Chapter 24: King Lu has an appointment(2/2)

Wang Changfeng knew that this was King Lu, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed down: "I am Wang Changfeng, please pay my respects to the prince."

The old man then turned around, glanced at Wang Changfeng a few times, and said, "Is your boy Wang Changfeng? I don't think he has three heads and six arms. Why do you say it so evilly?"

Wang Changfeng said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. I have been born with two arms and two legs. I really don't have any extra ones."

King Lu laughed loudly after hearing this: "You are quite interesting, kid. You come from Qixing Island and spend all your time at sea. Do you know how to raise fish?"

Wang Changfeng said seriously: "My lord, I really don't know how to keep fish. However, I do know a little bit about the habits of fish."

King Lu didn't have high expectations for him at first, but when he heard what he said, he immediately became energetic: "Then come quickly and help me take a look. These fish don't like to eat recently, but they make me very worried."

Seeing that he was so interested, Wang Changfeng had no choice but to move to the edge of the fish tank and carefully observe the fish in the tank. The young man also came close and looked at Wang Changfeng with reverence on his face.

Wang Changfeng looked at it carefully, went to the water surface and smelled it, then dipped his finger in a little of the water in the tank, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

King Lu had never seen such a posture before. He was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "What problem did you find?"

Wang Changfeng pondered for a while and said: "To raise fish, you need to raise water first. Your prince's fish tank and fish are both top-notch, but the water is not that interesting."

King Lu was puzzled and said: "I also change the water for them frequently. The water I use is spring water specially transported from the mountains outside the city."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "That's it. Fish are nostalgic for old things. It's not good to change the water too frequently, otherwise they will feel insecure. For one thing, mountain spring water is rich in nutrients and is excellent for raising fish.

Yes, it's just that the spring water is cold, and most fish can't bear it. They have to bask in the sun for half a day. Secondly, speaking of these fish, this yellow brocade must have just been in the house for no more than three days.

This fish is delicate and timid by nature. I am afraid that it is because the water quality is not suitable and there is no stable environment, so it refuses to eat. As for the red-tailed seabream, it likes the shade and likes to live under rocks.

If you are lying at the bottom of the water now, you must not have found a good place to stay."

After hearing this, King Lu suddenly realized: "No wonder the fish I raised died of old age. It turns out there are so many fishes, which is a bit interesting. Come here, take the fish tank out to dry it, and pick out a few beautiful rockery stones to put in the fish tank.

.”

Wang Changfeng said: "Don't expose it directly to the sun, or the fish won't be able to bear it. It's better to find a shaded place and leave it for two hours."

King Lu looked Wang Changfeng up and down again and said, "You really know a lot. It seems that girl Minmin has a pretty good eye."

Wang Changfeng knew that coming here today probably had something to do with Princess Min, but he didn't know what the girl said in front of King Lu, so he had to be cautious in his words and actions and adapt to circumstances.

At this time, the young man spoke: "Dad, Master Wang has agreed to accept me as his disciple. Right, Master?"

Wang Changfeng didn't know for a moment whether it was right or wrong, so he could only smile calmly.

At this moment, someone outside the hall said: "I don't believe it, that boy can accept you as his apprentice?"

Before he finished speaking, a young girl walked into the hall. It was Zhu Minmin. I saw that she was a little different from the previous two times today. She actually changed into a rather ladylike outfit, with a long skirt that touched the floor and a jingle ring. She looked like a lady.

Everyone is a lady. It’s just that Wang Changfeng is used to her old dress, but seeing this look today, she feels a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Minmin was heard saying angrily: "You brat, what are you looking at? I've never seen a beautiful woman before."

Wang Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have stared at the girl a few more times, and quickly said: "My lord, please forgive me. I just feel that my attire is different from the past, and I am a bit unresponsive."

Zhu Minmin stamped her foot and shouted: "Dad thought I didn't dress like a lady before. Today I changed into a lady's dress, and you don't feel comfortable with it. What do you want me to do?"

The three people in the hall couldn't help laughing after hearing this. The young man rushed to say: "On one side is dad and on the other side is husband. Sister, you will have to choose from now on."

Zhu Minmin's cheeks turned red and she scolded: "You are the only one who talks a lot. Have you done all your homework? Adults are talking here, so don't interrupt!"

Wang Changfeng was at a loss when he heard this. This prince was too bold to speak out. Why did his husband come out? If this spread, the reputation of the princess would be ruined.

King Lu spoke at this time: "Gao Hui, don't talk nonsense, you are shameless, your sister is still getting married."

After hearing King Lu's reprimand, Zhu Gaohui stuck out his tongue and did not dare to speak any more.

King Lu sighed: "I just have a pair of sons and daughters, a twin brother and a twin. Gao Hui was born half an hour earlier than Min Min. Their mother was born early, and she didn't take good care of her since she was a child, so the girls don't look like girls.

This boy doesn’t look like a boy either.”

Zhu Gaohui listened honestly, but Zhu Minmin was unhappy: "Dad, what did you say in front of outsiders?"

King Lu realized that he had made a mistake and said with a smile: "Okay, no more words. Let's go and eat!" Then he took the lead and walked out of the palace.

It turns out that the servants of the mansion had already set up a banquet in the pavilion outside. The surroundings were cool and windy, and the green water was shady. It was indeed a good place to eat.

After the four people sat down, Wang Changfeng was in the middle. Wang Changfeng was about to sit down, but Wang Changfeng forced him to sit next to him. Zhu Gaohui quickly grabbed the seat next to Wang Changfeng, so Zhu Minmin had to sit directly opposite Wang Changfeng. But in this way, the four of them sat down.

Their eyes were facing each other, and I couldn't even think about not looking at them.

King Lu was carefree and informal, and said: "There are no outsiders today. It's purely a family banquet. You don't have to be restrained. You can eat and drink freely. There are plenty of rooms here if you get drunk. You can sleep wherever you want."

Wang Changfeng smiled and said: "The prince is joking. Although Changfeng has an average drinking capacity, I will try my best to have two more drinks with you."

King Lu said: "You drank a jar of roasted knives in one go, and you still claim to be an average drinker? Don't think I don't know anything."

Wang Changfeng was speechless for a moment and defended: "The prince didn't know something. After drinking it that day, he went back at night and slept until noon the next day. He even forgot how he got into bed."

King Lu laughed heartily and said, "We are all cheerful people. Drinking here is like visiting a brothel, just for fun."

Zhu Minmin yelled from the side: "Dad, my daughter is still here!"

King Lu realized that he had made a mistake again, and quickly apologized: "Look at dad's mouth, he is so confused. Come on, let's drink first."

Here Wang Changfeng and King Lu were pushing cups and changing cups, and Zhu Gaohui was diligently picking up food beside him, which was quite disharmonious. Zhu Minmin was left sitting there, neither drinking nor drinking, so she had to lower her head and sulk.

King Lu suddenly said: "What do you think of the errand the emperor has arranged for you this time?"

Wang Changfeng shuddered and said seriously: "Changfeng doesn't dare to make any comments, I'm just trying my best."

King Lu nodded and said: "My fourth brother has a lot of things on his mind. You are working as an errand outside. You should be more careful. You can say anything. Your life is your own."

Wang Changfeng deeply believed it, and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the advice. Changfeng will keep it in mind."

King Lu waved his hand and said: "I'm not just doing this for your own good. The main thing is that I have another person here. If you really have a problem, I'm afraid this person will also have to live or die." He glanced at Zhu Minmin.

Although Zhu Minmin lowered her head, she had been listening carefully to the conversation between the two. Seeing that the prince was talking about herself again, she couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Dad, who said it's life or death? If you continue to do this, Minmin will not be able to do anything in the future.

I told you." After saying that, his face had already turned red and his head lowered even further.

Wang Changfeng was also very embarrassed and said with a smile: "The prince is joking again. Changfeng must be careful to survive. If he sees something bad, he will run away."

King Lu laughed loudly and said: "That's what I mean! This guy is very transparent, a bit like my style back then."

Wang Changfeng held back his laughter, thinking that you were like this when you were old. Zhu Minmin and Zhu Gaohui also heard the problem and laughed secretly.

King Lu knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and he cursed unconvincedly: "You ungrateful little bastards, if I hadn't run so fast back then, where would you two be like now?"

After saying that, even I found it funny and started laughing. For a while, the pavilion burst into laughter, and it was so harmonious.

After drinking for two hours, King Lu was already too drunk and was helped by his servants to go back to his room to sleep. Zhu Gaohui also shouted that he drank too much and felt uncomfortable, so he ran away holding on to the railing, leaving only the two sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.

The two of them could not even see their servants.

Wang Changfeng also suddenly realized that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere. Why was he and Zhu Minmin alone in such a large garden? Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly found that Zhu Minmin on the opposite side was raising his head and looking at him, so he had to sit back again.

Wang Changfeng was at a loss for words and said, "It was Yu Zhen'er's fault in the inn yesterday. I apologize to the princess on her behalf."

Zhu Minmin said: "It's not her fault, it's because I had a bad temper and talked nonsense, which offended her. Don't blame her, I think she seems to care about you." After saying that, he lowered his head and fiddled with the ends of his hair.

Wang Changfeng saw that although she lowered her head, she still looked like a cute little girl, and couldn't help but feel tenderness in her heart. However, since he entered the capital, he has changed one after another. Needless to say, Yu Zhen'er was already a childhood sweetheart, and the roots of love were planted early.

I met Zhu Minmin again, who seemed to be a difficult master, not to mention Li Xiaowan from Chunyinfang, who would be petrified every time I saw her. It was like one person became three adults.

The two of them just sat facing each other, neither of them speaking, only the gentle breeze blowing through the pavilion and the birds chirping happily around them.

At this time, behind a cluster of flowers and trees far away from the pavilion, King Lu and Zhu Gaohui were hiding behind and watching secretly.

Zhu Gaohui said: "Dad, these two people just sit like this and don't move? Can they still sit still?"

King Lu scolded in a low voice: "Silly thing, when your mother and I were young, we could sit like this for a whole day without talking. Sometimes not talking is more interesting than talking. You will gradually understand in the future."
