Bangbang~~~

The night clouds showed half a cold moon, and the ethereal sound of bangzi came from the distant streets. Lu Liangsheng and Yang Su did not take a carriage and left the imperial city, and they walked side by side across the long street. It was already late at night and there were few pedestrians. The vendors who were busy all day had packed up their tables and chairs, pushed up their carts and prepared to leave.

In the prosperous night of Chang'an, there are still warm yellow lights throwing on the long street, brothels with red lanterns hanging high, and pirates plucking strings and singing music. From time to time, there are also three or three guests coming out from inside and waving goodbye to the woman who was seeing him off.

"Two guests outside, come in and sit down, have some wine, listen to some comfortable songs, and pass the long night..."

The woman in thin flower dress went to seduce her. Lu Liangsheng smiled and pushed away the hand she held up. Yang Su just laughed and did not stop her. She waited far away to the brothel and went to Baiguanfushe Street. Then the old man spoke.

"Haha... When I was young, I often went to these rouge and powder places. Unfortunately, that guy invited the wrong person. Fellow Daoist Lu had a female ghost and a banshee at his home. How could he fall in love with these rouge and powder like them?"

Lu Liangsheng was not easy to answer. He smiled casually and said something to deal with it. The old man smiled even brighter when he saw his appearance. "I'm just kidding me. Fellow Daoist Lu, don't be surprised. I'm going to my mansion ahead, please come here!"

The first mansion near the imperial city of Manshechang Street is the old man. The two dynasties have a prominent status and the door of the mansion is just showing momentum. The high mansion gate is brass and golden, and lanterns are hung high on both sides of the eaves to illuminate the door plaque with gold edges, which carved the "gonghou Yang" like a dragon and phoenix dance.

Two stone statues of the guardians stood in the palace with iron maces and copper whips, showing their majesty.

The servants of the mansion had been waiting with lanterns. When they saw their master picking up a scholar back, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Among them, the servant in charge was hesitant. Yang Su walked up the stone steps and was inviting the scholar behind him into the mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, how do you think of me in this mansion?"

"The Duke of Yue is a noble person. Even if he sits in the suburbs of the city, he is still very grand. How can he keep the entire mansion in sight?"

Lu Liangsheng has seen many houses. Not to mention the distant Zhou Mansion, the Min Mansion, and Wang Sheng, who was the Shunyuan County back then, had a small house, but the layout was elegant and comfortable. Speaking of which, Wang Sheng was also a student back then, and now he is not sure whether he has passed the exam and become an official as he wishes.

I remembered that I saw the second book "Mountain and Sea Map" at the other party's home and gave it to myself. When I thought about the time, I didn't realize that it had been more than a few years.

When the scene of that year flashed through his mind, the manager at the mansion was carefully approached Yang Su and whispered a few words in his ear. The old man looked at the mansion with a beard and stared blankly for a moment before laughing and scolding.

"This little bastard!"

Seeing this, Lu Liangsheng stepped into the threshold and walked on one side and was quite curious: "It seems that there are other things in the Duke of Yue's mansion tonight. I wonder if it will be disturbed?"

"It's okay if something happens, but unfortunately everything has passed."

"What's up?"

Seeing that the old man was willing to say it, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help but ask. If it was a good thing, he could continue to talk about what he wanted to say, walked through the gate and walked into the front yard with the manager who was leading the way. Yang Su sat on the first big chair and asked the maid to serve tea and snacks. He also instructed the manager to prepare a table of wine and food.

Then I talked about the incident in the mansion just now. The two of them have been together for many years and have not concealed it.

"...Fellow Daoist Lu, don't laugh. Just now, the manager told me that a concubine ran away with someone else. I was so angry that my son Xuangan took someone to chase me. I'm afraid he's on the way back now."

elopement?

Lu Liangsheng took a sip of tea and heard these two words a little fresh, but it could not be expressed on the surface. But when he saw the old man looking calm, he seemed not relieved. He knew that even if the concubine was nothing in the high-ranking courtyard, it would be embarrassing to run away with him, let alone the minister like Yang Su who held a high position in the court.

"Duke Yue doesn't seem to care?" Lu Liangsheng closed the tea lid and placed one side of the table.

"I care so much, but I can't catch it anyway."

Seeing Lu Liangsheng's eyes confused, the old man slapped the armrest of the chair and laughed, "I let a couple go back then, so what if I put them together again? If the two of them can be harmonious and grow old together, it may be a kind of virtue."

Speaking of something once, it can be traced back to when he attacked Southern Chen, when almost all the royal daughters of the Chen Dynasty were captured to Chang'an. Yang Jian rewarded Chen Shubao's sister, Princess Wenchang, to him. Later, he learned that Princess Wenchang was married during the Southern Dynasty, and her husband traveled thousands of miles to find Chang'an.

Speaking of this, Yang Su stroked her beard and sighed: "The Princess Wenchang looks beautiful, but her temperament is as loyal as her name. She has not eaten or drunk for a few days. When she heard about the past of her husband and wife, she let them reunite and join hands to return to their hometown... Alas, Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing?"

In the old man's surprised words, Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting on the side, got up from the chair and bowed: "For the kindness of Duke Yue, I will worship him."

"You, you."

Yang Su felt a little embarrassed by this place, her fingers were tightened. At this time, the manager also came over and said that the wine and food were ready, so the old man invited Lu Liangsheng to the backyard together.

"Don't mention the past. Now that Hong Fu is elopement with someone, I actually have no choice. If I really have to settle the score, I will just go directly to find Han Qinhu tomorrow."

The maid came over to fill the wine glass, Lu Liangsheng thanked him and asked as he followed the words.

"Is the man who ran away with Han Zhu?"

Over there, the old man smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched Lu Liangsheng: "Who else can teach such a nephew?"

As he said that, he ordered the manager who was waiting on the side.

"Go to the side yard and call the four guests to accompany the table."

"yes."

The manager bowed and left the room. Yang Su saw Lu Liangsheng's expression and explained: "These four people are from Nanchen. They are considered to be in the same county as fellow Daoist Lu. They also have fame and fortune, but they are enrolled at my disciples and call each other to appear lively."

In fact, Lu Liangsheng's expression was not because the old man attracted four disciples to accompany him, but because he remembered that he followed Han Qinhu south to quell the rebellion two years ago, and the other party also mentioned that he had a nephew at home.

Chang'an seems to be quite small, and they all squeezed together.

Listening to the old man's explanation in his ear, Lu Liangsheng just nodded and did not continue to say it, but talked about the important matter of coming to visit.

"Duke of Yue, what do you think of His Majesty in the past two years?"

"It's still a little worse than the late emperor."

When talking about the affairs of the government, the old man seemed to have changed his expression, stopped chopsticks, and looked at the young scholar opposite him with a bright look.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have always been asking about political affairs, why did I suddenly ask?"

The hall was quiet, and the candlelight shook gently along the night breeze blowing outside the door. With the sound of insects outside, footsteps were coming from far to near. Four figures walked across the eaves of the corridor, and their hands were placing randomly.

"What do you three know? The Duke of Yue asked me to accompany the four people. Obviously, there are literati and rich men. If you can't do it, your Majesty will leave the palace in a very short time."

"What my brother said is reasonable, but tonight is the time for us to turn over."

"Speaking of this, we four should have been successful. We finally showed it in front of the late emperor, but before we could summon him, we were in full swing..."

As he spoke in slightest words, he came to the hall door and arched his hands inward.

"We will pay homage to Duke Yue, and pay homage..."

One of them saw the young man holding wine opposite the table and was smiling. His scalp buried his face with a numbness.
