Hold His Hand

In the original plot, Xie Chengze didn't talk much to the original owner at first, but what Lu Yanzhou wanted was not the original owner's treatment.

He gave Xie Chengze food with a smile: "My lord, you are so thin, you should eat more."

Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou coldly. When he wanted to please people, he would make people feel extremely comfortable, but when he looked at people with a cold face, it would also make people fearful.

In the past, when he looked at people like this, the people around him were silent and did not dare to say a word.

But Lu Yanzhou in front of him still had a playful smile: "My lord, I'm a good cook, can I use the kitchen? I can cook for you."

Xie Chengze has seen countless people. When people around him flatter him, he can always see disdain or greed in their eyes, but the eyes of the person in front of him are particularly clean, full of love for him.

This man is too good at acting, too good at disguising.

What's even more frightening is that because of this disguise, he was even moved.

Xie Chengze blinked his eyes and opened them again, then said, "Yes."

After eating, Xie Chengze left quickly, and at the same time summoned the four Nanshan guards that Sheng Yuan had found for him.

The looks are very ordinary, very good.

When this thought came to his mind, Xie Chengze quickly suppressed it and despised himself a little.

He met Lu Yanzhou only a few times, why did he get dizzy?Even the people around that person can't wait to find some ugly ones.

But in fact, Lu Yanzhou doesn't like men at all, he likes women.

And he is not even a man.

Xie Chengze regained his composure and said, "The four of you take turns, keep an eye on that Lu Yanzhou, don't let him get hurt, and don't let him leave the house for the time being. As for his actions in the house, there is no need to restrict him."

He wants to observe to see if this person is suitable to be his "favored" person.

"Yes, master." The four Nanshan guards responded.

Xie Chengze asked them to leave, and after they left, he called Sheng Yuan and asked him to arrange someone to investigate Lu Yanzhou in detail.

He had checked Lu Yanzhou before, but he didn't ask the people around Lu Yanzhou because he was afraid of being alarmed.

He wants to check again.

Xie Chengze made arrangements and entered the palace.

It was already high in the sun at this time, but the time was just right—it was basically this time to wake up today.

As soon as he entered the palace, Xie Chengze heard the emperor scolding people, so he didn't go in hastily, but first inquired about the situation.

His Majesty the Emperor has a backache, which is the reason why he was furious today.

Xie Chengze immediately asked someone to find someone who is good at massage, and asked for hot water towels, and went in with a basin and low eyebrows.

At the same time, Lu Yanzhou waited for Nanshanwei.

These four people were named Xie Jia, Xie B, Xie B, and Xie Ding respectively, following Xie Chengze's surname.

They are his guards arranged by Xie Chengze, and they are also his guards. They will follow him in turn in the future.

These four people have resolute faces, and they are not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although in this era, people aged [-] or [-] work like adults, Lu Yanzhou still feels like he is using child labor.

Looking back on the memory of the original owner... Every time the original owner was in a bad mood, he would secretly beat and scold the four of them, and Lu Yanzhou was even a little embarrassed.

However, the fate of these four people was better than that of the original owner. Before Xie Chengze died with the original owner, he had already arranged for these four people and his confidantes, and even gave them a bright future.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yanzhou, can you take me to the kitchen?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

Xie Jia and Xie B took Lu Yanzhou to the kitchen.

Xie Chengze loves cleanliness. The kitchen in his house is quite clean, cleaner than any kitchen the original owner has seen before.

They are cooking utensils, there are ceramics, bronze and iron, but there is no iron pot that Lu Yanzhou is familiar with.

There are also few seasonings, but fortunately there are several kinds of sauces, even soy sauce.

Adding these together, it is barely usable.

Lu Yanzhou planned to cook something delicious, so he asked the chef in the kitchen to learn more about cooking...

Then I was told that they would also use oil for cooking, but lard is very precious, and there are very few kitchens, so they can't use it more.

Besides...the kitchen didn't have all kinds of vegetables that Lu Yanzhou wanted.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." The original owner has never seen cooking in his memory, but obviously, the upper class people in this country already know how to cook with oil.

At this time, few people use vegetable oil, and there are few animal oils, so people don't do it.

This is... It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, before Xie Chengze came back, Lu Yanzhou fumbled to make two dishes, one was scrambled eggs and the other was mutton pie.

It smells pretty good.

After putting the dishes in the kitchen to warm up, Lu Yanzhou went to wait at the door, but after waiting for a long time, he finally waited for Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze, who came home later than usual, saw Lu Yanzhou waiting for him with a smile, and suddenly wanted to laugh too.

But he quickly restrained the smile.

"My lord, I made two dishes for you, would you like to try them?" Lu Yanzhou asked with a smile.

Xie Chengze knew that the person in front of him wanted to please him, so he didn't refuse: "Okay."

The mutton pie made by Lu Yanzhou is crispy. He used a lot of lard under the chef's distressed eyes, and it was fragrant and crispy.

Not to mention scrambled eggs, this is definitely an easy and tasty dish.

Xie Chengze obviously didn't find the scrambled eggs novel, but the noodle cake, after he took two bites, he asked, "How is this made?"

Lu Yanzhou didn't hide anything and said it directly.

Xie Chengze said: "It's the first time our family has eaten such bread, it's delicious."

"I'll make it for you next time, and I can make other things for you," Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze asked suddenly: "What do you want?"

"It's good to stay by your side, my lord." Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze took another bite of the bread in his hand: "You are very good at coaxing people."

"I'm telling the truth."

Of course, Xie Chengze would not believe that Lu Yanzhou was telling the truth. He had seen many people like Lu Yanzhou, and many eunuchs in the palace were like this.

They can greet people they dislike with a smile, but if they turn around, they will definitely take revenge.

Xie Chengze chuckled: "Then you will stay with our family all the time."

This person had a great influence on him, and he actually had the idea of ​​sending this person away just now.

But since he wants to stay, let's stay.

After speaking, Xie Chengze turned around and left.

Lu Yanzhou: "..." It's really heartless.

But he is still living well in Xie Chengze's house, the original owner can't afford to eat meat every day!

Xie Chengze went to the study to deal with some affairs.

As a result, not long after he entered, he heard a knock on the door. The person next to him opened the door, and he saw Lu Yanzhou holding a teapot.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Chengze asked with a frown.

"Bringing tea to you, my lord," Lu Yanzhou laughed, "My lord, can I stay here and read?"

Xie Chengze obviously avoided him, so he had to take the initiative.

He believed that Xie Chengze would not reject him.

Think about it carefully... He was with Xie Chengze before, and Xie Chengze never refused him.

Xie Chengze asked, "Do you know how to read?"

Lu Yanzhou smiled again: "My lord, I can learn."

Xie Chengze turned his head away from Lu Yanzhou's smile: "You think learning to read is so easy?"

"Even if I learn one a day, if I take my time, I can always learn a lot of words." Lu Yanzhou said.

Xie Chengze took out a piece of paper, wanted to write something, and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

He knew the name of the person in front of him, but...he really didn't want to ask?

"My name is Lu Yanzhou." Lu Yanzhou said, the name of the original owner was given by the original owner's mother, which is different from the people around.

Speaking of which, the original owner's mother was actually literate and the daughter of a small family. Later, the whole family was sold before being bought back by the original owner's father.

It's a pity that she died early, and she didn't have time to teach the original owner.

Xie Chengze wrote "Lu Yanzhou" on the paper and handed it to Lu Yanzhou: "This is your name."

Lu Yanzhou took the paper and asked again: "My lord, can I use pen and ink?"

"Yes." Xie Chengze said.

Lu Yanzhou took a pen and dipped it in ink, and next to his name written by Xie Chengze, he wrote "Lu Yanzhou".

He controlled it a bit and didn't write the characters very well, but they were still correct and the strokes were correct.

Xie Chengze kept looking at Lu Yanzhou, and couldn't help being stunned when he saw this scene.

He thought for a while, took back the paper on which he had written, and handed Lu Yanzhou another blank paper: "You try writing again."

Lu Yanzhou only had a blank piece of paper without reference, but he still wrote his name stroke by stroke, there was nothing wrong with it.

Xie Chengze stood up abruptly. He stared at Lu Yanzhou for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Come whenever you want to read a book. I will teach you how to read."

"Thank you, you are so kind." Lu Yanzhou smiled at Xie Chengze.

Xie Chengze's heartbeat quickened again. He thought for a while, took out a book, read a sentence to Lu Yanzhou, and wrote down that line of words on a white paper. While writing, he read it again.

After finishing writing, he asked Lu Yanzhou: "Can you read this sentence?"

"Yes." Lu Yanzhou said.

"You learn first." Xie Chengze asked Lu Yanzhou to learn.

Lu Yanzhou took the book and honestly went to the side to write.

He deliberately showed it in front of Xie Chengze, and he couldn't... really make Xie Chengze feel that he is a bastard.

After a while, Lu Yanzhou copied the line twice, and Xie Chengze asked him to write on the blank paper again, and when he found that his writing was correct, he looked at him in shock.

Lu Yanzhou... unexpectedly has a photographic memory!
