Pick up a prince to get married

It was noon on the second day when Shen Congming and Lu Yi arrived in Donglu, Shen Congming first handed over the greeting card to the Qi Mansion, and had lunch with Lu Yi at the inn before going to the Qi Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the Qi mansion, he saw Qi Tianyou walking out of the gate, "You two are my father's distinguished guests, my father is waiting in the garden."

Shen Congming took a look at Qi Tianyou and nodded slightly, "Your Excellency must be Qi Tianyou, the eldest son of the Qi family. I have heard for a long time that the eldest son is very handsome, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation."

"Sir, you are being polite. This junior, Yi Jiu Yang, is a man of great talent and knowledge. Who is this?" Qi Tianyou looked at Lu Yi slightly puzzled.

"Here is Lu Yi, a disciple of the outer sect of Xuanji Pavilion." Lu Yi clasped his hands and cupped his fists, Qi Tianyou smiled slightly, "Mr. Lu."

After a few chats, they arrived at the garden. In the early spring, when all the flowers are in full bloom, the Qi Mansion Garden has lasted for a hundred years, and there are many exotic flowers and plants. Even Shen Congming couldn't help admiring secretly. The family with a century-old heritage is indeed extraordinary. have to.

"Mr. Shen." Qi Huaicheng stood up, and Shen Congming also greeted, "Patriarch Qi."

The four of them sat down, and immediately a maid served tea. Although Shen Congming was not familiar with the tea ceremony, he couldn't help but praise the good tea.

After some politeness, Qi Huaicheng said, "I don't know why Mr. Shen is here today?"

"Today, it was not Shen who was talking to Patriarch Qi, but my nephew, Lu Yi." Shen Congming said.

"It's Lu Yi." Lu Yi turned his head.

Qi Huaicheng nodded, "I wonder if Mr. Lu has anything to talk to the old man about?"

"I have heard for a long time that there is a lake in Donglu. In spring, there are hundreds of birds dancing around the lake, and in winter, there is a melody. I wonder if the eldest son may take Shen to have a look?"

Qi Tianyou glanced at his father, saw him nodding and smiling, "It's natural, please sir."

"My lord, please."

The two left the pavilion one after the other, only Qi Huaicheng and Lu Yi were left in the pavilion.

"The strange thing in Lin'an, Patriarch Qi must have received the emperor's secret order. I don't know what Patriarch thinks about this matter?" Lu Yi took a cup of tea and sniffed lightly on the tip of his nose, his drooping eyelashes couldn't see clearly, it was an old fox like Qi Huaicheng I couldn't see anything for a while.

"I don't know what Mr. Lu thinks about this matter?" Qi Huaicheng couldn't see through Lu Yi, and Lu Yi also couldn't see through Qi Huaicheng. In terms of morality and deeds, he was decades behind.

"Even though Donglu is on the border, it is still prosperous because the Qi family can borrow power from the heavens, and even Xirong would not dare to invade. However, compared with Lin'an, it is still too depressed after all. Although the Qi family has existed for a hundred years, it is a pity that Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind." Lu Yi turned the teacup, looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves, and was speechless.

With the wind blowing, Qi Huaicheng put down the tea in his hand, "Although Donglu is more depressed than Lin'an, it is more peaceful than other places. Although the wood is better than the forest, the wind will destroy it, but since it is better than other trees, it is naturally good."

"What the head of the family said is very true. I have heard a story. I wonder if the head of the house is interested?"

"Appreciate further details."

On the street, Shen Congming and Qi Tianyou walked slowly, "The people here live and work in peace and contentment."

"Donglu is located on the border of two countries, so naturally it has business dealings with both sides, and the people's lives are naturally much better off." Qi Tianyou laughed.

Shen Congming nodded, went to a small stall, picked up a wooden hairpin, looked at it, and asked, "Miss, how much is this wooden hairpin?"

"Seven... seven cents." The girl blushed when she saw Shen Congming, and lowered her head after she finished speaking in a whisper.

"Although this wooden hairpin is not bright wood, it is superior in its exquisiteness. Will Qiwen be too cheap?" Shen Congming asked.

"Enough... Enough, it's not cheap." The little girl blushed, her face was pretty, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Shen Congming paid the money and took the wooden hairpin, "Does the eldest son know how valuable this hairpin is?"

"This hairpin is ordinary and nothing valuable." Qi Tianyou was puzzled.

"If this hairpin costs nine coins, it will be expensive, and five coins will be a loss. Six coins is a guarantee, and seven coins is just right. But if the girl is greedy, eight coins is also just right."

"Mr. seems to have something in his words, can God bless you be blunt?"

"Satisfaction is always happy, contentment is always safe. East Lu can be so peaceful mainly because of the Qi family. With the Qi family, the people don't have to worry about turmoil, but it is also because of the presence of the Qi family that this place needs turmoil." Shen Congming mocked.

"Mr. God is puzzled by what you mean." Qi Tianyou frowned. What is Mr. Shen talking about in this irrelevant matter?

"This is a sincere message from Shen to the Qi family. The eldest son can tell this to your father, and your father will understand."

"Why don't you tell my father personally, sir?"

"Heh." Shen Congming smiled without saying a word, and continued to move forward.

In the garden, the wind is gentle, the sun is beautiful, and the misty smoke is full of poetry.

"There was once a suspicious landlord who had hundreds of hectares of fertile land and countless estates. He couldn't take care of it alone, so he took care of the servant. " Lu looked at Qi Huaicheng from the side, and Qi Huaicheng smiled lightly, "I don't know."

"Theoretically, such a good servant should be trusted and liked by the landlord, but no, the servant did such a good job that the landlord felt that the land no longer belonged to him, but belonged to the servant." People, so the landlord was furious and executed the servant."

"The landlord is confused."

"However, there are two endings to this story. One is the one I just told, and the other is completely different. In the other version, the servant takes care of the land so well that the land cannot be used without him. , without him, he can’t grow food, so every time the landlord wants to do something to him, he can’t do anything, because this land has become very important, and there are strange products here, but only servants can do this, So whatever the landlord is thinking, he has no choice but to do so." Lu Yi drank the tea from his cup.

"This servant is really smart." Qi Huaicheng said.

"The owner thinks the servant is smart?" Lu Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you think Mr. Lu?" Qi Huaicheng asked back.

"Who knows." It is specious and impossible to speculate.

"Mr. Lu has said so much, what is the final purpose?" Qi Huaicheng laughed.

"There is a strange thing in Lin'an, I hope the Patriarch will allow me to go with my junior uncle in the name of the Qi family." Lu has been blunt.

"This old man is helpless, after all..."

"How the servant keeps that special product from being known to outsiders is also a big skill."

"What does Mr. Lu mean?"

"Yin Yang and Five Elements, even those with a little knowledge know it, but do you really need to borrow the law from the sky without giving it back?"

"Mr. Lu is... threatening." The wind stopped, and everyone was quiet.

"I have absolutely no intention of doing so, I just want to negotiate a deal with Patriarch Qi." The smile on Lu Yi's face remained the same.

"Are all the disciples of Xuanji Pavilion's outer sect like Mr. Lu?"

"Maybe, maybe not. It's just that I happen to have some contacts in Donglu, so I know a thing or two."

"Young Master Lu, this one or two is the key."

"Actually, this matter is not harmful to the Patriarch." Lu Yi said sincerely.

"It's no good either."

"At least, I can guarantee that your son will return safely after this treachery."

"Oh, Mr. Lu has such sharp eyes." Qi Huaicheng drank the tea in his hand, however, it was left for too long and lost its original sweetness.

"Why should the Patriarch be angry? I just want to see the splendor of the imperial palace." Lu Yi smiled.

"Deal." Qi Huaicheng said.

"Thank you, Patriarch."

"It seems that my nephew has achieved what he wanted." Shen Congming said, who happened to hear this when he came back from a stroll with Qi Tianyou.

"It's all thanks to the good teaching of my little uncle. You have worked hard all the way, little uncle. I will give you a pinch." Lu Yi immediately changed his face and greeted him with dog legs, which made Qi Huaicheng feel a subtle sense of confusion for a moment. The dog-skin plaster pestering Shen Congming is not the same boy as the boy who made him feel a little frightened just now, right?Or maybe what the young man said just now was inspired by Shen Congming?Teach well...not impossible.

"So we won't bother you." Shen Congming wanted to leave.

"Since we're going to go together later, the two of you should stay in Qi Mansion temporarily." Qi Huaicheng said.

"So, excuse me." Shen Congming said.

"Don't disturb, the two of you are tired all the way, come and take the distinguished guests down to rest."

As soon as Qi Huaicheng's words fell to the ground, a maid stepped forward and led the two of them to the wing.

In the courtyard, Qi Tianyou told Qi Huaicheng about the conversation with Shen Congmingzhi, Qi Huaicheng's eyes flickered, "This hairpin is really precious."

Qi Tianyou was puzzled, but Qi Huaicheng didn't want to explain anymore, he just laughed loudly, "Sure enough, a hero born a boy."
