Li Luo nodded with a smile, but did not agree or refuse.
Song Yayu said no more, and everyone walked down the bridge. As soon as they reached the bridge, an old woman among the crowd shouted loudly to the Southern King Xiande. Song Yayu turned around and looked around. It turned out to be a fruit seller, with two baskets of fresh fruits, red
Green and white, it looks really nice.
Song Yayu smiled slightly and was quite amiable. When the old woman saw this, she shed tears for some reason. She took out two handfuls of fresh fruits from the bamboo basket behind her, raised them high above her head, and offered them to Song Yayu.
At some point, two middle-aged men emerged from the crowd, walking steadily, but they were secret guards of Nanfu, blocking the old woman's way.
Song Yayu glanced at it, then suddenly paused, looked at Li Luo, and said with a smile: "General, do you recognize this thing?"
Li Luo looked at the thing in the old woman's hand and pondered for a moment: "Is it the Water Spirit Fruit?"
"The general has a good eye for fruit. There must be many of them in Zhuocheng. However, this product comes from Nanfu and is transported to Zhuocheng. It must be picked when it is not yet ripe. The color and taste
If you want to take things a step further, General, you might as well try the water spirit fruit from Nanfu."
After saying that, Song Yayu waved his hand, and a person appeared from behind and walked quickly to the old woman.
However, he never took the water spirit fruit in the old woman's hand. Instead, he lifted the bamboo basket behind the old woman. In his busy schedule, he never forgot to put a piece of silver into the old woman's shoulder bag and hurried back to everyone.
Put it down and quietly retreated.
Another one of the guards of the Nanwang Palace came forward, investigated carefully, took some water spirit fruits and tried them one by one. He nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual."
Song Yayu nodded lightly and signaled the visitor to step away. He took a few steps forward, randomly took out a few water spirit fruits and put them into his mouth. He tasted them briefly and said, "General, how about you try the water spirit fruits here?"
?”
Li Luo looked at each other quietly, picking up objects and identifying poisons in an orderly manner. Although it seemed simple and ordinary, the steps were closely linked.
After Song Yayu expressed his thanks with a smile, Tong Pianjin came to the old woman and whispered a few words. The old woman looked grateful and thanked her three times, and slowly withdrew from the crowd, but she did not say anything.
Walking away, I looked at the remaining people in Song Ya from a distance.
Li Luo smiled softly and was about to respond when Zhu Zhi whispered from behind him: "General, I will give it a try first."
After saying that, he raised his voice and said with a smile: "My lord, please forgive me for being rude. I have been in Xifu for a long time and have never seen such fresh fruits. I wonder if your lord can let me taste a few of them to appease my greed."
Song Yayu's expression remained as usual, even the officials of the Nanfu did not show any displeasure, and he was calm and composed.
Song Yayu and Yan smiled and said: "Why are you rude? You generals have worked tirelessly to maintain the country and secure the country. How can the general be so humble about trivial matters? General Zhu please take care of yourself." The demeanor in his words remained the same, but there was no such thing.
Keep Zhu Zhi's doubts in mind.
Zhu Zhi thanked Song Yayu, then stepped forward and took out a few water spirit fruits, put them into his mouth and tasted them carefully, as if he had an aftertaste.
After a while, he responded with a smile: "It is indeed tender and sweet, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Song Yayu laughed loudly and motioned to everyone accompanying him to taste a few. All the Xiazhou officials in the Nanwang Mansion tasted a few of them. It was quite unintentional. Li Luo and General Mu Tianlang also used a few of them, and the flesh of the fruit was comparable to that of others.
The things in Zhuocheng are truly outstanding.
There was still more than half of the water spirit fruit left in the bamboo basket. Song Yayu called a few soldiers and ordered them to disperse with the surrounding people.
But it was just an ordinary move, but the people in Yangnan around him were quite excited, and the crowd was buzzing with excitement. They didn't stop any longer, and quickly walked out and left the Yanguang Bridge.
Half an hour later, the group arrived in front of Prince Nan's Mansion. There were already servants waiting outside the palace gate. When they saw the rest of Song Ya, they all knelt down and saluted.
Song Yayu said in a harmonious voice: "General, my house is humble. General, I am so condescending. I feel very sorry for you. Please."
The generals Mu Tianlang looked at the prominent Nanwang Mansion in Dagan, and they were all stunned on the spot. It was not that the Nanwang Mansion was unusual, but it was too ordinary. If it weren't for the large and clumsy painting of Nanfu Song Dynasty on the lintel. With the word "family", the generals suspected that they were on the wrong track.
The bluestone steps in front of the mansion are only flat, and there is no other decoration outside the gate. At most, it is spacious and much shabbier than an ordinary merchant's home. The wooden pillars are gray and tiled, and there are no cornices. , usually.
After entering the mansion, there were no green leaves or red flowers decorating the front mansion. There was only a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs, and a few incense burners lit up the lingering smoke. It looked more like a martial arts arena.
The main hall is also very simple. The wood and stone are all of their original color without any color. Although it is simple, it makes people feel more respectful.
The two words "gratitude" are written on the plaque. On the left, the kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring.
Li Luo looked at the Thanksgiving Hall in front of him, took a long breath, and praised: "No fear, no action, no asking, what a Thanksgiving Hall."
"Haha, the general is ridiculous. I heard that the general has an abandoned famous building in Zhuo City. If the name can be abandoned, then the world will not abandon it. It is better than this small gratitude hall of my king."
"The prince's words are serious. The words of abandoning one's name must first be famous before one can abandon them. It is not as good as the prince's artistic conception. In comparison, abandoning the famous building is still a sign. Li Luo has learned from it."
Song Yayu smiled slightly, and was secretly shuddered in his heart. The Prince Dagan in front of him spoke sincerely, did not hide anything, was casual but not losing his momentum, and did not have the arrogance of a royal grandson. If a person like this is an enemy, his heart Unpredictable, he is indeed a rare opponent.
"You're welcome, General. Please sit inside." Song Yayu gathered his thoughts and gestured with his hands.
Li Luo thanked him, but still let Song Yayu go first. The group of people filed in. After entering the hall, they chatted for a few words. Song Yayu asked the servants of the house to take Li Luo and others to the guest house to rest for a while until tomorrow. Then he accompanied Li Luo and other generals to visit Yangnancheng.
At night, the sky is getting colder, in the back hall of Nanwang Mansion.
The candlelight was dim, there was a chessboard, two cups of tea, a few wisps of water vapor leisurely drifted out, a jade hand gently dropped a piece, the candlelight swayed lightly, and it was hazy, and the person who made the move could not be seen clearly.
Song Yayu sat across from him, holding a white piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard attentively, but he seemed to be hesitant, not knowing where to place the piece.
After a long time, Song Yayu sighed: "My wife's chess skills are getting better and better, and my husband's white piece is in a dilemma. There is nowhere to play."
The woman replied calmly: "This game is only in the middle of the game. There are many places for moves. My husband will naturally find it difficult to make a decision just by looking at the chess game. However, if you stand outside the chess game, there may not be a way to solve the game."
Song Yayu smiled bitterly and said: "What Madam said is true, but it's a pity that I haven't reached such a realm yet. What I've heard and seen is just this chess game."
The woman sighed slightly and said softly: "The game of chess is like the skill of swordsmanship. Breaking and establishing, breaking and then establishing, losing and then winning, are also strategies to control the enemy." (To be continued.)
