Chapter 51: An Occasional Corner
That day, Lu Zhi got Du Ruhui's purple jade as a token, but he didn't rush to the door, but spent a few days inquiring about some things, and it took another seven full days to visit Du's mansion with the purple jade.
Du Ruhui didn't ask him why he was late, so he took him to Guozijian to go through the enrollment procedures, enter the naturalization register, enter the four schools, and use some privileges to arrange them to live in the dormitory specially placed for the school in the backyard of Guozijian, just waiting for the start of school.
When Lu Zhi talked about their move to the school dormitory hall, Lu Shi couldn't help but ask, "How can your second brother live in that hall, if it's inconvenient, let him go with us at night." β
Lu Zhi said with a smile, "There are many children of officials here, who didn't bring a scholar to school, so the room is all separate, only wronged him to take the place of the scholar, mother don't worry, you and Xiaoyu are living in someone else's yard after all, and it is inconvenient to bring the second brother, so let him live here with me first, and wait until we buy a house." β
Only then did Lu Shi put his mind at ease, and asked him some questions about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and saw Lu Zhi patting his brain lightly, and said to Lu Jun on the side, "Second brother, you go back and get the silver I put away." Lu Jun nodded in response, and without waiting for Lu to stop him, he lifted the curtain of the compartment and ran out like a wind.
On the side, Yu Yu asked in wonder, "What kind of silver?" β
The smile on Lu Zhi's face deepened, "I go to school here, and I still have two taels of silver every month," after seeing Lu Shi and Yi Yu's surprised expressions, he continued, "Not only the silver, but also three meals a day and refreshments are also provided by the school, and three sets of clothes will be sent down every quarter." With that, he got up and showed them his new clothes.
Yi Yu had already noticed that the clothes Lu Zhi was wearing were the same as the three gentlemen he had seen before, the difference was that Lu Zhi's body was pure white, and he was wearing a small white gauze crown of the same color on his head, and this white dress was worn on Lu Zhi's body, but it made him even more handsome and warm.
The mother and daughter tacitly did not tell what they encountered when they were waiting outside the door, and sat down for a while to eat refreshments, and Lu Jun, who ran to get the money, came back.
Lu Shi took the small white bag he handed to him, only to feel that his hand was quite heavy, and opened and carefully checked the few pieces of silver, there were more than a dozen taels, and before she could ask in surprise, he heard Lu Jun say with a grin, "Mother, eldest brother can save it, the silver you gave when we left home only cost a small half, plus the six taels of silver that the eldest brother received a few days ago, there are sixteen taels here." β
Lu Shi hurriedly said, "What are you doing so frugally, my mother has money, so you should keep it." Then he wrapped up the silver again.
Lu Zhi patted Lu Jun's head when he heard this, and scolded with a smile, "Where is it saved, but there is less time for you to eat your mouth," before turning to Lu Shi again, "Mother, don't listen to him, it doesn't cost us anything to live here, and I keep two taels of silver, you can take this money and buy some things for Sister Xiangxiang, I really want to thank her." And I see that Xiaoyu's sleeves are short, and your body is also from a few years ago, so it's better to go back and pull some good cloth and make a few clothes than to leave it idle here with me. β
When Lu Shi heard his words, he was stunned for a moment, and then leaned over and quickly grabbed the jade that had not had time to retract his arms, and sure enough, he found that the cuffs of the clothes she was wearing were about two inches shorter.
Lu Shi looked up at Yi Yu's cute little face, and said softly, "I've been busy for a while, and I haven't taken care of you, how come I didn't tell my mother that you were short here when I made clothes for Sister Xiangxiang last time?" β
Yi Yu is the age of growing up, although she doesn't make many clothes every year, but when she was in the mountain village, every time she obviously gained weight, the Lu family either made her bigger, or remade a new one, and never asked her to wear such shorter clothes. Since Lu Zhi rushed to take the exam last year, in order to raise money, he let this jade wear the old clothes for a whole year, but now it is so short.
Yi Yu saw her expression and knew that she had made her feel distressed, and a warm feeling instantly surged in her heart, and after glancing at Lu Zhi, who was looking at "said the wrong thing" on his face, he said to Lu Shi, "This is not the big brother's sharp eyes, I haven't noticed it myself, I think I grew tall when I arrived in Longquan Town." β
Seeing that Lu Shi's eyes were still slightly red, he hurriedly hugged her arm and said coquettishly, "Since my mother feels sorry for me, go back and make a beautiful dress for me, you can accept the money given by the eldest brother, I see that they have lived here for a month, but they have eaten fat." β
Lu Zhi took the opportunity to receive it, "Yes, mother, the food in the school is very good, there are vegetables and meat, and most of them are fried in oil." By the way, I heard Brother Ji say that there is a restaurant near here with good dishes and cheap prices, it's noon at this time, let's go and talk after filling our stomachs, okay? β
After seeing that the three of their brothers and sisters were all making an expression of "unbearable hunger", Lu Shi burst into tears and laughed and responded.
***
Just when the four members of the Lu family were eating and laughing, in a remote corner of Chang'an City, in a private house with a quiet environment, on a delicate small building, Ah Sheng was guarding outside the door of a room on the second floor, waiting for the summons of his master.
"Come in." After a low sound came to his ears through the door, he gently pushed open the lacquered wooden door in front of him, turned around and closed the door after entering the room, and walked in.
In the exquisitely furnished bedroom, Chang Gongzi, who was dressed in a water-colored brocade robe, was leaning on a mahogany soft collapse under the blue sarong window, his long black hair was loosely spread, and a few strands of stained were next to his fair face, half-asleep and half-awake slightly closed his misty eyes, and occasionally a few traces of blue and blue streamers overflowed from it.
If Yi Yu saw the lazy appearance of this young man at the moment, he would definitely cry out and be deceived, wondering if this person was the same as the autistic weirdo he had seen who was always sitting upright.
"Won't you let go over there?"
"The subordinates are incompetent, and they refuse to confess." After Ah Sheng hung his head and said this, there was no sound in the room, until another sound came from outside the door, and then he heard the timbre mixed with the boy's rhyme, which sounded in a low voice.
"Kill them all," Fang said after a slight pause, "Leave a whole corpse, after all, it's ......" The rest of the words Chang Gongzi did not speak, but stretched out a smooth palm and waved it at Ah Sheng, and Ah Sheng turned around and retreated.
Another person followed Ah Sheng and walked in lightly, and it was not until three steps before the mahogany collapsed that he held a silver silk pouch in both hands, and waited for Chang Gongzi to take it before he quickly retreated.
Chang Gongzi stretched out his hand and pinched out a green leaf from this lotus bag, only smelled it for a while, then sighed, and whispered to himself, "It's obviously the same thing, why doesn't it work, you have to ......"
Speaking of this, he threw the delicate silver silk lotus bag to the ground, groped out a delicate green leaf like a little finger from the loose cuffs, put it between his nose and sniffed it, his half-closed eyes slowly closed, and a few lines of timbre lightly overflowed between his thin lips.
"It's this taste that ...... right."
