Chapter 69
Zhuo San's staring, staring at the tricks.

In the past few days, Ji Li moved to several small shops in Yanjing, but they were all places for fireworks and firecrackers. It was the end of the new year when the fireworks and firecrackers business was booming, so he didn't buy too many of them so he didn't attract the attention of others.

Zhuo Sandao: "I bought half a car in total. It didn't look like it was going to be given away or set off. I also found a lot of firecracker paper around the bamboo house, which was obviously torn apart."

After Zhuo San finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and said, "Master, this action looks like it's going to be gunpowder."

Sitting at the table, Lu Chengfeng said with a puzzled expression: "He bought so many fireworks, it would be enough if he really wanted to make gunpowder, but what is he doing for this thing?"

Zhuo San didn't know, so he pondered for a while, and said, "If it wasn't useful, he wouldn't spend so much time doing this... He's leaving Yanjing soon, so why would he need something like gunpowder?"

Lu Chengfeng thought for a while, but couldn't come to a conclusion, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being. She got up and was about to walk out when she caught a glimpse of the post on the desk.

Wutong came to visit last night, and the two sat down and drank a cup of tea before starting to talk about business.

Before leaving, Qing Feng took most of the silver with her, and the current life is very tight, there are not many valuable things in the house, even the tea was given by Xie Jiuxiao earlier.

Wutong handed the prepared invitations to Lu Chengfeng for review, and said: "The banquet is scheduled for the twentieth of this month, and the other invitations have been delivered by the government. I left five copies for the master. You can use this invitation." Go up to the private seat on the third floor."

Lu Chengfeng glanced at it, the post was very detailed, it seems that a lot of effort has been put into it, and the words are well written.

On the twentieth of the moon night, delicacies are waiting.

"It looks good."

Wu Tongxin made some calculations and said: "If this night banquet is successful, the name of Tongque Tower will be resounded throughout the city of Yanjing, and when the time comes, the money will be made every day, and the master will not have to live in grievances."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Although I'm not picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation, money is a good thing, so naturally the more the better."

Wu Tong laughed, thought for a while, tilted his head and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, I hope there will be a good sign."

Lu Chengfeng's eyes dimmed: "I hope."

Lu Chengfeng brought several invitations with him, and asked Zhuo San to prepare a carriage and go to Xie's mansion.

This time, there was no fanfare to go through the main entrance. The carriage stopped behind the side door. Lu Chengfeng knocked on the small door. When the guard at the door saw her, he let people in in surprise: "Miss Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly at the person: "Can I go in?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Second Young Master has already ordered, if the girl comes, anytime, anywhere."

Lu Chengfeng nodded and walked in, she hadn't walked this path for a long time, except for the disappearance of greenery on both sides of the road, nothing changed, everything was shrouded in the winter night.

Night had just fallen, and in the dim and mixed vision, I had been sluggish for many days, and finally felt a little bit of relief when I stepped into Qinyuan, to be precise, when I saw the bright lights in the room.

Lu Chengfeng leaned against the gate of the garden, remembering the scene when he first came here.

At that time, she was clearly in the mud, but she still felt that everything was possible and hopeful, but now standing here, she felt that everything was in the clouds and mist, and everything was like a fairy tale.

If the mother personally created the situation in Subei, then what's the point of all this?What is she living for?In order to reveal that the mother is actually the secret work of King Jing?

Then she, eldest sister, Jinnian... what are the three of them?
For the first time, Lu Chengfeng felt a little confused. Her gaze was fixed on the distance. The brightness of that room was like a night pearl that could not be covered by dust and snow. That.

Lu Chengfeng dispelled all the miscellaneous things in his mind, and was about to move forward when a familiar voice came from behind: "Chengfeng?"

Lu Chengfeng turned his head when he heard the sound, and Shisan came over with a soup gu: "It's really you, I thought I was blinded!"

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Come and have a look."

She looked down at the soup Gu in Shisan's hand, and said, "What is this?"

Thirteenth said: "Oh, this is the young master's medicine."

Lu Chengfeng frowned: "Medicine? What happened to him? Injured or sick?"

Thirteen said with a smile: "Ordinary wind and cold, the medicine made by Dr. Wu, said that it will be cleared up after three days. Young master, this is a disease brought out of the beating of the mother's womb. It will be a minor illness as soon as winter enters."

Lu Chengfeng reached out to pick it up: "Give it to me."

Thirteen smiled and handed it to her, saying, "I just happened to go to Sanniang's for dinner, have you eaten yet?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "Has your young master had dinner yet?"

Thirteenth said: "Doctor Wu said that dinner can only be eaten half an hour after taking the medicine."

Lu Chengfeng nodded and didn't say anything else. She walked forward, knocked on the door intentionally, and stepped into the room without waiting for an answer.

Xie Jiuxiao was wearing a fox fur and was sitting at the desk.

Lu Chengfeng put down his things, closed the window after approaching, and didn't speak, just stood and looked at people like this.

The two haven't seen each other for eight or nine days. After June became more agile, she became the mouthpiece of the two of them in their free time. But she paid attention to Ji Li and Jiang Liang's affairs, and had to think about Han Shushan. It's an essay.

Looking at him from such a close distance, he realized that his eyelashes were long and slightly raised, his gaze fell, there was a faint mole on the wing of his nose, the bridge of his nose was straight, and his lips were thin and bright red.

After standing for too long, Xie Jiuxiao finally turned his head: "Why... sister?"

Lu Chengfeng saw that his puzzled expression instantly became pleasantly surprised, and smiled slightly: "Think I'm Thirteen?"

Xie Jiuxiao lost the book and said happily, "Why are you here?"

Lu Chengfeng picked up the book he had thrown away, leaned against the edge of the desk, and glanced at it: "Subei Dilu? How did you remember reading this book?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "Thinking about living there in the future, I want to know a thing or two first."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows: "Why do you sound impatient?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "It's not just that I can't wait, I'm really anxious."

Lu Chengfeng laughed and said, "Thirteen said you were sick, why didn't you tell me?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "Thirteen likes to make a big fuss, it's just a little cold, and it's already healed."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Go and drink the medicine."

When Xie Jiuxiao heard the word drink medicine, half of his smile collapsed, and he didn't move.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Chengfeng didn't say anything, turned around and poured out the medicine, and put it back in front of him.

Xie Jiuxiao looked disgusted with a respectful and distant look: "It's too bitter."

Lu Chengfeng reached out and pinched his cheek: "En? Why are you so delicate?"

Xie Jiuxiao was pinched, and he said stubbornly: "Who is the coquettish? Who is the coquettish?"

"Drink it for your benefit."

Xie Jiuxiao said, "Let go. I'll drink."

Xie Jiuxiao seemed to be very resistant to taking medicine, and he was not even happy to smell it. Right now, Lu Chengfeng didn't want to find honey, so he half tricked and half coaxed people to drink the medicine.

Xie Jiuxiao frowned the whole time, feeling that Coptis chinensis had been poured down his throat and his limbs were all sore. He bit the bullet and finished drinking. Finally, he put down the bowl, looked at Lu Chengfeng and said, "I've finished drinking, what's the good?"

Lu Chengfeng reached out to wipe away the remaining medicinal juice from the corner of his mouth, smiled, raised his chin, lowered his head to touch his lips, parted a little, and said in a bewitching voice, "Is it sweet?"

Xie Jiuxiao's earlobes turned red instantly, but he still replied: "... sweet."

Lu Chengfeng didn't intend to let people go easily, and said, "How come I can take medicine before I come, and I feel bitter when I come here?"

Xie Jiuxiao was a little overwhelmed by her, opened his mouth, and said honestly: "...I just want you to coax me."

"Oh...so that's the case, coquettish?"

For the first time, Xie Jiuxiao felt extremely embarrassed. Lu Chengfeng was so straightforward that it was unbearable. He still secretly liked it, but the red tide had already spread from the earlobe to the neck.

He subconsciously wanted to avoid it a little bit, and lowered his head, but Lu Chengfeng refused, her right hand was still pinching someone, Xie Jiuxiao could only be forced to look at her.

This was an extremely powerful movement. She leaned against the table, covering her whole body from top to bottom. Lu Chengfeng didn't know what happened tonight, so he wanted to tease him. His eyes were a bit domineering, but his tone was extremely incomparable. The tenderness: "Why don't you answer me? Jiao Baobao..."

Xie Jiuxiao looked up at her, as if begging for mercy: "Sister."

Lu Chengfeng knew that Xie Jiuxiao did it on purpose, but she still felt a secret pleasure that no one else could give him. He seemed well-behaved, but he was extremely bold, such as liking himself.

Lu Chengfeng played with him, jokingly asked: "Sister what?" He asked very maliciously.

Xie Jiuxiao raised the tip of his eyes. Using those beautiful eyes, he slowly approached them, breathing together, opening and closing, and calling out almost silently: "Sister."

Disturbing like the wind in a spring night.

Lu Chengfeng's eyes darkened.

Xie Jiuxiao tried to feel for the boundary line, he stretched out his hand and slowly supported Lu Chengfeng's waist.

Lu Chengfeng didn't stop it.

Xie Jiuxiao raised his head up to reach the person, he felt very strange, Lu Chengfeng was clearly beside him, but seemed to be very far away from him, he desperately wanted to get closer and deeper, and finally Fortunately, Lu Chengfeng will only be surrounded by Xie Jiuxiao in the future.

Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand to hold the person down, his eyes were already dangerous, and he said, "Don't move."

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her deeply, breathing disorderly.

Lu Chengfeng joked, "You are full of blood?"

Xie Jiuxiao said, "I can't stand you looking at me like this."

He was also incredibly candid.

Lu Chengfeng showed a cheerful smile, and his tone rose: "What do I think of you? How dare you wrong me, brat."

Xie Jiuxiao breathed smoothly, feeling that his body was half-heated, he moved slightly, and begged for mercy: "Don't play tricks on me."

Lu Chengfeng stepped back, crossed his arms, and said, "I won't tease you, I have something serious."

Xie Jiuxiao gathered the fox fur cloak and said, "What's the matter?"

"Three days later, Yanjing Tongque Tower will hold a night banquet. I left you a few copies of the post."

Xie Jiuxiao's red tide receded a little, but his eyes were still bright. He instantly understood Lu Chengfeng's deep meaning, thought for a while and said: "The Wang family can send it, and the second son of the Shao family is also familiar with me."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Aren't you and Wang Xiuwen no longer in contact with each other?"

Xie Jiuxiao said with a smile: "It is because of this that I can use him without any burden."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, and said again: "Then what do I want to gain by using you now?"

She played hooligans with ease.

For the first time, Xie Jiuxiao felt that he had a long way to go, and he was a little frustrated: "...Didn't you say don't play tricks on me."

Lu Chengfeng said: "How can I play tricks on you?"

"Then I want the benefits just now."

Lu Chengfeng folded his arms, smiled and stared at the person without saying a word.

Xie Jiuxiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "You...you..."

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door: "Jiuxiao."

Both of them turned their heads, Xie Jiuxiao replied subconsciously: "I am here."

Stepping inside, Zhou Lihua was not surprised to see Lu Chengfeng there, and said, "Miss Lu is here too."

Lu Chengfeng stood up straight, and said with a smile, "Sister Zhou."

She smiled decently, with an upright face, as if the one who did the evil just now was not her, and the one who was molested took a deep breath before standing up.

Zhou Lihua is a few years older than her, and is Xie Jiuxiao's eldest sister-in-law, so calling her sister is not too much.

Zhou Lihua smiled brightly, and came forward to hold him eagerly: "I heard from the servant that you are here. I haven't seen Miss Lu for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Lu Chengfeng was surprised, and exchanged looks with Xie Jiuxiao calmly. The other party was trapped by her just now and was powerless to fight. Seeing her in a different situation, he spread his arms and pretended to be innocent. Lu Chengfeng was humbled. She smiled, but kept a calm smile on her face: "I will miss you, sister Zhou."

Zhou Lihua said: "I had nothing to do a few days ago, when I was making clothes for the doll, I saw that the color and texture of the fabrics were good, so I sewed two clothes, Fu Xi."

Fu Xi, who was holding clothes outside the door, entered in response.

Zhou Lihua picked up one of them and said: "The texture is soft, it's a good material, and the color is not too conspicuously white, it should compliment you."

Lu Chengfeng was stunned, and hesitated to ask for confirmation: "...Is this made for me?"

Zhou Lihua said: "Of course it was made for you. Could it be that you like the style of dresses?"

Zhou Lihua said to herself that she was annoyed: "Blame me, remember that you are doing errands on weekdays and thought it would be convenient to make this style of gown, so I didn't ask which kind you like. It's okay, there are good materials, I will make two more dresses .”

Lu Chengfeng was overwhelmed by the earnest kindness, and said in dismay: "Don't bother, I'll just buy ready-made robes."

Zhou Lihua disagreed: "How can the one you bought be the same as the one you made? This is based on your body size, so it must be comfortable to wear."

Xie Jiuxiao interjected enviously, "Sister-in-law is so eccentric, I have never had a dress made by you."

Zhou Lihua covered her lips with a smile, and said: "I have done a good job, if you don't mind me, I will send Fuxi."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "Send me the child's clothes."

Zhou Lihua said: "Now it's not the same as before, Miss Lu is the most important, don't make trouble."

Xie Jiuxiao didn't speak, but his eyes flickered. He looked back and forth between the two of them. Seeing Zhou Lihua's enthusiasm as if Lu Chengfeng was a family member, he laughed quietly.

The last time Lu Chengfeng encountered such a situation was when he was engaged to Xue's family. Xue Feng's mother praised her as the best in the world, and insisted on using her three-inch tongue to make Lu Chengfeng at a loss.

Ever since Zhou Lihua knew about the secrets between the two, it was rare to see Lu Chengfeng everywhere. The most important thing was that Xie Jiuxiao liked it, and he seemed to like it very much, but her husband had told her not to be with Lu Chengfeng. Mentioning this in front of her, she searched left and right, and happened to have nothing to do, so she made a new dress for her.

Seeing that the kindness was hard to turn down, Lu Chengfeng accepted it and said, "Then I would like to thank Sister Zhou for her kindness."

Zhou Lihua said: "We are all a family, so you don't need to be polite."

Lu Chengfeng looked slightly stagnant, but he didn't deny anything.

Zhou Lihua pulled people to exchange pleasantries for a while, but Xie Jiuxiao just suffered from her, drinking tea in a muffled voice without talking, Lu Chengfeng laughed with him, and finally couldn't hold back the enthusiasm and got up to leave.

Zhou Lihua glanced at the sky and said, "That's right, it's getting late, I'll take Miss Lu out."

Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to refuse, Zhou Lihua was already walking out on his arm.

"You are close to Jiuxiao, and the family will often come and go in the future."

Lu Chengfeng nodded, and finally arrived at the main entrance along the way, where the carriage was waiting far away.

Lu Chengfeng was a little puzzled, but he didn't think about it for a while. After saying goodbye to Zhou Lihua, he walked towards the carriage.

Zhuo San coughed unnaturally, but Lu Chengfeng didn't understand, so he said, "What? You also caught the cold?"

Zhuo San shook his head and remained silent.

Lu Chengfeng was so dizzy by Zhou Lihua that he had no time to take care of his strangeness. He opened the curtain and was about to get in the car, and finally understood why Zhuo San was strange.

Inside the car, Xie Jiuxiao held his chin and winked at her.

Lu Chengfeng entered, wondering: "Why are you here?"

In just a short while, he actually slipped into his car!

Xie Jiuxiao said: "I brought the book. Aren't you Xiu Mu tomorrow? Just tell me about it."

Lu Chengfeng coughed lightly: "What nonsense, what do you look like?"

Xie Jiuxiao said, "What does it look like?"

Lu Chengfeng reprimanded lightly: "I don't follow the rules."

Xie Jiuxiao snorted softly, and leaned closer to her: "Who is breaking the rules?"

Lu Chengfeng covered the man's head with the robe, and Xie Jiuxiao's eyes were suddenly dark. He stretched out his hand to uncover it, but was held down by Lu Chengfeng: "How dare you talk back?"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "...I'm going to suffocate to death!"

Lu Chengfeng knocked him on the head: "I can't die of boredom, I'll carve a monument for you and bury you in the Lu family's ancestral grave."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "What does this mean?"

"what do you mean?"

Xie Jiuxiao finally broke free. His head had been rubbed into a mess, but his eyes were shining brightly: "Is it the Lu family's ancestral grave? That's okay."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't laugh or cry, he looked at him and said, "Shameless, so anxious?"

Xie Jiuxiao sighed, closed his robe, and said, "Didn't I tell you, I'm so anxious."

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and laughed, and stopped teasing him.
