After all, Lai'an City is not as prosperous and rich as Guangling, and the buildings in the city are far from being worth every inch of land, so the house where Lu Shen lives is quite spacious, and the area alone is even more than that of Guangling Lu House.

Wang Chulong lived in the East Cross Courtyard, and after Song Pei asked Lu Shen for instructions, he added a few more maids and rough mothers-in-law here, and went to the kitchen to say hello, adding some northern flavors to the recipe.

She watched the servants help carry the luggage brought by Wang Chulong, in addition to the clothes, hairpins and various supplies that the master and servant needed, there were only six heavy boxes, even if the four of them carried it together, it was still a little laborious.

Although he was a little curious, Song Pei didn't ask much, but Jin Shu saw everyone's cautious looks, and took the initiative to say: "You don't have to be too careless, these boxes are filled with my young lady's books, and it's okay to be rough." ”

Song Pei couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

After the general cleaning was done, she went into the room and saluted Wang Chulong: "If the girl has anything to do, she only needs to tell the maid. ”

Wang Chulong smiled and said, "There is Miss Lao Song." When we met for the first time, there was nothing else, so I asked the girl to accept it with a little heart. ”

Before the words fell, Jin Shu held a small box and opened it in front of Song Pei, only to see a bright and warm jade bracelet inside.

How dare Song Pei accept it, she repeatedly excused herself: "Girl, this can't be helped." ”

Wang Chulong stepped forward, took out the jade bracelet from the box, stuffed it into Song Pei's hand without saying a word, and said softly: "I will live here for a long time, and there will be a lot of trouble for you in the future." If you accept this little bit of heart, I can live in peace of mind, and you should give me a few thin noodles, how about it? ”

Although Song Pei has also learned a lot of tricks in dealing with people, at this moment, in the face of such a frank attitude of this eldest lady of the family, it was difficult to refuse, so she had to bow her head and say: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Wang Chulong said: "I am not very strict about food, clothing, housing and transportation, even if there are one or two taboos, let Jinshu talk and listen to it later." ”

Song Pei responded: "Yes." ”

Wang Chulong asked Jinshu to take more than ten silver tickets with a denomination of two taels, and handed them to Song Pei, so that she could distribute them to the servants who were carrying things outside.

Everyone has a reward, and everyone is happy.

Although the subordinates of the Lu family have been taught by Lu Tong, there are almost no people with particularly shallow eyelids, but if they don't hit the smiling person, after getting the reward, they will naturally feel that this new noble woman has an excellent character.

There are five main rooms on this side of the east courtyard, the courtyard is quiet and quiet, the indoor windows are bright and clean, although there is no particularly luxurious furnishings, but all the furniture is new, and it is also pleasant to look at.

The brocade book turned around inside and out, and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss, the preparations here are very complete." ”

Wang Chulong bowed his head and said: "The Lu family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Huaizhou, of course he will not be negligent in these details. ”

Jinshu finally put his mind at ease, and said with a sweet smile: "The maid will go and ask someone to prepare hot water for Miss." ”

Wang Chulong responded: "Okay." ”

Lu Shen did not appear again on the next day, Song Pei said that he went to the governor's mansion, Xiao Dadu had something to discuss, Wang Chulong had nothing to do, the master and servant finished washing, and simply had a dinner and rested.

The next morning, Lu Shen finally appeared.

Wang Chulong invited him to meet him in the main hall, and after the brocade book offered the fragrant tea, he stood behind Wang Chulong, looking at his nose and nose and heart extremely well-behaved.

The first impression of the young man and woman on each other was not bad after they met in a hurry yesterday, so today's conversation had a warm atmosphere from the beginning.

Lu Shen was the first to speak: "Miss Wang must be quite tired from trekking through mountains and rivers all the way, I shouldn't have come to bother me so soon, but there are some things that can't be delayed, and I ask the girl to forgive me." ”

"Lu Gongzi is serious."

Wang Chulong lowered his eyes slightly, and then said: "Zhai Lin Wang's family stooped to the Jing Dynasty back then, even though there were thousands of difficulties, after all, they betrayed Daqi. In the past ten years, the elders in the family have often sighed, but there is no regret medicine in the world, so they can only wait patiently for the opportunity in secret. Last year, Lu Gongzi strategized and assisted the two governors to cross the battlefield, so that my parents could see a glimmer of light, so there was a move to go south today. ”

Lu Shen glanced at her quietly.

He learned about the temperament and life of the eldest lady of the family in front of him from Wang Jun's mouth, and also got some corroborating information from the Warp Weaving Department and the Lu family firm, and knew very well that Wang Chulong was by no means a deep lady who was ignorant of the world, otherwise Wang An and Wang Chengna's scheming brothers would not allow her to go to Huaizhou alone.

From her attitude towards Tan Zheng, Song Pei and even the servants in the house, it can be seen that this eldest lady is good at dealing with people, although she is delicate and thin, she is full of talent and wisdom.

It's just that Lu Shen was a little surprised that the other party would put his posture so low in his words.

The average person doesn't have the courage to admit his mistakes.

Thinking of this, Lu Shen said gently: "The sword and axe are powerless to fight, this is the simplest truth in the world, not to mention that your Wang family has a large population. Compared to a thousand living human lives, a moment of subservience is nothing, at least to me. ”

With me......

The implication is that he naturally doesn't care about the attitude towards Zhai Lin Wang's things back then, but there is no guarantee that the above, especially the Son of Heaven, can completely let go of the mustard, after all, it depends on the progress of the follow-up cooperation between the two sides.

Wang Chulong secretly savored these four words, and a soft color appeared on his face: "Uncle Jia has a saying, Lu Gongzi's scheming is as deep as the sea, and he is especially good at holding people's hearts in the clouds and mountains. Now when I see it in person, I know that this is groundless speculation and cannot be true. ”

Lu Shen smiled dumbly, and said leisurely: "I didn't expect Uncle Ling's evaluation of Lu to be so high." ”

Wang Chulong couldn't help but wonder: "In Lu Gongzi's opinion, such an evaluation is actually praise? ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "My father said that I don't know how to be flexible in temperament, and Governor Xiao once said that I was too upright, although I am not stupid, after all, I am a little less flexible." If I can really manipulate people's hearts in the treacherous storm as Uncle Ling said, at least the elders should be very pleased. ”

The two talked happily, which made Jinshu, who was standing next to him, confused.

Didn't Miss say that this Lu Gongzi is a standard iron-blooded soldier, and he is resolute in his decision, why does he seem to be like an elegant son now?

She naturally didn't know that Lu Shen was a kind of alienated respect, and he would not deliberately show the so-called manliness in front of them.

Wang Chulong knew this, she didn't think that the two would be able to make friends just after they met, in fact, as long as the current friendly atmosphere was maintained, her trip would be half successful, so she went straight to the point and said: "Lu Gongzi, does the Huaizhou border army take Qingtian City and Yongquan Pass as the only goal?" ”

Lu Shen said calmly: "Regardless of whether it is the only one, these two dangerous places will stop the pace of the Huaizhou army going north, and our army will inevitably set them as targets." Previously, my uncle sent someone to send a topographic map of Dongyang Road, which was good, but it could not solve the fortified city defense of these two places. In fact, according to my personal thoughts, it is difficult to blindly take advantage of the targets on the battlefield, and the Huaizhou army must learn how to fight tough battles. ”

He paused slightly, looked at Wang Chulong and said: "You can't rely on the help of external forces in everything, if the Zhai Lin Wang clan really has such terrifying strength, it will not be subservient to others." ”

After all, it showed a bit of sharpness.

Wang Chulong had expected this, and said, "Lu Gongzi is reasonable. In addition to showing the sincerity of the Wang family to the Huaizhou Governor's Office, I also brought some information that you may need. ”

Lu Shen said unhurriedly: "Please speak." ”

Wang Chulong took the teacup and moistened his throat, and then said slowly: "Chulong is not talented, and he tried to deduce the border war on the way here. Inferring from the style of the governor of Huaizhou Xiao Dadu, you want to repeat the old tricks, and send troops from the security line to the north to force Qingtian and Yongquan, and then set up doubts on Moyang Road. In this way, perhaps the Yan Dynasty will make a wrong judgment and gather heavy troops in the heart of Moyang Road. On this basis, Governor Xiao Dadu used the elite main force to attack Yongquan Pass with the power of thunder. ”

Lu Shen rubbed the teacup in his right hand and asked indifferently, "Why is it Yongquan Pass and not Qingtian City?" ”

Wang Chulong replied: "Because Yongquan Pass can be attacked by surprise, Qingtian City can only be attacked. Moreover, after the capture of Yongquan Pass, the main force of the Huaizhou army could detour to Tongshan City, cut off the Yan army's support for Qingtian City in the south, and then turn Qingtian City into a Jedi. What Lu Gongzi said just now is indeed reasonable, no army can expect to always have internal responses, and it must sharpen its ability to fight tough battles. Under the premise that Qingtian City has become a Jedi, Governor Xiao can calmly rotate his troops, making this lonely city a whetstone for the soldiers of the Huaizhou army, forging a sharp sword little by little. ”

Jin Shu couldn't help but puff up his chest quietly, and a look of honor appeared in his eyes.

Lu Shen raised his eyes to look at Wang Chulong, and the two of them looked at each other, and there was no meaning of charm.

He asked calmly: "So, Miss Wang doesn't agree with this strategy?" ”

"Don't dare."

Wang Chulong's tone was soft, and then he said: "Chulong is just talking on paper, and he has not seen the cruelty of war, how can he talk about gains and losses." I went south to Huaizhou this time, and I also brought a gift prepared by my uncle, which may be helpful to Lu Gongzi and Xiao Dadudu, but this gift deviates from Lu Gongzi's previous plan. ”

Lu Shen said: "Miss Wang, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wang Chulong said softly: "Although Uncle Jia is the ruler of the Yan Dynasty, he has been trying to cultivate strength all these years, but it has been difficult to reach his hand into the army. The Yan army was mainly divided into several forces, such as the current Privy Counsellor Pang Shigu lineage, the deceased former Privy Counsellor Chen Jingtang line, and Jing Dynasty's supporters in the army. Therefore, my family can not provide much help, only Pingli City in the southwest of Dongyang Road, the guard can be used by me. In addition, Zhu Zhen, the head of the Moyang Road Soldiers and Horses, is also from my family. ”

Pingli City?

The location of this city came to Lu Shen's mind, it is located in the north of Panlong Pass, which is the southwest gateway of Dongyang Road, and Xinchang City, which belongs to Moyang Road, is like two fists, building a solid defense line to control the exit of the Panlong Army.

As for Zhu Zhen, the head of the soldiers and horses of Moyang Road, although this person is not a famous general in the world, Lu Shen knows him very well.

When Xiao Wangzhi feinted to attack Qingtian City last year, this Zhu Governor was ordered by Chen Xiaokuan, the former general of Moyang Road, to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to rush north to help, and then returned to Moyang Road in a gloomy manner, without any achievements from beginning to end.

After Wang Chulong said this, Lu Shen fell into deep thought, and she and Jinshu looked at the young and handsome man curiously.

Different from the previous gentle and elegant, although Lu Shen was silent at this moment, he had an awe-inspiring momentum.

It's like a tiger standing on a dragon's plate.

After a while, Lu Shen looked at Wang Chulong and said quietly: "Miss Wang, I need to consider the benefits and disadvantages, maybe I will revise the previous established strategy, and come back in two days to ask for advice." ”

Wang Chulong said: "But if you ask, you know everything." ”

Lu Shen temporarily put aside what he was thinking, and asked Wang Chulong with concern what he thought about his life in the meantime, and he was very polite and respectful, and there was nothing wrong with it.

After a while, Lu Shen got up to say goodbye, and Wang Chulong personally sent him to the door.

When he turned around, Jin Shu whispered: "Miss, what do you think of Lu Gongzi?" ”

Wang Chulong looked ahead and said softly, "Very good." ”

She smiled bitterly in her heart, Lu Shen was polite and courteous from beginning to end, isn't this a kind of rustiness?

But......

Now that you've taken the first step, it's better than being indifferent.

At the same time, she was a little curious, but she didn't know what kind of big plan the young man would come up with.

Unconsciously, she gradually began to think about problems from Lu Shen's point of view.

Although Lu Shen has been a human being for two lives, after all, he will sometimes ignore the characteristics of this era, like Wang Chulong, who went south alone and lived in the Lu Mansion without hesitation, can she still marry someone else in the future?

From the moment Wang Chulong decided to go south, the happiness of her life was pinned on a strange man.

I only hope that he is a good man.

The woman looked up at the blue sky and sighed quietly.
