Section 17: The fragrance in the courtyard wafts far away

The old butler came with a bow, his back forever bent, and his expression unchanged. The www.biquge.info people of the Punishment Hall saluted, and the old butler nodded and waved to everyone. The people of the torture hall slowly retreated, and finally disappeared in the corner, returning to the shadows of the world. Lu Qikun looked at the old housekeeper calmly, with vigilance and uneasiness in his heart, but more of expectation.

"Second young master, please take care of yourself" The old housekeeper's voice seemed to have nothing to do, which could make the old housekeeper of the Lu family change color.

Lu Qikun was distracted for a moment, then showed an expression of disbelief, and watched the old housekeeper leave in surprise. The meaning of that sentence could not be more obvious, his grandfather promised to give him freedom, and he didn't even meet or ask in person.

In the next second, Lu Qi felt scared and frightened, he was just a sentence, and it was someone else who conveyed the past. Since the old man has guessed his purpose, such a person is so terrifying and terrifying, completely like an emperor who overlooks all living beings. But soon the fear and fear in my heart disappeared, and was replaced by an uncontrollable excitement.

Crossing the arch, as if passing through a world, Lu Qikun was cautious. Walk all the way to avoid the people in the front house, cross the neat and clean stone road, and walk through the exquisitely decorated courtyard. Lu Qikun didn't look around because of curiosity, didn't stop because of those exquisite flower beds, and went directly to the gate of the Lu family's mansion.

The gate of the Lu family is the most magnificent place in the new county, not how luxurious and exquisite the decoration is, but the plaque that writes the Lu mansion, which is written by Di Hao, one of the five emperors. The existence of such a plaque has made the Lu family inherit for thousands of years, and it is even more known to everyone in the world.

There is also a wide square leading to the Lu family's mansion, but the square is not very big, but the things in the square are extremely valuable. The exquisitely carved stone beasts are hideous and lifelike, and they are all made of the best Yunshan white stones. The boulders laid on the ground were polished flat and white, and the material came from the obsidian in the 100,000 mountains.

And the most eye-catching is the archway, as well as the private soldiers of the Lu family guarding the surroundings. Lu Qikun looked at the plaques one by one, and was shocked in his heart that the records in the ancient books turned out to be true and not false. The Xia Dynasty has a history of more than 900 years since the emperor opened the world, and has experienced 23 sons of heaven. When each Son of Heaven ascends the throne and holds the name and instrument, he will announce to the world that he will give the Lu family archway, in recognition of the merits of the Lu family, but also to appease the Lu family, indicating that the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the Lu family.

"My Lu family has been inherited for thousands of years, from the time of Di Hao to the present, the Lu family has made indelible contributions to the entire continent, so it will be given the archway by the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties" The beautiful voice sounded, Lu Qikun looked at it when he heard it, and a young man in blue clothes came, holding a white fan with jade hanging on his waist.

The young man came to Lu Qikun's side, not caring about the vigilance in the other party's eyes, shaking the white fan and looking at the archway with clear eyes. But Lu Qikun saw that the young man's eyes were not proud, but a deep disgust and dislike, but it was hidden very deep and difficult for people to see.

"My name is Lu Qiyun," the young man introduced himself.

Lu Qikun was still silent, slightly distancing himself from Lu Qiyun, and his heart became more and more vigilant. Lu Qiyun's self-familiarity made Lu Qikun very uncomfortable, at least he felt that the other party was not at ease. In the entire Lu family, whether it is a clansman or an outsider, they all know their existence and are exiled concubines.

Therefore, the Lu family and outsiders are very disgusted and disgusted with themselves, because they are not liked by the old man. And now Lu Qiyun does not have the slightest disgust, and takes the initiative to get closer to himself and talk about how to make Lu Qikun not vigilant.

"Don't worry, I don't have any intentions, I just want to see you" Lu Qiyun smiled to express kindness.

Lu Qikun frowned and wondered, "Why?"

"It's very simple, we have a common enemy," Lu Qiyun said calmly.

Lu Qikun was silent for a moment and then replied, "I have no enemies"

"No, you have, you know it in your heart" Lu Qiyun seemed to be able to see people's hearts, and pointed to the gate of the Lu family, the location of the plaque hanging outside.

Lu Qikun's face suddenly turned ugly, and he was extremely annoyed when he saw through his thoughts, "You think too much"

Turned around and walked through the archways one by one, stepped out of the gate of the Lu family and disappeared into the street. Lu Qiyun smiled silently and shook his white fan, looking at the archways in disgust. Lu Qikun left as if fleeing, running directionlessly. Finally left the quiet East Side and came to the noisy streets.

Lu Qikun stopped and gasped, sweating profusely and looking extremely embarrassed, looking back at the quiet street behind him. There is a huge archway erected there, which is much larger than the archway on Lujia Square, but much newer than the memorial arch in Lujia Square.

That is the people of the new county, for the Lu family to set up the archway, but also represents the archway, is the Lu family where the place is located. In the eyes of the people of Xinxian, it is a forbidden place, a place where they cannot be offended. The people who can walk into that place are all people from the Lu family and people who are valued by the Lu family.

Lu Qikun gasped and walked around at will, like a person who walked after dinner, looking around with curiosity in his heart. The streets were chatting and chatting, the doors of the shops were open and waiting for customers, and the officials came and went to reprimand the hawkers. Everything is extremely new to Lu Qikun, although he has seen it in countless ancient books, but only the real experience can understand how interesting it is.

This street was completed quickly, and Lu Qikun was confused at the three-way intersection, not knowing where to go. At this moment, my stomach "growled", and the hunger pang hit like a tide, and I remembered that I hadn't eaten since last night. Lu Qikun bought snacks casually, walked towards the street on the right, and suddenly stopped at the mouth of an alley.

A fragrance wafted from the depths of the alley, Lu Qikun's eyes suddenly brightened, greedily absorbing the fragrance wafting from the depths of the alley, and asked the fragrance to walk into the alley. This is a quiet alley, the track is rare and clean, the fragrance wafts out from the end of the courtyard, and Lu Qikun gently knocks on the door.

The courtyard door opened a crack, and an old man raised his head, looked at Lu Qikun who knocked on the door, looked displeased, and said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Old man, I came here when I smelled the incense, may I ask what it is" Lu Qikun said very politely, and his gestures showed the demeanor of the scholars.

After hearing this, the old man's expression gradually recovered, but the voice was still the same as before, and then slowly opened the courtyard door. Lu Qikun walked into the patio now, the patio was empty, three or four wooden tables were placed at random, and behind the patio was a dim inner hall. Unable to see clearly due to the light, Lu Qikun had to sit casually, while the old man entered the dim inner hall.

"The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it is destined to meet thousands of miles away" A lazy voice sounded, and in the western corner of the patio, a dirty little Taoist priest got up.
