Ten days later, Wen Qingzhu arrived in Lingcheng, and Qiao Hu personally came to pick her up.
Standing in front of an exquisite house in Lingcheng, Wen Qingzhu looked at the familiar plaque in front of him and asked, "Mr. Qiao, thank you for your trouble."
"As long as Miss Wen likes it." Qiao Hu replied, turning his head and pointing his finger at the room, "Please come inside."
I followed Qiao Hu to visit this small courtyard, which is almost a miniature version of Luoying Pavilion.
Looking at the familiar plants and trees, Wen Qingzhu's heart fluctuated.
Wen Qingzhu can only think of one person who can prepare all this.
Only he has the ability to arrange all this in advance, and only he can remember his preferences so carefully.
"Thank you Mr. Fu for me." Wen Qingzhu said, holding Lu Tao's hand and walked into the house.
Qiao Hu looked at their leaving figures and felt very strange. What happened to her and Fu Lie
After taking a short rest in the house, Wen Qingzhu asked Xi'er to go out and deliver a letter.
In the evening, Xi'er came back happily.
"Miss, I got the reply."
Wen Qingzhu'er took the letter from Xi'er, opened it, and smiled.
Sure enough, in this life, he had guessed that he would come to Lingcheng and specially waited for him here.
"Prepare the gifts I told you before. Let's go to Ruyi Tower tonight." Wen Qingzhu was in a good mood. There were only two people she admired in her previous life, and Lu Ce was one of them.
As the sky darkened, Wen Qingzhu changed into men's clothes, and Lu Tao and Xi'er also changed into boy's clothes.
Jiangnan is a place with complicated rules, and Wen Qingzhu doesn't want to be too conspicuous.
After leaving the door, Qiao Hu immediately received the news.
He hesitated for a moment, then wrote a letter and sent it back to the capital.
At the same time, he also changed his clothes and walked towards Ruyi Tower with a boy.
Ruyilou is different from other brothels. The girls here only show off their skills and not their bodies. It is a truly elegant place.
Qiao Hu was once curious about who the master behind it was, but his second grandfather reminded him: You can even investigate the background of the prefect of Lingcheng, but don't investigate the background of the owner of Ruyi Building.
The second master of the Qiao family has stayed in Lingcheng for almost twenty years, and he knows more things than Qiao Hu.
Qiao Hu also respected him very much, so naturally he didn't inquire too much about Ruyilou.
It's just that when Wen Qingzhu came to Lingcheng, he went directly to Ruyi Tower. Could it be that she knew the owner there
He decided to go and check it out tonight.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu stood in front of Ruyi Building, looking at this exquisite and complicated tall building. Instead of colorful silks and satins hanging at the corners of the eaves, there were elegant and exquisite lanterns of various colors.
Looking at this familiar style, Wen Qingzhu found it hard to imagine that a man born in the northwest would be so fond of Jiangnan Fengya.
After entering, Wen Qingzhu directly told the girl leading the way: "It's late at night and I'm here to see Mr. Lu."
The girl was startled and quickly led Wen Qingzhu to the third floor.
Stopping at the door of a private room, the girl explained: "Master, please go in by yourself. Sir, he will come later."
"Thank you." Wen Qingzhu walked into the house and looked at the elegant room full of Jiangnan style. Every vase or painting was a priceless antique.
Ever since he died once, Wen Qingzhu has taken these things lightly.
Jiang Yuancheng once expressed his feelings and gave her countless priceless things.
But in the end, the sincerity and trust she wanted most were not there at all.
Wen Qingzhu walked in and sat down, and Lu Tao poured her a cup of tea.
The quiet fragrance of tea immediately filled the room, and Lu Tao was shocked: "Is there such a fragrant tea?"
Wen Qingzhu raised the cup, shook the porcelain cup engraved with Luoyang peonies in his hand, and smiled softly: "It's not the scent of tea, but the scent of the cup."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from the door.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and saw a young man dressed in white, Sheng Xue, standing at the door.
The eyebrows are picturesque, but the eyes are stained by wind and frost.
That sharp eagle-like gaze seemed to be able to look directly into people's hearts from the bow of the ship to him.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, raised his hand and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
The person who came was none other than Lu Ce, a geek who came from the Lu family.
After Lu Ce came in, he walked directly to the opposite side of Wen Qingzhu and sat down. He reached out and pushed open the window, just in time to see the lanterns all over his eyes.
There is a lake outside the window. There are light yellow lanterns hanging on the lake and on the trees. There are some inscriptions and paintings on them, each with its own merits.
They are connected one by one, giving people a delicate and magnificent scenery.
Lu Ce looked away, looked at Wen Qingzhu and said, "I specially prepared this for Miss Wen, do you still like it?"
"Absolutely." Wen Qingzhu has seen more magnificent scenery, so naturally he doesn't have much experience with this thing.
Seeing her answer, Lu Ce laughed softly: "Don't worry, Miss Wen, the real gift is yet to come."
As his slap sounded, the lanterns on the lake and on the trees slowly flew into pieces.
The lanterns don't fly at the same time, but one lantern follows the other.
Soon, the entire sky in front of me was occupied by lanterns that gradually flew up.
If they were just stationary lanterns, Wen Qingzhu wouldn't think there was anything unusual, but since these lanterns can fly, they fly at regular intervals.
This is not a simple arrangement.
However, what surprised Wen Qingzhu even more was what came next. These lanterns slowly flew up, and when they reached a certain height, they actually stopped in the air.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were filled with shock, and he even walked to the window involuntarily.
Lu Ce, who was standing by the window, smiled, then reached out and pushed open the window.
Then the suspension bridge appeared in front of Wen Qingzhu and slowly connected to the center of the lake.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look sideways, and saw Lu Ce walking up first, raising his hand to invite her: "Miss Wen, please, the scenery inside is more beautiful."
This scene is really shocking. It not only requires simple human and financial resources, but also requires talents who are proficient in architecture and thermodynamics.
This kind of talent is extremely rare in this era where the imperial examination is paramount.
Wen Qingzhu walked up gently. To his surprise, the suspension bridge barely swayed.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Ce beside her.
Lu Ce explained: "This little idea is very simple, and it was invented by someone you know."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment, looked at him and said, "Lei Xiushan?"
"Well, he is very powerful. Mr. Cui is still as bright-eyed as ever." Lu Ce walked forward with Wen Qingzhu, talking to her at the same time.
The two slowly started chatting around Lei Xiushan.
Arriving at the center of the lake, the two people came to a small pavilion that had been erected.
There were floating lanterns all around. Wen Qingzhu stood by the railing and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The lantern trembled slightly and actually started to spin slowly.
The mottled and interlaced light and shadow project one Jiangnan street scene after another.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes seemed to be shining with stars, all his worries were forgotten, and a shallow smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
Lu Ce stood beside her and looked at her quietly.
Sure enough, her high level of interest is not something ordinary people can have.
Wanting to fight Mr. Ji from before, Lu Ce suddenly felt that Wen Qingzhu was somewhat similar to him.
Mr. Ji's interest is too high because he has been in a high position for too long and traveled all over the world.
But why is Wen Qingzhu
More than a quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu turned around with satisfaction and thanked him seriously: "I'm very happy today, I made Mr. Lu so embarrassed."
Lu Ce was not modest. When Wen Qingzhu made the request, he was really embarrassed.
Fortunately, he still sat down.
When he sat down at the table, Wen Qingzhu poured him a cup of tea himself, stood up and asked him, "What does Mr. Lu want in return?"
"Miss Wen's reward has been given." Lu Ce reached out and took out an old letter.
Wen Qingzhu looked down and saw that this was the message she had delivered to Lu Ce.
It's about the inside story about Su Lu and Zhang Ke.
She smiled, with a unique charm in her eyebrows: "I didn't do much in that matter last time. I just gave Mr. Lu a simple reminder."
But Lu Ce shook his head and motioned to Wen Qingzhu to open the envelope and take a look.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu frowned as he stared at the letter.
Does Fu Lie also know about this
Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then opened the envelope.
Sure enough, in addition to the news she wrote to Lu Ce, there was also news about Bu Liugu.
The only person who can understand Bu Liugu so clearly is Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes. Sure enough, he didn't suddenly become smarter last time.
She stood up, walked to the railing, reached for a lantern, and took out the candlestick inside.
In front of Lu Ce, the letter was burned.
Lu Ce was confused, but didn't say anything.
Xi'er didn't quite understand. He just felt that the young lady was in a bad mood again.
Lu Tao knelt down worriedly and helped Wen Qingzhu up.
After sitting down again, Wen Qingzhu's brows were filled with sadness again.
Lu Ce glanced at the ashes on the ground and knew that Fu Lie had also sent him a message.
Although his tone and handwriting were all imitated by Wen Qingzhu's, only Fu Lie knew the news about Bu Liugu best.
He guessed that Wen Qingzhu didn't know about this, so he brought this letter here specially.
"Is there any misunderstanding between Miss Wen and Mr. Fu?" Lu Ce felt that if Wen Qingzhu's knot was not resolved, her happiness would only be temporary.
This time his mission was not completed.
Wen Qingzhu looked into Lu Ce's eyes. She and Lu Ce trusted each other in the previous life.
But in this life, she was very familiar with Lu Ce, but she could still tell that Lu Ce was gradually testing her.
This kind of relationship is not what Wen Qingzhu likes.
But now she's reached a point of no return.
So Wen Qingzhu spoke: "Master Lu, can you be friends with me?"
Lu Ce was slightly startled. He didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to say such a thing.
Does a person like Wen Qingzhu, who is strategizing and controlling the overall situation of the capital, still need friends
All along, before meeting Wen Qingzhu, Lu Ce felt that she didn't need friends.
Arrogant and aloof, although she doesn't know why she cares so much about Fu Lie, her choice has now been proven.
Now even though Fu Lie is already the Marquis of Pingguo, now King Ning, King Chu, and King Rui supported by the Wei family.
In the next few years, there will definitely be a bloody storm.
Fu Lie's role here is self-evident.
The current emperor also took a fancy to Fu Lie, so he has been trying to control Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were so vicious that he set his sights on Fu Lie, who was destined to be nothing in the pool.
In the future, Fu Lie is destined to dominate the government and the public.
