Facing Li Xu's hateful gaze that he could kill, Fat Lu was as peaceful as if he had entered the Bada Hutong with a bag of silver, but he turned around with a smile and put Lin Tianqing out of the carriage, and asked Xiao Erlang and others to propose a gift for Nan Huairen, so he walked side by side to the church gate with Lin Tianqing, and greeted Li Xu affectionately: "Li Gongzi, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Oh, I see, I must have done something to my conscience again, right? So come here to find a priest to confess? ”

"Fart, who did something that was sorry for their conscience?" Li Xu, who had been looking at Fat Lu very unpleasantly, was furious, his eyes were red, and he was about to pull out the knife when he subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife - Li Xu really hated Fat Lu to the bone, he was originally Xiao Mazi's personal guard, just because of a few nonsense words of Fat Lu, now he has become a watchdog at the gate against the wind and snow, what good impression can Li Xu have of Fat Lu?

It's a pity that Li Xu touched the knife quickly, and Fang Shiyu shot faster, almost as soon as his hand pressed the handle of the knife, Fang Shiyu's fat hand was already pressed on his wrist, and he asked with a stupid smile: "What do you want to do to my eldest brother?" If you want to fight, I'll be with you to the end. ”

As he spoke, Fang Shiyu still shook it so hard, Li Xu only felt that his wrist was clamped by iron tongs, and even his wrist bones creaked, only tears and snot spurted out in pain, and he screamed like a pig, "Ouch mother, it hurts me to death!" ”

"What? What do you want to do? The companions next to Li Xu were shocked and angry, and they all shouted in surprise and drew their swords. Here, the Liu family brothers, Xiao Erlang and others did not hesitate, either drawing knives or holding sticks, ready to protect Fat Lu at any time. Fortunately, Fat Lu shouted in time: "What are you doing?" Stop! Shiyu, you also let go of this Li Gongzi, I'll joke with him. ”

Fang Shiyu had been told by his parents to listen to Lu Fatzi's words, and when he heard this, he naturally stopped, and the Liu brothers and Xiao Erlang also retreated cautiously. Li Xu didn't dare to make trouble here, so he had to wave his hand to his companion, and when he secretly glanced at his left wrist again, Li Xu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets - only to be pinched by Fang Shiyu for a moment, a blue and black five-finger print appeared on his wrist! At this time, Lin Tianqing also came up and asked curiously, "Master Lu, what the hell is going on?" ”

"It's okay, this Li Gongzi and I know each other, just a little joke." Fat Lu laughed and snorted, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Master Li, let's not be joking, why are you here?" Do you also believe in foreign religions? ”

Li Xu didn't bother to pay attention to Fat Lu, but seeing that Fang Shiyu was still watching and delaying beside him, Li Xu could only say angrily: "Who believes in foreign religions?" My dragon son came here to visit, and I stayed here to protect him! ”

"Long Gongzi is also there? Isn't Nasuo-sama here? Fat Lu asked as if he was very curious.

Li Xu nodded angrily, glared at Fang Shiyu viciously, and said in his heart that this fat boy is really fucking big. And Lin Tianqing was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Lord Lu, the Master Suo you are talking about, is that Lord Suo?" What official position do you hold? ”

"Lord Soetuso." Fat Lu scratched his head and said, "As for his official position, I didn't ask him specifically, but I just heard him say that he seems to be ...... by some kind of guard?" What kind of official is this guard, the subordinate official is only a shallow learner, I really don't know. ”

"Could it be that he is the second-class guard Lord Suo Etusuo, the second son of the former imperial court chief assistant Soni Suo Zhongtang?" Lin Tianqing exclaimed.

"I really don't know." Fat Lu shook his head in a decent manner, then turned to Li Xu and asked, "Master Li, the Master Suo you introduced to me last time is the Master Suo that Master Lin said?" ”

"Who else but him?" Li Xu rubbed his hands and agreed angrily, and then asked, "What are you doing here?" Xuanwumen Church is closed today, and I want to pray another day. ”

"That's a coincidence." Lu Fatzi said happily: "That annoying Li Gongzi Tongsuo and Long Gongzi, he said that the lower officials also want to visit this church, and also want to visit Nan Huairen Nan by the way, in addition to the former Yunnan Governor Lin Tianqing Lin, he is an old friend of Nan Shenfu, and he also wants to visit him and relive the old relationship." ”

"Then what do you want to do when you visit Father Minami?" Li Xu didn't bother to look at Lin Tianqing, the former governor, just stared at Lu Fatzi vigilantly and asked.

"Ask questions." Lu Fatzi said very seriously: "Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, although I don't believe in foreign religion, but I am very interested in the knowledge of foreigners, I heard that Nan Huairen Nan is a former official of Qin Tianjian and is proficient in astronomical arithmetic. ”

"Really? Do you have this interest too? Li Xu will be skeptical. A companion over there came over and said, "Brother Li, whether it's true or not, we can't let them in, let's let them go, don't disturb the master." ”

"It's good that it's that easy!" Li Xu glanced at the companion, and said in his heart that the master has mentioned the name of this fat man Lu every day for the past few days, and obviously attaches great importance to this fat man Lu, if I drive him away without asking for an order, if the master starts a fire again, I am afraid that I will not even have an envoy to guard the door for the master. Thinking about this, Li Xu tried his best to suppress his resentment against Lu Fatzi, and instructed the companion: "You go in and report, tell the master the truth about their intentions, and see what the master means." ”

"Cover." The companion agreed, and ran briskly into the church door. It was only at this moment that Lin Tianqing, who had been stunned, came back to his senses, pulled Fat Lu aside and asked in a low voice, "Lord Lu, who is the Long Gongzi you just said?" ”

"Lord Suo's distant brother, his full name is Long Dehai." Lu Fatzi replied with a loyal face: "He is not very old, but his bearing is extraordinary, and he is estimated to be a noble son from a big family." ”

"And what does he look like?" Lin Tianqing asked excitedly.

"This ......." Fat Lu scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Lord Lin, Xiaguan is a person who never says right and wrong behind his back, so the appearance of that Long Gongzi will not be described, you can see for yourself later." ”

"Is it really him?!" Lin Tianqing's heart suddenly beat faster.

At this time, a few people suddenly walked out of the door of the church, some men and women, some yellow and white, the leader was none other than Xiao Mazi, who had a conversation with Lu Fatzi in the restaurant and called himself Long Dehai, and there was also Lu Fatzi's old acquaintance Suo Etu on both sides, and another foreigner with curly hair and high nose, thinking that Lu Fatzi was going to meet Nan Huairen, in addition, there were several young men and a beautiful woman. And after carefully seeing the faces of these people, Lin Tianqing pressed his chest, almost had a heart attack on the spot, kicked his legs and hung up on the spot, but Lu Fatzi screamed like a pig, and then subconsciously ran away - because the woman was none other than Kong Sizhen, Kong Sigege, whom Lu Fatzi was most afraid of!

"Master Lu, why did you run away?" Xiao Mazi was very surprised, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, pull Lord Lu down." ”

Several young men in front of the church did as they were told, and immediately chased after Lu Fatzi and pulled him back, here Lin Tianqing was stunned, but after coming back to his senses, he also hurriedly rushed to the little pockmark and was about to kneel down, never thought that the little pockmark glared angrily, and commanded in a low voice: "Don't kneel, don't expose my identity, stand up." Lin Tianqing suddenly woke up, quickly stood up straight, and stood next to him without even daring to take a breath of air, and his heart was shocked.

At this time, Lu Fatzi had been pulled back to the door of the church by Xiao Mazi's entourage, Xiao Erlang and the Liu family brothers and others were all confused, because they didn't dare to move without seeing Lu Fatzi's order, Fang Shiyu wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Xiao Erlang and asked him in a low voice to calm down. And the little pockmark laughed loudly: "Lord Lu, what are you doing here?" Didn't you come to Father Nan for advice? Why did you just run away when you saw us, and we have where to scare you? ”

"Young Master Long, of course you didn't scare me." Fat Lu smiled bitterly, glanced at Kong Sizhen over there in horror, and said tremblingly: "I ......, I'm just afraid of Sigege." ”

"Are you afraid of four grids?" Xiao Mazi heard the amusement, turned to Kong Sizhen and asked, "Sigege, Lord Lu is afraid of you like this, have you done anything to Lord Lu?" ”

"Back to Gongzi Long, there is a little misunderstanding between the slave family and Lord Lu." Kong Sizhen was a little embarrassed and shy, and said in a low voice: "Last time in Guangxi, the slave family used to torture him, and it is estimated that the scar is still there." In addition, the slave family is still ...... and ....... ”

"You've seduced him, haven't you?" Xiao Mazi suddenly realized, turned to Lu Fatzi and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you don't need to be afraid, I and Master Suo, and the Sigege family are all world friends, with us, she won't eat you." In this way, for my sake, your previous grievances will be written off. Lord Lu, Sigege, what do you say? ”

"The slave family is fine." Kong Sizhen agreed, and then threw a wink at the fat man Lu, and said with a chuckle: "Actually, the slave family has no malice towards Lord Lu, but I don't know why Lord Lu is afraid of such a weak woman as the slave family." ”

"I'm afraid you'll take my virginity! I kept it for Shang Wanyan! Also, I'm afraid of flower willow disease! Fat Lu roared in his heart.

"Master Lu, can you do this?" Suo Etu also walked up with a smile, took Lu Fatzi's arm and said, "You are a manly husband, why are you so concerned with a woman?" Forget it, for the sake of Long Gongzi and my face, this matter will be revealed. ”

In fact, Lu Fatzi is not even afraid of ruthless characters such as Xiao Mazi, Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, how can he be afraid of a mere Kong Sizhen? The reason why Fat Lu has such a reaction is just because he dislikes Kong Sizhen, a silvery and vicious woman, from the bottom of his heart, and always feels that as long as he bumps into this woman, there will be no good thing, even if he touches her hair, his skin will be poisoned and festered. So after hearing Suo Etu say this, Fat Lu felt that his reaction was ridiculous, and hurriedly said: "What Master Suo said is extremely true, so be it from now on, so be it." ”

"Cheng, this is a lot of adults." Suo Etu laughed, and pulled Fat Lu to the little pockmark and the foreign devil, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, have you seen it, Master Long heard that you came to ask Priest Nan for teaching, and he was curious to come out to greet you in person, just to see what you want to learn from Priest Nan." There is also this Mr. Yang, that is, the priest Nan Huai Rennan you are going to visit. ”

Xiao Mazi and Nan Huairen nodded together, both looking at Fat Lu with a smile, while Lin Tianqing next to him was already stunned, and he just wanted to look up to the sky and shout, "What is this called?" This damn fat man is so fucking lucky! casually came to ask for knowledge, and it was so alarming that the saint drove out to welcome him! But after thinking about it, Lin Tianqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart: "There is a door for this matter, maybe my position as the governor of Yunnan really has the possibility of a salted fish turning over!" β€œ

"Master Lu, in fact, I also like Western learning very much, I really didn't know how good you were last time, otherwise I would have asked you directly last time." Xiao Mazi smiled and asked, "By the way, you came to visit Priest Nan today, do you plan to ask for that kind of knowledge?" Astronomy, geography, or Western screws or firearms? ”

"I am famous in the Qing Dynasty with bow and horse riding, and these strange silver skills such as screws and firearms, I don't know anything about it, and I don't have the slightest interest." Of course, Fat Lu didn't dare to show off his knowledge of firearms in front of Xiao Mazi - it was looking for his own death, and he shook his head and said: "Astronomy and geography, I don't have much interest in Xia, I just want to ask Nanda for some knowledge about arithmetic." ”

"Arithmetic? The difficulty of this study is not inferior to astronomy and geography. Hearing that Fat Lu didn't like firearms, Xiao Mazi was really overjoyed, and asked: "But there are also many subjects in arithmetic, which one do you plan to ask Master Lu for?" ”

"Binomial theorem." Fat Lu blurted out.

"Binomial theorem?" Xiao Mazi opened his mouth and asked in surprise, "What is the binomial theorem?" Is there still this theorem in arithmetic? ”

β€œoh,mygod!” Nan Huairen exclaimed in surprise and said in half-baked Chinese: "Lord Lu, you are really good at joking, the binomial theorem is a mathematical theorem just discovered by the English Newton, even in our Europe, there are not many mathematicians who can master this theorem, you still know this mathematical theorem?" ”

"Oh no, how did I forget that the binomial theorem was discovered by Newton the year before last." Lu Fatzi complained bitterly in his heart, so he could only stubbornly say: "Don't hide it from Priest Nan, in fact, this word, when I was in Guangzhou not long ago, I saw this arithmetic theorem from an English book borrowed by an English captain, and I was very interested, so I came to ask Priest Nan for advice." ”

β€œmrroh,wouldyoustillenglishοΌŸβ€ Nan Huairen asked in English in surprise.

β€œyes。” Lu Fatzi, who was born in science and was born in high school, was not bad because he was often exposed to English, so he replied in English casually: "Slightlyalittle, butnotverystrong, oftenmistookthegrammarandwww.xstxt.orgygod!" Lord Lu, I was really amazed by your erudition. Nan Huairen exclaimed again, and grabbed Lu Fatzi in surprise, and invited: "Mr. Lu, please come to my church, let's sit down and have a good exchange." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go to church together." Xiao Mazi was also dumbfounded and surprised, and hurriedly took Lu Fatzi's hand and greeted: "Everyone go into the church, Lord Lu, I am really more and more impressed by you, since I have a fate today, I must ask you for advice." ”

Everyone agreed, and Lu Fatzi took the opportunity to turn around and greet: "Erlang, Shiyu, haven't you been clamoring to see the Western church?" Come in, but don't disturb the priests in the church praying. Xiao Erlang, Fang Shiyu and the brothers of the Liu family understood it, and hurriedly followed, and the entourage brought by Xiao Mazi over there didn't dare to stop them because they didn't see Xiao Mazi and Suo Etu talking, and watched a few of Lu Fatzi's doglegs enter the church.

Thanks to the blessing of Xiao Mazi, Lu Fatzi and Xiao Mazi were walked into the church by everyone like stars holding the moon, when they passed by Kong Sizhen, Kong Sizhen smiled at Lu Fatzi, extremely charming, and Lu Fatzi quickly turned his eyes away and pretended to look at others. But at this moment, the eyes of a handsome man beside Lu Fatzi and Kong Sizhen happened to collide, and their bodies shook at the same time............

"Damn, why are this guy's eyes so uncomfortable?" Fat Lu suddenly had the urge to punch the handsome man's nose flat.

"Fuck, why are the eyes of this dead fat man so abominable?" The handsome man also frowned slightly, and he also had the desire to kick Fat Lu to death.

Seeing that Fat Lu and Xiao Mazi entered the church together, Kong Sizhen wanted to keep up, but he saw the handsome man who didn't like each other with Fat Lu - Zhou Chang, who was also the new good friend Zhou Chang lent to him by Tu Hai, stood in place and refused to move, and his face was full of displeasure, as if it was very unpleasant. Kong Sizhen smiled, raised her hand and pressed it on Zhou Chang's shoulder, leaned into Zhou Chang's ear and asked delicately, "What's wrong?" Tasted? There's no way to eat it, who calls the master to like Western knowledge, you don't know this, and you can't do it if you don't want to be compared to Lu Fatzi. ”

"Humph! Just because he deserves to let me taste it? Zhou Chang snorted with jealousy: "KitKat silver skills are just that, that is comparable to our Four Books and Five Classics of the Qing Dynasty, the doctrine of the sage?" ”

"But the master just likes this, what can you do?" Kong Sizhen laughed, and then laughed in Zhou Chang's ear: "But don't worry, I believe that you must be better than him in bed, you little pervert, white and tender little pervert, little white wolf!" Last night, the slave family was almost tossed to death by you and Tu Hai! ”

Referring to the absurd things that happened last night, Zhou Chang inevitably blushed a little, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, I am really a little unconvinced, obviously this fat man Lu is likely to have told a lie in the Fu Honglie case, because of the emperor's love for him and the rat trap, but we arrested him and interrogated him, and the lowly position is really a nest." ”

"Don't worry, take your time, let's settle this account slowly." Kong Sizhen laughed cruelly, and whispered in Zhou Chang's ear: "The most important thing for us now is to bring this Fat Lu over for the master, first solve the urgent need of the master, and then slowly calculate the account, and slowly find this Fat Man Lu to vent his anger." Got it, my brother Chang? ”

"Understood." Zhou Chang nodded, but his heart became more and more angry - his heart said that the emperor and Ao Zhongtang today are really eye-catching, and I am not reused to let me be a talented person who is only eight buckets tall and has five cars of learning, and I have to envelop this fat man Lu who is stupid at first glance from Wu Sangui's side, isn't this buying and returning pearls? Fat Lu, you remember to your master, from now on, we will be mortal enemies! One day, I will pay this shame back to you doubly!

After gritting his teeth and muttering, Zhou Chang entered the church side by side with Kong Sizhen, and said flatteringly: "Sigege, in the future, in public, you will call the word of lowly position, the name of lowly position is Zhou Chang, the word Peigong, you can just call me Zhou Peigong, it is more pleasant." ”
