Chapter 259 Birthday Banquet ([-])

Chen Qing went down a dirt slope and turned to another path, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him, and then a woman asked in a low voice: "General Chen, is that you?"

Chen Qing stopped in his tracks, turned his head slowly, and saw Lu Xiu standing on the small slope above, with an unconcealable surprise in his beautiful eyes.

Chen Qing smiled, "Miss Lu, long time no see!"

"Ah! It's you."

Lu Xiu hurried down, Chen Qing was startled, and shouted urgently: "Be careful!"

He took two quick steps forward and offered her his arm. Lu Xiu couldn't stop running down the slope, and grabbed Chen Qing's arm. She patted her chest and smiled, "It's so dangerous, I almost fell."

Chen Qing felt relieved suddenly, ran from Lu Xiu joyfully, and grabbed his arm without any shyness, Chen Qing realized that Lu Xiu is actually a very cheerful and straightforward woman, and it is normal for her to chat with other outstanding men !This is her character, not her empathy.

"When did you come back?" Lu Xiu looked at Chen Qing and asked with a smile.

Chen Qing was slightly taken aback, she didn't know.

"I came back the afternoon the day before yesterday, and the Privy Council informed me to come back to report on my duties. I visited Lingzu the night before yesterday."

"Ah! Why didn't my grandfather tell me?"

"Maybe he's mad at me."

"How did you offend grandpa?"

"It's hard to say, I can tell you slowly, don't delay you!" Chen Qing glanced up the mountain, and he vaguely saw the figure of a man.

"Don't delay, a dozen of us are like-minded anti-golden faction, and we are discussing to form an anti-golden poetry club! It doesn't matter if I'm not here."

Chen Qing pointed to the avenue ahead with a smile, "Let's go there for a walk!"

The two walked slowly down the hill, and Chen Qing talked about his gift giving, and said with a wry smile: "I know that those items all come from the imperial palace, but I never thought about presumptuous things."

Lu Xiu said thoughtfully: "Actually, I don't think it matters! The royal family is also very close to the people. Sometimes they will auction off some surplus items. Anyone can buy them. I haven't heard anything wrong with it."

Chen Qing sighed and said, "People don't report this kind of thing, and officials don't investigate it. If no one mentions it, of course it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that someone with a heart will make a fuss about it. Your grandfather is also afraid of this."

"That's true!"

Lu Xiu suddenly blushed, and asked in a low voice, "I never asked you, where do your parents live?"

Chen Qing shook his head, Lu Xiu was startled, feeling a little disappointed.

"Is it inconvenient to tell me?"

"That's not what I mean. I have no parents, no siblings, no relatives, and I'm alone."

"Ah! Why is this happening?"

"Let's fight!"

Lu Xiu looked at this strong and resolute man, and a strong sympathy surged in her heart. What kind of loneliness should he be like in this world?
"I finally understand why you use your own money to pay for the dead soldiers. You regard them as your relatives, right?"

"Yes! That's the feeling."

"Sister Xiu!" Suddenly someone shouted from behind.

The two turned their heads and saw the young man walking over with a smile.

Lu Xiu frowned, "What did you call me just now?"

"I made a mistake, Miss Lu, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Master Shen, please tell them that I won't participate today, let's talk about it next time!"

The young man didn't leave, he looked at Chen Qing and said, "This is..."

"This is General Chen of the Western Army and my future husband!" Lu Xiu replied calmly.

The young man's face turned pale for a moment, his body swayed unsteadily, as if he had stepped on the ground, he smiled very reluctantly, "So that's the case, then don't bother me."

He took another deep look at Chen Qing, turned around and walked away quickly.

Chen Qing's heart also seemed to set off a turbulent wave. He never expected that Lu Xiu would admit it so bravely. This made Chen Qing's heart very moved, and his eyes were sour and a little moist.

Lu Xiu lowered her head shyly, and whispered, "I don't hate others, but I don't want to delay him."

Chen Qing laughed and said, "His name is Shen Gai, right?"

"How do you know?" Lu Xiu was taken aback.

"I met a good friend Hu Yantong yesterday, and he told me about it."

Lu Xiu suddenly felt a little nervous, and quickly explained: "Listen to me, I know this person only because everyone wants to form a poetry club, but I also feel that Mr. Shen is too enthusiastic, but I still want to leave him Save face and let him get out of trouble."

"But you did slap him just now!"

"That's what he asked for. If I don't make it clear, he will definitely humiliate you."

"Humiliate me?"

Chen Qing laughed, "No one dares to humiliate me, unless he doesn't want to live anymore."

Chen Qing also felt that something was wrong, and said apologetically, "I'm used to fighting and killing, I forgot that this is Lin'an."

Lu Xiu didn't care, as long as Chen Qing never misunderstood.

At this moment, her heart was filled with the joy of reunion, and the lovesickness for more than a year was made up at this moment.

Lu Xiumei turned her eyes, and suddenly found that there was a thin string around Chen Qing's neck. She immediately guessed what it was, and her heart was sweetened. It turned out that he had been wearing it close to her body.

"what is this?"

Chen Qing saw a farmhouse on the side of the road, with ears of wheat and gourds hanging under the eaves, a piece of white paper pasted on the door, and pens and ink on the window sill next to it.

Lu Xiu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "This is a farmhouse. Many high-ranking officials have such imitation farmhouses. Sometimes I stay here for one night to forget the troubles of the officialdom. My grandfather also has a farmhouse."

"Why is there still a blank piece of paper on the door?"

"This is today's poetry competition! Write down poems when you feel inspired, and there are white papers posted everywhere, hey!"

Lu Xiu suddenly found that it was empty, not a single poem, "Everywhere else is full, why is there nothing written here?"

"Maybe it's relatively remote here! No one found it."

Chen Qing pointed to the pen and ink and said with a smile: "Xiu Niang, you also write a poem."

Lu Xiu was a little embarrassed, "I'm not familiar with the peasant family, writing it would make people laugh, General Chen"

"You can be called Chen Sanlang!" Chen Qing interrupted her and laughed.

Chen Qing was a desperate Saburo in his previous life, everyone jokingly called him Chen Sanlang, but no one called him Sanlang in this life.

"Okay, Saburo, let's go elsewhere!"

Chen Qing glanced back at the hill, and said with a smile: "Someone is probably thinking of how to slap me in the face, but unfortunately I have too thick skin, you might as well put it here!"

Lu Xiu looked at Chen Qing in puzzlement, wondering what he meant by this?
Chen Qing picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the white paper:

Mo Xiao's farmhouse is full of wine and drunk, and he stays with chicken and dolphin in good years.

Mountain darkly, vista.

Xiaogu follows Chunshe, and the clothes are simple and ancient.

From now on, if Xu Xing leisurely by the moon, knocking on the door every night with a stick.

After finishing writing, he put down his pen and said secretly: "I, Lao Chen, want to win the heart of a beautiful woman, Lao Lu, offended!"

Lu Xiu covered her mouth in surprise, her beautiful eyes sparkled, "Sanlang, you wrote this poem?"

Chen Qing chuckled, and said without shame: "I wrote it in Qinzhou at the beginning of the year, and now I just use it."

The more Lu Xiu read it, the more she liked it. She took Chen Qing's arm and said coquettishly, "What else? Tell me more!"

What else?When will the bright moon come, no!Old Su has already written it, and he is more suitable for writing frontier poems, but it is even more wrong to make Dragon City Flying Generals here!

Chen Qing suddenly rolled his eyes, he thought of a wonderful poem, but he had to keep it for a while, and couldn't write it all at once.

"My level is limited, and I have written very little. I will tell you about a few more in the future. Anyway, the days are long!"

Hearing the words "the days are long anyway", Lu Xiu blushed with shame, but her heart was as sweet as honey, she shyly glanced at Chen Qing, pouted and said coquettishly: "I want you to play with me Hu Jian, someone praised you for being great, but I have never seen it before!"

"Let's go! Let's win all the bounties from Hujian!"

"Hee hee! The reward is mine."
