C31 I Have Meat to Eat with San Ye

Zuo Shaoqing didn't remember if he had a bosom friend back then. Even if he had, he had forgotten about it during the years he was imprisoned. Therefore, Zuo Shao became confused when he saw this scholar who called him "little brother" standing in front of him.

"Brother, is the wound bad?" That person's nervous expression did not seem fake, pulling at him as he wanted to strip off his clothes.

Zuo Shaoqing moved his feet and avoided his hand. He coughed twice and said, "Brother Qu, it's been a while since we last met!" Actually, he didn't know anything else except that his name was Qu Changqing.

Qu Changqing thought that he was embarrassed, and did not care about his resistance, "Brother just came back and heard about your matter, this Zuo Shaoling is going too far, to actually be able to deal such a heavy blow to his own younger brother, he has really tarnished the reputation of our Zuo Family and school!"

Hearing his indignation, Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help but think highly of him, "Don't worry about Brother Qu, it's just a small grudge."

"A small grudge and he can even use a knife? If there really is a deep grudge, then how terrible would it be?"

Zuo Shaoqing thought to himself, if there really is a deep hatred, then of course we have to make him live a life worse than death!

Memories were dug up bit by bit. Zuo Shaoqing recalled a few things related to Qu Changqing. They had been classmates for three years. After Qu Changqing joined the tutelage of Scholar Yin, the two rarely met.

The him in his memory was a genuine, upright scholar. He was benevolent and righteous, kind and evil. He was similar to Zuo Shaoqing in his previous life, but he was much more courageous and optimistic than him.

There were many such scholars in Great Yang who studied the Dao of Confucius and Mengdao. In terms of etiquette, integrity, and integrity, they were tall and upright and could not tolerate a single grain of sand in their eyes.

Some of these scholars were in Enke High School, some were in the censors, some were indifferent to fame and fortune, and they were all scholars. However, no matter which type they were, they all seemed to go against their own moral principles.

Zuo Shaoqing was a bit afraid of such a friend because in front of them, he felt like he was covered in mud.

It was as if they were people from different worlds.

"I see Brother Qu's face full of dust. Let's go back and rest for a few days." Zuo Shaoqing said with a distant look and a faint smile.

Qu Changqing was slightly surprised, "Younger brother..." But what difficulties? "

Zuo Shaoqing laughed lightly, "No, in a few days, it will be the hometown examination. I believe Brother Qu should also prepare for it."

Qu Changqing was shaken by his smile and immediately put aside his doubts from before. He pulled Zuo Shaoqing's hand and said: "Brother, you've returned because of this. How about we set off together to Changping County the next day?"

Zuo Shaoqing refused, nodded and said, "Ok."

The day before they set off, Zuo Shaoqing specifically bought a lot of dry rations to go up the mountain. Luckily, the weather was cold, so it wouldn't be bad even if they put in a few days of cooked meat and pastries.

He explained the situation to Lu Zheng. This trip would take at least ten days to half a month, and no one came to deliver food. He wondered if this Young Master Lu would starve to death!

Lu Zheng ignored Zuo Shaoqing's worries, ate the chicken soup and Ciba that Zuo Shaoqing brought, walked two rounds around the bed, and then sat down at the only table in the room.

There were a few popular textbooks on the table, and Zuo Shaoqing was afraid that he would have nothing to do, which would relieve his boredom. Wu Tie flipped through them once and then never touched them again.

"We only brought enough rations to eat for five days. What should we do then?"

Zuo Shaoqing walked around the house. Seeing the charcoal brag, he said, "There's not enough charcoal. Luckily, you're not afraid of the cold."

Seeing that the canteen had started to mutter again, he said, "The canteen is a bit small, I think I'll go and get a bucket of water."

"How about... "It's better if I leave Little Six behind …" Zuo Shaoqing made up his mind.

Lu Zheng took out the black wooden plate from his pocket, dipped it in ink and imprinted a mark on a piece of paper. He then wrote a few words on the paper with the pen.

Zuo Shaoqing was stunned by his actions. He took off the paper and looked at it. He suddenly opened his eyes wide, "This …" "This …"

"You don't want it?"

"No …" "No …" How could he not want it? Wasn't this what he had been trying so hard to get?

He thought he would need a long line to catch a big fish, but he never expected Lu Zheng to be so generous. First, he gave him a valuable bead, and now, he even gave him a letter.

Zuo Shaoqing hurriedly folded the paper that weighed a thousand pounds and put it in his pocket. After thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it wasn't safe enough and stuffed the paper into his bag and put it into the innermost layer of his shirt.

His face was slightly red, but he still calmly bowed to Lu Zheng and said, "Thank you, Master Lu, for your generous gift!" This was truly a generous gift. With this, the things he promised his second uncle would come to fruition, and the 30% profit from this good fortune would all be his.

He didn't know how expensive it would be if he didn't own a family. These days, he had only raised a man and spent most of his savings.

Zuo Shaoqing tried to make his expression look smoother, but the curve of his mouth couldn't be wiped away no matter how hard he tried. He didn't even notice the change in title, "Isn't Master Lu afraid that I will use your letter to do bad things?"

Lu Zheng laid back on the bed, picked up a plate of Plum Blossom Cake and started eating. He mocked, "What kind of bad things can you do?"

To Young Master Lu, even if Zuo Shaoqing were to murder someone and set them on fire, it would be a small matter. Moreover, this scholar didn't have the guts to do so.

Zuo Shaoqing also understood this point, so he accepted the benefits with peace of mind. He also decided to be generous and said, "How about I go back late and buy some attendant?"

He only had Luo Xiaoliu by his side. If he didn't go with him to Changping, people would be suspicious, so he might as well buy a complete stranger, attendant. Luo Xiaoliu could serve this master all day long and didn't have to worry about his whereabouts being leaked.

"No need." Lu Zheng refused without thinking. Other than the first two days, he was completely able to take care of himself.

If it wasn't for the fact that Zuo Shaoqing was interesting, he wouldn't have let him stay for so long.

Zuo Shaoqing hesitated. "Then these days …"

"I have someone to take care of me!"

Zuo Shaoqing was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. Yes, what is Lu Zheng's identity? How could it be possible that no one had gone missing for so long? He reckoned that they must have logged on when he was unaware.

It was hard to tell what he was feeling, but Zuo Shaoqing was relieved at this knowledge. At least, he wouldn't have to bear the burden of Young Master Lu's safety anymore.

Zuo Shaoqing lightly returned home, took up his pen and wrote a letter. Along with Lu Zheng's seal letter, he stuffed it into an envelope and told Luo Xiaoliu to give it to Zuo Second Master. He also told him to personally hand it to Second Master.

When Luo Xiaoliu returned, he was similarly as light as a feather, because Second Master had just rewarded him with five taels of silver. That was his entire year's salary, it was like a pie dropped from the sky.

"Master, Second Master told me to bring this to you." Luo Xiaoliu respectfully bent his waist and handed a bag to Zuo Shaoqing.

The current him was not only fearful of Zuo Shaoqing, he also had a deep admiration for him. After coming to the conclusion that he could not offend San Ye, he came to a conclusion: there was meat for San Ye to eat!

Zuo Shaoqing opened his bag and saw the remaining 50 taels of silver as he wished. Not only that, but there was also a piece of good jade and a land deed. It was obviously an extra gift from Second Uncle.

Looking at the location written on the title deed, Zuo Shaoqing wiped his eyes and read it three times to make sure there was no mistake. Then, he laughed out loud, "Haha …" Second Uncle is so generous! " If he knew how much money this store would make in the future, he would probably regret it until his intestines turned green.

At the moment, there was only a grocery store, which could only earn a little money. But Zuo Shaoqing knew, with the new emperor ascending the throne, opening a wide open sea business, this grocery store was the first batch of people to go out to sea to rummage through the goods. After coming back, they made a huge fortune, and in the following few years, they slowly developed into the most famous life market in Great Yang.

What was the manager's name? Zuo Shaoqing scratched his chin and thought that he had to win this person over. Even if it couldn't be used for him, he definitely couldn't let him leave and become his opponent.

Zuo Shaoqing was grinning from ear to ear when he thought of the scene of his future wealth rolling in.

However, this matter couldn't be rushed. He was going out tomorrow, so he had to wait for his hometown examination to come back. Moreover, he had to think of a way to avoid Zuo Family's eyes and ears, otherwise, he would get into trouble before he could earn money.

It seemed that Second Uncle was testing him with this shop. If he, Zuo Shaoqing, could not even solve this little problem, then Second Uncle would probably not be able to cooperate with him.

Luo Xiaoliu did not understand San Ye's crazy state. He touched his bulging pockets and smiled foolishly.
