The spring has passed, and it has just rained. The vegetation on both sides of the Xincheng River is lush, and the rising water level has flooded the original gravel on both sides of the river. Now, at first glance, it is full of green and the scenery is even more charming.

Lu Zheng accompanied Ying'er and Qi Biao, and then arrived at Hengwu Bookstore again.

Standing on the dam of Xincheng River, Lu Zheng could not see the rippling river water in the distance. Because the water level floated, the boats on the river were all close to the shore. The carved beams and painted buildings and luxurious and beautiful boats blocked people's sight. The beauty on the boat had not yet woken up from her sleep in the morning mist. The morning here was very quiet.

"Oh, my little husband is stunned again. I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you talking about the smell of my sister's foot washing water again?" The golden pleasure boat's push window was pushed open, and the familiar little face was exposed from the curtain again.

This time the distance was very close. Lu Zheng could see a few small freckles on his face.

The girl did not become ugly because of this flaw, but instead made her look more youthful and energetic.

Lu Zheng smiled and waved at her, "I'm looking for your pleasure boat. I haven't seen my little sister for a long time!"

"Spit!" The girl's face was flushed and spat hard at Lu Zheng, saying, "Children, I'm afraid the hair has not grown yet! My sister has prepared foot washing water for you today. Come and let you drink enough!"

The girl's head retracted into the window, and then a basin of water was poured out.

The water splashed on the bank, splashing gorgeous water, and a few drops really splashed on Lu Zheng.

The girl covered her stomach and laughed loudly, as if she was about to break her waist. Lu Zheng also laughed, but only the shadow behind Lu Zheng showed a look of rage on her face. The girl pointed at Lu Zheng and teased:

"Oh, the girl in the little boy's room is angry. The girl knows jealous when she serves in bed. Be careful that you can't eat when you go back!" The girl said, Fengchen, the woman, speaks unscrupulously. Ying'er's face turned red after hearing such explicit words.

She said, "Young Master, you...you should talk to this fox charmer again, I...I will go back first!"

Lu Zheng waved his hand at the girl on the pleasure boat and said, "You won! Come and ask for advice next day!"

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and followed Ying'er to chase after him.

A silver bell-like laughter sounded again on the pleasure boat.

Since Lu Zheng got the full set of Four Books, he has not come to Hengwu Bookstore for a long time. The key is that conditions do not allow it. After several storms, he cannot go out easily.

Yang Shitou, a servant from the bookstore, missed him very much. When he saw Lu Zheng, he said exaggeratedly: "Oh, Mr. Lu, you haven't come for a few days. The owner of the shopkeeper often talks about you!"

Lu Zheng gave Qi Biao a color. Qi Biao raised his hand and threw a few pieces of broken silver to the kid.

Yang Shitou weighed the amount of money, and he had a good amount of silver. The smile on his face became even stronger. He bent down and said, "Please, please!"

"Is the boss here?" Lu Zheng said.

This time he came to Gu Zhilun, so he went straight to the point.

"Here! I'm reading in the backyard study room and I'm here early in the morning!"

"If someone else came here, the young man would not dare to bring people there no matter what. But Mr. Lu, you are here, I will take you there now!"

Yang Shitou was brisk in his footsteps. Lu Zheng followed him to the backyard of the bookstore and found that there was a unique world here.

At this glance, I saw the green bamboo paths on both sides, the stone paths meandered, leading directly to a small building near the river. The green bamboo bushes are covered with moss, which shows the simplicity and quiet atmosphere. It is really a good place.

Lu Zheng left Qi Biao outside, and walked on the path of the sausage stone with Ying'er.

"Uncle Gu Shi is really a elegant man!" Lu Zheng said.

Ying'er raised her eyebrows slightly and was very satisfied with this place. Her eyes were flowing, looking around, and suddenly she said "Ah..."

Lu Zheng followed Ying'er's gaze and saw a plaque hanging above the building with the words "Hengwuzhai". These three characters are flying and flying, with vigorous pen and elegant style. At first glance, they are from the hands of everyone.

Gu Zhilun was studying in the study in the small building. Lu Zheng stopped him and did not let Yang Shitou report. He asked Ying'er to wait outside and walked slowly into the study.

There are four large rooms in the study, and there is no separation between them. Gu Zhilun sat behind a large rosewood case. On the case are there are ten directions of treasure inkstones and various pen holders. The brushes inside the pen holder are densely packed like green bamboo forests outside.

There are blooming cuckoos inside the large Ru kiln flower bags, and there is also a large cauldron on the table. There is a large plate on the rosewood shelf next to the large cauldron. The plate is filled with fresh vegetables and fruits, which is particularly eye-catching.

Around the big case, there were bookshelfs, and there were books on it. When I stepped in, Lu Zheng was immediately intoxicated by the tranquility here, and felt that the dust and hustle and hustle were escaping and his heart was relaxed.

Gu Zhilun was reading the Book of Songs. His voice was ups and downs, shaking his head, and he was immersed in the artistic conception of poetry, only to dance.

After reading a poem, his eyes opened a thin slit. When he saw Lu Zheng at first sight, he couldn't help but say, "Ah...", "Lu Zheng bowed properly and said, "Uncle Gu Shi, the uninvited guest came uninvited, a little abrupt! I really didn't expect that Uncle Shi was such an elegant person. There was such an elegant study room in the backyard of Hengwu Bookstore. He is worthy of being a book lover and a scholar!"

"Oh, Brother Zheng, if you praise me again, I will have no place to put my old face!" Gu Zhilun said, and he immediately called the girl to tea.

The girl who served Gu Zhilun was gentle and friendly, with a good temperament. Yingying presented tea to Lu Zheng and stood behind Gu Zhilun in a pretty way.

"Brother Zheng'er, I haven't seen you here for a long time. Could it be that I have been working hard at home and preparing to end the spring exam next year?" Gu Zhilun said.

Lu Zheng said: "Uncle Gu Shi, I am ashamed. I live in Yangzhou and live under someone else's roof. The most difficult part is that I can't make progress in my studies. Whenever my nephew thinks about it, he feels like he is sitting on pins and needles and needles, and is anxious, but he is helpless."

Lu Zheng was very nervous. Gu Zhilun smiled faintly, but he refused to respond directly. He said:

"Is there something wrong with Brother Zheng coming here today? Brother is here with me but I say it's okay. Call me Uncle Shi. As long as Uncle Shi can help, I have no choice!" Gu Zhilun said with a smile.

He smiled on his face, but he was thinking in his heart.

As a shrewd businessman, after Gu Zhilun went to Jiangning to settle Lu Zheng's foundation, he returned to Yangzhou. He asked people from many sources to inquire about Lu Zheng's situation.

Judging from all the feedback, Lu Zheng is in an extremely bad situation. His illegitimate son, who is not tolerated by his mistress, was sent to his mistress's mother's home to live in. His future can be imagined.

The Lu family in Jiangning and the Zhang family in Yangzhou are all famous families. Although Gu Zhilun is famous in Yangzhou, how can he compare with a family like the Zhang family?

He was very optimistic about Lu Zheng, and felt that he would definitely pay off in the future if he had a good relationship with Lu Zheng.

But after receiving such feedback, he couldn't help but feel cold. Of course, with his scheming and scheming, all of this will not be revealed in his heart.

Today, when he heard Lu Zheng say that he was dependent on others, he couldn't help but be very alert, because when Lu Zheng's tone seemed to have something to ask for him!

He immediately thought to himself: "This kid is really desperate. I have only met him for a few times. He came to ask for help regardless of the abruptness. Hey, let's see what he wants to say!"

As soon as he thought of this, he looked a little bit contemptuous of Lu Zheng, but he was very cunning and did not reveal any of it.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, took a sip of the tea slowly, tasted it carefully, and said, "Uncle Shi's tea is a good tea. The Maojian before the Ming Dynasty faded, and it was even more untouched by the smell of fireworks in the world!"

"Uh..." Gu Zhilun was stunned for a moment, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He was from Maojian last year, and he was reluctant to take out this year's new tea. There is a saying in Jiangning that new tea has become popular, but drinking Maojian tea requires new tea.

Lu Zheng's words were very tactful, and it sounded like he really liked drinking this kind of tea, but in Gu Zhilun's ears, his face was a little uneasy.

Lu Zheng didn't seem to care about his change in expression. He waved to Ying'er outside, and Ying'er came in with a small wooden box.

Lu Zheng said: "Uncle Shi, my nephew brought something here today to check it out. Do you have a look first?"

Ying'er opened the wooden box, and the manuscripts of "Journey to the West" were neatly placed inside. The manuscripts were recorded by Ying'er in small hairpin hairpin according to Lu Zheng's storytelling. Today, the ones taken from this box are only a small part.

Gu Zhilun took the manuscript suspiciously and looked carefully.

It's good to see this word at first, and then read the contents of the book:

"Since Pangu created the world, the world has been divided into four continents..."

Gu Zhilun only looked at more than two or three hundred words, and his eyes could no longer be moved. He suddenly looked up at Lu Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, this... is this... what you are talking about in "Journey to the West"?"

Lu Zheng slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Shi, please take a look more, and I will read it here too."

Gu Zhilun said, "Brother Zheng, don't be polite. You can only read the books I have here if you like!"

The huge study suddenly became quiet, and Gu Zhilun devoted himself to the manuscript given by Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng also stood up and walked, took down the "Xinde Dictionary" and began to look up the rare words he had encountered in recent reading.

He hasn't come to the bookstore for almost half a month. He used a homemade quill to remember the rare words that Lu Zheng had accumulated every day with a small note. He found these rare words one by one, figured out the meaning, and marked the pronunciation of the words based on the phonetic slicing. This is also a very energy-consuming process.
