Chapter 9 Sugar Gourd and Sugar Man
Xu Mansion is preparing for Xu Jiaojiao's ceremony the day after tomorrow, and everyone's affairs are complicated, and I am afraid that the reception will not be good. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Changdi proposed that the group go out to go shopping and play.
Ziying applauded, Yang Yu also rolled his smart eyes, and even Lu Shu, who was ashamed to see people, was forcibly pulled out of the house by Mr. Chuan to protect the little son.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu County with jealousy, and ordered people to escort Lu Shu and his party out of the county gate.
She was unwilling to say: "Daddy, why are you so partial to Lu Shu's little hooves!" β
Xu Xian Ling glanced at Xu Jiaojiao with disgust, and only when he saw that Chang Di and their figures were far away did he say quietly: "In the early years, Lu Gong's family moved to Xianyang, but he didn't expect that there would be a kind of creation, so that the county guard would look at them differently. β
"What?" Xu Jiaojiao has been blessed by her parents for more than ten years, how can she know how to twist and turn in officialdom.
Xu Xianling knew that his daughter didn't have that ability, and he didn't want to talk to her more, so he only said: "These people are the distinguished guests who have been personally explained by the Lord of Surabaya County to entertain them well, so don't treat them slowly." He saw his daughter's biting lips and clenched hands, and said, "If you have any grievances, put them down for the time being, and what grievances and grievances have passed for a few years, haven't they?" β
Xu Jiaojiao held back her tears and ran back to the room as if she had been greatly wronged. As a result, he didn't look at the road and bumped into Mrs. Xu.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Mrs. Xu said distressedly, pulling Xu Jiaojiao to look left and right to see that there was no injury on her body before relieving her heart.
Xu Jiaojiao threw herself into Mrs. Xu's arms and cried, "Mother, that little slut is back, won't Ah Ji marry me?" β
Mrs. Xu was stunned, and couldn't help but look worried.
There are two great talents in Peize County, both of whom were once Lu Gong's protΓ©gΓ©s.
One is gentle and knowledgeable, surnamed Zhang Mingliang, talented and not to mention, and his appearance is said to be rare in the world. However, Zhang Gongzi has always been uncertain, this month in southern Anhui, maybe next month I heard that I went to Mobei. Few people have seen the true face of Lushan.
There is also a Shuangqu Pavilion that lives in Surabaya, and casually makes a little history. This person died in his early years and had no intention of continuing the strings, and his heart was weak, so that he did not marry again.
Xu Jiaojiao was also a student of Lu Gong, and Shuangqu Pavilion can also be regarded as a senior brother and sister, and since she was a child, she was determined not to marry a gentleman, and she was well known in Pize County.
Originally, the Xu family sent someone to let the matchmaker go to Liu Jiaming to say that he had hinted many times, but Master Liu had already loosened his mouth and agreed to this family affair, exchanged Geng Tie marriage letters, and waited for Xu Jiaojiao and the Gupta ceremony to come to the door to propose.
As soon as the girl of the Lu family came back, she was like the same bamboo pole muddying the water of the whole pond.
Mrs. Xu reasoned her thoughts and said calmly: "Jiaojiao, don't worry, since Liu Ji's father has accepted this family business, Liu Ji will never dare to disobey his old father's wishes, so you can wait to marry the Liu family from the Xu Mansion with peace of mind." β
Even if Liu Ji repents of this family business at that time, their Xu family is also the head of a county, how can they be humiliated by a down-and-out family of the Liu family.
It is expected that he Liu Ji does not have the guts!
Mrs. Xu comforted her daughter, and she already had an idea in her heart.

"Lu Shu, is this your hometown?" Ziying held a string of sugar gourds in both hands, and when he took a bite, his mouth was immediately filled with the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn.
Lu Wen still stayed in the Xu Mansion and didn't go out to play with the young people.
However, Mr. Chuan followed the left and right hugs behind the child with a sad face, holding all the things that the child was happy about, snacks to eat, and even a rattle for a three-year-old child to play.
Pan Yong and Pan Jiang followed behind Chang Diyangyu, but he also carried a lot of weight.
Pan Yong said to Pan Jiang: "You have an injury on your arm, give me something." β
Pan Jiang shook his head and said, "It's okay." β
He suddenly felt a lightness in his hand, and turned his head to meet Changdi's clean and bright eyes, and she smiled: "It's not a good habit to be strong. β
"Yes." Yang Yu echoed and took what Pan Jiang was holding in his other hand.
Pan Jiang scratched the back of his head helplessly, and he didn't know how to react for a while.
Lu Shu, who had been absent-minded, stopped, turned his head and asked, "Did you see that nasty guy today?" β
"Who?" Pan Yong asked in a thick voice.
Chang Di said as usual: "He has something urgent to leave Peize County." β
"When?"
"This morning." Chang Di's eyes stayed on Lu Shu's slightly anxious face for two more times.
Lu Shu gasped, that was the time for him to ignore him in the morning and leave, and he was going to apologize and explain to him, but now he left without saying hello.
Zhang Zifang, you are too unkind to do this!
Lu Shu cursed in his heart.
Lu Shuchangdi's question and answer, everyone also knew who Lu Shu was asking, thinking that Zhang Zifang had a very bad face in the morning and never came back, and knew that it was Miss Lu who lost her temper, and he couldn't stand it, so he left in a rage.
"People, just like the sugar gourd in your hand, the sugar coating is roasted by the sun, and the sweetness is not delicious." Chang Di patted Ziying's head and laughed at him: "Hurry up and eat it, the saccharification wrapped on the outside will not taste good." β
"Oh." Ziying opened his mouth and stuffed the remaining crystal clear sugar gourd into his small mouth. He said vaguely: "Chang Di is right...... It's only delicious when there's sugar...... It's not good if it's saccharified......"
Lu Shu rolled his eyes secretly, what a broken metaphor!
She turned and walked alone.
She doesn't like to eat sugar gourds, she likes to eat sweet sugar people!
The candy seller scoops up a spoonful of sugar from the hot pot and pours an iron spoon on top of the cold bluestone, the sugar in the spoon flows on the bluestone, and the candy seller holds the handle of the spoon skillfully, using sugar silk to pull out a lifelike pattern.
"Boss, come on a rabbit!" On a whim, Lu Shu counted out three copper plates from the money bag and threw them into the candy seller's money basket.
The old man who sold the candy man smiled kindly, and stretched out four fingers to Chang Di, "Girl, one rabbit and four copper plates." β
Lu Shu was stunned, when he was a child, the cheapest thing was rabbits, but he didn't expect that in the past few years, even the price of sugar rabbits has increased and changed.
Lu Shu took out two more copper plates and put them in the old man's money basket.
He hurriedly waved his hand and said hurriedly: "Four, four is enough." β
Lu Shu smiled at the old man who had a thick memory and said, "I know. I want to make a bigger bunny, so I'll give you one more. β
He finally stopped being ashamed, rolled up his sackcloth sleeves and concentrated on scooping a spoonful of sugar from the hot pot, holding the handle of the spoon to let the sugar flow out of the mouth of the spoon and fall on the thin bluestone.
He twisted his movements, the spoon tilted from side to side, the sugar strands gathered into dots and gradually took shape, and the head of a fat rabbit was made.
Ziying shouted next to him, "It's so beautiful!" How did he do it! β
When the old man heard this, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
Chang Di saw that the roots of the old man's ears were actually red! Weird!
In just a while, the sugar rabbit is ready. The old man put a bamboo stick on it, pressed it with a thin blade to make the sugar cube stronger than the bamboo stick, and then used the blade to isolate the rabbit from the bluestone.
"It's done!" The old man smiled sincerely and kindly, and handed the sugar rabbit to Lu Shu.
Lu Shu took a bite, his eyes curved into crescent moons, "It's delicious." β
Ziying pouted dissatisfied, "I want it too." β
Lu Shu rewarded the little boy with a roll of his eyes and was indifferent, "Let your family buy it for you." β
Then Lu Shu licked the sugar rabbit and swaggered, blatantly leaving the little boy and leaving alone.
The child is furious!
At this time, a dry and wrinkled hand suddenly appeared next to him, and the old man who sold candy kindly took the little rabbit he had just made and gave it to Ziying.
Ziying doesn't know if he will pick it up or not, he has no money on him.
The old man smiled kindly, shook his head and said, "Give it to you, no money." β
The baby suddenly wanted to cry.
Ziying thought of his grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor, who was cold and irritable all day long, and never treated himself or his father with a pleasant face.
How nice it would be if this amiable old man in front of him was his grandfather, and how good it would be if he was a child of an ordinary family......
The old man thought that Ziying's hesitation was embarrassed to accept, so he forced it into Ziying's chubby little hand, and said with a straight face: "Old man, I saw that you were cute, so I invited you to eat candy." β
Ziying listened to his childish muttering and grinned.
But why is this rabbit so much smaller than Lu Shu? The child pouted and wandered his abdomen.
- "That man can spit fire!" β¦β¦β
- "You can still swallow a dagger on an empty stomach!" β¦β¦β
Ziying's eyes lit up, and he took the sugar rabbit through the layers of people and squeezed towards the center.
