Chapter 123: Wrong Again
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Lu Zhiyuan smiled, "This Jinling realm really can't hide anything from Wei Gongzi, I haven't made a noise all the way, and you can actually know my whereabouts well." ”
Wei Xuan glanced at him, quite disgusted, "What you said looks like I deliberately sent someone to follow you." ”
"Isn't it?"
A faint voice sounded, Lu Zhiyuan looked over, looked at each other, and finally Wei Xuan lowered his eyes, "Naturally not, you also said that this Jinling realm is my place, and there are some things that I don't need to deliberately investigate, and someone took the initiative to tell me." ”
Lu Zhiyuan went all the way to the Jinling realm, his whereabouts have been low-key, and even in order not to attract attention, he only brought one of the most eye-catching entourage, he originally planned to go here to secretly investigate and have an understanding of this place, but he never thought that as soon as the carriage stepped into this realm, there would be accidents one after another, and the horse on the street a few days ago was crazy for no reason, and almost injured people.
His carriage had an accident while he was leaving the city, and he had no choice but to stay in the city for the time being and wait for a new carriage.
The carriage was not changed, but Wei Xuan came.
The Lu Mansion is the home of the nobles in Beijing, and the Wei family is a huge wealth in Jinling.
Wei Xuan was in poor health since he was a child, and Wei's father sought a cure for him, and later sent him to a hidden doctor in the mountains for treatment, and he was gone for a few years.
It's a coincidence, the seclusion of the divine doctor and the place where Lu Zhiyuan apprenticed are not far away, and the two are often arranged to go down the mountain to buy daily food, and after a long time, they have mixed up a bit of friendship. Life in the mountains is lonely, and the two reclusive old men will naturally not have nothing to play with them, so these two teenagers of the same age often meet and run out together.
After a few years of peaceful days, the Lu family came to pick up Lu Zhiyuan and left, and the Wei family also came to pick up Wei Xuan and left, and when they separated, the two officially knew each other's real names.
The Lu family is noble, Lu Zhiyuan naturally wants to take the road of officialdom, and the Wei family is in business, and Wei Xuan is bound to take over the huge foundation.
It's been many years since this moment, and now that I met in Jinling, Lu Zhiyuan saw his old friends again, and he couldn't help but think of a lot of past events, but he was a little emotional. But it's more complicated, he came to investigate the rampant illegal salt this time, and as soon as the front foot arrived, Wei Xuan knew that this was a coincidence.
And the Wei family has been entrenched in Jinling for many years, deep-rooted, this private salt is rampant to this point, what role does the Wei family play in it, and whether it is also inextricably linked.
"Zhiyuan, you look at me like you're looking at a prisoner." Wei Xuan raised his eyes and smiled lightly, there was something fierce in his smile, "Are you doubting me?" ”
"No, I just remembered what happened when I was a kid." Lu Zhiyuan's tone softened when he spoke, "I remember that at that time, you always pouted me to steal the master's wine and drink, so that I was found out when I turned around, and I had to be beaten." ”
Speaking of the old things, the tense taste in Wei Xuan's eyes just now suddenly dispersed, replaced by a heavy smile, "Then don't blame me, obviously you want to drink, I didn't steal wine and brew plums from my master to satisfy your hunger." ”
The two looked at each other, and after a moment they both laughed, and this smile gradually eased the embarrassment and strangeness that they hadn't seen for many years, as if they were familiar again.
Just as Su Jin came in with the brewed tea, Lu Zhiyuan took a sip of the teacup, and his brows furrowed, "This taste?" ”
"Familiarize yourself." Wei Xuan put down the teacup and said with a smile, "I have a new maid, and I can make good tea." ”
When they were in the mountains, although they were away from home, they were pampered and pampered, especially Wei Xuan, who grew up in the gold and silver piles, where to drink coarse tea, and brought a lot of good tea.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't drink much tea after getting acquainted with him, but both of them were people who were used to being served, and they were not good at making tea, so they drew gourds according to the introduction in the book, and every step was fine, but they could brew extremely unpleasant tea.
Later, when I returned to the Wei family, there were many maids in the family, and the skills of making tea were even more selective, so naturally I would never drink the tea that had been brewed bad.
Lu Zhiyuan smiled helplessly, "Where did you get such a maid?" He drank the tea, and the tea was not fragrant, but there was a faint bitter taste.
To be honest, he ruined this good tea, but he stared at the brewed tea leaves in the tea cup, and gradually became a little sad in his affection, and his Aunt Bai's craftsmanship seemed to be so bad.
Every time, Zhang Luo was full of interest to make tea with him, but every time he brewed the tea directly, and later avoided wasting good tea, he pretended to be delicious and drank it hard.
Thinking of this, the emotions in his eyes once again fluctuated deeply, lowered his eyes to hide it, and took another sip.
"You don't like the taste, do you?" Wei Xuan saw that he drank seriously, if he hadn't drunk the same tea himself, he would have wondered if Lu Zhiyuan's cup was better.
"No, it's unpleasant." Lu Zhiyuan put down the teacup and said lightly.
"It's hard to drink, and you're still drinking so vigorously." Wei Xuan glanced at him again, "My maid is very interesting, if you like it, I will give her to you." Let her make you tea every day. ”
"Such a good maid, you can keep it for yourself." Lu Zhiyuan glanced at him, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
Wei Xuan smiled, and while speaking, Su Jin entered the door again to remind that the meal was ready, and the two naturally moved to the dining room.
From listening to Song Pavilion to the dining room to passing by the tea room, Bai Zhi had just made tea, and she didn't dare to leave immediately, knowing that if she was not satisfied, she would have to brew it again.
The teahouse had to boil water all day long, and there was a charcoal fire in the road, so she sat close to the road to keep warm, the temperature was too low in winter, and it was cold everywhere.
It stands to reason that Jinling is a southerly place, and it is rare to have such a cold time, but this year seems to be very different, the weather is colder, and the snow is extraordinarily heavy.
Sitting by the fire, the warm feeling made people can't help but feel sleepy, so she dozed off, little by little.
The door of the tea room was open, and when Wei Xuan and Lu Zhiyuan walked by, they saw the maid dozing with her back to the door.
Lu Zhiyuan felt that this back was faintly familiar, so he stopped and looked, and Wei Xuan over there saw him suddenly stop, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, I fell in love with my maid, you didn't want it to give it to you just now." It's too late to regret it. ”
"Nonsense." Lu Zhiyuan retracted his gaze, and the two left.
Bai Zhi had a dream in which a man was looking at him, and that man had a very beautiful face, so that she wanted to drool when she saw it.
"You're so good-looking, can I kiss it." She asked shamelessly.
The man said angrily with a calm face, "Nonsense! ”
She thought, this person is good-looking, why can't he have a good voice.
The dream woke up like this, and when her eyes opened, she happened to hear the 'nonsense' in her ears, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while she couldn't tell whether it was in a dream or outside a dream.
She ran to the door and poked her head out, just in time to see the backs of Wei Xuan and a man, who had just walked around the corner when she looked over, only to see the black hair tied up high and the moon-white robe.
"What do you see?" The sudden sound of the voice pulled back her distant thoughts, and when she turned around, she saw Su Jin standing behind her.
"Ah, I'll take a look." She hurriedly straightened up and asked curiously, "Is Childe a guest today?" ”
"Well, it's an old friend." Su Jin nodded, looked at her and said, "If you're fine, go back first, I shouldn't need you today." ”
Bai Zhi naturally responded when she heard this, and when Su Jin was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something, stretched out her hand and pointed to an oiled paper bag on the table in the tea room and said, "There is some halva in there, you can take it and eat it." ”
After she finished speaking, she left, Bai Zhi turned around and went into the house to clean up briefly, then closed the door and left.
When she returned to the kitchen, the kitchen happened to be vacant, and as soon as she entered the door, she was stared at by many pairs of eyes, which made her really uncomfortable.
Shan Xing and Sister-in-law You were not there, only some maid women were left, and when they saw her come in, they all looked at her with a little curiosity in their eyes.
A vegetable washing girl in the kitchen was personally named by Wei Gongzi to make tea, and she still had something in her hand when she came back, and when she thought about it, she knew that it must be a reward from above, and she couldn't help but be envious and jealous.
The vial beckoned to her, and she walked over, pulled a stool and sat down, and opened the oiled paper bag, which was filled with five-color halva, which is a characteristic of Jinling. Ordinary people can make things, but the taste is very different. But since it was rewarded by Wei Gongzi, the taste should be no worse, so she took two pieces and stuffed them into the vial, "Taste it." ”
The vial's eyes were shining, he grinned and took it, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, and immediately smiled, "It's so sweet." ”
Bai Zhi also laughed, looked up at the many people in the kitchen and looked at them again, she was not a person who eats alone, so she said to the others, "There are many more here, you can also come and eat together." ”
Although the kitchen is also divided into several factions, most of them are children from a hard background, and being a maid is just a mix of food and clothing, and there is no deep hatred between each other.
Five-color halva is something that almost every family will make, which will make many people think of their family when they eat it, and for a while, there are many pairs of eyes that are obviously moved.
Bai Zhi thought about it, reached out and tore half of the oil paper, divided the halva into two halves, left half on the case, and gave the other half to the bottle, "I think of something, you go out with me." ”
The vial's mouth was full, and she pulled it out the door, and when they left, others began to come and eat the halva, and soon the little pile of halva was at the bottom.
And just after Bai Zhi and Xiao Bottler went out, a figure in the crowd turned around and left quietly.
