If You Can't Be A Son-In-Law, You Have To Become A Saint

Chapter 11 Pastry and Martial arts

Sheng Zi was obviously much happier when she got Lu Jing's four-line article.

There is still a slight smile on the corner of the mouth.

Her appearance is indeed extraordinary, her eyebrows are like the moon, her red lips are smiling, and she is wearing a fiery red dress embroidered with silk patterns like clouds and clouds. The black silk thread outlines the enchanting clouds around her waist, showing her slender waist. willow.

Sheng Zi was sitting on the wooden chair in the room, and Qing Yue, who was standing by the side pouring tea, would glance at Sheng Zi from time to time, thinking wildly, "The noble lady in front of me is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a natural and generous demeanor. It would be great if the young master could marry such a daughter."

Qingyue is busy worrying about Lu Jing's life events in her heart.

Lu Yi was still in a daze.

Just now she was angry and her tone was extremely rude, but the girl obviously didn't realize this, she was just thinking about her performance just now, she shouldn't be frightened by Lu Jing's eyes.

"It's just that the eyes of Lu Jing just now are the same as the eyes in my memory when my father disciplined my elder brothers a long time ago..."

Lu Yi still had lingering fears, and felt more and more that Lu Jing in front of her was not a good person.

"Master Jing, I came here today to ask you something."

Sheng Zi took a sip of the slightly damp tea, and said, "I don't know which book Mr. Jing's opinion about "Zhongzheng" came from yesterday?"

"I went back to the mansion yesterday and inadvertently told this opinion to the guest in the mansion. The guest was very interested and asked me to come here and ask Mr. Jing."

While Sheng Zi was speaking, she put the small box she was carrying on the table.

The small box is probably made of precious wood like sandalwood, with many patterns carefully carved on it, one can tell at a glance that the things contained inside are very precious.

"This is the peach blossom cake produced by Suxiangzhai. Many nobles in Taixuanjing like this one very much. It is my first time to visit, and these cakes can be regarded as my heart."

Sheng Zi introduced softly, and then slowly opened the sandalwood box.

For a moment, the room, which originally had a slight smell of rotten wood, suddenly filled with a strong fragrance of peach blossoms.

But I saw eight snacks the size of walnuts neatly placed in the sandalwood box.

These snacks are carefully carved like peach blossoms, rosy in the white, quite delicate.

Lu Jing glanced curiously.

Qingyue on the side, her eyes fell on the dessert, she couldn't help covering her mouth in surprise.

She once heard other girls in the mansion say that Suxiangzhai's peach blossom cakes are very popular, even if ordinary officials and officials are rich, they can't eat a piece of cake all year round.

Unexpectedly, when this lady from the Sheng Mansion came to the door, she brought a whole box of eight peach blossom cakes in one go, which was enough to show her sincerity.

Lu Jing didn't seem interested in the fragrant dim sum.

It was just a quick glance, and then looked away.

Lu Yi on the side also said, "Even Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhu don't have a box of peach blossom cakes every month. Lu Jing, thank you, sister Sheng."

Sheng Zi waved his hands and said: "There is a saying in Taixuan Jing, the peach blossom cakes are not as good as the fast food in the world. The taste of this peach blossom cakes is indeed not ordinary, Mr. Jing can taste a piece."

Lu Jing thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand, and carefully took out a piece of peach blossom cake from the sandalwood box.

Both Sheng Zi and Lu Yi looked at Lu Jing, probably wanting to see Lu Jing's expression when he tasted the peach blossom cake.

But what they didn't expect was that Lu Jing put the peach blossom cake in his palm and handed it to Qing Yue who was standing behind him.

"Qingyue, try it."

Qingyue was taken aback for a moment, and seeing Lu Jing's soft and persuasive eyes, she never refused.

Also carefully took the peach blossom crisp.

Her pink lips parted slightly, and she took a bite.

Qingyue chewed in small mouthfuls, while Lu Jing watched Qingyue eat with a smile.

The scene suddenly fell silent. Sheng Zi and Lu Yi were all watching this scene, and suddenly felt a little touched in their hearts.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qingyue finally ate all the peach blossom crisps.

With reminiscence in her eyes, she whispered to Lu Jing: "Master, this snack is really delicious."

Lu Jing nodded and said, "It's good if it's delicious."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to close the sandalwood box, and gently pushed it in the direction of Sheng Zi.

"Miss Sheng, Lu Jing doesn't get paid for nothing.

This peach blossom cake is too expensive, and I don't have the kind of classics you mentioned, so it's not good to accept the peach blossom cake. "

Sheng Zi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lu Yi on the side frowned and said, "Then you just let your girl..."

Before Lu Yi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that just now Sheng Zi asked Lu Jing for the four-line essay, so she owed Lu Jing a favor.

Sheng Zi also said just now that there must be a gift in return.

This is probably why Lu Jing received a piece of Peach Blossom Crisp now.

"However, this Lu Jing has a kind heart. He is usually in poverty, and I heard that they still can't eat meat for every meal.

Now that there are such good things as peach blossom cakes, but first let the girl who has been with him for many years taste them first. "

Lu Yi's thoughts were racing, and the two long braids with silk ornaments on the back of her head were tossed and flicked, which looked very cute.

Sheng Zi admired her a lot, and thought to herself: "This Lu Jing can be regarded as a young gentleman, he has his own words and deeds."

After thinking about it, Sheng Zi didn't bother with the peach blossom cake anymore, and asked: "Since there are no classics, I don't know where Mr. Jing got his opinion on Zhongzheng?"

Of course, Lu Jing's views on "Zhongzheng" do not all come from himself.

Although the classic "Zhong Zheng" is very similar to his previous life's Zhong Zheng, both in conception and content.

Even Lu Jing's major in her previous life was "Research on Confucian Classics".

But even so, Lu Jing's own views on "Zhongzheng" are not enough to make Zhong Yubo, the official guest of the Shengfu, as a heavenly man.

Lu Jing said: "My opinion on "Zhongzheng" comes from many sages, and also from a few words in many different classics."

He was telling the truth.

On that day, Lu Jing's ideas of "holding dual-purposes" and "harmony between man and nature" actually originated from Kong Ji in the previous Warring States period.

In that narration, there are also a lot of Lu Jing's own understandings.

When Sheng Zi heard Lu Jing's answer, she couldn't help showing disappointment on her face, and said in her heart: "It seems that Master Zhong's equestrianism..."

She stood up: "Since that's the case, Sheng Zi won't bother me too much. This box of peach blossom cakes is a gift from me, so there's no reason to take it home."

While Sheng Zi was speaking, she was also watching Lu Jing's expression.

Seeing that Lu Jing wanted to refuse, he added: "And I really like Mr. Jing's four-line calligraphy.

A piece of peach blossom cake is not enough to express my gratitude, so I ask Mr. Jing to accept it. "

At this point, Lu Jing continued to refuse, because she was not familiar with the world, and would embarrass Sheng Zi instead.

"Miss Shengfu is very decent, and she treats people and things quite extraordinary."

The two appreciate each other, and Lu Jing no longer refuses.

At this moment, Lu Jing suddenly saw the blue long whip that Sheng Zi was carrying.

From the long blue whip, Lu Jing noticed that Sheng Zi looked extremely upright both in walking and in posture.

Every move is clean and neat, with an extraordinary posture.

The face is also full of energy, just like... practicing martial arts for a long time!

A thought suddenly popped up in Lu Jing's mind.

"Miss Shengfu." He called Sheng Zi to stop.

Sheng Zi, who had already turned around to leave, turned her head and looked at Lu Jing suspiciously.

Lu Jing said sternly: "If Miss is interested, I still have a lot of insights about "Zhongzheng", which I can write silently.

Miss Sheng's Mansion can bring it back to Sheng's Mansion and show it to that guest Qing. "

A look of surprise flashed across Sheng Zi's face.

Zhong Yubai was greatly surprised by Lu Jing's previous insights on Zhongzheng.

If she still has this kind of understanding, she will take it back to Da Keqing, and it will probably not be difficult to get those kinds of equestrian skills.

Thinking of this, Sheng Zi immediately agreed, thought for a while and said: "I still have a few boxes of peach blossom cakes in my house, as well as many candied ginkgo biloba and gold shredded ruyi rolls, all of which are very delicious cakes, wait for me to come again next time , and brought them all back to thank you, Young Master.”

Lu Jing shook her head: "Thank you, Miss Shengfu, for your kindness."

"Although those pastries are delicious, they are not what I want now."

"I am weak and humble, and eating some expensive cakes is of no benefit to me."

Lu Jing looked calm, and said slowly: "I am sixteen years old, and I still don't know the nine realms of martial arts in the world.

Please let Miss Sheng Fu clear my mind. "

There is another chapter tonight.
