Chapter 16: An Analysis of the Son
The long and slightly curled eyelashes of the county lord of Pingnan trembled slightly, and a trace of emotional fluctuations under her cold eyes was fleeting, and she soon regained her indifferent eyes.
"I don't like to drink water when I'm reading, so take it away." She didn't reach out to pick it up, and after saying a few words lightly, she returned to her seat, and put Lu Fan's poems back on the table by the way.
Lu Fan doesn't care, even if it's rejected, it's nothing, I'll just lick mine, it's not a conflict.
He still put the sugar cane water in front of the county lord, then picked up the poems on the table and continued to read them.
In the next few days, Lu Fan would arrive at the Yellow Crane Tower on time, and he would also bring some pastries and drinks with him, and he would prepare two portions each time.
Although the county lord of Pingnan has never eaten it, Lu Fan is still happy to do it.
At first, because Lu Fan was by his side, the county lord couldn't calm down, and he always felt a little uncomfortable. But now she had grown accustomed to ignoring him and concentrating on reading.
No matter what era the dog licking, nothing ends well...... Lu Fan deeply understood this truth in his heart.
But the system needs to play this character, for the sake of system rewards, the current effort is worth it!
If you think about it carefully, the characters required by this system are very pitiful. But it's also better than some people who are locked up in prison at the beginning, at least he still has the system.
It's not too difficult to do things that can be done with a tongue.
But these poems are really boring, if you can write a few poems, they will resonate with heaven and earth, where is there such trouble.
He put down the scroll in his hand and stretched. However, because of the two legs stretched forward, the shoes happened to touch a snow-white calf exposed under the county lord's long skirt.
"Ahem...... Excuse me. ”
Lu Fan's apology only received an indifferent look, and the county lord of Pingnan didn't believe that Lu Fan was unintentional at all, and even felt that he must be taking the opportunity to rub oil.
"Tomorrow the Yellow Crane Tower will hold a poetry meeting, and you won't need it." The county lord of Pingnan left a cold word, and got up to leave.
Poetry Club?
Lu Fan had some impressions in his heart, it seemed that every year the county lord of Pingnan would hold a poetry meeting in the Yellow Crane Tower. People who love poetry gather together and have fun competing with poetry.
However, he had never paid attention to these before, and the kendo monk and the Confucian monk who liked poetry were two different paths.
The county lord of Pingnan likes poetry, so this poetry meeting must not be missed...... Lu Fan made a decision in his heart and got up to leave the Yellow Crane Tower.
After he returned to the Guogong Mansion, he still didn't hear the news of his father's return.
Since that day, Lu Guogong has been in the palace. He only found out when he received a letter from his father at night.
I haven't been back for so long, so I think it's going to be fine...... Lu Fan's worries in his heart were only fleeting, and he even felt that this idea was not realistic.
No matter where Lu Guogong encounters danger, he will never be in the palace.
……
In the Drunken Immortal Building, since what happened that night, the number of guests has not decreased at all, but has increased.
Originally, the regulars of the restaurant knew Aunt Hong, but they hadn't seen her in the past few days, and they asked two questions at first. Later, Zuixianlou sent a new bustard over, and no one paid attention to this matter anymore.
Xiaoxiang is still the Oiran here, and when a guest mentions what happened that night, she responds with a smile and keeps silent.
"Skinny Monkey, what did you do the other day? Did you know that you missed a big show! ”
The thin monkey came to the familiar seat, and when the regular customers next to him saw him, they all began to gossip. This is the place where the news of the Beijing gossip is most widely circulated, and the thin monkey must not know the specific news of that night if he did not come.
He was still in the same ragged appearance, with thin cheeks, disheveled hair, and slightly sallow skin after being exposed to the wind and sun.
"The Guogong Mansion would make such a choice...... "The thin monkey raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the wine in the cup and drank it down.
Many of the regulars who come here are curious about the identity of the skinny monkey, his daily salary is not much, and it is said that some people meet him during the day carrying heavy sacks to earn copper plates.
If this is true, then he will only make enough money to come here and drink.
"Skinny monkey, I said it last time, do I want to introduce you to a job? Everyone likes to listen to your analysis, if you can't afford to drink one day, wouldn't we be a little lonely? ”
The thin monkey poured another glass of wine into his mouth, and he put the wine glass on the table vigorously: "The prince of the Guogong Mansion is so arrogant, I have some analysis. ”
After hearing this, everyone gathered around the thin monkey wine table, and even filled the thin monkey with the wine they bought.
It's not once or twice that he refuses everyone's proposals, and every time he says that everything is something outside the body, and it doesn't matter if he lives well or badly.
Most people don't agree with him, but they're used to it.
"The reason why the prince of the Guogong Mansion is so arrogant is actually to pave the way for a move in the future. Let me ask you, now that the world's cultivation is completely wasted, can you only rely on the trend of attaching inflammation and climbing to the Pingnan Royal Mansion to breathe? ”
"But this matter is related to the family of the Ministry of Rites, what can it have to do with the Heping Nan Palace?" These words made the people next to them nod their heads.
The thin monkey smiled and said, "Of course it doesn't seem to be relevant on the surface, but do you remember? Just the night before, Lu Shizi's maid was slapped in the face? ”
He paused slightly, and when he saw that everyone had pricked up their ears and no one sent any more greetings, he continued:
"This matter must have reached the ears of the county lord, and there was no movement in the Guogong Mansion that night. Then the county lord will definitely think that the prince of the Guogong Mansion is a villain with a tendency to be inflammatory. Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, the former arrogance is not there, and even the appearance of relying on talent and disguised before. ”
The head of the thin monkey analysis was Dao, and the people next to him nodded one after another. According to this logic, there is really no problem, the reason is that Lu Fan's transformation is too big.
He used to be the first day of pride in the capital, but after losing his cultivation, he gave up everything to pursue the county lord. This will inevitably change people's impression of him.
"Maybe the government has other ideas, but it doesn't matter to outsiders. Everyone is just watching the excitement, who likes to speculate whether the Guogong Mansion has another meaning. ”
The thin monkey smiled and shook his head, saying nothing more. His prediction after his previous analysis will basically come true, and this time his prediction is that the prince of the Guogong Mansion will continue to lick the county lord of Pingnan.
There are only two endings, either the county lord accepts it, or the Guogong Mansion is lonely from then on. But as long as there are no accidents, the prince of the Guogong Mansion can only kneel and lick this road.
"Skinny Monkey, I really admire you, how did you analyze it? Some time ago, I heard that Lu Shizi has frequently gone to the Yellow Crane Tower in recent days, and at first I was puzzled, until today I actually saw the county lord coming out of the Yellow Crane Tower from a distance. ”
"No wonder, I just said why I haven't heard from Shizi for a few days. I thought he was detained by the prefect, and I was going to see how the Guogong Mansion responded. ”
The thin monkey chuckled, and then drank all the wine in the cup: "Hehe, the prefect doesn't dare to detain the prince, even if it is deducted, it is just a process." ”
He put the wine glass on the table and slowly stood up: "It's time to go, everyone." ”
"Are you leaving? Analyze a little more, I still have wine here, all for you! "Some people are trying to keep it, and listening to the thin monkey analyze these things is much more interesting than drinking with a stuffy head.
The thin monkey smiled slightly, waved his hand and didn't speak, but walked towards the outside of the restaurant alone.
The faces of the people who stayed in place were full of unfinished business, and they looked at the back of the thin monkey, and their eyes were puzzled: "What do you say is the origin of the thin monkey?" I always feel that he can analyze so much, and his identity is not ordinary. ”
"Having said that, if his identity was really extraordinary, he wouldn't have lived so miserably."
"Who knows, just have fun. Maybe he used to be a subordinate in the palace or something, and now he has been kicked out? ”
……
After the thin monkey left the restaurant, his body staggered. He never tastes it when he drinks, and basically goes into his stomach when it enters his throat.
No matter how good the wine is, he drinks it this way, it seems to be to buy drunk.
However, the wine in the drunken fairy building is higher than the market price, and if there is a more cost-effective way to buy drunk, he just likes to drink in this restaurant.
Some people speculated that he was loyal to a certain woman in the Qinglou, but no matter how everyone guessed, he just smiled and never responded.
The streets of the capital are full of people, and parents take their children out to go shopping. The light of the lanterns illuminated the streets, and from time to time a few children with sugar gourds ran past the skinny monkeys.
He staggered to the steps by the side of the road, thumping his sore legs. This is already an old problem, and there will be severe pain in the tendons and veins of the legs at this time of year.
He stayed at home these days, and today he really wanted to drink, so he came out.
"Shopkeeper, can you sell fruit here be a little cheaper?" There was a glutinous inquiry from the ten-year-old shop next to it, and the voice sounded soft and crispy, without a pretentious sense of disgust, but very pleasant.
The thin monkey looked up and saw a young girl in a green dress standing next to the fruit shop, her hair coiled into two big balls, and a smile on her cute face.
Su Qiaoer chose to come out at night because she heard that the fruits sold in the night market were very cheap.
Recently, Shizi said that he wanted to drink some juice made from fruits, and he also handed over the purchase rights to her. Originally, Huang Jie should be responsible for these things, but Shizi asked her to buy them in person.
Well...... In addition to ensuring the quality of the fruit, it is necessary to save more expenses for the prince.
Su Qiao'er carefully calculated in her heart.
She didn't notice that a ragged man was staring at her, slowly walking towards her.
It wasn't until she was about to approach that Su Qiao'er suddenly found out.
"Ahh......h
The thin monkey's eyes widened, she stared at Su Qiao'er tightly, and her body trembled slightly.
"Miracle, this is a miracle......" The thin monkey's emaciated cheeks were full of surprise, and his trembling hands and expression on his face made him look a little crazy.
Is this person sick...... Su Qiao'er was vigilant.
Grandpa once said that you must stay away from crazy people when you meet them outside, these people are unreasonable.
"Little, little girl, would you like to...... Would you like to worship me as a teacher? The thin monkey's eyes had never been so hopeful, and he spoke cautiously, for fear of rejection.
Su Qiao'er shook her head decisively, and then took two steps back. She noticed that the fruit she had just bought was still on the basket, so she took a light step, quickly picked it up, and then returned to the same place.
"Old, old sir...... I'm a little maid in the Guogong Mansion, and I can't apprentice. ”
The thin monkey was stunned, he didn't expect Su Qiao'er to be the little maid of the Guogong Mansion. However, he soon laughed: "The prince of the Guogong Mansion has become a waste, and there is no ...... to stay there."
"You old man is really hateful, why do you say bad things about the world!" Su Qiao'er frowned and glared at the thin monkey.
The thin monkey was stunned again, and he suddenly realized that this little maid ...... It should be the person who was slapped by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites that night.
"You, are you the little maid of the Guogong Mansion in the Drunken Immortal Building that night?"
Su Qiao'er tilted her head, with doubts in her eyes: "How do you know?" Ah no, who the hell are you, inexplicably, I still have to go back to the Gongfu, and I don't have time to chat with you. ”
The stupid Su Qiao'er didn't want to think so much, she just wanted to go back to the Gongfu Mansion to squeeze the fruit into juice now.
Seeing that Su Qiao'er wanted to leave, the thin monkey hurriedly spoke: "As long as you are willing to worship me as a teacher, I can help you kill the guest of the Ministry of Rites now, and no one will dare to bully you from now on!" ”
Su Qiao'er stopped, she looked at the sloppy old man in front of her, and shook her head: "No one bullies Qiao'er, and Qiao'er doesn't want to worship others as teachers." ”
The thin monkey was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "Your family has no future, if you stay in the Guogong Mansion, there will be countless troubles in the future." ”
"Are you finished? My family will only get better and better, how can you casually conclude that you are a judge in the future of the world? ”
Oh no, the judge seems to be the judge of life and death, and it shouldn't be used in this kind of place...... Su Qiao'er hurriedly covered her mouth.
Woo, Shizi...... Qiao'er didn't curse you to death.
The thin monkey shook his body and took two steps forward, and said in a soft tone: "Why don't we gamble." I name the three stages that your family will go through, and if they are all said by me, you will worship me as a teacher. ”
Su Qiao'er began to think cutely, she put one hand in front of her chin, raised her head to look at the sky, and lowered her head to carefully scrutinize in her heart.
"It doesn't seem right, you only said what is good for you, but you didn't say what is good for Qiao'er!"
Hehe, Qiao'er has become smarter, if the prince knows, he will definitely praise me.
Su Qiao'er crossed her hands on her hips, and began to fantasize about being praised by Lu Fan.
The thin monkey smiled: "If I don't say it, whatever you ask, I will meet you." ”
"Okay, let's talk about it." Su Qiao'er raised her head and looked at the thin monkey.
She didn't believe that this old man could predict the future, her grandfather had already said that everyone's life is in their own hands, and it is unpredictable and unpredictable.
"Now the prince of the Guogong Mansion is pursuing the county lord of Pingnan, first of all, the first stage is to pursue the county lord of Pingnan, and the county lord of Pingnan will not agree to him."
"What about the second stage?" Su Qiao'er's glutinous voice is very pleasant.
"In the second stage, Lu Shizi will fall into madness when he sees that he will not succeed. He will do everything he can to pursue the future of the government like a mad dog, and this method will probably last for a year to two years. ”
"In the third stage, he will feel tired. He couldn't bear the pressure on the Guogong Mansion from all sides, and the gap in his cultivation made him lose control of his spirit, and in the end he had only two choices. Either you become a madman, or you just leave the capital. ”
Su Qiao'er bit her red lip lightly with her silver teeth, and she glared at the thin monkey: "You are the mad dog, your whole family is a mad dog!" I know that you won't say anything good, and Qiao'er will never talk nonsense to you again! ”
