Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Although Lu Ci achieved the goal of diverting Teng Zongliang's attention by dumping Liu Qi in time, it was only a stopgap measure after all.

After several crazy books and scolding Liu Qi, who dared to look like his daughter who was babbling, Teng Zongliang quickly remembered what Lu Ci had said unintentionally.

He didn't even care about pestering his wife anymore, he locked himself in the study directly, grasping this doubtful point that could be a breakthrough, and brooded hard on his chin.

Relying on the experience of being a loser for many years, he made a keen judgment first: behind those words, there is definitely a situation.

If it is placed on others, it may be just a meaningless casual mention, but once it is placed on Lu Ci, it will be no small matter.

You know, Lu Ci is not only not greedy for beauty, but has almost reached the point of asceticism: he is always insensitive to the Iceman, courteous to the little ladies who are full of obsessions with him, even the beauties sent to the door by the official family , can all be sent away without hesitation.

Thanks to Lu Ci's eloquence, clever mind, and ability to always come up with some surprising and eye-catching movements, this son-in-law who is so fast in the eyes of the father of all the girls in the world dragged on so abruptly. I have never been married for a year, and I am still alone.

According to Teng Zongliang's guess, either this cunning fox Lu already has his own heart, or his vision is too high, and he doesn't want to settle down when he can't find a match, or, he is not enlightened at all, only obsessed with food and public affairs Woolen cloth.

Such a wonderful person suddenly brought up the topic of 'old husband and young wife', how could it be casually mentioned?

Most of the time, I met the person I like, but I am afraid that the other person is too young to marry because of her age...

The more Teng Zongliang thought about it, the more reliable he felt, he couldn't help but stare, wishing he could go directly to Lu's house, and ask the culprit who made him feel restless, so as to verify his conjecture.

However, after considering the force gap between him and the seemingly weak opponent, and the fact that Di Qing, who was definitely going to sideline the fight, was included, Teng Zongliang still held back with difficulty.

After a night of tossing and turning, he couldn't wait to change into his official uniform early the next morning. Under the suspicious gaze of his servants, he changed his usual habit of not going out until the last minute, and excitedly left home early and went straight to the Lu residence. go.

When he rode his horse through the three separate streets and arrived at the gate of Lu's house, it happened to be the right time for Lu Ci to go out.

Lu Ci tilted his head, and was teasing Xiao Haitang to talk, when he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, following the sound, he saw the word "eight" written on the left cheek and the word "gua" written on the right cheek, which is rare in the early morning Teng Zong, who seemed to be in high spirits, forgave.

... As expected, what was supposed to come still couldn't escape.

The corners of Lu Ci's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't miss the faint black color in Teng Zongliang's eyes: "It's rare to see Brother Teng before dawn."

After pondering for a whole night, Teng Zongliang, who became more and more sure of his guess, heard the meaning of the words at this moment, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even smiled brightly and quickly responded: "After all, I have been thinking about it all night, old man. After the young wife, I think the thousand-year-old iron tree is about to bloom, and the jade-clean and icy immortal is about to move everyone's heart, how can we not be in a hurry?"

Lu Ci smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and he was obviously invulnerable, so he just said lightly: "Really?"

Only Di Qing, who was kept in the dark, had no clue about the riddle. After looking left and right for a while, he was still at a loss.

Teng Zongliang has studied and worked with Lu Ci for many years, after seeing such a reaction, how can he not see that what he said just now is [-]% accurate?

Incredible, incredible!

Teng Zongliang was so excited that he couldn't contain himself for a while, even Lu Huli's vaguely murderous eyes couldn't suppress his excitement. Seeing that Di Qing was still in a daze, he hurriedly walked a few steps closer, and opened his mouth and said: "Young brother is not here yet. Do you know? Your Brother Lu—"

"Brother Teng," Lu Ci smiled lightly, and interrupted him directly: "If you make up one more word of rumor, all the foreign affairs before you are fully qualified and transferred will be handed over to you to run away."

He only understood his intention yesterday, and made up his mind again that he will wait until this bag of cabbage grows up.

At this most delicate stage, I can also tease Di Qing from time to time, and get along with each other more, so that this hazy relationship will heat up, and then it will be a matter of course...

Now that the plan was made, how could he tolerate this layer of window paper that he didn't even bother to pierce, being kicked away by Teng Er, who had guessed half of it, but didn't expect the other half at all?

Teng Zongliang: "..."

The deterrent power of these words is extremely great, and it can be said to have an immediate effect. It directly made Teng Zongliang shiver and faint.

Although Di Qing was more or less concerned because he didn't wait for the next text, but he had always enshrined the words of his father-in-law like a scripture, and when he heard that brother Teng's unspoken words had been defined as "rumors" by Lu Ci, he thought about Teng Occasionally, my brother would talk nonsense, just to argue with the grandfather, and immediately stopped paying attention to the words that just started.

He pursed his lips slightly, and quickly calmed down the sweet time that the two of them had rarely been alone together. The little depression that disappeared because of Brother Teng's intrusion, regained his spirit, and said to Lu Ci: "Grandfather, then... I will... Go back to the barracks first."

Lu Ci smiled and nodded.

From Teng Zongliang's point of view, this Lu fox then told him in a tone as gentle as water dripping, completely different from the hidden murderous intent towards him: "Come back more often in the future."

Without waiting for Di Qing to respond, he added with a smile: "In case I'm too worried and don't think about eating and drinking."

Di Qing was taken aback for a moment, but when he thought about it, his face turned red.

How could the grandfather be so...

so……

so good.

He turned his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at such a gentle grandfather, for fear that his ulterior motives would be seen.

But he didn't know that such a shy and evasive action could just expose his steamed red ears completely.

Lu Ci held back his laughter, remembering to accept it when he saw it. He didn't continue to tease the thin-skinned Di Qing in front of Teng Zongliang who was stunned. Instead, he waved his hand and let the distraught Di Qing leave.

Teng Zongliang silently watched Di Qing's back go away, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Ci with grief and indignation: "How unfair brother Ci treats me!"

Treating the younger brother is like a spring breeze blowing on the face, but treating him is like a cold wind!

He said angrily: "The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old ones. Why do you like the new and dislike the old when you are at Cidi's office? I have known you for many years, far longer than Younger Brother!"

"Wake up quickly."

Lu Ci's face changed in an instant, and he said indifferently: "One is a twenty-eight-year-old young man who is full of vigor and obedience to my words, and the other is an old bad friend who is lazy and addicted to talking too much, and complains endlessly if he does more work. ..."

Speaking of this, he looked seriously at the dumbfounded Teng Zongliang, and mercilessly continued the brutal blow: "Even I have to be old, brother Teng is nearly ten years older than me, and why is he so thick-skinned? How dare you compare yourself with such an obedient little man?"

Teng Zongliang was speechless.

"Then," Teng Zongliang held on with difficulty after being in a trance for a while, and asked cautiously and firmly: "Which family is that little lady who moved the heart of the immortal in front of me?"

Lu Ci: "..."

After all, he still underestimated Teng Zongliang's persistent gossip for him.

"The time is not yet ripe, even for you, brother Teng," Lu Ci generously admitted that Di Qing was not here, but it is naturally impossible to say who it is for: "I can't say for the time being."

"I know it! I know it!"

Although Teng Zongliang was [-]% certain the moment he saw Lu Ci's reaction, but Lu Ci's personal answer was the real final word.

After thinking about it all night, he came to a firm conclusion, and he had an insight into it. How could Teng Zongliang not be excited?

Seeing a series of exaggerated actions of his friend who almost jumped three feet high, bouncing and screaming a few times while leaning on the wall, Lu Ci's eyelids twitched and he was almost taken aback. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Teng, don't forget your appearance."

Teng Zongliang said without hesitation: "Even your stone is about to bloom, so why should I care about my appearance?"

Even so, after being reminded by Lu Ci, he still restrained himself a little, moved his eyeballs, and approached them unwillingly, sticking them to Lu Ci's ear, and said furtively, "I really can't say it?"

Lu Ci said ruthlessly, "I can't."

Teng Zongliang sighed deeply.

In any case, Lu Ci admitted that his heart belonged, which finally solved his great confusion.

Seeing Teng Zongliang gradually calm down, Lu Ci's frowning brows gradually relaxed.

Fortunately, Zhu said that he happened to go to inspect the fortifications in the county seat for him in the past two days, and he didn't live at home, otherwise Teng Zongliang would have made such a rant, and there would have been someone who was curious about this matter.

Lu Ci vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, but because Teng Zongliang quickly recovered from the state of gossip, he kept talking to him about some not urgent but rather tricky business affairs, which inevitably distracted him. Naturally, I forgot to delve into that matter.

It wasn't until half a month later that Lu Ci received the overwhelming pile of letters from other friends in Bianjing with a dazed expression...

He stared at Teng Zongliang who was as quiet as a chicken because of a guilty conscience, only to realize later what he had forgotten.

——Forgot to give Teng Zongliang a password.

What's even more 'unfortunate' is that there are obviously many people who are interested in the emotional life of Lu Sanyuan, who has always been interested in beauty and has no desires and desires like a banished fairy.

Liu Qi, Yan Shu, the little emperor, Kou Zhun, Song Shou, who are most familiar with him, needless to say, even Wang Zeng, Li Di and others who have always been serious have sent letters, wanting to ask where they are from. sacred.

Facing Lu Ci's increasingly murderous gaze, Teng Zongliang, who had been sitting on pins and needles since the Dongchuang incident, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He cleared his throat, and defended as lightly as a mosquito: "I... just told Brother Liu."

Lu Ci was expressionless, noncommittal.

Teng Zongliang continued: "Really, I even refrained from mentioning Brother Zhu, and Brother Qing didn't even say a word..."

"It's okay, it's over."

Lu Ci interrupted him expressionlessly, and said softly, "You are dead."

Teng Zongliang: "..."

He shrank back like a quail again.

Lu Ci easily found the thick stack of letters belonging to Liu Qi in the terrifying pile of letters, his face numb.

——It is conceivable that letting Liu Qi, who knows how to write poems and storybooks with embellishments and jealousy, and who is louder than a loudspeaker, know about it, it is almost the same as being announced to the world by the little emperor.
