Chapter 80 Fighting against Yanqing in Puzhao Temple (3)
Wang Lin, riding on horseback and holding a gun, disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Mrs. Cai stood at the mountain gate and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "Sotika, what do you think of Wang Lin's martial arts?"
Suo Chao paused for a moment, then carefully considered his words and said softly: "Yan Qing's fists and kicks have been mastered by Lu Yuanwai. This Wang Lin can easily defeat him. His martial arts should be among the best in the world."
Mrs. Cai smiled: "How does it compare to you?"
"Suo Chao has never competed with him, so I dare not make false claims. However, Suo Chao is confident that he will not lose to him."
Mrs. Cai said "oh" and said again: "Sotika, you said he has a good relationship with Yang Zhi. Is he coming to my Daming Mansion this time to go to Yang Zhi?"
Suo Chao nodded: "That should be the case."
"My father once said in a letter home that this Wang Lin is a member of the official family's training team for the prince. He will have a bright future in the future, but he may become a nuisance to my Cai family..."
The smile on Mrs. Cai's face faded and she said: "I think he is a handsome person. I really don't want him to be like my Cai family..."
Suo Chao fell silent.
Cai Jingquan wielded power in both the government and the public, and controlled the affairs of state. His reputation as a traitor and a sycophant was well known to everyone in the world.
He knew very well that Mrs. Cai was gentle on the surface, but in reality she was vicious and jealous.
It is unknown how many of Liang Zhongshu's beautiful concubines were killed by her, and it is said that they were all buried in the back garden of Liang Mansion.
However, many people are easily confused by her dignified appearance and gentle style when they first meet her.
The same was true for Suo Chao at the beginning.
Mrs. Cai thought about it and said, "I'll go back home later and ask Yang Zhi to come see me."
"Here."
After Mrs. Cai finished speaking, she took her two maids to the Mahavira Hall and concentrated on worshiping the Buddha and chanting sutras.
Suo Chao shook his head and followed. He was not sure what Mrs. Cai was going to do, and he didn't bother to think about it.
…
Not to mention Wang Lin leaving Puzhao Temple.
Shan said that Yan Qing took Li An back to Lu's house and went straight to Lu Junyi's study.
Although Lu Junyi was a merchant, he was not interested in business operations. Basically, the properties in Fuzhong were left to his wife Jia and the housekeeper Li Gu to take care of them.
He is a real hands-off shopkeeper. Today I went to Fenghuangling to relax, and as soon as I came back I heard that Wang Lin from Shandong was visiting.
Lu Junyi had heard about Wang Lin a little bit, and he was regretting that he had not met this young handsome man. Yan Qinglai reported all kinds of things to Wang Lin at Puzhao Temple, and Lu Junyi couldn't help but became furious.
"My son, do you really mean what you say?"
"How dare a child deceive an adult? That's exactly what happened. After the child came back from Puzhao Temple, he found out that Li An usually brought trouble to the countryside under the banner of the Lu family. This time, he took a fancy to a woman from the former village and used it to collect rent.
For the sake of fame, he tried to kidnap people and bring them back to wreak havoc. Unexpectedly, he encountered an envoy from the king's army on the way, so some troubles arose..."
"Bastard! These dogs!"
"How dare you ruin someone's reputation like this!"
Lu Junyi was furious and beat Li An with a whip until his skin and flesh were bruised.
Lu Junyi was a very clean-blooded hero of the day, and his reputation was more important than his life. He never thought that the image of a good person he had worked so hard to cultivate throughout his life would be completely destroyed by a few domestic slaves.
Li An didn't dare to tell lies anymore.
He even confessed one by one his bad deeds of relying on the power of the Lu family, preying on local villagers, and extorting money in private in recent years. Lu Junyi was so angry that his hair and hair grew red.
The whip was even more severe.
Of course, even though he was furious, Lu Junyi, who was kind by nature, still showed some restraint. Otherwise, with his martial arts skills, Li An would have been beaten to death long ago with just a few whips.
Li An was crying like a ghost, and not long after, a beautiful woman in her early twenties appeared in the backyard, wearing a light blue water skirt and heavy makeup, and she hurried over. She was Lu Junyi's wife, Jia Shi.
Falling far behind Jia was a man in his early thirties.
It was Li Gu, the chief steward of the Lu family.
"Official, please show mercy." Jia called out urgently.
Lu Junyi took a breath, turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Jia, then stopped.
…
Wang Lin returned to the city and returned to the inn. Li Shishi and Zhang Zhenniang were playing chess in the room.
Li Shishi has been familiar with all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zhenniang's chess skills were as good as hers.
The two women were engrossed in the fight. Wang Lin watched the battle for a while and saw Zhang Zhenniang decisively making moves and easily breaking the siege that Master Li had created for a long time. He couldn't help but praise: "Zhenniang, what a wonderful move!"
Only then did Zhang Zhenniang notice Wang Lin's arrival, her face turned red, she quickly stood up and saluted, "I have seen you, Sir!"
Zhang Zhenniang is like this, always maintaining due etiquette and etiquette, which makes Wang Lin somewhat helpless.
Master Li covered his mouth and smiled softly.
If Zhang Zhenniang hadn't been here, she would have thrown herself into Wang Lin's arms and made love to each other.
Wang Lin had no choice but to turn sideways and return the gift to Zhang Zhenniang, then smiled and handed over a pack of beggar's chicken wrapped in oil paper: "I bought some food at Puzhao Temple outside the city. It is said to be the famous local beggar's chicken. You can try it.
Bar."
Jin'er opened the door and came in, and also brought some wine, vegetables, fruits and vegetables ordered from the inn.
Wang Lin only glanced at it. Although he didn't have much appetite, he was still in a hurry.
The food in these days is really vulgar, and the taste is even more unflattering.
As a modern time traveler who has tasted delicious food all over the world, Wang Lin is like chewing wax in many cases, eating and drinking indiscriminately, just to increase his blood and health.
The sight of Wang Lin devouring his food is really indecent.
Zhang Zhenniang looked at her with her eyebrows slightly raised, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.
Just lower your head carefully and eat some food, chew it slowly and taste it briefly.
Zhang Zhenniang swallowed the last bite of food and suddenly saw Wang Lin and Li Shishi standing side by side, staring at her with smiles. She couldn't help but blush, thinking that she was eating indecently, so she hurriedly stood up, turned around and straightened her clothes.
Wang Lin secretly smiled in his heart. Sooner or later, he vowed that he would seriously train such a serious Zhang Zhenniang.
Otherwise, if she treats each other like guests all day long, I don't know how much fun in the boudoir will be lost.
When Li Shishi saw Wang Lin staring at Zhang Zhenniang, she would have misunderstood. She chuckled, quietly exited the room, and gently closed the door for the two of them.
outside the door.
Just as Jin'er was about to open the door and go in, Master Li stopped her, covering her mouth with a smile and shaking her head to signal. Jin'er blushed and tiptoed back.
…
Liang Mansion.
Back garden.
The sun was shining brightly, and a fair and pretty woman stood quietly under an osmanthus tree, looking up at the new buds on the tree, thoughtfully.
Another maid hurried over and shouted: "Sister Ping, my wife has returned home from Puzhao Temple outside the city!"
