After such a delay, there was a farce again, and the Lu family was not very willing to eat in the restaurant, so they simply found another place, but after walking for a long time, they turned a corner and bypassed a row of overgrown flower beds, and saw that one of the old men who had just been refused entry by the restaurant was poking next to the round table under the big tree, holding a plate of dumplings in his hand, chewing and eating slowly.

Now that the New Year's Festival has passed, eating dumplings at such a time is really a bit capricious.

Hongchen looked up, next to the big tree is a small shop, it should be selling cloth embroidered ready-to-wear clothes, the things sold are a little messy, the house is very exquisite, especially beautiful, it is the old man with a comfortable face, he is still wearing tattered clothes, but he is eating things but he is moving.

"Big brother, dare to ask, is there any restaurant restaurant nearby, is the food good?"

The old lady of the Lu family seemed to be very interested in this old man, and asked through the car window.

The old man was happy: "Ouch, big sister, this is from afar?" Tired, right? Don't look for any restaurant, my granddaughter is the best chef, just cooked dumplings, a meatball, no miscellaneous taste at all, come and try it? ”

He is really enthusiastic and sincere.

The old lady nodded after thinking about it, and turned around to beckon the young and old of the Lu family to come over and eat.

When people get older, their temperament will always be a little more like a child.

Qiao's had no choice but to tell the children to follow, and Hongchen also got out of the car, it was also a coincidence, the old man here and the old lady of the Lu family actually had some meaning of familiarity at first sight, and the old man liked to be lively, it really made people cook a big pot of dumplings, which was particularly affordable, all of them were thin and filling, and one person shared a bowl.

Hongchen ate it in his mouth, well, the taste is really delicious, just ordinary meat filling, probably beef and some mutton, there is no too strong fishy smell, the spices should be very unique, take a bite down, the juice explodes on the tongue, it is delicious.

The people of the Lu family know the rules quite well, but all the way, eating outside, is always not as good as the food ironing at home, and now when they eat such home-cooked dumplings, they all love it so much that they eat a lot of it unconsciously.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, very happy.

Qiao's face turned red with shame.

"It's good to be able to eat, and it's a blessing to be able to eat."

The old man said with a smile.

Hongchen was also a little reluctant, looked up and looked around, and said with a smile: "This is your old shop?" ”

"What my mother-in-law left behind, my daughter runs it, and it is a small business."

When the old man spoke, his eyes showed a little tenderness, although it was only a small shop, looking at the feelings shown in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, everyone guessed that this shop should be very important.

Hongchen turned his gaze, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Old man, we are grateful to you for entertaining, so let's prune the flower bed for you, even if it is worth the meal?" ”

The old man was stunned.

Hongchen didn't wait for him to refuse, beckoned the two maids, called Sister Yao a few times, carefully instructed and instructed, and drew a schematic diagram on the ground with his hands, and several people remembered it, so they took some scissors and tools and walked over, and began to clean up the messy flower beds next to them.

In fact, this flower garden was built by others in the early years, no one took care of it for more than half a year, it was overgrown with weeds, and it was not good-looking, the old man was impatient to clean up, and he didn't care, and he said that he loved it naturally, so he didn't pay attention to it, and someone tossed for him at this time, and he did it, and the old man did not shirk it, and sat on the side with a smile and talked and laughed with the old lady.

The old lady smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes: "My granddaughter is a good child, filial piety, smart and sensible. ”

said that it was pruning the flower bed, but the young master and young lady in front of him were working, and they couldn't ask for too much detail and remove some weeds...... Well, a lot of beautiful flowers are also treated as weeds.

Qiao Shi covered his face, eager to get into the cracks in the ground, a group of bear children, where is the flower garden for others, and they are having fun happily.

After playing until Qiao's beckoned them back, it finally stopped.

Everyone took a look, and it was not too bad, and the whole flower garden did look more vibrant and neat.

The old man was also very happy, Hongchen clapped his hands, looked at the sky, and said with a smile: "Old lady, let's go, stay any longer, I'm afraid that I will delay the old man's business." ”

The people had eaten and drunk enough, and had rested enough, so they got on the car and set off.

The old man laughed: "It's nothing to play for a while, we Xiaohui can have two or three guests a day in this embroidery village, that's a lot, and it can't be delayed." ”

The business in this place is indeed not good at first glance, the door is full of birds, and pedestrians are in a hurry when they pass by, and they don't even look at it.

Compared with their small shop, several other restaurants, teahouses, and even tofu shops not far away are doing thriving business.

Especially in the tofu shop, people who buy tofu simply have to queue up.

Although the old man was very sincere, Hongchen made a look, everyone still got in the car and left, Qiao's was embarrassed to trouble people too much, the old lady was full, a little drowsy, and fell asleep when she got into the car.

She is indeed an old man.

Soon, as the carriage went farther and farther, the old man looked behind him twice, and beckoned the men in the shop to come out and pack his things.

Not long after, a beautiful woman with a six-class pregnancy walked out of the door, covered her lips and smiled: "Daddy is really, at such an age, he is not at home to enjoy Qingfu, and he goes out with my Uncle Wu all day long, if you let the eldest brother know, the eldest brother will be angry again." ”

"You're not here to open an embroidery village to play, with a big belly, my son-in-law doesn't care!"

"What do you mean by playing, this is the dowry left by my mother, it was by relying on it that your son was admitted to the imperial examination as an official, and it was also by relying on it that I met your son-in-law, now it's okay, the family is rich, so I can't look down on it? I'm genuine, and I'm determined to make it work and be as prosperous as ever. ”

The beautiful woman grimaced and snorted.

She is very well maintained, and she is pregnant and beautiful, including the old man, the two of them are not like ordinary people.

In fact, it is really not ordinary, the son of the old man worships the four products, manages the salt politics in the south of the Yangtze River, and relies on his own efforts, from a humble scholar to a high-ranking official, it has only been more than ten years, and the road is smooth, and he is expected to enter the center.

"Boss, please cut a dress for our young lady, as soon as possible, urgently."

The father and daughter were talking, and there were guests outside, and the beautiful woman hurriedly went over.

The old man lowered his head and continued to stare at his subordinates to clean up their things, telling them to be careful not to drop the bowl he liked.

"Dare to ask, how to sell this screen?"

"Excuse me, can you help with the wiring?"

"Boss, our old lady is too old, you dare to have a few new outfits, can you recommend the color?"

“……”

Old man: "......"

"What's the situation, Lao Zhao, the person you hired yourself?"

An old man who was also dressed in tatters came over, carrying a pot of wine in his left hand and a bag of peanuts in his right hand.

This embroidery village has not had such a prosperous business for many years, that is, when the business was at its hottest in the past, it was good to be able to earn a little money to feed a family.

Lao Zhao said that he couldn't come back to his senses, opened his mouth, didn't know what to say, he was also confused, and it took a while to smile all over his face, brush his beard, cough, and look reserved: "Okay, okay, don't disturb our Xiaohui business, let's go and drink elsewhere." ”

He pulled his old buddy hard, but he didn't pull it, and when he turned around, he saw the old guy staring at the embroidery village in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "It's over, this is what my mother-in-law left, of course I'm happy that the business is booming, but we don't lack this little money, so we don't need to be so concerned." ”

That being said, he was also smiling.

The one surnamed Wu restrained the relaxed look on his face, looked solemn, and whispered: "It's amazing, it's amazing, it's a master's means!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and grabbed Lao Zhao's arm, "You old boy is not righteous, say it quickly, where did the strange person come from, he can toss your store like this, it's really a good means, I'll take a look, ouch, this is the financial situation of the golden dragon absorbing water!" It's the first time I've seen such an accurate and beautiful feng shui bureau, and it's arranged in such a poor feng shui place, it's amazing! ”

"Say what?"

Lao Zhao was confused.

Lao Wu glanced at him: "Pretend, you still pretend, no wonder I persuade you, you don't want your daughter to open a store in another place, it turns out that I have already had the idea of asking a master to help me in private, really, I don't know if I want to take a look, I don't know that I have been obsessed with this since I was a child!" ”

Lao Zhao smiled bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, we don't change places, because this store was left by my mother-in-law, no matter how bad it is, in my heart and Xiaohui's hearts, it is also good, changed places, is this store still the original store?" Although its business is not as good as before, I feel very ashamed, to nothing, I have made up my mind, even if I stick money, I can't make it yellow, or it will go into the ground, my wife asked, I can't answer is not ashamed? I really didn't ask any spiritual masters, feng shui masters to help, besides, I don't believe in that much, where can I ask for it? ”

Lao Wu looked at him carefully, half-convinced, and said after a while: "But this is indeed a master......

He stood up, walked around, and finally stood in the flower garden, his face was full of excitement, and his eyes showed a divine light of worship, "You see, just a little use of the grass and stones in the flower garden, the situation has become, left and right double fish, forming a pattern of golden dragon absorbing water and accepting wealth, so to speak, in the past, the wealth of your store was leaked to the opposite street, but now it is not only intercepted, the wealth on the opposite side can also be fed, although I dare not say for a long time, but as long as the market is still there, the water dragon is intact, you will not worry about the business of this store, do not believe it and wait to see, The flowers and trees in this flower garden do not need to be pruned, no matter how long they grow, they must still be in this pattern, and there will be no changes. ”

Lao Zhao was stunned when he heard this, he didn't want to believe it, but when he turned around, he saw that the guys recruited by her daughter were so busy that they were sweating profusely, and they were no longer lazy for most of the day like before, so he immediately believed it, and said: "Flower garden, this ......"

"What this, that, hurry up, which master is the hand?"

Lao Wu's face was anxious.

After hesitating for a while, Lao Zhao coughed and said with a wry smile: "I really don't know......" The old man hesitated, but still told his old friend what happened today.

"That's it, it's not a special invite, it's a girl with her sisters to help me tidy up the flower garden."

“……”

Lao Wu's face was full of disbelief, staring at his old friend, but he couldn't see any signs of him lying, and finally smiled bitterly, "Hey, why did you catch up with all the good things?" It seems that the master traveled all over the world, just for you to bump into it, lucky, really lucky, why didn't I have this luck. ”

He believed it, but Lao Zhao was still confused: "Is it really a master?" I can see clearly that there are a few dolls who do it, and the one who leads the command is still a female doll. ”

"What's wrong with the female doll? Do you look down on women? Lao Wu rolled his eyes, "Among the masters who are proficient in occult arts, there are many women, women are more careful than men, and they are better than men when they do such delicate work, and many people think that it is ominous for women to learn occult arts, that pure nonsense, some masters I know, women are no worse than men." ”

As soon as he said this, Lao Wu was heartbroken, "Tell me, what's wrong with the girl?" Where can I compare to men, my daughter, and your Xiaohui, when it comes to intelligence, they are a hundred times stronger than several stupid sons in our family, but women just can't be the masters of the house, no matter how smart and powerful, they can only stay at home all their lives. ”

As he spoke, he almost burst into tears.

Lao Zhao hurriedly comforted a few words, knowing that his old friend was bitter, Lao Wu didn't love his son, let alone a patriarch, he also valued sons over daughters, if the son in the family was good, he would definitely be happy, the problem is, their family didn't know what was going on, they gave birth to three sons and three daughters, the son was useless, the daughter Zhong Lingyuxiu was extremely smart, Lao Wu also had no choice, he cherished the talent and beauty, hired a famous teacher, taught his own children, and his daughter studied together, and then, the famous teacher praised his son-in-law and went to take the exam, There must be a chance for a Jinshi, as for the son, people only say that the eldest and the second don't have to think about it, it's good to be literate, the third one works hard, and has a talent reputation, there shouldn't be much of a problem, as for the middle lift, you need luck, Jinshi, then don't think about it.

If you change to any of the more enlightened ones, in this case, I am afraid that they will be eager to let the imperial court open the imperial examination, and let their daughters also participate.

"In the previous dynasty, women can still be officials, what female envoys, female magistrates, although it is not common, there are still some, hey, my daughter, born at the wrong time."

Lao Wu sighed for a long time and shook his head, "Don't talk about this, I'd better take a closer look at the master's handwriting." ”

He really squatted in front of the flower garden with his shoulders crossed, looked at it obsessively for a long time, and saw that it was getting dark, suddenly rubbed his eyes, turned around and exclaimed: "Is the female doll you said less than twenty years old, amazingly beautiful?"
