Lirong and Lilan return to Yongning Fang and tell everyone what they have discovered.

These people didn't believe it when they heard it, and they didn't go to the sixth uncle of Ziwuyu to visit them for many days, and several people didn't pay attention to whether the woman next door was gone.

"Go to the inn and see, the guards she brought have not returned!"

Xie Jinlian said that the guards had left after the race, because she had settled the accommodation fees in the post house after the race. ”

Lilan said, "Look at how a person can be bad, and talk about her style, there are still a few women in the world who are similar to her!" ”

"But what is she going to do if she stays in Chang'an and doesn't leave? Is it not enough for the suspect to lose? ”

"But Uncle Xinglufang said plainly that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant to let her return to Qianzhou quickly! How dare she not go! ”

Some people complained about Lirong and Lilan, why didn't they pull her out at that time, and asked her what she was going to do, and where to find her in case she didn't live in Meridian Valley.

Lirong said, "How can we be suitable, how can we say that the generations are there!" It's not difficult to find her, just go to the dog fighting workshop in the East City. ”

People are talking about it, not knowing what to do. If this woman doesn't go back to Qianzhou, does the Lord of Qianzhou know about it? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finds out, will there be blame?

As he was talking, a family member ran in and replied, "Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Lu of Qianzhou has arrived, just outside the gate." ”

Xie Jinlian and the others hurried to the front hall and ordered someone to invite the Lu family in.

The Lu family's outfit today is not as luxurious as in the past, but like the wife of a rich man's family, wearing a golden hairpin on her head, wearing three or four red gold big finger rings on her hands, and even the entourage and maid behind her have also changed, and they are no longer those people in Qianzhou.

Xie Jinlian asked, "Mrs. Lu, if you don't go back to Qianzhou, what are you still doing in Chang'an these days?" Aren't you afraid that adults will get angry in Qianzhou? ”

Lu Shi didn't raise his eyelids, and said to these people, "What are you going to do when you go back, to make them ashamed of me, and let the high trial line scold me without a head and a face?" I'll stay in Chang'an and not leave. ”

Xie Jinlian was so angry and funny, she said that if she didn't leave, she wouldn't leave, and she didn't even say a word, in case Qianzhou asked for someone from Yongningfang, where would they go to find it!

"And where do you live these days? Do you want to go back to Meridian Valley? Where does the money come from? If you don't go back to Qianzhou, we won't have half a penny for the cost in Chang'an. ”

The Lu family still looked like he was waiting to be ignored, pursed his lips slightly, and replied, "Ziwuyu, what is there to live in that broken village, I have sent back the guards and servants of Qianzhou a long time ago, as for whether I go back or not, Lord Thorn Shi will not think about me." ”

He also said, "Today is the twenty-first, the beginning of autumn, the beginning of autumn, the debt is not overnight, I am here to ask for an account." ”

"When did Yongning Fang owe money to others?" Xie Jinlian asked in surprise.

"I won 200,000 yuan in the sixth dog fight today, but the dealer only paid me 35,000 yuan, and transferred the 165,000 yuan owed by Yongning Fang to my account. The dealer said that we are both from Gaofu, and it is easy to talk, so he asked me to come and get it in person. ”

Lirong and Lilan's faces were red to the root of their ears at that time, and Lirong wanted to come back and quietly take the private money out to pay for it, but now she couldn't hide anything.

Xie Jinlian looked at them and understood that the Lu family was not talking nonsense.

When she left after the first game of the dog fight, she obviously still won a lot in her hands, how could she let these two losers lose more than 160,000 yuan in the sixth game?!

Second Mrs. Xie, who has always been careful and meticulous in keeping her family, was a little dazed at that time.

Fan Ying, Siqing, Cui Yan, and Li Wanqing all looked at Lirong and Lilan, their eyes full of surprise and incomprehension.

But this is not the time for infighting, you have to resist the Lu family first.

Xie Jinlian sneered and said, "Madam, do you have the leisure to fight dogs, do you know that Qianzhou has turned the sky upside down at this time?" Your actions in the horse race have already angered His Royal Highness the Prince, and if it weren't for the fact that you are from the Gao Mansion, I am afraid that you would have been beaten to death at that time! The prince ordered you to go back to Qianzhou as soon as possible to accept the disposal of Lord Assassin Shi, but you are good! ”

Li Wanqing understood, and continued, "Lord Chu rushed over to inquire two days ago, saying that by mid-October at the latest, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will receive a letter from Qianzhou Feixin and report your arrival in Guizhou. ”

Siqing said, "But you are still in Chang'an until now, even if you can fly, you won't be able to fly back in mid-October!" ”

The Lu clan became six gods and no masters, and muttered, "I don't want to go back, otherwise I won't be able to go back if I don't kill here, anyway, I'm not afraid of anything, it's a big deal to shake out the matter of Meridian Valley!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly got up to leave, "If you don't have any money today, I'll ask my servant to come and get it." ”

Fan Ying stood up and blocked, "Where are you going?" Are you still able to walk? ”

Cui Yan sneered, "Didn't you always want to live in the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department?" This time it's as you wish! ”

Lu Shi's face turned pale and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xie Jinlian said, "Why do you need to ask?" You didn't dare to go back to Qianzhou after passing through the palace, not to mention the fear of losing your whereabouts, and you dared to go to the East Market to swagger and run to the door to ask for debts! How can I let you go so easily when I finally see you today? I have to keep you first, and wait for Lord Qianzhou to send someone to pick you up! ”

"I, I have a place to live in Chang'an, I don't have to live in Yongningfang!" Lui said.

Cui Yan didn't wait for her to finish, and ordered loudly, "Come on, please ask Mrs. Lu to go to the side yard and find a room with strict doors and windows by the kitchen to live, and it will be more convenient to manage food every day!" ”

Outside the hall, the housekeeper Gao Bai, Ju'er and two sturdy servants entered in response to the call.

The Lu family regretted that he shouldn't have come to the door to ask for the account, if he let these people stay in the mansion, then he would not be able to leave if he wanted to.

Staying in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood, when the two servants came over and asked her to get up, Lu regretted not bringing more people. But Ma Xun didn't dare to come when she was killed, she blurted out, "As long as you don't send me back to Qianzhou, the 165,000 money, I don't want it!" ”

"Wait!"

Xie Jinlian raised her hand to stop, "Is this true? ”

Lu nodded, "I really don't want to go back to Qianzhou, what's so good about Qianzhou...... As long as you let me go, I don't want any more money! ”

Xie Jinlian blinked her eyes and thought about it, this is what she wanted.

What's wrong with hundreds of thousands of dollars, besides, it's just that two dogs are biting there, what does it have to do with Yongning Fang to pay so much money? It just doesn't make sense!

Lu Shi spat out, she was satisfied, and planned to promise to let her leave, "Okay, you write a note...... Just write 'The 165,000 money owed by Yongning Fang has been collected'! ”

After Lu Shi finished writing, signed and pressed his hand, Xie Jinlian picked it up and read it carefully, blew it and put it away, waved his hand and said, "You can ......"

"Sister, slow down!" Cui Yan said.

"What else?" Lu asked, a look of surprise on his face.

"The matter is here, it just shows that you don't have to live in Yongningfang, but you are still a person from Gaofu, and you will be there in mid-October, Lord Chu asked Qianzhou for someone, and Qianzhou naturally asked Yongningfang, what do you let us say?"

Siqing said, "What Sister Yan said is reasonable, Mrs. Lu, your trouble is really not small, and Lord Thorn Shi of Qianzhou always has to give an explanation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Inner Servant Province." ”

Li Wanqing said, "Your Excellency may be vomiting blood in Qianzhou, so I have to give you a suitable disposition, otherwise, there is no response to the prince's orders, do you want to kill your lord?" You have gone away without leaving us a specific place to live, where will you come to find you? ”

Lu Shi thought about it and said to these people, "Anyway, there is no good fruit to eat when I go back to Qianzhou, I have no relatives and no reason in Qianzhou, and Xinglufang and Yongningfang are not to be seen, I know this...... I, I invited myself to go out, and I have nothing to do with Gaofu from now on! ”

Xie Jinlian, Fan Ying, and Cui Yan didn't speak, but pouted at Lu Shi and motioned to her for the pen and ink on the table.

Lu gritted his teeth and picked up the pen again.

She wrote while thinking back to Qianzhou, from a widow to the side room of Qianzhou's assassin history, which was a long and tortuous experience, not something that an ordinary woman dared to think, but she did it!

Now, the situation is like this, and all this has to be thrown aside, and the Lu family has nothing to regret.

Because no matter how important this kind of identity transformation is, it is far from being comparable to the extreme leap from a poor town in Duwei to a prosperous place in Chang'an.

There are many thorn histories, and even generals, princes, county kings, and princes, who can step on eight in Chang'an, but there is only one in Chang'an!

When she wrote it again, the slight regret on her face was completely gone.

A few Mrs. Ru from Yongning Fang looked at it carefully, and Xie Jinlian said, "Mrs. Lu, you can go, we will never care where you live in the future, and we will send someone to Qianzhou to hand over the note of your invitation to go out." ”

Cui Yan's eyes flashed faintly with tears and said, "I want to set up a church in Yongning Fang, invite a drama troupe, and make this matter public, which can be regarded as an explanation for the August horse race!" ”

Lu Shi flicked his sleeves and went out, but no one sent him.

After the others left, everyone asked Cui Yan, "Do you really want to hold a meeting?" ”

Cui Yan said, "I'm just talking, but in Xizhou, I'm going to write to my mother and tell her about it as it is!" ”

……

Not to mention the church meeting, the bulk trading and trading, the dog fighting in the East Market, the sheng flute in Pingkangfang, the opera in Fanglin Yuan, and the large and small banquets of all the houses and ordinary people were all officially banned because of one thing.

One day after the beginning of autumn, Liang Guogong, Sikong, and Shangshu left servants shot Fang Xuanling, who died at the age of seventy.

Because he was a pin xun, his death was qualified to use the word "薨".

At that time, the evaluation of the Lord Fang was very high, since Zhenguan three years as the left servant of Shangshu, until his death, nearly 20 years of diligent public service, wise governance, the law is lenient, not to blame people for their own strengths, to take people do not look at their shortcomings, although humble but also can do their best.

During the serious illness of Lord Fang, Emperor Zhenguan consulted medicine several times, visited in person, and provided imperial food every day.

At this time, the emperor immediately started from Cuiwei Palace when he heard the news, and went to Chang'an Mansion with the crown prince Li Zhi.

When Lord Fang was dying, he said to his sons: "Today, I went to Qingping, but Your Majesty is not only fighting against Goryeo, but it is a national disaster." Before he died, he asked His Majesty to put the common people in the world first and stop conquering Goryeo. ”

The emperor was very moved, and said to Princess Gaoyang, the daughter-in-law of Lord Fang, "He is critically ill and dying, and he can still worry about my country, it's really rare!" ”

The edict was immediately passed on, and Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai was awarded the right guard Zhonglang general, and Fang Xuanling was the Zhongsan doctor. And asked Li Zhidao, "What are the plans of Gao Jun, the secretary of the military department, for the war in Goryeo?" Why didn't he arrive today? ”

Li Zhi replied, "There is something about the minister, because His Majesty is recuperating in Cuiwei Palace, so he did not talk about it - the secretary of the military department has gone to Quanzhou at the beginning of the month to preside over the relief of the disaster of Haiyi...... But while he was at sea, a pigeon had already sent a message! ”

"Oh?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked, "What about the disaster?" ”

"Your Majesty, the disaster situation is very severe, but the son ordered Lord Gao to go with the three departments of work, household and punishment, and along the way he brought the governors of Jing, Hubei and Yang. 100,000 catties of refined grain and more than 2,000 catties of anti-military medicinal materials will be transported to Quanzhou in about a few days. Next, the tall man plans to govern the service, public security, embankment, and siltation! ”

"Then let him go back quickly, and I will discuss the withdrawal of Goryeo according to Lord Fang's last wishes. The grain has arrived in the disaster area, and the disaster control strategy has been set again, leaving only Sanbu Langzhong in Quanzhou to continue to fight the disaster. ”

"Your Majesty, before leaving, Lord Gao had already predicted the direction of the war in Goryeo, and said that he would be able to withdraw his troops in another ten months."

The emperor nodded, and the crown prince asked again, "So, do you want him to come back quickly?" ”

"Master Fang is gone, of course he has to hurry back!"

The emperor's words linked Fang Xuanling's death with Gao Jun's return to Beijing, and the ministers present had some premonitions: The death of Lord Fang made the post of Shangshu's left servant vacant, this is a position that cannot be filled for a long time, does that mean......

……

The tenant Ningfang Military Department Shangshu Mansion sent away the Lu family, and Xie Jinlian had the strength to say Lirong and Lilan fiercely, and claimed that when Sister Liu came back, she would truthfully return the two of them who lost money by gambling on dogs.

"160,000 dollars! Let the two dogs bite a few bites! Do you really dare, have you forgotten the hard work of planting mulberry and raising silkworms in the ranch village? No, I must say! ”

Lirong and Lilan said soft words again and again, saying that if it weren't for Sister Xie, how could they be scared to leave the Lu family? Anyway, the money is not half paid, Sister Xie begs you not to say more.

And Cui Yan was in a good mood, and finally took a bad breath for her mother, she was busy going back to the room to write a letter to Xizhou, and at this time she also stood on the side of Lirong and Lilan and said good things, Xie Jinlian said that she would consider it.

"But before Jun comes back, none of you have to stay in Yongning Fang honestly, and don't go out and run crazy again and cause trouble for me!" And all the people rejoiced, and they did not stop agreeing.

Lirong took the opportunity to hint at Lilan, brought up the matter of Meridian Valley Land, and calculated the benefits of this matter from the beginning, Xie Jinlian felt that Lilan's words made sense, nodded for the first time, and agreed to this big expenditure of 85,000 yuan.

But Liang Guogong's funeral temporarily halted the transaction. For this reason, the emperor abolished the dynasty for three days, gave Fang Xuanling Taiwei, "Wen Zhao", and buried Zhao Mausoleum.

The tablet of Lord Fang has the most glorious place.

Gao Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and his wife Liu Yuru have not yet returned, and the high-level leaders of Chang'an have already spread it privately: Shangshu's position as the left servant is not Gao Jun!
