Chapter 188 The 'Family Banquet' at the Marquis of Zhenyuan

The other courtyard of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?

Only then did Lu Xizhi see another carriage at the door, which looked very noble.

She raised her head blankly, "Then...couldn't it just happen to be the car of Marquis Zhenyuan?"

Yuan Yanxi tapped the tip of her delicate little nose: "Xixi is so smart."

Lu Xizhi turned around and left without taking the carriage, and trotted without taking two steps.

Are you kidding me, what's the situation, let's not talk about coming here empty-handed, and I'm not ready to meet my parents with my mentality, Yuan Yanxi doesn't talk about martial arts at all.

With Lu Xizhi's small arms and short legs, he only slipped 50 meters away, so he couldn't be Yuan Yanxi's opponent.

The man jumped a few meters in front of her with just a light leap. He opened his hands, and Lu Xizhi plunged into his arms before he could brake in time.

"Xixi, if you like throwing yourself into your arms like this, then we do this every day. Father's other courtyard has been carefully taken care of. You will know when you go in and take a look, good boy."

Lu Xizhi raised her head angrily: "Is there anyone like you? Just bring it here, without any mental preparation."

"We're just admiring the flowers and wandering around the garden. What else do you need to prepare? Huh?" Yuan Yanxi suppressed a dull smile.

"Don't pretend to be confused." Seeing his unscrupulous appearance, Lu Xizhi was even more annoyed, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push him away, so he could only pretend to be indifferent: "I want to go home."

"Second Young Master." The two were still in a stalemate, but a middle-aged woman's voice came from not far behind. It turned out that the porter had opened the main door early, and the housekeeper Zhu Shi came forward with a smile.

Yuan Yanxi's voice rang in his ears: "This is Zhu Shi, the wife of the steward of the other courtyard, just call her Mrs. Zhu."

After glaring at him fiercely, Lu Xizhi took two steps back and straightened her clothes. Now that she was here, she stopped being coy and hypocritical, turned her face away, and called Mrs. Zhu with a smile.

Zhu's appearance is about forty, gentle and beautiful, it can be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young, she spoke in a soft voice, pursed her lips and smiled in response.

Zhu said with a smile: "You are finally here. Lord Hou has been waiting for a long time, so he sent me to wait here."

Lu Xizhi scolded Yuan Yanxi again from the bottom of her heart, and then she pursed her lips and smiled, and walked into Luyuan, the other courtyard of Marquis Zhenyuan, with the Zhu family.

Stepping into Lu Garden, Lu Xizhi slowly relaxed, looking at this beautiful place, Yuan Yanxi guided her while walking in a low voice.

The Luyuan of the Zhenguohou Mansion, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, has its own aristocratic heritage. Wherever you look, it is not luxurious. There is a heavy feeling.

After entering the Thinking Hall, the furnishings inside began to become rich and luxurious.

I heard that Marquis Zhenyuan had been ill for a while, and he has not yet recovered his vitality, and his face still looks a bit sick, but it can be seen that he deliberately wore dark green clothes, and he looked very energetic.

Standing beside Marquis Zhenyuan was a middle-aged man, tall and full of heroism and bravery, he looked like a soldier who had experienced many battles.On the other side, there was a middle-aged man who looked like a manager. He must be Mrs. Zhu's husband.

The three people on the opposite side were also looking at Lu Xizhi.

The man who looked like a military general had a look of amazement in his eyes, and even Marquis Zhenyuan secretly praised Lu Xizhi's beauty in his heart.

Of course, compared to making Yuan Yanxi look up to Lu Xizhi, her outstanding beauty is second to none. At only fifteen years old, she has solved several major cases and even received the favor of the emperor in person. This little girl has a bright future ahead of her. .

With the Yuan family's family status, it is easy to marry a lady from a famous family, but which lady can have her level of ability?
Lu Xizhi settled down, smiled and went forward to salute: "Xizhi has met Lord Hou."

Yuan Renjie smiled cheerfully: "Get up quickly, Jingming told me a lot about you, hehe, sit down quickly."

Lu Xizhi sat down gracefully.

Marquis Zhenyuan was very happy, and asked the people around him to pass a box, and took out a bracelet from it: "Good boy, this is a gift from Jingming's mother to his future daughter-in-law, it's not very expensive, but it's her personal belonging .”

Lu Xizhi was taken aback, but quickly covered it up, and subconsciously looked up at Yuan Yanxi.

The man nodded at her and winked.

However, in the eyes of Lord Hou, such a scene is just a young unmarried couple flirting with each other. It can be seen that the relationship is very good. He became more and more happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is my deputy general Qi Muran, and this is Steward Zhang from Luyuan. .”

As soon as Lu Xizhi met, the two also knew what the meeting was like today, and they both bowed their hands in return.

After exchanging pleasantries, Marquis Zhenyuan was no different from ordinary parents, and began to greet him with greetings.

Yuan Renjie asked her with concern: "Aren't you very tired when you work in Dongchang every day?"

Lu Xizhi responded with a smile: "That's not true. I just look at the files when I'm free on weekdays. I only need to go out to investigate when there is a case. With the help of Beixue, yamen Zhao Butou and Qi Bukuai, I'm not tired."

Heh, even giving his own powerful bodyguard to a girl, the brat will please her.Yuan Renjie squinted at his son and gave him an appreciative look.

"Miss Lu is quite similar to your father."

"Master Hou knows my father?"

"Haha, I have indeed met Mr. Lu a few times, and his honesty and inhumanity are always impressive."

"My father does have some shame, but he is honest and kind, and loyal to the country. I also want to be like my father and never let any bad guy go." The unique charm of the youngest daughter's family is fully reflected.

"Haha, good..."

The chat went very smoothly, and then Zhenyuanhou rarely wanted to go around, so he led Lu Xizhi to walk around Lu Garden.

This simple 'family banquet' was more relaxed and harmonious than Lu Xizhi expected.

There were no outsiders, and Vice General Qi was also at the same table. The dishes were rich and delicious. Yuan Renjie was in a good mood with a smile on his face, and would pick up food for Lu Xizhi from time to time.

After finishing the meal, Lu Xizhi sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

After all, Yuan Renjie was still recovering from a serious illness, and his face was slightly tired. Hearing that Lu Xizhi was going to leave, he also smiled and said: "I'm getting old, but I'm really tired. When I have free time, little girl, just come and talk to me with Jingming." say."

Lu Xizhi responded with a smile: "Okay, I will come and visit Lord Hou when I have time."

Marquis Zhenyuan's eyes flashed brightly, "It will be a good day in a few days, I should go to the Lu family to propose marriage in person, haha." Then he told Yuan Yanxi: "Jingming, give me a little girl."

In the end, he coughed twice again: "Hmph, brat, you are not allowed to bully others. After all, you are not married yet. You must restrain yourself and be polite, and don't act willfully."

Yuan Yanxi: "..."

Lu Xizhi: "..."

Her cheeks were slightly hot and flushed.

Yuan Yanxi has a thick skin, with the honesty of a gentleman: "Father, don't worry, a gentleman will not bully the dark room. I always understand this truth."

Yuan Renjie glanced at his son, and finally saved him some face in front of his future daughter-in-law, without saying anything more.

Lu Xizhi's face turned red all the way from Sijing Hall to the carriage, but fortunately it was already dark, and the light from the lantern was dim, covering her flushed cheeks and behind her ears.

Only Yuan Yanxi could see a thing or two, he held back his laughter all the way, until he got on the carriage, Lu Xizhi glared at him with a blushing pretty face, he finally couldn't help it, and grinned.
