mutual affection
Lu Chengyan was a little at a loss, and she knew the importance of affection. Of course, there are all kinds of tricks in the rich and powerful. The old ancestor said that the weight seems to be much heavier than she imagined.
The old priest of the Qing Party, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, looked sideways at the plum green incense burner, which is shaped like a spiral mountain and engraved with three fairy mountains in Yingzhou, Boshan, Penglai. Lu Chengyan has been with her ancestors for many years, and found that the aroma was weak, so she immediately ran to add charcoal fire. The spices in the stove are diptero incense brought from the South China Sea, mixed with water grass unique to Qingzhou, and made into fragrant cakes, so the aroma is rich and moderate , long, but the smoke is not heavy and will not choke the nose. Lu Feichi withdrew his gaze, and said softly: "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The wise people around the emperor can be divided into three levels of intelligence. Great talents can help the world and help the people. They are the best auxiliary state structure. The blue-eyed Zhang Julu is undoubtedly this kind of person." A middleman can guard a state and rule several counties, use it to disrupt the country and bring disaster to the country, use it small to lose talent, our Qingzhou Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu are all in this list, if your father Lu Dongjiang can sharpen it in the future, he can barely count. The next ones are those guys who only know how to flatter their lords, their talents are mediocre, but they are born to observe words and demeanor. Yaner, do you know why the great talents who assisted the monarch in the past generations have ended up worse than the young talents?"
Lu Chengyan said in a low voice: "The master of high merit?"
Lu Feichi was noncommittal, and said indifferently: "Northern Liang Wang Xu Xiao can be said to be a master of meritorious service? How could this human Tu live until today, tearing up the soil and sealing the border, and holding 300,000 elite soldiers? Without it, there is only love." .When getting along with the emperor, love is far better than talent. Why are eunuchs capable of politics and why are their relatives in power? Isn’t it just the monarch’s love for incense? The relationship between Xu Xiao and the first emperor is less than father and son, more than brother. It was not easy, so even if the former emperor passed away, this friendship was still more or less passed down to the current majesty. At the beginning when he seized the heir, Xu Xiao just watched it coldly. Wanting to recruit the Prince of Beiliang to be a son-in-law, people like Wen Taiyi felt that the friendship between the emperor and Xu Xiao was exhausted, and they were anxious to make trouble, and they made a noise in the court with Sun Xiji and the gang of subjugated old thieves. It was wrong, it was wrong. Zhao Zhi is not a simple woman. In my opinion, only half of it is to test Xu Xiao's bottom line, and the other half is to protect Beiliang and Xu's family. Even if Xu Xiao resists this, she He won't be really angry, how about Xu Xiao going to Beijing this time? It's not the same as getting a hereditary replacement! If it were someone else, even King Yanchi, would he be able to succeed?"
Lu Chengyan said cautiously: "Old Ancestor, how much of the friendship between the monarch and his ministers that the King of Beiliang has accumulated so hard all his life?"
Lu Feichi smiled and said: "There is not much left, no amount of love can't withstand Xu Xiao's tossing twice, but the king of Yan, the king of Guangling and the vassal kings are still alive. Gu Jiantang rushed to Beiliang to become the king with a different surname. There was a great reason for it. Gu Jiantang was too smooth and refused to make enemies. How could the former emperor rest assured that he would go thousands of miles away to become king. Sanwei, Gu Jiantang's popularity is really not as good as it is. Earlier in the dynasty, someone said that Xu Xiao's team could be destroyed by Gu Jiantang if he gave it to Gu Jiantang. cooked."
The old priest who had been recuperating in Qingzhou for a long time smiled slightly, and said: "Let's talk to you little girl again. The reason why we took the risk to come to Chunshen Lake is because the two generations of our Qing Party finally got together. The anger has dissipated. That blue eye is amazing. He has subdued old man Wen after only a few years in power. His son pushed it up, one went to Beijing to serve as the Dahuang Gate, the other became the sheriff, and the remaining one who could not read big characters went to ask the surname Wei for the Qingzhou Navy. After meeting old man Wen's favorite student, Hong Lingshu is good at everything, but his mind is too small. Even though he saw that this was Bi Yan'er's conspiracy, he was still angry. The few old guys from Qingzhou who were able to speak to the court refused to stop. They were either secretly drawn in by Gu Jiantang, or flirted with people like Sun Xiji, the old grand master of Xichu. If it really falls on me, I don’t care about the overall situation. Our Qingzhou has long been said to be dead by the ancients, and we forget righteousness when we see profit."
Lu Chengyan giggled and said: "If the ancestors are still in the capital, how can they let them come here blindly."
Lu Feichi patted the great-granddaughter's head, squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "You little sycophant."
The old man sighed and said, "I'm not a person who sees profit and forgets justice, so I can only laugh at these old people in front of you little girl. Maybe tomorrow it will be their turn to slander me."
Lu Chengyan snorted and said, "They dare! Yan'er will let Lu Dou kill their whole family tomorrow!"
Lu Feichi stretched out his hand to caress his beard, and said with a hearty smile, "There are few really smart people in the world, but there are also few really stupid people. Your father, the so-called descendants of rich men, don't quite understand this truth, but now The world is peaceful, it’s just that you can’t see the tragic people in the turbulent times. Those in the Lu family’s mansion who want to show their hearts and livers to be called a loyal and loyal staff, I don’t think they weigh a few catties. It is a pity that there are so many history books that record the bloody lessons of the ancestors when reading a bright future, and reading righteousness and great wisdom."
Lu Chengyan nodded and said: "Of course, reading dead books is useless as a scholar. If you study well, you are inferior in everything but reading is high."
The old man laughed and said appreciatively, "Let your father hear this."
Lu Chengyan made a mischievous face, "That won't work, Dad will definitely have to tell Yan'er about Sheng Xianyun again."
Lu Feichi suppressed his smile, got up slowly with Lu Chengyan's support, walked to the window, and sighed softly: "It's not surprising that the son Zhao Xun lost to His Highness Beiliang, but even King Jing'an, who made up his mind to die, didn't." It would be interesting to keep him. Just now Chu Lushan claimed that you would not fight back if you slapped me, Yan'er, don't think it was a joke on the scene, this Luqiuer who hides a knife in his smile is very serious."
Lu Chengyan exclaimed in amazement: "It's the truth? Yan'er thought it was a joke to warm up the scene."
Lu Feichi smiled calmly, "That's why I'm going to let you enter the Beiliang Palace. The main concubine doesn't have extravagant expectations, and she will ask for a concubine for you no matter what. In terms of courage, Wen Hong and the two old guys have never once in their lives. It's better than me."
Although Lu Chengyan, who was praised by her ancestors since she was a child, had some guesses, she was still shocked after hearing it with her own ears, and dared not speak for a while.
Lu Feichi patted the back of his hand, and said kindly: "Go, stare at the incense burner for a while, this thing must be ready."
Watching the great-granddaughter trot to squat in front of the incense burner to fiddle with the charcoal fire, the old man looked at the lake, the breeze was blowing, and the white beard was flowing. .The heat of Xiangfan City is just right."
Lu Chengyan let out a cute cry.
Lu Feichi turned around and picked up a piece of old ginger from the food box on the shelf, put it in his mouth, and asked suddenly: "I heard that His Royal Highness is very handsome?"
Lu Chengyan was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head with a smiling face, "It's so pretty!"
Lu Feichi chewed the slightly spicy ginger slowly, stroked his beard and squinted his eyes and said, "From this point of view, he probably has half the charm of our ancestors back then, right?"
Lu Chengyan stretched out a finger to scratch on the cheek, and said with a mischievous smile: "The old ancestor is not ashamed!"
The old man was not angry either. He walked over and bent down to wipe off the black charcoal on his great-granddaughter's face, and said dotingly: "The married daughters are all water poured out. They turned their elbows outside before they were married. The old man Your ancestors have loved you for nothing all these years."
Lu Chengyan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked up and shouted: "Yan'er is not married anymore, if you don't marry, don't marry!"
Lu Feichi chuckled and said, "Silly girl. The old ancestor gave Yan'er a last word. Marry your husband and follow your husband. I really want our Lu family to be rich and wealthy. When the old ancestor enters the coffin, don't care about your parents." Said, let alone how the family asks, you must remember to think about your husband in advance, this is what makes the Lu family stand out from the chaos in Qingzhou. Then you, a handsome future husband, can make King Jing'an this time The risky move of soldiers is half of his ability and half of his lack of skill, but he is still young after all, as long as he has the courage and pattern, he might not be able to become the king of Beiliang who can not lose to Xu Laizi."
The old man looked at the starry sky, and whispered an obscure word that made Lu Chengyan confused: "Zhanbei looks south, swallowing a dragon with a python."
…
Xu Fengnian did not get close to the bonfire where Euphorbia Ning Emei was, but lay on the grass at the top of the hillside, staring at the bright Milky Way in a daze. Not long ago, he fed the blue bird to the old master Zhao Xituan of Longhu Mountain. Countless celestial masters have incomparably precious dragon and tiger golden pills. There are only two in a box. It is said that it can prolong life, which is no different from life extension. Hushan Demon Slaying Terrace is asking for the elixir rumored to be able to bring the dead back to life in the hands of Immortal Qi. So just now when I saw the two Dragon and Tiger Golden Pills that were filled with fragrance after opening the box, Li Chungang, who knew the goods, asked the maidservant in Tsing Yi if he was willing to do so? The old sword god originally meant that the maidservant's injury was no longer a serious problem, and her survival was a certainty. This priceless golden pill seemed unnecessary and suspected of being squandered. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness said in a calm tone that he was willing to take it, and then directly asked when it was appropriate to take the second golden pill.
The old sheepskin fur man came to sit down beside His Royal Highness Shizi, pulled out a root of licorice and put it in his mouth, and said with emotion: "The sky is like a hut, covering the whole field, who is not a frog at the bottom of the well."
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "Senior, this doesn't sound like something you would say."
The old sword god curled his lips and laughed at himself: "In front of the little clay figurine, of course you need to put on airs of an expert at all times, otherwise how can you trick her into practicing swords with the old man."
Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes, imitating the old sword god, pulling out a piece of licorice, flicking off the soil, putting it in his mouth to chew carefully, and said vaguely: "Sweet, I used to sleep with Lao Huang, this kind of bird doesn't shit There is no bed or quilt, so I scold my mother when I have nothing to do, and when I really have no strength, Lao Huang will hand over this licorice."
The old sword god said calmly: "The few swords you have in the reeds are the nine swords of Jian Jiuhuang. Although the old man has never seen this person make swords, the first eight swords are not bad. They are only ordinary high-level swordsmanship. The ninth The sword is the real style of everyone, how long have you practiced secretly?"
Xu Fengnian shook his head and said: "I just read the sword manual, but never actually practiced it. I don't know why I used it during the day."
Old man Li looked dubious.
Xu Fengnian sat up, turned around and asked, "Senior, why didn't you accept the sword box?"
The old sword god said with a smile: "Then why don't you eagerly read that sword manual that is second to none in the world?"
Xu Fengnian lay down again and raised his legs.
The old sword god laughed loudly and said, "Li Chungang was not born to me in the sky, and the way of the sword is as long as night through the ages."
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "You and Jiang Ni blow this cowhide away."
The old sword god stood up, kicked off the little bastard's Erlang leg, and said angrily: "Get out, I will let you know if this is bragging!"
Xu Fengnian was stunned for a moment, not daring to say anything: "Would you like to teach me superior swordsmanship?"
The old man sneered and said: "The superior swordsmanship in the eyes of the world is nothing! This old man will directly teach you the green snake with two sleeves tonight!"
