When Hua Manting was gossiping with Su Yi'an in the small courtyard behind the Sanwei Library, Wen Boiling Rain, who lived quietly in Kyoto, also ushered in an old friend.

He is Yu Dingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Wu State!

Yu Dingzhi's face was a little dark.

It's just that in such a night, the warm cooking rain should not be seen clearly.

He happily welcomed Yu Dingzhi to the study, boiled a pot of tea, leaned over, looked at Yu Dingzhi's face carefully, and Yu Dingzhi's heart tightened:

"What? The old man has a flower on his face? ”

Wen Zhuyu grinned: "Old Yutou, your face is better than a flower!" ”

"you!"

Yu Dingzhi glared at Wen Zhuoyu fiercely, "How many years haven't you seen each other?" Now you are also a member of the first assistant of the cabinet, why are you still like this?! ”

Wen Boiling Rain laughed.

"Old Yutou, you are still so unsmiling, boring, boring!"

"Boring fart! Don't let people prepare wine and food? ”

"Hahahaha...... Wen Zhuyu laughed again, "Of course the wine and food are easy to say, it just so happens that we have just come back from the next dynasty and have not yet eaten...... You wait a moment. ”

Wen Zhuyu got up, walked out of the study, and said a few words to the housekeeper before turning around and walking back.

"I want to be in Dongxu City back then...... We were all in our early twenties, in the prime of life! ”

The water in the pot was boiling, and the tea was boiled in the rain, and he said: "I still remember that winter, you, me, and the kid Xia Liu in Xiafu ran to the Acacia House on the shore of Acacia Lake with Miao Qiuqin, the little girl of the Miao family, and ate a meal of simmered deer antler velvet with cabbage!" ”

"The smell...... Tut-tut, I dare to say that in the entire Dongxu City, only the simmered deer antler velvet stewed by Li Xiangsi of Acacia Ju tastes the most beautiful! ”

"That's right,"

Wen Zhuanyu looked up at Yu Dingzhi, "How are Xia Liu's kid and Miao Qiuqin now?" ”

Yu Dingzhi glanced at Wen Zhuanyu: "The eldest son of the Xia State Mansion, of course, has a bright future!" ”

"Xia Liu is now the secretary of the military department of Wu State...... Miao Qiuqin married him...... Do you regret it? ”

When Wen Zhuanyu heard this, he was stunned for two breaths, and grinned: "I didn't expect this, but speaking of which, Qiuqin is right to marry him." ”

"You're pretending to be stupid?!"

Yu Dingzhi glared at Wen Zhuoyu again: "Who didn't know that the person Miao Qiuqin liked at that time was you!" ”

"Let me ask you, how can Qiu Qin say that she is also the daughter of the General's Mansion!"

"If you want to have a family background, you must be knowledgeable, and you want talents, and you are also one of the four famous beauties in Kyoto!"

"You are a poor and sour literati, that is, a staff member of the Prince's East Palace, Qiu Qin doesn't care, what are you afraid of?"

"What are you running?"

Wen Zhuoyu turned off the fire, poured two cups of tea, handed one over, and shook his head:

"What I like is freedom!"

"Like you are now? Forty years old! Are you free? ”

"After you left Dongxu City, Qiuqin has been waiting for you!"

"She knows that you like to eat simmered deer antler velvet stewed with snow cabbage stewed by Li Acacia, and she stayed in Acacia for three months to learn how to make that dish...... When she learns how to stew for you, you run away! ”

"Do you know how sad Qiuqin was at that time?"

"But people are still waiting for you!"

"You guy ran away to Huifu, and the news came that you married a Huihui girl......"

"Warm boiled rain, warm boiled rain, you are really not a person!"

After Qiuqin heard this, she heard that she cried behind closed doors for three days...... After another year, he married Xia Liu. ”

"By the way, this time I came to Ningguo, Xia Liu asked me to bring you a word."

Wen Zhuyu heard this and waved his hand, "Don't say it!" ”

But Yu Dingzhi still said:

"He said that one day, he will invade Ningguo, catch you, and dig out your heart to see why he is so ruthless!"

"Plus, he'll thank you in person!"

"Thank you for running away and letting him marry such a good daughter-in-law as Qiuqin!"

Wen Boiling Rain smiled bitterly.

There is no explanation.

Because there are some things that cannot be explained. 、

"They...... How many children do you have? ”

"They had a son and a daughter."

"The eldest son is eighteen years old, named Xia An, who served in the Beifu Army, and now he is a commander of a thousand soldiers."

"Daughter Sixteen, named Xia Hua, the closed disciple of the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion, one of the Seven Swords of Tianshan Mountain."

Yu Dingzhi picked up the teacup and raised his eyes to look at Wen Boilyu: "Actually, now that I think about it, Qiu Qin is much better to marry Xia Liu than to marry you!" ”

"You're a man...... If you say that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, you are now the first and auxiliary minister of Ningguo. ”

"If you say that you pursue fame and fortune, the emperor saw you three times back then, if you stayed in Wu State, you will also be an official now!"

"So, sometimes I wonder, what are you going to do all this rounding?"

"In the country of Wu, you have already achieved fame!"

"You will have a happy home, at least not like now, old friends come to the door, there is no hostess, not even a person who cooks!"

"I heard that you have a daughter, but your daughter seems to be very dissatisfied with you...... If you stay in Dongxu City......"

Wen Zhuanyu waved his hand again and interrupted Yu Dingzhi's words:

"It was useless for you to persuade me, and now it's useless to say this."

"That's about it, I'm here...... Not that good. ”

"By the way, I've been in Kyoto for nearly a month, you know, I'm too busy, so there's something to be slow about, since everyone is an old friend, I think you will also understand."

Yu Dingzhi took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "I can't understand!" ”

"Yun Shuxian Yun Lao, back then, you stole the dog that guarded the door and slaughtered it and stewed it."

"Yun Lao Ke has been thinking about this matter, so don't you see him and apologize?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was young at that time, and you took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to steal Yun Lao's dog...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembers the smell of dog meat, should you go and pay a visit? ”

"You ate at my house for a month, forget it, just feed the dog!"

"You're not a ruthless person, why would you do such a ruthless thing?"

Wen Boiled Yu grinned:

"The second half of your last sentence is wrong!"

"I'm really not a ruthless person, if I really did anything ruthless, it was also in this matter to Qiuqin."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought you here, if you come to Ningguo for exchange and play, no matter how busy I am Wen Boiling, I will definitely find time to entertain you."

"But you're here for the wrong motive!"

"The Ning Kingdom destroyed the Yong Kingdom in the twenty-seventh year of Jingtai and occupied the Wuya Pass, almost forty years ago."

"Wuyaguan is, of course, the territory of Ningguo!"

"Does this need to be negotiated?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a credit, but it can't be built on the basis of the land ceded by Ning Guo!"

"Didn't Wu Guo just watch Ning Guo's national strength decline and be bullied?"

"If it weren't for the Kyoto Revolution last year, if it weren't for the fall of the Ji Tai family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have succeeded in this trip!"

"But it's different now!"

"Now it is the regent Li Chen'an who holds the power of Ning Kingdom! Presumably, these days, you should have a certain understanding of the regent. ”

"Tell me, if I go to see His Royal Highness the Prince, what will I say?"

"I think it's the best policy that you should persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to dispel this idea and form an alliance with Ning Guo!"

Yu Dingzhi slowly narrowed his eyes.

After a while, he asked:

"What if Li Chen'an dies?"
