Chapter 259： Come to the Mirage Pavilion!

The Qinhuai River is divided into four sections, and each section has a super-painted boat as the core.

The river section occupied by the paintings of the mirage pavilion is completely different from the Biyun pavilion. The Biyun pavilion is bustling and noisy. The mirage pavilion is better than the first-class beauty of the scenery. The great mirage pavilion is located in a huge Below the cliff, it looks like a pavilion built on the cliff from afar.

The landscape of Jiangnan is so soft, but the landscape here is not so impressive. It was the first time that Lu Zheng came here, and couldn't help being shocked by the scenery here.

His Royal Highness Pu's treat was amazing. Lu Zheng's boat rippled on the river and entered the area of ​​the mirage pavilion. An exquisite and gorgeous painting boat approached immediately.

On the painting boat, there was a woman with a graceful temperament. The woman Yingying saluted Lu Zheng and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Lu Zheng, Jiangning?"

Lu Zheng's heart was stunned. You must know that the Qinhuai River is a place of wind and moon, but the woman in front of you has a graceful temperament.

Lu Zheng didn't dare to make any trouble, and respectfully replied: "It's Lu Zheng underneath!"

"Master Lu, please move the bottle to draw the boat. The prince has already prepared a banquet and is waiting for the master alone!" the woman said obediently.

While she was talking, a servant immediately set up Lu Zheng's ladder to board the ship, and Lu Zheng easily boarded the painting boat, and the painting boat carried Lu Zheng close to the mirage pavilion.

The Mirage Pavilion is as luxurious as a palace. Where Lu Zheng walks, the ground is covered with fluffy red carpets, and there are maids waiting on both sides.

The leader was replaced by a father-in-law. The father-in-law was only about 30 years old. He didn't need a white face. He spoke with a high-pitched voice. He was also very polite to Lu Zheng. He said:

"Haha, I didn't expect the famous Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng to be so young, really a young talent!"

Lu Zheng smiled indifferently, arched his hands at the other party, and then stuffed a silver ticket past without a breath of fireworks. The other party was obviously taken aback, but still skillfully took the silver ticket in his hand.

He looked at Lu Zheng sideways, his eyes were already obviously different.

It wasn't because Lu Zheng had given him silver. As his identity, he hadn't paid attention to the silver. The key was that Lu Zheng seemed to know these routines at a very young age, which was really rare.

Jiangnan is no better than the capital. There are very few eunuchs in Jiangnan, just a few eunuchs stationed there. In addition, there are a group of eunuchs who are in charge of Puwang Mansion.

These eunuchs are all under the management of the capital, which means that the eunuchs in the capital and the eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River actually belong to a system. In theory, the **** in front of you may be transferred to the capital!

Lu Zheng knew so much about the routines of the ministers, naturally because of the relationship with Master Yan. Yan Lao’s teaching to Lu Zheng focused on these aspects. Therefore, Lu Zheng’s behavior is not like a baby at all, but it feels like An old man who has lived through the rivers and lakes for a long time.

The eunuch's surname is Ma, and he is the confidant of His Royal Highness King Pu. Although King Pu has no real power, he is nominally the owner of the Southern Imperial City. The **** Ma is naturally in charge of all the affairs of the palace's inner court.

In the twenty-fourth yamen of the inner court of the capital, the **** Ma belongs to the most powerful director of the courts. Although he is in the south of the Yangtze River and his influence cannot reach the capital at all, he still has considerable authority in the south of the Yangtze River.

As he walked, he talked to Lu Zheng and spoke well. In this way, the two climbed up the steps and walked to the highest level of the mirage pavilion.

On the top floor of the Mirage Pavilion, there is a huge banquet hall. At this time, the banquet hall is full of people.

Lu Zheng glanced over and saw a lot of talented people. It was really dark. Among the many people, Lu Zheng saw a familiar face.

Master Xuezheng Su Qing was here, Ruan Shaolin was there, and Li Mu, and Lu Zheng couldn't help being surprised when he saw so many people. He thought that King Pu's banquet was his alone, but he didn't expect so many people.

His expression was still calm, and when he walked to the door, Eunuch Ma suddenly pulled his neck and yelled: "Here, Master Lu Zheng, Jiangning!"

This shout immediately caused a commotion in the audience. Many talented men stood up and looked over here. Lu Zheng had to step through the door quickly, without squinting, and walked to the front of the five-clawed python seat where His Royal Highness Pu was sitting, respectfully. Kneeling and saying:

"Lu Zheng, a student from Jiangning, has seen His Royal Highness Pu Wang!"

King Pu squinted at Lu Zheng and laughed. His laughter was full of metal texture. His clothes were all first-class, and he deserved to be a nobleman of Tianhuang and the blood of the royal family.

"Flat!" King Pu raised his hand, Lu Zheng stood up, and then King Pu made a move that shocked the audience. He actually stood up, walked in front of Lu Zheng, and said:

"Brother Zheng, speaking of me, I have been with you for a long time! It's amazing, I won a lot of glory when I first showed off in the Qinhuai River, and compared with Li Mu, the number one talented man in the palace, the Lu family has come out of Lin'er!"

Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Return to the prince, the students are terrified and ashamed. Many rumors outside are spreading falsehoods and should not be taken seriously. At Biyun Pavilion that day, it was purely a misunderstanding. Brother Li Mu and I were only first acquaintances. , Categorically there is no such thing as Douwen.

As for the girl Fan Duoduo, it happened at the right time. However, when two words came out, many people thought about it, adding fuel and jealousy. The rumors are so untrue! "

When Lu Zheng spoke, King Pu kept staring at him, his gaze was not taken away from him. At this moment, let alone a sixteen-year-old boy, even if it is an official below the first or third rank, he will definitely be nervous and inexplicable.

Look at the people present, look at the hospitality standards of His Royal Highness King Pu, today’s talented scholars, whether they are the prince’s doormen like Li Mu or Ruan Shaolin, everyone looks cautious and cautious.

However, looking at Lu Zheng's expression, calm and calm, he is much higher than all the talents present, and the expression of King Pu remains unchanged, but he admires Lu Zheng greatly in his heart.

The location of the banquet had already been arranged. Lu Zheng, unfortunately, sat next to Ruan Shaolin, while Su Qing sat in front of the two.

This arrangement did not deliberately highlight Lu Zheng, but from a certain angle, Lu Zheng's position seemed to be almost parallel to that of Su Qing. In fact, everyone could see that King Pu took Lu Zheng quite seriously.

You must know that Su Qing’s identity is extraordinary. Regardless of his background in the Su family in Beijing, his status as an academician in Zhili cannot be underestimated. It is important to know that today Wang Pu banquet is not an official, but a young leader in the Jinling academic circle. Su Qing appeared here, almost no one could drink him in a tie, but now Lu Zheng's position is only half a step behind him, this position is much more conspicuous than Li Mu's position!

Lu Zheng took a seat, turned his head to look at Ruan Shaolin, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shaolin, don't come here all right!"

Ruan Shaolin's face was rather ugly, he snorted softly, and said, "Lu Zheng, aren't you facing Biyun Pavilion? Why are you here? This is the Mirage Pavilion!"

Lu Zheng said faintly: "Brother Ruan, didn't your Ruan family also hold the girl? Why did Brother Ruan come to the Mirage Pavilion? If Brother Ruan can come, I can come naturally, don't you think? "

Ruan Shaolin let out a long sigh, holding back very much.

Facing Lu Zheng, he really developed a sense of powerlessness from his heart. When he was in Yangzhou, he refused to accept Lu Zheng. As a result, Lu Zheng was severely taught by Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng made a poem, and no one in the audience dared to write a poem. , That kind of situation he remembered hard.

After coming to Jinling, Ruan Shaolin's first fame was lost because of Lu Zheng's poem. Lu Zheng's poem "Linjiang Immortal. The Rolling Yangtze River East Passes Water" is indeed much higher than his painstaking work. Even if Ruan Shaolin is extremely sad and indignant, he has to swallow the bitter fruit of shame.

Ruan Shaolin is a young genius and has never convinced anyone, but after encountering Lu Zheng, he has been frustrated repeatedly. The sense of despair in his heart once made him collapse. Now, Lu Zheng is sitting next to him. Know how far he collapsed at this time.

In the embarrassing atmosphere, the banquet finally began. King Pu raised his glass and said: "Dear Jinling talents, today this king is hosting a banquet in the Mirage Pavilion. I don’t need to say that everyone can understand its intentions. The girls in the Mirage Pavilion like talents since ancient times. Beautiful women love talents, and it will be the Yangzhou Oiran Contest soon. Do you know who the top girl in My Mirage Pavilion is this time?"

"Hehe, you are not in a hurry, let me take it for granted, today we will drink first, I will toast you all with this glass of wine, let's do it first!" His Royal Highness Pu Wang laughed.

Among the royal family, King Pu is a prince with a good reputation and a very clever prince. He is the younger brother of the current emperor, and there is no chance of real power in this life. He knows this well, and at the same time he is content with the status quo.

The same is the prince, the two sons of the current emperor, Qin and Qi, are completely different. As long as the prince does not ascend to the throne for a day, the two princes will still have the opportunity to replace them. Therefore, the style and simplicity of Qin and Qi Wang is totally different.

Today’s scene is where King Pu is the boss, but what is secretly implemented is King Qin’s will. Lu Zheng quietly toasts, thinking about today’s situation in his heart, but he really has no idea for a while.

After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the bold talent began to stand up and ask:

"His Royal Highness, you also sold it at Guanzi today. I waited very anxiously. We heard that the girl Li Qianqian in the mirage pavilion is both talented and beautiful. Today we are all in the name of the girl Li Qianqian. The first one!

There are so many talented people present who support the girl Qianqian. I believe that girl Qianqian has our support. This time the first place in the Jinling Oiran Competition must be the girl Qianqian! "

As soon as this talented man spoke, he immediately drew everyone's response. For a while, every one of you and me echoed. Lu Zheng looked calm, but he sneered in his heart.

He has been a human for two lives, and I don't know how many routines he has experienced. The routine in front of him does not seem to be wise in his eyes.
