The three of them were stunned. After a few breaths, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and reached out to pull the door, while blocking Qiaoqiao and Qiaoniang behind him.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
Since the other party dares to chase him to Yangliu Lane, there is no point in hiding and being a turtle. Who can be blocked by a courtyard door?
The man in white robe stood in front of the door, looked at Xiao Feng who was blocking the door with a righteous look on his face, and shook his head.
With a stretch of his hand, he pushed Xiao Feng aside, walked into the courtyard, swaggered into the main room and sat down, throwing what he was holding on the table.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and strode into the main room. Qiao Niang closed the door, pulled Qiao Qiao, and followed her in quietly.
Maybe there is a real danger and they can't help, but they will never let the master face the danger alone.
Xiao Feng saw that under the light, the package on the table turned out to be dozens of meat buns.
The man in the white robe picked up one, took a bite, and frowned: "The oil is too much. Why are you running? Didn't you promise the little girl to buy meat buns?"
Xiao Feng looked at him in surprise. He was sure he couldn't remember this person, although he felt a bit familiar.
Qiao Niang behind her let out a low exclamation, then squatted deeply and said, "Master Lu, it turns out to be you!"
Xiao Feng suddenly remembered.
When his father first joined Jinyiwei as an errand, he was still young and should have met Lu Bing once.
But later he studied behind closed doors, and Lu Bing never came to his house. Even Xiao Wannian's death had not happened before, and he no longer remembered his appearance.
What is the business of this Jin Yiwei commander coming to the house of a former subordinate who has been dead for several years?
Lu Bing looked at Qiao Niang with a lonely expression, as if he had thought of many things. But he was not one to be disturbed by emotions and quickly regained his composure.
"You heard what I said to Prince Yu, right?"
Xiao Feng nodded. There was no point in lying, especially when facing the person in front of him.
"I've never heard that you can tell fortunes, and there are no Taoist priests in Xiao Wannian's family. I don't know how you do your fortune telling, but the secret guards said that your fortune telling is quite accurate."
Xiao Feng still didn't speak. His glittering statement was okay for others to hear, but for Lu Bing, it felt a little guilty. He had to think of something more presentable.
"Long Live Taoism, you are very concerned about Taoist affairs. If you have real ability, you may not be able to make a comeback.
It's just that fortune telling is too false. I don't believe it. If you are not sure, you'd better keep a low profile.
Xiao Wannian is your only son, and I can’t watch you die. "
Anger suddenly welled up in Xiao Feng's heart. Although he had changed the core, his memory of Xiao Wannian was still clear.
Even if there is no such deep family affection, he is his father in this world after all, the person he admires closest to him in his memory.
That shrewd and capable man suddenly took Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao home one day, and then got very drunk.
Within a few days, he lost his official position and became a commoner. After that, he drank at home every day without shaving, as if he had grown old all of a sudden.
When he passed away a few years later, Xiao Feng found all the money in the family, but it was not enough for a decent coffin.
Qiao Niang wanted to sell herself to Xiao Wannian to buy a coffin, but Xiao Feng stopped her. At that time, although he was still the nerd he was before the core change, he was still a good person.
If Liu Xueer hadn't secretly sent a handful of broken silver, he would have had to sell the house to let Xiao Wannian rest in peace.
According to Xiao Wannian, he saved Lu Bing's life when he was on duty with Lu Bing.
When Xiao Wannian was dismissed from his post, Lu Bing was already in command and named No. 2. He actually had great power. What had he done?
After Xiao Wannian lost his official position, the family of four often drank porridge and the worst wine. Lu Bing had a beautiful concubine in a mansion and was well-dressed and well-fed. What did he do?
When Xiao Wannian died, his family was almost destroyed because of a coffin and a cemetery. What did he do?
Now this man is brazenly saying that he has done a lot for Xiao Wannian and even kept him because he is an accurate fortune teller? Because he has a chance to make a comeback?
Xiao Feng was not stupid enough to argue with him directly. He just expressed his disdain with silence.
Qiao Niang looked at Xiao Feng and hesitated to speak. Her own knowledge is limited and may not be the whole truth.
For me, the less I know about the past, the better.
Now that the master has the ability to make money, I can look after his family well and live a peaceful life. In the future, I will marry a good wife for the master and flourish.
This is the best way to repay my late master.
Lu Bing could feel Xiao Feng's hostility, but he had no intention of explaining it at this time, and even if Xiao Feng knew the truth, he might not stop hating him.
He stood up and walked out: "I came to make an exception today because someone made an exception first. If nothing happens, I won't come here. I have a message for you."
“If you want to be safe, you either have to be so low that no one can see you, or you have to be so high that everyone is watching you, so you can take care of yourself.”
After he left, Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Feng with an angry look on his face, straightened his chest, and said with integrity: "We won't eat the buns he bought! Let's drink porridge!"
Xiao Feng patted her on the head: "You are stupid. If you don't eat the steamed buns, why should you drink porridge? Take the vinegar!"
Qiaoqiao's integrity was immediately forgotten, and she ran to express her jealousy with a smile on her face.
Xiao Feng took out five taels of silver and handed it to Qiao Niang: "There are still three taels left, that's enough."
Qiao Niang carefully put it away and wanted to ask if the five taels of silver were related to today's trouble. After thinking about it, she decided to ask her daughter when she went to bed at night.
At this time in the Liu Mansion, Liu Tong looked at the housekeeper waiting outside the door and refused to let him in. He also refused to go out and ate calmly.
Instead, the wife and two children were eating absentmindedly and staring at him.
Liu Tong coughed: "What are you looking at? Eat, Xue'er eat more meat, why are you just eating vegetables?"
Liu Xueer used chopsticks to mix a piece of green vegetables and chewed it carefully.
Liu Peng chewed the meat and muttered: "Dad, you want to invite the housekeeper to come in and greet you, why are you stretching like this?"
Liu Tong glared at his son: "Don't talk when you eat or sleep. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it after dinner."
Mrs. Liu nodded approvingly. It seemed that she could be gentler to him tonight, or at least go to bed.
Feeling the friendliness from his wife, Liu Tong filled himself up with another small glass of reddish-brown wine with satisfaction.
This is the housekeeper's ancestral secret recipe. It is soaked with deer antler, tiger bone, and cistanche. It is said to be very effective.
He didn't dare to drink in the past two days, but Liu Tong was cautious today and only drank after making sure the atmosphere was good.
After everyone finished eating safely, Liu Tong asked everyone to go back to the backyard, then called the housekeeper in and asked eagerly.
"Sir, today, Minister Zhao's housekeeper took someone to find Xiao Feng to trouble him, but Minister Zhao stopped him and sent him back."
Um? Is Zhao Wenhua so generous?
Liu Tong frowned. Zhao Er had promised his housekeeper yesterday that as long as the housekeeper of the Zhao family took action, Xiao Feng would be unlucky. It was really unreliable.
"But Master, Xiao Feng had no business today. I kept watching until the sun set over the mountains before coming back. Everyone had closed their stalls. He was waiting for the boy from yesterday, but that boy didn't come either. His whole day was in vain!"
Liu Tong was overjoyed: "I said his good luck has come to an end! He didn't make a penny yesterday! He cheated me out of three taels of silver in the first two days, which really scared me! He didn't make a penny in the next two days. Hahahaha! Great, great! Thank you for your hard work!"
The praised butler left happily. Liu Tong felt that the heat of the medicinal wine had gone all the way down from his stomach to his Dantian, and his whole body had begun to rise.
So I happily walked to the main room and decided to show off.
Halfway through, I heard Liu Peng shouting: "Mom, my sister cried so much that she vomited and even vomited her dinner!"
Liu Tong was shocked, and then heard his wife yell angrily: "Go to the study and sleep!"
