In recent years, the first store was set up on the bank of the Qujiang River, and since the opening, the original leading position of the Bazhen Pavilion has been seriously threatened.

In addition to the current three-storey building, Yuweixuan also set up seven or eight warm pavilions in the backyard, each warm pavilion has a flue fire wall, not only makes the pavilion warm like spring, but even the big courtyard seems to have residual warmth, as long as you step in, the winter cold will magically disappear, so although this year is particularly cold, in the backyard of Yuweixuan, many warm pavilions still open doors and windows, and even some people move to sit in the courtyard, so as to enjoy the enchanting people singing and dancing in the middle pavilion nearby.

Although Shi Niang's "investment" did not involve this family Yuweixuan, because of her close relationship with the owner Pei Ying, she needed a warm pavilion room at any time, and it was not as early as ordinary people who booked it a month in advance.

Before noon, Wang Ningzhi and Xue Luli had already gone to the invitation on time, so even Liu Yan took a leave to come to drink, and he pushed open the door, and just hit the "tip of the gun" of Eleven Niang.

"San Lang is late, he should be punished for drinking!"

It turned out that as soon as the wine and food were served, before the people arrived, He Zhan couldn't wait to rush to the "protagonist" Lu Li, and used the excuse that the Xue family was in danger to let him drink three cups in a row, which almost immediately attracted Eleven Niang's "pity and cherishing jade", and was arguing with He Zhan, and Liu Yan, a latecomer, happened to break in.

"Girls are outgoing, sure enough." He Zhan patted the shoulder of San Lang, who had been punished for drinking before he could sit down, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at the pair of men and women sitting side by side, obviously with bad intentions.

It's a bit too obvious.

Ban Gu once wrote in "White Tiger Pass. Feng Gonghou" in the book - introverted boys, there is the meaning of staying at home; Girls are outgoing and have the righteousness of being a husband.

Lu Li's eyebrows jumped, and his gaze at He Zhan was not without suspicion.

Shi Niang simply glared at her: "Don't use allusions indiscriminately, San Lang is not late, shouldn't he be punished for drinking?" Fourteen Lang doesn't choose to speak, and he should be punished, I am out of fairness, can San Lang and Shichiro have objections? ”

Liu Yan coughed dryly twice, and did not hesitate to relieve the siege for Eleven Niang: "Brother Fourteen's words are indeed false, but Eleven Niang is fair." ”

"It's not productive." He Zhan bent his legs and kicked Liu Yan.

Wang Ningzhi is still a good old man: "Xuanzhi's body is weak and it is not good to drink too much, Shishilang should not have been deliberately embarrassed, and Eleven Niang is also uneven." ”

Seeing that Liu Yan drank a cup of hot wine and wanted to drink it again, Eleven Niang still stopped it in the end: "One light is enough, San Lang is now giving Xiao Cavalry Guard to guard the palace forbidden, and he is not allowed to leave the camp unless he is resting, and it is not easy to take leave, and it is understandable to be late this time, I just watched San Lang come in the rain, and kindly let him drink to keep out the cold, it is not a real punishment, but Fourteen Lang can't shirk these three punishment wines." ”

Because his father Liu Yuyi gradually became the queen mother, Liu Yan had already been transferred out of the ordinary Taiji Palace, and now he is on duty in the Daming Palace, of course, it is not as free and slow as in the past.

Under the watchful eye of Eleven Niang, He Zhan finally accepted the punishment.

Liu Yan didn't see her sister, and asked Wang Ningzhi about it, but something at home was involved.

It turns out that when several people are often out to discuss plans under the pretext of amusement, Liu Zhen, who is one of the insiders, will participate in eight out of ten, but Liu Yan will be absent due to transfer, and because of military discipline restrictions, he and his wife can only see each other for ten days, and they haven't seen their sister for some days, and they are very worried.

Of course, Liu Zhen also knew about the things he went to invite today, but he didn't come to see them, he must have something important to do.

At this time, Shi Niang had already asked Liu Zhen from Wang Ningzhi why she was absent, and then said with a smile: "San Lang should give Qilang a cup, Ah Hao Xu is pregnant again, so it is inconvenient to go out." ”

Liu Zhen and Ning Zhi's eldest son is three years old, and this time she is pregnant again, and it is expected that she will have both children, which is of course something worth celebrating.

After this meeting, the conversation between several people slightly turned to the topic: "Through the implementation of this plan, it happened that I 'learned' that Chang'an Lingyu Wensheng was indeed the camp of the Queen Mother, and it was even more reasonable to contact it, not only would it not make the Queen Mother suspicious, but also let her believe in my sincerity." Lu Li took the lead in saying.

Liu Yan couldn't help but be curious because of the news: "Is there something strange about Yu Wensheng?" ”

"It's so weird!" He Zhan smacked his glass: "Lu Li reminded me, I just touched the details of this person, judging from his years of behavior, he should be jealous and hateful, and he is definitely not a flattering person, otherwise he would not have been degraded and degraded several times by the Shangguan at the beginning, however, this time he took refuge in bribing Wei Yuanping and was recommended by him to be transferred to Kyoto, is it because he has finally been empowered after years of suppression, and understands that the current officialdom is in a coma, and he does not intend to go with the flow and join the traitors before he changes? ”

Wang Ningzhi frowned: "It's not impossible, why did Feng Bozhang be so traitorous in the past, Yu Wensheng suffered many setbacks, and it is not strange to bow his head and bend his knees for the sake of a smooth future." ”

"He has been in office for many years, but he can accurately understand the situation in Beijing, not to vote for the Son of Heaven but to show loyalty to the Queen Mother, and to measure the interests so accurately, it can be seen that the city government is not ordinary, such as his ability, didn't he know that he would be excluded and suppressed if he was too upright, but he insisted on it for all these years, why did he suddenly correct the evil at this time?" Eleven Niang questioned.

Ning Zhi thought about it carefully, and bowed his head again.

"Yu Wensheng was not involved in the incident for Pei Zhengshen's grievances back then, it can be seen that although he is loyal, he is not reckless, and he understands how to protect himself, and he can't get involved in anything." Eleven Niang said: "Now he suddenly shows his loyalty to the Queen Mother, I think it is not just for the official career, there should be a plan that others don't know, and according to Brother Lu and Fourteen Lang's secret inspection, but wherever this Yu Wensheng is an official, the bullies who bully the people and lawless places or traitorous officials are either punished by him or die of unlawful death, especially in recent years, Yu Wensheng has died more after being demoted, which should not be accidental." ”

Liu Yan was thrilled when he heard it: "What do you mean, Yu Wensheng is doing assassination and treacherous things?" ”

Lu Li looked at Liu Yan: "Yu Wensheng came from a humble background, entered the government through the imperial examination, has always been a civil official, and is not proficient in martial arts, if he does the assassination, it is definitely not his own hands, but with his family wealth, there is no wealth to secretly store a killer, if our guess is true, he must be involved in the gangs of the rivers and lakes or the Liukou mountain bandits." ”

Eleven Niang's head: "I also suspect this, since Yingzong, although the imperial court has been severely killed, but the gang secret alliance and the rogue have been killed, which is an inevitable hidden danger caused by the corruption of the official system that causes the people to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"In the end, it is useless to speculate and suspect alone, whether Yu Wensheng can be used by us, we need to make further contact with it." Lu Li said: "I inquired about this obsessive chess game and music rhythm, which happens to be my specialty, I can use these two preferences to get close to him, but it shouldn't have any results in the short term." ”

"Of course, if Yu Wensheng is a reckless person, he will not decide to endure humiliation and burden the deep court, Brother Lu intends to approach, he will inevitably be vigilant, and he will never reveal the roots, unless Brother Lu is expected to help him in the future, fortunately, he can detect one or two attempts." Eleven Niang said.

Seeing such a tacit understanding between the two, He Zhan smiled slightly, but suddenly got up and pushed open a window.

Because of the discussion, the doors and windows of the warm pavilion have been closed, and then it was suddenly opened, and the vocal music outside was invaded with a cold invasion, and the eleventh mother saw that Lu Li took off his robe because of the warmth in the pavilion, but at this time he was suddenly provoked by the cold and coughed lightly, and before he could remind He Zhan to close the window, He Zhan had already consciously closed the window and stepped forward to apologize: "I'm sorry, I heard a lot of outside drinkers praise today's singing and dancing, and I can't help but chant poems to help the fun, curious for a while, forget Lu Li can't help but be cold." ”

He pulled Ning Zhi with one hand and Liu Yan with the other: "San Lang is so easy to get this half day of free, Mo Ruo and I moved to the courtyard to enjoy the delicious music and dance that has been praised by people in addition to the wine and delicacies, so as to live up to the fun of today's drinking." He had already pulled the person out of the seat, and turned back to Eleven Niang and winked at him: "Of course, Eleven Niang doesn't want to leave Lu Li to sit here alone." ”

Seeing He Zhan go out with great interest, Eleven Niang couldn't help frowning and muttered: "Brother Lu Kejue Fourteen Lang is not weird today?" ”

Lu Li smiled lightly and shook his head helplessly, but he did not debunk He Zhan's even obvious intention: "Fourteen Lang has always been like this, using seemingly uninhibited concealment to show confidentiality and caution, today...... In addition to drinking, I'm afraid there are also people who are interested in making friends. ”

"What kind of person, it's worth him to be so pretentious, even we can't hide it." Eleven Niang was still muttering, but a piece of crispy goose skin was added to the bowl, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Li's smiling eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Lu still remembers my preferences." ”

"Where can I forget." Lu Li said softly, but avoided his gaze, and then diverted the topic, talking about entering the palace not far away.

The two were discussing when they heard a loud noise through the window.

It should be the adjacent warm pavilion that was pushed open and slammed into the door.

Immediately followed by a person who was anxiously retaining: "Borong stays, stays!" ”

Seeing that Eleven Niang seemed to be attracted by this sound, Lu Li took the initiative to get up and push open a window.

Eleven Niang came to his side almost immediately, and the two of them were almost arm in arm.

But she didn't pay attention to Lu Li's small step back almost subconsciously, and only smiled lightly: "Sure enough, it's Shao Guang and Shao Jiulang." ”
