The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 388
Lu Shi became silent, staying in the stable for longer and longer, and eating faster day by day.

The teacher asked him why, and he replied: "I always feel that there are still many books that I have not fully understood, and there is not enough time."

There is no lies in this statement.

The appearance of Chu Yanting made Lu Shi truly understand what it means to compare people to others and make people angry.

Born in a Shili family, he was educated by famous teachers since he was a child. He was just fourteen years old, but he already had the title of Jieyuan.

Except that Lu Shi was nine years older than him, nothing else could compare to him.

On this day, my husband did not go home for dinner. After eating in a hurry as usual, he went to the stable to read.

In the dead of night, the girl came.

His intuition was wrong. Normally she would have gone to bed early at this time.

"What happened?"

"Dad was summoned to the palace, but he still hasn't come back. It's been several hours."

"Have you sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to inquire about the situation?"

"I have inquired, and His Highness has also been called into the palace."

"what are you worried about?"

She bit her lower lip and said after a while: "You are unpredictable."

These four words made Lu Shi feel inexplicably tense.

"Don't be afraid, you go back to your room first, and I will go to the Prince's Mansion to inquire."

"Brother, what if..."

"Not in case."

He said to the forest wall in the distance: "Give me two boys. If anything happens, I will ask them to come back and deliver the message."

"Yes."

When Lu Shi went to the Prince's Mansion, he never thought that everyone in the Prince's Mansion was anxious, and the Crown Princess was even waiting eagerly at the second door.

At this moment, Lu Shi suddenly felt that these nobles were also very pitiful.

Their wealth, life and death, happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are all controlled by one person.

Heaven and hell are all within that person's thoughts.

Lu Shi asked the young boy to go back and report the news to the eldest lady, and then he took another young boy to the palace gate.

The palace door was closed tightly and there was no movement. He could only wait.

Also waiting at the palace gate was the steward of the Prince's Mansion.

The steward waited until midnight and couldn't hold it any longer, so he went to take a nap in the carriage.

Lu Shi couldn't sleep, so he stood and endorsed.

After memorizing books all night, there was still no news about the two of them. It was already dawn, and the steward of the Prince's Mansion was so anxious that his face was as white as a ghost.

Lu Shi thought for a while and called another boy.

"Go back and tell the lady that no news is the best news, so that she can have breakfast in peace."

"Master Lu, are you..."

"Just tell the lady what I say."

Lu Shi's expression became stern, "No more words, no less words. Go quickly."

The boy was startled by the cruelty on his face, "Yes!"

Lu Shi was anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it. His experiences over the years had told him that when people are anxious, they can easily make mistakes.

Unfortunately, not everyone understood this truth. The boy obviously said a few more words, but within half an hour, she hurried over in a carriage.

Staying away all night is unprecedented.

Lu Shi looked at the girl's pale face and said nothing. He just raised his hand and gently rubbed her head a few times.

The girl didn't say anything and rested her head on his arm.

Lu Shi suddenly felt that this child was actually quite weak on the inside, but was only supported by a layer of skin on the outside.

"Where is Chu Yanting?"

"sleeping."

The girl hummed: "He said it's okay."

Lu Shixin said: That kid is still a child!

"The end of the Tang Dynasty."

In the silence, he suddenly called out, "Sir, what's the purpose of giving you this name?"

"The mulberry has not yet fallen, but its leaves are ferocious."

"That's not the intention."

She raised her head and looked at him with confusion.

He looked back at her and said softly: "The end of the Tang Dynasty, the end of the Tang Dynasty is sweet." What is sweet?
It is sweet to be carefree, it is sweet to have fine clothes and fine food, it is sweet to marry a good man, and it is sweet to have children and grandchildren.

Girl, don't worry, your life is fine.

Tang Zhiwei was startled for a moment, then smiled softly.

……

The prince and his husband left the mansion in the evening. Without saying a word, they got into their carriage and immediately headed back home.

At this time, Lu Cai found out that his husband had knelt with the prince for half a night because the prince said the wrong thing to His Majesty.

My husband's leg recovered after a few days of rest.

But from that day on, he looked at Lu Shi differently, and he grasped his homework more tightly. If he was not satisfied, he would blow his beard and stare.

The girl didn't seem to be the same either, and she started to pick her nose at Chu Yanting.

There are still four people at the dining table and four people in the study, but the conversation has become like this:

"Junior sister, how do I write this?"

"not so good."

"Senior Brother Lu's handwriting is worse than mine."

"Who says Senior Brother Lu is bad? He is a man of his own."

"..."

"Junior sister, shall we play chess later?"

"You know how to play all day long, so you can't study hard like Senior Brother Lu and quietly write an article."

"That's because Senior Brother Lu is not smarter than me."

"Don't put gold on your face, Senior Brother Lu is as wise as he is foolish."

"..."

"Junior sister, I like this dish, why are you moving to Senior Brother Lu's side?"

"You are too fat, and Senior Brother Lu is too thin. You have to eat less, and he has to eat more. Senior Brother Lu, you eat..."

The girl smiled at Lu Shi, and the candlelight enveloped her, adding a sense of intimacy for no reason.

"Senior Brother Lu, look at Junior Sister...she is always bullying me." Chu Yanting looked aggrieved.

Lu Shi suddenly felt that this kid was actually not that annoying, and he still had some merits.

……

The days, in such closeness day by day, slipped by quietly.

It's February [-]nd again, junior sister's birthday.

This year, junior sister is fourteen, and he has been in the Lu family for two years.

In the first year, he didn't have much money, so he could only wash Naoren'er clean and work as her groom for a long time.

This year, he spent every holiday to go to the blacksmith shop of his three fat brothers and saved six taels of silver in one year.

He used the six taels of silver to buy a box of rouge at the best rouge shop in the capital.

On February [-]nd, the Tang family was busy with traffic and guests.

As the eldest disciple of the Master, he put on the most decent clothes and helped the Master greet the guests.

Lu Shisheng was not born to be welcomed and sent, so he could only silently follow his husband, nodding to this and bowing to others.

Chu Yanting, on the other hand, was at ease in this situation, handling everything he said and did in a clear and logical manner.

He even brought someone here, his name was Tang Zhen, he was pretty, fair and fair, and he looked like a smart man.

Tang Zhen came to be his apprentice. The teacher only asked him a few questions and then gave him the name: Jianxi.

The teacher said that this child has a lot of aura cultivated by mountains and rivers, and his mind is also simple. He can see the inside at a glance, it is very clear.

In this way, Tang Jianxi became his junior brother.

He is thirteen days older than his junior sister.

When his junior brother came over to salute him, he was also surprised.

This kid was even worse at hiding than Chu Yanting. He stared at Lu for a long time with his eyes wide open and sighed.

"Elder brother, why are you so old?"

Lu Shi: "..."

Tang Jianxi: "Elder brother, are you married yet?"

Lu Shi shook his head.

Tang Jianxi's eyes almost popped out of his head, "Senior Brother, is there something wrong with you being so old and not having a family yet?"

Lu Shi replied with one word in his heart: Fuck!
