Saying that, a sinister smile flashed across Master Lei's face, and a vicious plan flashed in his mind. He was plotting, how could he take away the luthier who was so delicate in Du's Mansion and use it for his own use? Even if you use all your tactics, or do whatever it takes. Then he no longer has to worry that the laurels of the "Piano and Chess Festival" will not fall into his pocket, and together with the reward of the current lord, he will also give it to his own mansion.

Thinking of all this, about to come with a effortless and beautiful result, Lei Wenxiang's face unconsciously showed a few weird smiles, which extended to the earlobe.

Lei Tianyi stood aside and stretched his neck and asked, "Dad, what are you laughing at?" Our family has no hope of winning the championship, you are not in a hurry, and you are still blindly smirking, are you crazy or really stupid. The look in his eyes was astonishing.

"It's a strange thing, Dad is not crazy, and he is not stupid. Dad was just thinking that if the Du family's pianist could invite the fuzhong to use it for me, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. First, it has fulfilled what you think in your heart, and secondly, you also have hope for winning the championship in the piano and chess event, do you say that this is a great thing? Lei Xiangye quietly said the words in his heart, as if he didn't take what Lei Tianyi said seriously at all, as long as he Lei Xiangye made a move, it seemed that there was nothing difficult for him in the world.

"Dad, if it can be so good, the child is just afraid that his father will not be able to do it, and besides, our family has not yet reached the point of falling out with the Liu family, so why bother to set up one more political enemy in the capital for a small piano and chess grand crown." Lei Tianyi said with some worry, and from time to time he blinked his eyes and looked at Lei Xiangye on the side.

"I don't have to worry about you, do you still believe in your father's ability? If you can't even handle this little thing, how can you mix and enjoy in today's holy pilgrimage. Don't worry, Dad will be able to plan this matter, just wait for Daddy's good news. Lei Xiangye said calmly and chicly as if he had made a promise of life and death to his son.

Lei Tian couldn't persuade his father for a while, so he had to look at him slyly, and a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he shook his head, hummed all the way, and walked into his West Garden courtyard without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiangye even his own son snubbed him like this, and his heart sank, and he didn't say much to blame. Just turned around and ordered the subordinates who were still standing on the side to disperse, and he also carried back to the study on the left, and closed the two carved doors with his hands. When the mouth was blown, the lights went out, and there was darkness all around.

The next day, the sun rises in the east, the morning sun curls, the whole vibrant late summer and early autumn, very beautiful, the sky and the earth are peaceful, peaceful.

Lei Tianyi got up early in the morning today, washed up and hurried away. The evening was as depressed as yesterday, as if I had lost my soul and was listless. No one knows what he did that day, but he still lives the life of his son-in-law, and he will not be affected in the slightest because of his bad mood.

Master Lei seems to be only concentrating on his 5-to-9 official career, and has long forgotten what the father and son talked about yesterday. For the matter of the Dufu violinist in front of Lei Tianyi, he didn't say a word, and the playboy Lei Tianyi was really a monkey anxious living treasure, seeing the fox spirit like the old man didn't say a word, he dared to mention this matter, isn't this to suffocate him alive and be anxious?

Who knew that the more anxious Lei Tianyi was, the more his father would be so laissez-faire and ignore it. For three days in a row, the father and son seemed to deliberately avoid this topic, and they didn't even say a word to greet each other. There seems to be a mysterious weirdness between the eyebrows, which makes people quite guessable. But at this time, the father and son are like hide-and-seek, you don't speak, I don't speak, silence is the most worrying torment.

It wasn't until the fifth day that it was just a little brighter. Lei Xiangye sent a housekeeper to pick up Lei Tianyi, who was still asleep, and said with a mysterious smile: "Son, today Dad will take you to a good place." Haven't you been thinking of a way to go to Dufu's house to meet the female pianist named Dong Yanzhi? Daddy will take you over now and make your dreams come true. ”

Lei Tianyi was still intoxicated between half dreaming and half waking up, and when he heard his father say this, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and his heart in the drowsy dream had already woken up for more than half of it. While shrugging his head, he asked, "Dad, what you said is true?" He looked suspiciously at the freshly lit sky outside the hall. I wondered, did the sun come out in the west today, when did my father think about me like this.

In the morning, the gate of the Du Mansion was already half open, and two or three old servants in front of the door were busy cleaning the fallen leaves and dust in front of the steps. Under the command of the housekeeper, the servants in the house performed their duties and were busy, just like a picture of spring plowing and early spring.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu was sitting upright on the master's chair in the center of the living room, and was just about to instruct Steward Wu about the affairs of the day. Suddenly, a small guy came to report with a post: Master Leiwen Xianglei in the city came to visit at noon with his son Leitian today. Ask the lady how to arrange it, see it or not?

Steward Wu took the greeting sticker handed over by the little servant, returned his hand and motioned for the little servant to step back, and immediately asked: "Now that the master is not at home, it is not easy for the subordinates to make their own decisions." Madame, you see? Do you see this Lei master? Although our family and him don't have much intersection, but the eldest son Du Qingfeng and his son Lei are familiar with each other, I heard that a few days ago the eldest son almost had a quarrel with Lei Gongzi in the back garden, and now Master Lei is visiting, I don't know if it's because of this? ”

Mrs. Liu sighed before she said slowly: "Now that the master is not at home, Qingfeng's child is a troublemaker, although we have little contact with the Lei family, but for the sake of the face of the lord and the courtiers of the same dynasty, we still have to meet this Lei master anyway." After all, they are the deputy prime ministers of the dynasty, and no matter what their purpose is, if they can deign to come, how can we be rude. ”

"I'll order you to go down, tell your subordinates to make more preparations, and then I'll meet this Master Lei with Mrs. Liu." Steward Wu then said, and the posture of exiting the hall was ready under his feet.

"Steward Wu also instructed the maid-in-law to take good care of the sons and daughters of each courtyard, so that the distinguished guests can meet at any time. You can go down and watch the rest, and just assign it according to your daily needs, and you don't have to look at me for everything. After Mrs. Liu added these incidents, she thought about it and felt that there was nothing more to explain, so Steward Wu turned around and retreated.

At noon, the sun is bright and warm. In front of the gate of Du Mansion, two large carriages with fine workmanship and rich carvings have been parked, and two people sit on the carriages, one old and one young. The old man in brocade clothes and silk is the big man Lei Wenxiang of Lei Mansion, and the young man in brocade clothes is Lei Tianyi, the two of them got off the carriage respectively, and walked together towards the gate of Du Mansion.

In front of the living room, Mrs. Liu saw Steward Wu with an old man and a young man entering the mansion from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Rare guest, rare guest, Master Lei is coming to our mansion, I apologize for missing the welcome!" The women are shameless and virtuous, and this is not a courtesy. ”

Master Lei laughed and said, "The old man took the dog to your mansion, and if you are disturbed, please ask Mrs. Liu to do more." Where do you dare to bother Mrs. Lao Liu to greet her in person, I am really guilty. Come, come, Mrs. Liu, the old man is anti-guest, please take a seat. ”

"Hey, Master Lei is polite. Isn't it the splendor of the wall of the shed, and the sun and the moon to shine. Master Lei doesn't have to be polite, just when the little woman is a smart lady who doesn't know how to entertain distinguished guests, and asks Master Lei to pack a lot of letters in anticipation, Steward Wu, hurry up and serve tea, don't snub the rare guests. Mrs. Liu greeted Master Lei's kind words for a while, and only after the guests and hosts were seated in the hall did she urge her subordinates to serve tea quickly.

After three rounds of wine and two teas, Mrs. Liu picked up the topic and said: "As the saying goes, nothing is to go to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know if Prime Minister Lei visited Du Mansion this time, what important things to discuss or trust, or what other special things." Let's let the little woman hear it, so that she can know a little bit about it and make plans in advance. Mo panicked and didn't know what to do. ”

"Hey, Mrs. Liu is too worried, the old man has no important matters to discuss or entrust, let alone special things to explain. It's just that a few days ago, I heard from my son that all the green chrysanthemums in the back garden of your house are open, and the garden is full of golden, which is very beautiful. You know that I have a love for chrysanthemums, so I came to watch it uninvited, and I hope Mrs. Liu will not be surprised. Master Lei suddenly looked at Mrs. Liu with a teacup and replied sincerely, looking honest, it really made people not see a trace of bad ideas hidden in his heart.

Mrs. Liu pretended to laugh and said: "Since Master Lei has the heart to appreciate the chrysanthemum and love the chrysanthemum, and it is not harmful, of course, the women's family is the door of convenience, and the friendship of the landlord is done." It's just that it's the late summer and early autumn in this garden, the wind is strong and cool, and on the pavilion, Master Lei is not timid. ”

Lei Tianyi on the side hurriedly replied: "If there is no early autumn season, how can there be golden chrysanthemums." My father is a person who loves chrysanthemums and is not afraid of this autumn high and cool festival, Liu Fu is too worried, you just have to rest assured, I will keep my father will not make a mess when he visits the garden to enjoy the flowers. ”

Master Lei immediately glanced at Lei Tianyi, and seemed to blame him for talking too much, so he hurriedly said: "Tianyi is right, the old man is not hindered by these cold seasons, just watch the flowers and appreciate the chrysanthemums." ”

"That being the case, then bother Master Lao Lei to move to the back garden to watch the flowers and enjoy the chrysanthemums. Steward Wu, you take someone to go first and then spend the flowers, and I will arrive later. Mrs. Liu said without prevarication, and told Steward Wu about the future.

A group of people in the back garden of Dufu were wandering in the middle, and the first master Lei seemed to introduce to Mrs. Liu the various chrysanthemums blooming in the garden, and from time to time chanted a sentence or two related chrysanthemum poems; From time to time, I also boasted to Mrs. Liu that the chrysanthemums in the garden were so classic. provoked Mrs. Liu to praise Steward Wu from time to time, housekeeping is methodical and well-governed. Steward Wu, who was so happy that his beard was full of tears and excitement, was full of tears on the spot. Lei Tianyi was even more sweet-tongued, and praised it with oil and vinegar, and he was also happy that the subordinates who followed Du Fu were all refreshed, ethereal, and imaginary.

At that critical moment, Lei Xiangye suddenly changed his arrogant tone and sighed dejectedly: "Today, the old man is fortunate to be able to watch the famous flowers of your mansion, but it is a pity that the joy of silk and bamboo of the ancients is missing." Thinking that Tao Yuanming can still not tear down his waist for five buckets of rice, he can still live the pastoral life of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan', which is really an old man! Although the old man Lei Wenxiang has the bearing and power, he can't be happy for this, which is really ashamed. If you get the sound of the strings outside the day at this time, accompanied by the sound of the beautiful prostitute and singer, wouldn't it be the blessing of the old man and Mrs. Liu. It's a pity that this matter is difficult to achieve, and it is difficult to fulfill my wish. Mrs. Liu, don't blame the old man for talking too much, this is really a pity. ”

Mrs. Liu was immersed in the boasting of Master Lei, and there was still the mind to discern the hidden meaning of Master Lei's words. Hurriedly said: "Master Lei, there is no need to sigh like this. This matter is not difficult, my little girl is nearby, and she has practiced a little bit of silk and bamboo piano music, how about inviting me to play a song for Master Lei? ”

Master Lei pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said in surprise: "Mrs. Liu, you can't do anything about this." The old man heard that the third lady of your family not only has a delicate and transparent life, with fat skin, and looks like a sinking fish and geese who are shy of flowers and moons, but also plays the piano well and plays the strings well. How dare the old man come to the door without the permission of Master Du? If this matter spreads, wouldn't outsiders laugh at the old man taking advantage of Master Du's lack of power for personal gain, and oppressing people with power. If that's the case, the old man still has the face to see the world. ”

When Mrs. Liu heard Master Lei say this, she seemed to be thinking about her daughter, and she couldn't help but feel a little praise in her heart. I secretly thought that this old man Lei was not necessarily as treacherous and cunning as rumored outside, where could I see a little bit of villain's ambition. At this time, the taut string in Mrs. Liu's brain finally burst into Master Lei's face. She smiled and said, "Master Lei has won the award, how good are the three girls in my family?" It's all about the ignorant people in the house chewing their tongues around the root of their tongues. Today, it is also appropriate to let the three girls come out to play a song for Master Lei, first, to let Master Lei have the wish of the ancients to appreciate chrysanthemums, and second, to let Master Lei guide from the side. It's all a matter of joy, so why not! Master Lei, don't worry, my lord is not so stingy, I will send someone to ask my three girls to come out and play a song for you. ”

Lei Tianyi heard Mrs. Liu say this on the side, and hurriedly gave his father a hard look, for fear that his father would rub the topic away again, and he couldn't help but secretly sweat in his heart, but his palms were unconsciously tied to his fists. Daddy, you've been prided for so long, and this time you've finally got the idea. It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and the old fox is really extraordinary when he makes a move. Unexpectedly, he let others use the idea he was thinking about without a trace, and he was willing to use it unconsciously in the center.

A hint of sly joy flashed on Lei Tianyi's face, and he couldn't help but look at the small courtyard gate in the garden, as if he wanted to tear the courtyard gate hard, and at a glance he could see the woman who had fallen like a fairy that day.

，

Master Lei pretended to be serious admiring a yellow chrysanthemum in full bloom, and his eyes were also confused over Mrs. Liu's face, and a wild smile and a hideous smile appeared in his heart.
