Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 297 Don't Send Linglong to Sing My Poems

The curtains of the pavilion where Lu You was were drawn.

Although it was thin and translucent, and the hazy scenery could be seen inside, due to the sensitive relationship between Lu You and Tang Wan in the past, it was naturally better to open the curtain.

As soon as Tang Wan entered, many people's eyes were focused on the pavilion.

Obviously, they all knew the story of Lu You and Tang Wan.

This, in particular, proves that Lu You was too self-centered at the time. When he wrote that poem, he never thought about how much impact it would have or how many people it would hurt. Instead, he was immersed in self-expression and atonement-like confession.

But, it won’t happen this time.

When Tang Wan walked into the pavilion, Lu You's mind was still echoing with Yang Yuan's words.

"In this case, please, Brother Wuguan, make sure she has peace and happiness now."

"Don't express your cheap affection. It can only move yourself! To others, every word you say may be a knife stabbing into her heart!"

"Wuguan, long time no see."

"Huixian, you are here too? Where are Brother Defu?"

Tang Wan suppressed her complicated emotions and smiled, "He was busy with official duties. He just arrived at Shen Garden and left for something else."

With Yang Yuan's previous reminder, Lu You immediately thought that Zhao Shicheng might have left just to fulfill his wife's wish and did not want to be embarrassed on the spot, so he made an excuse.

Compared with Zhao Shicheng's thoughtfulness and gentleness, if Tang Wan had considered her husband's feelings and the dignity of her children, she should have gone with him.

But she not only stayed, but even raised her glass to come over and chat with me, even though there were many people watching and rumors were bound to spread.

If I were Zhao Shicheng...

As soon as he thought of this, Lu You immediately realized that something was wrong. He was touched by Tang Wan's unforgettable love for him, but if he continued to be entangled with her, it would only hurt everyone, including her, so he deliberately calmed down.

Lu You sighed, "We have wasted many years on each other, and I haven't seen my father and brother De for a long time."

Tang Wan suddenly felt resentful. "It's been many years since we last met, but now that we meet again, you are just lamenting that you haven't seen Zhao Shicheng for many years?"
Lu You suddenly asked again: "I heard that you now have a son and a daughter, congratulations."

When the old lover met again, he first asked about her husband and then talked about her children. The romantic feeling in Tang Wan's heart was blown away like the wind.

She said calmly, "Yes, although I can't compare to you giving birth to three sons in a row, but I am satisfied with having both a son and a daughter."

……

Yang Yuan and Chu Nianqiu discussed many details. Yang Yuan was willing to supply enough goods and was willing to supply them at a very low price.

Of course, on the surface, his trading partner was Chu Nianqiu.

Chu Yuan would not do business with him directly. Even between Chu Nianqiu and Chu Yuan, there was no clear transaction relationship. The twists and turns involved were not something that outsiders should know.

The reason Yang Yuan gave such a huge profit margin was that he would become Chu Yuan's only supplier.

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "This is easy. I agree. Even if I give you the supply of oil, salt, vegetables, etc., it will be inconvenient for you to trade.

However, I can also let you make bedding, military uniforms, and large quantities of grain and rice as long as the price is fair."

Yang Yuan happily said: "We also do these businesses. Originally my family was a shipowner, and most of the profits went to others.

Now that I have settled in Lin'an, I am ready to expand my business. In order to expand my customer base, it is okay to give Brother Chu a little more profit. Everyone can make money."

Chu Nianqiu said happily: "With Second Young Master's broad mind, the Wang family will surely rise again."

Yang Yuan said: "However, I have to make sure that Brother Chu gives the supply exclusively to my Wang family.

Otherwise, even if I give up so much, I will still be dispensable in Shanyin, and can be replaced and abandoned at any time. Who am I working hard for?"

Chu Nianqiu laughed: "As the head of the group, I, Chu Nianqiu, keep my word. Second Young Master, why are you so cautious?
Well, I will take you to the Military Supervisor's Office tomorrow, and you can check the military supply books carefully in person. I won't lie to you."

“So best!”

Yang Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Chu, don't blame me for being cautious. My father is strict, and I have an older brother at home...

It's not easy for me to get this opportunity to be independent. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to do anything in the future."

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. It's not easy for the Second Young Master either. You live in 'Qijian Hall'. I will pick you up at 4:00 pm tomorrow and go to the Dujian Mansion together. How about that?"

Yang Yuan said, "Oh, what a coincidence. I have already booked a place to go tomorrow afternoon. How about the morning?"

Chu Nianqiu said cheerfully: "Okay, then we'll meet at 9 o'clock."

If she goes in the morning, Emmanuelle Belle will have enough time to trace back the data and find the problem when she comes back.

If I go in the afternoon and am asked to stay for a meal, I won't have much time left when I come back.

Seeing Chu Nianqiu readily agreed, Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I will use tea instead of wine to toast Brother Chu."

Chu Nianqiu smiled and said, "We have wine here, why should we use tea instead?"

He poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Yang Yuan: "Come, let's drink together!"

At this time, Lu You suddenly walked in.

The reunion of a couple who have been resentful of each other is a very delicate state.

Once everything is in agreement, a few words can rekindle the old love. The other is that a little bit of disagreement will shatter the tenderness cultivated in the memory and fantasy, and suddenly feel dull.

With Yang Yuanxian's hint, Lu You and Tang Wan obviously entered the second state.

When Tang Wan said goodbye and left, the beauty and romance in her heart were no longer there. She seemed to have suddenly woken up from a dream that she had woven for herself over the years.

Lu You finally didn't drink the wine she offered him.

Watching Tang Wan leave and never look back, Lu You couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Yang Yuan looked at Lu You who walked in silently, snatched his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Want to get drunk? We will accompany you?"

Yang Yuan winked at Chu Nianqiu, then grabbed the wine jug, filled it up for Lu You first, and then poured another glass for himself.

Three glasses of wine came together.

……

Zhao Shicheng walked out of Shen Garden with heavy steps, returned to his car, sat in it, and said nothing.

His heart had long been obsessed with Tang Wan, and he had even lost himself.

When he used the excuse that he had official business to attend to and needed to leave for a while, he didn't believe that Wan'er was smart enough not to understand that he was just looking for an excuse.

How much he wished Wan'er could go with him.

We have been together for seven years, I have withstood many pressures, I have loved her without regrets, and we have a son and a daughter together, but in the end, I still can't make her put her heart on me?
As he walked along, his mood became more and more desolate, but he could only pretend to be carefree...

He married Tang Wan in a sedan chair despite countless people's opposition. If he showed any sign of loss and sadness, he would only make people laugh at him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

A palace guard rushed out from Shen Garden and came to Zhao Shicheng's carriage.

With some excitement, he hurriedly told Zhao Shicheng about the reunion of Lu You and Tang Wan.

Obviously, everyone in Shanyin knew about the affair between Prince Yongjia and Tang Wan and Lu You, and everyone in the Prince's Mansion was also aware of it.

Therefore, as soon as he found that the situation was favorable to the king, the guard rushed back to report with the intention of currying favor.

Zhao Shicheng was surprised and delighted when he heard this: "Wu Guan didn't even drink her wine? Good, good, Wu Guan is really..."

Suddenly, Zhao Shicheng's expression straightened up, and he felt sorry for his wife again: "It was obviously Wu Guan who was wronging her, and now he is still so heartless..."

The guard said, "The king may have misunderstood Young Master Lu. Young Master Lu is so cold and indifferent. I'm afraid he listened to the warning of the second young master of the Longshan Wang family."

The guard told Zhao Shicheng everything he overheard during the conversation between Shen Xi, Emmanuelle Belle and Miss Xiang Xuan.

Zhao Shicheng was deeply moved after hearing this: "Great! That's very well said!"

For a moment, Zhao Shicheng felt like a close friend of Yang Yuan.

He was able to endure the strange looks from others, leave silently with shame and distress, and create a chance for them to meet. Wasn't it because he considered everything from Wan'er's perspective?
As long as Wan'er is happy, everything is fine. It doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances.

The words of the second young master of the Longshan Wang family touched his heart.

"This second son of the Wang family is also a passionate man!"

Zhao Shicheng was moved and thought: "Maybe, he also has a woman he loves deeply. He is just like me, even if that woman has always had another man in her heart...

Even though he was very good to that woman, when she wanted to meet the man she liked, he still silently helped her, just like me.

Erlang understands me! I am not alone! This person should be my best friend in my life!"

……

Lu You got drunk very quickly. When a person wants to get drunk, the wine turns into water in his mouth, and soon he was drunk.

However, Yang Yuan was very happy. Lu You didn't have to leave behind that "murder song". So what if he got drunk?

He and Shen Xi helped Lu You onto the Lu family's carriage. It happened that Chu Xingshou also wanted to go home and was going the same way as Lu You, so he escorted him. The two carriages left one after another.

Yang Yuan had basically accomplished everything he wanted to do at the meeting in Shen Garden today, except for his wish to meet Qiao Zhen, as the deputy envoy of transportation did not come at all.

Yang Yuan then bowed to Shen Xi and said, "Shen Garden is as beautiful as its reputation. Now that we have had enough fun, I will take my leave now."

"Erlang, please wait!"

Shen Xi finally got the chance, so he grabbed Yang Yuan and said with a smile, "Erlang, you and I hit it off right away.

I want to follow the example of Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen and establish friendly relations with you. I wonder what you think, Erlang?"

Yang Yuan was stunned when he heard this. If you want to speak, just speak properly. Why are you being so pretentious?
Following the story of Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen, what is the story between Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen?
Seeing Yang Yuan's bewildered look, Shen Xi winked and said, "Don't send Linglong to sing my lyrics. My lyrics are all poems sent to you. Instead, paddle back to the riverside. It's time to leave when the moon sets and the tide is low. Hehehe, do you understand now?"

Yang Yuan hesitated and said, "Brother Shen, what you mean is... that we should become sworn brothers?"

Shen Xi rolled his eyes and wanted to speak in a more polite manner, but he didn't expect that this person was so uneducated that he didn't even know this allusion. He was indeed a nouveau riche with no background.

Shen Xi coughed and said seriously, "Brother, what I mean is to exchange my concubine Xiang Xuan with Erlang for Bei'er. What do you think of Erlang?"
