When Lu Xin arrived at his father-in-law's house, it was already past noon.

The old man Xie Zhen couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he learned that your son-in-law was coming. He didn't expect Lu Xin to dare to visit him at this time, which shows that his son-in-law really has him as an old man in his heart......

The old man hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground, ready to personally welcome Lu Xin and his party into the house, and instructed his son Xie Yu to hurry up and clean up the wine and food, and he wanted to have a drink with his son-in-law.

"Dad, do you want to keep food?" When his son heard this, he was a little reluctant. Xie Valve hated the father and son to the core, and Xie Yu naturally regarded Lu Xin as a plague god, and he hated not to know him.

"Fool, short-sighted. You are far away from him, and it is yourself who suffers! Xie Zhen glared at his son and said, "Your brother-in-law is now the deacon of the Duzhi of the Lu Valve, that is the deacon of the Duzhi, a little leakage from the cracks of his fingers can make our whole family rich!" ”“

"What do those people think of us?" Xie Yu was convinced in his heart, but he was still stubborn.

"What do they like to see? Let people say two words, and you can't do without two pieces of meat. Xie Zhen snorted disapprovingly: "Besides, the top people will not embarrass us insignificant characters, not only that, but they will also look at us differently...... Otherwise, with you, you can get double profits during the New Year? Isn't it thinking that one day in the future, if you want to reconcile with Lu Valve, there will be someone in the clan to talk to your brother-in-law? ”

"Oh, that's the case......" Xie Yu was dumbfounded when he heard it, he thought that the people who were the lord hated Lu Xin's father and son to death. I didn't expect people to be looking to the future. He asked incredulously, "Could it be that the lord of the valve is just like that...... Forget it with my nephew Lu Yun? ”

"Hehe, this is going to be divided into two ends." Xie Zhen lowered his voice and said: "If the two of them can continue to be beautiful, even the old lady can't help them, and of course the valve will not mention the previous discord again." But if they fall on their heel one day, they will definitely take revenge. ”

"Understood." Xie Yu nodded abruptly and said, "Before my brother-in-law didn't make a mistake, he was still my good brother-in-law." ”

"You're not stupid yet." Xie Zhen nodded with a smile, and saw that Lu Xin's carriage had come to the door, so he greeted him with a smile on his face under Xie Yu's support.

"My son-in-law meets my father-in-law." Lu Xin also saw Xie Zhen and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

"Virtuous son-in-law, hurry up, don't be polite." Xie Zhen also took two steps to help Lu Xin.

"Brother-in-law." Xie Yu also saluted Lu Xin affectionately, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you see my nephew?" When the eldest sister came yesterday, he didn't follow, and he should come with you today. ”

"That kid got into trouble and didn't dare to come to the door." Lu Xin said with a wry smile: "He asked me to make amends with you and my father-in-law...... Alas, it's better to wait for the calm to calm down in the future, and let him come to the door to make amends. ”

"Understand, understand." Xie Yu laughed and said, "To be honest, even if he comes now, I am terrified." ”

"Hahaha......" everyone burst out laughing.

In the midst of laughter, Xie Zhen's father and son hugged Lu Xin to the main house and sat down. After Lu Xin saluted his mother-in-law again, he was forced by his old father-in-law to sit on the top.

After the servant served tea, Lu Xin took out the gift list and presented it to Xie Zhen.

"If only you could come and see the old man, what else do you bring?" Xie Zhen gave in pretend, and accepted it with a smile. Just now, he glanced at the eight carts, and he could not tell the weight of this New Year's gift, eighty percent heavier than yesterday's.

Even for the sake of gifts, Xie Zhen's father and son had to treat Lu Xin warmly. After the two tried their best to stay, Lu Xin had no choice but to agree to stay and accompany Lao Taishan to have a drink before going back.

"That's right." Xie Zhen happily pulled Lu Xin's hand and said, "We don't see each other a few times a year, so this time I have to have a good time before I let you go back." ”“

"That little son-in-law had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." Lu Xin smiled bitterly and no longer refused.

。

On the street outside the gate of the pottery workshop where Xie Zhen's family lives, a huge black carriage without any signs is parked.

The two high-headed horses pulling the cart are both slender limbs, sturdy bodies, and their coats are oily and black, without a trace of miscellaneous hair. Among the Xie family members who came and went, there were many knowledgeable people, and they found that these were actually two of the best military horses, but they were used as pack horses to pull carts.

'I don't know who is so extravagant...... ' The Xie Men couldn't help but secretly guess who was sitting in the carriage.

But even though there was no guard outside the carriage except for a coachman wearing a hat, there was still no one who dared not open his eyes and dared to take a step closer to the carriage.

Those who can afford to use this carriage and the horses that pull it must be very expensive. It's definitely not something that ordinary gate valve children like them can afford to provoke......

The cold wind howled outside the carriage, and the north wind whipped up the snow and gravel, making the carriage crackle.

The inside of the carriage was as warm as spring, the special warm cage warmed the closed carriage, but the smoke turned into wisps along the hidden flue, and emanated from a number of small holes in the roof, and it was completely invisible outside.

Of course, the purpose of this design is not to conceal it, but to uphold the elegance and nobility of the scholars.

Inside the carriage, a soft carpet is laid next to the warm cage. There are two people sitting opposite each other on the carpet eating wine. A person wearing a purple and gold crown, ape arms and bee waist, and wolf eyebrows and eagle eyes is the most ferocious Heavenly Rank Grand Master of the Xiahou Valve, and Xiahou has been invincible for many years.

The other one was wearing a Confucian robe and a square scarf, like a white-faced scholar, who was naturally the chief thinker of the Xiahou Valve, Zhu Xiuyi, a divine military master.

At this moment, there is an indescribable depression in the carriage.

I saw Xiahou undefeated drinking the stuffy wine cup after cup, a pair of wolf eyebrows were wrinkled, and the word 'Sichuan' was twisted out between his eyebrows.

Zhu Xiuyi has exquisite skills, and naturally knows why Xiahou is undefeated - this Xiahou valve's god of war is really too bad and depressed this year.

In his life before this year, Xiahou was undefeated as his name suggests, and he had always been invincible and had never tasted defeat. Victory makes him arrogant and arrogant with sufficient capital, and makes him qualified to look down on everyone, so he can only accept victory, and absolutely cannot accept defeat.

But since the battle of Bailiuzhuang at the beginning of the year, that frustrating frustration began to linger around Xiahou's undefeated body, making him difficult to breathe, and even began to doubt himself, is it really not going to fail?

Strictly speaking, he had not been defeated in the face of the enemy. The failure of those operations is not a crime of war, nor is it his responsibility! But why didn't that damn frustration let him go?
