Liu Qi wanted to talk again, but Lu Ren had already strode into the back house, and he couldn't find anyone to talk to. Liu Qi was angry and annoyed in his heart at the moment, not only angry that Lu Ren was so unreasonable, but also angry that since he came to Lu Ren for help, he made a mistake because he didn't dare to tell the truth. Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Liu Qi had no choice but to hang his head and prepare to leave.

But at this time, Mi Zhen came out again, and beckoned Liu Qi with a smile on her face to eat and drink in the hall, of course, she had to say something beautiful. Anyway, that means that Liu Qi understands that Lu Ren and Mi Zhen want to do business in Jingzhou, so Liu Qi will take care of him here, so Lu Ren doesn't want the relationship with Liu Qi to be so stiff. In short, it's just talking about the scene.

But Liu Qi didn't have the mind at all, and after having a cup of tea with Mi Zhen, he shook his head and sighed bitterly out of the door of the business, and just walked out a few steps, when a clear girl's voice suddenly called to Liu Qi behind him:

"Prince, please stay!"

Liu Qi turned around and saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, sweet but beautiful and cute, and then looked at her short-sleeved top with half of her arms, knee-length skirt with her calves exposed, and a pair of high-heeled leather sandals with wooden solid soles that showed off her jade-like feet...... From the point of view of people at the time, this costume was very strange and bold. But the strange thing is that not only will you not feel debauched when you look at the past, but it will make people feel more delicate and pretty.

Just looking at this outfit, Liu Qi already knew that the girl in front of him must be one of the people who were very close to Lu Ren. After a little hesitation, Liu Qi arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"The little woman Lu Lan is the personal maid next to Lu Servant."

Lu Lan once borrowed Wan'er's "dream glass suit" to wear it, but Lu Ren recognized the wrong back and hugged her by mistake. Later, Lu Ren specially made a "rhombic yarn suit" for Lu Lan as Lu Lan's designated wear. The weather is hot at this time, Lan Ya is bold and bold, and after Lu Lan left Xuchang, she was either on the boat or playing in the coastal area of Yizhou, and now she lives in Linjiang Village, so she dares to wear it out generously and hang it on the street. Anyway, it's over there in Yizhou. This kind of attire is also very common.

However, as soon as Liu Qi heard that Lu Lan was Lu Ren's personal maid, the mood that was still very lost just now suddenly changed. You think, Lu Lan is Lu Ren's personal maid, and suddenly she burst out and stopped Liu Qi, then it must be that Lu Ren has something to tell Liu Qi. Maybe Liu Qi's desire to ask Lu Ren for help has taken a turn for the better?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Qi couldn't take care of it for a while, and immediately stepped forward to salute Lu Lan respectfully: "It turned out to be Miss Lu, Liu Qi is polite!" I don't know what happened to Miss Lu calling Liu Qi? ”

Liu Qi's bow didn't matter, so frightened that Lu Lan involuntarily took a step back, and people were a little confused. No matter how wild Lu Lan is, she is. Lu Lan still understands the etiquette that should be understood. Take the current situation as an example, Liu Qi is the eldest son of the ruler of Jingzhou, but Lu Lan is just a maid with no identity at all. And Liu Qi's bow to Lu Lan has actually been overdue, Lan girl didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, will she not be confused? The words that were ready to be said for a while are now stuck in their throats, and no one can open their mouths.

But fortunately, Lan Ya was clever enough and reacted quickly, and she came back to her senses immediately after being stunned for a while. Big eyes blinked twice, and Lu Lan sorted out the conversation. Xiang Liu Qi said coldly: "Eldest son, Lu Lan is just a humble maid, and it is really inappropriate for you to be like this now." ”

"Hey......"

Liu Qi realized at this time that his behavior was not very good, and he quickly turned around.

At this time, Lu Lan went up and down to dry Liu Qi for a while. Suddenly sneered: "No wonder the eldest prince will be scolded by my family, it turns out that you are so brazen and don't know how to cherish yourself!" ”

Liu Qi froze on the spot: "Miss Lu, what did you say?" ”

Lu Lan raised her hand and pointed at Liu Qi, but her mouth was not polite: "You are the eldest son of Liu Jingzhou's knees." Treat yourself to others and be courteous and virtuous; In the internal should be filial piety, diligent and tireless, so as to live up to the reputation of Liu Jingzhou I! But what about you? Why did you come to pester my sister Mi again and again? You are so frivolous and rude, and the adults of my family care about Liu Jingzhou's face. It only repelled you, and did not embarrass you. But what about you? I don't know if you have ever thought about my sister Mi in your heart, and now you see me, a maid who is still a little beautiful, so forgetful! If so, it's not hard to see that you're a misbenefactor! ”

"You ......" Liu Qi's face immediately turned red when he heard this.

Looking at Lu Lan with her hands on her waist, she snorted lightly in her nose and continued: "Sister Mi has been entangled by you for a few days, and she actually dislikes you very much in her heart, but because she is the eldest son, she is not good to reprimand in person, and she is still hiding in the room and crying angrily at this time." I really can't stand it, so I have to scold you no matter what, and relieve the sullenness in my chest for Sister Mi! Anyway, I, Lu Lan, am just an insignificant wild girl, even if I die, it's not a big deal! That's it, eldest son, do it yourself! ”

“……”

Liu Qi's face turned red when he was scolded, but it was really bad to have a seizure, who let him be at fault first? However, as the eldest prince of Jingzhou, of course there will be some attendants around him when he comes out, and as soon as these attendants saw that their master was scolded by a little maid on the street, their faces couldn't be hung up, and immediately two people blocked Liu Qi's body and designated Lu Lan to scold: "Bold! How noble is my son-in-law, how can he allow you, a lowly maid, to be so insulted? If I don't kill you, how can my son-in-law have face!? ”

With two swords of the sword out of the sheath, Lu Lan was shocked and took two steps back on the spot, and said with a disgraced face: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Qi hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?" Retire! ”

A certain attendant turned to Liu Qi and said, "Eldest prince, how can you be so insulted by a little maid?" And with the respect of the eldest prince, what can he do even if he kills her? But this maid is very good-looking...... Why don't you take her back to the house to sleep? Lu Servant Shot here to give more money and silk, and he Lu Servant Shot didn't want to turn against the eldest prince for a little maid. ”

Liu Qi was really a little angry at this time, and he couldn't speak. But who can be blamed for this? Who let him usually do a lot of things like this, so that these people under his command are used to it. It's just that Liu Qi is playing with ordinary private women, and the women from big families don't touch them, plus the girls of that year are not worth much, Liu Qi is willing to spend money afterwards, and ordinary people's mouths are stuffed with money and don't want to cause more trouble, so they have never caused any major incidents. But now the question is. This Lu Lan in front of him......

Sure enough, before the attendant's words were finished, Lu Ren's angry shout came from the gate of the business: "That's not necessarily! ”

In the angry shouting, everyone's eyes saw two flashes of white light, and the two attendants who wanted to do something to Lu Lan fell to the ground with their swords, and the person also fell to the ground, his body was still twitching, and he was almost foaming at the mouth.

Liu Qi and the others were shocked when they saw this, and Lu Ren slowly lowered his hand at the gate at this time, and walked forward with a heavy chill on his face. Leaned out in front of Lu Lan and glared angrily at Liu Qi and the others. After staring for a while, Lu Rencai closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, slowed down his face a little, and said to Lu Lan behind him: "Xiaolan, still don't you make amends to the eldest prince?" ”

"Oh...... Yes, yes! ”

After Lu Lan made amends to Liu Qi in a proper manner, Lu Ren asked Lu Lan to retreat to the courtyard first. Looking down at the two attendants who were still twitching on the ground, Lu Ren shook his head lightly and said, "As a last resort, I won't hurt people's lives, and the eldest prince, you can take the two of them back to the house and lie down for an hour or two." However, the eldest prince also forgave Lu Ren for being blunt. Although Lan Yatou is too rude, everything she says has its own truth. As the so-called loyalty is against the ear, I will take her with me, I just like her straightforward heart. Being able to point out my mistakes in person without hesitation makes me reflect on them from time to time. Just a matter of talent, please look at my Lu Ren's thin noodles, don't embarrass Lan girl. ”

"Ah......" Liu Qi got the steps, so hurry down. Immediately, he saluted Lu Ren and said, "Lu Servant has a life, how dare Qi disobey." ”

Lu Ren also returned the salute respectfully. At this time, because the two people were standing close, the wide sleeves of their clothes touched together. And Lu Ren lowered his voice at this time and said: "Only if you and I have a discord on the face, can I help you in secret, and I asked Xiaolan to come out and scold you for this." There is a book today, and if you follow it, it will keep you safe for several years. ”

Liu Qi frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that Lu Ren threw something into his sleeve. At this time, Lu Ren turned around, looked at Liu Qi coldly and snorted a few times, flicked his sleeves and turned around to enter the hospital. And this Liu Qi is not too stupid, he has already replied to Lu Ren's words just now, he sorted out his clothes with a frowning face, but secretly buttoned the things that Lu Ren just threw into his sleeve in the palm of his hand.

――――――――――――――――――――

At the end of dusk, after dinner.

Because of the hot weather, people usually go out of their homes at this time and find a clean place to sit down and chat. At this moment, there is flute music fluttering out of the Lu family business in Xiangyang City, although the melody is high, but there is a bit of loneliness in the rhyme. Or when someone passes by and hears this flute music, they can't help but stop and listen quietly, and then they will let out a soft sigh.

As the flute music ended, Lu Ren, who was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard, slowly put down his hand, raised his head and looked up at the gradually darkening sky, where people were stunned. Cai Yan handed a cup of tea to Lu Ren, and asked softly with a slight frown, "Yihao, what's wrong with you?" How could he suddenly play "Edgeworth Jianghu", which has a lonely and sad meaning in this rhyme? ”

Lu Lan had just set up the transmission shaft rod of the water turning fan at this time, and after hearing Cai Yan's question, she looked at Lu Ren's stunned expression, her small mouth first pouted, and then her expression darkened, and she sighed lightly: "Sister Wen Ji, do you still need to ask?" My lord, I'm thinking about Sister Wan'er, who has been dead for a long time. ”

Cai Yan smiled and shook his head, while Lu Ren held the tail of the flute and tapped it lightly between Lu Lan's, and said with a slightly helpless smile: "You girl...... In terms of taste rhythm and artistic conception, you are far from Wen Ji. She asked this question precisely because she heard that I wasn't thinking about Wan'er. And don't guess next time, this girl, if I really think about your sister Wan'er, I will only play the song "Back to the Sleepwalking Immortal", not this song "Imperial Sword Jianghu". ”

(Yesterday, the cheap body was occasionally infected with the cold, so I took a break for a day, so I hope I will forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
