Lord Taisun of the city mansion came as promised, and Steward Ma had already entered the back garden according to Master Lei's instructions. I saw that Master Lei and Mrs. Liu had already sat down at the table, and they saw Lord Sun from afar, and Master Lei and Mrs. Liu got up at the same time to greet each other, and sat down one by one.

Suddenly, the pavilion was lively, and the sound of persuasion and drinking was endless. Wine has passed three rounds, tea has passed five times. Master Lei wiped the tea foam sticky on his lips and said first: "Master Sun, since we are ministers of the same dynasty, the old man will not turn around and nag and go straight to the point." Regardless of whether this matter can be done or not, I ask for your understanding. Today, Lei invited Lord Taisun to come, and he really asked for something. It was the day before yesterday that Du Gongzi of Du Mansion committed the drunken theft of the Black Stone Qilin, and the old man heard that he had been convicted and sent to prison by Lord Sun, so he still hasn't been sentenced, right? Lei wants to buy a thin noodle from Master Sun, can he be tolerant and tolerant, eliminate the charge of Du Fu Du Gongzi and release him home? ”

Mrs. Liu heard Master Lei say so open-mindedly, and quickly got up and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Sun, I will bother you to bother to turn around, and exonerate this unscrupulous dog of my family. ”

Lord Taisun of this mansion was stunned for a moment, and he seemed to be taken aback when he heard it, and the teacup in his hand immediately trembled a few times, and the tea in the cup also overflowed a little. There was a changeable change of cloudiness and sunshine on his face for a moment, and then he pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying: "Xiangye Lei, Mrs. Liu, it's not that the lower officials don't exonerate Du Gongzi. In fact, Du Gongzi's suspicion is really big, and when he passed the court, the official still asked Du Gongzi to prove his innocence, but Du Gongzi just couldn't provide any evidence to prove that he had nothing to do with it. On the contrary, all the suspects' confessions pointed to Du Gongzi, and Du Gongzi could not refute them. Above the public court, in front of everyone's eyes, how can this allow the lower officials to exonerate him! Xiangye, Mrs. Liu, Xia Guan is really powerless. ”

"Oh, so there's such a thing in the hall? No wonder Lord Sun is selfless. Master Lei seemed to suddenly realize, and it seemed to be for Mrs. Liu. Then he shook his head, looked at Mrs. Liu, who was anxious, and said, "Mrs. Liu, you also heard Lord Sun's words, since your son-in-law can't prove his innocence in the lobby, then it's no wonder that Lord Sun judged it like this." For the sake of today's plan, if you want Du Gong to get out of prison safely, you have to think differently and fool the past to confuse the public is the right way. If not, it is a sure fact, but Du Gongzi is really inevitable. ”

At this time, Master Sun also squinted at Master Lei, who seemed to be a loyal person, and couldn't help but secretly hate in his heart: You can act? forced our grandson to follow you to make a tiger swell, and do some things that hurt the heavens and reason. If it weren't for worshipping under your master's door, Lao Tzu would have turned against you a long time ago, do you still need to be so servile and humble for you? Driven by your yelling? But Master Sun still said with a sad expression on his face: "Thank you for your understanding, the lower officials are grateful." In this way, it is just bitter for Du Fu, the son and brother with fine skin and tender meat. ”

Mrs. Liu was in a dizzy place, listening to the conversation between Master Lei and Master Sun singing and harmonizing again, the broken heart in her stomach seemed to be worse, cold and cold. At that moment, he hurriedly begged Master Lei loudly: "If there is a way to save my son from prison, the reward is decided by Master Lei himself, and the Du family has nothing to do." ”

As soon as Mrs. Liu said this, Master Lei suddenly glanced at Master Sun anxiously, with a rare strange smile on his face. Immediately got up and walked to Lord Sun's side, patted Lord Sun's arm, took Lord Sun's hand, walked to the lotus pond by the pavilion and said slowly: "Lord Sun, the old man has something to ask you, can you answer a question or two for the old man." ”

Master Sun didn't know what Lei Xiangye meant in his heart for a while, and hurriedly replied: "Xia Guan is willing to explain a little bit for Lei Xiangye, but he doesn't guarantee that it will meet Lei Xiangye's appetite, so he has to dare to ask Xiangye to show it." ”

Master Lei smiled slightly and said no more. He picked up a handful of fragrant bait next to him and threw it into the pool, and the goldfish in the pond immediately surrounded him, snatching the bait, and they didn't give in to each other, making a mess. They also crackled and slapped together, and from time to time splashed small splashes.

Master Sun and Mrs. Liu looked confused on the side, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Master Lei's gourd, so they had to watch blankly and remain silent.

Master Lei completed these actions in a row, and then turned around and smiled slightly: "Lord Sun, the old man just sprinkled a handful of fishing bait in the pool, and the goldfish in the pool were in a mess. Can you tell which goldfish in the pond ate the bait? Even though the goldfish grabbed the food in its mouth, it didn't eat the bait? ”

Master Sun was stunned at this time, and immediately fell there stupidly, staring at him and unable to answer. He never thought that Lei Xiangye would come to such a ruthless hand, isn't this embarrassing? A group of fishers grabbed food, and they were jumping around, who do you say knew that the fish could grab the food, and the fish couldn't grab the food?

Mrs. Liu was also dumbfounded, and was immediately stunned, looking speechless and embarrassed.

However, I saw Master Lei smile contemptuously and said, "Lord Sun, Mrs. Liu, don't say you can't remember, the old man can't remember either." What you are seeing now is not the same fact, but it seems to be the same result. Why? Because this group of goldfish and fishery-dragons are mixed, jumping around, and messing with people's ears and eyes. You think this goldfish grabbed the bait, but it didn't. Or maybe it's only half eaten and it's being eaten by other goldfish. And we think that the goldfish that can't grab the bait objectively grabs the bait. This is what we call grafting, and it is difficult to argue whether it is true or false. If Lord Sun also compares Du Gongzi's case to this way, then the truth and result of the matter may be different, and it will not make Lord Sun in a dilemma. Although the old man said so, I don't know if Master Sun has another understanding of this? ”

As soon as Master Lei's words fell, Master Sun immediately patted his head and smiled bitterly: "Ha, ha, Lei Xiangye's approach is really far-sighted and unpredictable." Xiaguan finally understood what Xiangye meant, this Du Gongzi's affairs will not worry about Xiangye, and after Xiaguan returned to the house, he immediately promoted the case to the court and let Du Gongzi go back to the house. ”

Mrs. Liu immediately heard what Master Sun said, and then thanked her. "Thanks to the help of the two masters, Du Fu must be grateful and unforgettable. If the old man asks for something, the old woman will not allow it. ”

At this time, Master Lei smiled even more happily: "Mrs. Liu's words are serious, since Master Du is a minister in the same court as the old man, how can he repay his kindness, it's just a gesture, it's irrelevant." After that, the conversation changed and continued: "As far as the old man knows, the 'Qin and Chess Festival' held by the Gao Wangfu this autumn is coming, and I don't know how the piano master of the Du Mansion is prepared. If Mrs. Liu insists on thanking the old man for saving her son, can you transfer Dong Yanzhi from your mansion to Lei Mansion for a few days, and the old man hires another master to train her, and our Du Lei two families are combined into one, and the thrust assists Dong Yanzhi to win the crown of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' in Gaowangfu this autumn. and received the reward and favor of the lord of the country, that is the glory of our Du Lei and the two mansions, the icing on the cake, a beautiful thing. ”

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say. If she is in Du Mansion, she is easy to say and does what she says, but this Dong Yanzhi is a living and stunning woman, how can she obey her words and follow the orders of her Mrs. Liu? It's been half a year since she came to Du Mansion, what kind of person is she Dong Yanzhi, isn't it clear to her Mrs. Liu? This Master Lei is really wonderful, the pot is not opened, but she wants Mrs. Liu to mention the pot! So it is normal for Mrs. Liu to have such an excessive reaction for a while, after all, although Lei Xiangye's proposal is good, she does not dare to guarantee that Dong Yanzhi will obey the arrangement.

At the moment when Mrs. Liu was in doubt, Master Lei seemed to see through Mrs. Liu's thoughts. He chuckled and said, "If Mrs. Liu has any doubts in her heart, the old man will not be difficult." Let's leave it at that, and we don't have to take care of Lord Ge Sun anymore. ”

Lord Sun also urged at this time: "Mrs. Liu, you saw it. Lei Xiangye has already put his heart on us to save Du Gongzi, why should you worry about anything? Besides, Lei Xiangye just proposed that the two families be merged into one, and there were no special conditions attached. Xia Guan thought that there was Lei Xiangye as a guarantor, and there must be Dong Yanzhi who won the championship of this autumn's 'Qin and Chess Festival'. Such good things can be seen in front of you, I don't know what Mrs. Liu is still worried about? ”

After the persuasion of Lord Sun, Mrs. Liu muttered and hesitated a few times in her heart, raised her eyes and looked at Du Ruxian who was standing beside her, and felt that Dong Yanzhi was also of such an age, there should be nothing to refute and excuse, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded without hesitation, and promised to inherit the masterpiece of Master Lei.

When Master Lei saw that Mrs. Liu finally agreed to his proposal, he felt a little happy and happy in his heart. He smiled happily and said, "Mrs. Liu, how can the matter between our two governments be agreed like this." After that, you sent Dong Yanzhi to the house, and the old man went to the world to find a famous teacher. ”

Once again, Mrs. Liu replied loudly without hesitation: "Well, all the arrangements of Master Lei in the Du Mansion." ”

Lord Sun on the side suddenly congratulated loudly in surprise, "Congratulations to Xiangye, Lei Mansion has added another stunning pianist, Dong Yanzhi will definitely win the crown at the 'Qin and Chess Event' of Gaowangfu and shine." Add autumn colors to Lei Mansion and recreate brilliance. Du Mansion will also be blessed with bathing, prosperous, the king's order shines, and the fragrance will be left for eternity. ”

Suddenly, there was a smug smile on Mr. Lei's face. Master Lei pretended to be flattered and said: "Master Sun is too famous, and the matter has not yet reached that point, so why not win the championship." You, thank you Mrs. Liu, if it weren't for Mrs. Liu's agreement to merge the two families into one, the old man would not dare to have illusions about Dong Yanzhi's natural voice and stunning piano, chess, and music skills in Du Mansion. Now, I have to move the old man's old man's bones again. ”

When Lord Sun heard this, he pretended to be a promise and said, "Oh, it seems that of course we should thank Mrs. Liu for her deep understanding of righteousness. Mrs. Liu, someone Sun admires and admires you here. ”

Although Mrs. Liu was also full of laughter and joy, her heart was like fifteen buckets upside down, and there was an uproar and clanging. A pair of lifeless eyes stared straight out of the garden, bewildered. She didn't know whether she should present herself as a winner or as a loser at this moment.

Anyway, she suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless quagmire, like a weak fawn hunted by a lasso, helpless, unable to break free, unable to escape, only waiting for the fate of being hunted.
