Mrs. Rebirth

"My lord, we're here." The bearer parked the soft sedan chair at the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion, and looked at the high-hanging door plaque with a little admiration.

Cao Zongguan got off the sedan chair and told them to go back first, then walked up the steps alone.

The concierge had already been notified before, so he only briefly glanced at the post Cao Zongguan handed over, took another look at Cao Zongguan, and led him in.

This is Cao Zongguan's first visit to Zhen Guogong's mansion. Curiosity is inevitable, but the etiquette education has kept him from looking left and right. He just pays attention to the scenery on both sides from the corner of his eye.

Walking to a long corridor, Cao Zongguan had a preliminary impression of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, that is, it is big, quiet, and few people.

After counting the number of owners in this mansion, Cao Zongguan felt relieved.

"My little brother, are there any other guests coming to the house today?" Cao Zongguan asked casually.

"So far, you are the first one." The boy who led the way didn't say much, but answered Cao Zongguan's question positively, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

Cao Zongguan knew that the servants of such a mansion were strictly trained, so it would be strange if they talked about everything.

After bypassing two courtyards, Cao Zongguan finally saw one of the owners of this mansion.

"Brother Cao is here?" Zuo Shaoqing walked out of the pavilion, and did not greet him too politely, but just welcomed him into the already arranged pavilion.

Cao Zongguan looked at the surrounding scenery, but there were no flowers as he had imagined. There were plants similar to aquatic plants in the pool, and a few edible fish could be vaguely seen swimming happily. Most of the surrounding trees were pines, cypresses, bamboos, etc. Not a single delicate variety.

Zuo Shaoqing followed his gaze and said embarrassingly: "There are few people in the mansion, the place is too busy, and the old lady and Mr. Lu are not people who like to appreciate flowers, so they only pick and grow things that are easy to work. .”

"No, this is very good!" Cao Zongguan boasted sincerely: "As expected of Duke Zhen's style."

Zuo Shaoqing invited him to sit down. This pavilion was built on the water because he liked it, but he was afraid of the cold. Before Lu Zheng came back, he had someone build it into a warm pavilion. The place is a bit small, and it is very warm to go, especially when the sun shines in the afternoon. When you come in, it is a good place to take a rest.

Zuo Shaoqing washed his hands and burned incense, boiled a pot of Yuqian Longjing, poured a cup for each of them, and then asked, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, how is Brother Cao doing now?"

"I haven't thanked you enough for saving my life." Cao Zongguan stood up and bowed to Zuo Shaoqing, "If it wasn't for Shaoqing's help, I'm afraid I would have been decapitated long ago."

"It's just a little effort, the main reason is that Brother Cao didn't make an unforgivable mistake."

Cao Zongguan felt ashamed in his heart, but he also knew that he could not make up for it with a few words, "If there is something that can be useful to me in the future, please feel free to speak up, although this possibility is unlikely."

With Zuo Shaoqing's current status, not to mention the government of Zhen Guo is at his command, even in the officialdom, he must have his own cronies, but there is no need to use him.

"Brother Cao is too polite." According to the trajectory of history, Cao Zongguan may have married his eldest sister. The two may not have a good time at first, but his eldest sister is good at living. Maybe slowly, Cao Zongguan will find her good. , then there will be no such series of problems.

Cao Zongguan drank a few cups of hot tea, slowly suppressed his uneasiness, and chatted with Zuo Shaoqing everywhere.

He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, not much worse than Zuo Shaoqing. If Zuo Shaoqing had no experience in his previous life, he might not be able to achieve better results than Cao Zongguan in the examination room.

"Brother Cao is planning to make persistent efforts in the next imperial examination?"

Speaking of this, Cao Zongguan thought of someone, turned his head away with some red ears, and just said "um".

Someone who was peeping with clairvoyance saw his awkward expression and laughed "hehe" inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, do you mean this kind of opinion by your so-called opinion?" Lu Zheng asked suspiciously behind him.

Zhan Yuanfeng came secretly with them early this morning, and then made an excuse that he wanted to play chess with Lu Zheng alone, and after dismissing Zuo Shaoqing, he dragged her to occupy the tall building.

This building is facing the courtyard where Zuo Shaoqing and the others are located. Although the distance is a bit far, Zhan Yuanfeng did not expect to bring clairvoyance, which was obviously premeditated.

"Ahem..." Hearing Lu Zheng's voice, Zhan Yuanfeng hurriedly put down his clairvoyance, turned around and looked at Lu Zheng seriously, "I just want to see what that person looks like first, if it's too ugly I'll disappear .”

Lu Zheng didn't expose him, "It turns out that the emperor's way of knowing people is to look at the face, so I don't know if this Cao Ju is in line with your vision?"

"It's okay, that's all." Zhan Yuanfeng leaned against the window sill, as if trying to recall the appearance of that person, and muttered in a low voice: "In terms of appearance, he is naturally inferior to Zuo Aiqing." But why did he feel that she just now Does blushing look attractive?

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard what he said, he just said insinuatingly: "In the harem, there are people who are thin and fat, and all of them are extremely beautiful. Why should the emperor care about other people's appearance?" It was still a man.

"Did you guess it?" Zhan Yuanfeng didn't seem surprised at all, just a little embarrassed.

"I wasn't sure at first, but I knew everything when I saw your appearance just now."

Zhan Yuanfeng touched his face, is it just the beginning of love?Could it be that Lu Zheng didn't learn well when he was a child?It seems that military generals are military generals, and their literary attainments are a bit lacking.

He sighed, "I don't know what's wrong, things suddenly developed in an unpredictable direction, if..."

He didn't continue, but Lu Zheng somewhat understood what he meant. He frowned and said, "I don't agree with your approach."

"Why?" Zhan Yuanfeng asked suspiciously: "You can marry a male wife, you can disregard morals and ethics, disregard people's doubts, disregard the Lu family's incense, I think you will be the one who supports me the most."

"Because I'm not you." Lu Zheng answered briefly with six words, but it was enough to capture Yuan Feng's budding passion.

"Then what if you sit in my place instead?"

"impossible!"

"I said what if!"

"How could such a thing happen?"

"Lu Aiqing, you are too rigid!" Zhan Yuanfeng sat down at the table, poured a glass of wine into his stomach, "I just want to know what you would do if it were you."

"If you meet it, you will naturally not let it go. If you don't meet it, you won't force it." Lu Zheng replied naturally.

From the day he knew his sexual orientation, he had never thought of having a child. It would be good to find someone to accompany him for the rest of his life, but if he couldn't meet him, he didn't plan to find someone to make love to.

"If Zuo Aiqing didn't accept you back then, what would you have done?"

Lu Zheng squinted at him, "Your Majesty, you don't have to beat around the bush and transfer your affairs to the minister, how can there be so many ifs?"

"Uh..." Zhan Yuanfeng was choked heavily, but he also knew that encounters between people and machines are not different. He is not Lu Zheng, and Cao Zongguan is not Zuo Shaoqing. Even if they get along in different places, they may not be able to achieve a positive result.

Drinking the wine one after another, Zhan Yuanfeng tried to imagine many kinds of futures, but no matter which one, it was not perfect.

In the end, he didn't have the determination to give up everything for a man. To him, Cao Zongguan was like a bone with flesh.

This seems to be the most tangled thing he has encountered in his life. He was able to persevere in his pursuit of the throne for ten years, and successfully created a filial, benevolent and wise image of the prince. , and never wavered his determination to clean up the government, but he didn't expect to fall on a man in the end.

Sure enough, the word love is the most harmful!

"While the rumors have not subsided, the emperor might as well think about it, no matter what decision you make, I will support it."

Zhan Yuanfeng raised his head and said gratefully: "Lu Aiqing, you are the most worry-free subject." Strong, loyal, not noisy, and not too busy, there is really no one more in line with his wishes Courtier.

Thinking of those stubborn veterans, Zhan Yuanfeng was one head and two big.

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes at him and explained: "I just feel that this is a personal matter. As long as the emperor is not a foolish tyrant, loving men and women has nothing to do with me."

Zhan Yuanfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It would be great if those old antiques could think the same way." In fact, he also understands that the harem and courtiers have always been inextricably linked, and only a five-generation single-handed man like the Zhenguo Mansion can get along with them. The royal family is not related by any marriage.

If Lu Zheng had a daughter or younger sister in the palace, he might not be so easy to talk to.

Lu Zheng glanced at him and reminded: "It's getting late, you can't let them sit and drink tea all the time, can you?"

Zhan Yuanfeng paused, then got up and straightened his sleeves without any wrinkle, and said with a hint of excitement: "Let's go, meet that person."
