It's been a cool autumn, so hungry that I could eat a cow...
These were the ten words that Lu Sanlang came out after a long while while standing in front of the window of the bamboo house.
Corresponding to these ten words was his depressed posture with his head drooped.
If he were in Lufu, the capital city, at this time of year, it would be a little cold against the sky, but in the cool and elegant bamboo forest that he admired during the day, it was really freezing cold last night!
There were only a few plates of green vegetables for dinner, and he had to stuff himself with two large bowls of rice for the first time. At first, he was surprised that the quilt was so thick that it could crush a person, and the mattress was enough for someone to sink into, but he still woke up hungry in the middle of the night. I woke up from the cold.
As for the few followers who were laying on the floor outside the bamboo house...he could even hear the sound of their teeth chattering and fighting last night!
At this time, Lu Sanlang regretted so much that he wanted to hit the wall. If he were not afraid of annoying Zhu Ying, he would have brought two girls to serve him. At that time, at least there would be someone to warm his bed, and he would not be like these servants. It has no use other than staring.
It was so cold last night that his teeth chattered in bed, and his stomach growled with hunger. He couldn't bear this pain alone!
Those guys who were gloating in the capital waiting for him to be kicked back by Zhu Ying and then come to please the beauty, he had to let them taste what it was like to be a celebrity living in a bamboo house! By the way, let them be dealt with by those problems. one time!
Therefore, when he saw Qi Liang coming from outside through the window, he quickly greeted him with a big smile.
"Brother Qi, is the old gentleman free at the moment? I sent someone back to Beijing yesterday, and I have to discuss some things with the old gentleman now."
"Young Master Lu got up so early, he is so energetic." Qi Liang nodded to him with a smile as well, "Sir, he said that life in this mountain residence is not easy, and we only had simple meals yesterday. I thought you wouldn't be used to it."
Lu Sanlang, who was praised as energetic, could only laugh. After all, Zhu Ying was here, and he didn't want his big plan to deceive people to be lost. Yesterday, he was even honest enough not to let his entourage go out to sneak out and get some delicious food. Now, His mouth was tasteless, he was shivering, and he was cold and hungry. He just managed a smile, and then he heard something that made him extremely happy.
"Just in time, sir, please come over. I got up early and made sashimi porridge, as well as some roasted game..."
At this moment, Lu Sanlang only thought about finally being able to have a tooth ceremony, and he happily agreed. How could he think that an old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests would wake up so early and cook such a meal that was obviously meant for lunch or dinner, and still be so full of oil and water?
However, when he followed Qi Liang to the Qingfeng Xulai Hall in the center, he saw the thick cotton curtain raised high, and then he saw the person inside who was smiling but not smiling, standing next to the main seat, and he immediately felt a big headache. .
That beautiful lady wearing a scarlet shirt with rich peonies embroidered on the edges, a scarlet skirt with gold trims with flying butterflies, jewels and beauty, who else could it be but Miss Zhu?
"Hey, Lu Sanlang, you're here!"
It was the first time for Lu Sanlang to experience Zhu Ying greeting him so warmly and without ridicule. Not only did he not feel happy, but he felt a little numb.
To be honest, Zhu Ying was indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital, and perhaps one of the few beauties in the whole world, but he really couldn't bear her temperament. Besides, where would he go after marrying his own mother? Otherwise, he would be the youngest in the family. , if you can't study well, in the eyes of others you can only rely on your kindness to live a good life, there is nothing wrong with marrying such a rich lady who comes from a noble family and is well-fed in the palace.
He came here just to make a gesture, attract others, then retire and quietly take care of his own property, but Zhu Ying suddenly saw him and talked to him with a smile.
What means?
While being frightened, Lu Sanlang couldn't help but cautiously raised his hand: "I didn't expect the eldest lady to be here, so I took the liberty to see the old gentleman..."
"What's the presumption that you can't come while I'm here?" Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Sanlang with interest, "I heard from your husband that you solved two problems yesterday and you plan to give them to me.
Shu Xiu studied arithmetic with Mr. Shu Xiu? Not bad, not bad. I really didn’t expect you to have such a talent..."
Just as Lu Sanlang was about to deflect the compliment that made his hair stand on end, Zhu Ying suddenly changed her tone, slapped the armrest heavily and said, "However, what I didn't expect was that you actually instigated Mr.
You use people who give difficult questions to extort money, and the extortionists are the same guys who used to hang out with you!"
Just when Zhu Ying patted the armrest, Lu Sanlang felt the hairs on his back explode. When he heard this clearly, he racked his brains and wanted to speak out to defend, but then he only heard that the person in charge was still wearing a hat and veil.
The old gentleman chuckled.
Immediately, an old voice said lightly: "Yingying, please stop scaring him."
Although she knew that Zhang Shou was calling herself Yingying just to act more realistically, Zhu Ying still felt happy, and the beauty in her eyebrows was even more breathtaking.
Seeing Lu Sanlang glance at her and then hurriedly lower his head, she smiled and said: "Lu Sanlang, if sir hadn't reminded me after seeing you yesterday, I wouldn't have thought that you were actually pretending.
Be obsessed with me and fool outsiders!"
When she said this, seeing that Lu Sanlang was finally completely shocked, Zhu Ying couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou again, and couldn't help but marvel that Zhang Shou's bold judgment was actually correct!
If Lu Sanlang hadn't been hit by what he said, how could he be as devastated as if his parents were dead?
Lu Sanlang finally calmed down, raised his head and glanced at the old gentleman sitting firmly on the throne, and immediately gave up the idea of refusing to admit it or hiding it, and bowed to Zhu Ying with a wry smile.
"Miss Zhu, you are the most beautiful woman in the world, and everyone admires you. If you have more than me, it won't be too much, and if you don't have me, it won't be too much. Please give me a break. At home, my father doesn't care about my brother and dislikes me. I only feel sorry for my mother. I have to
Act like I'm pursuing you."
The more Lu Sanlang talked, the more pitiful he became: "Didn't I just eat a little more since I was a child and get this fat body? I don't want to be so fat! But who told me to get hungry when I eat less? When I'm hungry, I get flustered and sweaty.
Soft? As for the Four Books and Five Classics, I feel dizzy as soon as I read it. If my father hadn’t thought that keeping my son would have the potential to marry into the Duke of Zhao’s palace, he would probably want to beat me to death!”
Having said this, he turned directly to Zhang Shou, with an expression as sincere as possible on his fat face.
"The old gentleman has a keen eye, and he saw through my little trick at once. But what I said yesterday, I really meant it. Just looking at the questions you asked, I know that you are profound and knowledgeable."
"In this case, why don't you accept a few more disciples so that your knowledge can be passed on to more people? To be blunt, the civil servants in the court, including my father, cannot tolerate any famous people!"
"If you want to be famous, even if Miss Zhu respects you and helps you speak in front of the emperor, it won't be enough. You don't want to be scolded by others. And if you can accept a group of noble disciples as students,
Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a name for himself, the old gentleman can realize his ambitions in a blink of an eye."
"As for money, I know you definitely don't care about it as something external. I said before that I would charge them money every day. I just wanted those guys to learn a lesson..."
Zhang Shou interrupted angrily: "How do you know that I just want to be famous in the world and become a general?"
Seeing that Lu Sanlang was stunned at first and then disappointed, Zhang Shou said slowly: "If someone like you comes over next, and Qi Liang can't handle it alone, you can help to receive him. In addition to Qingfeng Xu coming to the hall,
You just have to decide how to live in other bamboo houses."
You come forward and I collect the money, that's just right!
Seeing Lu Sanlang immediately overjoyed, Zhu Ying couldn't help but blink her eyes.
It seems that the idea of becoming famous that Lu Sanlang just proposed should be... quite feasible?
