Back at Lu Zhai, dinner had been prepared in the kitchen, and the two of them started to eat after cleaning their hands, and at the dinner table tonight, Lu Youzhen was a little silent.

After dinner, when the two of them were walking in the yard to eat, Su Xi asked him what his grandfather had said to him.

Lu Youzhen frowned and said, "My grandfather seems to be very sure that I have a connection with Situ Youxi, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked me to ask Situ Youxi to meet him. ”

"How so? Could it be that my grandfather was so sure that Situ Youxi was still alive? Didn't my uncle move out of the Fu family when the palace changed? Didn't he tell his grandfather that he had seen Situ Youxi's body? ”

"I don't know, maybe someone is misleading my grandfather," Lu Youzhen denied it after speaking, "Grandfather is not like a foolish person, he must be sure, otherwise he wouldn't say it so definitely today."

"I repeatedly argued that I hadn't seen Situ Youxi, but he didn't believe it, he just felt that I was shirking and refusing to contact Youxi, is Youxi really still alive? When did you come into contact with me, and were bumped into and mistakenly thought we were in contact? ”

"But who can know what Situ Youxi looks like? Even if he is still alive, he will change his name and surname, as long as he doesn't say it himself, who can know that he is Situ Youxi. Su Xi felt that this guess was not very reliable.

"It's really tiresome to guess all day like this." Lu Youzhen couldn't help but complain.

Several princes in Beijing and their henchmen around them did not see anything abnormal, at most they sent some people to inquire about their situation near the Lu Mansion or keep an eye on their whereabouts, and the two people sent by their uncle had very tight mouths, and they were reliable in their words and actions.

There is no need to worry too much about the safety of the house, but the person behind the abduction of Su Xi has not been found, Lu You is always a little unsteady in his heart, and he has been suspicious of the people who have come to make friends with him recently, but after careful investigation, they have been denied one by one.

There are too many unknown things, Lu Youzhen has been exhausted recently, and there is no progress in the northwest, not to mention, with the resurgence of the rebels, the northwest, which had been calm for a Spring Festival, became chaotic again, and finally a nail planted in the Companion Moon Sect died on the battlefield before it could do much.

Lu Youzhen was a little dazed, and for the first time he was a little unconfident that he would be able to survive these terrible battles.

Hehe! He smiled self-deprecatingly, sitting in the Sifang City in the past, coldly watching the affairs of Beijing, always feeling that he had already understood everything, but when he was really in it, he realized that he was really weak.

Su Xi didn't disturb Lu Youzhen, who was contemplative, and walked around holding his hand, when he suddenly saw a figure at the door of the kitchen, and he didn't look like a cook, Su Xi took Lu Youzhen lightly and slowly approached.

She took a closer look, and it turned out that the person was Lu Zhou, only to see Lu Zhou rolling up his sleeves and standing next to a large water tank, he was illuminated by the soft moonlight, and his eyes were staring at the water tank intently.

"What is Brother Lu doing?" Su Xi asked.

Lu Zhou was startled, and when he saw Su Xi, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Come out for a walk, and if you see a few fish in this tank, you will come and take a look." ”

Do you need to roll up your sleeves to watch fish? Su Xihu looked at him suspiciously, but she didn't poke it, and she stepped forward with Lu Youzhen to see the few comfortable little fish swimming in the water.

Su Xi stretched out her hand and stirred it in the water, startling the fish to scurry around, she couldn't help but think of the fun of her eldest brother Su Wenqin taking her down to the river to catch fish.

She wanted to tease these little fish again, but Lu Zhou stopped her and said solemnly: "This fish is tender and fat, if you are frightened, the meat will become hard and it will not taste good." ”

Su Xi looked at the fish and then at Lu Zhou, and finally nodded, not bullying the little fish again, but she proposed: "Since it is fresh and fat, it is better to catch a strip for supper." ”

This proposal was in Lu Zhou's mind, and the two hit it off and began to discuss whether it was braised or steamed, and finally the two decided to make boiled fish fillets directly, Lu Youzhen looked at it with a smile on the side, where the fun of Su Xi was, he had no reason not to agree.

Su Xi rolled up her sleeves and grabbed a fish swimming in front of her, but the fish was very cunning, and she only touched someone's tail.

Su Xi was not discouraged, and turned to the other one, but the fish seemed to be more lively, Su Xi couldn't even reach its tail, and the fish jumped out of the water and splashed Su Xi's face.

She didn't give up, and wanted to try again, but Lu Zhou on the side said: "After you see the fish, aim at the bottom of it and catch it." ”

Although Su Xi didn't understand, she still did it, aiming at the bottom - ah, caught. Su Xi was very happy, but before she could show off to Lu Youzhen with the fish, the fish broke free from her hand with her tail.

Here Su Xi was angry with the fish, and Lu Zhou had already caught two big fat fish in a row, and he said to Su Xi with a smile while skillfully scraping the scales and breaking his belly:

"Don't look at these fish looking stupid, they are actually smart, they know how to use the power of water to hide themselves, obviously right under our noses, but they can always make us jump into the air again and again.

"In fact, this is the same as our lives, some people and some things seem to be real, but in fact they are illusory, maybe they don't exist in themselves, maybe they are hiding and secretly laughing at us, and we don't know it."

Su Xi was ignorant when she heard this, stretched out her hand and pointed towards the fish shadow she saw, her fingers broke through the illusory shadow, and there were waves in a circle, and the small fish kicked the tail of the fish, swaying the fins and swimming past her and sinking to the bottom of the tank.

Lu Youzhen listened but was thoughtful, he felt that he needed to think about the people around him.

Of course, at this time, it is naturally more important to have a supper, and Lu Zhou commanded Su Xi and Lu Youzhen to prepare ingredients such as bean sprouts, bean skin, and chopped peppers.

Su Xi knew that Lu Zhou's cooking skills were on par with his teaching level, and he was familiar with his movements, and he was about to cook often.

Looking at Lu Zhou's appearance, there must have been no misfortune to the fish in the Fengqi River, and the two silently mourned for the fish in the river.

The boiled fish that has been simmered for more than an hour is fragrant and spicy, and Lu Zhou also fried two side dishes with both color and flavor by the way, which attracted the index fingers of the three of them, and they were about to taste it, but the voice of the third prince came from outside the door:

"I said where did the fragrance come from in the middle of the night, and I thought that some gluttonous servant was stealing it, but it turned out to be you."

The third prince had a resentful look in his eyes, obviously blaming the three of them for not calling him for supper, Su Xi hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks for Su Wenhai with a smile and placed them in front of him.

The third prince's face was a little better, he put the wine jug in his hand on the table, and said, "How can a good dish be without a good wine, come, drink a little." ”

Su Xi and the three of them looked at him together, and the look of inquiry in their eyes was obvious: Didn't you really see that we were doing supper? The third prince didn't see it at all, he ate a lot of food, and sometimes drank a small wine to remove the spicy taste.

"Ahh The third brother is cunning, and I want to eat it too. Not to be outdone, Su Xi picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, and the spicy taste hooked his mouth.
