my wife is a consul

Chapter 387 No. 18 Courtyard
No. 18, Fengshun Lane.

At the small square table, Lu Ming sat at the main seat facing the wooden grille door and opened it to see the greenery in the garden.

On the left and right of the square table, Erika Ashikaga and Xueruo were kneeling.

Xueruo was also sent to live with Ashikaga Erika. Both of them have tragic life experiences, and they are like little sheep who are easily frightened. They may become friends with each other.

In fact, from the perspective of past life psychology, it may be better for both of them to make a friend with a more cheerful personality.

But in the world, it is difficult to be perfect, and it is not so easy to find a sincere friend with a cheerful personality.

"Thank you master..." Erika Ashikaga thanked her with a sudden and delicate face full of gratitude.

It was the third time since sitting at the dinner table.

Bringing Jingzi back to her side made the haze between her brows lessen a lot.

She always wears girly style kimonos with bright colors, but she rarely has the cheerfulness of a girl, and she always looks preoccupied.

But today, her delicate and pretty face was rarely filled with joy.

Lu Ming smiled, "Stop talking, let's eat."

The rice, fish soup, etc. on the table are all made by Jingzi. Although she is very good at cooking, the rice in fish soup is fresh but not greasy, but it seems too simple for people from Zhongzhou who are used to a table full of dishes.

"Prepare two more dishes next time. This meal is not only for eating, but also for viewing. It looks delicious! You, white rice, soup, and side dishes, look too light, at least add two stir-fried vegetables. "Lu Ming said with a smile, "If you don't have enough for your family, you can give more next month."

Grandma Tuolong transferred No. 18 to her family, there must be no less, that's all.

He laughed again: "Eat less food, eat more meat, it's good for your body, and you won't gain weight. Besides, how thin you are, it doesn't matter if you gain some meat."

Erika nodded lightly: "Oh..."

"Master, originally I said I wanted to make more dishes, but the young lady refused to let me. The old lady gave me a lot of money, but the young lady still wants to live frugally." It was Kyoko Ashikaga who brought the fruit plate who spoke, but she was actually eighteen or nineteen years old. A young girl with a beautiful appearance, but her hair is tied behind her head, in the attire of a Japanese young woman.

Hearing her words, Lu Ming smiled inwardly, I'm afraid it's probably your idea.

The very traditional mind of a maid is now to please the master's family and advise her own lady.

I don't know what she went through, let alone whether she was turned into a minion by Yoshiko Asaba.

But besides her, there are two Qing'e here, so I will know if there is any disturbance.

The neighbors, that is, No. 17 and No. 19, also lived in several female agents of the Secret Bureau, which ensured the safety of this house from multiple levels.

"Xue Ruo, find a school for you later, go to school." Lu Ming looked at the timid girl on the other side.

Wearing snow-white silk underwear, white socks, kneeling at the table, Xue Ruo looked more and more beautiful.

"Yes..." Naturally, she had no idea, and after hearing what Lu Ming said, she agreed in a low voice.

Going to school or not going to school, for her, there may be nothing happy or unhappy. What she is looking forward to day and night now is news from her mother.

"Oh, at the No. 20 courtyard, Jingzi, you can send some pastries later, I promised you last time, I almost forgot." Lu Ming just tasted the fish soup, and remembered again.

Kyoko Ashikaga, who was kneeling on the outer table serving the masters, bowed, "Yes, sir."

……

Fish soup with rice is quite full.

Lu Ming was lying on the tatami mat. Although he was not in the habit of taking a nap, he could quickly regain his energy after lying lazily and comfortably for a while.

It feels more like a home here than the official residence left by Chen Rongfu. Although the appearance is magnificent, it always feels a little gloomy. After all, Chen Rongfu has many ghosts in his hands, and some of them may have been imprisoned in the dungeon of his official residence.

However, the layout of this Dongying residence is too exquisite, the house is not big, and the space is extremely economical and compact. Like my bedroom, the wooden gate in front is opened to be the living room, where guests can receive guests, and it is also a place to eat just now.

The wooden gate on the left side of his dormitory was opened, theoretically it was the dormitory of his wife and daughter, and Erika and Xueruo lived there now.

The wooden gate on the right is opened, and it is the maid's bedroom. If I am here, the maid's bedroom will be occupied by Xiaoguo. If I am not there, it will be empty.Ashikaga Kyoko and two other Qing'e lived in a remote maid's dormitory.

The grille door is covered with shoji snow paper, and the sound insulation effect is almost non-existent. You can hear the big and small Guo hugging each other and whispering. The two sisters were full of hatred yesterday, and they almost fell all day. Today, they kissed again. .

There was no sound on the other side, and Erika and Xueruo seemed to be breathing as much as possible without making any movement.

"Xue Ruo..." Lu Ming called out.

"Ah..." Xueruo answered in a small voice, then sat up in a panic and straightened her clothes.

"You don't need to come here, just talk like this, it's time to lie down on you..."

"Yes..." But looking at the figure in the paper window, Xueruo still came to the grille door and knelt down to her side.

"Are you used to living here? Can you get used to the food and clothing?" Lu Ming asked.

I really don't care about this little girl, I haven't seen her a few times, but she and Granny Tuolong are very close.

Not to mention that he and her used to be a father-daughter match, even with Qin Xianv's entrustment, I should take good care of her and show more concern.

The chivalrous woman of Qin has the knight-errant style that can only be seen in the literary works of her previous life. She is heroic and has great perseverance. She doesn't know what dangerous matter she is chasing, and I have never heard of her.

"Get used to it..." Xueruo said timidly in a low voice.

Lu Ming nodded. Although the Qin family and Granny Tuolong are similar in skills, but for some reason, she may also hide it from her husband. Her family has always been very poor. A very ordinary low-level bodyguard, working in a small bodyguard company.

Of course, even if the Qin family showed their abilities, if they were not willing to work as a nursing home for the wealthy gentry, and did not commit crimes, then her ability and her family's financial conditions really had nothing to do with it.

Xueru's current living environment must be a hundred times better than before, but she is alone, without parents or any relatives by her side. No matter how good the environment is, she is lonely and helpless. That kind of golden nest and silver nest is not as good as her own doghouse, probably because of this mental state .

"Well, let's take a nap. When I come back from work in the afternoon, I will take you and Erika out to play..." After a pause, Erika's current situation is obviously not suitable for frequent publicity. After all, the Seventh Aunt has not been in Nanping for long. If there is a beautiful and amazing Japanese girl in Nanping to show off in the market, if there are too many rumors, I am afraid that sooner or later someone will associate it.

Coughing, "I'll talk about it when I get back."

"Yes." Xueruo replied, and waited for a while, seeing that Lu Ming had nothing to say, the little figure seemed to have just left the grille door.

Lu Ming then picked up the letter next to the pillow and looked at it.

It is mainly an investigation of Ichiro Okkawa and several Japanese military police squadron leaders, but after all, there is no intelligence network in Japan, that is, some things that can be verified by official documents.
