C20 Grandpa's Noonday

After this torture, both of them were covered in sweat. Zuo Shaoqing didn't see it, so he definitely didn't want to wipe Zuo Shaoqing's body again.

"The homecoming examination is coming soon. I'm afraid that I won't have the time to bring food over to this brother's place during the late morning, so …" "Hahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Zuo Shaoqing puffed up his chest, but he still didn't have the guts to say something that would make Young Duke Lu hungry.

Lu Zheng was indeed worthy of being the most revered person in the entire Great Yang. He actually agreed without any difficulties, causing Zuo Shaoqing's prepared draft to not even come in handy.

"Then... "Brother, rest early and come back tonight."

"Bring a roast chicken."

Zuo Shaoqing narrowed his eyes and saluted with a smile. He said with a sincere attitude, "I'll ask the doctor for your opinion later. After all, your brother is severely injured. I hope you don't mind." You still want to eat roast chicken? I've decided to bring you some steamed buns today!

If he dared to mention this kind of request again, Zuo Shaoqing would directly tell him that his family was poor and he would feel embarrassed. In any case, it was true before yesterday.

As for the banknotes that Zuo Second Master had given them, that was their secret that they were taciturn about.

Zuo Shaoqing didn't hear Lu Zheng's voice after waiting for a while. When he focused his eyes, that person had already closed his eyes and ignored the person beside him.

Zuo Shaoqing actually wasn't afraid of Lu Zheng's request. The more requests he made, the more he owed him. Although he was unhappy, he would still write them down on the list so that he could get them back in the future.

But how could Lu Zheng's attitude be counted? Was this because he had to satisfy him? Zuo Shaoqing was filled with resentment: With such an undesirable character, it's no wonder that he would be persecuted like this!

Returning to the Zuo's Mansion in a hurry, Zuo Shaoqing asked Luo Xiaoliu to bring more hot water. Before Nanny Liu stood up, he comfortably took a hot bath.

Yesterday, although he bought a lot of things, it was still insufficient. At least he should prepare a spittoon for Lu Zheng, otherwise how could he go to the toilet when he was not around?

After a night of contemplation, Luo Xiaoliu had decided that his family's master must have kept an outer room. Otherwise, why would he buy these things every day? He didn't think that the clothes, shoes, and socks he bought could actually be worn by someone from the outer room.

Just as he walked out of the room, Luo Xiaoliu bumped into Master Zuo Family. He quickly bowed and said: "Good afternoon!"

Before San Ye became like this, the people Luo Xiaoliu was most afraid of were the madam and the lord. The former always made him tense up, but the latter always made his hair stand on end.

"If I don't stay in my room to take care of your master, then where are you going?" Zuo Shaoyang's deep voice sounded above his head.

Luo Xiaoliu rolled his eyes, "Reporting to the boss, San Ye said he wants to eat the roasted chicken from De Sheng Lou, let me buy it."

"Is this something he can eat now?" No need to go, let the kitchen stew an old hen. " With that, he ignored attendant and walked into the room.

Ah? Luo Xiaoliu looked up nervously, only to see Lord Zuo turning around. He felt bitter: If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have said I'd go and buy roast chicken. How nice would it be to buy a plum!

His feet felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. He first went to the kitchen to pass on the orders from the lord before returning to the courtyard.

Zuo Shaoqing listened to all the commotion outside. When Zuo Shaoyang entered the room, he immediately struggled to get out of the bed, "Why is Big Bro here?"

"Don't move! "Lie still!" Zuo Shaoyang quickly walked to the bedside and pushed Zuo Shaoqing back onto it.

Zuo Shaoqing, who was just pretending, leaned on the soft pillow, held his wound and coughed twice, "No need, Brother. The doctor said that you can get off the bed in two days."

Zuo Shaoqing originally planned to lie on the bed before the country exam, but things had changed now. He couldn't wait until after midnight to take care of Lu Zheng everyday, so he let Old Doctor change his mind and said he would rest for two more days.

"Seeing your pale face, it would be better for you to rest for a few more days, lest you leave behind the root of your illness in the future."

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him emotionally, "Thank you, Brother!" With a change in his tone, he revealed a worried expression, "The country test is coming up in a few days. I don't know if my body will be able to hold on until the end of the country test."

The hometown examination was divided into four stages: the 'Classic of Four Books and Five Classics', the 'Scheme', and the 'Poem'. Each stage required three days. If one did not have sufficient stamina, many students would faint in the dorm.

Zuo Shaoqing was sensitive to the fact that when the topic was brought up, a trace of gloominess flashed through Zuo Shaoyang's eyes. That was true. His elder brother was almost twenty this year, and he had been in high school for five years. Yet, he could not rush to the capital to take the examinations. How could he be willing to be so full of poems and books?

It was no wonder that Zuo Shaoyang would do anything to ensure his future, but all these years, he had been depressed and had worn down his patience.

Since he was so heartless back then, in this life, don't blame yourself for being ruthless. Zuo Shaoyang, in this life, you are destined to lose your official position!

"You're still young, and your body is still the most important. Even after three more years, you're still only sixteen. Don't worry."

Zuo Shaoqing's lips curved up into a brilliant smile. He shook Zuo Shaoqing's hand intimately like a young man who was cared for by his elders. "Big Bro said it's just for us to try. The outcome isn't important."

When the examination was over, he would give Zuo Family a pleasant surprise. The youngest High Scholar of Zuo Family would actually be an unfavored concubine.
