Zhu Youning sat sideways in the vacant seat opposite Luo Xun, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, in fact, I still hold a grudge." Stretched out his white left hand and waved, and said resentfully, "My hand has not been swollen in the past half a month." ”

Luo Xun was choked and couldn't help glaring at her, "You still bother me with a grudge?" Stupid girl, no one is upset. ”

"Aren't I afraid that my teacher will not have a taste for eating alone? Your old man looks at me stupidly, and I think your old man is a stubborn old man. ”

"The girl is not big or small!" Luo Xun knocked the back of Zhu Youning's hand with chopsticks, and pointed to the crab on the table with his chin, "Remove the crab for my old man." ”

Zhu Youning raised his eyebrows, "Okay." ”

Put all eight crabs in front of you, and start to dismantle the crabs in a similar way.

However, seeing her snow-white little hands holding scissors and small hammers in danger, and seeing that she couldn't dismantle the whole crab meat, Luo Xun sighed helplessly.

"Let's go, don't pity me for such a fat crab, I thought you would still have some qualifications in this area, but I didn't expect it to be so reckless, your father is much better at dismantling crabs than you, then, give it to me."

As he spoke, he snatched the tool and skillfully dismantled it himself.

As soon as Zhu Youning saw Old Man Luo's skillful movements, he knew that this was an expert in eating crabs, and then looked at him with sauce, eating the meat on the crab's feet with a face full of intoxication, and he was also a little greedy, holding his chin and watching.

Luo Xun closed his eyes and savored for a while, he was really conquered by the delicious taste, and just wanted to recite a poem, when he opened his eyes, he was facing Zhu Youning's big eyes like a small animal.

Shixing was suddenly diluted by most of the time, and Luo Xun couldn't help but say with a straight face: "Look, you eat by yourself, don't want my old man to serve you to eat crab." ”

"No, you can eat happily, teacher." Zhu Youning held his chin and looked at it with a smile, a pair of pleasing dimples on his cheeks.

Luo Xun snorted, and stroked his stubborn white beard with satisfaction while eating, but he was still defeated by Zhu Youning's eyes like this.

"Forget it, you little guy, wait, see how my old man dismantles the crab!"

Luo Xun deliberately showed off his skills and neatly helped Zhu Youning dismantle one.

Luo Lao's level of crab removal is also really high, the crab meat is complete, and the taste is delicious, Zhu Youning is satisfied with eating.

Luo Xun looked at the child's white and tender face one by one, and the appearance of eating was really pleasing, so he couldn't help but help her dismantle another one, and then he ate it with relish.

After the two of them finished eating the crabs and eating vegetables, they waited until they were full of wine and food, and let the little maid come in to serve the tea, and Luo Xun came back to his senses.

Isn't this apprentice serving the Master? How did they do it the other way around?

Glancing at Zhu Youning, who was holding a tea bowl opposite, Luo Xun snorted depressedly.

What a little fox!

Zhu Youning raised his head, glanced at the old man with a curled beard suspiciously, and couldn't help but think secretly, when people are old, their brains are inevitably unclear, they are all ninety-two years old, and they can still eat four crabs, a bowl of green stem porridge and a few vegetables in one meal, and they don't have old eyes and dizziness, let alone Alzheimer's, which is not easy.

Forget it, she won't bother with him about the palm of her hand in the past.

Besides, under Old Man Luo's teaching, she has made great progress, and she still has to thank others.

"Teacher. Tonight, it is said that there is a flower market by the river, and there are also painting boats performing songs and dances on the river. Anyway, we're full, and we're idle, so do you want to go out and hang out? ”

"There must be a banquet in your house today, you don't go back to the banquet, but come to trouble my old man, do you still have a little respect for the old at a young age!"

"If I didn't respect you, I wouldn't sit here and wait for you to train." Zhu Youning said with a smile, "If you don't like a lot of people, we can also take a painting boat to play." Wouldn't it be good to admire the moon on the Fuyang River, see the scenery and listen to the voices of people? ”

Luo Xun was a little moved.

Zhu Youning observed the words, and saw that the old man's hand smoothing his beard paused, so he said again: "Later, I will ask someone to prepare the carriage and horse, and our master and apprentice don't need too big a painting boat, just find a boat, find a secluded place, watch the scenery, and come back when you are tired." Your old man is sitting in a home school, and there is no place to relax all day, so it is better to go for a break than to go for a walk. ”

Luo Xun thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, who let the old man's life be bad, and actually accepted such a restless disciple as you." You go back to the house first to greet your grandfather and the prince, and then we'll go back when the hour is almost up. ”

When Zhu Youning heard this, he couldn't help but resist a little.

She actually didn't want to have contact with the Zhu family, and those who were red and white didn't think she was a relative at all, so why did she go forward.

Seeing her awkwardness at a glance, Luo Xun said: "Go quickly, there should be no less courtesy, besides, do you want people to know what you think in your heart?" That's not brilliant at all. ”

When Zhu Youning heard this, she suddenly looked up at Luo Xun, she couldn't imagine that Luo Xun would teach her these things in addition to her studies.

Luo Xun took a sip of tea leisurely, and did not take Zhu Youning's scrutiny to heart.

"Why don't you go soon?"

"Yes." Zhu Youning stood up, saluted and said goodbye to Luo Xun, and agreed to come back later and left.

Luo Xun leaned on the dark green elastic ink to lead the pillow to a beautiful sleep.

In the main house, the family gathered in the flower hall, and a group of storytellers were invited.

When Zhu Youning came in, he heard the storyteller tell a joke, which caused the whole room to burst into laughter.

Take a closer look, most of the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals have been moved, and melon seed skins, peanut shells, longan shells, etc. have been thrown all over the table. Apparently the family has been lively for a while.

This is the reason why Zhu Youning is reluctant to join in the fun.

But Luo Xun was right.

She knew she was often out of breath. And not letting people know what is going on is almost a basic skill to survive on the territory of the Zhu family in the future.

"Old lady, Miss Nine has come to greet you." Mother Wang, who was beside the old lady, stepped forward and whispered back.

The old lady, the second wife, and the third wife all looked at the door.

Eighth Miss Zhu Youxuan has always been raised by Lao Taijun's side, and she is the most filial to her elders, but she didn't pay much attention to the storyteller's performance, and her eyes were fixed on Lao Taijun.

Seeing that the old lady was moving, Miss Eight followed her gaze, and the girls at the same table all looked back.

Seeing Zhu Youning coming, the third lady Zhu Youwan looked unhappy, and the handful of pine nuts she was holding was thrown on the table casually, making a "bang" sound.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and the storyteller, seeing this, had come to an end for the time being, and curtsied and stepped aside.

Zhu Youning walked up to the old lady without squinting and greeted, "Grandmother is well." Then he turned back and greeted the second wife, the third wife, and the cousins.

The old lady smiled and took Zhu Youning's hand, let her sit beside her, patted the back of her hand, and chuckled: "Good boy, why did you come?" Grandmother still don't want to come. ”

The demeanor is gentle, but the words are provocative.

Sure enough, Luo Lao was right to ask her to come to ask for peace, if she ignored these people according to her temperament, although she was happy, it would be detrimental to her future development.

After all, she is still very weak now, and she still has to be attached to the Zhu family.

"Grandmother is not strange." Zhu Youning smiled shyly and said apologetically, "It's really that my teacher left me for a while, and I hurried into the house when I came out of my home school." ”

As soon as the word "teacher" was mentioned, everyone suddenly felt awe. Even the dissatisfaction in the old lady's eyes was gone.

The third lady covered her mouth and smiled: "It turned out that it just came out?" I heard that the ninth sister is often beaten by Luo Laoshan Chang. Luo Laoshan is inevitably too strict. The implication is that she is stupid enough to be detained again.

The sisters laughed.

Because everyone knows that there is a holiday in the afternoon at homeschool.

The eighth lady said: "The strict master is a high apprentice, and the ninth sister will become a great weapon in the future, which is naturally different." ”

seems to be a compliment, but it is actually a stubborn student who classifies Zhu Youning as a stubborn student who left her with corporal punishment by the old mountain chief who can be angry during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The ladies laughed even louder, and the second wife even trembled with laughter.

As if he didn't understand, Zhu Youning looked at everyone laughing, and smiled shyly, "The teacher left me to have dinner together, it's too time-consuming to dismantle the crabs, so don't make fun of me, sisters." ”

It turned out that he was eating crabs alone with Luo Lao!

Luo Lao loves to eat crabs, this is known to the old lady, the second wife, the third wife and others, and the people below have also heard of it, and today Luo Lao's basket of fat crabs was sent by Zhu Yanfeng by the second wife in the afternoon.

The second wife said sourly: "The crabs are bigger than a palm, can you dismantle them well?" ”

Zhu Youning became even more shy, and said with a blushing face: "I didn't dismantle it well, and my teacher reprimanded me, saying that I was reckless." ”

The second lady laughed.

The third lady and the others also pursed their lips and smiled.

Zhu Youning said again: "So the teacher won't allow me to do it." ”

The crowd didn't think it was quite right.

The third lady asked: "Then you still say that it takes time to dismantle the crab?" Don't be a random reason why you don't want to come to your grandmother? ”

"Third cousin, you misunderstood." Zhu Youning said embarrassedly, "The teacher splits the shares of two people by himself, so it is naturally slow."

Therefore, Zhu Youning is not only alone with Luo Lao to eat crabs, Luo Lao is still responsible for dismantling the crabs and serving Zhu Youning to eat!

The third miss, the eighth miss and the others felt powerless to even be jealous for a while.

In the past six months, when everyone laughed at Changfang and thought that they were the worst, Zhu Youning was always able to turn their cognition around.

A girl, it is impossible to get an industry when she emerges from the clan, who knows that later she can get Li Tuobei's friendship, can enter the eyes of the six princes and his party, and even the Zhu family was selected as the imperial merchant because of her.

Later, she followed the old lady to Hangzhou to participate in the Imperial Merchants Conference, and was selected by Rose, thinking that this was the limit of good luck, who knew that she had become a disciple of Luo Lao, and she could be treated like a granddaughter by the old birthday star, and she dismantled the crab for her to eat!

When they could only learn from the female celebrity, Zhu Youning had already gone to school and did business with his brothers at home, and his vision and life were already another circle.

What do they compare to her?

The old lady didn't care about the feelings of the rest of the people at all, took Zhu Youning's hand and said: "Good boy, Luo Lao is also lonely when he is old, you are right to accompany Luo Lao." ”

As for Luo Lao helping Zhu Youning dismantle the crabs and eat them, Lao Taijun felt that it might be that Luo Lao himself had no children and grandchildren, so he treated Zhu Youning as his great-grandchild, which is understandable.

In general, Zhu Youning's good performance in front of Luo Lao is a great benefit to the Zhu family, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, but it needs to be praised.

It was the old lady's attitude towards Zhu Youning that was completely opposite to before, caring so much that he even forgot to hear about the story.

The house full of children and dependents can only see the harmonious picture of the old lady and Zhu Youning asking and answering.

Zhu Youning chatted with the old lady with everyone's complicated gaze, and then got up to say goodbye.

The old lady said: "Stay today, don't worry about your family's affairs, these two storytellers are still invited from Hangzhou, you stay here and have fun with your grandmother." ”

It seems that there is a banquet in the house today, that is, to enjoy the flowers and the moon, listen to books and listen to music.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Grandmother's order for her granddaughter to dare to resign, but the teacher is going to go out for a walk today, and specially asked me to go out with me later." Another day, there is a chance that the granddaughter will stay with her grandmother. ”

When the old lady heard this, there was naturally no reason to force him to stay, so he not only let him go, but also ordered someone to prepare moon cakes, fruits and other things to send them together, and also ordered someone to help prepare the painting boat.

After everything was ready, Zhu Youning said goodbye to the daughters of the Zhu family, and took Bailing and Thrush all the way to the school, leaving behind the sour words of the third lady, the second wife and others.

Although there are singing and dancing performances on the Fuyang River tonight, they are not as crowded as the song and dance conference. There are many people who go out to enjoy the flowers and the moon together, but it is not to the point of being crowded.

Zhu Youning accompanied Luo Lao to the two-story boat specially prepared by the Zhu family, and sat down on the circle chair placed on the deck.

On a painting boat on the river, there is a woman singing in a playful voice, "The beautiful scenery of the good day is the sky, and the joy of the courtyard is the house", and the sound of singing and silk and bamboo came out of thin air along the water surface, and Zhu Youning could hear it clearly in such a quiet place.

Luo Xun ate the grapes leisurely, and began to talk to Zhu Youning about the Analects without a word.

Zhu Youning had no choice but to listen carefully.

At this moment, I saw a painting boat with a lantern with the word "Zhu" written on it slowly approaching.

On the painting boat, the old lady Zhu, the second master, the third master, Zhu Yanfeng, Zhu Yanguang, Zhu Yanlan and a group of servants and maids are all standing on the deck.

As soon as the painting boat approached, Old Lady Zhu took the lead in saluting: "Teacher." ”

The second old man and others also occasionally read and bowed: "Old Luo." ”

Luo Xun was not annoyed when he was interrupted from his lecture, and said with a smile: "I met here, and you also have Yaxing out for a walk?" ”

"Seeing that the teacher is here, I specially leaned over, where are you, teacher?"

"The little girl is reckless, open a small stove for her." Luo Xun said it as a matter of course, completely ignoring the faces of everyone on the painting boat.

Old Lady Zhu smiled: "I am really lucky to be your disciple. But this time I want to borrow nine girls from my teacher, and I want to talk to her about some important things. ”

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Old Lady Zhu's serious face, and then looked at Zhu Youning's small appearance, then smiled and waved his hand: "Go, go." I was also a little tired, so I went back first. You can send her home later. ”

"Yes." Old lady Zhu hurriedly ordered someone to put a pedal between the two boats.
