One. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Guanyin willows and begonias in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion are growing better than the other, and my brows are getting tighter and tighter day by day. On a rare rest day, I nested in the study for a day, and discussed the reception with the third brother who rarely returned home for a whole day.

The third brother moved out of the prime minister's mansion after getting married, but he couldn't live in the inner city anymore, I was busy on weekdays, and rarely went to see the third brother.

"You have to remember that the highest-ranking of the mission to Chenguo this time is Lu Ying, the Marquis of Siwu who was awarded the title of Luzhou, this Lu Ying is not a few years older than you, and he only inherited the throne three years ago." Third Brother Road. When I heard this, I couldn't help but interject: "Then he hasn't been a Hou Ye for a long time." The third brother nodded and said, "That's right, but the He family's situation is special and cannot be generalized; And according to the intelligence of the Hades team, Lu Houye still has some kung fu on his body, and he sat in the northern frontier of the country at the age of twenty, and no one dared to commit it, so he was a ruthless character. ”

The third brother handed me a portrait drawn by the Hades team, and I took a closer look, although this Lu Ying is not as good as Du Duzhen, but the heroism between the eyebrows is not comparable to Du Duzhen. However, I heard the third brother say that he is a marquis on the edge of the town, and it may be good to fight, but it is not necessarily at the negotiation table, because I don't think he is the person I have to worry about, so it's a big deal to throw him to He Yunsheng to deal with.

"And then there is the prime minister of the country, Xia Naiqing." The third brother handed over another portrait, "He succeeded to the prime minister at the age of twenty-five, and has been in this position for twenty years. I heard that he also has a bad temper, and often scolds other officials in the court, but he is indeed very capable, and he has experienced the Yin Si War, and in the past twenty years, no one can shake him. ”

When I heard the deeds of this prime minister of the same status as me, who was twice as old as me, and who was very fierce when he looked at the portrait, he sighed: "No wonder the people are open and warlike, you can see this prime minister, who is like a martial artist." ”

"Yes, I look at your body, I'm really afraid that you will be shocked by him at the negotiation table." The third brother smiled, "But don't be pressured on you, I and the other five Shangshu adults will be with you at that time." ”

I frowned: "I know that the foreign tariffs of the country are frighteningly high, and the country of Chen is also in the way of the former covenant, but it is also far higher than the tariffs of other countries and the country of Chen, which is enough to see the toughness of the people of the country, I am not afraid of what he will do to me, I am afraid that in the end our tariffs will be lowered, and people's tariffs will rise, and the people of our country will suffer." ”

The third brother patted me and continued: "In addition, Yuan Zhiping, the head of the household, is a relatively high-level person who came from Siguo, and I will not list the others such as the accompanying imperial doctor, and the inn has also been found, so I will find someone to arrange it when the time comes." ”

"The Imperial Doctor is also with you? How many people don't believe in us? I said, "The medical skills of the Chen Kingdom are still famous among the Twelve Kingdoms. ”

"It is indispensable to guard against people, ninth brother, you have to be careful and careful outside." The third brother didn't seem surprised by their behavior, "To be honest, I don't think Chen Lixia is very credible, if there is any medicine, you still ask Yuji, or ask your sister-in-law to take it again." ”

"Third brother, I'm not a child anymore." I pouted, "You talk to the fifth brother about these words, he also drank all the medicine that Sun Yuji prepared for me before, I had a headache for a day, and he also had a stomach trouble for a day." ”

"Alas, Old Five." The third brother mentioned the fifth brother and sighed, "What can I do in the future?" ”

I mentioned that the fifth brother just wanted to divert the attention of the third brother and block the third brother's nagging to me, but I never thought that the third brother remembered that the fifth brother was stupid and was celibate so far, and I was secretly sad, I hurriedly said: "Third brother, they should go to Wucheng tomorrow, and the most important thing at the moment is to receive them well." ”

"Yes." The third brother nodded, "You have a good rest today, and we will go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to pick up these guests from friendly countries." ”

Early the next morning.

I woke up early, my mind was a mess, and I was in a daze, and by the time I reacted, I was already standing at the city gate with my third brother. In a short time, the legation of the country came in a huge way.

There was a person sitting on a horse and walking in the front, and I knew at a glance that it was Lu Ying, who was not like a military uniform on the portrait, but he could not hide his heroic spirit. The carriages behind one after another, the line is really not short.

When Lu Ying saw us and dismounted, the third brother immediately said, "Master Lu, the carriage and horses are tired, and it has been hard." ”

Lu Ying glanced at the third brother and asked, "Are you Zhou... Prime minister? ”

"Minister Zhou Yuqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Chenguo, this is the prime minister of my Chenguo." The third brother saluted him and continued.

Lu Ying raised her eyebrows and looked me up and down: "Very young." I smiled at him: "Lu Hou Ye is too." Lu Ying stretched out his hand: "I didn't expect to be the prime minister of Chenguo at such a young age, which really makes me ashamed." "I remember that Lu Ying is a person who has martial arts, and he refused to stretch out his hand to shake hands with him, but out of etiquette, I still smiled and stretched out my hand.

…… Pain!

I secretly gritted my teeth in my heart, endured it until the roots of my teeth hurt, and the smile froze on my face, and said, "Master Hou... After a long journey, rest first... bar. ”

Lu Ying let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Xiangye is young, but he is very generous. ”

Saying that the carriage behind him got down Xia Naiqing, I was really worried that Xia Naiqing would give me such a hand for a while, and I was already bitter in my heart. Shaking hands one by one, my right hand was already numb with pain, not to mention the expression on my face, it was always fixed in a fake smile without change, and it was easy to shake all the hands, and the third brother took them to the inn.

I never thought that after Lu Ying arrived at the inn, she felt that the conditions were not good and didn't want to live.

God, this is a guest village specially for other countries' missions, the missions who have come to stay have said that the service is in place, the food is delicious, the building is designed by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Engineering is personally operated, I and the third brother glanced at each other, thinking that this was probably Lu Ying's deliberate embarrassment, but I didn't expect the test to come so quickly.

"How can the people who lead the troops on the battlefield of Hou Ye be so delicate." Xu Yinlei couldn't help but say.

Lu Ying glanced at Xu Yinlei and said lazily: "Ben Hou is not accustomed to the soil when he arrives in a foreign country, how about it?" ”

I immediately thought that if Lu Ying refused to stay in the inn, it would not be impossible to find a mansion in the inner city for him to live in, but it was very difficult to choose this person. King Ping has a lot of brothers and sisters, but they are all relatives of the emperor, and their temperament is inevitably arrogant, and they are afraid that they will disagree with Lu Ying, so they will fight each other; If Lu Ying is allowed to live in He Yunsheng's mansion, with He Yunsheng's temperament, he will definitely fight with Lu Ying, and He Yunsheng must have defeated Lu Ying, this is not good. Thinking about it, it's still the best in my house.

"If Marquis Lu doesn't dislike it, go to my house to live."

As soon as I said this, the six Shangshu all threw surprised glances at me, and Xia Naiqing over there couldn't help but look at me.

"I heard that Lu Houye's father was named Luzhou, and he was named Wuhou, and he built a mansion in Luzhou, and the domineering and majestic style of Si Guo has been popular in recent years, although this Xiangfu is not as good as Lufu, but the Zhou family has built a mansion in the inner city of Wucheng since the founding of the Chen Kingdom, and the Xiangfu that has precipitated for hundreds of years will make Lu Houye satisfied." I said with a smile.

Lu Ying was speechless for a while, and was stunned for a while and said, "Then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is Minister Lao." ”

"I'll send someone back to clean up, and before that, I'll accompany Master Hou to take a tour of Wucheng." I said and glanced at Qiu Ming, Qiu Ming immediately took the order and left, and the third brother said at this time: "Please Prime Minister Xia and all the adults go in and rest." Then he nodded at me and led them in.

So I took Lu Ying to visit Wucheng with Xu Yinlei, Ye Shuluo, and Tang Xuelai, accompanied by some girls and little girls who took care of Lu Ying, and the group walked on the road It was also spectacular, but there were many people who came out to have fun when we were children of the family, and they didn't care.

Since Dongcheng Lane was under construction, we started from Xiqiao Street and passed by the tavern of Du Duan's house. Du Duanan was sitting at the door of the tavern playing chess with Feng Ge, and when he saw me, he wanted to say hello, but after seeing me followed by an unknown person and three Shangshu, he got up and saluted me: "The grass people greet the prime minister." ”

It was the first time for this old fox to make such a big gift to me, and I wanted to laugh in my heart, but I had to hold back on the surface, and said seriously: "Get up." ”

Lu Ying raised his eyebrows and said: "Xiang Ye is such a big official, a tavern owner, can actually know Xiang Ye's true face?" ”

"My family pays tribute to the palace every year, and the wine used in the longevity festival of the country is also brewed by my family." Du Duan's anvil snorted coldly, and the words he said were so high-profile and not like his character, I thought of Du Duan's anvil, a member of the Hades team, didn't he know what Lu Ying looked like? Thinking that he wanted to kill Lu Ying's prestige, he felt even more as if it was serious, and pretended to be serious: "How can you speak, this is Marquis Lu Wu." Then he smiled at Lu Ying and said, "Hou Ye Lu, this kid's surname is Du, his family is the descendant of the famous wine ancestor Du Kang, Yu Shun Du's family, famous for making wine all over the world, this kid is also a child of the family, he is used to it, Hou Ye don't worry about him in general." ”

Lu Ying was still taken aback when he heard that Du Duan was a member of the Yu Shun Du clan, and remembered that it was true that the Du family's wine was famous all over the world, and half of the taverns in the country sold the Du family's wine, but this person still made him very unhappy when he contradicted him.

"It turned out to be Marquis Lu, and the grass people don't know." Du Duanqing immediately humbly apologized to Lu Ying, "Xiang Ye is the most humble and temperamental, even to the children of the family is also soft-spoken, I look at this master arrogantly, disrespectful to Xiang Ye between words, and think he is a family gentleman of which country... Gentlemen, they don't know the number of etiquette, so they are out of the mouth, and the grass people deserve death! ”

Du Duan's words came out, I saw that Feng Ge was already holding back his internal injuries, and I couldn't help myself not to laugh, and secretly went to look at Lu Ying's face, his face couldn't be more stinky, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Lu Hou has a lot, so naturally I won't worry about you, but I don't follow, go back and tell your father, and ask him to discipline you well." ”

Ye Shuluo saw the opportunity and said, "Xiangye, Houye, let's continue shopping, don't be in a bad mood." ”

Lu Ying snorted and walked forward, and his entourage immediately followed him, Xu Yinlei and Tang Xue came to see me, and they were also full of smiles, and they also followed. Ye Shuluo and I walked at the end, turned around and smiled at Du Duan, Du Duan's anvil winked at me, Feng Ge was already smiling crookedly.

"Why are you so bad?" I whispered to Du Duan.

Du Duan took the jar of wine and handed it over: "Go ahead, kill his sharp spirit today, and he won't embarrass you." ”

Ye Shuluo took the wine and said with a smile: "I won't mess with anyone in the future." ”

"You have a good drink with him today, and it's over when you call the girl from Midnight Tower to sing a song, Lu Ying's heart has no city mansion, and it is Xia Naiqing who is difficult to do." Du Duan's anvil seemed to have the intention not to let Feng Ge hear it, "Always pay attention to the horse's feet exposed by Han Fu's side." ”

Ye Shuluo and I nodded, turned around to keep up with the large army, walked to the front, and said to Lu Ying: "Master Lu, I brought the altar of cold spring wine, you dissipate your anger, let's go back to the house today and have a good drink." ”

Lu Ying snorted from his nose, I knew that his face was tense, and his heart had already succumbed to the wine.
