"Stop making a noise." Cheng Jinyang put the mask on Xiao Wangshu and pushed her to the bathroom. "Hurry up and brush your teeth, your mouth is full of stench."
Then he turned around and said to the weak and weak Cui Xiaoniang on the bed:
"Give me a little serious. If there are guests coming today, don't make me tidy, otherwise you will be driven back to the Cui clan."
"Who is there a guest visiting?" Cui Xiaoniang immediately became curious.
"People from the Lu family of Fanyang." Cheng Jinyang replied.
I guess it was for that plan, so I can get familiar with my teammates in advance.
"Oh, I'm familiar with the people of the Lu family in Fanyang!" Cui Jinqi said with a smile, "We Cui Lu family have a good relationship. How about it? Do you want me to help you say a few nice things in front of the Lu family?"
"You can wait for someone to come first." Cheng Jinyang refused to comment.
In the afternoon, there were indeed guests visiting at the gate of the clan. It was said that a man and a woman, a brother and a sister, and they reported that their family was from the Lu family in Fanyang.
Cheng Yuexian and Cheng Huaiyan went out to greet each other, while Cui Jinqi and Cheng Jinyang secretly hid in the shadow behind the porch, and glanced at the people coming and going.
"I know you." She turned her head and smiled, "Now I'll give you another chance and ask me to say good things to you."
"No," said Cheng Jinyang.
"Then don't regret it." Cui Jinqi walked out and waved to the brother and sister, "Qingyun!"
The girl walking across from her eyes lit up:
"Jinqi? Why are you here?"
The two girls ran together, held hands and spoke happily, but couldn't tell whether it was a real relationship or a play.
The brother of the Lu family next to him frowned and asked:
"Cui Jinqi, is she your guest too?"
"Friend of the patriarch." Cheng Huaiyan replied.
"Your patriarch really makes a lot of friends." He sneered at Convenience.
Cheng Huaiyan remained silent and knew that this was the son of the four elders of the Lu family. Lu Zhongyou, who was regarded as "slow-tempered" in the circle, was a young man who was not easy to get along with.
As for his sister Lu Qingyun, he has received praise from "quiet and elegant".
But in this world, the family only judges the value of children based on the potential of superpowers, not on personality and character. Lu Zhongyou's bloodline talent has a guaranteed fourth grade, with a chance of impacting third grade, while Lu Qingyun is a guaranteed fourth grade.
Not able to get the third grade.
Just because of this more than ten percent probability, Lu Zhongyou's clan status is much higher than Lu Qingyun. It is rumored that Lu Zhongyou himself looked down on his own sister a little, but Lu Qingyun has a good personality, so
The relationship between brother and sister is maintained in a relatively harmonious manner.
"Since you are here, let's take your clan leader out to meet you." Lu Zhongyou put his hands behind him and said proudly.
Cheng Jinyang:………………………
No wonder Cui Jinqi asked me, "Do you want to help say good things?" This guy from the Lu family is obviously the type who will find fault for no reason! I always feel that if I just go out like this, I will definitely be ridiculed by the other party.
However, after thinking about it, this is my Cheng clan after all, and I can still be slapped in the face when fighting at home. Does my Cheng clan leader want to be faced?
So he appeared and walked towards the Lu brother and sister.
Seeing Cheng Jinyang coming, Cui Jinqi showed a look of "I have a good show to watch"; Lu Qingyun was smiling aside, and his eyes seemed to wander on Cheng Jinyang and Cui Jinqi, secretly guessing about the relationship between them.
The eyes quickly swept across the brother and sister, and Cheng Jinyang also had a rough impression of these two people: Lu Zhongyou stood with his hands behind his back, his chin raised high, which was obviously a rebellious attitude of a young man. Rather than despising himself, he would rather say a guy with this kind of personality , look down on anyone except himself.
Lu Qingyun was beautiful and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. This girl was about the same age as Cui Jinqi, with short hair that was about the length of her shoulders. Her facial features were very soft and graceful, and she looked very gentle and delicate. Cute girl.
"You are Cheng Jinyang?" Lu Zhongyou asked arrogantly, his chin was still slightly raised. If he was a little taller, he could only speak to people with his nostrils.
"Yes." Cheng Jinyang smiled and bowed loudly, "I have met Brother Zhongyou."
Lu Zhongyou is slightly older than him (20 years old), and the two are of the same generation, so according to the etiquette of aristocratic families, he needs to give the tribute first, and then the other party returns the tribute.
However, before he could bow, Lu Zhongyou sneered:
"I am a mediocre person and a dull temperament. I, the Lu family, don't salute to the waste."
"My Cheng family tutor is the opposite." Cheng Jinyang's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, and he bowed uprightly and waved to the end.
Puchi, the two girls next to him couldn't help it immediately.
Lu Qingyun first laughed, then forced her to stop laughing, with a look of anger and displeasure. Because Cheng Jinyang's words just now not only mocked Lu Zhongyou as a "waste", but also accused the Lu family tutors.
As for Cui Jinqi, she didn't have so many concerns, and she suddenly laughed so hard that she even burst into tears:
"Qingyun, look, I just said he is not an honest person, you can't be so angry about your brother."
Lu Zhongyou also understood the other party's subtext, and was so angry that he even pinched his fists. He subconsciously wanted to beat the other party up. However, considering that his sister, Mrs. Cui, and the children of the Cheng family were all around, it was hard to be in public. He lost his demeanor and made people laugh at it for nothing, so he could only sway his sleeves in resentment and said angrily:
"What a sharp fang! Unfortunately, the little dog barking is so weak!"
Tight inside means cowardly inside. This sentence is commonly referred to as "a dog that can bark will not bite people", and satirizing Cheng Jinyang is only good at verbalizing.
"Brother Lu taught me a lesson." Cheng Jinyang looked ashamed to be taught, "I really don't know how to be a dog. Now I hear Brother Lu's explanation, and I suddenly realize it."
So Lu Qingyun couldn't hold it anymore and immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. Cui Xiaoniang next to her even felt ache in her stomach, so she could only press her abdomen to get up.
"You!" Lu Zhongyou finally couldn't help but lifted his hand and was about to knock out a "destruction light" to make this guy who dared to offend the majesty of Lu's family.
However, Lu Qingyun quickly grabbed his arm, forcibly stopped his superpowers, then smiled and said seriously:
"Cheng Jinyang, my Lu family is here to visit your Cheng clan this time. Is this your way of hospitality? It's really eye-opening."
"The girl was joking." Cheng Jinyang also said seriously, "My Cheng family's way of treating guests is nothing more than eight words: repaying virtue with virtue."
He said "eight words", and the first half of the sentence was "repaying virtue with virtue", and Lu Qingyun immediately understood and asked with a narrowed eye:
"The second half of the sentence is 'repaying grudges with grudges'?"
"No, it's 'being polite first and then soldiers'." Cheng Jinyang said with a smile, "repaying virtue with virtue, and polite first and then soldiers, that's all."
Lu Qingyun said nothing when he heard this.
Repaying grudges with grudges and tits for tooth. It sounds very refreshing, but the aristocratic families are all polite. This kind of casual Renxia style is considered to be the "way of ordinary people in the city". It is okay to do it, but if you say it, you will lose your best. It's right.
As for the first ritual and then the army, and the uprightness of the army, there is nothing to say. Cheng Jinyang had indeed done enough rituals when he met and performed rituals. On the contrary, Lu Zhongyou said a few words to hit the other party's face. How could it be reasonable? Thinking of this, Lu Qingyun I sighed quietly and stopped talking.
"First be polite and then the army?" Lu Zhongyou smiled coldly, then put away his anger and said indifferently, "Although it is not as good as Confucius' 'repaying grievances with straightness', it also means military strategists to suppress people with power. Good! It is worthy of being a military strategist."
He had originally suffered two slacks in a row and could not step down. However, his sister Lu Qingyun first questioned the other party, and the other party responded neither humbly nor arrogantly. The two of them asked and answered questions and answers sootheed the originally tense atmosphere, and he took the opportunity to He used the donkey to slap the face and wrote down all the things that lost face. It can be seen that Lu Zhongyou is just a dull personality and is not completely brainless.
Seeing that he did not pester and pretended to compliment him in disguise, Cheng Jinyang naturally stopped when he saw that he was not pestering and waved his hand and said:
"Please, please, two."
The Lu brother and sister walked forward, while Cui Jinqi followed from behind, approached Cheng Jinyang, and asked quietly:
"When did you become so powerful?"
"Just." Cheng Jinyang imitated Lu Zhongyou's arrogant look on his chin and said, "Do you think my leader of the Cheng clan is useless?"
