Chapter 216: Heavy Gifts
Smack!
A smashing sound sounded in the courtyard wall, and Tao Yan'er, who was sitting on the desk in the house and writing out lines of beautiful handwriting, raised her head and looked at Lu Shengzhong, who was sitting cross-legged and closing her eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that he didn't react, Tao Yan'er put down her pen, got up and left the case, came to the courtyard, and walked to pick up a paper ball.
This isn't the first time she's picked up similar paper balls.
She didn't open the paper ball, went back to the house, walked to Lu Shengzhong's side, handed the paper ball out, and said softly: "Brother." ”
Lu Shengzhong opened his eyes, took the paper ball in his hand, spread it out, and put the stones in the paper ball aside.
Knowing that whenever this was not the time for her to watch, Tao Yan'er turned around and walked away, avoiding the courtyard.
Going back and forth in the courtyard, she didn't know what Lu Shengzhong was doing, nor did she know what Lu Shengzhong was going to do, but for a smart woman who could know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, from Lu Shengzhong's treacherous behavior, she had already realized the turbulence of the dark waves under the calm.
Pacing back and forth for a while, with her hands on her abdomen, she raised her picturesque face and looked at the clear sky, with birds soaring in the blue sky, which was so cheerful and free, and it was desirable.
Lu Shengzhong wandered in the room, looked at the secret letter in his hand, walked to the side of the case and sat down, his eyes moved, and fell on the Juanxiu handwriting on the paper on the case.
The handwriting is very good-looking, which makes Lu Shengzhong quite emotional, the average lady is afraid that she doesn't have this foundation, and those Qinglou have worked these high-class people in order to make money.
The paper with Juanxiu's handwriting was opened by him and he took up the pen to translate the contents of the secret letter.
After reading and silently memorizing the instructions in the secret letter, he lit a fire, burned the secret letter and the translated content in the pen wash, and shouted, "Yan'er." ”
Tao Yan'er, who was outside the house, entered and stood by the desk and watched him.
Lu Shengzhong was silent for a while and asked, "Will Wu Tiannan come today?"
Tao Yan'er: "I should be here, I said that I will learn chess skills today." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was already a knock on the door in the courtyard outside, and Wu Tiannan's voice said, "Brother Tao!"
The two 'brother and sister' looked at each other, and they really said that they had arrived.
Lu Shengzhong raised his chin slightly towards the ashes in the pen wash, then got up and walked out of the door and echoed, "It's coming." ”
Tao Yan'er quickly moved the pen to wash and clean.
The courtyard door opened, and Wu Tiannan, who had a smiling face, carried a food box in his hand, and said happily: "Brother Tao." ”
After saying hello to Lu Shengzhong, they entered the door, and they were obviously already familiar with each other.
Lu Shengzhong closed the door and turned around and asked, "What are you carrying?"
Wu Tiannan lifted the food box: "The wine and delicacies of Babaozhai are almost ready for dinner, so you don't have to do it with Yan'er's sister." ”
Lu Shengzhong: "You don't have to be so polite. ”
Wu Tiannan: "It's Brother Tao who is too polite, from the folks in his hometown." ”
Lu Shengzhong smiled, shook his head, and didn't say anything more.
The two entered the house, and saw Tao Yan'er sitting upright and writing, so soft and gentle, Wu Tiannan was stupid when he saw it, and when Tao Yan'er looked up, Fang Hehe said: "Sister is working hard?"
Tao Yan'er put down her pen and got up to salute, "Brother Wu." ”
Wu Tiannan put down the food box, approached and looked at the handwriting on the case, stroked his palm and praised: "Sister Yan'er is so literate!"
Tao Yan'er said shyly: "Brother Wu praised it falsely, the vassal is elegant, and it can't be compared to Brother Wu's family learning." ”
"It's not flattery, it's really a good style, look at this word!" Wu Tiannan pointed to the handwriting on the paper and shook his head again and again, "I'm sighing to myself!"
Lu Shengzhong sighed: "Don't tout it. Yan'er, Tiannan brought some food and put it on the table. ”
Tao Yan'er owed a little to Wu Tiannan, turned around and went busily.
In a few moments, the dishes were already on the table.
At the table, after the three of them raised their glasses and saluted slightly, Lu Shengzhong suddenly asked, "Brother Wu, how can I see that you are often in the capital city of Beizhou, don't you have to go back to Pingchuan?"
Wu Tiannan was slightly stunned, slowly put down the wine glass, shook his head and sighed, "I won't say anything in front of Brother Tao and Sister Yan'er, you probably know the situation in Beizhou, the situation is a bit special, after the Yan Kingdom cracked the ground, the Yan Country couldn't control it, and the Korean side didn't dare to force it too much, so the people who could really call the shots on this ground were in this Beizhou Capital City." I have been active in this city for a long time, and I also want to find a suitable errand to do. ”
Lu Shengzhong sighed, "Father Ling is a county prince, can't Pingchuan County arrange a good errand for you?"
Wu Tiannan: "Pingchuan County is a barren land, how good can it be no matter how good an errand can be? ”
With a look of lofty ambition, he glanced at the reaction of the reserved Tao Yan'er.
Lu Shengzhong nodded slightly: "I see! Beizhou is the master of the house, everyone knows that it is the Shao family, and your father is a county magistrate, why not let your father ask to see Shao Dengyun." ”
Wu Tiannan suddenly smiled bitterly: "The county is a big official in Pingchuan County, but it is nothing in this Beizhou capital city, and my father can see it if he wants to." ”
Speaking of this, he seemed to be afraid that the other brother and sister would look down on him, so he raised his head and said: "But I have found a way, and I have established a relationship with the son of the state pastor, and there will be results in time." ”
Lu Shengzhong was about to lead the words to this, but he didn't want Wu Tiannan to say it himself, but he saved him the effort of beating around the bush, and asked lightly: "I heard that Shao Dengyun has three sons, I don't know which son's path Brother Wu has taken?"
Wu Tiannan: "The second son and the third son." ”
Lu Shengzhong, "How did I hear that the eldest prince Shao Pingbo is the real power figure in Beizhou?"
Wu Tiannan was slightly embarrassed, he wanted to cling to Shao Pingbo, but he had to cling to it, people didn't take him seriously at all, and defended: "The eldest prince is too busy, and he can't get together for the time being, so when there is a suitable opportunity, he naturally wants to please." ”
"It's not proper!" Lu Shengzhong shook his head slightly.
Wu Tiannan was surprised: "What do you mean by Brother Tao?"
Lu Shengzhong said: "Shao Pingbo may be about to face a catastrophe, I advise Brother Wu not to get into trouble, it is better to stay away from him." ”
Wu Tiannan became more and more surprised: "Why did Brother Tao say this?"
Lu Shengzhong seemed to be a little hesitant, looking like he didn't know whether to say it or not, and finally said: "It stands to reason that there are some things I shouldn't say, but I have a relationship with Brother Wu and I am a fellow villager, I might as well tell Brother Wu a thing or two, but this matter is out of my mouth, into your ears, and it will be over when it has passed, you must not say that I said it, I don't want to cause any trouble, otherwise my brother and sister will only stay away and will not see Brother Wu again." ”
"Does Brother Tao think I'm a talkative person?" Wu Tiannan glanced at Tao Yan'er, patted his chest and promised: "Brother Tao said that it doesn't matter, and Brother Tao will never be implicated." ”
Tao Yan'er glanced at Lu Shengzhong lightly, not knowing what he was going to do.
After a little hesitation, Lu Shengzhong said slowly: "Although I don't know much about the affairs of Beizhou, I know a little about the affairs of the cultivation world, I have sung the nursery rhyme of the king of Beizhou before, I don't know if Brother Wu has ever heard of it?"
Wu Tiannan nodded repeatedly: "Naturally, I have heard that this matter is obviously aimed at the eldest prince, but everyone only dares to discuss it in secret, and does not dare to discuss it openly, could it be related to this matter?"
Lu Shengzhong bowed his head and asked again, "Brother Wu, have you ever heard of Tang Yi, the head of the Shangqing Sect?"
Wu Tiannan smiled, and then seemed to feel that it was too obscene in front of Tao Yan'er, smiled and nodded: "I've heard of it, I heard that the eldest prince likes this head to show his love repeatedly." ”
Lu Shengzhong: "The problem is here, this Tang Yi is a married woman, her husband's name is Niu Youdao, and he is also a cultivator, but he is the mage next to the king of Yongping County of Yan Kingdom, and he is also a capable person, is it not a trivial matter ......to take his wife's hatred?
The incident of the Ice and Snow Pavilion that was arranged but almost the truth was narrated, Wu Tiannan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and his heart was relaxed, how could he usually have the opportunity to hear this kind of thing, the Ice and Snow Pavilion was far away for him, and it could almost be regarded as a place where the gods gathered.
Tao Yan'er was silent, but her mood was complicated, and she had a feeling of being poor.
She couldn't figure out what Lu Shengzhong was going to do, and she realized that Lu Shengzhong finally showed his hideous face today......
Leaving here, Wu Tiannan, who was strolling on the streets, suffered from gains and losses, he knew that a huge opportunity was in front of him, but he was a little scared to participate in this kind of thing.
After hesitating again and again, Wu Tiannan clenched his fists, seemed to have made up his mind, and strode away......
Outside the Beizhou Thorn Mansion, Wu Tiannan waited for a long time, and a person came out of the door to greet him, and the doorman let him in.
In the corner of the street, Lu Shengzhong, who was secretly watching all the way, saw it with his own eyes, the corners of his mouth curled, and he was ready to let Tao Yan'er marry to persuade him as a temptation condition, it seemed that it was useless, Wu Tiannan, this guy was more 'interesting' than he imagined.
Lu Shengzhong quickly turned around and left, came to a restaurant on a street, entered and asked for a jar of wine, a piece of paper folded into small pieces, and stuffed it into the hands of a guy while people were unprepared, and then strode away with the wine.
When he returned to his home, he brought back a carriage.
jumped out of the carriage, pushed the door in, went straight to the bedroom, walked to Tao Yan'er who was lying quietly on the couch, pointed out, unlocked the prohibition on her, and said indifferently to Tao Yan'er who got up: "Let's go!"
After a while, the two brothers and sisters went out, Tao Yan'er got into the carriage, and Lu Shengzhong drove away, all the way out of the city......
In the Assassin's Mansion, Wu Tiannan waited in a hall for a long time before he saw Shao Wubo and Shao Fubo's brothers coming.
The two brothers looked at Wu Tiannan with some disgust, feeling that this guy was a little unacquainted, knowing each other is knowing, is the Thorn Mansion a place where you can come casually?
If it weren't for the fact that there was a heavy gift, the two brothers would not have let him enter the mansion at all.
"The second son, the third son. Wu Tiannan nodded there.
The two brothers sat down in the hall, Shao Wubo was silent, Shao Fubo raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you say that the heavy ceremony?
Wu Tiannan looked at the people at the door, and hesitated: "The heavy ceremony is not trivial, are the two sons..."
Shao Fubo immediately waved his hand impatiently, asked his subordinates to step back, and asked, "Can you take it out now?"
