Volume 4 Returning and Coming Forty, you pretend and I pretend

Lian Chang Gongzi immediately bridged the head, watched a carriage and five people cross the bridge on horseback, and deliberately talked loudly with the left and right entourage about the beauty of Lushan in summer, in order to attract Zhou Xuan's attention, he Lian Chang Gongzi is so handsome and extraordinary, Zhou Xuan can't have no impression of him at all, as long as he meets his eyes, he can talk to each other, but he didn't expect Zhou Xuan to only talk to Lin Dai's daughter, and he didn't look at him. (Eye to the book)

  Seeing the carriage and horses driving over, Gongzi Lian Chang was anxious and took the initiative to beckon: "Isn't this Mrs. Xuanzhou Shikuining?" Ah, Zhou Gongzi is also here, fortunately. ”

  Zhou Xuan turned around, pretended to notice, and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Gongzi Lianchang, how could Gongzi Lianchang be in Jiangzhou?" ”

  Lian Chang Gongzi was in a hurry, and didn't want to beat around the bush, so he dismounted and said deeply: "The world-famous Zhou Qicha and Zhou Scholar, it is so hard to hide it, since Xuanzhou Xichun Poetry Club lost to Zhou Scholar, to be honest, he was very depressed at first, and then learned that it was Zhou Scholar, so he was convinced, Zhou Scholar Seven Forks Hands into a poetic talent, how dare you look at the back of the neck, so that the scholar learned that this time he came to Lushan with friends, but he didn't expect to meet with the scholar, it was a fortunate thing. ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Xinzhou is my hometown, Jiangzhou is my hometown, it's too normal for Gongzi Lianchang to meet me here, I have something to do now, I can't double it, say goodbye." ”

  Lian Chang Gongzi hurriedly said: "The university scholar stays, admires the talent of the bachelor, intends to ask for poetry, and invites the university scholar to drink tea and discuss poetry in the Zhaoyin Teahouse in Zhuque Fang in the afternoon, and Wanwang Hou Ye appreciates his face." ”

  Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "That's good, I'll see you in the building at three moments." "Say goodbye and go to the west gate.

  Lin Hanyun looked back and saw that Lian Changgongzi was far away, and then asked, "Brother Zhou Xuan." Is this person Xiahou Tassel and his gang, what is he here for? ”

  Zhou Xuan said: "Naturally, he is begging me for something, haha, it's really difficult for him to chase him here from Xuanzhou." ”

  Lin Hanyun said: "Brother Zhou Xuan, what are you going to do with Xiahou tassels, just keep deceiving them?" I said, why is she so stupid? If it were me. I've already seen through your schemes. ”

  Zhou Xuanxin said: "You are more stupid. Said: "You can cheat as long as you can, it's fun." ”

  Lin Hanyun glared at Zhou Xuan and said: "What's fun, it won't be the final fake show." You really married Xiahou Tassel as a concubine, right? ”

  Zhou Xuan smiled and did not answer, thinking that when the crown prince Li Jian came to Jiangzhou, he would discuss it well, and then use the severance of trade with Qingyuan to hold Qingyuan hostage, while strengthening the armament of Jianjian and Ting Prefectures, and sending troops to pacify Qingyuan if necessary.

  Zhou Xuan sent the Lin sisters home. talked to Lin Dai about Qingyuan. Lin Dai knew that Li Jian was not as good as Li Yu, and he wanted to make a difference, with Zhou Xuan's assistance, he would definitely not favor Jiangnan, and it would be a matter of time before he solved the Qingyuan secession, so he immediately actively planned ^H to get up, if he really wanted to use troops, Fenghua could transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses to the south.

  Zhou Xuan returned to the mansion and went directly to the fifth entrance to see Xiahou Tassel. Ask her how she can get used to it? Xiahou Tassel was in a complicated mood, and his eyelashes lowered and said: "Tassel lives very well here, thank you Gongzi for your concern." ”

  Zhou Xuan sat on the bamboo chair and asked, "Does the tassel know who I met outside the West Gate today?" ”

  "Who?" Xiahou Tassel knew that it was Lian Chang Gongzi, and he was nervous in his heart.

  "Guess what?"

  "Tassel can't guess. Childe, please speak up. ”

  Zhou Xuan took one of Xiahou tassels' hands and stroked them gently. Seeing this female spy, her face was red and her body trembled slightly, she was very sensitive. smiled and said: "That person was also your admirer, that is, the son of Lianchang in Xuanzhou, how is the relationship between tassels and the son of Lianchang?" ”

  Xiahou Tassel panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Although Tassel has had dealings with Lianchang Gongzi in Xuanzhou, it is limited to playing the piano and writing poems, and nothing else-"

  Zhou Xuan knew that Xiahou Tassel was still inferior to the lack of red in the early night, so he laughed, hugged her waist and sat on his lap: "Tassel doesn't have to explain, I trust you, you are a lotus flower out of the sludge without staining the ground, and you have the fragrance of lotus flowers on your body." ”

  "Childe-", after receiving such praise, Xiahou Tassel was so happy that he was about to cry, lying on Zhou Xuan's shoulder with tears in his eyes, and finally resisted the urge to tell his true identity.

  Zhou Xuan said: "Prince Lian Chang asked me to go to the teahouse to drink tea, and the tassel will accompany me." ”

  Xiahou Tassel wanted to say no, but then said, "Okay, Tassel will accompany Gongzi." In less than three moments, Zhou Xuan took the three idiots and Xiahou tassels to the "Zhaoyin Teahouse" not far from Zhou's house, this teahouse is quite famous in Jiangzhou, the tea is Lushan Yunwu tea, water is Lushan Zhaoyin spring water all year round, and five porters are hired to and from Lushan to pick up spring water every day.

  Lian Chang Gongzi and his two entourages waited early, and when they saw Zhou Xuan coming with Xiahou tassels, they were secretly shocked, and when they saw that Xiahou tassels were not different, they were relieved, and said with a smile: "On the day that Scholar Zhou left Xuanzhou, there were rumors about the disappearance of the Oiran tassel girl. ”

  Zhou Xuan and Lian Chang Gongzi sat down in the upstairs elegant room, and the other four stood behind them, and the owner of the teahouse personally came to pour tea, flattering: "Zhou Hou Ye came to our shop to drink tea, it is the honor of our shop, Zhou Hou Ye has spread all over Jiangzhou about the tea fight, which makes people talk about it, the little old man's tea art is sparse, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to enter the eyes of Hou Ye." ”

  Zhou Xuan knew that this was spread by the more than forty government soldiers under General Qi, and said with a smile: "You have good tea and water here, I like it very much, please serve tea." ”

  The shopkeeper took a set of new tea sets that had never been used, and according to Zhou Xuan's instructions, he used the hidden spring water of the second boiling trick to make cloud tea, instead of the common tea brewing method of the Tang people, the shopkeeper kept Zhou Xuan's words in mind, and then promoted this tea tasting method in the name of Zhou Houye, which soon became popular throughout Jiangzhou.

  Zhou Xuan asked the three idiots and Xiahou tassels to sit down and drink tea together, but even Chang Gongzi did not mean to ask the two entourages to drink together.

  Zhou Xuan opened his mouth and said: "I heard that Gongzi Lian Chang is a Qingyuan clan? ”

  Gongzi Lian Chang was stunned, who said this, Xiahou Tassel said? At this time, he was not allowed to think too much, and replied: "Yes, Lian Chang moved from Quanzhou to Xuanzhou three years ago. ”

  Zhou Xuan nodded and said: "It is a wise move for Prince Lian Chang to move to Xuanzhou, and the situation in Qingyuan is quite unstable. "Stop at the point, don't say more, and enjoy tea leisurely.

  How could Gongzi Lian Chang have the heart to drink tea, and said: "Master Hou's words are a little incomprehensible, the sixteen counties of Qingyuan Erzhou have also been peaceful for forty years, what is the instability?" ”

  Zhou Xuan said perfunctorily: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just saying it." ”

  On the side, Xiahou Tassel frowned slightly, and thought: "The matter has come to this, what kind of dumb riddle is Gongzi Lian Chang playing, just say that Chen Si'an is your brother-in-law, and then talk openly and honestly!" ”

  Lian Changgongzi has been a spy leader in the Tang Kingdom for three years, and he has been used to concealing his true identity, the truth is not clear at this time, of course he doesn't want to say that he is Chen Si'an's brother-in-law, and said: "Master Hou, there are family members in Quanzhou, if there is any instability in Quanzhou, I will first go to get the family members and leave Quanzhou, please teach me Master Hou." ”

  Zhou Xuanxin said: "You can pretend, and I will pretend with you, anyway, Li Jian hasn't come yet." said: "Even Chang Gongzi doesn't have to panic, I just heard about it a little, maybe it's a fictitious thing, and it is taboo to talk about mundane things, and talk about poetry." ”

  Gongzi Lian Chang had no choice, so he had to chant a newly filled word to ask Zhou Xuan for advice, and after sitting for half an hour, Zhou Xuan got up and said: "Today's tea and poetry are fun, so say goodbye." ”

  When Gongzi Lian Chang was about to say something more, Zhou Xuan arched his hand, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and went back to the house with the three idiots and Xiahou tassels.

  Gongzi Lian Chang had no choice but to live in Jiangzhou, wanting to see Zhou Xuan again, but he had no chance, so he said in his heart: "Then let's wait for Li Jian to come to Jiangzhou." ”

  On May 26, Chen Si'an's messenger rushed to Jiangzhou to see Lian Chang's son, Chen Si'an, in the letter, told Lian Chang's son to find a way to promote Zhou Xuan's southward journey, he wanted to meet Zhou Xuan in person, temporarily make a false and wronged snake, let the policy of blocking the exchange of goods and colonies be delayed for a year and a half, Qingyuan is preparing to join forces with Wu Yue, Wu Yue attacked Xinzhou and Shezhou, Qingyuan sent troops to capture Jian, Ting Erzhou, these two states are the people of the old Fujian State, as long as they are well appeased, it is not difficult to gain a foothold.

  Lian Changgongzi thought about it, he was very troubled, he wanted Zhou Xuan to go south to Jianzhou, he had to show his true identity, otherwise Zhou Xuan would not listen to what he said, and the problem now is that he has met Zhou Xuan once, and he has always concealed his identity, and now if he says it, it is difficult to ensure that Zhou Xuan is not suspicious, and maybe he will be arrested! What to do? I have to find a chance to ask Xiahou Tassel if there is a way? Zhou Xuan seemed to be quite fond of Xiahou tassels.

  Lian Chang Gongzi didn't know what it was, his residence had already been monitored by Lin Dai and Zhou Xuan after a secret discussion, and Lian Chang Gongzi saw that Qingyuan's secret envoy also quickly reported to Zhou Xuan and Lin Dai, and the secret envoy was arrested when he left the south gate of Jiangzhou that evening, and was taken to the Duhu Mansion for secret interrogation, and Lian Chang Gongzi replied to the letter.

  Lin Dai was furious when he read it, and urgently ordered someone to invite Zhou Xuan to discuss.
