Luojing.

Xicheng, Chongde Fang.

"Haaa......"

Lu Chen, who had just taken a nap, stretched hard, and then got up from the bed.

As if the heart had a soul, a light footstep sounded outside at the right time.

"Cousin, are you up?"

"Just up."

Lu Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes, put on his shoes, and walked outside.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Luo Xiaoyu, dressed in purple, standing in front of the door.

"Cousin, dinner is ready."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Chen nodded, habitually stretched out his hand, and rubbed Luo Xiaoyu's little head.

Luo Xiaoyu not only did not resist, but squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the touch of Lu Chen's palm through her hair, just like when she was a child, she always ran around behind Lu Chen's buttocks.

The two of them went to the dining room together, and sat opposite each other at a very ordinary dining table.

"That's right, cousin."

Just halfway through eating, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "Your Majesty rewarded your cousin with your house, the house deed and title deed have been prepared, and the person who sent the contract documents also said that the house has been repaired and you can move in at any time." ”

After a pause, a tangle flashed inexplicably in her eyes.

"Cousin, when are we going to move in?"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said casually: "Then the day after tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu nodded lightly.

"Well, that's ......"

The action of chopping rice is inexplicably a bit big.

At this moment, a blue butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew in.

"What a beautiful butterfly~"

Luo Xiaoyu quickly noticed the butterfly, her eyes lit up slightly, and she even looked eager to try.

Girls, most of them don't have much resistance to pretty and cute things.

Lu Chen just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and concentrated on cooking.

After dinner, Lu Chen was about to go back to his room, when at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Luo Xiaoyu stopped tidying up the dishes and chopsticks as if she was a conditioned reflex, and then without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, she got up and walked quickly outside.

Looking at her petite figure, Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and swallowed the "I'll take a look" he was about to say back into his stomach.

A moment later, she trotted back like an industrious little bee.

"Cousin, there is a man who claims to be the head of the Nanpi Gu family who asks to see him."

Family?

Lu Chen thought for a moment, then nodded with a clear face.

"Let him in."

"Okay."

After Luo Xiaoyu ran away again, Lu Chen tidied up his clothes and walked towards the living room.

But he didn't notice that the butterfly saw him leave, and slowly left the dining room, flew into the air, and finally landed on an inconspicuous eaves in the living room.

It didn't take long for Luo Xiaoyu to lead an elegant middle-aged man over.

The person who came was naturally Gu Yanming.

He first looked at Lu Chen for a moment, and then without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, he arched his hand towards him, and said in a rather low voice: "In Xia Gu Yanming, I have seen Lord Lu." ”

"Master Hou is tormented."

Lu Chen got up and saluted back.

"The ancestors of the Gu family followed Emperor Guangwu and made great achievements for the restoration of Great Xia, hereditary marquis, and then not only did not sink in power, but strictly governed the family style, who did not know that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was full of talents, full of loyalty? Now the daughter of the Hou Ye is guarding the border for the imperial court, annihilating countless foreign races, keeping the northwest border safe, making great contributions to the court, the Gu family has countless military exploits, and has made outstanding achievements, how dare you hold it up in front of the Hou Ye? ”

Hearing this praise without the slightest hint of yin and yang, Gu Yanming's face couldn't help but move.

He looked at Lu Chen's eyes quietly, but found that there was nothing else in his eyes except respect.

After a while, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then said: "Thank you Lord Lu for your love, old man, I dare not be ashamed." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Lu Chen and said, "Whether the little girl is loyal or traitorous has not yet been decided, for now, according to the old man, the Gu family is not worthy of you to be so respected by Lord Lu." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes moved slightly.

He was polite first, asked Gu Yanming to sit down, and instructed Luo Xiaoyu to prepare some things for hospitality.

After Gu Yanming sat down, Lu Chen asked in a deep voice, "Master Hou, don't you believe your daughter either?" ”

Gu Yanming inexplicably remembered in his mind that the Zhao family deliberately arranged for his daughter to meet with Zhao Feifei, who could only talk on paper, so that Zhao Feifei fell in love with his daughter at first sight and pursued him frantically, and then after his daughter clearly refused, he was forced to die.

The next second, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, the family is unlucky."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes quietly flashed with an imperceptible light.

Unfortunate at home?

is the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father.

If you say that, then Gu Simiao......

"Lord Lu."

Gu Yanming suddenly looked at Lu Chen with great solemnity: "The old man knows that Miao'er has a life-saving grace for you, and I am very grateful to you for doing your best to fight for the Gu family's life, but Miao'er's matter... The old man thinks that it is better for Lord Lu not to go to this troubled water. ”

As Gu Yanming's words gradually fell, the light in Lu Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Gee... This Gu Yanming is quite good.

It's already like this, and I don't want to use all means to protect myself, but I still think about others.

A good person.

However, when he said this, he was obviously extremely unoptimistic about the affairs of the wasteland.

It seems that Gu Simiao is the opposite!

The more this is the case, the more you can't back down......

At this time, Gu Yanming said again: "Lord Lu is deeply trusted by His Majesty, even if he doesn't do anything, he can be enterprising, go to the cabinet to worship the prime minister, he is so righteous, fair, pedant, he can be called a generation of heroes, and he will definitely be able to assist His Majesty to create a great cause in the future, there is no need to gamble on ......the future."

"Master Hou, don't say it again."

Without waiting for Gu Yanming to finish speaking, Lu Chen suddenly interrupted in a cold voice: "In the future, I will definitely not change my mind." ”

Hearing this sonorous and powerful answer, Gu Yanming was stunned.

Then he shook his head again and sighed, "Lord Lu, why are you so troubled......

"In this life, it was Miss Gu who saved it."

Lu Chen slowly stood up, then walked slowly outside with his hands in his hands.

As he walked, he said in a deep voice: "Of course, if it's just a life-saving grace, at most I can return this life, but before Miss Gu left, I asked Zai Xia to be a good official who is dedicated to the people and the world, which can be regarded as repaying her kindness." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yanming's heart suddenly trembled.

This... Wasn't that what he had taught his daughter?

In a trance, Lu Chen's voice sounded again: "It is precisely because of Miss Gu's words that I can unswervingly serve the country with loyalty, and I am lucky to have His Majesty's trust, so I have today, otherwise, I would have been lost to everyone in the future." ”

"It's so gracious, it's like reinvention, so..."

Click

The sound of heavy footsteps made Gu Yanming come back to his senses in an instant.

"In any case, I don't believe that Miss Gu will betray the court, regardless of the people in the world, she will easily provoke a war, even if she gambles everything, she will vouch for her."

"Even if you, the father, don't believe her, the Manchu Dynasty doesn't believe her, and the whole world doesn't believe her, you will never waver for half a point."

With that, Lu Chen walked out of the living room with a cold face.

"Xiao Yu, send off!"

Looking at Lu Chen's back as he walked away, Gu Yanming only felt that his eyes were a little sour.

Daughter, you must not live up to Lu's trust.

At the same time, the blue butterflies on the eaves fluttered their wings lightly and soared directly into the air in the cold evening breeze, flying into the distance
