First Empress Merchant

Chapter 118 The First Kiss (1)
Sure enough, Zhang Shizhong's face changed when he heard this, and he opened and closed his mouth several times without making a sound.

Hey, this independent person is too assertive, but no matter what she says, she is a woman, and she doesn't know if being too assertive is a good thing or a bad thing for her. It's not that she didn't understand that her thoughts are all about her family, but This is obviously too naive, presumably she knew too well to deliberately make things difficult for him, this girl.

Lu Lishi finally softened her heart, so she said flatteringly: "Uncle Shi, it's not that Shishi is looking for words to anger you, nor is it that Shishi is demeaning herself, but with such an identity, it is really no longer easy to marry, to be honest , only those who really raise a family know how difficult it is to support a family, and now Shishi puts all her energy on the villa, and really has no other thoughts, so don't worry about Shishi No. Otherwise, when Dad gets better, Shishi will have time to find someone she likes. I will let you have a look at that time, and Shishi will remarry after getting approval from you, the witness. Do you think it is feasible? But by then you will be promoted again , don't dislike Shishi's low profile, and don't want to be the witness of the marriage!"

After hearing these complaints and flattering words, Zhang Shizhong was both angry and funny, and shook his head, "You girl, you have learned nothing else from your father, but you have learned a lot from your eloquence, yes, Shi Bo said But you, you can do whatever you like, but Shibo's words are not just words, I will help you pay more attention during this time, if you really look down on him, then Shibo will no longer care about you gone."

Having got the right words, Lu Lishi was so happy that she immediately stood up and saluted, "Xie Shibo has made it possible, and Lao Shibo has taken care of it!"

Then the two chatted a few more gossips, Zhang Shizhong saw that it was not too early, so Ah Zhong sent him back to the villa, but in the evening, Wanrongju welcomed another unexpected person VIP.

"Miss, brother Ah Zhong is back, and he brought a lot of things back!" Hearing someone calling the door, Wu Changqing ran to open the door, saw Ah Zhong and the big bag in his hand eating, and shouted at the middle courtyard .

Lu Lishi was busy with the work in hand, and without looking up, she also shouted: "Oh, let him take the things to the kitchen to wash, and take them out after they are clean! What are you doing, Xin'er, let you adjust the flavor?" Are the plates ready?"

Xin'er didn't stop, and replied while distributing the dishes: "I'm doing it, but miss, how many people do you want to share in total?"

Lu Lishi wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Didn't you see that I'm busy? You can count for yourself, as many people as there are, just divide the dishes!"

Xin'er looked up at her, and found that she was indeed too busy to sit down, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, and said after counting the heads, "Miss, there are seven people in total, I thought Master Zhang would stay here I seem to have prepared too much for the meal, what should I do?"

Lu Lishi rolled her eyes angrily, "Let's put the excess aside for now, and if anyone is not enough, just add some."

Xin'er nodded, "Oh good!"

As soon as he finished explaining to Xin'er here, Ah Zhong came out with the washed things, swept around the people who were busy, and then said, "Miss, it's all washed, what should I do next?"

Lu Lishi sighed, and pointed to the stone table on one side with one finger, "Take the things over there, cut them into thin slices with a knife, and then ask Situ for bamboo sticks, just like the ones Li Yi is holding. It’s enough to string up the thin slices one by one, Changqing, go and help him.”

None of these people is really worry-free. They can clearly see it at a glance, but they have to ask one by one, so that they will never do such thankless things next time.

Today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, it is rare not to go up the mountain, eating wine and admiring the moon is too monotonous, Lu Lishi is on a whim, and it is rare for people to gather together. Of course, what Ah Zhong said is that she deliberately told him to send someone back. By the way, I bought some fruits and vegetables, and set up a small barbecue party.

The barbecue party was held in the middle courtyard of Wanrong Residence. The participants were seven people who live here now. Lu Lishi was in charge of making simple grills and lighting bonfires. Yi was in charge of cutting the meat, Ah Zhong and Wu Changqing were in charge of cutting and stringing vegetables, and Lu Yizhuo was in charge of waiting for the food.

Although it’s true that having a barbecue outdoors on a hot day is asking for trouble, but it’s a festival. Last time, the Dragon Boat Festival was too busy on the mountain, so it ended hastily after a simple meal. This time it’s going to be lively, right? ?

When the preparations were almost done, Lu Lishi invited everyone to sit around and poured everyone a bowl of wine brewed privately half a month ago, but she just motioned for everyone to pick up the wine bowls and was about to say a few opening words. There was a knock on the door.

Lu Lishi was taken aback for a moment, "Who could it be for this big festival?"

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

As soon as they heard the sound of asking from outside the door, Situ and Ah Zhong stood up reflexively, thinking that they were in Wanrongju, they looked at Lu Lishi at the same time.

Lu Lishi naturally recognized who the owner of that voice was, sighed, then got up and said: "You guys wait a minute, Situ, Ah Zhong, you two come with me to invite someone in."

Who else could that gentle and smiling coquettish voice be except Zhou Yang?It's just that why would he come to her house?Shouldn't you have a reunion dinner with your family?Besides, his younger brother and nephew have all come to the Northwest, so why should he be with them?

When the door opened, Lu Lishi was about to tease him with a few words, when she unconsciously shifted her eyes to the face of the young lady behind him who was less than half his height, and she was dazed again.

After carefully looking at this young lady, what should I say, if it wasn't for his curly hair, his straight body, and the calmness he released when he met people's eyes that didn't match those of his peers, she would I will definitely regard him as a cute girl disguised as a man, because he is so beautiful, and I looked at Zhou Yang who was smiling brightly, and I found that there was a bit of a difference between the two people's eyebrows and eyes. He raised his eyebrows, but just as he realized something, he saw Situ and Ah Zhong respectfully bowing down to him.

Seeing this, Lu Lishi confirmed the guess in her heart, and knelt down to salute, but Zhou Zizhe stopped her just as she knelt down.

That's right, this little Zhengtai is none other than Zhou Zizhe, the current crown prince, but what exactly does he want to come here?
Zhou Zizhe raised his hand, then smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, I... I am a guest at a friend's house with my uncle today. I take the liberty to come here. This is a small profit, and I hope the lady will accept it."

As soon as he said this, he saw another person dressed as a guard holding a high-end brocade box flashing out from behind them.

Lu Lishi heard that Zhou Zizhe didn't want to reveal her identity, so she glanced back at Situ and Ah Zhong, then smiled and bowed, "The little girl will thank the young master for the gift on behalf of the family, but the young master will come to play next time. Such an expense, the little girl’s whole family welcomes it.”
