After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 37 Lotus Flower Cake

Lu Wanzhi spread the rice paper on the row table, and asked Shen Luozhi, "You heard about his killing before? I just heard about it today."

Shen Luozhi said: "This matter happened a while ago two years ago, many people knew about it, Wang Yushi impeached the Xiaojun King many times, and was fined by His Majesty for half a year because of this, after that, the matter was never settled.

I just feel sorry for the dead girl. I heard that she was a famous beauty on Zhuque Street in Chang'an. The parents in the family gave birth to such a daughter. She was spoiled by thousands of pampers. Who knew she died in the palace. She died in a terrible state. . "

Lu Wanzhi wrote: "It's hard to see a daughter in the family, it shows how much her parents love her."

Shen Luozhi nodded lightly and said: "Well, I heard that their family owns a pastry shop, and the little county king loves her pastries the most."

Lu Wanzhi said: "But Furong Bakery specializes in making Jiangnan pastries?"

Shen Luozhi nodded and said: "Exactly, their cakes were famous among the nobles in Chang'an, it's a pity."

Lu Wanzhi also said with emotion: "I used to love lotus cakes at her house, but after they closed the door, I thought they had gone to other places, but I didn't expect that something happened at home, but I believe Zhao Heng would not do it. of this matter."

Shen Luozhi looked at Lu Wanzhi and said, "There are rumors among this honorable family that the Duke of Chu did it, why are you so sure it wasn't Zhao Heng's doing?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "I don't believe in Zhao Heng, but I believe in the prince of Chu. If this matter was really done by the king of the small county, the king of the small county must not be alive today, he would have been beaten to death by the prince of Chu with a military stick long ago. "

Shen Luozhi smiled and said, "Mr. is right."

……

Zhao Heng returned to Lu Garden with the pastry and did not see Lu Wanzhi. After asking Yulan, he found out that Lu Wanzhi had gone to the academy.

When I arrived at the academy and searched around, I couldn't find Lu Wanzhi.

Zhao Heng carried the cakes and headed towards the mountain peach forest, but saw Lu Wanzhi and Shen Luozhi standing side by side, painting together.

Lu Wanzhi's smile towards Shen Luozhi was exceptionally relaxed, and she was also very gentle in front of Shen Luozhi.

Zhao Heng was so angry that he walked up to Lu Wanzhi, put the box containing the pastry heavily on Lu Wanzhi's desk and said, "Hey, here it is."

Lu Wanzhi opened it and said, "Is this the exclusive lotus flower cake in Furong Bakery?"

Zhao Heng said: "You know the goods."

Lu Wanzhi took a piece of lotus cake and handed it to Shen Luozhi who was beside him: "Luozhi, you should try it too."

When Shen Luozhi was about to reach out to pick it up, Zhao Heng leaned forward and took a bite of the lotus cake in Lu Wanzhi's hand, swallowing and said, "This... the king of the county gave it to you specially, how can you give it to him?"

Lu Wanzhi said, "Since it's for me, I can give it to whoever I want to eat. Luo Zhi is a student who can win the No. [-] ranking for Tsinglan Academy, so what's the point of eating a pastry?"

Zhao Heng said angrily, "I won't give you pastries anymore."

Seeing Zhao Heng's childlike temper, Lu Wanzhi said it was the first time he showed his filial piety to his master.

Lu Wanzhi didn't continue to give Shen Luozhi the pastry, but took a lotus flower cake and tasted it: "It's still the same taste as before, thank you."

Zhao Heng didn't get angry now, walked to Shen Luozhi's side and looked at Shen Luozhi's painting and said, "Brother Luo, your painting is not as good as Lu Wanzhi's, you have to practice more!"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Shen Luozhi also thought that his painting skills were outstanding, after all, his handwriting was extremely beautiful, "Let me give you some pointers from the Duke of Chu."

Zhao Heng said: "Look at the inscription on that peach blossom tree, there is no inscription on your painting."

Shen Luozhi saw that there was really a line of small characters engraved on the peach tree not far away.

Zhao Heng stepped forward and said, "This peach tree has been around for 30 years at least, what is it like now... A quiet girl, she is like a girl in the city."

Lu Wanzhi listened to Zhao Heng reading the characters on the peach tree, and sarcastically said: "...you still said you know the characters, and you made two mistakes out of the nine characters. You are not happy to let you go to the yellow character class, why do you even know the Book of Songs?" I don't know?"

Zhao Heng snorted softly and said, "Isn't this seven words correct? Besides, who said I don't know the meaning of this poem?
My sister-in-law’s boudoir name is Jingshu. My prince and brother came to study in the academy. This poem may be left by my brother. beat her up. "

Lu Wanzhi's head hurts again: "How can it be related to the princess? This is a poem in Beifeng in the Book of Songs, it's Jing Nu, her concubine, waiting for me in the corner of the city. I don't see you in love, scratching my head and hesitating. Let me take care of..."

Zhao Heng looked at the peach blossoms on the peach tree and said: "I know, there are two young couples who are in love with each other in our academy, and they came to have a tryst under the peach tree, so they carved this poem under the peach tree, right?
No, apart from you and your maid, there are no women in this academy. Could it be that you had a tryst here before? "

Lu Wanzhi glared at Zhao Heng, then stepped forward to look at the inscription on the tree.

After glancing at the lettering, Lu Wanzhi frowned slightly, it was obviously her brother's handwriting.

Could it be that Zhao Heng really guessed it, is it really related to the Crown Princess?

Then this tree must not stay.

Looking at Lu Wanzhi's expression, Zhao Heng thought she was the one who stayed behind.

"The king of this county often feels cold at night, why not cut down this tree and burn firewood to keep warm?"

Lu Wanzhi nodded and said: "It's rare that you came up with a good idea, Luo Zhi, have you finished the painting? Cut down this tree after you finish the painting."

Shen Luozhi said: "After the painting is finished, the only thing that needs to be written is the inscription. I wonder if I can ask the prince of the county to give me an inscription on my painting?"

This time, Zhao Heng didn't hate Shen Luozhi at all, and stepped forward and said, "Of course it's a reward."

Following what Shen Luozhi said, Zhao Heng inscribed words on his painting, and the whole painting was the icing on the cake.

Shen Luozhi looked at Zhao Heng who wrote the inscription, perhaps, Lu Wanzhi would really be worshiped by Zhao Heng's descendants a hundred years later.

Just from this handwriting, it can be seen that it is not impossible for Chu County King to become a pillar.

"Why are you looking at the king of this county like this? You like the king of this county? The king of this county is not manly!"

After Zhao Heng wrote the inscription, he looked at Shen Luozhi and stared at him in admiration, feeling uncomfortable looking at him.

Shen Luozhi: "..."

Or he thought too much, it seems that Lu Wanzhi will be worshiped by Zhao Heng's descendants in the future, it will not be so easy.

Lu Wanzhi said from the side: "Prince Xiaojun, do you know the saying that trees need skin and people need face?"

Zhao Heng said: "Didn't you rub the face of the king of this county off by the lake last time?"

Lu Wanzhi took a deep breath, she didn't expect Zhao Heng's descendants to remember her kindness in the future.

With his current temperament, he can't even talk about whether he will marry or not even his wife!

Lu Wanzhi ate the lotus cake and calmed down, at least he knew how to honor himself with pastries.

Lu Wanzhi picked up a new piece of lotus cake, took a bite, and felt sweet and greasy in his mouth, "This piece of lotus cake doesn't taste right, why is it so sweet?"

"I made this lotus flower cake!" Zhao Heng said, "I put half a jar of sugar on purpose!"

Lu Wanzhi put the lotus flower crisps in the box, not wanting to eat any more, "Half a can of sugar? How can I eat it? I'll take it back and feed the fish later."

Zhao Heng picked up the lotus cake that Lu Wanzhi had eaten, took a bite and said, "It's delicious and sweet."

Zhao Heng said and handed the lotus cake to Shen Luozhi, "Try it."

Shen Luozhi: "Little Duke, Mr. Lu has already bitten this lotus flower."

"My master, what are you doing to see others like this? This is called hard work. The king of this county has made pastries for more than an hour, so we can't waste it."

As Zhao Heng spoke, he took a bite of the lotus flower crisps, and just eating, the base of his ears gradually turned a tinge of red.

Just because he saw Lu Wanzhi's red lipstick left on the lotus cake...

I have said all the hard work, and this lotus flower cake is not enough.

Zhao Heng glanced at Lu Wanzhi furtively, and saw that she was focusing on painting the peach tree, so he swallowed the rest of the lotus cake in one gulp while no one was paying attention.

It's also strange, where does the fragrance of jasmine come from in this lotus flower cake?
