Chapter 525 She Knows

Also, why was it that it was just an ancient painting, but in the end, three unrelated people came to see it with her?
Meng Shisan thought about it and couldn't help but glance at the people who were annoying him.

Including the descendants of Brother Lu who invited Cui Yu.

Lu Luo and Meng Shisan had an argument and a fight, and blood was shed. Although the person who shed blood was his lackey, not himself, he had seen blood after all.

Even so, he would often take the initiative to talk to Meng Shisan later on. His shamelessness was such that even a single dissatisfied glance from Meng Shisan would not dissuade him from doing so.

Zeng Chongqi's situation was even simpler. He kept looking back and forth between Lu Luo and Cui Yu. The cautious and vigilant look in his eyes made his eyes very busy at the moment, and he had no time to pay attention to Meng Shisan behind him. So he glanced at Meng Shisan with dissatisfaction, but he didn't feel anything at all.

Cui Yu was standing right opposite Meng Shisan, who was the most dissatisfied with him. The glance he gave him was filled with strong annoyance, which he felt directly. However, since he had made up his mind to follow him, there was no way he would be repelled by Meng Shisan's glance.

Finally, it was Lu Man. He felt it, and was indeed frightened by the dissatisfaction in Meng Shisan's eyes, and his legs almost went weak on the spot. Fortunately, he managed to hold on.

"Hmph!" Meng Shisan felt that if she lost her temper in public and refused to let those annoying people follow her, she probably could prevent them from following her.

But with their abilities, even if she didn't let the three of them go openly to see the ancestral ancient paintings that Brother Lu's descendants mentioned, they could still follow secretly by showing off their skills.

There was no way to stop them from following.

Simply that.

Follow along.

If you follow her openly and really make her angry, she doesn't have to be polite. She has the Silver Fox with her anyway, and if she really doesn't like someone, she can let the Silver Fox pounce on him and bite him.

As if sensing its master's heart, the silver fox raised its head and revealed the sharp teeth in its mouth.

Meng Shisan was very satisfied and smiled faintly at Silver Fox.

Her smile, coupled with the prelude of the silver fox raising its head and showing its teeth, frightened everyone.

Zeng Chongqi turned around and defended head-on, Lu Man stood still and couldn't move, Lu Luo quietly took a step back, and Cui Yu took three steps back without looking around.

The customers in the store quickly turned their heads away from watching the fun, leaving their ears perked up to listen to what was happening next.

The progress was no surprise.

No one withdrew. Although they were afraid, they did not retreat. A group of more than ten people, including the master and his servants, went straight to Luman's house.

Lu Man’s house is in Wenguangfang, which is neither far nor close to Jifei Street. It takes more than a quarter of an hour to walk there. It is a two-story house.

There is a plaque hanging on it - Lu House.

Meng Shisan stood outside the gate, looked up at the words "Lu's House", and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The words "Lu's House" were also written by her at the request of Brother Lu. After so many years, if she hadn't seen it again, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.

At first, she even forgot about Brother Lu.

The main thing was that when she met Brother Lu, it was just a chance encounter and they spent very little time together, so little that she didn't take it to heart at all.

A hundred years later, she had forgotten this trivial matter.

Cui Yu, Lu Luo and Zeng Chongqi saw Meng Shisan standing outside the gate of Lu's house with an expression as if he was recalling something from the past, which made them all have many guesses in their minds.

Lu Luo couldn't help but turned around and asked Lu Man: "What is this plaque..."

Lu Man knew what Lu Luo wanted to ask: "The two characters 'Lu's House' and the four characters 'Lu's Noodles' on this plaque were all personally given to my Lu family's ancestor by a noble person he met by chance!"

He answered with pride.

Meng Shisan came back to her senses and looked at the pride on Lu Man's face. She suddenly felt a little weak. Not only did her ancestors remember her, but even Lu's descendants a hundred years later still remembered her. However, she turned around a hundred years ago and forgot about Lu.

After seeing the words "Lu's House" again, she thought she knew what ancient painting Lu Man was talking about: "Master Lu, please lead the way."

“Hey hey!” Lu Man took two quick steps and made a gesture of invitation in front of him, “Miss Meng, please come in. The three gentlemen, please come in.”

Although Lu's house has two entrances, the ancient paintings that were to be shown to Meng Shisan were collected in the study in the front yard.

Lu Man explained as he walked: "According to my father, this ancient painting left by our ancestors was originally placed in the study room of the main house in the main courtyard. Later, before our ancestors passed away, they felt that they would not live long, so they ordered that the ancient painting be moved to a two-story attic in the front yard. The attic faces a small lake. It was placed on the second floor of the attic for decades, almost half a century. However, the attic fell into disrepair and collapsed in the middle of the night during a storm."

"Collapsed?" Meng Shisan thought that the ancient painting was still there, so it must have been damaged a lot.

Lu Man said with a heavy face, "Yes, that collapse smashed the ancient painting directly inside. Fortunately, when the Lu family heard the commotion in the front yard attic, all the men and women rushed out. They found the wooden box containing the ancient painting from the piles of bricks, stones, soil and sand after the wind and rain passed and the sky cleared. "

"Not damaged?" Zeng Chongqi felt that it was impossible. Just by listening to Lu Man's description, he knew that the storm must have been quite strong. Although the attic was old, it was still an attic after all. It could have been blown down after years of disrepair. The ancient painting, which was only protected by a wooden box, must have been damaged a lot.

"It was broken, and the damage was very serious." Lu Man, who just turned 40 this year, was born after the entire attic collapsed. His birthday was at the end of that year. "The wooden box was deformed, and the ancient painting inside was also deformed. After that, my grandfather and uncles, together with my father and uncles, went back and forth to find many masters, and after several years, they finally repaired and filled the damaged ancient painting."

Cui Yu lamented, “No matter how perfect it is, after repairs and fillings, it will be very different from the original.”

Lu Man also sighed: "Yes, it's a pity. Back then, the ancestors of the Lu family were heartbroken and regretful. They said that no matter how difficult it was, they should have renovated the attic long ago."

"Lu Xiao...your ancestors had a recipe for ingredients, and the Lu family's noodle business was booming, so why is it still just a small shop?" What Meng Shisan actually wanted to say was that with the recipe for ingredients she gave to Brother Lu, Brother Lu could have made a lot of money just by opening a noodle shop. How come Lu Man's ancestors couldn't even come up with the money to renovate the attic?
Cui Yu, Lu Luo and Zeng Chongqi who were traveling with them also had this question.

Everyone looked at Luman.

Lu Man explained: "It's because our ancestors set up a family rule long ago, saying that no matter how difficult it is, we must not sell the ancestral shop, let alone the ancestral recipes. Anyone who dares to sell it will be removed from the Lu family genealogy and will no longer be a descendant of the Lu family."
