Chapter 109: Lu Wu's Arrival
Xue Yan did not stay in the pharmacy for long.
He only stayed for two days, and then returned home with Li Tong, who had come to see him at the pharmacy.
"Brother Xue, you, you, why are you injured inexplicably!" Li Tong looked regretful and sympathetic, and there was a hint of ridicule in his words.
It's like saying: Your brother Xue also has today!
Xue Yan glanced at him and got into the carriage blankly.
"Something happened."
His explanation came through the curtain.
Li Tong was stunned.
"That's what I said." He smiled sheepishly, "Don't take it to heart, I'm kidding." ”
Actually, he was really joking, and it was a way for him to show friendliness.
Because when she came yesterday, Miss San was very interested in the story he told, and asked him to tell it again when she went back.
He felt that Xue Guardian must be very boring and didn't tell the third miss anything, so the third miss liked his story more and more.
Xue Yan answered in the carriage and didn't say anything again.
Li Tong drove the carriage and drove happily towards the Li Mansion.
This time it was very fast, Xue Yan squinted for a while, and the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the mansion.
He got out of the car and saw Chunyu looking inside the door curiously, as if he was looking at something.
"Xue Guard, you're back!"
The doorman greeted him happily, and his voice startled Chunyu, who was staring intently in one direction.
She turned her head and saw that it was Xue Yan, her eyebrows bent, and her eyes suddenly brightened a lot.
"Xue Guard, you're back!"
Her voice was twice as loud as the doorman's, and her joy was palpable.
Xue Yan nodded and walked up the steps steadily, not at all like an injured person.
The doorman didn't notice it, and walked up to him with a smile, his eyes more eager than the maids in the house.
"Xue Guard, I heard that you went to Dr. Ouyang's place, but did you learn some pharmacology?" He said, bowing his head shyly, "I...... I've been feeling a little unwell lately and want to ...... I want to grab some medicine and drink ......"
"It's up to the doctor to find someone himself!" Chunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "What's the matter with Guan Xue's guard!" Isn't it possible to learn some medical skills when you go to the doctor's office? ”
"What are you going to do?" The doorman asked weakly, "Escort Xue is not sick, and he is not going there to see a doctor......
He was a little afraid of Chunyu, because he couldn't talk about her, and he didn't have as high a status as her.
"Go there......" Chunyu hurriedly stopped talking and glared at him, "Xue Guard can go wherever he wants, what does it have to do with you, don't guess, let's guard your door!" ”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xue Yan's sleeve and wanted to pull him into the house, but she didn't dare to use force because she was injured.
Xue Yan stepped into the steps and faintly saw several figures disappearing at the end of the corridor.
"There's a guest coming to the house."
Chunyu saw him looking in the direction he was looking at just now, and explained, "I'm here to thank the master, it seems to be called Lu Wu." ”
"Have you heard of the robbery of other people's ancestral houses by the master of Zixian County before? The ancestral house is this Lu Wu's. ”
Xue Yan said "oh", not caring about this matter.
The spring rain bent his eyebrows again.
"I'll tell you something." Seeing that there was no one around, she came closer, "Then Lu Wu actually came to see Madame, and when Madame and the old man talked about it, I happened to be next to the young lady." ”
"The master didn't shy away from us, he just let us remember that Lu Wu came to thank him to the outside world."
You can't let others know that this person has come to see Mrs. on purpose, and that will cause some trouble.
Xue Yanmu said "um", but still didn't react.
Nerds! Boring!
Chunyu stomped his feet, "Xue Guard, why aren't you curious at all?" Don't you want to know what he came to the house to do with his wife? ”
Seeing that she seemed to be angry, Xue Yancai asked cooperatively: "What to do?" ”
Although it was a little perfunctory, Chunyu was already very satisfied.
"Lu Wu came back from Minzhou." She whispered, "I'm going to talk about Lord Chen." ”
Minzhou?
Xue Yan paused.
……
……
In the hall, the hot tea has been poured and the light smoke is around.
Li Zhihuai sat on the top, and when he saw Lu Wu thanking him repeatedly, he wanted to kneel, and hurriedly asked Alin to support him.
"Don't be polite." He said, standing up and walking up to him, "That's just my business, the house is yours, that's why it's back to you." ”
As a guest who came to visit the Li Mansion, Lu Wu naturally wanted to say his thanks first, but it was impossible to ask the wife as soon as he came.
That's rude.
"Lord Li is so generous and upright, for the sake of the people, I admire him." He bowed, bent down and bent his knees, "No matter what, please accept my worship." ”
He pushed Arin's hand away and knelt down to bow to himself.
Because of his tall stature, he looked like a boulder, and he had a lot of strength, and he pushed Arin a few steps away with a push.
Alin glanced at him and lowered his head to stand behind Li Zhihuai.
Li Zhihuai can only be worshiped by him.
When Lu Wu got up from the ground, he returned to his chair and invited him to take a seat.
"It's really abrupt to come to the house today." Lu Wu smiled, his honest face showed a little shame, "I originally planned to come back in two days, but I received a letter yesterday that the shop in Minzhou has been doing good business recently, and the guy urged me to go back to Minzhou as soon as possible, so I ......"
"Nothing." Li Zhihuai smiled gently, "It just so happens that I have free time today, which is very coincidental." ”
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Wu is a rough man, he really doesn't know what to say in the face of such a literati, and he is afraid that what he says Lord Li will not like, so he has to smile dryly.
Li Zhihuai really smiled when he saw him like this.
"I have sent for my wife, and she will come at once." He said, raising his hand to invite him to tea.
Lu Wu grabbed the teacup and drank it down.
He usually drinks water from a bowl, and he hasn't tried to sip tea yet, but when he saw that Master Li was still drinking slowly, he became more and more timid.
"No hurry...... Don't be in a hurry, ......" He smiled innocently, and his simple appearance made people forget his angry rebuke of Peng Ao in the court.
Li Zhihuai smiled and asked the maid to pour tea for him again.
When Chen heard the news, he changed his clothes and came to the hall.
She walked in.
"Madam, this strong man is Lu Wu." Li Zhihuai raised his hand and introduced.
Chen nodded, looked at Lu Wu, and smiled at him.
Lu Wu immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground with his hands.
"Madame is willing to see the next side, and I am grateful for it."
"What's going on?" Seeing him so busy, Chen motioned for Alin to help him up.
Li Zhihuai also persuaded, "Don't be polite, I know you have something to say, now you can say it, please get up quickly." ”
Only then did Lu Wu get up.
He choked with tears in his eyes.
With such an expression on his honest face, he only felt that he had experienced all kinds of hardships and dangers.
"Is there something going on?" Chen asked, "What does it have to do with my father?" ”
Lu Wu couldn't stop nodding.
"Lord Chen is a good official!" He cried, "If it weren't for Lord Chen, I wouldn't have dared to confront that Peng Ao." ”
"What he did in Minzhou back then let the people know that the officials would think about the people, so they could find the government in case of trouble......"
"I know that several adults in the Gwangju Mansion are also like Lord Chen, so I came to Gwangju to ask for an explanation for myself."
After he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the maid and the little maid beside her, Alin.
Li Zhihuai immediately understood his intention and let the others go out first, leaving only Alin.
Seeing this, Lu Wu didn't say anything.
He stopped crying and talking, and his face gradually became solemn, and he regained the expression that he should have as a strong man.
"Now I can say it." Li Zhihuai glanced at him, "Did you really come to the Li Mansion to say good things about my father-in-law in front of my wife?" Or is there something else? ”
At first, he didn't think it was strange, but when he saw that he didn't say anything, and then he looked at the two maids, and then he knew that he wanted to talk to them alone.
A strong man with a big grin was so vigilant that he felt that it was not simple.
Chen also looked at him in surprise.
Lu Wu listened to his words, and a simple look appeared on his face again.
He smiled.
"Master Li is smart. I came here today not to talk to Mrs. Chen about it. ”
He pulled out a crumpled and tattered letter from his robe, unsigned, but from the whitened corners it was some year old.
"I'm here to deliver letters for others." He said.
