She was worried, and when she saw that the young man was holding a collection of poems and essays that her father had read, her thoughts immediately became a little more vivid.
She may not be very good at understanding other people's poetry collections, but she knows her father's poetry collection very well. ..
If this man likes his father's poetry collection, then maybe he can say a few words to him.
Thinking of this, and seeing the handsome young man reading the poems intently, Cheng Susu couldn't help but said, "You also like Mr. Cheng Zhufeng's poems?"
After hearing Cheng Susu's question, the young man seemed to have discovered Cheng Susu.
He nodded.
Then he smiled gently at Cheng Susu and said, "Yes, Mr. Cheng's poems are fresh and delicate, with simple emotions and straightforward expressions of his heart. They are very different from the current palace poems with gorgeous words and meaningless words, so I have always admired them. These poems written by Mr. Cheng are not a collection of poems that should be produced by the court. It is a pity that Mr. Cheng only has this collection of poems that is different from other poems in the original text."
Hearing the other party's praise of his father's poems, Cheng Susu felt that his opportunity had come.
She smiled and said, "It turns out that the young master likes this type of poetry. In fact, as far as I know, he has other poems of the same type."
Hearing this, the young man smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the girl also likes Mr. Cheng's poems?"
Cheng Susu nodded slightly.
"I wonder if the girl can tell me where Mr. Cheng's other poetry collections can be sold?" Then the young man simply asked.
Hearing the young man's inquiry, Cheng Susu felt happy and said that the fish had taken the bait.
Although she was happy in her heart, Cheng Susu still had a look of embarrassment and pity on her face: "This collection of poems cannot be sold. The old man loves those poems very much, and he doesn't want to tell others about them. On weekdays, he only gives them as gifts. Some friends circulated it, and my father happened to have circulated the old man's works. He secretly wrote it down, wrote it into a booklet, and secretly hid it at home, so it can't be sold in the world."
"May I ask who the girl's father is?" the young man asked.
Upon hearing the young man's question, Cheng Susu immediately fell silent. She just lowered her head, seemingly in trouble.
The young man seemed to have finally remembered that he was a little abrupt in asking the other person who his father was so directly.
Therefore, he just bowed and said, "Girl, please don't take offense. It was me who was rude."
Cheng Susu just raised her head. She waved her hand towards the young man and said, "It's not that you're being rude, it's just that it's inconvenient for me to tell you my father's name."
Then she whispered, "But if you don't mind it, I can personally copy the poems in the poetry collection for you."
Hearing this, the young man just wondered, "Girl, will this be too much trouble for you?"
"It's not troublesome. I have nothing to do at home anyway, and now my writing practice is all about copying books." Cheng Susu said in a low voice.
After hearing this, the young man just smiled and said, "Then I'll help you, girl."
"You can wait for me here again in three days," Cheng Susu said again.
The young man just said hello.
Then Cheng Susu felt that she had nothing to talk to the young man, so she picked up other poetry collections on the side.
At the same time, a domestic slave suddenly came over. Then the servant looked at the young man and said, "Is the young master Lu Zhizhang, Master Lu?"
Hearing this, the young man turned around. When he turned around, he saw a young man dressed as a servant looking at him, so he only said yes.
Seeing that it was Lu Zhizhang, the slave immediately beamed and said, "I didn't expect that it was really Mr. Lu. My master just opened the curtain and took a look, and he felt that he was somewhat familiar. I didn't expect that he was actually Mr. Lu. Sir, my master wants to invite you." Go over to the golden lotus opposite and go around the Phoenix Tower to talk."
Lu Zhizhang only looked at the door, and then said softly, "Who is your master?"
The slave seemed to be afraid of being heard, so he just motioned for Lu Zhizhang to come over, and then whispered to him in a low voice.
On the other hand, Cheng Susu was dumbfounded when he heard the man call him Lu Zhizhang.
Lu Zhizhang, although she has never met him in person, she has heard his name.
This man is really famous.
He has been a child prodigy since he was a child.
When he was eight years old, his poem about willows was praised by everyone in the capital. From then on until the national examination, he was still regarded by his parents as someone else's child.
Coupled with his handsome appearance and outstanding talent, Lu Zhizhang is the dream girl of many people.
Although she knew that this man was famous, she didn't take it seriously. After all, her father had never had a good opinion of Lu Zhizhang, saying that he was just a showoff and a willful person. So after hearing what her father said a lot, she also had a negative opinion of him. Don't take it seriously.
But now she doesn't know if she is no longer the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. Now when she looks at Lu Zhizhang, she realizes that her father's evaluation of Lu Zhizhang may have been biased. He is clearly a gentle and gentle gentleman.
In front of him, Cheng Susu felt that she had a sense of inferiority in vain.
But then she thought that Lu Zhizhang had a wife, and his wife was not from a wealthy family, and she was not even very talented or beautiful.
Apart from the shortcoming of running away with others, he is not much better than his wife in other aspects.
Besides, if she was just a concubine, I guess their requirements wouldn't be too high, and it might not be a problem for me to enter the Lu family.
But after thinking about it, Cheng Susu didn't dare to express all her thoughts. After choosing a few romantic poetry collections and asking for some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, Cheng Susu just opened her mouth and asked the store, "How much do these cost in total?" silver?"
"Thirty taels." The storekeeper said after thinking for a while.
Hearing this, Cheng Susu subconsciously prepared to dig into her pocket.
However, after seeing the money in her pocket, Cheng Susu was immediately stunned.
She only had a total of ten taels of silver, which she took with her when she left Gao Wenyuan. She didn't expect that she would not be able to afford the money now.
She was immediately embarrassed.
"Guest? Do you still want this?" the waiter asked.
Cheng Susu was about to shake her head, but a clear voice came from behind her, "Of course."
"She didn't bring enough money to go out. Let me advance it for her." Lu Zhizhang said with a soft smile.
Cheng Susu immediately shook her head and said, "You don't have to do this. I'll just come and get it next time."
However, Lu Zhizhang just smiled gently, "Girl, this is just a small amount of money. What's more, I'm very grateful that girl is willing to help me."
Hearing what Lu Zhizhang said and being escorted out by Lu Zhizhang, Cheng Susu felt a little embarrassed. She only said softly, "This money is small money to Master Lu, but it is big money to me. But don't worry, Master Lu. I will return the money to you in the future."
Lu Zhizhang just smiled and said, "No, my dear, just take it as the pen and paper fee for you to copy the poetry collection for me."
After saying this, he followed the servant to the Golden Lotus Rao Feng Tower.
I didn't expect Lu Zhizhang to be such a gentle person.
When Cheng Susu went to find Yun'er with pen and paper in hand, she still looked like Lu Zhizhang in her heart and eyes.
When she came to the wonton stall, Yun'er immediately waved to Cheng Susu and said, "Miss, I also ordered a bowl of wontons for you. It's a cold day and the wontons are almost cold. Come over and eat wontons together." "
Her voice was not a small one, and the house slave just now naturally heard it too.
The slave couldn't help but whispered, "Mr. Lu, don't blame me for talking too much. The ladies from this wealthy family probably won't get involved with this man, and I see that they behave very frivolously. She looks like she is from the Fireworks Land, and she came here so proactively. It seems to me that she has some agenda, so it’s better for you to be careful, so as not to be tainted with anything."
Hearing this, Lu Zhizhang just chuckled and said, "Please worry about it, but I think this girl may be an official lady in trouble. Of course, even if she really has an agenda, I, Lu, have nothing to gain." . If this is really the case, I would like to know what this girl wants to do with me?"
He smiled openly, but it seemed that he didn't care about the girl at all. The encounter just now was just an unexpected encounter.
Afterwards, he followed his servant upstairs and saw Gao Yizhong sitting in the elegant room upstairs.
The private room is facing the study, but it is not possible to see clearly who is in the study. Now it seems that the mentor who promoted him may have discovered that he had already discovered it before he entered the study.
, but I don’t know why, but he took so long to come to find me at this moment.
But no matter what the other party's reasons were, Lu Zhizhang still didn't say anything. He only respectfully said, "Teacher."
Gao Yizhong nodded. He looked preoccupied, but a man in his forties was already aging.
He said calmly to Lu Zhizhang, "Zhizhang, please find a seat by yourself."
Lu Zhizhang responded yes.
Then Gao Yizhong saw him sitting down and said, "Zhizhang, are you busy with official business in Shangjing Mansion now?"
Unexpectedly, the other party just asked about this. Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "I'm not busy. Even if there are some cases, they are just small things caused by drinking too much around the New Year."
Hearing this, Gao Yizhong nodded. Then he thought about it for a long time and then whispered, "Zhizhang, the teacher has a favor here. I want you to help the teacher. I wonder if you are willing."
"As long as it's the teacher's order, Zhizhang will naturally be willing to do anything." Lu Zhizhang stood up quickly and said.
However, Gao Yizhong said softly, "Don't rush to agree first. You can talk about it after you hear what I said."
After hearing this, Lu Zhizhang could only say yes in a low voice.
Then Gao Yizhong said in a low voice, "Actually, I have a nephew. I think you should also know about this, right?"
Lu Zhizhang nodded.
Seeing him nodding in recognition, Gao Yizhong then said, "My nephew is ignorant and has no skills, and he often uses my reputation to lie around. His parents can't control him, and I can't blame him. I want this nephew to When I come to you, I will learn from you how to behave in the world."
