Chapter 44: Kicked out of the house
Puzzled, he approached, "Why are you?!" Liu Ruofeng was also shocked, looked at her sister-in-law in confusion, and then at Qi Shu, she didn't understand why she appeared in her own house, could it be that she came to complain?
In the past, there have been good deeds who have been robbed by him who want to climb to the Guogong Mansion and come to the door under the pretext of exposing him, is she also here for this? But many days have passed, thinking of the previous experience of being beaten half to death by his father, Liu Ruofeng's face suddenly sank.
He knew that his father had entered the palace today, and he happened to be not at home, so he was going to sneak out to play, and now that he had bumped into her, he quickly drove people away while his father had not returned, so as not to leave trouble.
At the same time, Qi Shu was also very worried in his heart, worried that Liu Ruofeng would reveal the matter of the silver she forcibly stuffed to him that day, which would break the face of the Guogong Mansion and make her the object of hatred of the Guogong Mansion.
As everyone knows, they are afraid of each other saying it, and they are afraid of each other saying it, but no one wants to reveal this matter, if Liu Ruofeng knows what Qi Shu is thinking in his head, I am afraid that he will laugh at her for being pedantic. But, in short, neither of them thought of going anywhere.
Liu Ruofeng smiled evilly, revealing a deep dimple, and Qi Shuton's bad thoughts were seen.
"Sister-in-law, who is this?" He decided to strike first.
Xu Shi glanced at Qi Shu and then at Liu Ruofeng, is there anything to do with these two? "Xiaofeng, don't you recognize it? This is the county lord of Qingming, that is, the eldest daughter of Qi Shangshu's family, Qi Shu. ”
"That's right, sister-in-law, I have a relationship with the county lord, and I have never been able to talk, right, county lord."
Looking at Liu Ruofeng smiling, Qi Shu only felt that his scalp was numb, could they just pretend not to know each other, not to mention the relationship between them.
Qi Shuwaner: "Yes, this must be the little prince of the Guogong Mansion, Liu Ruofeng, right?" ”
Xu was a little surprised, I heard that this person was born in the boudoir and ignored foreign affairs, and he didn't expect to pay attention to it, but also, Xiaofeng is the demon king of the mixed world in Shaoliang City, who doesn't know? Who doesn't know? Thinking of the things he did, Xu himself panicked.
"Miss Shu, but Xiaofeng bullied you?"
"Nope!" Qi Shu and Liu Ruofeng said in unison.
"Really?" Xu Shi was a little unconvinced, these two children couldn't hide something on their faces, something must have happened, but it must not be a love affair, Xiaofeng is still young and I don't know what the relationship between men and women is, Qi Shu is three years older than him, it is not very suitable, but his son has a marriage match, if not, maybe you can consider this Qi Shu, he is a good child.
Xu's heart was far away, and the maid next to him also watched the two of them purse their lips and steal fun, looking like two children arguing, and their own son-in-law bullied the county lord's miss.
"Sister-in-law, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, county lord, are you here to be a guest in the mansion? My father is not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this tea party today, or not? "Otherwise, I'll send you out of the house first, I can't afford to mess with you, master, so I'd better send you away as soon as possible."
Hearing that Xiaofeng was picking up people, Qi Shu's face flashed with embarrassment, and he really didn't like him, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to see her off.
As soon as he heard this, Xu Shi came back to his senses, his face sank and said, "Xiaofeng, is this your hospitality?" Miss Shu is a guest invited by my father-in-law and me, how can you be so presumptuous? I see you've been getting more and more arrogant after a long time! ”
Seeing that her sister-in-law was angry, Liu Ruofeng couldn't do anything anymore, her head drooped down, and her momentum was also a lot shorter.
Qi Shu was a little sorry that he didn't see Liu Guogong, but he was still embarrassed to teach people at the moment, so he stood up and prepared to bow and say goodbye, maybe it would be better to leave like this.
"Miss Shu, lunch is coming soon, and Guogong is coming back, how about we go to the flower hall first?" Seeing that Qi Shu had the intention of saying goodbye, he hurriedly said.
"Sister-in-law, I'm telling the truth, who came to the door didn't come to see Daddy, and now that Daddy is not here, isn't it in vain?" Liu Ruofeng couldn't help but be anxious when he saw Xu's efforts to keep Qi Shu, and what he said was even more unscrupulous.
Although Qi Shu felt that he was quite enduring, and he did admire Lord Guogong to come over, he was still a little unbearable when he was sharply pointed out and debunked like this!
"Little Wind!" Xu is really angry, what's going on today? I have never been so rude in the past, and I want to send the girl of the Qi family away in such a hurry, I'm afraid there is something greasy in it? Could it be that he has done something excessive?
She categorically won't embarrass the two uncles and sisters-in-law, Qi Shu really can't help but want to leave.
Xu Shi looked at Qi Shu apologetically, she couldn't reprimand Xiao Feng too harshly in front of outsiders, so that people could listen to it, and if it spread, the reputation of the evil sister-in-law would not be good. But Qi Shu can't be let go, and the guild will blame him.
Xiaofeng saw that Qi Shu was leaving, and her sister-in-law couldn't make up her mind, so she felt that there was an opportunity, and when she was about to add another handful of firewood, a deep and deep voice suddenly interjected.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone looked up at the source of the sound and saw who it was.
"Father-in-law!"
"Father!"
Qi Shu was stunned, and when he saw the old man in front of him, he subconsciously curtshowed and saluted: "Lord Guogong." "He was about seven feet long, with a thin body, two ears hanging down his shoulders, a face like a crown of jade, gray hair, and a strong spirit. The official authority is a little oppressive, which makes people feel awe, and they dare not look directly at him.
Liu Wenjie and Liu Guogong glanced at Qi Shu and nodded at her. Then he said with a majestic face: "What is in vain? ”
When Liu Ruofeng saw his father appear, he immediately died down and didn't dare to blatantly push Qi Shu away, but he was afraid that Qi Shu would say nonsense, so he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Qi Shu, which was full of warnings, and in Liu Guogong's eyes, it was a clear threat.
"Father-in-law, Xiaofeng is talking nonsense." Xu didn't understand what was wrong with Qi Shu and Liu Ruofeng, so he could only play a round game.
"You two come with me, daughter-in-law, you go and prepare lunch, I don't think it's early." Liu Guogong put down this sentence and turned around and left.
Xu shook his head, patted Qi Shu's shoulder, signaled that he didn't need to be too nervous, and just go with Guogong, and then left the pavilion first, and left the rest to his father-in-law.
Let's see Liu Ruofeng and Qi Shu walking behind Liu Guogong one after the other, Guogong walked briskly and straightened his waist, Qi Shu didn't feel tired to follow, sure enough, in this Guogong Mansion, her legs and feet are not ordinary, if she is allowed to walk such a garden every day, it is estimated that she will have to practice.
After a while, Liu Guogong turned a corridor, and there were three bamboo houses with no doors and only corridors and straw curtains in front of him, all of which were transparent, and you could see the chessboards, books, desks, and some vases and calligraphy and painting decorations placed inside. It's a great place to take a break and read.
Along a row of round stone-paved paths leading to the bamboo houses, Qi Shu stepped on the stones cautiously, not daring to step on the grass that had emerged with new ideas. Liu Ruofeng stepped on it, didn't look at Qi Shu, and sat down when he entered the house, it seemed that he often came here and was familiar with the road.
Guogong also found a place to sit down, watching Qi Shu standing by the curtain, not knowing where to sit down, he could only wait for the master to speak.
"County Lord, come, sit here."
"Lord Xie Guogong." Qi Shu glanced at the position of Liu Guogong's finger, a little nervous, the position he pointed to was exactly the place under his right hand.
Liu Ruofeng pursed his lips, seemingly a little dissatisfied.
"Presumptuous!" Liu Guogong saw the disdainful look on Liu Ruofeng's face, and immediately became angry. "Do you want to force the guests away?!"
"Father, I'm not wrong!"
"Shut up!" Liu Guogong glared at Liu Ruofeng with a blow of beard. Qi Shu lowered her head next to her and didn't dare to speak, and the situation she was in now was also very embarrassing.
"County Lord, you say, what the hell is going on." Liu Guogong only heard part of it before he came, presumably there must be some reason, and he definitely couldn't ask anything from Liu Ruofeng's mouth.
Qi Shu couldn't, so he had to honestly tell the story of what happened that day, including how he was stopped by Liu Ruofeng and how he gave the money.
Liu Ruofeng had no choice but to resign himself to closing his eyes and waiting for the final punishment.
After Liu Guogong heard this, his angry head was dizzy, and he glared at Liu Ruofeng, and the other party's eyes shrank, sure enough, it was indeed the case! got up and pulled something from under the table behind him, and after Guogong turned around, Qi Shu saw clearly what it was, a handful of sturdy bamboo chips, which had been rubbed and shiny.
"Again! How many times are you going to lose someone?! "Liu Guogong can't take care of it in front of Qi Shu, it's really embarrassing! I want to educate him with bamboo chips.
"I'm robbing the rich and helping the poor!" Liu Ruofeng defended that those eunuchs didn't know how much oil and water they had fished, and it was impossible for him to really set fire to kill and rob, so what's wrong with asking for silver to give to the poor?
"Robbing the rich and helping the poor is the shameless words made by Jiang Yang's thieves, don't read the books of the righteous way, and look at those crooked and evil ways!" Since childhood, Liu Ruofeng has been reading poetry and books, but I don't know what's going on, I suddenly learned crookedly, and I don't read books anymore, I read those words and novels all day long, the food is tasteless, and even poisons the body and mind, which is really not advisable, and the children can't be taught!
"Father, you and I don't think the same, so why force it?"
"That can't harm the community! The person you robbed is the lord of Wei! Are you guilty? ”
"Then I gave up and never asked for it again!"
"You relied on the status of the Guogong Mansion to do mischief outside, and you were imprisoned several times, and your brother was tired of you many times, if the Liu family tree fell once, how could you rely on it?" Poor young boy is short-sighted, when will it become a big thing?!
Liu Ruofeng, who asked this, couldn't answer, and he knew in his heart that it was in the name of the Guogong Mansion, and those officials who were robbed by him or who shielded him were all in the name of his father and his brother, but now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, where is the opportunity for him to show his skills.
"That's better than being a nerd!" Liu Ruofeng is not used to being a civil official, and he is sour and rotten all day long, which annoys people.
"You, you, you, ......" Liu Guogong's chest was stuffy and painful, and the bamboo piece he was holding in his hand had fallen to the ground before he could whip it, and he took two steps back, Qi Shu saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help support Grandpa Guo, Liu Ruofeng saw that his father was half angry, and he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
"Grandpa Guo, don't be angry, watch your body." Qi Shu hugged him and said respectfully in a low voice.
Liu Wenjie glanced at Qi Shu, thinking about why he called her over, he couldn't help but burst into tears, if his wife was still there, he would never let Feng'er develop such a temperament, if Quanxia had knowledge, he should blame him for teaching his son no way.
Liu Guogong was angry and cried, Qi Shu couldn't imagine that Liu Guogong, who was flying above the court and spoke eloquently and powerfully, was also burdened by his children and grandchildren here, and worked hard for the country.
"If you have half of this Qi family's Shu girl, I will be satisfied." This half refers to Qi Shu's good talent, Liu Guogong sighed.
