below the lord

"Today is New Year's Eve, does Sister Lu Li really want to stay?"

"En." Lu Li smiled and nodded to Nian Dong.

Lu Li is the adopted daughter of City Lord Jiang. Half a month ago, she was ordered by her father to come to make peace with City Lord Nian.

Over the past few months, disturbed by rumors, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to matchmaking with their relatives.Although they were all rejected by City Lord Nian, Lu Li was an exception.

After all, she is the adopted daughter of City Lord Jiang. Even if she fails to get married with City Lord Nian, she will be the next City Lord of Jiang City. It would be embarrassing to drive her home as a guest. Who knows, this sitting will last for half a month.The city lord Nian sent people to hint several times, but this Miss Lu Li always hesitated as if she was suffering.

"Aren't you going home?"

"Ah."

"Won't you miss City Lord Jiang?"

Lu Li's eyes dimmed, he opened his mouth, but didn't speak.After a while, he quietly said:

"Let's go buy some New Year's goods for City Lord Nian."

"Okay, okay." Nian Dong happily jumped down from the stone steps, and could go out to play with him again, forgetting the question just now.

Greeting a chauffeur, Lu Li took his personal maid and went out of the mansion with Nian Dong.

Although he was shopping for new year's goods, Lu Li's expression was in a trance and he was absent-minded. He just fell behind in the winter of the year and did not get lost along the way.

Nian Dong was very interested, like a little monkey just out of the cage, looking around and looking around, until he stopped at a small stall for a while.

It turned out that an old man carved the lettering on the side of the road.

"Master, do you want to engrave characters?" The old man narrowed his eyes, his wrinkled face was blown by the cold wind, showing the vicissitudes of life.

"Can I ask you...to help me engrave the words correctly?" Nian Dong asked uncertainly.

"Of course." The old man smiled kindly, "I don't know what you want to engrave on it."

Nian Dong thought for a while, and took out a round stone ball the size of glutinous rice balls from his sleeve pocket.

"Winter characters are engraved on one side, and summer characters are engraved on the other side."

In this way, the stone ball turned into an unusual dice, except for the two people whose names were engraved, in the eyes of others, they couldn't see why, it was just a little thing carved for fun.

But the words on it caught Lu Li's attention, and a stone ball brought back his soul after his fugue along the way.

"Is the word Xia the summer of City Lord Nian?" Lu Li, who was watching quietly from the side, asked curiously.

"Yeah, summer is the summer of Nianxia, ​​and winter is the winter of Niandong." Niandong said happily, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he whispered in Lu Li's ear

"This is a gift for Nian Xia, please don't tell City Lord Nian."

Seeing that this shit doesn't look like anything valuable, but the speaker has nothing to say, and the listener has thoughts.When Lu Li saw Niandong's shy face, and then looked at the stone ball engraved with two sides of winter and summer, he felt like something between lovers, and unconsciously felt a bitter taste in his heart. .

As for the rumor that the personal servant of City Lord Nian in front of him is actually City Lord Nian's concubine, I have heard a little bit about it since Lu Li came to City Lord Nian's mansion.Usually, the city lord of Nian Dong is very caring and caring towards Nian Dong, and there are occasional small gestures of intimacy, presumably the rumors are not groundless.Now if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Li would rather believe that the rumors are just rumors.

"I heard that you were bought from a prostitute's brothel by City Lord Nian."

The sudden insertion of such a question made Nian Dong stunned for a moment, then nodded his head, and then quickly shook his head a series of times.

"I was caught there, and it was the master who saved me."

Lu Li smiled.

"No matter what the reason is, if you can't help yourself, if you go there, you can only become an item and let it be traded. And the people who go to that place, no matter how dignified and dignified they are, don't they all go there to do those dirty things."

"Nonsense! The master is not that kind of person, the master is the best!"

"Then tell me, why did he go to the brothel to save you by such a coincidence that day?"

Lu Li's questioning made Nian Dong speechless, and he was very angry, but he couldn't give any reason to refute.

Afterwards, Nian Dong no longer had the heart to linger around the world, and even forgot about her mother-in-law who planned to stop by to see her in Jiaodao.Along the way, I sat in the carriage full of anger, muffled, like a steamed bun just out of the cage, swollen and hot, as if it would spray hot juice if it was accidentally broken.

When the carriage strolled slowly through the market, the maid beside Lu Li suddenly pointed out the window and shouted.

"Isn't that City Lord Nian?"

Nian Dong was surprised and hurried over to have a look.

For a moment, everything in front of me is unreal, like a stage that has been choreographed.Nian Dong saw it clearly, not far away, Nian Xia was carefully entering the door of the male prostitute's brothel, just now Lu Li's words echoed in his ears again.

"Did City Lord Nian go to save people again?" Lu Li laughed again, laughing that everyone in the world is the same, and laughing that he can't even compare to male prostitutes.Even if the city owner of Xiaonian went to the kiln to have fun, he would not look down on him.Laughter is also a fun thing, but I am already worn out.
