Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

It was none other than Di Qing who appeared in the teahouse with Lu Ci.

Because he remembered that today was Di Qing's birthday, Lu Ci specially left Xiu Mu on this day, and immediately took him out of the barracks, and the two of them went shopping in the market together, had a good meal, and had a simple celebration.

What Di Qing looks forward to the most is not a gluttonous feast, but a night-time session: every birthday, the grandfather would offer to have a night-time chat with him by candlelight.The two were lying on the same bed, next to each other intimately, chatting casually...

Di Qing was furtively fantasizing about the situation at night, when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of chaotic footsteps from the corridor outside the door.

He strained his ears to listen for a while, and then he realized that although the sound of footsteps stopped, it was replaced by the noise of human voices.

Destroyed the tranquility and tranquility of this place, it really spoiled the scenery.

Lu Ci, who was originally drinking, frowned slightly: "Could it be that someone is making trouble outside?"

Di Qing stood up without any hesitation: "Please wait a moment, Grandfather, I'll go and ask."

Lu Ci opened his mouth, but he didn't say that he wanted to go see together. He just smiled and nodded, and continued to drink leisurely.

The little cub I carefully raised not only grows taller, but after being tempered by the barracks, it becomes more powerful, and its aura also grows a lot... Lu Ci is the most gratified.

Since it was Di Qing's wish, I can sit down with peace of mind.

Di Qing didn't know that he was bathed in the gratifying eyes of his grandfather, and he didn't show his face to the culprit who only made noise in front of the box where he and his grandfather rarely got together, spoiling his precious time with him. Obviously, his heart was full of murderous intent.

After pushing open the door and following the sound, Di Qing suddenly saw that the troublemaker was not a dandy or a gangster as he imagined, but a scholar with a dusty face and a slightly haggard face, but a handsome face and an upright personality .

Di Qing stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

At first, the uninvited guest who was determined to rush upstairs was not stopped by life and death, and now the teahouse waiter who is extremely passive is extremely annoyed.

Especially after seeing Lu Qinzhou, a distinguished guest who is rarely received in the hall, really disturbed by this unreasonable dead-headedness, facing the questioning of Lu Qinzhou's righteous brother who treats him like his own brother, it is even more impossible to do it for him. hidden.

"I'm really sorry," he kept bowing with a bitter face, "this guest officer insisted that he had a benefactor named Lei who was in this box, but he insisted on barging in to pay respects! He refused to listen, and he would rather be rude than force his way in. I couldn't stop him for a while, so..."

Bao Zheng looked ashamed, and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry. It's just that I only met Lord Lei En once, and I don't know his identity or where he lives. If I want to repay him, there is no way out. I saw him suddenly on the street just now, I couldn't control myself for a while, and I was afraid that he would go too far, so I accidentally lost my manners, I'm really sorry."

Di Qing frowned, and looked at the slightly embarrassed scribe: "Is your benefactor really surnamed Lei?"

Bao Zheng nodded very firmly.

Di Qing looked at the guy with a wrinkled face: "Among the guests in the box on this floor, is there any one whose surname is Lei?"

"I dare to swear to God, absolutely not!" The waiter was anxious: "There are not many guests who come to the box at noon, and I happen to recognize them all. If there is such a guest officer surnamed Lei, I would also like to fulfill your good deed of repaying your favor." , how could I deliberately lie to you?"

After distinguishing that the man's words did not seem to be fake, Di Qing asked: "Among the guests who left the shop not long ago, is there anyone named Lei?"

This time, without waiting for the waiter to speak, Bao Zheng confirmed: "To tell you the truth, when I saw Engong on the street, I went straight to this teahouse without a moment's delay. Ruoengong left just then. , I am also on the road he must pass, and will never pass by."

what on earth is it?

Di Qing's brows became tighter and tighter, and he was at a loss.

Bao Zheng said apologetically: "It is indeed my fault to break in rashly. It is just that I have been looking for Mr. Lei En for a long time, and now I finally see hope, and I really don't want to leave here. I don't know if I can let you stay in the lobby and wait for Mr. Ren to come out. Could you at least go and say hello?"

Seeing that he was finally no longer eager to knock on the door of each box, the man was relieved, and his attitude eased: "That's easy to say, I'll ask the shopkeeper."

Fortunately, even though Bao Zheng was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had a gentle demeanor, which made him look extraordinary at first glance.

Otherwise, with the way he started messing around, the buddy is afraid that other people will come and sweep him out.

Seeing that the matter was resolved under Bao Zheng's concession, although Di Qing was still not clear about the specific situation, but seeing that he was so persistent and determined, it really didn't seem dazzled, so he also tended to believe this person's words.

Now that the matter was over, Di Qing nodded to the two of them and wanted to go back to the box.

Just at this time, Lu Ci, who had been waiting for Di Qing for a long time but did not get back, couldn't hold back his growing curiosity, so he put down his wine cup and opened the door to come out: "Could it be that there is something tricky? "

As soon as Lu Cifu appeared, Di Qing was about to open his mouth to explain, but Bao Zheng, who was about to leave with his assistant, froze in an instant.

After his gaze accidentally passed over Lu Ci, his eyes widened at first, and then he quickly regained his composure, revealing an ecstasy that could not be ignored.

Lu Ci: "..."

What's wrong with this man?

Before he could speak, Bao Zheng had already bowed deeply, gratefully said: "I have seen Mr. Lei En."

Everyone present was taken aback.

What Mr. Ren?

Lu Ci, who was least in the situation, turned his head subconsciously when he heard the words, and looked behind him.

—no one was there.

He turned around suspiciously, and was even more surprised when he met Bao Zheng's undisguised fiery gaze.

"If the 'Mr. Lei En' in your mouth refers to me," Lu Ci smiled and said gently: "Then you definitely have the wrong person."

Despite Lu Ci's denial, Bao Zheng shook his head vigorously, and said firmly: "Although I only glanced at Mr. Lei En from a distance, it is absolutely impossible for me to recognize the wrong person."

Lu Ci, who had completely forgotten the effort of raising his hands that time, certainly couldn't remember the appearance of the scholar who helped a little.

Hearing this person's extremely resolute tone, he couldn't help laughing, and joked: "You don't seem to recognize the wrong person, do I seem to be unable to remember my name?"

The guy on the sidelines was dumbfounded at first, then amused immediately, and said bluntly: "I said you are dazzled! This is Lu Qinzhou, so how could it be Mr. Lei En?"

Such a handsome gentleman, why is his mind so unclear, and he just recognizes his benefactor indiscriminately when he pulls people?

Di Qing didn't seem to be relaxed about the scribe who clearly admitted the wrong person but was still messing around. Instead, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and immediately raised his guard.

I am afraid that they are pretending to be ignorant, deliberately coming to the father-in-law, and using this poor excuse as an opportunity to get close to the father-in-law and seek a famous job; it is very likely that they are like Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who defected to the enemy country and rebelled against their ancestors. Zong's secret work is to murder the ancestors.

He took a step forward without any trace, skillfully blocked in front of the grandfather, and said calmly: "Since you have admitted the wrong person, why don't you quickly step back and find your real benefactor?"

Bao Zheng said anxiously: "But——"

Lu Ci laughed, and took another look at this white and clean little scholar. After looking around in his mind, he couldn't find the corresponding face, then shook his head and said, "You really misidentified the person."

Did he really admit his mistake?

A moment of bewilderment flashed across Bao Zheng's eyes, and it instantly turned into determination.

If it were an ordinary-looking person, he might hesitate even longer.

But on that day, even if it was just a glimpse, the appearance and temperament like Engong was unique and unforgettable. How many people are there in the world?

It must be Engong who is noble in character, benevolent and helpful, and does not recognize him if he does not take the kindness of helping others to heart.

"Engonggui is busy with personnel, maybe he forgot." He looked hopefully at Lu Ci who was smiling helplessly, trying to recall some memories of the other party, and narrated: "More than three years ago, nearly four years ago, at the Luzhou Wharf, If there is no benefactor to give me the whole Sanguan as the road fund, I will learn from Xiarao, and I will have no money left to hire a boat to go to the capital to take the provincial exam..."

……what?

Lu Ci listened to it, and really felt that it sounded familiar.

"Although I don't know why the benefactor made the servants spread the name 'Lei Feng' as a taboo," Bao Zheng has determined that the famous Lu Qinzhou must have left the alias because of his high morals and unwillingness to repay the beneficiaries. , just not verbally entangled in this matter: "However, I also said that the next day, if you are lucky enough to achieve something, you must come to the door to thank you."

After hearing the word 'Lei Feng', Lu Ci's faint memories of the past finally came back and became extremely clear.

Di Qing obviously remembered it too, and his expression became subtle.

Facing the true benefactor who remembered the name of that random nonsense clearly and came to the door, Lu Ci's mouth twitched, and he even felt a little bit pained.

...Why did I have to make so many dramas when I was like a second child?

Could it be that someone looking for a red scarf will appear one day?

When Bao Zheng told about the past, he kept his eyes fixed on Lu Ci, and naturally he didn't miss the subtle expression changes on Lu Ci's face.

Now, he is completely sure that the 'Mr. Lei En' whom he has been thinking about for many years is definitely the 'Mr. Lu En' in front of him.

He took a deep breath, bowed again as if relieved from a heavy burden, and begged: "... Please benefactor, don't let me become that person who doesn't believe what he says."

Lu Ci coughed lightly, and didn't have the nerve to explain why he made up his name. He just said frankly: "You misunderstood. The disaster you suffered that day was more or less related to my investigation of the bribery case of the shipping company. You were innocently implicated. , almost missed the future, I should take care of you, but I can never say that you are indebted. Now I know that you have been named on the gold list, and I am also relieved. As for the visit to thank you, I really can't afford it, and there is really no need."

For Lu Ci's remarks, Bao Zheng obviously could not accept them at all.

In investigating the bribery case of the shipping company, the benefactor has clearly benefited thousands of people, and it is a righteous deed that will remove the gangrene of the bone and will be of great benefit in the long run. How can it be said that he has been implicated in the disaster?

It's just that the benefactor's heart is like a bright moon, and he insists on not accepting his gratitude, and he is not good at forcing others to make things difficult for him, insisting on forcing it.

Bao Zheng thought about it, and his expression changed incomparably tangled, and finally he settled on an expression that anyone could tell was 'pretending to understand and pretending to be confused', and bowed to Lu Cichang: " Since it is what benefactor said, I must believe it."

Lu Ci: "..."

Before I say that, please put on a little more pretense.
