Chapter 513: Shrinking Bones and Changing Appearances
"After Lu Xiaoxian left Luoyang, he has been in Fanyang! Jian'er, you go to Youzhou City to find out if Lu Xiaoxian has left recently! After inquiring clearly, don't act rashly and come back quickly to report! Mr. Wang paused, and then instructed Chu Cheng, "Arrange for our people to assemble in Fan Yang, since Li Chongjun is still alive, he will definitely appear in Fan Yang, and we will take this opportunity to play a big game of chess!" ”
Mr. Wang breathed a deep sigh of relief, although Li Chongjun's coup ended in failure, the contest between him and Lu Xiaoxian had just begun.
……
There was a man lying on the bed, he was tightly wrapped in linen, and only two nostrils were exposed, like a large rice dumpling.
The linen cloth was opened layer by layer, getting thinner and thinner, and the tightly wrapped zongzi was finally peeled, revealing the filling inside.
This stuffing is none other than Lee Chongjun.
Li Chongjun, who was closed to each other, suddenly opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned his head: Lu Xiaoxian was holding a set of clothes and pants in his hand and looked at him quietly.
Li Chongjun said without warning: "What are you doing?" ”
"Are you going to wear it yourself, or am I going to put it on for you?" Lu Xiaoxian asked expressionlessly.
"Hmm!" Li Chongjun looked down at his naked body, "I'd better wear it myself!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian threw his clothes over.
The clothes were accurately covered on Li Chongjun's head, and he shouted angrily: "Can you be gentle?" I'm still a patient! ”
Lu Xiaoxian ignored him and turned away.
"That's it!" Li Chongjun's voice sounded behind Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian turned around and asked angrily, "Do you want to help me up?" ”
"Of course, I'm just recovering from a serious illness!" Li Chongjun said with a presence.
Standing up, Li Chongjun looked up at Lu Xiaoxian's face, frowned, and said, "Shorter?" ”
Li Chongjun's height is on par with Lu Xiaoxian, but at this moment he seems to be more than half a head shorter than Lu Xiaoxian.
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoxian said seriously, "I like the feeling of looking down at you!" ”
Li Chongjun stretched out his arm and kicked his legs, his brows furrowed even tighter: "It's a lot shorter, huh?" ”
"That's right! That's the standard five-short body! Lu Xiaoxian nodded very seriously, "Specially tailored for you!" ”
Li Chongjun touched his face and said with a wry smile: "Can you give me a mirror to see, I want to know, what did you make my face look like!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian took a bronze mirror and handed it to Li Chongjun, and when Li Chongjun saw the unfamiliar face in the mirror, his face became more and more bitter.
Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said, "I specifically told my master to make you as obscene as possible." To be honest, I am still very dissatisfied! ”
Li Chongjun glared at Lu Xiaoxian: "I'm short, five short in stature, and with an obscene face, will you have a special sense of accomplishment when I am with you every day with a handsome guy?" ”
"Regrets? I've asked you before! Lu Xiaoxian retorted confidently, "Do you know how complicated this bone reduction and disfiguration technique is? I finally begged Master and Uncle to agree, if you want to, it's a big deal to do it for you! ”
"Don't, don't!" Li Chongjun waved his hand and said, "That's good!" ”
Do it again?
Are you kidding.
Li Chongjun was cut more than a thousand times like meat on a board, and it took a month to get today's result, which can really be regarded as a thousand cuts.
Let him do it again, it is better to kill him!
"That's pretty much it!" A smile bloomed on Lu Xiaoxian's face, "You will follow me in the future, I have thought of your new name for you, and it will be called Mu Qianren!" ”
"Mu Qianren?" Li Chongjun shook his head, "It's not good at all!" ”
"Think again!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a wink.
After a little thought, Li Chongjun understood.
Each of the three characters of "Li Chongjun" is taken as "Mu Qianren", and then the homonym of the three characters of "Mu Qianren" is "Mu Qianren".
"Good!" Li Chongjun nodded, "I will be Mu Qianren in the future!" ”
……
After listening to Lao Zhaohua's speech, Lu Xiaoxian said in a deep voice: "I have written down this love of Tiansha, and I will definitely pay it back in the future!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect that Tiansha's strength was much stronger than he imagined. Not only did they kill none of the dart masters and martial arts masters who escorted Jing Hui, but they also took Jing Hui's head. Of course, the losses of Tiansha are also quite heavy.
The abbot of Fazheng clasped his hands together and said: "Lu Gongzi is polite, no matter what, you are also the previous master of Tiansha, and it is Tiansha's duty to serve you!" ”
Speaking of which, Lu Xiaoxian is really ashamed, from the time he took office as the head of the Tiansha Sect to the time he stepped down, it took no more than a quarter of an hour before and after, but he owed people such a big favor.
Lu Xiaoxian waved his hand and said: "I have done this matter of the master of the Tiansha Sect, you two brothers and sisters know it, don't tell the disciples in the sect again!" ”
Lao Zhaohua and Fa Zheng glanced at each other, nodded, and stopped talking.
……
Lu Wuji and Xu sat at the table, picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat.
"Tuk Tuk!" There was an inappropriate knock at the door.
Xu hurriedly got up and opened the door, but saw the housekeeper standing at the door. March Chinese
Xu Shi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Why is your old man here, please come in quickly!" ”
"No, Aunt Xu!" The housekeeper waved his hand, "The master wants to discuss matters in the main room, let me invite the nonsense young master!" ”
The rules left by the ancestors of the Lu family, in case of major events, the family owner convened all the children of the Lu family to discuss collectively. In the past few years, there has been basically no discussion, and the head of the family has decided it alone.
Although Lu Wuji is a concubine, he is also a child of the Lu family, and the head of the family convenes the meeting, so of course he has to participate.
After hearing this, Xu hurriedly instructed Lu Wuji: "The master's deliberations can't be delayed, hurry up, come back and eat again!" ”
Glancing at the fragrant food on the table, Lu Wuji couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
If you don't discuss it sooner or later, you just want to discuss it at this hour, and Lu, who has a rumbling stomach, has an itchy tooth, but he has no choice but to follow the housekeeper out of the door.
From the Hanging Flower Gate, he entered the second courtyard, and then passed through the inner door of the second courtyard, which was the third courtyard of the Lu family.
This is the residence of the heads of the family for generations, and it is also the core of the Lu family.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is an ancient locust tree, with strong poles and black branches, and the cracked bark has been full of vicissitudes. This is the ancestor of the Lu family, planted when the courtyard was just built, and the tree is more than 200 years old.
Under the ancient acacia, a middle-aged woman was standing.
The middle-aged woman has a pointed face, slender eyebrows, and a very beautiful appearance. Although it is well maintained, there are still shallow fishtail marks at the corners of the eyes.
In Lu Wuji's memory, the middle-aged woman was Lu Ruoliang's main wife, Liu.
With the previous education, Lu Wuji didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted his wife: "Wushu has seen Madame!" ”
Madame frowned, as if she had something on her mind, and nodded absentmindedly at Lu Wuji.
In the hall of the main room, a group of people were already seated.
Lu Ruoliang was in the center, and Lu Yuxiao and Lu Ruoliang's sons knelt in front of the desk left and right.
Lu Wuji arrived last and sat down.
The housekeeper didn't take a seat, but just stood beside the desk where Lu Wuji was seated.
The entire hall was full of men, and even the wife did not appear, and women were not allowed to participate in the Lu family's deliberations.
Lu Wuji, who was sitting at the bottom, peeked at the group of people and others, and suddenly felt a little strange: next to the head of the family, Lu Ruoliang, there was actually an empty chair.
Is there anyone else coming?
Who can sit on an equal footing with the head of the house, side by side?
Not only Lu Xiaoxian had such a question in his heart, but everyone present except Lu Ruoliang had such a question.
Could it be an old lady?
Even Old Lady Lu, who has never paid attention to the outside world in the Buddhist hall for many years, was shocked, and it seems that what is being discussed today is not trivial.
Lu Ruoliang's face was solemn, his hands were on his cheeks, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone looked at the head of the house, did not say a word, and the entire hall was silent.
In the end, it was the eldest prince Lu Wuwu who stood up and reminded Lu Ruoliang in a low voice: "Father, everyone has arrived, you see ......"
"Hmm! Together? Lu Ruoliang came to his senses, glanced at the chair beside him, shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man in a white shirt walk into the hall.
Lu Wuji looked at the white-shirted boy in surprise, and secretly wondered in his heart: Why is Lu Gongzi here too?
No wonder Lu Wushu is strange, the Lu family's deliberations are generally limited to the head of the family and his children, and outsiders are not allowed to participate. Although the head of the family is polite to Lu Xiaoxian on weekdays, it is impossible to break the rules and let him participate in the proceedings.
Not only Lu Wuxian, but the others also looked at each other, I don't know what Lu Xiaoxian meant by coming here at this moment.
I saw Lu Xiaoxian hugging his fist at Lu Ruoliang with a big grin: "Family master, I'm late, please forgive me!" ”
said "forgiveness" on his lips, but his expression was perfunctory at first glance.
Lu Ruoliang didn't care, pointed to the chair beside him, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, please sit down!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian was not polite, and the big thorn sat down next to Lu Ruoliang.
Everyone was almost shocked, it turned out that this person who was on an equal footing with the head of the family was not the old lady, but the mysterious Lu Gongzi.
Lu Ruoliang didn't explain, cleared his throat and began to speak.
The deliberations of the Lu family seem to be no different from the meetings of later generations.
Lu Ruoliang is the head of the Lu family, of course, he is the leader of the unit, and he can decide the fate of everyone in the unit.
The eldest son, Lu Wuwu, is Lu Ruoliang's deputy, as Lu Ruoliang's eldest son, he is the heir of the head of the Lu family, and many things have to be discussed with the deputy.
The second son, Lu Wuxian, is second only to Lu Wuwu in status, and he is also a son-in-law, although he does not have the right to inherit the head of the family, he is also equivalent to the head of a department in the unit, and his words also have weight.
Lu Wuya and Lu Wuji are both concubines of the Lu family, and they are considered low-level employees of the unit, and it seems that they also participated in the deliberations and embodied democracy, but in fact, their words are negligible.
Lu Yuxiao's status is transcendent, just like the leader of the unit who has taken a back seat, only enjoying treatment and not participating in daily management.
As for the housekeeper, it is equivalent to the old employees of the unit, because of the old qualifications, of course they have the right to speak.
