Luo nine needles

Chapter 209 Unreasonable

A gust of wind blows, and there are thin snow scattered.

Lu Yizhi, who was standing in the corridor, turned his head and sneezed.

Miss Xiahou turned around from the room and said, "Come in quickly, don't catch a cold."

He felt that it was useless to just go indoors, so he simply told the maidservants who were cooking medicine by the side.

"Give him a bowl of medicine too."

Lu Yizhi walked in, rubbing his nose, and said with a smile, "If you care about it, you will be confused. How can you take medicine casually?"

Miss Xia Hou cast a reproachful look at him, and said, "You also know that I will care about it, and you will be in chaos. Then you still blow the cold wind with your father until midnight? Father is sick, and you will be fine just because you are young?"

Lu Yizhi bowed his head to her: "I was wrong."

The maidservant said, "Miss, the medicine is ready."

Miss Xia Hou stopped arguing with Lu Yizhi, Lu Yizhi took the medicine bowl, and the two walked to the next room together.

Mr. Xiahou sat on the Arhat bed by the window, surrounded by a warm quilt, his face was a bit sluggish, and he coughed twice from time to time, but he still waved his hands when he saw the medicine being brought.

"Didn't you just take medicine?" He said, "You can't take more medicine."

Without waiting for Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou to talk, Lu Yizhi sat in front of Mr. Xiahou and said, "Teacher, eat quickly. If you don't eat, I will eat it."

Mr. Xiahou laughed. Looking at Mrs. Xiahou's and Miss Xiahou's expressions, he took the medicine bowl with a smile: "Okay, I will take bitter medicine, and you will complain. None of us teachers and students can relax."

Seeing him taking the medicine obediently, Xia Hou's mother and daughter's expressions softened slightly.

Lu Yizhi said with a smile: "It's not easy for the teacher and sister to work hard for the illness."

Mrs. Xiahou deliberately said with a straight face: "Don't be obedient, it will be really considerate to take care of him for us next time."

Lu Yizhi immediately said: "I will never let the teacher stay up late drinking in the future."

Mr. Xiahou shook his head, while Mrs. Xiahou and Miss Xiahou laughed.

"Then we can't go to watch the lantern this time." Mrs. Xiahou thought of something and said, "Yizhi, you can take Ah Qing there."

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor watched the lanterns with all the people in the world. All civil and military officials and their families came to have fun. Mr. Xiahou was also among them and was arranged to sit next to the emperor. But now he is sick, so naturally he can't go again.

Hearing her mother's words, Lu Yizhi hadn't spoken yet, and Miss Xiahou hurriedly refused: "I want to take care of my father, how can I go to watch the lantern? My body smells like medicine, it smells bad, and besides, it doesn't look good."

To laugh or not to laugh?If you laugh, you may be accused of being unfilial. Your father is sick at home, but you can still be so happy. If you don’t smile, you will also be accused of complaining to the emperor, or crying in embarrassment at a grand event.

Mrs. Xiahou also understood her concerns and nodded.

"I also serve the teacher, so I won't go." Lu Yizhi said.

The three people in the room said in unison: "No."

Miss Xiahou said: "You are father's student and an official of the imperial court. Father's illness has not reached the point where you are sick."

Mr. Xia Hou laughed: "Don't make a fuss so that everyone comes to visit me, then I won't be able to recover from my illness."

Mrs. Xiahou said: "I know what you want, but this is not suitable." She said with a smile, "You can go and play at ease." Then she said seriously, "This is not playing, you are a companion, this is more dedicated than reading. thing."

Lu Yizhi looked at the three of them, his expression was full of emotion, and he got up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, teacher, mother and sister, I will keep Yi Zhi in mind."

After that, get up again.

"I have already sent a letter to invite my parents to come to Beijing, and when I arrive, I will visit my teacher and teacher's wife."

Bringing parents to the capital is also a matter of course, but at this time, there is a different meaning in saying this sentence, Miss Xiahou blushed slightly, and turned her head.

Both Mr. Xiahou and Mrs. Xiahou smiled and nodded: "Okay."

……

……

Back at the Lu residence, Lu Yizhi saw two servants whispering in the yard.

"Say what?" he said, frowning. "Be careful what you say and do now."

As the Imperial Academy handpicked by His Majesty, and also a disciple of Mr. Xiahou, more and more people came to visit, so they had to be more cautious in speaking and doing things.

Also, Lu Yizhi looked back at the courtyard.

This house is okay for Mr. Lu's status, but it's a bit small for Mr. Lu to live in.

What's more, if you want to get married next time, you can't be shabby, you should change to a bigger and better house.

As he was thinking, the boy here stepped forward.

"My lord, it's not that I'm not discreet in my words and deeds." The servant said angrily, "It's that green pheasant!"

Hearing this name, Lu Yizhi paused.

"She came today and asked the young master to go, but I said that the young master is not at home and asked her to wait..."

"She turned her face away and said no."

"If you say anything else, just say it."

"Come or not, decide for yourself."

"Who does she think she is! It's so annoying!"

The servant complained again and again, but Lu Yizhi didn't listen, only two words echoed in his heart.

coming.

……

……

Tonglou Street in the first lunar month is also very lively, and there are even more people coming and going in front of Linglongfang.

Lu Yizhi had to excuse him.

The person standing in front turned back unhappily: "I came first..."

When he saw Lu Yizhi's face, his voice paused, and his unhappiness dissipated. His expression was a little hesitant. It was really hard to refuse a good-looking young master, but it was also hard to see the seventh shopkeeper...
While struggling, Aokiji came out and waved to this side.

"Mr. Lu, this way please." She said, and apologized to the guests who lined up, "Mr. Lu made an appointment earlier."

The guests in the front row let out a sigh of relief: "Please hurry up."

It must be very expensive to make an appointment with shopkeeper seven first, so you can't delay shopkeeper seven to make more money.

Lu Yizhi followed Qingzhi into the living room, the curtain was drawn down to cut off the noise outside, he also saw Qixing sitting in the room, and smiled when he came in.

"Young Master is here." She said, "Please sit down."

Qingzhi also said behind him: "Young master, sit down, I'm going to serve fragrant tea, it's just brewed."

This was probably the first time they were treated with such enthusiasm after meeting their master and servant in the capital, even when they coaxed him before, they were not so enthusiastic.

Lu Yizhi sat down, smiled wryly and said, "The better Miss treats me, the more afraid I am."

Qixing smiled: "Then I'll make a long story short, so that you won't be frightened." She looked at Lu Yizhi, "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor invited me to the Lantern Festival, so take me there."

Lu Yizhi was slightly startled, as if he didn't understand.

Seeing his expression, Qi Xing added another explanation: "I repaired the lantern, but I'm not qualified to see it up close. My son, you must have a seat in front of the emperor, and you can bring your family and women, so you take me to see the lantern."

It's about the same as a person who is full of Luo Qi is not a silkworm farmer. The silkworm farmer is not trusted to be a son of the Imperial Academy, but she is.

But this requirement...

"Qixing, you know what it means to bring a family member and a female relative." Lu Yizhi said, his expression was full of embarrassment, "Mr. Xiahou is ill, and their family will not go. I suddenly appeared with a female relative. When the time comes..."

Doesn't that mean that everyone has to look sideways and ask who is the female family next to him?
What's more, Miss Qixing is not an unknown person in the capital. She has worked in royal crafts and was invited by the princess. There are not many people who know her. "

By doing this, isn't she trying to declare to the world that she has a very close relationship with him, Lu Yi.

Lu Yizhi looked at the woman sitting across from him, so, holding on to him for so long was not bad for his future marriage, but he had other interests, and the ultimate goal was to make it known to the public that he was related to him.

"The female relatives brought here on such occasions have an unusual meaning." He said sincerely, "What other people will think of me, you, and Xiahou's family must misunderstand. This is really inconvenient."

Having said that, I make another suggestion.

"If you want to watch the lanterns, I will ask for a lantern and bring it back to you when your majesty praises me for my poems at the lantern feast and rewards you."

The young son looked serious and added another sentence.

"Just for you, okay?"

Holding the teacup, Qixing didn't care about the young master's sincere eyes and pleading, and simply shook her head: "Not good."

Lu Yizhi was a little helpless: "Qi, you have to be reasonable, you can't embarrass others like this."

Qixing laughed.

"When your parents broke up the marriage contract and kicked me out of the house, they didn't think about reasoning, nor did they think it was embarrassing." She said, looking at Lu Yizhi, "Mr. Lu, why should I reason? Think about it Is it embarrassing people?"

Lu Yizhi's expression sank, and without waiting for him to speak, Qixing sat up straight and leaned against the back of the chair to speak again.

"Also, I didn't discuss it with you, I just asked you to do this." She said, "How to explain it to other people is up to you, I will cooperate with you, and I will not expose you, that's all. "

In the fragrant and elegant living room, Lu Yizhi looked at this young woman. She was different from the Miss Xiahou he was familiar with, and also different from other women he had seen. She had a clear complexion, but she shone with a cold light, like a bloodthirsty sword. .

She looked at Lu Yizhi and said, "If you can't do it, I will make it impossible for you to participate in the emperor's lantern feast in your life."
