Chapter 2 Lovely People
On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the year of Wuxu, everything is not appropriate.
In Luoyang Lu Mansion, it is also unusually deserted.
Even Liu Yan, the concubine of Lu Bochuan who talked the most in the past, frowned and frowned as if she had eaten Coptis chinensis today, and she was confined bitterly.
But no matter who it is, the wrinkles on his face are not more than half of those outside the Lu Yuan.
He was originally a slender man with a ruddy complexion, and even though he was close to his ears, his body was very tough.
If you know him, you will never believe that the thin old man in front of you, with thinning hair and a haggard face, is the richest man in Luoyang and the former first heroic man in Hanzhong, Lu Bochuan.
At this moment, he is like an ant on a hot pot, restless. There were only a few cronies in front of him, most of whom were pondering.
"Otherwise, let's fight ......" Zhao Yi, the chief dart head of the Shenwei Dart Bureau, "Hebei Gun King", was the first to speak, staring at everyone with big eyes.
"No...... It's all about hitting the stone with an egg, or it's better to think in the long run. As soon as Zhao Yi finished speaking, he was opposed by Li Qiye.
"Think about it in the long run...... It's also a hammer, that Ha Ma Zi turtle grandson is fine. Tang Kun, the second young master of the Tang Sect who came from Shuzhong, scolded, "Brother Lu, as long as you can trust us, I will call dozens of secret weapon masters to ambush that turtle grandson in the courtyard, and he will definitely come and go." ”
"No," Zhao Yi retorted, "We are decent, how can we do such a shameless thing." After speaking, he stood up and glared angrily at Tang Kun.
Tang Kun was just about to scold, but Lu Yuanwai, who had not opened Chrysostom for a long time, spoke, "Everyone be quiet." ”
When a group of people saw that Lu Yuan was speaking, they all fell silent.
"Where's Qing'er?" he asked the maid next to him.
"Back to the master, the young lady is changing her clothes, as if she is going out. The maid replied.
Everyone's faces showed displeasure, and Li Qiye asked with a gloomy expression, "I don't know where Miss Qing'er wants to go at the moment of the great enemy?"
"The slave doesn't know this. She fell to her knees in fright.
"I really don't know, if you tell half a lie, I'll ......" Tang Kun was just about to finish speaking, but Lu Yuanwai forcibly inserted it, "Brother Tang, don't be angry, Bi'er has been following the old man for eight or nine years, and she has never lied to the old man in eight years." Fortunately, thanks to her, the old man was able to spend his old age in peace and not be exhausted. Bi'er, you go down first and call Zhongtian. Qing'er's words, let her go, I believe her. ”
"Yes. She hurriedly saluted and withdrew.
"This ......" everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Alas...... Some debts will have to be repaid sooner or later. Lu Bochuan sighed, his eyes glowing with a cloudy light, "After all...... Back then, we were at fault first, and others came back to take revenge, and we couldn't complain. ”
Everyone listened quietly, and the sun outside the window was getting lower and lower......
"Little Er, serve the wine. ”
A woman dressed in white with a beautiful face walked into the inn and shouted into the empty lobby.
"Coming, guest officer, how many of them, the shop has good wine!" Although the little guy who ran the hall did not appear, the voice came to greet her.
After a while, he came out of the backyard and said, "The guest has been waiting for a long time...... Eh, it turned out to be Miss Lu...... The little ones are damned, they're sluggish, the little ones really deserve ......"
"Okay, okay, according to yesterday's, bring me two jars of thirty-year-old bamboo leaves. The woman in white sat down at the innermost table and said.
"Okay! The runner wanted to turn around, but was stopped again.
"By the way, the guy from yesterday...... Have you ever been?" she asked softly.
"Yesterday...... You were here yesterday?" asked the little guy, touching his greasy head.
The woman in white secretly said, "Lu Yuqing, you are really stupid...... Yesterday, it was a woman dressed as a man. ”
"Oh, no, no, I forgot. She smiled and said to the runner. When the little guy saw that Miss Lu Yuqing was actually smiling at herself, she couldn't help but crack the corners of her mouth and said, "That little one is going to prepare wine for you." ”
"Eh......" Lu Yuqing sighed, her big watery eyes staring straight at the door.
She was in a state of sorrow right now.
What's going on, why is everyone so scared these days? The eldest brother, who has always loved her, has been running around outside these days, looking for martial arts masters to come home. Even last night, she pretended to be herself to talk to her underworld friends who usually don't interact much, and she wanted to invite them home, but she didn't expect them to leave. Although her eldest brother did not reproach her, she also found that her eldest brother was very anxious. Not only her eldest brother, but even her father, who has always been smiling, has been smiling at her very reluctantly these days.
And the weirdo from last night. It's strange, it's the first time I've seen him, but why do I trust him so much, and risk being blamed by my family at such a juncture? What if he can't solve it?
Just when her intestines were about to become twisted, a familiar voice came: "Eh, don't grab it...... Forget it, it's up to you. ”
I saw a gray fat cat rushing into the inn with half a roast chicken in its mouth, skillfully bypassing the tables and chairs, and running into the backyard.
"Jiang Gongzi, the little woman has been waiting here for a long time. Lu Yuqing looked at Jiang Yuebai, who was full of gray face and was walking into the inn, and said. Seeing his current appearance, the sorrow just now seemed to have vanished, and she couldn't help laughing, "I don't know what's wrong with Gongzi Jiang?"
"Eh, don't mention it. Jiang Yuebai touched the ash on his face and said, "I heard that the Kuiyuan Pavilion in Luoyang City has the best craftsmanship in the world. I finally opened the door and got half a roast chicken out of the kitchen, but I didn't expect to meet the cat brother, and instead of fighting him, I was teased by him......"
Lu Yuqing listened quietly, she has never been a talkative person.
"The wine is here, Miss Lu has been waiting for a long time. The little servant came over with a jar of wine, and after setting up the bowls, he poured two large bowls full of them, and said, "Please, two of you!"
"It's so slow...... Lu Yuqing said, "Forget it, let's go down." ”
"Wait," Jiang Yuebai stopped the little guy and said, "Find out the cat inside for me." ”
Looking at the back of the little guy leaving, Jiang Yuebai said to Lu Yuqing, "Okay, you can tell me what's going on." ”
"This ...... I ......" Lu Yuqing was very anxious, but she didn't know what to say or how to say it.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?"
"My name is Lu Yuqing, and my father is Lu Bochuan Lu Yuanwai in Luoyang City. ”
"I don't know when it happened in Luoyang City, and it was so deserted?"
"I don't know much about this...... Lu Yuqing said, "Since half a month ago, all the lotus flowers in Luoyang City were cut off overnight, and the whole city has been panicked, even my father and eldest brother have ...... Especially these days......"
As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears. After all, she is just a weak woman, and the emotions that have accumulated for more than half a month suddenly burst out.
If Jiang Yuebai also had a headache, then the woman's tears must be one of them.
He was afraid of women crying. Because he is not a cold-blooded person.
This is his strength and his weakness.
He also suffered a lot because of this, but he did not complain.
He is such a person, sometimes others will even think he is a fool, but he still does not change his original intention.
As long as he has done something, he will never regret it.
You may not like him, but you will never hate him because he is a very sweet person.
A truly lovely person.
