Chapter Forty-Six: The Scholar

On the street, a group of four people is very eye-catching.

A big white fat man with footprints all over his body was dancing with his hands and talking to the young lady of the noble family with crooked hairpins; on one side walked a young man in black cloth with a heavy sword on his back, his eyes were sharp, and his body was surrounded by bloody aura; next to him was another young man who looked like a noble son, his clothes were neat and clean, and his eyebrows were gentle and calm, which made people feel good when he saw it.

These four people are completely different in appearance and demeanor, and it makes no sense for them to walk together, but the four of them have natural expressions, which makes people feel that they should have walked together like this.

Such a bizarre combination walked down the street, and of course received countless surprising and surprising attention. But they are not people who care about the eyes of others, and they are very comfortable talking and laughing along the way.

These four are naturally Lu Qiming and his party who have just left the arena.

As he was walking, Yao Chengxiang suddenly stood up and said, "My mouth is dry and tired from the fight just now......

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the other three immediately became strange--fighting? It seems that he is the only one who has not fought......

Yao Chengxiang turned a blind eye to everyone's eyes, and continued without changing his face: "...... I see there's a teahouse here, why don't we go in and have a drink, I'll please!"

Lu Qiming glanced at him with a smile, guessing his careful thoughts, but he didn't break it. After all, after this trouble, it is also true that everyone has a dry mouth.

Lu Qiming looked at the obvious eyes of the others, smiled and nodded, "It's okay." Otherwise, if we go all the way down, are we going to go straight out of the city?"

The rest of the people were stunned, and they couldn't help laughing, only then did they realize that they were walking with great momentum along the way, but in fact there was no destination at all, purely when they saw the road, and turned when they saw the mouth.

......

Although the idea of entering the teahouse was a whim, the inside of the teahouse was very neat and clean. Not only that, Lu Qiming noticed that when the four of them came in, neither the shopkeeper nor the shopkeeper showed a surprised look, and their expressions and demeanors were polite and generous.

Lu Qiming nodded secretly - the boss here is not a mediocre person.

The four of them found a table at random in the hall and sat down, blowing the cool breeze through the hall, and then drinking tea, which was very comfortable.

Lu Ziqi's eyes looked at Lu Qiming and Gu Zhiyang, and he raised his cheeks and said, "Brother, it turns out that you two have known each other for a long time! Don't tell me ......"

Yao Chengxiang nodded hurriedly on the side, he was also very curious.

Lu Qiming and Gu Zhiyang glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's the day I came back from the twilight a few days ago......" He briefly described the scene of that day in a few words.

When she heard that Gu Zhiyang was able to make three moves against Lu Qiming, Lu Ziqi not only did not despise him, but her eyes widened in shock - in her opinion, these three moves were more valuable than the previous ten consecutive victories!

Lu Ziqi looked at Gu Zhiyang a little more pleasing to the eye, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just right to know, Brother Gu, let's go to Zhongwu together when the time comes!"

Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows and jumped, but did not speak.

Lu Qiming touched his chin again and said, "If this continues, it is estimated that all of us who go to Zhongwu together can form a group." ”

"Form a group?" Gu Zhiyang looked at Lu Qiming suspiciously.

"It means that there are a lot of people. Yao Chengxiang replied casually.

Hearing his words, Lu Qiming immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Lu Ziqi couldn't help but blurt out: "Do you know my aunt?!"

Yao Chengxiang was drinking tea and immediately choked in shock.

Lu Qiming looked at him thoughtfully and said, "It turns out that you are from the Tang Dynasty......"

Yao Chengxiang's round face turned red, and he didn't know if it was choking or other reasons. He laughed dryly: "How is my 'Dasheng' accent practice? Look, I deceived all your locals......

"Don't change the topic!Recruit from the truth!" Lu Ziqi squinted at him.

Yao Chengxiang sighed and said: "As long as we are in Datang business, who dares not to know Lin Youzhi Aunt Lin and Grandma......"

Lu Qiming smiled and said, "We didn't mention her name just now. ”

Yao Chengxiang's face froze, and he had to admit with a wry smile: "I do know ......."

"That's right! I'll just say that there is no second person in this world who can invent so many strange and funny words?" Lu Ziqi nodded with satisfaction, put his arm on his shoulder and comforted: "What are you afraid of! There are thousands of people in this world who have been dumped by my aunt, what is there to be embarrassed to admit!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Yao Chengxiang waved his hand in fright, and said, "Miss Lu, we can't talk nonsense!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw his exaggerated expression.

Lu Qiming saw that Gu Zhiyang's eyes were confused, so he smiled and said, "Brother Gu, have you heard of Lin Youzhi of the Lin family?"

Gu Zhiyang shook his head honestly.

Lu Qiming glanced at him and chuckled: "Then you have to know each other." ”

Lu Ziqi on the side interjected: "Yes, yes, yes, she likes cold and cool types like you the most!"

Gu Zhiyang immediately experienced Yao Chengxiang's dilemma just now. He was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Brother Lu, you just said that there are many people who go to Zhongwu together...... Who else?"

When Yao Chengxiang heard this, he immediately cast a look of admiration - he didn't expect this kid to look stupid, but he was a good hand at changing the topic!

Lu Ziqi was really attracted to the past, and he kept asking.

Lu Qiming looked around, and then said leisurely: "I met a girl in the twilight......

"Huh?!"

......

No matter how good the tea is, it will be weak after four or five waters, not to mention the small teahouse on the side of the road.

Yao Chengxiang stood up heroically and was about to pay, but his hand touched his cuff and sat down silently. He looked at the other three pitifully, and said in a low voice: "My money has dropped ......" He rolled his eyes and said to Gu Zhiyang: "Brother Gu, you are a rich man today, or ...... Are you on?"

Gu Zhiyangyun said lightly: "I forgot to ask the arena for winning money." ”

“......”

Lu Qiming looked at the three eyes and turned to himself, and reminded: "Xiao Qi'er, the money bag is with you." ”

"That's right!" Lu Ziqi slapped his forehead and stood up with a smile.

What the three of them didn't expect was that she also turned back halfway!

Lu Ziqi said in surprise: "Brother, the money bag is gone!"

It's not unusual to just lose the money bag -- don't you see that when Yao Chengxiang said that he lost his money, everyone took it for granted? But it's not unusual for "Lu Qiming's money bag" to be lost, even if it is hung on Lu Ziqi's body, if a thief can steal it, he is very powerful!

Lu Qiming told the truth and praised: "Not bad, amazing!"

Yao Chengxiang nodded in agreement on the side, Gu Zhiyang was about to nod, but a thought crossed his heart, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition, and he said secretly: "No......

Sure enough, I saw Lu Ziqi stomp his feet, and said angrily: "I remember! It's that big-eyed thief! He looks very good-looking, but he doesn't think about it, but he's a bad heart! Not to mention stealing the money bag, he also splashed me with water!"

Lu Qiming thought back to that scene, and couldn't help but feel a little interested in his heart - the process of that thief stealing money bags was very common, but it was the first time he had seen such a simple way of stealing from him...... Lu Qiming smiled and said, "Interesting, you can get to know it." But no matter how smart you are, it's always bad to steal from people. ”

"Hmph, I'll call someone to arrest him when I go back!" Lu Ziqi opened his teeth and claws: "I want to take a good look, who dares to steal something from Miss Ben!"

As for who the "little thief" is, Gu Zhiyang has already determined nine points in his heart. Listening to Lu Qiming's brother and sister, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, but after being entangled for a long time, he still said: "Brother Lu, you don't need to ask someone to find ......"

Gu Zhiyang rarely took the initiative to speak, and at this moment, the other three immediately looked at him together. Gu Zhiyang couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "What did you say...... Most of them are my brothers-in-law. ”

The surroundings immediately fell silent.

Lu Qiming and Lu Ziqi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed - they knew that it was such a coincidence, so they said it was euphemistic......

"Hmm," Yao Chengxiang couldn't help laughing, and said seriously: "We should think about it first, since we don't have any money...... Why don't we run?"

Lu Qiming pondered for a moment and nodded.

Lu Ziqi and Gu Zhiyang looked up at him in shock.

Lu Qiming said curiously: "Look at what I do, it's not my idea." ”

At this time, Yao Chengxiang also looked at him in shock.

"......" Lu Qiming said angrily: "It's not that you don't pay it back!"

The other three were busy bowing their heads and drinking tea, which tasted good.

"Ahh

Lu Qiming motioned to the three of them to be calmer with his eyes, and looked at the shopkeeper calmly.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and made a gesture first, and said with a smile: "If Xiao Lao'er is not mistaken, this is Lu Gongzi and Gu Shaoxia gathering with friends, right?"

Lu Qiming's expression did not move, and he nodded: "Not bad." What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "My son-in-law said that he owes each of them a tea and a wine." This time, the money is not collectible. ”

Lu Qiming and Gu Zhiyang glanced at each other, and they both remembered the man in white that day - Mu Yunyi. Lu Qiming looked at the shopkeeper with a smile and said, "He sent someone to follow us?"

The shopkeeper was shocked and said, "Look at my mouth, I can't even say a word clearly...... Young Master Lu, that's the case, after that day, our son-in-law explained all the shops, which one met Young Master Lu and Gu Shaoxia first, and returned the tea and wine on his behalf. After speaking, he said proudly: "Now I look, sure enough, I am still the little old man and I have the best luck!"

Lu Qiming smiled and asked again, "What about next time?"

"Next time," the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Then you will have to bother Young Master Lu and Gu Shaoxia to pay for it themselves." We're businessmen......"

Lu Qiming nodded, got up and said, "Say hello to Mu Gongzi on my behalf." ”

The shopkeeper responded happily and respectfully watched the four of them leave.

It wasn't until the figures of the four of them completely disappeared on the corner of the street that the shopkeeper turned back, walked up to the teahouse without stopping, and said respectfully: "Childe, it's done." ”

"Uncle Mei, it's hard work. Mu Yunyi was still dressed in white, just sitting so casually, he had a noble atmosphere. Mu Yunyi made a "please" gesture, "Uncle Mei, sit." ”

Uncle Mei looked at Mu Yunyi's mother's eyebrows, his heart was both relieved and respectful, and he couldn't help sighing: "It's worthy of being a son, it's really like a god!"

Mu Yunyi shook his head and smiled: "What's this? If it was Lu Gongzi, he would be just as accurate in guessing." ”

"He's just a child, how can he compare with his son?" Uncle Mei disagreed. After a pause, he wondered again: "Such a good opportunity, why didn't Childe show up to meet the young master of the Lu family?"

Mu Yunyi said helplessly: "Uncle Mei naturally knows that these two times were met by chance. But Lu Gongzi, they definitely won't feel like this. And ......"

I don't know what interesting things I remembered, Mu Yunyi couldn't help but laugh softly.

After a while, he let out a long sigh.

"It's not time to ...... yet"

......

The Dasheng Dynasty sat south by the sea, and the southeast wind blew all year round in Guangyang City. The storehouses full of fur materials and the workshops that smelted copper and iron were also driven to the north of Guangyang City.

But those were not the northernmost ones, the northernmost was a crowded, low, gray house, with ruined cellars, broken doors and windows. There were very few voices in the alley, but it was not quiet, and the chaotic and piercing sound of striking iron kept coming from outside. The air was hot and dirty, and it was breathless.

There are few adults in the alley, and most of them are frightened-eyed children who peek through the cracks in the doors.

Gu Zhiyang didn't say much, and he was even more silent here.

He is outstanding enough in his own right, and he lives here only to take care of others and not to be incompetent himself, because he thinks he is open-minded and has nothing to be inferior to.

But Gu Zhiyang understands better in his heart that his life is not the same world as the other three at all. He has a strong sense of self-esteem, and the last thing he needs is the pity of others.

But who cares about these foreign objects among the three of Lu Qiming? Gu Zhiyang quickly realized that he was too sensitive, smiled freely, and no longer dwelled on such inconsequential things.

After a short time, Lu Qiming and the three followed Gu Zhiyang to a wooden door.

Unlike the rest of the houses, through the half-covered door, you can see a small but clean courtyard, in which the deliberately exaggerated clear voice of the teenager came, making the surrounding children laugh constantly.

Lu Qiming and Lu Ziqi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile slightly-it was really the same person!

And when Gu Zhiyang saw the expressions of the two of them, how could he not understand the reason?

Xia Wu in the courtyard was sitting with his back to the courtyard door, and when he heard the door, he shouted casually: "Brother Yang is back!" Before Gu Zhiyang could speak, he proudly grabbed a brocade bag and threw it around in the air, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, come on, come on, let's compare who has more money!"

Gu Zhiyang's face was even darker, and he said angrily: "You kid is embarrassed to say!"

Xia Wu realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around to look - this time, he was right in Lu Qiming's sight!

He was stunned for a long time, then jumped up and screamed strangely, and said with a pale face: "Isn't it, aren't you! Aren't you going to lose a money bag?

Lu Qiming innocently touched his nose and shook his eyes at Gu Zhiyang - "Your brother-in-law, you are responsible." ”

Gu Zhi raised his eyebrows and jumped, looked at Lu Qiming, who was calm and relaxed next to him, and then looked at himself - is it really so miserable?

Before the two of them could speak, Lu Ziqi in the back was not happy at first. As soon as Xia Wu's voice fell, she jumped out from behind Lu Qiming angrily, pointed at him and said loudly: "Little thief, you think beautifully! Who is my brother, how can he be looking for you?"

"Cut, don't you say who knows who your brother is?" Seeing her disdainful gaze, Xia Wu immediately exploded. He looked Lu Ziqi up and down exaggeratedly, put the money bag in front of him and sniffed it vigorously, although he didn't really smell the aroma, he still said deliberately: "I only know this money bag, but it smells tight!"

Lu Ziqi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lu Qiming.

Sure enough, this time it was Lu Qiming's turn to have a black face!

To tell the truth, although Xia Wu's move was an attempt to tease people, it was obvious that he was not good at this at all, and in addition, he was young, lower than Lu Ziqi, and looked more like a naughty boy imitating adults, which was really infuriating. But the problem is --

“...... Xia Wu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Zhiyang's face became more and more embarrassed, and he said ashamedly: "This money bag belongs to Brother Lu!"

"Lu ......" Xia Wu looked at Lu Qiming with Gu Zhiyang's gaze in confusion, and his face changed greatly: "Brother?!"

Lu Qiming nodded sincerely.

In the silence, Xia Wu's face became redder and redder, he suddenly screamed, threw the money bag towards Gu Zhiyang like a hot potato, and ran into the back room with his legs, no matter how much he shouted, he didn't come out again.

Lu Qiming and the others glanced at each other, and they couldn't cry or laugh.

......

The dozen or so children gathered in the courtyard were a little nervous when they saw the living, and they couldn't understand how funny their conversation was. Only a seven or eight-year-old girl in front of her burst out laughing and said, "Xia Xiaowu is stupid!"

Gu Zhiyang touched her head and smiled: "People are big ghosts!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue, her eyes rolled around Lu Qiming, and finally stopped at Lu Ziqi. She moved over in small steps, gently pulled Lu Ziqi's skirt, and said softly: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Lu Ziqi's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, squatted down to take her hand, and said softly, "Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Dizi!" Seeing that Lu Ziqi didn't have the horizontal eyebrows just now, Xiao Dizi's voice was much lighter, and she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Sister, are you really the daughter of the Lu family?"

Everyone is in awe.

Lu Ziqi turned his head to look at Lu Qiming, who was standing beside him with a smile, and said with a smile: "I don't know about other doctors, but there is at least one, and there is absolutely no need to give money!"

Gu Zhiyang was stunned, a little incredulous. On the contrary, the little flute immediately reacted, clapped his hands and said happily: "Can this big brother even know how to heal?

Lu Qiming smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the door on the right.

"I'm afraid that the world didn't guess that the young miracle doctor in the twilight and the peerless Tianjiao of the Lu family turned out to be the same person!" With emotion, a middle-aged man in a scholarly shirt pushed the door out and arched his hand: "Master Lu, I have admired my name for a long time." ”

Lu Qiming glanced at the red jade gourd on his waist, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Ye Zui, a scholar who led the machine, and I am fortunate to meet it." ”
