Mrs. Rebirth

Chapter 040 Flattering on the Horse's Leg

After Lu Zheng had breakfast, Zuo Yunwen took the whole family to pay his respects. Of course, this did not include Zuo Shuhui, a girl who had not left the court.

Zuo Shuhui wanted to go, but the other party was a strange man, even a lady of every family could not go out to meet a foreign man.

When he arrived at Fuyue Tower, Cao Zongguan was already waiting at the door. When he saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he greeted him in a personable and thoughtful manner.

At this time, he still didn't know that he was about to become the target of the Zuo family's abandonment.

Zuo Yunwen changed his previous enthusiasm, and nodded to him lightly, "Nephew Cao Xian, you are welcome, our two families are family friends, and you and Shao Yan have been classmates for many years, so you can completely regard this as your own home."

Mrs. Xue was happy when she saw Cao Zongguan visiting the Zuo Mansion before, but she didn't expect that after laughing for a long time, Mr. Lu came to the door, and then let her know the words with vague hints, now she can't wait to expel Cao Zongguan go back.

It's already messy enough for a Duke Lu to appear, what else is this man messing around with?

If Lord Lu really intends to marry Zuofu, then Cao Zongguan will no longer be a fragrant bun in her eyes, on the contrary, it will become a stumbling block for her to curry favor with the Duke.

"Don't stand outside and talk, go and greet the Duke of the country first." Xue urged.

Zuo Shaoqing stood behind a group of people with low eyebrows, looked at the absurd scene in front of him, and thought: Maybe... it is a good choice to turn the two families against each other.

In the room, the servants were clearing the dining table, Zuo Shaoqing secretly glanced at it, and sure enough, most of the food had been wiped out, it seemed that Mrs. Xue was very foresight.

"Did Mr. Lu rest well last night?" Zuo Yunwen stood at the bottom cautiously, slightly bent over.

Lu Zheng took the cup and rinsed his mouth, then said calmly: "It would be better if no one disturbs you in the middle of the night."

Zuo Yun's face turned red, obviously knowing that the subtext of this sentence was to tell them not to stuff people into his room in the middle of the night, and forget about stuffing people, but he was sent back without even seeing him, this is simply flattery Slapped on the horse's leg.

And Zuo Shaoqing thought more than that, he frowned and thought: I should not include myself among the people who disturb me in the middle of the night, right?After all, I was invited to the appointment.

Zuo Yunwen glared at Xue Shi secretly, blaming this woman for being troubled, saying that military generals love beauties, and that Mr. Lu is close to the crown, and he doesn't have a maid to serve him, so he must be very lonely at night.

The results of it?He didn't know whether Grandpa Lu was lonely at night, but he was angry.

He smiled contemptuously, avoided the topic and said, "It's the blessing of the old man's family that Mr. Lu can visit the humble house. The old man plans to entertain the local nobles and gentry to clean up the old man."

"I just want to see the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River this time, so I don't need to bother everyone." After speaking, he glanced sharply at Zuo Yunwen.

Zuo Yunwen was a little disappointed, but when he thought that the Duke had only come to Zuo's house without concealing his whereabouts, his face brightened again, "How about letting my son take you out for a walk today? Master Chengguang of Xichan Temple is proficient in Buddha Dharma, it’s easy to get rid of it.”

"I don't believe in Buddhism!"

Zuo Yunwen was tangled up and couldn't figure out where else to go in this small Youxi town after thinking about it for a long time.

Lu Zheng saw that everyone in the room was bowing their heads blankly, and Zuo Shaoqing was playing with his fingers boredly, so he kindly let the family go, "Then let's go to Xichan Temple for a walk."

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's eyes flashed, and he breathed a sigh of relief along with everyone.

Xichan Temple is located in Longhu Mountain, [-] miles away from Youxi Town. It is said that the first abbot of Xichan Temple was a well-known eminent monk throughout the country. Every year on Buddha’s birthday, many believers travel thousands of miles to come here. Come to worship Buddha.

The old lady of the Zuo Mansion is a Buddhist believer, and Zuo Shaoqing is jealous of the sesame oil money raised every year. He often thinks indignantly: Why doesn't his grandmother have such a compassionate heart to help his own grandson first? What about son?

"Shao Qing... Shao Qing..."

"Ah?..." Zuo Shaoqing came back to his senses, blinked, and looked at Cao Zongguan suspiciously.

The brother-in-law who was about to be divorced was looking at him with a gentle face, holding a plate of walnut cakes in his hand, "Do you want some?"

Zuo Shaoqing saw something similar to sympathy in his eyes, and instantly understood that Cao Zongguan must have heard about his situation in the Zuo Mansion these days and felt sorry for him.

Glancing at Zuo Shaoling who was sitting on the right, Zuo Shaoqing smiled slightly, revealing the beautiful pear dimples at the corner of his mouth, and took a piece of walnut cake from the plate and put it into his mouth, "Thank you Brother Cao, you can eat it too, my eldest sister made it The walnut crisp is the best!"

A blush rose on Cao Zongguan's cheeks, but it disappeared quickly, and he just replied with some pride: "Missy's craftsmanship is naturally good."

Zuo Shaoqing could tell from his reaction that this man really liked Zuo Shuhui, and he didn't know if he was disappointed that he didn't marry Zuo Shuhui in his previous life.

He really wanted to knock him down with a hammer to wake him up and tell him that Zuo Shuhui wasn't worth his thinking at all, but soon he would let this elm bump see the true face of that woman.

Just as Zuo Shaoqing was about to speak, Zuo Shaoyan on the other side coughed twice and said calmly: "We're almost there, pack up your things and don't leave them behind."

Zuo Shaoqing lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and it turned out that he was at the foot of Longhu Mountain. Lu Zheng rode a tall horse and passed by the car. His tall and straight body sat majestically on the horseback, as if laughing at them. Soft-legged shrimp on horseback.

He curled his lips at Lu Zheng who was riding a horse outside the car, and thought: How amazing is it to be able to ride a horse?

Feeling something in Lu Zheng's heart, he turned his head and glanced at the carriage, his cold eyes suddenly fell on Zuo Shaoqing, who was so frightened that he immediately put down the curtain of the car, but ignored Lu Zheng's eyes that immediately warmed up the moment he saw him.

Mrs. Xue originally arranged for two carriages, but Lu Zheng frowned fiercely when he saw the carriage for the first time. The attendant in Tsing Yi said frankly: His master never rides in a carriage. How much contempt and how much contempt.

This troubled the whole family of the Zuo family. Usually, when everyone went out, they would go out in soft sedan chairs or carriages. When did they ever ride horses?

But you can't let a group of frail scholars walk twenty miles on two legs.

So there was this scene, two tall and handsome young men rode behind the carriage, if not for the extraordinary temperament of these two, passers-by would have thought they were the guards of the Zuo Mansion.

The carriage stopped steadily, and when getting off, Zuo Shaoyan left three words when he passed by Zuo Shaoqing: Don't talk too much!

Zuo Shaoqing twitched the corner of his mouth, then got out of the car with his head down, and walked behind a group of people in an orderly manner, completely ignoring Zuo Shaoyan's warning.

The way up the mountain is a bit steep, with a total of 880 eight steps, which is not high, but it is enough to daunt the Zuo family's scholars.

Zuo Shaoqing looked at the constipated faces of several scholars gloatingly, while looking up at the towering steps pretending to be in pain.

Lu Zheng was still at the forefront, with his hands behind his back, he was walking like a tiger, and within a few efforts he was far ahead of everyone.

Zuo Shaoqing was a little speechless. Didn't this man see the physique of the group of people behind him?Did he think it was those generals on his battlefield?

Zuo Shaoqing was a little curious, wondering what kind of soldiers Lu Zheng would bring out?I also want to know how he communicates with his subordinates on weekdays. Looking at his cold face, he probably freezes his subordinates to death if he doesn't speak.

Halfway through the climb, except for the master and servant who walked in the front, who was not flushed or out of breath, the rest of the people were so tired that they almost fell down, even the servant brought by Zuofu was not much better.

In order to take care of these young masters, the servants brought out today are all articulate boys, who are used to observing words and demeanor, flattering and flattering, but their physical strength is much weaker.

Zuo Shaoqing was also panting badly, her temples were wet with sweat from her forehead, her complexion was pale, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

"Grandpa Lu, my younger brother is weak, can you take a rest before leaving?" Zuo Shaoyan grabbed Zuo Shaoqing's arm with one hand and shouted to Lu Zheng who had already walked away.

Zuo Shaoqing secretly rolled his eyes, this person really can talk, obviously he can't walk anymore, but he wants to use him as a weapon, if it was Zuo Shaoqing in the previous life, he would definitely be moved by his love, but unfortunately, now, he I just think he's so hypocritical.

If it wasn't for acting like an ordinary scholar, Zuo Shaoqing wouldn't be in such a posture, and would have followed Lu Zheng up the mountain easily, what a group of guys in the way!

Hearing this, Lu Zheng stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked down at the group of scholars. When he saw Zuo Shaoqing's distressed look, he blinked his eyes slightly, and then walked into the pavilion by the side of the road first.

With just one glance, all the fast-breaking scholars below were blushing and lowered their heads in shame.
