Lu Zheng originally thought he could sleep while he was ugly, but he didn't expect Shen Ying to be too excited after eating the fruit, and Liu Qingyan was also in great interest. The three of them actually kept chatting until the beginning of the month, and they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Xiao Cui heard the chat here, so she didn't dare to come over and ask them to have breakfast, but the other person from outside the manor didn't know what was going on.
"Fairy, I'm here! Is Mr. Lu back?" But it was Hou Ping who arrived.
"Shut up, you stinky monkey, you have no eyesight!" Xiao Cui hurried out of the house and shouted in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Hou Ping looked confused.
The day before yesterday, he took Zhao Wenrong and another woman back to Peach Blossom Village. He originally wanted to return to Peach Blossom Temple to join the battle, but Xiao Cui held him back and told him not to cause trouble.
Later, the four of them worked together to kill the tiger demon. Lu Zheng and the others rushed to Yizhou overnight. Only Shen Ying returned to Taohua Village, told Hou Ping about the situation, and then asked him to escort Zhao Wenrong and the others back to Tonglin County.
After a day yesterday, Hou Ping estimated that Lu Zheng should be back, so he couldn't help but didn't go to Peach Blossom Temple early this morning. Instead, he went directly to Peach Blossom Village and called the door loudly.
Seeing Hou Ping's confused look, Xiaocui didn't know what to say. After all, it wasn't good to just say it directly. There was no one to chat with all night, right?
So Xiaocui only said, "Young Master came back late yesterday and is still resting now."
"Oh oh oh!" Hou Ping nodded repeatedly, "Young master, let's take a rest first. I'll come back at noon."
"No need, I'm up." Lu Zheng's voice sounded in their ears.
Then Shen Ying's voice came out faintly, "Xiao Cui, prepare for breakfast."
Hearing the impulsive tone of Shen Ying's tone, Xiao Cui lowered her eyebrows and said "Oh" in a submissive manner, and then disappeared in a flash.
…
Not to mention that Shen Ying lightly asked Hou Ping to copy the New Year's greetings for Peach Blossom Temple a hundred times. After several people had breakfast, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan returned to Tonglin County.
In the middle of the morning, they returned to Tongyi Lane. As soon as they turned into the alley, they saw Zhao Wenrong and the woman from the day before yesterday waiting at the gate of Lu House.
"Lu...Brother Lu, Doctor Liu!" Zhao Wenrong stepped forward and bowed.
"Master Lu, Doctor Liu." The woman also saluted, "My little girl Lin Yushu, I have met these two."
"Why are you here? You were a little frightened in Taohuaping the day before yesterday. Why don't you take more rest at home?" Lu Zheng asked.
Seeing Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan together, Zhao Wenrong was a little hesitant just now, wondering if he could talk about what happened the day before, but when Lu Zheng took the initiative to mention it, it was no problem.
"We came here specially, and we still want to thank Brother Lu again." Zhao Wenrong said.
"Thank you Mr. Lu for saving your life." Lin Yushu answered.
"You're welcome. The reason for this is that Hou Ping killed a tiger, and you also suffered a fire at the city gate that affected the pond fish." Lu Zheng waved his hand, and with a burst of anger, he helped the two of them up, and then asked a little curiously
, "By the way, why are you still in Taohuaping so late?"
Speaking of which, the Taohua Temple is located in Taohuaping in the suburbs, not very close to the county seat and surrounding villages. Walking at night is not popular in this era, so most people went home early.
As a result, Zhao Wenrong and Lin Yushu stayed until the beginning of Youshi when there was almost no one around, and then they happened to catch up with the tiger demon's invasion, and were almost killed along with Hou Ping.
Lin Yushu's face turned red, but Zhao Wenrong chuckled and said, "Isn't this because there are not many people, so the Peach Blossom Fairy can hear us, so we can offer incense alone to pray for good luck."
Lu Zheng was speechless and patted Zhao Wenrong on the shoulder, "Peach Blossom Fairy will definitely hear your blessings."
Zhao Wenrong sneered, then licked his lips and asked, "Brother Lu, are you free at noon? I'm at Mingyue Tower..."
Lu Zheng glanced at Zhao Wenrong, looked at his cautious look, and thought for a moment, "Just you and Miss Lin?"
Zhao Wenrong nodded repeatedly, "It's just us!"
"Okay, let's go there at noon." Lu Zheng nodded and looked at Liu Qingyan, "Call Qingquan and we'll have a big dinner at noon."
Mingyue Tower can be said to be the top restaurant in Tonglin County.
"I'm afraid what Qingquan wants to eat the most is the food you cooked for her." Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and chuckled, then she couldn't help but lick her lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
It is said that ever since Lu Zheng used the light of luck to improve his cooking skills and once showed off his cooking skills, Liu Qingquan regarded eating Lu Zheng's cooking as her ultimate expectation in life.
When Lu Zheng promised Liu Qingquan that if she did well in her homework, he would cook delicious food to reward her, she even took her study seriously, which made Mrs. Liu a little jealous.
Of course, she is jealous, and she is not slow in using chopsticks when eating, but even so, she is not as fast as Sister Liu Qingyan.
In short, Liu Qingyan and Liu Qingquan will compete for the last chopstick of each dish to determine the winner.
Seeing Liu Qingyan's look, Lu Zheng knew that she was greedy again, so he smiled and said, "Let's eat at Mingyuelou for lunch. I'll go to Liu's house to cook in the afternoon."
"Okay!" Liu Qingyan's bright eyes lit up and she nodded lightly.
Zhao Wenrong and Lin Yushu looked at Lu Zheng with curiosity in their eyes. They didn't expect that this man could conquer demons and even cook for others.
Zhao Wenrong glanced at Liu Qingyan cautiously, with many guesses in his mind, and his expression could not help but become more respectful.
…
Zhao Wenrong was just an ordinary person who accidentally got involved in a fight with Lin Yushu, so Lu Zheng did not tell him the identities of Zhu Yushan and others, and Zhao Wenrong was too sensible to ask.
The few of them just had a normal meal in the private room on the third floor of Mingyue Building. Zhao Wenrong and Lin Yushu solemnly thanked Lu Zheng.
As for Liu Qingquan, she heard that Lu Zheng was cooking in the afternoon, which made her happy. She had a full meal at noon to appetize the afternoon.
After seeing off Zhao Wenrong and the other three, Liu Qingquan started chatting all the way home.
"Brother-in-law! How big is that tiger?"
"It's huge! It's two feet long and I can swallow you in one bite!"
"Oh, oh, oh, Qingquan is so scared! Brother-in-law, such a big tiger, can Qingquan get a tiger skin scarf for the winter?"
"Don't worry, don't talk about the tiger skin scarf. I will make you a tiger skin cloak."
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother-in-law! By the way, brother-in-law, yesterday I heard my father talk about making wine with a tiger whip. Do you think my father is an old fool? Where did the tiger's whip come from? Is it a tail?"
"Ahem!"
Liu Qingyan grabbed Liu Qingquan's little ears and said, "I asked you to learn medicine but you didn't learn it. You don't know such common sense. If you want to know what tiger whip is, start reading medical books from scratch tomorrow."
"No, no! Sister, I was wrong, I don't want to know what tiger whip is!"
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin on the side, thinking that Mr. Liu had already set his sights on this tiger whip. Could it be that he was already beyond his capabilities?
But it seems that I also need it, the tiger whip of a tiger demon who has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years, I need to replenish it...
"Chi!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but take a sip of saliva. Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a pain in his ribs.
Turning around, he saw Liu Qingyan's somewhat embarrassed expression.
only……
His cheeks were bright red, his lips were slightly pursed, and his eyes were shy but there was a hint of expectation. Lu Zheng could even smell a faint fragrance.
