Chapter 59: Meet the Parents
At night, in the living room of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang's room.
"Solomon's Temple?" Lu Mingfei pondered the name for a moment, "It sounds quite stylish, isn't it powerful?" ”
"It's a relatively strong half-breed organization, their predecessor was the 'Knights Templar' that had been destroyed in the Middle Ages, and there are branches in many parts of Europe, including this Viana do Castelo town, where there is a branch of the Solomonic Temple Order, and they are the target of our mission."
Susie said: "Some time ago, the academy received a report from some anonymous people that Fort Viana, that is, the branch of the Temple of Solomon in this town, is suspected of human trafficking of mixed races, and has provided some evidence, but this evidence is not enough to conclude that the branch temple here must be carrying out the crime of human trafficking. ”
"So the college approached the main hall of Solomon's Temple and asked them to send the Inspector General to the branch to conduct a self-examination," Susie said, "and we are here as representatives of the academy to go through the motions and negotiate." ”
"Why don't we find out?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"We are the leaders of the Martial Arts Alliance, not the imperial court," Susie explained, "The Solomon Temple Society is not a subordinate organization of the Secret Party, and requiring them to conduct a self-examination is already the limit of what the Secret Party can do, so you can't send someone to go through their personnel lists, confidential documents, and even bases, right?" When the time comes, Solomon's Temple will probably prefer to go to war. ”
"So we're really just going through the motions?" Lu Mingfei confirmed.
"Almost, this kind of self-examination can only be handed over to the inspector general sent by their main hall, we can make an appointment with the inspector general at any time to ask him about the progress and results of the review, and when the final results come out, we can return to the school." Susie said.
"Then this mission should be quite simple, we can go on a trip and relax." Lu Mingfei Dao.
"Well," Susie nodded, "According to my understanding, this kind of task as a representative of the academy is a formality, if it weren't for the fact that the Solomon Temple would be relatively powerful, and the academy would need to show a corresponding attitude, there would be no need to let Chu Zihang, the president of the Lionheart Society, come." ”
Speaking of this, Susie looked at Lu Mingfei again: "Actually, in theory, you shouldn't come to negotiate with Solomon's Temple to have a branch hall, and no matter how you don't send an S-class." ”
"I'm just a mixed-credit intern." Lu Mingfei sat down obediently.
"It's just a self-inspection of a branch hall, and it actually made the Kassel Academy send an S-class figure to personally supervise it, and the people of the Solomonic Temple Society are probably flattered." Susie laughed.
"So when are we going to reach out to them?" Lu Mingfei said curiously, "Tomorrow?" ”
"No," Chu Zihang shook his head, "In three days, the inspector general of the Solomon Temple will be in charge of reviewing this branch hall." ”
"It was Chu Zihang who specially arranged to come three days early," Susie explained, "This will not only give me time to demonstrate the Sword Emperor to you, but Chu Zihang and I can also take advantage of this time to tutor you in some more practical knowledge in advance." ”
After a pause, Susie added, "The kind that won't be taught in textbooks." ”
"Thank you, senior brother and sister." Lu Mingfei looked moved, as if he would pounce on Susie's thigh at any time to show his loyalty.
"No thanks, no thanks," Susie smiled, "as long as you give priority to our Lionheart Club when you enroll in the club." ”
"No problem!" Lu Mingfei patted his chest, "I will be a member of the Lionheart Society in the future!" ”
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Su Xiaoqiao's cousin Turio came to pick up Lu Mingfei and the three of them to be guests in their family.
Sjuker D12 drove all the way into a small manor, which was much older and more elaborate than the modern manors, with a fountain in the center of the lawn mottled with stone shells.
The car was parked at the door of the most central room, and the waiter who had been waiting here opened the door for them, showing strict upbringing in every move.
Every building, every road, and even every attendant here reflects the depth of this family's precipitation in history, which is the unique heritage of the "nobles" cultivated by the family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Su Qian walked into the house, and on the long corridor, they already saw that a long table had been set up in the main hall, with silver candlesticks on the white tablecloth, and people were already sitting around.
Su Xiaoqiao walked quickly towards Lu Mingfei: "It's finally here, slow death to you!" ”
"We came here as soon as we woke up!" Lu Mingfei cried out for himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, come on, I'll introduce you to my family!" Su Xiaoqiao grabbed Lu Mingfei's wrist and led him into the main hall.
Seeing Su Xiaoqiao dragging Lu Mingfei's wrist into the main hall, the faces of several people sitting at the dining table changed in different ways.
Su Xiaoqiao pulled Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang and Su Qian followed behind the two and walked to the long table.
"This is my grandfather." Su Xiaoqiao let go of Lu Mingfei and walked to the front of an old man with white hair and said.
"Hello grandpa." Lu Mingfei shouted casually.
Although the old man in the first seat is full of wrinkles, his eyes are bright, which is rare for an old man.
"Well, you're Xiaoqiao's classmate, right? I've heard her talk about you, and I've heard that you have a good relationship. The old man looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile.
I don't know why, the old man obviously smiled kindly, but when he met the old man's gaze, Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt a little weak.
It seems that I am not very good at dealing with older elders. Lu Mingfei guessed in his heart.
After all, he has not only never met his parents since he was a child, but also his grandparents and grandparents, and he lacks experience in communicating with the elderly.
"This is my mother." Su Xiaoqiao ran to a beautiful woman with long blond curly hair and held her arm.
"Hello Auntie!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly said.
I have to sigh, the little goddess is so beautiful, thanks to her mother's excellent genes, she should be about forty years old, but Su Xiaoqiao's mother looks less than thirty years old, her skin is white and delicate, her facial features are bright and moving, she is obviously a Westerner, but her eyebrows and eyes contain the subtlety of oriental classical beauty.
"Lu Mingfei?" Su Xiaoqiao's mother also looked at Lu Mingfei with a smile, and there was an incomprehensible meaning in her eyes.
Lu Mingfei subconsciously shrunk his neck - why is this aunt's gaze weird?
Then Su Xiaoqiao took Lu Mingfei to meet her uncle and aunt, that is, her mother's brother and sister.
Su Xiaoqiao's uncle is a strong man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters, his facial features are like knives and axes, and his face is more wild than the pirates in the movie, but the corners of his eyes are a bit like a bard, and his voice is magnetic like a wandering singer when he greets Lu Mingfei.
Su Xiaoqiao's aunt looks like a beautiful woman who can't help but be weak, wearing a plain white suspender dress, her skin is whiter than the skirt, and she looks like she is only about twenty years old, but her daughter is already in college abroad, and it is Amber that Su Xiaoqiao mentioned at the airport before, and she is still on her way home.
In addition, I heard Su Xiaoqiao's introduction, Cousin Turio, who had just gone to pick up Lu Mingfei and them, and now suddenly disappeared, as well as Cousin Elaina, who joined the Portuguese National Ballet and was so busy that she couldn't go home now, were all her uncle's children.
I have to say that the genes of Su Xiaoqiao's family are really strong, and there is no one in this family who has a low appearance, and even the old man with a wrinkled face on the first seat can vaguely see that he must be suave when he is young.
And it seems that because of the relatively small number of people, the family seems to have a good relationship, and they are also very welcoming to their group, which makes people feel at home.
By the time the waiters brought the dishes, the atmosphere at the long table became even more enthusiastic, and there was hardly any rustiness and embarrassment that would have occurred when they met for the first time.
Of course, the premise is to ignore the senior brother Chu who has been immersed in eating slowly.
It's just that Lu Mingfei doesn't understand one thing - why every elder of Su Xiaoqiao looks at him with a smile in his eyes, but it makes people feel that there is another meaning.
It's strange, is this your family's genetic inheritance or is it just the same family style?
Lu Mingfei complained in his heart.
Or is it actually a local Portuguese expression?
