This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 39
On the way home, Su Shi was a little confused: "It's strange, how could the young man see through my plan at a glance?"

Indeed, as Lu Sen said, Su Shi heard Ringo complain that sweet beancurd is not as delicious as his own sweet juice, so he laughed deliberately, in order to stimulate the future to eat delicious food.

Because he thinks that children can't lie, and children are very fond of sweets and can taste it by nature.Which sweetness tastes better, so what the little girl said must be true.

Su Shi has eaten many delicacies in his hometown of Meishan, but desserts are rare.

After all, there is less sugar at this time, and fewer people can make desserts.

His craving for unknown sweets.

Originally in his hometown of Meishan, he had tried and tested this aggressive method over and over again, and he was often able to get delicious food.

"Brother, there are so many talented people in the capital, so don't use the old ones." Su Zhe followed, shaking his head and said, "Look, it's only the fourth day after coming to Bian capital, and people make fun of you. Get your own face."

Su Shi stubbornly said, "How could I know that the handsome white-faced boy has so many hearts."

"You are only allowed to be smart, but not Linghui?" Su Zhe laughed beside him.

Su Shi said dejectedly, "It's very strange that there are people of my age who are as smart as me."

When Su Zhe heard this, he shook his head and had nothing to say.

Big Brother's narcissistic appearance, he has been used to it since he was a child.

On Lu Sen's side, after eating the snack, he went back to the low mountain.

The Cao brothers still come to visit from time to time and chat.

After more than half a month of leisure life, Lu Sen found a good day and went to visit Yang's and Cao's houses with two baskets of fruit.

Two or three peaches, pears, and loquats are packed into a fruit basket.

Moreover, these fruits sell very well, and there is no trace of being bitten by insects on the skin. All of them are very watery, and they are very face-saving when they are sent out in the spring.

The Yang family was very happy, especially Yang Jinhua, who received Lu Sen in person.

I have to say that Yang Jinhua, with her hair up, seems to be a bit more beautiful, looking at people's eyes with Wang Wang Qiubo.

I visited Yang's house in the morning and went to Cao's house in the afternoon.

After all, the two brothers of the Cao family have been coming to the door all the time.

When Lu Sen arrived at Cao's house, he just reported his name, and the concierge was surprised and asked Lu Sen to wait, while he hurried back to report.

Cao Guojiu brought his two sons and personally entertained Lu Sen.

First he thanked Lu Sen for saving his youngest son, and then he pretended to be his uncle and chatted with Lu Sen enthusiastically.

The two sides were talking and laughing, and the guest of honor was suitable. After two hours, Lu Sen, who felt a little thirsty in his throat, found a reason to leave.

After Lu Sen left, Cao Yu and his two sons were still sitting in the hall.

He took a sip of clear tea and said, "Nephew Lu Shi is finally willing to step up to the threshold of my Cao family. The two of you have not been in vain during this period of time. It is enough to praise the two of you for your father."

The Cao brothers all laughed happily.

It is a rare thing for their two sons to be praised by their father.

After laughing, Cao Ping asked, "Dad, since Brother Lu is willing to befriend us, should we help Brother Lu to gain momentum?"

"That's not necessary. I think Lu Shinephew doesn't seem to have the intention of making a name for himself. Otherwise, just by sending his bottle of honey into the palace, he will already be able to get himself an official, and he will be favored by the official family." Cao Yu shook his head: "Besides... In case Lu Shi's nephew really falls into the eyes of the official family, we will want to get a share or two of his things in the future, but it won't be that simple."

Cao Ping understood what his father meant.

It is to keep Lu Sen's secret as much as possible, so that their Cao family can occupy more or monopolize the 'curious fate' leaking out of Lu Sen's finger.

"But Fu Yin Bao also knew about Brother Lu, so he was afraid that he would spread it out." Cao Yu said aside.

Cao Yi smiled and said: "I understand Bao Xiren, he is concerned with the world, and he is particularly disgusted with ghosts and gods. I think when he was young, he also wrote an article criticizing the emperor's search for immortals and wanton alchemy. This kind of loyal minister will not let the official family indulge in the practice of alchemy. Not only will he not report Lu Shinephew's matter, he will even try to hide it."

"That's no wonder." Cao Ping suddenly realized, and slapped his palm with the fan in his hand: "There are so many people in Kaifeng who saw Brother Lu heal his brother. During this period of time, I haven't heard any rumors in this regard outside, and it seems that Fu Yin Bao has also issued a gag order."

Cao Yi laughed when he heard it: "Bao Xiren probably thinks that a greedy person like me wants to hold Lu Xiaolang in the palm of his hand, and it is probably just what he wants."

Just when Cao Yu was laughing, the concierge came over, clasped his fists and reported, "Lang Jun, the Prince of Runan is visiting."

"Hey, why is he here?" Cao Yu said, "Please hurry up."

"Father, my brother and I retire first."

The adults in the family entertain guests, and the visitors are very high-ranking, and the two juniors are not suitable to be present.

"Well, let's go!"

Not long after the Cao brothers had left, the doorman bent over and led a middle-aged man in.

The other party was wearing a white uniform with a jade python belt tied around his waist. When he saw Cao Yi from a distance, he clasped his fists with both hands and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Brother Gongbo."

Gongbo is the word of Cao Yi.

Cao Yu stood up, and also clasped his fists and said, "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you. What kind of wind blows you, a busy person?"

"Damn! Don't mention it." Runan County King walked in, sat down unceremoniously, and said: "Those god-damned gangsters made a big fuss in Fanlou some time ago, let's not talk about the second son of the Chai family and the two sons of Li Shilang. I was devastated by the death, and more than 30 wealthy households and several officials died. For this matter, I ran around day and night to apologize and pay compensation, and tossed and tossed for more than half a year before suppressing the matter, alas!"

Fanlou is the property of the Runan County King, and if people die on his territory, of course he has a certain responsibility.

I don't know how much money I spent, how much saliva I spent, and how much I owe, so I got things done.

Cao Yu said sympathetically, "It is indeed an unwarranted disaster."

"Who said no...Wait, peaches!" Prince Runan was stunned when he saw the fruit basket at the corner of the table, and then reached out and grabbed one to look at it: "It's just spring, and the peach blossoms haven't even bloomed yet. Where did the peach come from?"

bad!
Cao Yan was calm on the surface, but under the table, he pinched his thigh hard.

I was angry and depressed, how could I forget to put away the fruit basket!
To be seen by outsiders, is he stupid?
"I specially put it in the ice cellar last year." Although he was scolding himself hard in his heart, Cao Yu explained indifferently.

"Can it be frozen for so long? It's not like... This peach has a delicate and smooth skin. The fruit in the ice cellar will become dry over time, like an old woman's face."

The Duke of Runan said and bit his mouth.Immediately, I felt a lump of full honey juice in my mouth, which was very sweet but not greasy, and had the unique fragrance of peach meat.

He couldn't help but continue: "Delicious, how did you get it frozen, it tastes better than freshly picked."

Saying that, the Prince of Runan took a few more bites, and the next peach entered his stomach, leaving only a peach pit.

Cao Yi's face was wrinkled, and he felt distressed... This is a fairy peach that Lu Shi's nephew made in the fairyland of the world. The real fairy peach was actually eaten by someone.

"It's really delicious." King Runan felt that this was the best fruit he had ever eaten.

He looked at the fruit basket and wanted to eat another one, but there were not many fruits in it, and he was a guest, so eating more would not be good.

Can only be reluctant to give up.

Cao Yi resisted the urge to call people to put away the fruit basket. If he did, he would only give the impression of being stingy and not understanding hospitality.

It's just that when he saw that the eyes of the Runan County King were still aimed at the fruit basket from time to time, he felt his heart skip a beat.

For fear that the other party would take another gag and eat it.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. After a few glances at the fruit basket, Prince Runan said, "I came here this time to ask you something, Brother Gongbo!"

"My lord, please speak."

Cao Yu spoke quickly, and now he just wanted to let the Duke of Runan finish his words quickly, clarify his intentions, and then agree to all that can be promised, and then send people out of the house.

It's terrible, I always feel that the other party is thinking about his own fruit.

"A few months ago, my family Lian'er was almost kidnapped by a beggar in Wuyoudong while walking on the street. Fortunately, a young man rescued him." Runan County King sighed and said, "I initially suspected that the young man and the beggar were in the same nest. Yes, to save Lian'er, I just wanted to act as a hero to save beauty, and had other nasty plans. So I sent someone to check secretly. Who knows, I thought too much, and I wanted to treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It’s just that the Fan Lou affair disrupted my plan, and the matter has been delayed until now.”

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Cao Yu was a little puzzled.

If you want to thank someone, just go, what are you doing here?
And ate me a peach!
"My subordinates accidentally saw that the two unicorns of the uncle's family seemed to be familiar with the young man who saved my daughter, so I came to ask... what is the real character of the young man?"

Cao Yan hesitated for a while, is he familiar with his son?Then he suddenly realized: "Are you talking about Lu Sen Lu Shi's nephew?"

"Oh, Brother Gongbo, do you call that young man a nephew?" The Duke of Runan asked with interest: "It seems that Brother Gongbo, you also agree with the character of that young man?"

Cao Yi's eyes widened slightly: "My lord, are you... intending to marry a daughter? I remember that your little lady is not yet married."

The Prince of Runan County said melancholy: "It's almost too soon! It's only half a month."

The daughter was first banned for two months, and then ordered not to leave the outer city.

I thought that like this, my daughter should gradually forget about the boy.

As a result... Recently, my daughter sighed for a long time, and she didn't want to eat or drink, so everyone was lessened.

As a past person, how could King Runan not know that there is someone in his daughter's heart.

It is not up to the mother, nor the father!
"So I came here to ask you, what is the temperament of that Lu Sen young man. Is he the quick son-in-law of the King of Runan County?"

Cao Yu felt that his scalp was a little numb.

Personally, he doesn't really want to help become the Runan County King, or that sentence, if I can eat alone, why should I share the profit with others.

And now, he feels more and more that it is too difficult for him to have no daughter at home.

First of all, the little lady of the Yang family went to the low mountain for a stroll from time to time.

Now there is another Runan County King who wants to marry a daughter.

Obviously they made the move first, but the Yang and Zhao families both took the other side as their chess, and actually brought the dragon to go straight to Tian Yuan.

Cao Yu felt tired, he was silent for a while, and said: "Nephew Lu Shi has no problem with his character, his temperament is really gentle, and he is definitely a good match. It's just that he... is an outsider, and cultivating on the mountain is a bit hard. Your Majesty Your little lady is used to eating fine clothes and jade, so she may not be able to endure that kind of deserted life after getting married."

"What's the problem with that?" Runan County King smiled and said, "I have Fan Lou in my hand, and our family's surname is Zhao. As long as you marry my daughter, how can wealth and honor be less."

It is!

Cao Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "It's just that Nephew Lu Shi is proud..."

"It's good to have arrogance, how can you marry my Zhao Yunrang's daughter if you don't have any arrogance. The big deal is that my family will give in, so what!" The Duke of Runan slapped the table with a very satisfied expression, but then his face collapsed and he said helplessly: "It's just that Uncle Gong, you know, Lian'er is not in the family tree, she has no name and no share, marriage can't be a big deal."

Cao Yi also knew about Zhao Bilian.

Zhao Bilian came from a brothel woman and lived outside the mansion in the early years.

Later, the brothel woman died of illness, and Zhao Bilian was brought into Zhao's house.

It is a pity that because of the mother's identity, she was tabooed, and she has not been able to enter the family tree, and she is not welcomed by the wife and concubines of the king of Runan County.

Fortunately, Prince Runan felt guilty towards Zhao Bilian and took care of her wholeheartedly.

Therefore, although Zhao Bilian seems to be insignificant in the palace of the prince, in fact, she will not be bullied at all.

The servants of the palace would not usually salute her, nor would they call her the princess, but secretly, they still regarded her as the princess.

The cost of food and clothing, everything is at the level of the county master.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with not being able to do it."

The King of Runan County shook his head: "If you can't do it well, it will easily hurt your daughter's heart, and it will easily chill your son-in-law's heart. It's hard."

"Then find someone who doesn't care." Cao Yu smiled.

"Lian'er likes it, it's not good to change it rashly." Zhao Yunrang stood up: "Since my uncle said that the young man is really good, it should be good to think about it. But I will let people go to see it again, after all, what I see is what it is. Reality."

After finishing speaking, Prince Runan left, but before he left, he glanced at the fruit basket and licked his lower lip, causing Cao Duo's scalp to go numb.

When the figure of Runan County King disappeared, Cao Yu immediately returned to his study with a fruit basket.

So two days later, a group of people came to the low mountain and came to the outside of Lu Sen's yard.

Zhao Bilian stood opposite Lu Sen with a smile on her face, holding her brother in her right hand.

And on her left side, there was a young man in his early 20s.

Seeing Lu Sen, the young man clasped his fists and said, "Xiaosheng Zhao Jiazongsheng, on the order of his father, came to thank Lu Xiaolang for saving my Lianmei a few months ago!"

At this time, Zhao Bilian said with a smile: "My ninth brother is talking, and then I am holding my hand is Shu brother, who is ranked thirteenth."

Zhao Shu broke free from his sister's hand, clasped his fists in both hands, like a little adult, and said calmly, "Xiaosheng thanks Brother Lu for saving Sister Lian, a great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it."

The two princes of the Zhao family, who called themselves 'Xiaosheng' when they spoke, had already kept their posture very low.

Lu Sen was silent for a while, then clasped his fists and smiled: "It's just a gesture of effort, you are too polite, please come in!"
