"Who is it?" Lu Qiyan asked.
"The two did not say it clearly, but only said that they were the Marquis' old friends." Manager Su answered truthfully, "The older one is a man who looks very majestic, and the other one has a cloak and hat with a black gauze covering his face. I can't tell the difference between age and appearance, but the old slave looks like a young woman."
"I understand." Lu Qiyan raised his hand, "Let's retreat first."
"Yes." Manager Su knew that he would call the servants responsible for adding tea and pouring water away.
"My wife and Yunji go back and rest for a while first, I'll take a look." Lu Qiyan held Xia Mingyue's palm.
"Be careful, husband." Xia Mingyue reminded.
"Don't worry." Lu Qiyan smiled.
After all, judging from the current situation, he is no longer a fish on the anvil and will not be slaughtered.
On the contrary, some people are unknown as fish.
Seeing that Lu Qiyan smiled relaxed and knew how to be happy, Xia Mingyue also smiled slightly, pulled Xia Yunji back to his yard first, and played Goji together.
Xia Yunji was naturally very happy about playing Gozi chess, especially playing alone with his sister, but Xia Yunji also frowned, "Sister, I always feel that my brother-in-law seems to have something to hide from you."
"Be more confident and you will get rid of your feelings." Xia Mingyue left a son, "Your brother-in-law is indeed hiding something from me."
"Sister know?" Xia Yunji tilted his head, "Why don't my sister ask my brother-in-law clearly?"
"Why do you need to ask clearly?" Xia Mingyue asked back.
"Ask the whole story clearly, so that my sister can face some things with her brother-in-law."
"But even if I don't ask anything, I will stand side by side with your brother-in-law."
When Xia Mingyue said this, her eyebrows raised slightly and the smile at the corners of her eyes was as bright as the sunlight at this time.
Xia Yunji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Sister said it well."
What is needed between husband and wife is this unswerving trust and giving each other enough space so that the couple can get along well and comfortable.
Learned and learned.
I hope that after he gets married to Fan Niangzi, he will be like his sister and brother-in-law, and the piano and stern sound will be harmonious.
A pretty face appeared in Xia Yunji's mind and he smiled.
On this side, Lu Qiyan arrived at the flower hall without hesitation.
Wen Lixin had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Lu Qiyan coming in, he only looked up and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Yu'er is now a marquis, and his behavior is indeed very different from before." >
Is this a sarcastic mockery that he was not as respectful as before when he saw Wen Lixin?
Lu Qiyan smiled and bowed slightly, "Mr. Wen Er is here to come and ask for guilt?"
"I'm indeed here to raise an army to ask for the crime. After seeing my elder brother, I really have to ask carefully and see how my elder brother teaches children all day long. It's so unruly." Wen Lixin snorted coldly.
"Talk about this rule..."
Lu Qiyan said, "Mr. Wen Er is in charge of the principle that he will not be allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, but now Mr. Wen still appears in my marquis's mansion, which does not seem to be in accordance with the rules."
"But it is reasonable that Mr. Wen hurried to the capital when encountering such a thing at this time. However, if Mr. Wen wants to contribute to the Wen family at this time, he should go to find Lord He and even the court. The important minister pleaded with the Wen family, how could he come to my Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion? "
Wen Li's face suddenly became sluggish as he spoke.
He once reminded his elder brother not to raise a tiger as a disaster, and not to give his adopted son too many opportunities, otherwise these unfamiliar ungrateful wolves will eventually become stingy and will not take the Wen family seriously after they gain power.
Now Wen Yu dares to treat him, the second master of the Wen family, so why would he refuse to accept the kindness of the Wen family for so many years?
Wen Lixin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and only looked at the person sitting next to him with a black veil covering his face.
After looking at Wen Lixin, the man next to him took off the hat on his head, revealing his original face.
She is a young woman, in her 28 years old, with a beautiful appearance, and is almost similar to Lu Qiyan's eyebrows and eyes.
"Brother." The woman looked at Lu Qiyan, her voice soft, her brows frowned slightly, and her tone was a little resentful.
Lu Qiyan was stunned for a moment, stared at the woman for a long time before hesitating, "Mingzhu?"
Lu Mingzhu nodded, her eyes were red, her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was choked, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, how are you okay?"
"Everything is good." Lu Qiyan's expression softened, and his eyes were even reluctant to move away from Lu Mingzhu's face. After a long time, he sighed slightly, "Mingzhu has grown much taller."
"Yes." Lu Mingzhu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Brother looks a little different from before, taller and stronger, and more like a father."
After Lu Mingzhu said this, she grinned.
The smile was filled with tears, and there was a sense of stubbornness.
This look can be said to be almost exactly the same as Lu Mingzhu when she was young.
Lu Qiyan's thoughts moved slightly, but his eyes dimmed in an instant. He only asked Lu Mingzhu, "How have you been doing over the years?"
"Mingzhu is all right." Lu Mingzhu wiped the corners of his eyes with a veil, "The eldest lady treats me as her own and takes good care of me. Her sisters are also very friendly to me, and they do not lack food and clothing, and they are even more particular about their clothes. Every day, I go to school with the Wen family girl."
"The teachers in the school are also very kind, but the teachers who taught me embroidery are a little stricter, but the teachers are also trying to learn better, I understand."
"Brother, I have been doing well over the years. The eldest lady often tells me that my brother was trained by the Wen family outside. He has achieved great success now and is even more respected by the emperor. He was named Marquis of Dingyuan. I am happy for my brother and proud of my brother. ! ”
"But my brother is now a marquis and holds great power. He needs to remember the cultivation of the Wen family. He cannot forget the kindness of the Wen family to us brother and sister!"
"Mingzhu knows that the Wen family is now harmed by a traitor and has suffered the unjust injustice of the murder of the prince. People in the world do not know the truth and despise the Wen family. But my brother has been favored by the Wen family for many years and should know the nature of the Wen family. It is definitely not going to do such a thing! " "The brother is the adopted son of the Wen family again. At this time, he should have stood up to defend the Wen family and help the Wen family overcome difficulties. Only in this way can he be worthy of his heart!"
When Lu Mingzhu said this, she was a little excited and couldn't help but cough a few times.
And these few coughs were a little unstoppable, which made Lu Mingzhu's originally fair face suddenly turn red and even a little purple.
Lu Mingzhu couldn't help but put her hands on her neck, and her whole face became ferocious in an instant, looking very painful.
Wen Lixin hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Lu Mingzhu, "It's time for Mingzhu to take medicine."
"Thank you, Master Second." Lu Mingzhu thanked him, hurriedly put the pill into her mouth and swallowed it with tea on the table.
After a while, Lu Mingzhu's breathing was stable and her expression returned to normal.
Lu Qiyan looked at Wen Lixin and frowned, "What medicine does Mingzhu take?"
"Mingzhu had a severe asthma before and it was difficult to breathe when it was severe. My elder brother searched for the prescription of famous doctors to get the prescription for this pill, and spent a lot of money to get the pill, which saved Mingzhu's life."
Wen Lixin said, "If you take one pill when you are sick, it will take effect immediately and it works very well. However, after taking this pill for a long time, it becomes a habit. If Mingzhu does not take this pill on time, she will feel uncomfortable. , even have life worries."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Therefore, this pill needs to be taken on time every day, and the medicinal materials used in this pill are hard to find, only the Wen family can do it."
In other words, if Lu Mingzhu wants to survive, Lu Qiyan, as his elder brother, has to listen obediently to the Wen family.
This is the heaviest bargaining chip held by the Wen family, and it is also the confidence of the Wen family to allow Lu Qiyan, the adopted son, to develop casually outside.
It can be said that the Wen family has never done business that is unsure.
Lu Qiyan was silent for a long time, pulled up the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "Wen family, for so many years, it has really not changed at all."
"Indeed, it's just your ambition." Wen Lixin sneered, "You know, you and Mingzhu were hungry and cold on the way to escape from famine. It was the eldest brother who took in your brother and sister and gave you a bite of food to make you survive .”
"I saw you both civil and military, so I decided to cultivate it carefully, so that you can achieve today's achievements. As Mingzhu said, your current achievements are given by the Wen family, and it is time for you to repay the Wen family. ”
"You should know what you should do."
Wen Lixin glanced at Lu Qiyan, his eyes full of warnings.
Lu Qiyan's face was full of disdainful smile, "At that time, our Lu clan fled south and encountered soldiers who robbed civilians on the way. If what I said was right, those soldiers were even more under Wen Yongze's men."
"The Wen family's usual trick is to use the Wen family's army to pretend to be a militant soldier to do evil, burn, kill, loot, and then come forward to appease and help in the name of the Wen family, to gain a reputation for the Wen family!"
"Wen's army massacred my Lu family at that time, and even my parents died. I tried my best to protect Mingzhu from escaping death, but I could not escape the hypocritical face of the Wen family. I recognized Wen Liyan as my adoptive father and changed my name to Wen Yu became the adopted son of the Wen family. "
"And you, using Mingzhu's life as a bargaining chip, threatened me to do my wholeheartedly for the Wen family. It's a pity that you have done everything, but never thought that I already knew the truth about the massacre of the Lu family. What I did, Never really considered the Wen family.”
"Master Wen Er didn't know that the Zhao family, which was used by An Leiting to provide military supplies to the Western Army, was defeated by me. The reason why An Leiting wanted to join forces with the Cui family was also because I lobbyed. In order to deal with the Wen family together."
"An Leiting fell and the Cui family was implicated by the An family. The reason why this account was taken into account by the Wen family also had a great relationship with me. All I did was just to revenge on the Wen family."
The Wen family, who slaughtered his closest relatives.
Wen Lixin's expression was extremely solemn, and his eyes at Lu Qiyan became sharper, "So, for your selfish desires, you plan to repay your kindness and betray the enemy. At this time, you should not only stand by, but also take the blame?"
"What Master Wen Er said is right." Lu Qiyan said slowly.
"Imitation!" Wen Lixin shouted, "If you don't say anything, just make the matter of Wen Yu, the adopted son of the Wen family, and you will become the target of everyone's scolding. You are the title of Dingyuan Marquis and Deputy of the Western Army. The position of commander in the wing will also be revoked by the emperor, and all your glory will disappear in an instant! ”
"You and the Wen family have already stood on the same boat, and can only advance and retreat together, and have no other choice!"
"Is that true?" Lu Qiyan chuckled softly, glanced at Wen Lixin, and his face was full of mockery, "If the Wen family is not afraid of being pursued by the emperor at this time, you can make the matter of being the adopted son of the Wen family publicly publicly!"
Wen Lixin immediately stopped.
If everyone knows this, then everyone will ask, "Wen's adopted son did not do anything for the Wen family, but was sent to the Western Army. What do you mean?
The Wen family is now suspected of killing the prince. If these are added, I am afraid that the emperor will be too concerned, and the others will even speculate, saying that their Wen family is not in a bad mood.
It can be said that Lu Qiyan is the matter of Wen Yu, the adopted son of the Wen family, and it is the matter of Lu Qiyan who can threaten the Wen family.
The Wen family is now even more afraid of exposure than Lu Qiyan.
And...
Lu Qiyan said that he was once the adopted son of the Wen family. What does this mean? Using the word "Zeng" means that he will no longer be Wen Yu, the adopted son of the Wen family, but Lu Qiyan has always been?
Wen Lixin looked at Lu Qiyan again and there was a lot of scrutiny in his eyes, and Lu Mingzhu, who was beside him, also persuaded him with great pains, "Brother, don't be an ungrateful person, and don't be provoked by those with ulterior motives and leave the Wen family. Heartbroken! ”
"Even if my brother doesn't care about the kindness of the Wen family to us brother and sister over the years, he should at least think about Mingzhu's life."
"Mingzhu now has only his relative, and only his family member, Mingzhu, and Mingzhu, his life is given by the Wen family. Now it is in the hands of the Wen family. Brother needs to think twice..." >
"Or, my brother doesn't care about Mingzhu's life or death at all?"
When Lu Mingzhu said this, she was tearful and slowly walked to Lu Qiyan's side and handed the thing she was holding tightly in her hand to Lu Qiyan's side.
It was a mud call, the look of a magpie. Because of the age of time, the mud call had been rubbed with great light, and even the magpie's tail was used to blow, there were some cracks.
This mud call was bought for Lu Mingzhu when she was young. Lu Qiyan went out. Lu Mingzhu liked it very much and had to carry it with her all day. Even when she was fleeing famine, she kept it in her arms and never left her for a moment.
When Lu Qiyan saw the mud call, his lips pursed slightly, and reached out to pick up the mud call, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Seeing this, Lu Mingzhu took the opportunity to say sadly, "Mingzhu knows that her brother's temperament has always been a perfect match. If her brother has decided, then her brother can follow her heart. There is no need to worry about Mingzhu."
"But no matter what the future holds, don't forget that you have a sister..." (The end of this chapter)
