Chapter 154(1/2)
Lu Lingxi didn't think that writing a storybook was too much a loss. He liked to read this storybook, let alone Tang Fan's writing, so it was naturally good everywhere.
But the news was too shocking, so he didn't react for a long time. He always felt it was not true. He couldn't help but look at the top page of the manuscript several times, and then said in a slightly trembling and excited voice: "Brother Tang, I bought this book, too. I heard it in the teahouse at first! I didn't expect that Mr. Sanqing was you, you were Mr. Sanqing!"
After saying that, he realized that he was a little incoherent, so he blushed and quickly covered up his mistake: "Well, I just want to say, you wrote very well!"
Tang Fan laughed, Lu Lingxi's praise was sincere, anyone could see it, but...
"In the eyes of many people, these things cannot be considered elegant after all. As a court official, it is easier to teach people how to write a message book. I hope you can help me keep it confidential." He said to Lu Lingxi Road.
Lu Lingxi nodded: "I understand, don't worry, Brother Tang, after this manuscript is completed, it will be published. How long are you going to write it?"
After coming back to his senses, he still felt a sense of unreality like a dream. To describe it, it would be like someone he had liked for a long time, and suddenly he found that he lived next door to him. Happiness came too quickly and he was unable to accept this fact for a while.
Tang Fan smiled and said, "After writing about the decline of Chu State, I won't write it."
Lu Lingxi was shocked: "Why is this?!"
Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Where is I free now? I haven't been to the other end of the cabinet's office for a day, and the files are piled up like a mountain?"
Lu Lingxi: "Yes..."
Tang Fan said: "In the past, I wrote a storybook to supplement my family's income. Now my salary is enough to live in my position and do my own affairs. Since I have entered the cabinet, I should do my duty and do my own job well. Have you ever seen the file in the corner in my duty room today?"
Lu Lingxi was a little ashamed: "No."
As soon as he entered, he found that Tang Fan was not here, and immediately became absent-minded. He sat there all day and had no intention of working. He really didn't look at the files on Tang Fan's desk carefully.
Tang Fan said: "Since the implementation of the Ming Dynasty Law, there have been many omissions. I have collected and added a lot of them. I am going to discuss it in the cabinet. You can take it to the room tomorrow and take it to see it. If you have any ideas, you can also tell me."
Lu Lingxi responded, and when he saw that Tang Fan wanted to turn over and get out of bed, he couldn't help but grin, so he stepped forward to stop him: "What do you want to take, I'll help you!"
Tang Fan glanced at him: "I want to get rid of my hands, how can you help?"
Lu Lingxi didn't know what he was thinking, and his face was blushing and daring to speak.
Tang Fan ignored him, got up and went out, and after a moment he came back. He walked a little slow, obviously his waist was fluttering lightly.
Lu Lingxi stepped forward to help him: "Brother Tang, I'll help you rub it!"
Tang Fan naturally said no, but Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "Those who learn martial arts must also understand some massage skills to be prepared for fear of trouble. Don't be polite to me. It will be much easier to rub and make sure you will be fine tomorrow!"
He said as he had already placed his hand on Tang Fan's waist.
Before Tang Fan could say anything, he heard a voice sounding at the door: "What's wrong?"
Tang Fan: "..."
Lu Lingxi turned around and saw the visitor, saying hello: "Commander Sui?"
Sui Zhou nodded at him, glanced over Lu Lingxi's hand placed on Tang Fan's waist, walked over quietly, helped Tang Fan sit by the bed, stretched out his hand to rub him, and said to Lu Lingxi: "Since you are here, why not leave for food?"
Tang Fan also said: "Yes, Yiqing, you are living alone in the capital anyway. Why not serve us supper...Oh, are you killing a pig? It hurts me!"
Suizhou seemed to be nothing: "I accidentally got heavy hands."
Tang Fan twitched the corners of his mouth, dared not speak out if he dared to be angry.
Lu Lingxi always felt that the atmosphere looked a little wrong, as if he had disturbed others by accident. However, for some original intention that was not worthy of being told by outsiders, he decided to obey his wishes: "Then I'll bother."
Suizhou lives next to the Tang family, and Lu Lingxi knows it.
But he didn't expect that the two families had such a good relationship and even had food together.
But this is not what shocked Lu Lingxi the most.
What surprised him the most was that this supper was not burned by the maid of the Tang family, but by Suizhou himself.
Dongpo pork, stir-fried pork loin, stir-fried shrimp roe, chopped gluten, stewed stewed chicken soup, mushroom box, osmanthus fish.
Even if you eat these dishes for three people, it is more than enough.
And it is unimaginable that the leader of the Jinyiwei, who is famous and has a cold face, will wash his hands and make soup at home.
Looking at the dishes in front of you and thinking about the pastries you brought, Lu Lingxi felt ashamed.
But maybe it just looks good, smells fragrant, and tastes average?
With this idea in mind, he tried to pick up a chopstick of osmanthus fish. The meat was tender in the mouth, and the salty fragrance was slightly sweet. That was because the texture could be retained only when the cooking heat was just right.
Maybe it's just that this dish is easy to take.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but secretly complaining, and grabbed another piece of Dongpo pork.
After chewing for a while, he looked at Tang Fan's feasting, and he had to admit...
Suizhou's cooking skills are indeed first-class.
Even a person like Lu Lingxi who is scheming has to be convinced.
Because if this is done by a chef and a maid at home, it is natural at best. Who makes people think about this all day long? But this is done by Suizhou. Everyone knows that the Jinyiwei is not as leisurely as any yamen. Although many of the work done by others cannot be made public, the Jinyiwei commander is at least a third-rank official position, and it is amazing that he can still have such cooking skills.
Lu Lingxi couldn't help but compare himself. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that the only person he could compare with the other party was Wencai, right? Hanlin Jinshi, etc., the other party would not think about it in this life.
Although he was slightly better, he was not happy. Although the food tasted good and Tang Fan kept calling him to eat, Lu Lingxi was always so sad that he couldn't lift it up.
The reason is...
"Runqing was very helpful when he was in Suzhou, and he also treated you as his younger brother. If you have time in the future, you might as well come often." Before leaving, Suizhou personally sent him to the door and said this.
After hearing this, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but feel depressed, thinking that this is not the Tang family, why do you, a man surnamed Sui, feel like the tone of the master?
But Suizhou's aura was too strong. When he spoke polite words with a cold and solemn expression, Lu Lingxi could not hold up any rebuttals even though he was dissatisfied.
On the way home, he was depressed and suddenly was shocked: Could someone with the surname Sui also like Brother Tang?
He was startled by this speculation, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
A person as outstanding as Brother Tang, regardless of gender, naturally tends to be admired. What's more, he also heard that Suizhou had been through life and death with Brother Tang, and the friendship between them was naturally extraordinary. Thinking about the fact that the surname Sui has not yet married...
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
But he couldn't run to Tang Fan to ask questions and answers. The consequence of keeping it in his heart was that he had insomnia all night, so he had two dark circles when he went on duty the next day, which attracted Tang Fan's concern.
After the second day, Lu Lingxi ran to the Tang family again. This time he learned his intelligence and ordered a table of mats from the sycamore building to deliver them to the Tang family. He said that he had eaten at the Tang family yesterday and was frustrated, so he invited Tang Fan to dinner today.
It is natural to say that the level of the seats in the Cymbique Building is not to be said. Tang Fan still retains a habit. Whenever he is free and in the mood, he will always go to the Cymbique Building to eat. In the eyes of others, eating is just a meal. Even if the food is more delicious, it is at most a pleasure. But Tang Fan is different. Delicious food allows him to calm down and think about some things while relaxing. Often, he may have a meal and he may have figured out the things he couldn't understand before.
However, Lu Lingxi didn't know that Tang Fan was a regular visitor to the Xmax Tower. Seeing that Tang Fan seemed to like this table, he didn't forget to please and ask for credit, saying, "If Brother Tang likes it, I'll send you another table tomorrow!"
Tang Fan shook his head and said, "No need. You have just entered the official career and your salary is not much. Even if you have a family background, you have to save some money and don't squander it at will."
Lu Lingxi was about to say it was okay, but Suizhou next to him said: "You went there too many times last month and were injured. You should be more modest in the future."
Tang Fan smiled awkwardly and touched his nose.
"..." Lu Lingxi couldn't resist internal injuries. He was still in the Hanlin Academy last month!
He was completely sure now that Suizhou really had the same thoughts as himself, otherwise how could he be unable to get along with him everywhere?
Lu Lingxi suddenly ignited his fighting spirit.
Think about what I am inferior to Sui Guangchuan, except that I can’t cook?
At least both of them can fight. Although they don’t know the difference between winning and losing, Lu Lingxi asked himself that he would definitely not lose if he became a famous student.
Not to mention that you are still a Hanlin person. Just fighting with literature can get out of the other party’s street.
Lu Lingxi put himself in Tang Fan's shoes, considering it even more from Tang Fan's perspective. A civil official, especially the prime minister of the cabinet, was too close to the head of the Jinyiwei, which was not a good thing no matter how you looked at it. If you provoke the emperor's suspicion, it would inevitably cause harm to Tang Fan.
I wonder if I could see his thoughts, but after dinner, Suizhou suddenly said, "I heard that you have joined Shaolin to learn art?"
Lu Lingxi nodded in confusion and alertness: "Not bad."
Suizhou showed a faint smile: "I have fought with Master Mu Yin in Shaolin and have benefited a lot. I wonder who you are under the name of?"
Somehow, the other party's smile seemed extremely annoying to Lu Lingxi. He said with the flow: "Master Muyin is my master and his martial arts are very good. I have also received his guidance. Since Commander Sui has a destiny to be with my master and has fought with my master, why don't I ask Commander Sui tonight for advice?"
Suizhou nodded: "Yes."
Lu Lingxi was most disgusted with the other party's appearance of being an official and pretending to be calm and gentle. He couldn't help but feel depressed and helpless.
Compared with Suizhou, he was not inferior to that of Suizhou. The only difference was his age. It was because he was so few years younger that he could not experience life and death difficulties with Tang Fan like the other party, and shared joys and sorrows. This was the reason why he felt depressed.
But he is just one step ahead of you, what can I do?
Tang Fan was a typical civil servant and was not very interested in fighting, killing and killing. Seeing that they were going to have a fight, he didn't have the interest to get up to watch immediately. It was Lu Lingxi who asked the other party to be a judge. He slowly got up and walked to the door, and said, "Be careful, don't destroy the flowers, plants and trees."
Lu Lingxi made up his mind to win this competition, so that Tang Fan knew that he was both civil and military, and was more suitable for standing by his side than Suizhou.
The two of them started to fight quickly.
Neither side brought a weapon, and had a bare hands, but his movements were very fast. To the outsiders, they seemed to be just two figures flying up and down, and dozens of moves passed in a blink of an eye. Although Lu Lingxi was young, because of his master's sect, each move was as stable as Mount Tai. On the contrary, Suizhou's moves were even more smooth and did not stick to one pattern, like an antelope hanging its horns, which was easy to pick and deal with, and it was unprepared for the moves.
Soon, Lu Lingxi realized that the gap between him and the other party was not the style of moves, or the amount of experience he had against the enemy. You should know that Lu Lingxi himself had no practical experience when traveling around.
The difference between the two is that Lu Lingxi does not have the courage to kill, so he lacks the murderous intent and murderous intention. Suizhou is tempered from iron and blood, and from the murderous field, so every move is full of sharp edge, which is something the former does not have.
Finally, when the first move was nearly two hundred, Lu Lingxi was distracted and was quickly caught by the other party and kicked him directly on the waist.
Lu Lingxi did not slow down his retreat, and he retreated to the base of the wall and knocked down a pot of flowers before stopping.
He lost.
This fact made him extremely depressed, and even Tang Fan was comforted for a long time but could not recover.
