Chapter 69: Books
The calm capital was swept by the news that King Jing had found his parents and children on the second day.
Zhen Hanxiao went to King Jing's Mansion early in the morning, and Lou Zheng handed over the herbal medicine drawings she drew on the way to the capital to Steward Yu, and asked him to find these medicinal materials for her on his behalf.
Then he turned around and went to Xiao Zhe's courtyard.
I heard that since he returned to the capital, he didn't even go out of the courtyard gate, he is different from Lou Zheng, Lou Zheng didn't go out because she was very strange here, no one had any relatives and friends, and Xiao Zhe's home was in the capital, and he grew up in the capital since he was a child.
Xiao Zhe was reading a book in the room, and the old housekeeper personally led Lou Zheng in.
"Young grandma slow down, there is a threshold here, the young master has been reading in the room for the past few days, the old slave doesn't know what he's looking at, and often lights the lamp to boil oil, the young grandma is here to persuade her, and she has no reason to look bad at her eyes."
The old housekeeper chattered and said a lot of things about Xiao Zhe along the way.
Lou Zheng just smiled one by one, but didn't respond a few words.
When he entered the house, the old housekeeper led a few servants to retreat.
"Ah Zheng is here." Xiao Zhe looked up and smiled at her, his eyes were always very deep, and he couldn't understand the deep Lou Zheng.
Lou Zheng sat on the cushion opposite him, and the house burned the earth dragon and put a brazier, which was very warm.
Stretched out his head and looked at the large pile of books spread out in front of Xiao Zhe's case, "Uncle Chang said that you have been reading books in your room all day for the past two days, did you work so hard every day in Xiao Mansion before?" ”
Lou Zheng glanced at the contents of the book in front of him as he spoke, and was stunned to find that they were all recipes. There are also some strange utensils and patterns, most of which are handwritten and drawn by him, and there are several thick books.
The patterns drawn on one of the spread out books were familiar, and Lou Zheng stared at it for a few seconds, as if he thought he had seen it somewhere.
She suddenly remembered, pointed to the pattern on the delicate atlas and said, "Did you ask someone to print this pattern on the porcelain plate?" The first time I went to Xiao's Mansion to eat, it was this set of porcelain plates. ”
Lou Zheng's reaction instantly made Xiao Zhe, who was sitting opposite, excited, and thought that Lou Zheng had seen something familiar and evoked her memories in the Far East Continent, but when Lou Zheng spoke, he could say it. Xiao Zhe's heart fell in disappointment.
It turned out that the junior sister still didn't remember anything.
He drew all the magic weapons he forged when he was with Lou Zheng. She also recorded some of the utensils and patterns that Lou Zheng was accompanied by, and even the clothes she liked to wear, her favorite jewelry, and every dish she cooked back then. At first, he just thought about himself. It is used to comfort oneself with thoughts that are becoming more and more uncontrollable. Later, he wanted to use these things to evoke Lou Zheng's memory.
Xiao Zhe hid his emotions and smiled, "Yes." Ah Zheng is right, this pattern was indeed made into porcelain by me. ”
He pushed a few thick booklets in front of Lou Zheng, "It's all handwritten and drawn by myself, if Ah Zheng is interested, you can take a look." ”
"Uncle Chang thought you were reading some books, but I didn't expect you to be studying these."
Lou Zheng opened an album, Xiao Zhe's painting workmanship was exquisite, and the utensils seemed to be alive under his hands, delicate and real, Lou Zheng turned the album page by page, and sighed: "I didn't expect Young Master Xiao to have such exquisite painting skills." ”
Xiao Zhe was choked by her casual title, "Haven't we already made a marriage contract, it's not appropriate for Ah Zheng to call me Young Master Xiao!" ”
Lou Zheng was also embarrassed for a moment when he said this, "Then according to you, what should I call you?" ”
"It's okay to call me by name, or you can call me Azhe."
Lou Zheng twisted his eyebrows, but still called him Xiao Zhe.
She turned to the end of the booklet, and even drew women's clothes and jewelry, seeing these clothes and jewelry, Lou Zheng couldn't put it down, "These clothes are really good-looking, if Xiao Zhe is willing, I will ask someone to do something according to this atlas another day." ”
Scold! This is what you liked when you were in the Far East Continent, even if you change places, your junior sister's preferences still haven't changed.
Xiao Zhe raised a smile on his face, "These are just paintings that I have nothing to do, and Ah Zheng likes to take them." ”
Lou Zheng was happy, "I'm just making some clothes and jewelry, I won't take away the results in vain, and the album will still be returned to you." ”
I changed a book and looked at it, this one has no pictures, just a cookbook, Lou Zheng roughly flipped through it, the more I looked at it, the more strange I felt, the dishes recorded in this recipe were basically what she would do, and sometimes some small tips were the same as her techniques.
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Lou Zheng closed the recipe, "Xiao Zhe, have you eaten all the dishes on this recipe?" ”
Xiao Zhe looked at her clear apricot eyes, and replied gently: "Of course, not only have I eaten them, but I have also seen people do them many times, otherwise I wouldn't remember them so clearly." ”
Lou Zheng frowned slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Unfortunately, I can cook most of the dishes recorded in the recipe." ”
"Oh? Ah Zheng will also do it, so I don't know when I will have the opportunity to taste Ah Zheng's craftsmanship. ”
Xiao Zhe's ordinary words made Lou Zheng have a strange illusion as if he was being forced to ask.
"There's always a chance."
Lou Zheng lowered his eyes, no longer looked at him, remembered her purpose of coming to find Xiao Zhe, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Xiao Zhe, when you return to the capital, it seems that you are Xiao Nian, aren't you going to go home?" ”
Go home? Lu Hongxiu's home is the Tianheng faction, it is the true monarch and his junior sister, and where is the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty!
Xiao Zhe did not answer this question directly, but asked Lou Zheng in turn, "What?" Zheng wants me to go home? ”
Lou Zheng nodded, "The events of a few years ago have long passed, although I don't know what the details are, but the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is the place where you were raised after all, your parents are still alive, if you are not in the capital, forget it, since you have returned to Beijing, you should go back to see them, and do your filial piety." ”
"Since Ah Zheng wants me to go back and have a look, I will arrange a trip back to the Hou Mansion tomorrow."
"Xiao Zhe, it's not a question of I want you to go back, it's ......"
"I'm getting married, so I should go back and inform them, Ah Zheng, can you go back with me?" Before Lou Zheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Zhe.
Accompany Xiao Zhe back to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion?
Lou Zheng never thought about it.
Xiao Zhe mentioned it for a while, which immediately made her entangled.
It stands to reason that they should accompany him back, although they don't plan to be a real couple, but after all, they are going to get married, and the etiquette outside must be complete.
After hesitating for a moment, Lou Zheng responded.
"Okay, I'll go back with you tomorrow to have a look, but I won't stay overnight in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion."
Xiao Zhe's smile at this time was a little sincere, "That's natural, I will accompany you back together." (To be continued......)
