She understood the implication of the old man. Three years later, if she could not get rid of the current predicament, perhaps the old man would help her gain freedom.

As far as she knows, if there is no special change, she will learn cooking skills in this villa in the next two years. She will study cooking seriously in the past two years, and then spend a year completing the tasks assigned by Fu Heng to repay Fu Heng's training. Then she will participate in the cooking competition and win the ranking. With the help of the old man, she may be able to change her identity. At that time, she will only be fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is young. She has gained freedom and has good skills. Is it up to her to decide what kind of good life she wants to live?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that her future was bright, and the reluctance and sadness brought about by separation just now also disappeared a lot.

"Okay, let's not cook today, let's go out to the restaurant together." Seeing Lu Zhu's face showing a cheerful expression, the old man was in a good mood. "A tavern not far from here, the veal seems to be good, let's try it." He pointed to a follower and said, "And Li, go to the kitchen, call Dongzi out, let's go to have a meal together. Let **** guard the kitchen and fry the medicine. Tell him that when we come back from dinner, the girl will drink the medicine and let him fry the medicine in time."

"Yes." Ang Lee ran to the kitchen with great sympathy for him.

After a while, Dongzi followed Ang Lee in. The old man explained the decoction of medicine to him and gave him a month's salary.

It was unexpected to know that the old man would leave one day and stay here for so ten days. So when he heard that the old man was leaving, Dongzi was not as sad as Lu Zhu. He respectfully kowtowed to the old man. After saying a few more words to keep him, he was the guest and host who was happy.

Everyone went out together and went to a tavern not far away for a meal. The veal there was indeed as the old man said, tender, smooth and refreshing, and extremely hot. The old man never liked the "foodless" style, so he asked Luzhu to comment on the beef and then talked about the special beef he had eaten over the years. Luzhu has gained a lot.

"Old man..." Lu Zhu was about to speak.

The old man glared: "What's wrong? I haven't left yet. I won't call me Master?"

"Hehe, Master." Lu Zhu quickly changed her words. In the past, she was all from masters, old men, and she screamed as the old men. The more she did this, she found that the old men were happier. But since she received the jade token, she never dared to act rashly again, for fear that calling "master" would be considered a high-spirited person. But now she saw the old men still willing to listen to her calling her master. She was really happy - this shows that the old men's feelings for her are still the same, and they have not changed with the change of their identity.

The old man nodded with satisfaction: "What's the matter?"

"Can this beef be sold at will? Are cattle not used to cultivate the land? How can it be slaughtered at will?" Luzhu knew that there was a ban on cattle in ancient China, so she wanted to find out what kind of attitude was about killing cattle here.

Hearing this, the old man laughed, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to rub Lu Zhu's head, and said to Zhang Congzheng proudly: "Look at the disciple I have accepted. He is a little girl, but he cares about the people in the world and thinks very generously in everything. He is much better than those who become officials who only care about collecting money and do not care about the lives of the people. He is really worthy of being the disciple of my No. 1 sect in the world."

"Yes, yes. You have a sharp look and you have a keen eye to recognize people. The disciples you accept are naturally not ordinary." Zhang Congzheng quickly gave flattery, but he was secretly disgusted in his heart. Although the old man sometimes had a more irritable temper and a little childish, he was not a person who liked flattery. Today, he seemed to be deliberately listening to his flattery, and he was very helpful to him. Moreover, he had never seen the doting expression of Lu Zhu on his face before. It seemed that he had really moved his feelings for this little girl named Lu Zhu.

The old man was very interested and was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Congzheng. He explained to Luzhu: "In the past, the world was poor and the people were not busy, and cattle were not allowed to be slaughtered. But in the past few hundred years, there has been no war in Dachen for a long time, the politics was clear, the economy was prosperous, and the manpower was abundant, so raising more cattle was nothing. If you raise too many cattle, it is also necessary to satisfy the people's desires in addition to farming. So a hundred years ago, the ban on killing was cancelled. Now, more people eat beef, and more cattle are naturally more; if you eat beef, you can't sell it, so it will naturally decrease. The cattle used by farmers to plow the fields is not listed here. Therefore, it will not affect farming at all."

It's similar to modern times. Lu Zhu nodded and gained a further understanding of the environment he lives in. This era is really prosperous and the country is prosperous and the people are safe!

Knowing that Lu Zhu didn't have enough time, the old man didn't drink. He had dinner while chatting, so he went back to the yard. He asked Dongzi to take the food he brought back to the kitchen for ****, then brought the medicine. Seeing Lu Zhu drinking, he said, "Okay, you go back."

"Master, when will you leave tomorrow?" Although Lu Zhu knew that her time was not free, she always hoped to have the opportunity to see him off.

"You will leave early tomorrow morning, and you don't need to send it away, it will only increase your sadness. It's getting late, so go back quickly. Remember to come and drink medicine on time every day." The old man waved.

I have said what to know just now; no matter how reluctant I am, I will still have to separate myself. Moreover, after I learned the cooking skills, I could still see the old man in the competition three years later, Lu Zhu felt much more at peace and no longer had her mother-in-law. She said a few goodbye to the old man, gave a gift, and then returned to the villa.

Passing through the tunnel, when it arrived at the exit, Luzhu was difficult to make. Although the recipe given to her was not thick, it was a bit large. It was stuffed in her arms and could be seen by someone after a moment of movement. It would definitely not work to take it out like this, so I had to hide it in a cave. However, this cave was so easy for her to discover, so sooner or later it would be discovered by others. It is very unsafe to hide it in the cave. This book was written by the old man, a famous scholar at that time, and it was full of love and concern for her. The content written in it was extremely rare. For Luzhu, this book is extremely precious and must not be lost. It must be kept properly.

She had to look around in the cave. Green bamboo finally chose a gap on the stone wall, hid the book, and then covered it with some dead grass. If it weren't for the purpose of pulling it out with your hands, it wouldn't be able to see it at all. Fortunately, it was autumn, and the weather was relatively dry, which would not easily cause mold in the book. Otherwise, Green bamboo would be even more distressed. But even so, she was still worried. She made up her mind to go through this tunnel every day and take medicine from tomorrow, and read the book in the cave for a while when she came back. Try to remember all the contents written in the book in a short time. Remember, find a secret place to hide the book so that it would be easy to cause accidents if it was taken out. Besides, remember the contents in the book, even if the book was accidentally lost, it would not be useless to have any painstaking efforts.

Although I knew that separation was a matter of time, it was a blessing to be able to stay with the old man for more than ten days. Lu Zhu still tossed and turned around in the middle of the night, and then fell asleep in a daze. The next morning after everyone went out to practice, she quietly walked out of the villa. Facing the direction of Qingxi Town, she looked at it for a long time and burst into tears.

Perhaps the old man looked very similar to her grandfather in her previous life. Perhaps the old man’s care and careful teachings for her were just for ten days. But she regarded the old man as the sustenance of her family affection in this life. This kind of feeling has nothing to do with blood, and it is not comparable to a cheap uncle who has been together for half a year but has no care for her.

While she was looking at her, the old man quietly left Qingxi Town with Zhang Congzheng and **** and others. After they left, the restaurant owner Liu Erye, who spent 500 taels of silver to buy the recipe for Buddha Jumping the Wall, also quietly returned to the villa and reported to the master: "The old man has left Qingxi Town. Last night, he said goodbye to Luzhu. Zhang Congzheng and others have been by his side. The subordinates were not working hard and dared not get too close. They could not find out what he said to Luzhu. However, according to Dongzi, when the old man was having a meal, he praised Luzhu strongly in front of Lord Zhang and others, and had a high evaluation."

Fu Heng lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

"Young Master..." Lie Zhi raised his head and looked at Fu Heng, wanting to speak but stopping.

"If you have anything, just say it." Fu Heng put the teacup in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Lie Zhi.

"According to the observations of his subordinates and what Dongzi said, the old man attaches great importance to Luzhu, praised it many times, and loved it very much. Before leaving, he specially prescribed a prescription for her and personally took thirty doses of medicine, asking Dongzi to decoct her medicine on time every day to adjust her body. It is not an exaggeration to say that he treats Luzhu like a granddaughter. The old man is upright and selfless all his life, never seeking selfish interests for himself, and has a high prestige, and even the Emperor of Dachen highly praised him. The subordinate thought that if the young master returned the Luzhu's contract to her and let her live a free and prosperous life, the old man would definitely be very happy. The old man was happy, and the big things he planned might be able to get a hand in his arms. Even if he was biased towards the young master, he would be good."

"The old man has been upright and selfless all his life. How could he intervene in the battle between Yanbei and Dachen because of Luzhu and help me? You are thinking too well." Fu Heng shook his head.

"Even if you don't help, selling him a favor is better than making him feel dissatisfied, right?" Lie Zhi raised his eyes, looked at the young master, and said carefully, "It's just a little girl. If she let her go, she won't cause any losses to the young master. On the contrary, he made the old man remember a favor. This deal is very cost-effective."

Seeing the young master staring at the green bamboo outside the door, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Liezhi felt worried, wondering if he had said something wrong. You know, the young master has always been extremely smart and has no worries. How could the young master not understand such a simple truth? Then why did the young master still look thoughtful and hesitate for a long time? Is there anything deeper in it that he didn't expect?

It seems that the difference between me and the young master is not a little bit different!

Fu Heng lowered his eyes, reached out and picked up the teacup again, took a sip of the slightly cool tea, and then he seemed to have made a decision and said, "Lu Zhu is still young and under thirteen years old. If she releases her, what does she make a living and how can she protect herself? Since the old man has no hint and lets her out rashly, if something happens, how can we explain to the old man? I think it's better to do it first. When she grows up in two or three years, she will slowly take it."

Liezhi frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Finally, I raised my eyes and looked at the young master suspiciously, hoping that the young master could help him.

Why can't he understand what the young master said? So what if Lu Zhu is still young? The young master is fifteen years old and is doing big things in the world. Lu Zhu is so smart and has a good vegetable. What's the point of supporting himself? Let her live in Qingxi Town, and what else can I worry about? Besides, I'm worried that she can't protect herself and recruit her into that restaurant, whether she is a cook or a half-owner, will not solve all the problems? What I have to do here is just the attitude of putting Lu Zhu freely. After two or three years, the daylily will be cold! The domestic situation has been settled. Even if I get the favor of the old man, what's the use of it? What's more, two or three years later, does the old man still remember Lu Zhu like this? Or do you think that there is a better place than putting it now and strike while the iron is hot?

Seeing Lie Zhi's suspicious gaze, Fu Heng put the teacup on his back, stood up, and shouted: "Lie Wei." Lie Wei said in the corresponding voice, "I want to go out for a walk." After that, he threw Lie Zhi, who was full of sleepy faces, and took Lie Wei out of the door.

"Young Master, Young Master..." After following the young master for ten years, Lie Zhi has never encountered such a thing as being left behind by the young master. If you can't figure out what you can't figure out, you will easily make mistakes if you don't know what you can't figure out. So when you can't figure out what you can't figure out, you must ask clearly and never be a confused insect. This is what the young master said! So he firmly implemented the young master's order, but what happened to the young master today?

But Fu Heng obviously didn't want to explain it to him. He seemed to have never heard of his screams. With Liewei, he left in an instant!

"Forget it, if you don't let go, it's not a big deal. Even if it's a big deal, if you have a young master here, why should you be so?" Liezhi muttered a few dissatisfied words and returned to Qingxi Town by himself.
