C25 How Beneficial the World Is!

The spring had already passed and it was already the beginning of summer. It had just rained, and the vegetation on both sides of the Xincheng River was verdant. The rising water level submerged the sand on both sides of the river.

Lu Zheng brought Ying Er, with Qi Biao accompanying them, to Hengwu Book Workshop.

Standing on the Xincheng River's Great Wall, Lu Zheng could not see the distant Glistening River. As the water level was rising, the pleasure boats on the river were all leaning against the shore. Engraved pillars, luxurious and beautiful ferry, covered everyone's line of sight. The beautiful people on the cruise liner had yet to wake up from their dreams in the morning mist. The morning here was extremely peaceful.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I last saw him. Is he talking about the smell of sister's feet washing water again?" The window of the golden cruise liner was pushed open, and that familiar face appeared once again behind the curtain.

This time around, the distance between them was extremely close, so close that Lu Zheng could see a few tiny freckles on each other's face.

The girl did not turn ugly because of this flaw. Instead, it made her look even more youthful and energetic.

Lu Zheng smiled and waved at her, saying, "I'm looking for your pleasure boat, long time no see little sister!"

"Pfft!" The girl's face was flushed red as she spat at Lu Zheng, saying, "Child, you are trying to take advantage of your age, I'm afraid you have not even grown any hair! Today, big sister prepared a foot wash for you. Come, I'll let you drink your fill! "

The girl withdrew her head into the window, then poured out a bucket of water.

The water splashed onto the edge of the embankment, splashing a few drops of water onto Lu Zheng's body.

The girl held her stomach and giggled loudly, laughing to the point that she seemed like she was about to lose her waist. Lu Zheng also laughed, only Ying Er who was behind Lu Zheng had a trace of anger appear on her face, the girl used her finger to tease Lu Zheng:

"Aiyo, the little girl in the husband's room is so angry. Once she's gone to bed, she'll feel jealous. Be careful when you go back, or you won't be able to eat anymore!" wind-dust woman was unbridled and unbridled. When had Ying Er ever heard such explicit words, her face immediately flushed red.

She said, "Young master, you … If you speak to this seductress again, I … I'll go back first! "

Lu Zheng waved at the girl on the cruise liner, saying, "You've won! I'll come again another day to seek guidance! "

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and followed Ying Er.

The boat once again rang out with unbridled laughter.

Ever since Lu Zheng received the entire set of four books, he had not been to the Hengwu Book Workshop for a very long time. The most important thing was that his conditions did not allow him to, and after experiencing so many troubles, he could not rashly go out.

On the other hand, Bookshop's servant Yang Shitou missed him very much. Looking at Lu Zheng, he said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Aiyo, Young Master Lu, you haven't come here for quite some time.

Lu Zheng gave Qi Biao a look. Qi Biao raised his hand and threw a few pieces of silver at the kid.

Yang Shitou weighed it in his hand, it was almost a tael of silver, the smile on his face became even wider, and he bent down as he said: "Quickly invite him in, quickly invite him in!"

"Is Boss in?" Lu Zheng said.

This time, he came to find Gu Zhilun, so he went straight to the point.

"He's here! He's studying in the study room in the backyard, and he arrived early in the morning! "

"If it was anyone else, I would not dare to bring them, but you are here, Young Master Lu, I will bring you there right now!"

Yang Shitou walked briskly, and only when Lu Zheng followed him to the backyard of the Bookshop did he realize that there was actually a special place in this place.

The first thing he saw was a winding path made out of green bamboo that led straight into a small river building. The bamboo was covered in moss and gave off an ancient feeling. This was a very good place.

Lu Zheng left Qi Biao outside and only brought Ying Er and the other two along as he paced along the stone path.

"Uncle Gu Shi is truly a beautiful person!" Lu Zheng said.

Ying Er slightly raised her eyebrows. She was extremely satisfied with the place they were at as well. She looked around, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah …" A sound.

Lu Zheng followed Ying Er's gaze and saw a signboard hanging above the house, on it were three words: "Ya Wu Zhai". These three words were like the dance of dragons and phoenixes, the calligraphy was vigorous and graceful, one could tell with a glance that it was written by everyone.

Gu Zhilun was currently reading in his study in his house. Lu Zheng stopped Yang Shitou from reporting and asked him to wait outside while he slowly walked into his study.

The study room consisted of four large rooms, with no separation between them. Gu Zhilun sat behind a huge table made of rosewood, on top of the table were ten different colored treasure stones, different colored pens were placed on top of the table, and the pens inside the pens were as dense and dense as if they were in a green bamboo forest outside.

There was a huge cauldron on the table, and beside it, there was a large plate of fresh fruits and vegetables placed on a purple sandalwood rack. It was especially eye-catching when placed on a plate.

Around the table were bookshelves filled with books. Upon stepping in, Lu Zheng was immediately enchanted by the tranquility of the place. He could only feel the dust drifting away as his mind relaxed.

Gu Zhilun was currently reading the《 Book of Poetry》, his voice was shaking and swaying, his entire body was immersed in the poetic state, it was as if he was dancing with joy.

After he had finished reading the poem, only then did he open his eyes slightly and catch a glimpse of Lu Zheng. He could not help but exclaim, "Ah …" A cry of alarm rang out.

Lu Zheng bowed submissively and said, "Uncle Gu Shi, it's a little rude for an uninvited guest to come uninvited! I never thought that Uncle Shi would be such an elegant person, to have set up such an elegant study in the backyard of Hengwu Book Workshop. As expected of someone who loves books, as expected of someone who reads books! "

, if you keep on praising me, there will be no place for me to put my old face! Gu Zhilun said, and immediately called for the girl to serve tea.

The girl served by Gu Zhilun's side was gentle and kind, with an extraordinary temperament. Ying Ying offered a cup of tea to Lu Zheng, and then stood charmingly behind Gu Zhilun.

"Zheng Geer, it's been awhile since I last saw you here, did you work hard at home during this period, preparing to end up like next year?" Gu Zhilun said.

Lu Zheng replied: "Uncle Gu Shi, I am ashamed to say it, but I live in Yangzhou and live under someone else's protection. "The hardest part is that it is difficult to improve in the field of study. Every time your nephew thinks about it, he is on pins and needles. He is so anxious, but there is nothing he can do about it."

Lu Zheng was extremely perturbed. Gu Zhilun smiled faintly, but did not directly answer, and said:

"Then why did Zheng Geer come here today? This brother here is fine with you calling me Uncle Shi. As long as Uncle Shi is able to help me, I will do my duty! " Gu Zhilun said with a smile.

There was a smile on his face, but he was actually thinking about it.

As a astute merchant, after Gu Zhilun went to the Jiangning to scout for Lu Zheng's background, he returned to Yangzhou and arranged for people to investigate Lu Zheng's situation.

From all kinds of feedback, it could be seen that Lu Zheng was in an extremely bad situation. The future of bastard son, which was not tolerated by the master and mother, could be well imagined as he was sent to live in the master and mother's home.

Jiangning Lu Family, Zhang Family of Yangzhou, these were all renowned families. Although Gu Zhilun was slightly famous in Yangzhou, how could he be compared to a family like the Zhang Family?

Initially, he had thought highly of Lu Zheng and thought that with his good relationship with him, he would definitely reap some rewards in the future.

However, after he received such feedback, his heart could not help but turn cold. Of course, with his shrewdness and shrewdness, he would not reveal any of it on the surface.

Today, when he heard from Lu Zheng that he was living under someone else's roof, he could not help but be vigilant in his heart. After hearing from Lu Zheng's tone, it seemed like there was something he needed from him!

He immediately thought to himself, "This kid is really desperate. I've only met him a few times, and he actually came to ask for help without caring about the consequences. Heh, let's see what he wants to say!"

Thinking up to this point, his heart held a little contempt for Lu Zheng. It was just that his shrewdness was deep and he did not reveal it on the surface.

Lu Zheng smiled and leisurely took a sip of tea. Carefully savoring the tea, he said, "Uncle's tea is a good tea. Once the tip of the hair has faded, it will no longer have the smell of smoke or fire!"

"Err …" Gu Zhilun was startled, and awkwardness appeared on his face.

He couldn't bear to bring out the new tea this year. There was a saying that there was a new tea being added to the fire in the Jiangning, but to drink the new tea, one needed to have the new tea.

Lu Zheng's words were very tactful, it sounded as if he really liked to drink this kind of tea, but when Gu Zhilun heard them, he could not help but feel annoyed.

Lu Zheng did not seem to notice the change in his expression and waved towards Ying Er, who entered carrying a small wooden box.

Lu Zheng replied, "Uncle Shi, your nephew brought something for you to take a look at today. Would you like to take a look first?"

Ying Er opened the wooden box, and inside was neatly placed a copy of < Journey to the West >. The copy was recorded with a hairpin by Ying Er according to Lu Zheng's story, and what was in the box today was only a small part of it.

Gu Zhilun suspiciously accepted the manuscript, his eyes squinting as he read it carefully.

At first glance, this word was not bad, and then the content of the book:

"Since the creation of Pangu's World, the world has been divided into four continents …"

After Gu Zhilun had only read about two to three hundred words, his gaze could no longer move away. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Zheng, "Zheng Geer, this … Is this the manuscript of 'Journey to the West' that you were talking about? "

Lu Zheng took a sip of his tea and said, "Uncle Shi, please read more. I am also here to read a book."

Gu Zhilun said: "Zheng Geer, do not be courteous, you can take my books if you want to take a fancy to them, no matter what!"

Gu Zhilun's entire mind was focused on the draft book that Lu Zheng had given him. Lu Zheng also stood up and paced around, taking down《 The Xinde Dictionary》 and starting to look up the "new" words that he had recently encountered in his studies.

For more than half a month, he had not been to Bookshop. Every day, when Lu Zheng was studying at home, he would use a quill pen he had made himself and carefully memorize every word that was written on the small slip of paper. He found the words one by one and clarified their meaning. According to the pronunciation of the word, it would take a lot of energy and effort to find them.

Lu Zheng and Gu Zhilun were both paying attention to it, the atmosphere within the study could be said to be extremely strange, Gu Zhilun's inner world was especially complicated.
