Chapter Fifty-Seven: Li Nanfeng
With the dust settled, the turbulent tide of Lin'an City completely subsided, and Lin'an City was a huge construction site at this time, with countless carts transporting wood, bricks, and sand and gravel in and out of the city.
"Look at this smoky miasma, I'm afraid it won't stop for many months, or the lakeside is clean, you and my brother are free to talk!"
In the spring of March, the West Lake is full of tourists, the scholars are thin in green shirts, and the beauties are pretty and warm. No matter how terrifying the past trend is, life still has to go on beautifully.
Many people in Lin'an have a legend that the sound of ghosts crying can be heard at night in the "lakeside", as well as the "click" sound of the big knife cutting the neck, the "gurgling" sound of blood flowing out of the cavity, and although the blood stains on the "lakeside" have been cleaned, the air is still filled with a strong smell of blood.
Probably only a bastard like Li Nanfeng doesn't pay attention to these.
Wu Yang and Li Nanfeng did not wear official uniforms, Wu Yang was dressed in azure regular clothes, with jade on his waist. The hair was tied into a bun with a blue hairpin, and a willow branch was folded in his hand at will, and he looked like the second ancestor in Lin'an City, and the silk was the same, no one would have thought that this was the daily unsmiling Imperial City Si Tidian Wu Yang Wu.
Li Nanfeng was dressed in a dark brocade robe of stone blue, and his belt of the same color was adorned with several gems, jade pendants, snuff bottles, and purses...... Hung up on several things. He wore a black soft-footed head on his head, and his hat wings were also stone blue, which lined his jade face and red lips, and he looked forward to his life.
The two of them, one heroic, the other gentle and amiable, rode a high-headed horse, attracting the attention of countless little ladies along the way.
The servants set up a small table on the "lakeside", spread brocade felt, and the two sat opposite each other to drink in the wind, Li Nanfeng sighed with self-pity: "Pity my brother's good skin, if it weren't for the fact that the Hedong lion in the family is too evil and too fierce, my brother will definitely marry a few more beautiful concubines!" Hey, jealous! ”
Li Nanfeng has always been a good person, and Wu Yang has long been used to it.
Opposite the two of them is the West Lake, which is seriously silted up at this time, and the lake is almost impossible to sail except for the narrow boat.
After a winter of brewing, the lotus root buried in the silt has new leaves, and some are accompanied by small flower buds.
Wu Yang twisted the thin magnetic wine glass that had rained over the azure with three fingers, raised the glass to the lake, as if saying goodbye to an old man who liked lotus flowers, and then sprinkled the wine in the cup evenly on the ground.
He remembered the old man's last words.
"Lord Xiao Wu said that it is my Han Mansion's family affair to succeed the backbone of the Great Song Wuren, which is not entirely true! It should be said that there is the selfishness of the old man, and the old man really does not want his father to be tainted by his name. It can continue the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty warriors and preserve the blood of the Great Song Dynasty warriors, which is the duty of every Song person who has the responsibility of the family and country! ”
The old man looked at Wu Yang with a smile: "Otherwise, why would Lord Wu think that the old man is the son of a late prime minister, and the concubine of the Shenzong Dynasty can let so many officials, students, soldiers, and people fly drums and shouts for Yue?" Why do you think that the old man has so much energy to stir up the court and overturn the Lin'an market? ”
The old man's smile became brighter and brighter, "Lord Wu, it is true that you and I are both His Majesty's courtiers, but this world is not the world of His Majesty alone!" ”
Li Nanfeng also raised his glass to the lake after following Wu Yang's example, and then spilled the wine in the cup on the ground.
"It's a pity that the captain of the horse is a good old man. You said that you are so old, isn't it good to enjoy your old age? Yuan Bao'er has grown up, and it's not appropriate to tease your grandson, but don't you have five or six sons, how good it would be for them to give birth to a few more for you to play! What are you doing with all this nonsense in Lin'an? Good people are gone......"
Wu Yang was sure that he didn't say who was the one who was sacrificed with wine just now, but Li Nanfeng, a gentleman, captured it accurately at once, and he couldn't help but look at this royal relative who had always been hippie and smiling.
Li Nanfeng couldn't stand Wu Yang's scorching gaze, he opened his five fingers and shook wildly: "Don't look at my brother and me with this kind of vision!" Although my brother is abusive, he only likes the white and tender little lady, but he doesn't have those indiscriminate hobbies! ”
Wu Yang: "Pretend, you continue to pretend!" ”
Li Nanfeng: "Surrender and surrender, in fact, what is difficult to guess, you don't have any relatives and friends in Lin'an City, and the only person who can let you sacrifice with wine recently is the old man of the horse Duwei." ”
He patted Wu Yang on the shoulder: "Don't feel sorry for him, Captain Ma saved the entire Han Mansion with one life, it's worth it!" Besides, although his housekeeper named Han Rang killed himself in front of him, didn't he still have the reputation of a 'loyal servant'? The official family also gave his eldest son a Chengjielang, although it is the lowest nine grades, but in the end he is also an official, isn't it? If you want me to say that Old Man Han really reaped all the benefits, otherwise Han Rang would not still die if he fell into the hands of the Imperial City Division, and it would be an extremely disgraceful death. ”
Li Nanfeng filled the cups of the two of them with wine again, and touched the cup lightly: "If you want me to say, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow will be sad." You just live too unhappily, just like those small people who are promoted to fight, you have become a false name in the Shaobao family! Look at my brother and me, I can not only guard the palace ban, but also add fragrance to my red sleeves, how good! ”
Wu Yang didn't want to talk about this topic, so he took a sip of wine and asked, "Didn't you take the land, why didn't you start the construction?" Is it that the drawings have not been planned yet? ”
Speaking of this, Li Nanfeng immediately danced with his eyebrows: "It's rare to get the land, so you naturally have to plan well." Your sister-in-law asked me to ask someone to find the best craftsman in the Ministry of Works, and be sure to build the house into the only one in Lin'an City. By the way, your brother also helped you find someone to survey together, just wait for the drawings to come out and you agree, and the two of us will start working together! ”
Wu Yang was surprised: "Me? I don't have the money to buy land! ”
Li Nanfeng: "It's the money from the official private treasury!" Originally, you didn't have that piece of land, I said that I missed my mouth when I was on duty, and the official family heard the brochure that asked someone to send to introduce the plot, and forcibly pulled out a small piece of land next to me, and paid according to the market price, but the title deed was in your name, and all the documents were handled by my brother and I in person, I can't be wrong! ”
Seeing Wu Yang frowning, Li Nanfeng poured another glass of wine: "Don't think that the land is small, it is enough for you to build a garden and build a two-entry house, even if you marry the prime minister's daughter, you will not disgrace her when you enter the door!" ”
Wu Yang dried up the wine, "Where do I dislike the small place, I don't know, I haven't gone to thank you, I feel uncomfortable!" ”
Li Nanfeng smiled sheepishly: "What's uncomfortable about this? I'll say one more, you're afraid that you'll be even more uncomfortable when you hear it! ”
"Don't sell it, if you have anything to say, hurry up!"
"This time, you entered the palace less, and the empress and several palace ladies were busy, so that the Chinese military officials of the DPRK presented portraits of unmarried daughters of appropriate age into the palace. I guess it's going to be a concubine for King Jian, as well as several sons of King Jian, and several sons of King Enping have also reached the age of marriage. ”
Wu Yang didn't care about his own family affairs, and asked, "Why is it for King Jian's concubine?" Didn't the prince's wife die? The seat of the concubine has been vacant......"
Li Nanfeng picked up a fried peanut and threw it into his mouth, and said locally: "You don't understand this, do you?" The concubine of King Jian must have chosen one of the two ladies beside him to straighten up, and she can't be wrong! Those two are both palace maids of Queen Wu, and they are the most trusted by the queen! Forget it, what does someone else's family do to him? My brother only asks you, do you have a favorite little lady in Lin'an? You are thin-skinned, brother, I will go to the queen for you to blow the wind and keep the lady you want to marry! ”
Wu Yang was about to speak, when he saw Bai Yu wincing at him on one side. Wu Yang beckoned him to come over and speak.
Bai Yu saluted Li Nanfeng and said to Wu Yang: "Fan Zhangyin sent someone to ask for a trip to the palace, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”
