"Lu Zheng from Tonglin County, I've met Brother Lin." Lu Zheng raised his hand casually.

"Qingyan, I remembered. I remember hearing that something happened to Huangfu's family a few days ago. The whole family went out and didn't come back until not long ago."

Xiao Yuzhen blinked, leaned sideways against Lin Zhidong, and asked softly, "If there is any difficulty, maybe Lin Lang can help."

Lin Zhidong nodded repeatedly when he heard this, looking forward to it. She was quite proud of herself, "That's right. Our Lin family is quite famous in Wanfu County. Our family's business is spread over hundreds of miles around, so we are quite capable."

Liu Qingyan shook her head and said, "No need, the matter has been resolved. There is no difficulty now. Thank you very much."

"Really?" Xiao Yuzhen nodded, feeling relieved, but then she immediately said, " Qingyan, we sisters have known each other since childhood. If you have any difficulties, please don't be polite to me."

Lu Zheng glanced sideways at Liu Qingyan, who was also a little helpless. .

Liu Qingyan waved her hand and immediately changed the subject, "I'm not polite to you, but I didn't expect you to be engaged."

Xiao Yuzhen raised her eyebrows and smiled. He proudly approached Lin Zhidong again, "Lin Lang and I met at the Tingshan Poetry Recital last autumn. Now the betrothal gift has been given and we will get married in winter."

"Congratulations." Liu Qingyan said.

"Hee hee, thank you very much, we are all happy together." Xiao Yuzhen looked happy, turned to look at Lu Zheng, and asked softly, "I think Qingyan, you have also found your lover, I don't know. What kind of person is this young master to be favored by Qingyan?"

"I'm sorry, he's just an idler." Lu Zheng said lightly.

Lu Zheng could tell that Xiao Yuzhen and Liu Qingyan should have been neighbors who had known each other since childhood. They might have had some feelings for each other since they had known each other for many years, but most of the time they didn't deal with each other.

Obviously, Liu Qingyan crushed Xiao Yuzhen.

Now that Liu Qingyan has moved away, Xiao Yuzhen has found a talented and wealthy fiancé. This is because she wants to find a sense of presence in front of Liu Qingyan.

Typical diaosi mentality of becoming a nouveau riche.

Of course Liu Qingyan didn't care, and Lu Zheng had no intention of pretending to be a slap in the face, so he casually dealt with it and sent them away. It was only right for the two of them to continue shopping hand in hand.

So Lu Zheng said something perfunctory, nodded at the two of them, took Liu Qingyan and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he took two steps, Lin Zhidong and Xiao Yuzhen caught up with him.

“Since Miss Liu is Yuzhen’s friend, she is naturally my friend.”

Lin Zhidong smiled and said, "We happen to have nothing to do, how about having dinner together at noon?

The chef at Huiyuan Building in the city only cooks four tables a day, so I don't know how to do it. , and the noodles are quite thin, you can ask the chef to make an exception."

"Qingyan, the chef of Huiyuan Building makes it himself. It tastes very good. The private room on the top floor overlooks the county. The scenery is also good. How about going together? ?”

“No need, let’s just stroll around the county town. Compared to Huiyuanlou, I want to try the snacks I often bought before.”

Liu Qingyan He replied lightly and came to an old stew shop on the street.

"Aunt Fu, bring me a braised chicken."

The fat aunt who was looking at the store looked up, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise, "Oh, Isn’t this Qingyan? I heard that your family moved away last year and are you coming back?”

“No, I came back to visit my relatives.” Liu Qingyan smiled and handed over a handful of copper coins. "It's still fifty cents, right?"

"Yes, yes, Aunt Fu operates with integrity and never increases prices." Aunt Fu put the handful of copper coins into the drawer without counting the money. Inside, he picked out the fattest and largest braised chicken, wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to Liu Qingyan.

“Thank you, Aunt Fu.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome, oh, this young man is so handsome, congratulations!”

Liu Qing Yan's face turned red, and Lu Zheng returned the favor with a smile.

The two turned around, and Lin Zhidong and Xiao Yuzhen followed them again.

Gu/span "Miss Liu never forgets the past, Xiaosheng admires her very much." Lin Zhidong praised him, "But this braised chicken can't be eaten as lunch, and it's a dish that Xiaosheng will serve as the host, with the two After a while, it happened that Miss Liu and Yuzhen had not seen each other for more than a year, so it was just a good time to reminisce about their old friendship."

Lin Zhidong praised Liu Qingyan again. Only then did Xiao Yuzhen realize that something was wrong and looked at Lin Zhidong cautiously. , found that he was looking at Lu Zheng, so he felt relieved and smiled at Liu Qingyan, "Yes, yes, I also want to ask where you have been."

Lin Zhidong looked Xiang Lu Zheng, "I wonder what fame Brother Lu has now?"

Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Lin Zhidong smiled and said, "Now that the county examination has passed, next autumn, I wonder how Brother Lu is doing? We can make friends through literature and communicate more."

Lu Zheng He replied lightly, "I have no fame."

Lin Zhidong's eyes flashed, and Xiao Yuzhen looked at Lu Zheng in surprise when he heard this, and then at Liu Qingyan.

Liu Qingyan’s family is knowledgeable. Although she comes from a family of doctors, her literary talent is not as good as hers.He is also very famous in the neighborhood. How come he has found a scholar who can't even pass the examination?

Could it be...

Lin Zhidong said "Oh", looking quite proud, and continued to ask, "I wonder what kind of business Brother Lu's family does?

My Lin family is not well-known in the surrounding area. Our family has thousands of acres of fertile land and runs cloth farms, wineries and grain stores. Maybe we can help each other with Brother Lu’s family?”

Since he has accomplished nothing in his studies, does that mean his family is rich?

"No need, I have a sugar shop at home, producing and selling sugar by myself."

"Oh -" Lin Zhidong nodded, finally understood, and looked towards There was a hint of disdain in Lu Zheng's eyes, and there was even more eagerness in Liu Qingyan's eyes.

It turns out that I am a small workshop owner, and someone like you can win over such a beauty. It seems that I think highly of you.

Xiao Yuzhen was even happier, she finally defeated Liu Qingyan.

“Speaking of sugar shops, although my family does not run the business, we are familiar with the shopkeeper of Liuji Refined Candy in the city.”

Lin Zhidong said to him with a smile on his face. He said, "How about I introduce you to each other? You must know that Liu Ji has his own secret recipe and has opened a shop in the state capital.

Let me be the host and ask Liu Ji to provide you with some at a low price. Goods, maybe you can open the store to Yizhou Prefecture."

"No, thank you."

Lu Zheng shook his head and walked in front with Liu Qingyan , already a little impatient.

"Miss Liu, Brother Lu..." Lin Zhidong wanted to say more.

Lu Zheng suddenly turned around, "Master Lin."

"Huh?" Lin Zhidong frowned.

"You two are staying, we just want to stroll around by ourselves without disturbing you two." Lu Zheng said calmly.

Xiao Yuzhen curled her lips and said that it was Lin Zhidong's excellence that put him under pressure.

But now that she was showing off, Xiao Yuzhen didn't want Lin Zhidong to have more contact with Liu Qingyan, so she pulled Lin Zhidong's sleeve.

However, Lin Zhidong obviously did not want to say goodbye.

"Brother Lu, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away? You must know that whether you are studying or doing business, you must..."

"Sure!"

Lu Zheng pointed a finger, and Lin Zhidong froze in place instantly.
