Red apricots make spring

Chapter 230
When Lu Ce rushed home from He Lin, Xizhu had already returned. He said that he had found a quiet house in the east of the city. Although the house was not big, it was large enough to accommodate a dozen people. The rather large front and back yards, especially the back yard, are shaded by trees and clustered with flowers and plants. Naturally, they are not comparable to the Lu family's mansion, but the layout is rare in small houses. The original owner is in urgent need of money, and the resale price is not high, so Even if you decide to be gentle.

Lu Ce nodded and said, "You did a good job on this matter, what about the deed? Did you get it?"

Xi Zhu smiled and said: "Master, don't mention the deed soon, just ask a middleman to be a surety, sign and resell the documents. When I got the deed, I got a glimpse of something from it. I have already sent someone to inquire about it. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing." .”

"What's going on?" Lu Ce stopped walking towards Wutong Pavilion.

"The document was signed by the housekeeper sent by the original owner. The housekeeper had a weird expression when he saw his wife..."

"What?" Lu Ce looked at Xizhu in a blink of an eye.

Xi Zhu pondered and said: "I can't tell, it's probably the kind of old acquaintances who meet but dare not recognize each other."

"Go on," Lu Ce urged.

"Madam obviously didn't recognize him, and he spoke freely, so the strange look on the man's face was only fleeting. I thought he had recognized the wrong person, so he didn't care. But when Madam signed the paperwork, the man caught a glimpse of Madam's face. Name and surname, and his complexion changed drastically again, and then I became suspicious, thinking that he must have admitted the wrong person."

"The madam went out in men's clothing, maybe the man was surprised when he saw the woman's name."

"Master, you were not there, and you didn't see that person's expression. It doesn't seem like you're surprised..." Xizhu continued: "Madam also found that the person's expression was wrong, but I can't remember where I saw this person, so I turned around and came out. Then let me investigate, and I sent someone to investigate."

"Hmm." Lu Ce nodded and said, "If you find anything, please let us know."

Xizhu agreed, and followed Lu Ce for a while, and when they arrived at the Wutong Pavilion, the maid said that Wen Rou was not there, so she made two meals and went to greet the master and the old master.Lu Ce had no choice but to go around again, stood in the garden and thought for a while, then stopped.

"Master, where do we go?" Xi Zhu looked at Lin Meng, the path leading to Lu Fenglin's study on the left, and then at the gorgeous flowers leading to Lu Chenzhou's yard on the right, and felt that this question was quite embarrassing.Not only Lu Ce, but even he was reluctant to see Lu Fenglin's always tense and serious face.Although Lu Fenglin would sometimes appear amiable when Lu Ce was not present, but those moments were rare after all, not to mention Lu Fenglin couldn't help scolding Lu Ce when he saw Lu Ce, it's best not to touch this bad luck.

"Go to the old man." Lu Ce chose the path and took the lead.He knew very well that his father was an unsmiling person, even if Wen Rou went to pay his respects, he would be dismissed for at most a few gossips, and now he has been delayed for a while, so it must be at his grandfather's place.

"En." Xi Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed.Sometimes he would secretly ponder in his heart, Lu Ce doesn't like to talk and smile, he always has an iceberg face, maybe he was infected by Lu Fenglin.However, Lu Ce's cold face is just indifferent by nature, which makes people feel that he is not easy to get close to. After getting along for a long time, I know that he has a good temper, and since he has gentleness, the smile on Lu Ce's face is more than before. Lu Fenglin is always so dull and serious, which makes people who get along with him pull the heartstrings, and they can't always relax.

The two walked all the way to Tingtaoxuan, where Lu Chenzhou lived, and as soon as they entered, they saw Lu Chenzhou holding a wine glass in his hand, sitting on a wicker chair with thick cushions, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun.In front of him was a small table, on which was a red lacquer box and a green lotus petal pot, in the box were some dried fruits and a few side dishes, and the gentle man sitting next to him He is sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand, and is reading.

"The villain saw a rough road, so he rescued him. Unexpectedly, God has eyes, and the one he rescued was my benefactor. It was a coincidence..." Wen Wen was halfway through reading, when she sensed someone coming in, she looked up in a daze. Looking at it, he saw that it was Lu Ce, holding the book unconsciously, and became speechless for a moment.

Lu Ce was secretly surprised when he saw Wen Rou in a daze, she was sitting here studying, and Lu Chenzhou liked her very much, so it was impossible to make things difficult for her, why did she show such a dazed look?

"Hey, why don't you read it? Are you tired? Drink some tea to moisturize..." Lu Chenzhou almost fell asleep when he listened to Gentle reading. He opened his eyes and found Lu Ce standing beside him. He couldn't help laughing and said: " Just when you heard the key point, you ran to interrupt. Why, you missed it after a while? Go, go, go about your business, keep Rou'er to talk to the old man, and you can go find her again at night. "

Lu Chenzhou spoke directly, but Lu Ce didn't feel any embarrassment, but Xizhu felt that he was a little embarrassed to be here. He quietly took a few steps back and slipped outside the door, so as not to hinder their family's conversation.

"Grandson has nothing to do, so it's not good to talk with him?" Lu Ce said with a smile, "If grandpa really wants to drive me away, then I will leave..."

He said, making a gesture to leave.When Lu Chenzhou saw it, he hurriedly called him back, let him sit beside him, pointed to the box in front of him like offering a treasure, and said, "Rou'er has made some dishes for drinking, you can try them."

It is strange to say that the older you are, the more you look like a child. Seeing Lu Chenzhou's appearance, Wenrou couldn't help but lose her happiness and also smiled. She put down the book in her hand and stood up and said, "I'll add a pair of chopsticks."

After she took the chopsticks, Lu Ce took a taste of the food and said in a deep thought, "This dish..."

"How about it, does it taste like meat?" Lu Chenzhou looked like a child waiting to be praised.

Lu Ce nodded, and asked, "Isn't it meat?" He picked up a chopstick and looked carefully, but just looking at the shape of the dish, it also looked like meat, and there was no trace of a vegetarian dish at all.

Rourou laughed beside him and said: "It's not meat. These are all vegetarian dishes. I just made them according to the taste of meat dishes. If you don't taste them carefully, you can't tell them apart. It's just that there is less oil and water. Grandpa is not used to eating them, so it's easy to turn around." Hungry."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, eat when you're hungry!" Lu Chenzhou said with a smile to Lu Ce: "Your father forces me to be a vegetarian all day long, and the cooking at home is bland, which makes my mouth tasteless all day long. If I don't Rou'er, I'm afraid the old man is not far from death! Hmph, he died of starvation!"

Having said that, Wen Rou felt a little sympathetic to Lu Fenglin, he was really doing it for Lu Chenzhou's health, but unfortunately, his filial piety was not accepted, and he often had to be wronged.but……

When Wen Rou saw Lu Chenzhou sitting on the rattan chair with a peaceful mind, accepting Lu Ce's kind words of comfort with a comfortable smile, he suddenly felt that the reason for his awkwardness was actually very simple, just like a child, he needed to do something The out-of-the-ordinary behavior attracts people's attention, makes people care, and makes them laugh again.

At this moment, Lu Ce was calling the maidservant who served Lu Chenzhou, handed her the prescription prescribed by He Lin, explained the method of decoction, and asked her to watch Lu Chenzhou take the medicine every day.

Lu Chenzhou muttered impatiently: "Don't take it, such a bitter medicine..."

Lu Ce ignored him, and only told the maidservant: "If the old man refuses to take the medicine one day, you can come and tell me."

Just as Lu Chenzhou was about to object, he heard Wen Rou say aside: "I'll make two kinds of candied fruit and send them over later, so I can enjoy it while taking medicine, so I won't feel bitter."

Lu Chenzhou liked tenderness very much, he was embarrassed to even object to her words, so he just snorted softly and fell silent.

After explaining about the medicine, Lu Ce caught a glimpse of the book that Rourou put on the small table, he couldn't help but took it and turned over two pages, staring at the familiar elegant handwriting, he said with a little regret, "This book...is still My grandmother left it, and I haven't looked through it for many years."

When he said this, the sadness of nostalgia appeared on Lu Chenzhou's face. He stared at the book and sighed: "I am afraid that it will be eaten by moths after a long time, so I often take it out and turn it in the sun. But old man My eyesight is gone, I can’t even read the words clearly, so I have to ask Rou’er to read to the old man.” As he spoke, the sadness on his face turned into a touch of sweetness again, and he said in a slow tone: “Qi’er’s mind is broken. There are always some weird ideas in the book, and the stories told are the most interesting. Fortunately, the old man saw her often idle, so he asked her to record all these stories, or read them today. It's not here..."

Both grandparents and grandchildren were thinking about Luo Qi's situation before his death. The atmosphere became warm and sentimental for a while, and the gentleness slowed down. Seeing that their emotions calmed down a little, they smiled and said: "This is an interesting book, and I just happen to be idle. Nothing. Grandpa, can I borrow a few books written by grandma from you and go back and read them?"

"Success!" Lu Chenzhou nodded and said, "These writings are meant to be read by people. I don't lend them to others because I'm afraid they will damage them, but you can read them. I don't worry." Said Then, he pointed to a small room next to the bedroom and said: "Qi'er's things are stored there, let Ce'er take you to pick them out!"

"Hey!" Rourou thanked Lu Chenzhou, and couldn't wait to pull Lu Ce to the hut over there.
