"Amitabha, I was out for just one day, and yet so many things happened. It must be the Bodhisattva's blessing, otherwise why would Mr. Ge stand up and support Ah Shou..."
Early in the morning, Zhang Shou was awakened by Wu's nagging in the yard.
Although he had stayed up all night the day before, he was still young after all, and finally recovered his energy after a good sleep. After getting up, washing and changing clothes, he pushed the door open and went out. He just learned from Wu that Zhu Ying had urged Zhu Hong to take Zhu Yu to the Shuntian government office in the capital early in the morning, and she herself took Zhan Jin and Liu Yin to investigate the village.
In the words of the eldest daughter as relayed by Wu, "I lent the money, so I have to make sure it's spent wisely. Just like my father often goes down to check on the military pay, I have to make sure the money is spent on renovating the house. Only when this money is spent properly can I give the next sum!"
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Wu smiled and added: "Yingying went out holding the umbrella you gave her. She also asked me to tell you that she will not interfere in Cuiyun's affairs anymore. I believe you can convince those guys."
Having spent these days with Zhu Ying day and night, Zhang Shou had to admit that the daughter of a prominent family did have many advantages that were beyond his expectations. However, he still felt a little troubled by Wu's blatant matchmaking. He quickly made an excuse to go to Cuiyun's room, ate his breakfast in a few bites, and then left the house in a dignified manner.
After entering the bamboo forest and seeing the cute panda screen from afar, Zhang Shou realized that someone was waiting there. As soon as he saw him, the person rushed over with a speed that was totally inconsistent with his size. Who else could it be but Lu Sanlang
Before he even stood up, Lu Sanlang began to speak breathlessly: "Young sir, I have something to discuss with you..."
Before Lu Sanlang could finish his words, Zhang Shou interrupted him with a smile: "I have something to tell you too. I didn't originally think of accepting so many people. I planned that most of you would stay for a few days and then go back. Now it seems that no one will return to Beijing for a while. In this case, I'm thinking whether I should renovate this area?"
Lu Sanlang was immediately delighted: "Oh, this is exactly what I thought! Since this was once the place where Master Ge lived in seclusion, he might come back to stay for a few days, so we have to renovate it properly. Don't worry, leave it all to me, everyone will definitely be willing to contribute!"
If they continue to live like this, he and the others will die, truly die of hunger and cold!
Zhang Shou knew without thinking why Lu Sanlang took on this job, but it was a good thing for him to save both trouble and effort, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave this to you. By the way, you should remember that I said in public the day before yesterday that you have a talent for mathematics."
The reason why Lu Sanlang could wait here today was definitely not because other playboys ignored Zhang Shou, the young master, but because... the cunning Lu Sanlang had used all kinds of means to hold all the people back early in the morning, and then he waited here for at least three quarters of an hour! At this moment, he thought that Zhang Shou had seen through his other purpose of waiting, and he was immediately horrified.
