Lu Songli was looking at the test questions her father had set out to recruit talented people. These test questions were all sample questions from previous years. Her father picked some and made two sets of papers. These two sets of papers are quite satisfactory. She thought for a while and added a tricky question to each.
"...Master, the whole thing is like this." After Wu Ren finished speaking, he lowered his hands and stood aside.
Lu Songli put down the pen in her hand, "Don't worry about this matter for now, just do whatever you want."
This time, when Master Ji and Second Master Gu arrived, Lu Songli did not personally receive them like the last time Ji Wuyin arrived, but asked Wu Ren to do it for them. Firstly, he was familiar with the two of them, and secondly, he happened to have a few days of rest after returning from the Southland.
"But Master, Second Young Master Gu is quite arrogant. If we don't express our will, will he and Young Master Gu sue us when he goes back to the Southland?" When Gu Er was mentioned, Wu Ren felt quite unhappy. Wouldn't it be better for both parties to proceed step by step? Why are you so anxious?
Lu Songli: "Isn't this just right?" There is no rush in cooperating with the Gu family. Let's wait and see what kind of reaction the Gu family will have later.
Wu Ren: "Huh?"
"As the saying goes, you can't be close if you are not close. If Gu Huaisheng listened to Gu Erzhi without any doubts, it proves that he has a problem with his vision of people, and he does not know that his brother has such an arrogant and arrogant character flaw. People don’t understand, and they still listen to what they believe.”
"If he didn't listen to Gu Yi's words, it means that he still has a certain ability to distinguish right from wrong, and he also knows what kind of virtue Gu Er is. To send him here like this is either a temptation, or he has great trust in him. Brother, I have unrealistic fantasies and expectations for this brother.”
Regardless of the reason, Lu Songli decided that from now on, they would just treat Gu as an ordinary trader, not a strategic partner.
In fact, Gu Huaisheng was quite unjust. He asked Gu Er to come over because he wanted to show favor to Liaodong County. He thought, Gu Er came here just to spend money, right?
If not, isn't there Mr. Ji? Just follow and invest. If you learn from one thing, you can't go wrong, right?
How did he know that his younger brother, who had always loved spending money and was good at spending money, would not change his arrogance when he came to Liaodong County, and suddenly became frugal and stingy?
…
On the other side, Xue Xu and his clansmen hurriedly and slowly caught up, and finally caught up with the large army led by Master Qin Liu in Xuzhou in the afternoon of one day.
"Master Lu Liu, look who's here?" Liu Erxi personally led the people to Qin Sheng.
Lu? Mr. Xue's look at Qin Sheng suddenly became meaningful.
Seeing Xue Xu, Qin Sheng was not surprised.
"Good morning, Mr. Lu Liu." Xue Xu said hello in a longer voice.
Qin Sheng's expression remained unchanged, and he hummed in his mind, why did he use the pseudonym Lu Liuye when he was outside? “Mr.
Brat! Which pot won’t be opened? "Aren't I worried that you won't be able to handle it?" Xue Xu said.
Qin Sheng curled his lips, but didn't say anything more.
At the end of the day's journey and when they were setting up camp, Xue Xu said to Qin Sheng, "Sixth Master, how about a competition with the two of them?"
"Okay." Qin Sheng also saw that the two men's skills were not simple.
They quickly found a suitable venue for everyone, and Xian Feng fought with Alice and Qin Sheng.
Alice is big, strong and good at defense; Xian Feng is flexible and good at attack.
The two joined forces and fought with Qin Sheng inextricably.
There were a bunch of people watching around. Xue Xu glanced at the Hou brothers and sisters standing in the front row and looked away.
After about two hundred moves, Xue Xu came out and called a halt.
In fact, all three of them have their own killer moves yet to come out, but this is a competition, and they are all on their own, so forget it and there is no need to make both sides lose.
After Alice returned to Xue Xu, she said honestly, "Second uncle, he is so strong!"
Xian Feng felt the same way.
Xue Xu smiled and said, "He is very strong, and you are not bad either. You will pass this competition once you try it, don't think too much about it."
Xian Feng and Alice both nodded.
"It's time to eat!"
Xian Feng, Alice and others are new members and have not yet been assigned work. Therefore, this meal was delivered to them by Qin Sheng's personal soldiers.
Xian Feng asked, "Brother, can you bring us some more food? We can eat better." For six people, this food would be enough, but who allowed Alice to be in their team?
"Okay, I'll bring you another bucket! As for you, just open your stomachs and eat. We don't have much else and we have the most food." The soldier thought to himself that what Mr. Xue brought back was all his own. Is there any reason for starving one's own people? Looking at the six of them, I thought that bringing another bucket would be enough.
Xue Xu happened to come over at this time. After hearing this, he said, "Bring over two more buckets of rice."
Although the soldier was surprised, he carried two buckets of rice over as he ordered.
Alice's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at her second uncle expectantly.
Xue Xu nodded, "Eat with confidence."
The big bowl they all eat in is not a small bowl the size of a palm.
Not long after, the other five clan members, including Xian Feng, were all full, but Alice was still cooking.
They each had two large bowls of rice, and Alice was already on her sixth bowl.
The people nearby noticed this and were surprised. They had never seen such a good eater, and she was also a woman.
After finishing the sixth bowl, Alice found that there was still a layer of rice at the bottom of the rice bucket. She quickly scraped it into the bowl with a wooden spoon, not even missing every grain of rice on the edge of the bucket.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she murmured, "We can't waste food." Then she ate.
After finishing the last bit of rice in the bowl, Alice put down the bowl reluctantly.
"Are you full?"
Alice touched her belly and nodded with satisfaction. In fact, she had just eaten eighty percent full, but eighty percent full was already good. She used to only dare to eat three bowls of rice, but sometimes she couldn't help but eat four bowls. , often very hungry.
It was only then that Xue Xu learned about Alice's true appetite. The child was shy, so he guessed that she could eat some more. But forget it this time. If you have been hungry for a long time, it is not good to eat too much all at once.
Qin Sheng, who was standing by, saw her and said, "In the future, I will prepare a bucket of food for her alone, without sharing it with others." This was the female guard Xue Xu had found for his wife, how could he let her starve.
Alice was very happy when she heard this.
When she was taken out of the clan, her second uncle quietly told her that he had found a heroine, and from now on she would be a female guard to protect her. She also knew that the man in front of her was the heroine's husband.
The heroine's husband keeps her well fed and is a good man. The heroine must also be a good person, and she will definitely protect her in the future.
