Chapter 5 Meet and Say goodbye

Zhou Huaiyi motioned to let Lu Zhong go, and then said, "I have to rush to the northern border city tomorrow. Now let's go back to rest and let the housekeeper Fu take you to Wanxiju, where it's quiet."

The housekeeper didn't sweat coldly.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is guilty!" The housekeeper Fu usually knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly and said, "The princess is now living in Wanxiju! The old slave invited the princess to live in Hexinzhai that day. The princess didn't want to. She chose Wanxiju and has been living there for more than two years.

Zhou Huaiyi paused and said, "Then take care of Cuizhai!"

Huaiwang Mansion is located in the western suburbs of Yanjing City. Originally, it was also because of the hot spring water here that he considered building it. At that time, Zhou Huaiyi personally checked and modified the sketches, named the pavilions and pavilions on the house one by one, and transferred half of the people in the original Luodu Palace here. He thought that he settled down until his death. As a result, it was his first time to come here.

Zhou Huaiyi especially remembers Wanxiju. The land is much higher than other places. Originally, the craftsman wanted to be flattened, but he was very reluctant to give up a hundreds-year-old ginkgo tree, so he specially ordered the craftsman to build it into a slope and thought that he could lie under the ginkgo tree to watch the sunset in the future, so he took the name Wanxiju. .

actually let her take the lead.

"Master, how do you arrange the second Marquis and this guest?" Liu Qingzhou pointed to Lu Zhong.

"The Marquis Cixu lives in the glass courtyard. He will leave by himself when he wakes up," Zhou Huaiyi said, "Please wait for a moment. I have something to ask you."

The people in the room retreated one after another. Lu Zhong picked up a seat with a smile and sat down, poured tea carelessly, and couldn't help admiring: "Good tea! Good tea!"

Zhou Huaiyi said, "Ming people don't say secret words. Lu Daxia's name of 1,000 taels of Lu Zhong has also heard a little about me. This invitation is to do this thousand taels of business. I don't know what Lu Daxia's intention is?

Lu Zhong said leisurely, "Your Majesty is really joking. Your Majesty, you are high and powerful, and your guards are all masters. Why do you look up to Lu Zhong so highly?"

"Lu is the one who is joking. Last night, several people appeared on the mountain. Now my guard and the princess's close servant are injured. Only Lu Xia is not injured and eats and sleeps as usual. How dare I look down on you!"

Lu Zhong looked at Zhou Huaiyi while siing tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty can see it clearly!"

"When you have something to ask, you are most afraid of being entrusted, so you must first understand," Zhou Huaiyi asked, "How about it?"

Lu Zhong guessed seven or eight points in his heart, turned the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "Although the prince is the prince, Lu Zhong can't break Lu Zhong's rules. Let's put it this way, although I have the name of Lu Zhong in 1,000 taels, I don't take over all business. People, life is the most important! What do you think, prince?"

Zhou Huaiyi smiled: "Of course. To put it simply, I want to ask Lu Daxia to investigate the wherefall of the man in black last night, which should not be difficult for Lu Daxia.

Sure enough, let him guess! Lu Zhong felt awe of heart.

"Isn't it good to leave such a big thing to a person you meet for the first time? Is the prince really relieved? Lu Zhong asked with a smile, "Don't tell the truth, Lu Zhong and the princess only met three or four days ago. Last night was the second meeting. Lu Zhong is not a good person!"

"I want people who can do things, not good people who can't do things." Zhou Huaiyi said.

"Do you have to do it?" Lu Zhong grinned, "But everyone who has invited Lu Zhong in Yanjing City knows that Lu Zhong has many conditions, and they are afraid that the prince will be annoyed."

"You might as well talk about it."

"Well, it's simple to say. Lu Zhong only did a thousand taels of business with the prince this time in this life. After this matter, the road faces the sky and goes to each other. The prince's status is noble, and Prince Lu Zhongxin will not care too much about me and other little people!"

Talking to smart people is really clean and neat. Zhou Huaiyi nodded with satisfaction: "It's a deal."

The lotus flowers in the ice and snow are beautiful, but when Lu Zhong went to Xinzhai, he suddenly had a little sympathy for Wei Fuyan.

"Bed, I want to see your princess. Go and ask your prince for instructions."

The servant beside him bowed and replied, "When he came out, the prince ordered that if Master Du wants to see our princess, let me take Master Du there."

Lu Zhong almost couldn't help scolding. He endured or said, "What are you still doing? Let's go!"

Wei Fuyan, Wei Fuyan, you are so pitiful!

Wei Fuyan, Wei Fuyan, I'm even more pitiful!

He was alert from the time King Huai asked him to stay, and he had vaguely guessed it when he asked him to do something. Last night, the mountain people were divided into four groups, Wei Fuyan, the stone man Jiao Bo and Xiao Yueer. Zhou Yuanzhi, the second Marquis who saved his life, counted a separate group, Huai Wang and his six hermits counted a group, and the last group was Lu Zhong. More than a dozen people in black on the mountain suddenly came, and they all made fierce moves with unique skills. Lu Zhong really didn't have to make such a big deal against him, so those people came for the remaining three groups. In this way, even if the king of Huai intends to investigate secretly, it is really difficult to start. If the person does not come to the king of Huai, it is very easy to fall into the truth of "private investigation of the second virtual marquis" or "private investigation of the marriage of the princess of Chen". Let him investigate to avoid involving Huai Wang, and it is not easy to startle the snake. What's more, although King Huai and the Cixuhou seemed to have a lot of hatred, he was the only outsider among the group of people on the mountain yesterday. If the assassination was related to the court, Lu Zhong should not know. King Huai asked Lu Zhong to investigate, which could not only cover people's ears and eyes to avoid many troubles, but also pull him into the water to prevent him from going out and talking nonsense. It's really one stone.

Lu Zhong became more and more angry. He kicked two pots of flowers along the way, and the little man didn't care about it. As a result, Lu Zhong finally couldn't calm down and shouted, "Are you from this house or not? I don't care if you kick your flowers!"

The servant said respectfully, "The prince ordered that Master Lu was shocked yesterday and is in a bad mood today. As long as it is not murder and set fire to Master Lu, please do whatever you want, and I will not stop him."

Lu Zhong was even more angry when he heard this: "Yo, your prince is very considerate to me! What else did you say? Why don't you say it clean at once!"

The servant lowered his head and replied, "The prince also said that he was afraid that Master Lu would be angry and let him leave by himself after taking Master Lu to the princess's Wanxi residence. Master Lu, please, this is Wan Xiju. With that, he bowed and retreated.

Lu Zhong was silent. Leave by yourself, don't say much.

, so as not to cause her trouble.

As soon as the door is opened, there is a slope, and on the slope is a tall ginkgo tree. I didn't expect that someone would really build the house directly! Lu Zhong was speechless and pushed the door and went in. The door of Wanxiju looked spacious, but the courtyard was not big. There were four stone stools on one side of the stone tables in the courtyard, a large clump of dry snow vines on one side of the wall, and a few holly trees, which looked really simple. He was looking around when a girl about the same age as Wei Fuyan hurried into the room with a basin of hot water and was shocked to see him. This girl's appearance is really beautiful, especially with a trace of agility in her steady eyes. Now she is looking at him in the same place with half panic, and she looks a little familiar.

"Isn't this gentleman wrong? This is the place where the princess lives. Please leave quickly.

Is the girl brought by the princess so arrogant? Lu Zhong asked, "Have you never had any guests here? Or do you always talk to guests like this?

The girl thought for a little and said in a low voice, "It's Qinghe who is abrupt. However, our princess has never had an appointment with anyone. If the prince has something to see, she still asks the housekeeper first. At that time, the housekeeper Fu will bring the prince here, and Qinghe will invite him to serve tea. Now let's ask the prince to leave quickly.

Lu Zhong understood that this is the lot of trouble in front of the widow. Wei Fuyan has not seen her husband for three years, and it is no different from the widow. Naturally, his subordinates are afraid of causing trouble.

"So your name is Qinghe! How are your feet? Go in and tell your princess that Lu Zhong is coming. Let's talk about why he is so familiar with it. Last time, because this girl's foot was scratched, Lu Zhong almost died under the knife of the stone man Jiao Bo!

Qinghe heard him talk about his feet and guessed more or less. It's just that Lu Zhong dressed up as an old man last time, so he is not sure now.

"Wait a minute." Qinghe nodded and went in with a basin.

Wei Fuyan has gradually improved. Suyue wrapped her in the thickest cloak and poured two cups of hot tea, which warmed her hands. Jiao Bo was seriously injured. She ordered a young man in the house to hire a doctor for him, and now he is cleaning up the wound. Qinghe went to bring water to her feet.

There were many people who served her when she was in Chenguo, but she was unwilling to bring any of them when she was about to get married. After all, I'm afraid I can't go back in this life. Unexpectedly, these three people desperately begged the emperor to follow her no matter what. She is four years older. She is not smart, a little timid and talkative, but she is the most considerate. Qinghe is as big as her, steady and smart, but often worried. Jiao Bo grew up with her. She was indeed a little dull, but his martial arts skills were strong. If he hadn't been the first to hear the abnormality last night and rushed to help her block a sword, he wouldn't have been hurt like this now.

"Madam..." Qinghe came in.

"There is no need to call so in the future. King Huai has returned home, so let them call him princess!" Wei Fuyan said.

"Yes, princess. There is a son named Lu Zhong asking for a meeting outside the door.

It was not until the afternoon that someone came again. It was Zhou Yuanzhi. Not to mention that Wei Fuyan is now the Huai princess of the State of Li. Even if she is ordinary, she is also his cousin's daughter-in-law. He has no reason to do more. Zhou Yuanzhi did not enter the door, but leaned against the door with difficulty and smiled warmly when she came to her.

"Last time I made an appointment to come back to see you on your birthday, but I encountered these messy things. Here you are, a gift. Zhou Yuanzhi held a piece of white jade in his hand.

"How's your injury?" The relationship between him and Zhou Huaiyi is so stiff that he naturally doesn't want to live in this Huaiwang Mansion. Wei Fuyan understands that he doesn't ask much.

"It's okay. I'll leave when my aunt comes back to see her. I'm afraid it won't be convenient to talk to her in the future, so it's also a farewell. Zhou Yuanzhi stuffed the jade pendant into her hand and said with a smile, "All the words Lin Qianzhuang in Li can be used. I know you don't want to use more of his money, so I prepared this. I always have to find some servants during the Spring Festival. Just put it away as a gadget. Maybe it can be used.

Wei Fuyan held the jade pendant, but he didn't know how to speak in thousands of words.

"Go back, it's windy here." Zhou Yuanzhi said with a smile.

She nodded obediently and turned to walk into the room under his gaze, but felt that the jade was painful. Lu Zhong and Zhou Yuanzhi actually had two people saying goodbye to her in a day.
