There were broken cups and pieces of porcelain on the ground, each with Mrs. Shi's anger, her hand clenched tightly and released, and the blood vessels under the white skin loomed.

"I really don't know how to lift!"

Steward Shi stood in the hall with low eyebrows, very careful and restrained, and the old lady behind the lady also became cautious.

After waiting for a while, the sound of Madame's breathing changed from thick to thin and even, and then the housekeeper said: "Madam, the Yuan family doesn't know how to lift, and it's useless for us to be angry, so it's better to find a way to solve it." ”

"Yes, ma'am, it's not worth being angry with them. ”

Mrs. Shi snorted coldly and asked slowly, "He said he was coming to the mansion tomorrow?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, that's good, he's not too young to be bold. She sneered.

The housekeeper said: "It's just a reckless boy, he will only bump into things when he encounters them, and if it sounds good, it is called backbone, and if it is unpleasant, it smells of milk and has not dried." ”

"Okay, I don't want to know what that young man is like, and I don't want to see it, didn't he say that he was going to the house tomorrow? Mrs. Shi waved her hand, as if to ward off the flies, but her expression was not as angry as before.

"Madame has a great idea?"

Mrs. Shi smiled, didn't answer, just said: "What is his Yuan family, if it was in the past, don't say that the young man came, even if Yuan Shoucheng came in person, I can still ignore them." It's just that this time is about to catch up with Taihu Lake Lu Gongzi, so I have some scruples......"

"Mr. Lu should be here in these two days, right?" she asked.

"These are the two days. The butler nodded.

"That's okay, Qing Zhuo is still in Beizong, but it's not in a hurry, it's close to home, and when Lu Gongzi arrives, let them meet at home, as long as there is no accident, the matter can be decided soon, after all, this is Your Majesty's connection, as long as the two meet, let Qing Zhuo take Lu Gongzi to Beizong to live for a few days, anyway, he is also going, and when they leave, the Yuan family will not be able to make any waves." ”

"So as long as it's these two days, it's good to ensure that the young man from the Yuan family doesn't come to the door. Madame concluded.

Steward Shi frowned: "But how can you keep him from coming to the door? This is the capital, you can't find someone to tie him up." ”

"Of course you can't take out that kind of means, okay, you don't have to worry about it, I'll go to see the master later, you, just prepare to receive Lu Gongzi." ”

......

......

Liu Wen's news was found very quickly, and only a few hours later, the matter about Shi Qingzhuo arrived on Yuan Lai's desk along with the piece of paper.

After reading these messages, Yuan Lai's eyebrows were also raised.

A few months ago, a big man from Taihu Lake arrived in the capital, and now the emperor has a banquet to entertain him, and he doesn't know what he said during the banquet, but he knows that His Majesty the Emperor has drawn a red line for Miss Shi Qingzhuo, the daughter of Shi Shangshu's family, on a whim, and intends to marry Miss Shi to a disciple of the big man in Taihu.

Although this red rope is far from being a marriage, it depends on whether the parties are willing or not, but after all, it is the Son of Heaven who is the matchmaker, and this matter is a foregone conclusion, only Shi Qingzhuo and the big man disciple meet, and if there is no problem, they will get married.

And counting the days, the disciples of Taihu Lake will come to the capital in a few days......

"So it's not the right time for me to come?" Yuan Lai's eyes widened, and his eyebrows almost fluttered.

"It should be. Liu Wen said expressionlessly: "At this time, if your fiancé appears in the eyes of the man in Taihu, this matter will be very bad, not only will the Shi family's face be damaged, but it will also make the emperor a little embarrassed." ”

"It doesn't make sense that they were going to marry my daughter-in-law off someone else without my consent. ”

"People won't reason with us. Liu Wen said lightly.

"Besides, this matter may not be more reasonable to outsiders. Liu Wen made up for it again.

Yuan Lai seemed to be very hurt, he covered his forehead and sighed, and suddenly asked, "What is Taihu Lake?"

"It's not just a place name, it's a sect, and it's a famous place both in the cultivation world and in the ears of ordinary people. Ordinary people call it Taihu Lake, while cultivators prefer to call it 'Zhenze', the most famous river of the Great Apocalypse. ”

"So the other party is a cultivator?"

"To be exact, it should be a very good practitioner. ”

"I remember, my fiancée is also a cultivator, right?"

"Yes, Miss Qing Zhuo cultivates in the Northern Sect Mountain Gate. ”

Yuan Lai laughed: "I was just about to take the Beizong exam, but I didn't expect her to be there." ”

"So...... What is the name of that guy from Taihu?" Yuan Lai finally asked this ultimate question.

Liu Wen didn't give a direct answer, just shook his head slowly, and said, "I don't know, I just know that it is the disciple of the big man in Taihu, and the big man has many disciples." ”

“......”

I don't know why, hearing the news, Yuan Lai suddenly felt a little sad for his fiancée who had never met and didn't know her temperament.

"What should I do?"

“...... It's better to explain this matter clearly, prepare some gifts, I'll go to Shi's house tomorrow to have a look, and I can't help but go after everything is said. Yuan Lai said sullenly, in a bad mood.

......

......

Yuan Lai woke up very early the next day, got up and dressed and ran around the surrounding streets and alleys three times, returned to the yard to wash off his sweat, changed into clean and herb-smoked clothes, ate a bowl of noodles sprinkled with coriander, and then took his subordinates out with gifts and went straight to Shi Shangshu's mansion.

Liu Wen was supposed to accompany him, but the shop suddenly had something to do and had to leave.

Yuan Lai and his party walked leisurely through several streets and alleys towards their destination, but when they turned a corner called Baihua Lane, they were stopped.

They were stopped by a group of soldiers, or rather the black-faced officer on horseback at the head. The officer had an extremely wide knife in his hand, and the scabbard was beautiful, black and heavy.

The black-faced officer pretended to unfold a piece of drawing paper he was carrying, there was a portrait of a person on the paper, he looked at the portrait and then at Yuan Lai, and then said coldly: "What's your name?"

Yuan Lai squinted, his heart had sunk, he knew that it made no difference whether he answered or not, because this trouble was coming for him.

As for why he is so sure, it is only because ......

"This military master, your portrait has been taken down. ”

......

The black-faced officer was extremely thick-skinned, and seemed to be deaf to Yuan Lai's kind reminder, but said, "Say it quickly!"

"Yuan Lai. ”

"That's right," he said with a straight face, "we suspect that you have something to do with a case, so please come with us." ”

After saying that, he waved his arms impatiently, and suddenly several soldiers took a step forward, staring coldly at the handsome young man who looked unaggressive in front of the team.
