When the cups and bowls were on the table, Nanny Li couldn't bear Xu Xu's persuasion, "Young Master, don't go out so recklessly next time. I heard from the master that it's not peaceful outside now. It's good to come back safely this time. But what will happen next time is really uncertain."

If it were someone else, Lu Chi probably wouldn't listen to such nagging, but Nanny Li raised him up and left her son to serve him. As an outsider, she really has some feelings. Compared with him, he can't let go of his temper. too out.

Fortunately, Zaomu knew his temper, seeing in his eyes that although Lu Chi still had a smile on his face, he stopped eating, so his heart jumped, and he quickly lifted his chopsticks to pick up a piece of braised pork for his mother Meat, "Mother, you eat this, Yuan Baojuli's craftsmanship is not something to talk about."

Nanny Li looked at Zaomu with a cold face, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she ate the meat without saying a word.

After a meal, the gas is gone.

"Remember to come back at night, otherwise your father will personally come tomorrow and beg the young master to take you back. I don't know what is good or bad. The family has been waiting for you to cook good food for a few days, and no ghost will come back!"

Nanny Li stood behind the threshold, looked at Zaomu and scolded.

Zaomu nodded again and again, "I will definitely go today, mother remembers to heat up the dishes."

Nanny Li responded crisply, turned her head and left.

Lu Chi stood at the door of the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's easy when you go out, but you have to deal with a lot when you come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone who responded to his words came outside, it was Fang Jin from Chunxi Garden.

She bowed her knees and said with a smile, "Master, there is a wine and dinner at the ancestor's place tonight, please come over."

Ming Liu asked with a smile, "Sister Fang Jin, who else is going?"

Fang Jin also answered, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, and Eldest Miss are all going," she followed to look at Lu Chi, her tone light and joking, "If Eldest Young Master doesn't show favor, I'm afraid the other masters will. Sad to death."

Lu Chi looked over condescendingly, with a smile that was not a smile, "You are eloquent, so go back. Since it's about drinking, I will naturally go."

Fang Jin bowed her knees heavily again, agreed and turned back.

Having nothing to do at noon, Lu Chi was lying on the soft couch, originally a person who would sleep with his eyes closed, but now he was thinking that Chu Yu would never be able to fall asleep.

Did he mean it when he said he was coming to pick him up?Lu Chi thought to himself, if it wasn't serious, then he would have to kill him, but if it was serious, what kind of danger would it be if he entered Beijing again with his current status?

Lu Chi felt melancholy and distressed, tossing and turning on the soft couch like spreading pancakes.

In the outer room, Ming Liu and Ming Lan were doing needlework, and they were talking softly.

"I heard that Wangyou in the ancestor's yard is getting married, but is it true?" It was Ming Liu who asked.

Ming Lan replied, "It's true, the ancestor personally pointed out that you have seen Steward Wang's son before you think about it."

"Oh, Wang Chang?" Ming Liu was very surprised, and then clicked his tongue twice, "Wang Chang looks handsome, and treats people well, Wangyou is usually arrogant, I don't want to have good luck at this time, and life will not be easy in the future? "

"The old ancestor has a face beside him, how bad can it be?"

Ming Liu stretched his head and took a look inside, then said, "How many people can't ask us here."

Ming Lan smiled and said, "That's not it." She paused, looked at Ming Liu, and pointed, "Zao Mu's family is not worse than Wang Chang's at all, and his appearance is not inferior. People are watching."

Ming Liu blushed, thinking that Ming Lan was talking about her, she quickly declined, "Tch, is he that idiot?"

Just as he was saying this, Lu Chi from inside suddenly interjected, "Will you stay with him?"

Minglan and Mingliu didn't expect that Lu Chi was stunned when he listened, and then Minglan laughed out loud, patted Mingliu on the back and said, "Mingliu, the young master has already spoken, you won't be able to get away with your stupid reputation." gone."

Lu Chi also chuckled inside, which could be faintly heard outside.

Minglan continued, "Don't tell me that Zaomu is not a fake in people's eyes, just the Ruyi in the madam's yard, and the one who gave Zaomu the insole in front, I don't know the young master and they left, and they came here for a while." Come on, I don’t know what to give Zaomu.”

Ming Liu snorted, "What are you doing to me?"

That's what I said, but I felt very uncomfortable scratching my heart and cheeks.

Minglan glanced at her, pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zao Mu was leisurely, turned to the door of the room, probed in and asked softly, "Is the young master asleep?"

When Ming Liu saw him, he turned around to find an insole in his basket, and threw it on Zao Mu, "Go away, go away, you don't have to be annoying!"

Zaomu was confused by her fiercely, but he didn't dare to provoke her, he quickly picked up the insole and stuffed it into his skirt, then turned his head and ran away.

Ming Liu looked at his back, clenched his hands tightly, angry, so angry!

Lu Chi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply sat up.He pushed open the window and looked at the sky outside. The clouds were all blue, and he thought in his heart that he didn't know what Qin would look like at this time.

In Qin Palace.

Chu Yu sat on the bed in her bedroom, holding the quilt that Lu Chi had covered with her hand, then buried her head in, and took a deep breath.

Achi's smell still lingers on it, and it will dissipate in a few days.

Chu Yu sat in silence for a long time, and none of the palace staff dared to disturb him, and even put aside the cleaning that was usually done.

I don't know what Ah Chi will be like now, but counting the time, he has already arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chu Yu's thoughts were spinning wildly, thinking of Lu Chi's clinging to him like a snake, or the appearance of cursing on his mouth with red eyes, every gesture of his hands and feet was very cute in retrospect.

In his arms was the small wooden box that Lu Chi had left for him. Chu Yu didn't know what was in it, but what Lu Chi said was quite mysterious.

Chu Yu thought for a moment, unlocked the box, and slowly opened the lid.

Inside is a stack of papers?He reached out and took out the stack of thick paper, turned it over, and his face immediately turned dark with warmth.

Chu Yu tightly held the stack of papers, flipping through them one by one, with a smile gradually appearing on her face, that little thing really didn't know what to do, was it Ah Chi's own handwriting or who?Not to mention that the person in this painting is still his own appearance, and no one would dare to do so if he risked his life.

Chu Yu calmed down, read the above content carefully again, and memorized all the movements and postures in it.

The mood that was eager to bring the person back was even more anxious at this moment.

And the situation in the Jin Palace is not relaxing.

"How is Zhou Di and Wei Di at this time?" The emperor sat on the upper seat, leaning forward, staring at Zhao Fengnian anxiously.

Zhao Fengnian raised his hand, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is generally stable, and it is not difficult to strangle occasionally by counter-soldiers."

Although the truth was told, the emperor did not feel comforted when he heard it.From the very beginning, he felt that Chu Qing's beheading of King Zhou and King Wei was too brutal and reckless, but now this anxiety has turned into full worry.

"Qin Di hasn't calmed down yet, if something happened to Zhou Di and Wei Di, how can we resist?"

Chu Qing stood aside and frowned almost invisible, he was already very impatient with the emperor's timidity and contentment with mediocrity.He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Father, don't worry, the servants will take care of themselves. The people of Wei and Zhou are used to having fun, and now they go all the way in, except for a few resistances, the rest are silent. Those who do not rebel will not be killed, and they can still live as before, and the rest of the people will not have the idea of ​​defense."

The emperor waved his hand, "Are you still lacking something, such matters should be left to the Prime Minister and General Zhao."

Hearing this, Lu Yi raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the second prince said is true."

Zhao Fengnian also took a step forward, and said the same words to Lu Yi.

The two of them both knew that the emperor was already an empty shelf for most of the imperial power, and he was very clear about who he was facing.

The emperor was very annoyed by what he told them, and he got up and said with a flick of his sleeves, "It's quite new! What I said is no longer useful?"

Lu Yi, Zhao Fengnian and Chu Qing all lowered their heads and said in a low voice that they dare not.

The emperor ignored it and just walked away.

There were three people left in the imperial study room. Chu Qing asked in a deep voice with his hands behind his back, "I don't know what Master Lu thinks about the situation in Qin at this time?"

It was not the first day that he had been on guard against Lu Yi regarding the matter of the land of Qin.

Lu Yi's reaction was normal, he just cupped his hands and said, "Qin has only two choices at this time, one is to send troops to quell the chaos, and the other is to hold back."

He said and looked up at Chu Qing, "There are four kinds of consequences. After sending out troops, take back the land of Qin and kill the king of Qin to avoid future troubles; the army is defeated and the country is destroyed; ; After holding back, the land of Qin grows stronger day by day, which is tantamount to raising a tiger."

"It's really difficult at this time." Zhao Fengnian stepped forward and followed, which also meant the same as Lu Yi, "I think that if you hold back, you will be elected at this time. Our country is richer than Qin, and we have taken back Zhou and Wei. If you keep your energy up and store up your strength for three to five years, you will definitely be able to surpass the land of Qin, and you will not be able to send troops when you are down."

Lu Yi nodded, "I don't know what your Highness thinks?"

Of course, the Chu Qing they were talking about had clearly considered it. He only wanted to see one of the four choices Lu Yi mentioned.However, marching and fighting are the most dangerous. If you are not [-]% sure, how dare you provoke a war easily?

Chu Qing clenched his hands tightly behind his back into fists, and was in a dilemma for a while.

Lu Yi lowered his eyes, with a calm expression on his face.

He took everything into consideration, because he had a big family behind him, so he didn't dare to make half a step wrong.It's just that no matter how calculating Lu Yi is, he can't calculate the relationship between King Qin and his precious son at this time. There are fewer variables, and he doesn't know how it will affect the result.

As the time turned to night, Chunxi Garden was very lively.

The old ancestors took out the old wine that had been hidden for many years, warmed it for a long time, and finally waited for Lu Chi, who came late.

Sitting beside the ancestor, Lu Fu looked at Lu Chi who was taking off Ming Liu's cloak, and muttered, "Brother really deserves the name 'Chi'."

The old ancestor shoved her, "The little girl is always good at talking, so I can eat a few more mouthfuls later."

Lu Fu took the old ancestor's hand with a smile, "Grandma has spoken, so naturally I won't be polite."

Lu Chi cast a sideways glance at Lu Fu, "I answered my name, didn't you answer my name? Look at what you're wearing, the big hibiscus flowers on this dress, don't tell me you want to pretend to be an old man?" ten years old?"

Lu Fu choked when she told him, angrily wronged, "Grandmother, look at him, his words are too irritating."

Lu Chi sat next to Lu Ping and Lu Xiu, stopped them and said a few words with a low smile.

The old ancestor stroked Lu Fu's hand, "You child, don't make your brother unhappy, help me down, let's open the table to eat."

Lu Ping was very happy when he saw Youjiu, "I drank some good wine in my elder brother's yard last time, and the mellow taste will never be forgotten for a long time."

Fang Jin stood aside and filled everyone's glasses with wine.

Lu Chi raised his glass and took a sip, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "This wine is better than the one in my yard. Grandma kept such good things privately, so she didn't bring it out for me to taste earlier."

Lu Fu was alone in front of an empty wine glass, very anxious, "I want to drink some too."

The old ancestor glanced at her, "What are you doing, you are a girl, what kind of wine do you eat?"

Lu Fu tilted her body angrily, pouted and stopped talking.

Lu Chi wanted to tease her, so he took the chopsticks in front of him and dipped them in the wine glass, then handed it to Lu Fu, "Here, let me try it."

Lu Fu looked back at him shyly, then opened his lips to meet him, and sipped the little drink.

"It tastes so weird!" She smacked her lips and frowned, "I don't want to eat any more."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere of the banquet, the ancestor thought about it and mentioned to Lu Chi what he had in mind.

"Grandma said something, Ah Chimo will be angry,"

Lu Chi heard the words and looked at the old ancestor, "What's the matter?"

The children looked at the old ancestor together, and the old ancestor took Lu Chi's hand and patted it, saying, "Grandmother is persecuting things a little bit more tightly, and I can't force things you don't want, and grandma won't do anything later." That's it, it's just that marriage matters still have to be put on the agenda, if there is something you like in the future, don't take it to heart if you see it, in our family, who do you want we can't marry back?"

The old ancestor boasted to Haikou, full of feeling that he was not talking empty words.

She stared at Lu Chi's expression closely, afraid that he would be annoyed, but she didn't want Lu Chi to smile, and said in an ordinary tone, "Grandmother, don't worry, I have already made plans. This trip to Qindi, I really like it." one person."

The old ancestor was both surprised and delighted, "Qin Di?" She thought for a while, "Qin Di is a bit difficult to handle at this time, but it's not impossible, please tell me which family the girl is from first? I vaguely remember that there are still one or two aristocratic families in Qin land who can barely get in."

The position is lower, if it is not for the Zanying family, it can barely have it, as long as it is not a regular wife, it is rare for Ah Chi to speak, and he must not be disappointed and return, the old ancestor thought so.

And Lu Chi had two glasses of wine, although his head was dazed, he knew it was hard to tell Chu Yu directly, so he just smiled vaguely, "He is a very appropriate person, he treats me very well, and I like him very much, "He blushed when he thought of Chu Yu's little face.

Lu Fu saw it and joked, "Oh, my brother really likes it, right? Your face is blushing."

Lu Xiu was a little tongue-tied while eating wine, "Xing, maybe it's wine, red food."

Hearing this, the old ancestor felt a little worried, fearing that Lu Chi fell in love with a low-status woman, so she inevitably brought out the rules of the older generation and said to Lu Chi, "The most important thing about marriage is The right family, such as your father and your mother, is a good marriage, look at how happy the two of them are living now?"

Lu Chi looked at his ancestor in confusion, not knowing what she meant by saying this.

The old ancestor continued, "Tell me about the identity of the girl you are looking for. If the identity cannot be suppressed, grandma will tell you first. Wife is not easy for everyone. If you like it, Marry back and be a concubine."

Lu Chi frowned, "What are you talking about? I haven't said anything yet. You've said everything."

He thought about it and didn't like pointing out what people could and couldn't do, and felt that his ancestors were really pedantic, so he said directly, "I just picked up a little girl on the side of the road. I wanted to marry a wife, so I married her." , What can others say? Not to mention, the person I fancy now, I am afraid that our family is going to marry, and he is almost there!"

Ayu is good at fighting, and treats people carefully and appropriately, not to mention between the beds... Lu Chi thought of Chu Yu, and the displeasure on his face turned into a smile.

Seeing him like this, the old ancestor was afraid that he would be dazzled, so he quickly stopped him, "Whose family is that from? If she is really so good, I must know her."

Lu Chi came back to his senses, suppressed the smile on his face, and nodded, "You do know him, but it's just that the time has not come yet, and you will naturally know him when you see him. Next time we meet, let him know him." I offer you tea."

Lu Chi said yes, but made the ancestor even more confused. The younger brothers and sisters also looked at Lu Chi with confusion.

"I've almost had enough of this wine," Lu Chi got up, and said in a gentle tone, looking at his ancestor, "I'll come back tomorrow to greet you."

The old ancestor nodded, "Hey, you," she said intentionally, but Lu Chi didn't want to listen to her rambling, and turned his head to leave.

Ming Liu took the cloak and chased after him, and heard the old ancestor behind him say, "Put it on quickly, don't freeze!"

Who is the daughter-in-law who suddenly appeared?From then on, the ancestors had something to worry about again.
