Reborn Rongruo

Liu Changqing helped Zhang Lin to come to the stage, first saluted Cheng and De with a smile, and praised: "The two young masters are full of talent and quick-witted, and the winner of the Lantern Competition is in sight. Brother Zhang and I shouldn't bother you, but Brother Zhang said that he had to explain to the two of you..."

Liu Changqing looked at Zhang Lin as he spoke. Zhang Lin's illness seemed to be serious. Although he had been trying his best to smile, the forcibly drawn corners of his mouth looked uglier than crying.

Xuan Ye couldn't stand it at first, so he glanced at Zhang Lin and motioned him to speak quickly.

Zhang Lin also knew that seeing people with his sickly appearance was really impolite, so he quickly took a deep breath and said, "Brothers, to be honest, before the competition started, my mother had a life ahead of me. The jade carving lamp was given to a pair of lovers. Now I see that the two young masters are both scholars. I think they will serve the court in the future and have a bright future. If I don’t tell you this secret today, it is a trivial matter to give the lamp. If I miss the future of the two young masters Fame is not beautiful. Cough cough cough..."

Xuan Ye and Cheng De looked at each other, they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, Xuan Ye glared at Zhang Lin, and snorted, "According to you, even if we win the competition today, it will be for nothing? "

"No!" Zhang Lin quickly waved his hands, suppressed his cough, and said, "You two won the competition, so naturally there will be prizes for you. If you answer the last question, would you like to move to the humble house to see each other?"

Cheng De was afraid that Xuan Ye would agree, so he hurriedly gave him a hand.He himself is fine, but Xuan Ye is now a man of ten thousand gold, how can he go there easily? !So, he said: "Forget about the prizes. I see that you still have a lot of lanterns on this bamboo platform. How about this? If we win the competition, how about you give us all these lanterns?"

"This..." Zhang Lin and Liu Changqing were both taken aback for a moment, they looked at each other, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Why, don't you agree?" Xuan Ye glanced over impatiently, and immediately saw the backs of the two people shudder. They understand the reason why the capital is full of dignitaries, and it is precisely because they understand that when they met Cheng De and Xuan Ye After learning their talents, it is concluded that these two teenagers have a lot of background.At this moment, Zhang Lin had sent someone to inquire about their identities, and when he heard that Mr. Cheng was Nalan Chengde, the eldest son of Nalan Mingzhu, he immediately became concerned.Besides, there are so many rumors about the jade carving lamp, it's not that Zhang Lin wants to take this opportunity to make friends with these two young men in private, so as to convey the secret that has been suppressed in his heart to the court.

Now being stared at by Xuan Ye like this, Zhang and Liu didn't dare to say anything anymore, they hurriedly agreed, thinking about looking for an opportunity to invite them afterwards.

They nodded on one side, and Xuanye on the other side urged the questioning officer to come up with the question quickly. The last lantern riddle title is like this: "A monk meets a member student, and the two have a quarrel. In the end, the monk is not a monk, but the member student." Students are not members of students' type a word.

Almost after the question was finished, Xuanye said, "Reward!" He glanced at Chengde complacently, and seeing Chengde smiling at him with approval, the doting eyes made Xuanye's heart beat faster unconsciously took two beats.He blushed a little, turned his head to look at Zhang and Liu, and said, "Now these lanterns are all ours, right?"

Zhang Lin nodded hurriedly, "I gave it all to the young master!"

"Okay!" Xuan Ye was a little proud, grabbed Chengde and called out to Rong Ruo, and said, "Look, Rong Ruo, should we take these lanterns home or disperse them on the spot?" After speaking, he realized that Cheng De didn't answer for a while , Only then did he realize that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly looked over, and saw Chengde staring at Zhang Lin thoughtfully, frowning.

While Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he was also somewhat dissatisfied.What's so good about that sick child of Xin Dao that deserves Chengde's attention?With a snort, he waved his hand and said to the audience: "This friend and I can't take away so many lanterns. Why don't we all have fun together? Anyone who sees us today has a share. Come, come, everyone." Come to the stage to get one!"

Immediately there was a burst of cheers from the audience, and children from poor families jumped onto the stage like monkeys, grabbing the lanterns that had been coveted for several days.All of a sudden, the Green Bamboo Terrace was crowded with people, and it was even more lively than usual.

Jiayi got several more lanterns with peacock feathers on them, and finally stopped crying.Cheng De was worried that they would be scattered by the flow of people, so he ordered his servant to send them back home first, while he and Li Xuan protected Xuan Ye and retreated to the audience.As soon as they stood still, Liu Changqing supported Zhang Lin and approached them.

Xuanye blocked Chengde behind him on guard, and said impatiently, "What else do you need?"

Zhang Lin had no choice but to tell the truth, "I see that the two young masters are dressed in extraordinary clothes, and they must be the sons of officials. I really don't want to vomit the truth, but this is not the place to talk. I hope the two young masters can show their respect and move around! "

He said that for this sake, Xuanye and Chengde couldn't refuse it any longer. After discussing it, they chose the Liuquanju semicolon not far from here, which was Liu Changqing's store, and Zhang Lin naturally agreed.

Liuquan resides in the semicolon, in the private room on the top floor.

Zhang Lin closed the door, then knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried bitterly, "Master Nalan, forgive me! I just said those irrelevant things because I had no choice but to give you the jade lamp now. Go to the mansion, I have something to ask Mr. Nalan for help!"

Chengde had already felt Zhang Lin's behavior was abnormal before, but he really didn't expect him to find out his identity in such a short period of time, and after thinking about all the things before, he felt that this person was not very open and honest, and his displeasure could not be concealed on his face .But he has always been well-bred, so Dao didn't say anything, only let Zhang Lin get up to talk.

But Zhang Lin didn't dare to get up, and cried, "Zhang Lin has only met one true love in this life, but years ago..." He babbled about his relationship with the Orion's daughter, and finally said: "...that cottage has no love at all. It's not a copycat, it's the lair of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty! I took my servants there to ask for someone, and I saw the word 'Ming' clearly written on the banner of the cottage, what kind of incense is their master He also asked me to take out [-] taels of gold to redeem people. I am just a merchant, how can I have so much money! I have nowhere to go, so I had to ask the government for help, but who would have thought that after hearing what I said, the magistrate of Anping not only did not come forward to uphold justice, but sent I hit the sticks indiscriminately, and said that I was going to deceive the crowd, and I really had no choice, so I came to the capital..."

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Chengde, and found that the young man in front of him not only did not react in panic, but became more silent. The young master surnamed Huang looked at him with such a sharp gaze that he stabbed him like two steel knives. Zhang Lin shuddered and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak again.

This was not the first time that Zhang Lin felt scared in front of that Mr. Huang.For some reason, the aura that this young Mr. Huang exudes from time to time makes him inexplicably frightened. He is obviously only a teenager, but he has a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see everything. look straight at.

At this time, Chengde's unwavering voice came from above Zhang Lin's head, and he said, "This matter is very important, why do you tell me?"

Zhang Lin hurriedly explained: "At first, I didn't dare to bother you, but in the past few months after I came down to the capital, I have traveled so many ways and ended up getting nowhere. Today I saw you, so I had no choice but to make an appointment rashly. I hope you can help me next time!"

"Do you want me to tell my Ahma about you after I go back, so that I can say a few words for you in the court? But I think you are looking far away, and it would be better to throw a pleading letter in Dali Temple." efficient!"

Liu Changqing couldn't bear to watch, and after hearing Chengde's words, he explained: "Young Master Nalan may not know, how can Dali Temple care about such things now, Brother Zhang has already handed over the pleadings and a lot of money a few years ago. But it has been several months and there is no news, Brother Zhang has no choice but to ask the young master for help!"

Hearing the words, Cheng De glanced at Xuan Ye quietly, seeing his dark face, he already guessed that those officials really didn't report the matter, Xuan Ye really didn't know, and now he was probably thinking of the trouble of not being in charge matter.

Not wanting to annoy Xuan Ye too much, Cheng De was silent for a while, helped Zhang Lin up from the ground, and said, "This matter is of great importance. I will make a decision after I go back and report to Ama."

Seeing that Chengde finally agreed to help, Zhang Lin felt hopeful again, thanked them without hesitation, and sent the two of them out of the door dragging their sick bodies.
