Chapter 5 - Still have to learn a life-saving skill
Just as the two were discussing, the second brother pushed the door and came in. "What's the matter, Kiki, Li Rourou said that he was looking for me urgently."
"My little sister wants to learn martial arts, but she only needs to resist a few moves and styles, and she can run away." The eldest brother looked at the second brother who was not very neatly dressed, and tidied it up himself.
"Oh! That's simple, but my eldest brother and I don't have time, my eldest brother will go to the border guard in a while, and I will go back to duty tomorrow. The second brother also sorted out his clothes.
"That's... The eldest brother and the second brother can recommend me to choose alone, and you can let him teach me. Anyway, it's not particularly difficult, and my basic skills are still there. After Lu Mengqi finished speaking, he took a horse step to show the two brothers.
"It's easy to say, but it's not easy to find someone who is free every day, let me think about it." After the eldest brother sorted out the second brother, he sat down and began to think about which person was suitable for teaching the younger sister kung fu.
"I have a candidate here, Xu Jie was dismissed from his post some time ago because he left his post without permission, and now he is resting at home, find him something to do, and have monthly money, he should agree."
"It's... Is it reliable to leave your post without permission? Lu Mengqi sounded a little worried.
"Because he stood up for the people and offended the son of Wang Yuanwailang, he was put on a sidelines, and he was dismissed from his post by taking this opportunity, and he is still very reliable. Kiki, you believe your second brother, I look at people, I will never be wrong. The second brother patted his chest and gave a guarantee.
"I've heard of this person, honest and kind, but he doesn't know how to be flexible, it's easy to offend people, this person has not been smooth since he joined the army, and he has not been promoted to an official and a half position, but his kung fu is still very high, but there is no place to show his strength." The eldest brother looked at Lu Mengqi's worried eyes and explained to his little sister.
"But I rarely interact with people, and I'm afraid I won't necessarily come." After the eldest brother finished speaking, he added.
"He has a sick old mother to take care of, and without the position of the forbidden army, it is difficult to take care of his mother anymore." The second brother thought for a moment and continued.
"But it's just to teach Kiki some fist and foot kung fu, it should come, why don't you go to his house with me today to find him and try it." The second brother pulled Lu Mengqi and was about to go out.
"Breakfast first!" The eldest brother pulled Lu Mengqi back again, "It's okay if you don't eat it, but the little sister must eat it." ”
"Eat, eat, eat, go, go, big brother and second brother, let's have breakfast first!" Lu Mengqi felt that most of her problems had been solved, and she was happy, her appetite was gone, and she was even a little sleepy.
The three of them had breakfast, and Lu Mengqi immediately pulled Li Rourou and his second brother to the direction of Xu Jie's house, because of the remote location and rugged roads, the carriage could not go, and the three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where Xu Jie lived, so they could only look for it on foot.
"Second brother, you know him, don't you know where he lives! We're looking for this family, when will we find it? "Although Lu Mengqi has good light skills and good endurance, Li Rourou is obviously physically exhausted and is about to be unable to walk.
"It's... I only know that he lives near here, I don't know which one it is, I thought there were very few people here, but I didn't expect so many villagers to live here. "The second brother is a little embarrassed.
"Meat, can you still go? Otherwise, wait for us in the carriage. Lu Mengqi looked at the whirring and panting Li Rourou, a little distressed.
"It's okay, big... Miss, I can still hold on, I... Energetic. Although Li Rourou said that he still had strength, it was obvious that he wanted to lie down on the ground and rest.
"Otherwise, let's find someone to ask, although I haven't seen a few people along the way, there should always be someone who knows Xu Jie." Lu Mengqi looked at his second brother, whose IQ was not so high.
"Kiki, you're right, we'll find someone to ask, you and Flesh are waiting here, I'll go find someone to ask." After the second brother finished speaking, he immediately rushed out, and he couldn't see the figure in the blink of an eye.
After a while, the second brother came back with a smile on his face, "I asked, in the southeast direction, the one without a fence at the door is Xu Jie's house." ”
When the three of them arrived at Xu Jie's house, it was already noon, Lu Mengqi was so hungry that her stomach growled, and when she saw the chickens in the yard, she wanted to roast and eat them immediately, but when she saw that the chickens seemed to be hungrier than herself, she gave up.
Li Rourou knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a man with a fierce face and a scar on his face, with sword eyebrows and eyes, and a look of anger written all over his face.
Xu Jie looked at the second brother, "Something?" ”
Lu Mengqi was frightened, turned his head and whispered to his second brother, "Is he a little angry?" "No, he's just angry."
"Your Excellency is Xu Jie? This is..."Li Rourou raised his hand to introduce his two masters, but was interrupted by Xu Jie.
"I know, what's the matter?" Xu Jie was still expressionless, and he didn't invite people in, but he didn't close the door to turn people away.
"My sister wants to learn some kung fu, don't worry, you have monthly money."
"How much?"
"Monthly... Monthly..."The second brother didn't understand a little, and he couldn't give an answer, so he could only give Lu Mengqi a frantic look.
"How about 30 per month?" Lu Mengqi calculated the monthly income of the people she knew, and added a little more.
"Deal."
It's that simple? I actually agreed, 30 times is enough? Lu Mengqi was a little unconvinced, and thought that the other party would ask for an increase in monthly money. "Then if you have time, you can go to the Gu Mansion tomorrow."
"Don't, eldest miss, you wait, you haven't discussed it with your uncle, and you haven't told Prime Minister Gu Cheng, just let people go over directly, it's not good." It's unreasonable. Li Rourou was a little anxious, her eldest lady really treated Gu Fu as her own family, and she had no scruples.
"Huh? Do you want to talk about this too? "Lu Mengqi doesn't understand a little, what she learns has always been decided by herself.
"I must say it, if your husband agrees, my brother-in-law agrees, and Prime Minister Gu has no opinion, so it's okay. Not at home after all. The second brother also agreed with Li Rourou's words, after all, he was not at home, so he still had to pay attention.
"Then I'll go back and ask today." Lu Mengqi was a little unhappy, and pouted, "Then I'll inform you again, I'll leave first today." Lu Mengqi said hello to Xu Jie, and left with Li Rourou and the second brother.
said goodbye to his second brother, took Li Rourou back to Gu's mansion, and the first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to go to Gu Yuanqing to discuss martial arts training.
Lu Mengqi found Gu Yuanqing in the study, and in her impression, she seemed to rarely see Gu Yuanqing outside, and most of the time was in the house.
"Martial arts? There are many guards in the house, you can bring a few more guards, and you don't need to work hard yourself. After listening to Lu Mengqi's words, Gu Yuanqing immediately vetoed her idea, after all, there are so many guards in the house, and they can't protect the safety of their own lady?
"There will always be times when they can't follow, I can't go out on the street with a group of guards."
"What danger can you have on the street, although I can't accompany you, but Chen Jing can accompany you, since I was a child, Chen Jing is responsible for my safety, he is very powerful, don't underestimate him." Gu Yuanqing said, taking the book in his hand and gently tapping Lu Mengqi's shoulder.
"Hmm... Only... It's inconvenient~ Okay, okay~ Let me learn~ Maybe after I learned, I felt that it was too hard and gave up~" Lu Mengqi looked at the hopelessness of persuading Gu Yuanqing, and began to be coquettish.
