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 wrong with her sister bringing two women to find 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, and then 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 he saw Lao Qian's eyes light up and he strode towards the two women who were "helped" in 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 weirder is that the two "women" didn't respond at all.
Only then did I hear Lao Qian say something: "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 capable people in the world. This experience made Lu Qixin strengthen 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 just went to the Yamen and haven't 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 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 home.
In just one cup of tea, Lu Hanjiang was 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 from Mr. Yang?" Now that he saw Lu Qixin, Lu Hanjiang naturally guessed that this thing should be from 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 the pair of dolls, and he happened to run 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 moved his hands up and down 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 knowing smiles.
After carefully inspecting it, 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 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 the expulsion order, but Lu Qixin immediately chose to kneel down after hesitating for a moment.
"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 I 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..."
Lu Hanjiang nodded clearly at this voice, and then 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: "The little girl doesn'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 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 Beijing 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?" Entering the capital? Silver, treasures, martial arts secrets? What do you have to make them tempted? Don't tell me you have nothing prepared except for your sincerity."
Seeing her confused expression, Lu Hanjiang said helplessly: "Listen to my advice, if you have time to find some charlatan, it is better to find ways to persuade your father. The 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 ask for help but was taught a lesson, left in despair, and 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? Did you make someone cry?"
"It sounds like I've treated her badly," Lu Hanjiang glanced at Shangluo and said, "A young lady from the Lu family, I don't know what to think. 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 lies?"
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.
Shangluo nodded and asked, "What about the truth?"
"The truth is, of course you and I are destined. 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, just a little bit," 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 just a small amount. At least half of it is your responsibility!"
Shangluo was so angry that she jumped on her feet, grumbling 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: "There are clear grievances between children in the world, 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 as quietly as a mosquito, "Yes."
Where she couldn't see it, the smile in Lu Hanjiang's eyes became deeper and deeper.
