Chapter 52
The next day, Lu Jue, his seventh brother Lu Xun, and the newly married Yan'er's wife, Yang, sat on a luxurious oxcart decorated with pearls and jade, draped with tassels, and painted with gold lacquer, and came to the gate of Xu's manor surrounded by many subordinates, attendants, maidservants and servants.

As the representatives of the main family, Xu Heng and Xu Hui waited at the second gate, and when the three members of the Lu family came to the second gate by board, Xu Hui and Xu Heng exchanged a tacit look. Then, Xu Hui silently took a step back, while Xu Heng took a step forward slightly, blocking his sister with his body without a trace, so that others could not see all her expressions. After doing all this, Xu Hengfang raised the smile that belonged to the children of the family that was bent just right, gentle but without any meaning, and his tone was very warm, but without any emotion: "Lu Langjun came from afar, it's really hard!" β
Hearing that Xu Heng had a slightly unkind attitude with a gun and a stick, Lu Xun frowned slightly, but because his brother was on the side, he didn't say anything, but Yang's face turned cold on the spot. However, Lu Jue himself smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Compared to Shangdang County, Huiji is indeed farther away." β
Xu Heng saw Lu Jue's brilliant counterattack, one was not angry, and the other did not fight back, his expression softened not to mention, and there was more sincerity in his tone: "Although Huiji is far away, it is extremely prosperous, compared to Yingchuan, it is not much, even if it is farther, it is worth it." β
Xu Hui, who was secretly observing the expressions of the three people, couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw Lu Jue showing a hint of relief undetectably.
Since he values Lu Jue, he naturally didn't let the other party see the truth of his family's true temperament, anyway, he wouldn't be a person who had long-term contact, how could he not hide it? Lu Jue is smart, and Xu Heng and Xu Hui are not bad!
It was with this idea in mind that the two brothers and sisters muttered all night, negating one plan after another, and then decided on today's strategy - Xu Heng provoked Lu Jue first, made a proud talent, and planned to see if Lu Jue, who was also famous and praised by others, was a vain person. If the other party easily resolves it, it will show the meaning of sympathy, and the tone will be relaxed and soft, so that the other party can relax their vigilance.
Anyway, Xu Heng's reputation for strange nature has long been widely known, and it is better for Lu Jue to think that Xu Heng is a "man of temperament" who is easier to deal with than to let Lu Jue know the scheming and scheming hidden under Xu Heng's arrogant appearance, isn't it?
However, this is not enough.
If you always hold the initiative in the palm of your hand, with Lu Jue's ability, you can guess that you are being designed in three clicks, and maybe you can be anti-customer-oriented. Therefore, they need to put the initiative in the hands of the other party in a timely manner so that the other party will not be suspicious. With Xu Hui's understanding of the Yang family, she doesn't need to do anything at all, as long as she stands obediently and doesn't say anything, the Yang family will take the initiative to behave.
"There are always so many topics that you men talk about, and it's really not interesting to listen to." As Xu Hui expected, the Yang family showed a cowardly look, "I heard that the former clan wife of the Xu family, Mrs. Zhong, who was born in Yingchuan, has both a talented and a good reputation, and her reputation for virtue is even more widely known. β
After that, she looked at Xu Hui, with a smile that seemed gentle, but was actually arrogant and domineering that could not be refused, and "politely" "asked for advice": "This girl, can you take me to meet Mrs. Zhong to discuss some topics of her daughter's family?" β
Hearing Yang say this, Xu Heng couldn't help but secretly admire his sister's cleverness.
Lu Jue's wife, Yang Qing, was born in the Yang family of Wuxing County, and was the daughter of the last daughter of the saint and the eldest of the many daughters, Princess Yicheng. She was born from a noble background, born beautiful, although her temperament was a little arrogant and savage, but she did not lose her general body, and she was deeply liked by the saints, and made an exception to make her a county lord who could only be crowned by the daughters of kings.
Such an arrogant and conceited woman, deeply connected with the royal family, between the Xu family and the Zhong family, naturally instinctively favored the Zhong family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, and is also in-law with her little uncle, Xu Hui has no doubt that the Yang family will definitely do something to prove the nobility of the royal family. After all, this is a woman who feels that her husband is not angry, so she would rather give up the position of the Lu family's housewife and divorce from her!
This kind of character is arrogant and stubborn, and he is not so smart - he can't even see the true level of the pillow person who has been with him for ten years; Nor is it so softβin the most inopportune moment, leaving her husband behind; But she doesn't understand where the bottom line of her strength is, she always treats others as fools, and she is naturally not as smart as herself, for Xu Hui, she is no opponent at all, and guessing her words and deeds is a trivial matter.
Lu Jue was a little unhappy about his wife's self-assertion, but the two of them were in the newlywed period, and their relationship was still good; the second is respect for his wife, both for herself and for her identity; The third is that as long as he is not in the palace, the battle between women is just like that, so Lu Jue nodded lightly and said to Xu Hui: "There is a labor girl." β
Xu Hui restrained all his sharpness and coldness, just like himself in his previous life, gentle as water, and flawless. I saw that she smiled shyly and timidly like all girls who saw Lu Jue's demeanor for the first time and was fascinated by it, then lowered her head and didn't say anything.
The more you talk, the more flaws you may expose, and at this time, it's best not to say anything.
Seeing this, Xu Heng's eyes wandered slightly, and he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body.
His own throwing knife pierced a quasi; The bow and crossbow can't be said to hit a hundred shots, but it can also hit seven or eight times; I don't know how many straw men have been damaged by practicing the knife technique, and it seems that I have compared real people to the girl who studied how to kill people faster, and she can show such a look...... Even if he knew that she was pretending, Xu Heng would ...... couldn't accept it, so he coughed and said according to Xu Hui's previous explanation: "Hui'er, aunt, her mood ...... You'd better go and see your aunt first, and then invite your guests......"
Although he said it vaguely, everyone thought they had guessed what was going on when they heard it, and they showed a look of understanding.
Compared with Xu Heng's entanglement, Yang Qing subconsciously showed a trace of annoyance when she saw Xu Hui's expression, but she was more proud. Because she understands that no matter how many people love Lu Jue, the only one who can stand side by side with him is her, a legitimate wife. How beautiful it is to have such a perfect husband and enjoy the jealous gaze of the same sex? Of course, Yang Qing was relieved after seeing Xu Heng tear his beautiful sister apart.
Women, trapped in a small world every day, have nothing to do, so they naturally study dressing up as a housekeeper. Yang Qing's social circle is the most noble layer among the women of Daqi, and her vision has long been sharpened. She could see at a glance that Xu Hui didn't use any rouge gouache at all, nor did he dress up carefully, but even so, the other party's appearance was ......
At a young age, he looks like this, how can he get it when he grows up? An opponent of this level would naturally be best if they could be isolated.
Xu Hui didn't go to Xu Su as everyone thought, she just sent Ah Yuan to do this thing that she didn't care about at all, about the fight between women, and she walked to a dark room, sat on a stone bench embedded in the ground, leaned on the side of the brass pipe, and held her breath.
The only way to eavesdrop without being discovered is to build a dark room at the bottom or edge of the room, pass a hollow copper pipe through without a trace, and with a little skill, you can hear a faint sound coming from the wind.
For Xu Hui, who is limited by her female identity and cannot be like her brother, she can participate in this meeting openly, even if her brother repeats it to him thousands of times, it is not as shocking as listening to it on the spot. Because of eavesdropping, she was able to chew and figure out the content of this sentence repeatedly before the next sentence came out, thinking about what she should do if it was herself. If it is repeated afterwards, such an atmosphere and effect will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it will not play a good role in training.
Xu Ze acquiesced to his granddaughter's actions, and the only condition was that she was not allowed to make a sound and be noticed by outsiders.
I don't know why, when I was about to walk to the door of the main hall, Lu Xun's clogs suddenly made a crisp sound. Seeing that the people in the four groups were a little stunned, Lu Jue didn't have time to think about why his younger brother was so distracted that he was so ugly, so he showed his usual warm smile and said slowly: "Xun has admired the name of Xu Fujun for a long time, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to visit Fujun, and he has always cited it as a pity." When I saw it today, I got what I wanted, I was overjoyed, and I hope that you will forgive me. β
When Xu Ze heard this, he smiled slightly: "I am also extremely happy to be so respected by Lu Langjun, please sit down." β
Lu Jue nodded lightly, sat down on the left side of Xu Ze, and faced Xu Heng. Xu Ze stroked the beard that had only grown up recently, and said calmly: "A cup of tea, a few plates of fruits, and a chat about hospitality, what do you two think?" β
"Very good."
Among the four people present, even Lu Xun, who was a little impetuous, was far more tense than ordinary people. Therefore, their topic revolved around clear tea, and began to discuss turbidity from the perspective of metaphysics, as a metaphor for the tea ceremony. Xu Hui wiped the cold sleeve knife repeatedly, patiently waiting for them to get to the point.
The topic of the four of them went from tea to Qing, from Qing to metaphysics, and then to this school dispute. At this time, Lu Jue said to Xu Ze: "A few days ago, Dr. Qin of Yuzhang County wrote "Three Broken Theories", saying that Buddhism will break the country when it enters the country, and if it enters the family, it will break the family, and if it enters the body, it will break the body, I don't know what Xu Fujun thinks? β
Hearing his question, whether it was Xu Hui, Xu Heng or Lu Xun, they all completely cheered up. Because they all understand that the first few inconsequential encounters were just small tests, and Lu Jue's real temptation is only here now!
Xu Ze didn't answer this question directly, but pushed it back with a gentle push: "What does Lu Langjun think?" (To be continued.) )
