The July wind, blowing across the river, brings with it the sweet scent of fruit. It also took away the dark clouds that lingered with this.

The rainy season has passed, and the sky is finally no longer overcast.

The warm sun finally shone on the earth, and after more than a month of rain, the sky was blue like never before. The stagnant water in Jiangning City has also begun to recede. After the water, the grass on the side of the road breaks free from the mud and glows with vitality. The bluestone pavement in the city reflects the blazing sun, which makes people a little dizzy.

Lu Heng sat in the teahouse, listening to the storyteller in the teahouse talking affectionately about the north. While sipping tea, he listened to Xiao Zhiyuan on the other side talk about what happened in Jiangning City recently.

and Xiao Zhiyuan met by the Qinhuai River. At that time, Xiao Zhiyuan was getting off a flower boat, and after seeing Lu Heng, he warmly invited Lu Heng to gather among the immortals.

In fact, speaking of which, Lu Heng has no friendship with this No. 1 talent in Jiangning. It's just that these days, I often hear the maids in the palace compare him with the No. 1 talent in Jiangning, saying who wins and who loses.

And the number of times the two have met, at best, is only five times.

Today, after meeting by the Qinhuai River, this No. 1 talent in Jiangning will invite Lu Heng to eat and drink no matter what. That skillful appearance, as if the two had known each other for decades.

Lu Heng was very suspicious of why this Jiangning genius had to invite him to dinner, but when he was on the way, after hearing him ask something about Wang Tingzhi on the side, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, it turned out that this was the case!

This is also the reason why Xiao Zhiyuan has to pull Lu Heng, who is not very familiar with him, to drink together. Well, at least, that's what Lu Heng thinks. And. Lu Heng also felt that his guess was very accurate.

After entering the restaurant, Xiao Zhiyuan first began to talk about a large number of elegant things about Jiangning, and then changed the topic, and followed the topic of Mr. Storyteller to the Turks in the north.

Then, less than half an hour after the topic of Turkic was discussed, Xiao Zhiyuan, who had three glasses of wine, began to ask Lu Heng about Wang Tingzhi.

However, he was clearly looking for the wrong person. If he really likes Wang Tingzhi, he can go to the princess in the east of the city. Speaking of Wang Po, she is a very famous matchmaker in Jiangning City. It is said that in her career for decades, there are countless crazy men and women who have achieved good things through her hands. People send nicknames, thousands of miles of red lines.

However, when Lu Heng was drinking tea and nodding with a smile. He also discovered that it turned out that this first genius in Jiangning turned out to be just unrequited love.

According to the meaning of his words, it means that when he was at the Qinhuai Poetry Conference last year, he met Miss Wang. At that time, Miss Wang was with Wang Jiangong.

is also a student of Jiangning, and they have met before. Therefore, he and Wang Jiangong can also talk.

At that time, he was talking to Wang Jiangong about the poetry club. A beautiful woman in a plain dress, like a fairy in the fairy world, appeared in his sight. In the crowded street, the woman had already appeared, and the others were suddenly eclipsed.

In Xiao Zhiyuan's world, it seems to have suddenly turned black and white. Only that touch of elegant grass green made him deeply addicted to it.

Later, when he saw that this woman was called Brother Wang Jiangong, he knew that there was such a beautiful woman in the palace. However, at that time, because Wang Jiangong had something to do, and Wang Tingzhi's attention was obviously not on him. Therefore, that is, it is convenient for the beautiful woman to pass by, and since then, Xiao Zhiyuan has been thinking about Wang Tingzhi in his heart. I am eager to meet Wang Tingzhi one day.

However, three years have passed, and the city of Jiangning is still crowded. Xiao Zhiyuan, who lingered in the city, never saw Wang Tingzhi again.

He had also thought about letting Qianli Red Line introduce him before. But then I thought about it, and I felt that it was abrupt to enter the house like this. So, he felt that this method was not very good. I started thinking of other ways.

In this way, it is two years to think about it.

After the Qinhuai Poetry Conference, he learned that Lu Heng, who shined at the poetry meeting, turned out to be a poor person in the palace. Hence the idea.

Today, when I met by the Qinhuai River, the crazy longing for the beautiful woman prompted Xiao Zhiyuan to let go of his apprehension and shyness, and he dragged Lu Heng to the highest consumption in Jiangning City.

He drank wine, although it was not strong, but after three rounds of drinking, Xiao Zhiyuan still showed drunkenness. A faint flush appeared on the handsome face.

He knocked on the side a little uneasy, but when he saw Lu Heng, he looked like he was sitting and talking about him. The surname Suo let go of the restraints in his heart and asked, "I don't know Brother Lu, have you seen Miss Wang recently?" ”

Pimping, oh no, pulling the red line, Lu Heng is not interested.

However, since people spend a lot of money on treats, they are still infatuated. Lu Heng naturally didn't want to show it too obviously.

He picked up the teacup, glanced at Xiao Zhiyuan, and saw the expectation on the other party's face, Lu Heng thought about it, and finally nodded: "I've met once before, but it's veiled, and I haven't seen my true face!" ”

Hearing Lu Heng say that he had seen it, Xiao Zhiyuan's expression was obviously tight, and his eyes staring at Lu Heng suddenly became a little complicated. However, after hearing that Lu Heng saw only Wang Tingzhi with a veil, his expression suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, Tingzhi's true face has not been seen by other men!

Xiao Zhiyuan's expression changed, and naturally he did not escape Lu Heng's attention.

Seeing Xiao Zhiyuan's expression, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart. The psychology of this person, alas! It's a pity that the belly is full of talent! And, his hobby of visiting flower boats, heh!

After that, there is some boring perfunctory and chatting. With Lu Heng's experience as a person, he naturally will not make the other party feel perfunctory. So, he kept talking about how beautiful Wang Tingzhi was, and said that if he came to the church to worship the prime minister in the future, he would definitely marry Wang Tingzhi when he returned to his hometown.

Lu Heng, who was sitting opposite him, just held a teacup and tasted the aroma of afternoon tea with a meter of sunlight outside the window. Occasionally, he would show an expression of admiration, and then ask a sentence or two, which made Xiao Zhiyuan's heart eager to be worshiped a little satisfied.

The morning was over!

……

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhiyuan, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, finally ended this boring banquet.

After sending Xiao Zhiyuan away, Lu Heng walked alone in Jiangning City in this afternoon.

The afternoon sun is no longer so dazzling. But the temperature has risen a lot. The bluestone pavement under your feet is a little hot. After walking for a while, Lu Heng found a tea stall on the side of the street, drinking tea while waiting for the afternoon to pass boringly.

The streets are as smooth as washing, and under the pavilions and shops, the pawn vendors gather here to hide from the shade. Parents talk about some things about the east and west families. However, what they heard the most from their mouths was the repair of the river embankment this year.

This year, the people of Jiangning are very happy. They finally survived the rainy season with peace of mind.

In previous years, when the river was swollen, you could see people outside the city who had been conscripted into forced labor, carrying farm tools to the embankment in the torrential rain.

Although I don't know if the embankment will burst, I always feel panicked. Moreover, the common people have lived around Jiangning for generations, and among those who were conscripted to serve in conscription, there were naturally their relatives.

Every year, someone stumbles and falls into the river, and even their bones cannot be found. Therefore, often after the construction of the river embankment, the place where it is requisitioned will always cry again and again, and the mourning will continue. The entire city of Jiangning was immersed in a state of sadness.

This year is different, some time ago, when it rained heavily, the people of Jiangning saw a scene that surprised them very much.

The soldiers who were powerful and blessed in the Ping Dynasty were so powerful that they went up to the embankment in groups carrying farm tools at the extreme of the river swelling. And thousands of Jiangning garrison sergeants are like being beaten with chicken blood. Screaming and rushing upwards.

This kind of situation, put aside in the past, it is unimaginable.

Moreover, after the construction of the embankment, these sergeants returned to the city as if they were a different person, and when they returned to the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes.

Some of the civilians tried to bring food to the muddy sergeants, but as if they had been ordered something, they did not offend.

Is this still the same group of military masters who used to be powerful?

The people were puzzled, but they were happy.

Afterwards, naturally, some merchants organized some activities to send warmth to the barracks, and looked at the people who were as scared as if they had seen the king of Hades, and they actually sent things to themselves, and those military masters were happy and smiled.

invisibly elevated their image, these soldiers who are acting recklessly. It is also natural to pay attention to your words and deeds. Therefore, in today's Jiangning City, it is rare to see those military men who show off their power in groups and show off their breasts taking things for nothing.

"Don't say it, those bastards are really good at coolies. That's a lot of power! A hundred pounds of stones, one person picked up! A big man with two taels of meat in his hand, his mouth was full of spittle, his eyes widened, and he bragged about what he had seen and heard to the people around him.

"Alas, I heard that the sergeants of the Jiangning garrison have been helping people repair houses recently! Is it true? Dahan's words naturally attracted the attention of others, so a thin man with a two-handful mustache leaned in and asked.

Dahan nodded, wiped the beads of sweat from his chest, and nodded triumphantly: "That's right, I won't hide it from you." Now those sergeants are repairing my house! ”

"Didn't you say that only the houses were repaired for the lonely elderly? Erfat, you are a big man, how can people repair your house? Someone in the crowd suddenly raised a voice of suspicion.

The big man, who was called Erfat, rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of person is my Erfat, living Zhuge ah." Hehe, I won't hide it from you. At that time, I asked my wife to come forward, and those fools saw that my wife was wearing tattered clothes, and repaired the house without saying a word! Haha, how's that, high or not? ”

So, a few people in the crowd let out a sparse exclamation and said that they would also go back and give it a try.

Lu Heng, who was sitting not far away. After hearing these words, his eyes swept at them lightly, and he felt a little helpless.

He also thought of such a situation before. It's just that I didn't expect someone to take advantage of the loophole so soon.

Lu Heng took a sip of tea from the teacup, glanced at the strong man who was called the second fat, and said with a smile in his heart, Heh, it's not easy to take advantage of those sergeants.

The mood was no longer there, and Lu Heng was ready to check out.

As soon as I got up, I heard a beautiful woman's voice: "Lu Gongzi is so leisurely!" ”

Looking back, Wang Tingzhi smiled!
