Chapter 131: Fifteen Years Later (Chapter 4200)
"Lu Ming!
In the attic of the Lu family's collection of book slips, Lu Ming was flipping through a roll of bamboo slips. And the sound from downstairs made him stop thinking a little helplessly.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw a bouncing girl running up. Holding a plate of fruit in her hand, she fortunately didn't fall to the ground.
"Lu Ming, the fruit that has just been washed at home, I brought it to you before I ate it. The little girl looked like she was invited, which was quite pleasing.
Lu Ming casually took the fruit plate and looked at her, the little girl who caught herself to play every day at the beginning has grown up in fifteen years now.
At the same time, the phoenix flower birthmark on the forehead is also more and more gorgeous. However, at the age of seventeen, she is still dancing so happily, which also makes the eldest lady's heart tight.
After all, when the female eldest got married, the threshold of the Lu Mansion was about to be broken over the years, and I didn't see this girl nodding and agreeing.
"Have you done all the homework that Mr. has laid out? If you only remember to play, beware of being beaten by Mr. tomorrow." ”
"You have to call me Sister Jiu'er! ”
Jiu'er puffed out her mouth impatiently, then thought about it and came behind Lu Ming, and replied playfully: "Mr. has been teaching me lettering recently, this bamboo slip is hard and long, and my hands are sore." Lu Ming, you can help me!"
Lu Ming looked at the big eyes with a hopeful gaze in front of him, and he had a headache for a while.
In his previous life, Feng Baobao basically obeyed his words later. In addition, the head melon seeds are also bright, and I basically didn't teach much to learn things.
Speaking of which, it was only when she was in her previous life that Xiao Zhiruo was literate and handed it over by herself.
"I've helped you for a while, but I can't help you for a lifetime. Lettering also needs to be practiced by yourself little by little. ”
Saying that, Lu Ming remembered something, and asked, "By the way, I heard that one of your Erniang's elder brothers has come back?
At the mention of this half-brother, Jiu'er seemed to be in a bad mood all of a sudden, and she forgot about her homework.
"He, I heard from my mother that it seems that he made a mistake ten years ago, and was punished by his father to the countryside of his ancestral land. That guy is annoying, when I was four years old, he was trying to figure out how to fix me every day. Jiu'er pouted and complained.
However, he seemed to think of Lu Ming's identity, and sighed again and said, "It's useless to tell you, and you can't help me beat him." Lu Ming ......"
"Huh?" Lu Ming looked at her suspiciously.
"If you are also the son of the powerful of this Great Liang Country, it would be great. Jiu'er lowered her head, as if she had her own thoughts.
And Lu Ming looked at the more and more beautiful girl, but he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
The reincarnation of the four lives before and after is almost 300 years old. When Zhiruo and Min Min died, there was no love.
But...... It seems that the little girl has never agreed to propose marriage, and it is because of herself for a long time?
How to deal with rejecting a little girl? This is a very serious problem! Especially for Xiao Jiu, this kind of initial hazy thing can make people forget about life.
"Jiu'er, do you know how big this world is? So...... Soon after I find the place I want to know, I'll leave. ”
Lu Ming's words were tactful, and after he finished speaking, he looked at her, hoping that this girl would understand.
But......
"Do you want to go out and play? How about taking me with you? You see how boring you are when you go out alone, if you have me, you can still make you happy every day!" Lu Jiu'er seemed to be excited.
However, Lu Ming sighed, and was about to explain when he wanted to speak. But Lu Jiu'er suddenly had some panic in his eyes, reached out and took the fruit plate, threw down the two and ran away in a hurry.
And at this moment, in Lu Ming's spiritual awareness, Lu Jiu'er under the attic was full of tears, but he was still eating the fruit one bite at a time.
"Hey...... Immortal Destiny Immortal Yuan, if you can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, how good would it be? Even if it is not as you think, it can take you around. ”
Lu Ming turned around as he spoke, and put his mind back on the bamboo slips.
In fact, Lu Jiu'er can't blame him for his feelings. For more than ten years, I have seen her every day, learning together, enlightening together, and guarding her from being bullied.
So many first-time encounters, it is normal to have a long-term relationship in the haze.
............
On the second day, in the school where Mr. taught. A fat, oily big fat man rushed in directly.
At first glance, he looked at Lu Jiu'er, who was kneeling on Lu Ming's right.
"How has my little sister been doing all these years?
The big fat man glanced at Lu Ming as he spoke, and said with a straight face: "Boy, hurry up." Otherwise, I'll kill you in a moment!"
Lu Ming frowned, and was about to start letting him know something, but found that the lecturer in front of him went straight down.
The Great Liang State respected the literati, especially some heavyweight literati, and most of the officials were taught by them. Therefore, this old gentleman's status in the Lu Mansion is also high, especially in the child.
I saw the old gentleman holding the ring ruler and said, "Lu Lingfeng, if you come, go back to your seat, what's the matter? Ten years of confinement haven't made you honest?"
"Poof!"
At this time, Lu Ming burst out laughing.
This laugh immediately made the big fat man angry. Glaring at him, he asked, "What were you just laughing at?, my name is funny, isn't it?!"
Lu Ming looked at him, probably because Mr. was here, he didn't dare to make the first move. Otherwise, you may be in a different place!
"Lu Ming, what were you laughing at just now?" asked the gentleman solemnly.
Lu Ming thought for a while, stood up and replied, "Standing in the air, with a good demeanor." This name reminds me of how personable this young master Ling Feng will be in the future. That's why I couldn't help but laugh out loud. ”
As soon as these words came out, even the old gentleman couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. Indeed, how should a fat man who is like a behemoth stand in the air and be personable?
"Sit down, it's time to lecture!"
Lu Lingfeng glared at Lu Ming angrily, and finally shook and went to the back position.
............
"Bang, bang, bang!"
In the backyard of the Lu family, Lu Lingfeng at this moment was holding a huge pig's head.
After he staggered to his feet, he pointed at Lu Jiu'er and shouted, "Little girl, you wait, I'll go tell my father." You've joined forces with an outsider to beat your brother! Dead girl, you're completely elbowed out!"
Putting down the cruel words, this Ling Feng fat man staggered and slipped away.
However, Lu Jiu'er, who had just played unusually well, was in trouble at this time: "What can I do about this, if the dead fat man goes to tell his father, you will definitely be punished." ”
Lu Ming was very calm, smiled and replied: "It's okay, in fact, now, it's time to leave!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu'er's eyes widened, and he shook his head suddenly and said, "No! I'll say in a while that I beat it, you can't leave!"
Lu Ming looked at the little girl with a persistent face, and helplessly reached out and rubbed her little head, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, Lu Ming has been looking for clues about this world for more than ten years. From relying on the sky to being under one person, and then to the world with the aura of heaven and earth, he wants to understand this world.
Only by understanding can we know where to seek the way.
But it seems that in this world of immortals, the immortals are isolated from mortals. Among the bamboo slips of the Lu family, there was not even the slightest trace of immortals.
Even the geography of mountains and rivers only radiates some places around the Great Liang Kingdom.
However, there was a bamboo slip that reminded Lu Ming.
(To the west of the Great Liang Kingdom, there are big mountains, and the fog is heavy, and people are not allowed to enter.) Occasionally, there are people who enter the Kunlun Ruins and are confused, and they have woken up and gone out of the mountain. )
Kunlun Ruins, these three words made Lu Ming think of something. Since ancient times, in Chinese myths and stories, the word Kunlun has occupied a very high position.
Thinking about it, even if it wasn't Kunlun who was sitting in the Jade Void Palace, there must be real cultivators in there.
At this time, the butler of the Lu Mansion walked over from the main hall with two people.
"Miss Jiu'er, Lu Ming, the head of the family asked you to come over. ”
The old housekeeper said neither humble nor arrogant, but Lu Ming saw something different in his eyes.
............
In the hall of the Lu Mansion, Lu Ting, the head of the Lu family, sat on the first seat. The eldest lady on the side looked at Lu Ming with some worry, while the second lady next to her had an angry face.
"Lu Ming, are you guilty?!" Lu Ting's voice sounded.
"I don't know!" Lu Ming raised his eyelids, a little calm.
However, as soon as these words came out, they annoyed the head of the Lu family.
I saw him slap the case, and shouted angrily: "As a family member, you have committed the following crimes, and you still don't know the mistake!"
At this time, the eldest lady on the side was more busy and started a round: "Master, you dissipate your anger, Ming'er was brought up by me." Besides, before Ling Feng came back, he had never made any big mistakes, so maybe it was just an accident this time?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Lingfeng's own mother quit, stood up and said, "Sister is really good...... What kind of accident? Feng'er was beaten so badly, could it be an injury that can come out if you bump into it?"
These words seemed to make Lu Ting's anger even bigger, ignoring what the eldest lady wanted to say next to him, and immediately said to the old housekeeper: "The Great Liang State has the rules of the Great Liang State, and if the house slave commits it, cut off his hands and throw it out!"
Lu Ming smiled undeniably, and was about to say something when Lu Jiu'er on the side rushed out.
I saw her kneeling down on her knees and said, "Father, the second brother's injuries were all caused by me, if you want to punish me, it has nothing to do with Lu Ming!"
Lu Ting glanced at his daughter, and there was no trace of father's love in his eyes.
In fact, even if it is the eldest lady, she has not been favored all these years. The ancients of the Great Liang Kingdom were mostly patriarchal, and he has always had two attitudes towards Lu Lingfeng and Lu Jiu'er.
Even if his son made a heinous mistake ten years ago, he just let him take refuge in his ancestral land, but he had no intention of severely punishing him.
"Drive Lu Ming out of the Lu Mansion, Lu Jiu'er disrespects his brother and will be fined ten lashes!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Ting turned around and left. Although he didn't treat this daughter very well, if he was punished a little more harshly, he really couldn't say it.
The second lady raised her head proudly and strode away with her son.
The eldest lady on the side was still sitting and wiping her tears. As for the old butler, he waited outside the door to prepare for the punishment.
At this time, Lu Ming smiled and asked Lu Jiu'er: "Ten whips are very painful, why did you stand up for me just now?"
Lu Jiu'er is scared to death at the moment, the old housekeeper of the Lu Mansion is different from the eldest lady's Ah Da, and only obeys the orders of the head of the family, Lu Ting. Ten lashes are ten lashes, and they will never be soft because of who they are.
And ten years ago, I heard that this old housekeeper listened to Lu Ting's order and killed more than a dozen miscellaneous servants of the Lu Mansion overnight. He is a completely unreasonable executioner!
"You're still laughing!"
Lu Jiu'er glared at Lu Ming, with some tears in her eyes: "If I don't help you, what if your hand is broken?"
Lu Ming shook his head but said, "They alone can't break my hand." But that's fine, and I'm planning to leave......"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiu'er suddenly became anxious, only to see her grab Lu Ming and say, "Then can you wait for me?
"No way!"
The eldest lady on the side was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly walked over, pulled Lu Jiu'er and asked: "Ming'er left is a decision made by the master, there is no way!
Lu Jiu'er, who questioned this, had nothing to say for a while, she looked at Lu Ming, but she didn't get any response.
At this moment, the old housekeeper outside the house came in and bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Miss Jiu'er, please!"
The eldest lady was waiting to plead for mercy, although she knew that it would not work, but it was better than not saying a word, but she was stopped by Lu Ming reaching out.
"Don't worry, Madame, I have a solution. ”
"What can you do? Jiu'er has been afraid of pain since he was a child, and when he was a child, the doctor gave him a silver needle, and it could hurt for a few days. Hey......"
In the end, the eldest lady sighed, as if she also knew that it was useless to intercede. It's just that when he looked at Lu Ming again, he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong to bring him back then.
A mother naturally knows her daughter's thoughts, and Lu Ming also grew up with her hands, and her character naturally knows. In fact, even if the two are together, she will not object.
It's just the old man......
Besides, if his daughter really leaves with him, where can he be willing to give up?
And at this moment...... Lu Jiu'er, who was being tortured, gritted her teeth, and a pair of jade hands pinched to death, preparing for the fall of the whip.
"Smack!"
There was a throbbing, and the eldest lady's tears kept falling.
"Huh!?huh?"
However, Lu Jiu'er, who was about to scream, was puzzled, why didn't she feel anything at all?
"Smack!"
Why don't you feel it? Lu Jiu'er tilted her head.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, she realized that she had suddenly become adamantine, or was the old butler merciful?
Well...... Why don't you come down and treat him to dinner?
"Uncle, have you eaten today?"
After the corners of his mouth twitched, he immediately said, "Miss Jiu'er, don't worry, the old slave will definitely have enough to eat next!"
In fact, at this moment, he was also puzzled, although this whip felt the strength of today, why didn't it even open the flesh?
The ten lashes were soon over, and the old butler was tired and panting.
looked at Lu Jiu'er again, and saw her standing up with Shi Shiran. Then he patted the dust of his skirt, and ran over to comfort the eldest lady.
This scene directly made the old butler, who was half tired to death, almost angry.
