Seeing that Zhang Shou was silent, Lu Sanlang thought that people had heard of his reputation, so he hesitated and quickly added a few more words.
"Old Sir, this Cuiyun Room is the only elegant place where people can live within several miles. If Old Sir can agree to my request, all the disciples in the capital who heard that Miss Zhu is staying here will flock to me.
When the time comes, I will definitely stand up and defend the old gentleman! I am not boasting, but my reputation as Lu Sanlang still has some weight in the capital!"
Zhang Shou almost choked to death. I tried so hard to attract a bunch of sheep and wanted to kill them, but you want to stop me?
He chuckled in a hoarse voice, and then said lightly: "Let's not talk about studying for the time being. If you want to learn, I can let Xiao Qi teach you. As for other people who want to come to live, there is no need to stop them, you just need to help
Just ask Xiao Qi to maintain order here and let them obey the rules!"
Lu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Old sir, order matters are easy to handle. If those pig-headed idiots can't answer these questions, I'll charge them ten taels of silver for every day they stay! The old gentleman is very magnanimous. This money is not yours to collect. This is me, Lu Sanlang.
This is a rule that all newcomers have followed. Who among them dares to disobey it without fear of offending Miss Zhu? You can use it to rebuild the Cuiyun Room, or use it to help the villagers."
As he spoke, he smiled and bared his teeth: "Miss Zhu can solve a problem. Are they not afraid of losing face in the ditch? I will tell them quietly that they will pay to stay for a few days and I can tell them later.
Miss Zhu, they solved a few questions, for such a face-saving thing, what does a little money mean?"
If he could learn arithmetic from this reclusive old gentleman, it would be an unexpected gain. But if he could completely muddy or even crush the muddy waters of Miss Zhu's circle of suitors and the court, including his father's calculations, this would be his
the goal of!
He, Lu Sanlang, is really extremely smart. This is called killing two birds with one stone! Moreover, who could have guessed that this is his wisdom?
Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to hold his forehead when he saw the person's eyes turning wildly. The guy in front of him could actually guess what he was thinking!
Couldn't he be plotting against the fat sheep, only to end up letting a fat fox in?
When he followed the trail that only a few people in the village knew, he quietly returned from the bamboo house to Zhang's house in the village, and saw Zhu Ying who was unhappy because he couldn't see the excitement of Lu Sanlang. Zhang Shou, who had just been noncommittal, couldn't help but sigh.
One sentence.
"That Lu Sanlang, you really don't know it until you see him. He's frightened when he sees him. He's really a talent!"
Before Zhu Ying could ask further questions, he told the two girls Zhan Jin and Liu Yin exactly what Lu Sanlang said and did after Liu Yin left. His memory was already very good, and now he was like
Zhu Ying recited the exact words of her father Zhao Guogong's curses, imitating Lu Sanlang's expression and tone of voice so vividly that she was stunned for a while.
"If I hadn't seen Lu Sanlang's true face in person, I would have thought he was just an ordinary playboy!"
He was about to elaborate on Lu Sanlang's last suggestion, when he heard Wu calling him outside the door, and said with a smile: "I'll go see what mother asked me to do first, and I'll be back in a while."
After saying hello, he left the house first and saw Wu standing in the yard, obviously worried.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Wu hurriedly rushed forward, pulled Zhang Shou aside, and asked nervously: "Ah Shou, I heard Old Liu Tou said that the young master of Lu Shangshu from the capital came here with a lot of entourage.
Looking at the fierce momentum, fortunately Liuyin stepped forward and led the person away, but what if he comes back and blocks the door and insists on seeing Yingying? "
"Haha." Zhang Shou didn't expect Wu to be worried that Lu Sanlang would cause trouble, so he couldn't help but laugh, "Mother, do you think Duke Zhao's government sent so many guards here for free? Besides, I know how to deal with Lu Sanlang.
If it really doesn’t work, there’s still the eldest lady in the house who can help.”
Wu immediately said angrily: "You have already accepted Yingying's body money, how can you push all the troubles to her? You are usually kind and sincere in dealing with people, why don't you bother to try to please her? Such a good temper and
This beautiful young lady is hard to find even with a lantern! Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, go in and talk to her!"
Zhang Shou was driven away by his mother without saying a few words and complained that he could not please his fiancée. Zhang Shou was in a state of laughter and laughter.
Others have a daughter-in-law and forget about their mother, but his mother is just like burying her son immediately before her daughter-in-law even enters the house!
When he walked back to the door of the main room, he only heard the master and two servants talking inside, and Zhu Ying's voice was obviously angry.
"Okay, Lu Zhutou turns out to be so cunning. His usual lustful and silly look is actually just pretending to deceive me!"
Seeing his young lady slap the armrest hard and stand up suddenly, her eyebrows stood up in anger. Liuyin couldn't help but said: "Miss, what's wrong with Lu Sanlang? It's none of our business anyway. Everyone in the capital knows that he is an uneducated person."
He is a pig-headed master of martial arts, and only Mr. Shou can see that he is capable. If you ask me, no matter what his ability is, the more important thing is that Mr. Shou has a keen eye and an open mind, and he never judges people by their appearance."
Similar to Liu Yin's reaction, Zhan Jin also nodded and said: "That's right, if it were anyone else, he would never say good things to a notorious person like Lu Sanlang in front of the lady, let alone discover that he has advantages! Shou!
The young master is so kind!"
Hearing this compliment, Zhang Shou simply felt that Lu Sanlang was more unjust than Dou E. As for him, he had deeply realized more than once that appearance is the true meaning of justice - he just said something seemingly fair for Lu Sanlang
, got so much praise!
In the room, the two girls talked about it one after another. As expected, Zhu Ying's anger disappeared. She sat down happily and said with a smile: "That's because Ah Shou is too honest. I remember when I held him hostage, he was still afraid of me.
Will trip over the threshold..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw two girls looking at her, their eyes full of disbelief. Even though she and Zhan Jinliuyin had grown up together and had no scruples, at this time she suddenly revealed the relationship between her and Zhan Jinliuyin.
When they first met Zhang Shou, she couldn't help but feel guilty when she spilled the beans about holding him hostage.
But thinking that the two girls were not outsiders, Zhu Ying immediately tried to explain as if nothing had happened.
"At that time, I wanted to ask Ah Shou alone about the engagement, so I held him hostage. He told me that he had never heard of it, and also said that if I didn't want to, he would help me find the marriage certificate and burn it, so that I could go back with peace of mind.
You two, tell me, are such kind-hearted gentlemen rare? That’s why I stayed to find out for myself what was going on with the engagement!"
Zhan Jin suddenly smiled with his eyebrows creasing: "No wonder! When I heard that the young lady was staying, I was shocked. I even scolded Mr. Shou behind his back, "Amitabha, as soon as I saw Mr. Shou, I knew I was wrong.
