Ruchun Fang is located not far from the camp of Beigu Mountain, although it is the sword and sword shadow of Beigu Mountain, but it is still busy and lively here, because Zhenjiang is the main road of north-south traffic, although there are rebels in the north, many merchants who plan to go north see that the imperial court strictly prohibits everyone from crossing the river, so they simply stay in this Zhenjiang, Zhenjiang is not depressed because of this, but it has increased a little more lively.

Entering the main street, the shops on both sides can be described as rows and rows, it can be seen that this should be the commercial center of Zhenjiang, with a variety of shops: there are tea houses, tea houses, water curtains are hung on the door, stoves are set up in the house, and guests from all over the world are attracted with tea, specializing in plum soup, Hehe soup, walnut and pine nuts to make tea. There are taverns and hotels, and there are big "wine" flags. If it is a large restaurant, it is even more magnificent. There are 100 pavilions inside, surrounded by green railings. The pink-headed prostitutes in the streets all went to the restaurant to take advantage of it, holding the pipa in their arms, playing and singing songs, or playing the sheng and tasting the flute, and drinking for the princes, kings and grandsons or diners. There are various eateries and noodle shops that buy and sell all kinds of food. Such as mutton noodle shop, slaughter several sheep a day, noodles such as silver threads, garlic noodles, meat to find noodles, and sell flat food, win the championship. In addition, there are grocery stores, silk shops, pawnshops, and so on.

Hao Feng got out of the car, felt the atmosphere of the commercial street for the first time, was very relaxed, paid the car money to the coachman, some brokers, prostitutes, and tooth people on both sides of the street saw it, and their eyes lit up. ”

"Childe is here for dinner, come to my Xinchang ......"

"Childe ......" Daddy's voice dragged out the tail tone, almost crisping people's bones: "The slave family is so lonely......"

Hao Fenglou didn't bother to pay attention to those brokers and tooth people, but his eyes looked at the prostitute, and then immediately put on a serious appearance and said: "It's really a bad trick, the people in the government are dead, how can you tolerate such a bad thing, I advise you to change your mind and be a new person, don't do this kind of thing again, at such an old age, even a teenager like me can do it, auntie, you can be my mother, I rule the country with filial piety, and today I pay more attention to education......"

As soon as everyone heard that this grandson was actually a scholar who couldn't eat the ancients, or the kind with a bad brain, so they were afraid to avoid it one by one, and they dispersed one after another, and the old prostitute was a little unconvinced, but Hao Fenglou was angry, saying that all the people in the government were dead, and he thought in his heart, this son may have a little bit of a background, so he muttered a few words, shook his handkerchief, and brushed his sleeves away.

Hao Fenglou sweated profusely, he didn't like to hit people, but if he didn't say a few words, these people would see that they were thin-skinned, and they wouldn't be able to drive them away.

Came to the outside of Ruchun Fang, this is a large-scale restaurant, the attic is like clouds, the eaves are full of colorful lights, seven or eight guys at the door, smiling faces welcome people, when I saw Hao Fenglou arrived, one of them stepped forward and said: "Son? ”

Hao Fenglou was calm and relaxed, although he was shy in his pocket, but his style was not small: "Someone invited me to come." ”

The guy then smiled: "It must be the wind boy, Master Lu has been waiting for a long time, please." ”

Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Facing the group, passing through the hall, there is a cave in it, there are several courtyards, all night long, silk and bamboo, and occasionally there is laughter in the compartment, Hao Fenglou is full of expectations for such a high-level place, but he looks behind him from time to time, and seems to have found a figure, showing a knowing smile.

The guy led him into an attic, first went in to report, and then invited Hao Fenglou in.

The attic is extremely luxurious, the veiled lamps are hanging everywhere, a piece of brightness, there are many people sitting inside, when they see Hao Fenglou coming, they have stood up, the first one is about forty, the appearance is dignified, the dress is not luxurious, the cut is very fit, the gesture is quite imposing, he smiled heartily, and said: "Lu Zhong, I have heard the name of the son for a long time, come, the son please sit." ”

Hao Fenglou was very polite and said, "Long admiration, long admiration." And he sat down on the empty seat.

Lu Zhong smiled: "Feng Gongzi, haha...... Although you and I have never met, but today you and I are sitting here, we are friends, friends are friends, and we are on this wine table, but I don't know how much my son drinks? ”

Hao Fenglou said with a smile: "Who can tell the depth of the wine, you have to drink it to know." ”

Lu Zhong daxiao said: "What I am waiting for is your words." ”

The person next to him poured the wine, and Lu Zhong first raised the lamp: "Do it first for respect." ”

After three rounds of drinking, several other people also came to flatter, all claiming to be from the Lu Mansion, and came to toast Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou didn't know how much he had eaten, his face was already a little red, with a little drunkenness, and he was unconscious.

"Wind Boy...... Feng Gongzi ......" A person on the side patted Hao Fenglou's back lightly and whispered a few times.

Hao Fenglou just didn't wake up, and there were a few snorings.

Lu Zhong had already stood up, smiled coldly, and said: "Drunk, his amount of alcohol, it doesn't seem to be very good, it's good, it just saves a lot of trouble, Yang Jian, you can do the next thing, transport it out of the city first, and then do him, don't make any noise, it's best not to alarm the government, it's best to be quiet, old man, go back and tell you." ”

"Yes, Lord Hyakho."

Lu Zhong nodded and said, "Be clean, if something goes wrong, you can't afford it." He got up to leave.

Suddenly...... Hao Fenglou, who was lying on the table and did not move, stretched his waist and said with a smile: "I knew that you didn't have a good heart, but this young master really didn't expect it bad!" ”

originally thought that Hao Fenglou was already drunk, but who knew that this guy would actually wake up, but this time, it scared everyone.

Lu Zhong's face was cloudy, he stared at Hao Fenglou, smiled coldly, and said, "You're not drunk?" ”

Hao Fenglou calmed down and said, "This kind of yellow soup is also drunk young master?" Of course, Hao Fenglou wouldn't tell him that in his previous life, the master was addicted to alcohol, and he had to drink a few taels with him every once in a while, but the high-purity liquor in the later generations was not comparable to the rice wine of this era. Don't say that it is half a catty of rice wine, that is, one catty, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get drunk Hao Fenglou.

Lu Zhong smiled faintly and said, "You deliberately pretended to be drunk to eavesdrop on the old man's conversation, do you want to know who we are and know our intentions?" It's a pity, you're too stupid, since you know that we have other plans, you shouldn't come, as long as you hide in the Lu Mansion obediently, we can't do anything to you for the time being, but now, whether you are drunk or not, you are also dead. It's just that the old man has a question, how do you see the strangeness in this? ”

As a hundred households in Jinyi, Lu Zhong has always been very professional, but now he is seen and hidden, and he is not happy when he doesn't ask to understand.

Hao Fenglou stood up and said with a smile: "It's very simple, the entire Lu Mansion had something strange from the beginning, first the so-called concubine, is it called Ling'er?" One of her concubines actually made Mrs. Lu anxious, Mrs. Lu, the head of the family, couldn't help her, the students more or less knew some customs, in our Ming Dynasty, how could Mrs.'s status in the family be comparable to a concubine? annoyed Madame, Madame's words are enough to put this concubine to death, in this case, why is Mrs. Lu angry with the concubine everywhere, but she doesn't dare to act rashly? ”

Under the society of etiquette, as Xu Qian said, the status of a wife is very high, and a concubine is actually no different from a slave. The concubine wants to dominate the guests, especially in an official family like the Lu family, it is absolutely impossible, after all, Mrs. Lu is the lady of the command.

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "Since this is the case, then Young Master Ben is thinking, unless there is a possibility, this possibility is that the identity of this concubine is not ordinary, that is, there are people in the mother's family." ”

The mother's family, in this era, determines a woman's status in her husband's family, in ancient times, the family was right, Master Lu was the lord, and Mrs. Lu's maiden family background would definitely not be bad; And this concubine's maiden family obviously has a little background, so that this concubine can gain a firm foothold in the Lu family, and can even exclude his wife.

Hao Fenglou continued: "But why does a young lady from a big family want to be a concubine for Master Lu, it's not that Young Master Ben has no confidence in Master Lu, it's just that he is not young, if you have to say anything far-fetched about Lang Qing's concubine, Young Master Ben is afraid that he will not believe it, even if Young Master Ben believes it, will the concubine's family will?" So the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, and then I thought that at this time the rebels had arrived in Jiangbei, and Master Lu happened to be the general of Zhenjiang, guarding the gate of Nanjing, and the relationship was not trivial, I began to suspect that all this was a conspiracy, and this concubine must be a chess piece placed next to Master Lu, if Lord Lu is willing to serve the court and guard Zhenjiang, naturally everyone will be happy, but if Master Lu is a little shaken, you ...... I'm afraid I'm going to do it, right? ”

Lu Zhong looked at the young man in front of him, and actually had a little admiration, because to analyze these, not only must you have careful observation, but also have a global view, after all, in this era when most people are ignorant, who will care about what rebellion, what rebellion, at most it is just the talk of idlers, who will draw inferences and think deeply.

Lu Zhong was still calm and relaxed, and said, "That's all? ”

"And." Hao Fenglou said eloquently: "After I entered the house, people in the house came to inquire about me one after another, and wanted to ask me about my situation through my girl, I am just a teacher, how can I have the second person in charge of labor and Miss Cousin to inquire, and my situation has been very clear when I was recruited, just a down-and-out child of a family, with your identity, if you want to know, someone will send it with just an order, but you still have to investigate, which shows that you don't believe that my identity is so simple, Because now that the rebels have arrived in Jiangbei, you are making noise, such as you, and you suspect that I may be a spy of the rebels, is that so? ”

Lu Zhong smiled: "Yes, I do have this suspicion, in extraordinary times, anyone who enters the mansion must always find out the details." ”

Hao Fenglou said: "Of course, there is also that invitation, this invitation is written by Director Lu, the pen is like a knife, the killing machine is revealed, you can watch people by looking at its words, the head of a house, the pen is so sharp, it can make people feel the killing intent, this alone, I don't believe that you are just an ordinary principal." Therefore, I expected that you were from the imperial court or the rebels, and Young Master Ben was not very lucky, and told a story to Mrs. Lu, but happened to offend Master Lu's concubine, that is, your master, so that you are even more suspicious of my identity, and you yourself said that you do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, since my suspicion has become more and more serious, so the most direct means is to kill me, therefore, you politely sent an invitation, hoping that I would come to the banquet, and then let me disappear completely in the Lu family, right? ”

Lu Zhong said with a smile: "You are very smart, if it weren't for the scouts of the rebels, the old man would have a little pity and want to promote you, but it's a pity, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, this is looking for your own death." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "The reason why I came to the banquet is not that I am stupid, since you have already suspected me, you will definitely not give up, even if I don't go to the banquet, you will try your best to kill me, I happen to have a girl, who knows if you can't make a plan and make a plan, it will not be bad for her, so I have to come, if I don't make a decision, I am uneasy." ”

Lu Zhong was murderous: "Then let's make a decision, do it." ”

"Wait!" Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly: "I still have a word to say." ”

Lu Zhong smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

Hao Fenglou let go of his throat and shouted, "Sister Beauty, don't hide it, help!" ”
