Chapter 198: Temptation

Zhao Yu's face, which was originally slightly tense, immediately relaxed, and bloomed into a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze. "How so? But how did my brother come? ”

Seeing Zhao Yu's expression, Zhao Shouyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Zhao Yu would show him his face along the way, then he would really have no place to vent his grievances. It's just that after listening to Zhao Yu's words, his heart sank, and Zhao Yu pretended to be stupid and stunned, but it was not for nothing.

Zhao Shouyi's intention can be said to be an open secret, but it is open to the public, but there are some words, whoever says it first, I am afraid that he will lose the first hand. In the next negotiations, it is time to fall into disadvantage!

Thinking about it, Zhao Shouyi snorted and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and I think about Liulang you." And it's not just me, my father also thinks about Liulang you, Liulang, if you have time, why don't you come to the palace first? ”

Zhao Yu understood Zhao Shouyi's thoughts, but he wanted Zhao Yuanyan, an old fox, to deal with him? Zhao Yu knew in his heart that the two of them were not talking about any core things at the moment, they were all talking about what was happening in the capital now, but they were all talking about it.

Zhao Yu didn't send Zhao Yuanyan back to King Jing's Mansion, because when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhao Yu couldn't help but go in, right? But after entering, Zhao Yu was not sure to deal with Zhao Yuanyan, the old fox.

On the one hand, the information is not clear, although Cao Feiliang has always sent intelligence to Zhao Yu in Bianliang City. No matter how you say it, this information is all on paper, and some seemingly ordinary information, when connected in series, is likely to become important information.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu is tired! Although it is said that it is a boat ride, it is more stable, but the long journey of six days is inevitably physically and psychologically tiring. It is obviously unwise to go to see Zhao Yuanyan in this state!

Zhao Shouyi was a little unhappy about this, and waved goodbye to Zhao Yu with a stiff face.

However, Cao Feiliang glanced at Zhao Shouyi, who was no longer on the street, turned his head and asked Zhao Yu: "The prince is still hostile to the little grandfather?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "It's just a childhood conflict, in front of power, how ridiculous!" ”

Cao Feiliang was stunned, and stopped talking.

Zhao Yu glanced at Cao Feiliang and said slowly: "Do you want to say why this king is talking with thorns in front of Zhao Jianmen (Jian Gate, Zhao Shouyi's Jilu Official)?" ”

Originally, Cao Feiliang was not good at asking about this matter, after all, Zhao Yu was the lord and he was the minister, but since Zhao Yu had broken it himself. Cao Feiliang didn't hide it, and said very happily: "Exactly, the current situation in Bianliang, the prince knows if he wants to come." Although there are a lot of people who greet the prince today, there are not many people who really help. Cheng Tianqiu is most likely not to help each other, after all, he is the three envoys, and Lu Tanfu is also very helpful. If King Jing has help, no matter what the prince wants to do, it will be much more convenient! ”

Although Zhao Yuanyan is only a powerless prince, he has his own foundation. Although the Song Dynasty pioneered the imperial examination system, in fact, although there were many people from the imperial examination in the army of officials in the Song Dynasty, it was not absolute. Because the Song Dynasty had a recommendation system, many guests and subordinate officials were able to hold important positions and high-ranking officials.

is like Liu E's nephew Liu Congde, because someone can pat him on the back, he was immediately promoted. A minor official was able to serve in the court, and a state judge was promoted to the governor of the state. In the past few years, although Zhao Yuanyan has been low-key, there are seven people who are recommended as officials. Coupled with Zhao Yuanyan's own solicitation and the doormen recommended in previous years, Zhao Yuanyan's influence is still considerable. It's no wonder that Cao Feiliang was a little angry when he spoke.

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Cao Changshi! You're a fan of the authorities! ”

Cao Feiliang's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Yu suspiciously.

Pulling the small coffee table drawer fixed in the carriage next to it, it immediately reveals the pastries stored inside, which are attractive in both color and aroma. Zhao Yu picked up a piece of plum blossom cake and said calmly: "In fact, being a person and doing things is the same as making pastries in some aspects. Regardless of how the pastry tasted, at least he had to look brightly coloured so that it could attract people, and he smelled a fragrance that he had already liked before he saw it. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu continued: "The same is true for receiving people and things, on the one hand, this king wants to test the bottom line of Zhao Jianmen, and on the other hand, this king is also afraid of having one more enemy." However, judging from Zhao Jianmen's reaction, this time the king's eight uncles have a bit of momentum, and Zhao Jianmen's sarcasm against this king is all daring to be angry and dare not speak. It also reassures the king, in the final analysis, Uncle Bawang is already old, and in this world, it is still us young men! ”

Cao Feiliang heard this, but couldn't help but jump his eyelids. What does the prince's words mean, "This world is still our young man's", could it be that the prince wants to win the world?

Not daring to think about it anymore, Cao Feiliang picked up a piece of pastry and nodded to eat the pastry in disguise.

Zhao Yu didn't care, yawned, and said, "It's strangely sleepy, Cao Changshi will wake up this king when he arrives at the ground!" ”

said so, after Zhao Yu fell asleep, it was strangely heavy. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside. Naturally, the person was not in the carriage, I think it was Cao Feiliang who called the master and sent himself into the room lightly!

Rubbing his hair, Zhao Yu sat up on the bed, and he didn't wash all the way, and Zhao Yu felt uncomfortable all over. shouted, "Who's on duty outside?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's a slave outside!" A delicate voice came.

Zhao Yu frowned, he didn't remember who it was, but it was strangely familiar. Where's the maid in this mansion? I haven't seen each other for more than two years, and I still have some memory? Forget it, don't think about it, tidy up your messy long hair, Zhao Yu shouted: "Come in, light all the candles!" ”

"Squeak! ~" There was a sound of the door turning, and a small opening was removed, and a maid came in sideways. Although there is no palm lamp, Zhao Yu's eyes have long been accustomed to the dark, and he can clearly see that he is in good shape, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as graceful.

The maid also brought a lantern behind her, the light was quite dazzling, and Zhao Yu blocked the light with her palm and squinted her eyes. The sound of squirming sounded, and I thought it was the maid who was putting on the lamp,

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the room to be bright. Blinking, Zhao Yu felt that the light was no longer so stinging, and put down his palm.

I saw a young girl in Tsing Yi standing aside, her appearance was not stunning, but she was also a beauty.

Zhao Yu was stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you Jiaoniang?" ”

Jiao Niang is a refugee woman bought by Zhao Yu outside Bianliang City, with a pair of slender and attractive legs. It's just that Zhao Yu sent Jiao Niang to Cui Niannu to wait, and when Cui Niannu revealed his true identity, Zhao Yu didn't know if the maid who was waiting for Cui Niannu had been brainwashed.

Just said that he wanted to put them by his side, Zhao Yu was not at ease, over the years, these maids have been slowly sent to other parts of the yamen to do things, such as taking care of the flower garden, tidying up the guest rooms and other things. And Jiao Niang is naturally one of them, and it is no wonder that Zhao Yu has forgotten about this girl who is quite impressed.

Jiao Niang lowered her head and said a little timidly: "Sister Zhenzhen is really sleepy, so the slave will come to be one or two!" ”

It's really a maid waiting for Zhao Yu, not a beauty with a role, a mediocre appearance and a mediocre figure, but she is very diligent in her work, and she doesn't like to talk or know how to read. Zhao Yu chose him as the little maid who took care of his daily life. In addition to Zhenzhen, another maid who served Zhao Yu also had the same characteristics, in terms of women, I don't know if she was injured by Cui Niannu, or if she didn't meet a woman who was excited, Zhao Yu was quite restrained in this regard.

Gossip is not mentioned, but let's get down to business. After listening to Jiao Niang's reply, Zhao Yu nodded, yawned and said, "Is there anyone else in the kitchen?" ”

"There should be no more, it's been three watches!" Jiao Niang replied.

Zhao Yu was stunned, he didn't expect that he would sleep, and he actually slept for more than ten hours. The third watch day is 11 o'clock in the evening. Although there is a city that never sleeps in Bianliang City, it is impossible to say that everyone does not need to sleep.

"That's it, cold water is fine!" Zhao Yu is quite human, and he didn't let Jiao Niang ask someone to boil water.

Jiao Niang thought for a while and said, "Lord Wang, the snow water has just melted, and the water is too cold at this time." However, there are a few charcoal stoves burning in the prince's room, and putting the charcoal fire on the other side of the boiling water room can boil some hot water! ”

Zhao Yu's bathroom is luxuriously divided into two parts, one is a bathroom and the other is a boiling water room, although they are separated on the surface, they are actually connected. Because when it boils, you don't need to carry a bucket to the bathroom to pour water, but you can pry up the iron pot with a wooden stick and turn it over, and the waste water will naturally flow down the stone cut waterway into the sink of the next bathroom.

After thinking about Jiao Niang, Zhao Yu also felt wonderful. Although it is said that Zhao Yu has no problem taking a cold shower, but now his whole body is sticky, and it is better to take a hot shower. He nodded happily and said, "It's okay!" ”

Out of the door, there were two forbidden soldiers outside, so Zhao Yu asked them to go to the firewood room to bring some wood. And Jiao Niang went to boil water, but Zhao Yu naturally didn't want Jiao Niang to do it all alone, and she also went to help. Boiling water is much easier, just throw firewood into it.

As for the clean water, there is naturally a large water tank in the room, so there is no need to go to the well outside to pump water in the cold.

After a lot of effort, my body was already sticking to my clothes, and now I was sweating profusely. Zhao Yu couldn't blame Jiao Niang, so he hurriedly boiled the water room and walked to the bathroom next door.

The water vapor is pervasive, and people soak in the pool, and the warm warm water is like countless pairs of small hands massaging on the muscles, making people feel refreshed.

"Whoa! ~”

"Hmm, what's that sound?" Zhao Yu muttered suspiciously.

"It's a slave!" Jiao Niang's voice came.

Zhao Yu didn't care, under the warm water soaking, Zhao Yu was lazy, and he didn't even want to turn his head.

"Slave maid...... Slaves and maids come to serve the prince and freshen up! Jiao Niang bit her lower lip lightly and said a little nervously.

Zhao Yu was taken aback, turned his head, and a sight that made people squirt nosebleeds immediately appeared in the field of vision...... (To be continued.) )
