Chapter 16 Beijing Night Market

Hearing this news, Lu Chen was also taken aback. Hu Zhongshu is such an important figure, he naturally sent someone to investigate, but it may be that the forces in the capital are too mixed, and there are countless side branches of various families, and they are deeply involved. And Hu Zhongshu this person, although he is a scholar of the ministry, he is honest and self-denying, his sleeves are clean, the courtyard has no precious flowers and plants, there are no colored windows and purple wood in the inner room, there are no brocade clothes and clothes, and there are thousands of servants. A person who has no desires and has no desires and lives a simple life, Lu Chen can't think of his intention to collude with Jinshan.

But since there is a problem, it has to be guarded against. Lu Chen instructed Bai Tu to continue to keep in touch with Jin Chengting, but he must not startle the snake because of a small loss, and ordered someone to bring her a coat and let her leave while the rain did not stop.

The water in the capital is deep, and the forces of various ethnic groups are intertwined, Lu Chen doesn't want to involve the forces of Guxiang Pavilion and Chixiao Island, but it is too late to rearrange manpower everywhere. "Uncle Zhong, leave the secret work to Lu Jiu to do, I will be stationed in the capital in the future, you are responsible for the communication with the people of various provinces on the surface, you have been a housekeeper for many years, I have nothing to entrust, Lu Jiu is also older, it is time to experience and experience, you take him more." Lu Chen commanded.

"Yes, follow the arrangement of the third son. I'm afraid that Lu Jiu's grade will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility, and he will delay the third son's major event. "Lu Jiu is the nephew of the housekeeper Lu Zhong, he has reached the crown this year, he has followed Uncle Zhong to run errands in the Lu family since he was a child, and he is a steady person and does things steadily, but he may not have been in charge of his own affairs, but Lu Chen is also relieved that he is not the same as other places in the capital, and the painter is still in charge of stability.

"The third prince should also find a wife, and only when he takes care of housework and contacts with people in various provinces can he worry about it." Uncle Zhong said with concern.

"Uncle Zhong teased me again, in this current situation, I am safer by myself. You have been in the Lu family for longer than me, you know, the Lu family has been a family heirloom for a hundred years, and the women you marry do not have to be famous ladies, but at least the family background must be innocent and reliable, and the husband and wife must be of one heart and one mind, so fate is hard to find, wait a minute. Lu Chen shook his head and replied.

The summer rain came and went quickly, and before the evening, the sun came out again, the sunset illuminated the blue sky, and the large sunset was also reflected in the dazzling sunset, thinking that tomorrow should be a good day.

On the treetops of the moon, Lu Chen suddenly became interested, changed into light clothes and took Lu Tong out of the house and strolled to the west of the city.

"Third son, where are we going, do you want to arrange a few more people to follow secretly" Although Lu Tong is young, he is old-fashioned.

"No need, nothing to do, let's go to the west of the city to see, I have heard that the Beijing night market is very lively, the lights are shining, these years have gone south and north but have not really entered the ordinary life of Kyoto, today after the rain and the sky is clear, the air is fresh, let's go around." Lu Chen looked relaxed.

"Great, I've wanted to see it for a long time, I heard that there are puppets, fire-breathers, monkeys, and countless shops and stalls selling snacks, which is a great scene in the capital." Lu Tong is very happy, he is young, and his temperament is lively, he has been busy with his son for more than half a year in the capital, he just runs an errand by himself, watching his son in the study for six or seven hours a day, his eyes are red, he sees in his eyes but there is nothing he can do, there is no way to share it for his son, he only hopes that he can grow up as soon as possible and share the worries of his son alone. Today's weather is rare, and the son is willing to go out of the house for a walk, and he wants to write home to report to the master.

Following the shouting by the moat, Lu Chen and the others came to the legendary Beijing Night Market, the heavy rain washed the road surface as clean as new, walked along the river step by step, and walked into the sound and lights of the lights, and felt that the voices of people were bustling. Lu Chen slowly shook the paper fan in his hand, listening to Lu Tong's accidental exclamation behind him, his heart was full of calm and satisfaction. This is what he wants, the lights of thousands of homes, prosperity and peace.

"Childe, come and see, there is a ring here, it seems to be an archery, and the prize is a dagger that can be broken." Lu Tong greeted in front.

Or Lu Tong is indeed young and tender, others don't blame him for shouting, but think that this little boy is innocent and lively, and responded with a smile and said that this is not cheap, a silver challenge, thirty out of ten arrows can be considered to win. That dagger is indeed a good thing, it is said that it was made by the famous craftsmen of the previous dynasty, but unfortunately many strong men have been defeated tonight.

Lu Tong was not discouraged, he knew Lu Chen's strength, when he was ten years old, Lu Chen had already pierced Yang Arrow in a hundred steps, but he didn't know if he would make a move. Even if it is himself, he is fifty percent sure that he can do it. It's just that the third prince has always taught everyone to be low-key and humble, so they don't show kung fu very much in front of people.

Lu Chen looked at Lu Tong's bright and slightly expectant eyes, shook his head with a smile, closed the paper fan in his hand, and tapped Lu Tong's head before saying, "You go, since you come out to play today, you can have fun." ”

Lu Tong nodded, stepped forward to hand over the challenge principal, and took the arrow to inhale and start.

Lu Chen has seen it, and it is not difficult to shoot thirty arrows out of ten arrows, but this is not a regular shooting of willow branches and apples, but of flying birds. The man who looked like the lord didn't look like a native of the Central Plains, with an obviously exotic nose bridge and a dark and rough face, and a wide robe that didn't hide his muscular body. There are a lot of fist-sized flying birds in the cage beside him, waiting for the people around him to challenge. After Lu Tong put down the principal, the man said a little accented Zhongyuan dialect and opened a cage.

Although Lu Tong is young, his kung fu is not weak, the arrows are not missing, after ten arrows are shot, Lu Chen obviously saw that the face of the champion has changed, Lu Chen knows that Lu Tong has done it without counting, no more, no less just shot down thirty birds, there is some luck in it, but it also shows the strength. Seeing that the owner handed the dagger to the elated Lu Tong with a bitter face, Lu Chen didn't say anything but threw another three taels of silver to the stall owner, and then took Lu Tong to continue walking.

"The third son, there is a hydrangea throwing in front of you to recruit relatives, it seems to be the Ningchen girl of the Ningxiang Pavilion." Lu Tong just put away the dagger, looked around again and looked for the excitement, and really asked him to find a group of people in front of him to surround him, step on his feet and look at the signboard, and he wanted to join in the fun.

"I'm already thinking about spring at a young age, so let my son help you grab the hydrangea, and your courage is getting fatter and fatter." Although Lu Chen said this, Lu Tong heard that there was not much anger in Gongzi's mouth. Sure enough, before he could answer, Lu Chen said, "Let's go, but just look at it and don't need to rob it".

Lu Chen didn't look down on these girls, but after all, he didn't know the details, and he had to guard against people. The two of them walked towards the attic of the Incense Pavilion.

Before he got closer, Lu Chen saw an unexpected acquaintance.
