I am the carpenter king

The hall was very quiet, no one was talking, everyone looked at the person coming, and then all looked at each other.No one expected that this person would actually speak like this. Apparently, many people had guessed that this person had an enmity with Ni Yuanlu.Since it's a personal grievance, it's hard for others to say anything.

Looking at the person coming, Emperor Tianqi smiled playfully. This person was exactly the person he had met that day, and it was Sun Zhixie.Emperor Tianqi didn't have any hope for this person, and always felt that he should be like this.

Ni Yuanlu looked at Sun Zhixie, her body trembling constantly, obviously the atmosphere was abnormal.Ni Yuanlu was very shameless about Sun Zhixie's behavior, but she didn't take the past matters to heart.However, Sun Zhixie is a person who will take revenge, and he looks down on Ni Yuanlu in his bones. He is very happy to be able to suppress Ni Yuanlu.

Wen Zhenmeng on the other side frowned slightly. Everyone was reading the books of sages. I don't know how it happened?He kept in his heart the words of his ancestors, what is the meaning of reading sage books?If someone like Sun Zhixie stepped into court, it would be the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty!

"Girl, Xiaosheng's family is poor, his father died early, and only his old mother raised him. It's not easy for my mother to observe festivals. If you marry me, I'm afraid you won't be able to live a life of luxury." Ni Yuanlu glanced at Sun Zhi Xie, without saying anything, turned his gaze to the woman behind the curtain, and said in a low voice.

Shaking her head slightly, the woman smiled lightly, and said in a brisk tone: "Young master is twenty-three this year, and he is already famous for his achievements. If he is admitted to the gold list next year, he will be able to leap into the dragon's gate. It is the success of a young man. At that time, the little girl But it's just that I came from a slightly cold background, I'm afraid the husband will dislike it!"

"As the so-called poor and humble friends should not be forgotten, a poor wife will not go to court. I, Ni Yuanlu, read the books of sages and sages. I understand the principles of gentlemen, and I should follow the example of ancient gentlemen. Girls, don't worry, Xiaosheng will not do such inhumane and unrighteous things. It came out! My Ni Yuanlu's book didn't get into the stomach of a dog!" Ni Yuanlu said as she turned to look at Sun Zhixie, her eyes were full of contempt.

Hearing Ni Yuanlu's words and seeing what he meant, the people in the hall suddenly laughed.Everyone smiled and looked at Sun Zhixie.

"You!" Pointing at Ni Yuanlu, Sun Zhixie said with a sneer: "There are many things in the world that can't be done just by thinking, Ni Yuanlu, do you know how much money it takes to redeem the girl from Wangjianglou? I paid 2000 taels of silver. Since this girl plays the piano here, no matter her appearance or talent, she is probably the top three choice in this Wangjiang Tower. Even if you are Cowherd and Weaver Girl, you only have a share!"

It can be said that Sun Zhixie didn't read what he said, and the hall became quiet again. Although Sun Zhixie's words were harsh, no one refuted them.After all it is a fact.No one would doubt the woman's ransom fee, just as no one would doubt the woman's appearance.

"You two, Wangjiang Tower is not a place to quarrel. If you want to quarrel, please go outside!" Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, a middle-aged woman walked over slowly.

Cupping her hand to the woman, Ni Yuanlu said, "Guan Liu, I want to redeem this girl, I wonder if it's possible?"

The woman smiled lightly.He said in a gentle tone: "All the girls in Wangjianglou can redeem themselves, there is nothing you can do." The woman looked at the girl as she spoke.She smiled and asked, "Ling'er, this young master is willing to redeem you, are you willing?"

The girl inside seemed to be a little embarrassed, she twitched for a while and handed out a note from inside. After reading it, the girl smiled and said: "Since it is a mutual love, then naturally there is nothing to say. This young man, I don't know Have you brought the money for the ransom?"

Looking around in embarrassment, Ni Yuanlu's face flushed immediately, she cupped her hands at the woman, and said helplessly, "Guan Liu, how much money do you need?"

"No more, no less. 5000 taels of silver!" The woman smiled at Ni Yuanlu and said softly.

Hearing the woman's quotation, exclamations erupted in the hall, the quotation of 5000 taels of silver is really not low.Many people present are quite rich, but not everyone can afford 5000 taels.

Seeing Ni Yuanlu's mournful expression, everyone felt a little sympathetic, of course there were some exceptions, and this one was Sun Zhixie.

"Haha! I told you a long time ago, don't think about it! Wangjiang Tower is not the place you should come to, and the girls here are worthy of someone like me." Sun Zhixie on the side laughed loudly, his face Full of smug smiles.

"Reading is sensible, why do some people become more confused when reading, good sage books, must read at the worst, I really don't know if such a person has a brain!" Just when Emperor Tianqi wanted to say something, a voice Suddenly there was a sound in the hall, which seemed particularly abrupt.

All eyes turned to the source of the sound, just in time to see a person walking down from the third floor.This person is very young, dressed in white, although it is a little old, it looks very clean.Most people here are holding folding fans, but this person is different, holding a knife and a short knife in the big hand.

The blade is very short, you can't see what it looks like when inserted in the scabbard, and the length is not much longer than the dagger.Few people present could see it, but the Emperor Weather knew it, and the Tang knife he ordered to make was similar.But it doesn't look like a Tang sword, but it is somewhat similar to a Japanese sword, but it is not a Japanese sword.

Everyone was attracted by this person, but Emperor Tianqi was attracted by the knife in this person's hand.There are quite a few literati who wear swords. After all, swords have always been a struggle between gentlemen, and it is rare to see a knife like this in hand.

Seeing that the person who came was also dressed in common clothes, Sun Zhixie was disdainful, snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Where did the madman come from? Let's talk nonsense here, and weigh your own weight?"

The man ignored Sun Zhixie, but slowly came to Emperor Tianqi and the others, clasped his fists at them, and said in a deep voice: "Yixing Lu Xiangsheng, I have seen you all!"

Before this person walked to Emperor Tianqi's side, Chen Si, who was standing behind Emperor Tianqi, came up and stood in front of Emperor Tianqi.

"My lord, this person is dangerous!" Chen Si stared at the person who came by, and said in a low voice.As a martial artist, Chen Si has his own vision of seeing people, and this person walks unusually calmly.With broad shoulders and a thick back, the lower body is very stable, and the hands are calloused. At first glance, it looks like a martial arts practitioner, and I am afraid that his kung fu is not low.

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, he naturally believed Chen Si's words, and he didn't expect to meet a warrior here.The status of warriors in the Ming Dynasty was very low, how could there be warriors here?

When the other party revealed his family name, Emperor Tianqi's heart twitched suddenly, and his body trembled with excitement. Many people didn't see Emperor Tianqi's appearance, but Zhu Wanjun who stood aside did.In his eyes, Brother Huang never changed his expression. Why was he so excited this time? He couldn't help but look at that person curiously.

"I'm Ni Yuanlu, I've met Brother Lu!" Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice as she clasped her fists at Lu Xiangsheng.Although he has never heard of Lu Xiangsheng's name, he should be more polite to those who take the initiative to show affection.

"This is Wen Zhenmeng, a descendant of Wen Tianxiang, and the great-grandfather is Wen Zhengming, the top figure in Ming Dynasty!" Ni Yuanlu introduced while pointing at Wen Zhenmeng.

When Lu Xiangsheng heard Wen Zhenmeng's name, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've heard about the name for a long time, so I'm so lucky to meet you today!"

Wen Zhenmeng is very famous among scholars, firstly because of his background, and secondly because of his records.Of course, without this background, this record is nothing, after all, there are many people who have passed more exams than him.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't seem to be making fun of himself, Wen Zhenmeng cupped his fists at him and said a few polite words.

When Ni Yuanlu was about to introduce Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi had already clasped his fists and said, "Little brother Baiyu, I have admired your name for a long time, and it is like a thunderbolt. I am really lucky to meet you today!"

As for Lu Xiangsheng's name, Emperor Tianqi had heard of it long ago, and he had really admired his name for a long time, like thunder!But at this time, Lu Xiangsheng was not yet well-known, so it seemed inexplicable for Emperor Tianqi to say this.

Facing Emperor Tianqi, Lu Xiangsheng quickly said, "Don't dare, dare not!"

"Go home if you have anything to say! This is not a place for you to reminisce about the past!" Sun Zhixie looked at a few people, and immediately became angry, smiled disdainfully, and said impatiently.

Several people glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly, obviously they were all disappointed with Sun Zhixie.

Glancing at the woman named Guanshi Liu, Lu Xiangsheng said in a deep voice, "I will pay the 5000 taels of silver, and I will send someone to deliver it in the afternoon!"

Liu Guanshi was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect such a person to exist.

"No, how did this happen?" Ni Yuanlu on the side was startled and shook her head quickly.

"It's nothing for a friend to share money. Brother Nee, this is a good thing, how can it be delayed because of a little money! Even if it is loaned to Brother Nee, when Brother Nee is rich, he will just return it to the little brother! Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile.

Everyone around looked at Lu Xiangsheng up and down, this man in common clothes is not simple!Is it the son of a merchant?Scholars in the Ming Dynasty mostly wore silk, and only poor families did not wear it, like Ni Yuanlu.Lu Xiangsheng's selling price is 5000 taels, which naturally does not belong to this category.Then there are businessmen. Although they have strong financial resources, they are not allowed to wear silk and satin.However, no one would open their mouths to ask such a question, and few people are talking about it now.

If the decree of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is really followed, [-]% of the officials in the officialdom will be skinned and filled with grass. (to be continued..)
