Chapter 50
Mrs. Zhang was busy putting the last soup into a big bowl in the kitchen. Shen Lu ran in to help pick up the soup. After smelling it, showing a greedy look, she smiled and told Mrs. Zhang that someone was looking for her outside.

Mrs. Zhang wiped her hands on the apron, and followed Shen Lu out of the kitchen.

Shen Lu brought the soup to the table, just in time to see Luo Qingchen looking at the gate of the courtyard, and was about to get up, he pressed Luo Qingchen and said: "I'm looking for your mother, what are you in a hurry for? Come, drink the soup!"

However, before Mrs. Zhang reached the door, another servant appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and asked poking around, "Is Miss Qingchen at home?"

Shen Lu was taken aback for a moment, he really did whatever he wanted.

Those bodyguards made fun of Shen Lu as a fortune teller, amidst the laughter of everyone, Luo Qingchen got up and walked towards the door.

Two groups of people came outside the door, the first one was a servant who handed over the post, and with a wave of his hand, several servants behind him came over carrying several large boxes full of red silk.

Mrs. Zhang opened the greeting card and saw that it was signed by Xu Hongwen. Luo Qingchen had already seen the name at the side, and immediately stopped at the gate of the courtyard, asking the servants to take the things back.

"Mrs. Zhang, Miss Qingchen, this is a mere gift. I am the little daughter's accomplice. It is also to congratulate you on your housewarming." Xu Hongwen picked up the curtain, got off the carriage, walked up to Mrs. Zhang and said politely: "I went back yesterday. I asked my little girl about what happened at the gate of the small town that day. Although I have taught her a lesson that day, it seems that you still can’t let go of it. So today I sincerely apologize, and I hope you don’t mind in the future.”

"Master Shangshu!" On the other side, the handsome young man riding a white horse called out in surprise and jumped off the horse.

Luo Qingchen and Zhang Shi turned their heads and saw Jian Yu in white clothes like snow on the other side of the courtyard door, and behind him were the servants holding stacks of gift boxes.

Luo Qingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, these two men are good at making money, and the news is fast enough, meeting here at this time, they must doubt each other's intentions.

Xu Hongwen was equally surprised to see Jian Yu here: "Young Master Third, you are..."

Jian Yu looked at Luo Qingchen with deep meaning, but saw that her expression was calm and not flustered, which was unexpected and reasonable, so she smiled at Xu Hongwen: "Yesterday, when the heaven was sacrificed, there was great chaos in the city. The girl met once before, and I heard that she was frightened, so I came here to visit her today. It coincides with her family's housewarming, so I prepared some small gifts. My lord, this is..."

Jian Yu not only expressed his concern for Luo Qingchen, but also clarified in front of Xu Hongwen that he and Luo Qingchen were just casual acquaintances, but it just happened that the housewarming was not empty-handed, so he prepared a gift.

Although the two families did not have a clear agreement on the marriage between Jian Yu and Xu You'er, there were some things that were tacitly understood. If Jian Yu showed favor to other women, it would definitely destroy the friendship between the two families.

Now what Jian Yu said is very appropriate.

Xu Hongwen sighed: "You don't have to hide it for You'er, I already know it. You'er was unreasonable back then, and it was this girl Qingchen who hurt her, and today I am here to apologize to Madam Zhang and Miss Qingchen on her behalf .”

Luo Qingchen thought that these two men were better at talking than the other, and Jian Yu was implying that he saved her life yesterday, so why would Luo Qingchen be embarrassed to reject him today, and wanted to just enter the room, and reciprocate in the future?

As for Xu Hongwen, if he really apologized sincerely, why didn't he bring Xu You'er with him?Obviously there is an ulterior motive!Even congratulating the housewarming does not require such a big gift, it looks more like a betrothal gift, and the neighbors will inevitably wonder what the relationship between Mrs. Zhang and this Lord Shangshu is, and what he will do in the future will be a matter of course.

Mrs. Zhang looked at these two extraordinary men, looked at the heavy ceremony behind them, was a little at a loss, then looked at Luo Qingchen, and said in a discussing tone: "Qingchen, he has good intentions, you see? "

She was ashamed to brush off their faces, thinking of inviting them in for a glass of water and wine, it would be polite to say a few words before sending them off.

But it is easier to invite God than to send God away, Luo Qingchen was afraid that these two had this idea, so he simply said: "Our mother and daughter appreciate your kindness. My family has a happy event today, and the banquet at home has already started, so I didn't know beforehand You two come here, I'm sorry."

These words are meant to reject them, and they are not even allowed to enter the door?

Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu looked at each other in embarrassment, but they have the right to allow people to enter or not to enter their door, so it is possible that they still have to force their way in?
Luo Qingchen changed the subject again: "But the visitor is a guest. Yesterday I discussed with my mother to thank the two for their help. It is rare that both of you are here today. I will take this opportunity to offer a glass of water and wine to thank you all." .”

Having said this, Luo Qingchen invited a bodyguard who came over to watch the excitement to bring the wine jug and wine glasses, filled three glasses of wine, reasoning that Mrs. Zhang didn't know how to drink, so she took one glass herself, and handed the other two glasses to each other. They left Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu.

"Both of you are good generals who have pleaded for the country and know more things than a country girl like me. If there are any mistakes, please forgive me. I will do it first as a respect!" Luo Qingchen said bluntly. Drank the wine in the glass.

This seems to respect Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu, and toasted, but Luo Qingchen didn't suffer at all, and dismissed the things that should have come to thank him in this glass of water and wine, and stated in advance that she is a person who doesn't understand etiquette A wild girl who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, if Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu are as knowledgeable as her, wouldn't they lose their status?

Jian Yu thought to herself, she was really sure that she would not report, she had no intention of currying favor with him, and she was still indifferent as always, why?
But in fact, Jian Yu really didn't intend to report on Luo Qingchen, what good would it do him?Even if Luo Qingchen is an assassin or an accomplice, if Jian Yu makes a report, at most he will be promoted to an official and get some rewards.

And it is said that yesterday, when the king was furious, he dealt with many officials who did nothing, but he had no news about the assassin on the altar.

The king is moody, tyrannical and unpredictable, but if he feels threatened, even if he is wronged, he would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. How can he be indifferent to those who try to assassinate him?

Even if Luo Qingchen had nothing to do with the assassination, the old man who was with her was agile and strong in martial arts, and he was by no means an ordinary person, which made people suspicious.

Even if the target of their assassination is the celestial master, the king will definitely not let them go because of the importance he attaches to the celestial master.

But the king didn't mention a word, it's abnormal!
Xu Hongwen never thought that Zhang's gentle and beautiful daughter would have such an unsympathetic daughter who would not save face for others, so he drank the wine in his glass, ordered someone to leave a gift, and prepared to go home.

"It's a coincidence that I came here today, so please be busy, and come to visit another day when you are free." Although Xu Hongwen was unhappy in his heart, the regretful and magnanimous expression on his face was well-placed.

"Master Shangshu, we are single family members, and they are all women. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come, and we can't afford these things. Speaking of your kindness to my mother, we can't accept these things. Please go back. We have guests at home, so we won't send them away." Luo Qingchen stopped the servant who was about to bring gifts into the courtyard again.

Seeing that Luo Qingchen's mother and daughter had not returned to the courtyard at the door, Shen Lu got up and walked over curiously. Luo Qingchen didn't want gifts to enter the door, so he naturally helped to block the door.

The servants were in a dilemma, looking at Xu Hongwen, they didn't know what to do.

Jian Yu saw that none of Xu Hongwen's things could enter the door, let alone the things he brought, so he persuaded: "Qingchen, you keep yourselves clean, and you are afraid of being talked about. I can understand this. But Master Shangshu loves the people like It's not very good to think like this, right?"

While speaking, Shen Jian brought two bodyguards and turned in from the alley. Seeing a crowd of people in front of the Zhang family's gate, and many neighbors standing in the alley watching the excitement, he thought something happened, and hurriedly The parting crowd squeezed to the front.

"Qingchen, what's going on?" Shen Jian looked at Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu who were holding gifts behind him, Luo Qingchen was blocking the door, Zhang looked embarrassed, and was very puzzled.

"Master, why are you here now?" Luo Qingchen saw Shen Jian with a smile on his face.

Shen Jian turned around and pointed to the gift boxes held in the hands of the two bodyguards: "Isn't this why you are moving to a new house? I was thinking about why I can't come here empty-handed. Everyone discussed it last night. I just went to ask a Guanyin to keep your house safe." , and bought a little gift."

The two bodyguards happily opened the box in their hands for Luo Qingchen to have a look at. Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu's followers saw that it was just an ordinary Guanyin, and the gifts were nothing more than ordinary things, compared to what they had in their hands It looked inconspicuous and shabby, and one couldn't help feeling contemptuous.

However, Luo Qingchen held Guanyin with both hands, looked at it, and said to Zhang: "Mother, look at this Guanyin with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, holding a willow branch, he really looks like a mother, thanks to where the master found it Such a gift is really thoughtful."

Mrs. Zhang also took a closer look, and said with a smile: "It really is, it seems to be somewhat similar."

"Mrs. Zhang, you have to thank me. I was the one who said to buy a Guanyin." Xiao Wu came out from behind and boasted complacently.

"And me, I joined in too." A Liang hurriedly followed.

The bodyguards who had been drinking in the yard all ran over, shouting and fighting for their merits, laughing and joking, and even blocked the door.

"Thank you each and every one of you. What are you running out for? The food and drinks are getting cold, so go back quickly." Mrs. Zhang smiled, turned her head and bowed slightly to Xu Hongwen apologetically, and then said to Luo Qingchen: "I'll go back first." Go in and greet them."

Luo Qingchen stepped aside and said to Shen Jian: "Master, are you tired? Go in quickly, I'll be waiting for you."

In this way, how can Xu Hongwen and Jian Yu stand still?The two of them greeted Luo Qingchen, then they took gifts and got on the horse, and those who got on the carriage got on the horse, and left quickly.
