So I play chess

Chapter 133 Traces
This day in Tongcheng was another fine day with a clear sky and clear blue sky.

There is no shortage of such good times in Tongcheng in April. Seeing the flowers, red, willows and greens all over the city unscrupulously rushing into the courtyards of various houses, the young people who had been hiding at home for many days from the war accidents were all squeezed out of the inner houses to go outside. went.

Originally, they didn't dare to go out of the city at will, but the aunt of the prefect has called the rich families in the city and the family members of government officials to accompany her out of the city for outings. From time to time, she also invited some famous people in the city to accompany her. imitated it.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason.

Following Wen Gu's behavior, many gossips spread in the city, saying that the prefect's aunt was a little lady, graceful and charming, greedy for food and money, and even tied a face or a lover back to play with her.The reason for this is to please the man.

This anecdote quickly overshadowed the war news on the other side of the border of Chu State.After all, the war is still far away, and it is not often heard about, but this new thing is right in front of you, and you can touch it with your hands.

As soon as the rumor spread, some people with active minds were unwilling to just listen to gossip. Many men and women in the city wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of characters these two people were, and some even thought about it. There is nothing better than getting close to one of these two.

After all, according to the rumors that came out, the prefect's aunt was quite friendly to others, much better than that villain Liu Zhuke, who was successful in one day.

In this way, both inside and outside the city quickly became lively.

Regarding this matter, there are not only discussions in the city, but also everyone in the house is in a dilemma.

Of course, Liu Zhu made a fuss by crying for his father and mother, but Zhou Tong, who consciously understood what the eldest lady wanted, pressured him to find Li Xun Jinwan a prestigious job.

Wen Liang didn't know why the eldest lady was like this, but felt that after she had been ill for a while, there was nothing unusual about her words and deeds on weekdays, but he really couldn't understand this matter.Zhou Tong also tried to explain Wen Haohao a few times, but he got a lot of supercilious looks for nothing.

Li Mao didn't say anything, and silently sent people to restore a lot of reputation for the eldest lady, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop the boss from making new troubles. Although his methods were effective, they were still useless and could not stop Yoyo Everyone speaks.

Why today the aunt of the prefect invited Li Langjun to go to the Yunlou for a banquet, and cooked delicacies for him by herself.Tomorrow, the prefect's aunt invited Li Langjun to enjoy the scenery outside the city, and he smiled at the Baihua Expo, making it very lively.

The people in Tongcheng talked happily, and Zhou Tong and Liu Zhu also helped with various emotions, either happily or reluctantly.

It's just that Li Langjun is too difficult to serve, and he didn't show a good face when the prefect aunt treated him like this.

It's just that he didn't dare to turn his back on him, and he didn't even speak ill.

After Wen Gu woke up, in addition to the original things going on as usual, he also did two things.

One is to ask Lao Zhao to personally lead the troops, all the way south in the name of Tongcheng defenders, and station at the border of Tongcheng.As soon as the officials from Lianzhou who reported the letter first arrived, they took the Taishou Liu's talisman to negotiate with the Dingyi army, and met the adults from Lianzhou in Dingyi territory.

Of course, he didn't go into details about whom Lao Zhao and the others should wait for or who they would pick up to review the past. They only said that Lianzhou would definitely send people to come because of the changes in Tongcheng.He also asked Li Mao to pick two smart people from his staff to go with them as a matter of expediency.

The second is to have a talk with Li Xunshen, telling him all the things he concealed, saying that he has already sent someone to investigate Zhou Quan, which made Li Xun inexplicably astonished.Like last time, he threatened Jin Wan's safety to submit, but Li Xun was reluctant but could only do so.

Then I followed Jin Wan to talk with Jin Wan again, but it was much easier to talk to.

Later, Li Xun cooperated with Wen Gu with a bitter face and suffocated breath. He felt ashamed when he saw Jin Wan, but he didn't want Jin Wan to take the initiative to tell him that he wanted him to work for the prefect's aunt. Stuffy all day.

Of course, Li Xun suffered more than this, during the day he had to accompany Wen Gu to play around.In the evening, according to Wen Gu's intention, he had to hurry up and carve a stone sculpture.

Wen Gu promised that when the stone carving is completed, he will no longer need to make false claims with himself. Based on this hope, Li Xun does things with practical intentions.

In the past, he worked lazily, and it took seven or eight days to complete the work. Now, although he is tired, it only takes three days to complete it.

On this day, Wen Gu specially sent someone to set up the Cross Street in Nanshi, and invited all the gentlemen from the Zheng family, the Sun family, and the Wang family. Although Liu Zhu and some officials from the government office did not come to avoid suspicion, they also sent Li Mao as their representative. to dinner.

The stone sculpture was placed in the middle of the cross street, less than the size of a person, and covered with a dark blue cloth, making it difficult to see the specific details.

There were no large enough wine shops and teahouses on the left and right of Cross Street, so Wen Gu asked Jin Wan to lead people to arrange a three-story banquet table at the intersection.They also rented out all the places with back kitchens in Nanshi, mobilized manpower and arranged food and drinks without losing their place.

Originally, Li Mao was worried that it would be windy today, so it would not be suitable to hold a banquet outside.Wen Gu didn't take it seriously, and told him that there had been no wind in Tongcheng for the past three days, which was the best weather.

Come today, as expected.Li Mao admired his young lady's ability even more.

"Since ancient times, generals have always been familiar with the right time and place. What do you know?" Although Zhou Tong didn't know how the young lady did it, it didn't take him long to ridicule Li Mao.

Naturally, Li Mao was polite on the surface, but in fact he sneered a few words at him.

However, during this time, there was one incident that made Wen Gu a little bit grumpy.

While the two of them were talking, Wen Gu happened to raise his head and saw that there was obviously a small mark on Li Mao's forehead, about half the width of a little finger, darker than his skin color, like a scar left after a wound had healed.

Wen Gu hadn't talked to him alone before, only now did he find out.

"What's on your forehead?" Wen Gu asked with a frown.

Li Mao was taken aback for a moment, then touched his forehead, and suddenly said: "Maybe I didn't know when and where I met it, it's okay."

"Is there any bleeding or pain?" After Wen Gu asked, he added, "Don't hide it."

Li Mao was a little flattered, and replied: "Miss, don't worry, it just appeared suddenly, it doesn't hurt or itch, and it will be fine in a few days."

Wen Gu asked some more questions such as "Is there any discomfort in your body", Li Mao denied them one by one, and Wen Gu couldn't say anything, just said "Be careful", knowing that Xia will call a medical officer later She came to show Li Mao, and specifically told her to go to the medical officer who saw her that day, so it was considered a temporary stop.
