"Mr. Lu, do you need to ask Luzhu to come and dance for you?" Caidie picked up the wine jug on the table and poured Lu Yuan a glass of orchid wine.

"No need for today."

"But I have to trouble you for a moment. Please deliver this letter to Zhang Liang." Lu Yuan took out a letter that he had prepared in advance and placed it on the table.

Caidie was so surprised that she even forgot to put down the wine pot in her hand: "Is the Zhang Liang mentioned by Master Lu Zhang Liang, Master Zhang Zifang of the Xiangguo Mansion?"

The Zhang family has served as prime ministers in South Korea for five generations, and their students and former officials are spread all over the country, and their influence is deeply rooted.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are the first family in South Korea.

Even Ji Wuye, who had a large army, had no way to deal with the Zhang family.

Unless he openly rebels.

Its power in South Korea can be imagined.

"Are Master Lu and Master Zhang Liang good friends?" Caidie didn't remember that the intelligence said that Lu Yuan had been to Korea before and knew Zhang Liang.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but he should come when he sees this letter."

Caidie deeply admired Lu Yuan's confidence.

Zhang Liang is the most outstanding descendant of the Zhang family in this generation. Zhang Kaidi has high hopes for him and does his best to train him.

I seldom go out, and have never been to places like Zilanxuan where there are fireworks.

Although she felt that Zhang Liang would not come, Caidie still gave the letter to a waiter to deliver to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At the gate of the Xiangguo Mansion.

The waiter put two knife coins into the hands of the guard, who then took the letter and said, "Wait here."

He turned and walked towards the mansion.

After a long time, the waiter's feet were already a little sore.

The guard then came back and walked out behind a young man.

"My humble servant greets Mr. Zhang." The waiter bowed quickly.

Zhang Liang raised his right hand slightly in the air and said, "Where is the person who wrote the letter now?"

"Reporting to Master Zhang, the man is now waiting in Zi Lan Xuan." said the waiter.

"In that case, please show me the way." Even when facing such a low-level person, Zhang Liang remained as gentle as jade, without any overbearing feeling.

Or maybe he hid it very well.

But no matter what, they are all people of extraordinary bearing.

The sedan chair was ready, and Zhang Liang was about to set off surrounded by a dozen guards.

A clear and lively voice like a silver bell sounded not far away: "Where are you going, Xiao Liangzi?"

"It's just right. This princess is going out too. Please accompany me to play!"

Honglian was standing not far away with a dozen red-armored imperial guards.

He stared at Zhang Liang as if he had discovered some interesting pet.

Zhang Liang felt something was wrong when he heard this familiar voice. He was not good at dealing with Honglian, so he could only bite the bullet and bow, "Greetings, Princess Honglian."

"It's really unfortunate that I have something important to do outside, so I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the princess."

He was well-reasoned, humble and friendly. If it were anyone else, they would not have been embarrassed to force Zhang Liang.

Unfortunately, the person he met was this "unreasonable" princess.

"I do not care!"

"I don't know what my father has been busy with lately and he has no time to accompany me. It's very boring in the palace."

"I finally met you today, don't even think about running away."

Zhang Liang just felt overwhelmed.

The usual methods used against outsiders simply don't work.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate for Her Royal Highness Princess Honglian to go along.

There was a flicker in his eyes, and the contents of the letter emerged in his mind, and he thought of Honglian's identity.

An idea suddenly came to my mind.

"It just so happens that this thing I'm going to do is giving me a headache."

"If we can get the help of Her Royal Highness Princess Honglian, it will become very simple."

"What's so difficult for you?" Honglian looked eager to try: "Since you've asked me for help, I will show mercy and help you!"

"Your Highness the Princess is wise!" Zhang Liang's praise made Honglian even happier.

Even a little too proud of himself.

The two maids nearby felt that this scene was a bit inappropriate, but they did not dare to stop it.

Led by the waiter, they soon arrived at the street in front of Zilanxuan.

Zhang Liang didn't dare to bring Honglian into Zilanxuan and turned around and said, "Princess, please wait a moment."

"The person who asked me to come is inside. I will go meet him and then we can go out together to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"As for that important matter, it can only be handled with this person."

"Go, go, go!"

"He actually made an appointment to meet in a place like this. I don't think he is a good person at all. Xiao Liangzi, you must have been deceived." Honglian obviously didn't like Zilanxuan very much.

Especially when you see those women dressed up beautifully.

It reminded her of a certain woman in the palace, and made her even more annoying.

"Please come upstairs, Young Master Zhang. Young Master Lu Yuan has been waiting for a long time." As soon as Zhang Liang walked into Zilanxuan, Luzhu came forward and led him to the second floor.

At this time, Zhang Liang finally learned Lu Yuan's name.

The door to the box room was opened.

Lu Zhu walked in and said, "Master Lu, Master Zhang Liang has arrived."

Lu Yuan drank the wine in his hand and scratched Caidie's face with his fingers, causing her to giggle.

"My little beauty, it seems I can only drink with you next time."

"I look forward to your arrival at any time, but I'm afraid you will forget about me soon." Caidie looked at Lu Yuan coquettishly.

The tone is resentful.

These women in Zilanxuan have all learned some simple seductive techniques, combined with the smell of alcohol.

It is indeed very easy to affect a man's mind.

No wonder we can always get information out of our guests.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to come so soon. I thought I would have to wait a little longer." Lu Yuan stood up and observed Zhang Liang, while the other party was also observing him.

He has an extraordinary demeanor and is unfathomable.

This was Zhang Liang’s first impression of Lu Yuan.

Zhang Liang bowed and said, "Brother Lu Yuan's letter concerns dozens of children. How dare I neglect it?"

“Where are those children now?”

"I have temporarily placed you in a yard. Come with me and I will take you there now." Taking out the money for the wine and putting it on the table, Lu Yuan took the lead and walked out the door.

At the entrance of Zi Lan Xuan.

Honglian paced back and forth, already becoming a little impatient.

"Why don't you come out?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuan and the other person had already walked out the door.

Fearing misunderstanding, Zhang Liang took the lead in introducing: "Master Lu Yuan, this is our Korean Princess Honglian."

"My humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." Lu Yuan bowed as a gesture of greeting.

Nowadays, people don’t kneel down and prostrate themselves at every turn like in later generations.

Kneel before heaven, kneel before earth, kneel before father, kneel before mother.

Three bows and nine kowtows are required when worshiping heaven and earth and ancestors.

At other times, there is no need to kneel even when attending court.

Of course, if they met "royal relatives" coming out of the palace for inspection, although there was no explicit requirement to kneel to greet them, many ordinary people would still kneel under the pressure of the king's power.

yard.

All the children were gathered by Lu Yuan.
