Chapter 12: The Scapegoat
At lunchtime, Xu Hao and Yang Jiu kept talking about various martial arts, from swords, guns, swords, halberds to secret weapons, complimenting each other during the period, and neither of them used chopsticks much.
Liu Xinzhu has a good appetite, not only does he work hard, but also persuades Yang Jiu: "Big brother, you eat this." Sweet. "Directly sandwich a piece of roast duck and throw it into the old bowl. Seeing Lu Yu sitting quietly alone, he also gave him a piece of meat to show fairness: "Second brother." ”
Mrs. Xu Qin Xi saw that she was so busy, hid her face and smiled, if only her daughter could be so lively: "Dugu girl, is the food delicious?" ”
Liu Xinzhu nodded like pounding garlic: "It's delicious." Madame, you are beautiful and very good at cooking. ”
Qin Xiqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all good, but she can't cook, this is not easy to accept, she smiled and put a piece of meat in her bowl.
Only then did Liu Xinzhu notice that people had long nails and were painted with red cardamom, and he was a noble man with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water. Did she slap the horse's leg on the horse's leg? Hurry up and bow your head to pick up the rice.
Qin Xi knew that she didn't mean it, and continued: "The meals at home are prepared by the cook. If you like it, you can stay here for a long time, and many people will have more pairs of chopsticks. My Yan'er has no sisters, so you can be her sister, okay? ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Hao and Yang Jiu both looked at it. Especially Lu Yu, he almost held his breath and listened.
Although Qin Xi does not practice martial arts, he is also from a martial arts family, and he has seen Dugu Wuzhu's light skills on the field, and he will definitely not fall into the top ten. has such a ability at a young age, if he is not from a famous family, then he is a master.
The geese spend all day long, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and play with the maids, but they don't have the skills to get their hands on. Later, when I got married, I didn't have any brothers and sisters to support me. If there is such a powerful sister to take care of it, it will be somewhat reassuring.
Liu Xinzhu thought that people would know that she was here to take away the family property, so she would strike first, right? If she became a sister to his daughter, why would she have to go home and give birth in the future?
She put down her chopsticks and said very seriously: "Madam, although there are brothers all over the world, I only found two brothers yesterday and made an appointment to go to the eldest brother and the second brother's house to play." This has just been an old man, and in less than a day, she has to be a sister, and it's too fast. ”
Qin Xi understands that his daughter can't be compared with top-notch talents like Yang Jiu and Lu Yu, and there is no need to force people to look down on them: "It's good." There is no hurry. You can try the other dishes. ”
Liu Xinzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Lu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of Lu Yu out of the corner of his eye. How nervous is he?
In the evening, Xiao Ce, the master of the assassin history, wanted to come over, saying that he wanted to meet the heroes of Yizhou. Everyone felt that the opportunity was rare and happy.
It is said that the newly appointed Lord Xiao came from Jingshi, and as soon as he came, he investigated the prospective father-in-law. He married in the church on the execution ground, and then personally beheaded his father-in-law and exiled his wife's and uncle's family. Liu Xinzhu, who listened to it, was respectful and afraid, could this adult be the reincarnation of the king of Hades?
Wandering around the back garden of the villa in the afternoon, she seized the opportunity to ask Lu Yu: "Do you also want to be the son-in-law of the Xu family?" ”
Lu Yu didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.
Liu Xinzhu took the Ying sword and knocked him on the shoulder: "I see that Xu Yan likes you a lot, and he always stares at you." You just look at the fact that the back garden of Mingyue Villa is so big that even white peacocks can afford to raise it, and you can be wronged. I'll come to see you with my eldest brother in the future......" Lu Yu drew her sword directly, and she hurriedly held him down: "I was wrong!" Elder brother! Good brother, I'm no match for you. ”
The people who had been defeated under his sword were more or less wounded. She was the only one who didn't see blood under Yang Jiu's hands, so she couldn't end the game and plant it in Lu Yu's hands.
"You don't have to take my word for it. From the moment you entered the door, you looked around unabashedly, what purpose did you have for the Xu family? Lu Yu got straight to the point, and she had nowhere to hide with a pair of eyes.
Liu Xinzhu didn't ask anything but was asked rhetorically, and let go: "What purpose can I have?" I'm a little woman, no father and no mother......" She just wanted to make sure if Lu Yu would be in the same group as Xu Hao, after all, the brothers who had just married were not very good at each other. "If I really want to have some purpose, will you help me?" She looked at him pitifully.
Lu Yu knew that she was not running the rivers and lakes, and she would not come to join in the excitement for no reason: "As long as it is not a matter of harm, I am your brother-in-law, so I will naturally help you." He said it solemnly, like a promise.
Liu Xinzhu admired the principled person and hugged his fist at him: "That, thank you." She trusted him: "Actually, this Zhuangzi belongs to my family." ”
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that Mingyue Villa was founded by Xu Hao. Lu Yu immediately denied it, remembered something, and looked at her suspiciously: "Xu Hao has a married wife, Dugu Lan. You are also surnamed Dugu, what is your relationship with Dugu Lan? ”
Liu Xinzhu was surprised: "Do you know Dugu Lan? What else do you know? ”
What Lu Yu knew was that when his mother went to Xu Hao to negotiate the marriage date with him, he only saw Dugu Lan teaching her son to read and write at home, and she had to study together with the maid who sprinkled the sweep, and she was happy. Since Dugu Lan is not as violent and unreasonable as Xu Hao said, that is, Xu Hao lied, and his mother left silently. Who knows, Xu Hao actually sent someone to destroy the Lu family's family of five. Later, Xu Hao became the owner of the villa, became famous, and married Qin Haiping's sister, who is now Mrs. Xu.
What Liu Xinzhu knew was that Xu Hao provoked Peach Blossom outside, was inattentive, and was divorced by his uncle. Then Uncle Shi took his brother to travel everywhere, and finally returned to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.
Now everyone has summed up, when Lu Yu was born, Uncle Shi hadn't written a letter of resignation yet!
"Second brother, did your mother tell you who the perpetrator was?" Liu Xinzhu felt that the person who could do this kind of thing for Xu Hao must be a confidant. Lu Yu's identity is inconvenient to deal with Xu Hao, and it is always no problem to deal with other people.
Lu Yu didn't dare to forget: "Guan Tao." It was because of him that my mother met Xu Hao. "It has caused the Lu family to suffer this catastrophe.
"Okay. This person will be handed over to you, and Xu Hao will be handed over to me. Don't ask why, just clean up the portal. "Liu Xinzhu originally just wanted to get his property back, but accidentally bumped into a murder case. Since Xu Hao dared to kill people and kill his mouth, he dared to repeat his old tricks. In case Lu Yu is defeated and dies in the hands of others, no one will mourn his mother.
Before the dinner began, everyone went out to greet Lord Xiao together. There were two sedan chairs parked in front of the door, all wondering if it would be the mysterious Mrs. Xiao who was finally willing to show up, but it turned out to be a young man in white, Shangguan Han. Beauty is beauty, not a lady.
When Xiao Ce and Xu Hao met and greeted, Shangguan Han walked up to Liu Xinzhu and couldn't hide his joy: "Dugu Wuzhu." I remember you. "Seeing that the other party couldn't think of it for a while," the river outside the county seat. You saved me. ”
Of course Liu Xinzhu remembers, such a beautiful little brother, who can forget. Didn't you want to have anything to do with these upper-class children, and pretended not to remember?
Lu Yu pulled Liu Xinzhu to his side and became vigilant: "Your Excellency, please respect yourself." ”
