(Ask for collection and recommendation)

On the way back to Beijing, Lou Ji encountered an interesting thing.

A few fanatics dressed as scholars, following the carriage of a scholar and a woman, deliberately chanted some poems with ambiguous meanings in a loud voice, and refused to leave no matter how the chariot slave reprimanded.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, there are occasional passers-by, either turning a blind eye or laughing without saying a word, and they are very tolerant of these scholars.

This is also an old tradition, when the scholar and girl travel, once they are alone, they will be followed, and sometimes the father and brother can not stop these wild bees and butterflies by their side.

The building was on horseback, but it was slow, and the scholar and the carriage gradually disappeared ahead.

A few miles later, he met the scholars again, and the carriage was nowhere to be seen, and the scholars dismounted, stood on the side of the road, shouting and scuffling at each other, which could be called "Sven sweeping the floor".

They were fighting over something thrown out of the carriage, and they all claimed that it was a token from the young lady to themselves.

There are a lot of people around who are watching the excitement, and they don't persuade them, they just watch, and occasionally help someone, and the more they help, the more chaotic they become.

This is just an ordinary little thing, and there is no special ending, and the building base did not even stop to watch the excitement, but the whole scene was imprinted in my heart and refused to dissipate.

Entering the city gate, merging in the crowd of people coming and going, Lou Ji suddenly understood, what he cared about was not the romance, not the shamelessness of the scholars, not the young lady's sowing discord, but the peaceful scene, even if he sent the army to the battle, there was not much grief of life and death, and life in the eastern capital was as usual.

Lou Ji reined in his horse and stopped in the midst of the surging crowd, losing all confidence in an instant: should the emperor really be assassinated? Are you qualified to change all this? If the assassin fails again, he will be a clown who jumps off the beam, just adding some talking points to the people of Dongdu, in case he succeeds......

The building base shuddered, and the people behind him urged impatiently, and he continued to walk.

When you go back to the new house, you can go to the front street, and the building base does not want to see people, and would rather go to the back alley, where there are fewer relatives than the front street.

As he passed by his old home, he saw a man standing in front of the door.

The man was very strange, like a door god walking down from the door panel, just blocking the entrance, facing the street, his eyes were blank, like an old monk who had entered the meditation.

This man was not old at all, about thirty years old, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, and the expression on his face could not tell whether it was fierce or indifferent, in short, it was a look of rejection from thousands of miles away, as if no one else could see him.

He dismounted from the building, slowly greeted him, and asked, "Your Excellency is here to find someone?" ”

It took a while for the man to summon the wandering soul back from a distance, looked at the horse leader, and asked, "Are you the seventeenth son of the Lou family?" ”

His voice was a little hoarse, worthy of his ferocity, not worthy of his divine wandering.

"It is under the following that I did not ask Your Excellency for your name."

"You don't know me?"

The building shook its head.

"Then why are you helping me?"

Lou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then woke up, "Your Excellency is Tian Zhuangshi?" ”

"I'm not a strong man, I'm just an ordinary person, my name is Tian Jiang."

Lou Ji smiled: "I have heard Your Excellency's name for a long time. ”

"Did you hear it from Zhou Lu? You've been fooled, and he doesn't have a few words of truth in his mouth. Tian Jiang coughed, "Okay, the person has seen it." My mother insisted on letting me come, saying that I couldn't repay the favor. But I can't repay the favor, so I can only come and take a look and let you know about it. ”

"Know you can't repay the favor?"

"Yes."

"I understand, Brother Tian is worthy of being a person who lives up to his name."

"I don't understand your words."

"Brother Tian's name is filial piety, and he is also filial piety, and he doesn't want any other false names, which is called the name and the truth."

"Hmm." Tian Jiang was obviously not interested in the evaluation of the building foundation, so he said goodbye and left without looking back.

Lou Ji felt that this Tian Craftsman was indeed a strange person, but unfortunately he didn't need it now, and he didn't want to use it, and the assassination was now his own business.

A pair of eyes appeared in the crack of the neighbor's door, and he didn't want to pay attention to the neighbor, but the neighbor said: "This man has been standing at the door of your house for two days, and he came before dawn, and he left after dark, and he scared the child, and he won't come again tomorrow, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Lou Ji said.

Everything was as usual in the new house, and the servants had already heard that the seventeenth prince would not go out with the army, so he prepared water, food, and new clothes to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the master.

The building was washed and changed, and he didn't want to eat, so he asked the old servant, "In which room is the box sent from the mansion in it?" ”

"The cloth and other things are in the treasury of the east wing, the gold, silver and jewelry are in the bedroom, and the keys are in the hands of the county lord, do you want to inspect it?"

Lou Ji shook his head and got up to go to the bedroom.

The servants were puzzled, and one asked, "Does Childe not want to stay?" Other sons can't stay if they want to. ”

The old servant said: "The son is ambitious, and he regrets losing a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

Everyone else suddenly felt that it made sense.

Zhang Shiqing is a child's temper after all, the day before yesterday tears flowed non-stop, but today he and Xiao Yahuan were playing double land across the table with great interest, her chess pieces were about to enter the opponent's territory, and she was so excited that she shouted and screamed, and Xiao Yahuan did not back down, holding the dice with both hands, to throw a good point.

As soon as the building was entered, the cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

"How did you get back? Didn't you go west with the army? Zhang Shiqing was a little annoyed.

"Didn't the general leave me behind, and the servant didn't tell you?"

"I don't talk to them." Zhang Shiqing said coldly, turning his head, "I won't talk to you either." ”

Lou Ji smiled and looked around, "Where is the box sent by Dafu?" ”

Zhang Shiqing didn't squeak, and the little girl got up and said, "Put it under the bed." ”

Lou Ji walked to the bed, bent down to probe, and sure enough, he saw several boxes, all identical, he pulled them out one by one, and found that they were all locked.

"Give me the key." Lou Ji said.

Zhang Shiqing broke his promise, turned to the building foundation, and reached out to press his waist, "I knew that there would be this moment, you are no different from those who are born poor, you will become bad after you get rich, you can't do without money in your eyes, and you always want to squander it." ”

Lou Ji smiled bitterly: "I'm only looking for one thing, the others don't move, and - this is Lou's box, not your dowry." ”

Zhang Shiqing thought for a while, "If the person who married is not me, but an ordinary girl, will the Lou family still give you these things?" ”

Lou Ji had to admit: "No." ”

"Yes, so the contents of the box are mine."

The emperor is smart, so the children of the clan he likes are also sharp-toothed, Zhang Shiqing is no exception, the first few days were too sad, so he didn't fully reveal it.

Lou Ji was a little spirited, "This is the Lou family, since you are married, you have to abide by women's morality, the princess must have taught you, 'unmarried from the father, married from the husband', I am the husband, you have to obey me, so give me the key." ”

"And 'husband dies and obeys the son', we won't have a son, and when you die, I will be free, and no one will have to obey."

Lou Ji laughed twice, "Then you have to wait, aren't I still alive now?" ”

Zhang Shiqing thought for a while, "I'll open the box for you, no, colorful, you go open it, keep an eye on it." ”

The name of the little girl ring is "Colorful", and the building foundation can't help but think that the county lord may like those Meng Lang scholars who can chant poetry on the road.

Colorful came over with the key and asked, "Which one does Childe want to drive?" ”

The appearance of the boxes is similar, the floor is fingered with one finger, and after opening it, he recognizes at a glance that this is not the target he is looking for, so he points to another box.

When it came to the third box, it was finally right.

The first two boxes are gold and silver, and this one is full of jewelry, red, green, and green, which is eye-catching.

The county lord hasn't checked the box yet, and the little girl doesn't care much about the gold and silver, but she gasps when she sees the jewelry, "The county lord come and see, there are a lot of gems!" ”

Zhang Shiqing didn't hold his breath, immediately got up and walked over, refusing to approach the building foundation, standing behind Xiao Yahuan, looking into the box, with a happy face, "Great, let's roll the dice with the sisters again, it's useful, quickly open the other boxes, let me see." ”

Colorful knows a little bit of the rules, and looks up at the building foundation.

Lou Ji said: "Everything is yours, I will only take one." ”

"Just one?"

"Well, and it won't be your liking."

"You take it."

"You two get out of the way."

Zhang Shiqing said with a smile: "I won't be fooled, there must be something good hidden underneath, which is more valuable than other jewelry, so you don't want me to see it." ”

Lou Ji couldn't help it, reached into the jewelry, groped inside, Zhang Shiqing and Colorful stared intently.

Lou Ji took out a dagger, and the two were disappointed.

"Your Lou family is really weird, why are you hiding a dagger in a jewelry box?"

"It's for the town box." Lou Ji casually talked nonsense, Zhang Shiqing also believed it, and nodded, "Then you can take it, colorful, lock the box." ”

Xiao Yahuan made her eyes, and Zhang Shiqing suddenly woke up, "What are you going to do with a dagger?" ”

"Put it with my knife." Lou Ji continued to lie and treated Zhang Shiqing like a child.

"No, you heard that Sister Huan Yan is going to get married, so ......"

"So I'm going to kill with a dagger? Kill whom? Lord Huanyan, or my younger brother? The county lord of Huanyan is in the palace, and the twenty-third brother will not come back for a while and a half with the army, and I will not see any of them. ”

Zhang Shiqing put his mind at ease, "Why do you men like things like daggers?" ”

Lou Ji smiled: "Each has its own good, you want jewelry, I want a dagger." ”

Lou Ji put the dagger in his bosom, went to another room, closed the door, pulled out the dagger and looked at it, and tied it firmly to the inside of his right ankle with a strip of cloth.

He sat at home and waited, the hesitation he had had long since disappeared without a trace.

Before dark, the General's Mansion of the Chinese Army really sent someone to invite, and the two brothers had to enter the palace to stand by.

Lou was in a good mood, "My father is on the march, and I am in charge of the family." Seventeen, you should be patient, I will not be like my father, who connived at your misdeeds. After you enter the palace, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, think more about the Lou family, the Lou family is prosperous, and you can also get benefits, right? ”

"Yes, follow my brother's teachings." Lou Ji thought in his heart that no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, he should be able to make his father more vigilant, which is what he thinks about the Lou family.

The dagger is already there, the mouth is not used yet, and the third brother Lou is not his goal.
