Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 465 Wild Zanthoxylum bungeanum

"Miss Lu!"

A familiar voice came over, causing Mao Shi and Zhao Xian, who were about to leave, to turn their heads at the same time.

The person who came was the county magistrate they had just met.

However, at this moment, he was smiling friendly at the girl next to He Yan.

Lu Sheng smiled slightly at Fu Xianyun, "Where is Magistrate Fu planning to go?"

"Sisi and the others are in the restaurant. I just finished my work and am about to go there. Why are you here?"

"My cousin and I came here to handle and leave the book."

He Yan was a little surprised to hear the familiar conversation between the two.

Mao Shi and Zhao Xian were also dumbfounded.

They already feel very honored just because they know a small catcher, but in the end, they directly know the biggest one in this yamen?

Fu Xianyun nodded suddenly, "It turns out that this girl is Miss Lu's cousin!"

He Yan, who came back to her senses, hastily saluted him.

Lu Sheng nodded, "Well, this is my uncle's daughter."

"Oh?" Fu Xianyun was surprised, "It turns out that this girl is Brother He Zhang's daughter."

"My... my lord, do you know He Zhang?"

Mao was simply dumbfounded.

When did He Zhang even know the county magistrate?

Fu Xianyun has always been kind to the common people, and he answered Mao's question.

"Miss Lu is Master Chu's fiancée, and Master Chu is my cousin. Brother He Zhang is Miss Lu's cousin. From now on, we are also a family, so we naturally know each other."

Lu Sheng was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help covering his lips and snickering.

Fu Xianyun most likely knew the relationship between Mao and He Yan, so he answered this on purpose.

As for the reason, just look at Mao's blushing face.

Yes, Mao regretted it to death.

If she knew that there was such a big background behind He Yan, she wouldn't be able to reconcile if she was killed.

But now, it's too late!

Zhao Xian gave He Yan a complicated look, and then led Mao Shi who was still in a daze to leave.

"Are the two girls going to the restaurant? If so, together?"

Fu Xianyun watched Mao's mother and son leave with a smile, then turned his head and spoke to the two with the same smile.

Lu Sheng shook his head, "We won't go, there is still something to do."

"Then I'll go ahead."

He called himself "I" to Lu Sheng, but called himself "my official" to Mao's mother and son. No matter how stupid He Yan was, he could tell that Fu Xianyun seemed to respect Lu Sheng very much.

On the way back to Anmu Village, He Yan remained silent.

Lu Sheng thought she had just remarried and was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother her.

As everyone knows, He Yan was actually shocked by what Fu Xianyun said just now.

She didn't expect that she had only been married for a year, and both the Lu family and the He family had undergone unimaginable changes.

In the past, not to mention the county magistrate, they didn't even know a yamen catcher.

This is why the Mao family would show off that he had a nephew who was a fast catcher in the Yamen.

She thought about it, and suddenly remembered something.

He Yan suddenly opened the curtain of the car and asked Lu Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, is what you said today true?"

"what?"

Lu Sheng turned to look at her.

"There is a ghost behind Zhao Xian, is it true?"

Lu Sheng's reaction today was so real that even He Yan believed it.

Lu Sheng said with a smile: "I was bluffing him, but my master has done some research on this, so I can see that he has indeed been haunted by ghosts recently."

"It's really a ghost?"

He Yan was shocked, "Then what do they look like?"

"They? Uh..."

Lu Sheng murmured: "It's similar to people, but people are entities, but they are incorporeal."

He Yan couldn't understand what was physical and incorporeal, but from Lu Sheng's words, she seemed to have seen it before.

She trembled slightly, "Xiao Sheng, have you seen that kind of thing?"

Lu Sheng pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Do you want to hear the truth?"

He Yan nodded, "Of course."

"I have seen them, and I can still communicate with them."

"Pfft—"

He Yan froze for a moment, then sneered.

She felt that Lu Sheng must be joking.

When Lu Sheng heard her laugh, he only raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't pay much attention.

"How's it going?"

As soon as the two returned to Anmu Village, He Dong couldn't wait to ask.

He Yan nodded, "It's done."

"Great!"

He Dong smiled and said, "When Dad and grandma come back, we must tell them the good news."

He Yan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Xiaodong, do you have sacks at home?"

"There are sacks."

He Dong asked suspiciously: "What are you doing with the sack?"

"Don't worry about it, go get me a sack first."

"Oh."

He Dongjin took out two sacks from the warehouse where the rice vats were stored.

After Lu Sheng took the sack, he smiled and said, "Let's go up the mountain."

He Yan: "No hurry, wait until we change our outfits."

Both He Yan and He Dong went back to the house and changed into old clothes, then took the sickle and bamboo basket and went up the mountain with Lu Sheng.

"Cousin, you brought two sacks up the mountain, what exactly are you trying to pack?"

He Dong thought about it but couldn't figure out what Lu Sheng was looking for with two big bags.

"Where did you dig that tree you took home and planted?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Cousin mean the pepper tree?"

Lu Sheng nodded, "Yes!"

"Just ahead, I'll take you there."

He Dong said, and walked ahead first.

The pepper tree is on a hillside. There are big trees and small trees, almost all of which are full of pepper.

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and she stuffed another sack to He Yan, "Help pick it up."

After she said that, she had easily climbed to the slope and started picking.

Although He Yan and He Dong didn't know what she was doing for picking this thing, they also climbed up to pick it.

By the time two sacks were filled, the sun was about to set.

He Yan and He Dong, who originally planned to collect some firewood, found nothing in the end.

He Dong struggled to carry the sack of pepper on his shoulder, ready to go downhill.

"Don't move, give it all to me."

Lu Sheng easily picked up the sack on his shoulder, and then carried one bag on one shoulder, walking like walking on flat ground, and he was already down the hillside in a blink of an eye.

He Yan and He Dong: ...

Is this still human?

It's hard to live with one bag, but her two bags are like carrying empty bags. What kind of strength is this?

"Cousin... Cousin, aren't you heavy?"

Lu Sheng said in a low voice: "I have practiced martial arts, and I know how to do light work, not heavy."

She glanced at the sky and said to the two, "Go down the mountain quickly, it's getting late."

After all, he took the lead to go to the front.

From behind, the siblings stared at her back, their initial shock turned into envy.

It's good to know martial arts. It's easy to carry such a heavy thing down the mountain.

The two climbed downhill cautiously, and hurriedly strode up to follow.

"Xiao Sheng, do you really not need our help?"

He Yan swallowed, and asked in a low voice.

"No, I can do it alone."

The two who were rejected were a little bit sorry, and asked almost ten times along the way, but each time Lu Sheng said that they didn't need their help.

It wasn't until they went down the mountain and returned home that He Yan and He Dong believed that Lu Sheng really didn't bother at all.

"Yo!"

Xu's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Sheng, "When did Xiao Sheng come?"

Lu Sheng put the things on the ground, "It will come in the morning."

"yes?"

Xu looked at the two bags on the ground and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"This is pepper."

"Huajiao? It's a nice name."

Xu reached out and straightened the sack on the ground.

She thought it wasn't too heavy, but when she got it right, she was shocked by the weight.

When she saw Lu Sheng carrying it just now, it seemed very light, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Such a big sack weighs seventy to eighty catties at least.

"Why didn't you help Xiaosheng carry a bag just now? Let her carry such a heavy thing by herself, how tiring is it?"

After Xu reprimanded He Yan and He Dong, she looked at Lu Sheng with distress.

He Yan and He Dong were speechless and didn't know how to explain for a while.

"It's not that they don't help, it's that I don't let them help. I carry it myself and walk faster."

He Yan and He Dong, a thin woman and a half-grown man, were walking on a mountain road. Let them carry it, and they probably couldn't go down the mountain until dark.

Mrs. Xu was a little stunned when she heard that, "I'll be good, you girl is so strong."

Lu Sheng chuckled.

She said to several people: "Grandma, Grandpa, Sister Yan'er, Xiaodong, I'll go back first."

I don't know if the three people in the family have eaten.

He Hu said: "Let's go back after dinner, it's already so late."

Lu Sheng shook his head, "No, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Xin are still at home. I forgot about them when I was happy. I have to go back and cook for them as soon as possible."

"That's all."

Xu said helplessly: "Then be careful on the road, do you have a lamp? There is a lantern in your uncle's room. If you don't have one, grandma will bring it for you."

"No need for grandma, I have it in my car, just click on it in a while."

Lu Sheng moved two bags of peppercorns into the carriage, clapped his hands and looked at Xu Shi and said, "Grandmother, there is a big happy event today."

"What big event?"

Xu looked at her suspiciously.

He Yan pursed her lips and smiled, He Dong chuckled, and said mischievously: "Grandma, guess quickly."

Mrs. Xu frowned, "When your grandfather and I came back, I heard that the Zhao family came today. What are they doing here?"

He Yan said: "Come and leave."

There was a sudden silence all around.

It took a while for He Hu to realize, "Xiaoyan, what did you just say?"

He thought he must be hallucinating.

Xu also suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, and when she heard her wife's question, she also looked nervously at He Yan.

He Dongdao: "You heard me right, Zhao Xian has agreed to reconcile, and today, my cousin accompanied my sister to go to town with them."

"Really...really?"

Xu was a little skeptical.

How could a person like Mao agree to reconcile so easily?

He Yan nodded, "It's true!"

Xu blinked, "Then... did they make any unreasonable demands?"

He Yan shook her head, "No, nothing."

"Did they lose their minds?"

Mrs. Xu couldn't believe that Mrs. Mao would let Zhao Xian and He Yan reconcile so easily.

He Yan laughed and said, "They're out of their minds, it's because Xiao Sheng is smart."

"Oh?"

Xu looked at Lu Sheng, "What did Xiao Sheng do?"

He Dong laughed and said, "My cousin lied to them that there is a ghost behind Zhao Xian."

"They also believe such words?" He Hu questioned.

"Xiao Sheng said that Zhao Xian seemed to have been entangled in something unclean, so she lied."

After hearing He Yan's words, He Hu and Xu looked at Lu Sheng again.

"Xiao Sheng, what you said is true? Then Zhao Xian was really entangled by that thing?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't help shivering.

"real."

Lu Sheng nodded, "To be honest, my master is in this business. I learned a little from him, so I can tell."

Of course she didn't dare to say that she released the ghosts that haunted Zhao Xian.

"Oh, this family must have done a lot of immoral things, otherwise how could those ghosts haunt them?"

Mrs. Xu looked gloating.

He Hu's focus was not on this, he said in surprise: "Unexpectedly, the third prince would know this. Could it be that he learned it from the National Teacher?"

"Third prince? National teacher?"

He Yan looked at He Hu suspiciously, "Master, have you seen them?"

"The national teacher has never seen it, but the third prince is Xiaosheng's master. He also came over when your uncle Qin got married last time."

"Xiaosheng's master is the third prince?" He Yan was dumbfounded.

What did she miss this year?

He Hu nodded, "Yes!"

He Yan helped her forehead, thinking to herself, it seems that it is time to understand the changes of the He family this year.

"I have to go back."

After saying goodbye to several people, Lu Sheng drove away directly.

When she got home, it was already Xu time.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw three people sitting under the big tree, all looking at her resentfully.

"Second sister, we're hungry!"

Lu Xin got up and walked over, pouted and said aggrievedly.

When Lu Sheng was at home, usually they would have finished dinner by the next hour.

Today is definitely the last time.

"I'm sorry, the second sister has something to do today, so I forgot the time when I was busy."

She pulled the carriage aside, and before she had time to move her things down, she greeted Lan Yi and went straight into the kitchen to get busy.

Because it was too late, Lu Sheng could only spread a few egg pancakes for them to fill their stomachs, and then started making vegetable dumplings.

After eating and drinking, the three of them went back to their houses and went to sleep.

After Lu Sheng cleaned up the dishes, he moved the prickly ash on the carriage to the eaves and took a hot bath before going back to the house to lie down.

————

two days later.

Just after Lu Sheng came back from the vegetable field, he was drying peppercorns in the yard when He Qin came suddenly.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

After He Qin entered the door, he smiled and asked directly: "The sour bamboo shoots in the restaurant are all bought, your uncle in the lobby asked me to come and ask, is there any more?"

"So fast?"

It's only been a few days, and such a big tank of sour bamboo shoots is sold out?

He Qin said: "The customers all like to eat it. They say they have an appetizer. Everyone must order it when they go to the restaurant, so it sells out faster."

Lu Sheng nodded, "There is still a jar, and there are some dried bamboo shoots. Uncle will take them all there later."

He Qin was a smart man. When he came, he drove a carriage by himself, and asked two guys in the restaurant to drive another carriage.

Lu Sheng helped them move the bamboo shoots to the carriage, and put the dried bamboo shoots on it.

He Qin glanced at the dried bamboo shoots and asked Lu Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, what should I do with these dried bamboo shoots?"
