MTL - Raising Wolves-v2 Chapter 45
The atmosphere was subtle for a few moments.
Ning Juan lowered the corners of his eyes. His eyes were narrow, long and sharp, and his eyes were dark. When looking at people, he always had a deep coldness and was very aggressive, but in front of Lu Qingze, he showed weakness and showed his familiarity. : "I asked Zheng Yao to investigate temporarily last night. It seems that he was ineffective and made the wrong time. Is the teacher angry?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and carefully pulled Lu Qingze's sleeve.
His Majesty the dignified emperor, made a low profile.
Temporary check?
Lu Qing thought to himself, with your character, you have just checked it several times as soon as you got the secret support of Jin Yiwei.
He wasn't annoyed that Ning Juan was secretly checking him, it's not normal for His Majesty the emperor to not be so thoughtful, he smiled and patted the young man's hairy head: "What's so angry about, you're right, it's rare to come back once, of course I'm going to go there. Incense stick."
Ning Juan smiled sweetly towards Lu Qingze: "Well."
It's just an old shop, and the teacher hasn't returned for many years, so there's nothing wrong with it.
Based on this, I want to find out the teacher's little secret, which seems to be a bit rash.
Be careful next time.
The teachers and students looked at each other and smiled, with different thoughts.
The guards outside acted as grooms, knowing that the two inside were very expensive, especially the Master Lu.
Not seeking speed, but stability, the carriage traversed the long street unhurriedly.
Lu Qing leaned back in a relaxed posture, and said casually, "The stories of ghosts in the north and south seem to be different. The stories circulating in the capital are all about foxes repaying their kindness, and this one in Lin'an is a white snake who is in love."
Ning Juan has never been interested in ghosts, spirits, and ghosts. He raised his cheeks and stared at the teary mole at the corner of Lu Qingze's eyes, and said casually, "Teacher, do you still believe this, what fairies and weirdos are just a daydream and wishful thinking."
Lu Qing said: "Don't judge ghosts and gods arbitrarily. When I was a child, I heard that there were people nearby who borrowed corpses to restore their souls."
Ning Juan raised his brows slightly, thinking that Lu Qing was chatting casually with him, and wrote lightly, "Just pretending to be a ghost."
Lu Qing smiled and stopped talking.
As he thought, Ning Juan didn't believe in these things, and if he really realized that his teacher was a ghost who revived a ghost from a dead body, he didn't know what he would be scared of and what he would do.
Still well covered.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of a rather dilapidated alley, and the guard turned back and said, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the place. Do you and Master Lu want to come down for a walk?"
Ning Ruan stretched out his hand to cover Lu Qingze's hand and fell into a slump, but his hands were still cold: "No need, continue to move forward."
Lu Qingze's health is not yet healthy, and his curiosity about this place stems from his curiosity about Lu Qingze.
Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
As he thought, Ning Juan would care about whether his body could bear it.
Although he wasn't so weak that he couldn't walk, it's better not to try to be strong for now.
This street is a bit old, with a small river passing through nearby, stone bridges with green bricks, weeping willows supporting the wind, bright and clean colors, graceful and graceful.
Ning Juan looked out, looking left and right with interest, trying to trace the traces of Lu Qingze growing up: "Have you been here before, teacher?"
Lu Qing thought to himself how did I know: "Well."
Ning Jian paused, and was very sensitive to his emotions: "Teacher doesn't seem to be very happy?"
Lu Qing lowered his eyelashes and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing, just remembered some old things."
Ning Wan's face froze.
Lu Qing's parents died early, so he must have suffered a lot when he was a child.
Even his uncle, who was deeply affectionate, died when he went to Beijing to take the exam.
Royal kinship is shallow, and he is very cool, never thinking about it carefully.
Although it was a good thing for him that Lu Qing didn't have many relatives and friends, so the teacher could only rely on him.
But for Lu Qing, the hometown should also be considered a sad place.
Ning Juan pursed his lips, like a puppy who had done something wrong, his ears drooping down: "Teacher, I'm sorry."
Lu Qing just wanted to avoid talking about old things. Seeing Ning Juan's appearance, he felt guilty for three seconds and gently touched his head: "It's okay, let's go to the Lu family's ancestral house."
In the past, Yuan Shi lived with his uncle in the ancestral house, and the tablets of Yuan Shi's parents and uncle should all be placed there.
Since he has taken up other people's shells and continues to live in the world on his behalf, he should also go to the incense stick.
Ning Juan carefully looked at Lu Qingze's face, and saw that he really didn't look particularly unhappy, so he felt a little relieved.
The carriage quickly arrived at the Lu family's ancestral house, which was said to be the ancestral house, but it was indeed not very big, and even a little dilapidated.
But from the slightly faded lantern hanging in front of the door, it was obvious that someone lived inside.
Lu Qing glanced through the curtain and frowned.
The land deed of the Lu family's ancestral house is in his hands, and it is in the capital's mansion. Although he does not live here, the ownership rights are also his, why are there still people living in it?
Ning Juan also saw that something was wrong, raised his finger and knocked on the wall of the car: "Go and find out."
The guard got the order, jumped out of the carriage, and went to the nearby pedestrian hawker to inquire.
Came back shortly after.
"Your Majesty, the surrounding villagers said that this house belongs to the Lu family, and is currently occupied by Lu Fuming, the second uncle of Lord Lu."
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "He doesn't have a title deed, he occupies my house, and the government doesn't care?"
The guards all heard about it: "My lord was the champion in high school back then, and the news came back to Lin'an Mansion, and Lu Fuming assumed the identity of the second uncle of the champion, saying that he was a family, he was still an elder, and he occupied the house, and no one dared to say anything. "
Lu Qing only knew that the original body had an uncle, but unexpectedly another second uncle jumped out, and it didn't sound like a good thing, after a moment of silence, he took out the mask and put it on: "GuoGuo, let's go down. "
If it's not a good thing, then he should also solve some problems for the original body.
Ning Juan lost a look at the guard who was accompanying him, and personally helped Lu Qing to get off the carriage.
When leaving the palace, Ning Wan didn't want to attract too much attention, the carriage looked ordinary, and the two of them were dressed in a low-key manner - at least they looked low-key.
The old man who had just been questioned by the guards sat nearby selling water chestnuts, and glanced at the two of them: "Are you two here to look for the second son of Lu?"
Lu Qing nodded: "That's right."
"Then you have to be careful," the old man looked at his thin figure and felt that he was crooked, as if he would fall over when he touched him, so he kindly reminded him, "This second child Lu is a scoundrel."
Ning Juan narrowed his eyes and motioned for the person beside him to pay.
The guards around him immediately took out the money and bought everything on the stall.
Then he opened his mouth: "Rogue? How to say it."
Everything was bought, and the old man's face became even more kind in an instant, he smiled and said, "This little gentleman speaks authentically. He came from the capital, right? Could it be that the top scholar from the Lu family was sent from the capital?"
Is this the first time His Majesty the Emperor has been recognized as a servant?
Lu Qing sneered in his heart: "Old man has good eyesight."
"Back then, when the Lu family split up the property, the second child coaxed Father Lu, saying that he took care of Young Master Lu and took the opportunity to divide up the entire family property, leaving such a ruined house for the eldest eldest Lu. I want to sell Young Master Lu, but fortunately, Boss Lu rushes in time, otherwise, where can we get the champion?"
"Second Lu also laughed at Boss Lu for picking up a fuel oil bottle. When he had squandered the property by himself, he saw that the young master of the Lu family raised his face and changed his face. When Young Master Lu went to Beijing to take the exam, he jumped out again, occupied the house, stayed on, and used the name of the second uncle, the champion, to do this and that on weekdays..."
"This Lu family's champion has been taciturn since he was a child, like a nerd, he is a bully, and he doesn't make a sound after being taken advantage of. Now that you are here, is it possible that you finally understand?"
Living on the same street, they are familiar with each other's affairs. The old man talked in detail, shaking his head as he spoke.
When Lu Qing listened to it, he felt that something was wrong.
Why are you still talking about him?
Ning Juan also turned to look at Lu Qingze, with some obvious doubts in his eyes.
A taciturn gourd?
Was the teacher like that before?
Sunlight is too poisonous. After the old man finished speaking, he put away the stall with a smile, and finished work ahead of schedule and went home.
This time, Lu Qing exchanged glances with Ning Juan innocently.
Ning Juan is very aware of Lu Qingze's temper. His teacher has always been gentle, calm, and unhurried. Looking at the broken bones, his back is always straight.
He was completely different from the Lu Qing in the old man's mouth.
A person's character will change, but the core part will not change.
There are so many little secrets of the teacher.
"It seems that the villagers have a deep misunderstanding of the teacher." After a long while, Ning Wan laughed, and didn't ask any further questions, "Is the teacher going to take the house back?"
Lu Qing had no thoughts about this house, but this place must be very important to the original body. Even if there was a possibility that Ning Juan could further notice that something was wrong, he still nodded.
Seeing that the two had made a decision, the guards went over and knocked on the door.
no respond.
The guard was not discouraged and continued to knock on the door.
Still no response.
Just as the guard was about to draw a knife and break in, a middle-aged woman slammed the door open, her face was a little bit bitter, and her tone was extremely aggressive: "Who is it! The blue sky keeps knocking in the daytime, it's going to die!"
Ning Yan's eyes showed a bit of coldness.
Lu Qing didn't want to cause more trouble, and said straight to the point: "The land deed for this house is not in your hands, and you don't have a lease. You occupy the house, which is against the law. If you don't move out today, the government will come."
The woman's face changed suddenly, she slammed on the door with a bang, and the footsteps hurried away.
Not long after, the door opened again.
This time it was a middle-aged man with a drunk face, who should be Lu Fuming, the second son of Lu.
Probably after hearing the woman's words, he thought that Lu Qing was from the government. He opened his mouth and scolded: "My nephew is the teacher of the emperor, how old are you, don't move! Believe it or not, I will fix a book. Beijing, it's nothing but your master's official!"
Lu Qingze was suddenly amused, how did this rogue use his name to swindle like this on weekdays?
Ning frowned in disgust, his voice condensed: "Lu Qing is the emperor's teacher, what does it have to do with you, it's up to you to move it."
"What are you?"
Lu Fuming glanced at him. The youth and teenagers were standing in the shadow in front of the door. The clothes on their bodies looked dark and gray. At first glance, they were not expensive clothes. Seeing that he was young, he didn't take it seriously: " The prefect can't control me, so do you want to talk?"
The guards at the back were sweating coldly.
Your Majesty doesn't have a good temper. If Master Lu wasn't here, how could this scoundrel still stand and speak?
Lu Qing was simply **** off.
Not only did you use his name to swindle and deceive, but also dared to use his name to suppress the prefect of Lin'an?
No wonder the Lin'an prefect looked at him at the banquet at Hefeng Tower last time, hesitant to say anything.
"I don't know why," Lu Qingze's tone became slightly colder no matter how good-tempered it was. "How can Lu Qingze's name be so good?"
The voice just fell, and the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind.
Lu Fuming looked up and saw that the prefect of Lin'an was coming with a group of head arresters.
He was dissatisfied, and just wanted to speak, when he saw the prefect of Lin'an slammed, and knelt down neatly: "Wei minister sees His Majesty! Wei minister is frightened, the matter of the Lu family's old house was not handled properly by Wei minister, and I hope your majesty will forgive me. !"
Of course, Lu Fuming was talking nonsense just now. The prefect of Lin'an was concerned about Lu Qingze's name and gave him three points of thinness. It was his decision to dismiss him or not.
Seeing Lin'an's parents kneeling down with a trembling voice, he was a little sluggish, and it took him a long time to react.
His Majesty? Where is your majesty?
Then I heard the ordinary-dressed teenager take a step forward, looked down at Lin'an's parental official, and said calmly, "I hope you forgive me, the master hasn't spoken yet."
Until this moment, Lu Fuming realized that this young man was not dressed in ordinary clothes.
The dark blue robe was embroidered with dark patterns, standing in the shadows and not showing it. When you walk under the sun and look carefully, you will find that the dark patterns flow like clouds, with brilliance and brilliance, and they are extravagant.
It has nothing to do with "ordinary".
His face was horrified, he stared blankly at Ning Juan for a long time, then suddenly reacted, looking at Lu Qingze who was wearing a mask: "You are..."
The prefect of Lin'an was afraid that he would say a few more words and further offend Lu Qingze for himself, so he waved his hand in panic: "Lu Fuming, you occupy a private house, and you dare to argue before your majesty? Take it away! Cover your mouth and don't let it go. He was talking nonsense in front of His Majesty."
The official behind him came up in a hula circle, covered Lu Fuming's mouth skillfully, grabbed it and left.
The woman who was poking her head behind the door was also caught by the official and took away with her mouth covered.
Lu Fuming struggled, but he even said two sentences: "Lu Qingze... Lu Qingze, I am your second uncle, you dare to be ignorant... Your Majesty is wronged..."
The prefect of Lin'an heard his eyelids twitching wildly, and gestured desperately to take the person back and lock him up, turned to Lu Qingze, and said dryly, "Lord Lu, this..."
Lu Qing saw that his cold sweat was soaking out, and he said, "No wonder Lord Fu, I'm far away in the capital, and I don't know about it. I'll leave this matter to the Lord, I believe the Lord will handle it well."
The prefect of Lin'an was unclear for a while, has Master Lu's anger subsided?
It's always right to deal with that rascal anyway.
He just thought about the news from Jiangyou that seemed to be tainted with blood, and he broke into a cold sweat and said cautiously: "Your Majesty has worked hard in Jiangyou, and Wei Chen has set up a new banquet. Can you enjoy the light tonight?"
This banquet was different from last time.
The last time was just habitually picking up the wind and washing the dust. All the officials wanted to play with the little emperor, and they didn't take Ning Juan too much in their hearts.
But after the Jiangyou incident, who would dare to underestimate Ning Juan?
Obviously, Ningjuan went to Jiangnan to play just to hide people's eyes and ears, and the real purpose was to solve Jiangyou's affairs.
Ning Juan never liked liveliness, and even less like this kind of banquet of imaginary and condescending. He frowned. Just as he was about to refuse, Lu Qing secretly patted him on the waist, implicitly warning him.
He was aggrieved, and what he said had to be changed into an indifferent and dignified voice: "Well."
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich and prosperous, since the local officials have the heart to please, this face must be given.
Lu Qing calmly retracted his hand.
The guards who saw the whole process beside him were terrified, and looked at Lu Qingze with a three-pointed awe.
After the prefect of Lin'an finished speaking, he no longer swayed in front of the two with a wink, and took the people back.
The people nearby didn't know what was going on, so they hid behind the house and cast a chaotic gaze. Lu Qing was worried that some acquaintance of the original body would come up to recognize his relatives again.
After that, he walked into the ancestral house.
The ancestral house is not big, the tiles on the top are tattered, and it leaks at first glance. The yard is also messy and overgrown with weeds. Only the patio is cleaner.
It can be seen that although there are people living there, they are not taking care of it.
Several guards followed the file, carefully inspected each room, and confirmed that there was no danger, and then invited the two to the mourning hall at the back where the spirit tablets were enshrined.
The mourning hall has not been incense for a long time. As soon as the door is opened, the dust is thrown out, and it lasts for a long time in the sun.
Ning Juan was afraid that Lu Qingze would choke, so he frowned and pulled him back, reaching out to block Lu Qingze's mouth and nose, and instructed, "Go in and clean up."
A few guards were ordered, covered with cloth towels, and worked tirelessly to clean up.
Lu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's so far apart, why don't you let go?"
As he spoke, his lips brushed against Ning Wan's palm inadvertently.
The young man's heart jumped, and the inexplicable itching spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body. The slight irritation made the blood flow faster.
Ning Wan's breath was heavy, and she turned to look at him.
Lu Qing was thin and had a small face. When he entered the house, he couldn't bear the discomfort of wearing a mask, so he took off the mask. At this time, half of his face was covered by his hands, revealing only his bright and gentle eyes, which were slightly widened. look at him.
This gave Ning Yan the illusion that he was in control of him.
But the taste is really addicting.
He paused for a while, resisted the itch in his heart, put down his hand, and concealed the scorching heat in his eyes.
Don't be in a hurry.
The teacher is too weak, what if he is frightened by him?
He had to get Lu Qing to accept him little by little, both physically and psychologically.
The futon in the mourning hall was really unclean. The guards took off their robes, spread them on the dirty futon, and lit the incense candles they brought. After a lot of tossing, the mourning hall finally appeared.
There are not many spirit cards enshrined on the table.
Lu Qing looked at the unfamiliar names and didn't know who it was. He quietly took the incense stick, replaced the original body, and respectfully kowtowed.
Ning Juantian was a noble man, and the only people worthy of his kneeling and worship were his ancestors, and he didn't follow him. He just stood by the door and watched Lu Qingze's back.
He is extremely sensitive to the capture of emotions. After leaving the palace, he has noticed a faint sense of disobedience. Now he finally understands where that sense of disobedience comes from.
It seemed that even when he was worshipping, Lu Qingze's mood was light.
Whether it was Lin'an, or the Lu family's ancestral house, Lu Fuming, and the spirit cards on the table, the teacher's attitude was unspeakably indifferent.
It's not because of his calm personality and rarely showing his emotions, but a natural indifference.
Simply put, it's just... unfamiliar.
It is clearly the place where the teacher grew up, and the people who have known each other since childhood, why are they unfamiliar?
He caught something vaguely, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.
When he left the Lu family's ancestral house, Lu Qing was still thinking.
The original body died quietly, and he didn't even have a funeral. It would be better for him to make a spirit tablet and put it in the ancestral house. After they left Lin'an Mansion, no one would come in again.
It's just that people can't find it, otherwise, I will give myself a spirit card... Let Ning Guoguo know, there is no good fruit to eat.
But Ning Juan is like a puppy, sticking to his side at all times, and it is inconvenient to do things alone.
Lu Qing thought for a while, had an idea, pinched his forehead, and his slightly hoarse voice sounded a little weak: "Guo Guo, I won't accompany you to the banquet tonight. It seems that the wind is blowing and I have a headache."
Ning Yan immediately gathered up the messy thoughts in his head, and solemnly probed Lu Qingze's forehead temperature to make sure he didn't have a fever, so he calmed down, nodded and said, "That kind of messy occasion is not suitable for the teacher, so the teacher will Take a good rest in the palace."
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Why is the banquet carefully prepared for you in such a mess?"
Ning Jianyong had bad memories and asked unhappily, "Does the teacher like that kind of occasion? Or do you like those beautiful girls?"
Where is this going?
In a word, Ning Guoguo, how can you stretch out to find a point like a gangster?
Lu Qing was speechless for a while, and then reached out to probe Ninglan's forehead temperature: "I don't have a fever, why did I start talking nonsense? I just appreciate beauty."
Ning Juan was not happy, he suddenly remembered that Lu Qing liked girls.
He also told him that in the future, if he meets someone who is destined, he will marry him.
His heart sank suddenly: "Oh? Did the teacher see a girl he likes? If the teacher likes someone, I will help you."
"They're all little girls, the same age as you, what do you like or not?" Lu Qing didn't expect the topic to turn to this, he smiled lazily, and teased, "Don't worry, if you really meet in the future , I will ask Your Majesty to help you marry me."
Lu Qing didn't notice it, and he stepped on Lei Dian in one sentence.
There is not a word that Ning tired loves to hear.
Ning Juan took a few breaths, raised the corner of his mouth, smiled coldly, and stared at Lu Qingze with a somewhat obscure solemnity: "Give a marriage?"
Someone is selling osmanthus lotus root powder outside.
Lu Qing put on his mask, lifted the curtain of the car with two fingers, and looked out curiously, just missing the momentary look in Ning Juan's eyes, and said casually, "Don't you want your majesty... Servant Sun, please help me buy some. lotus root starch."
Following outside, the guard responded and helped to run errands to buy lotus root starch.
Lu Qing turned his head again, Ning Juan had already put away the gloomy face, and smiled brightly at him: "Of course I do, the teacher will just wait."
Shouldn't you be waiting?
Lu Qing has been in poor health for two lifetimes, so he always remembers to keep his mind calm and his emotions indifferent. Therefore, contrary to Ning Juan, he is not so sensitive to his ability to capture emotions, and he does not care about the weirdness in these words.
He hadn't taken care of himself yet, and he was really tired after coming out. His eyelids were a little numb. He closed his eyes against the wall of the car, and fell asleep after a while.
Ning Yan stretched out his hand to take over his body, stretched out his hand expressionlessly, wiped the tear mole on the corner of his eye, and looked coldly at the pale and fragile skin that was rubbed red, and his mood became a little calmer.
At least now, he really doesn't want to, or rather, is reluctant to use force against Lu Qing.
But if Lu Qing probed his bottom line so unconsciously, it wouldn't be the case.
Sun Er bought lotus root starch, opened the curtain and wanted to send it in, just happened to catch Ning Wanwan's look at Lu Qingze.
His heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to speak again.
Lu Qing didn't expect that he really fell asleep on the carriage, and slept until the afternoon.
When he woke up, it was almost evening, and Ning Juan had already gone to the banquet.
He washed his face, his drowsy head was a little sober, and he called Chen Xiaodao: "Xiaodao, do me a favor."
Chen Xiaodao was very clever, and he guessed it at once: "Is your son going to find that Duan son?"
"Yes," Lu Qing nodded in appreciation, "It's not easy for Your Majesty to know about this. Help me get rid of the guards who are guarding. I will return to the palace before His Majesty returns."
Chen Xiaodao was inexplicably excited: "Okay, look at me!"
While Chen Xiaodao went out to attract attention, Lu Qing changed his clothes.
According to the previous experience, those officials were quite difficult to deal with. They had to have some entertainment after dinner, and Ning Juan would not be able to come back until late.
As long as he acts faster, leaves early and returns early, he will not be discovered.
The author has something to say:
Ning Juan: Marriage? understood.
Lu Qingze, who was forced to wear a wedding dress:? Not this kind of marriage!
Lu Qingze, a man with flags stuck on his back.
