It's a nice autumn with cool weather, I'm so hungry that I can eat a cow...
These were the ten words that Lu Sanlang uttered after standing in front of the bamboo house window for a long while.
Corresponding to these ten words is his depressed posture with his head hung down.
If he were in Lu Mansion in the capital at this time of year, it would be a little chilly at best, but during the day he still admired the cool and elegant bamboo forest. But last night it was so cold that it froze his heart!
There were only a few plates of juicy green vegetarian dishes for dinner, so he had to eat two big bowls of rice for the first time. At first, he was surprised by the quilt that was so thick that it could crush a person to death, and the mattress that was big enough to sink into, but he still woke up from hunger and cold in the middle of the night.
As for the few followers sleeping on the floor outside the bamboo house... he could even hear the sound of their teeth chattering last night!
Lu Sanlang regretted so much at this moment that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. If he was not afraid of angering Zhu Ying, he would have directly brought two maids to serve him. At that time, at least there would be someone to warm his bed, and he would not be like these servants who were useless except for staring blankly.
It was so cold last night that his teeth were chattering in bed, and his stomach was growling with hunger. He couldn't bear this pain alone!
He must let those guys in the capital who were gloating and waiting for him to be driven back by Zhu Ying and then come to please the beauty have a taste of what it is like to be a celebrity living in a bamboo house! Oh, and let them be punished by those problems!
Therefore, when he saw Qi Liang coming from outside through the window, he hurriedly went out to greet him with a smile.
"Brother Qi, is the old gentleman free now? I sent someone back to Beijing yesterday, and there are some things I need to discuss with the old gentleman now."
"Mr. Lu San actually got up so early, he's really energetic." Qi Liang nodded to him with a smile, "Mr. Lu said that life in the mountains is not easy. Yesterday we only had simple meals. I thought you would not be used to it."
Being praised for his vigor, Lu Sanlang could only laugh. After all, Zhu Ying was here, and he didn't want to give up his plan to cheat people. Yesterday, he was so honest that he didn't even let his followers go out to secretly get some delicious food. Now his mouth was tasteless, he was shivering, and he was cold and hungry. He just managed to smile, and then he heard something that made him extremely happy.
"That's great. Sir, please come over. I got up early and made some raw fish porridge, as well as some roasted game..."
At this moment, Lu Sanlang was only thinking about finally being able to have a good meal, so he agreed with great joy. He didn't even think about why an old man who lived in seclusion in the mountains would get up early to prepare such a meal that was obviously meant for lunch or dinner, and it was so greasy.
However, when he followed Qi Liang to the Qingfeng Xulai Hall in the center, he saw the thick cotton curtain raised high, and then he saw the person standing next to the main seat with a smile on his face, and he immediately felt a headache.
The lady wearing a red shirt with rich peonies embroidered on the edge, a red skirt with gold embroidery and hundreds of butterflies flying around, and covered in jewels, beautiful as a flower, who else could it be but Miss Zhu
"Hey, Lu Sanlang, you're here!"
It was the first time that Lu Sanlang had experienced Zhu Ying greeting him so warmly and without sarcasm. Instead of feeling happy, he felt a little numb.
