For the rest of my life, I am lucky to know my old friend

As soon as Wu Youming left the Duke of Yan's mansion, he immediately went to another mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Luoyang talents Lu Ao, Lu Jiuniang, and Lu Ying standing waiting in front of the hall, and hurried forward. Saluted, said: "Brother Lu, Miss Lu."

Lu Ao reluctantly nodded, and led Wu Youming in. After the host and guest sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "How is Du Zhongping?"

Wu Youming said: "Of course it's very good. Lord Yan is very fond of him, and he is responsible for all official documents. Also, the congratulatory form he wrote to Duke Yan today also moved the sage and the emperor, and the sage specially issued an edict to let him go. He entered the palace once."

Hearing this, Lu Ao was shocked and said: "He has entered the palace, so His Majesty has said nothing."

"Hey, this." Wu Youming said shyly, "I don't know about that. After all, he has entered the palace, and I don't want to stay for long."

Hearing this, Lu Ao nodded distractedly, and said, "Very true, very true."

Lu Ying glanced at Lu Ao, hesitated to speak, but when Lu Ao saw her eyes, she spoke again: "Then what else? For example, about Nineteen Niang."

Wu Youming said: "It never occurred to me that he was actually a seed of infatuation, and he still remembers Nineteen Niang. I said, Brother Lu, as long as Nineteen Niang comes forward and heals it, it may not be impossible to get back together."

When Lu Ying heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly, "What did he say?"

Wu Youming thought for a while, and said: "He said that he still remembers the scene when he saw Nineteen Niangs at Ziweiguan."

Hearing the word "Ziweiguan", Lu Ying couldn't help being startled, she stood up immediately, turned her head to look at Lu Ao, her eyes were full of anxiety.

Lu Ao coughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu."

He barely managed a few more words, then asked his servants to give him a plate of gold and silver, and sent Wu Youming away.

After the people left, Lu Ying couldn't hold back anymore, and said directly: "Brother, what should I do?! He must know, he must know! He is going to threaten me!"

Lu Ao's face sank like water, after thinking for a while, he said, "Go see him first and hold him steady."

Lu Ying anxiously said: "How can this be done, I'm already engaged, how can I still meet my cousin?!"

Lu Ao said rudely: "If you don't hold him steady, let alone get engaged, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get married. Let's die together."

Lu Ying frowned, pulled the corners of her eyes, and looked so pitiful that she seemed to be crying but not crying, which made people think of infinite care.But Lu Ao looked at it, but just scolded: "Don't make up like this, it means that kid Du Heng is ignorant and will fall in love with you. If this is not harmonious, you can only continue to be a servant girl."

When Lu Ying heard this, she was so frightened that she withdrew her tears. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, brother, Du Heng is not a hard-hearted person anymore. I will persuade him."

"It's best to be like this." Lu Ao seemed to be compassionate, sighed with his hands behind his back, and said, "He has become a talent at a young age, so it is inevitable that he is not stable enough. The old man took action to teach him a little lesson for his future future. If he is sensible People, I should thank the old man."

Lu Ying looked at Lu Ao's beards swaying back and forth, like a goatee, which was quite funny, and she couldn't say any compliments, so she could only be silent.

Leaving this small mansion, Lu Ying pedaled away and was walking on the road when she was driven to the side of the road to let Duke Yan's car drive ahead.As soon as she saw the leader's guard of honor passing by, and then Zhu Lunhuagai's official car driving, Lu Ying suddenly shuddered, and looked out without caring about the lady's dignity, but she didn't see anything. His entourage is all on horseback, walking too fast.

She took a breath, and couldn't help but think in her heart that she seemed to be comforting, and also seemed to be begging, that Du Heng's lofty and withdrawn temper would not be changed if he did not go through a catastrophe. Said, we still help him.

After returning to the mansion, Du Heng finally recovered. Xue Chengye felt his palms warmed up a lot, and he held them tighter. He asked, "Zhong Ping, what did you see just now?"

"A carriage passed by." Du Heng said, "I'm actually hungry."

"Oh." Hearing Du Heng's perfunctory words, Xue Chengye couldn't help reaching out and rubbing Du Heng's cheeks until his cheeks turned slightly red before letting go, and said, "Don't lie to me."

Du Heng looked at him steadfastly, but said something irrelevant, saying: "If I tell you that I have taken off this layer of skin now, the inside is actually an evil spirit, are you afraid?"

Hearing this, Xue Chengye frowned, but took his hand and pressed it on his chest, and replied seriously: "If you are an evil ghost, just take out my heart, you should see the contents of the heart. It's you."

Du Heng pushed him, turned around and left, saying, "I'm really hungry."

Xue Chengye stepped forward to take his hand and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Du Heng stopped, took a look around him, and said, "Bear's paw!"

Xue Chengye laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "If you don't think it's sour, just bite me on the shoulder now."

"Get out!" Du Heng said, "I'm serious."

"Okay!" Xue Chengye responded, while directly hugging Du Heng, walked through the corridor, the flower hall, and returned to the warm pavilion of the main house.

Du Heng struggled, wishing he could kick him twice, but he couldn't use his strength in the air, so he gave up angrily, hooked his neck and kissed him once, chatting to satisfy his hunger.

The two had dinner together, and Xue Chengye took Du Heng to take a nap to catch up on sleep. Today, he had to read the congratulatory form and deal with the emperor's old man's inquiries. He was so busy that Xue Chengye didn't even have time to stand up and take a nap.But now that the beauty is in her arms, it is natural to lie on the beauty's lap and have a good rest. Anyway, no one dares to say that Yan Guogong's afternoon nap is indecent.

Du Heng lowered his head, looked at Xue Chengye who was already asleep on his lap, couldn't help but traced his eyebrows with trembling hands from the air, with a bit of careful tenderness and unconcealable sadness.Xue Chengye seemed to have sensitively sensed the change in the atmosphere, and turned over uncomfortably.Du Heng immediately withdrew his hand and continued to look down at the book, watching the handwriting fade away little by little.

When Xue Chengye woke up, he looked up and saw that Du Heng's face was covered with a book to block the light, and he himself fell asleep. Did Du Heng cry when he was dreaming? !He lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears on Du Heng's face. Fortunately, he didn't wake him up. He hugged him in his arms, feeling that the person in his arms changed his position and continued to sleep.

Xue Chengye, who was supposed to be satisfied, felt so distressed at this moment that he wanted to know what Du Heng saw in his dream, or what happened to him in the past year, and what made him restless in his sleep.He remembered his promise to Du Heng, squeezed his fist irritably, and waited for another seven days at most, and I will know clearly after seven days.

After the Chinese New Year, the business became more and more busy, and the old emperor specially invited Xue Chengye to Lishan. Du Heng had no official or job, so he couldn't accompany him, so he had to stay in the mansion.Xue Chengye was very depressing and asked people to pay attention, and he would ask when he came back.

When it was time to set off, Xue Chengye looked down at Du Heng, whose eyes were reddish in distress, and couldn't help regretting in his heart, because he wanted to part, so he couldn't help asking Du Heng too many times, and Du Heng responded enthusiastically to himself , one night to death lingering, upside down, it is too violent.

He put him down gently, and was about to go out to change clothes.However, Du Heng seemed to have never fallen asleep. He woke up as soon as he touched the pillow, leaned his head on one hand, looked at Xue Chengye with a smile, and said, "I haven't seen you in military uniform yet."

Seeing this, Xue Chengye couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his reddish cheeks, and said, "Okay, just wait."

When Xue Chengye came out in black armor, Du Heng couldn't help but gasped when he saw it. Xue Chengye, who was wearing black armor, killed Zhuang Yan. He was no longer a nobleman who hangs out with him on weekdays, but a real general on the battlefield. The golden-armored deity in the temple is also like the divine guard in the dream, solemn, unfamiliar, undeniable, trembling and awe-inspiring.

Since Xue Chengye took a big stride, he hugged Du Heng into his arms, and kissed him from the forehead. Du Heng insisted on clinging to the cold black armor, as if he could feel Xue Chengye's existence through the black armor.The hand wearing the heavy gauntlet slid all the way to his waist, Xue Chengye rubbed it reluctantly and said: "When I come back, Zhongping, I will wear the black armor to hug you, okay?"

Du Heng's face turned red all of a sudden, he rubbed his cheeks against the white feathers hanging on Xue Chengye's shoulders, and replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After the people left, Du Heng lay on the bed and turned over. Thinking that he had made many calculations and plans, and had various back-up plans, he grabbed the quilt in his hand and let out a long breath.

He got up, changed his clothes, let someone put in a carriage, and went out to inspect the private residence of Qin Desheng, the censor. Among the gifts sent to the Duke's mansion, Qin Desheng's gifts were compared with his eighth-rank official position. It was too rich, so rich that his annual salary might not even be enough.

After all, Du Heng was also the guest of Lord Yan, so Qin Desheng was very flattered by his arrival.As an official in office, Qin Desheng did not hesitate to salute Du Heng, a commoner in white, calling him a great talent.

With a gentle smile, Du Heng helped Qin Desheng up with his own hands, went into the hall and sat down, and after gossiping twice, Du Heng said with a smile: "I have always loved Danqing, and I heard that Qin Yushi's painting of flowers and birds is the best. I wonder if it is possible to ask Qin Yushi for a painting?"

Hearing this, Qin Desheng beamed with joy, stroked his beard, and said, "Mr. Du is too famous. I don't know what kind of painting Mr. Du wants?"

Du Heng smiled slightly, pretending to go to Qin Desheng to pour tea, and using the cover of his wide sleeves, he put a piece of writing paper folded into the shape of Fang Sheng in Qin Desheng's hand.

While drinking tea, Qin Desheng opened the writing paper and took a look. Halfway through, he looked up at Du Heng who was still drinking tea with a smile, and said, "Mr. Du, this painting is too difficult. Please forgive me..."

Hearing this, Du Heng still looked at him with a smile on his face, and when he heard the excuse, he didn't show any irritation, he just said: "Qin Yushi is cautious, I understand. But the word crisis is worth considering. If you are rich, how can you not take risks."

Qin Desheng smiled coldly and said, "But I don't know where the price comes from?"

Du Heng blew on the steam on the hot tea, and said calmly: "Look at the above, you can remember everything clearly. It can be said that they have grasped the truth. It is difficult for these people to get away."

"Yes, Mr. Du wants me to offend someone."

"Qin Yushi, the role of supervisory censor is to offend people." Du Heng drank the warm tea and said, "Since they are all offending people, why not offend those who can't get over?"

Qin Desheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked straight at Du Heng until the steam from the cup of tea blurred his face. Shaking his head, he quickly came to his senses and considered what Du Heng said in his heart. It seems that it is not that difficult to gain a clear name and an opportunity to make progress after joining these people, but he still hesitated.

Thinking of this, he showed a vague smile and said, "Does Lord Yan know that Mr. Du is here to buy paintings?"

Du Heng shook his head, and said: "The Lord is not so leisurely, this time I came to ask privately. However, if I buy a painting, I will look at it with him."

Qin Desheng let out a hiss, and was so startled that he was about to kneel down and said: "A clumsy pen can't get into the eyes of the Duke of the country. If you get a good word from the gentleman, I will be flattered."

Du Heng nodded slightly, and said, "You're welcome." After finishing speaking, he took out a bulging kit from his sleeve, put it on the table, and quickly pushed it towards Qin Desheng.

Qin Desheng pressed his hand quickly, and flexibly pulled the lace with his fingers, and round and shiny pearls rolled out of it. He took a breath, looked up at Du Heng, and said, "Hepu pearls?"

Du Heng waved his hand nonchalantly, and said: "The pearl is gentle and moist, just to moisten the pen, what does Yushi think?"

Qin Desheng nodded, covered the rolling pearls on the case with his wide sleeves, and said, "Sir, you're so insightful."

Du Heng smiled deeper, and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously, it's going to be late, and I have to say goodbye."

Qin Desheng hurriedly asked to stay: "Sir, let's eat here."

Du Heng shook his head and said, "I'm going to Da Ci'en Temple to have a fast."

Qin Desheng praised him a few more words, and took advantage of the opportunity to send Du Heng out.

The pine shade in Daci'en Temple was silent, and the ground was silvery white. Du Heng went to add some money for sesame oil, burnt incense, and began to eat vegetarian food in front of the Buddha.After eating, he turned his head and looked at the compassionate Buddha. Thinking of what he had just done, he couldn't help but find it funny and ironic. Looking at the flowing clouds in the sky outside the window, he wondered what happened to Xue Chengye.

On Lishan Mountain, Xue Chengye, who had just settled down and went to have a bath with acquainted generals, had just taken off his clothes. Looking at the expressions of his companions who wanted to laugh but held back, he guessed a bit that the traces of love last night were too much. No, he touched his chest, hissed, and thought to himself, Zhongping's teeth are so nice.

One of them asked with an ambiguous smile: "Did Xue Gong tame a very fierce filly last night?"

Xue Chengye smiled and did not speak. According to his temper, he would never mind letting everyone know who the person he likes is, so that the lover he puts in his palm will also be respected and loved by everyone, but considering Du Heng might not be willing, so he just laughed and said nothing.

After finishing the vegetarian meal, Du Heng waited for half a day, but the person he wanted to wait for never came, so he bid farewell to the host and returned home, returning tomorrow.

After waiting like this for a few days, the person he was waiting for finally arrived.In the secluded meditation room, just as he put down the bowl and drank tea to rinse his mouth, he heard the rustling of his dress, and when he turned around, he saw a graceful figure standing at the door.

Du Heng nodded, and said, "Ying Niang, come in and sit down." His tone was gentle and sweet, as if trying to drown people in it like honey.

As soon as Lu Ying came in, she lifted up the veiled hat, revealing a face as pretty as autumn water and hibiscus, with tears streaming down her eyelashes, she said in a sad tone: "Zhongping, I'm getting married, can't you let me go?"

The author has something to say:

What Du Heng did was actually bribery, good boy don't learn from it!This kind of bribery method is called elegant bribery. The usual elegant bribery method is that the businessman finds the shopkeeper of cultural relics, and the shopkeeper then goes to officials to buy calligraphy and paintings. The price proposed is naturally a bribe.As for the three festivals and two longevity, ice respect charcoal respect, or tribute respect, they are also very classic bribery methods, which almost became official customs or traditions in the later period.I won’t expand on it, but make another point, good boy, don’t learn this!
