Chapter 32: A showdown
Lu Mansion Lu Fengxian rarely takes care of it, but the house was sent by Xie Yao, it is really big, but it has always been quite cold, and then Xie Kui moved in, and Lu Fengxian spent more days at home, Xie Kui is good at housework, and the house is well maintained.
Now living in a group of Oiran, Xie Kui, as Lu Fengxian's Ming media, is naturally an eldest woman, weak and dignified in front of Lu Fengxian, but in front of these women, she has quite an aura.
Most of the women also know that they are two pounds, and they are obedient to Xie Kui, but there are many women, and it is inevitable to compete for favor, and they have to stammer with Xie Kui, but for the women who come with them, it is a competitive relationship, this is still Lu Fengxian's iron rod can lower the heavy demon, and it can also be wet with rain and dew, this has to be a weakness, you don't have to look for other things every day, you can watch a palace fight drama by sitting in the courtyard.
"The general's chess skills are obviously extremely high, why do you never play against Zaixia?" Lu Chao originally came to play chess with Lu Fengxian, but was recruited by Lu Fengxian to play against Xing Yao, who was the best at chess, which made Lu Chao a little dissatisfied.
"If you can get Lu Gongzi to say this, the master's chess skills should not be bad, why do you never play with the slave family?" Xing Yao looked at Lu Fengxian with some resentment.
"It's too much brainpower, and besides, what chess should I play with you?" Lu Feng glanced at Xing Yao first, Li Xingzhi has been busy with his feet not touching the ground recently, and he really can't bear to use this kind of thing to consume his brain power again.
"I'm just too lazy." Shishi sent the grapes to Lu Xuan's mouth, there was a woman Xie Kui in the family before, and he would do something by himself when he came back, but now there is a group of women who don't give birth, Lu Feng is really an uncle when he comes back first, he can reach out for food and open his mouth, and he will not sit if he can lie down.
"For some reason, there is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the general." Lu Chao fell a son, looked at Lu Fengxian strangely, according to Confucian standards, this Lu Fengxian's words and deeds, from hair to toes, none of them meet the standards of Confucianism, but it is inexplicably close, I can't hate it, although Lu Chao is not like when he was in the anti-thief camp, he is not used to this kind of reckless behavior, but this standard falls on Lu Fengxian, and it seems to have lost its effectiveness.
"This is called eyesight, there are not so many rules and regulations in this world, I hate a person, even if his words and deeds are gentlemanly, he still hates it, and vice versa." Lu Xuan took a sip of the wine that Su Xue brought with his mouth and smiled casually.
"Yes." Lu Chao is right to think about it, a humble gentleman, or a corrupt official with a sanctimonious manner, he has seen too much of this, Lu Fengxian should be called a man of temperament, of course, if it is not pleasing to the eye, it is a vulgar martial artist.
"Ah Chao, you didn't come to look for me today, didn't you just play chess?" Lu Fengxian glanced at Lu Chao and said.
Ah Chao?
Lu Chao was stunned, no one had used this title for a long time, he looked at Lu Fengxian, nodded and said, "There are some things, I want to ask the general." ”
"Say."
Lu Chao looked at the women around him.
"Here, even if you tell me that you want to rebel and kill the emperor, you don't have to shy away from it." Lu Fengxian looked at Xie Kui, who came over with fruit, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes: "But it's okay to say it." ”
"Today, the family teacher is playing the Son of Heaven, and he wants to investigate the corruption behind the Qinglou, what does the general think?" Lu Chao asked after greeting Xie Kui.
"Lie down and watch." Lu Xuan said casually.
Lu Chao didn't speak, just looked at each other.
"You want to say that he solves the problem, he is indeed solving it, but the court does not seem to have this power in its hands, the new army is not a climate, the city guards, the city guards, the royal forest army, and the Yulin army are not in the hands of the emperor, this step is a bit urgent, but there seems to be no better way, either wait for death, or fight."
"Although the general is a martial artist, he sees it thoroughly." Lu Chao bowed his head and said: "I don't know if the general has ever thought about it, if the general helps His Majesty, there may be a turnaround." ”
"You didn't come to me to avoid trouble?" Lu Fengxian looked at Lu Chao in surprise.
Lu Chao nodded and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the general, it's to avoid trouble, but if I can't do it, I still want to help the teacher, of course, if you can't do it, you still put your own safety first." ”
"It's a little bit of filial piety, but it's not much." Lu Fengxian said speechlessly: "Then continue to stay well, this level of game, don't interfere at will, I won't risk my brother's life to fight for the future for others, this big cadre should die, the Ji family has enjoyed eight hundred years of national fortune, and now it has come to an end, your teacher can't hold it up, let alone the little emperor." ”
Lu Chao nodded, even if he wanted to help, he would help the teacher, as for whether Daqian died or not, it had nothing to do with him.
"By the way, I'm going to take my family on a trip in a few days." Lu Fengxian suddenly said something inexplicable: "As for which day, I haven't thought about it yet, you go back and help me think about which day is appropriate, where is the right place to go, the city guards also have to accompany the guards, I have been here for so long, and I haven't visited this Tianzhou properly." ”
Lu Chao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Fengxian in amazement.
"Go back, think about which day is appropriate, and find me an auspicious day for the zodiac!"
"Yes!" Lu Chao's gaze swept over Xie Kui, and then looked at Lu Fengxian, but saw that Lu Fengxian didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he could only get up and retreat.
Late at night, tonight's accompaniment to Lu Fengxian was Su Xue and Lang Yu's second daughter, at this time, Xie Kui should have slept, but in the room, Xie Kui quietly looked at the small jade slip in front of him, this is Xie Yao's magic weapon for her, there is no special effect, but the jade slip is written on this side, and the same content will appear on the same scroll of jade slip on the other side.
What Lu Fengxian said to Lu Chao at the end today obviously has a deep meaning, Xie Kui, as a secret son arranged by Lu Fengxian's side, although he doesn't understand what it means, he keenly feels that this information should be very important.
After being silent for a long time, Xie Kui looked at the jade slip that had been opened, but in the end he still didn't write it, and chose to put the jade slip away.
"This is the magic weapon you used to communicate with your father-in-law?" The sudden sound startled Xie Kui, and he suddenly turned around, just as he saw Lu Fengxian looking at him with interest.
"Husband...... Husband? Xie Kui was silent for a moment, then fell to his knees silently.
"What is this?" Lu Xuan asked with a smile.
"Since the husband already knows the identity of the concubine, I don't think he will forgive the concubine." Xie Kui said in a low voice.
"Didn't you deliberately let me find out? I would have liked to spend some more time with you. Lu Xuan stretched out his hand and beckoned the jade slip into his hand: "Doing this kind of small action in front of a five-grade master, you don't look like such a stupid person, you used to be sure that I would only use it outside, right?" What, this is not want to do it anymore? ”
Xie Kui bowed his head silently: "My lord's eyes." ”
"Let's call it husband, I'm used to it." Lu Xuan sat down and looked at Xie Kui and said, "What's your real name?" ”
"Sikui."
"Then let's call it Sikui from now on." Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Since you don't want to continue to be Lao Xie's righteous daughter, then be the wife of General Lu." ”
"Husband doesn't blame the concubine?" Si Kui raised his head and looked at Lu Xuan in confusion.
"You are just a chess piece yourself, and you can't help yourself what you do, but from the moment you become my woman, you have the qualification to choose whether to continue to be a chess piece.
Si Kui nodded silently.
"Then would you like to be a pawn for your husband for a while?" Lu Xuan looked at Si Kui and asked with a smile.
Si Kui raised his head and looked at Lu Xuan in confusion.
"At the right time, send some news to my old man, during this period, how it was before, how it was still how it was." Lu Xuan looked at Si Kui.
Si Kui hesitated.
"Think about it, I don't know why you people are willing to work for him, for him, you are just a bargaining chip to give away at any time, there is no difference between the women I brought back, but here, you are the general's wife, if you want, you can always be." Lu Xuan got up and walked out.
"Si Kui...... I am willing to obey the orders of my husband. ”
"Okay, then during this time, use your thing to express a meaning to Lao Xie, you can't say it explicitly, but let Lao Xie feel that you have taken a fancy to Lu Chao." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Si Kui looked at Lu Xuan blankly, not understanding why he did this.
"Just do it, don't ask too much."
"Yes."
In the following days, after investigating and handling the Qinglou, Li Xinian began to liquidate many officials in the DPRK and China along various lines, for example, the situation in the prefecture is relatively stable today, and the students of the Hongru Academy have begun to occupy the official positions in the counties and counties of Tianzhou, and the turmoil in the DPRK and China has basically not affected the locality.
Although there will still be great turmoil in the end, it is already the limit that Li Xinian can control, he wants to cut through the mess quickly, but these seem to have nothing to do with Lu Fengxian, since he brought home the Oiran of Spring, he has basically never been out except for going to the barracks.
"Feng Xian, I heard that you recently recruited a master bookkeeper, quite talented?" On this day, Xie Yao summoned Lu Fengxian and asked with a smile.
"Well, this son is quite talented, I look at it well, stay by my side, and help me deal with some chores." Lu Xuan nodded and smiled.
"There is a difference between the top and bottom, respect and inferiority are orderly, even if you value this person, you should not arrange him at home, after all, you have a lot of female dependents in your family, and there are some things that you still have to guard against." Xie Yao shook his head and smiled.
"The son-in-law understands, so he will arrange a place for him to live." Lu Xuan nodded.
"Since he is full of talent, it is a bit condescending to be a master bookkeeper after all, Hui'er has now gone to Dongzhou to take office, and there is a shortage of manpower around her, I don't know if Feng Xian is willing to cut love?" Xie Yao asked with a smile.
"What my father-in-law said, he was transferred directly, he cultivated Confucianism, and Gongzi Hui was indeed more suitable for him." Lu Xuan nodded absently.
Xie Yao paid close attention to Lu Xuan's expression, and when he saw that he was really casual, he shook his head in his heart, in Si Kui's recent report, he mentioned that Lu Chao was more than Lu Xuan, and there was a lot of beauty in his words, I think this woman was tempted, after all, Lu Xuan directly brought the spring-like Oiran to the house, and this matter would not be good for any eldest woman, plus the sister is pretty, although Lu Fengxian is not bad, but a woman like Si Kui who has read a book probably prefers the kind of polite and polite, plus Lu Fengxian, who seems to be lustful, In fact, I don't care much about women, and it's inevitable that I will change my mind.
But this kind of thing, Xie Yao didn't allow it to happen, so he could only transfer this Lu Chao away, the farther the better, and cut off the idea of Si Kui.
Weng and son-in-law chatted for a while, Xie Yao focused on Lu Xuan's private life, he couldn't forget his wife if he had a newcomer, Lu Xuan naturally nodded yes, and then pulled it to the current court situation, Lu Xuan has always ignored this, most of them listened to Xie Yao, and had lunch in Xie Mansion before Lu Xuan got up and said goodbye and left.
