Mrs. Rebirth

Chapter 229

Zuo Shaoqing blushed and got into the carriage, belatedly realizing that he had done something embarrassing just now, while Lu Zheng, on the other hand, still had a natural demeanor, as expected of being tempered by thousands of troops.

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed his face, hooked Chao Yin's fingers, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Luo Xiaoliu looked at the two of them curiously, wondering what immoral thing his third master asked Yin Yi to do.

But... does this mean that he escaped a catastrophe temporarily today?I hope that if I have a bad memory, I will forget what happened just now tomorrow.

Yin looked at Luo Xiaoliu's secretly happy expression from the corner of his eye and knew what he was thinking, and the corners of his cold mouth relaxed a bit, then he drove the carriage to the most lively street in Kyoto.

When they came to a crowded place, Zuo Shaoqing pulled Lu Zheng out of the carriage, and Zuo Xiaolang was held in his arms so as not to be scattered by the crowd.

"It's really lively." It was the first time for Zuo Shaoqing to go shopping in such a leisurely way after coming to Kyoto for such a long time.

"It's even more lively during the Lantern Festival."

Luo Xiaoliu echoed from the side: "I heard that on the Lantern Festival, if you can receive a lantern made by your loved one, the two of you will live happily ever after."

He looked at Yinyi expectantly, but felt that he would definitely not be able to do such a thing, so he curled his lips in failure.

Zuo Shaoqing coughed dryly, trying not to look at Lu Zheng's expression.

"Find a place to eat first, the little thing should be hungry."

When Zuo Xiaolang heard that there was something to eat, his eyes lit up. Even though he is full from three meals a day, he is still most obsessed with food.

Zuo Shaoqing patted his stomach, "It is said that the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, but our little wolf's belly may not be as small as the prime minister's."

Although Zuo Xiaolang didn't understand the meaning of the words, he nodded happily, then pointed to a restaurant and shouted: "Daddy, go there...it smells so good!"

"Dog nose!" Zuo Shaoqing scolded with a smile, and then really carried him in.

After entering, I realized that this is just a very ordinary restaurant, the tables and chairs are a little outdated, and the guests in the lobby are all drinking and eating meat, making a lot of noise.

Zuo Shaoqing frowned, and asked Zuo Xiaolang, "Are you sure you want to eat here?"

Zuo Xiaolang nodded fiercely, his little nose shrugged, "Meat, delicious!"

Zuo Shaoqing replied with a wry smile: "Okay."

When the shopkeeper saw the person coming, he got out of the cabinet immediately in fright, and asked excitedly: "What do you want to order? Small shop... small shop..."

Knowing that he recognized their identities, Zuo Shaoqing didn't care, and asked kindly, "Is there a private room?"

"Yes... yes, but it's quite small."

"It doesn't matter, there are not many of us." Zuo Shaoqing followed behind him, stepping on the creaking stairs to the second floor.

The so-called private room is actually just a small area separated by a screen, with a table and eight chairs, it looks really shabby.

But it’s all here, Zuo Shaoqing didn’t dislike it, and directly explained: “First serve a pot of tea, and then serve some of your signature dishes! More meat!”

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed in response, "Don't worry, the portion must be enough." He trotted downstairs, grabbed a waiter and asked him to go to the teahouse diagonally opposite to buy a pot of high-quality Longjing, just the low-grade tea in their restaurant, He really can't do it.

The waiter was at a loss, he didn't understand what kind of guests could make the boss so excited, so he generously bought a pot of good tea for two taels of silver.

The shopkeeper urged him to go quickly, then went to the back kitchen, ordered the menu himself, and supervised the chef from beginning to end, pointing and pointing at the same time, sometimes he thought the plate was not good-looking, and sometimes he thought the vegetables were cut thick and thin , the chef was so angry that he almost hit him with a spoon.

After the six dishes and one soup were ready, the shopkeeper brought the dishes up himself, and stammered, "Several...Master, the shop doesn't have much to offer, just... just the barbecue is good. Let's try it. Try it."

Zuo Xiaolang's eyes were green, staring straight at the roast leg of lamb on one of the large plates, the rich aroma made his mouth water.

Zuo Shaoqing knocked on him, "It's a good thing I didn't eat in the Zuo Mansion, otherwise Mrs. Xue will see you like this, and I don't know what to say."

Zuo Xiaolang looked at him half-understanding, "That old woman is so ugly!" In the eyes of children, beauty and ugliness are always divided according to good and bad.

Zuo Shaoqing also acquiesced to this kind of talk, and cut a few slices of meat and handed them to him. Watching him eat happily, he suddenly felt his appetite greatly increased.

After eating for a while, the shopkeeper came in with another pot of wine, "This is my own brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine, which is quite famous, so you can drink it if you don't mind."

"The shopkeeper is bothering you. The food is good, and the kid likes it very much." Zuo Shaoqing accepted the shopkeeper's kindness with a smile.

The shopkeeper looked at Zuo Xiaolang, who was eating happily, and felt a little puzzled about the child's origin, but he didn't dare to ask casually, and just praised: "The young master has a very good appetite. If you like it, I will send someone to let me know later. The little one will be sent to your house."

Zuo Shaoqing knew that there were not many opportunities like this, so he didn't refuse, "Then thank the shopkeeper first."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

The six dishes and one soup were all very filling, but everyone in the room except Zuo Shaoqing ate a lot, and in the end they ate too much.

He looked at the big one, and then at the small one, feeling deeply disturbed, how could he afford such a father and son who could eat?

Perhaps his gaze was too straightforward, Zuo Xiaolang raised his head, skillfully sliced ​​off the last piece of meat with a knife and handed it to Zuo Shaoqing, "Daddy, eat!"

Zuo Shaoqing took it, turned her head and stuffed it into Lu Zheng's mouth, and said with a smile, "Your son honors you."

Lu Zheng secretly licked his fingers, the old god chewed and swallowed freely, Zuo Shaoqing was so angry that he rolled his eyes at him.

After eating and drinking enough, Zuo Shaoqing washed Zuo Xiaolang's hands and wiped his hands. If Zuo Xiaolang has anything to dissatisfy him, it's personal hygiene. If he wants him to take a bath, Zuo Shaoqing doesn't go out Absolutely no one can force him, oh, except Lu Zheng.

He rubbed his short hair, which was less than an inch long, put on a cotton cap, and then whispered to Lu Zheng, "I agree with what you said earlier."

Lu Zheng paused for a moment before he realized what he was referring to, "If you don't want to, don't face it."

"No, after what happened today, I realized that as long as Zuo Xiaolang doesn't enter the family tree of the Duke of Zhen, he won't be recognized by others. It's not good for him."

"The surname on the genealogy can be changed, and you can call him whatever you want on weekdays." Zuo Xiaolang and Lu Xiaolang are no different to him.

"Lu Xiaolan...it seems to be more pleasant to be Zuo Xiaolan." Zuo Shaoqing admitted reluctantly that after taking the surname Lu, she always felt a little empty in her heart.

Hearing his name, Zuo Xiaolang looked at him suspiciously, and was pushed into his arms by Zuo Shaoqing the next moment, "Little thing, behave well in the future, don't embarrass the Duke of Zhen, or Daddy will be the first to let you go!" Pass you!"

Zuo Xiaolang didn't know why, but he nodded obediently.

Zuo Shaoqing sighed, it seems that the education that he planned to be a foreign worker before has to be really grasped. With a new identity, Zuo Xiaolang's way of life should also be changed.

Lu Zheng hugged his shoulders, and said softly, "It happens that the emperor will come to the mansion tomorrow, and let him meet the little thing so that he looks familiar."

Zuo Shaoqing just remembered that there is still such a thing, "Did we forget to tell mother first? The manor always needs to make some preparations."

"It doesn't matter, since the emperor wants to pay a private visit, he won't care about it." Anyway, his target is not them, "It's Cao Zongguan, you send someone to send invitations tonight."

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed his chin, and asked with complicated eyes: "Why do I feel that this matter is so weird? Why is the emperor suddenly interested in Brother Cao? He still looks like he must see or not."

Lu Zheng has a bold guess, but it will depend on tomorrow's situation to confirm it. If this matter is true, the recent rumors in Kyoto can be understood.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, don't think too much."

Zuo Shaoqing frowned, always feeling that Lu Zheng knew something that he didn't know, and it was really uncomfortable to feel his curiosity being aroused.

But since Lu Zheng didn't want to talk about it, he just dug it himself, and he didn't believe that he couldn't dig it out.

Back at the mansion, Zuo Shaoqing took a pen and wrote Cao Zongguan's invitation card. Between the lines, it was secretly revealed that an "expert" wanted to meet him, and asked him to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion at noon tomorrow.

When Cao Zongguan received the post, he was sitting alone drinking under the moon, and he had not entered the palace for 28 days. During this period, Zhan Yuanfeng also summoned several times, but he refused because he was unwell.

I don't know if that person will be angry, but he didn't think about getting rid of Zhan Yuanfeng. After all, the two had a deal first, but the rumors were too tight recently, so he didn't dare to take risks.

After reading Zuo Shaoqing's post, Cao Zongguan had a bad premonition. The one Zuo Shaoqing carefully wrote on the post, and also known as the "superior", must be that one, right?

Fortunately, he could figure it out, Cao Zongguan closed the post and asked the housekeeper to prepare a congratulatory gift for him to go to the banquet tomorrow.

Let's see, it's broad daylight, and it's in the Duke's mansion, and that person can't do anything to him, so what's there to be afraid of?
