Seeing his son breaking in so unreasonably and recklessly, An Yuanshan was a little unhappy in his heart, and asked with a straight face, "What's wrong?" ”

An Shilu glanced at Lu Zuo and asked his father: "Just now this gentleman said that he was a disciple of his uncle, and the child was strange, so he came over to see what was going on!" Dad, when did my uncle have a disciple? ”

"You don't need to ask, they just sent us a letter!"

An Shilu saw that his father was too lazy to say, but he had the heart to break the casserole and ask in the end, "I'm also strange, my sister didn't say why a while ago, and hurriedly ran to Penglai to find my uncle to come to the capital, but my uncle came back but he didn't see anyone, and the child was strange?" Now another disciple has come back......"

"Alright!" An Yuanshan interrupted him, "This is your uncle's disciple, surnamed Tao Minghe. ”

An Shilu still politely saluted Lu Zuo, then looked at Yin Ji and said in surprise: "Yin Ji? Why are you with Mr. Tao? Is your master gone? ”

Yin Ji was questioned by him, and he was really angry, if it wasn't for someone else's house, it is estimated that he would have done it a long time ago. Lu Zuo was about to speak, An Yuanshan was already angry and roared: "An Shilu, how do you talk to the guest, this little brother is called Tao Qian, if you talk again in the future, I will not spare you." ”

"Good!" An Shilu glanced at Yin Ji and didn't think much about it, but he was unhappy when he was robbed of his father like this in front of outsiders, so he turned around and went out, saying, "Hmph, forgive that Lu Zuo for not being alive." ”

Looking at the back of An Shilu leaving in a hurry, An Yuanshan was so angry that his beard trembled, and muttered: "This unsuccessful rebel is a flying eagle lackey all day long, idle, and does not learn from his eldest brother, and sooner or later he will have endless hardships......

Jing Jingruo hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his father, and Lu Zuo also hurriedly smiled and said: "The lord doesn't have to be angry, the second son is still not sensible, in a few years, when he becomes a family, he won't be here." ”

The scorching summer sun swayed in the shade of the trees, and a few rays of light passed through the branches of the locust tree, and the light and shadow swayed back and forth with the cool breeze on the mossy stone steps. Under the tree, there is a stool and a table, and there is a guqin on the table, and a sandalwood incense stick is placed in the center, and the wisps of fragrance float with the wind all over the small courtyard. At this time, a wisp of piano sound sounded tactfully, and the graceful sound of the piano shuttled back and forth between the shadows of the trees, while the young man on the stone steps closed his eyes slightly, listening to it as if he had forgotten the hot summer.

After a song, a person in the courtyard clapped his hands and shouted "good". The person who stroked the qin was Lu Zuo, and he quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet him, and said: "The prince is smiling, and he has nothing to do to caress at will, so as to eliminate this scorching summer!" ”

Yin Ji and Lu Zuo were about to give a salute, and Liu Xun, the king of Ning, waved his hand to show that there was no need to be polite, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tao's piano sound is really soft and tactful, and this king is really fascinated by it!" ”

"It's hot outside, prince, let's go into the house!" Lu Zuo stretched out his hand as he spoke, and then called Yin Ji, "Qian'er, you go make a pot of tea!" ”

Liu Xun respectfully asked: "Okay!" Mr. Tao, please ......"

In the hall, after the two of them sat down, Liu asked politely: "Is Mr. Tao still used to these two days?" The four or five minions I bought for you are still good, right? ”

"Thanks to your care, the grass people are very used to it, and the four or five servants invited by the prince are also very dedicated." Lu Zuo saw Liu Xun's face embarrassed, and knew that he must have something difficult in his heart, "Lord Wang, do you have anything on your mind?" ”

Liu Xun smiled, "It seems that nothing can escape Lu ...... Mr. Tao's magic eye! To tell you the truth, July 24 is the birthday of the saint, and it is already twenty years now, but this king still hasn't thought about what birthday gift to prepare! Mr. Tao, can you give me a suggestion? ”

Lu Zuo asked rhetorically: "Lord Wang, you should think about it!" ”

Liu Xun was not surprised, knowing that Lu Zuo would indeed attack the heart, so he still smiled and said: "This king specially prepared a rhino horn beaded cup for my father, which was bought by this king at a high price from the envoy of the Western Regions!" After that, Liu Xun lowered his head and thought, "I just don't know if my father likes it?" ”

Lu Zuo smiled slightly, "Since the prince has no bottom in his heart, why do you want to send these?" ”

"But the king really can't think of anything else to give! In previous years, the princes and ministers gave these rare things, and if they didn't take a few decent shots, I am afraid it would be difficult to please the saints! ”

"Did you please the saint by sending these things in previous years?" Lu Zuo asked rhetorically.

Liu Xun hesitated for a moment, it seems that this is indeed the case, everyone has given away the things, and it seems that the saint did not say anything he particularly likes, "Mr. Tao is right, but if you want to find another way, this king really can't think of a reason!" Mr. Tao said so much, so what is your opinion? ”

"The following means: no gold, silver and jewelry!" Lu Zuo said indifferently.

"Nothing?" Liu Xun asked, "Is this ...... What does that mean? ”

Lu Zuo pretended to be deep, "Lord Wang, what you said, will the Holy Lord be lacking?" ”

Liu Xun lowered his head and shook his head.

"Since there is no shortage of saints, what is the use of you sending these! What you should think about is what is the most lacking in the Holy Lord? ”

"What is it...... Liu Xun lowered his head and muttered to himself, then raised his head and asked anxiously, "Mr. Tao, don't play dumb riddles with me, just say it!" ”

Lu Zuo smiled, "Of course it's the loyalty of the courtiers!" ”

Liu Xun suddenly realized, his brows stretched, "Yes, that's right!" It is this piece of loyalty, Mr. Tao's idea is really unusual, just ask which emperor does not want his courtiers to be loyal to him! ”

"As long as we can find a way to show your loyalty, I think the Holy One will keep you in his heart even if he doesn't say it."

Liu Xun pondered: "That...... What is the right thing to send? ”

Lu Zuo said confidently: "Don't worry, prince!" This matter is wrapped up in the grass people! ”

Liu Xun couldn't help but bow his hand, "Then there is Mr. Lao Tao!" Oh" Liu Xun suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Tao, there is one thing that I haven't told you!" ”

"Please!"

"Do you know that there is a restaurant next to the entrance of this house?"

Yin Ji stood behind Lu Zuo and hurriedly replied: "Of course I know, it's called 'Xinghua Restaurant', and the shop guys there are just dogs, and they almost didn't me off two days ago!" ”

Liu Xun's face was quite embarrassed, "What?" Yin Ji, did you eat other people's losses? ”

Yin Ji snorted, "That's not true, it's just that the dog's low appearance is really annoying, I just can't look past it." ”

"That's it!" Liu Xunyi smiled, "Then one day, this king will find out the guy you said, and scold him for being a bloody dog!" ”

Speaking of this time, Lu Zuo asked: "So, the prince of that restaurant, you are the owner behind the scenes?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Xun arched his hand, "This is what this king wants to tell Mr. Tao!" ”
