At the moment when the lips of the two were about to touch each other. The door of the embroidered building was gently pushed open with a creak.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old little maid with a freckled face walked in cautiously with a wooden basin filled with hot water.

As she walked, the maid lowered her head, looked at the road under her feet, and said happily: "Miss, the hot water is here!" ”

And Lu Heng and the others, who were brewing their feelings, were startled by the uninvited guest who suddenly came in, and Wang Tingzhi, who was still snuggled in his arms just now, was immediately frightened like a little rabbit and jumped out of Lu Heng's arms. She blushed, lowered her head, and while sorting out the clothes on her body, she secretly raised her head and glared at Lu Heng in shame. Although there was a hint of shame and anger in his eyes, the spring love between his eyebrows could not be concealed.

It was a good thing to be bumped into, and Lu Heng was also a little embarrassed. However, in comparison, he is much calmer than Wang Tingzhi. At this time, he unhurriedly packed up the long shirt on his body, sat down at the table, took a sip of the teacup, raised his head and smiled at the wide-eyed, disbelieving maid, and stretched out his hand to point to the stool beside him. He said softly, "Oh, it's here, then put it on the stool!" ”

"Oh!" The maid nodded blankly, and put the wooden basin on the chair in a panic. Maybe it's because I'm too nervous, and when I put the pot, I pushed too hard, causing the hot water in the tub to splash everywhere. The splash splashed the maid's face.

The maid hurriedly raised her sleeves and hurriedly wiped the water droplets from her face. Then he bowed his head and went out respectfully.

Hey, this little girl is so calm!

This maid's demeanor surprised Lu Heng on the side. Turning his head, he glanced at Wang Tingzhi who was standing aside. I was also surprised to find that the other party's eyes were also surprised.

Seeing Lu Heng looking towards him, Wang Tingzhi's pretty face suddenly turned blood red, and she glanced at Lu Heng with affection in her beautiful eyes. The strong style made Lu Heng's body feel uneasy.

Turning his head, he looked towards the door of the embroidery building. I saw the maid walking along and wiping her hands wet with water. It's just that the pace seems to be a lot faster.

When the maid went out, Lu Heng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief. But when I heard the maid standing at the door, she suddenly opened her throat and shouted downstairs in a panic: "Someone, there is a disciple who has broken into the eldest lady's embroidery building!" ”

A loud voice, with horror and helplessness, suddenly resounded through the East Cross Courtyard. Then, I heard the sound of many maids rushing over from downstairs.

"Where is the disciple, there?"

"Damn, that thief who doesn't want to die, dare to go to the Wang's house to spread wild. Look at the young master who doesn't skin him! ”

…… Listening to the increasingly excited crowd downstairs, Lu Heng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead helplessly. Turning his head, he looked at Wang Tingzhi, who was standing aside, pursing her lips and snickering, and spread her hands speechlessly, with a wry smile on her face.

"Well deserved!" Wang Tingzhi couldn't help laughing, glanced at Lu Heng, and said softly: "Who let you come in so recklessly!" ”

Looking at the woman in front of him in a loose long skirt, with that delicate look, Lu Heng sighed and smiled helplessly.

Although he was slammed by the second son of Wang, but, hey, I can't hate it.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers downstairs, the emotions became more and more excited. The voice was noisy and angry, and it was very likely that he would rush up in the next second and take Lu Heng down and send him directly to the official mansion.

Wang Tingzhi didn't want people to find out about their troubles, she was seen bathing in broad daylight, and if she wore it out, her reputation would really be ruined.

Thinking of this, Wang Tingzhi smiled at Lu Heng, who was depressed. Then, she pursed her lips, smiled softly, raised her little feet, and walked towards the door of the embroidery building.

When I went out, I saw a group of black and oppressive maids gathered downstairs, most of these people were holding sticks and looking murderous. It's as if the people upstairs have a common enmity with them.

I saw a few bold family members, who were already tentative, ready to go upstairs.

Wang Tingzhi, who went out, coughed lightly, and said softly to the crowd of onlookers below: "You all disperse, I am the only one upstairs, and there is no silver thief!" ”

"But, eldest miss, just now Sister Rui'er said that there was a disciple who broke into the building!" The family member who took the lead, after seeing that his young lady appeared safe and sound, first breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and asked with a flattering smile.

In fact, the family was also very nervous. What if, the silver thief who broke into the eldest lady's embroidery building is a martial arts master who kills people without blinking, then what should I do.

If you break someone's good deeds, will you anger others and be killed on the spot?

However, thinking of Mr. Li's road to fame, this family member still mustered up the courage and decided to go up and try it.

Damn, starve the faint-hearted, support the daring. Just for the monthly money of ten taels of silver that year. It's worth it to be beaten by a martial arts master.

Thinking of this, the family puffed out his chest, looked like he was going to death generously, and said to the eldest lady majestically.

Wang Tingzhi, who was standing on the repair floor, turned her head, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, glanced at this person, nodded with a smile and said, "Courage is commendable, if you go to Manager Li, just say that the eldest lady will let you be a first-class family!" Go ahead! ”

After saying this, Wang Tingzhi turned her gaze to the others again, smiled lightly, waved her hand and said, "Today's matter is not allowed to be spread outside." Disperse, ye yourselves. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Tingzhi smiled faintly, as if there was really nothing wrong, and turned around and returned to the house.

In the room, Lu Heng was sitting at the table, drinking tea leisurely, with an indifferent look as if he had never worried about things outside.

Seeing Wang Tingzhi go and return, after returning to the room. Lu Heng put down the teacup, stood up, walked in front of her, stared straight at her, until the woman blushed and lowered her head, he stretched out his thumb and joked with a smile: "The eldest lady is really a heroine among women!" ”

Wang Tingzhi blushed, raised her head bravely, with a look of grievance in her beautiful eyes, pursed her small mouth, and said angrily: "You are still ...... Not! ”

Seeing the woman's shy appearance, Lu Heng smiled, stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's soft waist, and took her forward and took her into his arms. Staring deeply at the woman, he leaned forward and kissed the woman's pursed mouth gently.

"Hmm...... Not! ”

In her arms, the woman who was struggling violently at the beginning, after some useless efforts, her tense body finally softened. The arm, which was as white and tender as a lotus lotus, trembled and put it on Lu Heng's back.

She closed her eyes softly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and let the man kiss her lips softly.

…… The afternoon sun is warm and bright, and the sunlight shines through the windows and shines on the neat floor, reflecting dazzling light and shadow. In the room, the small stove was blazing, and the flames in the stove licked the walls and whirred. In the incense burner on the side, wisps of pale cyan incense, exuding a faint fragrance, permeated this warm room.

Around the room, the inscriptions of the ancestors of the Wang family are posted, and the handwriting of the lines or cursive or official scripts is strong and powerful. In the whole room, the smell of books is extremely strong.

Placed on the bookshelves around it, the collection of books exceeds 10,000, neatly placed on it, which looks very liking in people's hearts.

On the sandalwood table, three hot teas are placed. Lu Heng, Wang Tingzhi, and Wang Liye sat around the table.

It was a quiet and warm scene, and everything was so calm and gentle. However, Wang Liye on the side greatly spoiled the scenery.

Since he came here an hour ago, he has been rinsing his mouth with a teacup, and squirting all over the ground. The ground is wet, and people who don't know still think that the main house of the Wang family was built on a well.

Looking at Wang Liye, who had gargled his mouth at least dozens of times, but his face was still pale, Lu Heng's heart was full of doubts.

He, what's going on? What did you eat at noon?

Turning his head, he took a look, Wang Tingzhi, who was sitting opposite, still with a trace of blush on her pretty face, stretched out her hand and pointed at Wang Liye beside her, her eyes full of inquiry.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Tingzhi saw Lu Heng's movements, she just lowered her head and smiled, and then she glanced at him with all kinds of amorous eyes, and turned her gaze to the side.

Looking at the pink color that appeared on the woman's neck, which was as white as white jade. Lu Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, chuckled and shook his head, his face full of indifferent smiles.

In the morning, Lu Heng couldn't help himself for a while, so he took the woman into his arms and kissed her lightly. Originally, it was when the love was in full swing and I was about to make the next move. But she never thought that the woman with strong affection suddenly woke up after feeling Lu Heng's hand that was stretched into her underwear, and pushed Lu Heng away embarrassedly.

She lowered her head, hid far away, shyly and panicked, and stammered to explain to Lu Heng.

It's just that the woman seems to be too nervous, and she is afraid that she will say too much and hurt Lu Heng's heart. After saying a few words, he stammered into a sentence.

However, Lu Heng still summed up the reason why she pushed herself away from the woman's whisper.

After Wang Tingzhi was an official eunuch, Yunying was unmarried and waited for the word boudoir. A big girl with yellow flowers, how could she let Lu Heng into her body so rashly. Moreover, later, Wang Tingzhi lowered her head, her pretty face was red with shame, and explained in a low voice: "Wait until the night of the candles in the cave room, you can do it, you can do it!" ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Tingzhi blushed, lowered her head, and waited for Lu Heng's reaction.

looked at this woman who was afraid of hurting herself, and explained so tremblingly. Lu Heng's heart warmed, shook his head and stepped forward, gently took her into his arms, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said softly: "Then wait for the day of the candle night in the cave room!" ”

The two stayed warm in the embroidery building for a morning and said some sweet love words. The atmosphere was warm and congenial.

During this period, Lu Heng also asked when this woman fell in love with him. However, as soon as these words came out, the woman suddenly blushed with shame.

At first she bowed her head, blushed, and refused to speak. However, he couldn't stand Lu Heng's stubborn fighting. In the end, he gently approached Lu Heng's arms, and whispered in a low voice, remembering the past.

It turned out that from the day after Lu Heng entered the palace, Wang Tingzhi began to pay attention to this Lu Heng on that extremely eye-catching account book. Later, this scholar did not hesitate to hand over to himself the skill of settling accounts that he relied on for a living.

At that time, Wang Tingzhi was not only surprised and stunned, but also became more curious about this scholar.

You know, in this era, even if it's a master and an apprentice. When it doesn't reach a certain level, the master won't easily teach the disciple skills.

And this scholar, who is not related to him, will give himself such an important arithmetic technique.

At first, Wang Tingzhi also secretly wondered if this scholar had some other ideas in his heart.

After all, over the years, Wang Tingzhi's beautiful appearance is well known in Jiangning City. There are often some talented people and scholars, in the name of coming to the palace to find an errand, to come to their own engines.

For these people, Wang Tingzhi was extremely disgusted in her heart. But it can't be too obvious. just gave a lukewarm answer to these people, and let Wang Liye send him away.

Now, this Lu Heng would make such abnormal actions. Of course, she would doubt Lu Heng's intentions.

However, an incident happened after that, which made her completely change her view of scholars.

It was on the eve of the Qin Huai Poetry Club, and she inadvertently made a joke, but she never wanted to annoy the scholar. At that time, although Lu Heng was not angry. But the indifference between the eyebrows revealed the disgust of his words.

He glanced at Wang Tingzhi indifferently, threw off his sleeves, didn't drop a word, and walked away.

At that time, looking at the scholar who disappeared from sight in the sunset at dusk, Wang Tingzhi couldn't help but be stunned. There was an inexplicable trace of grievance in my heart.

Previously, in that hut, she ate sweet potatoes with the scholar and the manager Fang unrestrained, and at night, under the candlelight, the scholar patiently explained to her the scene of the key points in the arithmetic technique, and the scenes appeared in front of her.

Unconsciously, Wang Tingzhi was already in tears.

And at the Qinhuai Poetry Conference the next day, Lu Gongzi became famous overnight. With a song of Jinse, it is famous in Jiangning. At that time, Wang Tingzhi sighed in her heart. thought to himself, the fate of Lu Gongzi and the palace might be over.

After all, with the other party's fame, it is impossible to succumb to the palace.

It's just that what she doesn't know is that at the night of the Qin Huai Poetry Club. Her second brother, the steward of the Wang family. Wang Liye actually apologized to Lu Heng in person at the poetry meeting, in front of Jiangning officials and students.

After this incident passed, Lu Heng, who had no intention of pursuing it in his heart, shook his head and smiled, dispelling Wang Liye's worries. Still back to the palace.

And the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Tingzhi plucked up the courage to approach Lu Heng for the first time.

That night, Wang Tingzhi, who was hiding in the crowd, saw the king of Huainan, and Wu Ningyuan actually talked and laughed with Lu Gongzi. And she finally saw Lu Heng's hidden strength in the dark.

Moreover, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Heng's song called for a flower to accompany you quietly opened the door to her heart unconsciously.

At that time, Wang Tingzhi didn't know why she was inexplicably jealous with her sister of the Lu family.

Now that she thinks about it, maybe she saw that Lu Gongzi treated the Lu family's sister so gently, and she was actually jealous in her heart.

After that, just as she was about to approach Lu Heng again. But I never thought that something like that would happen in the palace.

The second brother was arrested, and the entire palace was gloomy.

And at that time, Li Er, who was bored in peace, sent a brilliant plan.

Just a letter, a letter that had been shelved for more than ten years and had never been used, turned things around in just a few days. Let the Wang family, which was on the verge of collapse, turn the danger into a disaster in an instant.

Afterwards, she finally knew that after the whole incident, the person who controlled everything turned out to be the smiling Lu Gongzi in Pingxi Cross Courtyard.

He's really amazing!

One afternoon, the woman walked alone to the Qinhuai River, looked at the closed courtyard gate, tears flashed in her eyes, she bit her lip lightly, and made up her mind in her heart.

…… Sunset twilight. The sunset is full.

Everything in the courtyard is clothed in a fiery red robe. The cold winter wind blew, and the paper on the window lattices whirred.

The room is still as warm as ever.

Wang Tingzhi and Wang Liye, the two leaned forward slightly, staring motionlessly at the brush in Lu Heng's hand that kept wandering on the paper.

Wang Tingzhi secretly turned her head and took a look, Lu Heng, who was indifferent and calm, had a slightly red face, for fear that the other party would notice her abnormality, so she hurriedly lowered her head, and her heart was like a deer.

Just now, the second brother pinched his words and asked Lu Heng in a roundabout way, wanting to ask the other party about the future direction of the Wang family.

Originally, she blamed her second brother for being reckless. I'm afraid that such a naked attitude will annoy Lu Heng.

What made her curious, though. After hearing the second brother's inquiry, Lu Heng just smiled, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"I have some ideas, you two can listen to them!" After thinking about it, Lu Heng raised his head and smiled slightly, looking at Wang Liye Dao.

Wang Liye also didn't expect Lu Heng to be so happy, and after being stunned for a while, he hurriedly summoned his subordinates and put down the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, of course, he also asked his subordinates to take the abacus that he treasured.

He personally poured Lu Heng a cup of fragrant tea, and after sitting down nervously, he looked at Lu Heng with a cheap smile, waiting for the other party's clever plan.

Lu Heng shook his head amusedly, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then nodded and praised the good tea. Seeing Wang Liye, he smirked and said that he had specially picked it in Zhejiang last year.

After putting down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Lu Heng's expression changed, he raised his head solemnly, put down the brush, looked at Wang Liye indifferently, and said lightly: "Second son, this set of plans is indeed specially formulated for the palace. The degree of enforceability should be no problem. And, I think, the effect should be good! If the implementation is in place, perhaps in more than ten years, the palace will be the second home! Are you clear? ”
