Chapter 189 Throw It Out
Now that Qi Xuansu's new home has been decorated, it is different from the last time he came here. The furniture responsible for the Zhang family has been placed and it no longer looks empty.
What surprised Qi Xuansu even more was that their new house was of course a new item from Yishui, and what they wanted was the word "new", but some ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, etc., couldn't be new. New is not as good as old, and there is no history. The background cannot reflect the Zhang family's style.
Although Zhang Yuelu objected strongly, the objection was ineffective and the Zhang family left it alone. Zhang Yuelu couldn't escape and couldn't see him anyway. By the time Zhang Yuelu noticed, it was almost time for her wedding, could she throw it out again?
The Zhang family still has many people here, all of whom are preparing for the wedding.
Qi Xuansu suddenly thought that he had not arranged the best man yet and was too busy.
The leader of the Zhang family followed Qi Xuansu, took out a long wooden box, and handed it to Qi Xuansu with both hands.
This box is very exquisite. If nothing else, this box alone is also an antique and worth a lot of money. A painting packed in such a good box is certainly not ordinary.
Donghua Zhenren has high attainments in calligraphy and painting. He not only likes to paint by himself, but also likes to appreciate and collect famous calligraphy and paintings. This time Qi Xuansu specially asked someone to find an ancient painting from the Daqi period. It was made by a famous artist and was hard to find.
The person entrusted to him was none other than Zhang Jucheng. After all, the Zhang family has thousands of years of history, so just choose from their own inventory.
Ever since Qi Xuansu and Zhang Jucheng teamed up to capture Li Tianlan, the relationship between Zhang Jucheng and Qi Xuansu has greatly improved. Zhang Jucheng's only regret is that Qi Xuansu is not his son-in-law, but his niece-in-law. After all, he is one level behind. This painting can be regarded as a thank you gift in a sense, but there is no need to owe a favor.
Qi Xuansu follows rules. He is extremely cautious when it comes to giving and receiving gifts. Let’s not talk about receiving gifts. When it comes to giving gifts, Qi Xuansu rarely breaks the rules. The reason why he made an exception this time when giving gifts to Master Donghua is because they are teachers. Regarding the relationship between disciples, Taoists say that master and disciple are like father and son all day long, so what else is there to say? No matter how precious it is, it does not break the rules.
Qi Xuansu took the long box without opening it, but said, "Thank Uncle Zhang for me."
The Zhang family responded, "The head of the family has told me that a family does not have to speak the same language."
Qi Xuansu put the painting away and planned to send it to Master Donghua later.
At this time, Chen Jianchou contacted Qi Xuansu, "Master, something happened."
To be precise, there was a problem on Lu Yujue's side.
Qi Xuansu specifically told Chen Jianchou to accompany Lu Yujue because he was afraid that Lu Yujue would be impulsive. After all, he had endured it for so many days, and this day was not enough. It was better to wait until he met the real Donghua before making long-term plans.
Of course Lu Yujue understood this truth and did not intend to have an attack immediately. He was just planning to
Planning can never keep up with changes.
Logically speaking, Zhou Xiaosong should still be on duty at Tiangang Hall when Lu Yujue came home, and Zhou Xiaosong didn't know that Lu Yujue was back.
Because the official side only said that Qi Xuansu would come back, and no one else mentioned it, everyone in Ziweitang was preparing to welcome Qi Xuansu. Even Wu Niang didn't know, let alone Lu Yujue.
As for Li Changge, he did say hello to Beichen Hall and told them about Lu Yujue's return so that they could be prepared. It's just that this kind of thing is not reported to the level of Master Qingwei. As one of the candidates for the Grand Master, Master Qingwei handles this kind of thing every day, so there is no need to do anything else, so Li Changge just asked Shen Yubing to notify Li Zhuyu .
Li Zhuyu, for some personal reasons, did not tell Li Minghuang about the incident immediately.
When Lu Yujue returned home, he found the door closed.
After Taoist sects began to talk about equality, even Taoist sects could not have dozens of servants like the Confucian sects in the past. Especially in Yujing, it was even more strict. There could only be one or two Taoist people. Lu Yujue's family only had husband and wife. The two of them, plus Lu Yujue didn't come back very often, so there was usually only one Taoist.
But even if there is only one Taoist, there is no reason to lock the door in broad daylight.
Lu Yujue smelled something different.
He originally wanted to endure it, but when things came to him, he couldn't endure it anymore and broke in directly.
The people inside noticed it immediately, but did not choose to escape.
When Lu Yujue walked into the living room, he saw two people in the living room. One was naturally his Taoist companion Zhou Xiaosong, and the other was Li Minghuang.
The two of them were neatly dressed, and they probably hadn't started the real drama yet, so there was no possibility of being caught in bed.
The Chinese furniture in the living room was replaced at some point and turned into a Western sofa. Li Minghuang was sitting on the sofa, looking magnanimous and without any guilt at all. Seeing Lu Yujue looking at him, he nodded with a smile.
Lu Yujue had a gloomy face, feeling that the fire in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
Zhou Xiaosong was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"
Lu Yujue said coldly, "Why, can't I come back? Are you expecting me to die outside?"
Zhou Xiaosong was immediately irritated by these words and raised his voice, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yujue said, "That's the literal meaning."
Zhou Xiaosong said in a shrill voice, "Lu, you don't come back even a few times throughout the year. You go crazy when you come back. What do you want?"
How about it? "
Lu Yujue asked, "What do you want? What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Zhou Xiaosong didn't feel guilty at all, but spoke plausibly, "What's wrong with me inviting my boss to come and sit at home?"
Lu Yujue finally couldn't hold back his anger. "It's not that simple, is it? I've heard about all the good things you did in the South Continent. What do you think I came back for this time?"
Zhou Xiaosong was flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down. In order to cover up her guilty conscience, she burst into even greater anger. "People with dirty hearts see everything dirty. Mr. Lu, you are not clean outside, don't judge others by yourself. You are narrow-minded, not as big as a needle hole, and you spread rumors about me. A grown man, don't be so mean."
What is called putting the blame on someone else, this is it.
Lu Yujue laughed in anger and said three "good" words in a row.
Lu Yujue has been in the South Continent for many years and is in charge of foreign affairs. Even if he is not eloquent, he is definitely not a person who is not good at speaking. It's just that he was so angry at this time that he couldn't speak.
He couldn't figure it out. Was he blind back then, or was Zhou Xiaosong disguised too well? Or was it the environment that changed people, turning the gentle little woman back then into what she is today?
Lu Yujue was trembling all over and wanted to take action.
Chen Jianghou immediately grabbed Lu Yujue's wrist and whispered, "Assistant Lu, don't give people a chance to talk about you."
At this time, Li Minghuang, who had been silent, finally spoke, "Secretary Chen, I heard that you will be promoted to deputy palace master soon. Congratulations. You will be promoted quickly if you follow a good master."
Chen Jianghou said calmly, "Taoism advocates equality. I don't know where this 'master' came from? Master Li should be careful with his words and don't say what's in your heart. Of course, I don't deny that Master Qi promoted me. Master Qi and I have a relationship of superior and subordinate. It's reasonable and better than recognizing a father."
Li Minghuang narrowed his eyes and burst out with amazing momentum in an instant.
Chen Jianghou felt suffocated for a moment.
To be fair, even if Lu Yujue and Chen Jianghou were added together, they would not be Li Minghuang's opponent.
But Lu Yujue was not really afraid. During this period of time, he followed Qi Xuansu and was used to seeing pseudo-immortals such as Hu En Ahan and Wutu. He was really a little embarrassed.
Lu Yujue took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Li Minghuang, this is my home, please leave!"
Zhou Xiaosong immediately said, "This home is also half mine. Master Li is my guest. It is not your turn to say anything."
Li Minghuang finally stood up, but did not move his feet. "Lu Yujue, why are you with Master Qi's secretary? Did you climb up the high branch of the Donghua lineage?"
Chen Jian
Qiu said, "Master Li, I want to make it clear that Assistant Lu came back on leave and took Master Qi's flying boat. After all, Assistant Lu was also Master Qi's subordinate. This is human nature, and Master Qi has no reason to refuse. Chief Li is aware of this and allows it. Didn't Chief Li tell you?"
Li Minghuang frowned, wondering what he was thinking.
Lu Yujue shouted, "Li Minghuang, what are you still doing here? Wait until I divorce this woman, and then you can come back."
Li Minghuang smiled and said, "What if I don't leave? What can you do to me?"
Just then, a voice said, "If you don't know how to be ashamed, I will throw you out."
As soon as the voice fell, Qi Xuansu strode in.
Chen Jianchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Minghuang's face was solemn. "Master Qi, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Qi Xuansu said, "Assistant Lu is my subordinate. As his old boss, it's not too much for me to come and see him, right? Can only Director Zhou invite his boss to sit over, but Assistant Lu can't invite his boss?"
Zhou Xiaosong wanted to say something, but Qi Xuansu glanced at her and said, "Director Zhou, I'm not the kind of person who thinks that male Taoists should give way to female Taoists. That's too self-righteous and too much of a look down on female Taoists. I believe in equality, and I respect female Taoists very much, so I treat male Taoists the same way I treat female Taoists."
Zhou Xiaosong didn't dare to speak immediately, and even didn't dare to breathe.
Qi Xuansu turned to look at Li Minghuang, "Master Li, you're very good."
Li Minghuang narrowed his eyes, "What do you want?"
Qi Xuansu said coldly, "I said, throw you out."
Before the words fell, the two men attacked almost at the same time.
A big horse and a golden knife appeared in a small space.
Qi Xuansu's move was the "Future Wuji" in the "Three Worlds Holy Fist".
He did not underestimate Li Minghuang, after all, Li Minghuang was also in the stage of creation.
The two crossed each other, Qi Xuansu was unscathed, and Li Minghuang had a clear fist mark on his chest, staggering a few steps.
Qi Xuansu followed with another punch. No matter what, Qi Xuansu's skills were also learned from actual combat, even facing Zhou Mengyao, let alone Li Minghuang.
Li Minghuang roared and attacked with all his strength.
They hit each other head-on.
The space between the two was briefly distorted.
The next moment, Li Minghuang flew backwards, broke through the wall, broke through the courtyard wall, flew to the street outside, and landed in a prone position, looking very embarrassed.
Qi Xuansu stood with his hands behind his back, "You are far worse than Li Yongyan."
