Chapter 82: Picking up guests
In the General's Mansion, a manservant led Lin Luo and the three of them to the hall, they walked through the courtyard layer by layer, Lin Luo and Lin Xun both knew a lot about this place, only Tanggu Creek walked while watching the surrounding scenery. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Although the Qi Mansion is magnificent, and the pavilions and pavilions are comparable to those in the palace, the people in the mansion are not prosperous.
Mrs. Qi died of illness in her early years, and General Qi had not married for many years, and Qi Yu, as the only son in the family, was obsessed with the art of war and tactics all day long, or rested in the Shuiyun Pavilion to recuperate, and never thought about marrying and starting a family. However, General Qi was generous and did not restrain his son much, so he also went with him.
Along the way, Tang Guxi also learned about the bits and pieces of Qi Mansion from Lin Xun's mouth. It was originally Lin Luo and Lin Xun, who had lived in Qi Mansion for a while before arriving in Shengge. They originally had no relationship with the Qi Mansion, but they had a letter handed over to them by the master in their hands, and explained that after they came to Liangyu, if there was anything difficult, they just came to the General's Mansion and handed over the letter to General Qi.
It just so happened that when they passed through Xuanyang City that day, they accidentally rescued a woman, who was dressed in rags and was kneeling on the streets of the grass market to sell herself to bury her father, but she was bullied by street bullies. Lin Luo and the others naturally came to the rescue, and after punishing the bully, all the money in their hands was given to the woman.
The two of them, who were stretched thin, thought of the letter in the package at that time. So he came to the general's mansion and handed the letter to the doorman, which was a helpless move.
Speaking of that letter, although it was handed over to them by Shiniang herself, it was not written by her. Shi Niang just said that the person who wrote the letter was her old friend and a noble person in the palace. More than ten years ago, the noble man had an acquaintance with General Qi, so he wrote the letter so that they could have a place to live when they needed it.
Moreover, if the two of them can really find the orphan, when they return to Liangyu, they can also live in the general's mansion and use the time to obtain the jade seal. Shi Niang swore to them that as long as the letter was handed over to General Qi, they would inevitably be entertained by the good students in the general's mansion.
Strange to say, on the day the general received the letter, he just read it as soon as possible, and then ordered his subordinates to arrange food and accommodation for the two of them. Just as he was about to go to the backyard to meet them, he was suddenly summoned to the garrison, where he stayed for three months. When he returned from quelling the rebellion on the border, Lin Luo and the others had already driven north and left Qi Mansion.
Returning to Qi Mansion this time, everyone in the mansion knew that they were nobles, so even if the owner of the family was not there, they would not dare to slack off. One of the doormen had already gone to the market to inform Qi Gongzi, and the rest of the people led the three into the mansion.
Since Lin Xun arrived in Xuanyang, he was overjoyed along the way, chattering non-stop, and it seemed that he was in a good mood. And Lin Luo still had an indifferent expression, whether she was happy or worried, she couldn't see it on her face.
"Tang Guxi, do you see the pattern in this general's mansion, how is it different from your Tang Mansion?" Lin Xun asked as he walked on the verandah.
Tang Guxi's gaze had not yet been withdrawn, he had been looking around and observing the surroundings, and said happily: "The General's Mansion is magnificent, with many courtyards and beautiful scenery, which can be compared to my home?" β
"Haha, it's good if you know."
"What are you happy about, no matter how good this Qi Mansion is, it is not your home."
"So what," Lin Xun argued, "it's not my home, it's better than my home." You don't know, Brother Qi is not only Wen Taowu and strategic, but also treats people well. I think that the two of us lived here for half a month, and we were accompanied by Brother Qi all day long, either going outside to ride and shoot in the mountains or playing chess at home, and those days were so unhappy! β
Tang Guxi was stunned for a moment, stopped his footsteps, turned around and asked, "Weren't you in a hurry?" Why do you have the leisure to spend so many days here? β
Lin Xun was stunned at first, then glanced at Lin Luo with a faint gaze, and said with a smile: "It's not because the two of them compete all day long, and the competition is endless, Brother Qi said that we have to compare seventy-seven moves, otherwise we won't be able to compare in one day, so we won't let us go." So, my sister compared him to seventy-seven moves, and finally it was a tie...... That's what let us go. β
"Tie?" Tang Guxi was shocked and turned his head to look at Lin Luo, "Is there anyone else who can tie with you?" Haha, I'm a long insight, I'll have to take a good look at this Qi Gongzi later! β
"Don't underestimate Brother Qi," Lin Xunzheng said Xingtou, "Brother Qi is the son of Liang Yu's only general, and he went out with his father when he was young, leading troops to fight, and there has been no shortage of military achievements in the past few years. In the palace, he is deeply loved by the king, and if he is related by blood, he should call the king his uncle. β
"Uncle?"
Lin Xun nodded and approached Tang Guxi, "The deceased Mrs. Qi is the younger sister of the current king, Princess Ziyang. β
"Alright, let's get inside." Lin Luo, who had been silent for a long time on the side, said suddenly, and walked forward after speaking, his eyes did not stay on the two of them for half a minute. The manservant next to him looked at it, weighed it, and hurriedly followed.
The three of them sat in the hall for a long time, and after drinking a few cups of tea on the table, they heard a voice in the courtyard. Tang Guxi was excited, wanting to meet this young general who could tie with her "master" immediately, in her impression, after the polishing of Lin Xun's words, this Qi Gongzi who had never met had already had a vague outline, which was generally not bad.
Lin Luo, who was sitting on the other chair, still looked calm, and Tang Guxi faintly felt that since entering the Qi Mansion, Lin Luo had not said much, and he didn't see any joy on his face, as if he was always thinking about something.
Lin Xun couldn't bear it at first, stood up and walked towards the door, but before he could reach the door, he was bumped into by a figure who broke in.
"Brother Qi!" Lin Xun stopped, his face full of red light.
The person who came in in a hurry was stunned for a moment when he saw the face in front of him, then straightened up, quickly collected the hurried look on his face, and then regained his calm expression, and smiled at him: "Lin Xun." β
"It's me, it's me." Lin Xun smirked, and then made a move that shocked Tang Guxi, and at the same time as he finished saying that, he actually rushed forward and hugged Qi Yu, who was straight. Suddenly, like a child, he couldn't stick to Qi Yu's body.
Lin ...... Lin Xun, what are you doing, ...... Let go. Qi Yu was held by him, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he had to stretch out to the front, looking ahead with an embarrassed face, as if he was begging Lin Luo for help.
Lin Luo, who was on the chair, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this scene, but he quickly returned to normal and ignored it as if he didn't see it.
Tang Guxi couldn't help but stand up, first saw Qi Yu's appearance clearly, and sure enough, as Lin Xun said, his appearance was dignified but majestic, his sword eyebrows were bright, and his expression was free and easy. Although he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, he didn't see the smell of fat powder at all, and he couldn't find half of the lazy air of his son's brother, and his footsteps and posture were people who practiced martial arts. In addition, the heroism and heroism of the perennial march can also be seen.
She saw Qi Yu's eyes asking Lin Luo for help, and saw Lin Luo's expression pretending not to see, and after thinking about it for a while, she had a general understanding of it. Although Tang Guxi said that he acted recklessly and spoke quickly, he was also a smart person, so he laughed secretly, walked forward, and said: "Lin Xun, I don't think there is anyone in this world who can let you see it, but I didn't expect that your actions today were really beyond my expectations." Your brother Qi can make you lose your temper like this, I see how you will make fun of me in the future! β
Lin Xun let Qi Yu go, turned around and said, "What about the gaffe, anyway, there are no outsiders in this house, what can you do with me?" β
Tang Guxi sneered and ignored him.
"This isβ"
"In the Lower Don Valley Creek." Tang Guxi hurriedly said and bowed.
Qi Yu let out a long "oh", seemed to remember, raised his eyes to look at her, and arched his hand: "Miss Tang is polite, under Qi Yu." β
"Young Master Qi, I've admired my name for a long time." Tang Guxi smiled slightly.
When Qi Yu heard this, he raised his head and laughed, looked at her and said, "Miss Tang, I have also 'admired the name for a long time'. β
"I think you two of you, don't 'look up to each other' for a long time. Now that you are so polite and polite, I promise that within three days, all kinds of courtesies between us will disappear! Lin Xun waved his hand.
Qi Yu squinted at him and snorted coldly, "I didn't disappear with you." With that, he chuckled and walked forward. Lin Xun and Tang Guxi glanced at each other, each snorted, and then returned to their seats and sat down.
When Qi Yu walked in front of Lin Luo, his pace slowed down slightly, turned around, and faced Lin Luo, with an indescribable smile on his face, and when he was about to speak, Lin Luo suddenly stood up.
"Qi Gongzi." She bowed, "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." β
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face became even deeper, the corners of his eyebrows rose slightly, and he bowed and saluted: "Don't come to harm." His gaze was still fixed on Lin Luo's face, until he turned around and sat down in front of the chair, then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, sideways picked up a cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.
"I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. I thought that the next time I met with the two of you, I was afraid that I would have to wait for a year or two, but I didn't think that it would be just half a year, and you two would take her ......"
"Young Master Qi," Lin Luo suddenly interrupted him, "Let's talk about the recent situation in the mansion." β
Qi Yu stopped, his eyes glanced at the faces of the three of them, seeing Lin Xun's expression hinting at him, and seeing Tang Guxi's blank expression, he had a fortune in his heart. Therefore, he smiled slightly and said to Lin Luo: "It turns out that Miss Lin is so concerned about the current situation in my house." Since I am concerned, why haven't I written in the past six months, so that I can know the safety of the two of you. β
"Thank you for your concern."
"Hey, Brother Qi, it's not that we don't want to communicate with you, we really don't have time. You don't know, after we arrived in Linqing, we met a group of people from the dart game, and then for various reasons, we had to follow them......"
"General, you're back." Lin Xun was talking, when he suddenly heard a servant's voice outside the door, and then he heard a sound of footsteps gradually approaching, as if he was walking from a corner to the door.
"It's my father back." Qi Yu put down the teacup.
