After nightfall, Bai Er, dressed in white, had already prepared things on the open space by the pond and lit mosquito-repelling incense.
The rack, charcoal fire, and ingredients are all ready.
The "white shirt and white skewers" are for the kitchen staff to skewer. Taizhou Prefecture is located near the sea, so there is plenty of fresh seafood.
Previously, when they returned from the West, they traveled from Kunzhou all the way through Jiangnan back to the capital. Along the way, Lu Zheng learned a lot from Gu Nian.
So tonight, Lu Zheng prepared all the food for Gu Xin, and she just had to watch from the sidelines.
Bai Yi and Bai Er Gu En and Zheng Qiu had already gotten used to the two of them. Although they hadn't seen them for more than half a month, they could still get used to it in just half a day.
"Wow! It smells so good! Third Sister, Gu Xiaosi, Xiao Qiu, Lao Bai Erbai, Xiao Dongxue, why didn't you tell me you were eating something delicious? Could you have come earlier?" Just as they started eating, the chubby Fatty Wang came running over, complaining loudly as he ran.
Lu Zheng turned to look at Fatty Wang, who was "rolling" over, pursed his lips, and felt relieved.
The first adult man that Xin Xin willingly took with her, hmm, he's definitely extraordinary!
He was just thinking that it would take another year or two for Lord Wang's son to slim down and become a talented young man, but he had been reborn, so what if he had changed?
He was also worried that Xin Xin had fallen for Wang Pangzi, who had gone from being a fat guy to a pretty boy!
As it turns out, the kid hasn't changed at all.
Lu Zheng thought of the Wang family's troubles in his previous life and felt it was necessary to find a suitable opportunity to remind them, but not now. The Wang family's troubles should happen next year. He would give Lord Wang a heads-up when he had time. Since Fatty Wang could do things for Xin Xin, and this was the first person Xin Xin had actively recruited, then let Fatty Wang's family have an easier time!
"Eh? Who is this...?" Fatty Wang approached and spotted Lu Zheng. His eyes lit up, and he glanced at Gu Xin beside Lu Zheng before immediately bowing. "I am Wang Shoucheng. You must be General Lu Zheng! I have long admired your name. Meeting you today, you are indeed even more impressive than the rumors suggest. General Lu and Princess Xin Xin are such a perfect match. Among all the people I have ever seen, you are the most well-matched couple. Talented man and beautiful woman, a match made in heaven, a perfect couple—these words are simply not enough to describe you two."
Gu Xin opened her eyes wide and looked at Fatty Wang, clicking her tongue and saying, "You've become so eloquent in just one day!"
Fatty Wang humbly shook his head: "Your Highness is mistaken. I am quite reserved in front of Your Highness, but I need not hide anything in front of General Lu. Besides, I had previously admired General Lu's demeanor, so I dared not speak recklessly. Now that General Lu is right in front of me, I simply cannot help but express my feelings, hence this statement."
Gu En walked over and patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder: "Old Wang, you're treating people differently! Brother Yuan is a general, so you speak to him in a very formal and scholarly manner, while I'm a proper student, but you speak to me in a very down-to-earth manner. Why is that?"
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "I've long heard that General Lu is both a scholar and a warrior, and is more than just a general. Perhaps, General Lu is also a scholar-general!"
Lu Zheng smiled and nodded. "Hmm, Wang Pangzi, who is still chubby and hasn't experienced family upheavals yet, is still as eloquent as ever." He said with a smile, "Young Master Wang, since you're so eloquent, why don't you say more?"
