The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 161
As soon as I saw Deyuelou that day, Shui Rong would never forget this woman again.Although he is very masculine, he also has a few handsome servants by his side, but they are all just in the interest of making a fuss, which is harmless.But since meeting Xing Xiuyan that day, Shui Rong has been obsessed with it, but due to the presence of that evil star Song Chen, Shui Rong can't do much research.

When he returned to the mansion the next day, Shui Rong hurriedly ordered his capable generals to investigate. Sure enough, as he expected, Song Chen didn't have any cousin with the surname "Lu".At first, Shui Rong thought that Mr. Lu was just Song Chen's best friend, but when the people found out, he was surprised and delighted. It turned out that he had mistaken Mulan for a man, and Mr. Lu was actually a weak girl.

Thinking of the other party's generous spending of money that day, Shui Rong couldn't help but feel itchy. Girls with such a heart are really rare!
Shui Rong knows Song Chen's tricks best. In the past few years, he also wanted to take the opportunity to establish contacts in the Zhenfu Division, but firstly, the emperor was very vigilant, and the Zhenfu Division was the emperor's personal weapon, so he would not easily let them, princes with foreign surnames, intervene. In the past, Song Chen was the only one in the Zhenfu Department, and Shui Rong had always had a small grudge with him, so it was impossible for the other party to give him such an opportunity.

Song Chen helped the emperor to make the iron barrels made by the Zhenfu Division as strong as they were. Seeing that Song Chen had to reuse them, the King of Beijing Shui Rong, who was about his age, was naturally unwilling to give in easily because of his high status.Now that the beautiful and beautiful girl is being dominated by Song Chen, Shui Rong only thinks that it is a flower stuck in the cow dung.

Then Song Chen is just a reckless man, how can he support such a delicate peony?
Thinking of this, Shui Rong hurriedly smiled at Xiuyan, "I don't know, so Mr. Lu and Mr. Ma are old acquaintances? If he knew that Mr. Ma was present today, this king would definitely bring Jin Guan here. Mr. Ma loves Mr. Jin the most." It's a pity not to invite the man with the voice of "Yutangjiao" today to add to the fun!"

Shui Rong deliberately wanted to piss off Ma Tingyuan. They nobles love to raise a flirtatious little actor. Although Jinguan didn't come out of the Beijing Palace, Jinguan and his troupe just came to Beijing, so it's no surprise that they can open up the situation. on their own.Shui Rong often brought Jinguan by his side. In less than half a year, Jinguan and the troupe became the hottest objects in the capital.

At a banquet, Ma Tingyuan took a few more glances at Jinguan, and then was teased by the rogue brother of Concubine Wu Guifei's family, saying that he had taken a fancy to Jinguan and insisted on forcing Jinguan to serve Ma Tingyuan that night.

How can Ma Tingyuan be a disadvantaged person, and immediately fought with Wu Guifei's natal brother at the banquet.Jinguan suffered an indiscriminate disaster, with a big bump on his forehead, which took half a month to heal.

Water soluble new hatred and old hatred are added together, and there is the ridicule at this moment.

Hearing this, Ma Tingyuan secretly clenched his fists, staring at Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong.

Xiuyan hurriedly laughed and said: "The concubine passed away, His Majesty banned the order, so it is difficult to see Jinguan in the prince's mansion, but I don't know that there is a competition in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jinguan left Beijing half a month ago to go south to fight music Son! Cao Minyuan didn’t know that the prince still has such a good mood, but luckily one of my servants has a good voice, Cao Min called her here, and sang a little order for the prince to help the prince!”

Xiuyan clapped her hands, and a little maid walked in from the door, it was Fangguan in a pretty dress.

Fang Guan took a quick glance at Shui Rong and Ma Tingyuan with his phoenix eyes, and then stood among the crowd with his head bowed.

Xiuyan nodded slightly at her: "Just sing your best "When Appreciating Flowers"! Your lord likes to listen to more elegant songs, so don't play tricks in front of experts, just sing whatever you want."

Fang Guan hurriedly looked at Shui Rong carefully: There is still such a young prince in the world!Fangguan couldn't help but think of those gifted scholars and beauties she sang in her songs. Could it be that today is her fate?

Fang Guan hurriedly collected her sloppy voice, and sang "When Appreciating Flowers" with a clear voice. This young girl was different, her voice was clear and crisp like an oriole, and even at the beginning there was a bit of casualness. Shui Rong couldn't help squinting his eyes and began to listen quietly.

When Fangguan's song ended, even Ma Tingyuan couldn't help stroking his hands.Fangguan looked at Xiuyan with bright eyes, Xiuyan smiled and said, "What do you think, my lord?"

Shui Rong nodded uncomfortably: "It's a pity, she's a girl, otherwise she would have made some achievements." Shui Rong took off the purple gold unicorn ring from his hand, and threw it to Fang Guan: "It's good to practice, it's rare that Mr. Lu likes it, you This girl can't live up to the young master's heart of education."

Fangguan blushed with excitement, quickly took the ring, and kowtowed three times on the ground.

Baoyu kept looking at Fangguan, and wanted to speak several times, but at that time they were people he couldn't afford to offend. Baoyu had a lot of words in his mind, so he had to bear it first.

All of a sudden, the shopkeeper of Deyuelou brought the servants to serve all the dishes. The shopkeeper is famous for being sociable and has a close relationship with the Beijing Palace. Every year, the Beijing Palace invites most of the dishes The famous chef of Yuelou came to cook, so the shopkeeper of Deyuelou knew very well about King Jingjing's food preferences.

The shopkeeper smiled and stepped forward: "My lord, the fresh roast meat is made of four-month-old piglets, soaked in rice wine for more than ten years, wiped with cloud crisp, and roasted over a lychee wood fire. It’s hard to find such delicious food down there.”

Deyuelou's dish is not easy to cook, because the crispy cloud is really hard to find, and you may not be able to pick one or two pieces of crispy cloud after walking for three days and three nights in the vast mountains.Because of this, this broiled meat can be bought at a sky-high price!

Shui Rong hurriedly asked someone to put the dishes in front of Xiuyan, and said softly, "Young Master Lu, let's try this. This is a recipe from the palace. Even the Supreme Emperor has eaten it and he is full of praise. In the capital, there is nothing but Deyuelou's The chef can make a bit of the taste of the imperial dining room, and the others are just imitating it."

Ma Tingyuan held his chopsticks and smiled: "I said, my lord, what I know is that you are a distinguished guest, what I don't know is that you are the host today? I'm surprised, you and Mr. Lu have nothing in the past Why do you just want to talk to him? My brother Lu is not an ordinary rich and idle person, and his family's business is too busy. If there is nothing serious, the prince should drink a glass of wine and leave!"

Ma Tingyuan picked up the wine glass and wanted to do it, but he was in a hurry. The reason he made such a big trouble to find Xing Xiuyan was not because Ma Tingyuan was messing around here.Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Young Master Lu, I have a few words, and I would like to borrow a few words."

Ma Tingyuan slapped the wine cup: "Shui Rong, don't push yourself too hard. I won't expose your old background in front of brother Lu today. I advise you to be a little self-aware. Don't be ashamed to go to someone with a fresh color." Your mansion is messing around, my brother is an honest man, and he is not the same as you!"

Xiuyan was having fun in her heart!This Ma Tingyuan is indeed Song Chen's childhood friend, with a sharp mouth that is unreasonable, and a deadpan expressionless face that scares people to death.

Ma Tingyuan is not the kind of warm-hearted person. Although it seems that the supervisor of the trustee is an idle job, but Princess Zhaoyuan is the daughter of the former emperor, and Ma Tingyuan is also the kind of person who walks sideways in the capital and no one dares to control him.When Song Chen left, he was afraid that Xiuyan would be murdered if he had no one to help him for a while, so he asked his friend Ma Tingyuan to come out to help.Xing Xiuyan felt that King Beijing's intentions were unclear, so he hurriedly asked someone to send a post to Princess Zhaoyuan's mansion, but Ma Tingyuan rushed over without saying a word.

The virtuous king of the water-soluble generation was blocked by the little overlord Ma Tingyuan with a few words and had no room to retaliate. He was so angry that he gasped heavily.

Xiuyan glanced at Shui Rong, smiled and said to Ma Tingyuan: "Brother Tingyuan is worrying too much, the prince is an upright gentleman, how could he be unfavorable to me? I just don't know why the prince Xuan Caomin came to see him?"

Shui Rong gave Ma Tingyuan a hard look, and then said euphemistically: "Young Master Lu's identity, this king has already guessed a little bit, this king is a person who loves talents, you made a bet for Mr. Mei that day, and this king has made friends with you." Meaning. Leaving aside false words, Master Lu wants to keep His Royal Highness the fifth prince in the palace, but this king has some methods."

Ma Tingyuan knew the status of Xing Xiuyan in his friend's heart, so when he heard Shui Rong say this, he couldn't sit still any longer, jumped up, pointed at Shui Rong and said, "Well, you are a guy with a cold knife in your back, Song Chen has never I'm sorry for you, it's not natural for you to pry into someone's corner like this."

Shui Rong first glanced at the expressionless Xing Xiuyan, and was overjoyed, and then sneered at Ma Tingyuan: "Why is this king feeling sorry for Song Qianhu? Brother Tingyuan, although you are the grandson of the Supreme Emperor and his old man, after all, you are not A hereditary office, isn't it?"

As soon as the words came out, Xiuyan saw Ma Tingyuan's face change.

It turned out that although Princess Zhaoyuan was the emperor's beloved daughter, the concubine married to Princess Zhaoyuan was not the emperor's favorite.For this matter, the Ma family suffered a lot during the years when they were consorts. Ma Tingyuan only got better after he was born, but the Supreme Emperor hated consorts, so he did not give his grandson the title for a long time.

Ma Tingyuan breathed out a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, I'll take a breath outside for now, and you sit down!"

Shui Rong hurriedly sent Baoyu away to wait, Baoyu used to obey Shui Rong a hundred times a thousand, but today somehow, Shui Rong called him several times, but Baoyu pretended not to hear.

Xiuyan looked at Jia Baoyu lightly, and said softly: "Since the lord knows my identity, he should have heard about it. Baoyu is my cousin, so there is nothing to hide. The lord has something to say. .”

"Young Master Lu is so refreshing! I met His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince several times in the palace, and found that this young man was born with a royal demeanor. I wondered if the young master could lead me to ask His Highness to meet me."

Xiuyan said calmly: "Why didn't the lord stop His Highness the fifth prince in the palace? If you have anything to say, you can say it in the inner court."

Shui Rong laughed loudly: "I don't believe this king, Mr. Lu doesn't know, the inner court has always been dominated by certain people, even if the queen mother and her elderly can't come out to cook, but don't forget, the empress is not a dry meal, if she is caught by her Seeing that this king has close contacts with His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince will not only be of no benefit to the Fifth Prince, but will even lead to death."

The sincerity of Shui Rong's words shows that he came here with great sincerity in making friends today.
