Red apricots make spring

Chapter 240 Market rumors
Even though she was tired all day, Wen Rou still got some energy in the evening, and cooked the steamed rice with Japonica rice, and made a few more dishes.Shrimp balls in soup, rice-flavored meat, emerald snails, dry-pot lamb haggis, crispy goose intestines, and a few large plates of fresh vegetables, and a bowl of clear and fragrant clear bamboo shoot soup.

At dinner, Wen Gang came to the world like an evil ghost, he ate so ferociously that he swallowed three big bowls of rice like a storm.Mother Wen saw that he was still not full and wanted to fill the fourth bowl of rice, so she hurriedly covered his bowl, and said in panic: "If you eat any more, you will be overwhelmed!"

Wen Gang reluctantly glanced at the dishes on the table, and sighed: "The dishes made by my sister are still delicious."

"Don't flatter!" Rourou paused her chopsticks and said with a smile: "I personally trained the chefs in the restaurant in Yunzhou City. Even if the taste is slightly different, it is not inferior."

"Don't mention it, during the days when you disappeared, everyone was in a panic, and everything they ate tasted like nothing." Wen Gang said, leaning towards Wenrou with a shy face, and said, "Sister, I will cook some special dishes tomorrow. Ok?"

"You are so beautiful!" Rourou stretched out her fingers and poked Wen Gang's forehead fiercely, Ruode Xiaohuan lowered her head and snickered.

Mother Wen pushed him and said: "After eating, go to study. You are almost married and start a business, and you are so immature! If you can be half as capable as my uncle, your mother will not have to worry about it for the rest of her life!"

Gentle and funny, she glanced at Mother Wen, said nothing, and continued to eat with her head down.

Lu Ce put down his job and said calmly, "I'm full, I'll go back home first."

"It's getting dark, why don't you stay here for one night?" Rourou quickly kept him.In the past two days, the two of them really didn't have much time to talk. Although they met every day, they still felt missing for some reason.

Under the table, Lu Ce reached out and grabbed Gentle's hand, held it tightly for a moment, then let go, and said with a faint smile, "I still have some things to do when I go back, and besides, you haven't freed up here to clean up, I'm afraid at night. If you want to sleep together, I won't add trouble here."

It's not that he didn't want to stay for a while longer, it's just that he realized at this moment that in front of so many people, the feeling of being able to see but not touch, and not being able to say something close to himself is really uncomfortable.

Lu Ce bid farewell and went home, just entered the room and changed into plain clothes, then followed him after washing bamboo, talking about Qing Ru.

"At first she was reluctant to leave the mansion, saying that she would stay and serve the master, but then somehow she figured it out and agreed to go out and learn some accounting skills. As for the matter of matching, she said she had to make up her own mind. Only those who love you can marry, if you don’t meet them, you’d rather die alone..."

Lu Ce nodded and said, "Do as she says."

"Then, Qingru has been in the mansion for almost five years, how can I get rid of her uncle's house asking for someone later?" This was originally a trivial matter, but since Lu Ce intervened, Xi Zhu felt that it was better to ask. He has a good idea.

"Silver." Lu Ce said concisely, walking to the desk and slowly grinding the ink.

Xi Zhu agreed, hesitated for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally just took the ink ingot from Lu Ce's hand, and ground the ink for him.

"What else is there?" Lu Ce said with a faint smile, "How come you have learned this kind of hesitation recently."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of spoiling my master's mood..." Xi Zhu followed with a smile.

"Huh? Bad news?" Lu Ce looked up at him.

Xi Zhu frowned and said: "You can't say that..."

"What exactly is it, tell the truth." Lu Ce picked up his pen and looked at the familiar sheet in front of him for a while.

"During the dinner, the master lost his temper and scolded the cook. Young master Shen followed suit. There was also the old master, who refused to eat and clamored to find his wife, saying that the master must have hidden it..." Xi Zhu With a face full of grievances, he said: "I explained to the old man, he said that I was your confidant, and he couldn't believe what he said! Master, did you report the matter of leaving the house for your wife today?"

The pen that Lu Cefang was about to drop suddenly stopped in mid-air, and he was silent for a moment and said, "Forgot."

"Ah, forgot?" Xi Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn't because he was boasting. After following Lu Ce for so many years, no matter how tired or busy he was, he never saw him forget anything. Why now, just This little thing, he forgot?
"Well, I forgot." Lu Ce responded as a matter of course, the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if the matter should have been handled this way, but Jiao Xizhu became suspicious, secretly guessing whether he had other plans in mind.

"I'll report this matter tomorrow. If there's nothing else to do, go and rest first."

"Yes." Xi Zhu agreed, rubbed his nose wonderingly, and closed the door for Lu Ce when he went out.

Seeing that Xizhu retreated, Lu Ce shook his head and muttered to himself, "I forgot..."

After speaking, he calmed down his breathing, set aside the clutter in his heart, and sketched it on the paper. In just one stick of incense, a small photo of the line drawing appeared vividly on the paper.I saw the person in the painting lowered his brows and eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, showing a gentle appearance.She does not have a rich and gaudy Ming Yan, nor a tactful coquettishness, but only a kind of beauty like the lingering fragrance of tea, which is light but memorable.

Time flies, and there are more than three months in a flash.

It is widely rumored in Kyoto that the dragon body of the emperor was cured by a miracle doctor, and his serious illness gradually recovered, but who is sitting in the dragon court in this world is not a matter of concern to the people living in a stable world. For them, the emperor is just a high-ranking , a mortal real dragon who cannot be seen by the secular people and offended.Dragons beget dragons, dragons pass on dragons, and the emperor returns to heaven anyway, so there will naturally be a dragon to take over. As long as there is a bowl of stable food to eat, there is nothing else to ask for.However, gossip and gossip have been loved by everyone since ancient times. Recently, the people in Kyoto are talking about nothing more than the immeasurable virtues of the emperor after he recovered from his illness.

For the people in Kyoto, the marriage bestowed by the emperor is actually nothing new, but this time the two couples who were given the marriage have very different identities, which makes everyone spread it and talk about it.

These two couples are naturally Lu Ce and Wen Wen, Shen Mengan and Princess Anning.However, in the rumors on the street, Ruan Wen and Shen Mengan are not the protagonists. The protagonists are Lu Ce, who caused a stir in the capital because of his infatuation, and Princess An Ning, who was spoiled by the emperor to the point of lawlessness and behaved extraordinarily domineering.

"There's something strange about this! I'm confused. Isn't this General Lu's grandson, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen? Even the princess didn't want to admit it, and she offended His Majesty because of it. How did it end up? He married a commoner woman?"

"Who knows about these officials and big families? It is said that marriage needs to be of a right family, but what kind of right is this general to the common people?"

"Hey, I heard that this commoner girl is stunning! Back then, even the Holy Majesty fell in love with her, and wanted to bring her into the palace as a concubine!"

"Nonsense! Can the person in the prime minister's favor be handed over to his courtiers? Besides, the grandson of General Lu has been dismissed long ago. Apart from being noble, he is not just like us, he is also a commoner!"

"If you ask me, this is very interesting. Think about it, the Holy One originally wanted to match General Lu's grandson and Princess Anning into a pair, but General Lu's grandson would rather die than Princess Aning for the daughter of Prime Minister Shen. In the end, Princess Anning and Prime Minister Shen's young master were paired together, what a twist of luck!"

"What about the general and the prime minister, the young master and the princess, I am so confused by you! Pick up the important ones, don't just play lip service."

"Is it important?" The speaker smiled wretchedly, "I heard that Prime Minister Shen's young master is a well-known romantic and a frequent visitor to the brothels in Goulan."

"Then wouldn't it be bad for him to accept the princess? He can't even accept a concubine."

"Besides, this princess is a famous pungent..." The agreeable person woke up from An Ning's identity and stopped in time.

The rest of the people sighed in unison: "It's miserable! He is miserable this time!"

The discussions of these traffickers and pawns spread to the ears of the gentle men dressed in men's clothes sitting in a secluded corner of the teahouse, causing her to lower her head and grin, and looked up narrowly at Lu Ce who was sitting opposite her, and said with a smile: "Submin Lu, you handed over the princess to someone else, do you regret it?"

"How could it be?" Lu Ce said with a faint smile, "I wish Princess An Ning and Meng An could get married as soon as possible."

Rourou originally wanted to tease Lu Ce, but unexpectedly she was teased instead, a thin blush suddenly appeared on her face, she lowered her head and pretended to drink tea, and complained after a while: "My lord, why do you think that every shot is just one shot? Make that kind of decree!" She was really speechless, before the official decree of marriage came down, she never thought that the old emperor would let the two couples get married on the same day!
"Perhaps I think it's more lively to do it this way." Lu Ce then thought that it would take half a year for Princess Anning to get married, and it's only been three months now, so she immediately pursed her lips, showing displeasure on her face.

Wen Rou naturally understood what he was thinking in his heart, bowed his head and smiled, dipped his hand in tea and scribbled on the table.

Lu Ce didn't pay attention, and looked up at the sky outside. It was already noon, and he stood up and said, "I promised my grandfather that I will go back to eat. It's getting late, let's go."

"Okay." She finished writing the last stroke with a gentle smile, and stood up.

"Dude, take the money." Lu Ce raised his voice and put the money on the table. When he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Rourou's handwriting on the table with tea. After a slight pause, he held Rourou's hand behind his back.

"Let go..." Wen Rou was slightly embarrassed, she hadn't forgotten that she was wearing men's clothing, if two big men were walking down the street dragging their hands, what would they look like?
"Don't let go." Lu Ce smiled slightly, and held her hand even tighter, not caring about the strange eyes of others in the teahouse.

Wenrou couldn't break free, she simply accepted her fate, let him lead her with a calm face, and walked outside.
