Chapter 59 Preparation

Lu Zhendong sat behind the bookcase, wearing a navy blue collared robe, without binding his hair, and only using a ribbon to half-drape and half-tie the black hair behind his head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info's face was calm, his eyes were focused, and a "wolf hair" was manipulated by his knobred fingers, like a dragon, wandering around on rice paper. Shredded sunlight shone in through the window, gilding the angular side face.

Su Bo walked into the house in the cold wind, took off his cloak, rubbed his hands, and walked to the back room. After saluting, seeing that Lu Zhendong was the only one in the room, he asked funny: "Ah Sheng went to play with the brazier again?"

"Hmm. Lu Zhendong simply agreed, did not raise his head, and did not stop the movements of his hands.

"Young master, you're too used to him. Su Bo said disapprovingly, reached out and tried the teacup on the bookcase, lifted the kettle on the stove, and made a new cup of tea, "This Ah Sheng has never been a good errand since he returned to the capital, and he knows how to go out and play with braziers all day long." Young master, you don't care about him. ”

Lu Zhendong finished the last stroke, and while carefully looking at it, he replied: "Let him go, anyway, I won't have to play." After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and circled a few places on the drawing.

"Young Master is planning to do it?" asked Su Bo excitedly, his eyes lit up with excitement. He rubbed his hands vigorously, looking eager to try.

Lu Zhendong lifted his eyelids, glanced at him indifferently, his gaze returned to the painting, and said in a calm tone: "I've been preparing for so long, it's time to do it." Besides, didn't the third old man's family already arrive at the house today? While everyone was there, it would be better to have a comfortable year if everything was resolved. ”

"Ah Sheng, you stop!" A coquettish voice suddenly came from outside, "Call you! Do you hear, stop me!"

Su Bo glared and said in surprise: "It's Cui Ying's voice next to the second lady." This is too bold, isn't it?!I actually ran to your yard, young master. Looking at the disgust in Lu Zhendong's eyes, he actually laughed gloatingly.

Lu Zhendong's eyes swept over, Su Bo immediately put away his smile, straightened his body, his eyes swayed from side to side, but the corners of his mouth shook uncontrollably, obviously trying his best to control his smile.

Lu Zhendong put down the brush, picked up the teacup and tasted the tea seriously, but his ears paid attention to the movement outside.

"You are so bold that you dare to run? Cui Ying scolded loudly, obviously not afraid of being heard by the people in the house.

"Why ・・・・・・ why? My young master is also the master here, why don't you send charcoal to our young master's yard? What should my young master do if it freezes in this winter?" Ah Sheng argued with his neck stiff.

Cui Ying glanced at the closed door with disdain, and chirped: "Bah! What kind of master, it's just a wreck! Of course, she only dared to think about these words in her heart. said insincerely: "Then I can only say 'sorry', our wife doesn't know that Young Master Dong is coming to the capital for the New Year, and we don't have any extra charcoal, and we can't do anything." Besides, if you still take this white charcoal, it will be even worse. ”

"Why can't it?!, let's go to the second master to judge. "Ah Sheng protects the brazier but doesn't give it.

Cui Ying looked left and right with a weak heart, and felt that she would be laughed at if she returned like this. With a smile, he stretched out his hand to pick up the brazier in Ah Sheng's hand, and coaxed him softly: "Ah Sheng, you see that the third master's family has entered the mansion today, and there are still a lot of things over there! Don't make trouble, hurry up and give me the brazier." As for the matter of charcoal, don't worry, I will report it to the second lady as soon as I go back, and the second lady will have someone send the charcoal over soon. You go back and wait!"

"Hey, Sister Cuiying!" Ah Sheng just shouted. Cui Ying was like a fire and a fart, holding a brazier, and ran out quickly, shouting: "You go back quickly, I will go to report to the second lady." ”

"Oh!" Ah Sheng scratched his head, turned and went back to the house.

Ah Sheng entered the room and scratched his head uncomfortably at the eyes of Shang Lu Zhendong and Su Bo. Lu Zhendong asked funny, "What did you want to say to Cui Ying just now?"

"I just want to tell her that she's the finest white charcoal. Ah Sheng said timidly, "And there is only that pot left." ”

"There's only one pot left?" Su Bo shouted in surprise, and then laughed happily again, "Oh, Ah Sheng, you are really ・・・・・・ really ・・・・・・ you let me tell you what is good? You, if the second lady knows about this, she will definitely be mad." ”

"That's right. Su Bo asked, "How much charcoal have you ruined the second lady in the past few days?"

Ah Sheng raised his head and saw that the young master of his family was also curious, scratched his head and said, "Listen to them, the second lady bought a total of 1,500 catties of firewood and charcoal, 500 catties of medium white charcoal, and 180 catties of high-grade white charcoal. Now there is no more high-grade white charcoal, and there are 200 catties left in the medium one, and 1,200 catties in black charcoal left. ”

"With such a large family, the second lady only prepared such a small amount of charcoal. No wonder those maids used various excuses to snatch the brazier in Ah Sheng's hand, and they were also uncomfortably cold. Su Bo shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"People are greedy, and even if they have enough charcoal in their house, they will come out and grab it. Lu Zhendong said calmly, spread the painting on the table to dry, and put the pen in the blue and white porcelain "more than every year" pen wash.

Su Bo stepped forward to help wash the pen, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it all because young master you have been nesting in the house since you came back, and conniving at the maids in the house to pick on you for this soft persimmon?"

"Obviously, the second lady is not strict in governing the family. Ah Sheng replied dissatisfiedly.

Lu Zhendong raised his eyebrows at Su Bo in a good mood: Look, Ah Sheng understands better than you. patted Ah Sheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since Ah Sheng is so sensible, your young master can't continue to let you suffer from these." Let's see what the second old lady is up to, and we'll visit in a moment. ”

"Hmm. Ah Sheng nodded vigorously and walked out happily.

Su Bo hung the pen on the pen stand, glanced at the paintings on the table, and couldn't help asking, "Is the young master planning to divide the East and West Mansions?"

"Hmm. Lu Zhendong's gaze returned to the painting, his eyes were a little sour, "When my father bought this mansion, he had already reserved the yard of the second grandfather and their family. After the accident, under our secret planning, these courtyards in the east were saved. In this case, let's build a wall here and cut the entire Lu Mansion apart. Since then, they have lived separately, and they have never interacted with each other. He said as he gestured to the painting.
