I met Wang Tingzhi by chance on the street, and the conversation took place from a roadside tea stall to Shiweixian again.
In the private room by the window, Wang Tingzhi was holding tea while whispering about the recent developments in Jiangning's cloth market. However, most of the time she was talking to herself, and occasionally she would ask Lu Heng: "I heard that
The Liu family managed to get in touch with the bidding officials through the Su Mansion, did Mr. Lu hear about it?"
Seeing Lu Heng looking at her with a blank look on her face, laughing and shaking her head, Wang Tingzhi whispered softly and said with a smile: "No wonder, Tingzhi just heard about this from her second brother!"
She said these words to relieve herself from pressure. After all, the story of the willow tree was too important for the turbulent palace. If this strategy succeeds, then the palace will be the only one in Jiangning's silk market, and there will be no more
If the opponent fails, his last bit of living space will be deprived of him.
Although the real executor of this matter was Wang Liye, Wang Tingzhi still felt tremendous pressure.
But the initiator of this plan just let it go and wandered outside leisurely all day long.
The afternoon sunlight slanted in from the window, condensing a faint light on the woman's body. The woman sat at the window, holding her chin in her hand, looking at the street outside. She was very peaceful.
The woman was talking to herself about these things while drinking tea. Occasionally she would look around with a solemn expression and tell Lu Heng some seemingly confidential information.
For example, the Royal Palace has actually recently developed a secret recipe for silk soft armor. With this secret recipe, Duo Duo has an additional bargaining chip as a military uniform supplier.
Seeing Wang Tingzhi say these words cautiously, the look in her beautiful eyes seemed to be that she regarded Lu Heng as a confidant. Lu Heng hurriedly pretended to be flattered, and then said something nutritious, but
Very touching empty words.
Seeing Lu Heng's no longer calm look, Wang Tingzhi smiled faintly, and then told Lu Heng with a solemn expression not to tell anyone about this matter.
From the beginning to the end, Manager Fang, the fat man sitting next to him, always looked at Lu Heng with a mysterious look. When the eldest lady told some secrets, Fatty Fang drank tea and
While secretly observing Lu Heng's expression.
Lu Heng could roughly guess what Fatty Fang was thinking without asking.
This man has a careful mind, which is obviously different from his broad body. His small eyes are constantly moving, and his thoughts are moving from time to time. For example, right now, he must be guessing who Lu Heng and the Book of Willows are.
what relationship.
After all, he is the general manager of the palace. He is responsible for managing the household affairs. He knows exactly how capable Li Er is and what his background is.
Although Fatty Fang did not refute what Li Er said about his relatives, he did not believe it in his heart.
There is only one mother in Li Er's family, and there is no one else. Moreover, after the investigation by Manager Fang, it is also known that Li Er's mother's natal family are some honest and good-looking farmers. What can run out there, business experts and the like?
.
After counting, the most likely person Li Er could come into contact with was the scholar in front of him with a cheerful smile on his face.
However, what discouraged him was that the person in front of him, no matter how the eldest lady tried to test him, always smiled and listened to the eldest lady with a curious expression. When he heard the eldest lady say something about the Liu family stealing secrets from other families, Lu Heng
He was also arranging his clothes, as if he was listening attentively. Then he frowned and said, how can this be done? Such a condemnation!
It was really watertight. Manager Fang had determined in his mind that Lu Heng and Zheliuji were closely related, so seeing Lu Heng's expression at this time, he could only sigh at the other's superb acting skills.
I think of the unreasonable and shameless words that the Second Young Master has been honing over the past few days. Compared with the person in front of me, they are simply too straightforward.
It seems that when I get back, I have to tell the second young master that when he talks shamelessly, his expression needs to be more sincere.
After the waiter in the shop made another pot of tea, Wang Tingzhi picked up the steaming fragrant tea and took a sip. She turned her head and looked at Lu Heng and said: "Master Lu, does he know what happens when a person falls when he is climbing a mountain?
Is it the most serious?"
After hearing this question that he seemed to have asked someone else the day before yesterday, and it came out from Wang Tingzhi's mouth again, Lu Heng's expression was obviously stunned, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
However, you still have to pretend.
He put down the teacup, cupped his fists and said to Wang Tingzhi: "I would like to hear the details!"
As a result, the same scene as the previous two days occurred. However, the target was changed to Wang Tingzhi.
After hearing the woman say these words that originally came from her own mouth with a proud look on her face, Lu Heng was immediately in awe.
He cupped his fists and said to the woman: "Miss, I admire you for your cleverness!"
Wang Tingzhi smiled, rolled her beautiful eyes at Lu Heng, and said sweetly: "Young master is making fun of me. I have already said that this is what an expert said, and I am just borrowing it for a use."
The afternoon sun shines on the woman's beautiful flowery cheeks, reflecting an intoxicating light.
Lu Heng admired in his heart, no wonder he could charm Xiao Zhiyuan to the point of falling out of his mind. Wang Tingzhi indeed has such capital.
"What are you looking at, young master?" Wang Tingzhi saw Lu Heng looking at her unscrupulously, then stroking her chin while smiling and nodding, her expression was very wrong. Her face became a little cold, she put down her tea cup and asked lightly.
"Well, the screen behind you is nice!"
Lu Heng pointed to the carved yellow pear wood screen behind Wang Tingzhi with a smile and said with admiration.
Wang Tingzhi: "..."
It was already dusk when we came out of Shiweixian.
The Qinhuai River was dyed with a layer of golden light, and the breeze blew by, causing ripples on the river. On the flower boat docked by the river, women with makeup lazily walked out of the cabin and rubbed their hands.
With blurred eyes, he stretched out casually. The flash of white snow that appeared inadvertently attracted people coming and going to stop and watch.
Under the setting sun, the willow trees by the river are covered with a layer of light gold. The soft willow branches are like a woman's soft hair, moving with the wind. The willow branches hanging down to the river are reflected on the sparkling golden river.
, point out circles of water patterns.
Under the willow tree, people meet after dusk.
The scholar, wearing the setting sun, walked leisurely on the path with the warm wind blowing in his face. Thinking of the scene where Wang Tingzhi was sometimes angry or angry, and sometimes smiling sweetly all afternoon, he smiled lightly.
When Wang Tingzhi talked about silk soft armor and other things, although she said that the young master must keep it a secret and must not spread it to outsiders, she had other plans in her heart.
Because, just a few minutes before she said this, a group of Liu Mansion's servants passed by the door noisily, and then entered the next room.
After half a stick of incense, the room next door was quiet and there was no sound at all.
Hehe, he must be eavesdropping!
Seeing Wang Tingzhi say these words seriously, Lu Heng could only sigh in his heart that this woman is indeed smart.
However, Lu Heng also admired his acting skills a little at this time. After all, anyone who listens to others mysteriously explaining his tricks will still be serious. It would be good if he could hold back his laughter.
I could act like a kindergarten kid listening to the teacher's lectures all afternoon. After listening to Wang Tingzhi explain one or two details of "The Book of Willows", it's really no wonder.
Thinking about these things in my mind, I unknowingly stopped under the willow tree from last time.
However, at this moment, there is a man and woman having a tryst under the willow tree. The woman is shy, lowering her head and smiling. The man is wearing a feather fan and scarf, shaking his head.
From time to time, words such as "I was born with a fairy cave, infinite scenery on the dangerous peaks" were blown over by the warm summer wind. I saw that the woman's shyness made the freckles on her cheeks move more happily. I felt like it in my heart.
Praise, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, the adulterer is adulterous..., oh no, they are in love with each other.
"You're a bastard!" The woman obviously noticed. Lu Heng, who was watching from a short distance away, raised his eyebrows, stared at Lu Heng with his big eyes, and cursed loudly.
The scholar who was secretly holding her hand also glared at Lu Heng, as if he shared the same hatred.
Uh, are you scolding me?
Lu Heng looked at the woman with her big breasts in confusion, letting the student touch her waist, and then looked at the student's sneaky look. He was very confused.
He took another look and confirmed that the woman was indeed scolding him.
Lu Heng chuckled, cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, please continue!"
Then, turned around and left.
A man and a woman were left behind, staring at each other in astonishment.
I felt a little regretful that I didn't meet the woman in white.
Although Zhan Wewei once advised him that that woman was dangerous and should be avoided. However, his rare curiosity still drove him to stop here.
I don’t know if that woman can fly in the sky, pass through walls, ride on clouds...
Ahem, this seems a bit difficult. Uh, it's a little off track!
However, Lu Heng still hoped to see with his own eyes a scene of a woman in a white dress flying like a fairy in the bamboo forest.
Haha, it looks like a very familiar lens.
Before I knew it, it was already sunset.
There was only a golden-red afterglow left on the horizon, and stars were already twinkling in the light blue sky.
The number of pedestrians on the street has decreased a lot, probably because of the recent chaos caused by the Miao people in Hunan and Sichuan, and they are afraid that the spies will flow into Jiangning and cause chaos. Jiangning Prefecture has implemented a curfew policy.
I met soldiers patrolling several times on the road. However, recently because of Prince Ning's Mansion, uh, also because of the planning, the soldiers' attitude has improved a lot.
They said a few words to Lu Heng, saying to go home quickly, and then continued on their way.
Walking into the alley, Lu Heng's small courtyard is in sight.
At the door, a lantern is still lit. The wind blows and the lantern moves with the wind. The dim yellow light is still warm.
