Chapter 137 North geese flying south

Zeng Yu cooked two dishes and one soup for Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi. The dish of Chinese toon tomato tofu was learned by Zeng Yu from Master Yuan Gang of the Da Shangqing Palace. Another dish was stir-fried with mushrooms and served on a small plate. The soup was yam soup, with a large bowl.

Yingzi looked at the three dishes on the square table, her beautiful eyes wide and incredible, and murmured: "Mr. Zeng really knows how to cook."

Lu Miao wanted to lean over and sniff, and was very grateful to Zeng Yu for her attentiveness. She ate vegetarian food. In addition to the small plate of fried pork slices on the table, the yam soup and Chinese toon tofu were cooked with tea oil. Meat oil and tea oil are easy to distinguish. She smiled and said, "Xiaozi, how can you try Mr. Zeng's cooking skills?"

Yingzi let out a "hmm" sound, took the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of tofu to eat. She smiled and said, "It's delicious, the tofu is tender and smooth, and the toon head is fragrant and tender."

Lu Miao wanted to smile and said, "Is it more suitable for your taste than the dishes cooked by my aunt?"

Yingzi smiled and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, shook her head and said, "No, Mr. Zeng's cooking skills are worse than that of mother. Hehe, mom, sit down, I'll serve the rice."

The steamed rice in the rice steamer exudes a fragrance, and the light on the lamp on the table is soft and yellow. When Yingzi was eating, she looked out the window. It was dark outside the window, and the sound of wind and rain was sometimes tight and sometimes slow. The girl's expression gradually became sad from the initial excitement and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zeng would still have hot rice and vegetables to eat when he rushed back to the village at this time?

Lu Miao thought, "It's dark early today, but it's not too late. Mr. Zeng rushed back to the village and was just dinner time."

Yingzi stopped talking and ate slowly, and was in a daze.

Lu Miao wanted to see Yingzi's insanity and thought to herself: "This Maple Tree Bay is not a place for a long time. If there are bad people who cannot be wary of it, Mr. Zeng cannot propose marriage to Xiaozi for the time being. The future is difficult to predict. My heart is dead, and no matter how much I suffer, I will not be afraid or resentful. But Xiaozi is really worried. This girl's heart is now tied to Mr. Zeng. Well, when I see Mr. Zeng again next time, I will talk to him about this."

The cold rain and wind are dark and the lights are dark. Zeng Yu returned to Qianshan Hall. The Qianshan Hall is deserted and quiet. Yan Shaoqing and Yan Shaoting are not there. Yan Shaoqing said in advance that he would stay in Jichangyuan for two days. Yan Shaoting, who went to meet County Magistrate Xu, must have stayed in the county government office or Jichangyuan for night because it rained. Yan Shaoting had a manager and two healthy servants accompany him, so there was no need to worry about something going on--

Zeng Yu ordered the servant to prepare hot water to take a bath. He first went to feed the big black horse beans, and then took a hot bath. He felt that he was not feeling uncomfortable, so he felt at ease to eat. He was thinking about the wooden house in Maple Bay. If he could have supper with Lu Miaoxiang there, it would definitely be a pleasure.

The Yan brothers were not here, Zeng Yu was less concerned and came to Fengshuwan early the next morning. He wanted to take this opportunity to discuss some things with Lu Miaoxiang-

The rain had already stopped, the air in the forest was fresh, and I walked on the fallen leaf path in my newly bought clogs, quite comfortable. I came to the single-plank bridge and remembered the oil paper umbrella that Yingzi was blown away by the wind yesterday. Zeng Yu searched down the stream. After walking out of the half, he saw the dark pink oil paper umbrella hanging on the branch of a maple tree by the stream, more than one meter high. I found a branch on the ground and gently picked it up. The pink oil paper umbrella floated to the ground. Except for the broken place on the edge of the umbrella, there was no damage.

Walking back to the one-plank bridge, Yingzi picked up a wooden barrel to fetch water by the stream. The graceful girl was looking up to the northwest of the forest. When she heard Zeng Yu's footsteps, she turned around and said in surprise: "Why did Mr. Zeng come from there?"

Zeng Yu raised the umbrella in his hand: "I have retrieved Miss Yingzi's umbrella."

Yingzi said happily: "I am planning to look for it too. Where did Mr. Zeng find it?"

"Just hang on a maple tree by the stream." Zeng Yu pointed downstream of Jiexi, crossed the single-plank bridge, handed the umbrella to Yingzi, and said, "I'll carry it." He filled the original half bucket of water and carried the wooden barrel to the wooden house.

Yingzi followed behind happily and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Yu said: "What are you thankful? This is what a man does. It makes people feel distressed when you little girl do these things."

Yingzi felt sweet in her heart, but she said, "My mother is a little bitch, of course I will carry the water. I am not young anymore. I will be thirteen years old in three months. I am old and I was born in February - what month did Mr. Zeng come from?

Zeng Yudao: "I'm young in the month, in the twelfth lunar month."

Yingzi said with a "oh" and said, "Mr. Zeng forgot to take a cavitation bottle."

Zeng Yu said: "I saw that gill bottle in the porcelain shop is exquisite and cute. I bought it for you and Lady Lu to use it for flowers."

Yingzi said: "We have an official kiln gill bottle and a purple glaze ear bottle here. My mother said that Mr. Zeng's Ge kiln bottle is very good for inserting dendrobium, camellia, small chrysanthemum, and wintersweet. It is placed on the desk. When you are reading and writing, you will be pleasing to the eye."

Zeng Yu held a bucket of water in his right hand, leaned his upper body slightly to the left, and said, "Your aunt still knows how to arrange flowers, so I should ask more questions."

Yingzi said proudly: "My mother is very skilled in craftsmanship. She said that people should not do anything, they should always learn something, write, read, play chess, and take care of flowers and plants, and they should have something to send their hearts - I will go to pick a camellia, and there are a few camellia trees on the other side of the forest, and there are already small buds." As she said that, she walked around the bamboo fence and headed to the north of the wooden house.

The wooden door was open, Zeng Yu took water and went to the kitchen. He almost collided with Lu Miaoxiang by the door. Lu Miaoxiang hurriedly stepped aside and said in surprise: "Young Master Zeng, where is Xiaozi?"

Zeng Yu went into the kitchen and poured a bucket of water into the water tank, and turned around and said, "Miss Yingzi has gone to break the camellia branches - Xiaosheng wants to tell Niang Lu that after that, my water tank will be fully filled."

Zeng Yu carried four buckets of water one after another and filled the large clay tank. Lu Miaoxiang watched Zeng Yu go and go busy, and she felt a little confused. Just as she was about to speak, Yingzi broke a branch of camellia and came back. She smiled at Zeng Yu outside the door and asked Lu Miaoxiang: "Mom, can this branch be inserted into that cavitation bottle?"

Lu Miao thought, "It's great, go and insert it, mom and Mr. Zeng have something to say."

The figure of the baby flashed and he went to the wooden house.

Lu Miao wanted to step out of the kitchen and stand on the edge of the cabbage field in the back garden. She was tall and slender, and her black robe looked wide and empty. The fine stubble was exposed on both sides of her ears under the round hat. Zeng Yu wanted to reach out to touch her every time she saw such stubble, just like he used to touch her little sister Niu Niu's fluffy stubble forehead. Niu Niu has now begun to grow hair-

Lu Miao wanted to see Zeng Yu staring at her, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her eyelashes and said, "Young Master Zeng has something to say."

Zeng Yu's eyes moved from Lu Miaoxiang's bald head to the sky. The rising sun was rising, the sky was high and blue. A group of geese flying south lined up in the character "One" and slowly flew from the sky. After a while, they were folded into the shape of "Eight". Although they couldn't see clearly, they could feel that the geese were flapping their wings and flying hard.

"Miss Lu, look, the northern geese fly south."

Lu Miao wanted to follow Zeng Yu's gaze and look up at the group of geese flying south until nowhere was missing. Tears gradually poured into his eyes. When he lowered his head, tears flowed down. He quickly turned around to wipe his tears, and said embarrassedly: "Suddenly I miss my hometown Qingtian. The burial place of Pomni's parents and sister is there, but now I can't get it if I want to go back to my hometown."

Zeng Yu sighed lightly and asked, "Is there anyone who can join the uncle's family?"

Lu Miaoxiang shook her head. Over the years, she was imprisoned and had no contact with her mother's family. Her mother had no brothers and had distant relatives, but how could it be reliable? She said: "Only Mr. Zeng can help Xiaozi. Doesn't Yan Shifan's cousin value Mr. Zeng very much? If he is asked to be a mediator, Yan Shifan might agree with Mr. Zeng's character and knowledge."

Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "No, no, Xiaosheng has no intention of marrying Miss Yingzi--"

Lu Miao was anxious. She was not a weak person. She immediately asked shyly, "Since Mr. Zeng had no intention of marrying Xiaozi, he must have a lover. How dare she ask who the lady is?"

Zeng Yu looked at Lu Miao's thoughts. The woman had beautiful and delicate eyebrows and monk's hat, and her face was not reduced. She made him forget his worries at first sight. "Miss Lu wants the young master to confess his love again, then the young master will say again: Mrs. Lu is the young master's sweetheart."

Lu Miaoxiang's voice trembled slightly and asked, "You want to marry me?"

Zeng Yudao: "That's right."

Lu Miao choked for some reason and asked again: "But why did you marry me? You even said it was inappropriate to marry Xiaozi. How could you marry me? Isn't it nonsense?"
