How to work

Chapter 18

Early the next morning, Lu Li began to coax Zhao Zhu into being his personal bodyguard.

He thought it was not easy.Because judging from Zhao Zhu's performance, although he was a bit stupid, he didn't seem to have lost his mind. This person has a strong aura, and he must be very assertive. It must be difficult to convince him.Before speaking, Lu Li went through a lot of hypothetical scenarios in his mind. If Zhao Zhu objects to him, how should he respond.

But he didn't expect it, he just tried to mention, "Anyway, you have amnesia and can't remember the past and don't know where to go. I just need a helper here. I need to be able to read and understand martial arts... Do you want to be mine?" personal assistant? ’, Zhao Zhu nodded in agreement immediately.

Lu Li: ...

"Don't you ask me what I need you to do?" He looked up and down at Zhao Zhu, he didn't look like someone who is particularly stupid and easy to be deceived...

"No need." Zhao Zhu raised his chin slightly, his expression was solemn and his voice was unbearably steady, "There is nothing in the world that I cannot do."

this crazy...

Lu Li caressed his forehead: ...Okay.

Because he bought enough charcoal, the fire that was lit yesterday was not extinguished. Lu Li took out Zhao Zhu's medicine, threw it into a medicine jar, added water and put it on the fire to fry.While cooking the medicine, he planned to go to Zhang's next door to order breakfast.

No way, not only did he not light up the skill points for making a fire, but he also couldn't cook.It's not impossible to go out to buy, but after listening to Shen Wansha's words yesterday, he had to go to Zhang's house to have a look.

Lu Li clapped his hands and walked out the door, Zhao Zhu frowned and followed.

Lu Li smiled and waved his hands, "I'm going to get breakfast, you don't have to follow me, just watch the fire."

Zhao Zhu folded his arms and said nothing, with a calm expression of 'I've made a decision and I will never change it'.

Lu Li didn't care, anyway, he'll be back soon.

He walked to the wall, hugged the big stone, and piled it hard—a large hole was revealed. The hole was smooth, and it was obviously used frequently.

Lu Li lay down on the ground very naturally, crawled over, and waited for Zhao Zhu on the opposite side for a long time, "Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Zhu was here facing the hole with a dark face, his eyebrows twitching.

bold!presumptuous!Let him go through a dog hole!

Thinking that he would lose his dignity by going through a dog hole, can he be suppressed by him!

Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, turned and left.

Lu Li touched his chin when he heard Zhao Zhuyuan's footsteps, did he feel ashamed?But he can jump over walls, doesn't he have martial arts?If I knew how to do light work, I wouldn't take this effort.

But it's good for him to go back and watch the fire.

Lu Li smiled and walked into the courtyard, "Aunt Cao, I'm here—"

The atmosphere of the Zhang family is okay, not as bad as he imagined.Zhang Meng was in good spirits, smiling and full of energy. Aunt Cao was also gentle and loving. When she saw him coming, she asked about his physical condition.

"I'm fine, so don't worry about it, Auntie. Where's Uncle Zhang?" Lu Li looked around, but there was no sign of Zhang Yong.

"The errand came in a hurry, so I left early," Aunt Cao wiped her hands and prepared to go to the kitchen, "I'll get you the steamed stuffed bun just out of the pan."

Lu Li didn't expect Zhang Yong to leave so early, and he didn't make it in time to see him off, "Oh no, I'll go by myself, I haven't had time to tell you that I saved someone yesterday, and now I'm staying at my place, and I don't know how to cook , I just want to come over and rub against my aunt." While talking to Mrs. Cao, he winked at Zhang Meng, indicating that he heard that he had stalked Zhang Yong yesterday.

Zhang Meng blushed, patted his chest, and pointed at Cao Shi, indicating that he is a man now, so he will not be so childish, he has to take care of his mother!

Seeing him like this, Lu Li was really relieved.

Cao was worried, and asked Lu Li seriously, "What kind of person is he? Will there be danger? It's good to have a kind heart, but not all people outside are good..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Cao, I know how to measure. If you can't let go, I'll bring him over for dinner later..." Lu Li smiled, "Anyway, I always have to trouble Aunt Cao."

"You are not allowed to say anything out of the ordinary. Aunt Cao is very happy that you are here!" Mrs. Cao took Lu Li to the kitchen to get buns. Thinking that there was someone else, she quickly made a pot of egg soup and put it in an earthenware pot for serving. Lu Li took it back together.

Lu Li thanked Zhang Meng and told Zhang Meng to play with him later, and left.

It was inconvenient to drill holes with clay jars. Fortunately, Lu Li was thin, so he drilled many times. First he pushed the clay jars over, and then he drilled while lying down with the buns in his arms. He came back smoothly.

Zhao Zhu's face was still dark.

Lu Li smiled brightly at him, showing his sharp little canine teeth. Zhao Zhumeng's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Lu Li laughed heartily, put the buns and soup on the table, "Eat!"

Zhao Zhu came back to his senses with a gloomy face and refused to speak, which happened to make the breakfast time pass smoothly.After breakfast, and the medicine was gone, Zhao Zhu didn't want to take the medicine, so he stared straight at the grass on the wall outside the window, pretending not to see it.

Lu Li knocked on the table with a half-smile, "Don't say you are such a mighty and strong man, you are afraid of taking medicine."

Zhao Zhu gave him a sideways glance, with a contemptuous expression of "how could I be so naive to be afraid of taking medicine", picked up the medicine bowl and drank it down to the last drop.

Lu Li: ...

I didn't tell you to drink it so fast, just after pouring it out for a while, you should hang it out, so you don't have to worry about burning your throat!

……

Lu Li thought that today was still a peaceful day, and he would spend it sitting and reading a book with Zhao Zhu, but he didn't expect that just after sitting down for a while, the small door leading to Liu's house opened, and Mama Wang stood still. Zhang Lian walked over, "Master Lu, Madam invites you... ah—"

How many times I have been here, Ms. Wang knows where the door opens and where the road goes with her eyes closed. This young master with a foreign surname who is not valued can't turn the world around. She didn't even look at Lu Li, and pushed the door open Just talking, how can I think that there is a person sitting on the bed directly opposite!

This person is very tall, with a straight back and an imposing manner. Just sitting there can make people subconsciously tremble. It's too scary!

Especially this person squinted his eyes and stared at her coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied.Mama Wang suddenly felt her neck was a little cold, and subconsciously flinched.Later, I felt wrong, this is the Liu family's territory!

She straightened her back, boldly pointed at this person, and looked at Lu Li, "Who is this? I didn't say that, if the young master wants to invite friends to sit at home, he has to talk to his wife."

Just as Lu Li put on a cold face, before he could speak, he saw Zhao Zhu sweeping his sleeve, and Mama Wang flew out of the door...

She fell hard to the ground, still on her face, screaming.

Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhu, "You..."

Zhao Zhu closed his eyes slightly, and said a word very indifferently, "Noisy."

Lu Li felt more and more that Zhao Zhu must have been an officer before retiring from the army. This natural and natural domineering aura is not something ordinary people can have.

Looking at Mama Wang who was writhing in pain outside the door, the corners of Lu Li's lips trembled.Well, I thought it would be good to deal with Feng's a little bit today, but adding this one, I'm afraid it will not be that simple.

But... he is not afraid.

Lu Li laughed after thinking about it, he had to take a good look at what kind of person Feng was.

He stood up, straightened his clothes, and pointed in the direction of Liu's house, "I'll go over and talk about something, and I'll be back in a while, please take care of the house."

Zhao Zhu was once again displeased with Lu Li's words, and waved his hands like chasing flies, "You are annoying too!"

"Mother Wang?" Lu Li walked outside the door, looked at the people on the ground with a smile, "Can you go? Do you want me to call some people to help you?"

Ms. Wang lost her two front teeth and her whole body hurt, but the pain improved a lot after she rolled a few times. She covered her mouth and stood up, glaring at Lu Li—thinking that she would be fine if she said something nice. up?I will sue you well today and let my wife take care of you!

After Lu Li left, Zhao Zhu snapped his fingers, and Xing Zuo floated in from the window, "My lord."

"Go watch."

Mother Wang took a shortcut and took Lu Li outside Feng's courtyard, and told him to wait, before she went in first.

Lu Li knew that this was a complaint.

He turned his head and looked around.Mrs. Feng is the mistress of the third house of the Liu family. She lives in a nice place. The verandahs in the courtyard are quiet, the windows are exquisite, there are flowers and grass, and there are several pots of extremely elegant and magnificent bonsai.

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, a maid came to invite Lu Li in.

Feng Shi was waiting for him in the main hall.

The living room is full of huanghuali furniture, and the decorations are all dark golden and bright yellow, making the whole room very luxurious.Mrs. Feng wore a cinnamon-colored dress embroidered with rich and noble chrysanthemums, and a suet jade ring on the skirt, and sat on the exquisitely carved arhat couch.

She was leaning against a pillow with python pattern of money thread, wearing a full set of red gold and ruby ​​inlaid on her head, wearing a light peach blossom makeup, her small face with long eyebrows and sandalwood mouth, she looked very delicate and gentle.

"Li'er is here, sit down." She smiled slightly, and Su pointed to the round stool on the left.

Lu Li didn't say anything about meeting the elders, and sat down directly.

Feng Shi was not surprised, as if he was used to this behavior.

Lu Li was a little puzzled.Even if no one taught the original body etiquette, but the original body is a nerd, has read a lot of books, and the books are not related to autopsy, he should know the secular rules, even if he doesn't know, Aunt Cao should have taught him, Feng's expression is impressive, the original body Seems like it doesn't respect her.

Should be dissatisfied...

Lu Li then understood how to deal with Feng Shi.

Feng picked up the teacup, and casually brushed off the froth with the lid, "I just heard that you beat Mama Wang when you were entertaining guests at home?"

"Can't I entertain guests at home?" Lu Li's expression was cold, and his voice was quite self-deprecating, "Yes, my surname is Lu, and the people here are surnamed Liu, not my family. If my aunt is not happy, I'll just move out."

Feng's movement paused, and he looked at Lu Li quietly, "When did I say that you can't entertain guests? It's just that you are still young and don't know how to distinguish character. A guest who will fight at the master's house is not good to the master. It would be too respectful, I am just worried that you will be cheated."

Lu Li's expression became even colder, "Isn't Mama Wang a servant of the family? When will the servants who can be bought and sold with just one body deed be so noble and weak that they can't be beaten?"

He looked straight into Feng's eyes, "Auntie, Mama Wang is disrespectful to me, the guest can't see it, so punish her for me. In fact, if the guest doesn't make a move, I will do it too. Auntie...can't bear it?"

Feng Shi was surprised, Lu Li has always been indifferent, it's true that he didn't want to see her, but he rarely confronted her.

She turned her eyes slightly, put down the teacup, and smiled slightly, "It's just a servant, there's nothing you can't bear. Since she offended you, it's okay to punish her. But Xiaoli, your parents are dead, and the only wish before you go is to let you Married to Prince Ping, although Prince Ping has been busy with state affairs and the future, but there are many gifts every year, obviously he values ​​you. You are getting older, and the palace will come to discuss marriage next year. If you are not careful, you will invite gossip To make King Ping angry, this marriage... will be difficult."

Is this to remind him not to steal from his husband?

Or use the death of his parents and the power of the palace to suppress him?

Lu Li looked at Feng Shi silently and didn't speak for a while.

"Come here," Feng Shi beckoned, and a maid in blue bijia came in, holding a bowl of steaming soup in her hand.

Feng asked the servant girl to put the decoction on the table next to Lu Li, "It's the twelfth lunar month, and the ceremonial car from Prince Ping's Mansion will be here. You should give birth to a healthy body, so that people will be happy to see it."

Seeing that Lu Li hadn't moved, she turned the bracelet on her hand, the smile on her face remained unchanged, "You know, I've been saving your dowry all these years, including your mother's things, and I'll give it all to you when you get married. You marry Prince Ping properly, I have fulfilled your mother's last wish, even if I die, I can close my eyes."
