At dinner in the evening, Liu Qingqing's expression was a little strange.

At first, she lowered her head and ate the rice grains in the bowl without saying a word. However, just when Lu Heng was about to say something.

Liu Qingqing slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked up and glanced at Lu Heng with a strange look.

That look looked like there was some contraband hidden on Lu Heng's body. It made Lu Heng a little restless.

"Uncle, I'm going to see the girl from that family today?"

Liu Qingqing looked at him strangely and asked suddenly.

"Huh?!" After hearing this, Lu Heng shook his head with a smile and said, "No! ”

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Heng, and then continued to bow her head to eat.

Well, this kind of atmosphere is really unbearable.

Lu Heng put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled bitterly, and was about to say what he had seen and heard today.

The woman bowed her head and said to herself, "Oh, my uncle smells so fragrant!" ”

It turned out to be this, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, so he talked about today's matter. After that, Lu Heng held the bowl and said with a smile: "It's the eldest lady of the Wang family, counting, it's still my boss, well, that's it, what I mean!" ”

Because he couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it for a while, Lu Heng had no choice but to be vague and make up a sentence at random.

The woman put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Lu Heng lightly, and sighed: "It's time for uncle to start a family!" ”

It is said that Lu Heng is already nineteen years old this year, and in this era, he should already be the age when he should start a family. However, because he had a marriage contract before, he has been waiting for the young lady of Su Mansion to marry. Now, the marriage certificate has also been returned, and the people are not too young. Liu Qingqing naturally took this into account.

Plus today, Lu Heng has that faint smell of fat powder. It was normal for the woman to think in her heart that Lu Heng was going to look for flowers and ask Liu.

When she had said this, the woman was silent. The expression on her face couldn't see anything, but Lu Heng faintly felt that she didn't seem to be very happy.

For a while, Lu Heng felt a big headache. After all, the former owner had a criminal record. At this time, Liu Qingqing calculated according to this, and it is not an exaggeration.

In desperation, Lu Heng began to think about changing the topic. However, it is difficult to change the topic for a while.

Say the story of folding willows? Isn't this unpleasant for yourself? said that the eldest lady of the Wang family had taken a fancy to herself, cough cough, obviously looking for a pump! And it's still. Said sister-in-law, why did you put on a red belly pocket today, it is very bright. Well, I guess halfway through this, the woman will be able to put the bowl in her hand on her head!

After thinking about it, Lu Heng scratched his head, and he really couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.

Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Yan Liu Qingqing glanced at him secretly, looking at the other party's scratching ears and cheeks, at a loss.

She secretly pursed her lips, but in the end she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"The concubine is joking with you!" Liu Qingqing smiled, as bright as a hundred flowers blooming.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. spread out his hands and said, "I really met the eldest lady of the Wang family!" ”

After repeating this, I finally made it clear.

Seeing the woman's beautiful eyes looking at herself, she nodded occasionally. Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and his whole body was relaxed.

Then, he saw that the woman's pretty face was full of understanding, and then looked at himself seriously and asked, "Uncle, do you have a favorite woman?" ”

Lv Heng: "......"

……

The night was silent, and after eating, the woman left the room with a snicker.

Behind him, Lu Heng sat in front of the window, his face collapsed, and he shook his head helplessly. As a planner, it's so easy to be shabu!

Alas, it really turns in feng shui!

However, when it comes to marriage, Liu Qingqing may be really worried about Lu Heng, these days, although she didn't say it explicitly, she actually kept thinking about it in her heart.

However, she also knew that her uncle's surname at this time would not take this matter to heart. At least, not now.

I tried it twice in a row, and I saw the helplessness on the other party's face. Liu Qingqing had no choice but to give up in the end. In addition to a trace of regret in my heart, there is also a trace of expectation.

With his uncle's talents, it is possible to visit the church in the future. Now it may be really early to talk about marriage.

However, the uncle's expression is really ......, hehe!

Hey, I don't know if that woman can be so blessed to marry her uncle as a wife!

Outside the window, the starry sky is shining, and everything is quiet. Occasionally, there are cicadas chirping and frogs chirping. It's like a good summer scene. In the room, the lights have been extinguished.

Lu Heng was lying on the bed, remembering the embarrassment he had just had, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Just as he was about to turn over and sleep, he heard a sudden noisy shout outside: "It's water!" ”

So, from a few few cries, it finally turned into a noise all over the street.

"The palace is gone!"

Now Lu Heng heard it clearly, he sat up, looked through the window, and looked at the location of the palace in the east. Seeing there, the firelight lit up the night sky, as if it was a fire.

Look at it, at least three or four houses have to be burned!

Well, it looks like I haven't handed in the ledger yet!

Lu Heng suddenly remembered the account books on the table, and felt slightly bad in his heart, so he was ready to hurry to the palace to have a look. Let's see if there's a chance to salvage the ledger.

However, it was also when he put on his shoes, put on his clothes, and was ready to go out. I remembered that when I was talking to Wang Tingzhi today, the girl occasionally smiled during the conversation.

Oh, I see!

His calm eyes flickered slightly. After a long time, he groped his chin and showed a faint smile on his face: "Uh, good acting, good spirit!" ”

After complimenting him with a vague smile, he lay down and continued to sleep with a faint smile on his face.

The next day, the news about the palace going to the water immediately spread all over Jiangning City.

People are talking about the fire in the palace last night. Some people are full of regret and worry, but most people are wondering how much money the fire burned. It would be nice if you gave yourself all this money.

The hunters of Jiangning Mansion were also dispatched, and they walked the streets and alleys to look for clues about the deliberate arson. Although most people say that it was caused by a fire, the catchers still still have to give face to the people of the palace.

After all, Lord Wang's residual power is still there, and the influence of the royal mansion in the Jiangning generation is still very great.

Lu Heng listened to passers-by talk about all kinds of speculations all the way, and walked leisurely towards the palace as usual.

When I arrived at the palace, I saw the family members sitting at the door with worried faces, wiping the ashes from their faces. There are also people with tears in their eyes, distressed by the loss of the fire in the palace last night.

After entering the palace, I didn't take two steps when I heard a roar with great resentment and anger: "How can this be justified, it is simply shameless." Shameless! ”

Belch! Acting skills have improved!

Lu Heng stopped and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw Wang Liye standing at the arch of the East Courtyard, with a black face, yelling angrily at a stranger: "You guys are **naked thieves, shameless!" ”

And that person had an indifferent look on his face. It was as if Wang Liye's words were a breeze in his ears, and he didn't hear them at all.

"Hehe, the second prince of Wang is still wrong to blame Liufu. We, Liufu, are very sympathetic to this fire in your house. After all, it's not easy for anyone to have such a disaster. The second son's words like this can be understood below! Hehe, but ......"

This person's words paused slightly, his face suddenly became serious, he looked straight at the angry Wang Liye, snorted, and said with his hands behind his back: "However, it is not a gentleman's work to slander Liufu like this. As we all know, this fire was caused by the accidental fire of the people in your mansion, and it has nothing to do with my Liu Mansion. If you slander my Liufu so unscrupulously, hmph, then we can only see you in the lobby of the official mansion. Leave! ”

After this person casually hugged his fist at Wang Liye, he threw his sleeves away. When he was about to go out, this person stopped, turned his back to Wang Liye, and sneered: "Second Prince Wang, hehe, my Liufu can become one of the three major cloth merchants in Jiangning, and it is not for anyone who wants to knead it!" If you want to frame me Liufu, hum, let's take your weight first! Hum! ”

After this man left this sentence, he took his entourage and left.

Leaving Wang Liye alone, standing in place trembling with anger!

Lu Heng stood at the arch of the west courtyard, leaning against the wall, watching this scene with interest. Groping his chin, nodding and smiling.

However, when he saw Wang Liye's expression, he was a little worried. Such a realistic performance, will it be too deep into the play,. Can't help yourself?

However, then, Wang Liye's expression made him feel that such worry was a bit superfluous.

But see, Wang Liye has been watching the people of Liufu disappear. Although he still has a black face and looks trembling all over. But one of his small actions was clearly seen by Lu Heng.

The moment Wang Liye turned around and walked towards the east across the courtyard, he stretched out his fist hidden in his sleeve, gestured to his chest, and clenched his fist very powerfully.

Very good start!

Lu Heng smiled faintly, shrugged his shoulders, and then turned around and walked into the West Cross Courtyard.

……

In the following two days, after multiple verifications, Jiangning Mansion announced the results of the investigation.

The results were announced, and the fire was indeed caused by an accidental fire in the royal family.

As soon as this result came out, Liufu was naturally triumphant. And the palace is a scene of boiling anger.

According to the family in the palace, after the second son heard this result, he was so angry that he fainted on the spot. I still haven't woken up. Now, the palace has become a mess.

At this time, Lu Heng was sitting leisurely in the small pavilion in Jiangbei by the Qinhuai River, chatting and laughing with the two old men.

"Yongzheng can know, what is the reaction of the saint after seeing that strategy?" After Zhang Wenshan glanced at Prince Ning with a smile, he turned his head and said to Lu Heng with a smile.

Lu Heng smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and glanced at the old man. Then he said seriously: "He must have said that this person is talented and has the ability to govern the country, and I will pass on this person and create my Great Zhou Wannian foundation?" ”

Zhang Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he laughed. He laughed and scolded Lu Heng with a smile: "You kid, you dare to say such a big rebellion?" If it weren't for the fact that this dynasty didn't punish the crime with words, just what you kid said, it is estimated that he would have been thrown into prison a long time ago! ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty was more open than the social atmosphere of the Ming and Qing dynasties known to Lu Heng in later generations, and the imperial court did not prohibit the people from talking about state affairs. It is precisely because the imperial court has created such a situation and encouraged the big cloth families to speak that there have been several generations of cloth names.

After Zhang Wenshan laughed, he calmed down. He put down the teacup, pointed to Prince Ning, who had been pretending to be deep beside him, and said with a smile: "The Jiangbei Pavilion nostalgia that Yongzheng said some time ago, coupled with this strategy at this time, reminds the saint of the generation of war gods I used to be in the world!" ”

Lu Heng knew that he was talking about Wu Ningyuan, but when he saw that this old man had always been bullish, he felt a little unhappy. At this time, he deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? Do I still have such characters in Da Zhou? Who is it? How come you've never heard of it? ”

"Of course it's the old man! You kid is lonely and unheard, and it's disgusting! Lord Ning finally couldn't hold it back, glared at Lu Heng and shouted.
