The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 68 Because He Has the Right
Fujiazhengtang
There was a lot of noise just now, but now there is silence of people, the music has not yet ended, people have all dispersed, only the tables and chairs turned over everywhere, the cups and plates dropped on the ground, and the messy dishes and drinks.

Looking at all this before Fu Ming, he violently waved his hand and overturned the table next to him, making a lot of crackling noises, which stunned Fu Yingying who just got up from the ground and was about to cry.

In the next moment, the grievance in her heart finally prevailed, and Fu Yingying screamed: "Father, why did you hit me? Don't you know how much face I just lost? Are you still my father? -"

Fu Yingying's voice stopped abruptly, because Fu Yingying's complexion before Fuming, that simple and honest face was gloomy, and there was a murderous gloomy light in her eyes, which made Fu Yingying shudder.

"Don't you know what you just did wrong?"

"Do you still think you have merit?"

Before Fuming paused every word, his voice was cold and cold: "Not only did you fail to do what I entrusted to you, but you also caused me a lot of trouble!"

It is indeed a big trouble, not to mention the face-off with Lang Sheng, but as long as the people in Huai County spread the news of today's events, there will be quite a few people in Wuzhou City who are staring at Fujia.

"father"

Fu Yingying couldn't help taking a step back because of her unfamiliar attitude before Fuming, her voice was no longer sharp, and she was a little unconsciously cowardly: "I am the daughter of the city lord, and I have put down my face and figure so much. His face was thrown to the ground."

As she was talking, Fu Yingying could no longer control her emotions. The cowardice caused by the drastic change of attitude before Fuming was not in her nature after all. Sheng himself doesn't know how to flatter, he would rather have a lowly commoner doctor than accept me, he simply looks down on our Fujia, since he can't get him, it's better to destroy him!"

The next moment, Fu Yingying's harsh words were interrupted by a slap, she covered her face, and looked at Fu Mingqian who beat her again and again today in disbelief: "Why—"

"Yingying, you are my daughter, so you have no right to be willful. You must get Langsheng. I will tell you this passage today. You should remember it clearly. You will get Langsheng by any means. If you really lose all your face, Lang Sheng must also become our family reunion!"

"Is he that important? He's just a warrior, a reckless man who eats dirt all day at the border. Even if he's a first-rank general, he's not as talented as those nobles from aristocratic families. He has—"

"Fool, he has power!"

Before recovering, he looked coldly at his spoiled daughter, and when he saw her pale and terrified face, he restrained himself a little: "Do you think his position as a first-rank general is false? He has military power in his hand. Fame, the most important thing is that he is getting more and more important in His Majesty's heart. Compared with those princes, he is trusted. If he doesn't trust him, how can the Emperor give him ten days to return to Beijing? Those famous sons It sounds good, but what can they give us, huh? What can they give us to return home, it's all a pile of gold and jade, and it's a pile of trash! Not to mention being the wives and concubines of those first-rank and second-rank officials' families. You can directly become the wife of a first-rank general, as long as you marry Lang Sheng, you will be a ready-made first-rank imperial order, not to mention Wuzhou City, even the women in the capital will envy you!"

Fu Mingqian's words were not polite at all, but Fu Yingying could hear them clearly, and her face turned red for a while: "He is the first grade that can be seen, but what about Xu Qingluo? "

Fu Yingying could clearly see the intimacy between the two of Lang Sheng in front of Xu Qingluo, and she was not stupid.

Thinking of Xu Qingluo's taunts and insults to her again and again, Fu Yingying gritted her teeth even more.

"That Xu Qingluo is just a small role. As long as your daughter knows what to do and is willing to continue to work hard, then she will not be a problem. If she wants to find death to get in the way, then you can't blame me for being rude."

Fuming put on a smile again on the front, but this smile is full of sinister.

Fu Yingying covered her painful face from the beating, and put all her hatred on Xu Qingluo for a while, looking at the smile before Fuming and listening to his promise, her eyes were full of viciousness.

-

Linjiang Tower is the largest restaurant in Wuzhou City. Lang Sheng brought many people from Huai County over in the middle of the night. At first, the shopkeeper was shocked. It was because of Lang Sheng's status as a general that he relaxed and invited them into the restaurant. .

Linjiang Tower is not as luxurious as the City Lord's Mansion, but everyone sat around a table, listening to Xiao Er's warm greetings and eating delicious food, it was far more comfortable than staying in the City Lord's Mansion.

Xu Qingluo looked at the tables of delicious food and wine in the lobby, thinking that the man said that he wanted to treat the guests by himself, and began to worry about the man's pocket.

She still remembered that Lang Sheng came to Huai County to say that he was recruiting troops, but the main reason was to heal the wounded, so how much money would he bring? The most important thing was that Xu Qingluo had served as General Lang in his previous life, so he knew Lang Sheng's family background very well.

Lang Sheng is not greedy and does not accept bribes. His own salary and the property he got on the battlefield are all given to the casualties under his hands. He has been a soldier since he was a soldier to support the comrades he made friends with. He has become a general. For the sake of every soldier in his army, Lang Sheng's savings were not even as large as the dowry prepared by a medical household in Xu's family for Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo remembered that this was also one of the reasons for her dissatisfaction with Lang Sheng at that time, but thinking about it now, she liked and admired the man beside her even more. No matter what, Lang Sheng was a very good general, both A very good person.

Xu Qingluo thought about touching her pocket, it should be enough to pay for the meal in the restaurant, fortunately she had prepared some money in advance for emergencies, and was thinking about secretly paying the bill later , a voice suddenly sounded from the middle of the banquet.

"General Lang, I, Daniu, have never been convinced by anyone in my life, but I have always admired you. If you hadn't given up on us, protected us when we were in Huai County, and protected us along the way, how could we people stand up well now? Here, you invited us to the restaurant for dinner again, I don’t know what to say or do to thank you, this glass of wine is just a little bit of gratitude from me, I respect you!”

A strong man stood up. He was a blacksmith, and his voice was so loud that everyone in the lobby heard his voice. For a moment, everyone was grateful.

"Yes, General Lang is such a good person, I respect you!"

"You saved us!"

"Thank you."

One by one, they put down the food in their hands, picked up their wine glasses, and stood up.

"And Ms. Xu, I listened to the rumors at the time, and not only did I fail to catch those damned rumorers, but I also followed them to booing and insulting Ms. Xu. I am here to make an apology for you."

"Miss Xu and General Lang are both our great benefactors."

"It's all about saving our lives regardless of past suspicions. Even now, you are still willing to help us, and you are still willing to invite us to have such a meal together. I also offer you a toast."

"I wish General Lang and Miss Xu a happy marriage for a hundred years."

"Yes, yes, it is best for General Lang to be with such a good person as Ms. Xu. That Miss Fujia is purely daydreaming. How could she remember to be with Ms. Xu? She is worthy of General Lang!"

"Haha, Miss Xu and General Lang must drink this cup. It's not only our apology, but also our blessing."

Everyone's faces were full of sincerity, and they looked at Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo with sincere apologies and gratitude.

Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo stood up, both of them had smiles on their faces, they never expected to get anything in return for doing so much, but there is no doubt that other people's sincere blessings and gratitude can really make people feel happy. A piece of warmth.

"Thank you for your blessings, as for your apologies—"

Xu Qingluo raised the wine glass in his hand: "Aren't I fine now? It's just that everyone needs to work together in Wuzhou City in the future, so that no one can bully you. As long as everyone lives well, the general and I will feel Rest assured."

After Xu Qingluo's words fell, there was a burst of approval, and everyone stood up one after another: "Yes, although everyone will settle in Wuzhou City in the future, they are all from Huai County. We must unite and not let anyone bully us."

"Yes, even the father and daughter of the city lord can't bully us Huai County people!"

There was a gleam of light in Xu Qingluo's brows and eyes. As long as these people in Huai County work together, even if there are any calculations after tonight before recovery, it will not be so smooth after all. To know any calculation, the most fearful thing is that the number of people planning the scheme is too large Mostly, those people working together cannot be disintegrated from within.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingluo was about to drink up the drink in his hand when a hand stretched out from the side, it was Lang Sheng.

Holding Xu Qingluo's wine glass, he smiled at the people who didn't know why: "Luo'er's injury hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'll drink this glass of wine for you."

It was only then that everyone remembered that Xu Qingluo was still injured, not a serious one, so naturally they wouldn't make a fuss to make Xu Qingluo insist on drinking, and besides, Lang Sheng was so caring and considerate to Xu Qingluo, everyone couldn't bear to watch him There is a feeling of knowing and smiling.

"General Lang knows that he loves his wife even before he gets married. Miss Xu, you should cherish it."

"Haha, yes, since General Lang wants to drink for Ms. Xu, he should drink a few more glasses, and treat it as a wedding wine in advance."

The common people are not so particular about the rich and powerful, so what to say, after getting close, they don't care too much about meat and vegetables, Xu Qingluo is still not much, Lang Cheng's ears are already red, and he can only drink several glasses of wine in a row It's over.

Xu Qingluo glanced at Lang Cheng secretly, saw the faint smile on his lips, and her own eyes also bent down unconsciously.

Then, Xu Qingluo stretched out his hand quietly, grabbed the man's left hand that was carried behind his back, and interlocked his fingers.

The man's five fingers increased the weight unconsciously, holding her hand tightly, feeling the man's strength, Xu Qingluo felt full of security in his heart.

Good, this man has always been hers.

-

It was already midnight between the toasting and drinking, and most people drank a little too much, even Lang Sheng's face was mostly red, and his eyes were a little blurred.

Seeing that the food was almost finished, Lang Sheng beckoned to Lang Wei and asked him to pay the bill.

A bit of bitterness appeared on Lang Wei's face. He was keeping most of Lang Sheng's money. To be honest, it was just like what Xu Qingluo thought. There really wasn't much left. It can be paid, but the money on the way to the capital is not enough.

But at this time, Lang Wei would not say that he would not pay the bill, he touched the money bag in his sleeve pocket distressedly, promised and was about to pay the bill, and held him with one hand.

Xu Qingluo quietly put an exquisite purse into Langwei's hand, and gave him a wink: "Hurry up and go."

"Sister Xu, I can't use this, if the eldest brother finds out—"

Langwei wanted to return the purse to Xu Qingluo, but the girl gave her a stare.

"I feel sorry for him, and I don't want him to eat and sleep on the way back to Beijing. And am I an outsider? Isn't it natural to use my money?"

Xu Qingluo blocked Langwei's refusal, and wanted to leave as soon as he pushed Langwei away.

"Serena, give your purse to sister Xu."

Lang Sheng had lost sight of Xu Qingluo in a blink of an eye just now, and after following him, he found that Xu Qingluo had handed Langwei the purse, and he asked Langwei to return the purse to Xu Qingluo, the girl hid back: "I said I I pay the bill."

Lang Sheng felt helpless for a while: "I'm still a first-rank general, and the imperial court has a lot of salary every month. How can I use your money?"

"Then tell me the truth, is there enough money and food in your army?"

Xu Qingluo asked directly.

Lang Sheng opened his mouth, and couldn't tell Xu Qingluo a single lie: "It's not impossible for everyone to persevere."

"But I don't want you to persist, I don't want you to suffer, I don't want you to do anything for money."

Xu Qingluo took Lang Sheng's hand: "You will return to Beijing in a few days to return to your command. Along the way, you and those soldiers have a lot of places to spend money. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a poor family has a rich road. My family You are not poor yet, so why would you suffer on the road? If you really treat me as your own, then you are not allowed to refuse to use my money. If you really feel embarrassed, then you will record the money for today’s meal. Stay here, and it will be put in the dowry when the appointment is made in the future."

Xu Qingluo's smile was a little mischievous, but more firm and undeniable.

Lang Sheng looked at her for a long while: "En."

He can't give her much now, he can only engrave every bit of what Xu Qingluo has done for him in his heart, and remind himself every moment that he should treat her better in the future.

-

Lang Wei ran away a long time ago, anyway, the eldest brother and sister Xu would discuss it clearly, Xu Qingluo got Lang Sheng's consent, and when he turned around, he was about to find Lang Wei to find a free time, and he roughly guessed Lang Wei's thoughts in his heart , couldn't help chuckling, thinking about Lang Wei's respect for Lang Sheng all the time, and went to the shopkeeper's side to check out by himself.

It's just that Xu Qingluo didn't expect that when she was about to pay the bill, the shopkeeper told her that someone had already paid the bill first.

Xu Qingluo subconsciously thought that it was Lang Cheng who asked Lang Wei to settle the bill while the two of them were talking, and then thought that Lang Sheng had never cheated on her, so she came back to her senses: "Excuse me, the shopkeeper, who settled the bill?" account?"

Since Lang Sheng promised to use her money, he wouldn't be half-hearted. Xu Qingluo didn't feel grateful to the one who helped to pay the bill without authorization, but he had suspicions in his heart, and he was plotting against Lang Sheng just like Fu Jia. There are a lot of them in Wuzhou City.

A look of embarrassment appeared on the shopkeeper's face: "Here, Miss, please don't embarrass me. I don't have much to say if the checkout person refuses to let me know. Anyway, isn't it a good thing to have someone to help checkout?"

Xu Qingluo frowned lightly and pulled his lips slightly, but it was not a friendly smile: "You will not be rewarded for no merit, since the shopkeeper can't say it clearly, then it goes without saying. It's just that I don't want to accept this kind of affection. This is 50 taels of silver, which should be enough for today's meal."

Xu Qingluo took out a full ingot of silver and put it on the counter, then turned and left.

"Hey, miss, this lady, we have already settled the bill once in our store, there is no reason to settle the second bill!"

The shopkeeper shouted anxiously from behind, his face was gloomy. To be honest, their Linjiang Tower is not short of such a meal, but if they charge double, it is not for nothing to leave for competing restaurants or customers. Down the line?

Xu Qingluo didn't look back: "I have to pay for this. Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to accept two, then it's fine to return the extra share——"

"You really don't know what's good and what's wrong. Not everyone can afford our young master's affection. The young master is willing to help you pay the bill because he thinks highly of you!"

Finally someone in the private room next to him couldn't help it anymore, and the curtain was lifted, but it was a boy with a baby face who was about the same age as Lang Wei.

He puffed up his round cheeks, staring at Xu Qingluo as if he was looking at an existence who didn't know good or bad, or good people.

Xu Qingluo looked at the other party's righteous expression and couldn't help laughing. Just as he was about to speak, the curtain was lifted, and the person arrived before he could make a sound: "Qiantui, don't be rude."

A pale hand held a folding fan and tapped lightly on the young boy's forehead, the light knock made the young boy cover his head with a bang: "My lord——"

It was a handsome young man with a pale complexion and a thin figure, wearing a white shirt, a jade crown, and a tired face. He looked like a handsome young man who seemed to be infected with a disease, but Xu Qingluo's gaze was caught by those eyes. absorb.

Those were a pair of eyes that were different from the sick, weak and pale ones on the outside, they were eyes full of vitality, just looking at them seemed to feel the tenderness and movingness of spring.

"Your Excellency Yan, just now, Qiansui's exit was offended, and I still look at Haihan. It's just that I had dinner here today, and I happened to meet an old friend, so I settled for the meal. If the lady blamed me, it's my fault. It's just that I fell in love with her at first sight. , it’s a great honor to be able to help Miss together.”

The young master held the fan and saluted lightly, speaking extraordinarily elegantly and politely, and even more gracefully, sincerely and courteously, most people would not blame such a person if they faced such a person at this time, but Xu Qingluo frowned.

Because the other party claimed to be Gong Ziyan.

Young Master, this surname is very rare, and this is Wuzhou City, and the man opposite him has an elegant demeanor and high temperament, so there are only aristocratic sons and daughters in Wuzhou City.

After returning to the family, did the second family find it so quickly?

Xu Qingluo raised her lips, facing Young Master Yan's soft voice, she smiled a bit irritatingly: "Young Master's beautiful words, but I'm afraid that the little girl will not be blessed, and I don't want to accept the young master's attention from the wrong person."

"It's up to you if you want to spend money. My daughter isn't so shy enough to accept a gift from someone she's never met before. Just now, I've sent the money for the meal. Manager, didn't you say that you can't accept two dollars?" A portion of the meal money? Just return the silver taels to this young master."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Qingluo didn't intend to talk nonsense with this unknown young master here, and turned around to leave.

"Why do you have a woman like you? What does it mean to be willing to spend money? What does it mean to be unblessed? What does it mean to be courteous? Does our son need to be courteous to you? Wuzhou City is even the capital of the state capital outside. Most of them are women queuing up to win the favor of our young master! You—”

Chitose jumped up and wanted to argue with Xu Qingluo, but halfway through the yelling, the remaining half was not fair and was suppressed by the young master Yan Qiantui.

"So that the lady can know that although I can't do anything else, I have always been complacent in my eyes of seeing people. When I see the lady next time, I can be sure that the lady is the right person, and I have not mistaken the person."

Gong Ziyan's words were a little tender, and other women might fall into it, even if the other party made a mistake, enjoying the friendship of such an elegant and handsome son of a family is very contented, but Xu Qingluo can only be full of vigilance.

Although she looks very good, she didn't open her eyes, and she was far from reaching the level of falling in love at first sight with such a young man who was not easy at first sight. In my mind, I wondered whether I had heard of this young master Yan who didn't seem like a thing in the pool in his previous life.

As a result, there was naturally no such person as Gong Ziyan. Xu Qingluo believed that once he saw it once, he would never forget it again. Then this is a completely unfamiliar object that needs vigilance.

At that moment, Xu Qingluo suddenly thought of Mu Qing, who was called the head of the sect. The same thing made people forget at first sight, the same thing made her unable to see through, the same thing made her vigilant, and the same thing that never happened in her previous life intersection.

In Xu Qingluo's eyes, there was a faint gleam of refusal to admit defeat beyond vigilance, so what?

Even though there are too many things and too many people in the past life and this life are becoming more and more different, she also believes that she can overcome them one by one.

Gong Ziyan watched the change in Xu Qingluo's eyes, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes for a moment.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips, and he was about to say something more, when a male voice suddenly came from beside him: "Brother Ce?"

It was Lang Sheng, his eyes were full of joy.

Xu Qingluo looked at Langcheng in surprise, and the next moment Langcheng strode forward and embraced Young Master Yan. It was a man's hug, and he patted Young Master Yan on the back with an expressionless expression on his face. Concealed joy: "Brother Ce, it really is you!"
