Chasing the gods in Zongwudang

"This is a big loss. Just now I ordered food from a restaurant, and it cost me more than 50 taels of silver. My God, this is my salary for three months!" Zhan Hongling took Murong Xian's hand and complained softly.

Her eyes fell on Lu Cheng from time to time, hoping that Lu Cheng could find out with a conscience.It's a pity that Lu Cheng was not moved by her words at all, and now he can't wait to see what his new 'home' is like.

Seeing that Lu Cheng didn't answer, Zhan Hongling wanted to talk to Murong Xian, but Murong Xian pulled her away casually, and followed along honestly.

They walked east all the way, and within less than a stick of incense, they came to the gate of the house that Murong Xian bought.

Lu Cheng looked around curiously. There are high-level courtyards nearby. Although they are not as grand as the dignitaries in the inner city, they are considered to be of a good quality in the outer city. Ordinary people can't buy them even if they want to buy them. of.

Seeing Lu Cheng observing the surroundings, Murong Xian introduced, "There are rich businessmen and some lower-level officials from the capital living here. Sister Hong Ling helped to say hello to the household department before buying it."

As long as they are human, there will be differences in status, and Lu Cheng will not deliberately find a way to stay in order to maintain his own nobility.Besides, Murong Xian bought this place, how could he refuse such kindness.

Zhan Hongling took the opportunity to act obediently, "For this yard, I asked the old man who caught God to approve a note. This house is at least 3000 taels cheaper than the market price, but you still want me to spend money to treat guests. Is there any reason? Wang Fa?"

If ordinary people heard what Zhan Hongling said, they would admit their mistakes humbly and express their apologies to Zhan Hongling.

But Lu Cheng and Murong Xian here are not ordinary people. There is no such thing as an apology.

"Go, go in and have a look!"

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Son!"

A familiar voice sounded, and Lu Cheng raised his eyes to look, only to see Liu Jing was wearing a strong outfit, holding a long sword, dripping with sweat, most of her clothes were sticking to her body, which looked very interesting.

Look no further.

Lu Cheng turned his head directly, "It's Jing'er!"

Just as Liu Jing wanted to get closer, she was pushed to the backyard by Zhan Hongling, "My dear sister! What are your clothes like? Why don't you hurry up and wash up and change your clothes before you come out!"

After being reminded by Zhan Hongling, Liu Jing noticed her situation, blushed, and then ran to the backyard to change clothes.

"Lu Cheng, how are you doing?" Zhan Hongling turned to Lu Cheng and asked.

Lu Cheng was a little confused, "How about what?"

"I still want to argue!" Zhan Hongling walked up to Lu Cheng with a smirk on her face, "Just now Liu Jing's clothes were half wet and stuck to her body, I don't believe you don't want to take a closer look."

Lu Cheng: '...! '

Speechless!

After quietly looking at Murongxian, and finding that her expression was normal and not angry, Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.If he had to choose someone to stay, then it would definitely be Murong Xian, not Liu Jing.

Zhan Hongling turned to Murong Xian, and said earnestly, "Look, Xian'er, he has nothing to say. Let me tell you, men are all philandering radishes. They eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot. You must not Give him a chance!"

Murongxian looked at Zhan Hongling in astonishment, she didn't expect that Zhan Hongling's topic would change so quickly, and it would end up on herself.

"Sister, dear sister!"

Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and tugged at Zhan Hongling's sleeve, "Stop talking, if you keep talking, I feel like I'll be single for the rest of my life."

"Don't worry!" Zhan Hongling patted her chest to reassure her, "I have so many girls under my command, Xian'er doesn't like you, other people will blindly look at you."

Murong Xian: 'Am I blind? '

Lu Cheng: "Only the blind can fall in love with me!" '

For a while, both of them were unhappy.However, Zhan Hongling didn't notice it yet, and she was still talking to herself, "It's a pity to leave such a good yard to you, why don't you and I move here too, Xian'er! I think the guest room over there That's right, I don't want to live in Linglong Bieyuan at that time, so I can stay here for two days to relax."

"No, please don't!" Lu Cheng directly refused.

Zhan Hongling looked helpless, "You are employing people to look forward, not to look backward! Anyway, I have the credit for this house, okay, don't you two be so unfeeling? Besides, you two are not married yet, I am here It’s also to prevent the two of you from making mistakes.”

Lu Cheng quietly glanced at Murong Xian again, feeling an itch in his heart.

Can he say he's tempted to make a mistake?

The premise is that Murong Xian is willing.

but……

"Xian'er, do you live here too?" Lu Cheng asked with some trepidation in his heart.

"This is so fresh! My little sister Xian'er spent money to buy a house, so can't I live here?" Zhan Hongling teased.

Lu Cheng quickly explained, "That's not what I mean, I mean it's really great that Xian'er can live here."

"Hey, you're done!"

Zhan Hongling took Murong Xian's hand, and the two walked towards the backyard side by side.

"This is a courtyard with three entrances. The front is the living room and the study. It is mainly used for receiving guests and working. The middle is the guest room for the master. Xian'er lives in one. I originally wanted another room, but Xian'er said it was Keep it for you, don't let me use it, sisters for so many years! After all, they can't resist the temptation of men!"

This also said how much resentment, how much resentment.

Those who didn't know thought that Zhan Hongling was abandoned by some heartless person!

Murongxian rolled her eyes helplessly. She doesn't like to talk, but it's really a disadvantage for her to talk to Zhan Hongling.

"Sister, it's fine. If you're really free, you can go to the side and have a look. The two of us are here to hang around!" Lu Chenggong couldn't bear it anymore, and once again yelled at Zhan Hongling.

"You..." Zhan Hongling was so angry that she was speechless.

"Sister Hong Ling!"

Murong Xian suddenly said, "If you like, you can share a room with me."

"Really, I knew that you are the best Xian'er!" After receiving Murong Xian's affirmative reply, Zhan Hongling hugged her excitedly, and then ran to the backyard, "I'll go and see Liu Jing, and I'll give you two A little privacy would be nice."

Seeing Zhan Hongling leaving in a hurry, Lu Cheng was a little puzzled.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with Miss Hongling today?"

In the past, Zhan Hongling was generous and organized, and she was not as petty as she is today.

Murong Xiandao: "This courtyard is different from Linglong Bieyuan. For me, I bought this yard and it belongs to me completely. It can be regarded as my 'small home' in the capital, while Linglong Bieyuan is just my office. The nature of the two places is different.”

It was so!

It's because of 'home'!

Lu Cheng understood.

There is a significant difference between Central Plains people and people from other countries, that is, their sense of belonging to 'home'.It is true that Zhan Hongling is the God of the Six Gates, but she is also a woman, a Central Plains woman.

Compared with Linglong Bieyuan, where the six-door female catcher lives, the environment of this house is not worse than 01:30, but this small courtyard has a 'home' feeling, which Linglong Bieyuan can't match.

Home is the harbor of the soul, here, you don't have to intrigue, you can let the soul completely quiet down.No matter how good the residence is, it cannot be changed.

"In this way, we all have to thank you, Xian'er. If you hadn't bought this yard, I would have been homeless at night. So in order to repay your kindness, I decided..."

Murong Xian looked directly at Lu Cheng, and just looking at him straightly made Lu Cheng a lot more serious.

Lu Cheng continued: "Promise with your body to repay Xian'er for your kindness, okay?"

Murong Xian blinked, said nothing, turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Lu Cheng doesn't understand, if he doesn't answer, should he agree or not? Give me a good word!

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

There was a knock on the door.

"Boy Lu, I know you are at home, open the door quickly!"

Zhui Ming's voice really sounded like "Zui Ming", which made Lu Cheng's good mood dissipate a lot.

"There's no boy Lu here, and we won't accept guests today, so go!" Lu Cheng ran to the back of the door while speaking, holding the door firmly with both hands to prevent people from outside from breaking in.

"No way! Boy Lu, you're going too far for blocking the door!" Zhui Ming pushed the door open, and was speechless when he found Lu Cheng blocking the door.

As for it!

He has been chasing his life for so long, except for the troublesome procedures in the palace, other places, even the palace, have never refused him like this.

I have learned a lot, I really have learned a lot.

"It's not convenient today, please go back!" Lu Cheng's attitude was also firm.

Zhui Ming: "I brought food and wine here, not for eating and drinking."

'Crack! '

The door opened, and Lu Cheng greeted him with a smile. Seeing that Zhuiming was holding a food box in his hand, his smile became even brighter.

"Oh, it turns out that the life-chasing hero came from afar, and he was greeted from afar, and he was greeted from afar!"

Tired of chasing after my life, "Boy Lu, does it mean that if I don't bring something today, I won't be able to enter this door?"

Lu Cheng took the food box from Zhuiming very politely, "The hero Zhuiming is joking. You are the idol of our Jianghu, the dream lover of many beauties, not to mention this small courtyard, even the palace ,you……"

"do not talk!"

There, he was going to listen to Lu Cheng praise his pursuit of life, and when he heard the word 'imperial palace', he immediately covered his mouth with his hand.

"You can't talk nonsense, don't talk about words involving the palace and the emperor in the future. You have lived enough, I haven't lived enough!" Zhui Ming whispered, and then looked around to make sure that there was nothing wrong. People paid attention to this, and just pushed Lu Cheng.

"Go in, don't stay at the door!"

Lu Cheng went in with the food box, silently remembering the warning of chasing his life.

As a time traveler, he doesn't have the same respect for the palace and the emperor as others.This era pays attention to "heaven, earth, ruler, relatives and teachers", and the status of the ruler is still above that of relatives and masters, and there is even a saying that "the ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die".

Lu Cheng didn't understand these things.

At the same time, he was also fortunate that there were warriors in the world he traveled through.Warriors are arrogant, especially evil sects and demons, who respect the strong and disdain traditional etiquette.With the existence of these people, Lu Cheng would not appear out of place in this world.

"Hero Life Chaser, can I ask you a question?" Lu Cheng asked very 'sincerely'.

Chaiming's back felt cold, and he looked at Lu Cheng vigilantly, "I said you boy, don't trick me!"

Lu Cheng smiled and said: "How can this be called cheating? Besides, when have I cheated on you? For an honest and kind person like me, others call me an honest and reliable little man. I will never cheat anyone."

"Hehe, do you believe this sentence yourself?" Zhui Ming curled his lips, speechless at Lu Cheng's thick skin.

Lu Cheng looked sincere, "I believe it!"

Can you not believe what you say?

joke.

"roll!"

Unbearably chasing after his life, he directly sent sincere blessings to Lu Cheng, and then went to the living room to sit down on his own, without treating himself as an outsider at all.

"Boy Lu, good wine and tea are served, we will not get drunk today!"

Lu Cheng put the food box on the table, "Brother, I just came here too. This yard is bought by Xian'er, you don't think she will store drinks here! Besides, when we ordered food just now, as long as I drank two pots, so you understand!"

Zhui Ming looked at the food box with a guilty conscience, saw that Lu Cheng didn't say anything, got up and said, "Since there is no wine, then I'll go back first!"

"What are you going back for?" Zhan Hongling came in from the side door, saw that Zhui Ming was about to leave, and quickly asked, "Zui Ming, did Lu Cheng provoke you?"

"How could I provoke him!" Lu Cheng said aggrievedly.

Zhuiming smiled awkwardly, "No, nothing! I just want to drink. Since there is no one here, I will go back to Shenhou Mansion first."

"It feels so strange to you!"

Zhan Hongling looked at Zhui Ming suspiciously, in his perception, Zhui Ming shouldn't behave like this.Looking at his appearance, it always feels as if he has done something wrong.

Wait, sorry!

Zhan Hongling first looked at Lu Cheng, and then his attention was attracted by the food box on the table.

"This food box?"

Zhui Ming just wanted to speak, but Lu Cheng answered ahead of time, "It was brought by Zhui Ming, that's too polite."

"Really?" Zhan Hongling stepped forward, stretched out her hand to open the food box, saw the pattern on the back of the box cover, and then saw the vegetables in the food box, her face suddenly darkened.

"The life-seeking hero, what a coincidence!"

"The food and drink you ordered seems to be the same as the one I ordered just now?"

"And most importantly, this dish is exactly the same as what I want. Isn't it a coincidence?"

Facing Zhan Hongling's murderous eyes, Zhuiming's face was slightly embarrassed, "Maybe it's a coincidence! It's more likely that the waiter in the shop gave me the wrong one. Don't worry, I will teach the waiter in the shop a lesson. He will make that mistake again."

"Don't be so troublesome!"

Zhan Hongling stretched out her slender hand, and hooked her finger towards Zhui Ming, "I have drawn 100 taels of silver for this table, since you said that this table is for you, then you can fold it into cash and give it to me. Silver ingots It doesn't matter if it's gold, even if it's a silver ticket, I won't dislike it."

100 taels of silver!

You might as well grab it!

You are blackmailing, naked blackmailing!

"Sister Hongling, why are you doing this!" Lu Cheng suddenly jumped to Zhuiming's side, grabbed his shoulder, and looked at Zhan Hongling with righteous indignation.

Zhan Hongling was taken aback, boy, you dare to join the enemy.

"What's wrong with me, do you also think I did something wrong?"

Zhui Ming thought to himself: 'Yes, boy Lu, quickly say that she did something wrong, it's her fault!These will not exceed 60 taels at most, I really think that I am being taken advantage of in chasing my life! '

Lu Cheng was upright, and looked at Zhan Hongling without fear, "Of course you are wrong. These dishes cost 500 taels, how could you lower the price of these dishes without authorization just because Zhui Ming is an acquaintance!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhan Hongling showed surprise, watching Lu Cheng delay more and more. "That's right. I deliberately lowered the money for the sake of being an acquaintance. I admit my mistake!"

Chasing life: '...? '

It doesn't matter if 50 taels is 100 taels, but you actually want 500 taels from me, are you still human!
