On the hall, Lu Chengren first drank tea, and in the interval, Lu Zhaoyi remembered that they hadn't eaten yet, so he went out and ordered his subordinates to prepare to eat.

And when she was about to return, it was Qu Qi Niang's opportunity.

She dragged Lu Zhaoyi aside and whispered in her ear, "You are a strategist, haven't you ever thought about what is wrong with him?" ”

If you want to say Qu Qi Niang, I have seen Lu Chengren twice so far, once at the gate of the palace yesterday, and the second time is now.

But both times, she didn't have a good impression.

She looked at Lu Chengren, although she was gentle and polite, she always revealed a sense of hypocrisy.

What's more, Lou Wanqing, the lady of the main book, is not as good as it seems, this woman is gentle on the outside, and her mind is indestructible, and she can travel dozens of miles to Luojing when she is pregnant, which can be described as thoughtful.

Lu Zhaoyi paused and turned his face to look at her, with doubts in his eyes, but quickly regained his composure.

"Don't mention it again! Don't even mention a word. ”

Saying this, Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were cold, and looking directly at the past could make people chill.

Seeing this, Qu Qi Niang's eyes were slightly dark, and she pursed her lips and was silent.

Lu Chengren has always been benevolent and weak, and he is not as straightforward as his eldest brother Lu Chengye.

Back then, Lu Zhaoyi escaped from marriage, and it was also with the help of this second brother that he escaped smoothly, so he was not less punished.

Now, the second brother came to ask for help, how could she not help?

Returning to the hall, Lu Zhaoyi smiled and instructed his subordinates to set up dishes and chopsticks, and warmly entertained his brother and sister-in-law as always.

In this case, why is this so, Qu Qiniang stood outside the door, but she had a deep thought.

Where did I see it, Lu Chengren picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and inadvertently swept Lu Zhaoyi, but saw her face was calm, and he was curious for a while, "Seventh sister's face is quite happy, why is it?" ”

"Ah, that's right." Lu Zhaoyi seemed to come back to his senses suddenly and smiled, "It is said that the old lady of the Qiu family in Hanoi County was once Jing Zhaoyin of the former dynasty, and he had ten sons under his knees, all of whom were famous people in the world. ”

"Seventh sister, do you have something to say to me?"

Suddenly, Lu Chengren interrupted her words, his expression was condensed, and he squinted at her.

His official position as the chief bookkeeper is the main bookkeeper of the Imperial History Tower, and his superior, Yushi Zhongcheng, is the second son of Qiu Taigong, Qiu Quzi.

When asked about the point, Lu Zhaoyi just smiled and was silent.

And Lou Wanqing's eyes turned back and forth between the two, as if they were considering something.

"Are you...... Got something to ask for? Lu Chengren couldn't help but ask again.

Lu Zhaoyi's eyes turned and chuckled, "Where is the second brother?" It's just that the little sister wants to visit Qiu Gong, but she can't find the source, I wonder if the second brother can introduce the little sister? ”

This......

Lu Chengren was really hesitant about this request.

It seemed that after thinking for a long time, he slowly put down the bamboo chopsticks, and the corners of his mouth grinned slightly, "Well, my husband and wife are living here now, and they should help you, which can be regarded as the rental money paid for my brother!" ”

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, each with their own thoughts.

At this time, Lou Wan smiled and hurriedly played a round, "Where is this?" When you say that, don't you treat your uncle as an outsider? ”

When Lu Chengren heard this, he immediately woke up and slapped himself with a smile, "Little sister, the second brother is outside." ”

Watching the couple sing and harmonize, Lu Zhaoyi smiled and said nothing, and then withdrew from the hall on the grounds that he was entangled in official business.

As soon as she went out, her eyes were indicative, and she asked Qu Qiniang and Gu Man to follow her all the way back to the inner courtyard.

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard room, she took one person by the hand, pressed their heads, and leaned over their ears.

"Xiaoman, what do you say is the purpose of their trip?"

Gu Man was pressed on his head, his mind was confused for a while, and he couldn't say a word.

That's the same with Qi Niang.

"Aunt Qiao, that is, Ying Xiang, is there any news?" Lu Zhaoyi's words seemed to be talking to himself.

"Seven, Qi Niang." Gu Man forcibly got rid of her shackles, "Aunt Qiao's letter hasn't been received yet, why don't you go and let the shadow spirit urge?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi gave it away with both hands, and the two of them immediately got rid of it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if I received a letter from Lu Fu Yingwei, it was nothing more than the same rhetoric as Lu Erlang." Qu Qiniang said indifferently.

At this point, Lu Zhaoyi also nodded in agreement.

Immediately, she thought for a while, "The second brother is staying in the house for the time being, you still need to do the same as usual, and wait until you come to see it later, right?" ”

When she said this, she hoped that they would pay more attention to Lu Chengren's behavior?

After all, Lu Chengren has been an official for many years, and he crawled out of a place where civil officials are gathered, unlike a military general like her eldest brother Lu Chengye, who naturally has some city governments, so he slowly understands his mind first.

Gu Man and Qu Qi Niang glanced at each other and nodded heavily.

……

In the next two days, the days of the Yong'anli Mansion were also stable, and nothing happened.

Until this day, the scholars in the capital were all spreading, Qiu Zhongcheng had another lin, and the Qiu family also planned to open the door to hold a banquet and invite the major nobles of Luojing to the banquet to celebrate the event.

When this news reached Lu Zhaoyi's ears, he knew that the time had come.

Immediately, she sent someone to inform Lin Chang of Fangchi Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, waiting for an opportunity to prepare for action.

Then she took Qu Qiniang and Lu Chengren to Qiu Mansion.

When it came to the banquet, the big families in Beijing came to the door one by one, and the Qiu family also set up a special venue, and everyone entered the courtyard, but it was luxurious.

Mrs. Qiu was old and didn't like to work, so he sat in the main hall and drank tea and chatted with a group of old friends from the previous dynasty.

By the time Lu Zhaoyi and the others arrived, Qiu Taigong had already closed his eyes and recuperated, and behind him, someone offered fragrant tea.

Looking at the past from afar, she saw that in the Qiu Mansion, it was Qiu Quzi in the imperial history.

It seems that Qiu Quzi noticed something, and his eyes looked into the distance, with an unexpected expression.

"Master Lu, it's not bad today, and you also came to my house to join in the fun?" He stared at Lu Chengren's face, but he didn't look at the others.

This seems to be deliberate.

Lu Chengren's heart sank, his face was not obvious, he just gave his hand, "The lower officials came to visit sincerely, and they also came for the introduction." ”

"Oh? Referral? What does that mean? Qiu Quzi raised his eyebrows, his face serious.

Only then did he set his sights on Lu Zhaoyi.

"Yo, isn't this, a few days ago, in the palace, Lu Niangzi who argued with Lu Situ?"

"Exactly!"

She bowed respectfully and bowed her head.

But his heart has already been surging, and in the whole world, Qiu Quzi, who can be called the fifth and Gou Chen, how can it be so simple?

With a suspicious gaze, Lu Zhaoyi bowed slightly, "On that day, Qi Niang didn't seem to notice Qiu Zhongcheng. ”

"Ahh Qiu Quzi raised his head suddenly, as if thinking, "Lu Niangzi is serious, and she is only a five-grade imperial history in the middle, and she is soft-spoken, so she is naturally not as eye-catching as Situ and Youxiang." ”

Lu Zhaoyi smiled, "Qiu Zhongcheng is humble. His Majesty and Zhongcheng have eaten, slept and bathed together, who is not envious of this kind of relationship? ”

"Please also Moti, this is not good for His Majesty's reputation. However, I was fortunate to see Lu Niangzi's sharp teeth. Qiu Quzi responded with a cold face, very cautious.

At this time, the two are acquainted.

Entering the Qiu Mansion, during the banquet, some palace ministers recognized Lu Zhaoyi when they attended the banquet, so they came up to disturb and curry favor in every way.

Everyone knows that on that day, Lu Niangzi fought with the right minister and Situ alone, and her strength was amazing, but most of the courtiers admired it.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled and responded one by one.

Even Mrs. Qiu, holding his old body, went down to the banquet to toast Lu Zhaoyi.

"Hahaha, Lu Niangzi, I have heard of you for a long time, although you are a daughter, but you are not weaker than a man, with a thousand cavalry, you will attack the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and you will open the door ......"

The more Qiu Taigong spoke, the more energetic he became.

Qiu Quzi, who was still entertaining the guests, paid attention, and suddenly his eyes were shining, his expression was frightened, and he hurriedly ran over and pulled his father to shut up.

"Everyone, everyone, Mrs. Lu forgive me, my father lost his words after drinking!" As he spoke, he took Mrs. Qiu to the backyard.

In this situation, Lu Zhaoyi sneered in her heart, she naturally knew that Qiu Quzi had always been forbearing, cautious in words and deeds, and it was not surprising that she had such a move.

And this time, she didn't know what this person knew, or if he was overly cautious.

Just as the guests in the courtyard retracted their gaze, there was a commotion outside, and everyone's eyes were attracted again.

Lu Zhaoyi also raised his eyes to look, but after a while, he saw a slender woman dressed in red, followed by a team of honor guards, slowly stepping into the mansion.

As soon as Qiu Quzi came out of the inner courtyard, he saw the person at the door, and was immediately startled, bowed his head and walked forward, ran forward, knelt down and shouted: "Minister, Qiu Quzi in the imperial history, welcome Cai Guifei!" ”

Lu Zhaoyi shook his head lightly, and looked at the man with confused eyes.

This person, the only concubine in Xia Pei's harem?

Cai Zhengjun?

She didn't stay in the harem, why did she come to Qiu Mansion to do it?
