Chapter 169 was first published in Guanshan Study.
Before Zhou Le could finish his reply, Wen Yu's steps froze.
She recalled how Chi Huang had always loved taking her on wandering trips back in the Spring Temple. Unfortunately, they would always be caught by their master, and she would be as nervous as she was now, unable to move.
call……
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and couldn't help but signal Song Linsheng beside her with her eyes, wanting him to think of a way to get away.
However, Song Linsheng's eyes showed a relaxed and calm expression, without any fear, and he didn't seem to care about the current predicament.
"Madam Wen?" Zhou Lehui's light voice sounded at the right time. Although it was not urgent, it already contained a bit of strange meaning.
Wen Yu frowned, and was in a state of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry in front of others.
It was only because of her lack of consideration that she was in the dilemma she was facing now.
"Just go ahead, Sister Wen!"
The hem of his clothes rustled with the soft call—
Wen Yu looked down and saw Ah Zhu grabbing her clothes and pulling them gently.
"Mr. Zhou's fruit is delicious." Ah Zhu's watery eyes were filled with joy as she offered a treasure. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother A Yuan."
"Ah Zhu..." A Yuan gently interrupted her, pulling her away from Wen Yu. "Sister Wen is here to pick you up from school."
"I can go back with Mr. Shen or Brother Xiyan!" Ah Zhu didn't notice anything wrong, and even had a smug look on her face. "Don't worry, Sister Wen!"
"I..." Wen Yu hesitated. Facing Ah Zhu's innocent face and childish words, she didn't know how to respond.
"Song Linsheng..." Wen Yu called softly, looking to the side for help.
"Yeah." Song Linsheng nodded slightly, confirming Wen Yu's idea.
Whatever, it’s just a cup of tea.
Wen Yu comforted herself in her heart. At worst, she would just not mention anything about Young Master Wen.
"In this case, I have no choice but to bother Mr. Zhou! I hope you won't blame me." Wen Yu spoke in a light tone, and the uneasiness in her heart disappeared.
"It's better to meet by chance than to be invited. This is the fate between Madam Wen and me." Zhou Lehui said with a faint smile, his every move showing full of charm and grace.
…
Shen Sheng and Xi Yan led Azhu, Ayuan and the students back to Mingde Academy first. After saying goodbye to him and his group, Wen Yu and Song Linsheng followed Zhou Lehui's steps inside.
The outside of the Wen Dao Book House is just pink walls and black tiles, which does not look very eye-catching, but the inside is full of diverse scenery and a unique world.
I didn't expect that the narrow gate actually opened up to an extremely spacious courtyard.
Along the way, there are flowers, plants, insects, fish, rockery, stone carvings, small bridges and flowing water, which are dazzling and dazzling. The sparse shadows of bamboo and cypress add a touch of elegance and uniqueness.
Wen Yu looked here and there, and when she saw something new and interesting, she would not forget to let Song Linsheng watch it with her.
There is a school in front of Mr. Zhou's mansion and her own residence in the back. The connection between them is filled with clusters of green bamboo, which makes it elegant and secluded.
On the contrary...it is not inferior to the style of Wen's house, Wen Yu thought to himself.
"Madam Wen, Lord Song, please--" Zhou Lehui stopped and stepped aside to invite Wen Yu and Song Linsheng to go first.
"Guanshan Study." Wen Yu looked up at the words on the plaque and recited them silently.
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Linsheng also followed Wen Yu's gaze.
"It's just a sign, not worth anything." Zhou Lehui didn't even raise his eyelashes and replied softly, "Please come in, both of you."
Guanshan Shuzhai is a good name.
Wen Yu nodded without comment and stepped in.
But for some reason, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This was her first time visiting Mr. Zhou’s Wendao Bookstore. How could she be familiar with the plaque in the courtyard?
Wen Yu couldn't help laughing in her heart. How strange! How strange!
When Wen Yu sat down at the table in front of the window, the smile had not yet subsided.
"Madam Wen, Lord Song, please."
It was not until Zhou Lehui poured the tea that Wen Yu came back to his senses.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Song Linsheng responded softly, and Wen Yu nodded frequently, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou."
An imperceptible laugh escaped from Zhou Lehui's lips, bringing life back to her, who seemed to be frozen by frost, like ice and snow melting.
Zhou Lehui raised his sleeves to take out a few plates of fruit and placed them on the table, and gestured to Wen Yu, "Madam Wen, please enjoy."
"This is..." The rising fragrance of tea stimulated Wen Yu's mouth and nose, but she had no intention of tasting it. She just stared blankly at the bowl in Zhou Lehui's hand.
"Since Ah Zhu has praised it so much, how can I not ask Madam Wen to comment on it?" Zhou Lehui had a faint smile on her cheeks, but judging from the deepening smile on her lips, she was in a very good mood at the moment.
"This is bamboo leaf cake." Zhou Lehui gave Song Linsheng a strange look. "I remember that Lord Song is also from Jiangyang. Why? Hasn't he ever treated Madam Wen to bamboo leaf cake?"
Wen Yu turned her gaze upon hearing this and fixed her eyes on Song Linsheng's face.
Song Linsheng's expression remained unchanged at first, but when Wen Yu looked at him, he couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
"Bamboo leaf cake, like herring sashimi, is a famous delicacy in Jiangyang, but I forgot about this idea earlier. I..."
"That's fine!" Seeing Song Linsheng's voice growing fainter, Wen Yu quickly intervened, "Aren't we going to feast on Mr. Zhou's food today?"
Song Linsheng treated her very well. She had tried all kinds of dishes these days. She just missed a fruit, which was no big deal.
What's more, the fruit is right in front of us, so there is no regret at all.
"Hmm." Song Linsheng's eyebrows relaxed a little, and he raised his sleeve to put a bamboo leaf cake into the plate, carefully peeled off the fresh green outer layer, and then put the light yellow fruit wrapped in the fragrance of bamboo leaves into the jade plate.
Wen Yu's nose moved slightly as she sniffed the fragrance coming towards her. She couldn't help but look at Zhou Lehui sitting opposite her, and then at Song Linsheng beside her. It seemed that she had made some preparations before putting the fruit in front of her into her mouth.
"This bamboo leaf cake is nothing special. It's made by soaking fresh glutinous rice in water overnight, mixing it with honey, wrapping it in bamboo leaves, and steaming it in a wooden steamer. Then, it's tied with ginger leaves and steamed again when it's time to eat."
Zhou Lehui spoke in a light tone, with a calm expression on his face. The series of words he spoke seemed to be not complicated at all.
"It's sweet, soft and sticky, leaving a lingering aftertaste!" Wen Yu's eyes lit up again and again, and she was full of praise.
The dense texture of this bamboo leaf cake mixed with the infinite fragrance of bamboo leaves makes people feel as if they are among the clouds and in the bamboo forest.
"Azhu is right!" Wen Yu smiled and agreed repeatedly, "Mr. Zhou's fruits are truly unique."
Song Linsheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
This bamboo leaf cake is indeed unique, and it can actually sweep away Xiaoyu's previous anxiety. When he returns home, he will have to ask Song Bo to make some preparations.
Wen Yu smiled deeply, looking very satisfied.
When Zhou Lehui, who was sitting opposite him, saw this, his brows softened.
"Mrs. Wen, you're too kind." Zhou Lehui said politely, "It's just food to coax children."
Just as Zhou Le was about to reply, Wen Yu suddenly choked.
Coaxing a child? A child? Who? Ah Zhu? Or her?
Wen Yu coughed lightly twice, and couldn't help but hold his cheeks together. He chewed slowly and gently, for fear of making any noise.
However, Zhou Lehui was completely unaware and continued, "Speaking of Ah Zhu, Madam Wen, and Lord Song, I have something I would like to discuss with you two."
What?
Wen Yu put down the bamboo leaf cake in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" Wen Yu glanced sideways at Song Linsheng beside him.
She didn't know what the two of them could have to discuss with Mr. Zhou regarding Ah Zhu.
"Mr. Zhou, please speak." Song Linsheng nodded and responded softly.
"Originally, I shouldn't have said anything about this matter, but I saw that Shen Sheng didn't seem to care, and today I happened to run into Lord Song and Madam Wen, so I just said something."
A trace of apology appeared on Zhou Lehui's fair face, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Wen Yu quickly waved her hand and said soothingly, "Mr. Zhou, there's no need to be polite. Just speak frankly. Song Linsheng and I are all ears!"
"Although Ah Zhu and Ah Yuan are not students of my Wen Dao Academy, I must mention that they don't have proper names yet, which makes it inconvenient for them to interact with each other in the academy."
Zhou Lehui spoke earnestly, his eyes firm, "I know they are now living in Lord Song's residence. I hope you will take care of it. Even for the sake of future examinations, they must have a proper name register."
Wen Yu nodded as she listened. Mr. Zhou was right. Although he just wanted Ah Zhu and Ah Yuan to read some books and learn some words at the beginning, if they had the talent and diligence, it would not be a bad idea for them to continue studying.
When the time comes to study and take exams, I can't always use my current name.
"Yes, we have sent someone to the government office to register this matter. I believe it will be completed soon." Song Linsheng smiled softly and replied slowly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your concern."
Zhou Lehui smiled without saying anything, and only nodded slightly in response.
Wen Yu, who was standing next to him, frowned, a little puzzled. "Oh? But Lord Mu is in charge of this matter?"
"Of course." The registers in the government office were under the unified management of Lord Mu, and the personnel list was naturally no exception.
Wen Yu nodded, she was naturally confident in Lord Mu's work.
"These are all easy to handle, except that Ayuan and Azhu don't have surnames yet..." Wen Yu murmured.
"That's not difficult," Zhou Lehui continued. "Since Ah Zhu and Ah Yuan are under the care of Lord Song and Madam Wen, it's fine to use your surnames. The government won't object."
"Master Song, am I right?"
"Of course it's correct," Song Linsheng replied affirmatively, then turned sideways and teased Wen Yu, "I've discussed this with Ah Zhu and Ah Yuan, and they both want to share Sister Wen's last name."
"Me?" Wen Yuxing's eyes widened in shock.
Yes, she is not the kind of person who underestimates herself.
After all, Wen Yu was a thousand-year-old jade phoenix tree born and raised by nature, and the only disciple of the Spring Temple. Naturally, having the same surname as her, Wen, meant... unlimited glory...
Well, the scenery is beautiful.
Wen Yu raised her hand and pinched the tip of her nose, but she had no roots in the mortal world, and she couldn't tell when she would turn around and ascend to heaven.
What should we do if "Wenzhu" and "Wenyuan" are left unattended?
"Let's discuss this matter later." Thinking of this, Wen Yu began to laugh.
"Okay, it's not too late to make a decision after Lord Song and Madam Wen discuss it." Zhou Lehui nodded and raised his sleeve to pour tea for Wen Yu.
"Yes, yes, it's not too late." Wen Yu responded quickly, thinking quickly in his mind.
"I just don't know why Madam Wen and Lord Song came to visit today?"
