During dinner in the evening, Liu Qingqing's expression was a little strange.
At the beginning, she lowered her head and ate the rice grains in the bowl without saying a word. However, just when Lu Heng was about to say something.
Liu Qingqing slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks, raised her head and looked at Lu Heng strangely.
The look in his eyes was like there was some contraband hidden on Lu Heng's body. It made Lu Heng a little restless.
"Uncle went to meet that girl today?"
Liu Qingqing looked at him strangely and suddenly asked.
"Ah?!" After hearing this, Lu Heng shook his head and said, "No!"
Liu Qingqing curled her lips, glanced at Lu Heng, and then continued to eat with her head down.
Uh, this kind of atmosphere is really unbearable.
Lu Heng put down his bowl and chopsticks with a wry smile on his face, and was about to talk about what he saw and heard today.
But the woman lowered her head and said to herself: "Oh, uncle's body smells so good!"
It turned out that this was the case. Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, and then told what happened today. After that, Lu Heng held the bowl and said with a smile: "She is the eldest lady of the Wang family. After all, she is still my boss. Well, that is,
No matter what I mean!"
Since he couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, Lu Heng had no choice but to be vague and make up a sentence at random.
The woman put down the bowl and chopsticks, glanced at Lu Heng lightly, and sighed: "It's time for uncle to start a family!"
It is said that Lu Heng is already nineteen years old this year. In this era, it is already the age when he should start a family. However, because there was a marriage contract before, he has been waiting for the young lady from the Su family to marry him. Now, the marriage contract has also been cancelled.
He is no longer young. Liu Qingqing naturally took this into consideration.
In addition, today, Lu Heng's body smelled faintly of powder. The woman naturally thought that Lu Heng had gone to look for flowers and willows.
After saying this, the woman stopped talking. There was nothing visible on her face, but Lu Heng had a faint feeling that she seemed unhappy.
For a moment, Lu Heng felt a headache. After all, the previous owner had a criminal record. At this time, Liu Qingqing calculated based on this, it was not an exaggeration.
In desperation, Lu Heng began to think about changing the topic. However, it was difficult to change the topic.
Talking about the Book of Willows? Isn't this just making me feel uncomfortable? Saying that the eldest lady of the Wang family has taken a liking to me, ahem, it's obviously a joke! And it's still nonsense. Why did you wear a red bellyband today, sister-in-law? It's so bright.
Well, probably by the time she said this, the woman would have put the bowl on her head!
After thinking about it, Lu Heng scratched his head and couldn't think of any good ideas.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Yan Liu Qingqing glanced at him secretly and saw that the other person was scratching his head and scratching his head, unable to do anything.
She pursed her lips secretly, but finally couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
"I'm just kidding you!" Liu Qingqing smiled brightly, as brightly as a hundred flowers blooming.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. He spread his hands and said, "I really met the eldest lady of the Wang family!"
After repeating this again, I finally made it clear.
Seeing the woman's beautiful eyes looking at him, occasionally nodding. Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his whole body felt relaxed.
Then, he saw a look of understanding on the woman's pretty face, and then looked at him seriously and asked: "Uncle, do you have a woman you like?"
Lu Heng: "..."
The night was quiet, and after dinner, the woman left the room with a snicker.
Behind him, Lu Heng sat in front of the window, his face downcast, and he shook his head helplessly. As a planner, he was fooled so easily!
Alas, things really turn around!
But when it comes to marriage, Liu Qingqing may be really worried about Lu Heng. Although she hasn't said it explicitly these days, she has been thinking about it in her heart.
However, she also knew that with her uncle's temper at this time, he probably wouldn't take this matter to heart. At least, not now.
After testing it twice in a row, Liu Qingqing had no choice but to give up after seeing the helpless look on the other party's face. In addition to a trace of regret, there was also a trace of expectation in her heart.
With my uncle's talent and knowledge, it is possible for him to become the prime minister in the future. It may be too early to talk about marriage now.
However, uncle's expression is really..., hee hee!
Hey, I wonder which girl from that family is so lucky to marry her uncle as his wife!
The starry sky outside the window was twinkling and everything was quiet. Occasionally there were cicadas chirping and frogs croaking. It was like a beautiful scene in summer. In the room, the lights had been turned off.
Lu Heng was lying on the bed, thinking of his embarrassment just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Just when he was about to turn over and go to sleep, he heard a sudden loud shout from outside: "The water is leaking!"
So, from a few few shouts, it finally turned into a noisy street.
"The palace is in trouble!"
Lu Heng heard it clearly now. He sat up and looked through the window at the palace in the east. The fire there lit up the night sky, making it look like a big fire.
From the looks of it, at least three or four houses would have to be burned down!
Uh, it seems that the account book I finished has not been handed in yet!
Lu Heng suddenly remembered the account books placed on the table, and felt a little bad, so he was going to go to the palace to see if there was any chance of saving the account books.
However, just when he put on his shoes, put on his clothes, and was about to go out, he remembered that when he was talking to Wang Tingzhi today, the girl occasionally showed a smile during the conversation.
Ha, so that’s it!
His calm eyes flickered slightly. After a long time, he touched his chin and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Well, good acting skills and courage!"
After praising her seemingly mindlessly, she lay down and continued to sleep with a faint smile on her face.
The next day, the news about the leakage of the palace immediately spread throughout Jiangning City.
People were talking about the fire in the palace last night. Some people were full of regret and worry, but most people were thinking about how much money was burned in the fire. If they could give themselves the money,
How nice.
The police officers from Jiangning Mansion were also dispatched. They walked through the streets and alleys to search for clues about someone deliberately setting the fire. Although most people said that it was caused by a fire, the police officers still wanted to report to the Wang Mansion.
Face-saving.
After all, Mr. Wang's remaining power is still there, and the palace's influence on Jiangning's generation is still very great.
Lu Heng listened to the various speculations made by passers-by and walked leisurely towards the palace as usual.
When they arrived at the palace, they saw the servants sitting at the door with worried faces, wiping the ashes from their faces. Some people had tears in their eyes, feeling sorry for the losses caused by the fire in the palace last night.
After entering the palace, I didn't take two steps when I heard a roar filled with incomparable resentment and anger: "This is unreasonable, it is simply shameless. It is extremely shameless!"
Uh! My acting skills have improved!
Lu Heng stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Wang Liye standing outside the archway of the east courtyard, with a dark face, shouting angrily at a stranger: "You are naked theft, shameless!"
But that man had an indifferent expression on his face. It was as if Wang Liye's words were a breath of fresh air in his ears and he didn't hear them at all.
"Haha, Second Young Master Wang still wrongly blamed the Liu Mansion. Our Liu Mansion feels very sympathetic to the fire in your mansion. After all, it will be difficult for any family to suffer such a disaster. The second Young Master said this, I'm sorry
I can understand it! Haha, but..."
The man paused for a moment, and his face suddenly became serious. He looked straight at the furious Wang Liye, snorted, and said with his hands behind his back: "However, it is not for a gentleman to slander Liu Mansion like this.
Because. As we all know, this fire was caused by someone in your house accidentally starting a fire, and it has nothing to do with my Liu Mansion. If you are so unscrupulous in slandering my Liu Mansion, huh, then we can only do it in the lobby of the government office.
See you. Farewell!"
This person casually clasped his fist at Wang Liye and walked away. When he was about to go out, this person stopped, turned his back to Wang Liye, and sneered: "Second Young Master Wang, haha, our Liu Mansion can become one of the top three in Jiangning."
One of the cloth merchants, it’s not like anyone can knead it as much as they want! If you want to frame me, Liu Mansion, huh, you should do your part first! Huh!"
After saying these words, the man left with his entourage.
Wang Liye was left alone, standing there shaking with anger!
Lu Heng stood at the archway of the west courtyard, leaning against the wall, watching this scene with great interest. He touched his chin, nodded and smiled.
However, when he saw Wang Liye's expression, he felt a little worried. With such a realistic performance, would he be too deep into the drama and unable to extricate himself?
However, later, Wang Liye's expression made him feel that such worries were unnecessary.
However, after Wang Liye had been watching the people from the Liu Mansion disappear, although his face was still dark and his whole body was shaking, Lu Heng could clearly see his small movements.
The moment Wang Liye turned around and walked towards the East Crossing Courtyard, he stretched out the fist hidden in his sleeve, made a gesture in front of his chest, and clenched his fist powerfully.
A very good start!
Lu Heng smiled faintly, shrugged his shoulders, then turned and walked into the West Cross Courtyard.
In the next two days, after multiple verifications, Jiangning Mansion announced the results of the investigation.
The results revealed that the fire was indeed caused by an accidental fire by a servant of the palace.
As soon as this result came out, the Liu Mansion was naturally elated. The Wang Mansion was a scene of boiling anger.
According to the servants in the palace, the second young master was so angry that he fainted on the spot when he heard the result. He still hasn't woken up. Now, the palace has become a mess.
At this time, Lu Heng was sitting leisurely in a small pavilion in Jiangbei by the Qinhuai River, chatting and laughing with the two old men.
"Yongzheng, you know, how did your Majesty react after seeing that policy?" Zhang Wenshan glanced at Prince Ning with a smile, turned around, and said to Lu Heng with a smile.
Lu Heng smiled faintly, picked up the tea cup and glanced at the old man. Then he said seriously: "He must have said that this man is a great talent and has the ability to govern the country. I will pass on this man and create my great empire for ten thousand years?"
"
Zhang Wenshan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he burst out laughing. While laughing, he scolded Lu Heng and said, "You kid, how dare you say such rebellious words? If this court didn't punish crimes with words, how could you just say this?"
With these words, the boy has probably been thrown into prison a long time ago!"
The social atmosphere of the Great Zhou Dynasty was more open than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which Lu Heng knew later, and the court did not prohibit people from talking about state affairs. It was precisely because the court created such a situation and encouraged the common people to speak out that several generations of common people had famous names.
The appearance of phase.
After Zhang Wenshan laughed, he calmed down. He put down the teacup, pointed at Prince Ning who was always acting solemn next to him, and said with a smile: "Yongzheng's nostalgic song Jiangbei Pavilion a few days ago, coupled with this time
This strategy reminds me of the God of War who once dominated the world, Your Majesty!"
Lu Heng knew that he was talking about Wu Ningyuan, but when he saw that the old man was always so arrogant, he felt a little unhappy. At this time, he deliberately pretended to be confused and asked: "Oh? I am still a big Zhou?"
Is there such a person? Who is it? Why have I never heard of it?”
"Of course it's me! You are so ignorant and ill-informed!" Prince Ning finally couldn't hold it in any longer and glared at Lu Heng and yelled.
