Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 260

Time passed slowly.

Chang'an in early February has seen warmth.

Two days before Li Shimin led the army to set off, Lu Huaniang's younger brother Lu Lin made a surprise visit.

As a concubine of the Lu family, Lu Lin is not very conspicuous in the Lu family, even if his knowledge is outstanding among the disciples.

Qin Tian was quite surprised by Lu Lin's visit.

In fact, since marrying Lu Huaniang, Qin Tian really hasn't paid much attention to the situation of the Lu family, and his relationship with this brother-in-law is not considered close.

But after all, there is a relationship. When Lu Lin came, he should be entertained.

In the living room, Qin Tian ordered someone to make a pot of good tea.

After Lu Lin drank, he was also very impolite, and said, "Brother-in-law, I am here today to ask for something."

Qin Tian nodded, he knew that there must be something wrong with his brother-in-law.

"What's the matter?" After answering the question of brother-in-law, it was difficult to say the words of refusal.

"I'm going to go outing soon, you know that?"

Qin Tian was taken aback, the ancients liked to go outing, not only ordinary people, but also literati, but what does outing have to do with Lu Linqiu's own affairs?
"Of course I know. I discussed with your sister two days ago, saying that it would be nice to find some time to go outing and have some wild game."

Hearing this, Lu Lin suddenly showed a little joy, and said, "Then why not tomorrow?"

Qin Tian was a little puzzled, and said, "What exactly do you mean?"

Lu Lin smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, you don't know. Tomorrow, the children of all aristocratic families will take their own people to go for an outing. In fact, although it is a outing, the main thing is to write poems to compare talents. Last year, our Lu family lost. Thinking of asking you to go to town."

The reason why the aristocratic family became the aristocratic family is because they have many scholars, and they have the right to speak for the scholars. As scholars, they naturally want to come up with some elegant and interesting things during the outing season.

Although the aristocratic families are married, they are also intriguing in the market on weekdays, and it is inevitable to achieve some victories in literature.

After all, winning would be of great help to the aristocratic family's status in the literary world.

It's just that Qin Tian was a little strange: "Can I go too?"

"Of course you can go."

Qin Tian snorted, although this time he represented the Lu family in the battle, it should also be helpful to enhance the prestige of the Qin family. After thinking about it, Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, then I will take people to go for an outing tomorrow... ..."

Lu Lin talked about the time and place, and then had a meal at the Qin Mansion before finally leaving.

When Lu Lin left, the rest of the Qin family naturally knew about this matter, thinking that it would be very lively tomorrow, so Tang Rong and the others also clamored to go.

Qin Tian couldn't refuse this, so he agreed.

Lu Lin came in the morning and left in the afternoon, and as soon as he left, Lu Feng came running again.

"Uncle, Miss, the expansion of Cosmopolitan Residence has been completed, and it is three times larger than before, but the cost is not small."

This point is very clear to Lu Huaniang, if Sihaiju is expanding on the original basis, it will definitely sell some of the surrounding shops. In order to sell these shops, they have spent a lot of money.

But thinking that the stir-fried dishes will come out soon, and with the addition of Pingshu and Nurha's magic, it is not difficult for Universal House to expand its business. In that case, it is worth spending so much money.

"Then what is the purpose of Director Lu coming here?" Qin Tian looked at Lu Feng and asked.

"Ask when it opens."

Qin Tian glanced at Lu Huaniang, and Lu Huaniang said, "The day after tomorrow, we're going for an outing tomorrow."

Lu Feng nodded in response, and then backed away.
-
Choi family.

Cui Tong is meeting several younger generations of the Cui family in the living room.

These juniors are all members of the Cui family who have achieved quite a lot in the literary world in recent years, and their talents are very good.

"I'm going to go outing tomorrow, you represent our Cui family, don't let people down."

As Cui Tong said, the crowd responded repeatedly: "We will definitely do our best."

Cui Tong nodded, then looked at a man with slightly dark skin, and said, "Cui Yan, you are the most talented student among our Cui family disciples, and everything depends on you tomorrow."

Cui Yan nodded and said: "Uncle Cui, don't worry, my nephew will definitely not disappoint Uncle Cui."

Cui Yan is very confident, and he also has the capital of self-confidence. In the entire Cui family, he is the most talented person right now, and in the entire Chang'an City, he is definitely the top.

When it comes to writing poetry, there are few people who can match him. He is fast and good at writing poems, and even some great Confucian scholars in Chang'an are highly respected.

Tomorrow, there will be many people serving as judges. It is too easy for him to win.

When Cui Tong was talking with these people, a spy hurriedly reported: "Master, just got the news that the Lu family has invited Qin Tian."

Because the Lu family has a son-in-law Qin Tian, ​​Cui Tong has been sending people to watch over him all the time. After hearing the news, Cui Tong frowned slightly: "After all, the Lu family invited Qin Tian."

His tone was a little cold, but also a little trembling, obviously nervous.

Cui Yan was somewhat disdainful, and said: "Uncle, don't worry, even if Qin Tian is gone, so what, I will still defeat him tomorrow."

Cui Tong said: "This Qin Tian is not easy to defeat. Looking at his previous poems, whether it is a cup of heart, wishing to be a lovebird in the sky, or a branch in the ground, they are all rare and good lines. You Are you sure you can write such a good sentence?"

Cui Yan said: "Uncle, what we are comparing is writing poems. His writing can be regarded as a poem. Whether it is good or not depends on whether he can write a complete poem, and whether it is relevant. This Qin Tian is just a landlord. It’s just a son, what talent can he have?”

When Cui Yan said this, Cui Tong felt that it was indeed true. Although the poems circulated by Qin Tian were very wide, none of them were complete. If they were not complete, what was there to be afraid of?

Cui Tong nodded, somewhat confident: "Okay, then it's up to you tomorrow."

After saying this, the crowd finally dispersed.

After Cui Yan and the others left, Cui Tong's eyes showed a murderous intent, but he quickly hid the murderous intent, left Cui's mansion in a hurry, and went to the East Palace.

After Cui Tong came to the East Palace, he said, "His Royal Highness, King Qin Li Shimin will leave tomorrow, and Qin Tian will stay alone in Chang'an City. Do you think we can do something?"

What Cui Tong meant was very clear. Without Li Shimin's protection, wouldn't it be easy for them to deal with Qin Tian?
Li Jiancheng also wanted to deal with Qin Tian, ​​but he showed embarrassment, and said: "That's what you said, but you have to know that Father also likes Qin Tian a lot, so it's not easy to deal with him."

Cui Tong said: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, the lower officials already have a poisonous plan, as long as Qin Tian takes the bait, he will be skinned even if he doesn't die."

"Oh, what poisonous scheme?"

"…………"
