Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and Lu Mingbi wrote poems, and after three-quarters of an hour, Ma Xiaoquan had written 37 poems by Li Qinghan, while Lu Ming had only written 22 poems

++++++++++++++++ moment soon arrived, Lu Zhan looked at Lu Ming, who was sweating profusely, and reluctantly announced that the time was up.

The results of the competition are obvious, Ma Xiaoquan has 37 songs, Lu Ming has 25 songs, and the difference between the two is 12 songs.

Lu Mingtie stood up with a blushing face and stared at Ma Xiaoquan deadly.

Ma Xiaoquan shook the rice paper in his hand and looked at Lu Ming proudly.

Lu Zhan sighed and said, "Ming'er, I am willing to lose the bet, come on~"

Lu Ming glanced at his grandfather miserably, walked up to Ma Xiaoquan, flicked his sleeves twice, and prepared to kneel.

Ma Xiaoquan stopped Lu Ming.

Lu Zhan was overjoyed in his heart, and said in his heart Ma Xiaoquan, this kid is still a good acquaintance, otherwise my Lu family would really be embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Old man Lu, even if you kneel down or something, I'm just taking a gamble, if I really want Lu Ming to call me grandpa, I'm afraid Lu Ming has the heart to die" Ma Xiaoquan glanced at Li Qinghan, saw that his sister-in-law nodded approvingly to himself, and continued, "However, if you lose, you will lose, since you kneel and call grandpa, you can spare it, but on the other hand, your Lu family has to make up for my Ma family!" ”

Lu Zhan frowned: "It's easy to say, my Lu family is not a Laipi person!" You say, what do you want? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Old man Lu, I heard that you recently got a batch of special rouge from Dongying, I think it's good to give it to my sister-in-law~"

Lu Zhan laughed: "I'll say something, okay, this matter is so decided, rouge for you!" ”

Li Qinghan looked at Ma Xiaoquan in surprise, she didn't expect that Ma Xiaoquan won the bet in order to win rouge for her.

"There's one more thing~" Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile.

"Anything else?" Lu Zhan was a little unhappy.

"Actually, this matter is simple and very simple, please ask Old Man Lu to tell Fang Shoufu, and say that it is actually the wisest choice to tell the old man and return to his hometown!"

After Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, he picked up the poems written by Li Qinghan before, burned them to ashes one by one in front of the candles, and then took Li Qinghan's hand, laughed and walked out of the main hall of the Lu family.

Walking to the door, Lu Zhan stopped Ma Xiaoquan and instructed his subordinates to stuff Dongying's rouge to Ma Xiaoquan.

"The head of the family said, if you lose, you can afford to lose, rouge will be given to you, Fourth Young Master Ma, don't send it!"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted coldly, laughed and handed the rouge to Li Qinghan.

Out of the gate of the Lu family, Li Qinghan finally couldn't help it, grabbed Ma Xiaoquan and asked, "Who are you, why do you know poetry?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp and said, "Of course I am your brother-in-law, can I become a fairy?" ”

As the saying goes, people are short-handed, if Ma Xiaoquan's words were put forward, it is estimated that Li Qinghan would have taught him a lesson, but holding the Dongying rouge that Ma Xiaoquan stuffed to her, Li Qinghan said softly: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are not honest~~"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Sister-in-law, you don't have a loss, come with me, I've done something, you also got rouge, let's win, haha"

Li Qinghan pursed his lips: "Ma Xiaoquan, in fact, the purpose of your coming to the Lu family this time is to say the last sentence, right?" ”

"I can't hide anything from my sister-in-law~ Haha, okay, don't say it, let's go home and report the good news to grandma~"

Li Qinghan hummed, and followed Ma Xiaoquan into the sedan chair one after the other

Not long after the two left, a subordinate of the Lu family slipped out of the side door, and on the side door, a beggar squatted on the ground, listlessly staring at the broken bowl in front of him.

The subordinates of the Lu family looked around for a while, and made sure that there was no one else, so they opened their mouths and whispered: "The four sons of the Ma family have been here, and they won Lu Ming, and the Ma family did not form an alliance with the Zhejiang Party" After the person finished speaking, he looked around again, and then went back to the Lu family.

The beggar at the door did not move the whole time, and when the side door was closed, the beggar stood up weakly, stretched his waist, picked up the broken bowl in front of him, and walked slowly forward

On August 29, the 48th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Qianqing Palace, in the room of Emperor Taichang.

Zhu Changluo weakly kneaded the ru~~ room of a beautiful woman beside him, and asked: "I feel that I am not in good health, you go, call Fang Congzhe and the others to me"

The beauty nodded, quickly put on her clothes, and dictated the emperor's words to a eunuch outside the door.

After a while, Fang Congzhe and other important ministers came, and when they saw Zhu Changluo's earthy face, Fang Congzhe and the others were all shocked.

Zhu Changluo glanced at Fang Congzhe and the others, and said slowly: "I feel that my life is short, and I need to do my best to assist the eldest son of the emperor (crown prince Zhu Youxiao) and assist him as a monarch like Yao and Shun."

Fang Congzhe shook his head and said, "The emperor has no borders, why did he say such depressing words?" ”

Zhu Changluo gritted his teeth, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Fang Congzhe: "Is there a tribute from Honglu Temple?" ”

Fang Congzhe replied: "Li Kezhuo, the Cheng of Honglu Temple, claims to have an elixir, but Weichen doesn't dare to believe it. ”

Zhu Changluo's original breath was wilting, and as soon as he heard the "elixir", he immediately opened his eyes wide and ordered someone to summon Li Kezhuo.

Fang Congzhe and the others had no choice but to retreat outside the palace and wait.

At this time, Mrs. Ma led Ma Xiaoquan to come, and when she saw Fang Congzhe and others waiting outside the palace, she asked suspiciously: "Lord Shoufu, why don't you go in?" ”

Fang Congzhe glanced at Mrs. Ma, then at Ma Xiaoquan, shook his head and said, "The emperor urgently summoned Li Kezhuo to offer any elixir."

"What? Elixir? Mrs. Ma looked at Ma Xiaoquan nervously.

Ma Xiaoquan patted Mrs. Ma's hand and whispered, "Grandma don't panic, this matter has nothing to do with my Ma family." ”

Fang Congzhe looked at Ma Xiaoquan, leaned over and whispered: "You are the fourth son of the Ma family, well, Lu Zhan brought me your words~"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, looked at Fang Congzhe, and was just about to speak, when he saw a person hurriedly coming over.

Fang Congzhe frowned: "Li Kezhuo is here." ”

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to look, and a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe hurriedly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Fang Congzhe and the others, and entered the Qianqing Palace.

Fang Congzhe and the others followed behind Li Kezhuo and entered the Qianqing Palace together.

When Zhu Changluo saw that Li Kezhuo was coming, he hurriedly removed his hand from the ru~~ room of the beautiful woman, and sat up with a few eunuchs.

"Li Aiqing, you're here, I heard that you have an elixir?"
