Before the sky completely darkened, the lights turned on, and the warm yellow light illuminated everyone's faces a little hazy, inadvertently diluting the class status of the big guys, and everyone talked without restraint, accompanied by the whole suckling pig, eight-treasure duck, angelica stewed beef, roasted donkey meat, old turtle soup, roasted rice cakes, all kinds of precious cured meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, local wild vegetables, drinking mellow and sweet glutinous rice wine, but there is quite a kind of "all brothers in the four seas" heroic.

Lu Liuhan changed his skirt and came out, causing everyone to applaud "oh-oh-". She has a bright and beautiful appearance, and because she is often dressed in red, she usually gives people a sense of imposingness. After changing this lake blue dress offline, the feeling of being high is not so strong, looking more gentle and bright than before, and the eyebrows and expressions are full of charm.

Someone looked at her dress, which seemed to match the bright blue and white crane robe on Nan Luyuan's body. Although there were many festive red clothes, there were not a few people in blue clothes. But at first glance, it looks like a pair, and it seems that there are only Nan Luyuan and Lu Liubin.

So the man stabbed the brothers on his side with the strength of the wine, and asked with a smile: "Nan Gongzi and Miss Lu look really a good match." ”

His voice was still quite loud, but the people around him were also noisy, so everyone could hear it, but they just didn't know where the source was.

When Nan Luyuan heard this, he felt his face burn in panic. His complexion was fair, and he had become a lot darker this year, and he didn't slowly recuperate until he had less work before the winter flood. However, the complexion is too white, and this shame makes the whole face look like a ripe shrimp. Lu Liuhui still wanted to be cheeky to help him cover up, but when he heard everyone's increasingly fierce tone, he suspiciously turned his head sideways and saw Nan Luyuan's ridiculously red cheeks, and sighed sadly in his heart, burying his face in his palms, hoping to find a crack in the ground to stuff Nan Luyuan in.

Although Zhang Shenling didn't make a fuss, he was like a mirror in his heart, and when he was picking clothes, he was deliberately looking for someone who matched Nan Luyuan's body.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the scene and couldn't hold it back, afraid of scaring the pair of men and women separated by a veil, so she coughed, knocked on the edge of the bowl with a chopstick, and said, "Don't be scared of others, eat and eat." ”

Then he secretly glared at Zhang Shenling and mouth-shaped him: "At first glance, it's your kid's idea." ”

Zhang Shenling touched his nose and smiled.

They ate and drank until late at night. When the first round was about to eat, everyone stopped talking, playing a game of drinking, the scholars ordered the flying flowers, and the warriors played fists and guessed riddles. Nan Luyuan and the others sat in a circle, chatting about the recent anecdotes.

Zhang Shenling was holding the chicken leg bones in his mouth, and on the other hand, he cleaned his hands with mung bean noodles and mint water brought by the maid. Nan Luyuan started to stir up the conversation: "Brother Li got a boy this year, because he was born in winter, his name is frost and snow. said that he weighed eight pounds in his life, and he was white and fat, which was a blessing. ”

Zhang Shenling spit the bones aside and said in a small tone: "I'm afraid this word is not only because he was born in the snow, but also because he was born in the twilight snow." ”

Nan Luyuan said with a smile: "Brother Li is really blessed to be able to marry the woman he likes and give birth to a strong son." Zi Xiao said that his precious wife and children were tight, and his daughter-in-law and son were well hidden, and Li Xiang wanted to snatch the child to his side several times to raise him, but he was rejected by Brother Li. ”

"If someone wants to say that the eldest brother is not, it is from this father." Zhang Shenling took a bowl of turtle soup with a spoon, and said while drinking, "Li Xiang, this person, is probably the only stain in the eldest brother's life." If the child is really raised by him, nine times out of ten he will be a jackal. ”

Lu Liuli chewed the crispy suckling pig skin, propped his chin, listened to the discussion between the two of them, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Concubine Li was beaten into the cold palace last year, and this year, the king of Nanshang has to bother with how to fool the matter of choosing a concubine, right?" ”

Nan Luyuan's expression moved, and he seemed to think that he was indeed reasonable, so he responded: "I will write back tomorrow and ask him to pay more attention to this year's show girls and ministers' daughters." The king of a country is still vacant in the harem, and it will indeed be said. ”

Lu Liuhui held back a smile, exchanged glances with Zhang Shenling, and felt that Nan Luyuan was indeed in the elm head of some things, very woody, "Nan Gongzi, it is estimated that the king of Nanshang is afraid to hear these words from top to bottom, and his ears are about to grind out calluses, who wants to see you urge again?" Besides, the king of Nanshang is indeed too young, so he can't rush for quick success. ”

Nan Luyuan said: "Loyalty is contrary to his ears, he doesn't want to listen to it, but this is really a matter of his reputation, whether he wants it or not, he can't help it." ”

Zhang Shenling laughed silently and couldn't straighten up.

Lu Liuhui buried her head and continued to chew the suckling pork in her bowl, chewing it "creaking" to show her sympathy for Nan Zixiao.

Nan Luyuan didn't notice the difference between these two, he quietly recalled the portraits and comments of the daughters of the ministers, and said: "The daughter of the Xu family seems to be good, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can also manage the family's property, I heard General Liang talk about her." ”

Zhang Shenling raised his forehead and said: "If a man takes the initiative to talk about a woman in the boudoir, nine times out of ten, he has someone in his heart." Second brother, can't you replace yourself? You said that you came to Miss Lu all day long, don't you like people? ”

Nan Luyuan was choked by him like this, he didn't come back to his senses, and subconsciously "Huh? It took a long time to come back to my senses. He maintained a smile on his face, squinting his eyes and staring at Zhang Shenling coldly: "Shen Ling, do you know too much?" ”

Zhang Shenling shuddered, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, second brother, you know me best, I don't know anything." ”

Lu Liuhui took a bite of wild vegetables, and Quan didn't hear Fang Cai's words.

After she finished eating, she rejoined the chatter between the two: "Do you know that the Ning Mansion has fallen?" ”

Both of them were stunned, and Zhang Shenling asked uncertainly, "Are you talking about the Ning clan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty?" ”

"There are thousands of Ning families in the world, and the one that can really be called by name is the Eastern Wei family," Lu Liuhui took the flower tea handed over by the maid, and used the tea lid to play with the wild camellia on the face, "They have an accident this year, and the sister-in-law was found to be colluding with other countries, and he, one of the seven sons, is completely unworthy, and he is robbing his eldest brother's reputation." ”

"Ning Dongchen?" Nan Luyuan is not too surprised, the second member of the Ning family has a reputation for not being real since a long time ago. If it weren't for his eldest brother, Ning Dongli, who was out all day long desperately defending against smuggling and invading foreigners, their Ning family would not have been able to last so long.

"But if Ning Dongli was still there, the Ning family wouldn't have fallen so quickly, right? Is something happening to Ning Dongli? "He keenly grasped the point.

"That's right!" Lu Liuhuan put down the teacup and said, "Ning Dongchen sold his whereabouts to a foreign clan for a considerable amount, some time ago in the autumn, Ning Dongli was harmed, and his whereabouts are still unknown. And Ning Dongchen, as a straw bale, can't support the Ning family at all, so now that the weather is cold, the Ning family has fallen. ”

Nan Luyuan sighed with emotion: "When I think that those amazing military array drawings and weapon construction assumptions in the past came from such a poor person who was replaced, I pity his talent that is not valued. ”

Zhang Shenling said: "Don't talk about such a heavy one, let's talk about something else - is it time for Her Royal Highness to get married next year?" ”

Nan Luyuan was stunned: "Has she grown to this age?" ”

Zhang Shenling rolled his eyes and looked Nan Luyuan up and down suspiciously: "You don't want to, right?" Her Royal Highness is not much less than you? Did you grow up with her? Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the princess should have been married last year, but I didn't expect it to be delayed until this year. ”

Lu Liuyan glanced at Nan Luyuan with her good-looking fox eyes, picked up the tea to hide her expression, and said with a smile: "During the winter banquet, Twilight and I could see that she was very interesting to Nan Gongzi. She was born noble, and she grew up with Nan Gongzi, of course, she is bound to Nan Gongzi. That being the case, how can you favor someone who is not as good as Nan Gongzi? ”

She wanted to see Nan Luyuan's reaction. Nan Luyuan and Nan Zisheng are the most honorable people in the entire Nanshang except for the king of Nanshang, if they are connected, they will inevitably cover the sky with one hand in Nanshang, and Nan Luyuan has never been moved by this?

Unexpectedly, when Nan Luyuan heard this, he didn't react at all, but said calmly in the same tone as evaluating a companion who worked with him but didn't make good friends: "If she really has this thought, she should reflect on herself and take care of it as soon as possible." There are rules on the ancestors of Nanshang, and the emperor is not allowed to marry the royal family. If she knowingly committed a crime, it would be unreasonable. ”

Lu Liuhui and Zhang Shenling looked at each other: Do you Nanshang still have such rules?

Zhang Shenling nodded with an almost imperceptible amplitude.

Lu Liu's words shook his head and said, "Except for Xuanji Pavilion, I haven't seen a place with so many rules. ”

These words aroused Nan Luyuan's interest. He raised his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, his eyes revealed a little inquiry, and his tone was also a little curious: "You have also entered Xuanji Pavilion?" ”

Thanks to the prophecies of Xuanji Pavilion every time, in his heart, it has always been a mysterious and unapproachable place. It is precisely because of this that Lu Liu's words aroused his interest.

After all, most people are very curious about such a mysterious thing.

Lu Liuhui said: "I told you that my mother came out of the Qing Cultivation Sect. She and the aunt of the current owner of Xuanji Pavilion were 'little double flowers in the rivers and lakes' back then, and it is precisely because of this relationship that I used to go in and out of Xuanji Pavilion in the past. ”

Zhang Shenling said curiously: "Is the pavilion master as rumored, with three heads and six arms, born with divine power?" ”

Lu Liuhui laughed and said: "That's not it, I have met the master of Xuanji Pavilion once, he was born quite handsome, ordinary people look at him, and they think that men in the world are tasteless, and women are not comparable to him." ”

"Is there really such a man in the world?" Zhang Shenling muttered.

"The pavilion master wears crane white clothes all the year round, and there is a good smell of goose pear on his body. People say he's got a stunt, but I don't know, but he does come and go without a trace, and he does do as he pleases. ”

Nan Luyuan listened to the "white clothes, with the fragrance of goose pears", his heart moved slightly, and he connected him with the person he felt when he fell into the water for no reason.

Suddenly, a huge bell rang. People cheered near and far in the city. The people greeted the New Year in twos and threes. The people around him were also laughing and noisy, and the maid had already brought dumplings up.

He quietly hid this thought.
