Chapter 96: The Purple Tower

After coming out of Qiao's house, Lu Rong wandered around Yanjing City at dusk for a long time before returning home.

It's still a little bleak to say, but this is the first time that Lu Rongchang is so old and relaxed to wander around in a capital city.

In Chang'an City before, it was because he was in danger and had to hide in Buzhuang at all times, while in Fenzhou, he was invited into Qiaofu without worrying about food and clothing after seeing the whole picture of the ancient city, and Taiyuan Baoding and other places were all for various reasons or passed through the city without entering or just passing by in a hurry.

At this moment, Lu Rong was mixed with the bustling crowd and walked wantonly, and he had never seen the big world, but he had a wonderful feeling of being reincarnated.

It is already the middle of February, and two days later is the day of listening to the government, Yanjing City can be seen everywhere the city defense guard patrol guard, many small merchants and hawkers on the street are driven away from the main road in the alley and shouting hard, the business of the restaurant and the inn does not seem to be affected by anything is still full of people, the Yuefu Lane not far in front is the famous place of wind and moon in Youzhou, the large and small seven or eight green buildings make this the most prosperous place in Yanjing City after the filial piety temple in the south of the city, just as the sky is not yet dark and there is a rush of traffic, Countless old bustard servants were ushered in, and a lively and noisy sound could be heard from a distance.

It's a peaceful and prosperous world.

A palace servant named Lu De quietly came over and asked, "Do you want to go and sit inside?" ”

Lu Rong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't react a little: "Where are you going?" ”

Lu De said with a smile: "Naturally, it's the Cardinal Tower, that's the signboard of our Yanjing City, I heard that the Youzhou Oiran Liu Que'er heard that the son came back and said that he was willing to open a pavilion for the son, and he didn't even want to comb the silver." Our Yanjing City has spread. ”

This little guy is Lu Rongde's personal servant, and he is not very old. King Yan has no children, and their subordinates naturally have no chance to be powerful and powerful, and now they have already been looking at those Yanjing City gentlemen who have been looking for pleasure all day long. Now that he can serve His Royal Highness, the most valuable prince of the world, why don't you hurry up and find an opportunity to instigate?

As for what the consequences would be if he was discovered by the general afterwards, Lu De watched coldly for a long time, naturally knowing that the general spoiled His Royal Highness the Prince of the World depended on everything, even if he really stayed overnight, what would it matter?

"Yes." Lu Rong smiled faintly. Where has he heard of any willow bird red bird building, of course, he will not know that this Youzhou Oiran was originally from the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible for ordinary people to see each other without spending a few hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Rong was actually a little eager to try, he always listened to Wu Lao Huang and others boasting about how they were above the Qinglou when he was a soldier in the Fallen Horse Pass, and Lu Rong was still an ordinary pawn at that time, so he naturally couldn't imagine the beautiful scenery here.

However, His Royal Highness Lu Rong, who is now an indescribably expensive prince, was not so impatient, but retreated and walked into the Zijin Building opposite the signboard Red Bird Tower.

In the final analysis, such self-deception comes from the deep depths of my heart.

After all, Lu Rong is just a chick after all.

Seeing this group of people coming, the oldest bustard in Yanjing City's eyelids jumped and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and welcomed Lu Rong and others into the building like a kind of rouge powder and vulgar stars holding the moon, not to mention good wine and good food, the cautious bustard asked Lu Rong's identity after a side knock and unsuccessfully, and then stopped asking the bottom of the matter.

This is also an unwritten rule in the Land of Wind and Moon.

In fact, the old bustard had already muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, only blindly flattering and serving carefully, there were not many guests in Zijin Building, and it seemed that the limelight was snatched away by the Cardinal Building with several Oiran in Youzhou opposite, Lu Rong was not used to such a thing, so he sat in the hall casually, drank less wine, and only tasted the food, and several accompanying girls were very enthusiastic, but Lu Rong's mind was attracted by a young man.

This man has an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and even the daughter who sits with him is also ordinary, but Lu Rong feels that the man's eyes always seem to be aimed at him intentionally or unintentionally, as if he has seen through Lu Rong's pretense, drinking glass after glass of wine, always with a faint unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heavy beard is curled, giving people a very shrewd feeling.

Lu Rong was a little uncomfortable by this feeling, but he couldn't say anything, every time he wanted to make eye contact with the man, the other party seemed to be prepared to avoid it early.

If it was another gentleman, he might have been unable to help but go up to find fault with him, but after all, Lu Rong had never cultivated to such a point, so he could only pretend to inadvertently ask a few girls around him about the origin of this person.

"This person's slave family doesn't know, I only know that he came to our Zijin Mansion every day about half a month ago, and he was very generous, but he never refused to stay overnight."

"And where does he live?"

"I heard that I live in the Guilai Inn, what's wrong?"

Lu Rong replied perfunctorily, and then saw that the man was still sitting lightly and unflustered, and he also laughed at himself for being too sensitive.

The last assassination outside Baoding really left a small shadow in his heart.

But after all, this is Yanjing City, and Lu Rong is sure that there must be a few Gou Chenzi with extraordinary skills hidden by his side, and he is always patrolling around.

After being poured a few glasses of wine, Lu Rong got up and went downstairs when he saw that it was not too early, and a group of servants hugged him in front of him, and he had already decided in his heart that this person was the old bustard of His Royal Highness the prince and sent it to the door with a careful smile, His Royal Highness ordered the four girls today are the top brands of the Zijin Building, although they are not as famous as Liu Que'er on the other side, but they are all the treasures of the town store when they are Chu Chu moving and well-behaved, but it seems that the appearance of His Royal Highness is not very enjoyable, which really makes the old bustard a little uneasy.

Regarding the temperament of this top boy in Youzhou, Yanjing City is still in the exploration stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones.

The old bustard even secretly wondered if his highness would come again next time, would he call out the young minister who had spent a lot of money in Zijin Lou to train for a long time.

Where did Lu Rong know that he was mistaken for being good for Longyang, he smiled and rewarded the old bustard with a few taels of silver, and said a few polite words, and Lu Rong, who stepped out of the door, inadvertently turned back to find the young man.

People go to the empty chairs.

Back at the palace, Lu Rong, who was slightly drunk, was blowing wind and relieving his hangover in a pavilion by the Qiong Pond.

Wuli Qiongchi occupies a very large area, there are 10,000 koi swimming in the same pond to raise the luck of Youzhou, according to the general Lu Yuan, the number of koi here is only one less than the 10,000 lithium pond in the imperial garden of Tianjing City.

Perhaps because he grew up on the shore of Baiyang Lake since he was a child, he was accustomed to the sparkling water and calm people's spleen, and since Lu Rong lived in the Yanyi Palace, he would sit here for a while almost every day.

The little servants who went out to hang out with him had all retreated, and were replaced by more than a dozen young maidservants to serve around Lu Rong with a newspaper in his hand but he was not in a hurry to read it, but he was already drunk by closing his eyes alone.

The center of the dynasty has not had any decisive events since the New Year, everything is plain, the only thing that can make Lu Rong pay some attention is that the court has made a preliminary assessment of the replacement of the leader of the Wuliang Ha tribe in the north, and the final conclusion is that it is not very optimistic and hopes to prepare early, for this reason, the military department and the five armies have specially dispatched a few soldiers and horses to Taiyuan Mansion to garrison, among which there is a prominent name that is not surprisingly listed among them - Zhang Zhongji, the son of Zhang Zuogong, the emperor of the dynasty, One of the most highly anticipated young generals in the Central Plains Army.
