The old man's words, she understood. In three years, if she can't get out of her current predicament, maybe the old man will help her get free.

As far as she knows, if there are no special changes, she will spend the next two years studying cooking at this villa. In these two years, she studied cooking seriously, and then spent a year to complete the tasks assigned to her by Fu Heng and repay Fu Heng for her cultivation. When the time comes, I will participate in the cooking competition, win the ranking, and with the help of the old man, I may be able to change my identity. At that time, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the time of youth. After gaining freedom and having a good craft, what kind of good life you want to live has to be decided by yourself?

Thinking like this, she suddenly felt that the future was bright, and the reluctance and sadness caused by parting just now also dissipated a lot.

"Okay, let's stop cooking today, let's go out to the restaurant together." Seeing the cheerful expression on Luzhu's little face, the old man was also in a good mood, "There is a tavern not far from here, the veal made seems to be good, let's go and try it." He pointed to an entourage and said, "Li An, you go to the kitchen, call Dongzi out, and let's go to dinner together." Let the **** guard the kitchen and fry the medicine. Tell him that when we come back from dinner, the girl will drink the medicine, and let him decoct the medicine in time. ”

"Yes." Li An ran to the kitchen with great sympathy for ****.

After a while, Dongzi followed Li An in. The old man gave him an account of the decoction and gave him a month's salary.

I know that the old man always has to leave one day, and he can live here for ten days. It's unexpected. So when he heard that the old man was leaving, Dongzi was not as sad as Luzhu, and respectfully kowtowed to the old man. After saying a few words of retention, it can be regarded as the joy of the guest and the host.

Everyone went out together and went to a tavern not far away for a meal. The veal there is really as the old man said, tender and refreshing, and it is very hot. The old man never liked the set of "eating without words", so he let Luzhu comment on the beef, and said again about the special beef he had eaten over the years. The green bamboo is very rewarding.

"Old man......" Lu Zhu opened his mouth and was about to speak.

The old man glared: "What's the matter?" I haven't left yet, so you won't call me Master? ”

"Hey, Master." Luzhu hurriedly changed his words. In the past, she was a master, an old man, and an old man. As the old man's mood screamed, the more she found that the old man was happier. But since she received that jade plaque, she never dared to make it again. For fear that calling "Master" is regarded as Gao Pan. But at this time, the old man is still willing to listen to her call Master. She was really happy in her heart—it showed that the old man's feelings for her were still the same, and they had not changed with the change of status.

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "What's the matter?" ”

"Can this beef be sold at will? Aren't cattle farm treasures used to plough the land? How can it be slaughtered at will? "Luzhu knew that there was a ban on the killing of cattle in ancient China, so he wanted to inquire about the attitude towards killing cattle here.

Hearing this, the old man laughed, couldn't help but stretch out his hand and rub Luzhu's head, and said to Zhang Congzheng proudly: "Look at this apprentice who the master received, a little girl, but he cares about the people of the world." Thinking about everything is extremely magnificent, than those who are officials who only care about collecting money. People who don't care whether the people live or die are much stronger. He really deserves to be a disciple of the first sect in my world. ”

"Yes, yes, your eyes are like torches, you have a good eye for people, and the disciples you accept are naturally not ordinary." Zhang Congzheng hurriedly offered his sycophants, but his heart was secretly rare. Although the old man is sometimes short-tempered and childish, he is not a person who likes to flatter. Today, it seems that I want to listen to his sycophants, and it is extremely useful to listen to it; And the doting expression on his face towards Luzhu has never been seen before. It seems that the master has real feelings for this little girl named Luzhu.

The old man was very interested, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Zheng's politics at all, and explained to Luzhu: "In the past, the world was poor, the people were not able to make a living, and cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered. But in the past few hundred years, Dachen has not been war-free, politically clear, economically prosperous, and surplus manpower, and raising more cattle is nothing. This cow is raised too much, and in addition to agricultural use, it is also appropriate to satisfy the appetite of the people. So a hundred years ago, that ban was lifted. Now, there are more people who eat beef, and there are naturally more people who raise cattle; If you eat less beef, you can't sell more cattle, so it will naturally decrease. Cattle used by farmers to plough their fields are not included. So it won't affect farming at all. ”

It's about the same as modern times. Luzhu nodded, and had a further understanding of the environment he was in. In this era, the economy is really prosperous, and the country and the people are safe!

Knowing that Luzhu didn't have enough time, the old man didn't drink. After chatting and eating, we went back to the courtyard. Let Dongzi take the food he brought back to the kitchen to ****, and then bring the medicine up, watch Luzhu drink it, and then say, "Okay, you go back." ”

"Master, when are you leaving tomorrow?" Although Luzhu knows that his time is not free, he always hopes that he will have the opportunity to see off the old man.

"If you leave early tomorrow morning, you won't have to send it, it will only add to your sadness. It's getting late, so let's go back. Remember to come and drink your medicine on time every day. The old man waved his hand.

I have already said what I should know; No matter how reluctant you are, you have to separate. And thinking that after he finished his cooking skills, he would be able to meet the old man at the competition three years later, Luzhu felt much more stable, and he was no longer a mother-in-law, so he said a few words of farewell to the old man, gave a salute, and went back to the villa.

Passing through the tunnel, when it came to the exit, the green bamboo made it difficult. The recipe that the old man gave her, although it was not thick, had some area. Stuffed in his arms like this, he could be seen by people if he moved a little, and it was definitely not possible to take it out like this, so he had to hide it in a cave. However, this cave is so easy for her to discover, so sooner or later it will be discovered by others. The book is hidden in a cave, and it is not safe. This book was written by the old man, a famous Confucian at the time, and it was full of love and concern for her, and the content written in it was also extremely rare. For Green Bamboo. This book is so precious that it should never be lost, and it must be kept in a safe place.

I want to look around in the cave. In the end, Green Bamboo chose a gap in the stone wall, hid the book in it, and then made some dry grass to cover it, if he hadn't specially pulled it out by hand, he wouldn't have seen it at all. Fortunately, it was autumn at this time, and the weather was relatively dry, so it was not easy to cause mold in books. Otherwise, the green bamboo will definitely be even more distressed. But Rao is like this, she is still not at ease. I made up my mind that from tomorrow onwards, I would go through this tunnel every day to drink the medicine. When I returned, I read a book in the cave for a while, trying to memorize everything written in the book in a short time. Remember to find a secret place to hide the book later, so as not to take it out and put it on the ground and it is easy to have an accident. Besides, memorize the contents of the book. Even if the book is accidentally lost. did not waste the old man's hard work.

Although I know that separation is a matter of time, it is a blessing to be able to stay with the old man for more than ten days. That night, Luzhu tossed and turned for half the night, and then fell asleep in a daze. The next morning, after everyone went out to practice, she quietly walked out of the villa, facing the direction of Qingxi Town, and looked at it for a long time. Tears.

Maybe the old man looks very similar to her grandfather in her previous life, or maybe it is the old man's love and careful teaching to her. It's just that they have been together for more than ten days, but she sees the old man as the sustenance of her family affection in this life. This kind of relationship has nothing to do with blood, and it is not comparable to the cheap uncle who has been with her for half a year but neglects to care for her.

When she was looking, the old man took Zhang Congzheng and **** and others and quietly left Qingxi Town. And after they left, Liu Erye, the owner of the restaurant who spent five hundred taels of silver to buy the recipe of Buddha jumping over the wall, that is, Fu Heng's Lie Zhi, also quietly returned to the villa and reported to the master: "The old man has left Qingxi Town. Last night, he said goodbye to Luzhu, Zhang Congzheng and several people have been by his side, his subordinates are not working hard, they don't dare to get too close, and there is no way to find out what he said to Luzhu. However, according to Dongzi, when the old man was eating, in front of Mr. Zhang and others, he praised and spoke highly of Luzhu. ”

Fu Heng stared at the teacup in his hand, bowed slightly, and did not speak.

"Childe ......" Lie Zhi raised his head, looked at Fu Heng, and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Fu Heng put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at Lie Zhi.

According to the observation of his subordinates and Dongzi's words, the old man attaches great importance to Luzhu, praises him many times, and loves him a lot. Before leaving, he specially prescribed medicine for her, and personally grabbed thirty pairs of medicines, so that Dongzi could decoct her on time every day to adjust her body. It is not an exaggeration to say that he treats Luzhu like a granddaughter. The old man was honest and selfless all his life, he never sought personal interests for himself, and his prestige was extremely high, and even Emperor Da Chen respected him a lot. The subordinate thought that if the son returned the deed of sale of Luzhu to her and let her live a free and prosperous life, the old man would be very happy. The old man is happy, and the big thing that the son is planning may be able to get his help. Even if it's biased towards Childe to say a sentence or two, it's good. ”

"The old man has been honest and selfless all his life, how could he intervene in the battle between Yanbei and Da Chen because of Luzhu and help me? You're thinking too well. Fu Heng shook his head.

"Even if you don't help, it's better to sell him a favor than to make him dissatisfied, isn't it?" Lie Zhi raised his eyes, looked at Childe, and said carefully, "It's just a little girl, and letting her go won't cause any loss to Childe." On the contrary, it made the old man remember a favor, and this transaction was very cost-effective. ”

Seeing Gongzi staring at the verdant bamboo outside the door, he didn't speak for a long time, and Lie Zhi was worried in his heart, wondering if he had said something wrong. You know, Childe has always been extremely smart, and he has no worries. With such a simple truth, how could Childe not understand it? Then why is Childe still pensive and hesitant for a long time to make up his mind? Could it be that there is something deeper in this that I didn't think of?

It seems that the difference between himself and his son is not a star and a half!

Fu Heng lowered his eyes, reached out to pick up the teacup again, and took a sip of the slightly cold tea, which seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Luzhu is still young, not yet thirteen years old. Let her out, what does she do for a living, and how can she protect herself? Since the old man didn't have any hints, he took the liberty of letting her out, if something happened, how would we explain to the old man? I think it's better to leave it at that. After two or three years, when she grows up, she will slowly figure it out. ”

Lie Zhi wrinkled his brows, thinking about it for a long time, but he still didn't understand.

finally raised his eyes and looked at Childe suspiciously, hoping that Childe could relieve him.

Childe's words, why can't he understand? What if Luzhu is still young? Childe is fifteen years old, and he is doing big things to plot the world, so Luzhu is so smart and makes good dishes, why is it difficult to support himself? Let her live in Qingxi Town, within the protection of her own people, what else is there to worry about? Besides, worried that she has no livelihood and can't protect herself, recruit her into that restaurant, whether it's a cook or half an owner, won't it solve all the problems? What I have to do here is just an attitude of letting green bamboo go freely. After two or three years, the daylily will be cold! The domestic situation has been decided, even if you have the favor of the old man, what is the use? What's more, two or three years later, the old man still doesn't remember such a person as Luzhu, or two words. What better place to strike while the iron is hot?

Seeing Lie Zhi's suspicious gaze, Fu Heng put down the teacup, stood up, and shouted: "Lie Wei." Liewei said, "I'm going out for a walk." After speaking, he threw the sleepy Lie Zhi in the room and went out with Lie Wei.

"Childe, Childe......" has been with Childe for ten years, and Lie Zhi has never encountered such a thing as being left behind by Childe. If you don't understand something, you don't know it when you do it, and it's easy to make mistakes if you don't count it in your heart. Therefore, if you don't understand something, you must ask clearly, and you must not be a fool. That's what Childe said! So he resolutely carried out Childe's order, but Childe today, what's wrong?

Fu Heng obviously didn't want to explain to him, and when he heard his shout, he didn't hear it, and with a fierce might, he disappeared in an instant!

"Forget it, if you don't let it go, it's not a big deal. Even if it's a big deal, if there is a son, what kind of heart is ****? Lie Zhi muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and went back to Qingxi Town.

"Childe, where are we going?" Lie Wei followed behind Fu Heng, and when he saw that Gongzi was walking violently, the direction of his head turned out to be the courtyard where the girl lived, so he couldn't help but ask as a reminder. (To be continued.) )
