Chapter 023: White Tiger Diagram
Guest room.
Lu Qing was looking at the furnishings in the room with interest.
Because it is completely different from the development of the earth, the art of this world is different from the earth.
The most significant difference is, of course, the elements of martial arts in the various furnishings.
For example, this picture of a white tiger hanging on the wall of the guest room -
In the picture, a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes is poking its head out of the mountain forest, and the rest of its body is hidden in the forest.
However, just this tiger head, Lu Qing only glanced at it twice, and felt that the white tiger in the painting seemed to pounce out of the painting and devour him.
"How can the momentum of this painting be so amazing?"
At first, Lu Qing thought it was his own illusion, but when he looked away and found that it was still the case, he immediately realized that this painting seemed to contain the mystery of martial arts, and with his current strength, he couldn't look directly at it for a long time.
But
With an immortal body, Lu Qing is not the kind of person who retreats despite difficulties.
So, the more he felt the amazing momentum of this painting, the more Lu Qing forced himself to look at the white tiger in the painting.
At the beginning, he would tremble in fright because of the white tiger's desire to devour, and his whole body would be full of qi and blood;
Slowly, he gradually got used to the ferocity of the tiger, and could look at him without changing his face;
In the end, Lu Qing was completely fearless, and even began to carefully observe why this tiger brought him so much oppression.
Just when Lu Qing was admiring this picture of the white tiger, he heard a hearty laugh behind him: "Lu Darttou, can this painting still enter your eyes?" ”
Lu Qing came back to his senses and saw Xu Mu and Xu Jinxiu standing behind him with a smile.
"Let the lady see the smile."
Lu Qing shook his head and said ashamedly: "I don't know anything about painting, but I feel that the white tiger in this painting is amazing, which makes people tremble, but specifically how good this painting is, I don't dare to comment on it." ”
"Lu Darthead is too modest, it's just an ordinary painting, where is Lu Darthead so exaggerated?"
Mother Xu only thought that Lu Qing was praising this white tiger picture, and smiled modestly.
"Oh?"
Hearing the meaning of Xu's mother's words, Lu Qing couldn't help but move in his heart, and said, "Madam, I really like this painting very much, I don't know if I can buy it?" ”
"Lu Dart is polite, it's just a painting."
Mother Xu said to the housekeeper beside her, "Go and take off the head of the dart and wrap it." ”
"No, no, madam, it's better for me to buy this painting."
Intuition told him that there seemed to be a secret hidden in this painting, so Lu Qing was unwilling to take advantage of Xu's mother like this.
Mother Xu had the momentum of a big family, waved her hand and said: "Lu Darttou doesn't have to be so angry, you saved the life of the little girl, and it is already our courtesy to give you a painting, where can I ask for your money?" ”
After speaking, he led Lu Qing to the front house and said, "Come on, come on, Lu Darthead, let's go eat first." ”
"This ...... All right. ”
Lu Qing had no choice but to follow Xu's mother and Xu Jinxiu to the front house.
When he came to the front, Lu Qing found that the food had been set up here, and the chicken, duck and fish meat were extremely rich.
"Lu Darthead, please be seated."
Mother Xu beckoned Lu Qing to sit down, and then raised the teacup and said: "Lu Dart, I am not strong enough to drink, so I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast Lu Dart with a cup first, thank you for saving the life of the little woman in danger!" ”
"Madam, this is a matter of the next division."
Lu Qing replied.
"What a thing!"
Xu Mu praised: "If everyone can abide by their duties like Lu Darthead, I don't know how much trouble there will be in this world - come, Lu Dart, for your words, I will toast you again!" ”
“…… Thank you, ma'am! ”
Lu Qing didn't know how Mother Xu could find a reason to toast, so she had to accompany her for another drink.
As soon as the second cup was drunk, Lu Qing saw Xu's mother raise the cup for the third time: "Lu Darttou, this cup, I want you to take careful care of the little girl on the road." ”
Lu Qing was helpless, so he had to raise his glass again.
In this way, before the banquet was halfway through, Lu Qing was poured nearly a jar of wine by Xu's mother's toast.
Even if the liquor in this world is not high, Lu Qing is still dizzy from drinking, only feeling that his cheeks are hot, his legs are weak, and everything in front of him seems to have a ghost.
Seeing that Lu Qing was drunk like this, still maintaining etiquette, without any gaffes, Mother Xu nodded secretly.
Then, after another toast, Xu Mu asked seemingly unintentionally, "Lu Darttou, what do you think of Jinxiu's appearance?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Jinxiu's hand shook slightly, an unnatural seductive flush rose on his face, and a pair of wonderful eyes peeked at Lu Qing shyly and timidly, looking forward to his answer.
Lu Qing's eyes were misty at the moment, and she subconsciously looked at Xu Jinxiu on the side, and after seeing her shy, she blurted out and sighed: "Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving - Miss Xu is the most beautiful person I have seen in my life." ”
Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving?
Hearing these two poems, Xu Jinxiu and Xu's mother were stunned.
Especially Xu Jinxiu, the eyes that looked at Lu Qing were even brighter.
Mother Xu also nodded with satisfaction, she didn't expect Lu Qing's literary talent to be so high.
Seeing that Lu Qing was about to get drunk, Mother Xu immediately seized the time to ask, "Lu Darttou, since my daughter is so beautiful, what do you think of her?" ”
Seeing that her mother asked so bluntly, Xu Jinxiu's face was suddenly ashamed like the sunset on the horizon, she looked down at her toes, but her ears were on Lu Qing's side.
"What do I think of her?"
Lu Qing seemed to be stunned, and then said with a big tongue: "Miss Xu is naturally excellent, some people in our dart game say that I don't know which lucky person can marry a fairy like Miss Xu in the future......"
Hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Lu Darttou, what do you ...... about Jinxiu?"
Before she finished asking, she saw Lu Qing's eyes suddenly turn red, and tears fell: "My poor brother died in the hands of Baihuzhai this time, how should I explain to his father and mother after I go back!" ”
After that, he fell on the desk and cried.
"Uh, this ......"
Seeing Lu Qing who was suddenly crying, Xu's mother's questioning naturally couldn't continue, so she had to wave her hand and ask Xu Jinxiu to persuade Lu Qing to mourn.
Xu Jinxiu hesitated, sat down next to Lu Qing, patted Lu Qing's back a little stiffly, and comforted softly.
After a while, Lu Qing's crying became quieter.
Just as Mother Xu was about to continue asking, she heard a slight snoring sound, and Lu Qing fell asleep like this.
"Mother?"
Xu Jinxiu looked at her mother in amazement.
Mother Xu was also speechless for a while, so she had to smile bitterly: "That's it, daughter, let's send Lu Darttou back to the house to rest first." ”
"Yes."
Xu Jinxiu also knew that he couldn't ask Lu Qing's mind no matter what he wanted today, so he had to nod and command the servants to carry Lu Qing to the guest room.
When Xu Jinxiu left, Xu's mother asked the housekeeper, "How is it?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, Lu Darttou is pretending to be asleep."
The butler replied softly.
"Sure enough."
Xu Mu nodded slightly, and then sighed: "It's rare to have such an excellent handsome, but I have no intention of Jinxiu." ”
"That lady, do you want an old slave ......?"
The little fingers of the housekeeper's two hands are hooked together, and the thumbs touch each other, which means that the raw rice is cooked and ripe.
Xu Mu thought about it, but still shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, since Lu Qing is unwilling, why should we force him?" ”
The butler nodded.
"By the way, why do you think Lu Qing likes that white tiger picture?"
Xu Mu suddenly frowned and asked.
"I don't know, maybe I really like that painting."
The butler shook his head.
"In this case, then give it to him, how to say that my father bought it back for a hundred taels of silver, so it should be regarded as a thank you to him for saving Xiu'er's life."
