Chapter 1923 Stop and fight 81
Liu Lu was quite generous: "Captain, it is a rule to rob and turn in the money. I'll give you the money."
Xining picked up the book and said: "Hand over other people's money, and Li Cheng's money belongs to you."
"Hey~" Liu Lu happily nodded the money.
Two pieces of broken silver and a string of more than a dozen copper coins were of course incomparable to the money the village leader used to rob. But for her, who only has five taels of silver a month, this is equivalent to a week's income.
Seeing Liu Lu handing over a bunch of copper coins, counting them one by one, Xining sighed. Don't expect this idiot to be knowledgeable.
Liu Lu was not affected at this time, and she went out to eat noodles again the next day. After all, the leader of the village gave him fifty taels of silver, and he had to eat it first before saying anything else.
Just as they were waiting to meet, Li Cheng also came. Liu Lu's round face suddenly elongated.
Li Cheng actually took the bench and sat across from her table. Can't wait to explain: "Liu Lu, you misunderstood, actually I want to say..."
"Hey, the noodles are here!" The waiter held the noodles with both hands, lifted them up, and placed them on the table with a thud.
"Don't affect my appetite." Liu Lu picked up the chopsticks in the bowl, gave him a stern look, and started eating the noodles.
It was an unfortunate time. I was interrupted and I didn't know what to say. While Li Cheng was still brewing, the waiter came over with another bowl of noodles: "Where do you put this one?"
Put it on the table over there, but the person is here.
"Give it to me." Li Cheng took it, held the huge bowl in one hand, picked up the chopsticks and started eating too.
Although the noodles and the bowl are not heavy, it is quite laborious to hold them up. Li Cheng's hand holding the bowl didn't shake at all, and he didn't feel tired at all. Together with Liu Lu, who was sitting opposite, he ate as fast as a storm.
Liu Lu wanted to leave earlier, so she used her speed faster than usual. After she finished two bowls, Li Cheng finished it first, holding an empty bowl and looking at her with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
It was like he was smiling silly at her... Liu Lu became even more angry, threw her chopsticks into the empty bowl, stood up and left.
When the waiter saw it, he quickly shouted: "It's ready, come back often!"
When Li Cheng saw it, he stacked the bowl on the empty bowl on the table and hurriedly chased after it.
Liu Lu didn't want to say anything more to this guy, so she walked quickly, but she couldn't get rid of him.
Li Cheng was only half a step away: "Don't walk so fast, be careful of your stomach hurting."
Liu Lu ignored him and even quickened his pace. After a while, he felt a slight pain in his lower abdomen. I didn't dare to go any faster now, so I could only walk slowly. Fortunately, Yong'an Mansion was almost here.
Yong'an Mansion is almost here. Once people enter, it will be difficult to talk.
Li Cheng was anxious, took two steps faster, and stopped in front: "Liu Lu, it's because I couldn't speak yesterday. What I want to say is..."
I also want to ask the village master if he wants her to be a maid in his general's mansion? Liu Lu stared at her eyes: "You think it's too much money, right? OK, let's rob! Take out all the money."
Something unexpected happened. Li Cheng immediately took out a money bag and handed it to her. The speed of taking out the money was as fast as that of the entourage around Zhongyong Hou.
Liu Lu was stunned and subconsciously took the money bag. This money bag is made of the same green and black cloth as Li Cheng's body, which is sewn into a small bag, and the mouth of the bag is tied with a hemp rope.
He opened the money bag, poured all the contents into his hands, and threw the money bag away. This movement is also very smooth. I have seen Tao Hong do it several times. She doesn't know how to kill pigs, but I have also seen pigs run away. It was a bit heavy. When I looked into my hand, I saw that it was a five-tael silver ingot.
Liu Lu stared at the five taels of gold in her hand. This was five taels of silver, equivalent to one month's worth of silver for her.
Li Cheng smiled honestly: "The General's Mansion is not as good as the big families of the Hou family. I heard that Prince Zhongyong Hou gives twenty taels of silver each time. My father said that his monthly salary is only 20% of that of Zhongyong Hou. It's too much to give, so then... Give me five taels.”
Liu Lu's mouth almost twisted when she heard this. The person who was robbed even estimated how much it would be appropriate to be robbed.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I finally choked out a sentence: "Just five taels, then." Then he turned around and left.
After entering the door, I heard Li Cheng shouting outside: "Mrs. Liu, will you come out tomorrow? I'll wait for you."
What he said...at first glance, he thought he was a follower of Meng Lang; if he said it to a man, he was seeking revenge. This needs to be matched with an expression of gritted teeth: "Boy, will you come out next year? I'll wait for you!"
Who would have guessed that he was waiting to be robbed.
People passing by all around cast curious glances. No matter how thick-skinned Liu Lu was, she couldn't help but blush. She ran inside as if running away without looking back.
When they arrived at the house, five taels of silver ingots were placed on the table. This was official silver, with exquisite workmanship and sparkling silver. Liu Lu liked it very much, and then thinking about what Li Cheng said, she finally realized what she had thought of.
Comparing General Li with Hou Zhongyong, wouldn't it mean comparing himself with Mu Hanqing, the corresponding robber... Thinking of this, Liu Lu's face turned red.
But she was just a slave. Even if she didn't sign a contract of sale, she was still a maid in the eyes of outsiders. And no matter how Li Cheng dresses like a soldier, he is still behind the generals. Don't have any daydreams. If Li Cheng wants to marry a wife in the future, he will definitely find a well-matched one, not a maid of unknown origin like her.
Xining sat there and watched Liu Lu's face turn red and pale, back and forth, as if he was suffering from a cold or fever disease.
She put down her book and stood up, telling Yunlian not to disturb Liu Lu, who had been in a daze for a long time, and took Yunlian out of the house to find the military advisor.
The military advisor and the second master happened to be there. After asking some questions, they asked about Liu Lu.
Although she tried her best to get rid of it, if she wanted to control some things, she could only use the informants of Black Tiger Village. Is it possible to ask Mo Ming?
After learning about Li Cheng chasing Liu Lu these two days, Xi Ning frowned slightly: "Please ask the second master what Li Cheng means. If you don't mean to marry, don't pester me."
The second boss agreed and said that he would find an opportunity to meet Li Cheng today.
Because of Taohong's departure, even though the second boss didn't say it on the surface, he looked much more haggard in the past few days. Fortunately, Widow Liu came and the wedding distracted him some attention. Then let him worry about Liu Lu's affairs. After all, except for the military advisor, the second master is much better at dealing with people than the other three masters.
As soon as I agreed, a report came from outside saying that a matchmaker was here.
The military advisor shook his feather fan slightly and squinted his eyes: "Who are you trying to protect?"
During this period of time, marriages were popular in Black Tiger Village. Even the military advisor insisted on securing a matchmaker. She was the eldest daughter of the Liu family who had not yet left the court. The military advisor said that she was also the advisor of the Black Tiger Army, enjoying the rank of fifth rank, and the Liu family. The master's fifth grade can be considered equally matched. After meeting the military advisor, Mr. Liu made the offer. After chatting for a few words, he immediately agreed to the marriage when he returned.
Who said that the military advisor was good-looking, fair-faced, bearded, and good at everything in literature and knowledge? In addition, she is also unmarried, so the Liu family master naturally takes a fancy to her.
Now that the military advisor has decided the matter, it's up to others to take care of the fun.
The concierge who came to report the news didn't know the answer, so let's invite the matchmaker in first.
