Outside the gate of the Lu Mansion, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid came to the carriage angrily, frowned and said, "Girl, the people inside are so rude!" ”

A gentle voice came from inside the carriage: "Come in and say." ”

The maid entered the carriage as she said, and a young woman inside looked at her expression and smiled: "This is expected, why should you be so wronged." ”

This woman is Gu Wan'er, one of the five major Oiran in Beijing.

She was wearing a moon-white smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with moon satin embroidered magnolia flying butterfly gauze, outlining a slender and delicate figure.

The green silk is combed into a flying fairy bun, there is no gold and silver hairpin ornament, only a hosta is lightly pulled, and the tip of the hairpin hangs like a small chain like a drop of water, and it is like rain when it shakes slightly.

The eyes are like Ling Bo, the eyebrows are like ink drawings, the appearance is clear and beautiful like a fairy, there is a fresh and natural natural carving, especially the charm of her lips between her eyebrows, elegant and gentle, the view is cordial, and there is no vulgar atmosphere of the worldly red dust.

In fact, the maid's appearance can be regarded as a beauty embryo, and she has the agility and beauty of her age, but she is overshadowed by Gu Wan'er.

She sat opposite Gu Wan'er and said sadly: "The maid is not wronged for herself, but for the girl who feels unworthy." It is true that Lu Gongzi is young and promising, but the girl is also famous in this capital, and many dignitaries want to ask to meet but can't. Now that the girl has redeemed herself and is willing to enter the house as a slave and a maidservant, he has put up a shelf, which is really unreasonable. ”

The Oiran in this world is not only beautiful in color, but also indispensable in skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Gu Wan'er is especially good at piano and calligraphy, this maid named Mo'er reads poetry and books with her all year round, and her conversation is also good.

Listening to Mo'er's indignant words, Gu Wan'er's eyebrows were tired, and she said softly: "This Lu Gongzi has a great future, and he is a very ambitious person, how can he have anything to do with a person of my status." You don't have to feel wronged for me, after all, you are ordered by others and let others handle it. ”

Mo'er naturally knew why her girl didn't do a good Oiran, and she wanted to redeem herself and make such a big noise.

The so-called dignitaries can't ask for it, but it's just a water moon mirror flower.

In the eyes of the third young master of the Li family, the mere Oiran is just a plaything that comes and goes as soon as it is called.

If Gu Wan'er dared to resist the other party's order, maybe she would turn into a floating corpse in the pond at any time.

Mo Erden became more and more sad, and asked with concern, "Girl, what should I do next?" ”

Gu Wan'er sighed lightly and said, "As long as I act as ordered, the Third Young Master will not be too harsh, but this Lu Gongzi is afraid that he is in some trouble." ”

Mo'er's eyes widened, revealing a slightly dazed look.

Seeing this, Gu Wan'er explained: "In the past two days, the details of Jiangbei's victory have begun to spread in the city, and Lu Gongzi got his name. If I can't get in today, I'll have to wait here tomorrow, and if I can't do tomorrow, I'll be the day after tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, I'm afraid I'm not the only one here, and more and more people will come here to watch. ”

Mo'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

"For a fledgling young general, it is actually not a good thing to make such a formation when he first comes to the capital. Moreover, there should be many people who use this to attack him. ”

Gu Wan'er knew Li Sanlang's tricks well, and in her opinion, if this matter was not handled properly in a timely manner, the rookie of the border army named Lu Shen would probably become the target of some literati's verbal criticism.

Mo'er was worried about Lu Shen at the moment, and said cautiously: "Girl, why don't you go to the housekeeper again?" ”

Gu Wan'er pondered for a moment, bowed her head slightly, and said, "It's okay, but don't involve others." ”

Mo'er responded: "The maid understands, the girl can rest assured." ”

She knocked on the door of the mansion again, but this time no one answered, as if the people inside were determined to ignore them.

The girl looked at it in a daze, and didn't get a response for a long time, so she couldn't help but grit her silver teeth and said, "I don't know the hearts of good people!" ”

The house chosen by Lu Tong was secluded, so the arrival of this carriage and Mo'er's actions did not attract the attention of others.

Until it was about to darken, there was still no movement at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the carriage could only choose to leave in the end.

"Young master, they're gone."

In the study room of the back house, Chen Shu looked at Lu Shen, who was sitting quietly in front of the window, and said respectfully.

Lu Shen responded lightly, continued to flip through the scrolls in front of him, and after a while, he turned his head to look, and saw that Chen Shu was still standing in place, and immediately understood his thoughts, and smiled: "What are you worried about?" ”

Chen Shu already knew the origin and purpose of that Song Yun, so he naturally knew the origin of today's scene.

This Oiran named Gu Wan'er took the initiative to come to the door, there is no doubt that it was the instigation of Li Jiazaburo, if she was allowed to enter the door, she might cause some trouble, but if the door was closed like this, it would also be a little troublesome.

As soon as he thought of this, he said cautiously: "Young master, the other party's attitude is very resolute, I'm afraid he won't retreat in the face of difficulties, and he should come back tomorrow." The villain was thinking that Li Sanlang must be trying to force the young master to meet him, so he wouldn't just let Gu Wan'er wait outside the house, and most of them would cause trouble. ”

"For example?"

"Gu Wan'er is such an Oiran and a famous prostitute, and she has the title of a Qing person, and there are countless admirers, once the news spreads that she took the initiative to redeem herself just to serve the young master, I am afraid that our family will no longer be pure."

"Go on."

"Like Gu Wan'er, whose identity is the most touted by literati, these people are extremely influential in the capital, once they think that the young master is despicable and slow to treat beautiful people, they will make a noise. From ancient times to the present, this kind of literati is the most troublesome, and he is extremely good at seductive people's hearts in the battle of words. Although the young master is a military general and does not take the imperial examination, he does not need to attach too much importance to the name of the noble, but he can't let them be allowed to make money. ”

Chen Shu is a top-ranked shopkeeper in the Lu family's huge business system, and he has always been highly valued by Lu Tong, so he let Lu Shen enter Beijing with Lu Shen this time, with the original intention of asking him to help Lu Shen do everything.

He is familiar with the world, and he can see at a glance the danger hidden behind Gu Wan'er's sudden appearance.

The key is that this matter is not easy to handle, in the unfamiliar territory of the capital, in the face of a top gentleman like Li Jia Saburo, they can hardly hide secrets. Even if Lu Shen moved to live elsewhere overnight, I am afraid that he would be found out by the other party.

It is obviously not possible to let Gu Wan'er enter the door, but if she hides in a small building and ignores the ups and downs outside, it is too passive.

Lu Shen knew that Chen Shu was thinking about himself, so he smiled and said, "Is it that as long as I accept that Li Sanlang's invitation, this Gu Huakui will leave on his own?" ”

"It should be like this, but-" Chen Shu paused slightly, and said with a straight face: "Young master, you must not bow your head to Li Sanlang." It is now in a critical period, and if the Son of Heaven misunderstands that Ling has a relationship with the Li family, it may affect all the border generals. ”

"Actually, that's what I want to say."

Lu Shen's expression was calm, and the waves in his eyes gradually rose: "You don't have to worry, if Gu Wan'er comes again tomorrow, or if she arrives with some messy people, she will make noise outside with them." I'm curious about one thing now, when exactly His Majesty in the palace is going to see the play. ”

……

Imperial City, Wende Hall East Warm Pavilion.

At sunset, the palace gate has been closed and martial law inside and outside, and ordinary ministers will definitely not be able to approach the palace, but Qin Zheng is not among them.

Except for the left and right ministers, the privy counselor Guo Congyi, and the general Wang Yan, Qin was the only minister who could appear in the palace at any time.

“…… These things were all done by Li Yunyi, the youngest grandson of Zuo Xiang, although he deliberately concealed it from Zuo Xiang, but with his minister's understanding of Zuo Xiang, he should know about it, but he acquiesced to Li Yunyi doing this. Recently, there has been an undercurrent in Beijing, and those people are worried that His Majesty will set up a new army in Jiangbei, or take the opportunity to transfer the general of the border army to the center, so they choose to attack Lu Shen, a representative young general. ”

Qin Zheng said unhurriedly.

After the imperial case, Li Duan put down a notebook, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said lightly: "In this way, this matter is Li Yunyi's head, and the others are close behind, as long as Lu Shen is charged with arrogance and arrogance, and then implicates other border generals, they think I have to take a step back?" ”

Qin Zheng bowed his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

He briefly recounted what happened outside the Lu Mansion today.

When Li Duan heard the news that the carriage had been waiting outside Lu's house for a day, and the gate was always closed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up slightly, and he said leisurely: "This Lu Shen didn't take the wrong name, he really calmed down." I remember you said earlier that he is still the warp weaver's director? ”

Qin Zheng replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Li Duan smiled and said: "Such a heart is indeed suitable for the Warp Weaving Division, but unfortunately Xiao Wangzhi will definitely not let him go, and I can't help you in this matter." ”

"Your Majesty is loved, and the ministers are inscribed." Qin Zheng skipped this section and said: "The minister has already informed Lu Shen of Li Yunyi's details and calculations, thinking that he can stick to the bottom line." It's just that something will definitely happen next, then Li Yunyi has always been doted on by Zuo Xiang, and his temperament is extremely arrogant and domineering, Lu Shen may not be his opponent, do you want the minister to come forward to deal with this matter? ”

Li Duan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If it is really necessary, I can naturally summon them directly to meet them, but there is no rush at the moment, I want to see how far these people will go." ”

Qin Zhengden knew that the Son of Heaven in front of him had been in Yuyu for twelve years, and it seemed that he had been making peace with the courtiers below, but in fact, he was just secretly accumulating strength.

The entry of the military generals of the border army into Beijing is just a reason, and what the Son of Heaven really wants to see is the mind of the Manchu minister.

"That Gu Quanwu ......" Li Duan said in a calm tone, and said indifferently: "Zuo Xiang should know that he is the person of your warp weaving department, this time he plucked Li Yunyi to deal with Lu Shen, Zuo Xiang will not turn a blind eye, I am afraid that this old minister is also going to bury a secret here." Next, you have to cut off his relationship with the warp weaver in time, so as not to harm yourself. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister knows what to do."

Qin Zheng responded calmly and calmly.

As for Lu Shen, Li Tianrun and Xiao Wangzhi praised him. I believe that the eyes of these two Grand Governors will certainly not be easily grasped by a single gentleman. ”

Li Duan paused for a moment and said slowly: "However, these young generals serve the country, and they must not chill their hearts. You are watching from the sidelines, and if there is something discordant, you will act in time, and you can't let them suffer grievances in the capital. ”

Qin Zheng bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”
