The journey of giving birth to a son

Chapter 40 Lu Zhan is here (1)

There are really too many people!

Lu Zhan looked around. When he went up the steps, there was no place to insert his feet. There was still a queue at the door. It felt like everyone in Xicheng was here.

"Mr. Lu, don't look at how small this store is, but the food is cheap and delicious."

The person who spoke was a clerk named Liu Jun under Lu Zhan. Some time ago, Liu Jun's mother was seriously ill. Lu Zhan gave him a ginseng from the Marquis Mansion, and also hired a doctor for his mother. Jun was very grateful and cautiously asked Lu Zhan to have dinner, and Lu Zhan agreed.

Liu Jun was surprised. His family's conditions were not good, and his family relied on him to support him. When Lu Zhan first came, he thought, could a young master from the Marquis Mansion manage Xicheng well? Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan had strict military discipline and cared for his subordinates in this way.

Liu Jun had been here several times and was very familiar with this small shop. He took the dinner plate and went to get the food diligently.

"Can you give me more of this garlic-roasted belly and spicy fried large intestine?"

These two dishes were rationed. Yue Ya saw that he was an official and not easy to mess with, so she quickly gave him two full spoonfuls.

"thanks, thanks!"

Liu Jun squeezed out of the crowd with his dinner plate and found Lu Zhan standing at the door, looking ahead, motionless.

Those eyes were full of tears, and they looked through the crowd, through the noise, through thousands of mountains and rivers... and fell softly on the girl's face.

The girl put down a pile of soup bowls. She was wearing a pea-green narrow-sleeved gown and a bun with a tassel on it. The bun shone with tiny rays of light, falling on her cute and cute face. .

"Master Lu, the food is ready." Liu Jun called Lu Zhan.

When Jiang Shiyi turned around, he was stunned. They hadn't seen each other for nearly a year, and Lu Zhan suddenly stood in front of her.

Lu Zhan wore a black dress with dark patterns and narrow sleeves, and a leather belt around his waist, making his figure appear taller and straighter.

The young man's face has lost its youthfulness. Under the big hat, his face has a strong outline and deep features.

Jiang Shiyi suppressed the astringent feeling in his throat and smiled at him.

That smile was like hot spring water flowing through his heart.

While it made his heart tremble, it also touched a time that he had forgotten for a long time.

"Shi Yi? Is that you? Why are you here?"

He met those dark, clear eyes.

The thin sunlight shone from the top of her head, her skin was white and transparent, and the thin down and light pink made her delicate eyes even more dazzling.

These pair of pupils as clear as paint were looking at him for a moment, and with just one sentence, he had an eternal illusion.

"This is my own store."

"Are you okay?" Lu Zhan smiled.

"Well, I'm fine!" Jiang Shiyi nodded.

"Master Lu, come here!" Liu Jun interrupted the conversation and the awkwardness between them.

"I'm over there!"

Liu Jun finally found an empty seat, and Mrs. Wu wiped the table clean. He wiped it with his sleeve, placed the dinner plate in front of Lu Zhan, and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Sir, please try it. This dish tastes very good!"

Lu Zhan added a piece, which was round and had a hole in the middle. "What is this?"

"This is fat sausage!" Liu Jun took a bite and said, "It's so delicious!"

Lu Zhan picked up another long piece, "What is this?"

"This is belly silk. Sir, please eat it quickly, or it will be gone later." As a prince of the Hou family, Lu Zhan rarely eats these things. Looking at his attentive eyes, Lu Zhan picked up a piece of it and put it in his mouth. , oily, with a hint of spiciness, fat but not greasy, full of meaty flavor, not unpleasant to eat.

Liu Jun was very happy to see Lu Zhan eating, "I just told you, the food here is delicious and very cheap. You can add more food after you finish."

This was a meal prepared by Shi Yi, and Lu Zhan ate it thoroughly.

"Master Lu, I'll go and give you some more."

Lu Zhan quickly waved his hand, "I really can't eat anymore,"

Liu Jun came over with a bowl of sweet soup in his hand, "This sweet soup is also very sweet."

Lu Zhan took a sip. It was indeed very sweet.

His eyes looked back and forth inside the store, tracing Jiang Shiyi's figure, but Jiang Shiyi never came out.

In the backyard, Jiang Shiyi stood quietly. He couldn't tell what he was feeling. It was as if he was tired from running around all the way and finally had expectations at this moment.

It turned out that I still longed to see him and was still thinking about him.

Jiang Shiyi calmed down and walked into the store again. Lu Zhan hadn't left yet.

Lu Zhan came over and said, "Shi Yi, did you cook all these dishes?"

Jiang Shiyi nodded.

"You are so capable. Why didn't I know you could cook before?"

"I didn't have the chance to cook before!"

This is the truth. Lu Zhan smiled and said, "If you need my help in the future, you can come to me."

"Yes." Jiang Shiyi nodded, "Thank you!"

"Why are you so unfamiliar?" Lu Zhan smiled, "I will come here often in the future."

Jiang Shiyi sent him to the door.

Liu Jun turned around and said, "No need to give it away, little lady, we will come back tomorrow!"

The weather in April was already a bit hot, and the sun was shining brightly. Lu Zhan blocked the sun with his hands, and suddenly heard the noise in the rouge shop next to him, mixed with crying. He glanced at Liu Jun, "You go over and see what it is?"

The entrance of the rouge shop was crowded with people watching the excitement. Lu Zhan stood at the door, and the sounds reached his ears.

A fat woman put her hands on her waist and scolded Lin Wanniang, "You are a girl, guarding this shop every day? How can a girl show up in public and do business? After word spread, her reputation will not be good, so why don't she get married? ?I did this all for your own good, but instead you complained?"

"Why do you say it so nice? To put it bluntly, you just want to rob the shop. Why do you find so many excuses? Do you still have the nerve to mention my parents? My parents are so angry with you." Lin Wan's mother said no. Said convinced.

"Pah!" The fat woman slapped Lin Wanniang loudly, "What are you talking about? I'll take the shop back and I'll definitely make a dowry for you in the future. I'm doing this for your own good, so don't you? If you know what is good or bad, who will care about you except us? Why don’t you hurry back with me!"

"I won't go back with you!" Lin Wanniang covered her face and cried in her voice, "Don't pretend to be good people here."

Blood flowed from her nostrils, and Lin Wanniang wiped her face. Her face was red and looked scary.

"How can you beat someone?" Jiang Shiyi walked in and wiped her face with a handkerchief. During this period, Lin Wanniang's uncle and aunt came over every now and then to cause trouble.

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" the man pointed at Jiang Shiyi's nose.

"Okay! Don't talk to her so much. If she doesn't come back with us, we will tie her back now." The fat woman said impatiently.

The man took a rope to tie up Lin Wanniang, while the woman threw down the bottles and cans on the counter and smashed them into pieces on the floor.
