After the concubine took the script of the son-in-law

Shen Yilu and Xue Zhengan only learned from their colleagues that their two unfilial sons had gathered a group of prostitutes and ran to Luoyang in a big way when they were on duty the next day.

Shen Yilu: "..."

The rattan is stiff.

Xue Zhengan: "..."

He looked at Shen Yilu very apologetically, and felt that there was a high probability that his son encouraged Shen Ji to do this. After all, such a well-behaved child, Shen Ji, would actively encourage his son to be so nonsense?

It's also thanks to Xue Ji not knowing that his father took the initiative to pin the blame on him, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a good mood to enjoy the scenery on the westbound road at this moment.

On the horse's back, Xue Ji looked back at the slowly moving carriage behind, and asked Shen Ji beside him: "Shen Jizong, why do I think the little brother in the carriage looks familiar? That's actually a little lady!"

Shen Ji said: "Don't look around, that's my wife."

Xue Ji once again looked at Shen Ji with the eyes of "you seem to have that serious illness": "What are you thinking? Let me take a group of confidante friends out, you are good enough to take the main room with you carelessly. Why, to show off Your back house is very harmonious?"

"My wife has never been to Luoyang, can't I take her to enjoy the flowers?" Shen Ji was confident.

"Yes!" Xue Ji asked gossip again, "It's just that if you let your outer room and main room stay in the same carriage, you won't be afraid of them fighting?"

Speaking of this, Shen Ji felt a little depressed, because she found that her wife and Sister Lu had "loved each other at first sight"!

Yesterday her wife not only had a good talk with Sister Lu, she even invited Sister Lu to stay overnight.After being declined by Sister Lu, early this morning, her wife asked someone to pick up Sister Lu, got into the carriage hand in hand, and then drove her out to ride a horse.

I don't know what they are talking about now.

"What outer room, that's my righteous sister." Shen Ji said.

Xue Ji didn't believe her nonsense!

But for the sake of the other party's family harmony, he will not comment.Turning to look at Dou with a nervous face, he said, "Hey, it's not like you haven't seen a woman before, why are you so shy? Learn from Shen Jizong's courage and cheekiness, he dared to bring out his wife!"

Dou said that he was surrounded by a group of unbelievably beautiful women, surrounded by tangy aromas, and lingered in his ears, he was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head like this, wishing he could ride the horse alone Ran.

"Brother Shen, you are this." Dou said helplessly stretching out her thumb to Shen Ji, expressing that she dared to bring Li Yunyao out, except for the head iron or the head iron.

Shen Ji said: "Don't listen to his nonsense."

……

Because they were traveling under the guise of having fun, the speed of the group was not considered fast, but Shen Ji urged Xue Ji and others to hurry on the grounds that they had not yet entered the Luoyang border and there was no beautiful scenery, so they arrived at the river at night. Negative.

After resting for a night, the group changed to the waterway again, crossed the section of the Yellow River, entered the Luoshui River, and then walked westward along the Luoshui River for half a day, and then they could see the endless Beiman Mountains.

Beiman Mountain is not high, but it is the best geomantic treasure land where many emperors are buried, and many talented scholars have left many poems about it.Of course, most of them are lyrical works that revolve around it as a burial place, expressing their distressed feelings with emotion.

The focus of Shen Ji's attention is not on its geomantic omen, but on Luoyang City, which is facing it in the distance. She said: "Luoyang's military location is very superior. Not only is it close to Mang Mountain in the north, the situation is dangerous, but also the waterway is accessible. There are pass in all directions. It can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and it is more suitable as a capital than Bianliang."

Xue Ji said: "You are from Bianliang, and the family fortune accumulated by your ancestors for generations is in Bianliang. If you are allowed to move to Luoyang, would you be happy?"

"I don't care about it. After all, guarding this little family property while disregarding the safety of the country is a small loss. If the Khitan sends troops south, Bianliang has no dangerous terrain to defend. At that time, the iron hoof will trample on everything. If someone snatched it away, how can there be a family business to keep?"

"That's what I said, but after all, Bianliang is the place where we have lived and lived for generations, and I am reluctant to leave."

"I said that Luoyang's terrain is superior and can be used as a capital, but you are thinking about your own three-acre land, and you are short-sighted and hopeless."

Xue Ji sneered: "Yes, yes, I am a woman's opinion, you, Shen Yanei, have a long-term vision!"

"Stop praising yourself, all women have far-sightedness than you." Shen Ji turned around and yelled, "Young lady, right?"

"Lang Jun is right!" Li Yunyao's voice came from one of the cabins.

"Pfft——" I don't know who couldn't hold it back and let out a laugh, and the other prostitutes boldly untied their arms and laughed.

Xue Ji lost face in front of the prostitutes, glared at Shen Ji, snorted coldly, and also got into the cabin.

Dou said that at first he thought the two were arguing, but just when he wanted to persuade them to make peace, he remembered that this was not the first time they had quarreled, and they even fought a lot, but when they turned around, they still called each other brothers, and if they had fun, they would share it together? !So there's nothing to worry about at all.

When they arrived at the pier outside Luoyang City, the people sent by the Jing family to pick them up were already waiting, and the leader said to Xue Ji and Dou: "My lords, we have prepared a residence for you, please come with us. "

Xue Ji had long forgotten the unhappiness with Shen Ji, and asked, "What about you?"

"Miss Li and Shen Yanei, we have arranged another residence." The Jing family said humanely.

Shen Ji raised his head and chest, with a proud face: "We are husband and wife, so naturally we can't live with you."

Li Yunyao and Lu Nianchuan cast their eyes on her at the same time, the former's eyes were soft with a hint of a smile, while the latter's eyes were momentarily lonely, and then turned to the former.

At this moment, what else does Lu Nianchuan not understand?

"It's better if we don't stay together, so we don't get bored with you." Xue Ji snorted and left first.

Dou said, "After Brother Shen is settled, remember to have someone come and tell us, we'll go there first."

"it is good!"

After they took the prostitutes and left proudly under the envious eyes of many passers-by, the people of the Jing family invited Shen Ji, Li Yunyao, and Lu Nianchuan into the carriage, and took them straight to the Jing family's villa. .

Jing Sanlang, the current head of the Jing family, was already waiting for them. Shen Ji handed Yan Shu's handwritten letter to him. After reading it, he said: "I understand. You guys are going to rest here for a while. Gather information about the Wang family for you."

But Shen Ji said: "Besides the Wang family, please trouble Third Uncle Jing to help me inquire about a few more people."

Probably because he has never seen a son of an official family who would put down his dignity and call a merchant "uncle", Jing Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and said: "Shen Yamen, please tell me."

"Know the affairs of the Henan government, Jiao Jixun who stayed behind in Xijing, and passed the judgment of Teng Zhongzheng, the left-behind secretary of the Henan government."

"it is good."

Li Yunyao also called him after Shen Ji: "There is the third uncle Lao Jing."

Jing Sanlang smiled: "Miss Li, you are welcome."

After Jing Sanlang left, Shen Ji sat down on the chair and said: "My lady still has face."

She turned her head and saw that Lu Nianchuan was out of her mind, so she comforted her, "Sister Lu, don't worry, the Jing family has been operating here for decades, I believe we will hear about Yanyan soon."

Lu Nianchuan came back to his senses and knew that she had misunderstood, but it was hard to say that he was distracted by other things, so he smiled and said, "I know, you have already done your best, and the rest can only be done as human beings and obey the destiny." gone."

The next day, Xue Ji couldn't wait to bring people to Jingjia Bieye to look for Shen Ji. He said with great interest, "You are right. Every household in Luoyang grows peonies. It is worthy of the name of Peony Flower City. But peonies are blooming." It's only been [-] or [-] days since sunset, and we have already missed the first days of its full bloom, but we must not miss the last time when it shines, so let's go out and enjoy the peonies!"

Shen Ji said: "What's so good about this ordinary variety? Even if we go out and don't have a destination, we can only look at the flowers on horseback, which is no fun at all."

"So what do you have for fun?"

"I have inquired about it a long time ago. There is a kind of peony here. The variety is called 'Yao Huang'. It has yellow flowers and thousands of leaves. It was cultivated by the Yao family in Heyang. In Luoyang, only a few flowers bloom a year. It is called peony. Kao."

Xue Ji was curious: "Where can I see such a precious flower?"

"I know that there is a family named Lu who grows it."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Xue Ji was about to run away in a hurry, Dou said, "I'm afraid it's wrong if we take the liberty to visit the door?"

"Then let's pass the greeting card first!" Xue Ji urged Shen Ji, "Hurry up and lead the way."

Shen Ji said to Li Yunyao and Lu Nianchuan: "I'll come back as soon as I go. If you feel bored, you can go out for a stroll, but you must bring your attendants, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

"Understood, you also pay attention to safety." Li Yunyao said.

The interaction between the two made others envious.Xue Ji couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly took Shen Ji away.

-

The Lu family that Shen Ji mentioned is actually not an ordinary family - after all, an ordinary family cannot afford such precious flowers.

The Lu family's ancestral home was in Laizhou, Shandong. During the Later Tang Dynasty, there was a servant of the household department, Lu Mengqi. Later, Luoyang was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so the Lu family also settled in Luoyang.

Lu Mengqi has two sons, the eldest son, Lu Guitu, served as the living man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the eldest son of Zhao took the place of Zhou Li Song. Live in business.

The second son Lu Guixiang has no official position and has been studying all these years. Even though he is in his thirties, he has not given up the idea of ​​becoming an official through the imperial examination.

The reason why Shen Ji knew about them was because Yan Shu had mentioned a person to her - Lu Mengzheng.

Lu Meng was the son of Lu Guitu, and later a very famous minister and prime minister, but at this time he was probably just a down-and-out young man who was kicked out of the house with his mother and wandered outside for many years.

The reason why the mother and son are in such a situation has to start with Lu Guitu doting on his concubines and destroying his wives: As a son of an official, Lu Guitu is as romantic as many princes and grandchildren, and he took many concubines before and after he married his wife Liu.The Liu family was born in a famous family, with a strong temper, and often quarreled with Lu Guitu because of his concubine. In addition, Lu Guitu's concubine was blowing pillow wind and separating the couple, so that their relationship became more and more serious. worse.

Lu Guitu, who had a rift with Liu Shi, drove the mother and son out of Lu's house after a quarrel with Liu Shi, leaving them to fend for themselves outside.

Liu was lonely and helpless in Luoyang, and her life was very difficult. Her family persuaded her to remarry, but she saw through the man's nature, vowed not to marry again, and devoted herself to raising her son.

Now Lu Mengzheng is 30 years old, but the Lu family's house is still not peaceful.

I learned from Yan Shu that if the history has not changed, Lu Meng will be a Jinshi and then rise to the top. Shen Ji, the last extremely human minister, can't help but wonder whether Lu Guitu will regret it when he sees his eldest son so promising. So cruel to mother and child.

Of course, she didn't want to interfere with the Lu family's relationship between husband and wife, father and son. She came to the Lu family this time to appreciate the peonies. Bad fun, I want to see what kind of a fool like Lu Guitu who spoils his concubine and kills his wife is like.

Shen Ji's greeting post did not have the arrogance and arrogance of the prime minister's son at all. It read between the lines, "We heard about the reputation of the Lu family's peony king 'Yao Huang' in Bianliang, so we came here for the name. I don't know if Lu Langguan can be kind. Let's open our eyes" or something like that.

Lu Guitu used to be the living man, so others would respectfully call him "Lang Guan". Shen Ji called him that, naturally he was very happy to see him, and immediately welcomed them in, and took them to see the ten-thousand-dollar plant at home. "Yao Huang".

When Shen Ji, Xue Ji and his party were admiring peonies at Lu's house, in the Wang's mansion on the same street, Wang Jixun asked the attendant who came in: "Have you heard about it?"

"I found out that the reason why Xue Xiang and Shen Xiang's sons came to Luoyang was to appreciate peonies. They brought several prostitutes, drinking and swimming all day long, it doesn't look like they came for the master."

Wang Jixun breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the monk on the side: "Look, Guanghui, I said that they are these dandies who have nothing to do all day long and only have sex|prostitution|fun. I didn't provoke them when I was in Bianliang, why? Maybe it was aimed at me?!"

Monk Guanghui said: "It's the poor monk, all the grass and trees are soldiers."

Wang Jixun knew what he was afraid of, and immediately laughed loudly, saying: "Although my brother-in-law is becoming more and more indifferent to me, but for the sake of my dead sister, he will not punish me severely. Everyone knows that he protects me, so I just You won't report on us easily, but you are just a few dudes, and they won't affect us, so what are you afraid of?"

Although he is very dissatisfied with Boss Zhao, Wang Jixun is very clear that as long as Boss Zhao is still alive, his life will not be in danger!

Wang Jixun said again: "Yesterday a lowly maid offended me, and I killed it by mistake. Today I specially asked you to come over and cook."

Guanghui put down his vigilance and nervousness, with a look of anticipation on his face.
