(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation votes~~)
Evening...
The golden wuxi is drooping, the sky is full of blue clouds, the night has quietly arrived, and it is already dinner time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A servant came to Chen Jie's courtyard and invited Chen Jie to the hall for dinner.
Seeing that the father and daughter of the Lu family were already sitting in a few short places, Chen Jie couldn't help blushing a little, damn, arrive so early...
"Gong Lu, eldest miss, second miss, you are so early~"
Chen Jie greeted the three members of the Lu family with a smile on his face, and then sat down at the back of his short table.
"Hey, it's not early, we've just arrived here. Come on, serve! ā
Mrs. Lu waved his hand with a smile and gave a snort to the servants waiting outside the hall.
The two sisters of the Lu family had different expressions at the moment, Lu Pheasant lowered her head, her pretty face was thin and angry, and she was silent.
Lu Su's eyes were a little dim and absent-minded, his fingers were twisting the hem of his dress, and his eyes were a little fluttering~
Well, this atmosphere is a little weird!!
Chen Jie pouted secretly, it was still important to eat, and he talked to Mrs. Lu before he started eating.
"Duke Lu, I don't know if everything in your house has been settled?"
"The belongings have been settled, but they have not yet settled down, alas..."
Mrs. Lu stroked his beard and sighed slightly, shaking his head, but he didn't continue, waiting for Chen Jie to ask.
"Oh? I don't know what Lu Gong means? Now that they have been settled, why do they say that they have not settled down? ā
Chen Jie felt a little strange, thinking carefully about what Lu Taigong said just now, and suddenly realized that people were saying that they hadn't firmly established themselves here.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her daughter, and found that neither of them wanted to speak, and each had their own thoughts, so she couldn't help but shake her head secretly, and looked at Chen Jie with a sad face:
"Don't hide it from Gongzi Chen, the old man's family offended an enemy earlier, so they were forced to move to P County, but they are not familiar with the place, and if they want to take root here, they still need the approval of local celebrities. However..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu shook his head again, looking helpless, although this is not a big place, but it is intricately rooted, there is no good method, the foundation is shallow, and it is easy to be bullied.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Chen Jie expectantly, hoping that he could make some good suggestions.
"This..."
Chen Jie glanced at Mrs. Lu and found that his eyes were actually shining, and he couldn't help but jump in his heart, and meowed, what labor and management like is Alcoa, what kind of vision do you have...
Hearing Chen Jie's hesitation, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but speak eagerly, "If the son can solve the existential crisis for the Lu family, the old man is willing to marry the eldest son to you." ā
"Poof~"
Chen Jie squirted out in one breath, looking excited, and at a loss again.
Lu Pheasant: "Ah! With a sigh, his face blushed to the base of his neck, his head pressed lower, and he peeked at Chen Jie from time to time~
"Hehe, what the old man said is true, I don't know what the son taught me?"
Mrs. Lu looked at Chen Jie with a smile, and at this moment Chen Jie felt that Mrs. Lu was so cute...
"Daddy! How so? Lu Su exclaimed, but suddenly came back to his senses and heard his father's promise.
"The old man has made up his mind, don't persuade him." Mrs. Lu waved his hand, and his tone was indescribably firm.
"Lu Gong, there is a law below that can allow Lu Gong to take root here.
For the talent of Lu Gong, I am also deeply impressed by it, so that a banquet can be held and all the gentry and celebrities can be invited to gather in the Lu Mansion.
It is proposed to open a school to solve the problem of reading for many children in P County, and serve as a teacher, so that the foundation will be stable. ā
Chen Jie had a calm and confident smile on his face, and he used Yi Xiaochuan's idea in the original book without any guilt.
"In addition, it can also be widely advertised that the specifications of this banquet are the highest in P County, and the invitees will inevitably respond to the clouds."
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Haha~"
Mrs. Lu shouted excitedly, stood up, and looked at Chen Jie with even more satisfaction.
Lu Pheasant's eyes became a little adoring and glowing when he looked at Chen Jie, this is a woman who worships the strong!
Although she is greedy for money and power in the original book, she can't change her female nature of liking heroes and worshipping the strong.
Lu Su was also a little moved at this moment, and his eyes when he looked at Chen Jie became a little different, but he still didn't say anything, and he thought of Yi Xiaochuan in his heart, he should be able to think of this kind of clever plan...
At this time, the meals were served one after another, and after a while, everyone's table was filled.
"Come, virtuous nephew, the old man toasts you, please~"
With a smile, Mrs. Lu raised his glass to invite wine, and in a comfortable mood, this title also became close.
"Okay, uncle, please~" Chen Jie also changed his title, and looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile, both of them were very satisfied...
After saying that, they all drank it all, and both of them were very happy, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Soon after you've had your fill of food...
"Tell the master, Mr. Yi is here outside the door, do you want to bring it in?"
A servant bowed respectfully to report to Mrs. Lu, waiting for Mrs. Lu's reply.
"Oh? Please, bring him in~" Mrs. Lu waved his hand and said with a smile.
Hey, Ogawa is here? I thought he would resolutely run to Yandi to find Tangwu Mountain.
Chen Jie slandered in his heart, still smiling on the surface while drinking water while looking at Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant's face was a little red, and he glanced at Chen Jie and turned his face away like a frightened rabbit, and looked over from time to time, and his heart was also happy.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yi Xiaochuan had already come to the door of the hall.
"Gong Lu, the kid is here to bother again. Third brother, you run so fast, I can't catch up with you. ā
Yi Xiaochuan said hello to Mrs. Lu, and complained to Chen Jie, obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Hehe, Yi Gongzi doesn't need to be polite! Come on, show Yi Gongzi a seat. ā
Mrs. Lu waved his hand with a smile and commanded the servant waiting next to him.
"Xie Lu Gong." Yi Xiaochuan saluted before sitting down.
"Second brother, I didn't say you, I think it's very good here, and I said that I was willing to stay in order to protect the eldest lady, you can go to Yandi by yourself."
Chen Jie looked at Lu Pheasant with an affectionate look, and praised himself in his heart, is he handsome~
Hearing this, Lu Pheasant raised his head again, and when he saw Chen Jie's affectionate gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted...
Yi Xiaochuan sighed helplessly, "I want to leave, but you are the only one in this world, and I don't want to go alone!"
I don't mind even if I'm waiting for you, I just hope you can accompany me to see it then. It's up to you whether you stay or go~"
"Hmm. That's pretty much it. Hehe~ Just now, my uncle has married the eldest lady to me. Don't be envious~"
Chen Jie looked at Yi Xiaochuan with a smug smile on his face, obviously in a good mood now, and couldn't help but tell his friends the good news.
"What? So fast? Yi Xiaochuan was shocked and stunned...
"Hehe, Yi Gongzi doesn't know, just now the virtuous nephew fulfilled the conditions of the old man, so he promised the pheasant to him."
Mrs. Lu stroked his beard and smiled, and explained a few words briefly to Yi Xiaochuan.
Lu Su secretly looked at Yi Xiaochuan and found that the other party didn't look at him at all, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, could it be that he really didn't feel for himself?
"Isn't it?"
Yi Xiaochuan closed his mouth wide open, still in disbelief.
"Haha, of course. I do what I say!! The second lady and you are quite a good match, do you want a good thing in pairs?! Hee-hee~"
Chen Jie said to Lu Su Nunu, and said to Yi Xiaochuan with eyebrows.
Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but look at Lu Su, and found that the other party was looking at him steadily, and immediately turned his head away.
"What are you kidding, I'm going home. I don't stay here to get married. ā
Yi Xiaochuan's head shook like a rattle, and he firmly rejected this proposal.
Lu Su's eyes became eclipsed, he bit his lower lip lightly, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and he seemed to cry at any time.
I saw Lu Su suddenly stand up, turn around and run in a hurry, without even saying hello to Mrs. Lu.
"It's... Alas..."
Lu Taigong pointed at Lu Su, sighed, and put his hand down again, how could he not hope that his daughter could find happiness, but how could it be so easy~
"Daddy, my daughter is going to see Susu!"
Lu Pheasant suddenly stood up, said goodbye to Mrs. Lu, and then turned around and ran to Lu Su's room, but he wanted to comfort him, so as not to have any accident with his little sister.
Yi Xiaochuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said apologetically to Mrs. Lu, "I'm sorry, Gong Lu." The kid was also unintentional, but I didn't expect the second lady to be like this..."
"Alas~ That's it, the old man is also a little tired, so the virtuous nephew and Yi Gongzi should also go down to rest.
Come on, prepare a guest room for Yi Gongzi. The old man retired first! Please~"
Mrs. Lu shook his head helplessly, ordered the servant, and said goodbye to Chen Jie and Yi Xiaochuan, but he was not in the mood to continue to stay here.
Chen Jie rolled his eyes and said angrily to Yi Xiaochuan, "You are really good." There are women who like you, and you push them out. I'm really convinced~
Let's go, don't stay here to be cool!! ā
Yi Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly and left with Chen Jie, but this guest room was arranged in the same courtyard, and the two rooms were next to each other, ready to continue chatting.
Coming to the table and sitting down, Chen Jie poured a glass of water for Yi Xiaochuan and poured himself another glass.
"Tell me, why is it so late?"
"Alas... It's hard to say in one word~" Yi Xiaochuan sighed, drank the water, and then slowly spoke...
