September 25th is a day for tailoring, getting married, setting up a bed, consecrating, and meeting relatives and friends. It is taboo to install beams, consecrate, set up horses, and combine longevity trees.

"Master's wife, are you up so early?"

According to Mrs. Chen's plan, she was supposed to get up at six o'clock, wash up and cook breakfast for her husband and young apprentice. But now when she came downstairs, she found that Lu Ze was already busy in the kitchen, which made her

I had the illusion that I had woken up late. I glanced at the clock in confusion. It was around 6:20, and the pot was boiling. With a little calculation, I could guess the time when Lu Ze started cooking.

"Daze, did you not sleep well?"

"No, I slept very well, but I'm used to going to bed early and getting up early, so I wake up at about the same time every day."

After answering, open the lid of the pot, stir the pot with a spoon, put half a spoonful of rice grains in the pot and tilt it. When you see that the porridge is slightly sticky, add green vegetables and a little salt to taste.

"Men in their thirties are the age where they love to sleep. I remember when your master was your age, he wouldn't wake up even if the lid of the wind room was blown off. He wouldn't be energetic if he didn't sleep until eight o'clock every day. You're like this

How many hours have you slept? Or... go back and sleep for a while? Leave the rest to the mistress, and I will call you when it is done."

In fact, Du Xiu'e didn't know how to communicate with Lu Ze. The two had not known each other for a long time, and she was not a familiar person. Besides Lu Ze, the youngest disciple Song Guiyuan had been under Chen Yongbin for sixteen years.

With the gradual accumulation of time and affection, she will truly treat her husband's apprentices like her own children.

If you ask her to treat Lu Ze, who has not yet officially entered the apprenticeship, as if she were her own child, just like she treats other apprentices, she really can't do it now. It would be unrealistic to just call her "Master's Wife" and accept him.

But the old lady has also noticed Lu Ze's character these days. She also likes this young man very much. Even if she can't push him into the house without being polite like she does with other apprentices, she will.

The attitude of giving care is here, but the way of expressing it is different.

"It's really not necessary. Just rest, Master. I really don't sleep much. Seven hours a day is enough. If I sleep any more, I'll have a headache. Okay, I'll do it."

The old lady was born as a guqin player. When she was forty, she became famous all over the imperial capital and could be called a great leader. However, when she was young, she lived a very poor life and did a lot of manual labor that hurt her fingers. This also led to her condition in her sixties.

Suffering from tenosynovitis and other finger joint diseases, he stopped playing the piano for more than ten years, which was a pity for many die-hard listeners.

Seeing that the old lady's fingers were trembling slightly, Lu Ze couldn't bear to ask her to take over his job. After refusing three or four times, he let the old lady give up and sat at the dinner table, watching Lu Ze's quick hands and feet and the ingredients being added to the pot.

We didn't talk much, we just talked about Lu Ze's family and work.

At around seven o'clock, Teacher Chen came down from upstairs and saw the food on the table. Lu Ze was also sitting beside him. He was a little surprised, but also very satisfied. He had heard that Lu Ze was diligent, but now he was sure that this was true.

Yes, Lu Ze is much better than Song Guiyuan, that little bastard who slept until past ten o'clock and had to go and order meals by himself.

Breakfast is not rich. It consists of salty vegetable porridge, salted duck eggs, a plate of small pickles, and four steamed buns. Compared with ordinary people, it seems simple, but it suits the taste of the old couple. Influenced by traditional education, Chen

The teacher's family has always adhered to the principle of saying nothing during food and sleep. There was not much communication at the dinner table, and the conversation was pitiful. Until the last person put down their bowls and chopsticks, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.

"I'll go."

Before Chen Yongbin could speak, Lu Ze stood up and came to the entrance, looking out through the peephole. There were many people outside, there must be six or seven people. The two middle-aged men headed by him were about forty years old to

The fifty-year-old man was holding a gift box in his hand and talking about something. Then the man on the left rang the doorbell again. At this moment, Lu Ze opened the door.

"This... you are Lao Jiu, right? Listening to Master talking about you for so many days is like meeting a real person. I am your fifth brother, and this is your seventh brother. Okay, don't look for slippers. I have been barefoot.

Come in, Master, Lao Qi and I are here."

The man who claimed to be Fifth Brother just entered the door. He smiled at Lu Ze and nodded, then shouted into the room. Another middle-aged man reached out and patted Lu Ze on the shoulder. He went to find a pair of black shoes in the shoe cabinet.

The cotton mops with a puppy pattern, and the coat was conveniently put on the hanger.

The fifth senior brother, Wang Libin, and the seventh senior brother, Liu Pengju, both work in the Cultural Affairs Bureau. Although they are not as powerful as the second senior brother, they are still high-level leaders and are the kind of big shots in the circle who can tell the truth.

In contrast, the seventh brother was more restrained than the fifth brother. After changing his slippers, he greeted the family members to come in. In addition to their wives, there were also a man and a woman, two young men in their early twenties, and two ladies.

He was very enthusiastic and urged his children to call him uncle. Lu Ze responded, took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to the two of them. He couldn't let people call him uncle in vain.

From that moment on, the doorbell never stopped ringing. Someone came to the door in three to five minutes. All Chen Yongbin’s apprentices were in the imperial capital. They were all here today. Everyone was very busy with work on weekdays.

In the imperial capital, it was rare for everyone to be present. This made Mrs. Chen very happy, and she asked everyone about her well-being.

But Lu Ze noticed that the old lady occasionally showed a hint of sadness and looked at the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone who would never come.

None of the disciples present was a fool. They had already guessed who the old lady was waiting for. The originally warm atmosphere suddenly dimmed. They all lowered their heads and began to think. Liang Hongrui poured tea for his master, turned around and rubbed his eyes.

"I heard that Yanhong has met the right person and is already preparing for the wedding."

Only Liang Hongrui seemed to have received the news. Chen Yongbin took a sip of tea calmly. Others looked at him in surprise, as if they wanted him to continue talking. Only the old lady smiled happily.

, patted his thigh gently.

"Good job, good job... She doesn't owe Zhengzi anything. Zhengzi has been gone for two years, and it's time to find another one. If she is good to her, she will be more or less someone to rely on."

Everyone couldn't accept this. After all, this was the remarriage of their senior brother's wife, and it was not a glorious thing for them. Liang Hongrui didn't really want to talk to his wife, he just wanted her to

After breaking this thought, now that there is a new person in the family, the old man's past and relationship should be broken off completely.

"Daze, I watched the promotional video for the new movie you made. I can't pass it. I'm sure I'll shoot something more honest in the next movie. Take it back and watch it. If it works, I'll repay you."

The obvious change of topic made Lu Ze stunned. He didn't understand why the topic came back to him while chatting. However, this was a good thing for him. Seeing Liang Hongrui's calm demeanor,

While drinking tea, I can only sigh in my heart that it is easy to do things when there are people in the court.

Lu Ze doesn't need to worry about whether the subject matter of "Exile" can pass the review. After all, there is no excessive content or reflection in it, and it is relatively positive and educational. It is not so much an adventure survival movie, but more

A film with animal protection at its core.

It's good enough, Lu Ze is sure of this after reading the script, and compared to other movies written by Mickey, it's also very "safe".

"Thank you, second brother."

"You're welcome. It's just a matter of words. As long as you don't fix things that are there or not, it's not a problem to live normally. All I can do is help you get your number as quickly as possible."

This kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the big guys here, and no one will bother about it. They can just brush it off. The topic that everyone is interested in is Lu Ze's work. After chatting for about half an hour, Chen Yongbin

He looked up at the clock, drank the last cup of tea, and spoke softly.

"It's almost time, let's go."

The master spoke, and everyone was naturally meaningless. They all dressed up neatly, surrounded Chen Yongbin and his wife, and were about to leave home and go to the hotel they had booked. However, when he opened the door, Lu Ze almost stepped on it with his foot.

Place it on the gift box at the door, squat down, pick up the postcard on the gift box, and gently recite the words on it.

"Congratulations to Teacher Chen on his new disciple. I present gifts to Teacher Chen Yongbin and Mr. Lu Ze. Yours sincerely, Liu Yanhong."

…

"Are you nervous?"

"What are you nervous about?"

In the small hall of the hotel, Song Guiyuan was chewing melon seeds and staring at Lu Ze as he adjusted his collar. Thinking about the joke he made during his apprenticeship ceremony, and comparing it to the calm Lu Ze now, he could only helplessly smash his mouth.

Spit out the melon seed peels from your mouth.

"Mr. Lu, you are about to enter."

The waiter knocked on the door and gave a reminder. Lu Ze looked at the full-length mirror and arranged his clothes for the last time. He followed the waiter slowly to the lobby and opened the door. The place was full of guests and the atmosphere was warm. This was Chen Yongbin who had personally written the invitation to the wedding invitation a few days ago.

and senior people.

Occasionally, he looked at the seats with the "Qian Sega" nameplate on the last few tables. Lu Ze didn't recognize the visitor. He was a small shrimp with a slight sneer on his face, which was replaced by a warm smile, and he greeted countless pairs of people reaching out to him.

With both hands, he thanked the congratulations and praises one by one, and finally walked to Chen Yongbin and his wife, took the teacup handed over by the emcee, knelt on his knees, and raised the teacup high.

This was another major turning point in his life. From then on, he was no longer just an actor in the southern faction, but also officially joined the team of the northern faction. In other words, Lu Ze now has a good time traveling from south to north.

"Master, drink tea."
