Chapter 13: Uninvited Guests
The three of them were stunned, and after a few breaths, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and reached out to pull the door, blocking Qiao Qiao and Qiao Niang behind him at the same time.
It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
Since the other party dares to chase after Yangliu Lane, it is useless to hide as a turtle, who can be blocked by a courtyard gate?
The white-robed man stood in front of the door, looked at Xiao Feng, who was blocking the door with a righteous face, and shook his head.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed Xiao Feng aside, stepped into the courtyard, swaggered into the main room and sat down, and threw the things he was holding on the table.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and strode into the main house. Qiao Niang closed the door, pulled Qiao Qiao, and quietly followed.
Maybe there is real danger, and they can't help, but they will never let the master face the danger alone.
Xiao Feng saw that under the light, the bag of things on the table was actually dozens of meat buns.
The white-robed man picked up one, took a bite, and frowned: "The oil is too big." What are you running, didn't you promise the little girl to buy meat buns? ”
Xiao Feng looked at him in surprise, he was sure he couldn't remember this person, although it felt a little familiar.
Qiao Niang behind her let out a low exclamation, and then squatted deeply: "Lord Lu, it turned out to be you!" ”
Xiao Feng suddenly remembered.
When my father first joined Jinyiwei as an errand boy, he was still young, and he should have seen Lu Bing.
But then he studied behind closed doors, and Lu Bing never came to his house. Even when Xiao Wannian died, he had never been there, and he didn't remember what he looked like anymore.
This commander of the Jinyi Guard, come to the house of a former subordinate who has been dead for several years, what is the cost?
Lu Bing looked at Qiao Niang, looking lonely, and seemed to remember a lot of things. But he was not a person who was disturbed by emotions and quickly regained his composure.
"You heard everything I said to King Yu."
Xiao Feng nodded, there was no point in lying, especially in the face of the person in front of him.
"I've never heard that you can tell fortunes, and there are no Taoist priests in Xiao Wannian's ancestors. I don't know how you did it, but the guards said it was accurate. ”
Xiao Feng still didn't speak, his set of golden statements, it was okay to tell others, for Lu Bing, he was a little weak-hearted, he had to think of something more decent.
"Long live the Dao, and I am very concerned about the affairs of the Daomen. If you have real skills, you can't make a comeback.
It's just that fortune-telling is too vain, I don't believe it, if you are not completely sure, you better keep a low profile.
Xiao Wannian is just your son, I can't watch you die. ”
Xiao Feng suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, although he changed the core, his memory of Xiao Wannian was still clear.
Even if he doesn't have such a deep family affection, after all, he is his father in this world, and he is the closest and most admired person in his memory.
That shrewd and capable man, one day suddenly took Qiaoniang and Qiaoqiao home, and then got drunk.
Within a few days, he lost his official position and became a flat-headed commoner. After that, he drank at home every day, and he didn't shave his beard, as if he was getting old all of a sudden.
A few years later, when he died, Xiao Feng found out all the money in the family, but it was not enough money for a decent coffin.
Qiao Niang wanted to sell herself to buy a coffin for Xiao Wannian, but was stopped by Xiao Feng. At that time, although he was still a nerd before the core change, he was still a good person.
If it weren't for Liu Xue'er secretly sending a handful of broken silver, I'm afraid that he would have to sell the house to let Xiao Wannian settle down.
According to Xiao Wannian, when he was on an errand with Lu Bing, he saved Lu Bing's life.
When Xiao Wannian lost his position, Lu Bing was already in command of Tongzhi, named No. 2, and he was actually in power, what did he do?
After Xiao Wannian lost his official position, a family of four often drank gruel, drank the worst and worst wine, Lu Bing's mansion was a beautiful concubine, and he had fine clothes and food, what did he do?
When Xiao Wannian died, because of a coffin and a cemetery, his family was almost ruined, what did he do?
Now this person is ashamed to say that he has done a lot for Xiao Wannian and kept him, is it because he is accurate in fortune telling? Because he has a chance to make a comeback?
Xiao Feng was not stupid enough to argue with him directly, he just expressed his disdain with silence.
Qiao Niang looked at Xiao Feng and stopped talking. Her own knowledge is limited, and it may not be the whole truth.
The past, for the master, maybe the less you know, the better.
Now the lord has the ability to make money, so he will take care of the family for him, live a peaceful life, and marry a good wife for the lord in the future.
This is the best way to repay the first master.
Lu Bing could feel Xiao Feng's hostility, but he didn't plan to explain anything at this time, and even if Xiao Feng knew the truth, he might not hate him.
He stood up and walked out: "I'm here today to make an exception, because someone made an exception first, I won't come here if it's okay, I'll give you a word." ”
"If you want to be safe, you either have to be low enough that no one can see it, or you have to be high enough to be in the limelight."
After he left, Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Feng with an angry face, straightened his chest, and said with dignity: "We don't eat the buns he bought!" Let's drink porridge! ”
Xiao Feng patted her on the head: "Silly you, if you don't eat buns, what kind of porridge to drink, take vinegar!" ”
Qiaoqiao's temperament was suddenly left behind, and he ran to pour vinegar with a smile.
Xiao Feng took out five taels of silver and handed it to Qiao Niang: "There are still three taels left, it's enough." ”
Qiao Niang cautiously put it away, and wanted to ask if the five taels of silver were related to today's troubles, so after thinking about it, she decided to ask her daughter when she went to bed at night.
At this time in Liu's Mansion, Liu Tong looked at the housekeeper waiting outside the door, and refused to let him in, and he didn't go out himself, and ate calmly.
Instead, it was the lady and the two children, absentmindedly eating, staring at him all the time.
Liu Tong coughed: "What to see, eat, Xue'er eats more meat, what are you doing with just vegetables?" ”
Liu Xueer used chopsticks to adjust a green vegetable and chewed it slowly.
Liu Peng chewed the meat in his mouth and muttered, "Daddy, you want to beckon the housekeeper to come in and say hello, why are you so struggling?" ”
Liu Tong glared at his son: "I don't say anything about eating, I won't talk about anything after eating." ”
Mrs. Liu nodded approvingly, it seems that she can be gentle with him tonight, at least she can go to bed.
Feeling the friendliness from his wife, Liu Tong satisfied himself with a small glass of wine, reddish-brown wine.
This is the housekeeper's ancestral secret recipe, soaked in deer antlers, tiger bones, and cistanche, and it is said that the effect is very good.
I didn't dare to drink it for the first two days, but today Liu Tong was cautious and made sure that the atmosphere was good.
After everyone finished eating safely, Liu Tong asked everyone to go back to the backyard, and then called the housekeeper in, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Master, today Zhao Shilang's housekeeper took someone to find Xiao Feng for trouble, and was stopped back by Zhao Shilang."
Well? Is Zhao Wenhua so generous?
Liu Tong frowned, Zhao Er also promised his housekeeper yesterday that as long as the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion made a move, Xiao Feng would definitely be unlucky, it was really unreliable.
"But master, Xiao Feng has no business for a day today, and I didn't come back until the sun pressed the mountain, and everyone closed the stall. He waited for the boy from yesterday, but the boy didn't come. His day was in vain! ”
Liu Tong was overjoyed: "I'll just say that his good luck has come to an end!" Yesterday he didn't earn a penny! I cheated three taels of silver two days ago, which really scared me! He didn't earn a penny in the next two days, hahahahaha! Yay, great! You've done a great job! ”
The commended butler went away rejoicing. Liu Tong felt that the heat of the medicinal wine had gone all the way down from the stomach, straight to the dantian, and the whole person had begun to rise.
So I happily walked to the main room and decided to behave well.
Halfway through, I heard Liu Peng shouting: "Mother, my sister is crying, crying and vomiting, and she vomited at dinner!" ”
Liu Tong was shocked, and then he heard his wife shouting angrily: "Go to the study and sleep!" ”
