The three of them looked up and saw a tall old man walking out of the house.
The old man has skin like old tree bark, his beard and hair are gray, his eyes are amber, and the whites of his eyes are cloudy.
If it weren't for knowing that he was Zeng Ke, no one would have thought that this was a young man in his twenties.
Lu Qingtang stepped forward, reached out and pinched his cheek, "Wow, this looks so similar, right? Zeng Ke, it would be a shame not to rob a bank with your skills."
Zeng Ke's thick young man's voice spoke, "Go to hell!"
Lu Qingtang curled his lips, "Then what role do you plan to play?"
Zeng Ke spread his hands and said, "You still can't tell, but I am an elder. It doesn't matter if you call me uncle or father, I don't mind."
Lu Qingtang narrowed his eyes and kicked him in the thigh.
Zenk screamed "Ah".
But it was not too late. Then he was beaten violently by Mo Zeshen and Ji Wenzhan.
He was beaten until he was lying on the millstone wailing, half of his beard was sticky and half fell off, and the skin on his face that looked like old tree bark was also beaten off.
Seeing her miserable look, Lu Qingtang reached out and patted his shoulder, "Xiao Zeng Ke, have you ever thought that even if you want to pretend to be an old man, your voice is inappropriate. Also, don't talk. It’s too mean, your mean look makes people hate you so much.”
Zeng Ke was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at her, "Then what should I do? I can't pretend to be a child."
Mo Zeshen smiled at the side, "You can pretend to be a fool. If a fool offends others by saying angry things, they won't take it seriously."
Ji Wenzhan also spoke, "My brother-in-law is right!"
Zeng Ke climbed down from the millstone and went back to the house to tinker for half an hour before walking out again.
His big eyes turned into narrow eyes, and he had a lot of freckles on his face. He walked with a limp, one hand in front of him like a chicken paw, and then he looked at the three of them stupidly. Smiled a little.
The three of them burst out laughing in unison, all leaning forward and back, almost slapping away without laughing.
Zen Ke returned to his normal standing posture, and he said with an unhappy face: "Are you satisfied now?"
Lu Qingtang laughed for a long time before he stopped and corrected some unnecessary postures for him, such as the chicken claw gesture, which was too tiring and easy to fool.
After everything was settled, Lu Qingtang said to them: "Okay, that's it. I am the second eldest brother, Ji Wenzhan is the eldest brother, and Zeng Ke is the youngest silly brother. We fled from the north, and our parents are all After he died, there were only three of us left who depended on each other. My brother was not born stupid. He had a fever when he was a child and his brain was burned out. This detail must be made up in advance. "
She paused and then said: "That's it for now. Let's continue to think about the other details. Don't be inconsistent. If we encounter something we haven't thought of, we'll find a way to get around it first and wait until we can discuss it together. Besides, if you really can't make it right, you must tell others to prevent it from being wronged. That's it for now, I'm going to cook first, I'm almost starving to death."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to go into the kitchen, but she didn't want to be grabbed by Mo Zeshen, who said with a look of disgust: "You'd better go and get the stuff off your face first, it looks weird."
After listening to his words, Lu Qingtang remembered that he still had a big pie face, turned around and went into the house to remove his makeup.
Ji Wenzhan nodded, "Well, I have to find three children. I guess I've almost finished picking fruits by now."
Mo Zeshen quickly reminded, "If you got something on your face, don't scare the child."
Ji Wenzhan waved his hand, turned around and returned to the house.
Only Zeng Ke continued to act like a fool, chasing Mo Ze and asking if he looked like him.
…
In the evening, after Lu Qingtang coaxed the children to sleep, he packed some bags for the trip to Yaowang Valley tomorrow and put them on the table.
Mo Zeshen was waiting for her on the bed, his eyes filled with affection, and he deliberately made a seductive pose when she entered the room, which made Lu Qingtang's skin crawl.
She took off her coat and climbed onto the bed, then got into Mo Zeshen's quilt.
Mo Zeshen hugged her, and the two hugged each other and kissed each other.
It was rare for Lu Qingtang to take such initiative, so Mo Zeshen quickly fell into madness and quickly took off her inner clothes.
He also took off his inner clothes, exposing his naked chest, leaned over and looked at Lu Qingtang carefully with his dark eyes.
Suddenly, the image of Lu Qingtang turning into a pie-faced person during the day appeared in his mind.
His interest shrank at this moment, he straightened up immediately, and the lust in his eyes also faded away.
At this moment, Lu Qingtang didn't know what he was thinking. He stood up and hooked his neck with his hands to kiss him, but Mo Zeshen hid behind him.
Lu Qingtang was stunned.
This was the first time he had avoided himself.
There was a hint of displeasure in her heart, but she still asked him patiently what was wrong.
Mo Zeshen was a little embarrassed, "I...I just suddenly remembered your face during the day, and I suddenly softened..."
With that said, he put his arms around Lu Qingtang and kissed her neck, "Let's do it again..."
Listening to his words, Lu Qingtang suddenly felt sick in his heart.
She reached out and pushed him away, "Don't touch me!"
After saying that, she put on her underwear, then got into her quilt, "Sleep!"
I don't know what's going on these days, but both of them seem to be emotionally unstable.
She had already given in to what happened yesterday, and all she got was dissatisfaction in her heart. Once the dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart, she lost her patience.
She knew that Mo Zeshen was not someone who cared about looks, otherwise he wouldn't have approached her when she was still ugly.
But what he said just now was indeed hurtful. He would not be interested in changing his appearance. Will he experience such friction even if he gets married?
She was too lazy to think about it, so she put the quilt over her head, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
I have to do business tomorrow, so I can't let my emotions control me to avoid being affected.
Feeling the people around him move, his hoarse voice contained a hint of guilt, "Tangtang, don't be angry, let's try again. It was my fault just now, I shouldn't have acted recklessly..."
"Sleep! Get out if you don't want to sleep!"
Lu Qingtang was still hiding under the quilt and interrupted Mo Zeshen's nonsense.
The person next to him moved again and made no sound for a long time. After a while, Lu Qingtang fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lu Qingtang got up early, put on makeup, and put on old clothes.
These clothes were all bought in Weinan when I came to southern Yunnan. In order to make them look more realistic, they were even patched.
After a simple breakfast, Lu Qingtang did not leave the table to do his own business as usual, but watched the children eat obediently.
She didn't know how long the trip would last, it could be ten days at least, or two or three months at most, she couldn't tell.
She felt a little uncomfortable not being able to see her child for a short time.
Watching the children finish their meal, Lu Qingtang, with tears in her eyes, asked Su Mu and Kou Dan to take the children to the back mountain to pick fruits. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, she packed up her bags and left the courtyard with Ji Wenzhan and Zeng Ke.
Sumukou Dan and Yu Bai came out to see them off. After some greetings, Lu Qingtang glanced at Mo Zeshen who was still in the yard, and walked out of the peach blossom forest together.
After leaving the peach blossom forest, the three of them got on their horses and galloped towards the main road.
Zeng Ke turned to look at her, "Master Tang, have you quarreled with the prince? It's not good to quarrel at any time. It has to be this time. It's better now. I don't know when we can meet again."
Ji Wenzhan also echoed from the side, "Yes, the quarrel hurts our feelings. What's the reason? Could it be that he doesn't agree with us going to Yaowang Valley?"
Listening to what they said, Lu Qingtang didn't know what to say.
She couldn't say that it was the things in bed that made her unhappy.
Just after leaving the small courtyard, she felt quite sad when she saw that Mo Zeshen did not come out to see her off.
She sighed, "It's nothing, don't worry, let's go quickly."
As she spoke, she raised her riding crop and hit the horse's butt. The horse ran quickly, and the billowing dust was swept up by the horse's hooves, covering the three people's figures.
At the intersection of the peach blossom forest, Mo Zeshen looked into the distance and did not look back until the dust disappeared.
He said to Yu Bai and Yuan Lang who were beside him: "Go back. You must help Sumukou Dan with the children in the future. Don't be lazy. Ask more questions if you don't understand."
"I know, lord, don't worry, we will definitely take care of the little prince and the little princess."
Yu Bai and Yuan Lang responded together.
The three masters and servants walked towards the Peach Blossom Stream together.
Yuan Lang whispered to his side: "Prince, you should actually let the princess see you."
Mo Ze sighed deeply, "Wouldn't it make her even more angry if she saw it? It's better not to upset her."
Yu Bai on the side asked, "Prince, did you have a fight with the princess?"
Mo Ze took a deep look at Yu Bai, "Are you lying in the corner?"
Yu Bai waved his hands quickly, "I don't dare. How could I dare? It's written all over your face."
Mo Ze gave him a deep look and said, "You still dare to guess my thoughts?"
Yu Bai quickly covered his mouth, "I don't dare, I just won't speak."
Mo Zeshen glanced at Yuan Lang who was snickering, and Yuan Lang quickly returned to normal.
He felt uncomfortable, after all, they were husband and wife, and the feeling of them not paying attention to each other was even worse than killing him.
Last night was indeed his fault, as was the night before.
During this period, perhaps since Lu Qingtang's life experience was revealed, he began to feel vaguely uneasy.
In the past, she was the unpopular daughter of the Lu family. As her man, he could protect her and make her feel safe.
But now that she was the daughter of King Zhennan, she had a powerful mother's family, and someone was supporting her, he suddenly felt that he could not make any difference. Apart from coaxing her with sweet words, he couldn't see what he could do for her.
He has not yet adapted to the fact that his wife is getting stronger. Everything is caused by uneasiness. The more he wants to do well, the more messy he will make things.
It's okay for Lu Qingtang to leave for a while, so that he can reflect and reflect.
