Chapter 292 Like-minded
But this time when he came to Jiangnan, Li Chengdao brought a whole boatload of private goods with him as soon as he arrived here. This has already surprised Lu Zicong. Let the image of Li Chengdao in his heart be completely subverted.

Today, after listening to his high-level talk about carpe diem, I immediately offered the generous gift I had prepared to show my loyalty.

Hearing Li Chengdao's words at this moment, Lu Zicong had the intention of wooing him, so he immediately smiled and said:

"His Royal Highness has a great reputation. The humble job is nothing more than trying his best, being loyal to his past, and sharing his worries for His Highness. I hope His Highness will cultivate him a lot in the future. Zi Cong will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations."

Li Chengdao laughed when he heard the words, patted Lu Zicong on the shoulder, and said pointingly: "This is inevitable, as long as Eunuch Lu and Chengdao are heart-to-heart, then... Chengdao will not treat Eunuch Lu badly!"

With this slap, Lu Zicong suddenly felt light all over, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, this humble job is naturally saved. Your Highness is in full bloom, and I am willing to be His Highness's pawn. From now on, I will share weal and woe with Your Highness!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zicong pointed to the koi in the water and said: "Your Highness has taught you the koi in the water today, and it seems that the koi in the water is different from the past. Everyone says that the fish are stupid, but they don't know that they are the real winners in life." , It’s quite a taste of life! Hahaha, I’m not a fish, so I don’t know the joy of fish!”

When Li Chengdao heard the words, he also smiled and said: "You are not me, but you know my joy!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Fate is such a strange thing, some people stay together for a lifetime, even if there is no barrier between the two, I'm afraid they can't become friends, but some people may become irreversible friends with just one glance, why?Because they have common interests and hobbies, or it can also be called like-minded.

Today, when the like-minded Li Chengdao and Lu Zicong returned to the mansion from Huagang Viewing Fish, they were already a pair of inseparable friends. wild flowers, and even pretty women...

Maybe it's inappropriate to talk about it with an eunuch, but if the eunuch doesn't mind talking to you, why would you be embarrassed?
Li Chengdao's face turned red, and Lu Zicong was also seven points drunk. Looking at their staggering appearance, it seemed that if they were not supported by the servants beside them, they would probably be carried into the West Lake.

When the two came to the corridor of the Lu Mansion, Li Chengdao said with a smile: "It's very enjoyable to be able to confide in Lu Gonggong today. I can't drink enough, so I'm going back to rest. There are still a group of guests to entertain tomorrow, and Lu Gonggong also wants to live well." Rest!"

However, Lu Zicong seemed to be unable to open his eyes, and said with a loud tongue: "Your Highness, you and I have met so late, and we were in the middle of a conversation. Why did we take a break? Go to my place. I also have the best tea there. Let your Highness try it." !”

As he said that, Lu Zicong pulled Li Chengdao and left. Li Chengdao felt strange, the best tea?Is that better than the top grade imperial tip?

The two walked all the way through the front patio, the middle hall, and the back patio.It took a long time to arrive at an exquisite hall. There were flowers and plants, green radish and bamboos everywhere along the way. It was really like a fairyland.

Coming to the inner room, there is a balcony. The first floor of the balcony is a hall surrounded by a small hall, which is elegantly and luxuriously arranged. Made of huanghuali wood.

There is a bed against the wall in the small hall, and it seems that Lu Zicong often rests here, with brocade satin quilts, a jade screen in front, an Eight Immortals table and a group table in the back.

Lu Zicong and Li Chengdao sat down at the group table, Lu Zicong called the two pretty maids to come up, gave instructions in a low voice, and the two girls hurried to make a pot of tea.

Li Chengdao looked overwhelmed with alcohol. Originally, Li Chengdao really wanted to subdue this Lu Zicong, but ever since he accidentally learned about those children, Li Chengdao became wary of this Lu Gonggong. Know what tricks you want to play, so be careful everywhere.

At this time, the butler of the Lu Mansion came in, stood in the outer hall and said respectfully: "Master, the first batch of tax money to be handed over to the national treasury is about to set sail. The escort will ask the master to check the seal. Look...'

Lu Zicong's inner hall seemed to have its own rules, without any reason or announcement. These servants seemed not allowed to enter. Even the old housekeeper who sent the message was standing at the door, not daring to come in.

Lu Zicong frowned when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "Ah, why did you forget such an important thing? Are you setting off today?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zicong turned to Li Chengdao with a smile and said, "Your Highness, when you come this time, the humble position cannot lose your face. Eunuch Gao and the others have urged you many times for the tax money, and you will pay [-]% of the first batch of the humble position. Now it’s starting to move, this silver boat is slow, set off early, when you arrive in Chang’an, the tax bank will arrive just in time, it can be regarded as another gift from the humble job to you!”

Li Chengdao was overjoyed when he heard the words. No matter what, the tax supervisors in this world are all looking at Jiangnan. If Jiangnan moves, are you afraid that other tax supervisors in the world will not move?

Thinking of this, Li Chengdao hurriedly said: "Okay, Mr. Lu's contribution is indispensable. This king has written down this matter. Let's do it quickly. Since Mr. Lu is on official business, this king will not bother you too much. Let’s wait another day for tea and chat, I’ll go back first too!”

Lu Zicong heard this and said quickly: "Don't be hasty, don't be hasty, you have to drink this tea slowly to appreciate the taste. Haha, I'm going to do some work." As he spoke, Lu Zicong walked out, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered As if something, he shouted towards the upstairs: "Madam, hurry up to the small building, your highness is here, say hello to me, I'll be right back!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao hurriedly said: "Eunuch Lu, no, after you leave, besides me, there will be female relatives among you, which is not appropriate!"

Hearing this, Lu Zicong felt embarrassed and said: "Your Highness, you are serious. To put it bluntly, my wife is just a facade. Lian'er used to be a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River. It is just a matter of honor for me to marry her. It won't be a problem, it won't be a problem!"

"Impossible!" Li Chengdao said, and forcibly walked out. At this time, a delicate voice from upstairs responded: "Master, do you want to go out?"

Then I saw a pair of embroidered shoes moving slightly on the stairs, and the skirt swaying. Madam Lu walked down in a nightgown with her crisp shoulders half exposed.

Li Chengdao couldn't help taking a look, but he was looking into her pair of water-like eyes, and he was a little absent-minded for a while.

"I didn't know that His Highness was here, but I am rude!"

Mrs. Lu gave a well-behaved blessing, and said with her red lips lightly.

Li Chengdao came back to his senses when he heard the words, bowed his hands and saluted: "Mrs. Lu..."

Lu Zicong said in a hurry: "Madam, I'm going to the tax office to inspect the silver and pack the boxes to go to Chang'an. I just made a pot of good tea and wanted to sober up my lord. Please sit with Your Highness for a while so that you can serve Your Highness." Hastily followed the butler and walked out.
