Chapter 96

Lu qiaowen's foot is a faltering, waving his hand. Although his status in Daqian is extremely noble, he has never been served. In the Wei government, except that he did not cook in person, he basically did everything in his own courtyard by himself. Every morning after boxing, I personally clean the fallen leaves in the hospital, and then wipe the room. Then I go to have breakfast. I never leave others' hands.

Seeing Lu Que's appearance, Gu Qingcheng can't help laughing. She just makes fun of Lu que. She has known Lu que for a year. She can't know what kind of person Lu que is. He nudged Lu que on his back and said, "well, you go to clean it first. I'll ask the store to buy breakfast. I think you're hungry too."

"Good." Lu que nodded, but he didn't move. At this time, Gu Qingcheng had just got up and had not finished dressing. He was only wearing a Chinese dress. Lu que couldn't help looking straight at the beautiful figure of a flower girl.

Gu Qingcheng looked at himself with Lu Que's eyes and found something wrong with him. His face was red again. Although his heart was pounding, Gu Qingcheng didn't leave immediately. Instead, he made a circle in the same place and said, "is it good-looking?"

"Good to see." Lu nodded. He felt his throat a little dry at this time. Although he knew Gu Qingcheng was as beautiful as his name, he didn't feel anything after a long time of contact. At this time, seeing Gu Qingcheng's curvilinear and exquisite figure and the charm that he inadvertently revealed with a smile and a twinkle, people are all fascinated. At this time, he could not help but think of the description of Gu Qingcheng and Yu Tianxiang in the capital: "the emperor has a beautiful girl, and the imperial court accompanies Shu Heng. Hibiscus is fragrant and beautiful

"Go on." Gu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed, stretched out a finger on Lu qie'er's head and turned away with a reddish complexion.

Lu que saw Gu Qingcheng leave, but he also eased his mind, pushed the door open and went in. Although Gu Qingcheng said it was a small hot spring soup pool, it was absolutely no problem to accommodate seven or eight people to take a bath at the same time. There are two stone troughs in the South and north of the soup pool, one for water and the other for water. The water inlet is wider than the water outlet, but the water level in the soup pool remains unchanged. It takes a lot of thought to come to this hot spring.

Tired all night, Lu que didn't want to enjoy the decoration of the house. He undressed and went down to the soup pool for a bubble. He could not help sighing. He seemed to feel the pores of his whole body cheering. He was already a little tired. He felt drowsy when he was urged by the heat in the pool.

Thinking that Gu Qingcheng was still waiting for him to eat, Lu que sat down with his knees crossed. By the heat of the pool, he drove the Qi and blood in his body and ran the whole blood. Lu que feels that in this hot spring, Qi and blood run much faster than before. The heat that constantly infiltrates into the body from the pores speeds up the operation of Qi and blood.

By the time he felt tired, he had been soaking in the soup pool for half an hour. He had been scrubbing away the dust along the way. He wanted to soak for a while, but he began to play drums in his stomach. He was so hungry that he left the hot spring pool. A brand-new hunting suit was pulled out of the package and put on. Because the hair was not dry, there was no bundle of hair, so he went out.

"Are you Mr. Lu?" As soon as Lu Qiaogang walked out of the hot spring soup pool house, he saw a woman in an emerald green flowered skirt and a maid's dress standing under the steps of the door. She was not much older than herself.

"I am." Lu que looks at the woman curiously and doesn't know what she's looking for.

"The meal is ready. Mr. Lu, please come with me." Said the woman's right hand made a virtual lead gesture, see Lu lack move step, this just walked to the side to lead the road.

Although Lu que had just made a half circle in zuixiang house, he didn't watch the scenery carefully because he sneaked in and was afraid of being discovered. At this time, he followed the maid all the way and found that the rockery, water, trees and flowers of zuixiang house were arranged in a proper density and staggered layout. It can be described as three steps and one scene. This delicate and meticulous mind is not comparable to that of Wei government.

After walking along Yong road for a little while, Lu que is looking at the layout of zuixiang residence with great interest, only to find that the maid has stopped. And they have come to the main building of zuixiang residence, just because they are from the backyard of zuixiang residence. They are at the back of the main building, not the front door of the street. They were standing next to a staircase made entirely of scarlet wood.

"Mr. Lu, you can go straight up to the third floor from here. After you go up, go to the third room on your left. It says" listen to the spring hall ". I won't go up with you." The maid pointed to the stairs and said to Lu que.

"Well, thank you very much." Lu que thought that this should be the rule of zuixianju, so he didn't care about it. He said thanks to the maid.

"It's all what a slave should do. Please, young master." There was a smile on the maid's face. She was usually a high official, but she would not thank her little maid.

Lu que nodded to the maid again and went up the wooden stairs to the third floor. The maid said that it was easy to find the spring hall. Lu que went to the door and knocked on the door. After hearing Gu Qingcheng's voice, he pushed the door in.

"You're hungry. Come and taste this sweet spring dish, which is one of the four most delicious drunk dishes. It's made of sweet spring water. Let's see if it suits your taste." Gu Qingcheng saw that Lu que didn't tie up his hair. He was slightly stunned, but he didn't care. He went to a table by the window and sat down. As he spoke, he served him some dishes.

At this time, Lu kuocai found that the window was facing the lobby. Looking from the window to the lobby, there was a magnificent scene. The ornaments on the pillars and the carvings on the lattice of the lobby were all inlaid with gold and jade. In the middle of the lobby, there was a statue made of pure gold, which looked like a scholar. However, in the right hand of the statue, there was a tiger amulet, which was obviously the commander of the army.

"Who is this man?" Lu que asked, pointing to the gold statue as tall as a man.

"This is no regrets." Gu Qingcheng looked at the statue and said.

"Ren Gong, one of Shuangying?" Lu que looked at the statue and exclaimed. Looking at it carefully, he found that the gold statue was very similar to Ren wuhui statue in Shenghuang square, but the whole statue was made of gold and looked dazzling, so he didn't recognize it just now.

At the beginning of the country, there were three heroes and four gallants. They worked for the overall situation, three for government affairs, and four for officials. Shuangying Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui's status is higher than that of the three heroes and four heroes. However, the two men retired early, leaving only an empty Marquis's house in the capital. As for the Dark Phoenix Red Eagle who claimed to be Lin Sheng's descendants, the Royal Sanwei and Zongfu are still verifying his identity. Before the identity verification, they can't inherit Lin Sheng's throne.

"Is this the relationship between zuixianju and Ren Gonggong? Doesn't it mean that Ren Gong didn't leave his descendants in Daqian? " Lu que asked in a puzzled way.

"Ren Gong had a younger sister who married a side branch of the an family in Pingyang. Although he was talented, he was not valued by his family. So he went north to join Taizu. When Taizu founded the country, he once served as the prefect of Dongping. After resigning, he came to Qingquan city and opened the zuixiang residence, which has continued to this day. " Gu Qingcheng did not look at the statue again, and his tone seemed to be disdainful.

"I see." Lu nodded his head. He understood Gu Qingcheng's meaning. Zuixiang residence has been established for more than 200 years, and its fame is still on the top of Baizhen building, which is the first floor of the imperial capital. However, an family of Qingquan, who has been in business since his ancestors, has never been a military and political talent. Although it is well-known in the south of Jiajia, there are often some dirty things in his family, The reason why they are safe and sound up to now is that they have not been touched by others in the face of their ancestors.

"But it's fair to carry on zuixianju's business. All the dirty things are done by the side branches scattered all over Qingquan." Gu Qingcheng sighed. In fact, this kind of thing is nothing new in Daqian. Take the government of eight great powers for example. Except for the Lu family of Wei, who was almost wiped out and now has only one son of Lu Kuo, other local branches often have this kind of thing. It's just covered up.

More than two hundred years after the founding of the great Qian Dynasty, the newly rich people who rose in those years have passed on for more than ten generations, while the few have eight or nine generations. When the branches and leaves are scattered, there will always be several unfilial children. They are the main body, and they only have nominal control over the branches scattered all over the great Qian.

Gu Qingcheng knew that just last year, her father personally brought to justice a nephew of her family, who was more than ten years older than her. He was known as the government of Ding state. He bullied and bullied the local government. The local sheriff was soft tempered. He heard that he was a family member of Ding state, but he didn't dare to take charge of it. If it wasn't for his father's former subordinate who quit the army because of his age and went there to serve as a sheriff and reported the matter to his father, his father might not have known about it, The man doesn't know how long he'll be in trouble.

"Sister Qingcheng, this couplet is very interesting." Lu que had heard about Gu's family. Naturally, he knew Gu's sigh. He quickly changed the topic and pointed to a couplet in the hall.

The couplet was written on red silk in gold. It was delicate and flexible. It should have been written by a woman.

The first couplet reads: Qingquan Baihua wine, Xiangquan Wushan tea, drunk and forget home, Qin and forget worry.

The following couplet reads: sweet spring seasonal dishes, hot spring beauty bath, it's hard to ask for, it's hard to leave.

Horizontal is the name of the restaurant, drunk Xiangju.

"This is Ren Wuxu's handwriting, but it should not be the original one. It should have been written by rubbing later." Gu Qingcheng took a look at the couplet, then looked at Lu que, with a strange smile on his face, and said, "the clear spring wine, sweet spring vegetables and fragrant spring tea are right in front of you, but you just took a bath alone. You haven't experienced this hot spring beauty yet. Do you want me to call two girls for you in the evening? This hot spring is full of cream and soft jade. Don't you want to have a try

Lu que saw Gu Qingcheng with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but dangerous eyes flashed in his eyes. Gu Qingcheng hasn't called his brother Lu for a long time. At this time, it is estimated that he is trying to say so. He shakes his head.

Lu que thought of Gu Qingcheng's dress in the morning and said, "how can the beauty of hot spring compare with sister Qingcheng?"

"You are sensible." Gu Qingcheng picked up a peeled shrimp and put it in Lu Que's bowl. He was obviously very satisfied with Lu Que's answer.

This sweet spring dish of zuixiangju really deserves its reputation. In addition, he walked all night in the mountains and was really hungry. Most of the dishes on the table went into Lu Que's stomach. At last, Gu Qingcheng stopped eating, but he just laughed for Lu que.

"You've been on the boat for four days, and last night you've been on the boat all night. Let's have a rest." After dinner, they return to the courtyard where Gu Qingcheng lives. Gu Qingcheng pushes Lu que into the room next to her bedroom and says a word. He takes a pot of roasted pork and goes back to the room. Obviously, it's for the white wolf king and the white jackdaw.

Lu Que's body is not very tired, but his spirit is really tired. Now he is full, and his eyelids fight. He doesn't take off his clothes, so he falls down on the bed and sleeps.

When Lu que wakes up, Mei Mei stretches and looks at the sun in the sky. She finds that it's afternoon and she's about to open the door, but she finds that Gu Qingcheng brings in a set of tea sets.

"I think it's time for you to wake up and taste the tea made in Xiangquan, but it's not Wushan tea. It's Liuyun tea I got from my second uncle." Gu Qingcheng took the tea set to the table in front of the window and put it away. Behind her, a man dressed as a young man brought in a charcoal stove with a clay pot for boiling water.

It's the first time that Lu que saw Gu Qingcheng making tea. He lifted his hands lightly and orderly step by step. It has a different aesthetic feeling. It's like a fairy in heaven coming out of a picture scroll, which makes the tea full of poetic vitality.

"Tea is good, water is good." Lu que took the tea cup from Gu Qingcheng, sniffed it a few times at the end of his nose and drank it in three mouthfuls. He could not help feeling a different fragrance Lingering between his lips and teeth, and his mind became clear. He could not help but praise it. Although it was the same tea, the taste now was better than what he had drunk when he was in the imperial capital. The name of Xiangquan really deserves its name.

Lu que looks at Gu Qingcheng with a smile and says, "sister Qingcheng's craftsmanship is better. I didn't expect that sister Qingcheng also likes tea ceremony. The fragrance of tea can't be brewed by ordinary people."

"If you like, drink more. The Liuyun tea doesn't produce much. I only have one or two, but it's enough for you." Gu Qingcheng added a cup of tea for Lu que.

"I'll trouble you, sister Qingcheng."

After three courses of tea, Lu que asked, "sister Qingcheng, have you ever been to Qingquan city before?"

"I came to Tianxiang once before, but I didn't stay much. The year before last, there was an earthquake in Ningxiang, South China. We are going to see the disaster situation and relief situation there and see if we can help. " Gu Qingcheng tidied up the tea set on the table and said, to Lu Que's surprise, the action of watching Gu Qingcheng was not like that of a noble woman from the government. It seemed that she often did such things, and Gu Qingcheng gave people a sense of concentration and tranquility when doing these things.

"You want to go around the city?" Gu Qingcheng cleaned up the tea set and wiped the table again. He looked at Lu Que and said.

"Yes, I heard that there is a mountain in the southeast of Qingquan. There is a spring on the mountain. The spring water is clear and goes down the mountain, so it's called Qingxi. I want to go and have a look, but it's afternoon now. Maybe I can't come back before the gate is closed." Lu que looked out of the window and said that he was also interested in the buildings of the past dynasties, such as the ancient Qingquan pagoda nearby, but he preferred mountains and rivers.

"There's nothing wrong anyway. You can go if you want. As for the time, don't worry about it." Gu Qingcheng says with a smile that her second uncle is commander Zuo Honghu Wei. It's not wartime now. Even if the gate is closed, she can come in.

"Good." Lu said happily. After returning to Daqian, he stayed in Qianyuan city. Even if he went to Tingtao Lake in Danshan before, he had some other thoughts. He didn't really relax and have a good tour.

Although Qingquan city was once the great Xuandi capital, its scale is still not as big as Qianyuan City, which is known as a giant city. No matter in terms of population or market, it can't be compared with Qianyuan city. Lu que has no interest when he looks at the market leading to the east gate. On the contrary, Gu Qingcheng is interested in listening to the vendors introduce the unique specialties of Qingquan city.

Qingxi mountain is not far away from the east gate of Qingquan city. They rented a carriage at the East Gate's chariot and horse shop. Less than half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of Qingxi mountain.

The simultaneous interpreting of Qingxi is as clear as rumor. Lu lacks his hand to reach the stream, and feels very cold. Gu Lu sees his action in the stream and reaches into the stream, picking out the unusual clean pebble washed by the stream in the stream.

Just when they wanted to go up the mountain along the stone steps to have a look at the scenery in the mountains, they suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and soon heard a heavy sound like thunder in their ears.

"It's the thunder ride." Gu Qingcheng pointed to the South and said.

Lu que also found that there was a huge smoke rising on the southern official road, and the sound of thunder and drums came from the south.

Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng can't help looking at each other. Galloping thunder heavy riding is a unique branch of the army. The galloping thunder beast, with sharp horns on its head and scales on its body, is about eight feet high, about two feet long and weighs about one kilo. The galloping thunder beast has excellent endurance, can carry heavy armor for long-distance attack, and its speed is comparable to galloping horse. It is a sharp weapon in the battle, so the galloping thunder army gets its name, However, the size of the beast is twice as big as that of ordinary horses, but its food intake is ten times more than that of horses. Therefore, even among the 300000 troops, there are only about 50000 heavy riders. At this time, according to the sound, there are nearly 1000 heavy riders.

Always guarding the southern border of Daqian -- how could benlei Chongqi suddenly appear here?
