The evening breeze rustled the willow branches, and the soft branches crossed the river, causing ripples in circles. The bright full moon hung high in the night sky, casting thousands of silver rays. The moon was reflected on the sparkling surface of the Qinhuai River.
Above, in the thick darkness of night, heaven and earth quietly merged into one.
There are many people walking by the river. People are holding lanterns with various moon legends in their hands. The lanterns are painted with lifelike moon palaces, including the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e.
Lu Heng and Liu Qingqing walked quietly on the riverside path. Lu Heng said some weird and interesting things with a smile. Next to him, Liu Qingqing lowered her head and listened quietly.
When talking about the development of the plot, Lu Heng would occasionally stop deliberately to see Liu Qingqing's reaction. At this time, Liu Qingqing would always raise her head and look at her smiling uncle, seeing the smile on Lu Heng's face.
As if she was angry, she glared at Lu Heng fiercely. Then she lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "What next?"
After not hearing Lu Heng's answer for a long time, the woman stopped and stood there. She looked at Lu Heng with a childish look in her beautiful eyes.
The silver moonlight shines on the woman's beautiful cheeks, making people easily have a dreamy feeling. Those eyes with Jiangnan's beauty are extremely clear.
However, when she saw Lu Heng still smiling, the woman blushed, then turned her head away, looking like I was very angry.
Afterwards, Lu Heng had no choice but to surrender. He obediently presented the perfect ending to Liu Qingqing.
Along the Qinhuai River, in addition to setting up a stage to entertain the people, the government also asked brothels along the Qinhuai River to set up a stage by the river during this sleepless night to present a wonderful event to the people in Jiangning City.
Moreover, on this Mid-Autumn Festival night, the famous courtesans and celebrities in the Qinhuai River will perform on the stage. By doing this, firstly, you can make your reputation even better. Secondly, you can also have a good relationship with the government to avoid being harassed by the government in the future.
Looking for trouble.
Looking at the huge platform erected by the Qinhuai River, Lu Heng couldn't help but admire. This is true enjoyment with the people. Treating all the people in Jiangning City without distinction. There is no such thing as a title like a delinquent woman.
This move by the government allows people from poor families to enjoy the performances of the Oiran clan. If you were to go on a flower boat on weekdays, you would have to spend a lot of money.
At this time, a high stage was set up by the river, and the people could see clearly while sitting on the small benches they carried.
The moonlight is bright and the night is sultry.
Lu Heng and Liu Qingqing found a place with fewer people and sat down.
Out of the habit of watching movies in his previous life, Lu Heng deliberately brought some melon seeds, chestnuts and other things with him when he left home. At this time, he sat generously on the stone, nibbling melon seeds, and said with great interest
Look at the beautiful woman singing on the stage.
Liu Qingqing was a little reluctant to let go before. After all, eating in public was too shocking. However, with no choice but Lu Heng's various temptations, in the end, she accidentally got on the pirate ship.
So, the uncle and sister-in-law sat together, eating melon seeds as if no one else was around. Lu Heng was still generous, while Liu Qingqing lowered her head, her pretty face slightly red.
When she eats, she is like a clever squirrel. As long as someone passes by, she will immediately put away the snacks in her hand, put her face back in a panic, and look serious.
Beside him, Lu Heng was extremely thick-skinned. When he saw others pointing fingers at him, he still watched the performance on the stage intently. He looked serious and didn't pay attention to other people's whispers at all.
Liu Qingqing on the side was a little shy. She secretly stretched out her hand to pull Lu Heng's sleeve, reminding him to pay more attention to his image. Unexpectedly, Lu Heng turned his head and handed the melon seeds in his hand as if he had just woken up from a big dream.
He came over and said vaguely: "Oh, I still have some here!"
Liu Qingqing blushed and turned her head hastily, pretending not to recognize him.
At this time, what was performing on the stage was a woman named Su Lan, who was said to be a courtesan who has been in the limelight recently. This woman named Su Lan was wearing a pink dress and heavy makeup, dancing gracefully on the stage.
.
As the woman continued to make various gentle movements, bursts of cheers erupted from below. The cheers were mixed with various sounds.
The talented people praised her, saying she looked like a fairy. The common people praised her, she looked like a slender woman.
After Miss Su Lan finished her performance, another woman came on stage holding a pipa and sang a song with a melodious melody amidst the sounds of silk and bamboo.
However, what makes Lu Heng depressed is.
The name of the song is still the song "Jinse" he copied before. It's just that the tune is a little different.
Just as he was shaking his head and sighing, he heard a rough voice passing through the crowd. Although the voice was not very high, it was full of energy and seemed particularly clear.
"Hey, you kid really knows how to enjoy it! Others are packed like sugar haws, but you are more relaxed here!"
Lu Heng turned his head and saw Wu Ningyuan, dressed in casual clothes, walking towards him with Zhan as a guard. Seeing Lu Heng leisurely watching the show and eating, the old man found it interesting, haha
smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I have nothing to do today. Since you have so many delicious food here, I feel aggrieved and watch it with you here!" Wu Ningyuan said confidently, sitting down without even saying thanks.
Then he grabbed a handful of chestnuts from the bag in Lu Heng's hand and ate them with relish.
Lu Heng looked at this old man in astonishment, so shameless. His cheeks trembled for a few times, but in the end he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Guard Zhan, who was standing aside, secretly smiled with his men when Prince Ning wasn't paying attention. Then he cupped his fists at Lu Heng and said hello with a smile.
Then, he introduced Liu Qingqing, this old man with a good temper.
"This is Miss Qingqing!" Wu Ningyuan turned his head and said with a smile to Liu Qingqing, who was beside Lu Heng and looked a little nervous.
"I've met Prince Ning!" Liu Qingqing stood up hurriedly and bowed to Prince Ning nervously.
Prince Ning shook his head, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Hey, sit down, sit down. Yongzheng and I have been friends for many years. Miss Qingqing doesn't have to be so polite. Just call me Mr. Ning Yuan!"
However, despite hearing what Prince Ning said, Liu Qingqing was still a little nervous.
After all, the man in front of him was the legendary general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was an important member of the imperial family and the famous King of Huainan. Although this old man had a kind face and a smile, the momentum in his movements was indeed a bit frightening.
Seeing Liu Qingqing's nervous look, Lu Heng shook his head and smiled. Then he whispered something in her ear. Then he saw her purse her lips and chuckle twice, raised her head with a smile in her beautiful eyes,
He glared at Lu Heng.
On the side, Prince Ning, who was secretly watching the situation here, had a sly smile on his face.
"Why don't you see Mr. Zhang?" In the past, the two of them were inseparable. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I didn't see Mr. Zhang coming out. Lu Heng felt a little suspicious.
Wu Ningyuan smiled and stroked his beard and said: "Old man, I occasionally felt cold a few days ago. I have been staying at home to recuperate these days!"
Feeling cold?
Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Wu Ningyuan who was serious.
Who are you kidding? It seems that the old man cherishes his body very much. Why did he suddenly feel cold? It was too accidental.
Wu Ningyuan originally wanted to keep everyone in the circle, but when he saw Lu Heng looking at him with smiles in his eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile. This guy is really too shrewd.
Then, he glanced around and found that there was no suspicious person. He lowered his voice and said to Lu Heng: "There is a letter from Tokyo, saying that Wenshan is going to be reactivated. Wenshan, you know, he has a typical stubborn temper.
.If you push it, you won’t move, and if you push it, you will go backwards!”
Lu Hengshen nodded in agreement, and then said as if talking to himself: "It should be that the official given to Mr. Zhang is too young! After all, with his ability, he can be the prime minister without any problem."
The smile on Wu Ningyuan's face suddenly froze. He looked at Lu Heng in amazement, who was watching the performance on the stage. His low voice could not hide the surprise in his heart: "How do you know?"
Is there any need to guess?
Zhang Wenshan is a person with great ambitions in his heart. This can be seen in daily conversations.
Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, and said in a very casual tone: "You guessed it!"
Wu Ningyuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"As you said, Wenshan really thinks so!" Wu Ningyuan lowered his voice and said the above words again before sighing, "Wenshan has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time and has been keeping a low profile for decades. Now is the time to accumulate accumulated wealth, how could this happen?
Abandoning a lush forest because of a small governor?"
Lu Hengshen nodded in agreement, affirming Wu Ningyuan's evaluation.
Although the old saying goes, if you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?
But this sentence is for those who have high ambitions but low abilities. And Zhang Wenshan is a truly talented person. If he has to clean a house in Chengdu, it will be a waste of talent.
"How does Yongzheng think the superiors will view Wenshan's refusal?" The program on the stage was not very exciting. At this time, Wu Ningyuan simply put down the dragon gate formation and talked about Zhang Wenshan's matter with Lu Heng.
Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Wu Ningyuan with a smile. Then when he saw Wu Ningyuan smiling, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Ning Yuangong came here today not only to eat melon seeds, right?"
Wu Ningyuan didn't blush at all when his purpose was revealed. He nodded generously at this time and admitted frankly: "It is true that the family members have their own opinions about Wenshan. However, they are not on point. So, I want to hear it.
What’s your opinion? After all, Wenshan’s move is very risky.”
Seeing Wu Ningyuan's solemn expression, Lu Heng was embarrassed to be joking.
He turned his head and looked at every move on the stage with distant eyes. After thinking about it, he said: "There is no doubt that the higher-ups will give in! However, they will also give in within a certain range."
