Fenghou

Behind him were sisters Yu Lian and Yu Ying, both wearing yellow dresses and veiled hats, following behind Chen Qing like two ducklings.

Chen Qing stepped forward, cupped his fists and laughed, "You are Brother Lu, right?"

Lu Wei was the same age as Chen Qing. He worked as a guard in the palace. He was neither literate nor martial, with average abilities, but he was a good person and understood things very well.

Lu Wei smiled back and said, "I've heard of General Chen's name for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

Lu Xiu glared at her elder brother, "What do you mean by being so young? Could it be that a man in his 40s would like it?"

Lu Xiu's eyes fell on the two little ladies, and she said with a smile: "Sanlang, are these the two little maids you mentioned?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Qing turned his head and said to the two sisters: "You get in the car and meet Miss Lu, and the other one is Miss Li."

The two little ladies got into the carriage obediently and took off their veiled hats. Lu Xiu and Li Meier were both stunned, they turned out to be two little ladies who looked exactly alike.

The two young ladies were very discerning, and they could immediately tell who was their future mistress. It must be the youngest and most beautiful one. Only her temperament was worthy of the young master, and the other one was far behind.

They saluted Wanfuli together, "Little servant girl greets Miss Lu, and Miss Li!"

Lu Xiu immediately fell in love with these two extremely well-behaved ladies, Li Mei was also amazed, it was the first time she had seen such a couple.

Lu Xiu sat down holding the hands of the two, and asked with a smile: "You two, what are your names, who is the older sister, and who is the younger sister?"

……

There was constant laughter in the carriage, and Chen Qing and Lu Wei walked side by side. Lu Wei smiled and said, "Li Mei is actually my aunt's cousin and also my fiancee. She is currently living in our house. It stands to reason that after the engagement is exchanged, the man and woman Usually we can't meet each other, but it's not absolute, we grew up together, and she has no place to go in Lin'an, so it's normal to see her often."

"Where is the second brother?"

"Being a bodyguard in the palace, next year, let's see if there is a chance to release a military officer outside."

"What do external releases usually do?"

"If you're lucky, you can be the deputy envoy of the regiment in the state, that is, the head of the prison. If you are not lucky, you will go to the county to be the head of the archer and be responsible for catching thieves. The status is relatively low. It depends. luck!"

It's not about luck, it's about the backstage. With Lu Yihao's identity, how could his grandson catch the thief?No matter how bad it is, one state can join the military.

The third bridge is very close to the Fengyu Gate. At this time, the city wall of Lin'an near the West Lake has been demolished, and many official houses have been built on the vacated land, leaving only a few city gates. Outside the Fengyu Gate is the tall and majestic Fengle Building, and more than a hundred steps forward is the West Lake.

After more than a year, Chen Qing felt that the appearance of the West Lake had completely changed. The original open space was gone, and various shops were built, mostly restaurants and teahouses.

They looked for a place to stop the carriage, and Lu Xiu and Li Mei also put on their veiled hats and got out of the carriage. There were still about [-] steps away from the pier, so they simply walked over.

Lu Wei and Li Mei walked in the front, they grew up together, childhood sweethearts, although they are unmarried couples, but they don't avoid suspicion, they still walk like before, Li Mei follows her husband like a bird.

Chen Qing and Lu Xiu walked behind, and they walked slowly side by side. Two young ladies in veiled hats followed behind them, each holding a bunch of candied haws, looking around while eating.

"Thank you for the shoes you bought me. They are very comfortable and not as uncomfortable as wearing leather boots."

Lu Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I took you 50 taels of silver, of course I have to show something, I'm worried that my judgment is wrong and the shoes don't fit my feet."

"Your judgment is very accurate, the size fits perfectly."

"Why don't I buy you another set of clothes today!"

Chen Qing scratched his head, "There is no shortage of clothes!"

"Do you want it or not?" Lu Xiujiao insisted.

"Okay! New clothes to wear, I wish for it!"

The two walked all the way, Chen Qing looked at the West Lake again and said, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come out today."

"why?"

"My gut feeling is that your grandfather might not allow you to come out and play with me."

"That's your worry. Grandpa admires you very much."

"Appreciation is appreciation, but you may not want me to be his grandson-in-law!"

Lu Xiu rolled his eyes at him shyly, "If you want to be my husband-in-law, you have to go through my test!"

"Could it be that I haven't broken through your level yet?"

"You are still far behind! Unless I write ten more poems similar to "Pozhenzi", this girl will consider whether to open the city gate and let Chen bandits enter?"

"This is very difficult! You know that I can fight wars, but I have to find inspiration to write poems. I actually wrote "Broken Time" a long time ago."

"Let me tell you! You have become Cao Zijian's seven-step poem when you write lyrics. This girl can't even do it, but you are honest and have a good character. This girl will consider it as appropriate."

The two talked about love all the way, forgetting about the two little girls behind, Yu Ying complained a bit: "Hands are sticky, there is no place to wash their hands."

But Yu Lian kept turning her head to look at something, she hesitated and shouted: "My lord!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Qing turned around.

Yu Lian pointed behind her, "I saw a few people who seemed to be following us secretly."

Chen Qing looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, dozens of steps away, there were a few men in black hiding behind a tree, looking over here secretly.

"Sanlang, who are they?" Lu Xiu also saw it.

"I don't know, I'll ask Yan Jun to investigate later."

"Hurry up, you guys, the pier is ahead." Lu Wei waved loudly in front of him.

"coming!"

Chen Qing agreed, and lightly tugged on Lu Xiu's arm, "Let's get on the boat first!"

Chapter 269 Intensified

On the high platform of Fengle Building, Shen Gai leaned on the railing and looked at Chen Qing and Lu Xiu who were walking side by side from a distance. He was trembling with anger, and his heart was full of shame and anger. Lu Yihao clearly promised to give his granddaughter to him. Why is Lu Xiu still with Chen Qing?Who did he consider himself to be?

Shen Gai's face was livid, he snorted heavily, turned around and left quickly.

At the pier, everyone boarded the boat. Yan Jun had booked a high-end cruise ship in advance, which was actually a painting boat. The boatman and the boatman were punting behind the boat. Two beautiful maids served tea and water. It was a very luxurious and very luxurious boat. Quiet, yet warm and cozy.

Chen Qing sat on a large armchair, staring at the lake outside the window. He had been here 900 years later, and sat in a boat like this, except that there were no women, only a group of happy military students.

The lake water is still so clear, and the surrounding green hills still maintain their old appearance, but there is a gentle and bright woman on the opposite side. She put on light makeup, adding a touch of charm to her natural beauty. Her every frown and smile, every All the actions entered Chen Qing's heart.

Lu Xiu filled Chen Qing's teacup with green tea with a slender white jade portable pot, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "This tea is good, and the water is also good. Saburo will have a taste."

Chen Qing took a sip of the teacup, nodded and said: "The water in the south of the Yangtze River is really good, it is very soft, very soft, and the entrance is smooth, unlike the water in the northwest, which always has a hint of bitterness, and strong tea must be brewed to cover up the bitterness .”

"Are mountain springs also bitter?" Lu Xiu asked with a smile.

"The well water is bitter, but the mountain springs are good, especially in Heilu Mountain in Qingshui County. There is a very high-quality mountain spring called Heilu Spring. During the Xuanhe period, a large number of literati and monks were attracted to build wooden houses there. To drink that sweet mountain spring water."

"Sometime, I also want to taste the Black Deer Spring you mentioned." There was a hint of shyness in Lu Xiu's eyes.

Chen Qing held her jade hand, "You can come with me anytime!"

Lu Xiu lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Then quickly ask a matchmaker to come to your door."

"Okay! Tomorrow I will visit Zhang Xianggong and ask him to come and be a matchmaker!"

At this time, Lu Xiu suddenly felt something, and when she turned her head, she found that her brother was standing by her desk, so she quickly withdrew her hand in fright.

Lu Wei was not in the mood to make fun of his sister, he said nervously: "Father is here, let's go back immediately."

Chen Qing looked back, only to see a small boat approaching the painting boat at some point, and there were two servants on it, who should be the people from Lu's mansion who came to report the news.

"What's going on, didn't daddy let me out to play?"

"I don't know too well. The servant said that the grandfather rushed back and was furious in the mansion."

Lu Xiu looked at Chen Qing uneasily, and Chen Qing said with a smile: "Don't let father worry, let's go back!"

"Saburo, I'm really sorry."

"Don't be sorry, I will visit Zhang Xianggong tonight and ask him to be a matchmaker!"

Lu Xiu quickly glanced at her elder brother and nodded slightly.

Lu Wei secretly sighed in his heart, his father came to take his sister back at this time, obviously his grandfather had a problem with Chen Qing, this marriage would not be so smooth.

"I'm going to tell the boatman to turn around!"

Lu Wei walked away quickly.

Chen Qing calmly said to Lu Xiu: "Your grandfather may let you choose!"

"Choose what?"

"Shen Family!"

"No way! He still doesn't give up?"

Lu Xiu suddenly thought of the men in black who had secretly followed them before, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"Despicable and shameless!"

Lu Xiu made up her mind at this moment, she took the initiative to hold Chen Qing's hand, and stared deeply at Chen Qing's eyes with her beautiful eyes.

"No matter how intimidating my grandfather is, I will never betray Saburo!"

……

Lu Jin looked at the boat slowly approaching the shore with complicated eyes, and he was also sad in his heart. His father slapped himself in a rage, which made his inner affection full of sadness, and he couldn't give his daughter happiness.

"The ship is docking!" The steward next to him reminded him in a low voice.

Lu Jin nodded and walked up quickly.

Chen Qing was the first to disembark, and Lu Jin said apologetically, "There is a sudden emergency at home, and I have to send my daughter back home. Please forgive me, General Chen!"

"Uncle is serious. There will be more opportunities to play in the future. We should still focus on family affairs."

"Thank you General for understanding!"

Lu Xiu got off the boat, "Daddy!" She stepped forward quickly.

Lu Jin sighed, "Don't say anything, just go back with me!"

Lu Xiu turned her head and glanced at Chen Qing, Chen Qing nodded to her, Lu Xiu boarded the carriage, and dozens of members of the Lu family surrounded the two carriages and went away.

At this time, Yan Jun stepped forward and whispered to Chen Qing: "The five stalkers in black have been caught, they are warriors from a martial arts gym, they were hired by someone to monitor and follow Miss Lu, there is something strange about it! "

"What's so strange?"

"The person who hired them said that if they find out that Miss Lu is looking for Zhizhi, they should immediately pass the news to Shen Gai."

"It means that they are not the ones Shen should hire?"

"It shouldn't be. What's even more strange is that they have two groups of people, and the other group is watching us."

Chen Qing also felt a little strange, he pondered for a while and asked and answered: "Do you think you can find out who is behind the scenes?"

"Xiaozhi thinks it can be found. There is an important clue in it. According to them, the person behind the scenes is also one of the proprietors of the martial arts hall."

"Go and check! Be careful."

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Yan Jun took several brothers away, and Chen Qing had an intuition in his heart that the people behind the scenes were not helping Shen Gai, but targeting himself.

……

When Lu Xiu returned to the mansion, she got off the carriage, but saw her grandfather with a gloomy face. At this moment, she suddenly felt that his grandfather was so strange that she couldn't connect the old man in front of her with her beloved grandfather.

"Why did grandfather regret the marriage?" Lu Xiu asked her grandfather angrily.

Lu Yihao gave the eldest son a hard look, and repeatedly asked him not to tell Xiu'er, but he still did.

Lu Jin said calmly: "Anyway, Xiu'er will know sooner or later, why not tell her earlier so that she can be prepared."

Lu Yihao said coldly to Lu Xiu: "There is no reason? I think the Shen family is a famous family, which is more suitable for you. I don't want my grandson-in-law to be a general!"

"Grandfather clearly agreed to the marriage between granddaughter and Chen Qing. So many people know about it, but now he suddenly regrets the marriage. What will the court think of grandfather, and where will the granddaughter face?"

"What is regretting a marriage? There is no matchmaker's words, no engagement, no marriage. How can there be regrets? This is a choice, understand? The old man did not choose Chen Qing, but the Shen family. Do you understand? Understand?"

Lu Xiu shook her head, "I will not marry the Shen family, absolutely not, if you insist on going your own way, just wait to bring shame on yourself!"

"Presumptuous! How dare you speak to your grandfather like that?"

"If you want me to respect you, please respect yourself first. If you don't keep your word, how can your granddaughter respect you?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiu burst into tears and ran towards the backyard. Lu Yihao said with a livid face, "From now until she gets married, she is not allowed to go downstairs. Whoever dares to help her is my Lu Yihao's enemy! "
