Chapter 34: I Can Afford You

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

It was already past noon on the return trip, and Bai Susu was not in a high mood in the carriage, and what lingered in his heart was a faint sadness.

The situation of the Sun family siblings is not an isolated case, after the earthquake, I don't know how many people are still like this, and the poor family has no money for treatment, so they can only resign themselves to fate.

"Are you still worried about the Sun family siblings?" A burst of warmth in her hand made her look up at the man in front of her.

Bai Susu nodded, his eyes filled with a strong uneasiness, "Second Master, I'm very scared, there was a slight earthquake today, but if there is another earthquake after a while, we don't have any countermeasures, so what?" ”

So what?

Lu Zhiyuan frowned, it took a whole month for the imperial court to receive all the relief money this time, fortunately, the scope of this earthquake is still small, and he has already taken the silver out to purchase materials first, stabilizing the mood of the victims, so there is no chaos.

But if it is really like Bai Susu said, if there is another large-scale earthquake and a large number of people are involved, then I am afraid that he will not be able to get over it first with a few hundred taels. When the victims could not eat, they would start to make trouble, and the displaced people would run around, and once a large-scale riot broke out, his local officials would be the first to bear the brunt of bad luck.

Thinking of this, he also began to feel uneasy in his heart, the officials sent by the imperial court to detect the earthquake had patted their chests and assured that the earthquake had stabilized and would not happen again, but sometimes things were most afraid of what happened.

"I'll think about this matter carefully when I go back, don't worry." Lu Zhiyuan patted the back of her hand.

Bai Susu was slightly relieved to see that he had finally listened to his reminder. As long as he takes this matter to heart, with his character, he will definitely start to prepare for the corresponding things. As for what to do in the future, it's not something that her concubine should worry about.

Lu Zhiyuan said that he was taking Bai Susu out for a walk, but when he saw her go out for a while, his mind was even heavier, so he thought that Aunt Bai was greedy, so it was better to take her to a restaurant in the city for a meal.

They went to the largest restaurant in Anyang City, called Zuiyang Building. At this time, after the meal, there were not many people in the store, so Xiao Er invited the two of them to go up to the second floor and found a seat near the window to sit down.

Xiao Er is not very old, and after they sit down, they will start to report the name of the dish loudly, which is a major feature of Zuiyang Building, there is no dish card, all of them have to be reported directly to the guests by Xiao Er.

Chicken, duck and fish, fried and fried, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running in the mountains, buried in the ground, as long as you want it, you can make it here for you.

The name of the dish is also very distinctive, with a good meaning and an elegant name.

Bai Susu listened to Xiao Er's report, and finally said, "Let's have a pearl jade white jade soup." ”

Zuiyang Building is not only in Anyang County, but also in a few years the branch will be opened in the capital, Bai Susu has been to Lu Zhiyuan a few times in her previous life, at first she didn't understand the meaning of the names of those dishes, thinking about the pearl jade white jade soup, as soon as she heard the name, it must be excellent, but Xiao Er brought a cabbage tofu up, and she was dumbfounded.

But now she really thinks that it is good to be able to eat a meal of cabbage and tofu, compared to many people outside who are still hungry, she is already lucky to be able to eat and dress warmly.

"Just this one?" Lu Zhiyuan looked at her and was distracted again, and reminded him helplessly, "Don't you like cabbage and tofu?" ”

Bai Susu is from a farmer's family, and every year in winter, the family has to reserve a lot of cabbage for the winter, whether there is a vegetable at home, Bai Susu's mother makes cabbage all day long, eats the last meal and eats the next meal, so to be honest, she really doesn't like this dish.

She has been in the Lu family for so long, and occasionally cooks cabbage in the kitchen, but she never moves her chopsticks, only picks the meat she likes, and gradually Lu Zhiyuan has also figured out some of her tastes.

"I want cabbage and tofu." Bai Susu nodded firmly, she wants to be a thrifty concubine now, she can't be extravagant and wasteful, just start with this meal.

Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, and reported two more dish names, Bai Susu heard it, a chestnut chicken, a steamed fish, and his little hand looked at his sleeve, and the look signaled not to order.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't seem to realize it, and said from Xiao Er, "It's okay to have another pot of sweet rice stuffed." ”

Xiao Er said a word, and waited for Ma to retreat.

"You know how to save me money?" Lu Zhiyuan looked at her with a look of chagrin, and he really didn't know what to say.

Bai Susu sighed, "Second master, let's just eat some." ”

"You've always been greedy, what's wrong today?" Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, something must be strange when things go wrong, especially with a temperament like Aunt Bai, if she is not allowed to eat, it will be the same as killing her.

Bai Susu glanced at him with complicated eyes, and said very sadly, "Second master, you are working so hard outside, how can I eat and drink at home." Today, I look at the Sun family sisters and brothers, I feel very sad, I don't know how many people like them are yet, in the future, I will cut back on food and clothing, and the money I save can also help people like the Sun family sisters and brothers. ”

When Lu Zhiyuan heard it in front, he felt that Aunt Bai had indeed grown a lot, and he knew that life was difficult, but the more he listened to it in the back, the more it was not a taste. What does it mean to be thrifty and frugal, is it difficult for him Lu Zhiyuan to not even be able to afford a meal of meat?

"You can eat as much as you want!" He said this with a calm face and a calm voice.

Bai Susu was taken aback, and he didn't know why he was not moved by his tears when he was so well aware of the righteousness, but he was still angry.

"Second master." She pulled the man's sleeve in a whisper, "The money at home is tight, so save some if you can." ”

Lu Zhiyuan was glared at by her angry blowing beard, of course, he didn't have a beard now, so he could only stare dryly.

Coincidentally, Xiao Er came back with wine and food, and Lu Zhiyuan swallowed all the words he didn't say.

There were three dishes on the table, two meat and one vegetarian, Bai Susu looked at the cabbage and tofu in front of her, and then compared the chicken and fish that were very delicious in front of Lu Zhiyuan, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

"The chicken is well done." Lu Zhiyuan took a bite of chicken, swallowed another bite of rice and praised it.

Bai Susu swallowed her saliva, the thrift she just said must not give up halfway.

"This fish is also good, the meat is delicious." He took a second bite as he spoke.

Bai Susu stared at the cabbage tofu for a while, and caught a glimpse of a chicken leg out of the corner of her eye, and her hand stretched out towards the chicken leg in disobedience.

Syllable!

A pair of chopsticks suddenly hit her chopsticks, and the man looked at her calmly and said, "The money at home is tight, you should still be a vegetarian." ”

"But you can't eat that much of this meat." Bai Susu whispered a defense.

"Aren't you going to cut back on food?" Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, "Leaving your words behind so quickly?" ”

Leukin, "......"

"Can you start eating and clothing from tomorrow and eat the last meal today?" What she said was quite a bit of the heroic momentum of a strong man breaking his wrist.

Lu Zhiyuan sighed, no longer teasing her, reached out and put the chicken leg in her bowl, "Eat." ”

Bai Susu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she took a bite of the chicken leg, and when she was eating beautifully, she heard Lu Zhiyuan's voice coming.

"In the future, you don't have to think about cutting back on food and clothing, no matter how poor your man is, it is still more than enough for your little aunt."

Bai Susu was stunned, she still had chicken in her mouth, so she raised her head in a daze, and even forgot that there were still a few crystal clear oil flowers standing at the corners of her mouth that had not been wiped off.

She felt inexplicably warm in her heart, and before she could decide whether it was better to swallow the food in her mouth first or express her love first, the man in front of her had already taken the handkerchief on the table and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"I really don't know what to say about you, how old are you, you can't even understand what to eat." Lu Zhiyuan's words were obvious reproaches, but his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

The atmosphere was just right, and she was about to lean into his arms when she heard him continue to speak, "But you have indeed eaten too much lately, and look at your face has become a ball." ”

In fact, he still thinks that the chubby Aunt Bai is more likable, especially with her stupid appearance, she looks like a little pig.

Bai Susu, the gentleness of "......" just now is an illusion, an illusion.

The meal passed quickly in the two of them talking and laughing, and when they returned to the Lu Mansion, looking at the house in front of them, Bai Susu suddenly felt sad again.

She didn't have to think about anything else when she went out, and she could pretend to be the man next to her with her eyes full of heart, but when she returned here, she had to face many things.

Luo's problem is there, she doesn't even have a reason to say against it, as a concubine, she is someone else's slave, and the master's mother doesn't need a reason to fight or kill.

"I was fine just now, why are I upset again?" Lu Zhiyuan took her hand and got out of the car, and when he saw her hanging her head and looking listless, he thought to himself, this woman is really troublesome, and changing her face is faster than changing the sky.

"Second master, will you come to see me?" Bai Susu hesitated to ask, wanting to know the answer and afraid that he would be sad to know.

"It'll pass, don't think about it." Lu Zhiyuan could hear what she was asking.

He has lived in Luo's courtyard for half a month, and in fact, he has been sleeping in separate rooms, but this matter is also known to a few henchmen in Luo's courtyard. He hesitated to tell Aunt Bai the truth, thought about it and gave up.

Aunt Bai's background is too low, and it is not a good thing for her to know too much, and she has everything on her face, so that people can see through it at a glance, once she is caught in front of Luo, she will have to be troubled.

He is busy with too many things outside all day, and he can't always be distracted to manage a little aunt, Lu Zhiyuan is a little annoyed when he thinks about it, Aunt Bai is a little stronger, he will consider letting her stand up in the backyard and fight against Luo, so that she will not be bullied. But as far as her shrunken turtle temperament is concerned, she is the first to scare down when she encounters trouble, counting on her to stand up, and the sun has to come out in the west.
