Weiyang Mountain. Wu family. Zhu Zhen got up early this day. The door of the Wu family is closed, and the Wu family has been like a cage that can't get out of the past eight years, enclosing Zhu Zhen here. Zhu Zhen became a little indifferent, but she was used to staying here.

Zhu Zhen was arranged to a house, no longer staying in the dark firewood room, where she spent two cold winters, longing, loneliness, loneliness, fear, hunger and cold accompanied her for two whole years. Until one day, the housekeeper Tang Gong told her that she could have a room of her own and could move freely around the Wu family.

At that moment, she slowly came out of the days of suffering.

In this way, another six or seven years passed, and she slowly grew up, and her body matured, and she grew from an ignorant little girl to a big woman with a resolute heart.

There are only Tang Gong, the housekeeper who meets every day, Cai Dian who guards the door, Fan Shi, Da Bucket and Xiao Keg, Wu Zun Wu Shide, Wu You and others, and nothing else. I never saw my father and mother again. She was once disheartened by her father, and even sometimes thought about a red rope but this life, but she was disturbed by her inner obsession, and she felt that one day she would leave here, leave the Wu family, and never be bullied by Wu Shide again.

Zhu Zhen looked at her face in front of the dresser, she seemed to have forgotten to smile, what was the smile on her face? There is only a face devastated by time, reflected in front of the mirror.

When Zhu Zhen went out, she went to Wu Shide's room to wait for Wu Shide. She dressed Woodsd as usual, wiped his face clean, then helped him into a wheelchair and pushed him out the door.

"Zhu Zhen, you look good today." Wu Shide glanced at Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen did not speak. "At noon, the superintendent will come to check my recitation of the "Theory of Balance", and you should also be listening." Wu Shide said to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen didn't dare to disobey. Over the years, I have also learned a lot from the supervisor and benefited a lot. And Wu Shide's attitude towards Zhu Zhen has also changed a little, no longer scolding and whipping her with a short whip. Wu Shide knew in his heart that Zhu Zhen had been with him for eight years and had suffered a lot of torture and suffering, so he should be able to treat him as a person.

"The way of a saint is to have scriptures, powers, and organic, and it is to have people, ministers, and ministers with hearts...... Wu Shide sat in a wheelchair, looking at the hanging willow trees in the courtyard, and the dancing birds among the willow trees, and recited the "Theory of Balance" over and over again in his mouth

Zhu Zhen watched every day for more than a month. Even he was about to memorize this "Theory of Balance", but this Woodsd still kept forgetting one or two. She sometimes thinks that Woodsd is an elm pimple, and she is very unenlightened. It's ridiculous to think about it.

The housekeeper Tang Gong is also old, since he said goodbye to Tang Yu that day, Tang Gong has sent letters to his daughter Tang Yu every once in a while, but he has not received any reply.

On this day, Tang Gong went to Wu Shide's courtyard to find Zhu Zhen, and when he saw that Wu Shide was concentrating on reciting, he didn't dare to come forward to disturb, so he just stayed where he was and watched for a long time.

After a moment when Wu Shide was sluggish, Tang Gong stepped forward and whispered something in Zhu Zhen's ear?

"Steward Tang, what did you do today?" Wu Shide asked Tang Gong.

"Wu Gongzi, did the master name today to eat the food cooked by Miss Zhu Zhen? I couldn't look for Zhu Zhen everywhere, so I came here to look for her. ”

Wu Shide got angry and said, "Today, Zhu Zhen will accompany the study, and let Fan Shi make the master's meal." ”

"This, this is not good, I can't explain it to the master. Look, Wu Gongzi, can you let Zhu Zhen do one or two, and let Fan Shi do the rest? Tang Gong said in a pleading tone.

Since Zhu Zhen worshipped Fan Shi as his master, he is also good at cooking every day, even surpassing Fan Shi, and now the chef has become Zhu Zhen, and occasionally Fan Shi is the substitute cook.

Wu You actually tasted the difference of a certain dish during a certain meal, so he specially asked one or two, only to know that it was from Zhu Zhen's hand, and since then, he has appreciated Zhu Zhen's cooking. Therefore, as long as Wu You wants to eat every time, he will deliberately let Zhu Zhen go to the kitchen.

Today, Wu Shide was extremely angry, listening to his father's orders, he was also unhappy. "Steward Tang, Zhu Zhen is only here with me today, you can go and let Fan Shi do it, if you ask, just say what I mean." Wu Shide looked at Tang Gong, Tang Gong bowed his head and was silent, feeling very embarrassed.

"Steward Tang, you go back first, I'll do it when I've prepared all the dishes to be made." Zhu Zhen looked at Tang Gong and said.

"Okay, Zhu Zhen, I'll go down and order." Tang Gong said and left.

Wu Shide was very angry when he saw that Zhu Zhen didn't listen to him, "Stretch out your hand." Wu Shide said to Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen had no choice but to stretch out her hands, and Wu Shide took out the small leather whip from his arms and slapped it on Zhu Zhen's palm. Zhu Zhen endured the pain and didn't dare to speak.

"I only whipped you today, and you can remember that you can't talk too much in front of me." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to say, "Remember." ”

"Then you go quickly, it's done, remember to come here to find me again." Woodsd said.

Zhu Zhen left Wu Shide and hurried to the kitchen.

When he came in, Steward Tang was also there, and when he saw Zhu Zhen coming, he was full of joy, "Zhu Zhen, you are here." ”

"Yes, Steward Tang, have you cut and washed all the dishes?"

The vat said, "The dishes are ready, just waiting for you." ”

"Okay," Zhu Zhen said and began to get busy, "By the way, what about my master Fan Shi?" Zhu Zhen didn't see Fan Shi and asked the bucket again.

"Fan Shi should go to the thatched house now." Vat said. In fact, Fan Shi didn't go to the thatched house, but only hid in a corner and watched Zhu Zhen from a distance, to see how she had surpassed herself in the past few years.

"This Fan is real," Zhu Zhen said to herself, thinking in her heart, she must have cooked too much, and Fan was really unhappy, thinking that her job was about to be saved.

"Big bucket, I'll tell you, you remember," and then said as he did, "Some dishes are moderately salty, some dishes are suitable for spicy stir-frying, some are simmered over low heat, and some need to be matured in eight or nine years, the pot is cold and does not put oil, the hot pot puts oil, fresh fish should not be left overnight, the meat should be fresh, and a chef's grasp of the heat must be precise and meticulous." This is all taught to me by Master Fan Shi. I just took it to heart. Never be impetuous, even if you are in a bad mood that day. ”

Fan Shi could hear it clearly not far away, and he only heard Zhu Zhen praise himself, and the resentment in his heart disappeared. I can only say that I am usually emotionally unstable, impetuous, and the food I cook is of no quality. But seeing that Zhu Zhen is getting more and more present, I am actually very relieved in my heart, after all, Zhu Zhen was taught by herself.

Fan Shi walked over from a distance, pretending to hold his stomach, "Alas, I don't know what I ate yesterday, but I have a stomach trouble today." Zhu Zhen, yes, it's getting better and better. ”

Zhu Zhen looked at Fan Shi coming over, and said, "It's still you, master, teach well." By the way, Fan Shishi, I'm afraid I won't be able to cook a few times in the future, and you will still need to work hard in the future. Then the Wu family's Wu Gongzi heard that I was going to cook today, and he was angry, and he whipped me with a leather whip? You see, this hand still hurts. Zhu Zhen stretched out her hand for Fan Shi to look at.

Fan Shi was also angry, "This Wu Shide, after so many years, is still so ruthless." ”

"Okay, Fan Shi, I'll do these two, and I'll leave the rest to you." Zhu Zhen said to Fan Shi.

"Okay, Zhu Zhen, don't worry, just leave it to me, you can go and go on your own."

Zhu Zhen saw that Tang Gongli was standing aside and didn't speak, Tang Gongda still admired Zhu Zhen in his heart, and he had watched Zhu Zhen grow up step by step over the years, just like his own daughter, at this time Tang Gong felt a little guilty in his heart, thinking that he was distressed that he had let Zhu Zhen be whipped. But I don't know what to say.

"Steward Tang, come out with me." Zhu Zhen said to Tang Gong.

Tang Gong heard this and walked out with Zhu Zhen.

"Master Tang Gong, in the future, you don't want to take responsibility for no reason, just listen to Wu Shide, let them solve the conflict between their father and son." Tang Gong didn't speak when he heard this, but just looked at Zhu Zhen's hand, "Girl, does your hand still hurt, do you remember the bruise ointment I gave you?" Hurry up and apply it, it won't hurt so much. ”

Zhu Zhen looked at Tang Gong and was very grateful, "It's okay Master Tang, then Wu Shide has a little affection for me, and it doesn't hurt so much." ”

"That's good, Zhu Zhen, you should also pay more attention in the future, don't get hurt easily."

After Zhu Zhen and Tang Gong finished speaking, they immediately returned to Wu Shide. Seeing that Wu Shide was still reciting the fragments in "Heng Theory" one by one, he silently stepped forward, and then leaned down to massage Wu Shide's legs. She knew that as long as Wu Shide's leg couldn't stand up for a day, she wouldn't want to leave the Wu family.

"Okay, Zhu Zhen, don't worry about my legs, I will tell you a few words, and when the invigilator comes to check my recitation, if I can't remember it for a while, remember to remind me one or two by the side." Wu Shide said to Zhu Zhen.

"Remember." Zhu Zhen replied. Unexpectedly, Wu Shide actually knew that he listened to the recitation every day, and he was also familiar with the "Theory of Balance".

It didn't take long for the superintendent to come over early. To Woodsted's surprise. "Wu Gongzi, do you remember what you want to check today?" The superintendent put on the face of a distinguished elder, and said a little disdainful to Wu Shide.

"I remember, I remember, today I am going to recite the Treatise on Balance," Wu Shide said to the superintendent, "I didn't think you would come so early?" ”

"The dawn of the day is in the morning, and the consciousness of the people in the morning is the most sober, and the memory of yesterday is particularly profound, so you can read it from the beginning." The superintendent stood aside, his hands behind his back, his back to Woodsted, ready to listen intently to Woodsd's recitation.

Wu Shide had no choice but to read according to the superintendent's teachings.

"The way of a saint is to have scriptures, powers, and organic, and it is to have people, ministers, and ministers with hearts......"

……

"Well, good, not bad. And then come. ”

"The husband and gentleman have a good heart and a villain has an evil heart, one and the same. Gentleman, gentleman ......"

Wu Shide seemed to have forgotten here, so he glanced at Zhu Zhen. Zhu Zhen understood, and hurriedly whispered the next content in front of Wu Shide's ear. But Zhu Zhen kept an eye on it, but thought that he would tease Wu Shide here, so he said to him, "A gentleman has an opportunity to become evil, and a villain has an opportunity to become good." ”

Wu Shide then recited, "A gentleman has an opportunity to become evil, and a villain has an opportunity to become good." ……”

The superintendent felt very inappropriate when he heard this, the original "gentleman has the opportunity to become good, and the villain has the opportunity to become evil." "Why is this Woodsd so good to tamper with. It's hard to interrupt him at this point, "Come on." ”

Woodsd then read out the rest.

"Well, it's okay, yes, there are mistakes in between, but it's complete. Today I will punish you five times and stretch out your hand. The superintendent looked at Woodsd and said.

This Wu Shide didn't know what the problem was, and he was very unhappy about accepting the five precepts in vain. But with the help of Zhu Zhen, he still finished reciting "Heng Theory" completely, and he didn't feel angry.
