Chapter 260 Birthday Banquet ([-])

Shen Gai came back in a daze, and everyone saw that he was in a bad mood, so they stopped talking and dispersed.

Friend Liu Huan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother Shen, what happened?"

Shen Gai heaved a long sigh, "I'm so ashamed this time."

"why?"

You also saw that man just now, he turned out to be Miss Lu's future husband-in-law.

"No way! Miss Lu never mentioned that she was already engaged."

"We're only meeting for the third time. Of course she can't talk about this kind of thing, but she actually told me in front of that man. Isn't that humiliating me?"

"Who is that man?"

"I forgot what his surname was. At that time, my mind was blank, as if he was a general of the Western Army."

Liu Huan lost her voice: "A general?"

"That's right! Why is he a general?" Shen Gai also came to his senses.

"Brother Shen, you are right! Mr. Lu will marry his granddaughter to a general? Impossible."

Shen should scratch his head, it is really impossible, generals are too low in the court, but except for Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others, others are not ranked at all, most ministers will not marry their daughters General, let alone Lu Yihao.

"Then what happened to him?"

"Maybe Miss Lu deliberately tested your determination." Liu Huan opened his mind.

"impossible!"

After all, Shen Gai is Tanhua, not so stupid, not to mention that Lu Xiu is a very principled woman, she would never call other men her future husband so casually, it must be true.

"Or, let me inquire about it! How about seeing the truth?"

"Then please, Brother Xian!"

Liu Huan walked away quickly, and Shen Gai sat alone in the pavilion in a daze. After a long while, he sighed and got up and left.

In fact, Shen should be the current researcher, as long as he is willing, hundreds of girls in the mansion are eager to marry him, but other girls are trying to curry favor with him, but Lu Xiu is not false to him, but attracts him.

In particular, Lu Xiu is the granddaughter of Lu Yihao, a political official, which made Shen Gai determined to marry Lu Xiu as his wife. He was preparing to let his parents go to the Lu family to propose a marriage these days, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, and Lu Xiu's The appearance of her fiancé really broke Shen Gai's heart.

In the big tent, Lu Xiu met her best friend Li Meier. Li Meier is the daughter of Li Jiong, the prefect of Jiangling, and she has promised to Lu Yihao's second grandson. With this relationship, Lu Xiu has a very good relationship with her.

Li Meier couldn't help but drag Lu Xiu to a group of young girls to throw a pot of arrows, so Lu Xiu had no choice but to part with Chen Qing temporarily.

"You little hoof, Chunxin finally moved, tell me honestly, who is he?" Li Meier forced Lu Xiu to ask.

Lu Xiu said angrily: "Although you haven't seen him, but you know who he is, in your heart, am I such a casual woman?"

Li Meier blinked, "Is he Chen Qing?"

"Of course it's him!"

Li Meier looked at Chen Qing carefully, then suddenly covered her mouth and smiled and said: "I see, you are not painting Huo Qubing, or you are painting your own husband, it really looks a bit like it."

"You should take care of yourself! My elder brother is also here, but you are not with him. Be careful that his soul will be taken away by other girls!"

"Didn't he talk about the Poetry Club with you? I'm too lazy to join in the fun, hey! Chen Qing met that Mr. Shen?"

Lu Xiu nodded, "I'm really afraid he might misunderstand, there are too many gossip outside."

"You said you didn't care, but now you're worried again."

"Hey! I just think that the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid, but I forgot his feelings. I didn't think carefully, and I should have told Shen Gai clearly."

"Don't worry, if he doesn't even have this confidence, it means that he is not a magnanimous person, and he is not worthy of entrusting him for life."

"You know, I had little contact with him before, and there was no real engagement. It was just a promise from my grandfather. I'm a little worried now."

"Worried about your grandfather repenting?"

Lu Xiu nodded, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes, "He came to visit my grandfather the night before yesterday, but I didn't know that my grandfather kept it from me."

"Then you should clearly tell your grandfather your own attitude. As long as you are firm, he will consider it."

Lu Xiu nodded slowly, she was going to show her attitude to her grandfather tonight.

Chen Qing didn't have time to participate in the pot throwing. He met a young official who admired him, Zhao Wenxin, the director of the Military Weapons Supervision. He was the third son of Xiangguo Zhao Ding, and he was born in the imperial examination. Chat, I didn't expect such a coincidence.

"I heard from my father that you used super-large trebuchets in Fort Ganquan. I have always been puzzled. How did you make the throw?"

Chen Qing smiled slightly: "The throw was captured from Xixia's supply team."

Suddenly, Zhao Wenxin slapped his fist and said: "No wonder! A long throwing rod can't be made in ten years. I guess it was one of the three throwing rods that Tong Guan took to attack Xixia back then, and was captured by the Xixia army."

"It should be, but unfortunately there is only one. I want to know if the Military Weapons Supervisor has it in stock?"

Zhao Wenxin shook his head, "There were more than a dozen speculative stones before, all of which were made into super-large speculative stones and installed at the pier along the river. They are used to deal with enemy warships, and there is no stock."

Chen Qing thought of another thing, and said to Zhao Wen: "It's fine if you don't have one, but now we are researching large-scale fire kites, but we always fail. Does the Military Weapons Supervision have any craftsmen in this field? Can they be sent to us?"

"There must be artisans, but they are generally not dispatched. This is a principle. It is useless for you to apply, but I can give the general an idea."

"you say!"

"There is an old craftsman named Xie Changzhi who returned home because of a disability. He is a master at making fire kites. You can take his family to Ganquan Castle."

"He should be a craftsman! Will the court allow it?"

"The military inspector thought he was dead a long time ago, and his name was cancelled. Unexpectedly, he escaped to Lin'an. Last month, he came to the military inspector to ask for supplies. We didn't know he was in Lin'an, but his name has been canceled. There is no way to control him anymore, the general can take him away."

Chen Qing was overjoyed, "Brother Zhao, please give me his address, I will visit him in two days."

"No problem, I'll give it to you later."

"Wang, do you want to be ashamed?"

Suddenly a familiar voice came from not far away, it was Hu Yantong's voice.

Everyone looked towards the corner of the big tent, and saw Hu Yantong holding a long sword, glaring at a group of people, it was Wang Bo and his accomplices.

And not far away, Lu Xiu was standing with another young woman, her face was a little pale.

Chen Qing hurriedly apologized to Zhao Wenxin, and he hurried over.

Chen Qing stepped forward and patted Hu Yantong on the shoulder, "What happened?"

"I'm looking for you! These bastards are bullying Miss Lu."

"what!"

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes into a line, and shot at Wang Bo fiercely.

Wang Bo felt a little apprehensive, and said with a dry smile, "It's boring here, let's go play somewhere else!"

He turned around and took a few accomplices to sneak away, at the moment when he was about to leave the tent, suddenly his neck felt a sharp pain, Chen Qing had already stepped forward, pinched his neck, and dragged him out of the tent.

"Let go! Ah - please let go!" Wang Bo yelled hoarsely in pain.

"How dare you tease my woman!"

Chen Qing whispered in his ear: "You are dead this time!"

"How dare I molested Xiangguo's granddaughter, so I just said something sarcastic."

"Sanlang, let him go!" Lu Xiu appeared at the door of the big tent to persuade Chen Qing.

Chen Qing turned around and nodded to her, then lowered his voice and asked, "What did you say?"

"Relax, it hurts me to death"

Chen Qing relaxed a little, "Hurry up!"

"I just said that her fiancé, whom she had been engaged to since she was a child, is not dead and is an official in the Bianliang Imperial Prison."

"You didn't touch her?"

"I swear to God, none of us dared to cause trouble in Zhang's residence, and we never touched a single hair of her."

"roll!"

Chen Qing let him go, and Wang Bo and his accomplices ran away scrambling.
