Although Mrs. Lu really wanted to meet Long Jiu, she thought that if she came so suddenly, she might disturb the interest of several young people, so she suppressed her curiosity about Long Jiu, and also The old housekeeper who went to deliver the fishing rods was thoughtfully asked not to remind the young people that they had arrived, so that the young people could continue playing.
Xiao Tingyun sent Lu Junxiao and his wife to the guest room that had been prepared in advance in the main building. After Mrs. Lu said that she wanted to rest for a while, she went out to the back garden to find Long Jiu.
When Xiao Tingyun came over, Long Jiu and Lu Zhan were already competing by the lake to see who could catch more fish, while Lu Ling was lying alone on the boat in the center of the lake, squinting comfortably. His eyes fell asleep, and there was a fishing rod at hand.
Looking at Xiao Tingyun who suddenly came over, Long Jiu couldn't care less about Lu Zhan, who was screaming and retracting his pole beside him. She looked at Xiao Tingyun in surprise and asked, "Are you back?"
When Lu Zhan heard this, he also looked at him and said with the same surprise: "You brought my parents back? So quickly?"
"Why don't you look at what time it is now?" Xiao Tingyun glanced at Lu Zhan, then lowered his eyes and glanced at the small bucket on Long Jiu's footsteps, and then smiled at Long Jiu: "Our Jiujiu is really It’s amazing, I actually caught so many fish.”
Long Jiu is a dragon. Whether she is from the lake or the river, or doubt is from the sea, anyone from the aquatic tribe will naturally be close to her. Therefore, if Lu Zhan wants to compete with her to see who can catch more fish, it is all a matter of course. It's impossible to win against her.
Xiao Tingyun knew the details of Long Jiu, so Long Jiu felt embarrassed when he praised her like this. After all, she was cheating.
Long Jiu was embarrassed to deal with what he said, so he changed the subject and asked: "Your uncle and the others have already arrived, and we are still fishing here without saying hello. Isn't it bad?"
Lu Zhan snorted when he heard this and said happily: "Then don't worry, my parents don't care much about such nonsense, especially my mother. If she knew we were playing here, she would definitely also No one will bother us."
Long Jiu didn't believe Lu Zhan's words and still looked at Xiao Tingyun eagerly.
Xiao Tingyun looked at her and smiled, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and said warmly: "This is true. Just now, my aunt and the others knew that you were fishing here, so they didn't let the housekeeper inform you. Now Aunt and uncle are resting in the room. If you want to see them, you can see them during lunch later."
After hearing what Xiao Tingyun said, Long Jiu nodded and sat back.
Lu Zhan said dissatisfiedly: "Little girl, what's the matter with you? You don't believe what I said, but you believe what he said?"
Long Jiu looked at him with a smile, "Of course, I only believe in him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Tingyun laughed softly.
Lu Zhan was choked heavily. Looking at the smiling faces of the two people in front of him, he felt as if he had been stuffed with dog food again.
"There really is no way for singles to survive." Lu Zhan sighed with regret, and then shouted unwillingly to Lu Ling in the center of the lake: "Brother, please row the boat over and let me get on. I can't stay on this shore. ”…
Lu Ling in the center of the lake didn't even bother to open his eyes after hearing this, and said coolly: "I asked you to get on the boat just now because you didn't want to. Now that you want to come up, it's too late."
Lu Zhan choked again, thinking that just now he didn't want to leave the girl alone on the shore, but now it was better. As soon as his prince cousin came back, he felt that he was redundant staying here.
But Lu Ling didn't really ignore Lu Zhan. After a while, he saw him sitting up and slowly rowing the boat back to the shore. Although he didn't let Lu Zhan get on the boat, he got off the boat.
After Lu Ling came down, he first stood in front of the three of them, looked at the fish in Lu Zhan and Long Jiu's buckets, and then coldly sneered at Lu Zhan, "You lost."
There were only three small fishes in Lu Zhan's bucket, which looked pitiful, but Long Jiu's bucket was already filled with more than half of it. It was clear at a glance who was winning and who was losing.
Lu Zhan had no choice but to admit defeat and said to Long Jiu: "Okay, I lost. I said before that the winner can ask the loser to make a condition, so what is your condition?"
Xiao Tingyun looked at Long Jiu in surprise. He only knew that the two were competing for fishing, but he did not expect that there was a bet in the competition.
But what Xiao Tingyun didn't know was that Lu Zhan himself proposed this bet first.
Long Jiu didn't want to ask Lu Zhan for any conditions, but she wouldn't refuse Lu Zhan's offer, so after thinking about it, she asked Lu Zhan: "Buy me ice cream for a week."
Lu Zhan originally thought he was going to have a major hemorrhage, but it turned out that Long Jiu's condition was just to buy ice cream for a week. He was stunned for a moment in disbelief, "That's it?"
Not to mention Lu Zhan, even Lu Ling couldn't help but glance at Long Jiu.
There are little girls like this around them, especially the children of relatives at home, and their cousins. If those little girls have such an opportunity to make casual conditions, they will definitely not let it go. Although a family like theirs is not short of money and can even be said to be very wealthy, clearing out the little girl's shopping list once. For people like Lu Zhan who have not accepted the family's property, they can only rely on their own salary and some sideline dividends every year. The person will definitely bleed profusely.
Lu Zhan was prepared for a massive hemorrhage, and Lu Ling also felt that Lu Zhan would definitely suffer a massive hemorrhage this time. As a result, Long Jiu was completely different from the little girls they were familiar with. She didn't follow the ordinary path at all. People don’t mention your favorite expensive cosmetics, skin care products, brand-name bags, high-end clothes, and expensive jewelry. They only need a week’s worth of ice cream.
How much is a week's worth of ice cream?
Those cousins in their family can buy an ice cream shop for just one bag.
However, Long Jiu was very sure: "That's it."
Lu Zhan looked at Long Jiu with his eyes as if he had seen a relative. He was particularly sincere and said sincerely, "We, Jiujiu, are really kind-hearted little angels."
His wallet was saved! ! ! !
"Who are you calling Jiujiu?" Xiao Tingyun glanced over, very dissatisfied with Lu Zhan's title. …
Lu Zhan immediately changed his mind and said: "Wrong, she is my future cousin-in-law."
This time Xiao Tingyun was satisfied and gave Lu Zhan a teachable look.
Long Jiu glanced at Lu Zhan with disgust, wondering how he could be so cowardly in front of Xiao Tingyun? !
Lu Ling looked down upon such a cowardly younger brother. Without saying a word, he lifted up and kicked Lu Zhan so hard that he almost knelt down on the spot.
But before Lu Zhan could get angry, Lu Ling said, "Pack up your things and go back."
The group of people packed up their fishing rods and buckets, and since Long Jiu had more than half of the bucket full of fish, they returned home with a full load.
At noon, Long Jiu finally met Lu Junxiao and his wife.
Although Mrs. Lu had never insisted on going out to buy a gift for Long Jiu as a meeting gift before, when she actually saw Long Jiu, Mrs. Lu was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. The bracelet was taken off and put on Long Jiu's wrist.
The jade bracelet was Mrs. Lu's dowry jewelry back then. It was said to be an ancestral item of the Lin family. It was originally intended to be given to the eldest son's daughter-in-law when she got her daughter-in-law. However, as soon as she saw Long Jiu, Mrs. Lu was about to give it to her. Shadow's eldest daughter-in-law was forgotten.
Long Jiu has no shortage of treasures, and has seen too many treasures. Although Madam Lu's bracelet is not as good as the magic weapons or artifacts she has seen, it is already considered the top-notch jadeite among mortal jewelry. .
Long Jiu felt that the bracelet on her wrist was a bit hot, and she wanted to take it off and refuse, but Xiao Tingyun stopped her and whispered in her ear: "Take it, this is my aunt's wish. She means nothing to me." Say, equal to mother."
Because of Xiao Tingyun's words, Long Jiu accepted Mrs. Lu's bracelet. After seeing her accept it, Mrs. Lu suddenly smiled even more happily.
Mrs. Lu was so happy that she immediately decided to cook a delicious meal for Long Jiu herself. Regardless of Lu Junxiao's dissuasion, she happily went to the kitchen.
As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Lu Zhan poked Lu Ling with his elbow and said loudly, "Brother, it seems that our wives will have to step aside in the future. Look at our mother." I like this niece-in-law."
Lu Ling hummed with a smile in his eyes.
Lu Junxiao glanced sideways at his younger son and sneered: "How can you dare to propose a wife? You have been single for ten thousand years, and there is no trace of my wife."
Land War: "."
Although what his father said was true, it was so heartbreaking.
What happened to singles?
Although he is single now, he will not always be single, right?
And he also said that he was single for ten thousand years. Is there anyone who said that about his own son?
Lu Zhan almost wondered if his mother had brought him back from the garbage disposal bin.
But no matter how dissatisfied Lu Zhan was, he did not dare to contradict his biological father, so he could only go to see his brother aggrievedly.
It's a pity that his brother is much smarter than him and doesn't take the issue at all. As early as when Lu Junxiao was talking, he had silently turned his head and looked out the window, as if there was something strange outside the window that he couldn't get enough of.
Even though Lu Ling is already a major at such a young age, it is said outside that he is better than his predecessors. But as a child, if you are capable outside, you will still be the same when you come home and face your parents. We have to face the fatal problem of urging marriage. …
Therefore, Lu Ling is smart and will never make trouble with him.
But apart from this incident, the atmosphere afterwards was quite good, especially with the presence of Mrs. Lu, who had a very good personality. In just one meal, Mrs. Lu almost regarded Long Jiu as her own daughter. .
Long Jiu also liked Mrs. Lu, who had a cheerful personality and spoke softly, so she was patient and accompanied Mrs. Lu to the garden for an afternoon tea after dinner.
The day after Lu Junxiao and his wife arrived, Long Jihuai's exclusive starship also arrived at the Imperial Star.
This time it was Long Jiu and Xiao Tingyun who went to Star Port to pick him up.
Long Jihuai did not come back alone this time. Also coming back with him were Lin Yunzhou and Duan Lishu from the Longyin Seven Guards.
After receiving the person, Lin Yunzhou and Duan Lishu were talking to Xiao Tingyun, and Long Jihuai first looked at Long Jiu up and down, and then hummed as if he had a toothache: "You have been living at His Highness's place during this period. side?"
Long Jiu looked at him with a puzzled expression, thinking otherwise?
Long Jihuai couldn't help but gave Long Jiu a brain-shattering blow. When Long Jiu glared at him angrily, the commander sneered and said: "Do you remember where the gate of the Long family opens? It's all in the Imperial City. , but I have never gone back, thanks to you Uncle Chen still talks about you every day."
The anger on Long Jiu's face suddenly froze, and then he turned his head away with a guilty conscience.
What, she really forgot that the Long family also had its own mansion on the Imperial Capital Planet, and she really never thought about going back to the Long family.
Thinking of this, Long Jiu, who was already feeling guilty, felt even more guilty. She seemed a little sorry for Uncle Chen who was thinking about her.
Long Jihuai couldn't see her guilty conscience, so he immediately snorted: "Please come home and live with me this time."
Long Jiu didn't say anything, but Xiao Tingyun's expression moved, as if he wanted to say something, but before Xiao Tingyun could say anything, Long Jihuai said to him: "Tomorrow is the succession ceremony of His Highness, she lives in the Prince's house The mansion is not suitable. Although you two are indeed engaged, but the wedding has not been held for a day, it is against the rules to live together. She lived in the Prince's Mansion before, and it can be said that the old ministers have not come back, but in her heart, all the old ministers have come back. If she is allowed to live in the Prince's Mansion again, she will be criticized."
Xiao Tingyun frowned.
Long Jihuai said sincerely: "It's one thing for young people to have good feelings, but you still have to pay attention to the influence. Maybe His Highness doesn't care about this, but after the succession ceremony tomorrow, everyone in the empire will be staring at you all the time. Could it be that In order not to want to separate, you let this girl live in the palace?"
Xiao Tingyun really planned this, but now Long Jihuai has already said so. Even if Xiao Tingyun doesn't want to, he still has to listen to Long Jihuai's words.
So after Xiao Tingyun was silent for a moment, he nodded and said: "Then just listen to the commander-in-chief."
Long Jihuai smiled slowly after hearing this, and the group exited the parking platform of the star port through the special passage and went directly to the parking lot.
While Long Jihuai was walking in front, Long Jiu suddenly leaned into Xiao Tingyun's ear and whispered: "Brother, there are policies and countermeasures. Although the old man asked me to go back to Long's house to live, I can't wait until night Then I can find you quietly, and the old man won’t be able to find you.”
Xiao Tingyun glanced at Long Jiu quietly, with a slight smile in his eyes.
Although the Marshal wanted to separate them and live in their own homes, it was obvious that his child was still facing him. No, as soon as the Marshal said he wanted her to go back to Long's house, she immediately told him that she would come to see him quietly at night.
