First Empress Merchant

Chapter 189
When it was almost noon, Zhang Shizhong's father and daughter brought Lu Fang to visit, and Lu Lishi accompanied them for a conversation, and then went to cook for them.After the meal, Zhang Yingying and Lu Fang said that the meal was so well done.They were all fed up, Xin'er took them around Wanrong Residence, and Lu Lishi continued to accompany Zhang Shizhong to talk in the study.

The uncle and nephew chatted a lot, such as Lu Yizhuo's physical condition, how the second generations of officials became, how anxious Zhou Jing was about this matter, and mentioning again that Yuan Zeyu was going to propose marriage to Lu Lishi, Lu Lishi also emphasized again that she would never marry into the Yuan family again, and Zhang Shizhong also promised that she would never agree to this marriage.

After Zhang Lu and the two ladies finished shopping around the house and went to the study, Zhang Shizhong used an excuse to visit Lu Yizhuo. In fact, he wanted these girls of similar age to talk more together. After all, I really don’t know when it will be. And they were so happy, of course, they didn't think as far as Zhang Shizhong, after all, they were still young, and they had many little secrets of their own to share, so this parting sentiment didn't show much.

In this way, the host and guest got along very happily during this noon and afternoon. Before sending them off, Lu Lishi asked Xin'er to make two peach cakes for them to take back to eat. Said that when they go to the villa tomorrow, they will settle the money for helping to sell flower and fruit tea in the past few days. Zhang Lu and Zhang Lu are secretly happy when they hear this. What tricks the little girl is up to, anyway, seeing that they are happy, he will let them go.

Another day later, Lu Lishi left Situ and Wu Changqing to take care of Lu Yizhuo at home, and only took Xin'er and Ah Zhong to the villa. Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the villa, they saw those distinguished guests who seemed to be very busy. The plan to leave tomorrow was changed to after noon today.

Lu Lishi was not surprised by this, but it's understandable when you think about it, no matter whether it's Wo Yila Dahan, Zhou Zizhe, or Zhou Jing, after the incident with Lu Yizhuo, they must not be in the mood to stay any longer , Here, before Lu Lishi went to find Wu Yila Khan, he specially notified the cooks in the villa to cook another big meal, which can be regarded as a practice for them.

Arriving at the gate of the small building of Wu Yila Dahan, Lu Lishi saw that Dina had just come out, and was hesitating whether to say hello, but when Dina saw her, she turned back and went in. Lu Lishi subconsciously looked at Xin'er and Ah Zhong, Xin'er didn't know what to say, so she could only look back at her worriedly. As for Ah Zhong, he raised his hand directly, meaning that since he came, he should go in first. Lu Lishi sighed silently, and then went in .

Wu Yila Khan was also wondering why Dina went back and forth, and after seeing Lu Lishi, he understood, and then smiled at her: "Is your father feeling better? Can you go up the mountain together today?"

Lu Lishi replied: "Father Lao is very concerned, Dad is much better and can eat now, but his body is still a little weak and he can't walk, so he stays at home to rest."

"Well, it's better to rest and recuperate for a while." Hearing this, Wo Yila Khan seemed to have something on his mind, so he just replied lightly.

Lu Lishi knew what he was thinking, so she said again: "Father, I heard that you are leaving today, and it's my fault that I didn't find out until after my daughter came. Because of Father's illness, I didn't bring Changqing here. Why don't my daughter come here?" Just send someone to call him here?"

Wu Yila Da Khan glanced at her when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "It's considered that you have the heart, and you can think of asking him to say goodbye to me, but if he didn't come, it's God's will, it doesn't matter if you don't call, anyway, wait I will stop by for a few days before I go back to Wuyika, and see you later."

Without waiting for Lu Lishi to answer, he suddenly thought of something, and continued, "By the way, I heard from Yan Jin that you want to return the matter of me leaving a team here to protect you? Why? I can still make decisions for you here, but I What are you going to do after you're gone?"

Lu Lishi shook her head with a smile, "Thank you foster father for being so considerate of my daughter, but I really don't need those people here. The so-called heroes must have their uses to be called heroes, right? The people who want foster father to stay must be all The warriors who have been fighting with their adoptive father all the year round, if they stay with me for a short period of time, it will be okay, but after a long time, I am really afraid that they will be ruined. Besides, this time, a foster father will stand up for his daughter. Who will dare to bully them in the future? Daughter?"

Wu Yila Khan also laughed, "You are the only girl who can talk! Well, it's all up to you, you don't want them to stay here to hinder you, and I don't want to be someone who does bad things with good intentions."

"What did the adoptive father say? You dare not forget how you took care of your daughter. By the way, adoptive father, it is also thanks to your daughter's arrival today, otherwise this gift will not be delivered to you." Lu Lishi said. He took out a mirror case from his sleeve.

Wo Yila Khan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is there a gift for me? You girl, when did you prepare it?"

Lu Lishi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, then stepped forward and handed the brocade box to him, "I prepared it two days ago, and I wanted to entrust His Royal Highness to hand it over to you, but I was afraid that you would blame your daughter for pushing away your kindness and get angry , I’ll take it out to please you first.”

Wu Yila glanced at her before taking the brocade box, and after opening the brocade box, he was half suspicious and half surprised: "This is... the feather I gave you before? It seems to have become shorter, and these What is it?"

Lu Lishi nodded, "It is indeed that feather. In fact, the daughter always felt guilty for breaking the feather that the adoptive father cherished very much. After thinking about it, she realized that the adoptive father was willing to give up her love at that time to protect her, but the daughter thought Since it belongs to the adoptive father, it can only be kept with the adoptive father, but it cannot be returned to the adoptive father just like this, so he decided to cut off the damaged part, and then remembered the experience of the ancients who used feathers to dip ink to write, so he put it away. I made a pen, but now I use a brush to write, not to mention that it would be troublesome to use a feather, and it is easy to break the paper, so I used lead instead, and the ones next to it were cut by my daughter just enough to fit into the pen. The lead and zinc of the feather tube can be taken out and replaced with new lead and zinc after the foster father has flattened the old lead and zinc. Although this gift is to present you, the Buddha, with your flowers, I still hope you like it.”

After listening to her narration, Wo Yila Khan moved to the desk and took a piece of rice paper to try to write something on without thinking, but as he was writing, his tightly pursed lips gradually curled up. Beautiful arc, "That's right, you girl is really ingenious! This lead-zinc pen is really convenient and tight to write, and it can save paper. It's very good! When I return to work and assassinate, I will order people to mass-produce it!"

Lu Lishi was startled, and quickly added: "Father, although lead-zinc pens are convenient for writing, lead can't withstand moisture, and it's easy to dissolve when it comes into contact with water. Rubbing hard with your fingertips will also make the handwriting become blurry." It's a blur, and the daughter only wants her adoptive father to write down something, make a note, etc., but it's not suitable for a long-term storage tool, so... the foster father can keep it for himself You see, the hole you drilled before is still there, and there is a lanyard that your daughter strung with emerald beads at the bottom of the box, you can still wear it, can't you?"
