She thought men only used their fists to fight or, like her father, relied on their words to choke someone to death. She never expected that men could also wield kitchen knives!
Lu Zheng stood up, swung the kitchen knife 360 degrees in the air, caught it steadily, and cupped his hands to Xue Qianyu: "Young Master Xue, you flatter me!"
Xue Qianyu was furious!
I could never beat this kid in a fight when we were kids, and now that I'm all grown up and old enough to get married, I still can't beat him.
"Xue Xiao Er, what a disgrace!" The emperor was so annoyed by Gu Xin's throbbing that he could only scold Xue Qianyu.
Gu Xin smiled as she watched Lu Zheng walk over. She knew that her Yuan Yuan brother could definitely beat this Young Master Xue.
Gu Xin wanted to say "Brother Yuanyuan, you're amazing!" but before she could finish speaking, she saw Xue Qianyu stand up, about to ambush Lu Zheng from behind.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Xin took a copper coin out of her purse and threw it at Xue Qianyu's hand.
Lu Zheng was startled. Before he could even think about why Xin Xin had suddenly made a move, he heard Xue Er behind him cry out, "Ouch!"
The emperor covered his face!
This is incredibly embarrassing!
"Why did you ambush my brother Yuanyuan?" Gu Xin ran behind Lu Zheng, spreading her arms out like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
Gu Si also ran over to help.
"Little girl, what I did was all about deception in war, but what you did was a sneak attack, you know?" Xue Qianyu rubbed his wrist and said irritably.
"Sister Xinxin, this is a fair and square attack! How is it a sneak attack? Uncle Ye saw it all," Gu Si said indignantly.
"Yes!" Gu Xin, who was thinking about how to retaliate, nodded quickly when she heard Sisi say this.
“My sister is protecting me! You don’t have a sister, you wouldn’t understand!” Lu Zheng turned around and laughed.
Xue Qianyu: Lu Er, you son of a bitch!
He recalled the terrifying memories of being disciplined by Lu Xue, the second sister of Lu, when he was a child. Back then, Lu Xue shamelessly said, "My sister protects me. You don't have a sister, so you don't understand!"
Well, now this brat has come to the village and taken on a bunch of "little sisters" again. That's too much!
...
Gu Xin and Gu Si were sent to play at the Yang family's house next door, and the emperor then began to discuss serious matters with Lu Zheng.
"I heard that you plan to send those crops to the capital by the end of next year? With your maternal grandfather?" the emperor asked, getting straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. Because we don't know the specific yield per acre of several crops, as well as the collection of seeds and how to consume them, we will have to wait until the end of next year," Lu Zheng said.
"Tell me in advance what rewards you intend to receive after sending me these crops," the emperor asked again.
"This humble citizen wishes to join General Peng's ranks as Zhou Yuan, starting as a common soldier and making my way in the world!" Lu Zheng said.
Because of his rebirth, many things will not happen according to the trajectory he knows. Therefore, he does not want to return to the Lu family like he did in his previous life, when his maternal grandfather offered crops and he received the emperor's life-saving charm.
If he wants to marry Xin Xin in this lifetime, he must have his own mansion, and all the glory must be earned by himself. He must let Xin Xin be the mistress of the house, with no one else in the mansion, so he will not have to worry about Xin Xin being harmed.
As for avenging his mother, that's definitely something he'll do.
"As long as these three crops can truly achieve what Brother Gu described, I grant your request! However..." The Emperor paused for a moment, "If Brother Gu can come to the capital next autumn to participate in the imperial examination, I hope that you and your maternal grandfather will appear with the crops at that time!"
“Okay!” Lu Zheng replied.
