Chapter 45: Stay

Chaoxia's internal injuries were not very serious, but because she didn't have the luck to heal her injuries at that time, she was in a hurry to leave there so that she vomited blood and fainted. Therefore, after recuperating in the Lu family for more than ten days, Chaoxia was already able to get out of bed and walk around. As long as you don't use internal force, you will be like a normal person.

Therefore, Lu Hong and Song Yuan both remembered Chaoxia's 'going to stay problem' in their hearts. However, both of them are men, and it is not good to ask Chaoxia directly, so they are ready to let Lu Erniang and Lu Xianger find a way. Unexpectedly, at this time, news came from Jiangling Mansion that Craftsman Yuan had finished the still, and asked Lu Xiang'er to take a look.

"Erniang, Xiang'er, this time is really a coincidence. Otherwise, Xiang'er will wait another day, and I will accompany her to Gangneung Mansion tomorrow. Song Yuan had just promised Ye Feng to accompany him to the next county to celebrate his father's birthday, but he didn't expect that Lu Xiang'er would decide to go to Jiangling Mansion on the same day.

Song Yuan's care for the Lu family, Lu Erniang knew in her heart where to blame him. Seeing Song Yuan say this, Lu Erniang hurriedly said, "Mr. Song, we have troubled you enough. It's okay to ask Brother Hong to take a day off tomorrow and accompany Xiang'er to Jiangling Mansion. ”

Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting next to Lu Erniang, shook her head and said, "Auntie, my brother wants to prepare for the exam in Luming Academy, so I'd better go by myself." With Xiao Wu, plus going early and returning early, there should be nothing to do. ”

"How can that be?" Lu Erniang and Song Yuan spoke at the same time, and the two immediately glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to the side. Lu Erniang reacted faster, quickly turned her head to look at Lu Xiang'er, and said angrily: "You have a daughter's family, how can you go out alone at such a young age." Either or not, I'm ......."

"Otherwise, I'll accompany Sister Xiang'er." As the voice fell, Asaka walked in through the door.

Maybe it's because of this period of recuperation, or maybe it's because the Lu family's food is better, Chaoxia's face is much more ruddy. Although her expression was still the same as before, she was more popular, and the coldness in her eyes dissipated a lot. This made Lu Erniang believe in her judgment even more, Chaoxia is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Moreover, if it weren't for Chaoxia's sudden appearance, Lu Erniang almost forgot that there was a young lady with strong martial arts at home.

At first, Lu Erniang didn't quite believe Song Yuan's words, saying that this Chaoxia was a 'ranger' with high martial arts. But the day before yesterday, Chaoxia inadvertently showed her hand to Lu Erniang, and Lu Erniang believed that Chaoxia had martial arts, and it seemed that she was still very harmful.

Song Yuan didn't believe Chaoxia a little, because he didn't know Chaoxia's identity yet, so he didn't dare to let Lu Xiang'er go to Jiangling Mansion alone with her. Thinking of this, Song Yuan opened his mouth to say something of refusal, but Lu Xiang'er took the first step and said, "Okay, okay, with Sister Chaoxia accompanying me, you can all rest assured." ”

Lu Erniang didn't wait for Song Yuan to open her mouth again, so she nodded and said, "That's good, with Chaoxia by my side, I can also put my mind at ease." ”

When Lu Hong came back from the academy, everything had already been decided, even if he wanted to, he had no chance. After thinking about it, Lu Hong took advantage of the conversation with Lu Xianger after dinner and told her a lot of things. Lu Xianger was funny at the same time, but she was very moved. Chaoxia, who secretly heard the conversation between the brother and sister, was a little envious.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia had breakfast, and then left Qingshi County in Xiaowujia's carriage and went to Jiangling Mansion. Along the way, he didn't do anything, and he arrived at Yuan's house very smoothly. After seeing the retort made by Craftsman Yuan, Lu Xiang'er was very satisfied, and her mouth couldn't close when she smiled.

"Little lady Lu, since you are satisfied, it will be good." Craftsman Yuan was also very satisfied with his craftsmanship, and he stroked his beard and followed Lu Xiang'er to look left and right. After a while, Yuan Craftsman suddenly felt that there was an interface that he was not very satisfied with, so he said again: "Little lady Lu, why don't you walk around, and in more than an hour, you can take it all back after it is completed." ”

"Then thank you for the old craftsman's trouble." Last time she came to Jiangling Mansion, Lu Xiang'er didn't have a good look, but this time she really wanted to see Jiangling Mansion. For Yuan's suggestion, Lu Xianger gladly accepted, leaving Xiao Wu to help, and she went out of the courtyard with Chaoxia.

And when Lu Xiang'er proposed to go to a restaurant or tavern, Chaoxia stared at her for a long time. Although Chaoxia didn't say anything, the surprise in her eyes made Lu Xiang'er immediately stunned, and hurriedly explained: "I just went to see the price of wine here, and the taste of wine." ”

"You want to make wine and open a winery, just like your parents?" Chaoxia recalled that the son of Yuan Craftsman seemed to have mentioned that the still was used to make wine, and looked at this little lady who was not yet ten years old with some differences.

Lu Xiang'er was even more surprised, and said strangely: "Sister Chaoxia, how do you know that my 'parents' are the ones who run the winery?" ”

"Well, I heard Zao'er talk about it when she was chatting with Xiao Tao." Chaoxia turned her head away, and her tone was light, but it made Lu Xiang'er hear a trace of weakness.

Lu Xiang'er didn't ask, just nodded, didn't say anything, and walked ahead on her own. In Lu Xiang'er's heart, she was finally sure that Chaoxia must know herself. Because Zao'er and Xiao Tao didn't know that Lu Xiang'er was not Lu Erniang's biological daughter, nor did they know what Lu Xiang'er's parents did before.

Although Lu Xiang'er didn't understand why Chaoxia never revealed her acquaintance with her, she didn't debunk her. Because Lu Xiang'er could feel that Chaoxia had no malice towards her and her family. Moreover, Lu Xianger also felt that Chaoxia was very protective of her. For example:

"Sister Chaoxia, there seem to be a lot of people in that tavern, let's go buy some wine and bring it back." Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia had already carried a few wine bottles in their hands, which were very inconsistent with the appearance of the two.

As for the tavern that Lu Xiang'er said, it is really a tavern, and many of the people are ordinary people. Ordinary people can sit in the tavern and drink, that is, everyone has it, what kind of three religions and nine streams and so on. Therefore, seeing two young and beautiful young ladies still holding wine bottles in their hands, the banter in the tavern suddenly rang out.

"Where did the two little ladies come from, they still came to buy wine, why don't you sit down and drink together."

"That's right, the two little ladies are so beautiful, my drinking brother is invited."

"Let's come and sit here with my brother, and my brother will invite you to drink."

It may be that she has been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and Lu Xiang'er, who is already used to this kind of scene, is actually a little shy and doesn't want to enter that tavern again. Seeing this, Chaoxia maintained her previous indifferent expression, slowly entered the tavern, paid the money, took the wine bottle and turned to leave.

When Chaoxia walked to Lu Xiang'er and was about to go with her, the four drunken people sitting in the tavern immediately surrounded her. Seeing that Chaoxia was cold, these people seemed to be Lu Xiang'er's maid, and Lu Xiang'er also looked very easy to bully, and they all used some foul language against her.

Before waiting for Lu Xiang'er to do anything, Chaoxia beside her walked to the table on the side in a few steps, grabbed a handful of chopsticks and threw them at the people one by one. Lu Xiang'er opened her mouth slightly, and finally saw what a martial artist was. Those burly and tall men were actually hit by those chopsticks and fell to the ground and screamed.

When the people inside and outside the tavern saw this scene, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and looked at Chaoxia with a frightened gaze. To put it bluntly, this kind of scene is really rare for ordinary people. The most they can see is a group fight of a few people without rules.

"Xiang'er, what are you looking at, don't you leave?" As if nothing had happened, Chaoxia walked to Lu Xiang'er's side and glanced at her lightly.

Lu Xiang'er only reacted at this time, nodded a little stunned, and subconsciously turned around and left. Chaoxia followed behind Lu Xiang'er, but before leaving, she glanced back at the few people lying on the ground. The few people who originally wanted to get up to retaliate didn't dare to move in that faint look.

After returning to Qingshi County, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong knew about this matter, and they were afraid for a while. Lu Erniang was very glad to let Chaoxia follow today, but Lu Hong let go of some of his wariness of Chaoxia. Lu Xiang'er also took this opportunity to express her idea of wanting Chaoxia to stay.

"Xiang'er, if you want Chaoxia to stay, you have to ask what people mean. Perhaps, Chaoxia has other things to do, or go back to her own home. When Lu Hong heard Lu Xiang'er's thoughts, the vigilance in his heart rose again. Thinking about it again, Chaoxia may have deliberately protected Lu Xiang'er today for a purpose, and Lu Hong didn't want Chaoxia to stay.

Lu Erniang felt that there was such a person by Lu Xiang'er's side, and she was very relieved. In the future, Lu Xiang'er may have to travel frequently between Qingshi County and Jiangling Mansion, and there is a little lady who knows martial arts by her side, which is really reassuring and safe. But what Lu Hong said is also right, we have to see what Chaoxia means.

After thinking about it, Lu Erniang said to Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, A-Niang also wants Chaoxia to stay." But what your brother said is right, you really have to ask what Chaoxia means. ”

"I already asked Sister Asaka on the way back, and she agreed to stay." Lu Xiang'er thought about Chaoxia's eyes when she talked about her life experience, and believed that most of what she said was true. For example, Chaoxia was an orphan who was adopted by a ranger, taught martial arts, and traveled all over the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for what Chaoxia said about being chased and killed by the enemy, and her father-in-law was killed by the enemy, she finally got rid of the enemy and wanted to live some ordinary life. This reason made Lu Xianger a little skeptical. However, Lu Xiang'er didn't care much about these either. With a personal bodyguard master, or a woman, Lu Xianger doesn't know how happy she is.

"I see. I didn't expect Chaoxia's life experience to be so pitiful. Lu Erniang shook her head, sighing in her heart, no wonder Chaoxia's temperament is so cold, it turned out to be her experience. Poor Chaoxia's experience, Lu Erniang agreed to Lu Xiang'er's request. Seeing this, Lu Hong had no choice but to keep his full stomach in his stomach.
