Lu Lingxi didn't think it was too much of a loss to write a story. If he didn't say it, he liked to read it, not to mention that it was written by Tang Fan, so there was nothing wrong with it.
It's just that the news was too shocking, so he didn't react for a long time, and he always felt that it was not real. He couldn't help but glanced at the top page of the manuscript several times, and then said with a slightly trembling and excited voice: "Tang Brother, I also bought this book, and I heard it in the restaurant at first! I didn't expect that Mr. Sanqing is you, you are Mr. Sanqing!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that he was a little incoherent, and he couldn't help blushing a little, and quickly covered up his mistake: "Cough, I just wanted to say, you wrote very well!"
Tang Fan laughed, Lu Lingxi's praise was sincere, anyone could see it, but...
"In the eyes of many people, these things can't be considered elegant after all. As a courtier, it's easier to teach someone to write a scripture. I hope you can help me keep it a secret." He said to Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi nodded: "I understand, don't worry, Big Brother Tang, after the manuscript is completed, it will also be published. How long are you going to write?"
After he came back to his senses, he still had an unreal feeling like a dream. If I really wanted to describe it, it was roughly equivalent to the person I liked for a long time, and suddenly found that he lived next door to me. Happiness came too quickly. For a while, I couldn't accept this fact.
Tang Fan smiled and said, "After writing about the fall of Chu, I won't write about it."
Lu Lingxi was taken aback: "Why is this?!"
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Where am I free now? I haven't been to the cabinet duty room for a day, so the files are piled up like a mountain?"
Lu Lingxi: "Yes..."
Tang Fan said: "In the past, I wrote the script to subsidize the family, but now my salary is enough to live on, and I am in the position and I am in the government. Since I am in the cabinet, I should do my duty and do my job well. , you are in my duty room today, have you seen the file in the corner?"
Lu Lingxi was a little ashamed: "No."
As soon as he went in and found that Tang Fan was not there, he immediately became absent-minded. He sat there all day and didn't have the heart to work. He really didn't read the files on Tang Fan's case carefully.
Tang Fan said: "So far, the Da Ming Law has been implemented, there are many omissions, I have collected and added a lot from it, and I plan to discuss it in the cabinet. When you go to the duty room tomorrow, you can take a look. If there are any You can tell me what you think."
Lu Lingxi responded, seeing that Tang Fan wanted to roll over and get out of bed but couldn't help grinning, he stepped forward to stop it: "What do you want, I'll help you!"
Tang Fan glanced at him: "I'm going to relieve him, how can you help?"
Lu Lingxi didn't know what to think, blushed and didn't dare to speak.
Tang Fan ignored him, got up and went out, and came back after a while, his steps were a little slow, and his waist was obviously not light.
Lu Lingxi stepped forward to help him: "Brother Tang, let me rub it for you!"
Tang Fan naturally said no, but Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "People who learn martial arts also need to know some massage skills to be prepared, so don't be polite to me, rubbing it can relax a lot, and you will be fine tomorrow!"
While he was talking, he had put his hand on Tang Fan's waist.
Before Tang Fan could say anything, he heard a voice from the door: "What's the matter?"
Tang Fan: "..."
Lu Lingxi turned his head, saw the person coming, and said hello: "Commander Sui?"
Sui Zhou nodded at him, glanced at Lu Lingxi's hand on Tang Fan's waist, walked over calmly, helped Tang Fan to sit beside the bed, stretched out his hand to massage him, and said to Lu Lingxi: "Since you're here, why don't you stay for dinner?"
Tang Fan also said, "Yeah, Yiqing, you live alone in the capital anyway, why don't you join us for dinner... Oh, you kill pigs, it hurts me too!"
Sui Zhou said nothing: "Accidentally, my hand is heavy."
Tang Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, daring not to speak out.
Lu Lingxi always felt that the atmosphere looked a bit wrong, as if he had disturbed others unintentionally, but out of some inhumane original intention, he decided to obey his own mind: "Then disturb."
Suizhou lives next door to the Tang family, and Lu Lingxi knows it.
But he didn't expect the two families to get along so well that they even had meals together.
However, this was not what shocked Lu Lingxi the most.
What surprised him the most was that this dinner was not cooked by the maids of the Tang family, but by Sui Zhou himself.
Dongpo Pork, Stewed Pork Loin, Fried Shrimp Yellower, Braised Gluten, Mushu Vegetables, Braised Chicken Soup, Mushroom Box, Osmanthus Fish.
These dishes are more than enough for even three people.
And it is hard to imagine that the ruthless and ruthless head of Jin Yiwei would wash his hands and make soup at home.
Looking at the dishes in front of him, and thinking about the pastries he brought, Lu Lingxi felt ashamed.
But maybe it just looks good, smells good, tastes average
With this idea in mind, he tried to pick up a chopstick of sweet-scented osmanthus fish. The meat in the mouth was fresh and tender, with a slight sweetness in the salty aroma.
Maybe it's just this dish.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help slandering secretly, and took another piece of Dongpo meat.
After chewing for a while, and looking at Tang Fan's delicacy, he had to admit...
Suizhou's cooking skills are indeed top-notch.
Even someone like Lu Lingxi had to be convinced.
Because if this is done by the cook and maid at home, at best it is a matter of course. Who let people think about this all day long, but this is from Suizhou. Everyone knows that Jinyiwei is no more leisurely than any yamen, although many of the work they do is It can't be made public, but the commander of Jin Yiwei is also a third-rank official. It is very amazing that he can have such cooking skills.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help comparing himself. After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that the only thing he could do better than the other party was his literary talent, right? Hanlin Jinshi or something, the other party will never think about it in this life.
Although he felt that he was slightly better, he was not in a happy mood. Although the food tasted good and Tang Fan kept calling him to eat, Lu Lingxi was always sullen.
The reason is...
"Runqing had a lot of help from you when he was in Suzhou. He also treats you as a younger brother. If you have time in the future, you might as well come often." Before leaving, Suizhou personally sent him to the door and said so.
Hearing this, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that this is not the Tang family, why is your surname Sui like the master's tone
But Suizhou's aura was really too strong. When he said polite words with a cold face, Lu Lingxi was so dissatisfied that he couldn't hold back half a word of rebuttal.
On the way home, he was depressed and depressed, and was suddenly startled: shouldn't the surnamed Sui also like Big Brother Tang? !
He was taken aback by this guess, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
A person as good as Big Brother Tang, whether male or female, is naturally prone to admiration. What's more, he also heard that Suizhou and Big Brother Tang were born and died, and the friendship between the two is naturally extraordinary. Thinking about the fact that the surnamed Sui is not yet. to marry...
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi felt a sense of crisis.
But it was impossible for him to go to Tang Fan to ask the answer. The consequence of holding it in his heart was that he lost sleep all night, so that he had two dark circles under his eyes when he was on duty the next day, which attracted Tang Fan's concern. .
After the next day, Lu Lingxi ran to Tang's house again. This time, he learned to be smart, and ordered a table of noodles directly from Xianke Building to send to Tang's house. The euphemistic name was that he ate free food at Tang's house yesterday and felt sorry for it. , so I invite Tang Fan to dinner today.
Of course, the level of seating in the Xianke Building is of course unnecessary. Tang Fan still retains a habit. As long as he is free and in the mood, he will always go to the Xianke Building to eat once. Eating, even if the food is delicious, it is at most an enjoyment, but Tang Fan is different. Delicious food can make him relax and think about some things in peace. Often a meal is a meal, things that he couldn't figure out before. Maybe figured it out.
However, Lu Lingxi didn't know that Tang Fan was a frequent visitor to the Xianke Building. Seeing that Tang Fan seemed to like this table, he did not forget to please him and asked for credit: "If Big Brother Tang likes it, I'll send you another table tomorrow. !"
Tang Fan shook his head and said, "No need, you are just entering the official career, and you don't have much salary. Although you have a family background, you should save some flowers, and don't waste it at will."
Lu Lingxi was about to say that it was okay, when Sui Zhou said, "You went too many times last month, and you were hurt. You must be more restrained in the future."
Tang Fan smiled awkwardly and touched his nose.
"..." Lu Lingxi couldn't help but suffer from internal injuries. He was still in the Hanlin Academy last month!
He can be completely sure now that Suizhou really has the same thoughts as himself, otherwise, how can he be troubled by himself everywhere.
Lu Lingxi's fighting spirit suddenly ignited.
Think about yourself, apart from not being able to cook, what else is worse than Sui Guangchuan
At least the two of them can do martial arts. Although he doesn't know how much he wins or loses, Lu Lingxi asks himself that he will definitely not lose if he learns from a famous teacher.
Not to mention that he is still a Hanlin, just by fighting with words, he can throw the other side out of the street.
Lu Lingxi put himself in Tang Fan's point of view even more. A civil minister, especially the minister of the cabinet, has a close relationship with the head of Jin Yiwei. It is not a good thing in any way. If the emperor is suspicious, it will inevitably cause Tang Fan harm.
I don't know if I could see his thoughts, but after dinner, Sui Zhou suddenly said, "I heard that you once studied under Shaolin?"
Lu Lingxi nodded suspiciously and defensively: "Yes."
Suizhou showed a faint smile: "I have played against Shaolin Master Muyin, and I have benefited a lot. I don't know who you are under your apprenticeship?"
For some reason, the other party's smile was extremely annoying to Lu Lingxi. He took advantage of the situation and said: "Master Muyin is my uncle, and his martial arts are very good. My uncle has played against each other, why don't I ask the commander of Sui for a lesson or two tonight?"
Suizhou nodded: "Yes."
Lu Lingxi was most disgusted by the other party's official appearance, pretending to be light and calm, and couldn't help but feel annoyed and helpless.
Compared with Suizhou, he is not inferior in any way. The only difference is age. It is precisely because he is so few years younger that he has not been able to go through life and death with Tang Fan like the other party. s reason.
But people are just one step ahead of you, what can you do
Tang Fan is a typical civil servant who is not very interested in fighting and fighting. Seeing that they are going to discuss, he has no interest in getting up to watch it immediately. It was Lu Lingxi who invited the other party to be a judge. Forgot to say: "Be careful, don't break the flowers and trees."
Lu Lingxi was even more determined that this competition must be won, and let Tang Fan know that he is both civil and military, and is more suitable for standing by his side than Suizhou.
The two quickly moved their hands.
Neither side had a sword, and they were bare-handed, but they moved very quickly. To a layman, they were just two figures jumping up and down. In a blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed. Although Lu Lingxi was young, because of his division, one move followed one move. Steady as Mount Tai, on the contrary, Suizhou's moves are more fluid, not sticking to one pattern, such as antelope hanging horns, coming at your fingertips.
Soon, Lu Lingxi knew that the difference between him and the opponent was not the style of his moves, or his experience with the enemy. It must be known that Lu Lingxi himself had no little actual combat experience when he traveled around.
The difference between the two is that Lu Lingxi doesn't have the courage to kill, so he lacks the killing intent and killing intent, while Suizhou is tempered from iron and blood, from the killing field, so every move has a sharp edge. , which is not available in the former.
Finally, at the time of the nearly 200th move, Lu Lingxi was quickly stared at by the other party because he was distracted, and kicked him directly on the waist.
Lu Lingxi didn't slow down his retreat, and he kept retreating to the base of the wall and knocked down a pot of flowers before he stopped.
He lost.
This fact made him extremely depressed, and even Tang Fan couldn't calm down.
When he left the Tang family, Suizhou offered to show off on behalf of his master, but Tang Fan did not object, and Lu Lingxi did not refuse.
Because he has something to say to Suizhou.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but ask: "Commander Sui, do you have undeserved thoughts about Big Brother Tang?"
It's obvious from the name that they are close.
Suizhou hugged his chest and stood: "What are your thoughts, I am what thoughts."
Lu Lingxi choked and persevered: "Excuse me to be blunt, your identity is sensitive, if you get too close to Big Brother Tang, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor, and in the end, I am afraid that you will kill Big Brother Tang!"
Sui Zhou's expression was light: "I don't need to bother you, I have my own way."
Lu Lingxi said angrily, "You are a tough man!"
Sui Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Whether I am strong or not, you are definitely inferior to me in one thing."
Lu Lingxi disagreed: "Which one?"
Suizhou: "I am willing to give up everything for him, including the heirs, are you willing?"
Lu Lingxi was stunned.
Because of this sentence, he didn't recover for a long time, and he didn't even know when Suizhou closed the door and left him outside.
It is said that that night, groans and begging for mercy were heard from the Tang family's bedroom from time to time, the content of which was about: "...he wants to come, I can't help it, you are angering...don't be too ruthless, I will ask for it tomorrow. Entering the palace... ah... "
