The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 176 I don’t know martial arts. If we encounter danger, I will be a hindrance.

"Hey! Why do you always contradict me? You were not like this before!" Lu Guan was so angry that he almost slammed the table. This man's true nature was now completely exposed. Humph, he is really fickle!
"Tsk, that's because I've come to terms with it. We can't give up the whole forest because of one tree, right, boss!"

"Hahaha, yes, and it's a crooked tree, haha!"

"Yeah!" Sheng Wanqiu and Han Qingqing sang in unison, and finally clapped their hands in return, making Lu Guan so angry that he jumped to his feet.

I can't even beat them in an argument or a meal! Lu Guan angrily went to the kids' table next door to get the grilled lamb chops.

"When are you going up the mountain? I'll let Lingsi stay to help you." Lu Li handed Sheng Wanqiu a glass of peach blossom wine and asked softly.

"Aren't you going? You should be fine with climbing the mountain now, right?" Sheng Wanqiu took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The peach blossom wine was sweet and mellow, very much to her liking.

"I don't know martial arts. If we encounter danger, I will just be a hindrance." Lu Li forced a helpless smile, his face looking very lonely.

"I thought it was a big deal. I'll protect you. Let's go and see it together. It'll be more lively with more people!" Sheng Wanqiu patted Lu Li's shoulder comfortingly.

Lu Li: Hehe, she invited me to dig for treasure!

Ling Er: No, hehe, the master is really acting! He thinks that these martial arts masters are just decorations!
"Yes, Lu Li, let's go together. I also know martial arts. Let's go, let's go!" Han Qingqing said.

"Okay then, I'll bring a few more guards with me and I definitely won't hold you back!" Lu Li pretended to think and nodded.

"Come on, cheers, I wish us a successful treasure hunt!" Sheng Wanqiu raised the wine glass towards the two of them.

"Okay, cheers, I wish us immediate success!" Han Qingqing also raised the glass in her hand.

"Cheers!" Lu Li also raised his glass with a smile, and the three of them clinked glasses successfully.

"Hey, hey, hey, do you still care about me? I'm the leader! You're not going to take me with you!" Lu Guangang came back with grilled lamb chops and happened to hear the conversation between the three people. He almost cried with anger.

"Okay, then I'll take you with me. Do you have a treasure map? Take it out and show it to me!" Sheng Wanqiu hooked her finger at him.

"That's more like it. Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean take me with you? I mean I'll take you with me!"

"Forget it. I won't bother with you. Here, this is the treasure map." Lu Guan took out a wrinkled and torn cowhide from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Sheng Wanqiu.

"Were the holes there originally? Or were they bitten by ants later?" Sheng Wanqiu spread out the cowhide and looked at it again and again. She couldn't understand what the weird symbols drawn on it were. It was full of small holes and smelled musty.

"I don't know. When I got it, there were already these holes on it. Do you see what the problem is?"

Lu Guan had studied this cowhide treasure map before and asked several old Taoist priests to help him look at it, but he still couldn't understand it. He thought Sheng Wanqiu had seen some clues.

"Take a look, can you tell what's drawn on it?" Sheng Wanqiu handed the spread-out tattered cowhide to Lu Li. She thought that since this kid had read so many books, he would definitely be able to tell what the scribbles on it were.

Lu Li looked at it carefully and turned the picture over. He had a rough idea of ​​what it meant. He didn't understand the lines and boxes drawn on it, but he seemed to have seen the words on it in a book. It seemed to be a secret code of the Wei State, circulated only among the royal family of the Wei State.

He was now sure that the treasure map was real. His unreliable uncle had finally proven to be reliable for once.

"The writing on it is Wei State secret code. I can't make out what it says specifically. But if you turn the pattern on it upside down, what does it look like?"

Lu Li placed the torn cowhide on the small table, and the other three immediately crowded over to take a look.

"Is this the mountain map of Daqing Mountain? Is it right?" Sheng Wanqiu took a look and said. She had seen the topographic map in Songhe Restaurant before.

"Yeah!" Lu Li nodded in affirmation.

"What are these little holes on it?" Han Qingqing poked at the holes curiously.

"Could it be that a small hole represents a treasure hiding place?" Sheng Wanqiu asked thoughtfully.

"What about the secret code on it? What does it say?" Lu Guan picked up the cowhide and looked at it carefully and asked.

"What else can it be written about? It's just about the death of tomb robbers and some alarmist and frightening words!" Han Qingqing rolled her eyes at Lu Guan.

"How about we give it a try first, and start excavating the way we want to? What do you think?" Sheng Wanqiu decided. She was impatient, and since she had a rough idea, she wanted to give it a try. Procrastination wasn't her style. "Boss, I'll listen to you!" Han Qingqing responded immediately.

"Okay, let's try it first! I agree!" Lu Guan also wanted to try it again. This time there were more people, and he was not afraid of tigers.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lu Li also nodded and agreed to Sheng Wanqiu's method.

So the four of them started discussing when to set off and what tools to bring, and they were chatting very enthusiastically.

The scene at the Qiao family's dinner table in Beijing was so solemn and so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Dad, if you have anything to say or anything to ask, just say it. We are all hungry."

Qiao Guanjie really couldn't hold it in any longer, and he had to speak out even if he was beaten with a feather duster. His father sat on the high seat without saying a word, looking like an old Bodhisattva, which made people feel uneasy. It seemed that he was going to do something naughty again.

Shao Qiuyun stealthily tugged at her husband's sleeve and said, "Good boy, you really dare to ask! Don't hurt her. She doesn't want to copy the family rules yet."

Yu Wanxiu, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and Jiang Hui, the minister of the Honglu Temple, looked at each other and carefully examined each other's clothes. They were both wearing casual clothes and were sure that there was nothing wrong with them. It seemed that their father-in-law would not point the finger at them.

Especially Jiang Hui. One time, he came here in his official uniform after hurriedly leaving the court. He was almost scolded by his father-in-law, who said that he was arrogant and was using his official status to suppress him. God is my witness, who can suppress him?
The fourth son of the Jiang family and the fourth son of the Yu family also prayed secretly in their hearts, God, please don’t let your grandfather notice him!

Qiao Ruoxuan and Qiao Ruofan were also winking at each other. This was her father's old routine. He would first pretend to be profound to scare them, and then catch someone by surprise and scold them harshly. No one knew who the unlucky person would be today.

"Ahem! I have something to announce. Yuyi, you go ahead and say it!" Seeing that the time was almost right, Qiao Wenyuan climbed down the ladder given by Qiao Guanjie.

Qiao Yuyi was stunned when his name was called. He was also confused. What was going on? How come he didn't know? His grandfather didn't tell him, so what did he say?
"Aunt!" Qiao Yuchen became anxious when she saw her elder brother's silly look. What else could it be? Only this matter was worth talking about. She quickly used her mouth to give her brother silent hints.

Qiao Wenyuan glared at Qiao Guanjie and said, "Look at the stupid son you gave birth to. The Qiao family is in danger!"
After receiving the reminder from his sister, Qiao Yuyi remembered that it was this matter. Hehehe, his grandfather didn't even give him a hint and asked him to speak rashly. How would he know what to say?
"My grandfather adopted a goddaughter. My aunt is very smart. Last time, my sister ran away and was almost sold by human traffickers. It was my aunt who saved her. She is good at martial arts and looks pretty, too. Hehe!" Qiao Yuchen said with a naive smile.

Qiao Yuchen: ??? Okay, okay, you’re repaying kindness with enmity, eh? Who told you to say this in public? Just wait!

Sure enough, everyone's eyes were all looking at Qiao Yuchen who was trying to hide himself. There was concern, blame, inquiry, and excitement in their eyes. Hey hey hey!

What's with all the excitement? Who is it? Stand up!
"It was my mistake too. I promise I won't run around again next time!" Qiao Yuchen withstood the pressure and stood up to express his determination.

"Okay, sit down! Learn more from your aunt in the future. Although she is a few years younger than you, she is much calmer than you."

Qiao Wenyuan waved at Qiao Yuchen, indicating that he should sit down quickly and stop standing there and getting in the way.

"What? Dad, do you mean that your goddaughter is younger than Chen'er???" Qiao Ruofan shouted in surprise, and then cast an inquiring look at Qiao Yuchen. This girl wrote a letter to complain, but she didn't say that this little sister is younger than her. What is her father doing?

The Qiao sisters had known the news for a long time, but they didn't know that their godsister was so young.

Qiao Yuchen: ??? Sao Rui, you were so busy complaining that you didn’t write down the main point!

"Bring the things up and give them to them!" Qiao Wenyuan was not panicked at all. He knew that this was the time to give the little girl an expensive gift, so he waved to the old butler.

The old housekeeper immediately asked someone to bring out two large oil-paper bags and placed them in front of the two ladies.

Qiao Ruoxuan didn't react as much as her sister. She just frowned at the big oil paper bag in front of her. What the hell is this? It's wrapped like this!

When she opened it, she was completely shocked. It was ginseng! It was not much thinner than a child's arm. It must be thousands of years old!!!

The four sons beside her were also stunned. Such a huge gift would surely make their mother's mouth crooked and she would be unable to say anything.

"Well, our little sister is just too polite. Age can only represent a number. Although my little sister is young, look at how polite she is. You guys should learn from her!"

What does it mean to turn the gun in time? Qiao Ruofan was so skilled in using it. He was just complaining about his young age, but now he was completely defeated by the gift.

Jiang Hui simply couldn't bear to look at his wife. Tsk tsk tsk! Where's that energy just now? Keep shouting!
"Dad, didn't my little sister come back with you this time?" Qiao Ruoxuan said slowly. Of course, her hands did not stop. She quickly wrapped the oil paper bag back and handed it to her personal maid.
