C24 Step by Step Shock!

Chapter XXIV

Lu Zheng descended the mountain leisurely, his steps light and unrestrained.

Everyone on the mountain, including Zhang Chengdong, were green in the face, especially Liang Shi and Cui Da, they wanted to squash all the servants to death, but there were some things that could not be said on the stage, and that feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

"Sigh, Pongo, what do you want to know about the future? Tomorrow, go to the West Corner House and look for me. That monkey will not only make trouble for Dark Asura Hall, but also the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Hall!" Lu Zheng suddenly turned his head and waved at Liu Song.

Liu Song was confused, how could he have known that the events of today were going to take place in such a roundabout way?

His personality was rash and irritable, but he had his own way of doing things. Today, listening to Lu Zheng talk about the monkey had made him feel good. His hostility towards Lu Zheng had long since faded and his mind was still thinking about the monkey's head.

Hearing Lu Zheng's words, he hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll bring some snacks tomorrow. Let's chat for a bit more!"

Liu Wan looked at Liu Song, then glanced at Lu Zheng with a weird expression. In her heart she thought: Lu Jia Zheng Ge'er is younger than Song'er, but their wisdom is completely different, it's a pity for him to have the identity of a bastard son, otherwise ….

She thought like this as she quietly looked around. Seeing the expressions of Hua Hanyun, Eldest Grandma and the rest, she suddenly felt at ease.

Liang Shi, this servant, was thinking of making use of Song'er to show his face to the old master.

No one spoke a word. With Zhang Chengdong here, who would dare to speak?

After an unknown period of time, Zhang Chengdong slowly sat on the purple vine chair that the little girl had placed down, and muttered: "The Lu family has Lin'er!"

A simple sentence caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

Cui Da and Liang Shi looked at each other, not knowing what the old master meant, while Madam Gu lowered her head in tears. Everyone then thought about the two sons of the concubine, Zhang Qiang, who had died young, Zhang Jing, who did not accomplish anything, and furthermore, up until now, the two elders had not hugged their grandchildren yet!

Liang Shi observed his situation and quickly came over: "Old master, this servant deserved to die, for being incompetent!"

Zhang Chengdong waved his hand, looked at Hua Hanyun, and said: "Hanyun, West Corner House's monthly expenses must not be low!"

Hua Hanyun didn't know what this eunuch meant by those words that came out of her mouth, so she hurriedly replied, "They are all based on what this brother wants to spend on a month's worth of our money!"

Zhang Chengdong said: "Alright! Go down the mountain and don't spout nonsense about what happened today. Huan'er, don't trouble yourself with these things in the future. My Zhang Family of Yangzhou has so many big things to do! "

After Zhang Chengdong finished speaking, he waved his long sleeves, stood up, and floated down the mountain.

Zhang Chengdong had left, but the rest were still drinking on the mountain?

It was a pity that Hua Hanyun had made so many preparations, and that Liang Shi had arranged so many servants and maids, hoping to give his family a boost.

Now, Liang Shi had made a huge detour and received an evaluation from the Master, "The Lu family has Lin'er!", if it was the first half of the couplet, then what would the second half be like?

The second half of the couplet would probably be against "Zhang Men's Idiot!"

Until now, Liang Shi still did not understand why those people that he had specially selected were confused. What method did Lu Zheng use, could it be that he had given Liu Song and the rest some bewitching soup?

… ….

The commotion in Scenic Mountain passed.

Since that day, West Corner House had become very lively. Lu Zheng and Liu Song had become sworn brothers and he would come to West Corner House every afternoon.

Every day, Lu Zheng would lecture on "Journey to the West". The story was simply too fascinating. All the girls, servants, and even gardeners in the West District would become addicted to it if they overheard it once in a while. The West Corner House was getting more and more lively because of this. Other than the Liang Shi family, the other Zhang family West Garden girls, wives, and servants were liking Lu Zheng more and more.

The brothers of the Lu family were amiable, they did not have any airs, their books were nice to read, and they were generous. The servants were bitter people, but the brothers of the Lu family were excluded by their grandaunt in Jiangning, their lives were difficult, why would the servants make things difficult for him?

"Master San, Eldest Grandma has sent us another rose cake! It's still warm. Do you want to eat while it's hot? " Si Qi carried the small basket and playfully placed it in front of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng lightly waved his hand and said, "Don't be noisy, Ying Er is writing!"

"Go, send uncle a few!"

Si Qi said: "Qi Daye just went out, perhaps he went to the Scenic Mountain!"

Lu Zheng frowned and nodded his head lightly, saying, "Then let him go. Uncle must not starve him since he is in a hurry to practice martial arts before he is well. Oh right, you guys should eat too. Have a taste of your Eldest Grandma's cooking skills! "

Because of Liu Song, the communication between West Corner House and himself became more frequent.

On Lu Zheng's side, Si Qi, Ying Er and the other girls would often go to Orange Country, while Qiu Yue, Gui Hua and the other girls would always come, naturally for the story.

Liu Wan knew that it would be inconvenient for him to come due to her identity, so she would record down Lu Zheng's story every single day. She would first send it to Liu Wan to see, then bring it back and place it into the bookcase that Lu Zheng had specially prepared.

Lu Zheng had once had the thought of reviving Journey to the West, but he quickly rejected it.

Because it was difficult for him to recite the story, he knew all the stories but it was difficult to reconstruct the text. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Zheng did not want to waste his precious time on this matter.

He did not expect that because of his confrontation with Liu Song, this thing would still be able to save his life under such circumstances.

Now that the situation was difficult, it would be unrealistic for Lu Zheng to get rid of the Zhang Family's control within a short period of time. Even if he wanted to obtain a better opportunity, it would not be realistic. The only thing he could do was to open up a new front and create a new path, slowly plotting against it.

As the curtain of night gradually fell, Ying Er finished calligraphy. She rested her chin on her hands as she looked dazedly at the hairpin which she had just finished writing, and muttered:

"How did San Ye know all this weird stuff?" Could it be that the Flowerfruit Mountain is really near the Jiangning? "

"What kind of place is the Jiangning? Is there any chance for Ying Er to go to Jiangning in her lifetime? "

The young girl's mind was filled with vigor, and when the lanterns were lit, it added to her melancholy.

"Lord San's situation is so terrible, all the things that the Eldest Grandma has said are extremely dangerous, just thinking about it makes you shiver!" Ying Er thought to herself. She and Liu Wan talked everyday.

Liu Wan was a kind-hearted person. Ever since the incident with the Fortune Restaurant, she had become very clear about Lu Zheng's situation.

The Zhang Family would definitely not tolerate Lu Zheng, when the inner chamber woman's plan failed, she turned back to look at Liang Shi, who was by the Great Master's side and unleashed a ruthless move. Thinking of the Scenic Mountain's matter, Liu Wan's heart jumped, but Lu Zheng successfully resolved it.

However, this sort of thing could be avoided in the first semester, but how could it be avoided in the fifteenth?

After all, Lu Zheng was only one person, moreover, he was still young and had no relatives in Yangzhou. When Liu Wan thought about Lu Zheng's days, she felt that it was difficult!

Ying Er had been a big girl by the old lady's side before, and was a person with good intentions. After Liu Wan had spoke a few words with her, she couldn't help but ask everything she knew.

San Ye was living on the edge of a knife!

However, every time Ying Er came back from Eldest Grandma's house and saw Lu Zheng, she could not say a single word, even though she had a lot of words in her heart.

Lu Zheng was always so calm and confident, always so steady and unmoving, as if he could see everything clearly and everything was within his grasp. In any case, from Ying Er's perspective, Lu Zheng made her feel especially at ease.

"If I could exchange this life of mine in exchange for the wives and grandmothers being nice to San Ye, it would have been worth it!" Ying Er thought foolishly in her heart.

She thought for a while, and her mood darkened again, "What's my life worth? In the eyes of the old ladies and mistresses, she's just a little girl with a life as thin as a piece of paper. Even though the young lady is close to me, she's only a woman after all.

As Ying Er thought about this, she looked at the writing on her hairpin, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

Lu Zheng looked at the girl from behind, his delicate body, a oval shaped face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, her skin as smooth as cream. Under the dim light, her gentle and amiable expression caused others to feel warm and peaceful, unconsciously feeling pity for her.

"No wonder Hao Geer can't forget about Ying Er. This girl is really fascinating!" She reached out her hand and gently patted Ying Er's shoulder.

"Ahh …"

Ying Er turned pale with fright, she sprung up like a spring and when she turned her head to look at Lu Zheng, her face immediately flushed red, as she said:

"Master San, you … You scared me! "

"What are you thinking? I think you're getting silly from thinking about it! "

Ying Er covered her eyes and said, "No, I just think that Master San's story is good. That Sun Wukong, with his own power, went to the Dragon Palace in the East Sea and caused chaos in the Sen Luo Temple. He was able to do anything but escape the five fingered mountain of Buddha."

Lu Zheng gave a faint smile and said, "I'm afraid it's not only that. I see that you were having a nightmare last night!"

Ying Er glanced at Lu Zheng, her face turning even redder. She felt embarrassed when she thought about how she had woken up in the middle of the night and how Lu Zheng was still standing at the head of the bed.

She was the big girl in Lu Zheng's room, and the big girl in Hao Geer's room, Qing Yao, was already sleeping with her!

When Ying Er thought about this, she could not help but think in her heart: "Zheng Geer did not let the waiter service me this entire time, could it be that I find the likes of Si Qi and Speak Mei to be weird? Or do you still think that I'm someone close to Old Mrs. Zhang and can't be his close relative? "

She was lost in her thoughts, but Lu Zheng did not think too much into it. He picked up the manuscript that Ying Er had just finished and carefully admired her hairpin, his mind filled with innumerable thoughts.

He had no relatives in Yangzhou, and he was on his own. Gu Zhilun was a rare person, and the only one he could possibly grasp at the moment!
