Chapter 52: A Conspiracy Strikes
Chapter 52: Conspiracy Strikes
As soon as Liu Mingyue's words fell, a man and a woman came out from the back of the courtyard, and a man and a woman were followed by a few maids. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the men are about forty years old, and the women are about the same age. This man is Liu Mingyue's father, he looks honest, and he is very friendly when he smiles, and although Liu Mingyue's mother is in her forties, she still has charm, and at first glance, Liu Mingyue's genes are a little more with her mother.
At that moment, after Liu Mingyue introduced Zhao Xinling and his parents, Zhao Xinling gave gifts to the two elders one by one. Liu Mingyue's father helped Zhao Xinling up and said, "The virtuous nephew must be hungry too, let's go into the house, let's eat." Zhao Xinling nodded yes, as the two elders entered the courtyard at the back, this showed that Liu Mingyue's family did not treat Zhao Xinling as an outsider, and ordinary people feasted in the front yard, and the backyard was the residence of the female dependents, and there were no male guests.
arrived in the backyard and entered the main hall, Zhao Xinling was arranged to sit at Liu's father's hand, a big table in front of Zhao Xinling, Liu Mingyue sat opposite Zhao Xinling, Liu Mingyue was next to Liu's mother, Zhao Xinling was also quite restrained, but there was a feeling of a hairy son-in-law visiting his mother-in-law. It's all mothers-in-law who look at their sons-in-law, and the more they look at it, the happier they become, but Zhao Xinling was seen by the two old people with straight hairs in her heart, especially Liu's mother, who looked at Zhao Xinling and nodded straight, and muttered a few words to Liu Mingyue from time to time.
As soon as Liu's father waved his hand, the maid ring at home began to serve the food, and Zhao Xinling determined that Liu Mingyue's invitation to eat at home was premeditated by Liu Mingyue. The sixteen dishes that came up were basically all those that flew in the sky and swam in the water, and there were some dishes that ordinary people could not see, and according to the conditions of Liu Mingyue's family, they could not be eaten at every meal.
After a while, the dishes were all served, so he began to eat, during which Liu's father wanted Zhao Xinling to drink, but Zhao Xinling shirked it on the grounds that it was not suitable for drinking in kung fu. The first dish is called the concubine egg, which is to put the golden silk bird's egg in the belly of the concubine chicken, and after the concubine chicken is cooked, the concubine chicken is cut open and eats the eggs inside, because the meat of the concubine chicken after soaking is already astringent and not so delicious. If you haven't eaten it, or if you rarely eat it, you'll eat the meat of the chaise chicken, and if you can eat it, you won't eat chicken. This dish costs dozens of taels of silver. Another dish is the black fish tongue, which is specially made from the tongue of the black fish, and a dish requires about 200 black fish, which is also very valuable, and ordinary people can't eat the taste.
Zhao Xinling opened his mouth and called out the guessed name, and the way to eat it was correct, which made Liu's father even more enthusiastic about Zhao Xinling. After eating, Father Liu took out his tea and tasted it with Zhao Xinling, chatted, during which Father Liu found that Zhao Xinling also knew tea very well, Father Liu changed several kinds of tea in a row, Zhao Xinling knew the name of the tea as long as he smelled the fragrance of tea, the origin and grade, if it was not for Liu Mingyue's presence, it is estimated that Father Liu could put his arm around Zhao Xinling's shoulder and call Zhao Xinling big brother.
It was also dark, and after Zhao Xinling repeatedly said goodbye, he went home except for the Liu family, and the three-person meeting of the Liu family had just begun. Liu's father spoke first: "The child is his mother, I think this young man is good, the family background is still very good, you look at a few dishes on the table, everyone will eat, which shows that the conditions of this child's family do not have to be bad for us at least, after the meal, we drink tea in one period, this kid knows more about the tea ceremony than me, if it weren't for everyone's children, who would have the energy to learn the tea ceremony." And the conversation is funny and elegant, and the tutor is much better than many businessmen's children, I estimate that this kid's family is definitely a strong party, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't cultivate such a child. But in this case, I am not optimistic about our daughter and his future, such a family is only afraid that we will not be able to climb high. ”
Mother Liu and Liu Mingyue thought it was true after hearing it, but Mother Liu said: "Actually, it's not necessarily, Xinling, this kid I also asked when I was eating, and you all heard it, he didn't go to the Crescent Moon Martial Academy, and his cultivation was in the early stage of the Forging Body Realm, and this talent can only be said to be average in the big family, so as long as it is average, we will have a chance, and we have seen fewer children of the family in this martial arts?" The average child of the family is actually like that, there is not much money, and the power is a little bit, I think our daughter is really not high. ”
Father Liu thought for a while: "Well, madam, what you said makes sense, you see that he lives alone in Wudu, and he doesn't send a servant or anything at home, so he must not be very valued at home." It's a good thing if the momentum is like this, he is not valued at home, so we can leave him in Wudu, and it will not be very good for the two children to live in Wudu at that time. And Liu Mingyue said at this time: "Father, mother, you both think this person is not bad, right?" Liu's father and mother both nodded. Father Liu said: "Child, you still have to go through the investigation and inspect him, you can't fall into it early, you must confirm that this person's character is okay before we can make up our minds." Liu Mingyue nodded, and she was also secretly determined in her heart.
And Zhao Xinling didn't know the conversation between the father and daughter of the Liu family when he returned home, let alone that a conspiracy against him was about to begin. After Zhao Xinling went home to practice, he slept until dawn. After breakfast the next day, he went to Musashi Pagoda to read the information, and this time it was the last day of the thirty-day reward that Zhao Xinling obtained.
When Zhao Xinling came out of Musashi Tower, it was getting dark, and when Zhao Xinling returned home, he found Liu Mingyue squatting at the door of his house waiting for him. As soon as Liu Mingyue saw Zhao Xinling coming back, she immediately cried and greeted her. Zhao Xinling immediately walked over and wiped Liu Mingyue's tears, and asked Liu Mingyue what happened. Liu Mingyue cried and said that her father was arrested by the yamen, and Liu's mother went to find a friend to ask for a relationship. Liu Mingyue felt that she was useless and couldn't help, so she kept crying.
After Zhao Xinling comforted Liu Mingyue, Zhao Xinling took Liu Mingyue to find a money bank, and took two hundred taels of gold bars, ten taels of one, a full twenty, and then Zhao Xinling went to the door of the yamen to find a catcher to go out, and gave ten taels of silver to let the catcher help make an appointment with the catcher.
