Chapter 405 Under the prestige, it is still necessary to show some face.
Zhou Ji paid attention to Lu Baijie's movements, and said with a weird expression, "Mr. Lu couldn't blame me because Xu Fengnian stepped on the door of Lu's house, holding his breath in his heart, and didn't dare to provoke Bei Liang?"
Xu Fengnian, as the eldest son of Bei Liang, however, did maintain Bei Liang's face by doing so, but it also trampled the Lu family's face on the ground.
There are 350,000 iron cavalry in Beiliang, who rule the world and guard one side.
Lu Baijie knew clearly that the Lu family was rude, even though he knew that Xu Fengnian intended to make use of the topic and use arrogant and domineering actions to stand up for his elder sister Xu Zhihu, but he couldn't say anything more, so he had to put this trace of resentment on himself, and wanted to get rid of him. Get back on the field.
Zhou Ji's thoughts are clear.
For a moment, it was as if Xu Fengnian possessed a body, turned on the "great wisdom" mode of scheming, nodded confidently, and confirmed: "It must be so."
"." Lu Baijie was speechless for a moment, but such a thought might not have flashed in his heart.
As Mr. Lu Jiaqi, Lu Baijie is known as Tangxi Sword Immortal. With his reputation, he still needs some face after all.
Lu Baijie shook his head, and his tone was much more sincere: "That's not the case, Lu really wants to ask the young master about celestial phenomena."
Zhou Ji was full of disbelief, and gestured towards the ancient sword Baxiu in his hand, "Look at your posture, if I don't agree, will you just draw your sword and force me to make a move?"
Noticing the commotion here, Xu Zhihu, who was not far away, walked over with Xu Fengnian, "Uncle, Mr. Zhou and Fengnian came all the way from Beiliang. It's been a hard journey. Let's arrange a place for them to rest first." .”
Lu Baijie put down the palm of the sword, and calmly said: "It's because Lu is not good at treating guests."
Then he looked at the trembling fat butler beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Dongyang, go and arrange accommodation for the eldest son and Mr. Zhou, and then go back to the front yard to receive the punishment."
The fat butler quickly took orders, got up from the ground, called a few servants to clean up the guest room first, and said respectfully: "Young Master Zhou, please."
Zhou Ji slightly nodded at Xu Zhihu, and Xu Zhihu returned the salute with a smile.
The Lu family is a famous family in Yangzhou. The mansion occupies a large area and has a deep courtyard.
Zhou Ji followed the fat housekeeper to a guest room near the garden, and looked around, but it was fairly clean.
From the beginning to the end, the attitude of the fat butler was quite respectful. He was obviously frightened by Xu Fengnian's actions just now. In addition, Zhou Ji is a distinguished guest that even the seventh master should treat with caution. How dare he be rude?
I wanted to leave a few servants and maids to serve, but Zhou Ji refused, so the fat housekeeper had to arrange them next to the forest garden, and told Zhou Ji that he could call them anytime he wanted.
Not long after, a maidservant with a familiar face came from the corridor. Zhou Ji remembered that she was the one who was following Xu Fengnian's eldest sister, and couldn't help showing doubts.
Xu Fengnian has always wanted to see his eldest sister all these years, shouldn't they tell each other tearfully when they meet now? What did you send someone to find me for?
I only found out after asking Er Qiao that it was Xu Zhihu who asked about Xu Fengnian. I heard that he is Xu Fengnian's friend and has helped Xu Fengnian a lot, so I want to invite him over and thank him in person.
Goodbye Xu Zhihu, she has already put on a thick fur cloak, now the wind is sunny and the grass is growing, and the grass is growing and the birds are flying. It has long since disappeared from the warm and cold in the early spring. She was still wearing it when she just went out to meet Xu Fengnian The usual silk embroidered shirt and skirt, but now she is wearing a cloak when she returns to her courtyard.
I didn’t look carefully in the atrium just now, but after looking again now, he found that Xu Zhihu’s aura seemed stable, but in fact he was exhausted, like a tree without roots, ignited a raging fire, and what the flame burned was vitality, and even more longevity.
Zhou Ji turned to look at Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian's face was full of pity and worry.
Xu Zhihu's eyes showed soft light, he gently patted the back of Xu Fengnian's hand, and said with a smile: "I've said it all, but I just accidentally caught a cold, and I've taken medicine for the past few days, and I'm much better."
Er Qiao stepped forward, and was about to say something when Xu Zhihu stopped him with his eyes.
She knew that this little girl picked up from the side of the road loved her dearly, but she didn't want Xu Fengnian to worry about her own affairs.
Looking up at Zhou Ji who was walking outside the door, Xu Zhihu got up and greeted him, and said in a gentle and kind voice: "Just now I have been listening to Feng Nian chatting about the young master and his acquaintance, thank you for your help all the way."
Although Xu Fengnian deliberately avoided all kinds of assassinations he had encountered since he traveled for three years and arrived in Yangcheng, and only picked out some irrelevant interesting things to tell Xu Zhihu, but Xu Zhihu is not a stupid person. Seeing that Xu Fengnian's environment is extremely dangerous.
Knowing that Zhou Jiyue tricked him into learning lightness kung fu, and helping him many times, Xu Zhihu was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and at the end he bowed his body and expressed his gratitude again.
"Severe words, serious words."
Zhou Ji finally realized what it meant to be a "elder sister like a mother". This kind of warm and tolerant power gave people an indescribable oppression. Even without me, I will be able to turn danger into good luck, and everything will be safe."
Xu Fengnian had never seen Zhou Ji in such a cramped state, and couldn't help laughing beside him, Xu Zhihu gave him a reproachful look, Xu Fengnian shrank his shoulders, and looked down at the gap in the floor under his feet.
Seeing that it was almost dusk, dinner was served soon.
In the past, the kitchen would have made things difficult. Er Qiao had even prepared to argue with the back kitchen, but this time not only was he not ridiculed by cynicism, the kitchen even started preparations in advance and made a table of North Starlings. Cuisine, as well as local unique dishes.
Zhou Ji reconfirmed Xu Zhihu's physical condition through the perception of his spiritual consciousness, and realized the seriousness of the problem. Right now, Xu Zhihu's original source is overdrawn, and his stagnation is hard to overcome. Just like Lin Daiyu, who is weak and strong, he may disappear at any time die.
Noticing the change in Zhou Ji's eyes, Xu Fengnian inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked him what was going on.
Zhou Ji hesitated for a moment, but still told his direction.
Knowing that Xu Zhihu's body was so weak, Xu Fengnian was very anxious, and asked her if it was really the case.
The imperial court eyed the Xu family covetously, and what the Xu family lacked in the court was the support of literati.
Xu Zhihu has been dissatisfied with the environment since he married Jiangnan, and the Lu family didn't treat her very much because of his husband's illness and death. That little Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain.
Over time, it is inevitable that you will think too much and your body will go from bad to worse.
A wind and cold was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing her strong body.
Seeing Xu Fengnian's worried look, Xu Zhihu thought that Er Qiao had told him something privately, pressed the back of his hand to make him sit down, gently stroked the top of his head, resisted the urge to cough up blood, and forced a smile: "Why did you suddenly become nervous? This wind and cold has indeed dragged on for a while, but most of it is already healed now, and it will be fine after a few more days."
(Let’s post so much first. I had insomnia all night yesterday, my head was groggy, and my eyes could hardly be opened.)
(A lesson from blood and tears! People with a bad stomach should never eat fried food at night! It will affect sleep)
