Chapter 291: Whitewashing the Peace
readx;? Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, this year is undoubtedly a year full of crises for the Holy Domain Court, but for the ordinary people of the Holy Domain, this year is no different from the usual, there are still people laughing and some people worrying in the ordinary life, and at the end of the year, there are still a few happy and a few worried. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the imperial capital of the Holy Land, Jinling City has neither any natural disasters nor nothing this year, so now that the New Year is approaching, every household in Jinling City is still full of lanterns, lanterns are hung high, and the streets and alleys, wine shops, tea shops, temples and pavilions are full of a festive and auspicious atmosphere.
At the end of the year, not only the ordinary people will be overjoyed, but even some small officials and local city troops who are not involved in the government and the opposition are also very happy. Before and after the New Year's Festival, the temple fairs and bazaars in Jinling City can be said to be innumerable, the people of Jinling City and even the nearby villages and towns will come and go in the major temple fairs, day and night are full of people, crowds of people, so lively.
In these temple fairs and bazaars, you can often see the shadows of some officials and city soldiers, and the so-called fun with the people probably means this.
In the Jinling City Army, the two sons of the Lu family, Lu Jun and Lu Wencai, after a year of training, the results of the two were very different.
Lu Jun is motivated, practical and reliable, coupled with his upright and fair personality, so although he is a newcomer who has just entered the city army for less than a year, he has now sat in the position of deputy general of the Jinling City Army battalion, and he can hold an important position at a young age, I don't know how many others envy him. Of course, Lu Jun's ability to do so well in the city army is not only his own ability, but also naturally indispensable to the help of his family background, after all, the well-known name **** Qian is placed there, and if there is any opportunity for promotion in the city army camp, it is natural to pay attention to these powerful sons first.
But relatively speaking, Lu Wencai, who is also a child of the Lu family, is far behind, he is still just an idle job after a year in the city army camp, and being a monk for a day is the best portrayal of Lu Wencai in the city army camp. In short, all relevant derogatory terms can be used on Lu Wencai, sleeping until three poles a day, going out to patrol with Lu Jun when he is in a good mood, and hiding in the bed to sleep in a bad mood, or he will study some of his favorite gadgets every day, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a typical son-in-law, but because of his identity there, and with Lu Jun's protection, no one dares to say Lu Wencai's gossip.
Now that it is the New Year's Festival, no matter how the emperor and the four holy kings above the court are trembling and how they can't sleep at night? These are really too far away for the city army at the bottom.
Therefore, today, the Emperor and the Four Great Saint Kings listened to the news from the Northern Xinjiang with a heavy heart in the Golden Palace, and personally interrogated those beast masters who were arrested. And ordinary people are preparing to celebrate the New Year's Festival. Lu Jun and Lu Wencai don't care much about the major affairs of the DPRK and China, and they are now having a strong flavor of the year, so under Lu Wencai's great efforts, Lu Jun also took a rare day of relaxation, put down the military affairs in his hand and was pulled out by Lu Wencai to visit the temple fair.
Early in the morning, Lu Wencai pulled Lu Jun out, originally Lu Jun was accompanied by guards, but all of them were sent back by Lu Wencai, which made Lu Jun quite puzzled. The two of them slowly wandered along the noisy market with the crowd, Lu Junyou looked around blindly, while Lu Wencai looked mysteriously to the left, and then to the right, looking as if he was looking for something.
"Wencai, just tell the truth, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd today?" Lu Jun grabbed Lu Wencai, who was about to move forward, and said with a displeased face, "If you don't say it, I won't leave with you!"
"What?" Lu Wencai stared at Lu Jun with a wicked smile, "You have been working hard in the camp all year round, and you can't come out to play until the Chinese New Year?" Lu Jun, I think you are really becoming more and more like an old-fashioned person!"
"Am I old-fashioned?" Lu Jun retorted disdainfully, "What kind of style are two big men pulling and pulling in the bazaar? Don't you think it's strange for the two of us to hang out like this?"
"Isn't it strange?When we were children, didn't we often run around the streets with Yifan?" Lu Wencai said with a smile, "Why can't we do it now?"
"Are you embarrassed to mention Yifan, wait for Yifan to come back and let him know that you haven't made any progress this year, see if he punishes you?" Lu Jun couldn't help but chuckle, "And now that the war in Northern Xinjiang is tight, Yifan should now serve with Lord Han in front of the battle, and he has to endure the tempering of life and death every day, and then look at us, we are still enjoying the peace of the temple fair here......"
"Okay, okay!" Lu Wencai waved his hand impatiently and said, "Yifan is also helpless in Northern Xinjiang, we are now in Taiping Jinling, how can we compare with Yifan......?"
"Let go!" As if sensing the strange gazes of the people around him, Lu Jun hurriedly pushed Lu Wencai away, dusted his sleeves with disgust, and asked rather angrily, "What am I thinking?"
"You're thinking...... Fluttershy!" Lu Wencai burst out laughing as he spoke, and the debauchery of his laughter did not shy away from the eyes of those around him.
Lu Wencai is shameless, but Lu Jun still wants it, as soon as he heard Lu Wencai's words, Lu Jun's face couldn't help but turn red, and then reprimanded in a low voice: "Wencai, don't talk nonsense!"
"Am I talking nonsense?" Lu Wencai smiled smugly, "What do you mean by saying that two men are visiting a market as soon as you go out today?
"What are you going to prepare?" Hearing Lu Wencai's words, Lu Jun was hurriedly startled, and he couldn't care about the eyes of the people around him at the moment, so he dragged Lu Wencai in front of him, and asked again and again with a panicked face, "What bad idea did you come up with, say it quickly!"
"You let go first!" The two big men pulled and pulled in broad daylight, so that people could see what kind of system they had become?" Lu Wencai deliberately used a shrill voice to learn the way Lu Jun spoke just now, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes.
"Wencai, don't sell it......"
"Lu Jun!
Just when Lu Jun, who was full of anxiety, was about to use violence against Lu Wencai, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded from behind the two, and when this voice like a silver bell rang, Lu Jun's body trembled suddenly, and then he was nervous and subconsciously pushed Lu Wencai away.
This voice Lu Jun is so familiar, not only familiar, it's just a long-term thought!
At this moment, the girl standing not far behind Lu Jun and Lu Wencai is Xiao Fluttershy, today she deliberately dressed up, the lilac short jacket is dotted with some white flowers, with a somewhat faded cyan Luo skirt, the whole person still looks so simple and clean, the petite figure does not hide its graceful beauty because of the simplicity of the robe, there is a pleasing smile on the white and flawless face, green silk shawl, Bright eyes and bright teeth, a faint fragrance of osmanthus diffused from the body is still so fresh and natural, although there is no carmine powder, but it is this natural and simple beauty that can no longer be natural, it is even more tempting to look at it twice.
Hearing Fluttershy's voice, Lu Jun, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, became a little panicked for no reason, and he hurriedly took care of his face with his back to Fluttershy, while Lu Wencai sneered at Lu Jun's funny appearance.
"Fluttershy, you're here!" In front of Fluttershy, Lu Wencai behaves much more naturally than Lu Jun, and he takes the initiative to step forward and greet Fluttershy warmly. And until this moment, Lu Jun was still standing stupidly in place sorting out his robe.
Looking at Lu Jun's back that refused to turn around, Fluttershy couldn't help but be curious, and asked Lu Wencai with a faint smile, "Lu Jun, what's wrong with him?"
"Oh, it's okay! He's crazy, and he's foaming at the mouth!" Lu Wencai quipped with a wicked smile, "When he wipes all the foam off his mouth, he'll turn around!"
"Huh?" Fluttershy, who is innocent by nature, apparently doesn't understand Lu Wencai's joke, and looks at Lu Jun's back in surprise.
"Lu Wencai, you dare to slander me with nonsense, see if I don't dismantle your bones!" Lu Jun turned around suddenly with an angry face, and directly stepped forward and kicked Lu Wencai's ass fiercely, and Lu Wencai seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and avoided it with a smile.
Looking at Lu Jun and Lu Wencai's way of chasing me, Fluttershy on the side couldn't help but hide her face and laugh. Fluttershy has been in a very good mood lately, with the help of Lu Jun, his father has hired the best Lang Chinese medicine for treatment, and now her condition has improved a lot, and there was no business in the past New Year's holidays, and life is very sad, but now with Lu Jun's business of 100 pairs of cloth shoes, Fluttershy's family has begun to become richer.
"Fluttershy, why are you here?" After frolicking with Lu Wencai, Lu Jun stopped in front of Fluttershy stupidly, not even daring to look Fluttershy in the eyes, because he was afraid that he would be trapped in Fluttershy's clear eyes.
"What? don't you want me to come?" Fluttershy asks rhetorically, feigned annoyance.
"I didn't ...... Absolutely not like that!" Lu Jun hurriedly explained, don't look at Lu Jun's usual calm and resolute appearance, but as soon as he arrived in front of Fluttershy, no amount of manhood suddenly dissipated without a trace, "Of course I hope you can come, I'm really happy that you're here......"
Listening to Lu Jun's words, Fluttershy's cheeks flushed slightly, and then she chuckled with a pretended relief, "Wen Cai asked me to come, he said that some of your good friends will meet in the Moon Tower tonight, and they want me to come and have a good time!"
"My good friend?" Lu Jun was also a little puzzled at this time, only to see him turn his head to look at Lu Wencai, but saw that Lu Wencai was looking at the sky with slanted eyes, looking like he hadn't heard anything.
"Anyway, it's good that you're here!" Lu Jun said to Fluttershy with a happy face, "Let's take a stroll around this fair, there are a lot of interesting things here, whatever you want, I'll give them to you!"
"Lu Jun, in fact, I'm worried that your good friends must be some dignitaries, so I'll go like this...... Won't you lose face......"
"Nonsense!" Before Fluttershy's words fell, Lu Jun's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply, "If anyone thinks that Fluttershy will disgrace me, then they will disgrace me! I Lu Jun will never have such a friend again!" Lu Jun looked directly into Fluttershy's eyes with a solemn face, and Fluttershy hung his head a little embarrassed, and Lu Jun said word by word, "Fluttershy, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and the best girl I Lu Jun has ever met in my life......
"Yes......" Fluttershy's voice sounds a little timid at the moment.
"Yes, I swear I'm telling the truth, if there's half a lie, then let me thunder and ......," Lu Jun swears to the sky, but is stopped by Fluttershy.
"I believe it, I believe it all!" Fluttershy said as she quickly stretched out her jade hand and grabbed Lu Jun's raised right hand, and said again and again, "The Chinese New Year is a festive day, don't say anything unlucky!"
"Bah, hey, hey......" Lu Jun smacked three times like a child under Fluttershy's anxious gaze, and their hands were still tightly clasped together.
"Well, let's go shopping!" Lu Jun said and was about to take Fluttershy's hand, but Lu Wencai, who had no eyesight, kept standing next to him and grinning at all this, which made Lu Jun, who suddenly reacted, startled at first, and then quickly let go of Fluttershy's hand.
And at the moment when the two of them parted hands, there was a trace of loss in their hearts.
"You ...... Don't mind if I'm here?" Lu Wencai stared at Lu Jun and Fluttershy suspiciously with big eyes.
"We're all good friends!" Fluttershy laughs, "I'm really lucky to have met you!"
"Haha, I love to listen to Fluttershy, whatever you want to buy today, just say it, Lu Jun will give it to you!" Lu Wencai laughed cheekily, and as he spoke, he took the lead and strode towards the center of the temple fair under Lu Jun's disdainful gaze.
"Let's go!" Lu Jun smiled at Fluttershy, and then tried to take a step, but Fluttershy tilted her head slightly, and looked at Lu Jun with a slight red smile, with no intention of moving.
"Fluttershy, you ......"
"Whoa!"
Without waiting for Lu Jun to ask, Fluttershy mustered up the courage to stretch her jade hand forward slightly, and the meaning could not be more obvious. And Lu Jun's heart moved suddenly, and then his face became a little flustered, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
"No matter what people say, it's still a girl, there are some things Lu Jun, can you take the initiative!" Lu Wencai walked in the front, and suddenly came out without looking back.
Hearing Lu Wencai's words, Lu Jun glanced at Fluttershy again, only to see that Fluttershy's face was already red to the root of her ears, but she still had the courage to purse her lower lip with her teeth, and her eyes looked straight at Lu Jun with tenderness.
"Fluttershy, let's go!"
"Ah......h
After taking a deep breath, Lu Jun finally mustered up his courage, and then suddenly stretched out his sweaty palm, and grabbed Fluttershy's soft jade hand hard, causing Fluttershy to let out a soft snort. Then, without waiting for Fluttershy to say anything more, Lu Jun was already excitedly holding Fluttershy's hand and chasing Lu Wencai's steps without looking back.
This is the first time that Lu Jun has really gone shopping with Fluttershy, although there has always been a Lu Wencai chattering in his ears, but in fact, it has been automatically ignored by Lu Jun. He couldn't take a turn of his mind on what his eyes saw and what his ears heard, because all his energy and attention were focused on fitting Fluttershy's palms, and although the palms of the two were already overflowing with slippery sweat, Lu Jun was reluctant to let go for a moment......
For a whole day, Lu Jun kept holding Fluttershy's hand and wandering around, as long as Fluttershy was slightly interested, Lu Jun would not hesitate to buy it and throw it to Lu Wencai to carry. By dusk, Lu Wencai's shoulders, hands, and arms were already full of things, and he was tired and sweaty, while Lu Jun was holding Fluttershy in his left hand, and his right hand was already full of all kinds of new gadgets.
Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and all kinds of lanterns were hanging out in the market one after another, Lu Wencai finally stopped and complained to Lu Jun: "Tonight's party in the Moon Tower, Lu Jun wants to have a treat, I'm so tired!"
"Who did you invite?" Lu Jun asked curiously, "Mysteriously concealed us for a day!"
"The hour is almost up, you'll know when you arrive!" Lu Wencai smiled mysteriously, and then raised his feet and walked in the direction of the Moon Tower.
Tonight's Yuelou is still lively, the rich and status people of Jinling City will almost come to the Yuelou to eat and drink around the New Year's Festival, whether it is the lobby or the private room there is no vacancy, all the guests, bustling, the crowd makes the New Year's flavor here become much stronger than other places, the guys who come and go to serve food and wine are almost too busy, upstairs and downstairs have to trot and wait.
At this moment, there is a most luxurious private room on the second floor of the Moon Tower, and the luxury level here is the highest standard in the Moon Tower, and the people who can eat here are not rich enough, but also have enough status. Even if you don't order a single dish, you still need to spend a full 5,000 silver shells to settle on this private room. However, at this moment, the huge round table in the private room is already full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and delicacies. There are nearly 100 kinds of dishes that make people drool when they look at them, and a jar of fine wine has also filled the corner of the private room. Just looking at this pomp and circumstance, I am afraid that I can't afford to eat it without more than 100,000 silver shells tonight, and the people who can put on such a show are naturally the few powerful people in Jinling City.
At this moment, a lot of people had gathered in the private room, and these people were all talking and laughing and waiting for Lu Jun and them to come and have a table together.
And when Lu Jun sees them later, I'm afraid that he will have a deep feeling of joy and tears!
