Chapter 66

Here Lu Rong was still comprehending the swordsmanship, and was disturbed by a light cough, and looked sideways, and saw that it was Wu's back.

The famous disciple of the champion Wang Xuan Ce smiled at the corner of his mouth, stood not far away with his hands in his hands, and did not salute when he saw Lu Rong, only nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness is so diligent." ”

Lu Rong threw away the branch in his hand, clapped his hands, walked over, and teased: "Old Wu got up late enough, was he tired last night?" ”

"I'm afraid Your Highness is tired, the two stunning maids in the room last night, Qiao Qisheng also specially asked my Highness's preferences." Wu Bei said with a smile.

"Okay, you old Wu, you are the one who co-authored, aren't you afraid that the Qiao family will think that I am a womanizer?" Lu Rong pretended to be angry.

Wu Bei was not afraid at all, and said with a faint smile: "Doesn't His Highness want the Qiao family to think so?" ”

The two looked at each other and tacitly understood each other.

Wu Bei took a few steps closer to Lu Rong and said softly, "The person sent to inform General Lu last night has returned, and brought back some secret reports from Gou Chenzi against the Qiao family. ”

Lu Rong didn't move, looked back at Qiao Wei who came from afar, nodded slightly and waited for the following.

A few years ago, the Qiao family entered the timber hoarding business in Qindi, and helped Liu Hongji, the king of Qin, to add tens of thousands of taels of silver. In addition, the son of the Huo Taibao family in the capital asked to marry Qiao Wei last year, but was rejected by Mrs. Qiao, which shows that he has a very good voice in the capital. Wu Bei's expression remained unchanged, and his speed of speech gradually increased.

Lu Rong snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Wait for the price and sell, this young lady of the Qiao family is not small, it is difficult to do it." ”

Wu Bei took half a step back, bowed to Qiao Wei, who was already approaching, and said lightly: "Climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix." ”

Lu Rong also turned around and looked directly at the daughter of the Qiao family in an elegant robe, with a warm smile on her face.

Qiao Wei approached slowly, and said with a slight salute: "Your Royal Highness is good, Mr. Wu is good." ”

Lu Jaw saluted, and the etiquette was not bad at all: "Miss Young is good." ”

Qiao Weiwei waved his hand to let the maid behind him hold an object, and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness, this peacock feather inlaid with gold is specially ordered by my ancestor to prepare it for His Royal Highness, and please don't think the workmanship is rough." ”

Lu Rong didn't leave Qiao Wei, and said with a smile: "It's hard work again, the Qiao family is gracious, I wrote it down, but I don't know that it was ordered by Old Lady Qiao, can the young lady still be willing to do it?" ”

Qiao Wei said lukewarmly: "It's just a mere mortal, how can it be more honorable and luxurious than His Highness's four-clawed python robe." ”

Lu Rong laughed and said: "The python robe is noble, and the phoenix robe is not as good. ”

Qiao Wei's eyes moved slightly, and he ordered the maid to send Dayu to Lu Rong's room, and then turned his head, he was already indifferent, and said in a flat tone: "I don't know if Your Highness rested well last night?" ”

Lu Rong also put away his playful smile, straightened his waist slightly, and sighed: "I'm still a little tired." "It's not that Lu Rong intended to say this, it's true that the cars and horses have been tiring for the past few days, and he has to stay in the guard post on the way every day, plus yesterday's battle.

Qiao Wei was obviously mistaken, so he snorted lightly and said, "Your Highness should pay more attention to your body." ”

Lu Rong smiled freely, didn't explain, just borrowed the donkey on the slope, looked back at Wu Bei, and said: "Thank you Miss Shao for reminding me, today I am going to let Wu Bei live with me, with him by his side, you can also restrain me a little." ”

Who knew that Qiao Wei's brows were even more furrowed, and his face was not good-looking, the Qiao family was rich and hospitable, and often entertained officials and celebrities, coupled with the operation of the most famous Qinglou in Taiyuan Mansion, naturally there were many absurd and dirty behaviors, at this time, thinking of Lu Rong's frivolous words last night, naturally wanted to be crooked, and his tone became cold, and said: "Your Highness is at your own convenience, there is no need to inform Qiao Wei." ”

Lu Rong didn't react, and Wu Bei didn't know either, and when he heard that Qiao Wei's tone was wrong, he was a little confused.

The three of them didn't speak, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, it happened that the housekeeper of Qiao's Mansion came to report to Lord Hu of Fenzhou, Lu Rong knew that he was here to report yesterday's case, so he went with Wu Bei to Weihuike with the housekeeper, and Qiao also took the opportunity to retire.

When I arrived at the front hall, I knew where Lord Hu came to visit alone, except for those who had not returned home from leave, all of them wore court clothes, and each came to meet His Royal Highness the Prince with gifts, and the civil officials were headed by Hu Deshao, the governor of Wupin Fenzhou, and the military attache was led by General Le Sheng, the chief officer of the Defense Department of Liupin and Wucheng, and there were 15 or 6 people, and the huge front hall was overcrowded, all of whom were officials who had obtained the quality in Fenzhou. Princely officials, the difference between one word is worlds apart, and not to say that between the official and the king is like a fish jumping over the dragon gate, it is said that there are countless thresholds between officials and officials, the six products are only the entry, and the three products are a big hurdle, which also has the distinction of Beijing officials and local officials, and there are many ways to learn, only by wearing the official uniform of the three-grade peacock or tiger and leopard complement can be regarded as the real glory of the ancestors, and get ahead.

This is the first time Lu Rong has received many court officials as a prince, unlike the previous pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, how can there be many yin and yang weirdness before, and only one or two people in the hall can speak, and the rest are nothing more than kneeling and bowing their heads, and they have a good conversation, so they each bow their goodbyes and leave.

Before Lu Rong could take a breath, the housekeeper came to report again, and the heads of several other wealthy merchants in Fenzhou also inquired and came to visit, although most of these families are small families who rely on the Qiao family to survive, but they also have a lot of words in their respective fields, including many squire merchants who also have business dealings in Youzhou, Lu Rong did not dare to slack off, accompanied by Qiao Wei, the young lady of the Qiao family, and was polite and soothing.

And then there were several representatives of the common people in the city who were very old and highly respected, and they came to thank His Royal Highness the Prince for speaking out yesterday to eliminate harm for the people, Lu Rong looked at these people with white hair and haggard faces, and were devastated by hardships and years to the point of old age, and he unconsciously felt a little heavy.

It is these hundreds of millions of people who work hard to contribute tax manpower to the dynasty, but they are very easy to be content, as long as they give them a little kindness, even if it is something that should belong to them, they can make them grateful to you, a thousand thanks.

You must know that they are the foundation of the society.

Seeing that when the housekeeper of Qiao's Mansion sent a few old people out, although his words were very polite, it was difficult to hide his arrogant demeanor, and Lu Rong suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Qiao Wei called a small servant and ordered to take away the bunch of messy gifts sent by the people in the corner of the front hall, Lu Rong waved his hand to stop it, walked over by himself, lifted a basket of eggs, took one in his hand, kept rubbing it, and had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Wu Bei slowly came behind Lu Rong and said softly, "Your Highness." ”

Lu Rong came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw that Wu Beiqiao and Qiao Wei were both staring at him, he smiled, looked at the eggs in the basket, and said, "Eat this at night, right?" ”

Wu Bei also smiled, mumbled, and took the basket casually.

Qiao Wei frowned slightly on the side, and suddenly had some strange feelings in his heart about His Royal Highness the prince, yesterday's debauchery and debauchery were very different from the words and expressions that he had just met with the people.

Is it the deep city, or is it a wandering wreck?

Before Qiao Wei could untie his eyebrows, he heard Lu Rong continue: "Stir-frying leeks with it is the most aphrodisiac." ”
