Chapter 145 Drunken Building

After entering May, the curtains on the Pearl Mirror Hall were replaced with cool bamboo curtains. There was still a string of empty bamboo hanging under the window. The wind blew from the Taiye Pool. The bamboo joints hit each other, and the sound was crisp and refreshing. There was a fragrance of forest bamboo in the hall, and there was no need to burn incense. Lu Huan wore a bean green round-neck crepe robe, wore a soft scarf, and lifted his robe. Step into the hall, I suddenly felt a cool breeze, which washed away the heat outside the hall.

Turning through the four-folded peony embedded mica screen, a low couch with red sandalwood carved auspicious clouds and flying cranes was set up on the face. There is a three-fold embroidered screen behind the couch, which is the scene of hibiscus blooming on the pool in season.

Yuanxiu wore an apricot red background with gold-painted embroidered hibiscus flowers, and a pink silver mud lotus silk skirt below, and a thin gauze shirt as thin as cicada wings. The gauze shirt was embroidered with nail-sized plum red flowers, autumn ribbons on his waist, with a jade hook, a pair of buns on his head, and a pair of green gold. Butterfly beads, with clusters of flowers in the center of the eyebrows, without fat powder on the face, but with the ted color of the new sleeping square and natural crimson.

Two little maids held a palace fan made of peacock tail feathers, one left and one right, and they were fanning for her. The cool breeze passed by, and the colored gauze shirts were unbearable. When they danced with the wind, they looked more and more like fat, and their skin was better than snow.

Lu Fu didn't dare to look at it much and hurriedly bowed: "See you!"

"Get up." Yuan Xiu said lazily and ordered to pick green, "Move the crescent stool."

Lu Fu thanked Enfang and sat down. A little maid presented a secret apricot-shaped gold porcelain bowl. The bowl was filled with a touch of black iron, dark and dark waves, but there was a sweet taste, but a cup of black plum drink.

"Didn't Lu Jialing follow his elder sister to Fengyi?" Yuanxiu received a report from the bodyguard of the palace gate today, saying that he was very surprised when the order of Princess Pingjin's mansion asked for a meeting. Lu Juan is a member of Pingjin's mother family, and he is also one of the crews that Lu Fei personally chose for her when Pingjin descended to build the mansion. Over the years, he has made a point for Pingjin, and there has never been no omission, that is, Zheng Shu and Wei Tan were capable of him. He was full of praise. Because of the marriage of Zheng Man'er and Lu's enemy, Yuan Xiu thought that Pingjin's visit to Fengyi to avoid the limelight was bound to take Lu Fu to communicate with the Lu family, but he didn't expect Lu Fu to be left in Chang'an.

She couldn't help wondering if Lu Zhen's wife had said something to Pingjin, which made Pingjin have a quarrel with her foreign ancestors, so she even left Lu Wei.

However, Lu Fu put down Wu Meiyin and explained, "In your words, the subordinate should have gone to Fengyi to serve his wife, but the wife planned to take the princess to live in Fengyi, so she left the subordinate to fight in Chang'an, so she did not follow the waitress."

"Oh, I don't know why you came here today?" Yuanxiu himself took a sip of black plum drink and asked curiously.

"Well, on the 19th of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, is the birthday of Princess Jiacheng. The wife and the princess are not in Chang'an, and the emperor's son-in-law does not know the preferences of Princess Jiacheng. The subordinate has drawn up a gift list, but he doesn't know whether it is in line with the wishes of Princess Jiacheng, so he dares to ask your lord to ask him to give advice." Lu Lian said, took out a brocade gift list from his sleeve and presented it with respectful hands.

Yuan Xiu thought for a little and said with a smile, "Sixth sister used to celebrate her birthday. Didn't you draw up the gift list?"

"I heard that the saint allowed Princess Jiacheng to see the ceremony of the Lord and the ji can go to Wuchen to see as the female crown." Lu Lian quickly gave a reason. Yuan Xiu smiled disbelief and said to Cai Lan, "Take it here and have a look."

As the eldest daughter of Emperor Xianzong, although Pingjin is now demoted, the industry has always been rich. After such a fall, he became more and more thinking about pandering to the palace. Yuanxiu knew that Lu Lian's intention was not to Princess Jiacheng, but to convey his attitude to Princess Fengchun Pingjin's Mansion, so the list was just right. It not only attaches great importance to the birthday of the upcoming princess Jiacheng, which is more important than in previous years, but also pays attention to the fact that it has not overshadowed Yuanxiu, the favorite princess of Fengchun now.

She couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did Lu Jialing come to me to help you make an idea? But I have to ask me to learn from you."

"Your master is joking, how dare you?" Lu Juan said respectfully.

Yuanxiu saw it all the time and finally saw that Lu Fu deliberately left a fault for her. After reading it, she pinched her nails on that one and ordered Cai Lan to send it back: "This picture of immortality is certainly the sixth sister's favorite, but this is the sixth sister's birthday, and the sixth brother also asked for an order to come back. It's almost tomorrow. It's time to arrive. Sixth brother doesn't like Sister Six to be a monk very much. Let's remove it and change another one, lest Brother Six will be unhappy when he sees it.

Lu Huan immediately showed gratitude. Yuan Xiu felt quite bored and accepted a string of glazed beads presented by him as a thank-you gift. However, he saw that Lu Huan was still hesitant and refused to leave. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows and surprised: "What else do you have anything?"

"..." Lu Yu showed his eyes. Yuan Xiu frowned and ordered him to retreat except for picking blue and green. Then he said, "Your master must have known Ren Qiu's case, who is now talking about the murderer, right?"

Yuan Xiu suddenly remembered that she met Wei Tan at the Pingjin Mansion, which was still the eldest princess. She did not answer directly, but said quietly, "The son-in-law immediately replied that she seemed to be making friends with the Rou Niang of the drunken Building in Pingkangfang. Did she also have a friend in the Mishen Pavilion?"

"Your son-in-law, it is true that the emperor's son-in-law asked the subordinate to come to find your lord, but it is not for the sake of the mysterious pavilion, but..." Lu Huan hesitated for a moment before whispering, "But the emperor's son-in-law also happened to meet friends in the workshop that day. You don't know that although the mysterious pavilion and the drunken building are very close, the gardens of the two families are narrow apart. , but it has always been not harmonious, so in addition to the leaders fighting, the servants are also eager to find each other's wrong. If they can make the other party bad, they will be rewarded..."

When he said this, Yuanxiu was surprised and said, "Is it possible that the person who disappeared in Chang'an County was sent by Drunken Building?"

Ren Qiu's case looked simple, but there were doubts everywhere. On that day, Meng Guangyi fought with the two princesses in the Zichen Hall. In the end, Fengchun was forced by him to agree to hand Ren Qiuxian to guard him, and no one was allowed to visit him. At the same time, Meng Guangyi also agreed to what Princess Changyang said and guaranteed that Ren Qiu had no evidence. Princess Changyang was very concerned about this case. Because the king of Qi was not in Chang'an, if it hadn't been for her wedding, she would be really busy. She couldn't wait for men's clothing to go to the hall to listen in person - this case should be sorted out, and the first doubt is naturally why Ren Qiu killed Ying Niang, because every time he went to the Ying Niang's yard every time he went to the Mysterious Pavilion, he served Ying Niang. People were sent away from afar, and when they went there, it was the morning with the fewest guests in the pavilion. Even the mysterious pavilion did not find a bloody case. The Chang'an County government office actually got the situation first, which involved another case - that is, the person who had previously went to Chang'an County government office to beat drums and drums disappeared after being arrested by Ren Qiu!

Meng Guangyi got Fengchun's identity as well as Ren Qiu. First, he first investigated the case and asked from the Chang'an County government office that the drummer was a Chang'an accent. His appearance was ordinary. Now he is thoroughly investigating the whereabouts of this person all over the city. Unfortunately, two days have passed, and there has been no news so far. Yuanxiu was in the palace, but she was also concerned about this case. At this moment, she couldn't help but be surprised and happy to hear Lu Fen's words. Even Wei Tan was too lazy to care about the brothel.

Lu Huan shook his head when he saw this: "Your son-in-law did not see that person, but when the people of the government office in Chang'an County surrounded the Fanshen Pavilion, there was a little man next to him. It happened that it was his turn to present melons and fruits to his son-in-law. It was also a joke, which was also a matter of gloating - the son-in-law and others heard it. , they all went to the top floor of the drunken building and looked at it. The Yingniang lived in a low place, so it was clear, but other people were attracted by the people in the government office to rush to Yingniang's yard. The son-in-law looked at it a few times and felt bored. When he planned to leave first, he happened to see a man at that time... The pavilion and the drunken building have jumped over recently! I don't know that you have never been to such a dirty place. Although the two families are not harmonious, the garden is very close. The narrowest place between them is only three feet away. It is difficult for fatter people to squeeze in. The county government office only blocks the back door. After all, the manpower is limited and no one notices it!"

Yuan Xiu frowned and said, "So the son-in-law can see what that man looks like?"

"Too far away, the man jumped off the courtyard wall of the drunken building and was covered by flowers and trees, but the son-in-law did not know it." Lu Huan said regretfully, "It's just that the man is also very familiar with Zui Building - just because the courtyard wall he jumped off is near the residence of Zui Lou Li Niang. This Li Niang is extremely tall and has always been willing to see people. The mother of Zui Lou also deliberately condoned her. Zi, who specializes in serving this tune... Therefore, if it is not a regular customer in the building near Li Niang, he must be questioned when going in and out. The emperor's son-in-law later deliberately asked people, and they all said that he had never seen any new faces.

"Did that man come out of Ying Niang's yard?" Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and asked again.

Lu Wei continued to shake his head: "When the son-in-law saw him, he was jumping over the wall. As for where this man came from, he didn't know."

Yuan Xiu thought for a moment and nodded slightly to him, "I will quietly tell my fifth brother about this matter and ask my son-in-law not to talk about this matter!"

"The lower official will definitely tell the son-in-law, thank you for your guidance!" Lu Huan breathed a sigh of relief. As the family order of the princess's mansion, he was looking forward to the best of Princess Pingjin and her son-in-law. This time, Wei Tan was in front of the prostitute. How could he know that he happened to bump into this matter? Meng Guangyi's ability was famous in Chang'an. When Wei Tan went to the drunken building that day, he didn't expect to hide his deeds. He was afraid of Ren Qiuzhi. The case was big, and he was also dragged in. Fortunately, he did not beg for this in vain and could provide some clues. Therefore, today, Lu Huan made an excuse to ask Princess Yuanxiu whether the gift given to Princess Jiacheng was suitable to enter the palace.

After Lu Fu left, Yuan Xiu said to Cai Lv, "Go and invite the aunt."

Xue has always had the disease of summer stagnation. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Wenhua ordered Geng Jingzhai to take care of her for several months, but she just prescribed more calming soup. Therefore, if she still lived in Daming Palace when the summer came, Xue would rather drink more soup and sleep, otherwise she would be depressed and dizzy. She couldn't do anything. It's uncomfortable. Therefore, at the beginning, Fengchun deliberately asked Meng Guangyi to teach Yuan Xiu to ride and shoot, which was not all false - after entering the summer, Xue himself was insurable, but he could not continue to guide Yuanxiu.

After being woken up, Cai Lan picked up the cheese with crushed ice again. Xue drank two bowls in one breath. Yuan Xiu ordered to add an ice basin, which reluctantly raised some spirits. Yuan Xiu saw that her face was still pale and couldn't help asking, "Is auntie so uncomfortable when she got up? Did you ask Geng Jingzhai to come and have a look and try another recipe?

"Those prescriptions are all the same... It's good to fall asleep." Xue Shi said weakly, "What's the matter with Jiu Niang waking me up?"

"Just now, Lu Fu, the family order in the elder sister's mansion, came over..." Yuan Xiu briefly explained the situation and frowned, "Madam, do you think what he said is true or false?"

"Wei Kuanzhi?" Xue Shi thought for a moment and asked, "He was not treated by Golang. Now even Pingjin has torn his face with him, took Chengyi and the child fairy slave to Fengyi, and left his son-in-law in Chang'an!" Even if he can hug left and right in the place of the hook fence, doesn't any of Chang'an secretly laugh at his cowardly? Even now that Wei is in power, he can pretend to stay as if nothing had happened. Otherwise, he may not be able to stand in Chang'an City... Even so, what else does he have except a son-in-law title?

Yuan Xiu said, "Does the aunt mean that what the son-in-law said is true?"

"Think about it this way: Wei Kuanzhi made Lu Huan say this, he is nothing more than afraid that Meng Guangyi will thoroughly investigate the case and involve the drunken building next to him - didn't Lu Huan say that the drunken building and the mysterious pavilion are close and not harmonious? So Ren Qiu had an accident in the Mishen Pavilion. How would Meng Guangyi doubt whether it was related to the drunken building? Besides, you have also seen Qiu Shi Niang. Even if Meng Guangyi does not doubt it, she will drag the drunken silk building into the water, so as not to ask the mysterious pavilion to bear this matter alone. Xue calmed down and said, "Besides, Wei Kuanzhi has nothing but a title of son-in-law. After listening to Lu Yu's words, you will definitely think about what he wants to do, right? But you also have to think about it the other way around. He has nothing but a son-in-law title. Princess Pingjin has divorced again. If he marries again, I'm afraid Golang won't allow it! So even if Wei Kuanzhi is found by Meng Guangyi, it is nothing more than a disgrace!"

Yuan Xiu's eyes lit up: "He made Lu Huan come to report this matter in order to get drunk!"

Xue Shi sneered: "Wei Kuanzhi was left in Chang'an by Princess Pingjin's mother and daughter, and his face was swept away! At this time, if it is revealed that Jing Zhaoyin was found to be staying in the brothel when investigating the case, he could save some face. Even if he saw that scene, why didn't he say it openly? It not only implied that everyone was not afraid of and care about Princess Pingjin, but also could sell a good one to the mother and son of the king of Qi. He was not a fool! I think he was fascinated by the person in the drunken building. This is turning around to plead for the drunken building!"

"So, what he said may not have seen the man's face?" Yuan Xiu muttered.

"A group of people climbed high to watch the good play of the Mysterious Pavilion. Why was Wei Kuanzhi not afraid of being seen at that time?" Xue Shi smiled faintly, "And this man is a good horse fighting dog. In terms of his eyesight, why is there so many people that he has to follow the woman in the drunken building, but he sees it alone? I'm afraid I found something wrong in the drunken building and wanted to ask him to plead, so I put the credit on him, right?"

"The meaning of Zuiwanlou is very clear, which is to test the attitude in the palace through Wei Kuanzhi. From this point of view, that person's identity is extraordinary!" Xue Shi thought about it, raised his finger and rubbed his forehead, and complained, "Why is there something wrong at this time? I really don't have the energy to think too much. If you can't figure out anything else, ask Goro when he is free!"
