"Ling'er!"

The sudden sound really frightened Xu Buling, and hurriedly folded the belly pocket and prepared to put it back, but it was difficult to fold it in a hurry as neatly as Mrs. Lu, seeing that the door had been pushed open, he didn't want to stuff it directly into his arms and close the cabinet door, and at the same time picked up the painting box next to him, pretending to look around at the scenery.

Mrs. Lu walked into the room with a graceful manner, put the scissors on the desk, and saw Xu Buling looking around, frowning slightly:

"What are you doing in the house after so long?"

"Uh......"

Xu Buling was a little embarrassed, and thought for a while: "There is no suitable place in the house, I am pondering and hanging there." ”

Mrs. Lu raised her eyes and swept around the room, and pointed to the most conspicuous wall in the door: "Just hang there." With that, he sat down on the couch and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xu Buling took a breath, as if there was no excuse to let Mrs. Lu out, so he could only walk to the wall, take out the portrait of the Queen Mother, and hang it on the wall.

Mrs. Lu took a sip of tea, looked at this picture scroll that countless people regarded as a treasure, and snorted softly:

"Generally, the queen mother who has lost has been hiding like a baby for so many years, and she will say a word in front of me every three or five times. In my opinion, it is no different from those scholars on the street, except that Xu Danqing is more famous. ”

After Xu Buling hung up the scroll, he took a few steps back to look at it, and nodded: "Aunt Lu is much better than this painting, then Xu Danqing is not blessed, otherwise she will seal the pen when she sees Aunt Lu." ”

"Hmph~ The prince of the dignified domain, what kind of physique ...... the flamboyant tongue?"

Mrs. Lu reprimanded softly, but her eyes were obviously happy, put down the teacup and stood up: "Let's go eat." ”

"Hmm...... I'll take a look at Xu Danqing's real handiwork, and I'll come to ...... later."

"Is it pretty?"

The tone has changed noticeably.

“…… So so. ”

Xu Buling sighed in his heart, and followed Mrs. Lu reluctantly out of the boudoir. After that, Mrs. Lu basically didn't leave an inch, eating together and chatting about the trivial things in the family.

In the meantime, there was also a maid who ran over, saying that an edict had just been made at the early court meeting, and that he wanted to evaluate the ten leaders of Zhaohong, and give the royal pen inscription gold plaque and the background of the martial arts.

The edict of the Son of Heaven should be announced to the world, and it is generally used in major decisions, Mrs. Lu thinks this matter is a bit of a joke, but she can't intervene in the affairs of the martial arts, and just asks Xu Buling's opinion.

Xu Buling still agrees with this. After all, the suppression of Wufu in the past ten years is indeed a bit excessive, and if you don't give a date to eat, the backlog of contradictions will only increase.

To be able to stand at the top of the world's martial artists and receive the 'No. 1 in the world' gold plaque inscribed by the Son of Heaven can be said to be a martial artist's lifelong pursuit. It is better to set up a target and let the people of the rivers and lakes fight around by themselves than to fight against the court everywhere with martial arts, which can be regarded as a way to maintain stability.

After breakfast, Xu Buling still didn't find a chance to go to Mrs. Lu's boudoir alone, so he had to say goodbye first.

Walking out of the courtyard and coming to no one's place, Xu Buling took out the peony belly pocket from his arms, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but have a headache - Aunt Lu will sooner or later find out that she has lost a close-fitting coat, and he can enter Mrs. Lu's boudoir as a man, either the maid stole it or he took it, if Aunt Lu wants to be crooked, she will definitely treat him as a nasty embryo, and she still has to find a chance to return it......

After pondering for a while, Xu Buling took out a purse from his arms, and the Queen Mother's 'Lotus Tibetan Carp' was stored in it. After Xu Buling folded the peony belly pocket and put it in it, he turned around and hid near the courtyard and waited for the opportunity......

------

Just after noon, Ning Qing dressed up as a Jianghu guest and walked out of the small courtyard at night, and went to Chen Siye's inn to inquire about business.

When passing by the Sun family's shop in the bluestone alley, Ning Qingye stopped to see if Xu Buling had come to buy wine.

Today's business in the liquor store is exceptionally good, and there are even many people standing outside, chattering about the news that has just arrived.

Shopkeeper Sun smiled happily, greeted the drinkers back and forth, and also said his opinion:

"From the perspective of Xiao Lao'er, these ten martial arts leaders, Situ Lao'er of Tanzhou Qianrenmen must account for one, and the baby of the Lu family in the East China Sea is also okay. Wu Laodao, do you think they are higher or lower? ”

There were guests at the three wine tables, and on the table facing the alley, there was a Taoist priest and an iron tower man. Hearing Shopkeeper Sun's inquiry, the Taoist priest shook his head:

"I haven't seen it, I don't know it."

The man in the tower next to him had a rough personality, holding a wine bowl with one foot on the stool, and said with a smile:

"Lu Baiming is known as 'his sword does not move, his intention is Baiming', but he has never been out of the mountain, no matter how high his kung fu is, he is behind closed doors, and he is definitely not the opponent of Situ's predecessors."

Shopkeeper Sun put two plates of side dishes on the wine table, and smiled: "When I was drinking with Situ Lao'er a few years ago, I asked him. ”

"Oh~?!"

As soon as the shopkeeper Sun said this, he immediately attracted the attention of all the customers inside and outside the wine store.

Ning Qingye's eyes were also a little curious.

"Shopkeeper Sun, don't brag, I know that you have seen a lot of people, but Situ seniors are notoriously temperamental, will they talk to you about this?"

"No matter how big the temper is, two bowls of wine will be suppressed."

Shopkeeper Sun laughed, hung everyone's appetite, and then said: "Situ Lao'er is playing with a knife, according to him, the knife is domineering, the sword is treacherous, and if it really fights, if he plays with his life, he wins, and if he fights, Xiao Lu wins." ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone in the wine shop immediately shook their heads and laughed, and the man in the iron tower slapped the wine table, his eyes full of appreciation: "These words are like the tone of Situ's seniors, crazy enough, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to see Situ's seniors for so many years, it's a pity." ”

"yes, yes......"

There was a commotion in the wine shop.

Ning Qingye pondered it carefully, and also felt that Situ Yue Ember was a little crazy. The people in the rivers and lakes are paying attention to the point until now, and they can't see the real ability in the non-life-and-death struggle, and Situ Yueyan doesn't look down on Lu Baiming at all.

However, Ning Qingye is a pragmatic character, Wu Kui is obviously not qualified enough, the rumors of the masters of the rivers and lakes have little effect, and after watching for a while, she left the alley alone with a sword......
