And although they were all soaked in the rain, it could be seen from their blue official uniforms and black official hats that they were probably a team of official officials.
When these people approached, Wang Cai recognized the young man leading them at a glance.
I saw that the young man was soaked by the rain, his red official uniform outlined his figure, and the rain washed his jade-like eyebrows.
Every part of his body was wet, and the others looked like they had been fished out of the water.
Everyone is in the same embarrassment.
But the young man still stood out among this group of people. He was like a jade-faced Buddha washed away by the rain, and his white jade face became smoother and brighter under the wash of the rain.
He dismounted and hid under the eaves, intending to wring the rain off his robe.
However, when he raised his eyes, he found that there were other people here.
Wang Cai naturally recognized the other party early. Before Lu Zhizhang could speak first, Wang Cai immediately greeted Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu."
Lu Zhizhang obviously did not recognize the other party, "Who are you?"
Wang Cai immediately introduced himself with a smile and said, "Wang Cai, the little man, is the servant of Shilang Zhou's house."
After hearing Wang Cai's introduction, Lu Zhizhang seemed to have a rough understanding of who the other party was, but he still didn't give him any big response. He just nodded slightly.
Wang Cai said attentively, "Mr. Lu, our lady is also hiding here from the rain at the moment. Do you want to go in?"
Lu Zhizhang was a little surprised when he heard Wang Cai's words, but he didn't ask any questions. Considering that men and women were not intimate, he whispered, "It's not necessary. I'll just wait outside for a while."
However, at this time, Xu Tianyi also walked out of the room, and he took the initiative to say, "Sir, please go in. Yaoniang also invited you in. There are many people in this room, and there are not alone men and women."
Hearing someone talking, and the person coming was a young man with a scar, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but take another look at the young man.
Wang Cai was a smart man and immediately introduced Lu Zhizhang, "This is our uncle Xu Tianyi. Mr. Lu, our uncle has spoken, so please go in and get out of the rain."
Lu Zhizhang just looked at the other party, and then whispered, "Young Master looks very kind."
Whether Lu Zhizhang's words were intentional or unintentional, Xu Tianyi only smiled awkwardly.
It was Wang Cai who took the initiative to help Xu Tianyi and said, "Master Lu, it's not surprising that our uncle is so kind. Our uncle is a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam. He has been here for some time. The capital is so big, maybe you are on the street." I’ve seen him before, so it’s normal for you to think he looks familiar.”
Lu Zhizhang didn't seem to care, he just hummed casually.
Then Wang Cai said, "Mr. Lu, it's raining heavily outside, let's go inside and talk."
Lu Zhizhang did not refuse this time. He chose to nod, "That's fine, I'm sorry for bothering you."
After the words fell, Lu Zhizhang took the initiative to walk in.
Xu Tianyi chose to follow Lu Zhizhang.
As Lu Zhizhang walked forward, Xu Tianyi asked Wang Cai in a low voice, "Who is this lord?"
Wang Cai was surprised when he heard Xu Tianyi's question and said, "You don't know Mr. Lu?"
Xu Tianyi only said angrily, "I really don't know."
Then Wang Cai said in a low voice, "Master Lu is the young minister of Dali Temple. He was a Jinshi in the first two terms. But according to Master Lu's level, he should actually be the number one scholar. It's a pity that people are jealous. But fortunately, Master Lu is also It’s better to rely on your own ability to get ahead.”
Although Wang Cai had lowered his voice as much as possible, Lu Zhizhang could still hear Wang Cai and Xu Tianyi's words clearly.
He knew very clearly that Xu Tianyi seemed to be trying to use this method to make it clear that he had never seen him before.
Although he felt weird, he didn't think much about it. Library bar
When they arrived at the open space where Zhou Yaoniang was, Wang Cai only immediately pushed Zicuckoo and said, "Zicuckoo, come in with us."
Zicuckoo seemed to have finally come to her senses. She rubbed her eyes and whispered, "Okay."
Afterwards, Zijuan just followed Wang Cai silently.
Wait until everyone is in one place.
Wang Cai looked at the dark room and couldn't help but said proactively, "Mr. Lu, is it cold? How about I go get some dry firewood? I remember there is still some firewood in one of the side rooms."
However, just as Wang Cai finished speaking, Xu Tianyi immediately stood up and said, "How about I go over."
When Wang Cai heard this, he immediately said, "How can I let you go? I should go there."
While the two were fighting for the right to go to the wing, Lu Zhizhang was already telling his men, "You go."
The subordinates immediately responded with a yes after receiving the order.
At this moment, Xu Tianyi immediately said, "Master Lu!"
Lu Zhizhang turned around and looked at Xu Tianyi, "What's wrong?"
Xu Tianyi only showed an embarrassed smile when he heard this: "Master Lu, let me go. You have all wet your clothes, it is better to stay here to dry."
However, Lu Zhizhang said, "No, it's our own business. You don't have to fight. Just stay here."
Although Lu Zhizhang's voice was calm, there was an irresistible power in his words.
Xu Tianyi finally stopped arguing about the matter and sat down calmly.
The court seemed to be plunged into a depressing atmosphere due to Lu Zhizhang's arrival.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but ask, "Master Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Zhizhang only said, "Of course it's for some office work."
After hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang asked carefully, "Mr. Lu, is this a case related to my father?"
Lu Zhizhang nodded, "It's the Zhu family's case. He is involved in many people."
After hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang immediately asked, "Master Lu, what crime will my father be sentenced to?"
When Lu Zhizhang heard this question, he just said softly, "Please forgive me, miss. I have nothing to say about this now."
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang refused to reveal anything, Zhou Yaoniang didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that no one was talking, Xinghua didn't forget Zijuan who was frightened just now, so she just took the initiative to move to Zijuan, then she secretly handed a piece of snack to Zijuan, and finally she said she was curious. asked Zijuan, "Zijuan, what happened to you just now? You must have been frightened when you saw Mr. Lu and the others coming over, right?"
Zijuan glanced at Lu Zhizhang and then at the others. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I wasn't just frightened by Mr. Lu just now. I seemed to see a shadow floating around in the room next to me. It looked particularly clear under the electric light. I felt good." It was scary. I thought I saw a ghost. But now that I think about it, I probably saw it wrong."
Hearing Zijuan's words, Xinghua immediately joked, "I must have seen it wrong. There is no ghost in this world. My sister must be scaring herself."
After hearing this, Zicuckoo just chuckled.
However, Lu Zhizhang looked at Xu Tianyi again and said, "Xu Xianggong, why can't you go out today?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, Xu Tianyi didn't speak for a long time. Instead, Zhou Yaoniang helped to speak and said, "I originally planned to go to the Four Seasons Amusement Park with Brother Tianyi, but I didn't want to get halfway through when the car broke down and it rained. It was also raining heavily, so we hurried here to take shelter from the rain.”
Hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "That's really unfortunate. If we go ahead after the rain stops, if you don't mind, I can arrange a carriage and horse to take you there."
Upon hearing Lu Zhizhang's arrangement, Zhou Yaoniang immediately beamed with joy, "It would be great if I could get such an arrangement from you."
Lu Zhizhang just smiled lightly and said, "It's a small effort, not worth mentioning."
While the two of them were still thinking about what to say, the official who had been arranged by Lu Zhizhang to fetch some firewood came back empty-handed again.
And he was even more embarrassed than before. He was panting, and it looked like he was the one who had just hurried over.
Seeing his empty hands, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but frowned, "Why is there no firewood?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's inquiry, the person below did not choose to answer Lu Zhizhang's question. He just leaned into Lu Zhizhang's ear, and then he and Lu Zhizhang murmured for a while.
After Lu Zhizhang heard the man's muttering, he stood up immediately.
Zhou Yaoniang didn't know what was going on, so she immediately asked nervously, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhizhang glanced at Zhou Yaoniang. Then he smiled gently and whispered, "It's nothing."
Then he ordered the subordinate, "Okay, you go down first."
The men got the order and hurried down quickly.
Lu Zhizhang, who was originally sitting here, only said to everyone, "Everyone, I have something to do, so I'll go down first."
After saying this, Lu Zhizhang stood up. He didn't care about packing his soaked clothes, let alone anything else.
Seeing Lu Zhizhang hurriedly go down, thinking about the heavy rain outside, Zhou Yaoniang immediately ordered the people around her to quickly hand over the umbrella to Lu Zhizhang.
However, Lu Zhizhang had already left the yard.
So Wang Cai could only follow him out of the courtyard.
Fortunately, Lu Zhizhang did not leave the deserted temple directly. He just stood at the door of a wing room, and there were only several official servants standing at the door of the wing room.
Lu Zhizhang arrived at the corridor and was reminded to look behind him.
When he saw Wang Cai coming in the rain, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but said, "Wang Cai, what are you doing here?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang's memory was so good. He only introduced his name once, and Lu Zhizhang seemed to have completely remembered his name.
Wang Cai smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, Master Lu. It's our Miss Yaoniang who wanted me to give you an umbrella because it was raining heavily outside. Who knows, you were walking too fast and I couldn't catch up with you." "
After saying this, Wang Cai only immediately walked up to the corridor in the wing room.
Lu Zhizhang understood the other party's kindness after hearing this, and only said, "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness. However, Lu is already soaked. It doesn't matter whether you have an umbrella or not. But if you are not wet, why should you follow me here to soak in the rain? You also Let's go back."
