When Xia Chunchao heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "Auntie praised it falsely, there is a master outside this family, and a wife inside, everything is carried by me, I just help one or two, how dare I take this credit?" Zhou smiled and said: "Your wife's personality, I naturally know, why should the Spring Dynasty be so humble?" Presumably lived in the past, but also suffered a lot of grievances. ”

Xia Chunchao didn't answer this, only looked at the two cousins, and asked with a smile: "What are the two uncles doing at home now?" It's always been rare. "That Lu Zhenwen is about eighteen or nine years old this year, but he is a little similar to his cousin Lu Chengyong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall figure. Lu Xuren looks like Zhou, with a long face, a long figure, and clear eyebrows, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Hearing that his sister-in-law asked, Lu Zhiwen was silent, but Lu Zhenren seemed to be shy, his face was slightly red, and he hung his head silently.

Zhou said with a smile: "It's hard for you to remember that Yan Wen became a relative last year and married the daughter of Master Cheng of Mengquan Bookstore in Chengnan." The girl is gentle and quiet, her appearance is good, her in-laws know the etiquette very well, and she respects the upper and lower, and everyone in the family says that she is good. Today, I said that I would come to visit my mother-in-law together, but her new daughter-in-law was shy and heard that everyone was here, so she was embarrassed to come, and only said that she would come to visit another day. In fact, in her heart, she really wants to come and see you. ”

Xia Chunchao listened to her speech, originally to ask the two cousins what kind of physiology they are doing now, she talked about her daughter-in-law first, couldn't help but smile slightly, took a sip of tea, and didn't say much. When she entered the door, the second room of the Lu family's house had already been separated, and she didn't know what was going on, but she heard the old people in the family talk about some old things in the past, and she also knew that the two rooms were not compatible with her in-laws. Today, I saw her coming with her son, although she came to visit her grandmother, but I didn't know why, so I was careful and refused to be very aggressive.

Zhou Shi said again, and then said: "Yan Wen is now learning some business principles with his Lao Tzu in the shop, and he is still studying." In the last year, he was admitted to Xiucai. The gentleman said that he was very knowledgeable in literature and science, and that his career was just around the corner. My lord and I told him not to do anything else, but to be attentive to this one. Today, I am still studying. It turned out that in the past, Lu Huancheng and Lu Weili split up, and most of the Lu family's property was divided into the long house, but a grocery store that was about to be closed was divided into the second room. That Lu Weili had some means, and he revitalized the shop under the maneuvering left and right. Now a family of three, relying on the grocery business, can also make a living.

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he smiled and said, "In this way, my cousin is very promising. If the Lu family can make a move in the future, it will also be a glorious lintel. Lu Zhen sat down, and when he heard his sister-in-law's praise, his face became redder and redder. The Zhou family was busy and said, "My master and I said the same thing." ”

After greeting each other, there was nothing to say. At this moment of boredom, Bao He came from behind and said to everyone: "The old lady is in better spirits today, and she can meet guests." Just ask the second wife, the second son, and the third son to come over. ”

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly set off and went to the back house together. This way through the past, Zhou couldn't help but look around, a pair of black eyes up and down, seeing that the old house was renovated, and the depth and breadth of the expansion, the family members traveled, and the mules and horses in the stable were herds, which was not the depressed scene when the family was separated in the past, and I couldn't help but envy it in my heart, and secretly scolded my mother-in-law for being unfair.

This week, the Zhou clan was walking forward, and Xia Chunchao retreated slightly because he was a junior, and he didn't dare to walk side by side. The two brothers Lu Zhiwen and Lu Zhiren followed, and Lu Zhiwen had no expression on his face and did not say a word. The Lu Zhen people were three steps away after the Xia Chun Dynasty, and when they saw the beautiful figure of the cousin in front of them, they lowered their heads unconsciously, and they didn't want to happen to see her walking again, and the bow shoes between the skirts were slightly exposed. Lu Zhenren saw the emerald green, his face became redder and redder, and he didn't know where to put his eyes. Lu Zhiwen looked at it from the side and scolded in a low voice: "How are you?!" Hugh is cranky! Lu Zhenren shook his head and was silent. Fortunately, his rebuke was extremely low, and Xia Chunchao did not hear it in front of him.

Before everyone walked to Lu Jia's house, Baolian was waiting at the door, and when she saw everyone coming, she hurriedly opened the curtain and said inside: "The second wife, the second son, the third son and grandma are here." As soon as he spoke, he greeted everyone one by one.

Everyone walked up the stairs and entered the inner room, and sure enough, they saw Lu Jiashi lying on the bed, and Liu was accompanying him beside the bed. Seeing everyone come in, Liu immediately got up. Zhou came up to greet the old lady first, and then greeted his sister-in-law Liu. This concubine has always been discordant, and now in front of her mother-in-law and juniors, she has to be perfunctory. Zhou first asked how Liu was okay, and Liu also responded lightly. Zhou ordered his two sons to come up to meet their grandmother and aunt, and after the greetings were over, everyone sat down, and Baolian brought tea and food.

Zhou Shi first said to Lu Jiashi: "Since I went back in the New Year, I have always remembered my mother-in-law in my heart, and I always want to come over to ask for peace, but I am busy with family affairs and I can't have time." I don't want my mother-in-law to be sick again, and my daughter-in-law heard the news at home, and she couldn't eat Jiao's food or sleep. The two children are also very worried about their mother-in-law. Therefore, the daughter-in-law brought them to visit them today. ”

Lu Jiashi smiled slightly and said, "Your family is busy, and I also know it." You don't have the help of so many people, so you have to do everything yourself. I really can't be idle, so it's just a matter of not coming. We are all a family, so why do all this face-saving efforts? When Zhou heard this, his face sank slightly, and then he asked with a smile: "What is the reason why my mother-in-law has this disease?" I've heard people say before, why does it seem to give people a downset? After finishing speaking, he hurriedly smiled: "This family is very filial to the old lady, and the eldest man is the biological son of the old lady, so there is no need to say it." Brother Yong'er is not at home now, even if he is at home, he will never be able to do such unfilial things. Sister Hong doesn't need to be mentioned, she has always been the heart and soul of the old lady. is the child of the Spring Dynasty, who looks at it in the past day, and is also generous and sensible, gentle and smooth all the way. Who can do such a thing? ”

Zhou's words commented on the cadres and others in the long house, and only left out Liu's. The Liu family has been fighting with her for half a lifetime, how can there be a reason that she can't hear? was about to have a seizure, but he heard Xia Chunchao say with a smile: "Auntie's words are indeed true, our Lu family, where is there such an unfilial person?" Not only the old man, the young master and the girl, but also the wife and I have the same heart. I came in late, and I was a junior in this family. I don't understand anything, my wife will guide me. I don't know, my wife sues me; I won't, my wife is carrying me. If this is not the case, the family still doesn't know where it has become, where can it be so peaceful? With that, he walked to Liu's side and stood respectfully.

Lu Jiashi was very happy, and smiled at Zhou: "You see, this family is just like the girl in the Spring Dynasty said, there is harmony between the top and bottom, and there will be this prosperous day." Zhou was bored, only smiled and said, "The old lady said this, then it is naturally like this." I'm just talking in vain, but I'm making the old lady laugh. When the man went to tell me as a child, I also spat him in the face and said how could such a thing happen. It must be a rumor of people, or it is a deliberate incident. Where would such a thing happen to a person like ours? ”

Liu Shi was listening, but he had nothing to say, only smiled at Xia Chunchao, and was speechless.

After a while, the Zhou family said to Lu Jia's again: "The daughter-in-law of Yanwen was supposed to come to see the old lady together today." It's just that we all came out, and there was no one at home. She was shy again, and she was embarrassed to come when she heard that there were many people here. Just tell me to talk to the old lady and say hello to the old lady, don't laugh at her for not knowing the etiquette. Lu Jiashi smiled and said, "The child's family has never seen the world, it is normal feelings, but how can I blame her?" As he spoke, he looked at Lu Zhiwen and said: "There is one thing, our Lu family has passed down to your generation, and there is no son and half a daughter so far, but the incense major event cannot be taken lightly." Brother Yong was ordered by the imperial court to not come back at the border for many years, so that's it. But you have to get along with your daughter-in-law and sons, and see your son as soon as possible so that you can inherit the Lu family. ”

Lu Zhiwen saw his grandmother speak, lowered his hand to listen, and said: "Grandmother's teachings, grandchildren remember." ”

Lu Jiashi knew that Lu Zhenwen had always been silent, nodded and didn't say much, and only asked Lu Zhenren: "What are you doing at home now?" Can the family affair be decided? Zhou was waiting for her to say this, and said busily: "Xuren is still studying in school, and he went to the year old to test this kid and passed the Xiucai test." Mr. Gakuri praised him for his excellent talent, and his career was just around the corner. Therefore, my lord did not ask him to go out to make a living, and now he is still studying for a living. Lu Jia's chin said: "Reading is also a serious business, if you can go to high school in the future, you can get an official and a half-job, and it is also a matter of honoring your ancestors." After speaking, he coughed a few times.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to serve. Baolian poured a cup of warm water, Xia Chunchao took it, and personally served Lu Jia's food.

After a busy time, Zhou Shifang said again: "When it comes to this family matter, it is embarrassing. The old lady knows what is going on in our family. If you want to choose a girl from a good family, you don't have that dowry money. But the women of small households can't go on the stage without saying anything, but they are afraid that there are still some problems with unclean hands and feet, and they don't dare to recruit at home. Last year, there were also a few matchmakers who came to the house to say goodbye, and they came and went, but there was no suitable one. ”

At this point, someone from outside suddenly came to report: "The shopkeeper in the shop is here, asking to see grandma, saying that there is something to discuss." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he knew that it must be for some business in the shop, and this Xia shopkeeper couldn't be the master, so he came to ask for his own meaning. I wanted to go, but I was afraid that my grandmother and mother-in-law would blame me, but I didn't dare to move.

Lu Jiashi smiled at her: "Shopkeeper Xia came to you, there must be something serious." You don't have to worry about making rules here. Xia Chunchao got this sound, so he set off, bowed to everyone, and went out.

At that time, everyone in the family sat around the bed, and only Lu Zhen was outside. When Xia Chunchao went up to the door, he walked by his side and brought a gust of incense. The Lu Xuren's cheeks were red, and he only squinted his eyes to peek, and saw that she walked lightly, walked to the door, stretched out her jade fingers like spring onions, lifted the door curtain, and went straight out, leaving only the stone blue cotton door curtain shaking.
