C2 The Eldest Girl in the Ancestor's House

Lu Zheng was famished, how could he have the heart to watch the night scenery of Yangzhou? He was only out to steal food and sacrifice his teeth. He was living in the Zhang Mansion and the food in the kitchen were all low class food.

After Lu Zheng came to Yangzhou, the monthly allowance at the Lu family's side had long since ended, and the monthly allowance at the Zhang family's side was not given to Lu Zheng either. Lu Zheng's current appetite and clothes were all dependent on the 10 taels of silver that Aunt Qi had given Qi Biao.

But seeing that Lu Zheng's condition was improved today, and not only that, compared to before, Lu Zheng's body now had an indescribable feeling. Looking at his appearance, even though he was young, he still had the air of a superior master, and after a serious illness, his body had recovered, and his brain seemed to have opened up.

Under Lu Zheng's instigation, he too drank two taels of scalding knife. As the meat and wine flowed down his throat, he grew more relaxed and depressed: "Third Young Master can no longer live a life like this, my grandmother isn't close and my uncle doesn't feel any pain. He might as well be a young master, living a life worse than those favoured children of my family.

Only Mrs. Yue had given him ten taels of silver from a long journey to Yangzhou. This amount of silver was not even enough for Third Young Master to pay the entrance fee, not to mention adding a few more clothes along with his usual food and clothing. Jiangning Lu Family is a first class Wealthy Class family, they will never let them go. If Third Young Master were to lose face for the Lu family,'s wife will definitely not let him go. "

Qi Biao frowned and sighed. Lu Zheng patted his shoulder and said: "Uncle, what are you doing with your head hanging low? There's a saying that goes' today is the day '.' Come, let's go for another round? '

"Aiyo, my lord!" "You can't drink anymore. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, and if you lose your health after drinking, I'll be ripped off by Mistress Yue with this piece of skin." Qi Biao said hurriedly, not allowing Lu Zheng to drink any more.

The main entrance of the Zhang Mansion consisted of three large doors, red paint at the bottom, and it was extremely impressive. The main entrance was closed at night, leaving only the side entrance for the entrance to enter and exit, the position of the West Corner House that Lu Zheng lived in was near the west gate. Usually, there were not many people in this area, especially at night, it was very quiet.

As Lu Zheng stepped into the western corner entrance, he suddenly turned around and said to Qi Biao: "Uncle, I say the Zhang Family only eat tofu and vegetables, the brown rice is terrible, and they all live in broken walls and broken walls, with houses missing. How is this the home of the richest man? If it was us from the Jiangning, it would only be third-rate or fourth-rate families. It's laughable that those brothers in our family still believe that 'three clear moons in the world, two rogue in Yangzhou' and think that I have come to Yangzhou to enjoy my fortune! "

Qi Biao had burnt his knife into his stomach today, and his feet were swaying unsteadily, as if he was drunk. Hearing Lu Zheng's words, he also had a feeling in his heart that he had long hated the Zhang Family, so he immediately said:

"Third Young Master is right, how can the Yangzhou Mansion compare to our Jiangning? The Jiangning was under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and was directly under his command. I came to Yangzhou for more than a month, and only today's meal was considered food. Ordinary food, if placed in our Jiangning's Lu Manor, would be pig food … "

"Ha ha!" Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Uncle's words are harsh and unkind, perhaps you are anxious to go home. Alright, I will go home and fix a letter for the family, and when our family's grandparents see us suffering here, they will immediately ask us to go back. If we are to come back to Yangzhou when we are beaten to death, not only will we not come, our family's brothers and sisters will not come."

Qi Biao let out a burp. Although he was slightly drunk, his mind was not muddled. When he heard Lu Zheng's words, he could not help but be stunned.

His lips moved as he said, "Third young master, that would be difficult …"

When he said the word "difficult", he smelled a faint fragrance and felt a shadow move before him. Lifting his head, he saw that there were a few girls standing in front of him.

The two little girls were about eleven or twelve years old, each of them had a lantern in her hand, and the big girl in the middle had an impressive aura. She had a slender body, a oval face, and wore a red silk jacket, a blue satin gown, and a white silk dress.

"Aiya!" Qi Biao jumped in shock and broke into a cold sweat. Looking at his clothes, it was obvious that he was not dressed normally,he had the demeanor of a first-rate beauty in Zhang Mansion, she must be either a wife of the Zhang Family or a housewife of Young Master Zhang. He hesitated for a moment and then quickly said: "Greetings, young miss!"

"What a good slave, you snuck out in the middle of the night to steal some wine, and even instigated the master to gossip and cause trouble. Who was in charge of the West Branch right now? Tomorrow, let the Liang Shi Family seal this Western Corner Gate, and let's see if you, a servant, can still be troubled. " From the looks of it, she seemed to be very arrogant and pampered.

On the surface, she was cursing Qi Biao, but her eyes were staring at Lu Zheng.

Qi Biao was scolded to the point that he broke out in a cold sweat. The alcohol had long since woken up and he did not dare to retort.

"Miss doesn't reveal her identity, but I still know about you. This chill of spring, Miss doesn't care about the grass and the dew of flowers, coming to this remote place cold, is it just to punish those servants who stole wine and drank it?" The smell of bird poop became stronger, and they thought that they were in a deserted place, who would have thought that my master and servant would live here, if only we were in their way, it would not be a big deal. It would be a great sin if our master and his servant were to spoil some good thing.

If you don't rush, you will have to report to Second Wife tomorrow, and I will call you Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, do you think this Second Sister-in-law is really here to skin your little uncle? "

"Ahh …"

When Lu Zheng's words came out, the girl was stunned for a moment. Then, her face swelled up into a blush, her entire body trembling in anger.

Her name was Ying Er, she was the older girl in the Zhang Family's old ancestor's room. Today, Hao Geer from the Second Branch was sick, and had a very high fever. Ying Er walked over from the Western Corner Gate, and saw Doctor Liu, who sent medicine to the Yi Pi Tang, come back to fry.

She did not expect to hear Lu Zheng and Qi Biao, both master and servant, spouting nonsense right here at the Western Corner Gate. They said that the Zhang Family ate pig food and lived in a room that was filled with mud, and even said that Yangzhou was not as big as the Jiangning.

She stood out and wanted to teach Lu Zheng and his servant a lesson, but she did not expect Lu Zheng to strike back and not mention a single word he said. Instead, she said that she came to this remote area at night for a different purpose, that a large family like the Zhang Family who was the richest in Yangzhou would surely have a similar thing going on.

However, this was still a shameful matter. If someone were to say such a thing to a girl, how could she keep up with it? Ying Er immediately blew up:

"You … You. Nonsense, you. "You …"

"What did I say? Why is he spouting nonsense? Girl, you better make it clear today. What did I just say that was nonsense? If you are clear, you and I will talk to the Second Sister-in-law tomorrow. Lu Zheng said.

Ying Er was even more dumbstruck. She carefully savoured Lu Zheng's words just now, and what he said seemed to be true, insinuating that it was incomprehensible. Lu Zheng's meaning was indeed the same, but if she were to carefully paraphrase his words, she would realize that Lu Zheng really did not say anything.

Ying Er was a girl, she could not possibly have to read Lu Zheng's words in that direction. Wasn't it slandering her with dirty water and dog shit?

"Alright, since you're so silly, I won't pursue your stupid matter any further. Just tell me your name." What is the purpose of entering and exiting the Western Corner City at such a late hour? " Lu Zheng said.

"I... My name is Ying Er, today Hao Geer is sick, the old lady sent me to Yi Pi Tang to deliver the medicine …. " Ying Er's face was red as she explained everything that had happened between her and the west gate. Looking at her face, it was impossible for his to have the arrogance he had just now. After explaining it clearly, he was afraid that Lu Zheng would not believe her, so he added, "Yi Pi Tang is on the west street.

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "I won't be leaving. Since you are here to retrieve the medicine, can you delay me any longer?" Hao Geer is the flesh of the old ladies and their hearts, if he has any mishaps, then when my grandma finds out that you took the medicine and was delayed by me for so long, I'm afraid she would skin you alive, right?

"Go, go! "Oh my god, don't let things go wrong!"

Lu Zheng waved at Ying Er, then said to Qi Biao, "Uncle, let's go home too. We've finally had our fill today, so as long as it doesn't rain tonight, we should be able to have a good night's sleep!"

Lu Zheng led Qi Biao and swaggered into the West Corner House, but Ying Er was still in a daze.

After a while, she came back to her senses, but the two little girls were laughing. Ying Er stared at them and said: "You two little hooves, what are you laughing at?"

"Sister Ying Er, are you convinced by the Lu family's young master's elegance? "The usual glib tongue isn't useful at all. If the sisters in the room were to find out about this, they'd definitely laugh!"

"Whoever dares to talk nonsense, I'll cut off their tongue!" Ying Er said angrily, but she immediately changed her expression into a bitter one, and said: My two dear sisters, you cannot speak carelessly about this matter, it is not a big deal to ruin my name, but you heard what the young masters of the Lu family said, which is heard by the old masters and wives, that would cause the sky to shatter, what do you think?

The two little girls were only eleven or twelve years old, and did not have much to do. Hearing Ying Er's solemn words, they did not dare act rashly, and immediately nodded their heads.

After taking care of the two little girls, Ying Er couldn't help but jump into their trap after returning to the old lady's residence.

Originally, she was the one who went to pick on Lu Zheng's fault. Later on, it was Lu Zheng who let her off. Didn't everyone say that this young master of the Lu Family was a fool? Was there really such a thing as a cunning fool in this world?
