Lu Zheng blinked and turned his eyes, unable to do anything.
He really didn't expect that he would be treated like this.
"Ahem!"
Lu Zheng coughed dryly, and then gave Shen Ying a chopstick to eat.
Then the jade foot shrank back.
Lu Zheng smacked his lips and breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little disappointed.
"Thank you, Lu Lang."
Shen Ying thanked her and looked at Hu Cainiang opposite her thoughtfully.
Hu Cainiang looked completely clueless and behaved very naturally.
"Cai Niang! Don't mess around!"
Hua Yixing scolded Hu Cainiang, smiled awkwardly, and then raised her glass to give a toast to Shen Ying.
"Cai Niang is just a bit flirty. From time to time she goes to the town and countryside to find some handsome scholars to have fun with for a night. Miss Shen and Mr. Lu, please forgive me."
I went over, and Lu Zheng immediately backed up tactically. It turned out to be a navy queen!
Decisively calming down the restless heart in his body, Lu Zheng showed a natural and polite smile, "It doesn't matter."
Lin Jing'er smiled narrowly, raised her glass to Lu Zhengxu, and drank it in one gulp, "It's okay, don't be afraid, Third Sister never forces others!"
Lu Zheng, "..."
Is this forced or not? Do I look weak?
Bai Ting'er looked around half-understanding, but she didn't realize what had just happened.
Yu Mingxin shrugged, holding back a laugh, then whispered a few words into Bai Ting'er's ear, and then Bai Ting'er's face suddenly turned red.
Lu Zheng was speechless...
What did you say? Hey! Why are we still transmitting messages when we are all together?
Then what are you trying to do by leaning over there, just to show off, to make yourself feel lonely?
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'll open the door!" Bai Ting'er, who couldn't stand Yu Mingxin's teasing, immediately jumped up and ran to open the door as if running away.
Lu Zheng looked at Hua Yixing. Didn't he say that Wuxiuzhuang is located in a remote place and no one comes here on weekdays?
Hua Yixing nodded, indicating that indeed few people came.
"Hello...girl, I...I seem to be lost. This country road is too difficult to recognize. Is the road to Xiahe Town going west from here?"
"You're on the wrong road. Going west from here goes into the mountains. You have to go back and go to the fork in the south and turn to the southwest."
"Oh, okay."
After a pause, the voice sounded again, "Well... I wonder if there is any food in the village, I am willing to buy some..."
Hua Yixing looked at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng naturally nodded, so Hua Yixing said loudly, "Ting'er, please invite that passerby in."
"Hey, okay!" Bai Ting'er said, "We are also having dinner. Come in, and I will prepare the dishes and chopsticks for you."
"Thank you, thank you! Sorry for the trouble!"
As Bai Ting'er came in, everyone saw a scholar in Tsing Yi following behind her. She was dressed in white washed clothes, with a delicate face, and she looked a little shy.
When he saw the table in the front hall, the scholar was stunned.
Good guy, the one who just opened the door was a fairy from a painting, and now there are five more stunning beauties. If it weren't for the presence of a scholar, the scholar would have thought he was in a fox's den.
"I've seen a few of them. Xiaosheng Ji Zizhen of Dingshan County has met this young master. I've met a few girls." The scholar hurriedly saluted.
"Come on, come on, Mr. Ji, come and sit down. Don't be polite." Hu Cainiang waved.
Realizing that Lu Zheng was not interested in her, after all, Shen Ying was better than her in appearance and temperament, so Hu Cainiang decisively changed her target and invited Ji Zizhen to take a seat.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Ji Zizhen first made a bow to everyone, and then sat down on the chair that Yu Mingxin brought for him.
At the same time, Bai Ting'er also brought bowls and chopsticks, placed them in front of Ji Zizhen, and received a series of thanks from him.
Hua Yixing raised her hand and said, "We also ate half of it, Mr. Ji, you don't have to be polite."
"Okay, thank you!"
Noriko was really hungry. Although the dishes were all vegetarian, she still ate a bowl of rice quickly and then added another bowl.
"Master Ji, are you going to Xiahe Town?" Hu Cainiang suddenly asked.
"Exactly." Noriko nodded, took the last bite of rice into her mouth, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although Xiahe Town is not close to here, if you take the wrong path, you can definitely walk there at night." Hu Cainiang said, "But now you missed the turnoff and walked three miles north. Now you can go back.
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to reach Xiahe Town before dark.”
"ah?"
Ji Zhen's face turned bitter when he heard this, "Can't I just walk faster?"
"The mountain road is difficult to travel. If you go too fast, you may be in danger."
Noriko really licked her lips. He also knew that walking in the mountains at night was dangerous, "I wonder if there is a place to stay overnight along the way?"
"It's just a town with over a thousand people. How can anyone make a living operating a hotel outside the town?"
"this……"
"It's better to stay in Zhuangzi for one night. It will be safer to leave early tomorrow morning."
"Is this...convenient?"
"We have a ready-made wing and bedding at home, Mr. Ji, please don't be polite."
In just a few words, Hu Cainiang arranged for Ji Zizhen to live in the village.
After deciding what to do tonight, Ji Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to Lu Zheng, "I was a little nervous and lost my temper just now, which made the young master laugh. I wonder what I call the young master?"
"Lu Zheng of Tonglin County has met Mr. Ji."
Ji Zizhen waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't dare. I'm a latecomer to the school. Brother Lu, just call me Zizhen. Brother Lu, you are..."
"We are also here as guests." Lu Zheng said, "The owner of this house is very enthusiastic."
"Exactly! Exactly!" Ji Zizhen nodded repeatedly, thinking that Lu Zheng was the same as him, "Brother Lu also took the wrong path?"
"Absolutely." Lu Zheng said with a smile, and turned to look at Hua Yixing, "Thanks to the hospitality of Miss Hua, Lu has had enough food and drinks, so I'll take my leave now."
"We've just reached a wonderful point in our conversation, why should Brother Lu be in such a hurry to leave?" Before Hua Yixing could say anything, Lin Jing'er left as a guest.
She and Lu Zheng had chatted about calligraphy and painting before. The two used their fingers as pens and wine as ink to write a few words on the table. It was when they got excited that they were interrupted by Hu Cainiang's behavior, which led to the follow-up
incident.
"It's getting late, and the city gate will be closed later. We'll have more time in the future, so we'll just chat when we have the chance." Lu Zheng smiled, and then asked Hua Yixing, "Master Ji, why don't you stay here for one night?"
Is it something?"
Hua Yixing nodded, "Of course nothing happens."
"That's good." Lu Zheng nodded. Judging from the current situation, these five women are not evil. Even Hu Cainiang's private life is just a little messy.
However, Ji Zizhen was a little confused, "Master, are you going back to Tonglin County?"
"Yes!"
Ji Zizhen continued to look confused, "But it must be hundreds of miles away from Tonglin County, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then how did you..."
"I have a wife!"
Ji Zizhen:???
What does your return to Tonglin County have to do with you having a wife?
"My wife has magical power and can travel a thousand miles a day." Lu Zheng said seriously.
Ji Zizhen:???
Shen Ying concealed a smile, nodded gently to Ji Zizhen, then raised her sleeves and waved lightly, bringing up a gust of breeze, and she and Lu Zheng flew out of Wuxiuzhuang lightly and drifted away.
Before leaving, Lu Zheng winked at Hu Cainiang, and Hu Cainiang glared back at him angrily and funny.
Lu Zheng dug a hole for Hu Cainiang.
Revealing her magic skills will arouse Noriko's suspicion and vigilance, and will add some variables to Hu Cainiang's real plan to overthrow Noriko at night.
