"Yun Chu, you are being too polite. Your mother and I are husband and wife. Her family business is my family business. What is the difference between you and me?"
Qin Muxue picked up the chopsticks and said:
"Since we are a family, what's wrong with us coming to eat?"
Duke Lu: “…”
Sharp-tongued.
I can’t stand it anymore!
The old lady clapped her chopsticks.
Bang!
"What an unruly girl! I didn't ask you to sit down, but you sat down first. It seems to me that you don't take me seriously."
Qin Muxue: "Yes."
"?"
The old lady almost choked.
"Ms. Qin, how can you speak to your elders like that?" Mrs. Lu rebuked coldly.
"She doesn't have the moral character of an elder, so naturally I don't have the attitude of a younger person. This is called the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam is crooked."
"you!"
Qin Muxue was hungry and didn't want to say much, so she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish belly meat for herself.
When Lu Yingying was about to pick up some fish, Qin Muxue picked up the fish head and tail with her second chopsticks, and put the tastiest part in the middle into her own bowl.
Lu Yingying stared:
"You took it all, so what should I eat?"
"If the food on this table is not enough for you, why don't you just go eat the northwest wind?"
"Qin Muxue!"
As soon as Lu Yingying stood up, Lu Yunchu gave her a cold look. She was so angry that she had to hold it back.
Thinking about the dinner tomorrow night...
She curled her lips and smiled:
"Let you be so proud of yourself, you won't be able to laugh tomorrow night."
Oh!
She waited to see the two men being driven out of the house.
Madam Lu smiled gently, "Yingying, what nonsense are you talking about? You must teach Miss Qin the rules when we attend the banquet tomorrow. Don't make any mistakes or you will lose face for the Lu family."
The old lady snorted:
"In my opinion, why don't you go to my place tonight, kneel down for a whole night, and learn some etiquette."
Lu Yingying said, "Grandmother is kindhearted and loves Miss Qin."
There was a greedy look in Lu Yeyang's eyes, which he would glance at Qin Muxue from time to time.
Duke Lu looked at the old lady:
"Mom, you are old and I still worry about you."
The old lady said, "Once you enter the Lu family, you are a member of the Lu family. Miss Qin must have never been to the palace. You don't know that the palace rules are strict. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. Let me teach you the rules."
Duke Lu glanced at Qin Muxue:
"Why don't you kneel down quickly and thank the old lady for her teachings?"
Qin Muxue ate her meal calmly. While they were talking, she had already finished half a bowl of rice and was still chewing.
He reached out his chopsticks to pick up some food.
Madam Lu's eyes darkened: "Miss Qin, the master and the old lady are talking to you!"
Qin Muxue frowned:
"Which country are you from? You don't even know the rules of not talking while eating or sleeping? You keep talking with your mouth open, spitting saliva all over the food. How can others eat?"
"you!"
Mrs. Lu's face flushed with shame and anger.
She is the daughter of a seventh-rank scholar in the Hanlin Academy!
She is of noble status, how could she allow Qin Muxue to belittle her!
"Miss Qin, you..."
"Noisy."
Qin Muxue raised the chopsticks, took the food from her mouth, put it on the plate, and picked up the fried pork with peppers more than a dozen times.
Then he quickly put the chopsticks into his mouth, sipped them, and then put them into the soup bowl and stirred them three times.
She went back and forth seven or eight times, and all the dishes on the table were poked by her saliva-soaked chopsticks.
The old lady's eyes widened:
"You...you don't use serving chopsticks! Who taught you to eat like this? How can we eat if you do this?"
Qin Muxue sucked on her chopsticks and said considerately:
"I see you're all busy talking and aren't hungry. Since you don't want to eat, Senior Brother Lu and I will eat."
After saying this, he smiled and inserted his chopsticks into the egg custard and stirred it several times.
“You! You…”
"You are totally uneducated!"
Qin Muxue smiled and picked up some food for Lu Yunchu, "Brother Lu, eat."
Lu Yunchu smiled and served her some soup. "Xuexue, eat more so you can have more energy at night."
The two of them were in love, oblivious to the people around them.
Lu Yingying raised her chopsticks, but every dish had been stirred by Qin Muxue. She was really disgusted by having to eat this woman's saliva.
What to eat!
Not eating anymore!
He threw down his chopsticks and said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm full. I'm going back to the house first!"
So disgusting.
The old lady was also furious, "I'm full too!"
Just seeing this couple makes me so angry.
He picked up his crutches and left angrily.
Mrs. Lu hurriedly chased after the old lady and said, "Mother-in-law, please don't be angry. Take care of yourself."
It was a nice meal, but everyone left. Duke Lu naturally lost his mood. He looked coldly at the two people who were eating with affection, but the two of them acted as if nothing had happened and didn't even look at him.
Damn it!
He endured it!
Be patient for one more day!
Throwing away the chopsticks, "Let you eat!"
He leaves!
When he stood up, he saw Lu Yeyang still sitting there, preparing to pick up some food, so he raised his hand and picked him up.
Lu Yeyang: "Dad?"
"What are you still standing here for? You're so angry. Come with me!"
"???"
They were angry, why did they take him away?
He wants to stay and have dinner with Miss Qin!
He wants to eat!
He doesn't mind Miss Qin's saliva!
-
The Imperial Palace.
Inside the bedroom, two palace maids knelt on the ground, carefully arranging the king's clothes and sachets, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
The king spread his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for the maid to finish her service.
Emperor Sangnan was a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a serious look and the majesty of a king between his brows. However, Sangnan was only a small border country in the southern territory, far inferior to the Great Chu.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, a eunuch came running over with a whisk in his hand.
"The envoy reported that a letter was received!"
Emperor Sang Nan suddenly opened his eyes: "What did you say?"
credentials?
Because the territory of Sannan is small, its financial resources and military strength are average, it has been keeping to itself for many years, not participating in wars, and not offending neighboring countries, always taking the path of self-preservation.
"It was sent from the State of Chu!" the eunuch handed it over with both hands.
The gold-stamped cover of the imperial letter was thick and heavy. The square book was engraved with a dragon totem unique to the Great Chu, and reflected a complex and lengthy word "Chu", showing the style of a great country.
Emperor Sang Nan’s heart sank.
In recent years, I heard that Da Chu had been plagued by internal and external troubles. Even though it had fought wars for four or five years, which had cost the people a lot of money and labor, its national strength had not been reduced at all.
Why did a letter from credence come suddenly?
Could it be that Da Chu wants to expand its territory towards him?
"Show it!"
Emperor Sang Nan was uneasy and had prepared for the worst. However, when he opened the letter, he saw a line of unfamiliar and niche words:
Qin Muxue, my sister, if you make a move, I will kill you, understand?
Emperor Sang Nan fell silent.
The words are concise and the handwriting is a bit ugly...
