Someone exclaimed, apparently recognizing the boy, a voice that was neither loud nor small, but enough for everyone in the temple to hear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Sun Lu, the head of Duanwang's Mansion, is only 13 years old this year, so it can only be the boy in the robe, who is the young man in the lead? The young generation of Duanwangfu are all dead or disabled, and who can come here on behalf of the old prince? Looking at this identity and bearing, even Lu Qinian beside him is much inferior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the juniors are late, so punish yourself three cups first!" the young man said in a loud voice.

Everyone couldn't figure out this person, and when they thought of the strength of Duanwangfu, they got out of the way. The young man walked in, arrived at the main table, poured himself three glasses of wine, drank it boldly, looked around the hall with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "The first time we met, the younger generation Duan Wangfu's fourth son, Lu Jiu, attended on behalf of the old father, and it was polite." ”

The quiet hall suddenly exploded, when did Duanwangfu have a son? The fourth son of Duanwangfu has never heard of it!

The celebrities all had different thoughts, looking at Lu Jiu who suddenly appeared with strange expressions, they were all thoughtful people, everyone knew what it meant for a fourth son to suddenly appear in Duanwangfu, that piece of fat meat was afraid that it would not be able to eat for a while, how heart-wrenching this situation was!

"Hmph, why doesn't this overseer know when Duanwang Ye will have another son!" The first to be unstable was the overseer Jiang Chengyuan, he was not from a high background, but with his brute force and vicious methods, he was the strongest real power faction in the capital except for Duanwangfu.

Lu Qinian lowered his eyes, and personally took the celadon basin in the handmaiden's hand to Lu Jiu to clean his hands, with a respectful attitude and did not dare to slack off.

Lu Jiu didn't speak, cleaned his hands, and looked at Jiang Chengyuan Jiang Overseer with a smile.

The people present saw Lu Qinian's respect in their eyes, if it weren't for Lu Qinian's elders, with Lu Qinian's cold temperament and noble identity, they would be so respectful to this young man who suddenly appeared? Thinking of this, the doubts in their hearts also disappeared a lot.

Lu Jiu said slowly: "Presumably, the Overseer knows that there are three sons and one fifth lady in Duanwangfu, that is, the hereditary Wugege, but where is the fourth child? He paused, "Duanwangfu didn't say that there was no such fourth son." ”

There was an uproar in the venue again! The four sons of Duanwangfu, yes, there are only three sons and one five-grid in Duanwangfu, what about the fourth?

Looking at Lu Jiu again, I saw that he was wearing an elegant tuxedo, with a straight waist and back, and he inherited the good looks that the Lu family has always had, with a noble demeanor in his gestures, and a bit of domineering decisiveness.

Lu Qinian took a cup of tea and bowed to the end of his eyebrows.

"Fourth uncle, you use tea. The young man's voice was cold, awakening the deep thoughts of those present.

"Hmm. Lu Jiu answered unhurriedly, took the cup, and in the midst of the steam, he lowered his eyes and looked at everyone's faces, with a faint smile on his lips.

Jiang Chengyuan glared at Lu Jiu angrily, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if someone was also staring at him, the moment he raised his head, he met the eyes of the foreigner next to Lu Jiu, those green and cold eyes were like wolf eyes, exuding a cold murderous aura. Jiang Chengyuan was chilled, quickly turned his head, snorted coldly, slapped the table and shouted: "Damn, can't you sing the scene on it?"

Immediately the stage burst into lively music, and the scene became lively again.

A dinner lasted for four hours before it ended, almost everyone went to Lu Jiu to toast during the banquet, Lu Jiu did not refuse, they all drank boldly, until the banquet was dispersed, there were still people who remembered the fourth son, a hundred cups of flowers carved but not drunk, the words were even more wise and resourceful, and the handsome and affectionate demeanor made many girls blush.

Since the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, this huge Beijing master suddenly lost the tension of seven points, and the gate of Duanwang's Mansion was even more crowded, and the powerful people in Beijing and famous families outside Beijing came one after another, just to see the demeanor of the fourth prince.

In 1922, the Qixi Festival, ten miles of red makeup, the four sons of the young Duanwangfu and the famous prostitute Feng Qinghong in the capital got married, at that time Feng Qinghong was seven months pregnant, and the four sons announced that they loved Feng Qinghong in this life, and how many girls were hurt for a while.

On Chinese New Year's Eve of the same year, in the courtyard of the deep mansion of Duanwang's Mansion, a 6-year-old boy toasted a cup of tea from the teacher, and from then on, the fourth prince of the famous Jingshi was followed by a little apprentice named He Xi.

Lu Hexi still remembers the Chinese New Year's Eve in 1922, Duanwang's Mansion lit many beautiful fireworks, the time has long passed, the moonlight is very pale, she sits in the cat from the pavilion, Lu Jiu sits at the water's edge fishing, although she is only seven years old, but she is not sleepy at all at this late, she just looks at Lu Jiu curled up in her mink coat, Lu Jiu does not move, she does not speak. Sweet potatoes are roasted in the oven, and the sweet aroma is particularly attractive.

The Diaoyutai was far away from the shore of the lake, and the sound of the maid beating the watch came from afar, which made the night a little lively.

"Hexi. Lu Jiu sighed in a low voice, "What should I do, I miss your father so much." ”

Lu Hexi obediently ran to Lu Jiu's side and reached out for Lu Jiu to hold her in his arms.

Lu Hexi called cautiously: "Mother." ”

"Hmm. Lu Jiu hugged her daughter's soft body, "He Xi, if my mother becomes bad, will you blame me?"

"Mother's not going to be bad. Lu Hexi looked up at Lu Jiu's delicate jaw, "Daddy said that my mother is the best woman in the world." ”

Lu Jiu was speechless for a long time, but two lines of tears crossed his cheeks and landed on the soft mink, and soon disappeared.

Seven years have passed, and it is Diaoyutai again, the spring breeze is green, the water and blue sky are scarlet. Lu Hexi stood in the thatched pavilion, she seemed to still be able to smell the clean smell of ice and snow, as well as the shallow lotus fragrance on Lu Jiu's body.

Lu Hexi sat on the Diaoyutai for a while, she took a look here, the huge back garden of the palace, except for the yard where her uncle Lu Ming lived before, added some Western-style furniture, the other yards and rooms were empty, but every grass and tree in the garden was carefully taken care of, she couldn't figure out who bought this garden, the external defense here was very tight, but there was no guard in the yard at all.

She waited a little longer, and was relieved to see that no one had come out.

The Lu family doesn't miss the old, and she didn't come here to touch the scene, but for what Lu Jiu left her. She looked at the rippling lake, suddenly took off her clothes and jumped down, even in the spring, the lake was still cold, she swam to the middle of the platform, three gold chains hung a small golden silk nanmu box, the waterproof and moth-proof gold and precious wood is still hard, Lu Hexi took out a dagger and pried open the wooden box, there was half a jade pendant inside, and the hollow carved white crane and blue lotus picture were vivid.

Turning ashore and putting on a woolen trench coat, her little face was pale from the cold. Holding half a jade pendant in his hand, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Since the death of her three uncles and Lu Jiu's return to the capital, she has never done anything superfluous in her life. Therefore, Lu Jiu would not sneak her here to swim on a big winter night, nor would he suddenly talk to her about the Chinese New Year's Eve they spent in Diaoyutai. She just suddenly remembered that Lu Jiu had fallen into this lake on a winter night, and after being rescued, he was seriously ill for three days, and after waking up, his temperament changed greatly, and he became a well-known demon king in the capital for a while.

The moment Lu Hexi looked at the lake, she intuitively felt that Lu Jiu must have put something into the lake when he suddenly fell into the water.
