@: Chapter 259

The Qinhuai River is divided into four sections, each of which is centered on a super boat.

The section of the river occupied by the mirage pavilion is completely different from the Biyun Pavilion, the Biyun Pavilion is prosperous and noisy, the mirage pavilion is better than the beauty of the scenery, and the large mirage pavilion is located under a huge cliff, which looks like a pavilion built on the cliff from a distance.

The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are so soft, but the mountains and rivers here are unique, Lu Zheng came here for the first time, and couldn't help but be shocked by the scenery here.

His Royal Highness King Pu invited guests, the pomp was amazing, Lu Zheng's boat rippled on the river, and when he entered the range of the mirage, there was immediately a delicate and gorgeous painting boat approaching.

On the painting boat, there was a woman with a graceful temperament, and the woman Ying Ying saluted Lu Zheng and said, "May I ask if you are Jiangning Lu Zheng and Lu Gongzi?" ”

Lu Zheng's heart was terrified, you must know that Qinhuai River is a place of wind and moon, but the femininity in front of her is graceful, and she is born rich and noble at a glance, and she does not get a little wind and dust!

Lu Zheng didn't dare to make a mistake, and respectfully replied: "It's Lu Zheng below!" ”

"Master Lu, please move the bottle painting boat, the prince has prepared a banquet, and he is waiting for the son!" The woman said well-behaved.

As she spoke, a servant immediately put a ladder for Lu Zheng to board the ship, and Lu Zheng easily boarded the painting boat, which carried Lu Zheng close to the mirage.

The Mirage Pavilion was as luxurious as a palace, and wherever Lu Zheng walked, there was a velvet red carpet on the ground, and there were maids and servants on both sides.

The leader was replaced by a father-in-law, who was only about thirty years old, white-faced and beardless, and his voice was sharp-pitched, and he was also very polite to Lu Zheng, he said:

"Haha, I didn't expect the famous Lu Zheng and Lu Gongzi to be so young, what a young talent!"

Lu Zheng smiled indifferently, arched his hand at the other party, and then stuffed a silver ticket without the smell of fireworks, the other party was obviously stunned, but he still skillfully took the silver ticket in his hand.

He looked at Lu Zheng sideways, and his eyes were obviously different.

It's not because Lu Zheng gave him silver, he hasn't paid attention to this bit of silver in his identity, the key is that Lu Zheng seems to know these routines well at a young age, which is really rare.

Jiangnan is not as good as the capital, there are very few eunuchs in Jiangnan, and there are only a few eunuchs stationed in Jiangnan, and there is a group of eunuchs in charge of affairs in King Pu's mansion.

These eunuchs all belong to the management of the capital, that is to say, the eunuchs in the capital and the eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River actually belong to a system, and theoretically, the eunuch in front of him may be transferred to the capital!

Lu Zheng knows so much about the routines of his ministers, naturally because of the relationship between Master Yan, and Elder Yan's teaching to Lu Zheng is mainly to focus on these aspects, so Lu Zheng's behavior does not look like a chick at all, but gives people the feeling of an old man who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

The eunuch's surname is Ma, the confidant of His Royal Highness King Pu, although King Pu has no real power, but nominally King Pu is the master of the Southern Imperial City, and Eunuch Ma is naturally in charge of all matters in the inner court of the palace.

Among the twenty-four yamen of the inner court in the capital, the position of Eunuch Ma belongs to the most powerful celebrant eunuch, although he is in Jiangnan, and his influence cannot affect the capital at all, but he still has considerable authority in Jiangnan.

As he walked, he talked to Lu Zheng at the same time, and he had a good conversation, and just like that, the two of them walked up the stairs until they reached the highest level of the Mirage Pavilion.

On the top floor of the Mirage Pavilion, there was a huge banquet hall, which was already full at this time.

Lu Zheng swept over at a glance and saw a lot of talents, it was really a black oppression, and among many people, Lu Zheng saw familiar faces.

Su Qing, the master of Xuezheng, was here, Ruan Shaolin was also there, and Li Mu, Lu Zheng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw so many people at a glance, he thought that King Pu's banquet was just him, but he didn't expect so many people.

His expression was still calm, and when he walked to the door, Eunuch Ma suddenly pulled his neck and shouted: "Jiangning Lu Zheng Lu Gongzi has arrived!" ”

This shout immediately caused a commotion in the audience, and many talented people stood up to look at this side, Lu Zheng had to walk into the door quickly, without squinting, until he walked to the front of the five-clawed python seat where His Royal Highness King Pu was sitting, knelt respectfully, and said:

"Jiang Ningsheng Lu Zheng has seen His Royal Highness King Pu!"

King Pu squinted and stared at Lu Zheng, laughing, his laughter was full of metallic texture, his clothing and temperament were first-class, worthy of being a nobleman and a royal family.

"Let's get flat!" King Pu raised his hand, Lu Zheng stood up, and then King Pu made a move that shocked the audience, he actually stood up, walked in front of Lu Zheng, and said:

"Brother Zheng, speaking of which, I've been friends with you for a long time! It's amazing, when he first showed his edge in the Qinhuai River, he won a full house, and compared Li Mu, the first genius of my palace, to the Lu family! ”

Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Back to the prince, the students are frightened and ashamed, many rumors outside are false, and they should not be taken seriously. That day in Biyun Pavilion, it was just a misunderstanding, and Brother Li Mu and I were only new acquaintances, and there was absolutely no so-called Dou Wen.

As for Miss Fan Duoduo, it was just the right time, but there happened to be two words coming out, and many people were cranky, adding oil and vinegar, and the rumors were untrue! ”

Lu Zheng spoke, and King Pu kept staring at him, not taking his eyes off his face. At this moment, not to mention a sixteen-year-old boy, even if it is an official below the first or third grade, he will definitely be nervous.

Look at the people present, look at the specifications of His Royal Highness King Pu's hospitality, the talents who came today, whether it is a royal guest like Li Mu, or a talent invited from outside like Ruan Shaolin, everyone seems restrained and cautious.

But looking at Lu Zheng's expression, calm and calm, this alone, he is much higher than the talent of everyone present, King Pu's expression is still the same, but he greatly appreciates Lu Zheng in his heart.

The location of the banquet had already been arranged, and Lu Zheng was coincidental or uncoincidental, Kankan sat next to Ruan Shaolin, and in front of the two sat Su Qing.

This arrangement did not deliberately highlight Lu Zheng, but from a certain angle, Lu Zheng's position was almost on a par with Su Qing, in fact, everyone could see that King Pu attached great importance to Lu Zheng.

You must know that Su Qing's identity is not ordinary, aside from the background of the Su family in the capital, his identity as a direct scholar and politician alone cannot be underestimated, you must know that today's Puwang banquet is not an official, but a young leader in the Jinling academic circle, Su Qing appears here, almost no one can drink him side by side, however, now Lu Zheng's position is only half a step behind him, and this position is much more conspicuous than Li Mu's position!

Lu Zheng sat down, turned his head to look at Ruan Shaolin, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Shaolin, don't come unharmed!" ”

Ruan Shaolin's face was quite ugly, and he snorted softly, "Lu Zheng, aren't you facing Biyun Pavilion?" Why come here? It's a mirage! ”

Lu Zheng said lightly: "Brother Ruan, didn't your Ruan family also hold the girl?" Why did Brother Ruan come to the Mirage? If Brother Ruan of the Mirage Pavilion can come, I will naturally come, don't you say? ”

Ruan Shaolin let out a long breath, and his heart was very suffocated.

In the face of Lu Zheng, he really had a sense of powerlessness from his heart, when he was in Yangzhou, he was not convinced by Lu Zheng, but he was taught a hard lesson by Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng made a poem, and no one in the audience dared to write a poem, and he remembered that situation.

After coming to Jinling, Ruan Shaolin's first move to fame fell short because of Lu Zheng's poem. Lu Zheng's words "Linjiang Immortal. "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" is indeed much higher than his painstaking work, Ruan Shaolin is extremely sad and angry, but he has to swallow the bitter fruit of shame.

Ruan Shaolin is a young genius and has never served anyone, but after meeting Lu Zheng, he has been repeatedly frustrated, and that sense of despair in his heart once made him collapse, and now, Lu Zheng is sitting next to him, you can imagine how far his heart has collapsed at this time.

In an embarrassing atmosphere, the banquet finally began, King Pu raised his glass and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today this king is holding a banquet in the Mirage Pavilion, and the intention does not need me to say that everyone can understand, the girls of the Mirage Pavilion like talents, since ancient times, beauties love talents, and it will be the Yangzhou Oiran Contest soon, do you know who the top girl of my Mirage Pavilion is this time?" ”

"Hehe, you are not in a hurry, let me sell it, let's drink wine first today, I salute you for this glass of wine, do it first!" His Royal Highness King Pu laughed.

In the royal family, King Pu is a prince with a good reputation, and he is also a very smart prince. He is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he cannot have the opportunity to hold real power in this life, he knows this, and he is also content with the status quo.

And the same prince, the two sons of the current emperor, King Qin and King Qi, are completely different, as long as the crown prince does not ascend the throne for a day, the two princes will still have the opportunity to replace him, so the style of King Qin and King Qi is completely different from King Pu.

Today's meeting is King Pu to do the east, but secretly it is the will of King Qin, Lu Zheng quietly raised his glass, thinking about today's situation in his heart, but he really had no idea for a while.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and a bold genius began to stand up and ask:

"Your Royal Highness King Pu, you have also sold your Guan Zi today, and we are waiting very anxiously. We have heard that Miss Li Qianqian of the Mirage Pavilion is both talented and beautiful, and today we are all here for the name of Miss Li Qianqian!

I believe that there is our support behind Miss Qianqian, and the first place in the Jinling Oiran Competition this time must be none other than Miss Qianqian! ”

As soon as this talented man spoke, everyone immediately responded, and for a while, everyone said what you said, and I echoed every word. Lu Zheng's expression was calm, but he sneered in his heart.

He has been a human being for two lives, and he doesn't know how many routines he has experienced, and the routine in front of him is not very clever in his eyes.
