Chapter 159: Door-to-door consultation
Jing'er put away her thoughts and went to open the door, just in time for Lu Mang to rush in.
She hurriedly bowed her head respectfully, after all, this woman had no official status in the mansion, and she was from Chu State, so she really didn't know whether to salute or not.
"Sister Yanxin, my uncle has returned, and I am here to call you to the main hall for lunch." Lu Mang didn't have these concepts of etiquette, and he was unexpectedly familiar with the feast.
Seeing her coming over to take her hand, Yan Xin immediately stood up and staggered away from her, and said indifferently: "Then let's go." ”
Yan Xin had already walked to the door without hesitation, but Lu Mang did not move, and she couldn't help but turn her head and stare at this woman.
"This ...... Won't you change your clothes first? You just came back in the dust, and this one on you is plain clothes. Lu Mang pondered for a while, but still spoke.
"You Chu State is so exquisite?"
Before Yanxin, I had read a lot of books in Chu for the sake of Yue Renge, and I hadn't heard of any of their claims about the auspicious color of clothes.
She smiled sweetly and denied: "That's not true, I just think that girls should wear bright colors when they go home, and Ah Chen also likes bright colors, doesn't he?" ”
This woman smiled innocently, presumably her brother was also deceived by her like this, but let alone her brother, I am afraid that more men will fall into her seemingly harmless eyes.
"It's the norm to wear bright clothes in the wind and sand, and it doesn't matter what color my brother likes, and what color I wear can't change my position in the Liu family." There are no others here, so she naturally doesn't need to care about her attitude towards Lu Mang.
After a pause, she turned around and walked back to the antechamber. "Let's go, my father doesn't like people to waste time."
"Good ......"
Lu Mang lowered her head in some frustration, as if Fang Cai's words had dealt a great blow to her. But Yanxin has never been a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and she doesn't care about her feelings.
It seems that the changes in the old days have not changed my father's usual attitude, and he is still the same as before. When you do something, when you return home, you first take off your military uniform and drink half a cup of hot tea, and then sit down and chat with your brother.
Hot dishes and hot meals gradually came to the stage, Liu Yanxin stood at the door of the cloister and looked at their father and son stunned, Lu Mang stared at her in some surprise but did not speak.
She shook her palm, gathered her thoughts, and slowly stepped out, taking the lead in greeting.
"Father, Yanxin is back."
Under the eyes of everyone, she walked in front of Lu Mang, step by step firmly.
When Liu Valve saw her come out, he first took a good look, and then smiled and praised her for her efforts in the past few days.
"Yes, it is your ability to be successfully admitted to the Broken Army Mountain and worship the Broken Army Gate, and I know that my daughter of the willow lord can't be wrong."
Is it? Is it really your daughter?
Yan Xin asked him in his heart, but he knew that it was not the time, so he held back the doubts in his stomach.
She sat down beside her father and pursed her lips: "This is thanks to your face, father, everyone knows that I am the daughter of the Tianyu general, so naturally I dare not offend." ”
Liu Valve did not take credit, but still recognized her decision at that time. "This is all your own efforts, who doesn't know that Pojun Mountain recruits disciples and never looks at family status, only talent."
"By the way, father, you have all the letters I had before, and I want the drawings...... It shouldn't be difficult. ”
What she is most concerned about now is the deployment map of the Ashan Ministry, after all, she also mentioned in the letter that only through the trial can she truly become a disciple of the Broken Army.
"Although it is related to other tribes, it is not a difficult matter, and my father will help you solve it."
Liu Valve didn't shirk it, if it was in the past, he would only solve his own affairs, and sure enough, he had the identity of a disciple of Pojun Mountain, and even his family would give face.
Su Shi and Liu Yichen sat quietly on the side, watching the conversation between the two of them, if such a scene is placed in front of outsiders, it is really a grand occasion of mothers and sons filial piety and happy gatherings.
"Uncle, I cooked this soup with my own hands today, you and Sister Yanxin must taste it."
After entering the table, Lu Mang was busy like a master, and personally served the first bowl of soup for Liu Valve, Liu Valve's face remained unchanged and just nodded, as if he didn't have any excessive liking or boredom with this woman, and seemed to be used to it.
After waiting for this circle, she finally arrived in front of Liu Yanxin, and she deliberately said what she had said before, as if she meant something.
"Sister Yanxin has never tasted my craftsmanship, this is an authentic Chu cuisine, I guarantee that you still want to eat it after eating."
With that, she picked up the small bowl in front of Yan Xin and helped serve the soup with a spoon. Yan Xin was also polite, so he reached out to pick it up, and coincidentally, they put their hands against each other, and this full bowl of soup just splashed Yan Xin's neck.
"Ahh
Obviously, the banquet was splashed, and Lu Mang screamed extremely loudly as if he was injured.
Yanxin hurriedly withdrew her hand and asked Jing'er to come forward and wipe her with a handkerchief, but the hot temperature seemed to be just right and would not hurt her skin.
It stands to reason that the soup that was cooked before shouldn't have cooled so quickly.
At this time, Liu Valve also frowned, looking at the three people in a mess, but he didn't say anything to stop them.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, what should I do, it's not hot?"
Lu Mang was in a hurry, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes for Yanxin, and kept apologizing.
Liu Yichen hurriedly got up to check Lu Mang's hand, and asked anxiously, "Lu Mang, are you hot?" ”
From these details, Yan Xin realized that this woman's status in her brother's heart had become so deep-rooted.
Lu Mang shook his head and focused on Yan Xin.
"Sister Yanxin, I'll accompany you to change your clothes, and by the way, see if you are hurt, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable."
Looking at the soup stain on her chest, she would definitely not be able to sit down without changing her clothes, but she would definitely not let this woman help her change it.
She shook her head and said to her father, "No need, I'm fine, just Jing'er will accompany me back to change clothes." ”
"It's not going to work, I've got to see it."
Lu Mang grabbed Yan Xin's hand vigorously, saying that he would follow everything.
After being dragged down, Yanxin couldn't break free, and he didn't know where this woman's strength came from.
After a stalemate for a while, she raised her head in displeasure, and there was no good look on her face.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, everyone didn't speak, and Lu Mang still insisted.
Su Shi came to play a round at this time, pressed Lu Mang back to his seat, and silently calmed the emotions of the two.
"Ouch, it's a guest from afar, I'll accompany you on this little thing, you guys sit down quickly, it's not good if the food is cold."
"Yes, Lu Mang, just sit down, you don't mean to do this, my sister will definitely not take it to heart, it's so cold this day, you have to change your clothes quickly."
Liu Yichen also came out to persuade him, and Lu Mang gave up and returned to the banquet peacefully.
Only then was the banquet heart able to get out.
With Su Shi following, he turned to the side hall of his courtyard relatively silently, Jing'er went to the bedroom to get clean clothes, and Yan Xin untied the robe he was wearing behind the screen.
The material of this dress is not counted, and it is also the only item brought back from the Xia family, it is a pity to waste it like this, and the banquet heart is put aside, ready to be taken and cleaned later.
At this time, the people outside the screen were not idle, and they sat at the table and began to chatter.
"In the days when you are away, your brother has been very good to this woman, she is also capable, I don't know if I can capture a man's heart, and I am afraid that she can't be despised if she has a way."
Yan Xin sneered, it turned out that she came here in a hurry to do this.
Su Shi is not a big deal to see the excitement, if she and Liu Yichen have an estrangement, isn't it in her arms.
"Thank you Xiaoniang for reminding me, my biological daughter is missing, and I still have time to bother to observe others, and you are also very hearty."
Yan Xin didn't want to mention the previous thing, it doesn't mean that she will let go completely, since she wants to come up and talk, don't blame Yan Xin for hurting people.
Su Shi was not annoyed when she spoke like this, as if she had changed her mind and calm in the past two months.
"Since I can't leave the house without telling you anything first, that's to follow the agreement, but I've also heard the news from the outside, my daughter who ruined the reputation of the Liu family lives in torture all day long, and even if she escapes, she will only live trembling, what's the difference between this and being trapped?"
What she said was to the point, as if she was not taking sides, only speaking her heart as a failed mother.
Living in torture every day can make a person firm in his determination to take revenge, Liu Yanxin herself came over like this, and she will never allow Liu Tang'er to have a chance to turn over.
"I made a pact with you that day because I was afraid that you would secretly have something else in mind, and now it seems that you have cut off all contact with her, so this grounding is not necessary."
The banquet has other plans in the screen.
"Really?" Su Shi had a happy expression descending from the sky.
At this time, Jing'er happened to step in with clean clothes, and Yanxin repeated it in front of her, which can be regarded as a witness.
"Naturally, after all, you are also the only lady of our Liu family, if you don't leave the house, how can your father get by on face?"
"When I went out to practice once, my heart was really extraordinary." She was overjoyed, and her words were a little excited.
In fact, Yanxin said this to see if she would find a chance to contact Liu Tang'er after her grounding, if there is a Shun Teng touching melon, it will be all in one net, if not, it will be regarded as giving her some face, and there will be no loss left and right.
"I don't like this Lu Mang, and I ask Xiao Niang to help me watch her a little more, so as not to cause any chaos with the prestige of my Liu family."
Fang Cai Lu Mang insisted on changing her clothes so much, there must be some kind of plan, otherwise how could he accidentally spill the soup on her?
Su Shi nodded and replied, "That's what I mean." ”
Jing'er was waiting for Yanxin to change her clothes inside, and she winked at her.
After Yan Xin understood, he said to Su Shi outside: "I don't need Xiao Niang's help here, Xiao Niang will go back first." ”
Su Shi was only happy, and didn't think much about it, and retreated.
Then Jing'er whispered: "Young Master Ning is here......"
"What is he doing here?"
The news of Yanxin's return spread to the Pingnan Mansion so quickly? Or was she seen at the gates of the city along the way?
"It seems that it's also for Liu Tang'er's disappearance?"
Jing'er listened to the rumors and didn't dare to say it in front of the Su family.
Before, Yan Xin was still speculating whether Liu Tang'er's disappearance was related to them, but who knew that this Young Master Ning would come to the door.
"If it was really their family who did it, it would be called the wicked to sue first."
It's really a wave of unsettled, and Yan Xin rubbed his head and felt that he couldn't cope with it.
Jing'er felt sorry for the fact that her young lady had to face difficult people soon after she came back, and she also muttered, as if she was extremely bored.
"But if not, could it be that Liu Tang'er really grew wings?"
