Leaving now? I haven't taken advantage of anything yet! Mr. Lin felt disappointed. He stood for a while and was about to move forward when he heard the sound of wheels and a carriage slowly driving over. The rider jumped down and said, "Sir, did you call for the taxi?"
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "It's me, it's me! Uncle, where is the person who called you for a ride just now?"
"You're talking about that lady?" Handlebar took out a silver coin from his arms: "She's such a good person. She gave me such a big silver coin and asked me to come and pick you up. Why, you're not on the same page as her. "
Mr. Lin nodded secretly. His anger was effective. No matter what fairy or goddess she was, he would never give her a good look. As the saying goes, if you don't fight for three days, you can go to the house and uncover the tiles. Women must not be used to it. They have to be beaten, scolded and loved at the same time.
"Oh, she is a servant girl of my family. She may have gone to do other things on my wife's orders." Mr. Lin chuckled and looked around. He didn't see Ning Yuxi hiding anywhere, so he He boarded the carriage and got into the carriage: "Uncle, you know Prince Cheng's Mansion, let's go there for a walk!"
Seeing that the young man was so kind and approachable, Xiangzi became bolder. He gently lowered the curtain and said, "King Cheng, I know that he is a well-known wise king. He is kind-hearted and kind to the people around him." , everyone said that if he becomes the emperor, we people will be blessed -" He stopped hurriedly in the middle of the sentence, obviously realizing that he had violated a taboo, and said with a smile: "You are just following the old man's nonsense, sir, please don't Take it seriously."
"What did you say?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously: "I turned my back just now and didn't hear anything. Can you say it again?" Handlebar smiled gratefully and hurriedly drove the carriage away.
Prince Cheng's residence is far away from the imperial palace, echoing from north to south. It occupies an extremely wide area, perhaps dozens of acres. From a distance, the red tiles, high walls, pavilions and pavilions make it very majestic. The house given to Lin Wanrong by the emperor was already considered a big place, but compared with this palace, it was not at the same level. The only thing that could compare with it was probably the imperial palace.
There are two huge lanterns hanging in front of Prince Cheng's door, and a pair of purple gold rings are fastened on the tall vermillion-lacquered door, with a shining golden plaque reading - Prince Cheng's Palace!
When Lin Wanrong got out of the car, Prince Cheng was already waiting at the door. He looked at him with fists in his hands and said with a smile, "Master Lin is coming to our house. I am sorry to welcome you from afar. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Oh, what did the prince say?" Lin Wanrong chuckled: "I took the liberty to come to your house to disturb you. I should be the one to say sorry. Oh, young prince, you are here too. Long time no see, you look so good. Yushu Linfeng is becoming more and more handsome, almost as good as me."
Zhao Kangning's handsome cheek twitched. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest in my house. My father has to go out to greet you in person. It is appropriate for Kang Ning to wait here."
Lin Wanrong walked up to him and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Young prince, you are so polite. We have known each other since we were in Jinling, so we are old acquaintances. Why are we so strangers? Old prince, young prince, please -" He turned his back on guests and humbly asked Wang Cheng and his son to go first, and the three of them entered the house.
King Cheng is the only direct brother of the current emperor, so one can imagine his noble status. The corridor is brightly lit with lanterns and colorful lanterns. There is a gold lantern every three steps and a glazed lamp every five steps. Flowers are everywhere, and servants are gathered everywhere. lively!
Seeing Lin Wanrong looking around as he walked, as if he had never seen the world, Zhao Kangning smiled contemptuously, and King Cheng also glanced at him lightly and said nothing.
"Hey, old prince, what is that?" Lin Wanrong pointed at a strange scene in the distance and said curiously.
Prince Cheng and his son looked up and saw a huge pool not far from the garden. A huge wooden windmill was slowly turning, pumping out the water from the pool, throwing it high, and then falling into the pool, making a splash. A beautiful splash of water. The windmill is driven by human power. Three strong men continuously push the stirring rod to sweep the water into the sky.
"Oh, this is a waterwheel that I saw when I was guarding the border in Yunnan in the past. I liked it very much at the time. After returning to Beijing, I asked some craftsmen to make one. This waterwheel will turn on when there is wind. It will rotate slowly and throw out the water in the pool. It is extremely beautiful. I named him Feng Sheng Shui Qi," King Cheng said with a smile.
"Is it prosperous?" Lin Wanrong nodded and gave a thumbs up: "The old prince is indeed knowledgeable and much better than me. If you want to name me, it's more like calling me an old cow."
Zhao Kangning smiled coldly, what kind of bastard are you? You are just a little servant, a servant among servants. In the past, you were not even worthy of carrying my shoes. How can you compare with my father.
"Hey, old prince, what is this? What a big snake!" Lin Wanrong pointed at a nearby landscape and sighed. It was a snake-like animal carved from a tree trunk, lying sideways on a small stream. It had thick and long limbs, a horn on its head, many beards around its mouth, evil eyes, teeth and claws, and an extraordinary aura. The body is also inlaid with golden scales made of bright yellow gold, which is really impressive.
"This is a small golden dragon that I asked the craftsmen to carve in my spare time for decoration." King Cheng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.
"Oh," Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "It turned out to be a carved little golden dragon. Old prince, the name Feng Shengshui gave you just now is very good. I wonder if you, the old man, gave this little golden dragon a name?"
"This is not available for the time being." King Cheng smiled and said, "Master Lin is so interested, why not give it a name?"
Master Lin smiled shyly: "Well, this is not good. I have little knowledge and experience, so I am afraid of scaring everyone by choosing a name. There are water, fish, and a golden dragon in this creek, so why not call it it?" It's a mixed bag, very appropriate, hehe!"
Zhao Kangning couldn't bear it anymore and snorted: "What's the matter of 'a mixture of fish and dragons'? This is called dragon trapped in shallow water. My father has already given the name."
"Oh——" Mr. Lin opened his eyes wide and prolonged his voice with a look of surprise: "It turned out to be called 'Dragon trapped in shallow water', really knowledgeable! 'Wind and water rise', 'Dragon trapped in shallow water', tsk tsk, What do these two mean? Alas, I have been reading too much recently and my mind is broken. I can't remember it at the moment. "
When Zhao Kangning spoke impulsively, he knew something was wrong. Prince Cheng gave him a majestic look, and the young prince did not dare to speak again. He was standing next to Lin Wanrong at this time, and a faint smell of tobacco came. Lin Wanrong was shocked and took a deep look at Zhao Kangning. No wonder those Turkic bastards are so relaxed and happy, it turns out they have a hidden agenda! I really didn't do them wrong by giving them a French cannon.
Master Lin thought hard for a long time. He sighed: "Well, speaking of which, the emperor also invited me to visit the inner courtyard of the palace a few days ago. But compared with the prince, the scene and the momentum were, tsk tsk -"
"How is it?" King Cheng's eyes flashed and he asked softly.
"Except for the room being a few inches larger than here, everything else in the palace is far behind. There are no golden lanterns, no glazed lamps. There is no prosperity, and there is no such vivid little golden dragon." Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed. :, 'The dragon is trapped in the shallow water', 'The wind is rising in the water'! Old prince, it seems that the emperor's life is very stressful! "
"Really?" King Cheng laughed: "Mr. Lin, let's not delay here any longer. Let's go into the back room quickly. The adults are still waiting for us."
The three of them went straight to the living room, where there were sandalwood tables and chairs and a big red carpet. The jade inlays and carved railings are magnificently decorated. The hall has already been filled with fine wine and delicacies, and dozens of beautiful maids are waiting on the side, which is charming and special.
There were already several people sitting in the guest area. Mr. Lin looked at them one by one, but there were many unfamiliar faces and few familiar ones. In fact, although he became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he had a vacant position. Apart from Xu Wei and Li Tai, he knew nothing about the civil and military affairs of the dynasty.
"Hey, Brother Su Zhuangyuan, are you here too?" Finally, he saw an acquaintance sitting on the seat near the top. Lin Wanrong immediately showed a sincere and friendly smile on his face and greeted him warmly.
Su Mubai nodded to him as a return gift, and King Cheng smiled and said: "Master Lin, the people I am hosting today are all my colleagues in the court, and there is nothing formal about it. Come, come, come, you can sit here. Bar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he personally pulled Lin Wanrong to the top of the table for the host and guests. Mr. Lin was shocked, "Oh, the old guy is cheating. Among all the ministers, prime ministers, and bachelors in this room, none of them are first-class officials." He chose me, a deputy department-level cadre, to sit on the top seat. Didn't he deliberately embarrass me? Mr. Lin laughed and said: "Your Majesty, this top seat should naturally be reserved for the most distinguished guests. I'd better not sit down. I'll get sores on my butt!"
King Cheng smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Lin, you are very polite. You are my most distinguished guest. At a young age, you were favored by the Holy Emperor and became the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You were also personally inscribed by the Emperor as 'The No. 1 Ding in the World' and the Holy Family." Zhilong, no one can surpass you. In time, it will be easy for Mr. Lin to be granted the title of general and prime minister. It is not surprising that he would be granted the title of a prince with a different surname. Tell everyone, if you don't take the seat, who else will come? "
"Yes, yes, it's time for Mr. Lin to take your seat." All the officials in the venue started making noise together, with different expressions in their eyes, including ridicule, disdain, envy, and jealousy. King Cheng glanced at Su Mubai and saw that he was not squinting. He raised the pot to fill the wine glass, raised his head and poured it into his neck. [Heavenly Kiss Hand Beat]
"Well, what I am best at in my life is sex. Sitting on the banquet is really not my specialty. However, since you adults think highly of me, I will sit down reluctantly. The emperor will blame me someday There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the lack of etiquette, everyone must bear witness for me." Lin Wanrong said with a troubled expression, and everyone responded in response, urging the humble Lord Lin to sit at the head of the table.
Seeing Lin Wanrong sitting down, Prince Cheng and his son also sat down at the main table. Wine and delicacies were served one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Cheng glanced at it and laughed loudly: "This is the first time since the beginning of spring this year that I have hosted a banquet for all my colleagues. Please relax and have fun. Come on -"
As soon as he clapped his hands, more than a dozen beautiful women walked out of the door. They walked to everyone's table with smiles and saluted each other. Several other women hugged pipa, silk and bamboo, and played music. Under the influence of the music, the adults gradually relaxed and started laughing with the beautiful women around them. For a while, laughter was endless and the atmosphere was very lively. On the other hand, Mr. Su Mubai, the newly promoted number one scholar, was serious about the beauties around him. The two of them were drinking alone, which seemed a bit out of place.
King Cheng looked at Su Mubai, then glanced at Lin San, with a sneer on his lips.
Mr. Lin had already eaten game at the Hu people's place this afternoon. Sitting at the top and having everyone's eyes on him, he felt uncomfortable. Although the woman accompanying him with a drink had a pink face and rosy cheeks, and she looked pretty, he was a little less interested. But seeing that everyone was having fun, he also touched the girl's little face and said flirtatiously, "Little sister, how old are you this year?"
"I'm sixteen now." The little sister lowered her head and said shyly.
"Sixteen? I can't stop looking at it!" Mr. Lin stared at her breasts and swallowed his saliva: "Are you already so big at sixteen? I don't think others can grow as big as you at twenty-six."
"Sir, you are so evil." The little sister gave a few gentle tweaks, then threw herself into his arms and started acting coquettishly.
Damn it, my twenty-six-year-old sister is here to act cute with me. Do you think I don't know the goods? This old guy, King Cheng, had his conscience eaten by dogs. He invited me to sit on the throne, but he dared to pass it off as something inferior. Pretending to be young, do you think I am the first brother who comes out to hang out for the first time?
Master Lin chuckled, drank the wine in one gulp, and allowed his "little sister" to rub and twist on his body. He looked majestic and unmoving.
King Cheng watched all directions and saw that although Lord Lin was chatting and laughing with the woman next to him, he had no intention of doing anything, so he smiled and said: "What, Lord Lin, could it be that this girl is not to your taste?"
"My taste is quite unique, and ordinary people can't serve me." Lin Wanrong smiled and raised his glass: "Old Prince, I'd like to toast you, your 'dragon trapped in shallow water' and 'wind and water rise' call me a lot of knowledge." "
King Cheng drank the cup with a smile and said: "Don't panic, Mr. Lin, there will be more exciting things later." He tapped his palms lightly, and the silk and bamboo in the field suddenly stopped together. Even Huanchang, who was teasing with everyone, The women also fell silent. The place suddenly became extremely quiet.
"Dong——" The sound of the strings sounded softly, like a small hammer striking everyone's hearts. The sound of the strings gradually became louder, like jade beads falling on a plate, crisp and clear to the ears.
A female voice sang softly:
"The water depth of humanity is not even half as deep as lovesickness.
There is still an end to the sea water, and there is no limit to the longing for love.
Carrying the harp to a high building, the building is empty and full of moonlight.
Playing the love song, the strings suddenly broke. "
At some point, a white screen appeared in the venue, and a curvaceous, plump and attractive figure fell through the screen into the eyes of everyone, adding a lot of mystery. The voice of the woman behind the screen was clear and clear, as if it could penetrate jade, beating drums and ringing bells. Along with the continuous music of the piano, the interpretation of this lovesickness was so touching and touching.
There were all talented people in the audience. Just by listening to this song, they knew that this woman was not an ordinary person. Looking at her graceful figure and moving curves, they immediately started whispering to each other.
King Cheng smiled mysteriously and said: "You don't have to guess, this is not a celebrity in the Bada Hutongs. How can those vulgar fans in the Bada Hutongs be compared with this beauty."
With a wave of his hand, the screen folded up automatically, and a charming figure appeared in front of everyone. I saw this woman wearing a lavender gown and a thin silk scarf covering her face. The figure is like a weak willow supporting the wind, swaying gently, with a slender waist, large breasts and hips, outlining an infinitely beautiful curve. Just by looking at this figure, one can tell that this woman must have a peerless appearance.
The woman's figure is calm, she can stand freely, and she is elegant yet has enlarged breasts and perky butt. She is indescribably seductive and charming.
King Cheng himself was stunned for a long time, with a trace of fascination flashing in his eyes, and then showed a trace of firmness, and said with a smile: "Today is a good day to go to the pavilion and enter the palace. Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery tonight, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. , I will give you a great gift. This lady is a beautiful woman like a fairy. She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, swords, and halberds. No ordinary person can be her opponent. If you can win the beauty's smile, you can be her guest!"
A guest? The hundred officials in the court usually have five or six people in the court, but when they come down from the court, they are all suave and consider themselves very special. Seeing this fairy-like woman right in front of me, if I could spend a night with her, I would definitely be happier than a fairy.
"Your Majesty, how do you make a beautiful woman smile?!" asked an old man with a big belly.
King Cheng smiled and said: "
Well, it all depends on your ability. You can tell jokes, dance, sing, and use all kinds of martial arts. You can do whatever it takes to make her laugh. This lady said that a good night is too short and a smile cannot be bought with a lot of money. Whoever makes her laugh sincerely will be her guest. "
Everyone was talking about it immediately, and it was not difficult to make a beautiful woman smile, even if it were an ordinary acquaintance. But this woman who suddenly appeared has an unknown background and unknown personality. It may not be that simple to make her smile.
Damn, is this okay? Master Lin stared at him with big eyes. King Cheng looked at him with a mysterious smile and said softly: "Mr. Lin, don't you have a unique taste? How about this lady? Can this lady meet your taste?"
"Alas!" Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, I am really a very serious person, and I have never been a flirt. Oh, by the way, I made this young lady laugh. I can really be her guest. Are you blackmailing me, my lord?"
"I keep my word." King Cheng's eyes flickered and his face sank into the water: "If you make her smile, she will be yours!
