Li Linfu visited the Qinglou and never ordered a man. He was really curious about Xiao Jiangyuan's reaction, so he didn't order a lady for himself this time. Only a moment after he gave the order to go down, someone brought two men, one tall and one short.

The tall one is only in his twenties, with a very beautiful posture, good complexion, dressed in white, neither humble nor arrogant, and he looks like he is used to seeing the powerful.

The short one was still a child, no more than ten years old, not yet growing, and apparently a first-time visitor, helpless and reluctant.

The leading lady introduced with a smile: "Because the right minister came with distinguished guests, the slave family specially prepared the first person of our Langjun here-Mao Ying, and he is still not polite?" ”

The man named "Mao Ying" stepped forward, gestured as if it was the elegance brought by his bones, and bowed and said: "Mao Ying has seen the right minister, dare to ask this ...... What is the title of an internal officer? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't look at Mao Ying. Ever since the three of them entered the private room, she had set her sights on the short Xiao Langjun.

Seeing this, the leading lady hurriedly smiled: "Although our building is big, there are not many newcomers, and Xiao Langjun is even less." But since the guest has made this request, there is nothing that the slave family can't do, but this little Langjun has a bit of a strong temperament and has not yet been tamed. ”

As soon as the leading lady wanted to call the name of the short little gentleman, she saw the distinguished guest retract her gaze and smiled lightly at herself:

"I'm tired of the lady."

This is really the most gentle eviction order that the leading lady has ever received since she started her career. She didn't have anything to do, so she withdrew the money and closed the door.

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan's smile suddenly faded a little, Li Linfu felt very strange. He clearly saw that while she was looking at the little Langjun, the little Langjun also looked at her with wide eyes. As soon as he wanted to say something, he saw that Mao Ying was blocking in front of the little Langjun, and said apologetically: "He is seeing a guest for the first time tonight, and he won't know anything yet. When he knows, let him serve the distinguished guests, okay? ”

As soon as Mao Ying's words fell, she felt that her body was pushed. He turned his head to see that it was Xiao Langjun behind him who rushed to the delicate internal official and knelt down, crying: "Uncle! ”

There was silence in the private room.

Li Linfu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and Mao Ying, who had always been pampered and not shocked, was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the beautiful official frowned slightly and said:

"Why are you here?"

This time it was Li Linfu's turn to be stunned.

At first, he thought that either this Xiao Langjun recognized the wrong person, or that the way the men in this building accosted him was often so unexpected, no matter which one was very interesting. He was waiting to see how Xiao Jiangyuan gave feedback, but he didn't expect her to admit it?

She is a woman, what kind of uncle does she do?

Wait a minute...... Could it be ......

"Are you Lu Niangzi's nephew?" Li Linfu asked.

Lu Quan nodded.

Xiao Jiangyuan has never met Lu Yunniang's mother and brother and sister-in-law, and Lu Yunniang has never let her see her, but she has been in contact with this nephew who has embarked on the road of studying. Since Lu Yunniang's death, Xiao Jiangyuan has sent people to send a sufficient amount of wealth to the Lu family every month, not only does he never come to the door, he never asks and pays attention, and even Lu Quan is gone. But she didn't expect that in less than two years, she actually met him in the Qinglou.

Listening to Lu Quan, after Lu Yunniang died, no one could control his father. His father was addicted to gambling, and half a year ago he lost his official position due to gambling, which caused his grandmother to die of a sudden illness, and his mother also wanted to reconcile. My father didn't allow it, so he killed A-Niang in a fit of rage!

Lu Quan choked up several times and couldn't speak. Xiao Jiangyuan, this uncle, is like a god to him, but he is not familiar with it, so he does not dare to get close, and only relies on the sleeves around him. Maoying knelt beside Lu Quan, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly noticed something, immediately withdrew her hand, only took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and handed it to Lu Quan.

Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at Lu Ying lightly, and continued to look at Lu Quan: "What about your father?" ”

"The evidence is conclusive, and he has been executed."

So far, there is only one Lu Quan left in the Lu family. Although he is a good person, he has nowhere to go when he is alone, and when he encounters great changes, he has no desire to study. He used the money and silk given by Xiao Jiangyuan to collect the corpses of the whole family and bury them, and then wandered between the markets and never returned to the empty home. Because of the extraordinary shot at the time of the burial, he was targeted, in the end he was too immature at a young age, he was not only deceived of money, but also deceived people to a seemingly majestic but creepy place - East Palace.

"East Palace?" Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Linfu glanced at each other and said, "What are you doing with a teenager going to the East Palace?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Quan to answer, Li Linfu had already raised his forehead and spoke: "...... Naturally, let him be a eunuch. ”

Lu Quan nodded again and again: "Later, there was a eunuch named Li Fuguo, I don't know if he recognized me, and asked me how I fell to this point." I thought he wanted to save me, but I didn't want him to leave a 'light touch' and the person would leave. But just before the execution, he came back and got me here. ”

"How do you know the name of that eunuch?" Li Linfu suddenly asked, "Listening to your description, that Li Fuguo is also an official, and no one present will dare to call him by his name, even if you want him to save you and make friends with him at that time, he doesn't need to pay attention to you, right?" ”

Lu Quandao: "He took the initiative to tell me and asked me to remember this name." ”

"That's weird." Li Linfu looked at Xiao Jiangyuan, "When did you have such a ** character in the Inner Service Province?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan groaned: "In the entire Inner Service Province, there is not a single eunuch named 'Li Fuguo'. ”

Lu Quan hurriedly said: "Uncle, I didn't lie to you!" ”

"It's not that I deliberately brought you here, I was on a whim today, and I didn't even know that Lu Niangzi had a nephew." Li Linfu also said busily, "There are so many eunuchs in the Inner Servant Province, could you be mistaken?" ”

"No way. Although the roster of the Ministry of Internal Service has been renovated month by month, there are not many additions and deletions, and I have memorized it as early as thirty years ago. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I knew a little bit about the Inner Chamberlain, just looking at your expression, I would have thought that this was a normal thing. is worthy of being the first eunuch beside the saint, admire and admire. ”

"Mainly among the eunuchs, there are too few surnamed Li, so I naturally remember it clearly."

Li Linfu: "......"

"How long have you been here?" Xiao Jiangyuan asked.

Lu Quandao: "Xu is...... More than a month ......"

"Forty-nine days." Mao Ying suddenly spoke, "General Hui, he has been here for forty-nine days." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded: "In other words, he called this name, but he has not been registered, and he is a national surname...... Could it be that the prince gave the name? ”

Li Linfu thought for a while and said, "There is only this one possibility." The prince is not conspicuous on weekdays, and those who don't know think that the East Palace is just an ornament. Who is so capable that he can give him the surname Li and the name of 'Auxiliary Country', how much merit and hope does this have? Such a person is right under your nose, and you never know it? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to think of something: "How does he look?" ”

Lu Quan frowned: "It's not good-looking......"

Xiao Jiangyuan was silent, shook his head suddenly, and chuckled.

"I remember, you expelled your only apprentice from the sect and sent him to the East Palace." Li Linfu said suddenly, "If it were him, I wouldn't be surprised." What are you going to do now, but you want to vent your breath for your nephew? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan didn't answer, but asked Lu Quan: "What do you think?" ”

Lu Quandao: "My nephew doesn't dare to make trouble for my uncle. He...... It can be regarded as saving me once, although it is not good here, it is better than being a eunuch. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and Li Linfu couldn't help but laugh and coughed lightly.

Lu Quan didn't know why, so he was pressed by the neck and bowed down. Mao Ying also bowed: "He is unscrupulous, unintentionally gaffe, since the general is his uncle, he must not be blamed, right?" ”

Lu Quan is still young, although he knows what kind of place Qinglou is, and he also knows that if he lives here, he will be humiliated, but he still doesn't know what this shame means. Under the influence of Lu Yunniang, he was already a well-behaved and sensible child, but now after going through so much, he can still keep his true nature, which is also rare. Therefore, Xiao Jiangyuan not only did not blame, but also planned to protect Lu Quan instead of Lu Yunniang, so that he could say goodbye to suffering and hatred from now on.

Xiao Jiangyuan wanted to take Lu Quan away, Li Linfu could imagine it, but he didn't expect that she would want to take Mao Ying away.

"What are you...... Fancy it? Li Linfu looked incredulous, stepped forward, covered his lips and whispered, "Where is he better than a saint?" ”

"Nothing to do with saints." Xiao Jiangyuan squinted at his white clothes and lowered face, "The water of the waves is clear, you can wet me." ”

“…… What the? ”

"You Xiang can't even read Mencius, right?"

"I have read it...... Li Linfu Shi Ran said, "but who said that if you have read it, you must be able to memorize it?" I'm the prime minister. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan sighed lightly and shook his head: "His name has the meaning of transcending the world and having a noble character—isn't it interesting?" ”

Li Linfu looked at Mao Ying, and the corners of his lips raised: "Wearing a white dress in such a place and taking such a name, it immediately stands out from the crowd, which is very attractive, and it is also in line with the taste of those sour and rotten literati." Looking at your bearing, you must have a little talent, so you don't feel hypocritical and insulting? ”

Mao Ying smiled faintly: "The right minister has won the award, and Mao Ying's will be just some obscene skills for others to enjoy, where can I be called a talented learner?" ”

Although Li Linfu heard that something was wrong, he couldn't catch anything wrong, so he heard Xiao Jiangyuan laugh and said:

"Right Minister, he seems to be self-defiled, but he is actually sarcastic about you." Xiao Jiangyuan thought it was even more interesting, "The word '濯ying' is not a stage name, it's a real name, right?" ”

It was only then that Mao Ying glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan fixedly: "...... It's the word. ”

It's not a name, it's a word.

"That's right. Obviously unwilling, but helpless, clearly very close to Ah Quan, and want to protect him, after knowing my identity and relationship with Ah Quan, not only did he refuse to use this closeness to please me, but he was much colder to Ah Quan - what a contradictory person. Seeing the slight ripples in his eyes, Xiao Jiangyuan bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of trampling on other people's self-esteem." Taking you out of here is nothing more than repaying your kindness for Ah Quan, that's all. I have no right to change your lowly status, but if you wish, you will live in my house with Ah Quan in the future. Of course, I won't raise you in vain, you have to take care of Ah Quan's daily life for me. ”

Mao Ying hesitated for a short time: "That is the case, Mao Ying Xie General is very gracious." ”

After all, Mao Ying is the top brand in this Qinglou Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for Li Linfu's presence, just Xiao Jiangyuan's fresh face would have been able to spend a lot of money, and he really couldn't take it away for a while.

After being satisfied, Xiao Jiangyuan was much more relaxed. Outside the house, there was a burst of warbler singing, and she only heard one sentence clearly-

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen.

"Whose poem is this?" Xiao Jiangyuan asked.

Li Linfu must not know, Lu Quan didn't think about it for a while, so he heard Mao Ying say solemnly: "Mr. Taibai." ”

After a pause, Mao Ying said again: "Li Bai, Li Taibai." ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
