Chapter 154 Conspiracy Instant, Seamless

The two soft sedan chairs successfully arrived at the Degu Tower under the guidance of Hongye. It was not easy for others to enter here, but Miss He and Mr. An from the imperial city were famous. The arrival of the two of them suddenly shocked those face-faced people in the Degu Tower. Everyone moved to hear the wind and came out to welcome them one after another.

The curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and He Ruiping came out of the sedan chair. She looked up and saw someone holding up a paper umbrella in front of her, and An Pingzhi also came out of the sedan chair. He Ruiping hurriedly waved her hand at Hongye, and the two quickly stepped forward and came to An Pingzhi's side.

"Son An, today is the day when the literati of Wuming County gather together. There is probably no other place in this willow meeting of Degu Tower." He Ruiping smiled like a flower and whispered to An Pingzhi.

An Pingzhi raised his head and looked at the German Drum Tower carefully.

This Degu Tower is a tall wooden building with about six floors from the outside. Although there is no trace of dilapidation outside the whole wooden building, this wooden building looks very old. The black and red wood reflects the sunshine, and a long plaque hangs under the eaves on the second floor, with three golden characters, "Degu Tower".

Looking in front of the door of Degu Tower, I don't know when it was full of people coming to greet them.

"Folding willows..." An Pingzhi whispered a sentence. In fact, he has also heard that every time before Enke, there were similar activities to bid farewell students, but he has been growing up in the imperial city and has never seen such a thing. Although seeing these people in front of him made An Pingzhi a little irritable, he calmed down when he thought of seeing something fresh.

He turned his head and said to He Ruiping, "I didn't expect Miss He to be interested in this literati's affairs. It's hard to get this. We might as well go in and have a look.

After saying that, Anping took a step forward.

He Ruiping saw that An Pingzhi seemed to be a little interested in this place and was secretly happy. She glanced around and saw several familiar faces, but the other party did not dare to come forward because of An Pingzhi's presence. Only then did He Ruiping feel relieved and followed Anping into the Degu Tower.

The Degu Tower is very spacious. As soon as An Pingzhi and He Ruiping came in, someone came up and invited the two of them to go upstairs. As he walked up the wooden stairs next to him, An Pingzhi found that each wooden building had two floors of windows, so although the building had six floors from the outside, it actually had only three floors. And each of these three floors looks very open and does not feel dull at all.

There are some tables and chairs on each floor, and there are tea and snacks on each table. People gathered here gather in groups to drink tea and chat. From time to time, they can hear allusions from poetry books or the sound of writing poems. Occasionally, a good sentence can make everyone happy.

He Ruiping is actually not interested in these literati students. He Ruiping probably also recognizes the most well-faced princes in Wuming County. Among them, there are very few who can really be scholars, but most of them are mixed in private schools in the study. Before He Ruiping made a marriage contract with Mr. An, she also paid attention to the best among those people, but since she made a marriage contract with An Ping, He Ruiping did not bother to pay attention to them.

As she walked upstairs, He Ruiping secretly observed An Pingzhi.

Anpingzhi walked very slowly, but it seemed that he did not pay special attention to the students chatting around him. Even if those people's eyes gradually focused on him, An Pingzhi seemed to care completely. He walked so leisurely and slowly, sometimes looking up at the beautifully carved wooden wall on the Drum Tower, and sometimes he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

He Ruiping tried to talk to An Pingzhi several times, but she missed the opportunity at the last minute.

An Pingzhi glanced at He Ruiping with the corner of his eyes. He knew that He Ruiping had been trying to talk to him, but he had nothing to say to her, so he simply pretended not to know and avoided quietly.

When several of them went up to the third floor with the leader, they found that this floor was more magnificent than the decoration in the two floors below. The floor is covered with carpets, and there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Even the tables and chairs placed around them look much more luxurious than those downstairs.

There were also many people gathered on the third floor. They saw someone coming up from the stairs and their eyes were focused. At this time, the leader raised his voice and said, "The chief of the prime minister and Miss He of the county magistrate have arrived."

After saying that, the leader made a request, and then turned around and went down the stairs.

Almost everyone on the third floor gathered at the entrance of the stairs and bowed to An Pingzhi and He Ruiping. Several people quickly stepped forward to greet An Pingzhi and He Ruiping. An Ping recognized them as several officials around He Lijing.

These officials are all from Enke, so they will come to participate in this meeting every year. There is no harm in making more friends with others, and these people also have to think about their official careers.

Officials rarely have a chance to flatten An Pingzhi, so no one wants to say hello and leave. They scrambled to introduce the Degu Tower and the Folding Liuhui for An Pingzhi, and unconsciously separated An Pingzhi and He Ruiping.

He Ruiping was a little angry, but those officials were all under her father's help, and He Ruiping did not dare to be too arrogant in front of them. There was nothing she could do, and He Ruiping had to walk aside and find an empty table and chair to sit down and sulk.

Hongye muttered in a bitter face, "Sure enough, you shouldn't have come here. You have been taken advantage of by those eyesightless guys..."

He Ruiping snorted and didn't say anything. She glanced at the tea snacks on the table next to her and didn't seem to see anything. At this moment, I saw a scholar next to him coming over and arched his hand to He Ruiping with a smile, "Miss He, are you all right? I'm afraid everything here is difficult to see Miss He.

He Ruiping looked up and felt even more angry.

Although the man's sheep's eyes in front of him don't look ugly, they are always a little unpleasant. He Ruiping knew that he was Li Huanzhang, the son of Li Chenglu, the richest pharmaceutical merchant in the city. This guy has been looking for a matchmaker to come to her house many times to propose marriage, but in the end, she was excused by her father for various reasons. Later, after the news of He Ruiping's marriage with Anping spread, Li Huanzhang finally gave birth for a while. But the marriage between He Ruiping and An Pingzhi has been delayed again and again. Li Huanzhang seems to have gained some advantage. When he sees He Ruiping's face, he will come to comfort her hypocritically.

He Ruiping knew that Li Huanzhang was a small man with a small belly, so she never looked at him with her eyes. If it were normal, He Ruiping would not bother to talk nonsense with this person, but in today's situation, He Ruiping turned her eyes and wanted to borrow this Li Huanzhang.

"Sir Li, be all right." He Ruiping smiled and stood up and walked slowly in the direction of Anping.

Li Huanzhang really followed like a dog skin plaster. He smiled and whispered to He Ruiping, "Miss He, the outstanding man is your future son-in-law, right?"

He Ruiping glanced at Li Huanzhang and lowered her voice and said, "Mr. An's condescending to come to Wuming County is also a blessing in Wuming County. Mr. Li, isn't the man who bent down and followed them the father of Mr. Li?

After He Ruiping said this, Li Huanzhang noticed that his father also followed the officials around An Pingzhi, as if he wanted to come forward to say something, but he had never had a chance. That anxious look makes people really uncomfortable.

Li Huanzhang frowned, but immediately smiled, "This is all for Miss He. In the future, Miss He will become the young grandmother of the first assistant prime minister's mansion. We still need to ask you to take more care of us.

He Ruiping sneered and continued to walk quietly.

Li Huanzhang originally planned to embarrass He Ruiping as usual, but he didn't expect to be pulled back by her. Li Huanzhang couldn't hang on his face and felt a little annoyed. He is not the one who gives up so easily. After thinking about it for a moment, Li Huanzhang took a step forward and whispered, "Isn't Mr. An also a learner? It seems that he is interested in this folding willow meeting... Miss He, why don't I accompany you around here to relieve boredom?

As soon as He Ruiping heard Li Huanzhang's words, she became angry. She saw that the distance between herself and An Pingzhi was almost complete, and raised her voice and said to Li Huanzhang, "Mr. Li, if you say such words again, I can only ask your father to come over."

Almost all the people in the Drum Tower spoke softly. As soon as He Ruiping said this, almost everyone heard it.

Li Huanzhang was shocked, hurriedly stepped back two steps, and his face became difficult to look. When Li Chenglu, a big drug dealer who had been following An Pingzhi and them, saw this scene, he immediately knew that his son must have been in trouble. He quickly stepped forward, pulled his son behind him, and then saluted He Ruiping with a smile on his face and said, "Miss He is ignorant, please forgive me."

He Ruiping stood there with a long sigh, then gave a deep bow to Li Chenglu and whispered, "Uncle Li, you and I have been friends for many years, and I shouldn't have said this. But Mr. Li said these words in front of me again and again, and I..."

Speaking of this, He Ruiping's eyes burst into tears. She turned her head and looked at An Ping's eyes as if inadvertently, and then hurriedly took out a sweat towel and pressed it on the corners of her eyes.

According to He Ruiping's plan, An Pingzhi will definitely come to ask why when he sees that she has a dispute with others. And she pretended to be aggrieved first, which can make Anping feel sad, and the distance between the two people will definitely be shortened a lot. When the two are alone, they will definitely mention this matter again. At that time, He Ruiping will say that Li Huanzhang laughed at her because they had a marriage contract but did not get married for a long time. In this way, if it goes well, An Pingzhi will propose to get married immediately...

He Ruiping thought to himself that this plan was simply... seamless!
