Chapter 1232: A Fox Is a Fox
It's just that no matter what Shen Nanzhi says, this Lu Xiuran can't listen to it, he is still a man in the end, and the last thing he will do is to quarrel with women, especially beautiful women, but he refuses to admit that Shen Nanzhi is right for the sake of face. He was so stumbling that he couldn't say anything for a long time, and finally took the person away in a huff.
Speaking of which, the name of the big room is from "cloud", and the name of the second room is from "repair". According to common sense, in a family like the Marquis Mansion, it is best not to use the same word in the name of the children in the family, but it is said that although Lu Xiuran and Lu Yunran were born far apart, the tacit understanding between the Hou and the second master, a pair of brothers, was used to name the two sons.
But fortunately, there is no etiquette law in Yuguo that stipulates anything that cannot be the same word, so it is used like this.
When Shen Nanzhi first heard Lu Xiuran's name, he only thought it was very good, and he heard that he was the second eldest son in the second room, and the fourth in the entire Hou Mansion, so he felt that he was also the son of the first few Hou Mansions, and he must have a good upbringing, but he didn't expect that there was a pair of empty skins, and it was such an unbearable straw bag inside.
Lu Yunqi came back in the evening, and as soon as he got home, he heard about Lu Xiuran's running to Anyuan to make a big fuss today, and after listening to the people outside, he rushed to the main courtyard angrily. Shen Nanzhi was looking at the account book while waiting for Lu Yunqi to come back for dinner, but he only saw a person who pushed the door out angrily, so frightened that he almost lost half of the plum he was holding in his hand.
Shen Nanzhi was stunned, and looked at Lu Yunqi with a frown: "You...... Sick? What is this going to do!? β
"I heard that Lu Xiuran came to you to make a fuss?" Lu Yunqi didn't go around in circles, he snatched half of the plum in Shen Nanzhi's hand with one hand, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite in his mouth, "You still ran to the inner house?" β
"Yes, but I didn't enter the house, I said a few words, and I left with that Luomei!" Shen Nanzhi glared at him, so he had to go to the plate and touch the other one.
"Luomei?" Lu Yunqi asked.
The people in the outer courtyard only knew that Lu Xiuran in the second room rushed in, but they didn't know what the reason was, and Zhuyun on the side added fuel and vinegar to tell Lu Yunqi everything that happened today, including the second lady's unreasonable trouble, Miss Luomei's pity, and Lu Xiuran's chivalrous courage.
After listening, Lu Yunqi's face was already dark, and he slapped the table on the side of the table: "This Lu Xiuran, dare to come to me to make trouble!?" β
"You...... You're not going to go to him now, are you? Shen Nanzhi saw that Lu Yunqi seemed to be really angry, so he closed the account book, "It's too late today, I will go and explain to Mrs. Hou tomorrow, it was Lu Xiuran who did something wrong at this time, and they will definitely not shield him." β
Lu Yunqi turned his head and glanced at Shen Nanzhi, the anger on his face suddenly disappeared, and he stretched out a hand to gently stroke the little girl's head: "Did he scare you by breaking in?" β
"He's not a ghost, and so many people are protecting him, how can I be so vulnerable!" Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow, finish eating first, you haven't come back all day, I miss you......"
β¦β¦
When Lu Yunqi's mood had calmed down after the meal, Shen Nanzhi thought that he was no longer angry, but she could only say that she had relaxed too early - who was Lu Yunqi? It's always an old fox! How could he not hold a grudge?
Shen Nanzhi was called up early the next morning, Shen Nanzhi was still a little puzzled why Lilac woke up so early today, but Lilac frowned on the side and said: "It's a word from the Hou Mansion, saying that the second master didn't go to the palace today, and Lord Qiu seems to have come to the Hou Mansion too, so tell the second grandmother to come over quickly!" β
"Huh?" Shen Nanzhi was confused, "Lord Qiu, why did Lord Qiu come to our mansion so early?" β
Although he was puzzled, Shen Nanzhi still ran to the Hou Mansion as fast as he could.
Just as soon as she entered the compound, she heard Lu Xiuran's miserable howl, Shen Nanzhi leaned in curiously and looked inside, only to see Lu Yunqi and Master Qiu each holding a cup of tea sitting on the top, Dong sitting on one side, and the lord and the second lady in the second room also sitting on the other side, everyone looked at Lu Xiuran, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard and was beaten by the small servants.
Lu Xiuran knelt on the ground miserably, holding a booklet-like thing in his hands, and behind him stood a tall and strong man, who was holding a board and slapping Lu Xiuran's back one by one.
Shen Nanzhi noticed that this kind of board was specially made, and it was wrapped with a layer of soft stuff on the outside, so adults couldn't bleed, but it could beat people to death.
Looking at the expressions of the people above, Lu Yunqi's face was full of lightness. Lord Qiu is the effective expression of a literati when he sees the big scene, as if his face is full of "can't do it". The Dong family looked at Lu Yunqi from time to time, obviously she didn't feel sorry for Lu Xiuran, but she didn't like Lu Yunqi's approach very much. And the couple in the second room was full of pain, and every time they hit the second lady, they had to tremble, and the second master couldn't bear to go over.
"Hey, hey! The old daughter-in-law is here! The first to notice Shen Nanzhi turned out to be the second lady, she hurriedly stood up and motioned to the family to stop fighting, "Quick, Xiuran, you quickly apologize to your second sister-in-law!" I can't fight anymore, and if I beat people again, I'll be wasted......"
Lu Xiuran grinned in pain, gritted his teeth and finally turned to Shen Nanzhi's side, at this time, he didn't have the arrogance of yesterday at all, a dignified seven-foot man had red eyes, and cried out with a "wow": "Wow-second sister-in-law, I was wrong, I shouldn't have broken into the inner house at will!" You tell my second brother to spare meβ"
Shen Nanzhi looked at Lu Xiuran as if he had seen a ghost, and then looked at Lu Yunqi's face - sure enough, that guy was calm and light-hearted, and even took a sip, and said quietly: "It's not that I asked someone to punish you, it's that the second uncle has always taught his son well, and if you are at fault, the second uncle will naturally punish you." β
If it weren't for the distorted expression on the second master's face, Shen Nanzhi would really have almost believed it.
Almost without thinking about it, she also knew that this was due to Lu Yunqi, and remembered that Lu Yunqi also used such a trick in Suzhou back then...... Eating people doesn't spit out bones, so the old fox is the old fox.
