After agreeing to Yang Zhiyuan's request, Lu Qixin went to Lu Hanjiang's residence to express his gratitude, and then she regretted it.
After all, before coming here, Yang Zhiyuan never told her what the "gift" he wanted was. It was only when Lu Qixin arrived at the door of Lu Hanjiang's house that she saw the true nature of the "gift".
Two beautiful women.
If it weren't for the hope in her heart, Lu Qixin really wanted to turn around and leave on the spot. What was going on with her sister bringing two women to her brother? She didn't even dare to get off the carriage.
Fortunately, Lao Qian had a keen eye and immediately recognized that the carriage came from Lu Shangshu's house, so he welcomed Lu Qixin and the two "gifts" in. Otherwise, just the pointing fingers from the neighbors would have been enough to make this little girl feel ashamed.
Want to commit suicide.
After being happily welcomed into the hall by Lao Qian, Lu Qixin was about to explain something when his eyes lit up and he strode towards the two women who were "helped" by two Yang family attendants.
What surprised Lu Qixin and her maid even more was that the old man rudely touched the cheeks of the two women with his hands, and even touched their arms, looking like a lustful ghost.
.
What's even more strange is that the two "women" didn't respond at all.
Only then did I hear Lao Qian tut his tongue: "Such an exquisite doll, I wonder which master made it?"
"Doll?"
Lu Qixin was so surprised that the two "women" who accompanied her along the way were not living people, but dolls?!
She, a woman who had lived in a boudoir for a long time, had never seen such a shocking scene before. She was stunned. Only then did she suddenly remember that Yang Zhiyuan did say yesterday that gifts are wonderful things.
Such a fake and real doll is indeed worthy of the word "Kit Kat". There are so many talented people in the world. This experience made Lu Qixin firm up his inner thoughts.
She immediately explained the purpose of her visit to Lao Qian, and Lao Qian nodded in understanding: "So, the lady is here to apologize to Mr. Yang on behalf of Mr. Yang?"
"Exactly, but not when will Mr. Lu return home?"
Yesterday's "brother" was more of a stopgap measure. Now that the situation is like this, Lu Qixin will naturally not be sentimental anymore.
"Please forgive me, Miss. I have just gone to the Yamen and have not told you when I will return." Lao Qian said truthfully.
Although outsiders didn't know it, Lao Qian followed Lu Hanjiang from the Lu family, so he would not treat Miss Lu harshly. He asked with a smile: "Why don't you go back first? I will take away the good intentions of Miss and Mr. Yang."
Tell my master."
"Since the young lady has been entrusted by Mr. Yang, it would be better to thank her in person." Lu Qixin shook his head and chose to stay and wait.
Lao Qian did not chase anyone away, but instead greeted his servants to serve tea. This scene in the eyes of the accompanying Yang family servants further confirmed that Lu Qixin must have a special relationship with Lu Zhenfu. You must know that they came before
time, but couldn't even get through the door.
Perhaps even God was looking towards this girl. After Lu Hanjiang came out from Meng Yuan's place, he rarely went for a walk on the street, but went all the way back home.
In just one cup of tea, Lu Hanjiang arrived home. When he saw so many people in the hall, he was surprised at first. When he saw Lu Qixin, he remembered what happened yesterday.
"Why are you here, Miss Lu?"
Lu Hanjiang smiled and greeted Lu Qixin. Before he could respond, he caught sight of the two "beauties" in the hall. This discovery immediately made his eyes light up.
He was not doing his job properly and had been promiscuous in the art of mechanism for a long time. Naturally, he could see that these two were not living people, but exquisitely made puppets.
Although Lu Hanjiang's hands-on ability is still at the level of building blocks, his vision has reached a level that many machine masters cannot reach. To sum up, he is an expert on paper.
"Is this sent by Mr. Yang?" Since he saw Lu Qixin, Lu Hanjiang naturally guessed that this thing should be sent by Yang Zhiyuan.
Lu Qixin nodded in agreement, and the attendant of the Yang family introduced it: "Master Zhenfu, this thing came from the hands of Yan Shi, the master of Jianghu. It was specially requested by my young master to give it to you."
This was a beautiful thing to say, but Lu Hanjiang estimated that it was probably Yang Zhiyuan's curiosity that led him to buy this pair of dolls, and he happened to bump into him, so he had no choice but to transfer them.
But it doesn’t matter what the reason is, as long as you get the thing.
Lu Hanjiang raised and lowered his hands on the puppet without any scruples. Lu Qixin's cheeks turned red when he saw it, but the two Yang family attendants looked at each other with understanding smiles.
After careful inspection, Lu Hanjiang was even more surprised by such skill. He originally thought that the rumors about Yanshi were exaggerated, but when he saw the real thing in front of him, even from the perspective of future generations, it could be said to be a work of art.
"Go back and tell your young master that I, the governor, have accepted this gift."
Lu Hanjiang was very satisfied. This was the most satisfactory gift he had received since he was a child.
The two Yang family attendants finished their errands, bowed happily and said goodbye, ready to go back to receive the reward.
While Lu Hanjiang asked his servants to carry the two dolls down and put them away, he said to Lu Qi: "I understand the kindness of the young lady. Mr. Yang's affairs are just a piece of cake. There is no need to spend so much time. Please come back."
There was nothing wrong with this expulsion order, but after a moment of hesitation, Lu Qixin immediately chose to kneel down.
"The little girl begs the clan leader to help."
Lu Qixin said something shocking when he bowed down. This scene frightened Lao Qian. Just when he thought something unbearable had happened to the Lu family, he heard Lu Qixin lamenting: "My mother is seriously ill. I invited you here."
The doctors all said there was nothing they could do to save her, so they asked for help."
Lu Hanjiang sat at the top and calmly ordered a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he said: "I am not a doctor. You should go to the imperial hospital for this matter. With Lu Shangshu's official position, it is not difficult to find an imperial doctor."
Lu Qixin bit her red lips and said with difficulty: "Mommy, she has a low status. I'm afraid Madam will not disturb my father because of this..."
This voice made Lu Hanjiang nodded clearly, and then he rejected her neatly: "Miss, please come back, I can't help you with this matter."
Lu Qixin straightened up, her eyes filled with tears, and she said: "Little girl, I don't dare to ask for too much. I only guess that since you have been in the world for a long time, you must know many capable people. If you dare, please tell me their names."
I pray in person..."
"What in person? Do you still want to find it by yourself?" The beauty's tears had no effect on Lu Hanjiang. He gave up the girl's delusion with just one sentence: "You are a weak woman, and there is nothing you can do with Master Shangshu in the capital.
Don’t you think that you, a dandy, will be at the mercy of others when you reach the arena? Besides, how can Master Shangshu be willing to let you travel alone?”
"I......"
Lu Qixin wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Hanjiang. He said: "Even if you leave the capital and find someone, what will happen? Talented people have unusual temperaments. What can you do to make them willing to travel thousands of miles away?"
Going to Beijing? Money, treasures, martial arts secrets? What can you do to make them tempted? Don't tell me that you have nothing prepared except your sincerity."
Seeing her confused expression, Lu Hanjiang said helplessly: "Listen to my advice, if you have time to find some charlatan, you might as well find a way to persuade your father. Taiyuan Hospital is still reliable after all."
These words left Lu Qixin speechless, and for a while the only sound left in the hall was her low sobbing. To be honest, if the girl's surname hadn't been Lu, Lu Hanjiang wouldn't have said any nonsense.
Lu Qixin, who failed to seek help but was taught a lesson, left in despair. He happened to meet Shangluo who had just come in.
Shangluo watched strangely as Lu Qixin, who was crying and red-eyed, got on the carriage at the door. She entered the hall with confusion and asked, "Xiao Lu, who is that? You made someone cry?"
"It sounds like I've done something wrong to someone," Lu Hanjiang glanced at Shangluo and said, "I don't know what a young lady from the Lu family thinks, but it's me who needs medical attention."
"Then did you help others?" Shangluo asked enthusiastically.
"No." Lu Hanjiang answered quickly.
"Why?" Shangluo sat down on his seat and asked for a cup of tea.
Lu Hanjiang shrugged and said: "For no reason, why should I help her? I am a royal guard, not a martial arts hero, and I don't have that much chivalrous heart."
"That's right," Shangluo leaned on the chair, swinging her feet up and down. She suddenly asked, "Xiao Lu, then why do you want to help me?"
Lu Hanjiang glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Shangluo puffed up his face and said angrily: "What are the lies?"
"The lie is of course that your father can give you too much." Lu Hanjiang said with emotion.
Shang Luo nodded and asked, "What about the truth?"
"To be honest, you and I are destined to be together. I treat you well because I treat you like a sister." Lu Hanjiang's eyes showed a rare warmth.
"Xiao Lu is a good liar," Shangluo made a face at Lu Hanjiang and said with a smile, "Where did you learn this sentence? It's quite pleasant, really."
Lu Hanjiang stared at Shangluo for a long time, and then laughed out loud: "I regret it a little now. If I accidentally taught you to be smart, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
"Bah, bah, bah, it sounds like you are a monster somewhere," Shangluo stuck out her tongue at Lu Hanjiang, then slapped her chest and said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stand with you."
"Even if I am responsible for a small part of your fake father's death?" Lu Hanjiang stretched out his little finger and made a subtle gesture.
"The entire Jin Yiwei is your subordinate. That's not all. At least half of it is your responsibility!"
Shangluo was so angry that she jumped on her feet, humming and inking on the spot for a while, then she sat back down, put the tea cup to her mouth and started playing with it, muttering: "The children of the world have clear grievances, I owe you
I haven’t paid back the money yet, so don’t worry.”
Lu Hanjiang chuckled, put down the tea cup, and his dull voice gradually drifted away: "In a few days, let's go back to Jiangnan to have a look. I will make arrangements for Jin Yiwei."
Shangluo turned her head away, as if she wanted to hide herself, and after a long time she answered in a voice as gentle as a mosquito's fly: "Yes."
Where she couldn't see, the smile in Lu Hanjiang's eyes became deeper and deeper.
