Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Thirteen Princes
Seeing the suspicion in Qing Mu's eyes at this moment, Ah Zhao was so angry that he came up, "I can't help but look down on people too much!" Not to mention that there is such a group of crooked melons and cracked dates today, even if the soldiers of the entire Xiangyang City rush over together, I can also protect myself. ”
When these words fell on other people's ears, I was afraid that I only thought he was talking about it, but Qing Mu knew that Ah Zhao really had this ability!
"Open people up and let them in." Qing Mu waved his hand and said with a smile.
"This ......" The three of them looked at each other in some surprise, they didn't expect Qing Mu to have such a reaction!
Qing Mu raised his eyebrows, "What?" Could it be that you are hiding what you just said from me? ”
The three of them immediately retorted, and the next moment they got up and pushed the door open, and sure enough, they saw a bunch of soldiers standing around outside, and the situation was very urgent.
These soldiers obviously did not expect that the people inside would come out at this time, and they were obviously stunned, but they quickly changed their minds, and they rushed forward with the bayonets in their hands with hateful expressions.
Ah Zhao and the three of them stood in the front row to confront them, and everyone's expressions were very focused at this time.
Conglutination.
The scene will detonate at any moment.
"Tell your master to come out." At this critical moment, a clear voice came from inside, and I saw Qing Mu, who was dressed in men's clothes, walking out from behind everyone.
These soldiers have always seen people who are surrounded and trembling, where have they ever seen such a calm and calm command of them!
But at this time, seeing that Qing Mu was noble, when Xiangyang City was in a critical situation, there was no shortage of powerful people to visit, so as not to offend people who should not be offended, this group of soldiers still put away their spears in the end.
At this moment, the soldiers parted a stream, and men of thirty or forty years old walked out, and it was evident that these soldiers had a special respect for him.
"I don't know what to call Childe?" The man nodded to Qing Mu, and his attitude was quite respectful.
It's just that Qing Mu doesn't want to buy his account, "What can you do?" ”
Qing Mu clearly knows that for these bullying people, you can only use strong pressure, otherwise, I am afraid that the other party will gain an inch!
Sure enough, after Qing Mu's voice fell, the man did not see any anger on his face, but instead introduced himself, "The contemptible surname is Liu, and he is the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion, and I don't know where the son's family lives?" ”
"The housekeeper can call me Mu Shao, as for how my house is, the housekeeper still doesn't have to ask."
It's just a sentence, the housekeeper's mind has been half around, he thought about a lot of words in the curtain of the son's brother, at this time the bottom of his heart is more and more bottomless, he wants to ask carefully, but I'm afraid that I really provoked a big Buddha?
didn't dare to talk to each other, the scene was cold for a while, but fortunately, Qing Mu opened his mouth immediately at this time.
"I just don't know if Steward Liu brought troops to my restaurant today, why is it expensive?" Her tone did not carry any emotion, and there was a bit of sarcasm in the yin and yang weirdness, which made Steward Liu can't help but weaken his legs.
Of course he could understand what Qing Mu meant, this was a grand oath of ownership of this restaurant, thinking that Gongzi was still waiting for his reply in the house at this time, Steward Liu only felt that his head was big.
I thought that the person who bought the restaurant was just a nobody, but I didn't expect to kick the iron plate!
He glanced at the three people standing next to Qing Mu, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Although the Liu family is not a generational hairpin, rich and powerful, but with Lu You's status in the court today, he can be regarded as a famous person, so in terms of human relations, Steward Liu's heart is naturally measured, although the man in front of him did not directly indicate his identity, but it can be seen from his all-round bearing that he is not a child of an ordinary family.
Not to mention the three subordinates who are now following him closely!
With such aura and courage, Steward Liu asked himself that there was no one in the Liu Mansion who could match them, he had the honor to see the royal outing, and the battle around him was not much stronger than the prince in front of him, Steward Liu shook his head hurriedly, and threw away those ridiculous ideas in his head.
But after thinking about it for a while, it was enough to deter Steward Liu, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Mu Gongzi probably doesn't know what happened, it's like this, my young master also happened to fall in love with this shop, and he was discussing it with the owner of this shop, but he didn't want to be taken down by that little brother first."
When Steward Liu spoke, his eyes looked helplessly at Ah Zhao who was standing aside.
Where did Ah Zhao allow him to frame like this, and then thought of what Zhang Ying said that the shopkeeper was still in their hands, he immediately stopped forbearance, and stepped out and reprimanded: "What nonsense! Is it because you have to make an inch of money to maliciously lower the price first, and you dare to distort the facts!? Now that this shop is in my hands, even if you want a price, you have to come to me and me, what will happen to the shopkeeper!? ”
Don't look at Ah Zhao like a stuffy gourd on weekdays, but when things are really related to his bottom line, he will still argue with reason, so that Steward Liu doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.
Steward Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded and said with a smile: "It's probably a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding." ”
Qing Mu stood aside, taking Steward Liu's reflection in his eyes, and probably already had an idea in his heart, since Ah Zhao was his person, since he had already inherited this matter to Zhang Ying just now, he would definitely not stand idly by.
What's more, she really wanted to take this opportunity to see Lu You.
Most of the reason why the Liu family has been prosperous in recent years is because of Lu You, if there is no such strong backer, the life of the Liu family is far from being as good as it is now.
"Steward Liu, please tell me where the old shopkeeper is now?" Qing Mu's cold eyes glanced at Steward Liu, and asked in an unhurried tone, but it put a lot of pressure on Steward Liu.
"Old shopkeeper...... The old shopkeeper is now in the Liu family, discussing things with the young master in the Liu family. ”
Steward Liu was beating gongs and drums in his heart, and he didn't know why, he could easily turn around the powerful people in the capital, but he couldn't raise his aura at all to the little boy in front of him.
Where would Steward Liu know that the person in front of him was Qing Mu who was used to being a superior, and the experience of the queen of the previous generation had tempered her temperament, which was something in her bones, and would not change because of any changes in the outside world.
"Looks like we have to go to Liufu?"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded in a hurry, didn't this just fall into his arms, did the young master mean to let himself bring this group of people to him?
Steward Liu instantly relieved his heart, and the embarrassment on his face faded a lot, "Little young master, please come here, the old slave will take you to Liu Mansion as a guest." ”
Qing Mu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but keep up, but before she could take the second step, Na Ah Zhao hurriedly stopped her, he didn't understand what the reason for this sudden turn of the plot was, this Liu family obviously wanted to target them, but Qing Mu still had to keep up, wasn't this obviously asking for trouble for himself?
Qing Mu naturally understood what Ah Zhao was thinking, she chuckled and shook her head, "It's okay, speaking of which, I, Young Master Su, am still half an in-law, so it's nothing." ”
The three people behind him glanced at each other, but finally stepped aside.
These three people didn't hear the second half of Qing Mu's words in their hearts, but Steward Liu's mind had already followed a hundred times, and he naturally knew all the relatives of the Liu family, but the little boy in front of him was definitely not among them, if he said that he was unfamiliar, then I am afraid that there were only relatives.
The old man has a son and a daughter on his knees, and the eldest young master is now alone, and he has no family, so the eldest lady......
The eldest lady entered the palace a few years ago, so this in-law ......
Steward Liu gasped, the identity of this little young master is amazing, and as far as he knows, the thirteenth prince seems to be as big as him!
Steward Liu has always been by Lu You's side, so he has long forgotten about the Liu family, such as the Liu family.
He was anxious, and hurriedly found a guard to his side, "Quick, you go and invite the adults back to the house." ”
It wasn't until he saw the figure of the guard striding away that Steward Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, he still didn't dare to face Qing Mu at this time.
The group only walked a few streets to Liufu, dismissed the soldiers outside, and Steward Liu respectfully led them to see the eldest young master.
Lu You's reputation for incorruptibility was recognized in the hearts of all the people of Xia Liguo, so the entire courtyard was not very rich as Qing Mu expected, but it was enough to see the pattern of the entire mansion at a glance.
A few people in the group hadn't seen the rumored noble brother, but they first heard a coquettish smile from inside.
Yiwu Yiyi stood on the left and right and immediately frowned, protecting in front of Qing Mu and trying to block any filth for her, Ah Zhao looked at the first few people in it coldly, and snorted, "The wind is going down, the day is danzi!" ”
Ah Zhao really couldn't understand that such a well-dressed beast, what was the need for Qing Mu to visit.
Even Steward Liu, who was standing on the side, was a little embarrassed, he only waited for the people inside to be happy, and then walked in with a few of them, "Young master, these are the people who bought the restaurant." ”
There was the sound of clothes rubbing against the corners of the house, and after a long while, I heard Young Master Lu's voice from inside, "Take them to the inner room." ”
The light in the house is dim, the candles are flickering, and although there is no special smell in the room, you can also see what kind of fragrance this house has experienced before.
Young Master Lu leaned lazily on the chaise longue chair, although his clothes were neat, he could see that he was in high spirits at the moment, but it was not just a few of them who appeared, which happened to spoil the good thing for this young master.
Young Master Lu's gaze wandered around the few people in front of him, and finally fell on Steward Liu with a little dissatisfaction, "Why did you bring so many people over?" How many did he sell?"
Steward Liu was about to step forward to explain, but Qing Mu took the first step to speak, "Only sold me, they are my people." ”
Qing Mu didn't see any other emotions on his face, and he didn't shy away from looking at the person in front of him, and there was even a trace of contempt in his eyes?
This contempt is really a naked provocation for Young Master Lu, who has always been held in the palm of his hand!
"Young master......" Steward Liu has been by his young master's side for many years, so he can naturally understand what he is thinking, and he is worried that his tone is too impulsive and will offend people directly, so he hurriedly wants to persuade him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, the other end had already interrupted him.
Lu Shao's eyes have been locked tightly on Qing Mu, he sat up from the soft couch, and then surrounded Qing Mu left and right several times, holding his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes were full of scrutiny.
Steward Liu didn't know why Lu Shao's attitude suddenly became like this, but Qing Mu knew it very well.
It's not that she deliberately paid attention to the news of the Liu family, it's just that in the previous life, the Lu family's broken sleeve finally died in the small pavilion, which stunned everyone's eyes.
Although Lu You is a Confucian scholar, he has always admired force, therefore, his only son is called Lu Wu to express his love for this son, he was born as the eldest son of the Liu family genealogy, it is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up with a golden soup spoon in his mouth, but he didn't expect that under the doting of so many people, he was used to a bad problem.
And at this time, it was too late to lure Lu Wu back to the right path.
Lu Wu not only lived up to his father's expectations, his martial arts were mediocre, even his literary talent was a terrible mess, and he didn't know where this person came from, Shelley's good manhood, and even became the only one Xia Liguo who was proud of and talked about it in public, as far as this courage was concerned, Qing Mu admired him.
Although Lu Wu is only fourteen now, it is when he was a bohemian teenager, he inherited all the advantages of his father, and his face has not yet opened his handsome dust, but judging from what he saw just now, Lu Wu at this time has not realized his interest in men, but at this moment, his coveted gaze on himself really made Qing Mu's goosebumps rise an arm.
Lu Wuzheng is good-looking, but it is not the Yang of the Eighth Prince, but the ultimate feminine beauty, which is really eye-catching in the eyes.
"Lu Shao, I heard that you invited Boss Zhang here, I wonder if I can meet him?" Qing Mu tried his best to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and then asked Lu Wu.
Lu Wu retracted his gaze, turned around and returned to the soft couch again, and after a long time, he nodded slowly, "Of course." ”
Steward Liu was a little surprised, this was obviously far from the image of Lu Wu he knew, and sure enough, his eyebrows had just been raised, and Lu Wu had already added leisurely: "It's just, why should I agree?" ”
There was a playful glint in his eyes.
If Qing Mu wasn't still standing here at this moment, Ah Zhao would probably have to raise a knife and teach this kid a lesson, which is really shameless!
Qing Mu was naturally disgusted, but now that Boss Zhang was in his hands, he was a little soft and had to be low, "What do you have for Young Master Lu?" ”
Lu Wu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he did not shy away from turning his gaze to Qing Mu in front of him, "I will return the person to you, and you will stay." As he spoke, he leaned forward, almost close to Qing Mu, and the flirtation was extremely ambiguous.
Qing Mu's hands clenched on both sides, "What if I don't want to?" ”
Lu Wu chuckled, and in the next second, his face changed again and he gritted his teeth and looked at Qing Mu, "This is not up to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yiwu also approached Qing Mu's side, and when Qing Mu didn't know how to react, they whispered: "Young master, a group of people came outside, all of them are masters." ”
Qing Mu's heartbeat was a little faster, and her reaction was naturally no better than that of these people who practiced martial arts all year round, she pursed her lips, "Can you win?" ”
The two looked at each other, and finally nodded, "I don't know for sure, but I will do my best to escort you out." ”
Qing Mu looked at Ah Zhao to the side, and saw that his expression was really not good-looking.
Lu Wu saw the reactions of several people, and after waiting for a long time, he nodded without hurry, "How about it, are you willing to stay now?" ”
Qing Mu did not answer.
It's just that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin!
Just as Lu Wu was about to give an order, Steward Liu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear, and took out all the words that Qing Mu had just said.
"In-laws?"
Lu Wu tasted the word product again, and he sneered for a while, "Steward Liu has been smart for a lifetime, but he didn't arrive first, and you were deceived by these two people, Thirteen Princes?" That's a person who lives in the palace, how can he come in and out casually, not to mention, I don't know the name of the thirteen princes? Where have you ever brought the word Mu! ”
When Lu Wu said this, his eyes stared at Qing Mu for a moment, probably wanting to see her flustered.
Qing Mu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Steward Liu to think that he was the thirteenth prince?
"Young Master Lu seems to have misunderstood? How could I ever say that I was the Thirteenth Prince? ”
In Lu Wu's opinion, Qing Mu's words were a bit miserable, and he was about to take people down, but he didn't expect that Qing Mu to open his mouth again, "It's just that I do have a sister in the palace, counting it, we do have a relationship by marriage?"
With the relationship of the Liu family, it is reasonable for her to call Liu Jiao a sister.
She still has a little impression of Liu Jiao, who has a completely different temperament from Liu's, and is a really neat talented woman, but in the end she died tragically in the palace.
Lu Wu could see that when Qing Mu said these words, his expression was not more than half relaxed, either he was too fearless or he had the bottom in his heart, but judging from his words and deeds at the moment, I am afraid that his origin is not simple.
Lu Wu understood that he should treat them well.
Just let people with such appetites just let go?
He shook his head, since the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, then he offended him without knowing it, and he couldn't say anything about him after all, thinking of this, he hurriedly greeted the person standing on the side, "Didn't you see that this son has agreed to stay?" Let's ask a few people around you to tell the elders in your family. ”
Lu Wu said, pointing to the three people behind her, and after the words fell, he hurriedly looked at Qing Mu again.
Qing Mu stood there calmly, until someone on the side greeted her, she sneered: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to stay, I have heard the prestige of Lord Lu for a long time, and I am lucky to be lucky to meet him today." ”
Lu You nodded and chuckled.
