165. Outsiders
"Brother Long, why don't we find another chance to try?"
Desperately leaving the farm fair and village selection contest venue, Fatty Long gave 200 yuan to send away the nagging Xu Erer.
Then with a gloomy face, he sat back in his big Mercedes.
The assistant on the co-pilot respectfully took out the lighter and helped Fatty Long light his cigarette.
he asked cautiously.
Any fool can see that Fatty Long is in an extremely bad mood right now, just like a powder keg holding sparks, which will explode if he is not careful.
"How can I try, I didn't hear what that stinky boy said, and the monitors are pressed at the door of the house?"
Fatty Long stretched out his hand out of the car window agitatedly, flicked the cigarette ash, and said with gloomy eyes: "It's really impossible, I have to tell Young Master Lu."
Hearing this, the driver, who was pretending to be playing with his mobile phone, and the assistant, who was smirking, were all startled and looked at each other in blank dismay.
That's right, the big man behind Fatty Long is the eldest son of the third bedroom of the Lu family in Jinling, Lu Yichen!
As Fatty Long's confidantes, the two also followed suit. They met Lu Shao twice with their own eyes, and they really admired him from the bottom of their hearts.
As expected of a young talent in a century-old family, he treats people like a spring breeze.
Even in the face of the assistant and the driver, the two bastards, Lu Shao is also amiable.
That close attitude is like getting along with your own brothers.
It's no wonder that Fatty Long followed Young Master Lu wholeheartedly.
"Go, we can't stay here any longer."
After sipping the last sip, Fatty Long flicked the smoky butt out of the car window, and the big Mercedes started roaring and left Zhangjia Town quickly.
At the same time, Jinling is close to the end of a deep alley in the old imperial city.
With a creaking sound, someone pushed open the small garden door at the back of the large old house, and slowly stepped into a graceful figure in rain boots.
Since the last interception mission in Nanling City, Lu Ningxiang was called back to Jinling by her family.
It is said that there is an extremely important matter recently, and she must stay in the old house.
Although the identity is rather embarrassing, when he was young, he was often bullied jointly by other children in the old house.
But after she became an adult, Lu Ningxiang was also allocated a small courtyard of her own as usual, and she also had two personal maids who were responsible for taking care of food and daily life.
But she didn't like this cold and empty mansion.
On the contrary, he often misses his biological mother, the small wooden building on the outskirts of the city.
Therefore, in the few days since she came back, Lu Ningxiang would pack up and go out early in the morning.
Or go to the wooden building to clean up, or plant a few orchids and autumn chrysanthemums in the open space downstairs.
"Third sister, you ran outside again."
Under the faucet in the corner, wash off the mud stained on the rain boots.
It was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and the old house still seemed a little quiet.
Those brothers and sisters who are used to being lazy, I am afraid they are still hiding under the covers at this time.
However, there are still people who get up early... Lu Ningxiang turned her head when she heard the sound, looked at the third-bedroom cousin who was two years older than herself, and nodded with a smile.
"Fourth brother, good morning."
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
Lu Yichen also nodded with a smile, then pointed to the front hall of the old house.
"I asked your sister-in-law Yuanyuan to make breakfast snacks from my hometown, come over and have a taste."
Following the low-key engagement more than half a month ago, Liu Yuanyuan, who came from a remote village in Jiangbei Province, has been staying in the old house of the Lu family in Jinling.
The rest of the Lu family were quite puzzled as to why Lu Yichen chose such a country girl as his wife.
Some secretly ridiculed and ridiculed, and some felt empathy and sad silently.
Of course, more, it is quietly relieved.
The mansion looks peaceful and quiet on the surface, but actually it is undercurrents surging and extremely dangerous.
Now that the old man of the Lu family is old, his spirit is not as good as the day before, and he looks like a rotten man with half a foot in the loess.
Although according to the tradition of the Lu family, the heir to the head of the family is generally inherited by the big house.
But it is a coincidence that the only son of the eldest son of the Lu family accidentally drowned and died a few years ago.
Because of this incident, the boss of the Lu family was depressed, and he didn't have any more children these years, and lived his life in a muddle, looking like a useless person.
In other words, the branch of Changfang is destined to die.
The old man will definitely not hand over the power of the patriarch to a guy who is drunk all day long.
What was originally a certainty, suddenly had a huge turning point. The second and third bedrooms were secretly gearing up, eyeing the throne of the Patriarch.
Not to mention the open and secret struggles among the second-generation men of the Lu family, among the three-generation children, Lu Yichen, the third-parent, was the most vocal.
He is only 27 years old, but he has already been appreciated and valued by the leaders of the unit, and he has held an important position in the department.
In addition, Lu Yichen is approachable, has a wide range of friends, and his personal connections are far superior to those of his peers. Even the old man appreciates this.
Such a promising young talent, looking at the entire Jinling City, is also a rare existence.
If you just want to find a well-matched marriage, it's easy as pie.
But even though no one expected it, Lu Yichen chose a country girl.
For this reason, someone secretly went to Liu Yuanyuan's hometown and made some investigations, but the result was very disappointing.
This girl, apart from rumors that she had suffered from a terminal illness before, and was almost on her deathbed, there was nothing special about this girl.
As for the fate-defying character of "worshipping with thousands of scales", others all sneered at it.
He thought that the marriage of the third wife of the Lu family was too embarrassing, so he made up a lame excuse.
It was just an attempt to elevate that country girl's status...
The whole Lu family's old house felt extremely absurd about Lu Yichen's marriage.
The old man was even more disappointed by it and shook his head again and again.
However, Lu Ningxiang saw through Lu Yichen's plan... because she noticed the small jade pendant on Liu Yuanyuan's chest.
Lingyun hides in the jade pendant, a spiritual object that claims to be able to shield the heavenly secrets.
Then think of Liu Yuanyuan's natal Liujiazhuang, which is not far from Chenjiacun... Lu Ningxiang is almost sure.
This is definitely the work of that guy, Chen Youcai.
"Okay, I have been to Zhangjia Town, Nanling City before, and I quite like the breakfast there."
Two maids came over with red silk embroidered shoes, squatted down and helped Lu Ningxiang put them on.
She stepped on her shoes and took two steps before responding to Lu Yichen's invitation with a smile.
It has to be said that Lu Ningxiang had a very good impression of this cousin since she was a child.
When other children pointed at her nose and cursed "bastard" and "illegitimate daughter".
Lu Yichen would drive away the others and take out candies to make Lu Ningxiang happy.
Lu Ningxiang always remembered these kindnesses.
After being enlightened by his master Han Damei and becoming a messenger of merit, he secretly helped Lu Yichen deal with several troublesome matters.
And when she inadvertently learned the truth about the drowning of the eldest grandson of the eldest room, that is, her eldest cousin...she also chose to remain silent, keeping this secret for Lu Yichen.
In the face of good and evil, Lu Ningxiang finally chose the tenderness between relatives.
Perhaps, in this cold old house, Lu Yichen was the only one who didn't treat her as an outsider.
Even if this family relationship is probably only on the surface, Lu Ningxiang is unwilling to destroy it.
She also always remembered that after her biological mother passed away, it was the fourth brother who paid for someone to help with the funeral.
"That's good. You can chat more with your sister-in-law. She married from Jiangbei Province alone, and I'm too busy to spend much time with her."
Hearing the words "Zhangjia Town, Nanling City", a strange color appeared in Lu Yichen's eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.
Just like when he was a child, he cheerfully pulled up Lu Ningxiang's white wrist, and rushed towards his small courtyard happily.
