Chapter 166 Great excitement
Shitou had a mission today. He was going to the city to pick up orders from Dajun and the He family. He set off the firecrackers and drove away in the ox cart.
The women were washing vegetables and cooking, while the men had nothing to do after setting up the tables, chairs and benches. They started to visit the new house in twos and threes.
Lu Chengjing's task today is to accompany the guests.
Most of his clothes were white and light in color. Thinking of today's housewarming, he rummaged through his clothes and finally found a pale purple robe from the bottom of the box.
Purple is a noble color, and when worn on Lu Chengjing, it makes him even more elegant.
In Shang Wan's words, at first glance, it seems that he is not on the same level as the others.
To suit the occasion, she also wore a crimson dress today.
She has a snow-skinned face and a graceful figure. As she moves around, the silver embroidered patterns on her skirt bloom like flowers, which is so beautiful.
The long hair that is usually tied up casually is wrapped on the head by Xiao Huan's skillful hands, and two red jade hairpins are inserted diagonally, which is the pattern of Begonia, which complements this dress perfectly.
Lu Chengjing bought the hosta when he went to the city a few days ago. He fell in love with it at first sight in the shop.
Seeing the hosta, he inexplicably remembered Shang Wan picking ginger on the cliff that day, and felt that Shang Wan would look good wearing it.
Facts have proved that Shang Wan's face looks as good as a cabbage leaf.
Matching the hosta is a pair of earrings. The small jade stones make the earlobes more shiny.
Zhang Er only glanced at it and then looked away in panic, not daring to look any further.
Shang Wan looked around the crowd and saw no one from the Lin family.
"They don't have the nerve to come." Aunt Zhou curled her lips, grabbed a handful of vegetable leaves, shook them with water, and put them in a bamboo basket nearby.
Madam Rong winked at Shang Wan and said, half jokingly and half seriously: "Such good things are wasted on some heart-warming things."
Shang Wan curled her lips and smiled. It didn't matter to her whether the Lin family came or not, but if she wanted to cause trouble today... a dark light flashed in her eyes, and she would never stop him if she wanted to die.
Anyway, the seats are all prepared, so it’s not a bad idea to watch a show.
The sun was getting hotter and brighter, and there were so many people in the village that there was no room to sit in the yard, so the tables and chairs were placed outside the yard.
The trees moved from the mountain two days before Shang Dynasty became natural parasols. The dense canopy casts cool shadows, blocking out the heat of the scorching sun.
The guys were sitting under the tree chatting.
Before Shitou came back, Qiao Yu'an arrived first with A Le, and brought many gifts, which made everyone crane their necks to look curiously.
"This house is in good repair, Chengjing, please take me around."
Lu Chengjing naturally agreed, and the two of them looked around the backyard and went directly to the study.
The study room was simply decorated, not as good as the one Lu Chengjing had in Lu Mansion, but it was elegant and clean. You could smell the elegant fragrance of flowers as soon as you entered the door.
Qiao Yu'an looked in the direction from which the fragrance came, and saw a white porcelain vase on the mahogany table by the window. There were five white lilies in it, with a few drops of dew on the petals.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I remember you never liked keeping these in the study."
Lu Chengjing was dazzled and raised the corners of his lips, "I like it now."
The flowers were planted in the space by Shang Wan and were just inserted this morning.
Seeing Lu Chengjing's expression, Qiao Yu'an knew who arranged the flowers without even thinking about it. She shook her head secretly, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it over, "There is news, take a look."
Lu Chengjing took it and opened it in no hurry. He asked Ale to close the window first.
Once the windows were closed, the children's laughter in the garden became quieter.
Lu Chengjing opened the letter and after reading ten lines at a glance, his eyebrows twisted slightly.
Qiao Yu'an had read the content of the letter before, and seeing Lu Chengjing acting like this, he was in no hurry to speak.
He sat on the couch next to the window, pulled out the chessboard from under the low table, and placed the chess pieces one by one. The chess piece landed on the chessboard and made a crisp "click" sound.
He didn't see anyone else at all and ordered: "Ale, go make two cups of tea."
Ah Le opened the door and went out.
Lu Chengjing recovered his thoughts, put the letter in his sleeve, stood up from the wheelchair, walked to sit opposite Qiao Yu'an.
Qiao Yuan glanced at him coming over from the corner of her eye, her eyes wide open as if she had seen a ghost.
"You, you, you are injured?!"
"Yeah." Lu Chengjing picked up the white piece with two fingers and placed it on the chessboard.
Qiao Yu'an glanced at the chessboard, and then a black stone fell. She raised her head and looked at the opposite side suspiciously, "Everything is fine, why are you still in a wheelchair?"
Lu Chengjing dropped another white stone, "I don't want my lady's ancestral secret recipe to be leaked."
Qiao Yu'an picked up the chess pieces for a moment. Was this a point for him?
He asked: "Is this what the younger siblings mean?"
Lu Chengjing pretended to be confused while pretending to understand. After he settled down, he raised his eyes and looked at him, "What does it have to do with my wife?"
Qiao Yu'an thought for a moment, then continued to make moves, and said with a hint: "The conditions can be negotiated."
Lu Chengjing did not answer the question and concentrated on playing chess.
The long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, making it difficult to see the emotions behind his eyes.
Qiao Yu'an was thinking, holding the chess piece and tapping it on the edge of the chessboard, "When the eldest cousin recovers from his leg injury, I will ask him to come over in person."
Naturally, you need to be sincere when talking about business. Depending on your friend's attitude, you may not be able to negotiate this matter just relying on yourself as a middleman.
What Lu Chengjing was waiting for was his words, but he didn't show it on his face. He was talking about other things while making his move.
"It's bad!" A Le suddenly opened the door and came in, "There are many official officials outside!"
Upon hearing this, the two people in the room looked at each other, stood up, and walked out one after the other.
Before going out, Qiao Yu'an paused, looked back at the wheelchair, and said hesitantly: "Aren't you going out in a wheelchair?"
Qiao Yu'an is not stupid. Lu Chengjing was sitting in a wheelchair just now because he didn't want others to know that his leg injury had healed.
"No need." Lu Chengjing walked neatly and neatly, his tall and tall figure like a tall and straight green bamboo.
Qiao Yu'an rolled her eyes, smiled and put her arm around A Le's shoulders, "Let's go and see the excitement."
There will definitely be a lot of fun today.
When the three of them arrived at the front, several people were confronting each other.
On one side was an official headed by Shan Dajun. He temporarily changed into official uniform and looked embarrassed. He came to have a good meal, but he didn't expect that he was suddenly asked to catch a thief, and the person he caught was the host of the treat.
On one side was Manager Liu, and behind him were two burly Lu family guards. Thinking about it, being beaten by Xiaohuan as a son left a big shadow on him.
On one side was the Lin family, and Lin Jianshui, who had almost turned into a vegetative state after not showing up for a long time, was also there, standing behind Village Chief Lin with his head lowered.
On one side are the villagers who are confused about the situation.
The last party was naturally Shang Wan.
"What's going on?" Lu Chengjing walked to Shang Wan and stood next to him, asking in a low voice.
Shang Wan glanced at Manager Liu and sneered: "Some people reported that we had stolen something from the Lu family, and they brought officials to catch the thief."
Manager Liu didn't bother to refute her, his eyes fell directly on Lu Chengjing, or to be precise, on Lu Chengjing's legs.
"Third Young Master, can you stand up?"
Didn't it mean that he would never get better and would have to remain a cripple? Why did you feel better all of a sudden?
