After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 92: In broad daylight, not very decent

"Yes, she is still at mother's place, chatting with her." Lu Xingyan had an idea and said immediately.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "I understand."

Lu Xingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Lu Xingzhi was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and looked at him, "The day after tomorrow is the military competition. Are you ready?"

"Everything is ready, brother, don't worry." Lu Xingyan nodded heavily, looking confident.

Lu Xingzhi felt relieved and was about to take a step when he suddenly saw a small piece of light purple clothing on the ground behind Lu Xingyan.

He paused, slowly rubbed his fingers, and then suddenly said: "Ayan, there is a mouse under your feet."

"What?" Lu Xingyan was startled and subconsciously moved a step to the side.

Qiao Jingjing, who was squatting on the ground, was immediately exposed to Lu Xingzhi's eyes.

"What a big rat!" Lu Xingzhi said calmly as he looked at the girl squatting there with a look of astonishment on her face.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Only then did Lu Xingyan realize that he had been deceived. He looked at Qiao Jingjing with a guilty look on his face, "Sister-in-law, I..."

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said with a disappointed look on her face: "Lu Xingyan, are you afraid of mice?"

Lu Xingyan's fair face turned red instantly, and he defended: "I, I'm not afraid of mice, but my eldest brother suddenly said that, so I subconsciously moved aside..."

"How long will you continue to squat, madam?" A faint smile flashed in Lu Xingzhi's lowered black eyes.

Qiao Jingjing stood up politely.

Thinking of her behavior, she subconsciously explained: "I was playing cards with my parents just now. I sat down for too long, so I squatted down to stretch my muscles."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and said, "Have you ever heard of Madam?"

"what?"

"It is necessary to conceal the truth."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"Tell me, why are you avoiding me?" Lu Xingzhi asked in a deep voice.

Qiao Jingjing's eyes flickered, and she asked instead: "Can you tell me, husband, what are you looking for me for?"

Lu Xing knew: "I am free today and can guide you in practicing calligraphy."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Sure enough, her sixth sense is very accurate.

She thought of this the first time she saw Lu Xingzhi.

It was just as she expected.

Seeing her silence, Lu Xingzhi immediately understood.

So this girl is avoiding her because she doesn't want to practice calligraphy?

His handsome brows frowned slightly.

After a moment, he said without any doubt: "Since I have met Madam here, I will not have to go to Dexin Hall again. Madam, please come with me to the study now."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Lu Xingzhi ignored her and turned around towards the study.

Looking at his tall figure, Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lu Xingyan hesitantly.

Lu Xingyan shook his head for a moment, "I can't help you."

"I haven't spoken yet." Qiao Jingjing said angrily.

If this kid had been so smart just now, she wouldn't have been discovered by Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingyan said angrily: "Isn't it just practicing calligraphy? What's the big deal? Sister-in-law, just go to the study with me."

"My back hurts when I stand and talk!" Qiao Jingjing said displeased.

"But practicing calligraphy is really no big deal." Lu Xingyan frowned.

Qiao Jingjing sighed, "It's not a big deal. The problem is that once I enter your brother's study, it won't be that easy for me to get out."

In response, Lu Xingyan nodded with deep sympathy, "Brother has high requirements. If you don't practice your calligraphy well, he won't let you go."

Qiao Jingjing was dejected. "However, not everyone can enter my brother's study." Lu Xingyan then added.

Qiao Jingjing rolled her eyes at him.

So, should she feel honored?

"Sister-in-law, go quickly. If you don't go, I will come to catch you again." Lu Xingyan pointed at the man who stopped in front of him, chuckled, and hurried away.

Qiao Jingjing took a look and saw Lu Xingzhi waiting there.

She paused, then followed him bravely.

Lu Xingzhi took steps again when he saw her following her.

Qiao Jingjing followed him with a heavy heart.

After thinking for a while, she took two quick steps and walked side by side with the man.

Lu Xingzhi glanced sideways at her but said nothing.

Looking at the handsome man beside her, Qiao Jingjing blinked and broke the silence, "Husband, actually I can't write, so it doesn't matter, right?"

"That's not right." Lu Xingzhi looked sideways at her.

Qiao Jingjing choked, "But I can't write, haven't I grown so big?"

"Yes, if you can't write, it won't prevent you from growing up. But Jingjing, that was in the village before. If you couldn't write, it didn't have any impact, because most of the people you came into contact with and interacted with were also illiterate, but Now that you have arrived in the capital, if you are still illiterate and unable to write, you will not be able to speak." Lu Xingzhi said slowly.

His sudden address made Qiao Jingjing startled.

Others also called her Jingjing, but for some reason, the word Jingjing had a unique taste when it came out of his mouth.

Her heart palpitated.

But soon, she calmed down and asked, "Is it because you are afraid that I will embarrass you?"

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, his eyes fell on her face, calmly and confidently, "If I am afraid that you will embarrass me, I don't have to fulfill our engagement."

Qiao Jingjing paused. Indeed, if Lu Xingzhi cared about this, he could have broken off the engagement when they were in Xingzi Village.

"Then why do you insist on me practicing calligraphy?" She was puzzled.

"In order for you to better establish a foothold in this capital and not be bullied by others." Lu Xingzhi spoke slowly but firmly.

"Is it for myself?" Qiao Jingjing was surprised.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing was speechless.

It is true that Lu Xingzhi doesn't need her to be proud of him at all, he himself is very capable.

"If you really don't want to practice calligraphy, then forget it." After a moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly said.

Qiao Jingjing looked at him in surprise, "Really?"

"I can restrain your person, but I cannot restrain your heart. If your mind is not on practicing calligraphy, it will be useless no matter how I restrain you. Instead of this, it is better not to waste time in the first place." Lu Xingzhi said calmly road.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing felt ashamed.

She bit her lip and couldn't help but said, "It's not that I don't want to practice calligraphy with you, but if it takes too long, I'll get bored."

Lu Xingzhi paused and said warmly: "I didn't think well. That's good. From now on, you can come to my study every afternoon and practice calligraphy for half an hour."

Qiao Jingjing was delighted, "Really?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

"Then let's leave quickly." Qiao Jingjing held his arm happily.

Lu Xingzhi was startled and looked down at the girl beside him.

"What?" Qiao Jingjing blinked and looked back.

Seeing that she was still unconscious, Lu Xingzhi coughed lightly and withdrew his arm, "It's not very appropriate in broad daylight."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Looking at the man who was moving forward with his hands behind his back, it took her a long time to react.

She curled her lips and cursed: What a pedantic person, wasn't it just because she held her arm? His lecturing tone is really like that of an old master!
When she arrived in the study, Lu Xingzhi took out the writing brush she used to practice calligraphy last time, spread out the paper, and wrote the word "Lu".

After writing, he raised his eyes to look at the girl standing aside, paused, and said slowly: "Come here."
