Of course, he would not find himself back when he woke up from sleep. Lu Zheng's days of recuperation were extremely boring, but fortunately his mother often sent snacks to him, and Ji Xiang, one of the two big maids, was also lively. After getting familiar with her, she liked to tell him some gossip, which made his recuperation life more interesting.

But even so, it did not mean that he could really be so peaceful and idle in the house. Yun's previous conversation with the Duke of Ying made her realize that she was too doting on her youngest son. Fortunately, it had not yet caused a big disaster and could still be remedied. She was always stern and fierce, and since she realized this, she immediately set about changing the child's temper.

So, when Yun calmly stated his purpose while drinking tea, Lu Zheng was immediately choked by the tea in his mouth.

After a lot of chaos, Lu Zheng coughed twice and said cautiously: "My eldest brother is always busy with official duties, so let's not bother him!"

"Your eldest brother has already agreed." Yun patted his back lovingly, "Besides, this is a stopgap measure. You are recuperating at home now, and you have fallen behind in a lot of studies. When you return home to study in the future, you naturally won't have to bother your brother anymore."

"I heard that my eldest brother has to work until late every day, and sometimes the lights in the room are not turned off until midnight. I really can't bear to let my eldest brother work harder."

Yun covered her lips and smiled, "Now that you are sick, you care about your brother." She touched Lu Zheng's head, "It's just teaching you a thing or two. It won't harm your eldest brother."

Although her tone softened, there was no room for maneuver.

Lu Zheng was about to cry, "Mom, I am your only biological son, and my elder brother was given to you as a gift when you recharged your phone bill.

" Yun stood up and said, "Okay, have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." After that, she went out and left.

Lu Zheng hurriedly saw his mother off. These days, he has been trying his best to imitate the original owner's words and deeds to prevent people from noticing the difference. Fortunately, in ancient times, children had to move to other courtyards when they were a little older and could not live with their elders. Lu Zheng was close to Madam Lu, but he only greeted her once a day and occasionally had a meal, not to mention his parents.

Thinking of it this way, he didn't have much objection to going to his elder brother's room to study. After all, the original owner was not much better than an illiterate, and his relationship with Lu Che was even more unfamiliar, so it shouldn't be noticed.

After thinking it through, Lu Zheng felt a little hungry. He was not used to the time here, so he always asked the two maids. But no one was in the room at this time, so he prepared to go out to check.

Before he went out, he heard faint crying and Jinlu's scolding from outside the door. Although they all kept their voices down, Lu Zheng had sharp ears, and the surroundings were really quiet, so he heard one or two.

"... You disturbed the third young master... Hurry up... The funeral is urgent..."

Lu Zheng simply opened the door and saw Jinlu standing in the yard scolding a little girl. Lu Zheng found that the little girl looked familiar, but he couldn't remember her for a moment. Jinlu saw Lu Zheng at a glance, and quickly asked the maid to go down, and came forward and bowed: "Third Master."

Lu Zheng asked: "What are you arguing about here?"

Jinlu's face turned pale: "Nothing, just an ignorant little girl, who actually disturbed the young master, it's my fault."

Lu Zheng saw that she was about to kneel down, and hurriedly pulled her: "... I just asked, if you don't want to say it, forget it."

Jinlu really shut up.

Lu Zheng suddenly felt bored.

At this time, Jixiang came in with a snack box. She was one year younger than Jinlu, but her temper was much more lively. The only reason she stayed with Lu Zheng was because of her good skills in making snacks. Although they were both maids, Ji Xiang had a good relationship with Jin Lu and always listened to her. Seeing Lu Zheng and Jin Lu standing in the yard, and Jin Lu looking unhappy, she hurried over to greet them.

"Third Master, come to the room and have some snacks!"

Lu Zheng also put aside Jin Lu's business and went into the room. Ji Xiang arranged the four kinds of snacks one by one, and took out the bowls and plates and placed them in front of Lu Zheng.

There are green bean cakes, which are made of glutinous rice and green bean flour and are square in shape. There is a bamboo leaf underneath, and light green cakes are placed on the dark green bamboo leaf, which is very refreshing; there is chestnut cake, which is made of steamed chestnuts kneaded into paste, wrapped with a layer of cake skin, and rolled in oil. The skin is crispy and slightly yellow, and the chestnut paste inside is soft and delicious; there is lotus seed cake, which is delicate and sweet, sweet and smooth. The white cake is sprinkled with a layer of sugar-soaked osmanthus, which exudes a rich fragrance. The last one is the jujube paste yam cake that is always available in the palace.

These four kinds of snacks are all refreshing, and the colors are beautifully matched. Each one is made very small, and it can be seen that Jixiang really put a lot of thought into it.

Lu Zheng didn't really punish them that day, but just symbolically deducted one month's salary. Jinlu and Jixiang thought they were doomed, but Lu Zheng let them go so easily. They were grateful. Jixiang was not as meticulous as Jinlu in daily service, but she also made snacks for Lu Zheng in different ways every day.

Lu Zheng just took a look and said to Jixiang, "You've worked hard."

Jixiang smiled immediately, and the two little pear-shaped swirls on her cheeks looked even more adorable. Lu Zheng coughed. He knew that these two girls had some feelings for him, but he had no interest in them and didn't want to be a scumbag, so he just pretended not to know.

Jixiang saw that Lu Zheng was just eating snacks, and immediately pouted in disappointment.

Jinlu was attentive and said, "Young Master, eat slowly. You won't be able to eat soon."

Lu Zheng put down the snack in his hand and was about to stand up and walk to digest his food when he saw the housekeeper Lu An coming over with several teenagers around twelve or thirteen years old.

These teenagers were a little reserved but very well-behaved. They followed Lu An in without looking around. They were wearing servants' clothes but they were very clean. They came to the front of the house and stood respectfully.

Lu Zheng walked out curiously: "Uncle An, what is this for?"

Lu An smiled kindly and said: "This is the book boy that Madam prepared for the young master. When the young master goes back to study at home in the future, he will have to bring a few people with him."

Lu Zheng didn't say anything. The original owner didn't like to have a lot of people around him, and neither did he. So after Lu An finished speaking, he walked up to the young men.

Lu An was still introducing them: "They are all family children. Madam is worried about the young master, so she also hopes to keep them by your side to take care of you."

"I naturally know that mother loves her son deeply." Lu Zheng smiled, then walked to a chubby boy, "What's your name?"

The chubby boy looked at him respectfully: "My name is Ah Fu. When the young master is away, please call me."

"I remember... you were from the outer courtyard before?"

Ah Fu's eyes lit up: "Young master, do you remember me?"

Lu Zheng touched his chin. In the original owner's vague memory, he did save a wrongly accused boy by accident. Now this boy is his book boy, so it can be considered a fate.

He pointed at Ah Fu and said to Lu An: "This is him."

Lu An hesitated: "Young Master, why don't you pick a few more?"

Lu Zheng frowned: "I'm going to study, why do I need so many bookboys? One is enough."

Since the bookboys have been chosen, the matter of studying in Lu Che's study is on the agenda.

Lu Che's study has been decorated long ago, just waiting for Lu Zheng to move in. Lu Zheng tried every possible way but couldn't escape this fate. He could only reluctantly take Ah Fu to Feihong Courtyard.

Ah Fu put his pens and books in place, and stood aside obediently.

Lu Zheng sighed and opened the book. The dense words dazzled him. The only good thing was that he actually recognized these words, but there were no punctuation marks. After reading this book, he felt that he was going to collapse.

Ah Fu was grinding ink for him while he said, "The eldest master will be back at twilight hour, so you should write twenty pages of big characters first."

Lu Zheng held the brush as if facing a formidable enemy, and then drew a crooked horizontal line on the rice paper.

"..."

Ah Fu and he looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Ha...haha, I haven't held a brush for a long time, I'm not used to it..." Lu Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling very frantic. Why did his mind remember but his body didn't?

Lu Zheng didn't believe it, and he grabbed the brush and vowed to write a proper character.

When Lu Che returned to the mansion, he found that his study was quiet, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The attendant at the side immediately went to ask the person serving in the study room with great tact. When he came back, he said with a strange look on his face: "Sir, it is said that the third young master practiced calligraphy in the room for the whole afternoon."

Lu Che was also surprised, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he went back to his own yard to change clothes. His wife was the only daughter of the former Minister of War Pei Jiao. Pei and him had been married for many years and the two had long been in sync. While helping him change his clothes, she asked curiously: "What happened today?"

Lu Che shook his head.

Pei did not ask any more questions and asked someone to bring the two children over.

"Let them wait a while before coming over." Lu Che waved his hand, "I'll go to the study to see my third brother first."

Pei smiled and said, "I heard from the servants that my third brother was very hardworking today. He stayed in the study all day. He didn't ask for food or drink, nor did he sneak out to play. It's rare."

Lu Che's face relaxed slightly, "I think this incident has taught him a lesson! I hope he has really changed for the better and doesn't make grandma and parents worry anymore."

"You! If my third brother knew that you were speculating about him like this, I'm afraid he would be unhappy."

"I'm just worried that this kid's nature is hard to change, and we'll be happy in vain."

"Okay, if you want to suspect, suspect the prisoners in prison, don't distrust your family members." Pei said somewhat unhappily. She has been married for nearly ten years, and she has watched Lu Zheng grow up from a little kid. Lu Zheng was very cute when he was young, and he always respected her as his elder sister-in-law. Besides, she didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Zheng. Although he was a little bit of a playboy, he didn't do anything wrong. Born in such a family, what's wrong with being a little outspoken?

Lu Che shook his head secretly when he saw Pei's expression. He didn't want to argue with Pei, so he said, "I know, I'll go see him and come back."

"Third brother always responds to soft words, so don't be too tough, lest he rebels, which is not good."

Seeing that Lu Che agreed, Pei didn't say anything more, but just straightened his robe for him, and watched him walk towards her study.

Lu Che walked out of the yard. Although he didn't agree with Pei's words, if Lu Zheng really changed this time, the Western Region fine iron dagger he wanted last time could be given to him as a reward.

Thinking of this, Lu Che stepped into his study room with confidence, and then his face changed.

"What is this?!"
