Lu Yun was a little surprised when he saw the reply. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation was a bit unexpected!

He frowned and thought for a moment, but he didn't come up with a reason.

Lu Yun couldn't help but stand up, paced to the window, opened a window, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

It's September, and the laurel trees outside the window are in full bloom, full of golden and tiny flowers, dotted among the green branches and leaves. Qingfen strikes people, and there is a sweet fragrance.

He stared at the osmanthus in the shadow of the tree, and faintly had some clues.

Luo Yuan and Deng Yi's letters were both grateful and polite, but Lu Yun could understand it.

Even if there is a difference in political views, it is impossible to completely tear the face.

Du Huaiyuan's attitude is a little thought-provoking!

In Lu Yun's previous correspondence with him, he has never seen him call himself a brother and brother so sincerely, this intimacy is really a little weird!

Could it be that the situation in the court has changed somewhat?

Lu Yun has always known very well, although he didn't do anything, the fact that he was born in the Jingguo Mansion has already branded him with the natural brand of princeling.

It's just that although Yue Ge Lao is pedantic, he is a slippery person, and he has always pretended to be deaf and dumb about the matter of seizing the heir, so although Lu Yun guessed that Yue Ge always submitted to the prince's lineage, he was very unsure.

That's it, it's useless to think about this now! Things in the court are changing rapidly, but it is not something that he can easily grasp from a small Wupin Zhizhou, so let's think about the things in front of me first.

When Lu Yun thought of this, he didn't think about it anymore, after all, now that Du Huaiyuan didn't stop him, it would be more convenient for him to control locusts!

Lu Yun turned around and walked to the desk and sat down, and began to arrange the next things.

Just after noon, Steward Zhou reported outside the door that Master Wei had followed Lu Shuo back to the carriage.

As soon as Lu Yun heard this, he hurried to Yimen to greet people.

This is what Lu Yun discussed with Lu Shuo yesterday, and the respected person that the two of them are going to invite is the old lady Tang who lives in seclusion in Yuluo Mountain.

As for the person who was introduced from this, it was naturally Wei Fuzi, who was more familiar with Mrs. Tang.

When Lu Yun arrived at Yimen, Wei Fuzi and Lu Shuo had just gotten out of the carriage.

I saw that Wei Fuzi was wearing a square scarf, wearing a duck blue and white embroidered dark pattern group flower collar deep coat, covered with black gold dark flowers and Shu brocade cranes, looking solemn and self-controlled, which was very different from the casual wear in the past.

It can be seen that Wei Fuzi also attaches great importance to asking Mrs. Tang to go out of the mountain to help this time!

When Lu Yun saw Master Wei, he took a few steps forward, respectfully bowed to him, and said apologetically: "I am not talented, and I have to bother my master to work hard for Lu, I am really ashamed to say it." ”

Wei Fuzi hurriedly held up Lu Yun with both hands, and said with a straight face: "Lu Zhizhou must not be like this, the people of Zhizhou care about the people, which is the blessing of Cangzhou." Now that Wei can do a little bit for Cangzhou's locust control, Lu Zhizhou can afford it, and it is also Wei's luck!"

The two greeted each other back and forth modestly, seeing that the time was not early, and they did not dare to delay any longer, so they got into the carriage when they came and went out of the house.

Lu Shuo looked at the back of the carriage leaving, stopped for a while, and then turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

Although he also wanted to follow up to Yuluo Mountain and see the process of the two inviting Mrs. Tang, he had no regrets when he thought that he still had important things to do at this time.

Yesterday, after Lu Shuo and Lu Yun discussed the idea of making locusts into food for export, Lu Yun handed over the burden of developing locust food types to the kitchen steward Hua's mother.

It's been a morning, and I don't know how things are going!

Lu Shuo thought about these things and entered the Hanging Flower Gate.

When he walked in along the verandah, he saw that the courtyard that was quiet on weekdays was a little lively, and the girls and ladies went in and out in an orderly manner.

Lu Shuo saw that they were busy in such an orderly manner, and nodded slightly in his heart!

It seems that this morning, the whole backyard has not been idle!

Lu Shuo couldn't help but look forward to it, and he didn't know how Mother Hua's task was completed.

Lu Shuo was delayed in the front yard for a while today, so he was a little late compared to the time he entered the hospital on weekdays.

Zhou's mother, Zhu Yi and others had been waiting for a while, and when they saw Lu Yun returning to the east wing, they hurriedly served him to freshen up and change clothes.

While letting them fiddle, Lu Shuo asked Zhou's mother, "Mom, do you know what happened to Mother Hua?"

Mother Zhou was scooping the last spoonful of lily pear paste at this time, ready to feed it to Lu Shuo.

Hearing Lu Shuo ask like this, he handed the spoon to Lu Shuo's mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, the cooks in our house are all brought from the Jingshi, and there is nothing to say about the cooking skills." What's more, for this matter, the master also invited all the more famous chefs in Cangzhou. No, in just one morning, the masters have already researched hundreds of dishes! That's enough for tomorrow's banquet. ”

When Lu Shuo heard Zhou's mother's words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

That's good, as long as my father can invite Mrs. Tang back today, then tomorrow's things will be more than half successful.

Lu Shuo's mood couldn't help but be happy.

At lunchtime, only Lu Shuo and Lu Shunying sat at the dinner table.

But the round table in front of the two of them was filled with more than 200 kinds of dishes on small plates.

These dishes range from bright colours to crisp and tranquil, and each dish is unique and original.

At this time, Lu Shuo didn't have to use chopsticks to taste it, and his index finger, which had been attracted by the appearance and fragrance of this table full of delicacies, moved and salivated.

If he hadn't known in advance, Lu Shuo really wouldn't have seen that these dishes were made by locusts with ugly appearances and rejected people, which shows the superb cooking skills of these masters.

That's what Lu Shuo wants!

Needless to say, the taste of locusts is delicious. Before, what Lu Yun and himself were most concerned about was how to make them into delicious food with full color and flavor, so that those Shilin people were psychologically more acceptable.

The effect made now is much beyond Lu Shuo's expectations, and Lu Shuo secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, feeling very satisfied.

Lu Shuo tasted a little bit of each dish, and after tasting them one by one, Lu Shuo said to the flower mother standing next to him: "Mom, I am attentive! These dishes are very good, the taste is pleasing to the eye, the aroma is tangy, the taste is pure, and it makes people leave a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks after eating, not much worse than those things made of dragon liver and phoenix marrow!"

When Mother Hua heard this, she smiled happily and said happily: "It's good if my brother likes it! It's just that these are all good craftsmen, and the old slave doesn't dare to take credit." ”

Lu Shuo smiled slightly, and when he heard her mention the master, he couldn't help but think of another thing, so he asked: "Mother Hua, since these locusts can be made into delicious dishes like beef and mutton, I wonder if they can also be made into locust sauce like these meats?"

Lu Shuo still misses the locust sauce he had eaten in his previous life, and he felt that if it could be made in ancient times, it would be cheap and good, and those poor families could afford to eat it, and it would definitely sell better.

When Mother Hua heard the locust sauce, she also came to her senses, and said: "Several masters have also tried to make several sauces, but because the time is still short, the effect can't be seen yet, I'm afraid that my brother will have to wait for a while to see it!"

When Lu Shuo heard this, these masters had developed several kinds of locust sauce, and he was even more surprised in his heart.

He was quite confident in the craftsmanship of these masters, and the method of making locust sauce was not difficult, Lu Shuo felt that it would definitely succeed.

With such excitement, Lu Shuo followed Master Qin to learn the afternoon's swordsmanship class.

When he returned to Lufu, the carriage that went out at noon had already returned, and he also brought back the crane-haired and childish Old Lady Tang.

Old Lady Tang was still dressed in that simple dress, no different from when Lu Shuo first saw him.

Lu Shuo was quite surprised in his heart.

He originally thought that Old Lady Tang, as a recluse, would not be invited down the mountain so easily!

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun and Wei Fuzi didn't use the spirit of "three visits to the thatched house" at all, so they only went up the mountain once and invited Mrs. Tang to their home.

Before Lu Shuo could salute, he was beckoned and shouted by Old Lady Tang.

When Mrs. Tang chatted with Lu Yun on the carriage on the return trip, she knew that the idea of selling the locusts was the first to come up with by Lu Shuo.

When he saw Lu Shuo for the first time, he only felt that this was a rare down-to-earth and steady person, with a peaceful practice that did not match his age.

Unexpectedly, this child still has wisdom, ingenuity, and kindness. In the future, if you can persist in devoting yourself to Confucianism and cultivating conduct, you will indeed be a person who can be of great use.

Although Old Lady Tang is old and virtuous, the only time Lu Shuo got along with him before, he saw that he was always kind and amiable, so Lu Shuo respected him, but he would not feel afraid.

Lu Yun stood in front of him, and Mrs. Tang combed the long hair on her chest with her hand, and said gently: "Good boy, I heard what your father said, and you brought up this matter." Tell me to my father-in-law, you are a child from an official family who has been clothed and fed since childhood, and you have not yet reached the age of Gong, and you are afraid that you can't even distinguish the grains, why did you think of doing this?"

Mrs. Tang's words were gentle, but her eyes were burning.

When Lu Yun heard Old Lady Tang's question, he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wei Fuzi next to him.

Everyone waited for Lu Shuo's answer.

Why? Lu Shuo couldn't help but think about it after Uncle Tang's question.

Maybe it's because I'm from the future! Maybe it's because I'm not an official son who doesn't know the sufferings of the people!

Therefore, I know the tragic situation of the coming of the disaster year and the starvation of the wilderness recorded in the history books of later generations, and I know the injustice of Zhumen's wine and meat smelling and freezing bones on the road. So it's a little deeper!

It's just that this reason is absolutely unspeakable.

Lu Yun thought for a moment, then raised his head and said loudly: "The sage said: The king of the people will serve the world with his way, not with his name. This requires that monarchs and ministers can be people-oriented and govern the country with the right way, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the world can be peaceful and peaceful. Although Lu Shuo was a child, he was also instructed by his father and master, and knew the truth that the world rises and falls, and the husband is responsible, so he decided that he could not eat, drink and enjoy himself at home, but sat back and watched the people under his rule live in dire straits. ”

Lu Shuo combined what he thought in his heart, thought about the Confucian sentence of benevolence, said a high-sounding reason, and slapped Lu Yun and Wei Fuzi's ass by the way.

The righteousness of the words is awe-inspiring, and it looks a little hypocritical from the eyes of modern people, but in this situation, it can really move people.

As soon as these words came out, Old Lady Tang and Wei Fuzi looked teachable, and Lu Yun was faintly proud of having such a son.

Old Lady Tang smiled and said to Lu Shuo: "It's good that you can have such an idea! It's just that some things are easy to think about, but it is difficult to stick to them for decades." If you can always stick to your original intention and not be shaken by the difficulties and obstacles in the future, it will be a blessing for the people to become an official in the future. ”

Lu Shuo was a little embarrassed to see that the excuse he came up with temporarily was so highly evaluated, so he humbly accepted Mrs. Tang's words of encouragement, and was taught again and again.

Several people had a good conversation. In the evening, Lu Yun arranged first-class accommodation for Mrs. Tang and the remaining Wei Fuzi, and then the two fathers and sons looked forward to tomorrow's banquet.

Early the next morning, the genius was slightly bright, and Lu Yun's study was lit up.

Officials who had gone to the counties came back one after another, and brought back good news.

It turned out that the green manure was as effective as Sun Lao said, and the grain in some places was ripe, and it could be harvested tomorrow.

Lu Yun knew that it would come to fruition, so he naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed.
