Chapter 58 Cunning and boundless slick
Chapter 58 cunning and endlessly
Leng Xuanrong carefully entered the dyeing dust study and first found the child who served Mr. Dou. After the child reported, she followed the child to Mr. Dou's study.
Since the prince lived in the study, the students who originally studied here have been temporarily on vacation and were sent home by Mr. Dou. Without students, Mr. Dou seems to be much more leisurely. He is also very happy. In addition to eating, drinking and chatting with Prince Du Yilin every day, he spends the rest of his time reading and painting.
When Leng Xuanrong entered the study, Mr. Dou was happily looking at a painting on the table.
Leng Xuanrong first saluted with Mr. Dou, and then walked over to see the ink on the table.
In the painting is a secluded mountain forest, which is full of fog, and you can faintly see a few ghostly shadows. The whole picture looks very elegant, but it is also a little gloomy.
"Miss Xuanrong, what do you think of this painting?" Mr. Dou asked Leng Xuanrong with great interest.
Leng Xuanrong thought for a moment, suddenly covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Did Mr. Dou read the "Qigu Zong You Volume" again?"
As soon as Mr. Dou heard Leng Xuanrong's words, he immediately cast a look of approval, and then turned out the yellowed ancient book from under the rice paper pile next to him. He turned over two pages with a pitiful face and muttered, "Although everything written in this book is strange, I don't know why, I always feel that what is said in this book is true."
"There are all kinds of strange things in the world..." Leng Xuanrong looked at the paintings on the table and said thoughtfully, "There may be evil spirits, ghosts and monsters, but they rarely appear in front of people... Reincarnation, Yin Road and Yang world, there should also be, but the wise do not say anything, and those who know don't say..."
"Those who know don't say anything, and those who know don't say anything..." Mr. Dou carefully tasted this sentence and nodded with a light smile. "What you said is reasonable, even if there is really what is said in this book, it is unintentional to say it. It's better to let it hide in the mountains and forests and be more comfortable."
After saying this, both of them looked at the picture and didn't talk for a long time.
I don't know how long it took. Mr. Dou suddenly came to his senses. He patted his forehead and said with some regret, "I'm rude and rude, I'm really... Xuanrong, please sit down quickly... I'm afraid this tea is also cold. I'll ask the child to send a new one..."
Leng Xuanrong was actually thinking about her own affairs just now. When she heard Mr. Dou's words, she remembered her purpose of coming here. Seeing that Mr. Dou was in a hurry, Leng Xuanrong hurriedly stopped and said, "Mr. Dou, don't worry. I came here to ask you for advice."
Mr. Dou was stunned when he heard the words, and then insisted on asking Leng Xuanrong to sit down. He asked the child to change the tea, which was quite comfortable.
"What's the matter with Xuanrong girl?" Mr. Dou asked.
Leng Xuanrong took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and whispered, "I heard that Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, made a celebration to welcome the king. I don't know the prince..."
Before she finished her words, Mr. Dou suddenly showed surprise. Leng Xuanrong hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why is Mr. Dou so surprised?"
Mr. Dou put down the teacup and hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Miss Xuanrong, did Mr. Liang come to see you?"
As soon as Leng Xuanrong heard his question, he immediately understood that Mr. Dou and the prince must have discussed this matter. Maybe they thought that Mr. Liang would use such a roundabout strategy. Leng Xuanrong did not hide it and smiled, "Mr. Dou is really smart. Before I came here, Mr. Liang did go to my house. But he repeatedly told me not to say it in front of you... I didn't expect it to be guessed by Mr. Dou first..."
Mr. Dou shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I knew he would try his best not to show up in person."
Leng Xuanrong also said with a smile, "Originally, Mr. Liang gave me a perfect solution, but after thinking about it, I still felt that I shouldn't hide something from my husband. I'm afraid it will misunderstand..."
As soon as Mr. Dou heard this, he became curious and hurriedly asked, "What did he do for you?"
Leng Xuanrong roughly repeated what she and Mr. Liang said in the morning, and Mr. Dou laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Cunning! This guy is so cunning! Hahaha..." Mr. Dou said with a smile, "But it's hard for him to think so well... and it's good for him to think so well!"
After saying that, Mr. Dou asked Leng Xuanrong to be here later. He went out for about a ray of incense. The child came back and invited Leng Xuanrong to the front hall to see the prince.
Leng Xuanrong followed the child to the front hall and saw Mr. Dou and the prince Du Yilin sitting there talking and laughing.
Du Yilin saw Leng Xuanrong coming and waved her over, "Miss Leng, you let me lose my bet."
Leng Xuanrong was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She carefully sat next to Mr. Dou and listened to what the two of them said.
Mr. Dou smiled proudly and said to Du Yilin, "Your Majesty, you can't blame Miss Xuanrong. If you blame it, you don't take care of things well. I didn't expect Mr. Liang San to have such a move."
Du Yilin curled his lips and said, "He's just playing tricks. Didn't he expose himself in the end? This is called outweigh the loss.
"Anyway, my lord, you have lost this gamble. If you are willing to lose the bet, don't admit it." Mr. Dou said this and became more and more proud. If the whole country wants to say that it can win something from this king of Xiaohan, I'm afraid there will be no second one without him, Dou Haowei.
Du Yilin waved his hand and pretended not to care. In fact, he sighed how many "pity" there were in his heart.
The bet between the two did not explain to Leng Xuanrong. Du Yilin asked a little about the matter between Leng Xuanrong and Mr. Liang, and then said to Leng Xuanrong with a smile, "Zeng Yanliang was sent by me to Fengquanling. No one will really go to see the bustle tomorrow. Why don't you just follow what Liang San said and ask Haowei what he plans to do?
After saying this, Du Yilin looked at Dou Haowei in the play.
Leng Xuanrong knew that Du Yilin must have said it. She turned her head and looked at Dou Haowei.
The two's eyes turned around, which made Dou Haowei suddenly feel a little embarrassed. He stared at Du Yilin, then turned his head to look at Leng Xuanrong and said awkwardly, "If Miss Xuanrong doesn't mind... How about we go together tomorrow?"
As soon as Mr. Dou's words came out, Leng Xuanrong really didn't have time to think, so she had to respond first.
As for Mr. Liang, Du Yilin told Leng Xuanrong that she didn't need to go to the appointment again. He took out a fold from the sleeve and handed it to Mr. Dou. After Mr. Dou saw it, he showed it to Leng Xuanrong.
Leng Xuanrong took over the fold and found that this was an official fold used by the county government. After unfolding, she saw that the meaning written above roughly means that the people of Nayan County welcomed the king and celebrated for three days, and the rest were some high-sounding words. At the end, Zhezi wrote that the people of Nayan County respectfully invited Wang to the main venue of the celebration, that is, the county government. Although the words are pleasant, in fact, the slightly shameful people here want to meet Wang Jiaqian.
Leng Xuanrong is not very clear about the official customs when dealing with these things. Presumably, his father Leng Chengqi will understand better here. Leng Xuanrong respectfully returned the folded son to Mr. Dou, and then asked Du Yilin, "The prince asked me not to go to the appointment, so have you decided to visit the county government office in person?"
Du Yilin smiled and called a personal guard in. "Go and tell the county magistrate Liang Qiurong that I am very interested in the celebration he held and let him do it well. I am waiting to see the bustle in Ganyan County."
After the personal guard took the order, Du Yilin said to Leng Xuanrong, "After learning the news, Liang San must know that he had been exposed. So even if you go to the appointment, he may not appear. Speaking of this, Du Yilin said to Mr. Dou, "Wu Wei, what we bet on today is who wins and who wins is not certain."
Mr. Dou's eyes stared at the boss, but he didn't expect Du Yilin to have such a shot back!
He broke Mr. Liang's little trick like this, and according to Mr. Liang's character, he had to come!
"Play tricks!" Mr. Dou didn't care about Leng Xuanrong sitting next to him. He frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You are remedying afterwards, not in the bet!" This is cheating!"
Du Yilin stood up and waved a folding fan and walked out leisurely. As he walked, he said, "That bet did not say that it could not be remedied afterwards. Haowei, I'm willing to bet and lose.
After saying that, he walked out laughing loudly.
Only Leng Xuanrong and Mr. Dou were sitting at the table in the room. Leng Xuanrong hesitated for a long time and finally did not ask. The bet between these two people does not seem to be important... Or, Leng Xuanrong vaguely feels that the bet between these two people is not something she should ask...
Seeing that there was nothing else, Leng Xuanrong got up and said goodbye.
Mr. Dou, who thought he had won, was really uncertain. He tried his best to hide his uneasiness and arranged a soft sedan to send Leng Xuanrong back.
Leng Xuanrong was sitting in the sedan chair and still thinking about it. I don't know what they gambled on. Why did he feel that Mr. Dou has never been so flustered?
However, in the dead of night, Leng Xuanrong lay on the bed and remembered what happened today. She couldn't help sighing.
The prince is the prince. Whether in the previous life or this life, he can't beat him at all.
What the prince said today is still watertight. He is like a spectator standing in the distance and has never revealed his thoughts at all. Even the message he sent to the county magistrate Liang Qiurong today is ambiguous. He only said that he was waiting to watch the bustle, but he didn't say that he was really going to the county government to participate in any celebration. I don't know what Liang Qiurong and Mr. Liang San are planning, but Leng Xuanrong feels an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Du Yilin, he neither left nor did anything. So far, the only thing he has done is to send Zeng Yanliang and others to Fengquanling to search the mountains. But no matter who sees it, it will feel meaningless.
What on earth is he brewing?
It's really completely confusing.
Thinking of this, Leng Xuanrong turned over and took the silver tie that had just been taken off from the edge of the bed. She stroked the silver pin and thought to herself, Brother Yan Liang... I don't know if you have found anything now...
