As soon as the curtain was lifted, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walked in, it was Lu Ruolan.

Today, she is dressed in a lotus leaf skirt, her hair is combed and she looks around the fairy mustache, her feet are on a pair of light green cloud shoes, her bright teeth and bright eyes are slightly powdered, and she is naturally beautiful and not hairpin. Qiao Shengsheng does not let out the water hibiscus, and the beauty is like an empty valley orchid.

Anyone who sees it has to be praised, what a stunning beauty who captivates the country and the city!

But it couldn't have come at a better time......

Cui Geng screamed bitterly in his heart, and blurted out: "Little lady Lu, why are you here?" ”

This was asked to Lu Ruolan openly, but secretly it was said to Cao Yuechan, and the implication was to say, hey, we are not so familiar with each other, why are you not invited? That's it, why didn't you enter the county government without going through the ceremony?

However, Lu Ruolan didn't seem to hear it, and asked calmly: "Cui County Order, this person next to you is the shopkeeper of Jufenglong, right?" ”

Without waiting for Cui Geng to respond to her, Cao Yuechan took the initiative to greet her: "Yes, the concubine is Cao Yuechan who gathers Fenglong, and she is also Erlang's fiancée." Erlang, what are you doing stupidly? Why don't you introduce the concubine body quickly, what kind of little lady is this guest? It's so beautiful and lovely. ”

Cao Yuechan seemed to smell a hint of danger from Lu Ruolan, and her face was faintly vigilant.

"She is Zou Fang's niece and daughter Lu Ruolan. Zou Fang is ......"

"The richest man in the world, I've heard of it." Cao Yuechan sighed lightly again, and looked at Lu Ruolan again, "I don't know what happened when the little lady of the Lu family suddenly visited my family?" ”

After several conversations, it can be seen that Cao Yuechan is deliberate, obviously understated, but actually aggressive, as if she is declaring Cui Geng's sovereignty to Lu Ruolan.

However, Lu Ruolan was not in a hurry, but a light smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Your Erlang? Fiancee? You and Cui Xianling have the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker? Or is there a matchmaking book? As far as I know, the shopkeeper of Jufenglong Cao is not as frivolous as you, are you the Cao Yuechan of Jufenglong? ”

"Are you ......" Cao Yuechan was asked by her for a while, after all, the other party said that these are the facts, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, secretly warn herself not to be irritable, and said: "It doesn't matter whether there is or not." Whether I'm here or not, Erlang is here, you ask him! ”

Lu Ruolan snorted and said, "Shopkeeper Cao, it's really important whether you have it or not. Marriage without a matchmaker is indecent. Even if the Cui County Order admits it, you are only an unmarried concubine at best. ”

Cao Yuechan is a closed female disciple of the great Confucian Tong Benshan, how could she not understand the meaning of the phrase "marrying without coal, indecent manners", this sentence "marrying without a matchmaker, indecent manners" is used. The original word of this sentence is "matchless"!

If Lu Ruolan leads to Taishi Gong's sentence "If a woman marries without a matchmaker, she is not my species, and she will filthy my world!" ”

As soon as Lu Ruolan said this, the current real situation between her and Cui Geng was all over you, and she could only hide her face and leave, otherwise it would be a shame to stay here.

Obviously, if you continue to quarrel with Lu Ruolan on the sovereignty issue of Cui Geng and continue to argue at the moment, you will not be able to take advantage of it, and you will have to suffer a loss.

So, she had to bite the bullet, endure the evil breath in her heart, and change the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about Erlang." I heard Lu Niangzi say just now that once all the money houses under the name of the temple property of Southern Zen Buddhism are merged into Jufenglong, it is not a good thing. What does that mean? ”

Lu Ruolan said: "What, Shopkeeper Cao doesn't believe it? Then let me ask you, not to mention Southern Zen Buddhism, if the money village of Northern Zen Buddhism asks to join Jufenglong collectively, do you dare to accept it? ”

This is to the point, the Northern Zen sect is huge, and the monk Shenxiu is a national teacher, and he is deeply respected by the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once all the money villages under the name of the temple of Northern Zen Buddhism have joined Jufenglong, it is difficult to say whether this money village should be surnamed Cao or Buddha.

In the same way, although the lineage of Southern Zen Buddhism is not as prominent as Northern Zen Buddhism, the sum of the money under its name is roughly equal to 30% of the Fenglong Silver Horn. Once they join, there is also a risk that Jufenglong will change its name.

Cao Yuechan's expression was slightly dark, but she still shook her head and argued: "Southern Zen Buddhism is not as good as Northern Zen Buddhism, especially in the official face, and it cannot be compared with Northern Zen Buddhism. Not to mention ......"

"What's more, there is also the Northern Zen Sect eyeing it?" Lu Ruolan said, "This is not accurate. Although the two sects of the north and the south are opposed to each other, they are both in the same vein of Zen Buddhism, can't people reconcile? As for the official affairs, it is even more difficult to say, the monks of Southern Zen Buddhism are also able to speak the Tao, but do you know that they will not be favored by a nobleman and promoted? Don't forget, today's Your Majesty worships the Buddha and worships the Buddha, and there are prominent and powerful people who believe in Northern Zen Buddhism, and there are dignitaries and nobles who believe in Southern Zen Buddhism. It seems that Cao Xiaoniang is very tender about the officialdom of the court! ”

This Lu Ruolan is also a person who can't be ignored, and after analyzing the pros and cons for Cao Yuechan, she didn't forget to choke the other party.

Although Cao Yuechan is clever, it is indeed as Lu Ruolan said, she is not familiar with officialdom, and she is not good at the disadvantages of court politics, she is better at business, and she is not very good at the struggle between Southern Zen Buddhism and Northern Zen Buddhism, and even the dumping of officialdom.

After she was choked by Lu Ruolan, she had to be convinced by her analysis, but she didn't believe that Lu Ruolan was doing it for the good of Jufenglong. So she asked rhetorically: "I heard that the Zou family has a good relationship with the Northern Zen Sect, and the relationship between the little lady Lu and the Zou family can say this, the concubine really can't believe that you are thinking about me Jufenglong." What the hell do you mean? ”

Lu Ruolan said: "The opponent of Northern Zen Buddhism is both Jufenglong and Southern Zen. Once Southern Zen Buddhism is entered into the gathering of Fenglong, it is bound to monopolize the trading of money in various parts of the Great Zhou, which is of course not what Northern Zen Buddhism is willing to see, so I spoke out to dissuade it, after all, this is related to the interests of the Zou family. But what this girl said just now is also true, just because I am friendly with Cui Xianling, I also don't want his hard work to go to waste. Ju Fenglong was changed to his master and changed his surname! ”

As soon as Cao Yuechan and Lu Ruolan met today, they were tied to their hands and feet, and they were extremely depressed. Now that she heard this, she finally found an opportunity to fight back against Lu Ruolan, and immediately asked: "Lu Niangzi has a relationship with Northern Zen Buddhism, and she said that she is good friends with Erlang, so if the two families conflict, who will you help?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Ruolan did not hesitate at all, and said bluntly: "Of course, it is to help Cui County." ”

"Huh? Why is that? Cao Yuechan was surprised.

Lu Ruolan glanced at Cui Geng and said, "Because he saved the concubine." Cui County Order, don't you say? ”

"Huh? What the? ”

Cui Geng listened to it for so long, how could he not hear that these two aunts and grandmothers were full of gunpowder after repeated conversations? Where do you dare to mix with it and harm the pond fish?

He couldn't help but respond vaguely: "Hey, why bother with a gesture?" ”

"It's a gesture to Cui County's order, but it's a grace to the concubine." Lu Ruolan was slightly blessed and said sincerely.

Cao Yuechan became angry when she saw the tacit understanding between the two of them, snorted lightly, and said sourly: "Shouldn't I say that the grace of saving my life can not be repaid, so I can only promise it with my body?" ”

Lu Ruolan smiled indifferently and said: "It's not enough to promise each other, but it's ......"

"But how?" Cao Yuechan herself didn't know why she was a little nervous.

"In order to repay Cui County's order, the concubine is going to invite him to celebrate the festival together tomorrow." Lou Ruolan Road.

Shangsi Festival, for young men and women, is the "Love Festival"!

Cao Yuechan was really anxious when she heard this, and teased: "Little lady Lu is a big girl with yellow flowers, but she invites young men to celebrate the festival, and she doesn't know how to check it, right?" ”

Well, Cao Yuechan, who has always regarded Cui Geng as a spare tire, actually came to Lu Ruolan for the sake of Cui Geng's sovereignty.

"Not really." Lu Ruolan didn't care about the ginseng rooster, and said to herself: "Mo Chun, spring clothes are ready." There are five or six champions, six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, and returning with a song. The master sighed and said, "I and the dots!"

This is from the Analects, which translates into the vernacular, that is, the disciple's ambition is to go on a spring outing with good friends on the day of the Shangsi Festival, everyone takes a bath and makes poems, and then comes back singing songs. Confucius said, "Take me with you if you have this good deed."

Obviously, Lu Ruolan is saying, Cao Yuechan, you are really dirty, we are just pure friends.

Who knew that Cao Yuechan was also a woman who understood Confucianism, and said: "Hehe, people once told Sage Kong that the crown and the boy did not include the little girl!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Lu Ruolan didn't want Cao Yuechan to be literate and knowledgeable, and she was caught by the other party in a mistake, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said forcefully: "Now in Chang'an City, the most popular dress is to wear men's clothes." If this girl wears a hat, won't she become the crown? ”

The crown refers to the man who reads, but Lu Ruolan said that the crown is the person who wears a hat, which is obviously a crooked interpretation.

However, Cao Yuechan did not correct her mistakes this time, but stood up suddenly, slightly blessed, and said: "Lu Niangzi's words are reasonable, and the concubine has been taught." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Yuechan's next words ruthlessly took Lu Ruolan's army.

I only heard Cao Yuechan say to Cui Geng: "The spring outing of the Shangsi Festival is an elegant thing, and Confucius yearns for it." Case...... Why don't we both go together tomorrow? ”

"Didn't you say you're too busy......" Cui Geng swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not busy again!" Cao Yuechan's pretty face sank slightly.

Cui Geng knew the interest and quickly shut up.

As soon as she heard that Cao Yuechan also invited Cui Geng to travel on the Shangsi Festival tomorrow, Lu Ruolan over there was anxious and said, "Cui County Order, you have to talk about the first come, the first come, right?" The concubine body is the first to invite you. ”

"Hmph, Little Lady Lu, it looks like the concubine came here before you, right?" Cao Yuechan said.

Cui Geng saw that the two of them were pinching again, and his mind was really confused, and he asked weakly: "What, this official is busy with official business, can you not go?" ”

To tell the truth, if you promise one now, you will inevitably offend the other.

"Can't, can't!"

Lu Ruolan pursed her lips and said coquettishly: "Tomorrow is the annual Shangsi Festival, and the opportunity is rare." The concubine really wants to travel with Cui Xianling, don't let the concubine down! ”

Cao Yuechan saw Lu Ruolan being coquettish, she also sneered, looked at Cui Geng with half a silver tooth, and asked, "Erlang, it's rare for me to come to Yangzhou, what do you say?" ”

"That's it......" Cui Geng was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

Immediately, he mustered up his courage and said, "What, I want to say that we will go together, will we be beaten?" ”
