Chapter 60: The young man who sharpens the sword is unwilling to thank the chicken and dog for the late night lak 20,000 reward
I didn't notice when I left in a hurry.
But when I arrived, I discovered that the racecourse is actually quite a distance from the west courtyard.
The blue stone road is stained with the white dew in the morning, giving it a quiet luster.
Lu Jing walked on the stone road, step by step, slowly.
If you didn't see the blood stains on his body, you would probably just think that he was a handsome young man taking a walk in the morning.
Lu Jing had actually thought deeply about what happened at the racecourse early this morning.
When a distinguished guest arrives that Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong have prepared carefully early, if anything happens in the house at this time, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong are willing to put an end to the matter in a short time.
At least while the distinguished guest is staying in Lu Mansion, they don't want any scandal to happen.
After more than ten days, Lu Jing also had something to say, especially now that Nan Fengmian had returned. The trees in Nan Mansion were big and he could enjoy the shade.
Moreover, Lu Jing acted with caution, and because of the heavy road, he did not kill Lu Jiang, but just crippled him like Lu Jiang had wanted to do to him before.
Killing a brother is a great evil and cannot be tolerated for the blood of the clan.
If you get sued for this, I'm afraid you won't pay for it due to many reasons, and you will have to pay a huge price.
However, if the two of them fight and Lu Jing inadvertently seriously injures Lu Jiang, such a matter can be big or small, and no evidence is even needed. It all depends on the thoughts of the person in charge of the Lu Mansion.
Now that I think about it, they don't want Lu Jing, their son-in-law, to die.
"And the most important thing is that if Mrs. Zhou and Lu Jiang succeed in their plan against Qing Yue, the punishment will be trivial. If Mrs. Zhong really assigns Qing Yue to someone else, this matter will be difficult to solve."
Now that Lu Jiang is dead, Mrs. Zhou may not have time to engage in these conspiracies.
"It's just a pity... This Lu Jiang is Uncle Zhongshan's child. I deposed him today for a reason. Lu Jiang's repeated assassinations are the reason. If there is a chance in the future, I need to compensate Uncle Zhongshan. After all, this Lu family deserves respect.
There are not many people there.”
Because of all these reasons, Lu Jing chose to use the most direct method to break the situation.
"Martial arts and soul need a smooth flow of energy and a clear thought. If this kind of thing is not solved as soon as possible, it will be like an evil mountain filled with dust, suppressing my heart.
It gave me evil thoughts, distorted my mood, and made me no longer so clear, so... when I have to endure it, I can endure it, but when I have to stop it, I have to stop it."
Lu Jing thought and walked slowly along the way.
After walking for a while, he finally arrived in front of his yard.
The door to the courtyard was ajar, and there were voices inside.
Lu Jing opened the door and saw Ning Qiang and Lin Lonicera in the courtyard, standing in front of the flower bed, admiring the flowers carefully.
It's autumn, and the flowers in the yard are all withered, but there are still a few tough ones in full bloom, looking up for the sun.
Lu Jing walked in.
The first person to see him was Lin Lonicera, who had already heard the footsteps and turned his head to stare at the door.
Lin Rendong's silver hair was tied up casually at the back, and her complexion on her face was fair and translucent. However, both her eyes and lip color looked very healthy. She did not look pale, but had a unique sense of beauty.
And the black gold cloud embroidered shirt and the gold and white patterned epiphyllum rain silk brocade skirt on her body made her stand out even more.
When Lin Rendong saw Lu Jing come in, his expression changed slightly.
Ning Qiang on the side also turned her head following Lin Rendong's gaze, and her eyes became nervous.
The one who had the biggest reaction was Qing Yue, who was walking over with a cup of tea.
The tea cup in her hand fell down and landed on the green bricks in the courtyard, making a crisp sound.
The tea cup was broken, and the not-so-precious tea leaves were spilled on the ground, creating a picture of mountains and crisp vegetation.
Qingyue bit her lip, her hands were even trembling, and her eyes were shining brightly.
Then, Lu Jing smiled brightly at Qing Yue.
Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong were still a little stunned. They suddenly felt that this was the first time they saw Lu Jing smiling like this.
At this moment, Lu Jing's green shirt was stained with large clumps of blood, and there were still blood stains on his face that had not been wiped evenly.
Even the long, shiny black hair was stained with blood and condensed.
He looked very embarrassed.
But Lu Jing's face was surprisingly energetic, and his eyes were bright, as if he had been injured.
And he is standing at the door now...
The rock is as independent as a solitary pine, and as majestic as a jade mountain about to collapse.
His face is rare and gentle and handsome.
It is worthy of the saying "Speak to a gentleman and treat him as warmly as jade."
"Master..."
Qing Yue's voice trembled and she finally shouted.
Lin Rendong, who was beside him, was kind-hearted and couldn't bear the sadness of this gentle maid, so he took the initiative and said: "Don't worry, the blood on Mr. Jing's body... is not his."
Qing Yue seemed not to have heard Lin Rendong's words and took two steps forward, probably wanting to take a closer look at Lu Jing.
Then he suddenly turned around and finally muttered: "Master, please come in first and I'll get you some hot water..."
"Wash up and then I'll take you out to find the doctor."
"Qingyue, I'm fine."
Lu Jing's eyes were like bright stars, and the starlight collided with Qing Yue's eyes.
This short sentence.
Qing Yue suddenly calmed down, she said no more and hurriedly ran to get hot water.
The hot water that had just been heated might not be enough, so Qingyue ran to the well in the courtyard and hurriedly fetched water.
Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong saw it in their eyes.
I just feel that Qingyue has such a thin body, and she only fetched half a bucket of water just now.
Even with this half bucket of water, Qingyue found it difficult to pump it.
But now, when Qing Yue fetched a bucket full of water from the well and ran to the side room with the bucket, even Lin Rendong couldn't help but admire Lu Jing, the maid.
"It seems that this maid really cares about Mr. Jing." Lin Rendong thought in his heart.
Lu Jing walked towards Qing Yue, shook his head and said, "Qing Yue, don't tire yourself. The water won't boil in a while, so just bring the cold water."
Qingyue subconsciously felt that washing with cold water in autumn would catch the wind and cold.
But she suddenly remembered that Lu Jing was already practicing martial arts. Every morning when the white dew fell, he would practice martial arts in a thin shirt. When he was sweating, he would fetch water and wash himself. It was no big deal.
She then put down the barrel. She didn't feel it at first, but now her arms started to feel sore again.
Lu Jing washed himself carefully and then went into the house to change into a set of clothes.
When he came out, a bowl of hot clear soup noodles was already placed on the stone table.
Lu Jing buried his head in eating noodles.
Ning Qiang's less-bloody face was always hesitant, and she hesitated to speak.
Lin Rendong also looked at Lu Jing carefully. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. Jing is not just a gentle and kind-hearted scholar.
Just like the private school teacher from Zhufeng Mansion."
Lu Jing then raised his head, with a curious look in his eyes.
Lin Rendong smiled and said: "There is a clan private school in Zhufeng Mansion on An'xi Road. There is a gentleman named An Ruolu. He is just a private school teacher who teaches and studies diligently and wants to be admitted as a scholar.
He is a kind-hearted person, and even when he is scolded occasionally, he just laughs.
Later, the clan that ran the private school suffered from banditry, and the young lady of that family was killed by the robber on her way back to her hometown.
This An Ruolu closed his private school, smashed the ground of his house, pulled out a sword from the ground, sharpened the sword the first night, and then left Zhufeng Mansion with the sword and went up the mountain on the second night."
"When he comes back, all the tough bandits in the bandit stronghold on the mountain will be dead."
When Lin Rendong said this, he looked Lu Jing up and down again: "But that private school teacher didn't have a drop of blood on his body when he came back. He is much better than Mr. Jing."
When Lu Jing heard such a story, he didn't know why, but he felt much more at ease.
Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong never asked him what happened to him.
Lin Rendong even told such a story, probably to calm his mind.
Even though Lu Jing's mind was strong and he didn't need others to calm him down, he still remembered Lin Lonicera's goodness.
"My cousin needs to pay attention and help with the matter in the letter. Lu Jing will definitely reply in the future..."
After Lu Jing finished eating the noodles, he spoke solemnly to Ning Qiang.
But Ning Qiang shook her head and interrupted his words, saying: "It's just a very small thing, how can it be worth your repayment? Nowadays, when I feel unstable, I still use the poem you wrote to me to relieve my worries.
I have been taking that decoction for the past few days, and it has had some effect. I am able to enjoy the wind in this autumn day. It must be related to my mood, and I have done a lot of work for you.
For such a small thing, a lunch box is my reward for you."
When Ning Qiang said this, she glanced at Qing Yue and said: "When the old lady gets up, I will go to Chunze Zhai to talk to her. It is inappropriate for Qing Yue to serve that noble lady. In the eyes of the old lady,
Qing Yue's punishment is naturally a small matter, but it would be a big deal if he bumped into Princess Chong'an."
"It is the Lu family's blessing that Princess Chong'an stayed in the Lu Mansion when she returned to Beijing. I am afraid that the favor of the Crown Princess is also included in it. If the reception is not good, the Crown Princess will also lose face. This kind of thing cannot be careless.
.”
This is the end of Ning Qiang's words.
Lin Rendong also said: "The prince is in the prime of his life. A few days ago he went to the Great Thunder Sound Temple to receive the Bodhisattva Law of Killing Living Beings taught by the Great Buddha on Earth. It is said that with his martial arts training, he is able to travel through the turbulent currents of thunder disasters.
Coupled with the prince's noble status, perhaps the hope for the Lu family's revival lies with the prince."
Ning Qiang turned her head and thought carefully, then quickly stood up and walked out of the courtyard: "I'd better go to Chunze Zhai and wait outside earlier. This matter is not just my cousin's business."
Lin Lonicera and Ning Qiang left.
Qingyue stared at him with watery eyes.
At this moment, a man dressed in black came outside the door.
Lu Jing smiled at Qing Yue and went out to talk to Zhao Wanliang.
"There's good news and there's bad news."
Zhao Wanliang's scar said excitedly: "The bad news is that the old lady was so angry that she broke the jade pendant she always played with."
Lu Jing was indifferent and still looked at Zhao Wanliang with no fear on his face.
"The good news is that the distinguished guest will arrive early. Now the mansion has no time to pay attention to you. I have also specifically asked me to send a message to Mrs. Zhou. Before the princess leaves the mansion, the family must be peaceful and must not cause trouble."
Lu Jing then smiled: "So, I'm fine?"
Zhao Wanliang glanced at him sideways: "The princess is here to find some people who are of the same rank to intercede for her daughter. She will always leave."
"Until then, Lu Jing, all you have to do is ask Nan Mansion not to break off the engagement."
When Zhao Wanliang said this, he winked at Lu Jing: "I heard that Nan Heyu is a stunning beauty. Why don't you get in touch with her? If you please her, many obstacles will be eliminated.
In the second half of my life, I can still be a rich man."
Lu Jing smiled casually.
"Nan Mansion wants to soar into the sky, Nan He Yu wants his soul to shine on the stars, and the pure sun to overcome the thunder tribulation, naturally it should be matched with the chosen one."
"Senior, why do little people like us need to be like chickens and dogs in order to rise to the sky?"
