Lu Chengfeng was paving the way for the things that should have been resolved a few years ago, so busy for seven or eight days, Cheng Yao and Du Rufeng ran around early and late, Jiang Yunnan was even worse, Lu Chengfeng took the time to go to the North Camp to inspect , She has been dragging on the matter of military funds, and the few of them have made fun of themselves several times. They spoke well at the beginning, but at the end they became confused and lost the text, and gradually became numb while getting angry.

"In the end, I don't really want it." Zhuo San drove the horse by his side: "It's just that seeing the 10 taels, I'm afraid that it will fall into the hands of others, and I don't want to suffer from it."

Lu Chengfeng didn't say a word, the road was uneven, and the speed inevitably slowed down.

Zhuo San said again: "Young master should not be in the plum garden right now, but stay in the shop."

As July approached, the sun was shining on the road, and only a lonely porter drove under the sun.

Xie Jiuxiao really found something for himself to do.

"How is business?" Lu Chengfeng asked.

Zhuo San smiled and said: "My lord, this shop has a good business, he goes between the plum garden and the shop every day, looking for some miscellaneous records to pass the time, oh, yes, and watching this little girl practice calligraphy, this little girl The girl is too naughty, and I can't control her."

"Why do you need to demand more from her, I was more naughty than her when I was thirteen or fourteen years old."

Zhuo San said: "Master, you can get used to her. I asked, this girl is just looking young, she is also sixteen years old. She has been living in the market before and has had a lot of troubles. She has been raised in the past six months. So fast."

Lu Chengfeng held the rein, and smiled when he heard the words: "People have thousands of ways to live, so why not if she wants to live like this, as long as she is happy."

Zhuo Sanyi thought so, then passed Liu Xiaoxiao's topic, looked at the sky and said: "We have to go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to advance to the city when it gets dark."

Lu Chengfeng took a break from his busy schedule, Cheng Yao and Du Rufeng rushed to the South Camp every day, Jiang Yunnan was busier than her, after Lu Chengfeng dismissed the four camps, he specially inspected Qianlongwei's drill and inspected the newly arrived Warhorse, there is no need for her to make decisions in the past half month, and the matter of making and modifying bows and crossbows has been put on the agenda.

After entering the city, Lu Chengfeng took a detour to the blacksmith's shop in the west of the city. It was near evening, and the blacksmith's shop was deserted, but the people beside the bellows were full of enthusiasm. He was wearing a sleeveless jacket, showing his muscles, and he was very tall and burly.

Lu Chengfeng approached, with a familiar tone: "Brother Song's strength is worthy of being a master craftsman for three generations."

The middle-aged man turned his head when he heard the voice, and the movement of his hands paused: "Little general."

Lu Chengfeng sat down on a small wooden bench beside him, looked around, and looked at the blazing fire in the bellows. The weather was hot and he was leaning against the fire source. Song Yu's face was covered with sweat. Thick, Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly: "Brother Song."

Song Yu is 32 this year. He inherited his father's business and has been here to forge weapons for people. His working time is long and the price is high, but his craftsmanship is the best in Subei. For some reasons, the craftsmen of the military camp could not do it, so Lu Chengfeng thought of Song Yu.

Lu Chengfeng explained the purpose of his visit. Song Yu took the blueprint, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "From the picture book, it is reasonable. We need to add another range to the original range and maintain the stability of the light crossbow. It looks reasonable, but the structure of the light crossbow has long been fixed, and it may not be as expected, and "

Song Yu spread out the drawing to her and pointed to a certain place on the drawing: "Here is a problem."

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "So I came to you for an idea."

Song Yu pondered, took two steps, and turned around: "I will try my best."

After setting a date with Song Yu, Lu Chengfeng said goodbye.

Before the sunset, the streets were full of people in a hurry. Lu Chengfeng went to a shop in the city. When he arrived at the door, someone was coming out of the shop with an exquisite snack box. Lu Chengfeng stepped aside and walked in with Zhuo San Go, as soon as you enter the door, you will see an assortment of pastries on the cabinet as tall as a person on the left. There are about fifteen or six kinds of pastries. What's even more strange is that each kind of pastry has a high price written next to it.

Lu Chengfeng approached and stared at one of the flowers that seemed to look like an alternating red and white color. Lu Chengfeng saw the clue and reached out to touch it. Zhuo San said from the side: "Master, it's fake. It's not here. Show off the real thing."

Lu Chengfeng withdrew his hand and said, "This flower costs more than one or two taels of silver?"

Zhuo Sandao: "Master also thinks it is expensive, but the young master insists on such a price. The most surprising thing is that the name of Shengfang suddenly became famous, no matter how expensive it is, people buy it, and what's more, it comes from other places, just for the sake of it. Try Shengfang's dim sum."

Lu Chengfeng said, "What about others?"

Zhuo San said: "Young Master should be on the third floor at this time."

All the servants employed in the shop knew Zhuo San and knew that he was Xie Jiuxiao's guard. Naturally, no one dared to stop him when he led people up to the third floor. Zhuo San followed behind him and walked two steps, but was suddenly stopped by the servant: "Zhuo Guard."

The two turned their heads, Lu Chengfeng said: "Go, I'll go up by myself."

Lu Chengfeng went up to the third floor by himself, but he didn't see Xie Jiuxiao after searching around. He thought to himself that he was not there, and when he was about to go down, he bumped into someone at the top of the stairs. Holding the brochure and a very delicate food box in one hand, he frowned slightly when he saw a stranger: "Who brought you here?"

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, Lu Chengfeng smiled and said: "Sorry, but I am looking for someone."

The girl said seriously: "If you want to find someone, you can go to the front hall and ask the boy, diners are not allowed here."

Lu Chengfeng didn't say a word, the girl regarded her as a regular ordering customer, and said, "Do you want to order pastries? Today and tomorrow are all gone, so I can only make an order for the day after tomorrow, go to the front hall and tell the boy to pay the deposit That's it."

Lu Chengfeng smiled without a trace, thinking that it's only been two months, and the shop he opened on a whim is quite impressive, so he nodded without explaining, "Thank you."

The girl got out of the way, and Lu Chengfeng went downstairs, just two steps away, he suddenly heard light footsteps coming from the end of the corridor, and then the girl in front of him stepped forward: "Master."

Lu Chengfeng paused, and unconsciously frowned, and sure enough, Xie Jiuxiao's voice came from a distance: "What's the matter?"

The girl said: "June's accounts have been sorted out, Sanniang has made a new product, let me bring it over for you to taste."

Xie Jiuxiao's voice was emotionless and indifferent: "Take it here."

Lu Chengfeng stepped up the steps, Xie Jiuxiao didn't see anyone, he had already opened a door to enter, neither of them noticed her, Lu Chengfeng walked forward, the door was open, Xie Jiuxiao put the brochure aside, Su Yupu brought out a few pastries, Xie Jiuxiao lowered his eyes, took the chopsticks, tasted them one by one, did not speak for a while, Su Yupu carefully handed over a cup of white tea, Xie Jiuxiao took a sip, Su Yupu asked: "How is it? "

Xie Jiuxiao said, "The chestnut cake is okay."

He put down the teacup, and the table was full of dishes. Xie Jiuxiao was a little absent-minded, and he didn't put it right for a while. The teacup was tilted, and the tea poured on the robe. Seeing this, Su Yupu immediately took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, but Xie Jiuxiao Restrain: "No—"

Before the words were finished, there was a chuckle at the door, and the two looked subconsciously.

Su Yupu frowned suddenly: "It's not that—"

But Xie Jiuxiao, who had always been indifferent, suddenly stood up and walked towards the person happily: "When did you come back?"

Lu Chengfeng leaned against the door and looked at him: "Just arrived."

She glanced at Su Yupu who was following up without a trace, and there was obvious doubt in her eyes, but the doubt was not all pure curiosity, it seemed to be probing and vigilant.

Lu Chengfeng remained calm, looked down at his robe that was wet with tea, and said, "What were you thinking about just now, you're so sloppy."

Xie Jiuxiao saw that she was silent, and Lu Chengfeng raised his brows: "What? Can't talk after two months?"

Xie Jiuxiao glanced at Su Yupu, Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, and Xie Jiuxiao said, "We'll just—"

Lu Chengfeng suddenly stretched out his right hand, without saying a word, just brushed off his robe without any effect, and said, "I'll ask Zhuo San to send you a clean set of robes."

She didn't look at Su Yupu, she dusted it and then loosened it, folded her arms lazily, with a smile on her lips: "Miss me?"

Xie Jiuxiao froze for a moment.

He knows Lu Chengfeng well. She never reveals these words in front of others. I don't know if it's because she hasn't seen each other for a long time or what.
Xie Jiuxiao nodded: "I think so."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Then do we still need to look at the accounts?"

Xie Jiuxiao replied, "I won't watch it."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, and turned to look at the person beside him who barely kept smiling: "Girl, I have found someone, and now I have something to say to him alone."

The implication is to let her go.

Su Yupu said softly: "Okay, let's chat."
