Chapter 023: The Impatient Bamboo Horse

"Who's to say it's not." He Lang said this, and raised his glass to him: "Speaking of which, I heard that the prince had some accident a few days ago, and he was going to visit him, and the people who didn't want to post went to the palace and came back to say that the prince was not a guest for the time being, so he had to give up." Today, I was invited by the prince of the world, and when I gather here, let me give the prince a cup. ”

Lu Zhan was diverted from the topic by him, raised his lips, stopped his chopsticks and raised the teacup.

What he got from Xu Luo were a few letters, and he naturally read them, all of which were some letters from Xu Luo's home when He Zhen took office in Luoyang in the early years, and the content of the letters was only some of his contacts in Luoyang. Originally, he thought it was normal, but Tang Zhen's name appeared in the letter.

He Zhen took office in Luoyang seventeen or eighteen years ago, while Tang Zhen, who was from Longchuan, was He Fu who advanced in sixteen years. This means that Tang Zhen was already known by He Zhen before he entered He Mansion. With He Zhen's family background, how could he know a handyman? And will it be mentioned in the epistle?

Lu Zhan invited He Lang to come out for this trip, naturally with a sense of temptation. And at the moment, He Lang's evasion is even more subtle.

There must be some secret between He Zhen and Tang Zhen, so the emperor will pay attention.

So after this incident in his previous life, He Zhen was not affected in the court, was the emperor excluded him, or did things not go as he thought, in fact, He Zhen did not have a handle that affected the court situation?

After all, the emperor said that he wanted to see Tang Zhen in person, and he also said that he would go out of the palace to see him in private, so it didn't look like he was going to ask for a crime at the moment.

The attendant came up to add tea, and Xiao Zhenshan turned the topic to Lu Zhan: "I heard Zihuai say that you were seriously injured earlier, and I haven't had time to ask you, how did you do it?" Since I was a child, I have never been less obedient around me, how did I come back covered in blood? ”

Lu Zhan put down his chopsticks: "That day, I found a muntjac at the foot of the mountain in the eastern suburbs, I chased it up the mountain, and the horse's hooves stumbled on the stone cliff and fell. How can the guards' horses be as fast as mine? It's too late to pull me. ”

This is the fact that Chonghua and others falsified afterwards.

Lu Yun said: "Dongshan fell, how did you come in from the South City Gate?" ”

Lu Zhan looked at him with a smile: "The third brother still asked, isn't it because my father went to the imperial tomb that day and walked through the east city gate?" Dongshan is about the same distance from the South Gate of the East City Gate, and I was afraid that I would bump into my father under the East City Gate, so I changed my course. My father only knew that I was broken, and the third brother should not say anything when he went back. ”

"You, you!" Lu Yun pointed at him with a smile, and said with a straight face: "Don't be so reckless next time, otherwise my father and princess will be worried?" ”

Lu Zhan raised his lips and chin and looked away.

Lu Yun is still spying on his injuries, if he did it, then he must have known the truth, and he should have already taken the next step, and he would not be stupid enough to try to find his loopholes at this time.

But he persistently wanted to know what his injuries were for?

Song Xiang stood on the side of the street for a while, and the little beggar returned.

"How?" She handed him two skewers.

The little beggar gulped down and said vaguely: "Lord He was an official in Luoyang twenty years ago, and he was transferred after two terms. ”

"What is the origin of this Tang steward?"

"Master He entered Beijing after leaving Luoyang, and Steward Tang entered He Mansion after he returned to Beijing, and he has been working for more than ten years. He has experience, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he mentioned him as a steward.

"His ancestral home is from the south, but he entered Beijing very early and has been in Beijing, so he can be regarded as a Yanjing person." The little beggar finished eating the skewers and licked the oil on the bamboo skewers.

Song Xiang divided the meat skewers in his hand into two more skewers for him.

Two terms is six years, which means that He Zhen has been in Luoyang for at least six years. Then it is normal for him to have special feelings for Luoyang, and to place his affection on poetry and painting.

Since this Tang Zhen has been in the He family for more than ten years, he still brought it up by He Zhen himself, which shows that he has also won He Zhen's trust.

If He Zhen and Xu Luo are just ordinary relatives, is it too cautious to send the people who are reused around him to go in person?

"Is there another thing you want to hear?" Xu is she is very generous, the little beggar hesitated for a moment, and asked her again.

Song Xiang motioned to him. He said, "Steward Tang can speak Luoyang dialect." ”

"Oh?" Song Xiang's lazy back straightened.

The little beggar nodded: "Once I saw him talking to a merchant from Luoyang on the road, and he talked in Luoyang dialect. ”

Song Xiang Weidun: "What kind of merchant?" How do you know it's Luoyang? ”

"An old man who used to be with me was from Luoyang, and he used to scold me in Luoyang dialect, and I understood it. The merchant was delivering goods to the porcelain shop, and that day the Tang steward went to the shop to look at the porcelain, bumped into it, and chatted a few words. I was at the door of the shop. ”

"What exactly?"

"It's just a greeting, and they inquired about each other's hometowns, and the rest is gone. But the Luoyang dialect of Tang Steward is quite fluent, not like learning and selling. ”

This news was quite surprising to Song Xiang, Tang Zhen is a native of Yanjing, he has been studying in Beijing, and he only entered the mansion after He Zhen returned to Beijing, and there is no dialect that followed He Zhen to Luoyang to learn, so how can he speak Luoyang dialect?

Song Xiang thought for a while, bent down and handed the last two skewers of meat to the little beggar: "I looked for you today, don't tell me." You promise me that this is for you to eat. If you can help me keep an eye on it, then next time I come, I'll buy you meat to eat. ”

The little beggar nodded: "As long as you don't say it yourself, I definitely won't say it." ”

Song Xiang sent him away and walked towards the candy man stall.

After this half an hour, Song Lian and their meal must have been almost finished.

……

On the side of the restaurant, after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is gradually calming.

Although Song Lian was not hungry, he had nothing else to do, and he ate while listening to their chatter, but he also pulled down two bowls of rice. In the interval between putting the bowls, Fu Ying finally found an opportunity to come to his side while the rest of the people were chatting.

"Why are you with the prince of Jin?"

Song Lian thought that after eating such a meal, even if he met an acquaintance, he couldn't dismantle Lu Zhan's platform, so he responded as he had told him before.

When Fu Ying heard that Song Xiang had been separated from him, and that he was alone, she immediately frowned: "Why hasn't she heard from her for so long?" Will it be dangerous? ”

"It's fine. My sister is very familiar with this capital. ”

Fu Ying only regarded his understatement as childish, and couldn't help but look at the door with a worried look. But it was quiet outside the door, and there was no one who would come to disturb the birthday banquet of the little marquis.

"How have you been in the southern suburbs for the past few years?" Retracting his gaze, he asked again.

"That's good." Song Lian said, "The countryside is wide and comfortable, and my sister cooks food every day." ”

Fu Ying's eyes softened: "She still likes to do things by herself so much?" ”

At this time, Chonghua on the other side of the bead curtain walked in: "Yu Shizi, Miss Song is here." ”

When Fu Ying heard this, she immediately got up towards the door.

Lu Zhan, who was listening to Xiao Zhenshan's nagging, just poured the last sentence into his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw him subconsciously walking under the curtain.

Lu Zhan glanced at it lightly and said, "There are a lot of people here, please Miss Song stay on the side of the bead curtain to talk." ”
