Chapter 10: The First Shared Pilgrimage Meal

Three days passed in a flash......

Early in the morning, the spring solstice appeared in front of the Lu family again.

Seeing Lu Yue'er, who came to open the door, she said straight to the point: "My family wants to see your brother, can you invite him to the town to see him?" ”

Lu Yue'er smiled nervously and asked, "Sister, what are you looking for him?" ”

Chun Zhi smiled politely but detachedly: "I just follow the orders of the head of the family, and I don't know anything else." ”

The Lu family was looking forward to it in the lobby, waiting for Zhong Xuanlan to appear, but now they only saw the spring solstice, and they had some doubts in their hearts.

Lu Yue'er saw that Chunzhi was reluctant to enter the house, so she had to shout: "Mother, my sister is going to take my brother to the town to see Zhong Da in charge." ”

Lu Wang listened to these words at the kitchen door, glanced at the person who came again, walked to the kitchen very quickly, pulled up Lu Xuannian, who was scrubbing the iron pot, threw the loofah in his hand into the pot, and dragged the person straight out.

Lu Xuannian was dragged by her and stumbled, almost falling, but she didn't know at all, and said excitedly: "Er'er, the spring solstice girl is looking for you, remember to behave well today, you know?" ”

When Lu Xuannian heard this, his heart trembled slightly, do you want to choose?

He spent the past three days like a year, and he was very afraid of the arrival of time, and he was very reluctant to become her confiner and let her play with it.

But for the past three days, his family has been whispering in his ear about a prosperous and rich life, and he will do whatever it takes to please and flatter her.

Seeing that someone was coming, Chun Zhi got up and saluted, and asked, "Master Lu, the family is going to see you, are you willing to meet her?" ”

Lu Xuannian, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, turned his head to look at the people in the lobby in confusion, as if seeking their opinions.

Lu Li, who hurriedly walked out, said flatteringly: "Fifth grandson, you go, you don't have to do the work in the field today, and you can play with Zhong Da Dang." That, girl, my fifth grandson doesn't understand human feelings, so it's okay for him to bring my eldest grandson? ”

Chun Zhi glanced at Lu Li's family, raised his chin, and refused: "The head of my family only saw Lu Wugongzi, Lu Gongzi, let's go." Farewell to everyone. With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lu Li had no choice but to give up, dragged Lu Xuannian, who was about to leave, and advised: "Behave well, you know?" If you lose this owner, you three rooms will wait to be evicted from the house! ”

Chun Solstice paused, and continued to walk forward with small steps, thinking in his heart how the head of the family would do something to this big family?

When Lu Li let go of his hand, Lu Xuannian left without saying a word, he had a feeling that meeting that person this time would make him willingly accept the unequal conditions, which would not only change his fate, but also the fate of his family......

In the town, Zhong Xuanlan in the private room on the second floor of the Zhong Family Restaurant was checking the account book of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant was reporting the situation.

Zhong Xuanlan asked a question or two from time to time on the account book, and asked the restaurant shopkeeper sweating profusely, and his hands and feet trembled.

Zhong Xuanlan hooked the corners of his mouth, he dared to do anything to the accounts when he was far away, he was not small.

"Winter solstice, take him to the official office."

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The big boss will spare the little one this time." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said coldly: "Spare you? Haven't you read the Zhong family's business rules? ”

The "Zhong Family Business Rules" was compiled by the Zhong family for several generations, and was used to restrain low-level stewards, shopkeepers and associates. It records the duties of the steward, the shopkeeper, the conditions for promotion, and the punishment.

The shopkeeper explained humbly: "Big boss, my child is sick and needs money, and I have no way to embezzle it. ”

Zhong Xuanlan stared at him for a while, but he still refused to tell the truth, shook his head slightly, and said, "The winter solstice will take people away." ”

"Yes." The winter solstice dragged people up and walked out.

As soon as the spring solstice led Lu Xuannian to the staircase, he met the two people who were going downstairs.

Spring Solstice looked at Winter Solstice and asked, "Winter Solstice, what's wrong?" ”

Dong Zhi replied: "I embezzled five thousand taels by making false accounts, and the big boss asked me to send him to the government." ”

Chun Zhi nodded and said, "I'll go upstairs first." ”

The winter solstice grabbed people, staggered past them, glanced at Lu Xuannian, and took people away.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

Chun Zhi listened, pushed open the door and walked in.

Lu Xuannian glanced in at the door, shocked in his heart, wearing purple clothes, sitting there, frowning slightly, turning the page from time to time in his left hand, writing with a brush in his right hand, a serious and focused person, and the extravagance of his gestures made him feel inferior.

Spring Zhiyu reported: "The head of the family, the person has arrived. ”

Lu Xuannian was a little puzzled, why did Chun Solstice call her differently?

Zhong Xuanlan commanded without raising his head: "Let him in." ”

"Yes." Chun Zhi turned around and nodded at Lu Xuannian.

Lu Xuannian walked in, did not speak, and waited for Zhong Xuanlan to speak.

Zhong Xuanlan lowered his head and asked while dealing with things, "Have you eaten?" ”

Although the words were cold, they were heartwarming to listen to, Lu Xuannian thought of his family, they only cared about pleasing others, did he remember that he didn't eat?

Seeing that Lu Xuannian lowered his head and didn't reply, Chun Zhi replied: "Lu Gongzi hasn't eaten yet, I'll go prepare a meal now." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "Go ahead." Lu Gongzi, you can find a place to sit at will. ”

Lu Xuannian nodded, and found that she might not have seen it when she lowered her head to do things, and said, "Okay." Then he sat down in a chair by the window, facing her sideways.

Soon, the spring solstice came in to report that the morning food had been prepared.

Zhong Xuanlan put down the pen, closed the account book, looked at Lu Xuannian and said, "Let's have dinner first, and then talk about things." ”

Lu Xuannian lowered his eyes and whispered, "Okay." ”

After the food was arranged, Zhong Xuanlan got up to wash his hands, walked to the round table and sat down, saw that Lu Xuannian was still standing, and said, "Sit down." ”

Lu Xuannian nodded and sat down opposite her.

Zhong Xuanlan instructed: "On the spring solstice, you go down to eat." ”

"Yes." Spring Solstice was ordered to retreat.

There were only two people left in the room, and Lu Xuannian was nervous and a little restrained, not knowing what to do.

Zhong Xuanlan moved the chopsticks first, and found that the person opposite did not move the chopsticks, put down the bun that he had bitten into, took the chopsticks and sandwiched a bun for him, and said, "Eat, it's not delicious if it's cold." If this is not to your taste, I will order another food to be served to you. ”

Lu Xuannian's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "No, no, these are already the best foods I have ever eaten." ”

Zhong Xuanlan quipped: "You haven't eaten yet, how do you know it's the best?" ”

"I, I."

Zhong Xuanlan saw that he was nervous and said, "Eat." ”

Lu Xuannian smiled and said, "Okay." ”

No one has ever given him a dish at home, this is the first time someone has given him a dish, his heart is slightly warm, he doesn't know what this bun is made of, but it is very fragrant, very fragrant, enough for him to taste for a long time.

Zhong Xuanlan saw that he only cared about eating steamed buns, did not drink porridge, and did not eat vegetables, frowned slightly, and served him vegetables and porridge.

After the meal, Chun Zhi came up with two cups of tea, Zhong Xuanlan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and ordered: "Chun Zhi go to guard outside the door." ”

"Yes." Spring Solstice was ordered to retreat and stand guard at the door with Winter Solstice.

Lu Xuannian knew that he was going to talk about business, and he was a little flustered in his heart, did he have to make a decision? The hand placed on the knee unconsciously clenched into a fist.
