Chapter Seventy-Eight: Toast the East Wind, and Calmly
Xiaolai is full of cool air, and Guihua is ten miles west wind. The warm pavilion is calm, and the doggits are full of autumn colors. On the third floor of the Drunken Moon Building, several people sat down, and Lu Weizhen said.
"Yesterday, His Majesty summoned me to enter the palace with the king, and arranged several things, one of which is that this year's spring festival will be advanced in advance, and the palace examination will start in half a month."
"Therefore, in the past half a month, Jiang Lanhe is afraid that he will not be able to leave the Jiang family."
And Jiang Ruyu not only sent people to stare at him, but also went into battle himself.
At this moment, in a warm pavilion in Jiang Mansion, Jiang Lanhe was woken up by the attendants early in the morning. Normally, they don't have the courage to provoke the little boy, but this is the order of the head of the family.
Jiang Xiaogongzi rubbed his loose hair irritably and sat up from the couch. He was about to get angry when a woman in a purple gauze dress came with a tray in one hand.
"Auntie."
Jiang Xiaogongzi's temper was like an eggplant beaten by frost in an instant, and it naturally wilted. The young man looked at the woman with a pair of black and white deer eyes, full of confusion.
"Ah He, I just got the news yesterday. This year's spring festival will be held in half a month. Yes, you can't go anywhere during this time, and you will study at home. ”
"Auntie, didn't you say I could do what I wanted!"
Why did he want to participate in the Spring Festival, he didn't want to be an official.
"Ah He, my aunt doesn't want to force you. Originally, I asked Zhuzhu'er to help you, and she agreed. However, the news that the hidden guard brought back from the palace said that His Majesty wanted to take advantage of this spring festival to choose a husband for Zhu Zhu'er. ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi immediately jumped off the bed, and now he was completely awake and sleepy.
"Want to choose a husband for your cousin?"
The first person he thought of was Lu Weizhen...... Jiang Ruyu rested the tray on the round table, on which was a pot of Pu'er tea and a plate of carved soufflé.
"Come on."
Jiang Ruyu stood in front of the dressing mirror and beckoned to him. Jiang Xiaogongzi obediently walked over and sat down, the person in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, it was the youthful spirit, pure and gentle.
Jiang Ruyu was talking to him while taking his hair and combing his hairband into a high ponytail.
"Ah He, my aunt doesn't ask you to get any good rankings, as long as you can get to the third round and enter the Golden Palace. Whatever the time, Your Majesty will reward you with an official position. ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi was shaking his head, and his good-looking brows immediately wrinkled when he heard this.
"Auntie, you don't want me to marry my cousin."
This is not good, let's not talk about whether Lu Weizhen will shark him, Baili Zhiheng will definitely shark him.
"It's not for you to marry, it's for you to be one of the contenders."
This...... What's the difference! Jiang Lanhe could already think of being scolded by the two of them at the same time.
Jiang Ruyu rubbed the corners of her forehead, she really spoiled Jiang Lanhe, raising him so innocently and ignorant of the world.
"Ah He, I asked you to support your cousin. Your Majesty, it's not just as simple as choosing a husband for Zhu Zhu'er. ”
What Emperor Yuan Dedi wanted to do, most people could see it at a glance. For more than ten years, the king of Nan'an has been indifferent to fame and fortune, and has not stepped into the court dispute. Wei Fu is the only one in the family, and the rest of the families have different thoughts.
What Duanmu Qingjia wanted to do was to force his niece to let King Nan'an take action and stand on his own. and then use this to win over, or 'reorganize' the clans and courtiers.
The heavenly family is ruthless, and Duanmu Yuhua is a bargaining chip, bait, and even a sacrifice. The emperor wants to reshuffle the current pattern in the name of being good for his niece and daughter.
Although Jiang Ruyu could guess the emperor's thoughts, they didn't know what Emperor Yuande would do. And in the process, what other incidents will arise?
There are too many variables, too many uncertainties, and there are simply not things they can control.
Therefore, he can only use himself as a chess game and use the Jiang family as a medium to get involved in this chess game. While exploring the truth, I should try my best to protect the girl, this is Jiang Ruyu's idea.
Jiang Lanhe has a pure heart, and if you want to explain these bends and bends to him clearly, you have to explain them clearly on the surface.
The young man in Tsing Yi looked firm, patting his chest and reassuring.
"I understand my aunt, I will protect my cousin."
Jiang Ruyu's eyebrows were gentle, and she nodded with a smile.
"Okay, let's wash up first. I'll put it on the table for you for breakfast, and I'll have a gentleman to guide you in the article later. ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi first looked bitter and hateful, and when he saw the snacks on the table, his dark eyes were shining.
"Auntie, you did it."
"Well, you just have to study hard for half a month, tell your aunt what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."
If you can eat the food cooked by Jiang Ruyu, you won't lose anything! However, Jiang Lanhe suddenly thought that today he had an appointment with Baili Zhiheng, in the Zuiyue Building.
After much deliberation, he still spoke.
"Auntie, I have a friend waiting for me in Zuiyue Tower, can you send someone to bring him a letter."
Jiang Ruyu nodded, and the two reached a consensus. This is a very simple thing, just send a small servant to the place they agreed to deliver a letter to Baili Zhiheng.
But in this place, there are a total of five pavilions, and only the first floor can be entered and exited at will. From the second floor, you need to hand over tokens to go up, because the higher you go up the platform, the more unusual the status of the person who goes.
Although the little guy who spread the word was from the Jiang family, he had no tokens, so he could only wait at the door of the Zuiyue Tower, but fortunately, Lu Weizhen recognized him.
Lu Weizhen has a good memory and never forgets it.
He had been to Jiang's house once, one was to bring a letter to Zhou Zhifu, and the other was that Jiang Lanhe and Zhu Zhu'er were too close at that time. He felt the need to remind the boy that men and women should not kiss each other.
The time gap is not too long, and the little guy who received him at that time and the messenger today, although their appearance is different. But the clothes are the same, and the waist tags tied are the same, all of which have a unique logo belonging to the Jiang family.
For example, the three-color silk embroidered on the hem and neckline, such as the three bells decorated under the waist card, and the wooden hairpin pinned to the hair, are in the shape of an I-shaped horizontal.
"Lu Xiang, the villain was ordered by the head of the family to tell Baili Langjun that from now until the end of the spring half month, the young master has to stay at home."
"Well, I'm just about to go up to find worry-free, I can bring you a message."
Lu Weizhen came to find Zhou Zhifu, and he was with Baili Zhiheng, killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Lu Xiang."
Lu Weizhen was talking with the little guy, and Duanmu Yuhua and Wei Sique also rushed over.
King Nan'an decided to give her his personal guard, Duanmu Yuhua couldn't refuse, but it didn't mean that she just accepted her fate.
She seemed to accept the arrangement obediently, and King Nan'an and Yu Ying relieved themselves and breathed a sigh of relief. I just think that the girl is innocent and simple, and she is pitiful and cute.
In fact, she calculated the amount of medicine and went down to the meal, and the young guard would not wake up until at least the afternoon. During this time, she can just go out and do her own thing, but she still has to be careful and quietly.
She walked out with a catwalk, leaning against the corner. Just when she went out of the yard and closed the door, she felt that she was done. She turned around and saw a bystander, who had been standing at the entrance of the alley for an unknown amount of time.
“……”
In the face of the girl's questioning, there were even some angry eyes.
Wei Sique swore to heaven that he really went to find the king of Nan'an. But the little guy told him that Duanmu Qinghe was not there. The ghost sent the gods, he took a detour to the backyard road, and met the girl who sneaked out.
Wei Sique felt that even if he explained, the people in front of him might not believe it. After all, he provoked her first these three times.
And every time it was either in vain, or it left some worse impression on her, he didn't know how to face her.
“……”
Wei Sique coughed unnaturally, his face was impassive, and his voice was as cold as ice, just what he said?
"County Lord, there was a lot of offense yesterday. In order to make amends, the wontons sold at the bottom of Zuiyue are delicious, and I want to invite you to eat them again. ”
“……”
At this time, Mu Xihua was really stunned and shocked. Is it really that coincidental? After all, she was going to Zuiyue Tower to find Lu Weizhen, so he didn't have the ability to read minds? Or is it the kind that is tracked by thousands of miles?
Wei Sique also wondered, he followed her meaning, why did the girl's face become even more ugly.
Her mind turned a hundred times, so annoying, even if he really didn't lie, but can't he change the day!
Forget it, it's a big deal to finish eating wontons with him first, and wait for Wei Sique to be sent away. She went to wait in the private room where Lu Weizhen often stayed in Zuiyue Tower, and it was decided.
In this way, the two went to Zuiyue Tower together, but before they had time to eat wontons, they saw the young man in white at the door.
Nan Su told her that Lu Weizhen must come to Zuiyue Tower once a day, no matter when, this is also the reason why she can wait for the rabbit.
And because today is the last day off, she deliberately chose the day.
In fact, she just wanted to meet Lu Weizhen alone and ask him something. About the bone whistle, about the Lu family, about Qingye, about the theft of the Wei Mansion......
Duanmu Yuhua didn't want to make a noise at all, let alone bring anyone else.
But fate will be like this, and people are not as good as heaven.
The enemies are very red when they meet, Wei Sique and Lu Weizhen must pinch each other when they meet. However, the girl was present, and they could only look like they were safe.
Between the eyes meeting, the young man in white raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was full of smiles.
"What a coincidence, Your Majesty." Are you sick and can't understand people? Approaching her again.
Wei Sique understood what he meant, and nodded calmly.
"Well, what a coincidence." You only said that you would not let me talk to her, and you did not say that you would not let me find her.
"Huh." Dog stuff, you wait.
"Huh." Oh, your mask will fall off.
Duanmu Xihua: "? ”
What's going on? When did the atmosphere between them become so anxious and weird?
Lu Weizhen turned his gaze at the right time and looked at the girl. His eyes were sparkling, and his voice was soft.
"County Lord, Xi Hua. Are you going to do something with you? ”
The girl shook her head.
"Lu Er, Xiang, I'm here to find you, and I want to talk to you about something."
She was almost about to say that she was a Lu Ergou, but she bit her tongue.
The young man in white nodded, looking at Wei Sique with a playful look.
"That's it, so I don't know what your lord is?"
Wei Sique was hurt because both of them had expressed their expulsion from him.
"It suddenly occurred to me that I also wanted to talk to Lu Xiang about something."
"Your Majesty."
The two spoke in unison.
Lu Weizhen said clearly in his eyes - what the hell do I have to talk about with you?
Duanmu Yuhua's eyes were full of anger - I knew you had other plans for approaching me.
Wei Sique: "......"
It must have been because I didn't get enough sleep, so I had a delusion. In the current scene, these two are very much like husband and wife, and he is being mixed doubles by them.
If he had been more interested, he should have turned away by now.
"What did Lu Xiang do when he came to Drunken Moon Tower."
"See friends."
"Friends? Lu Xiang, remember what His Majesty told us. ”
The task assigned to them by Duanmu Qingjia was to find Zhou Zhifu, the crown prince of Dongyang, which was also what he had to deal with when he came to Zuiyue Tower today.
Wei Sique continued to ask the girl instead.
"County Lord, do you remember the son who asked you for directions to the Baili family yesterday?"
Micro?
Okay, why do you suddenly talk about him?
"The county lord, he is Zhou Zhifu, the prince of Dongyang, and his small characters are declining. And the friend that Lu Xiang is going to see today is him. ”
Duanmu Yuhua was not too surprised, she had doubted his identity. Shi Wei said that Baili Zhiheng was his cousin and wanted to come to him.
Although the surname Zhou is common in Beixiang, the roots of the Baili family are rooted in Dongyang. Although they moved to Beixiang, other relatives did not come with them.
"The assassin is a man of the land phase, and so is the prince of Dongyang. Even the king of Nan'an and the county lord, you, also chose to help Lu Xiang. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm here, naturally, to welcome the prince into the palace."
"Heh, if you have the Praetorian Guard behind you, you can still be trusted. But now that you're alone, why do you think you can take him from my hands? ”
"With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he wants to enter the palace by himself."
The white-clothed young man's face changed slightly, and Wei Sique continued.
"Since you also said it, I alone cannot forcibly take the prince away from you. So what are you afraid of? It's better to go and verify it together, and then you will know if what I said is true or false. ”
After a moment of silence, the three of them went in together. Baili Zhiheng and Zhou Zhifu were already sitting at the table, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting.
The jackdaw is black, and the graceful son has an elegant smile.
"Fusu, Mingzhu, and Brother Wei, come and sit."
Lu Weizhen first relayed the words of the Jiang family to Baili Zhiheng, and then asked.
"Your Highness, what the hell is going on?"
Zhou Zhifu took his words.
"If it is just because the little son of the Jiang family can't come out, he can still ask Mingzhu to help. But yesterday, Jiang Ruyu, the head of the Jiang family, had already sent someone to the Baili family. ”
Jiang Ruyu said that the Jiang family would not help in this matter.
"Yes, I can't borrow the Jiang family to transport grain and grass."
Has anyone warned the Jiang family, is it Duanmu Qingjia?
"The head of the Jiang family told me that Emperor Yuande was looking for three things."
"The first is a key that can unlock the wealth of the world. It is made by grinding powder from corals in the East China Sea and pearls from mussel shells. ”
"The second is a book of prophecy made of deerskin that records the future direction of the Three Kingdoms."
"The third is the legendary Xuanyuan bow that Hou Yi shoots the sun. The building wood of weak water is used as the dry, and the horn of the imprisoned ox is the horn. The dragon tendon in Wuxi Leize is used as the tendon, and the dragon turtle of Taize is made of turtle glue. ”
"It is made of the silk of the Arctic ice silkworm and the lacquer of Yushan. It is made of the silk of the Arctic ice silkworm and the lacquer of Yushan Lacquer. ”
"The head of the Jiang family said that if I can hand over these two things to Emperor Yuande, the disaster of Dongyang can be solved. Not only that, but he will also leave the mastermind behind the scenes to me. ”
Wei Sique said suddenly.
"The sea of bitterness is endless, how can it be a boat. He's looking for a savior note and a Purdue knife. ”
"What is this?"
