Chapter 280

Yangzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is not said that the four seasons are like spring, the climate in this winter is not too cold, and there is seldom heavy snow like today.

As the New Year's Eve approached, snow fell like goose feathers, and the gardens of the ancient mansion were covered in white flowers and willows in one night.

On the deep path, Luo Lan stepped forward, stepping on the snow on the ground, making a "creaking" sound.

In a wooden house in the distance, two gardeners wrapped in thick padded jackets squeezed in the middle, looking out through the door.

"In such a cold day, the Second Young Master actually came to the garden!" A man with a dark complexion rubbed his hands with surprise on his face.

Yangzhou rarely has such cold weather, even adults can't stand it.

"Perhaps our second young master likes to visit the garden!" The other man covered his ears with his hands, but his tone was a bit teasing.

"I like your sister!" Luo Lan rolled his eyes in secret, and immediately touched his hungry belly, "If it wasn't so hungry that I couldn't bear it, the devil would be willing to come out in such a cold day."

Although the two spoke in a low voice, Luo Lan had meditated for many years, and his mental strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and his eyes and ears were sharp.Not to mention clairvoyant eyes and wind ears, at least any disturbance within a hundred meters cannot be hidden from him.

As if he was tired from walking, Luo Lan stretched out his immature palm to support a pine tree with a thick bowl mouth on the opposite side, stopped to rest his feet, and at the same time gave an order to the system: "Absorb [-]% of the tree's nutrients."

"Drip! After receiving the order, the absorption begins..."

As the absorption began, a hot current poured into Luo Lan's body immediately, and the original hunger was instantly eliminated by half.

Although he was still a little hungry, Luo Lan let go of the pine tree he was holding on to.

The nutrients in these trees are limited, and if you extract one percent by yourself, it will not have a big impact on their growth, but if you extract them endlessly, it will definitely affect the growth of these trees. trouble.

As the saying goes, there is no big mistake in being cautious, Luo Lan continued to sway forward, and by the way, extracted some nutrients from other trees.

Half an hour passed, and Luo Lan extracted four trees in total. At this moment, he felt warm inside his body, and even felt a little full, so he stopped.

"belch!"

Luo Lan burped comfortably, then turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.

When he was full, he naturally wouldn't just hang around in the garden.

Inside the courtyard.

Although Aunt Chunxia has been taking care of it, no one has cared about it for six years, and the building is still much dilapidated.

Some windows are broken, and some pillars are painted with peeling paint. The elegant and chic courtyard at the beginning is now like a peacock that has shed its feathers, losing its original brilliance.

As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Luo Lan twitched his nose.

There was an aroma of meat in the room.

"Could it be hallucinations!" Luo Lan shook his head, he almost forgot when was the last time he ate meat.

"Second young master, the kitchen brought you braised pork just now. By the way, Butler Zhao came just now, and he also said that tomorrow is the New Year Festival of the Gu family, and all members of the family who are six years old or older must participate." Watching Luo Lan come back , Chunxia happily walked out of the house.

"Braised pork, New Year festival." Luo Lan twitched the corners of his lips, feeling a little disdainful in his heart.

"It was only during the New Year Festival that I remembered that I was the second young master of the Gu family. What did I usually do?" Luo Lan walked into the room and looked at a food box on the table.The tempting smell of meat comes from here.

Open the lid, revealing a plate of bright red braised pork inside, with a hint of heat.

"It's hard to think of me. Are you going to send me away with a bowl of braised pork?" Luo Lan stretched out his chopsticks, fiddled with them a few times, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

In ancient times, this kind of pork was also known as cheap meat, and only those with low status would buy it for cheap.The upper-class people usually disdain pork, and they prefer beef and mutton, and beef is the most important of the two.

Gein cattle can help plow the fields and are the foundation of agriculture, so they cannot be slaughtered easily.Rare is more expensive, this beef is naturally highly sought after.

As the second young master of the Gu family, even though he was born to a concubine, he is also the owner of the Gu mansion. Those people in the kitchen deliberately gave him pork to eat, which was obviously a humiliation.

"It seems that I was too low-key in the past, even some servants dared to tease me." A trace of anger flashed in Luo Lan's eyes.

Next to her, Aunt Chunxia glanced at the braised pork in the food box from time to time, swallowing her saliva.

"Aunt Chunxia, ​​you can eat, I don't want to eat." Luo Lan then pushed the food box over. Chunxia has also suffered a lot after following her all these years.

"No!" "No!" "No!"...

Chunxia hastily waved her hands and refused.

"Master, this is specially prepared for you by the kitchen. How can I eat it alone. If you don't want to eat it now, then I will keep it for you as a supper at night."

"No need, if I tell you to eat it, you can eat it. There will be so many things like this in the future, you can eat it all at once." Luo Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

In his previous life, he was also the most powerful god in the Coiling Dragon World, with dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear's paw and scorpion lips, and he had never eaten any good things.For him, he has already passed the age of appetite, whether it is bark or beef, apart from replenishing energy, there is no attraction for him at all.

With Luo Lan's insistence, Chunxia joyfully took the food box away.

Seeing the happy expression on Chunxia's face when she left, Luo Lan felt a little warmth in his heart. At least there are people in this world who really care about themselves.

……

The next day, just after dawn, the butler Zhao Hu walked into the small courtyard where Luo Lan lived with a few servants and maids.

With the help of the maid, Luo Lan was changed into the prepared gown like a puppet, and then taught the etiquette of the New Year Festival, repeated several times, until Luo Lan completely remembered, was dragged by Zhao Hu, and the group was mighty Walking towards the front yard of the ancient mansion.

In the front yard, parked a luxuriously decorated carriage, pulled by one of the three great dragon horses, the Black Nightmare Horse.Black Nightmare Horse, also known as "Black Dragon Horse", is rumored to have the blood of a dragon, can travel five thousand miles a day, and runs like a cloud of black wind.

Every black nightmare horse is comparable to the monster beasts of the acquired peak, unless they are innately strong, even the idle peak acquired will not be able to tame them.In the market, the price of a black nightmare horse exceeds 10 taels of silver, and there is no market for this.

Pulled by the housekeeper Zhao Hu, Luo Lan was frozen in the cold wind for more than half an hour, and then he saw a graceful and luxurious young woman walking over from the inner courtyard with a little boy in a blue dress and gold rim, as if belatedly arriving.

"I've met Madam, I have met Eldest Young Master!" Zhao Hu quickly stepped forward to salute, "Madam, the vehicle is ready, we can set off."

The young woman glanced at Luo Lan, and her eyes shrank suddenly. Luo Lan was tall and strong, and she didn't look like a six-year-old child at all.

"You are Shi Gong, I didn't expect you to grow so tall." The young woman Tie Shi squeezed out a smile, and then pointed to the little boy next to her, "This is your elder brother Shi You, you two are so close."

"I don't want to get close to him as a maidservant." The little boy in blue and gold trim said disdainfully, but secretly looked at Luo Lan with his eyes frequently, feeling puzzled in his heart.

How could this guy who was born later than him be half a head taller than him?

Gu Shiyou acted like he couldn't hide it from Luo Lan, and he sneered in his heart.

For the past three years, Luo Lan has been practicing the Qi Accumulation Form uninterruptedly, and all the internal energy he cultivated is used to temper his body. His physique has surpassed that of his peers by a lot, and his stature has naturally grown faster.

"Shiyou, don't be rude to your brother!" Tie Shi glared at his son, then stretched out his hand to pull Luo Lan again, and walked towards the carriage.

"Today is the first time for the two of you brothers to participate in the New Year's Festival. Later in the meeting, you must fight for your father." This sentence seems to be addressed to the two of them, but Tie's real respect is himself His son Gu Shiyou.

As for Luo Lan, she didn't take it to heart at all.

A child who has grown up in the wild for six years, even if he is physically strong, is of any use.
