Chapter 359: Eyes
(pink 1141 plus)
"Would you like to have two cups with this king."
"Ruo Jin's luck." Hearing this invitation, Du Ruojin was a little surprised, she couldn't refuse, the eyes that made people chill down her spine flashed in her mind, she was inquiring, her lowered eyes flashed, and she replied immediately.
Hearing his answer, Li Taifang raised his head and glanced at him, and then his gaze fell shallowly on the girl behind him, and after a slight pause, he bowed his head slightly with Li Ke and led the people away.
Everyone watched the backs of Li Tai and Du Ruojin disappear on the stairs, and then they looked at each other. Li Ke, who was hung there by Li Taigan, was not angry, and a few words of laughter broke the silence on the first floor.
Yi Yu's face remained unchanged, but she was a little confused in her heart, and she always felt that Li Tai had glared at her just now? Just thinking about it, I felt ridiculous, and I shook off the ridiculous thoughts in my head. Looking at the seal in his hand and then at the table of the Eight Immortals that had been fenced again, he complained in his heart that it was not the right time for Li Tailai, pursed his lips, called the attendant to bring a wet rag, and wiped the cinnabar on the seal.
Lu Zhi stood on the side and watched, his eyes flashed, and he didn't stop her, and when she put the seal into her purse, she said: "Mr. Du estimates that he won't be able to get down for a while, do you still want to stay to read calligraphy and paintings, if you don't see it, why don't we go back first?" β
"Then let's go back."
If Du Ruojin knew that he had gone upstairs with his front feet, and the remaining jade was taken away by Lu Zhi before he could leave a mark on the painting, I don't know how he would feel.
The Misty Pavilion Room
Du Ruojin followed Li Tai to the third floor, and as soon as he entered the room, he bypassed the screen and saw a table of banquets that had already been set up under the window, on which were all kinds of exquisite side dishes of the Tianwei Pavilion, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he was unclear about the purpose of Li Tai inviting him to drink so suddenly.
Li Tai sat down on the camel hair blanket on the side of the table, raised his hand to take the wine cup handed by the attendant who was kneeling at the corner of the table, and said to Du Ruojin who was standing on the side:
"Sit."
"Yes." Du Ruojin sat down opposite him in an orderly manner, staggered half of his body, and suddenly his throat itched, so he clenched his fist sideways and coughed lightly for a while, and waited for the feeling of tightness in his chest to subside slightly, before turning around and apologetically:
"Your Highness forgives your sins."
Li Tai listened to his muffled cough, took a sip of wine, and said, "Which bachelors are present at today's banquet?" β
"Back to His Royal Highness, it's Mr. Yu, Master Fang, Bachelor Yan and Bachelor Gai." Listening to what he asked, and then looking at the cold face of the person in front of him, Du Ruojin suddenly felt that his previous speculation was a little ridiculous, and it should be his illusion that he was stared at downstairs before.
"When did you get the invitation?"
"It should be the end of October." Du Ruojin replied one sentence at a time, half-bowing his head, guessing what Li Tai would ask next.
"Are you familiar with Lu Zhi?"
Du Ruojin's eyelids jumped, thinking that he had guessed something, and after straightening his complexion, he raised his head and said with a light smile: "Because of my father's relationship, I have known each other for a long time, but I have only recently become familiar with it." β
Li Tai didn't look at him, raised his hand, asked the attendant to pour the empty cup again, and said slowly with the sound of gurgling wine:
"The painting downstairs, this king accepted it."
When Du Ruojin heard this, she frowned secretly by turning her head and coughing, but she didn't doubt anything else, after all, it is very common for the masterpieces at the bachelor's banquet to be collected by the powerful after being rewarded. If it was any other painting, but this one was useful to him, and when he thought of this, he wondered: "But, but according to the rules of the bachelor's banquetββ"
"The king will let it be rewarded here for seven days." Li Tai brought the wine glass to his lips, seven days, this is the limit of what he can tolerate.
After seven days, the governor could not be violated, Du Ruojin bowed his head and replied: "It is really Ruojin's luck that this painting can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness." β
Unexpectedly, when this face-to-face conversation fell, a deep and drum-like voice sounded in his ears: "It's not in the eyes, it's an eyesore." β
Du Ruojin's gaze staring at the fruit plate froze, he suspected that it was tinnitus, raised his head, but was tightly caught by a pair of indifferent eyes, this time close, the things in those blue eyes, he saw it really, as if the most common reaction of a beast that was trampled on the territory in the deep mountains - it was a warning!
"Remember, this king does not like to see wise people doing foolish things."
With a "click", the base of the wine glass touched the edge of the table, Li Tai stood up, turned around and left expressionlessly, and the waiter who poured the wine hurriedly put down the wine jug and fell on the ground to send it off.
The room was quiet for a while, and the attendant slowly knelt up, looked at Du Ruojin who was stunned, and called, "Son? β
β...... Well, pour me a glass of wine. β
"Yes."
Starting with the wine glass, the taste of wine in the mouth, Du Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief, held his forehead, covered the complexity and surprise in his eyes, and after a while, Fang muttered:
"It's not a delusion... Heh..."
But everything that is good must be accompanied by some trouble, this is common sense. Lu Zhi once told him this sentence calmly, but he never said it, what should he do if he was warned?
Huaiguo Mansion to the Li Yuan
Yi Yu and Lu Zhi came back from the Tianwei Pavilion, and went to the small study in the courtyard, and on the way, the two talked more about today's bachelor's banquet, and when they returned home, they discussed the matter of Yu Shinan.
"Are you worried that you will be associated with Mr. Yu and King Wu?" After listening to Yi Yu's explanation, Lu Zhi confirmed, seeing her nodding, Fang shook his head and smiled, "Your head sometimes just thinks too much. β
Yi Yubian said: "Where is I thinking too much, don't you think it's a little strange that Mr. Yu suddenly opened his mouth to accept me as an inner protΓ©gΓ©?" At the banquet, she was stunned by this good thing, and she came back all the way, and she was already a lot more sober.
Lu Zhi stretched out his hand to stop her from explaining, and said quickly: "Don't you think that Mr. Yu is favored by King Wu and wants to win over our Huaiguo Mansion, so he starts with you." β
Not surprising that he guessed what he was thinking, Yi Yu wondered: "Don't you think so?" β
was asked by her, Lu Zhi looked at her with a strange expression, which made her frown, and then laughed.
"What are you laughing at, big brother?" The jade is inexplicable.
Lu Zhi laughed for a while, and then gradually stopped, and said: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, it seems that it is necessary for me to find a time to tell you about the relationship between Beijing and China - do you know what the relationship between Mr. Yu and our family is?" β
Yi Yu shook her head a little dumbfounded, the entire Lu family was an outlier in the history she knew, and she really didn't know what the relationship between the Huaiguo Mansion and the "Five Uniques" Yu Shinan was.
"The mother of the uncle's main room is the daughter of Mr. Yu." Lu Zhi said with a smile and deliberately awkwardly.
Yi Yu's mind turned around, and only then did he open his mouth wide, stretched out his hand to point at Lu Zhi, and said, "The eldest aunt is the granddaughter of Mr. Yu. β
It's been a long time, it's an in-law!
"In this capital, although there are parties, but the boundaries are not so clear, Mr. Yu is looking at it now, he has a lot of friendship with King Wu, but he is also the in-law of our Lu family, with this relationship, what is the need to win over the Huaiguo Mansion by recognizing you as a student? Regardless of whether Mr. Yu intends to participate in this partisan controversy or not, based on the knowledge of the eldest brother, whether in terms of character or literary attainments, he deserves the reputation of the 'Five Uniques'. Xiaoyu, you are arrogant and underestimate Mr. Yu. β
In the end, Lu Zhi's tone had become serious, and Yi Yu lowered her head when he said it, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed in her heart, obviously an old man she admired, but she didn't believe it first, what is this.
Lu Zhi saw that she was ashamed, and he didn't rush to comfort her, he picked up the hot tea brewed by Pingtong and blew it lightly, and the room was silent for a long time before he heard Yiyu whisper:
"Big brother, it's true that I'm thinking too much."
Lu Zhi understood her character of changing her mistakes and not bowing her head the most, and he was satisfied, but he took another cup of hot tea with a smile and pushed it in front of her.
The two siblings sat quietly and drank tea for a while, and Yu Yu's state of mind improved a little, and only then did he remember another incident.
"By the way, big brother, have you insisted on applying the snow refining cream?"
Lu Zhi cleared his throat and replied, "I'm using it." β
"Does it work?"
"Hmm."
"Is that box enough?"
"Well," Lu Zhi drank all the tea, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's time for lunch, in the morning, grandfather told us to eat together at noon, let's go to the front yard dining room." β
Yi Yu didn't notice that the topic had been changed, she was a little hungry, nodded, and went back to the room to clean her hands, ready to go to the front yard to eat.
A large family sat in the dining room, Yi Yu ate by himself, listening to the bickering between the Zhao family and the Dou family, Lu Zhizai was holding the bowl with a light smile, and the silver chopsticks were mostly sandwiched between the dishes between Zhao and Dou, and no one could see that he was serious about watching the excitement.
"That's it! There are so many words when eating. Old Man Lu interrupted when the two were arguing as usual, and of course the two daughters-in-law didn't dare to talk back, looked at each other, and honestly bowed their heads to eat.
"Lord, lord! Yangzhou has a letter! With a shout, the whole room turned their heads to look, and saw a steward of the house hurrying in.
"Smack!" Lu Zhongzhi was very strict with his subordinates, and when he saw that there was no rule, he immediately straightened his face, and the steward was also blind today, so he waved the letter in his hand and ran to the front of the dining table without knowing it, panting and saying:
"Yes, it's an urgent letter, there is a chapter!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhongzhi's face was still heavy, but he didn't care about him for the time being, reached out to take the letter, saw the urgent letter chapter on it, and tore it open in confusion to see, there were not a few words on a thin piece of letterhead, but after he read it, his brows furrowed.
The children and grandchildren at the table all paid attention to the old man's face, and seeing this, the bolder Lu Rongyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" β
Yi Yu swallowed a sip of soup she had just drunk, and saw Old Man Lu looking up from the letter, his gaze moving from her face to Lu Zhi's face beside her, and finally at the old 2 Lu Ronghe.
"Your concubine is pregnant."
