Chapter 135: Meeting with Liu Ru alone
Zhang Linwu took a carriage all the way back to Zhang's mansion.
This Zhang Mansion is not his real home, his father Zhang Hong is a transit envoy and belongs to the Beijing official, and the real Zhang Mansion is in the capital.
However, Jinling City is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Hong, and Jinling City is an important hub and prosperous place, and Zhang Hong himself often stays in Jinling City, so he also set up a mansion in Jinling City.
Zhang Linwu got out of the carriage and walked into the mansion, and a housekeeper greeted him, saluted respectfully and said, "Third Young Master, your friend Wu Bei and Wu Gongzi have been waiting in our mansion for a long time. The old slave arranged for him to be in the right side hall. ”
Zhang Linwu bowed his head and walked to the right side hall.
Entering the right side hall, Zhang Linwu exchanged a few words with Wu Bei, and then sat down as the guest of honor.
"Zhang Gongzi, you just came back from Tianxiang Building, right?" Wu Bei asked directly.
Zhang Linwu did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "Yes, I wanted to see Liu Ru is girl, but I didn't succeed." ”
"Hehe, Zhang Gongzi is really fond of Liu Ru is girl." Wu Bei smiled, "There is really a lot of silver thrown on her. “
Zhang Linwu also smiled: "Miss Liu's singing voice and piano sound really make Zhang 'don't know the taste of meat in March'." Could it be that Wu Gongzi doesn't feel for Miss Liu's music? ”
"No, no, Wu also likes Miss Liu very much." Wu Bei said, "However, you are so fond of Miss Liu, do you know Miss Liu's fairy appearance?" ”
"Have you seen Miss Liu herself?" Zhang Linwu frowned and asked.
Wu Bei smiled: "How can Wu Mou He De see Miss Liu's appearance with his own eyes?" However, Wu does know how she is, because I have her portrait. ”
"Really? Take it out and show me! Zhang Linwu exclaimed excitedly and expectantly.
Wu Bei didn't sell Guan Zi either, and directly took out a carefully folded portrait and gave it to Zhang Linwu.
Zhang Linwu took the portrait, unfolded it, his eyes suddenly straightened, and the whole person was attracted by the portrait.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked away from the portrait, and asked Wu Bei, "Is this really Miss Liu?" ”
"You can't be wrong." Wu Bei said, "This portrait flowed out of the Tianxiang Building, and there were only a limited number of them, one hundred taels of silver. Moreover, I heard that although this portrait is well drawn, it can only paint one-ten-thousandth of Miss Liu's beauty and charm. ”
He came to Zhang Linwu to find Zhang Linwu in order to give Zhang Linwu's portrait of Liu Ruyi, so that Zhang Linwu was even more infatuated with Liu Ruyi.
Jealousy drives people crazy, and a man becomes jealous, and his attitude towards his rival is almost the same as that of his father's enemy.
Two years is too long, and he Wu Bei can't wait for Ji Ning to die immediately without a place to be buried, so as to vent the hatred in his heart.
So, with Zhang Linwu's knife that is sharp and hard enough, why doesn't he take advantage of it?
……
……
said that Ji Ning went to Tianxianglou to make an appointment, and only asked He An to drive him in a carriage.
Yu Ling was left by him to study in his study at Sanwei Academy. This little girl has been more interested in reading recently, and has begun to read the Book of Songs.
Ji Ning got out of the carriage, explained to He An, carried a brocade gift box, and then walked to the gate of Tianxiang Building.
As soon as he entered the gate, a delicate figure immediately greeted him quietly and quickly, and said quickly in a suppressed voice: "Master Ji, the slave maid is Liu Ru is girl's personal maid Xiaojuan." Please go with the slave maid to my young lady. ”
Ji Ning looked at the other party and felt that the other party was indeed a little familiar, it was the maid who ran down from the painting boat to deliver the letter the night before. Just looking at the look and listening to the tone, how can there be a feeling of being a thief secretly?
"Master Ji, go with the slave and maid. The slave will explain later. Seeing Ji Ning standing still, Xiao Juan said anxiously.
Finally, she turned her head and glanced quickly at the people around her.
Ji Ning suppressed his doubts, nodded, and walked inside with Xiaojuan.
Along the way, Xiaojuan not only walked fast, but also chose a path that was as few people as possible and covered, and looked nervously around from time to time, for fear that someone would see it.
Tianxianglou, as one of the best green buildings in Jinling City, a city full of luxury, covers a wide area, Ji Ning followed Xiaojuan around for a cup of tea, and finally walked in front of a quiet small courtyard.
There is a two-story exquisite attic in that small courtyard, and there is a plaque on the front of the attic, with three vermilion characters in the book "Liuxiang Building".
Xiaojuan quickly opened the courtyard door and invited Ji Ning in, she also went in and immediately closed the door, and then she patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Could it be that the person in charge of your building didn't let Miss Liu see Ji alone?" Ji Ning asked.
After walking behind Xiaojuan for so long, he probably guessed the clue.
Xiao Juan turned to face Ji Ning and saluted respectfully and said, "Please forgive me Gongzi Ji, my young lady really can't let people know that she is seeing you alone for the time being." made Ji Gongzi aggrieved. ”
Ji Ning is not stupid, although he doesn't understand the specific operation of the ancient Qinglou, but he only needs to turn his mind to understand the joints.
"Miss Liu took the risk to meet Ji, Ji is very honored, how dare she say that she is wronged?" He said to Xiao Juan with some emotion.
Seeing that Ji Ning was so considerate, Xiaojuan had a good impression of Ji Ning, and said, "My young lady is upstairs, so please go upstairs with the slave." ”
Then, Xiaojuan took Ji Ning upstairs.
Ascending to the second floor, Xiaojuan did not directly lead Ji Ning into the hall, but stopped in the corridor, turned to Ji Ning and said, "Master Ji, please wait a moment, let the slave maid inform my young lady." ”
"There is labor." Ji Ning said.
Xiao Juan saluted Ji Ning, then turned around and entered the hall to inform Liu Rus.
Ji Ning turned his head to look at the layout of the corridor, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "I didn't expect this to be the case, it's a bit unexpected." It feels more difficult than a private meeting with Miss Daughter. ”
After a while, Xiaojuan walked out of the hall and saluted Jining and said, "Master Ji, my young lady is invited." ”
Ji Ning bowed his head, walked over, and entered the hall.
Entering the hall, Ji Ning immediately saw a graceful figure standing in front of him.
"Ji Gongzi." Liu Ru squatted down to Ji Ning and said hello.
Ji Ning didn't care to look at Liu Rus, and bowed his hand in return: "I've seen Miss Liu." ”
After saluting each other, Ji Ning finally had a chance to look at Liu Rus.
I saw that Liu Ru is pretty face was still covered with a white light veil, but from her white and full forehead, a pair of willow eyebrows curved like a crescent moon and a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water, it can be seen that she must be a peerless beauty who has captivated the country and the city.
In addition, Liu Ru is tall and slender, with shaved shoulders, waist like a plain, chest | breast, high, towering, full, wearing a moon-white and elegant mopping long skirt, and even more temperament is like a fairy, not eating fireworks in the world.
"Ji Gongzi is willing to come here to meet the concubine, he does not dislike the humble status of the concubine, he is willing to make friends with the concubine, and the concubine is grateful." Liu Ru said to Ji Ning in a soft and pleasant voice, and then saluted Ji Ning.
Ji Ning bowed his hand and said in return: "Miss Liu is polite. Being able to make friends with you is the blessing that Ji has cultivated in three lives. ”
"Ji Gongzi came from afar, presumably his breath is a little unstable, how about waiting for the concubine to play a song for you to soothe your breath?" Liu Ru said in a voice.
Ji Ning couldn't help but smile expectantly: "Okay, it's only been two days since I listened to Miss Liu's fairy voice, and Ji seems to have been separated by three autumns." Thank you. ”
"Ji Gongzi, please take a seat." Liu Ru said with a hint of a smile, and elegantly made a gesture of invitation to the table in front of her that was ready for fine wine, fragrant tea, and exquisite snacks.
Ji Ning nodded, walked over, knelt on the wisteria cushion, looked at Liu Rushi, and waited for Liu Rushi to play the piano.
(On the shelves on August 1, "The Love of the Wang" plans to rush to the monthly ticket list of the new book, which is a very rare opportunity.) If you can make it into the top 10, this book will be able to successfully counterattack. Please vote for next month's monthly ticket for "The Romance of the Wang". Another thing about update speed: I understand the benefits of faster updates better than anyone else, and I want to update faster than anyone else, because it means income. But writing historical essays is really a water mill, and if you write quickly and roughly, you lose your taste, which is no different from urban Xiaobaiwen. In fact, I spend more time writing every day than anyone else. Thank you for your understanding. )
