Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Thirteen Niang twisted and wound the handkerchief in her hand, seeing Chu Shou come down and sit in front of Lu Xiaonian, her heart sank a bit, she turned around to greet the stage, and the voice of babbling resounded again.

"Everyone continue to listen to the show, continue! Continue!"

She approached with a smile, and said cautiously, "Master Lu, why are you so interested in coming today? Look at so many guys, they scared away all my guests."

Lu Xiaonian raised his eyes and glanced at Thirteen Niang, with an evil smile on his lips, and said, "My young master is mainly looking for someone today."

"Looking for someone? Do you want to collect protection money again?"

Chu Shou folded his arms around his chest, looked up at him, and asked suspiciously.

Lu Xiaonian has never been educated since he was a child, and relying on his family's wealth, he gathered a few younger brothers to find trouble everywhere.

It was precisely because of his rampage that Chu Shou and him got married. At that time, Shang Musi, the seventh son of the Shang family who was closest to Chu Shou at that time, was often harassed by Lu Xiaonian because of conflicts between the family business and the Lu family. After being a rascal, Shang Musi found Chu Shou after reasoning to no avail.

It was the enemies who were so jealous when they met each other, and the two of them, as the list of the most worry-free children in the capital city, also spent a lot of time fighting with each other.

Lu Xiaonian has a bad temper, and Chu Shou can often arouse his anger just by talking, so he has suffered a lot. However, the Lu family focuses on business and has not been involved in officialdom. Apart from the old general in the family, Chu Shou also has another Uncle Zaifu, far away in Youbei, is backed by the thriving Wu tribe, so naturally he suppresses him a little bit everywhere, it can be said that there has been a long-standing grudge.

"Protection fee?" Lu Xiaonian raised his head and laughed loudly as if he had heard a joke from Chen Nian.

He turned his head to look at Chu Shou, and said firmly: "I have heard that the princess has returned to Beijing, and today is very lively, so I came to find the princess to catch up on the old days."

"Thirteen Niang, find a clean place upstairs."

Lu Xiaonian got up, and without waiting for Chu Shou to say anything, he walked upstairs with his long legs. He raised his hand, and the dozen or so people turned around and walked out one after another.

Chu Shou turned his head in confusion, looked at his back, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he cursed: Why did you pretend to be...

Seeing that the man was gone, Su Tiying rushed up to press Chu Shou who was about to get up, frowned and said worriedly: "Hey! Do you really want to go up with him? I feel that he can knock me down with one punch... or Don't go, let's go home."

Ah Shui patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to rest assured, "This Young Master Lu has always been defeated by our young lady, Second Miss Su, don't worry!"

"Yeah, and me!" Sanqian patted her chest, her kung fu was not for nothing.

Su Tiying was dubious, thought for a while and said: "That's fine, how about it, if he dares to do something to you, throw a cup as a sign, and the rest of us will rush in."

Isn't that how it's played on TV...

Chu Shou looked at the anxious Su Tiying with a smile on her face, she just had never seen such a person, she was so stupid.

Everyone always took it for granted that as the princess, she couldn't do anything wrong.

On weekdays, she has offended many people, but most of them have hindered the forces behind her. On the surface, she is very close, but behind her back, she doesn't know what to criticize.

This place in Kyoto is big or small. When Chu Shou first came here, she was as naive as Su Tiying. What she saw in her eyes was good, and bad was bad. She didn't mind, but let someone eat her A lot of hardships, if she can wake up earlier, now he will be taken care of by his parents, protected by his elder brother, maybe he can have a happy marriage, have many children, and accumulate good deeds all his life. Playing in this world is enough. Continue to be the gods described by the ancestors...

Even if it passed by in passing, the moment when the two of them never met was much happier than living in pain all day long.

Chu Shou smiled, with curved eyebrows, and said brightly: "This princess is not that weak, you were saved by this princess."

"It's nothing, I've left Qingfeng to guard it. Although Lu Xiaonian is a bit stubborn, he shouldn't intentionally cause trouble in public."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yike glanced at the two women standing in front of him, and continued: "The limelight is over, and it's time to get down to business."

Song Yanqing sat behind the screen, his figure was hazy, and after a while, he tilted his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Give tea to the two young ladies."

His voice was cold, and there was no sadness or happiness.

Two guards walked out from the dark of the room, both with knives on their waists, they poured tea on one side and the other on the right side, and asked them to sit down, one was Gao Zhishui and the other was Xue Ying.

Gao Zhishui turned her head, and there were two hidden guards guarding the door. She squeezed her teacup tightly and said with a movement of her throat, "My lords, I... Both father and brother are officials in the court, although they are not counted..."

Before the words finished, there was a chuckle from behind the screen, Song Yanqing said lightly: "If you want to mention the two father and brother, I am afraid that it is not the two young ladies who are talking to me at this time."

With a cold face, Shen Yi took out a piece of letter paper and invitation card, stepped forward and put it on the table, "Ms. Gao doesn't want to admit it, does she?"

It was Gao Zhishui who handed the letter and invitation to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. She was able to show off the limelight today. First, she wanted to thank the earrings she picked up behind Uncle Guo's carriage when she left the palace that night. If it wasn't for the earrings, she would have thought If you don't wear today's dress, you won't overwhelm all the ladies.

And the most important thing is that she was able to have a banquet with the censor, who had just arrived in Kyoto, and she was also grateful for this earring.

Gao Zhishui knew very well that this earring was unintentionally dropped by the female assassin when she escaped from the palace at the Qianqiu Banquet that day. The figure flashing across the weeds was the assassin. Whether the assassin caught it or not had nothing to do with her. It is to be able to show off at the subsequent gatherings.

Everyone said that it was dangerous to get involved in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but if you want this glory, what is the danger?So she delivered a letter and sent the news of the female assassin to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the condition was that Song Yanqing would go to Yaji together with him.

She hadn't seen the Metropolitan Procuratorate before she arrived at Yichun Residence, the carriage stopped, and Song Yanqing, dressed in a red dress and gold belt, was standing in the night with Shen Yike's hands behind his hands, but she was stupefied.

Left and right are just a deal, at least she thought so when she followed Song and Shen into this room.

"The play hasn't finished yet, Miss Gao, don't rush to leave."

Song Yanqing got up as he spoke, and walked out slowly from behind the screen, his eyes were heavy, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, the red rope wooden pillar hanging from his waist was shaking with his robes, the two of them lowered their eyes, not daring to look again.

"Master Song, what do you mean?" Xue Ying opened her big eyes and looked around. She thought that Gao Zhishui really invited Mr. Xiao Song to the Yaji, but now it seems that this is not the case, "Then Water? This is..."

Song Yan tilted his head, with a smile in his eyes, and his eyes moved to the tassel earrings on Gao Zhishui's ears.

Gao Zhishui noticed his gaze, and his eyes flickered, and there was a smile in those eyes, but it sent a chill down the back of the person.

"Don't worry, Ms. Xue, it's just a deal between Ms. Gao and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

He stepped forward, raised his arm and stretched out his hand, and stroked her ear with his slender fingers, suddenly withdrew his strength, the earring fell off, and lay safely in his palm.

Gao Zhishui exclaimed in pain, and quickly covered her right ear, blood oozing from her fingers, she turned around anxiously, and hurriedly asked Xue Ying to check, "My ears... quickly look at my ears .”

The pain was as if her ears had been torn, and the thing she was most proud of in her life was her body, which had been carefully cared for every inch. If her earlobes were really torn, it would be far more unacceptable than death.

Xue Ying quite understood what she was thinking, and immediately checked and said: "No problem, nothing, just a little blood seeping."

Gao Zhishui raised her head angrily, tears of pain were about to flow, she bit her lip with tears in her eyes and said, "Master Song has already got this earring, is the deal over?"

Song Yanqing pinched the earring, lifted it up to his eyes, and took advantage of the candlelight and moonlight to look at it carefully. The inner body was transparent without any impurities, and there were still bloodstains on it. Hearing what Gao Zhishui said, he raised his eyebrows. With a smile on his lips, he turned around and paced back and forth, "The thing I hate the most in my life is being threatened by others. This thing--it's endless."

He turned around, threw the earrings to Shen Yike, folded his arms around his chest, walked slowly to sit behind the screen, sipped tea, and left two words: "Let's have a trial."

At that time, Chu Shou was also sitting squarely on her side. She held up her skirt, stared at Lu Xiaonian across the way, and slid to the side by the window.

The Yichun residence was still very lively, the peddlers were yelling tirelessly, a row of lanterns was set up on the shore, men and women gathered there, playing lantern riddles, Lu Xiaonian looked at the night scene outside, and saw the magic.

"Lu dog thief?" Chu Shou called his name, raised his foot and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Xiaonian propped his forearm on the table, his big hand was hanging down weakly, he turned his eyes back, and took out a small book from his bosom, with three large characters printed on it - "Strange Records".

He pushed the book in front of Chu Shou, and said lightly: "Recently, I plan to open a bookstore to include your book. If you authorize the book to be published, I will print it and sell it for money. You are six and four, I don't know the county. What's your idea?"

Chu Shouan leaned back steadily, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, raised his hand to pick up the book, flipped through the book suspiciously, and said, "It's easy to discuss..."

Lu Xiaonian drank a cup of tea, and continued: "There are a lot of pirated books on the market, and I can take them back for you one by one. How sincere is that?"

"I seven you three, this is sincerity, the princess only votes for your family, how about it?" Chu Shou smiled, and pushed the book back.

Lu Xiaonian lowered his eyes and smiled, he had already guessed that she would bargain, and it was expected that it was true, without any hesitation, he nodded and said: "Yes, deal."

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Chu Shou was a little stunned, and always felt that he had lost a lot of money...

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaonian took out another folded piece of paper and handed it to Chu Shou, with a serious expression on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "I have something to do with you today."

"Oh?" Chu Shou responded, opened the paper, glanced at it briefly, his eyes darkened, stood up, held the dancing candle with one hand, and handed the paper into the fire with the other.

The candle flame instantly ignited the paper, and the yellow paper turned into ashes and fell one by one under the spread of the flying fire.

Seeing that the fire was about to reach her fingertips, Lu Xiaonian raised his arm and stretched out his hand to catch it. He twisted his fingers together and put the paper into the teacup. After a while, the fire went out, leaving only ashes.

Chu Shou sat down with the same dignified expression, and then she opened her mouth slowly, and asked in a deep voice: "There are three departments in the capital, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You can vote for it. Why do you come to me?"

Lu Xiaonian smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "I only know that my elder brother bribed high-ranking officials, smuggled frontier jade, pocketed his own pockets, and as for which high-level executives colluded with, and which high-level officials were blessed by them, I don't know anything about it. Don’t you ask for trouble if you send the wrong message? I thought about it and planned to go to Youzhou to find you, but you came back by yourself.”

Chu Shou reached out and tapped on the table, and asked, "What are you? Killing relatives with righteousness?"

Lu Xiaonian waved his hand and said with emotion: "No, I'm not that noble. They say it's easy to conquer the country, but hard to defend it. Now my father is gradually letting go of the business, and most of it is in the hands of my elder brother. Although I have no ambitions, I still have to If you want to survive, you don’t have to lend money to collect money every day, you’re so annoying, you should fight for it..."

"Recently there has been a lot of noise about the Qingzhou Copper Mine, don't you know?"

"Copper mine?"

"Someone privately mined copper mines in Qingzhou, and traveled a long distance to the border between Mingqi and Youyan. It was regarded as smuggling, but was stopped by the pass. Then they found Qingzhou step by step. I heard that it was the bandits from Linglong Village in Qingzhou. ghost."

"Mountain bandit?"

Lu Xiaonian raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, raised his head and drank it, and continued: "Yes, it was the bandits. Your Majesty was assassinated, and it was the assassins sent by the northern border. You Yan, a small country, is also ready to join the bandits. Mining copper ore and refining it into weapons is very ambitious."

Then he reminded again: "Recently, I saw you getting close to the prince of Xingwang, and I specially gave you a piece of advice. He bears the title of prince, but he is also the proton of You Yan. The ghost knows that this person who secretly mines copper mines Is it something to do with him..."

After Lu Xiaonian finished speaking, he held his teacup and looked out of the window. The night was a bit thick, the lights were dim, and songs and laughter floated in along the window pavilion, but he was dazed looking at it.

After hearing this long series of words, Chu Shou also silently digested it in his heart, looked out of the window, saw the sparkling lights reflected on the lake, and looked lost.

After a cup of tea, Lu Xiaonian turned his head and looked at the thinking person across the way, frowning slightly, eyelashes drooping straight in front of his eyes, pursing his lips slightly, his brown eyes fixedly looking into the distance At this point, he thought of the situation where he fought with Chu Shou in the past but was repeatedly stabbed in the back, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Is there really someone who hasn't changed for five years?
Quite curiously asked: "What good plan did the princess come up with?"

Chu Shou was still looking out of the window in a daze, shook his head in a dumb way, and said, "No, I can't think of it now."

After she finished speaking, she came back to her senses, sighed deeply, lay down heavily on the table, and said vaguely: "There is a northern border and You Yan, internal troubles and external troubles, I might as well think of a way to urge Zhao Wuji Hurry up and treat His Majesty..."

"However, I have a small favor for you to help." Chu Shou said, his eyes lit up.
As the saying goes, life is full of helplessness.There are so many bad things, how can she take care of each one of them?
She is now in the capital, neither in the north nor in the edge, and her two hands are no longer than the length of a table, and the matter in front of her has not been resolved, so how can she have the time to extend her hands outside the capital?
It doesn't make sense...
