Luo nine needles

Chapter 182

"You should go there."

Mr. Xiahou tapped the chessboard with the bamboo flute in his hand, and clicked a position.

Sitting across from him, Lu Yizhi who had just settled down was slightly stunned, and looked in the direction pointed by Mr. Xia Hou, showing a dazed expression.

"The teacher is right." He said, smiled and conceded, "If you make a wrong move in this game, you will lose."

After all, tidy up the chessboard.

"Teacher, let's play another game."

Mr. Xia Hou shook his head and said with a smile: "Your mind is not here, winning or losing is no fun."

Lu Yizhi bowed his head: "The student is distracted."

"You won't tell me if I ask you, and I won't ask any more." Mr. Xiahou said, tapping the chessboard with his bamboo flute, "But you can lose your mind when playing chess with me. Don't be distracted."

Lu Yizhi should solemnly say: "Students, remember."

A little boy came from outside the garden and said with a smile, "Master, Miss has returned from the palace."

Mr. Xiahou was fine, seeing Lu Yizhi sitting up straighter.

"Okay, then let's play another game." He said.

Lu Yizhi hurriedly responded yes.

Mr. Xia Hou smiled and waved his hand again: "Go, go, you didn't come to play chess."

"But the teacher is still willing to teach the students how to play chess." Lu Yizhi saluted sincerely.

Mr. Xia Hou pretended to be annoyed: "I did it for my daughter, you go talk to Ah Qing, if she is unhappy today, you can see if I will play chess with you in the future."

This also meant that he was asked to see Miss Xiahou, Lu Yizhi smiled and saluted, and left quickly without further words.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Xiahou came down from the attic beside her.

"You are willing to fight for him." She frowned and said, "You really like this disciple as your son-in-law?"

Mr. Xia Hou said with a smile: "My disciple is really good, except for his lower background..."

"But he has money." Mrs. Xiahou took the words, sat down on the opposite side of the chessboard, reached out to tap the chessboard, and twisted the chess pieces, "This white jade chessboard, ivory chess pieces, you have so many students, but he is the only one who said goodbye Just send it."

Mr. Xiahou coughed lightly: "Yizhi is talented and intelligent, and has outstanding knowledge, which cannot be bought with money."

Mrs. Xiahou snorted softly: "There are many students who are talented, intelligent and knowledgeable. Wasn't that Wang Scholar in Qizhou at that time also very intelligent? He also came to pay homage to your disciple, why didn't you accept him?"

"That's because he doesn't..." Mr. Jaap wanted to say.

Mrs. Xiahou snatched the words: "That's because Lu Yizhi, who also came to apprentice as a teacher, gave a set of out-of-print ancient books. You are embarrassed not to choose someone as your disciple."

Mr. Xia Hou coughed dryly: "Nonsense."

Madam Xiahou snorted.

"Scholar Wang is not suitable to learn Shangshu from me." Mr. Xia Hou said earnestly, "You can only get a glimpse of the book of the king after decades of study. His family is poor and widowed, and the whole family can study together. You should learn the Four Books. Study the way of entering the world, so I recommend him to be under Mr. Leyang's school, and in less than three years, he will be the lord of a place, which will benefit both him and the people, this is teaching students according to their aptitude."

Mrs. Xiahou smiled, "Don't tell me these great truths, just say, if you don't have that set of ancient books, who would you choose as your disciple?"

Don't wait for Mr. Xiahou to speak, she reminded.

"Before answering, think about the saint, and don't lie."

Mr. Xia Hou was amused, nodded and said, "Yes, if I didn't have that set of ancient books, I would indeed choose Wang Shusheng. In terms of age, Wang Shusheng is more suitable. Lu Yizhi is a little immobile when he is young, but, madam."

He spoke earnestly again.

"If you have the heart, you can read the book intensively. It is rare for other people to devote six points to reading. Lu Yizhi, a young man, has such a deep family wealth. He has no worries, no desires, no desires, and he is able to put his heart into it." In terms of reading, he is really the most suitable person to inherit my Shangshu of the Xiahou clan."

Mrs. Xiahou snorted again: "I don't think he has only ten hearts. He clearly has one hundred hearts. Apart from reading, he is also good at other things." Looking at the direction of the house, "Ah Qing can also After putting on airs for a few days, as long as I see him, everything will be fine as soon as he talks."

Although he was still humming, compared to before, he had a smile in his eyes, and Mr. Xiahou also smiled: "He has so many hearts, but it is good that he is willing to put his heart on our daughter." After finishing speaking, he asked curiously, " What is the reason? Did Ah Qing tell you in private?"

It is said that a daughter is like a mother.

Mrs. Xiahou snorted: "Didn't tell me. Although Ah Qing is a daughter, she doesn't want to act like a little girl when she reads with you. She doesn't tell me anything." Then she raised her eyebrows, "But don't talk about me. I also know that it is nothing more than a matter between men and women."

Mr. Xia Hou's expression froze: "What's the matter between men and women? Is Lu Yizhi not self-cultivating?"

No matter how rich or smart you are, you can't ask for it.

Mrs. Xiahou smiled: "What is wrong with self-cultivation? You can fancy someone like Lu Yizhi as a son-in-law, but others can't? We, Ah Qing, have such high vision that we can all fall in love with him. Are the other girls blind? He If no one really cares about it, it would be out of character.”

Mr. Xiahou still frowned: "We can't make such an unsightly thing happen!"

"What's out of the ordinary? Some trivial things." Mrs. Xiahou said, "No matter what kind of woman, he will get rid of it. He has so many thoughts, he won't even know this."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the soft ivory chess piece and gently dropped it on the chessboard.

"Besides, with a woman like us Ah Qing, what other woman in this world can catch his eyes?"

……

……

When Lu Yizhi came to Ms. Xiahou's side, he was not turned away. Although Ms. Xiahou made an excuse to tidy up, she asked the maid to invite him to sit in the living room, and refreshments were ready.

Miss Xiahou is not the kind of woman who loses her temper indiscriminately, she is a reasonable woman who listens to reason, that's fine, dealing with such a woman is actually the most worry-free.

Lu Yizhi picked up the teacup, looked at the clear tea, and an inexplicable thought flashed in his mind, but Ah Qi remembered his taste.

The bead curtain swayed, and Miss Xiahou in a blue dress came out.

Lu Yizhi hurriedly put down his teacup and stood up: "Senior Sister."

Miss Xia Hou sat down at the side: "You called me senior sister?" She glanced at him, "That's why you want to talk to me."

Lu Yizhi didn't say yes or no, looked at Miss Xiahou, and said, "She is an orphan girl from a distant relative who is fostered in my house. She has been in love with me for a long time, but my parents don't agree."

Sure enough, this kind of thing is rare, but it is not unheard of. Miss Xia Hou shook her hand on her knee, looked at him and said, "I don't care about her, how about your parents, I just need to ask... ..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yizhi had already said, "Senior sister, don't underestimate me, Lu Yizhi, and don't underestimate yourself."

Miss Xia Hou put her hand on the table, angrily and funny: "You said that, I speculate about you and her, it's my fault!"

Lu Yizhi raised his chin slightly: "I know that many people talk about me in private, saying that I, Lu Yizhi, look like a handsome young man, but I am actually arrogant. Yes, senior sister, I will tell you the truth, I am really arrogant, and I want to go further. Going to a high place, how could I be in love with a man and a woman, let alone an orphan girl who is fostered at home."

He sneered lightly at this point.

"An orphan girl doesn't understand etiquette, and it's understandable for her to have unreasonable thoughts. If I, Lu Yizhi, do the same, it's really ridiculous and ridiculous."

"I can't even look down on myself like this!"

This is also the first time that Miss Xiahou has seen him showing arrogance, especially this kind of straightforward expression of ambition, but she didn't think it was vulgar, on the contrary...

Miss Xiahou's other hand that was on her knee loosened slightly.

That's it, how could such a young man fall in love with such a woman.
