Chapter 401: Dragon Slayer and Fakes
The second hall signing room next door to the study, a small old man rare leisure, two chairs, a stool and a chess pier, sitting hidden hand talk. Chess pier resting on a small stool, the game of two people can only hold their respective chess box, at first heard that the battle here is imminent, even the front hall of the mandarins room Li Gongde Household Room Bai Yu, including a set of big men in Beilang have come to watch the battle, some of the hand of the military counselor without business is accompanied by a vast rush, even made the study even the standing place is not, can be seen that this Rowan scales on the fight for the winner of the compelling, after all, one of the game players! The young feudal king is not only Li Yishan’s senior apprentice, but also regarded as a section of the great power Xu Weixiong’s younger brother, it has long been rumored that Xu Fengyen is indeed extremely tough chess tendons chess strength is very great, and as a young feudal king’s opponent, the king’s priest is the Liyang literary world of the patriarch type of scholar, but also Xu Weixiong’s mentor, although there has been no famous chess games have been circulated around the world, but who all feel that the king’s priest’s chess strength, even if it is not as good as the talent of Xu Weixiong, the king’s priest will be able to play against the young feudal king, I’m sure that he will be able to play against the young feudal king. Against the young king, I think it should be a good match for a good man.
Especially when the old man white fall, that one hand sleeve one hand twisting the elegant style, really let a person see the dizzying God shaking, worthy of being the second chair of the Palace of the upper Yin, the scholarly article saint of the moral master ah.
Probably the old man’s aura is too big and God’s intention is too heavy, so much so that almost no one saw the helpless face and blank stare of the young feudal lord who was challenged.
The unconventional Mr. White Lotus was squatting next to the chess pier and hated to put his eyes on the board.
With chang sui xu huang xu wei xiong as one of han gu zi high disciples of jin bao room, she stood behind the old man, also did not have half a bit of anticipation, she did not want to come here to shame, just can not bear the old man can’t be pestered, this is to pull over in order to strengthen courage, with the old man’s words is the old man and xu feng nian chess strength is equal, the victory or defeat in the fifty-fifty, if there is a great beauty in the side of the encouragement, can be as strong as a bamboo to take down the surnamed xu at one fell swoop. But Jin Bao room on the old man’s chess know the bottom, really stinks of stinky chess basket, not to mention and sister Xu Weixiong difference of eighty thousand miles, she and its game, also can disk kill the old man to lose armor, sure to win a hundred battles.
But Jin Bao room and Xu Fengyin know the old man’s real catty, the house and a head crowded in the window do not know ah, so the white and black after a dozen hands, the elite chess white Yu will be wrinkled brow confused, those who are in the drums is to think that really fucking mysterious, the king priest is worthy of the world’s national player, time and time again, not only back to the basics, and the aftertaste of a long time, must be very clever, must be! They are short-sighted, can’t see the old man’s far-reaching layout, how can it be the old man’s energy is not good to drop the seeds indiscriminately?
After about thirty moves, Li Gongde has rolled his eyes and left with his hands folded, and many of the counselors who could see the way in the game also left silently with strange expressions. After a long time, when the game reaches the closing stage, there are only four people left in the room, namely, the seated players, the squatting Bai Yu, and the standing Jin Baochou.
The old man, who thinks the situation is great, turns to Jin Baorou and smugly says, “My daughter, how is it that I am not justified in being nicknamed the ‘Wang Tiehou’, a chess saint in the world? The power of chess is so fierce! If you look at our king, he is retreating step by step, and has no power to fight back!”
The old man muttered to himself, “Well, in the future I’d better change my nickname and call it ‘Wang Iron Cavalry’, which is the same as the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, and has the same combat power as the rest of the world.”
Then the old man smiled and looked down at Bai Yu, “Mr. White Lotus, you’ve been squatting on the ground for half a day, are you deeply intoxicated? Don’t worry, I can understand.”
Bai Yu lifts his head expressionlessly, “My feet are numb, I can’t stand up.”
The corners of the old man’s mouth twitched and he snorted coldly.
Xu Fengyen silently dropped his pieces, slaughtering a big big dragon, the white pieces instantly went down to a miserable 7/8 of 10.
The young Vassal King leisurely picked up the fallen pieces from the board and threw them one by one into the old man’s chess box resting on his lap.
When the old man, who had recovered from the state of being dumbfounded, was about to reach out to stop him, the young king squinted and said, “What, do you want to regret your move? If you regret this time, don’t come to the study to play chess with me again.”
The old man weighs the pros and cons and laughs, “This game was magnificent and wonderful, I’m still honored even though I lost!”
Bai Yu finally gets up with great difficulty, bends down and rubs his legs, muttering to himself, “In the future, if I come back to this study to watch someone play chess, I’ll poke myself in both eyes.”
The old man ignored it, still looking satisfied.
Jin Baorou picked a chair and sat next to the chess pier, helping the two to pack up the chess pieces.
The old man held the chess box with both hands, collected his smile and asked, “Do you know what Nalan Righteousness is scheming for?”
Xu Fengyen placed the chess box on the corner of the chess pier, “Broadly speaking, he wants me to help King Yanzhi’s father and son to hold back the grassland cavalry for at least a year and a half.”
Priest Wang said in a deep voice, “You promise?”
Xu Fengnian leaned forward and twisted a chess piece between his fingers, smiling blandly, “This kind of thing, we can’t talk about whether to agree or not, because it’s meaningless, if you agree, do you really believe that the new Liyang will treat the Northern Liang Border Troops well? If you don’t agree, do you think the Northern Liang iron horsemen will not fight the Northern Mang barbarians?”
Priest Wang’s words broke the sky, thrilling Jin Bao room who was bending down to collect the pieces with his hands shaking, “Then have you ever thought of meeting with the old woman privately, to draw the scourge to the east? Let the two Liao border troops in Liyang jump around, and then let Zhao Bing and Zhao Zhu, the father and son of Zhao Bing and Zhao Zhu, who have become the masters of Tai’an City, to clean up the mess? North Liang will reap the benefits, not to mention other things, at the very least, fewer people will die.”
Xu Fengnian frankly said, “Thought about it.”
Jin Baorou’s eyes widened, instantly turning pale.
Xu Fengnian smiled, “But it’s just a thought.”
The old man’s complexion was obscure, staring deathly into the young vassal king’s eyes, trying to find some clues from it.
The old man exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath, “Dare I ask why this is?”
Xu Fengyen gently put the chess piece on his fingertips back into the chess box, “It is difficult to distinguish between black and white in this world. Things in the world, however, have right and wrong.”
The old man impatiently said, “You kid to simple, don’t think to make a fuss just because Jin girl is here, to be honest, even if this girl is willing to like you, but do you dare to like her?”
Jin Baorou’s cheeks flushed crimson, angrily staring at the old man.
Xu Feng Nian helplessly said, “Simply put it is very simple, if Xu Snap is still alive, in the face of a million cavalry troops of Northern Mang knocking on the border, would he sneak away and tell the old woman, you take your troops and horses to fight Gu Jiantang, let’s make a truce between Liang and Mang?”
The old man said, “This is different, Xu Snapdragon is Xu Snapdragon, that old woman liked your father back then, your father was a big man who couldn’t pull his face and didn’t want to open his mouth, so what’s so strange about that, but you, Xu Fengyen, are different!”
Xu Fengyen answered the question, and the old man looked at him, and asked, “If the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry doesn’t fight when it meets the enemy, is it still the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry?”
The old man slapped the chess box heavily on the chess pier with both hands and rebuked, “What kind of hero is it when you are dying?!”
Xu Fengnian’s face was as normal, “This question, you might as well ask the Northern Liang Border Army and ask them if they agree. The first Liang-Mang battle, Tiger Head City in Liangzhou, under Qingcang City in Liuzhou, and inside Hulukou in Youzhou, so the multilateral army, not something dying to the death, but already dead. It’s useless for you to tell me now that fewer people can die.”
The old man scolded bitterly, “They are all stupid!”
Xu Fengnian angrily said, “Don’t lean on the old man, I’ll really beat you up!”
The old man crossed his neck and made a wiping knife gesture, “Come on, you kid come this way!”
Xu Fengnian immediately smiled and said, “I don’t dare to, come on, let’s play another game of chess, I’ll make sure you win!”
The old man was skeptical: “Really?”
Xu Fengnian said in a serious manner, “A gentleman’s word is his bond!”
The old man immediately turned amorous, “Jin girl, hurry up and don’t clean up, I’ll fight another game with this well-deserved great player of the game forest, and you can watch me kill in all directions.”
The second game of chess quickly ended.
The old man who had been dragonslaughtered again got up in a huff, waved his sleeve and left, not even wanting the chess piers and box.
Jin Baolu did not retrieve the chess piers and box, and before leaving the study, he secretly gave a thumbs up to the young vassal king, which was a great relief!
Xu Fengyen laughed it off.
Right at this moment, a torture chamber spy came to the study and softly said, “Vice Sectional Envoy Lu is visiting with seven of Lu’s children.”
Xu Fengyen rubbed his brow and nodded, “Just let them come here.”
Qingzhou Lu Clan was once a well-deserved Jing’an Dao’s powerful clan, flourishing, especially in the early years under the shade of the old head of the family on the pillar Lu Fei Edward this big tree in the sky, it can be said to be vibrant, in the hobby of holding unity party known as the dynastic party in the Qing Party, is still known as the Lu family a branch of the most outstanding in the scholars’ forest.
Just move the family into the northern Liang Road in the early days, but quite bumpy, Lu’s children whether in Liangzhou officialdom or the northern Liang literary world, all have no achievements, mainly as the head of the family Lu Dongjiang, long have no official body, and even rumors and that the future king consort of Qingliang Mountain father-daughter relationship, but also extremely sensitive, which is on the Lu’s clan of more than four hundred people, is tantamount to adding insult to injury, that period of confusion years, is nowadays Lu’s children are the most unwilling to Recall the bleak scene, even the family naive young children, also by the elders of the ear, laughter gradually less, a little harmless mischievous behavior, will be depressed elders loudly reprimanded, crying more and more.
Originally with a strong family background in Liangzhou a throw money full of friends Lu’s mansion, from the sparse horses and cars to the door, but just a short year, but the in-laws of the same Xu family in Qingliang Mountain, the same Qingzhou origin of the merchant Wang family, but like a fish in water, no white men, even the fiber away from the sky well of the two ranches have Wang’s sons and daughters of the busy body, was originally the richest man in Qingzhou Wang Linquan was the officialdom of the Northern Liang privately known as the God of Wealth, and Wen Gongde than the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth. With the God of Wealth Li Gongde shoulder to shoulder.
This person ah, not afraid of people together with the same is the end of the world, afraid of goods than goods, Wang’s family of the soaring, set off the higher door Lu’s more and more full of complaints, rumor has it that there was a first Liangzhou Yamen was sidelined by fellow officers of the Lu’s favorite son of the younger brother, a breath of fresh air to return to their hometowns, on the uncle of the Lu Dongjiang put down in person, “I would rather be a ghost of the Greenland, not for the Northern Liang dog! “The story of Lu Chengyan’s return to his hometown is a bit of an understatement.
All of this, with the Lu Chen Yan officially finalized for the future of the Northern Liang Consort, suddenly and change, first of all, a Lu’s handsome to be in the refusal of the North City construction of the position of power, rank is not high, but completely silent down the Lu family in the Northern Liang official re-emergence of the ice-breaking start. Subsequently as a huge family backbone of Lu Dongjiang, is the official luck, a hair out of control, all the way up, until now as a Deputy Secretary of the Road, from the second grade, the real official, looking at the entire Central Plains, only forty years old in the early days of the famous Lu are broken, is considered to be the youngest of the set of local civil servant leaders.
This time, Lu Dongjiang rushed from Lingzhou to Rebel North City, carrying six young men of Lu Clan in the convoy, Lu Clan has four houses, each house has at least one person to be honored to be able to meet the young feudal king together with the Deputy Secretary General. Together with Lu Chengsong, a leading young man who was already an official in the city, Lu Dongjiang was followed by a total of seven young men, led by a military counselor wearing a green shirt and wearing a seal and ribbon, to the study next to the Summer Palace in the second hall. Lu Dongjiang purposely let Lu Chengsong and their own side by side, the latter has been temporarily responsible for the new city of grain and grass from the degree of support for the master, formally transferred, rank from turbid to clear, in common terms is from the official to the official, carp jumped over the dragon gate. So this is on the Lu Cheng Song high hopes of the Deputy Secretary General of the Lord, the corner of the mouth hung full of smiles, listening to this Lu’s children about some of the refusal of the North City anecdotes, nodding frequently, can not hide the gratification.
Once suffered from the scourge of the feudal divide of the Liyang court in the Central Plains after the unification, decentralization is far less than the collection of authority, in addition to the king of the feudal princes, any of you is the official to a strategic ambassador and the section of the border ministers, but also the right to open the house, unauthorized selection of staff as a court official with a stream of goods, is the great sin of migrating thousands of miles. Only in the northern Liang always exceptions, whether Liangzhou border army or Guannei officialdom, as long as to do the three products, the old and new generations of feudal lords have turned a blind eye to this, and always let those few civil and military officers to open the House, self-selected staff, Qingliang Mountain and the House will basically painfully approved red that meaningful “can” word. Beiliang is an exception, Lu Dongjiang is not an exception to this exception, but the Deputy Secretary of the Lord in the end is the reputation of the scholarly world, love and cherish the feathers, but also did not go too far to promote Lu’s members of the high-ranking officials, scattered more than ten people, more than a number of just ranked among the ranks of Qingliu ranked small officials, probably this is also regarded as a son-in-law surnamed Xu, the peach for the plum.
Walking in the team at the end of the young man from the four rooms of the Lu family, the four rooms of the male sparsity, in the old ancestor Lu Fei Edward in the world will be atrophied, the name of this weak son of Lu Chengqing, is really dipped in the short in the pulling out of the advantages of the taller, otherwise, if it is the other house disciples, how can not take his turn to go to that study show his face. Lu Chengqing from a young schooling in the Lu family within the name, the qualifications of mediocre, mediocre literary talent, Lu Dongjiang naturally regarded it as a useless stupid juniors, but the temperament of the gentle, never trouble, but also let a person to worry about, this time to refuse to the north of the city to meet the feudal king, will piggyback on the silent young man’s father died a long time ago.
Lu Chengqing hangs alone on the tail of the team, his footsteps are steady, his eyes do not look askance, there is no other young people of the same generation of curiosity to look at, and even more so, there is no two Lu’s children in front of him that kind of complacency attitude.
Different from the famous Lu Cheng Song, also different from those, Lu Cheng Qing in following the family moved into the northern Liang, still focusing on closed-door hard reading of the sages, so when the Lu family was in ruins, the family did not have a backer of the young readers lost the least, in the rapid rise of the Lu family, he did not borrow his father’s generation to save up with the first eldest house of the only remaining point of the flame love, to go to talk to the “hands full of seals and ribbons”, the young people of Lu’s generation, he was not a good man. Hanging full of seal ribbons” of the head of the family Lu Dongjiang to ask for an official and a half position, but to go to the Youzhou Qinglu Cave Academy of study, the days are still uneventful, and even so far no fellow students know his identity of Lu, when the students get together when the needling of current events, pointing out the river and the mountains, singing Qingdao, and never his Lu Chengqing. This time the family letter to move ahead of him to Guanwai, Lu Chengqing came, only carrying a bookcase, gritted his teeth and hired a carriage, and then alone in the market town outside the city to wait for the powerful Deputy Festival Minister and his party, when the three houses of his peers Lu Chenghe learned that refused to go north of the city even after no high-ranking officials out of the city to welcome them, they complained that refused to go north of the city this side of the city is also too unpolite, if it is replaced by the Tai’an city to the uncle’s eminence! Identity, not to mention the Minister of Rites to meet, at least there should be a Minister of Rites waiting outside the city. Lu Chengqing, who was ridiculed by his peers as an elm, remained as cold as ever, only listening, not saying or doing anything.
The study next to the summer hall is not big, there are only four chairs, one for the young king of the clan, Lu Dongjiang of course has one, both the refusal of the northern city snakes but also the Lu clan’s youngest son of the top of the A Lu Chengsong, can also occupy one, the last one, Lu Dongjiang seated eyes gesture to Lu Chenghe to sit down, but the eyes of the elder in addition to encouraging the meaning of the younger, but also a few points of the reminder of not to get involved in any other way. This Lu Chenghe, is that in the Liangzhou Yamen as an official is not happy to resign quickly Lu’s children, but also put down that harsh words of the young celebrities, but it is a pity that this is in the reverence for martial arts and weak culture of the Northern Liang Road, perhaps replaced with the Central Jiangnan, this is a pile of sensational scholars of the elegance of the beautiful story. Lu Dongjiang has long been on Lu Chenghe’s eyes, once personally praised as my Lu’s high standard Lang, high standard, that is, high branches, meaning the height of the mountains and trees also. In Lu Chenhe young, Lu Dongjiang in Jing’an Road literary circles not hesitate to advocate for its momentum, Lu Chenhe did live up to expectations, to win for themselves the nickname of the small talk of the country hand, is the only able to compete with the relatively more pragmatic Lu Chengsong a young man, as for the mute less spoken Lu Chengqing, I’m afraid to be two peers of the qualification of the eyes of the handsome boy are lacking.
A study four chairs, the young king stood at the door to rise to welcome them, led them into the house, stood with a smile behind that ordinary to the extreme case, reached down and pressed, until the old man Lu Dongjiang and three young people are seated, the young king only slowly sat down.
The study is not big, but the books and files are many, and there is no ice basin filled with ice resting in the corner, even if the young feudal lord has opened the window before, it is inevitably slightly cramped and hot, which makes in order not to lose the etiquette of the Lu Clan’s children are a little uncomfortable, a few young people standing behind Lu Dongjiang Lu Chengsong Lu Chenhe, in the corner of the eye after surveying the study, they are a little surprised, the official study, which is used by the feudal lord to deal with important military matters, is also too simple, and it is too simple, and it is too simple. Formal study room, also too simple, simply can use the word shabby to describe.
In the early years of Jing’an Road in Qingzhou, they are far away from the rumors of the wutong courtyard in Beiliang that cover the degree of extravagance, are very curious, when the Central Plains literary world there is an interesting story, there is a brilliant Jiangnan Road famous scholar, in the temple to scold Xu Snapdragon as the first big thing for the official, after the return to seclusion, and then to reprimand the Beiliang border as the first big thing of his life, the ordinary scholarly family origin of the old man in the blue sky, in the latter years to excel at writing poems, circulating North and south of the Yangtze River, the content of the rhetoric is gorgeous, especially like to depict the banquets and feasts, by the Jiangnan Road, Wenlin known as the “writing of the rich and noble family courtyard, the rhyme of the melodious, can be said to be full of gold and jade”, the results of how to get into the bitter cold northern Liang, the son of His Royal Highness sent a letter to the old man’s mansion, roughly speaking, you are this cold old man did not touch the threshold of the rich and noble all his life, full of what gold and what jade! Threshold, full of what gold and what jade, vulgar and intolerable, and at the end of the gift “rain beating bananas a thousand sounds, sit and watch the koi 10,000 tails”, the implication is undoubtedly that you are an official only served as a third grade of the old man, seen that the bit of the snow and snow, simply can not be on the stage.
The old man received the letter, resentment, but also like a treasure, immediately to the court impeachment of Beiliang Xu family, what “Xu Snapdragon privately misappropriated the Northwest Border Army pay, enrichment of private pockets to the extreme, horrifying,” “Beiliang are poor, the Xu family only rich,” which later on was time and time again by the speech of the official These kinds of quotes, which were frequently borrowed by the loyal ministers, were firstly circulated from the mouth of the old man who was a “candid man of letters”. Only after so many years, when the news of the Northern Liang 10,000 big snow dragon riders down the Jiangnan spread, once threatened to say “I would like to die Xu crippled,” the old man, the first time to quickly and overnight moved his family to Tai’an City, overnight, can be moved away from one thing without falling, moved to a clean slate.
Study conversation, although the young feudal lord did not wear a python, but after all, Lu Dongjiang wearing a meticulous official uniform, but from beginning to end there is absolutely no half a point of the meaning of the courtiers, but like an ordinary old man and son-in-law chat, is related to official affairs, the young feudal lord also with a smile, mostly deputy secretary of the Lord in said, the young man seriously listening, never half a point of impatience color. During this period, the young king personally even poured a cup of herbal tea for the people in the room, the tea is produced from the Lingzhou white frost tea, such as green ants wine, are dirt off the dregs, belonging to the summer tea, no chewy, and there is a strong astringent flavor, and only the shy Lingzhou countryside old tea drinkers will be happy to taste. The reason why the white frost tea can be the old Liang Wang Xu Snapdragon for the Qingliang Mountain King’s House and the Northern Liang border army “tribute tea”, in that the tea origin, there were more than 800 people together into the Liangzhou border ride, and coincidentally become a robe, in a war outside the pass, eight hundred riders took the initiative to take responsibility for breaking the back of the battle, all died in the war. The small county of Lingzhou, which has only three small counties within its sparsely populated jurisdiction, had almost every household onyx as white as frost at that time. I’m afraid Lu’s children have never even heard of this, they just wondered how the young king, who was used to the richest and most leisurely days under the sky, could be able to get down with this. Of course, most of the young people, as long as they can drink this cup of tea, even if it is hard to drink, even if it is hard to get into the stomach, they are still as happy as can be.
Only Lu Chengqing, who stood in the most corner, only felt bitter.
Even if it is a short journey into the city, he was listening to Lu Chenghe these people chatting from the Northern Liang Wang Fu into the folk antiques and treasures, each lucky to pick up a few pieces, each regret missing a few.
Lu Chengqing didn’t have any spare silver, even if he did, he wouldn’t buy it.
At this moment, Lu Chengqing looked at the young feudal lord who always smiled warmly, and felt that the aftertaste of the cup of tea was even more astringent.
Lu Dongjiang should also be aware that the young feudal lord needed to personally deal with the heavy affairs in the midst of the war outside of Guanwai, so he didn’t stay for long and soon got up to take his leave.
After the young king got up, picked up a long brocade box placed in the corner of the table, around the table, handed to the deputy secretary general, apologized and smiled: “There are no good things here, this box of ‘bamboo pipe small purple cones’ or I let someone specially sent from the wutong courtyard, not worth any money, but just better than rare. ”
Lu Dongjiang bright eyes, took the box, laughed: “Your Highness has a heart, from the Dafeng Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Southern Tang Dynasty, this Kezhou Zhulin County of purple and green two hair is tribute, Feng law is clearly recorded ‘tribute to the green hair of five taels of the year, purple hair of four taels of the year’, especially ‘stone old rabbit perched As a tiger, eat bamboo and drink spring born purple hair ‘of the purple pen is the most precious, but unfortunately after the destruction of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, the war spilled over to the Zhulin County, almost no grass, this small purple cone is really become a perfect pen, it is said that even the Imperial Study Room of the city of Tai’an, there are only two or three small purple cones, and can not be used, only for ornamental purposes. Your Highness, truth be told, I have been in Qingzhou in the early years of searching for more than ten years, is still bitterly seeking ah, fortunately, fortunately!”
The young feudal lord smiled and said, “This is considered a crooked hit.”
Lu Dongjiang came here on a good day and returned on a good day.
The Lu Clan’s children must have been honored as well.
Just as the young vassal king got up to send them out of the study, Lu Chenghe suddenly stopped and turned around, asking, “I heard that when Your Highness was still His Royal Highness, you once composed the poem, ‘A thousand voices of the rain hitting the banana, and 10,000 tails of the koi carp while sitting and watching them’?”
Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled, “Indeed.”
Lu Dongjiang knew that it was not good, just not waiting for the deputy sectional minister lord to speak out to stop him, Lu Chenghe, who looked like a cone out of a bag, bluntly said, “Your Majesty’s intention should be to use this to belittle the fake riches of Han Jiajing, a famous scholar of the Jiangnan Road, right?”
Xu Fengnian was still smiling, nodding his head gently.
Lu Dongjiang, who was holding the box in his hand, had simply left it to fate, and in fact, deep down, he was also looking forward to a beautiful thing of “hitting the right target”.
Lu Chenghe bluntly said: “But the king’s words, is tantamount to fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. The rich poem piled up by the words of gold and jade, naturally, is not really rich, but the king’s listening to the tide of the lake koi carp, wutong courtyard of a thousand bananas, and my ‘small lounge turning the book of the light wind, high-rise hanging lamps dissolving the moon’, how?”
Xu Fengyen’s smile intensified, “The difference is immediate. In fact, back then, my second sister had also like you, scolded me fiercely, said that I was worse than that old man surnamed Han, suddenly rich, even Han Jiajing that the implicit effort to put on a facade are gone.”
Now Lu Chenghe was speechless.
He really didn’t expect the young vassal king to reveal his shortcomings so much, and his stomach full of brocade drafts was suddenly useless.
Xu Fengyen asked with a smile, “You are the Lu Gaobiao Lu Chenghe who said ‘I would rather be a ghost of Qingzhou than a dog of Northern Liang’, right? Your sister once mentioned you to me in Wutong Courtyard, saying that you have too much talent.”
Lu Dongjiang rounded up and said, “Your Highness, this kid’s talent is a bit, but it just can’t be the word ‘flourishing’.”
Xu Fengnian smiled without saying anything.
Apart from the satisfied Lu Dongjiang, the group of young people once again bowed respectfully and bid farewell.
Lu Chengqing was still walking at the end of the line, and for some reason, this unnamed fourth house disciple suddenly turned his head in a mysterious way, just in time to see the young feudal lord smiling at himself, while gently tossing a small object at him.
Lu Chengqing subconsciously reached out to catch the cold seal-like object and held it in his hand, looking puzzled.
The young feudal lord winked at him with a smile, then turned around and walked into the study.
Instantly drenched in sweat, Lu Chengqing tried his best to maintain his composure and continued to walk slowly forward.
Slightly loosening his grip, he looked down.
Sure enough, it was a compact private seal with the texture of sheep’s white jade.
The one Lu Chengqing held in his hand was an appreciation seal.
This type of seal, which was used to inscribe paintings, calligraphy and cultural relics, emerged in the Dafeng Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Nine Kingdoms.
The word “Fake” is engraved on the seal!
This private seal is definitely the most legendary seal of connoisseurship, and will probably not be surpassed even hundreds of years from now.
A painting or calligraphy of great value, treasures destined to be handed down from generation to generation for hundreds or even thousands of years, had all been stamped with these two words.
Lu Chengqing was in a trance, lost in thought.
He couldn’t figure out why the young feudal lord would casually throw such a significant object to himself.
He couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t given to the profound Lu Chengsong, the sharp-witted Lu Chenghe, or even Lu Dongjiang, the head of the Lu family.
Xu Fengyen sat back behind his desk and smiled.
For the young man Lu Chenghe’s little bit of literati’s fake innocence trick, it was only viewed as a not-so-funny joke. Lu Chengyan did mention this cousin, but it was not about too much talent, but rather, it was about being full of gas like a whining woman, too much whining and broken liver. Visible Lu Cheng Yan to Lu Cheng He no good feeling to say, but to the father Lu Dongjiang can not fake color Lu Cheng Yan, on the obscure cousin Lu Cheng Qing is very good, she was very solemn to Xu Fengyen said, although her grandfather has not been showing any signs of importance to Lu Cheng Qing, but she said two comments, one is “full of elm is not good for use, a sandalwood people do not know, but the other is not a very funny joke, but not what is too much talent, but the depressed gas belly like a whining woman, whining too much liver and intestines broken. A sandalwood people do not know”, elm is that Lu’s up and down are mediocre, that sandalwood is that the four house brother Lu Chengqing, two is “a chaotic assassin’s talent, have peace Shangshu of the instrumental style”, as the leader of the Green Party on the column of Lu Fei Edward, on the side of the grandson of the Lu Chengqing’s future, obviously full of expectations.
That a box of six small purple cone, in fact, Lu Chenyan let people from the wutong courtyard to send refused to the north city residence, the intention is certainly not to let Xu Fengyen hand over to Lu Dongjiang, purely want to leave something for her man at least, they secretly hide, which was not scraped by Xu Beihao.
On the contrary, that seal of appreciation that has long been famous all over the world, it is true that Xu Fengnian could not afford to flow into the Central Plains from Qingliang Mountain.
But if you give it to Lu Chengqing, there is nothing you can’t give up, give it to a reader, not to a reciter, Xu Fengyen is willing to give it up, as when he bought poetry from a cold man in Beiliang for a thousand dollars.
Xu Fengyen also has no utilitarianism, after all, Lu Chengqing is still just a piece of diamond that has not yet been carved, even if the Northern Liang use him, but also have to win the second battle of Liangmang.
Xu Fengyen sat alone in his study, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and for no reason he remembered the game with Priest Wang and muttered to himself.
Dragonslayer, dragonslayer, dragonslayer ……
Portable Two Capitals, Not Sending the Son of Heaven to the Central Plains ……
