The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 835 Perfunctory
Lu Chen remembered what Gu Chengyu said about entering Yifu to inquire, and he wanted to use Gu Chengyu's hand to play tricks.

"Yes!"

After the people left, Lu Chen looked at the full moon in the middle of the night sky and sighed leisurely.

He had done his best, and being able to deliberately disclose the news to Prince Jing was considered a complete bond between them.

He has his mission, from birth, they are destined to stand on opposite sides.

He can't ignore the family, let alone betray the family, Lu Chen's eyes looking at Yuan Yue gradually blurred.

The next day, just as Gu Chengyu woke up, Mingyan came in to report.

"My lord! Someone entered the courtyard last night and talked with Mr. Lu for about an hour."

Gu Chengyu fastened the belt inlaid with the jade-colored edge, but he was not surprised when he heard the news from Ming Yan.

"How many people are there? But the one who fought with you last time?" Ming Mo just fetched water and entered the room, and was about to wait for Gu Chengyu to wash up.

"Looking at the figure and the number of martial arts, it doesn't look like the one from last time. However, Mr. Lu is not weak in martial arts. If he finds us, he is afraid of arousing Mr. Lu's suspicion. Therefore, he dare not approach him until he leaves. , we sent people to follow."

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Keep an eye on that person carefully to see who he is. In addition, pay more attention these few days, we have been in the capital for several days, I am afraid that these people will not be able to wait. Check carefully People are watching us, even the people who live in the same house should not take it lightly."

Ming Yan quickly responded, he understood what his lord meant, didn't the person living in the same room refers to Lord Lu?

"Jinyu! Are we going to swim in Dongting Lake today?" Lu Chen came in from the outside, and Shi Shiran sat on the table, waiting for Ming Yan to serve him porridge.

Gu Chengyu's work and rest habits are very regular, and he usually eats breakfast at this time, so Lu Chen always comes here at this time.

"Who said we're going?" Gu Chengyu took a sip of the preserved egg porridge and glanced at Lu Chen.

"What do you mean? Didn't you promise to see the second master of the Yan Mansion yesterday? Didn't you go back on your word? But you even sent a reply!"

Lu Chen put down the kidney bean roll he took a bite of, and looked at Gu Chengyu full of doubts.

"It's natural to go, but you can't go."

Gu Chengyu's smile looked so unpredictable in Lu Chen's eyes, he thought about it, did he not want to expose himself?

"Ming Mo and the others beside you are very capable. Even if you go by yourself, I don't have to worry about your safety."

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised that Lu Chen compromised so easily.

However, he still explained a few words and revealed his plan first, lest Lu Chen think that he was going to do some tricks behind his back.

"Those people have never seen us. I am an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and you are hiding in the dark. Those people probably don't know that you came here with me, right?"

Gu Chengyu had asked someone to check it out a long time ago, but Prince Jing hadn't done it thoroughly enough to expose Lu Chen.

For Gu Chengyu, this is more convenient for him to act.Of course, for Lu Chen, it might be exactly what he wanted.

He didn't think that Lu Chen had no intention of making a treasure map. When he went to the Yi Mansion, he naturally couldn't put his hopes on Lu Chen, otherwise he would be making a wedding dress for someone else.

"I'm going to let you pretend to be my servant, it will be more convenient for us to do things."

"What? You want me to dress up as a servant? That can't be done." Lu Chen looked at Gu Chengyu suspiciously, slandering Gu Chengyu in his heart, but it was a good idea.

"Then I'll pretend to be your servant, and you go to contact Yan today? But who is going to steal the treasure map? Is it possible that I will go? If Mingmo and the others go, I don't feel at ease. Although their martial arts are good, they are far behind you."

In fact, Gu Chengyu had never seen Lu Chen's martial arts at all, but judging from Lu Chen's long breath, his inner strength should be very pure.

Speaking of Lu Chen's martial arts being stronger than Mingmo's, Lu Chen felt good about himself, and he didn't deny it.

"Let's talk about it later!" He instinctively resisted pretending to be a servant.However, he understands that the bigger picture matters.

Besides, when the time comes, no one will be staring at him, so it will be more convenient for him to recruit people.

Gu Chengyu smiled lightly, and didn't try to persuade him any more.

Naturally, his purpose was to send Lu Chen away, and it would be too much of a hindrance if Lu Chen stayed by his side when he went to the Yi Mansion.

Only when Lu Chen became a servant could he give orders and put this thing aside.

The two phases of the lake and the autumn moon,
There is no mirror on the surface of the pool.

Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting,
A green snail on a silver plate.

Gu Chengyu thought of a famous poem in the Tang Dynasty, the situation and the scene are very appropriate to this poem, but it is a pity that the Dongting Lake in that poem is not the same as the Dongting Lake here.

Since the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the country has been reorganized, and the previous place names and state capitals have been changed a long time ago, which are not quite the same as the original ones.

The large and small painted boats near the lake shore are scattered like stars, which shows that there are many people who come out to play in autumn.

Among them, several very gorgeous painting boats are particularly eye-catching. From time to time, there are laughter and laughter from the painting boats, so lively.

"I didn't know that Mr. Gu came to Hejian Mansion before, and I was far away from welcoming him. I would like to invite Mr. Gu Haihan."

The person who spoke was a fat man in an indigo cross-collar robe, about forty years old, at this time he was arching his hands to salute the young man sitting at the head.

"Master Yan Er, you are being polite. I came to Hejian Mansion on the orders of the emperor to secretly investigate the treasure map. I didn't expect that everyone would know about it just a few days after I arrived in Hejian Mansion."

Gu Chengyu looked troubled, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he sighed leisurely.

Master Yan Er squinted his eyes, which were bigger than mung beans, and looked at this handsome young man with a pink face and spring.

He couldn't help sneering in his heart, he still thinks how calm he is!

In the first few days when he came to Hejian Mansion, he didn't move at all. He thought that he was a difficult master.

But looking at it this way today, he found that this person may have been delayed until today because he had no way to start.

Although Second Master Yan disdained Gu Chengyu very much in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Although I heard that the method of tea introduction was proposed by this person, he did not deny that the other party was talented.

But this person is young after all, and when it comes to intrigue and power manipulation, he is still far behind those courtiers who are scheming.

After all, this is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, so he naturally dare not neglect.

"Master Gu is the number one scholar in this palace examination, with a literary talent. Your reputation has already spread to Hejian Mansion, and I admire your literary talent very much! You have already become famous, and it is natural for you to come to Hejian Mansion. It can’t be hidden from everyone.”

Master Yan Er smiled and drank the wine in his glass, and brought this matter up in a few words.

Gu Chengyu sneered in his heart, did this person treat himself as a fool?
This attitude is too perfunctory, it's because I look at myself young and don't take myself seriously!
