We had a sumptuous lunch at home, mainly due to the various seasonings and ingredients, which almost made Zhu Yushan and Li Hanyu swallow them all with their tongues.
In the afternoon, Lu Zhengzheng mobilized his new carriage and took Zhu Yushan and his wife on a trip to Taohuaping. Only then did Zhu Yushan know that Lu Zheng actually had a Peach Blossom Fairy as his wife.
No wonder I don’t have time to work as an official...
Zhu Yushan shook his head, feeling that he had found the truth...
Li Hanyu didn't think much about it, but he was quickly attracted to mahjong and had a great time playing with Shen Ying, Liu Qingyan, and Xiaocui.
Lu Zheng didn't play the piano today to add to the fun. After all, he couldn't ignore the guests, right? So he took Zhu Yushan and laid out the chessboard, divided the black and white pieces, and talked about two games.
After playing two games in a row, Zhu Yushan felt that their chess skills were almost the same. They struggled for a long time in the middle game, but in the end he didn't think well and always lost two pieces, regrettably losing.
Later, when they got tired from playing chess, they held teacups and stood behind their wives to watch the game.
"This mahjong invented by Brother Lu... is quite interesting!" Zhu Yushan sighed, "I rarely see my wife being so interested in any game."
"Get rich!"
"bump!"
"Ninety thousand!"
"Haha, what a fool!"
"Give me money, give me money!" Li Hanyu happily spread out the remaining seven cards in front of him, which were Hu's sixty-nine thousand.
After accepting three copper coins, Li Hanyu happily pushed the card and said, "Keep going!"
"Sister Li, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can come and play often." Shen Ying said with a smile.
Li Hanyu turned back to look at Zhu Yushan, his eyes blinking, which made him panic, "Brother Lu and I are friends. It's naturally good for you to move around more."
"Hehe!" Li Hanyu turned around and continued to build the Great Wall.
Zhu Yushan blinked, feeling an ominous premonition.
"Don't worry." Lu Zheng and Zhu Yushan came to the yard to enjoy the peach blossoms. "My wife is also a cultivator, and her self-control is much stronger than ordinary people. Today is just the first time of contact, and I am very interested. She will get better in the future."
Zhu Yushan nodded, "Indeed, people are not sages, they need to examine themselves three times a day."
"Buzz!"
Three rays of luck enter the account.
Lu Zheng was quite satisfied, nodded and said silently, "Jade Seal, improve!"
Feeling the greatly improved aura in his body, Lu Zheng asked again, "Brother Zhu, have you started practicing?"
Zhu Yushan nodded, "My father-in-law taught me to practice the "Shui Yue Zhou Tian Inner Refining Method", and also practiced the Three Treasures to prolong life. I spend most of my time studying and practice less. Recently, I have developed a little sense of Qi.
"
After the words fell, Zhu Yushan raised his hand, and a slightly cool breath circulated around his hand, shining with a soft light.
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "It seems that it has only been two or three months since he got married, right?"
Fortunately, I am also a loser!
"Yeah." Lu Zheng nodded, "Brother Zhu, you have to work harder. Only when you are successful in practice and have a strong mind can you have the energy to do things for the people and relieve the people."
Zhu Yushan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. Brother Lu is right. What I thought before was wrong. I should pay more attention to my practice."
"Buzz!"
Two rays of luck entered the account.
Lu Zheng smacked his lips and turned to look at Zhu Yushan with a strange look in his eyes.
"Brother Lu?" Zhu Yushan looked at himself, his clothes were neat, and then touched his face, "What's there on my face?"
"No." Lu Zheng shook his head, "I just feel that Brother Zhu is an upright man and accepts advice humbly."
"This is a common thing. If you are a person of three, you must have a teacher like me. Choose the good ones and follow them. Isn't that what we should do?" Zhu Yushan said.
"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded, having a guess in his mind.
Zhu Yushan's opportunity has arrived. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the marriage in Lushui River God's Mansion. In addition, he is extremely talented in spiritual practice, so his luck is at its peak and his base is very large.
And the fact that I can get more out of him with just two words shows that his current luck base is based on this opportunity, and his own gradually accumulated experience and understanding have not been added to it.
Now I give him a few words to speed up his growth, and the new light of destiny sent by heaven to him, the jade seal begins to take shape.
Although the amount each time is not large, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If you pick them up a few times, it will still be a lot.
So, how much more can you grow?
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng turned his head and looked into the room, thinking to himself, you said that you are also an accomplished daughter of the Heshen Mansion, and you are obsessed with playing mahjong, and you don't want to change your luck at all?
…
In the middle of the afternoon, the girls stopped playing games and walked out of the Peach Blossom Village together, admiring the peach blossom forest in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Sure enough, the Tianshan Mountains are all red, and the ground is burning with clouds. It's so beautiful." Li Hanyu said.
"In a few months, the peach trees will bear fruit, and Sister Li will remember to come as a guest again." Shen Ying said with a smile.
"Of course they are here to cause trouble." Li Hanyu said with a smile.
After having a simple meal at Taohua Village, they said goodbye to Shen Ying and took a carriage back to Tonglin County. However, Zhu Yushan and his wife did not enter the city. Instead, they said goodbye to Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan and disappeared on the official road outside the city.
in the night.
"I really can't tell that Mr. Zhu has been taking the exam for twelve years, but he has never stepped into the examination room once!"
"There should be no problem this year. Moreover, the state examination will be held in May and the autumn will be held in October. Maybe he will be awarded the title of Juren before next year." Lu Zheng said, "The path after that depends on how he chooses."
"Judging from the fact that He Shen Mansion asked him to study and take exams, the bride-in-law is actually just a name." Liu Qingyan said.
"That's true. I don't know what the Lushui River God is thinking." Lu Zheng shook his head and decided not to think about it.
…
The next day, Liu Qingyan helped Lu Zheng get up, and then went directly from Lu's house to Renxintang.
After Lu Zheng tidied up, he left the city all the way, went into the mountains and forests, and headed towards the stalactite spring in the northeast.
It is said that since he discovered the stalactite spring, he has gone there almost every other month. Sometimes when it rains, the frequency of going will increase.
As for this time, it's because there have been too many things recently, and the delay has been a bit long. If we don't get some, Zima will be discontinued.
As before, Lu Zheng walked through the forest and came to the small valley next to the creek with familiarity. He quietly came to the cliff and stone wall, took out a few mineral water bottles and started to collect water.
Lu Zheng hadn't been here for a long time, and it hadn't rained recently, so the trickle of water seeping out of the stone wall was intermittent. Lu Zheng climbed up the mountain wall for another two feet before continuing in a gap.
I took a bottle.
"Well, how about this for now?" Lu Zheng looked at the two bottles of water in his hand, "The left and right are enough. We can come back when it rains someday."
Just as he was about to slide down the cliff, Lu Zheng heard a voice in his ear, "My friend, there is no shortage of springs in the cave. Come in and fill it up before leaving."
