Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Although Lu Ci felt a little speechless, he couldn't help leaning over, wanting to read carefully what Zhu said he had written while taking a break from his busy schedule.

Just after reading the second sentence, Zhu Shuo, who finally got rid of Teng Zongliang's "entanglement", came back in a hurry.

Hearing the movement from outside the door, Lu Ci badly continued to peek at the article written by his friend, so he pretended to be ignorant and took the initiative to open the door, and met the eager Zhu Shuo.

Lu Ci took the initiative to say hello with a bright smile: "Brother Zhu is back?"

Seeing that Lu Ci was really in his room as the servant said, Zhu said that because he and Brother Teng had done the 'bad thing' of following Brother Lu privately and secretly watching them discuss official business, his heart suddenly leaked Jumping for a beat, it almost came out of his mouth: "Lu, Brother Lu."

Huh?

Seeing that the always honest and prudent Zhu Di showed such a flustered expression that could not conceal his guilty conscience for the first time, Lu Ci nodded calmly, and the curiosity in his heart quietly arose.

what happened?

After Zhu said that he had just calmed down his chaotic mood, he raised his eyes and met Shang Luci's smiling eyes.

Zhu said: "..."

His little foundation that had just been gathered was immediately released.

He no longer cared about the words that Brother Teng told him when he let him go, and told him not to let Lu Ci know. Instead, he didn't wait for Lu Ci to ask a question, and took the initiative to say "wrong thing" just now. Ten times explained.

Out of guilt for disobeying brother Teng's instructions, Zhu said that Teng Zongliang played a leading role in it, but did not downplay his actions at all.

But Lu Ci didn't know them the first day, how could he not know who started it?

After Zhu said that he had completely 'confessed', he finally let out a breath of relief, which made Lu Ci feel dumbfounded.

At this moment, Teng Zongliang didn't know it. Although he looked reluctant just now, he agreed to keep his mouth shut. There was no need for Lu Ci to speak. Sold clean.

If he was there, he might be fainted by the overly honest Zhu Shuo.

Lu Ci also forgot that Zhu said that only when he was in front of him would he be so honest.

"If you really want to hear it, why don't you just knock on the door and come in? With the friendship you and Zhang Kang have been walking together all the way, and Brother Teng's passing judgment for Qinzhou, it is appropriate both in terms of emotion and reason." Lu Ci smiled. : "Besides, if we really want to discuss some important military affairs, how can we really hide it from you."

The more generous Lu Ci was, the more embarrassing Zhu Shuo felt at the madam's act of catching a rape just now, and his face burned hotly: "... If there is a next time, I will definitely persuade Brother Teng to stop messing around."

"That's not necessary," Lu Ci waved his hand, and said firmly: "Brother Teng is funny, but he has his own sense of propriety, so there is no need to worry too much. And if he really wants to mess around, I'm afraid Brother Zhu won't be able to stop him. "

Zhu said hesitating for a moment, then nodded.

With Brother Teng's unrestrained imagination that day, matched with his astonishing ability to act...he is really not sure whether he can stop this point immediately next time.

"However, even if you don't come to ask, I will talk to you when the time is right." Lu Ci said with a smile: "It's too early to talk about it now, not because I'm afraid that the news will leak from you. But because of Gongshou's stubborn temper, if he doesn't make some decent results, he doesn't want to let people know his plans too early."

Although there is some hope in the path that Zhang Kang actively explored, it does not require much manpower to operate it.

Just in case, before it happens, I'm afraid it's better to keep a low profile and let as few people know about it as possible.

Zhu said with a sigh, and said apologetically, "Although I never meant to press you, I still made Brother Lu difficult."

"It's absolutely nothing." Lu Ci patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a warm voice, "It's clear that Brother Zhu is too polite."

Regardless of the reason, Lu Ci kept absolute secrecy for the high-spirited Zhang Kang, and also assigned him other tasks on the surface, so as not to worry about the future.

Zhang Kang was well aware of this, and while appreciating his gratitude, he was gearing up and made up his mind to open up this way.

Just as he and Lu Jiedu had expected, the reason why the recently favored Guo Li was so high-profile was that she was indeed looking for a way out for herself.

Wen Buqi likes the new and dislikes the old, which can be seen from the number of wives and concubines in his mansion.

Guo Li was kidnapped by him, not only her reputation was ruined, but also her marriage was ruined, and she fell into a tragic situation where she could not return home.

She has a strong and resolute personality, and she hated him deeply in her heart after suffering such a disaster, so how could she be willing to bear children for him?

Therefore, on the first day of entering the mansion, he heartily poured a bowl of sterilization pills down his stomach, and then flattered her, just to seek as many benefits as possible, so as to speed up the time to return to the motherland.

However, the Guo family is cowardly and fearful, and she tried her best to fight for it, but they went from being trembling at first, to being grateful later, and even from fear at first, to actively persuading her to give birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible, so that they can have someone to rely on in the future.

When she heard her mother's stammering persuasion, Guo Li vomited as if she had swallowed a fly.

Although she didn't turn her face on the spot, but just perfunctory and sent him away, she felt a chill in her heart.

She had to wake up - this group of family members who were so quick to see Qian Qian could not be trusted.

They enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind. The brothers and sisters-in-law who are in charge of the family have long forgotten her pain, and the parents only value their children.

How could such a family take her home and even plan revenge for her?

But let Guo Li let go of her hatred and seize this fleeting favor, she would rather meet and die.

Just when Guo Li was isolated and helpless, and felt that all her internal organs were dying, someone came to report that it was the Ma Guotou raised by the Su family business who was carrying a lot of goods and was begging to see her outside.

Guo Li was extremely anxious, how could she still be in the mood to pick out the latest clothes that flowed in from Da Song Na as usual?

She waved her hand in boredom, and wanted to order someone to send Su Ma Guotou away, but suddenly changed her mind the next moment: "...let them come in."

The servant had long been used to her arrogant and domineering appearance relying on Wen Buqi's favor, so he nodded expressionlessly at this moment, and let Su Ma Guotou and his group in.

"It's really not easy to meet Mrs. Guo."

As soon as Su Ma Guotou entered the tent, he smiled and put his heavy burden on the ground.

Guo Li squinted at him, and didn't care about the tall and burly men who entered with him, she just regarded it as a let-off this time: "Don't you usually come after winter? Why did you come so early this year? "

"It's freezing faster this year. If it's delayed for a few more days, the road will be completely frozen, and the legs and feet of mules and horses will be slippery. They will definitely not be able to handle them." Su Ma Guotou made an excuse at random: "When it gets warmer next year, I dared to come here, I can’t ask the brothers below to explain to me, right?”

Guo Li rolled her eyes in annoyance, and said bluntly: "You have to say that the weather is bitter and cold every year, and you obviously want a good price, so why put on an air?"

Su Ma Guotou was still smiling after being punctured, and argued: "Ms. Guo is joking, it's nothing."

Guo Li didn't take advantage of the victory to chase after him, insisting that he should not get off the stage. Instead, she glanced at him again, stopped talking, and concentrated on looking at the new material of Su Ma pot head spread on the low mat.

After all, money and wealth are all gentle, and it was only in this very short period of time recently that he was willing to squander it for her.

If you don't take advantage of this moment to buy more household items, and save them for fleeing and living alone in the future, do you have to wait until you fall out of favor before buying them?

Guo Li would not be lenient when spending money from an enemy that she hated to the bone.

With just a quick glance, she felt that these fabrics were very familiar; after flipping through them for a while, her inexplicable sense of familiarity immediately came to fruition.

What nonsense is Su Ma Guotou talking about? These are clearly the same as the batch brought last month!

Guo Li was annoyed, she felt that everything was not going well, even Ma Guotou dared to fool her.

Just as her complexion sank and she was about to have an attack, her fingers suddenly touched something other than soft cloth, which made her startled slightly, and stopped involuntarily.

It was a very inconspicuous little note.

Huh?

Under suspicion, Guo Li couldn't help looking at Su Ma Guotou.

Su Ma Guotou quickly winked at her, and said carelessly: "Miss Guo has good eyesight! This is the latest material, and it is loved by noble ladies in Beijing. It's just that good clothes need good jewelry, I don't know Miss Guo. In your jewelry box, are there still one or two pieces of jewelry that can match the material of this suit missing?"

Guo Li was quick-witted. Although she didn't know what tricks Su Maguotou was playing, she still readily cooperated. She got up and pretended to be displeased.

The servants are all accustomed to the moodiness of the Palace Master's new favorite.

It's not surprising that she wants to open her extremely precious jewelry box and drive her servants away.

Several people looked at each other, then went out of the room together with indifference, and stood guard outside the door.

Anyway, with them watching here, no matter how domineering she is, there will be no disturbances.

But Su Ma Guotou is a frequent visitor to this tea ceremony all the year round, and has done a lot of big business with high-ranking officials and nobles from various tribes in Tubo, so it is impossible for him to do stupid things that caused his death.

What they didn't know was that as soon as all the Tubo servants in this tent left, Guo Li's expression changed instantly: "Tell me, you are so secretive, what tricks are you trying to do?"

After getting a small promise from Lu Jiedu and taking a lot of money from Zhang Kang, Su Ma Guotou is still very trustworthy.

He also put away his cynical face just now, and politely punched Zhang Kang, who was dressed in horse feet, "Next, if the envoy of Beijing wants to say something, I will not go overboard and do it for me."

Fortunately, even though Zhang Kang was a civil servant, he was fat and burly, with a lot of strength, so he could do hard work like a horse.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to sneak into this heavily guarded account with Zhang Sheng's face.

"Thank you, Brother Su, for going all the way for me to thread the needle for me." Zhang Kang said bluntly, "I have worked so hard on it, and I will report it to Lu Jiedu afterwards."

These words were right for Su Ma Guotou's appetite, he said happily, "Then I won't be polite!"

After saying that, he tactfully walked to the corner of the tent farthest from the two and sat down, without looking in their direction.

Such as the Beijing envoy? !Lu Jiedu? !

Although Guo Li only captured a few words, it was enough to shock her heart.
