Chapter 57 Intersection (3)
Master Xiao Chi was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to react, Xiao Li saw this, and hurriedly said: "Master Xiao Chi and Master Chi said that they want to see your real savior every now and then, why is the savior here right now? In front of you, why don't you talk anymore?"

"Miss Xiaoli, could it be that..." Master Xiaochi's face was full of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that the savior of his father and son, the behind-the-scenes boss of Jifang Pavilion was actually the one in front of him who was not as tall as his chest and tall. She is as delicate as a little girl who looks like a white jade doll.

But Xiaoli nodded to him affirmatively, and said to him affirmatively: "Yes, this is our girl, the savior of your father and son!"

Only then did Master Xiaochi believe it, and the next moment he knelt down in front of Lu Mingxuan with a "plop", and kowtowed three times involuntarily: "My father and son can't repay you for saving your life. People must be terrified, and they will not hesitate!"

Lu Mingxuan never expected that Master Xiaochi would kneel down when he said kneeling, and kowtow when he said kowtow, and then said anxiously, "Master Xiaochi, get up quickly, it's just a matter of little effort, I can't deserve such a big gift from you..." Ben He wanted to order someone to help him, but when he looked around, he saw that Xiaoli and Danqing were both girls who hadn't left the cabinet, not to mention himself, he had to watch Master Xiaochi kowtow three times before persuading him to get up.

Master Xiaochi got up and Mother Huang came, seeing Lu Mingxuan came, he was surprised and happy, tears streamed down his face in an instant, Lu Mingxuan and Xiaoli persuaded for a while before they gradually stopped.

Afterwards, Lu Mingxuan went to the back hall to see Master Chi, an old man in his fifties who looked very similar to Master Chi, and gave him the jewelry she had painted recently, and told Master Chi that these jewelry Only three pieces can be launched in a month, and after discussing the next business strategy of the shop with Master Xiaochi, she saw that the hour was approaching, and she had to go back, or she would show her feet. Surrounded by mother and Xiaoli reluctantly, they sent them outside the door.

Lu Mingxuan supported Danqing and stood outside the gate of Jifang Pavilion for a while, the Lu family's coachman and the two wives following the car came back one after another. After saluting Lu Mingxuan, they got into the car one after another and headed back to Lu's house .

It was almost noon at that time, and it was much warmer than in the morning, so there were many more pedestrians on the street than in the morning.

Lu Mingxuan's carriage was struggling in the crowd, and finally drove out of Comb Alley, but after turning a corner, it was blocked in a relatively spacious area, but at this moment, a simple elevated carriage was built, full of people, and some people were beating gongs Beating drums and saying: "Rely on parents at home, rely on friends when going out..." It should be that someone is in the open space for performing arts, and can't even move slowly like just now.

Lu Mingxuan lifted up a corner of the car curtain and looked out. Seeing that she would not be able to leave for a while, she was not in a hurry, so she just lifted the car curtain, looked at all kinds of passers-by outside with great interest, and said that she was alive In two lives, I have never seen so many people at once!

Having seen enough pedestrians, Lu Mingxuan casually followed the sound of gongs and drums not far away, and then her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, because she saw someone she never expected to meet, especially At this moment, the man was still standing on a high shelf.

That person's handsome face was so incompatible with everything around him, it was none other than Ling Mengqi!
In the new year, how could Ling Mengqi appear in the Xisi archway where the middle and lower class civilians and the poor live together, and stand on a simple elevated elevated in a dilapidated bunt, performing juggling, entertaining passers-by?Shouldn't he be in the Duke's Mansion right now, having drinks and watching plays with the masters of the Duke's Mansion, joking and having fun, enjoying the joy and relaxation of the New Year to the fullest?Do people in the Duke's Mansion know that he is out to perform?Even if the eldest son of the majestic Hou's mansion is not accepted by his father's favorite family, he shouldn't abuse himself like this. What is he thinking?Doesn't he know how prominent his face is, how easy it is to be recognized, doesn't he know what he's doing?
Lu Mingxuan's mind was full of questions, her first reaction was to ask Ling Mengqi to come down from the elevated road and ask what happened.

She was about to tell the driver to get off the car, when Ling Mengqi, who was on the elevated highway, seemed to have sensed something, stopped and suddenly looked over, and the eyes of the two met in the air instantly.

Although there is a considerable distance between each other, Lu Mingxuan still miraculously saw the embarrassment and humiliation in Ling Mengqi's beautiful eyes, as well as a flash of pleading. When Ling Mengqi was asked to play dice with them, Ling Mengqi's blushing face and the embarrassment in his eyes were even more embarrassing than at that moment.

Lu Mingxuan almost immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to Ling Mengqi to find out what happened. As the grandson of Prime Minister Ling and the eldest son of the dignified Marquis Mansion, he must have had some unavoidable reasons for degrading his status to come here to perform. Most of them are related to money. The so-called "a man with money is hard to be a man without money", he is already embarrassing and humiliating enough, why should I go over and add salt to his wounds, making him more embarrassing and humiliating?

Everyone has a side that they don't want to be known to others. For example, don't you want people to know about Jifang Pavilion? It's better to be confused about everything!
A thought flashed by, and Lu Mingxuan had already lowered the curtain, separating herself and Ling Mengqi into two worlds.

I don't know how long it took before the carriage finally started to move slowly. Lu Mingxuan couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief. Although she couldn't see each other through the curtain of the carriage, she was still very worried that Ling Mengqi would think that she was hiding from his jokes. Well, now I can finally leave this place.

It's just that the carriage drove not far away, when Lu Mingxuan suddenly changed her mind and ordered the driver through the curtain of the carriage: "Turn around and drive back to the place where there are performers!"

The coachman didn't know why, and the two women who followed the car didn't know why, so they asked with an apologetic smile: "What's wrong with the girl, did you forget to buy something? Why don't we buy it with the girl?"

Lu Mingxuan just said lightly: "Could it be that I have to report and explain to you in turn if I do something?" Then the two of them dared not speak again.

The carriage then turned around and drove back to the open space just now.

At that time, the crowd had dispersed for a while, the sound of gongs and drums had stopped, and there were still people tearing down the airs. It was obvious that Ling Mengqi had stopped performing, and I don't know if it had something to do with the look he gave him just now?
Lu Mingxuan was thinking about it, and was about to get out of the car when she put on the veiled hat, when she heard a voice from under the car: "This young master looks delicate and tender, what can't he do, why did he do such rude and dangerous things? If the young master Don't dislike it, I happen to be short of someone to serve tea and water, my lord, why don't you come with me, although you can't afford silk and satin, delicacies from mountains and seas, but you can afford food and clothing, you might as well think about it..."
