Just as Lu Zhen judged, after the next day, all the city of Hangzhou knew what happened on the flower boat in Yunshui last night.

As the only actor in this matter, Lu Jin's name as the general judge of the government is known to everyone, especially his derogatory remarks about poetry, and the poem he finally made that was named Chujian, which has long been known to everyone.

As people living in the south of the Yangtze River, what they value most when discussing this matter is the unforgettable poem. Although there are only a few dozen words, it completely reveals the lingering and sympathetic feeling of love, and everyone sings it for a while, saying that it is the first poem in recent years.

As a girl Yunyan who was written by Lu Jin, she was envious and jealous of the fireworks girls who were in the same company. You have long been the head of the flowers in Hangzhou, and now there is such a good poem that is rare in a hundred years, I am afraid that in the future, your identity will be too much apart from others.

At this time, the Huanchang and Qinglou women are not like the later (Nuchang) (female branch), as long as they have a good skin and good looks, they can get the favor of men, and they must also pay attention to the inside. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are better than all the ladies. And these are not the key to their ability to stand out from countless peers, the most important thing is whether they have outstanding skills, and whether there are literati who write a poem for them that is enough to overwhelm the public.

Yun Yan has the name of today's Oiran because she is a master of piano and dance, much higher than ordinary women, and with her stunning appearance, she can firmly sit first in Hangzhou. And now, there is such a poem written for her at first sight, as long as someone mentions this poem in the future, they will remember her, and the name of her Oiran is not to mention Hangzhou City, but the entire Jiangnan may no longer be able to shake it.

Lu Jin didn't know that the poem he threw out Nalan Rongruo in order to fight for face would have such an effect, but he knew one thing very well, that is, he had become the focus of everyone.

After noon the next day, no matter where you are, there will always be people around you who are secretly watching and then talking behind your back. Even the prefect looked a little strange when he met with him to talk about business, and he wanted to say something several times, but in the end he endured it.

This feeling made Lu Zhen very unaccustomed. He came to Hangzhou to be a low-key person, but now it is obviously the opposite of his wishes, and he will be watched by people when he walks outside, which is really awkward. But in the face of everyone's reaction, he couldn't do anything wrong, after all, people didn't do anything wrong, so the only thing to blame is to blame Qian Manjiang, a bad friend, for taking him to such a place.

But Qian Manjiang has not had a good time lately. He is a family person, and he was a little sneaky when he went to the Qinglou or something, but now because of Lu Jin's matter, the whole city knows about it, and the family naturally refuses to spare it. On the morning of the third day, Lu Zhen also saw several paw prints on his face, although he said that the cat at home accidentally scratched it, but everyone knew who the cat's true identity was.

In such a situation, Lu Jin, who had nowhere to be angry and didn't want to be seen as a Western scene, had to live in seclusion, and every day he was at home and at the yamen, even at noon, he only let people bring food to stay in the mansion to eat, but he didn't even go to the street.

But even so, the troubles of this matter have not been completely eliminated. At noon that day, when Xie Yao brought the food over, he was obviously hesitant, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

His reaction immediately fell into the eyes of Lu Jin, who had been very sensitive recently, and he said angrily: "If you have anything to say, don't look like you want to say something." ”

"Yes." Xie Yao took a step forward and said in a low voice: "That's the case, this time the third young master really suffered a lot of losses, and after returning home, he was severely scolded by the head of the family for twenty rattans, and he was imprisoned in the ancestral shrine for reflection." I heard that the third young master has hated you to the elderly, and he plans to look for you again after a while, and I hope that the adults will be careful. ”

"Third Young Master?" Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was referring to Xie Jingchang that day, and he smiled bitterly. It is said that Qinglou is the easiest place for men to make enemies, and the wine and wealth are almost full, which is really true.

This Xie Jingchang, obviously he was making trouble by himself, but he was ridiculed by himself and lost face, and then because he punished himself, did he actually have to settle the account on his head? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that the other party really has no other way than to settle the account on your own head.

Fortunately, he is not afraid of his little talent and gentleness, and in the name of the Xie family, it is impossible to really help him mess around, so there is no need to worry too much. Thinking of this, Lu Jincai smiled and nodded: "I know, I'll be careful." ”

"My lord, the Xie family's power in Hangzhou is too great, if you really let them do it, I'm afraid you will be very troublesome, even the prefect may not be able to protect you. So I hope you will prepare early......" Xie Yao said again, and then withdrew.

Lu Zhen originally smiled a little disappreciatively, but after eating two bites of food, his expression changed. What is the purpose of this man by saying this? Is it really for his own sake, or do he want to provoke a conflict between himself and the Xie family? But he is a member of the Xie family, even if it is a side branch, the Xie family really provokes officials and does not have any benefit from him. Or does he have another purpose?

To be honest, after getting along these days, Lu Zhen is quite satisfied with Xie Yao's ability to do things. This is a good helper who responds quickly and does things safely. As long as it is the official work that he commands, he can do it properly, and there is almost no mistake. And he doesn't talk much, and he has the ability to see.

Originally, Lu Zhen was still thinking about when to help him say a word so that he could make progress in the government. But now these words made Lu Jin feel something different about this person, is he really doing things for himself so diligently just for this errand, or does he have other plans? Will he thank his family's identity, will he make some other moves?

This question, at least now, Lu Jin can't see it, but it is enough for him to pay more attention.

If Xie Yao's warning only made Lu Jin feel a little confused, then the other person's warning made Lu Jin's whole heart rise.

It was half a month later one evening. Lu Zhen returned to the courtyard he rented in a low-key manner as some time ago, and Qinggele, who came back with him, suddenly became very vigilant, and his hands were on the saber at his waist.

Lin Lie on the other side also immediately took a step back and blocked behind Lu Jin, in case any attack came from behind. At the same time, the eyes of the two fell to the corner deep in the alley.

When Lu Jin's eyes followed them, he saw several gray-clothed men standing there. Although they are separated by a distance, the fierce smell emanating from these people cannot be hidden.

"Could it be that the Xie family really dares to send some assassin to attack me?" Lu Jin thought unconsciously with some fright, and his hands clenched into fists, ready to show his life-saving skills at any time.

But soon, his tense nerves relaxed again: "Qingler don't have to be nervous, they are not enemies!" Lin Lie, who was behind him, had also removed his hand from his waist at this time, because they had already seen a familiar figure coming out of the gray-clothed man - Yang Zhen!

More than a year ago, when Lu Zhen came to the capital, he almost killed Wang Zhen because he broke his arrangement. At that time, fortunately, this brocade guard Baihu arrived in time to save his life, and was taken to meet Hu Hu. Then, this brocade guard left Beijing overnight and came to Jiangnan to take up a post.

Lu Zhen didn't expect that he would meet the other party again at this time, and it seemed that Yang Zhen was deliberately waiting for him here.

"Yang Baihu, after a long time, are you okay?" Seeing the other party coming, Lu Zhen greeted him with a smile.

However, Yang Zhen's face did not have much joy of reuniting with the old people, but he grinned a little reluctantly: "Lu Tongju, we meet again." You've been in the limelight in Hangzhou lately. ”

"I'm ashamed to make you laugh." Lu Jin's smile also became a little reluctant. Fortunately, the other party did not dwell on this matter, and quickly got straight to the point: "Some time ago, Mr. Hu wrote to me and asked me to take care of it more. ”

"Mr. bothered, Lu Zhen is grateful." When Lu Zhen heard this, he was a little moved. Unexpectedly, Hu Hu made such an arrangement for himself, and he was indeed quite concerned about himself. Indeed, with the people of the brocade guards taking care of them, they will be much safer.

When Hu Hu was mentioned, Yang Zhen, who was originally a little cold and hard, also loosened a little. But then, he said solemnly: "There is nothing to do, after all, you are an official of the imperial court, and no one will touch you casually." However, just last month, I got the news that Ma Shun had actually been to Nanjing and had secret meetings with some people. ”

Lu Jin's expression has also changed, and now Ma Shun has replaced Xu Gong as the commander of Jinyiwei, and it is not a trivial matter for him to go to Nanjing. And if you really want to deal with yourself, your situation will be dangerous.

"One of them is Wu Miao, the eunuch who is now in Hangzhou, and after he returned to Hangzhou, he met with the same knowledge of your government office. My people have only heard your name mentioned a few times in their secret conversations, apparently with some conspiracy against you. Yang Zhen looked at Lu Zhen with a serious expression and said, "But what it is, I don't know yet, but you have to be careful." ”

"Wu Miao took Ma Shun's idea and wanted to use Xuan Zheng to attack me?" Lu Jin was stunned for a moment before he said slowly. Then, his expression became very solemn, if this was true, his situation would be very bad.

But soon, he recovered again: "Thank you Yang Baihu for coming to warn, keep it in mind." He bowed deeply.

At the time of the ceremony, Lu Jin's eyes already shone brightly, since someone wants to be unfavorable to himself, there is no need to keep a low profile.
