Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 139 Be My Woman!
Ankangbo Mansion.

The weather was cold, so Lu Xinyan stayed at the mansion waiting for news, but didn't go anywhere.

"Miss, Uncle Tian came to report that Mrs. Jinfeng sent a letter!" Qingtong said outside.

"Bring it in." Not long after breakfast, Lu Xinyan was feeling drowsy, and she regained her energy when she heard the words, and immediately sat upright.

Qingtong pushed the door open and passed the letter to Lu Xinyan.

Lu Xinyan took a look and said, "Mrs. Jinfeng said, Uber asked me to meet at Liuxianglou on the morning of the first day of the new year, and have a personal interview."

"I can't tell that Jinfeng is keeping the promise." Qingtong said.

"It seems that I underestimated her before." Lu Xinyan nodded in agreement.

Uncle Tian's people have detected the servants in Jinfeng's house, and bought a lot of wine and meat yesterday, Lu Xinyan originally thought that if there is no news from Jinfeng today, she would think of another way to meet Wan Boke As a result, Jinfeng kept the promise.

She didn't know that Jin Feng didn't want to tell Uber guest on purpose, she planned to treat her as an ordinary person who came to visit and wanted to do business with Uber guest, and just talked about it, but she didn't know that Uber guest saw her and sent her to him. Curious about Jin Feng's paintings, Jin Feng had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Miss, who do you plan to bring to the appointment tomorrow?" Qingtong said.

Lu Xinyan said casually: "You and Baizhi, Ziyan is driving."

"Miss, do you want to take more people with you? Xing Luoxia knows two people, so you can take anyone you want." Qingtong said: "The Uber guest was born in the green forest, and he doesn't act according to common sense. I'm worried that if something goes wrong, we will No one can take care of you and Bai Zhi."

Lu Xinyan thought for a while, "Then bring Xingluo."

Xiao He, who happened to come in, was unhappy when she heard it, "Miss, why didn't you take me with you when you went out to play?"

Qingtong glared at her, "Miss is going to do business, why go out to play? Do you think Miss is just like you, her mind is full of fun?"

After being scolded, Xiao He kept her mouth shut and dared not speak out.

Seeing this, Lu Xinyan comforted her and said, "Xiao He, after these two days are over, let's go to the Hou Mansion in a few days, visit grandma, and go out to play with Sigu, okay?"

This uncle's mansion is more regulated than Hou's mansion, Lu Xinyan was worried that Xiao He would be seen and bullied by Lu Xinwan and the others when she was wandering around in the mansion, so she was restrained from letting her go out alone.

In addition to the cold weather, Uncle Tian didn't let Uncle Tian prepare those deck chairs and swings, but this girl was bored to death.

"Yeah," Xiao He nodded quickly, glanced at Qing Tong, and said triumphantly, "Miss still loves me."

Qingtong squinted at her, Xiaohe immediately grinned, made a face at Qingtong, and ran out.

"Miss, look at her you are used to." Qingtong complained.

"I'm the only one used to it?" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows.

Qingtong muttered a few words in a low voice, but fell silent.

At this time Xing Luo knocked on the door from the outside, "Miss, it seems that relatives have come to the house."

Since returning to the uncle's mansion, Xing Luo conscientiously checked the situation around the mansion, and found that there was no memorial tablet for Lin Ruyue in the ancestral hall, so Qingtong asked her to walk around the mansion every day, paying attention to the unusual places in the mansion.

"What kind of relatives?" The Ankangbo Mansion is different from the Guangping Marquis Mansion, with a thriving descendant. From generation to generation, although the Lu family has few talented people, the number is still huge.

"It's the eldest son of the Grand Master's cousin, Lu Congguang, the sixth-rank general judge of Qingzhou. According to the ranking, the uncle should call him the second brother." Xing Luo said: "I heard that he is the best candidate to succeed Qingzhou Tongzhi He Qingshan."

The case of He Qingshan was closed on the 28th of last month, implicating dozens of officials from the DPRK and China. It is the biggest case of this year, and everyone in the capital knows it.

It's not surprising that Xing Luo knew about this, but why did she know that Lu Congguang was going to succeed He Qingshan?Lu Xinyan couldn't help looking at Xing Luo, her eyes flickering.

"Miss, what you said just now is half based on guessing, and half is based on listening to the discussions of the boys at the door." Xing Luo took the initiative to explain, "Master Lu, as the general judge of Qingzhou, returned to Beijing suddenly at this time. The Qingshan case has just been concluded, and the position of the Qingzhou co-prefect has not yet been confirmed. Master Lu probably came to Beijing for this matter. In addition, the entourage who returned to Beijing with Master Lu just now had no intention of saying a few words to the servants in the mansion who were inquiring about the news. I also came here for the position of Qingzhou Tongzhi."

"You're right." Lu Xinyan replied casually, but in her heart she felt that this girl was too eye-catching.

Seeing her expression, Xing Luo said anxiously: "Miss, did I say something that shouldn't be said and made you angry?"

"No, you did a good job!" Lu Xinyan quickly raised a smile and praised, "I was thinking about what you said just now. The second cousin should be like what you said. Most likely, he came to Beijing for this fellow acquaintance."

During dinner, Lu Congyuan called all the family members of Bo's house together, and introduced Lu Congguang and Lu Ziwen, the eldest son of Lu Congguang, to everyone.

Lu Xinyan took advantage of Lu Congyuan's introduction, and looked at Lu Congguang and Lu Ziwen.

The appearance of both of them is good, but compared with the family of Bofu, they are still much worse.

Lu Congguang is around forty, and his dark blue casual clothes look very calm. Although his grade is the same as Lu Congyuan's, they are both grade six, but one is in charge of the royal horse, and the other is in charge of state affairs, the latter is much more important!Therefore, standing together with Lu Congyuan, his demeanor was obviously more restrained and majestic.

However, his son Lu Ziwen, compared with Lao Tzu, except for his superficial resemblance, his whole demeanor is far worse. Comfortable.

Lu Congyuan probably heard some rumors, and he was very warm to this second brother who rarely met, so he dragged him to introduce them one by one, "Second brother, this is the eldest son Ziyi, this is the second son Zili..."

After the men's family finished the introduction, they began to introduce the women's family. I don't know if it was Lu Xinyan's illusion. I always felt that after hearing her name, Lu Congguang's eyes stayed on her for a few more seconds.

Lu Ziwen looked at the beautiful cousins, and couldn't close his mouth with joy, "Dear sisters, if you need help with anything in the future, just ask your cousin, you're welcome, if you can do it, you must try your best ..."

He chattered non-stop, no matter how forced the smiles on Lu Xinyan's faces were.

It wasn't until Lu Congguang glanced there from the corner of his eye that Lu Ziwen shut up.

-

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Lu Xinyan took Qingtong, Baizhi, Xingluo and the other three out of the house.

The temperature in Tianwu's capital has dropped again in the past few days, and the cold wind is blowing. Although the sun is shining, it can't feel any warmth.

Lu Xinyan asked someone to put a layer of cowhide on the outside of the carriage, so that the cold wind could not blow in, but the inside of the carriage was still comfortable.

Liuxiang Building is located in the center of Nanjie Street, and there are lively hawking sounds all the way. The cold wind can't blow into the carriage, but the smell is everywhere, fried, fried, sour, garlic, leek, etc. This kind of aroma went straight into the carriage.

"It's so fragrant!" Qingtong took a deep breath, even though she went out with a full stomach, she still couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the fragrance.

It would be great if Xiao He was here!Qingtong couldn't help but miss that little girl, if Xiaohe was here, she would definitely not be able to withstand the temptation, she yelled to get out of the car and buy a bowl of hot and sour noodles, some chive dumplings and egg pancakes.

At that time, she can pretend to be reluctant and help Xiao He share her worries!Now that Xiao He is gone, she is the oldest here, so I am really embarrassed to speak.

Bai Zhi secretly winks at Lu Xinyan and Xing Luo, Bai Zhi and Qing Tong have been together the longest and know Qing Tong's temperament best.

Lu Xinyan looked at Qingtong amusedly, and waited maliciously for Qingtong to speak up.

In order to please his immediate boss, Xing Luo touched his stomach and said embarrassedly: "Miss, I didn't eat enough this morning, and as soon as this scent wafted in, my stomach started to rebel."

Qingtong's eyes lit up, this girl is not bad, she is eye-catching enough!

Lu Xinyan resisted the thought of teasing, "Tell Ziyan to stop the car and buy whatever you want to eat."

Xing Luo was about to open his mouth, when he heard a scream from outside, the car body suddenly jerked violently, and Qing Tong, who was sitting near the entrance of the carriage, flew out with her.

Qingtong grabbed her quickly, and Lu Xinyan and Baizhi inside were not much better, they rolled off the stool and had intimate contact with the carriage floor.

"Ziyan, how do you drive?" Qingtong said angrily.

"Little Miss, I... I bumped into someone." Ziyan's young voice trembled.

As soon as the words fell, a man cried and shouted, "Dad, Dad, what's the matter with you, wake up, you must not have any accidents! It will be your fiftieth birthday in a few days, and my son is preparing to give it to you." You have a good celebration, I wish you a long life! You wake up, father, you can't leave your son and leave like this!"

Lu Xinyan and the others quickly tidied their clothes in the car, and were about to get out of the car, the man who was crying miserably yelled again, "Quick! Surround this carriage! If you kill someone and want to run, at the feet of the emperor, there are No kingly law? I beg everyone! I can’t let my father die in such an unexplained way! I beg everyone!”

As he yelled and begged, many people who hadn't seen what happened surrounded the carriage emotionally out of sympathy for the weak.

Lu Xinyan, who was about to get out of the car, heard something wrong when the man yelled: how did he know that the carriage was about to run away?

She made a quick decision, "Qingtong Xingluo, open the way ahead, Bai Zhi, go down and check the injured."

Lu Xinyan, who has seen too many porcelain-touching methods in modern times, after hearing what the man said, intuitively thought that she had met an ancient professional porcelain-touching household.

"Hey, the people inside, if you kill someone, come out and give an explanation!"

"That's right, don't think that hiding in the carriage will save you from disaster! Killing people pays for their lives!"

"Come out, come out quickly!..."

Someone waved his fist at the carriage, at this time the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Qing Tong's sharp eyes swept away, and the passerby who was waving his fist just now shouted loudly, and immediately died down.

Bai Zhi got out of the car following Qingtong, and saw an old man covered in mud and blood lying on the side of the wheel, his eyes closed, his chest no longer heaving, Bai Zhi immediately stepped forward, and squatted down to check.

Xingluo accompanied Lu Xinyan to the side of the pale Ziyan, "Ziyan, what's going on?"

"Miss," Ziyan's face was pale, but he was still very organized, "this is the central street, people come and go, my carriage is driving very slowly, I didn't hit people on my own initiative. This old man suddenly ran over from there, I I tried to dodge it as much as possible, the horse didn't step on or kick him, but the wheel hit him, and for some reason he fell to the ground!"

"You are talking nonsense! Obviously you hit my dad! My dad was standing here waiting for me. When he saw your carriage hit him, he wanted to dodge but didn't dodge. That's why he lost his life!" The man walked over angrily, "Looking at the dress of your carriage, it must belong to a rich family. Maybe someone in the family is an official! Don't try to bully others and turn right and wrong by relying on the power and wealth of your family. Will not compromise!"

"Okay!" Someone in the crowd burst into applause.

From ancient times to the present, no matter what era, rich people have always been a minority, so hatred of the rich is a normal state, it seems that as long as they are rich, they will bully others and be unreasonable!When having money and having power meets having no money and no power, the public will tend to favor the latter. If someone dares to stand up for power without fear of power, he is simply a hero in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Li Hu's words won the approval of many people, and they all looked at Lu Xinyan and the others with the same hatred.

Ziyan has kung fu, although his driving skills are not as experienced as Uncle Tian's, but Lu Xinyan absolutely believes that when moving so slowly and without any accidents, Ziyan will not make a sudden mistake and let the carriage rush towards the old man.

She had already decided in her heart that this incident must be a case of Pengci, and that old man, nine times out of ten, was cheating his death!
"My maid has some medical skills, let's talk about it after she checks on your father's situation!" Lu Xinyan gave Li Hu a cold look, "But I don't understand something very well, and I want to ask you for advice."

She didn't put pressure on it deliberately, but how can ordinary people bear the natural demeanor around her?Li Hu couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xinyan smiled but said: "You are so filial to your father, why didn't you send your father to the hospital to find a doctor for treatment, but called him dead immediately, and asked people to surround my carriage?"

"I...I," Li Hu was stunned, and soon came back to his senses, "I sniffed him, and he was out of breath!"

Lu Xinyan quickly asked, "Are you a doctor?"

Li Hu was stunned, subconsciously said: "No."

"You're not a doctor, so why draw conclusions? Don't you know that there is a situation called suspended animation? Sometimes it looks like you've lost your breath, but in fact there is a breath stuck in your chest, and you can't go up or down. As long as you open up the breath, you will wake up." Come here!" Lu Xinyan said.

"Nonsense, how can there be such a miraculous thing?" Li Hu roared.

This is when someone from the onlookers uttered, "Don't tell me, when I was young, there was an old man in the village next door. The doctor said that he had passed away, but when the body was mortuary for seven days and was about to be buried, the old man suddenly woke up. He was no different from ordinary people, and he lived for more than ten years before he died."

"I've heard people say that the reason for the first seven is exactly that. One is to let the dead relatives come back to see, and the other is to be afraid of the suspended animation situation you just mentioned."

"Hearing what you said, this man handles his father's affairs too casually, and he doesn't feel like a dutiful son!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation for the sake of his filial piety and his natural hatred of the rich, so they surrounded Lu Xinyan's carriage.

Now after listening and thinking about it, I found that there seemed to be something strange about it, so it gradually dispersed, and pointed the finger at Li Hu at the same time.

Li Hu became anxious when he saw this, "Don't listen to her nonsense, rich people are used to talking nonsense and confusing right and wrong! My father has really died, if you don't believe me, come and see for yourself!"

With this roar, some people began to be dubious again.

After careful examination for a while, Bai Zhi stood up, walked to Lu Xinyan's side, frowned, "Miss, that man has indeed passed away."

"Really dead?" Lu Xinyan was stunned.

"Look, I just said that my father is dead, and now even their maids say that, which means I didn't lie just now!" Li Hu couldn't help but feel complacent.

Xing Luo couldn't help but said: "Your father is dead, why do you look very happy?"

Li Hu quickly stopped his expression and showed a sad expression, "Daddy, daddy, you died so wrongly! My son is so wronged too, but he just wanted to get justice for your death, but he was wronged as unfilial! Dad, my son is not filial~ woo woo~"

He cried while talking, and ran to the old man, knelt down and wailed, and many onlookers turned to him again.

Ziyan's already pale face became even whiter than paper. It's not that he never killed people, he also acted chivalrously in private and killed people who deserved to be killed, but now he killed people in public, everyone saw it, and the government If he pursues it, he will have to kill for his life!
"What's the cause of death?" Lu Xinyan rubbed the center of her eyebrows. How could such a strange thing be a real death?
"Where he fell, there was a sharp rock that just pierced his neck." Bai Zhi said: "From the cause of death, it is impossible to judge whether he accidentally fell down during the avoidance process, or whether he hit it on purpose and accidentally fell. Inverted."

"Daddy, daddy, you died so badly~" As soon as Bai Zhi finished speaking, Li Hu began to cry loudly again.

From Lu Xinyan's point of view, the old man's death was mostly caused by the latter, but anyway, now that someone is dead, she is in a hurry to leave, and she heard that Uber hates people who are not punctual when they ask him to meet, so she decided to calm down !

"Uncle, you can't come back from death, please mourn!" Lu Xinyan walked over and discussed: "How your father's death happened, I can't tell for a while, but since your father passed away, the dead are the most important, I am willing to compensate What about your loss, 100 taels?"

100 taels?The onlookers gasped in unison, 100 taels can cover the expenses of an ordinary family for decades!
This man is really a blessing in disguise!Many people think so.

Unexpectedly, Li Hu stood up aggressively, "You guys killed my father, and you want to pay for it so easily with money. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? I am only a relative of my father. A family member is gone! You pay my father!"

Lu Xinyan's face turned cold, "If you think 100 taels is not enough, you can make another price! If you don't want to use money to settle it, how do you want to solve it? For the sake of the deceased, I can do it, I will do it !"

A lot of people around started to feel sour, "Your father is not good at himself and was pierced by a sharp stone in the neck. The lady is willing to compensate now. You still want to talk to the lion. It is really unkind. A 50-year-old can't live for a few years. How can a person who can’t do much be worth 100 taels? If you are still greedy, it’s too much!”

Li Hu had already been moved when he heard the 100 taels. The other party invited him to come and did not give him so much money, but if he took the money and regretted it, not only would he not have to mess around in the future, but he would also be hunted down, so he had to be tough. Scalp said: "Who said I want money? My father has worked so hard to raise me, family love is greater than family affection, blood is thicker than water, can it be measured by silver? You two, don't treat me like a villain." , Save the belly of a gentleman! I don’t want money, I want an explanation!”

His tough attitude made many people stand by him, "Good job! As a child, you should be like this! As a human being, you should be like this! You can't be lewd when you are rich, and you can't be subdued when you are mighty!"

Lu Xinyan was too lazy to talk to him, "I admire your integrity! But, what do you want? Please say it directly!"

The task Li Hu received was just to delay Lu Xinyan, but now that Lu Xinyan asked this question again and again, he didn't know what to say, "I...I just want to seek justice for my father!"

Seeing his appearance, something flashed through Lu Xinyan's mind, and then she sneered, "Since you don't want to be private anymore, you can report to the government, and you can do whatever the government decides!"

She told several people: "Xingluo, you stay with Ziyan, Qingtong Baizhi, let's go."

"No!" Li Hu stretched out his arms and stopped in front of them, "You can't go!"

Lu Xinyan stopped Qingtong who was about to make a move, and asked back: "Why can't I leave? The driver who killed your father, I have already left you here. With so many people watching, are you afraid that he will run away?"

Li Hu scratched his neck, "You...you are his master, you...you can't go!"

Lu Xinyan said coldly: "Which law of Tianwu stipulates that if a servant makes a mistake, the master must be punished along with him?"

Her face turned cold, and her whole body was calm and prestige, Li Hu could not help but take two steps back.

"What's more, was your father really killed by one of my servants? Just now, for the sake of the deceased, I don't care about you, but since you don't want to be private, I will definitely investigate to the end!"

Her voice was high and aggressive, and Li Hu took a few steps back.

"If you stop me again, don't blame my subordinates for being rude!"

What Lu Xinyan said was reasonable, Li Hu shouted in a hurry: "Do you think that you are Miss Lu from Ankangbo Mansion, so you can use your power to bully others?"

The onlookers exploded, "So she is Miss Lu from Ankangbo Mansion~"

"What do you mean? You know her?"

"It's the one who reconciled with the prince of the Guangping Marquis."

"Oh, I see. I heard that he was the winner of the Huayi Festival. He even entered the palace to perform for the emperor and queen mother, and won a lot of rewards."

"Huh, really? I don't think it's that powerful!"

The crowd of onlookers quickly shifted from the death incident to the gossip incident.

After all, it is not their relatives who died, no matter how sympathetic they are, it is only a moment. The life and death of outsiders is not as important as worrying about what to eat at night, let alone this kind of gossip about the rich and powerful?After passing this village, there is no such shop!
Lu Xinyan didn't bother to talk to him, "Qingtong, let's go!"

"The Ankang Mansion is bullying people! Miss Lu of the Ankang Mansion is bullying people!" Li Hu yelled loudly.

To be honest, Lu Xinyan didn't care about the reputation of the Ankangbo mansion at all, but Li Hu's yelling in the street like this was really annoying, and it finally involved her.

Usually when encountering this kind of scoundrel, Qingtong can solve it with one finger, but today's luck is unlucky, he really died, it's not good to teach him face to face, what a headache!
Seeing the time passing by, Lu Xinyan became restless.

At this time, a deep and deep man's voice came, "Master, you can testify for Miss Lu, that these two bumped into each other on purpose just now!"

The gossip stopped immediately. It happened so suddenly that no one paid any attention to those two people. Out of sympathy for the weak, everyone chose to believe Ahu's words, thinking that it was Lu Xinyan's driver who accidentally ran over and killed his father.

As a result, someone came out to testify now that these two people bumped into each other by themselves!It's really uncomfortable to feel this kind of kindness being taken advantage of by others!
The fiery eyes of the crowd looked at Li Hu with 'enthusiasm', Li Hu's complexion suddenly turned pale, "No... no... it was hit by her driver..."

Lu Xinyan didn't look at him, but looked at the man who rescued her. The man was about forty, tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. His eyes were as sharp and fierce as a wolf's. There was a scar cut off from the end of one eyebrow.

He got up from a teahouse on the opposite side, dressed in a green brocade robe, with a vigorous figure, full of momentum, and full of masculinity.

Lu Xinyan nodded, "Thank you, sir, for coming out to testify!"

"My surname is You." The man cupped his hands.

"Uberke Youda Master?" Lu Xinyan breathed out, and after a closer look, compared with Uncle Tian's description before, she found that the appearance was exactly the same as this person, and it seemed that it was indeed Wanboke.

But shouldn't he be waiting for her in Liuxiang Tower right now?Why did you come out from the opposite teahouse?Still testify for yourself?

It was precisely because of this that Lu Xinyan didn't connect him with Uber.

But since he has been here all the time, he must already know who she is, so there is no need to introduce himself anymore, Lu Xinyan said: "Master You Da, I'm sorry, something unexpected happened, and my appointment with you was late."

"It's okay, someone deliberately obstructed it, and didn't want the eldest lady to see me, no wonder the eldest lady." Uberke didn't care, waved his hand boldly, and said: "I just saw the bumping incident in the teahouse opposite. It's clear, if the government comes, I'm willing to testify, so please don't worry, miss!"

Ordinary people don't like to deal with the government the most, Uber Ke even dared to speak out the words of testimony, which shows that he really saw the scene just now.

The people who had been encouraged by Li Hu just now became even more angry when they heard the words, and looked at Li Hu angrily again.

I don't know when I look back...

People are gone!

"Bah, liar!"

"It's unlucky, good intentions are not rewarded! They were actually used!"

"Waste my good intentions, scum! Curse him for having a son without a fart!"

The person concerned left, and the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only the old man lying there dying.

It was just for a little money, but in the end, he accidentally lost his life!Poor and pathetic!

"Thank you, Master You, for coming out to testify!" Lu Xinyan thanked sincerely.

"Miss, you don't need to thank me. Actually, I just came here, and I didn't see anything." Uberke laughed heartily, and his whole chest was trembling, "If it wasn't for his guilt, how could he be scared by me Walk?"

Lu Xinyan: ...

She smiled slightly: "No matter what, Master Youda helped me out in the end. For this, I should thank you."

You Boke frankly said: "Speaking of this matter, I should have nothing to do with it. Missy is troubled because of me, and I should share one or two for Missy."

From the Uber guest's point of view, it seems to be a little different from the rumors. He has the boldness and righteousness in the rumors, but he is not cold and harsh. He looks like a bold northern man!
Lu Xinyan smiled again and said, "I don't know if today's appointment with Master You still counts?"

"Since what happened just now was caused by me and has nothing to do with the eldest lady, today's appointment is naturally counted." Uber guest said: "But the news of your meeting with me has leaked out, so it must be impossible to go to Liuxiang Building, why not change it to How about going to Xiangmanlou near here?"

Xiangmanlou is also a well-known restaurant in Beijing. Although it is not as old as Liuxianglou and Liu's Restaurant, its business reputation can be squeezed into the top ten restaurants in Beijing.

"According to Master You's opinion." Lu Xinyan raised her slender hand slightly, "Master You, please."

You Boke said: "Missy doesn't want to pursue what happened just now, but I need to find out who is behind the scenes. Missy is the first step, and I will explain a few words to my subordinates."

Lu Xinyan was noncommittal, and led a few people towards Xiangmanlou first.

After watching her leave, Uber recruited two people casually, whispered a few words to one of them, and then said to the other: "Go and find out, which lady was behind that incident!"

The fur dealers in the capital know very well about Uber’s business nature. You can try your best to please him. If you are happy, you can get a lot of leather goods and the best price, but Uber will never allow those people to attack others. furriers, let them dominate by themselves, because at that time, he will no longer be in the hands of Uber customers to determine the price of fur goods.

So You Boke directly concluded that what happened to Lu Xinyan just now was definitely not caused by other fur shop owners in the capital, but by one of his concubine wives. He knew that he was going to meet Lu Xinyan, Miss Lu from the Ankangbo Mansion today. Deliberately do something.

As for the source of the news, it goes without saying that it must have come from Jinfeng, but Jinfeng has a good figure and good personality, and Uber is reluctant to bear it for a while. As for the other few who are already bored and dare to destroy his good deeds, then don't Blame him for being ruthless!
The business in Xiangmanlou is good, and there are a lot of customers before noon. Lu Xinyan asked for the best private room on the third floor, and waited for Uber customers to arrive.

Liuxu and colorful totems are everywhere in the private room, with a strong exotic style.

Lu Xinyan asked Xiaoer to wait outside first, "My guest will be arriving soon, please wait here for a while."

Those who can afford private rooms are rich if they are not expensive, so each private room on the third floor has one or two waiters dedicated to serving them.

"Understood, little one, do I need a pot of tea for you first?" the man asked thoughtfully.

"No need." Lu Xinyan waved her hand.

"The little one is waiting in front, call the little one whenever necessary."

Just as the guy left, Uber came in, and he said sincerely, "Sorry for keeping Miss waiting so long."

"You are welcome, Master You. I have just arrived." Lu Xinyan picked up the menu and handed it to him, "Whatever Master You want to eat, feel free to order. I am the host today. Firstly, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with Master You later. Take it as a reward for just breaking the siege."

"As long as Missy is willing, I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant." Uber took the menu, said with a half-smile, looked at it casually, and stretched out his hand to call the waiter, "These three dishes, go prepare first Miss, what do you want to order?"

Uber guest, a northerner, loves meat, three dishes, one lamb chop, one beef, and one pork, so Lu Xinyan ordered two more vegetarian dishes, "Brother, please hurry up."

It's not time for lunch yet, and most of them are drinking morning tea, so the five dishes will be served soon.

The Uber guest gnawed on the lamb steak with relish, and his movements were bold and uninhibited.

When Lu Xinyan went out, she ate a lot and her stomach was still full. After eating two mouthfuls of vegetarian dishes, she put down her chopsticks and sat quietly aside.

While tearing at the meat on the lamb chops, Uber said: "It's rare for me to come to Beijing. What I miss the most is the delicious lamb chops. It's made by a northern cook, and it's even more authentic than the ones I ate in my hometown in the north. ! So I went out on an empty stomach in the morning, just for this delicious lamb chop!"

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Then Master You should invite me to meet at Xiangmanlou, not Liuxianglou! Liuxianglou is a time-honored restaurant in the capital, and the taste is the taste of the people in the capital, but there is no mutton steak that Master You loves to eat! Master You Da had an empty stomach early in the morning, and was going to eat the delicious lamb chops, as if he had expected what would happen."

She speaks softly, every word is pearly.

Uber was stunned at first, and then laughed loudly, "Miss, don't you think that I arranged that scene just now? I admit that it was intentional by the people around me, but I didn't know it beforehand! What if I want to do something? , I don't like the kind of pediatric farce just now."

Lu Xinyan smiled but said nothing.

"It seems that Missy has misunderstood me a bit, I have to explain this carefully." Uberke pointed to the three meat dishes on the table, "I can eat three more servings like this! Even with Missy After a meal at Xiangmanlou, I can eat at least three lamb chops later. If you don’t believe me, Miss, I can prove it to you!”

He stretched out his hand to recruit a buddy, but Lu Xinyan stopped him with a smile, "No need, I believe You Da is the master."

Uber put down his hands, smiling all over his face, he had just gnawed on the lips of the lamb steak, which looked greasy, "Miss Xie for your trust."

Lu Xinyan said slowly: "I believe in You Da's appetite, not anything else."

Uber stopped his hand that was about to nibble on the lamb chops, "Why did Missy say that?"

"Just now when I asked someone to book a private room, I used my maid's name, and at the same time told the shopkeeper that I made an appointment with a guest surnamed Chen! I don't know how Master You knew that I was in this private room. " Lu Xinyan lowered her eyes, played with the teacup on the table, then raised her eyes sharply, "Unless this Xiangmanlou is owned by You Da, or this Xiangmanlou is owned by You Da, here People are all your people!"

Since Lu Xinyan took over the dowry from the Feng family, except for the strategic direction, she has almost been handed over to Mr. Li to manage, but as the big boss, she can't be too incompetent. Regarding the competition of various industries under her name She has also heard of opponents, including Liuxianglou and Xiangmanlou, which are listed as competitors of Liu's Restaurant.

The behind-the-scenes boss of Xiangmanlou is said to be a mysterious northerner. No one knows it. The moment she stepped into the store just now, Lu Xinyan suddenly remembered this matter, and then made a bold guess. In the end, she really guessed it right. .

You Boke laughed three times, and he did not hide his appreciation in the laughter, "Missy's intelligence is really rare in the world! It is more and more in line with my appetite!"

After he finished speaking, he began to attack the lamb chop in his hand again. It seemed that apart from the lamb chop, there was nothing here that could attract his attention.

Lu Xinyan waited patiently until he finished eating the three big plates of meat, then cleaned her hands and wiped her lips contentedly.

"Keep Miss waiting for a long time." Uber guest said embarrassedly: "I am a person who has a strong appetite. Once I see something delicious and I like it, I can't stop. I have to get it and eat it clean. .”

Lu Xinyan smiled with her lips curled up, and cut straight to the point, "Master You, I asked you to meet today because of the leather goods. I wonder how many orders you can give me? I know that there is a shortage of leather goods this winter, and the prices are skyrocketing. You can mention it, within a reasonable range, I will definitely satisfy You Da. "

"Missy is such a cheerful person!" After Uberke laughed, his eyes suddenly locked on Lu Xinyan tightly, "I can give all those leather goods to Missy for free, as long as Missy promises me one condition!"

"What conditions?" Lu Xinyan asked lightly.

"Be my woman!"

"I don't have a small appetite!" Lu Xinyan squeezed the teacup, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Uber's presumptuous eyes flicked across Lu Xinyan's body, "This Xiangmanlou is my territory, I advise Missy to be obedient."

Qingtong rushed forward angrily, Lu Xinyan stretched out her hand to stop her, a charming smile suddenly appeared on her originally half-smiling face.

She leaned back with great demeanor, put one hand on the table and tapped lightly, the smile on the corner of her lips was like a charming swirl, attracting people to sink involuntarily, her voice was soft and beautiful, "I am not casual, nor Restraint, it’s not impossible to find something I like! But before that, I have to inspect the goods first, so as not to find out that the goods are not right in the end, and it’s disgusting to death in vain.”

Want to force her?Ah!
tease her?Ah!
Do you think she is the young lady who never leaves the door in ancient times, and after hearing a few nasty words, she wants to wipe her neck and kill herself?
Lu Xinyan's bold words are really inconsistent with her status as an official lady, so this contrast makes Uber excited, "Whatever Missy wants to test, as long as Missy can say it, I will do it get!"

Lu Xinyan swept her eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said casually: "Master You Da, please take this guy out and have a look. If I like it, we can talk about everything."

It's really rare for this official lady to be so bold!Uberke became more and more excited, even breathing two minutes faster, and ordered: "You all go out! Close the door!"

Lu Xinyan smiled evilly, "Master You, I think you have misunderstood. I want to test this kind of thing in person. I'm not interested in doing it in private! My girl knows medicine and is familiar with the structure of the human body. It's just for her to distinguish!"

Uber has always been the only one who chooses women, so it is a shame to let a few women choose him!
His face turned cloudy, and the hearty smile he had deliberately maintained before disappeared instantly, turning into a cold and ruthless expression according to the rumors, "Miss, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine! I, Uber, consider myself to be a sympathetic person, if not If the other party doesn't know how to flatter, I won't be polite either!"

He slammed the cup hard, and more than twenty burly men broke in from the door, surrounding Lu Xinyan and the others.

You Boke laughed wildly, "Miss, I know that the maids around you are good at kung fu, so I specially found more than [-] brothers to play with her! Even if you can't beat them, you can hold them for half an hour! Half an hour An hour...doing anything is enough!"

At the end, she blinked at Lu Xinyan, waiting to see her complexion change drastically, begging for mercy in shock, but Lu Xinyan was still sitting firmly on the chair, with her slender hands casually resting on the armrests, without moving a bit.

At the same time, with a contemptuous look, he looked at Uber and sneered, "It's only been half an hour? Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with you just now!"

I was secretly on guard.

This Uber guest, the visitor is not kind!Qingtong's kung fu is not weak, but Xingluo's is just average, I'm afraid he is outnumbered!
To be insulted in front of everyone is simply a great shame!Uber, who was already very proud, turned pale in an instant, "Miss, for the sake of being a woman, I will let you show off your tongue, but if I, Uber, can't let you beg for mercy later, from now on I will With your last name!"

"It's so scary!" Lu Xinyan patted her chest with her slender hands, looking frightened.

That expression greatly pleased Uberke, "Miss, as long as you take good care of me, and let you maidservants take good care of my brothers, this will be over. From now on, all of my Uberke's fur goods The lowest price is offered to you!"

Twenty or so big men laughed wretchedly.

"How naive! Can't you hear that I was mocking you just now? Just because of your pig-headed appearance?!" Lu Xinyan smiled and yelled, "Do it!"

There are many people on the other side and few people on our own side, so we have to preemptively strike!

A handful of white powder quickly floated towards Uberke and the others.

Wherever the powder went, more than half of the twenty or so big men fell down.

Uber's expression changed, "Are you using poison?"

Lu Xinyan spread her hands, "I want to use force on me, and I don't ask who is around me! Not only are there people who know kung fu, but also people who can poison! My maid is top-notch in medicine and poison, and the drugs I make can make people feel sick. People fainted for seven days and seven nights!"

You Boke gritted his teeth, "You are a lady from the official family, and you even resorted to such indecent methods as drugging. It's a pity not to be Mrs. Yazhai!"

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Congratulations! You Da is the boss, and now you have eight left. You are not my opponent! If you are sensible, automatically change your surname to Lu, and I will let you go!"

"If I don't know what to do, what will happen to you?"

"I heard that You Da was born in Lulin, the head of the family. Over the years, he used unscrupulous means to kill many people. There must be many people in this world and the business world who want your life!" Lu Xinyan said lightly: "I just You are dizzy, and if you spread the news about you, there are more people who want to do something to you, and I don’t need to do it myself!”

Uber is keeping an eye on her!

Lu Xinyan was not afraid at all, and smiled Yanyan, "Oh, I almost forgot, just now Master Youda wanted to use force on me, I am very stingy, I will get revenge, I should find ten girls from the brothel to accompany Master Youda, Or invite ten young men from the small mansion, I'm still comparing, I don't know if Master You would like to choose the girls from the brothel or the young men, or... both?"

Uberke first looked at her with eyes that wanted to eat Lu Xinyan, then suddenly laughed, pulled a chair and sat on it, "Brothers, get up, stop acting!"

Seeing the dozen or so people who fell silently on the ground slowly getting up one by one under Lu Xinyan's nose, it was Lu Xinyan's turn that their faces changed.

The ecstasy medicine formulated by Baizhi is actually useless to these people?Could it be that I accidentally made a mistake and took the flour?

"Miss," Uberke looked at Lu Xinyan's changed face with satisfaction, "We are from the green forest, and we like to use drugs and other dirty tricks the most. In order to prevent others from using drugs against us, my two friends and I A dozen or so brothers have not practiced any other kungfu in these years, but they have practiced a kind of tortoise breathing exercise, which can stop breathing for an hour, so no matter how powerful the drug is, it is useless to us!"

He said viciously: "Miss, submit obediently, otherwise..."

Qingtong was very angry, and quickly stood in front of Lu Xinyan, "Xingluo, you take the young lady and go first! I will stop here!"

Seeing Lu Xinyan's stubborn resistance, he snorted coldly and struck with both hands. He saw more than twenty well-trained men divided into two teams. One team quickly blocked the Yajian door, and the other team directly pointed at Qingtong.

For a moment, swords, swords and swords filled the room with a murderous aura, all heading towards Qingtong.

Although Qingtong's kung fu is good, but he was outnumbered by the crowd, and he was soon at a disadvantage. Fortunately, Yu Boke had no intention of hurting others, so Qingtong was only hit by the handle or the back of the sword, and there was no serious injury.

Xing Luo's eyes turned red anxiously, and he wanted to step forward to help, but he didn't dare to leave Lu Xinyan half a step away.

Uberke squinted his eyes, and said with certainty: "Miss, what's the matter? Have you made a decision? If you don't make a decision, I'm going to kill you girl!"

Lu Xinyan's lips were tightly pursed, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw that Qingtong's hair was messed up, and was about to speak, when a figure, like a ghost, jumped out of nowhere.

I saw him flickering, and the dozen or so big men under You Boke who besieged Qingtong had already fallen half to the ground.

Uber's face changed drastically, "Let's go together! Don't show mercy!"

The dozen or so people blocking the door, together with the rest of them, attacked the approaching people together and flew together.

But in just two or three hits, one-third of them had already been wiped out by Qi Fei's ecstasy.

Uberke realized that there was a stubble, turned around and rushed out the door.

"Want to escape? Hmph!" Qingtong snorted coldly, and jumped, blocking Uberke's way.

You Bo Ke was born in the green forest, he has experienced hundreds of battles, and his kung fu is not weak, but Qingtong was forced to fight back just now, holding his breath in his heart, now one-on-one, one shot is a killer move, and he quickly beat You Bo Ke Step back.

Uber's complexion was so dark that he thought it would be a sure win, but a guy with unfathomable kung fu ran out of nowhere and knocked half of his people down in an instant.

After barely holding on for a while, the old and cunning Uber guest quickly raised his hands and surrendered, "I admit defeat!" A hero is a hero who can bend and stretch!Uber knows this well.

Lu Xinyan ordered Qi Fei and Qingtong to stop. At this time, only Uberke was standing on the side of Uberke in the room, and the rest were lying on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

At this moment Uberke broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he surrendered quickly, otherwise he would be like those people in a second, lying on the ground recklessly.

"Miss Lu, I admit defeat!" Uber raised his hands and licked his smiling face, "At last year's price for fur goods, I will give you as much as you want! As long as I am Uber, I will give priority to leather goods in the future, Miss Lu. !"

Lu Xinyan sat on the chair, with a half-smile, "Master You, the grievances between me and you can be offset with just a little fur? Do you think highly of yourself, or do you think low of me?"

Uber Ke knelt down on the ground and quickly slapped himself twice. The corners of his mouth immediately saw blood, which showed the ruthlessness of the attack. He grinned at the corners of his bloody mouth, "It was because I messed up for a while that I gave birth to shameless people. Think! I, Uber, swear here that if I dare to think about Miss Lu in my heart in the future, I will be fined as Uber for the rest of my life! No, I will not raise it for the rest of my life!"

Lu Xinyan burst into a smile, this Uber guest is really able to bend and stretch in order to survive!How dare you make such a poisonous oath!
"For the sake of the sincerity of the boss, I will not settle accounts with you for the time being. I will treat it as a favor that you owe me. If you ask me for something in the future, you must not hesitate to turn back! What?"

A favor for a life, worth it! "no problem!"

"Besides, in business talk, I, Lu Xinyan, are so poor that I only have money left, so I don't take advantage of others! There is a shortage of leather goods this year. I will increase the price by [-]% last year and buy all your leather goods from you. But, " Lu Xinyan smiled at Yan Yan and said: "Just now, Master You said that if you can't let me beg for mercy, you will have my surname. I don't know if this is valid?"

He is a big man, standing upright, how can he follow a woman's surname?Uberke's face was slightly stiff, but the situation was stronger than others. He gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, there will be no Uberke in this world, only Lu Boke!"

Quite a sense of current affairs!Lu Xinyan slightly raised her eyebrows, "I'm not going to break your rules either. I'll pay the money with one hand and deliver the money with the other. How much money is it in total? I'll send someone to the bank to get it right away!"

"The road to the capital is difficult this time, the goods are escorted by other brothers, and they didn't arrive until midnight today!" Uber said: "Tomorrow morning, here, I will personally deliver the goods to the eldest lady!"

Lu Xinqiu thought that he would not dare to lie to her at this time, "Okay, it's settled! If you dare to lie to me this time, you will not come here in the capital in the future."

Although Uberke has a big business, the most profitable one is still in the capital. He said in a muffled voice, "Missy is very skilled. I, You... How dare Lu Boke cheat?"

The man who came from nowhere just now, his skills are not ordinary martial arts masters, at least he can be ranked among the top ten in the Jianghu. To make such a powerful person loyal, this Lu Xinyan is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.

Under such circumstances, how could he dare to have any wrong thoughts about Lu Xinyan, let alone cheat her, he just wished to hand over the leather goods to her as soon as possible, keep away from her, and ensure that there would be no danger of his life.

"Then thank you Master, I will send someone to pick up the goods tomorrow morning." Lu Xinyan smiled, and walked away with Qingtong and the others.

After the people left, Uber's legs softened and he sat on the ground, only then did he realize that his clothes were already soaked.

It's fucking useless!You Boke scolded himself secretly, thinking that when he led his brothers, he was never afraid of one against ten, but now he is so afraid of a little girl?It's really getting better and better!
Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts. After sitting for a long time, he reluctantly stood up while supporting the table, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come here..."

　Thank you for the monthly pass that I don’t have a nickname to use anymore, so what!
