91. The calculation of the old man Lou
Lou Yuzhu didn't have the heart to pay attention to the follow-up things that happened in the old house, because the trip to Beijing had been delayed for more than a month, and he couldn't wait anymore, but after this incident, Lou Chengyi was not very sick, and he couldn't go to Beijing. Fortunately, Wei Kun was going to Shangjing to report to Shangfeng, and he was accompanied by a few small soldiers under him, so he didn't worry about safety.
It was at the beginning of July that the group finally set foot on the prosperous and fertile ancient city of Shangjing. The high walls and strict guards all show the dignity and majesty of the imperial city.
Lou Chen stretched his neck to look out of the carriage, and Lou Ming was also in awe. This is Dayuan's heart, where people want to climb in with their pointed heads!
Mu Lao's servants were waiting there for a long time, and Wei Kun saw that someone was coming to pick him up, so he said a few words to Lou Yuzhu through the carriage window and then led the soldiers to beat the horses and left.
Dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to be ruthless, the baptism of iron and blood on the battlefield has built Wei Kun, a country boy who was ignorant at the beginning, into a cold and strict Wei Centurion now, and the cold light that flashed in his eyes from time to time made Lou Yuzhu frightened but couldn't say words of comfort, after all, he was not Wei Kun, and he couldn't empathize with the life and death struggles of the other party's battlefield in the past few years, so he was not qualified to say that he should stop and let himself go. Fortunately, the other party still has extremely important family members, at least they will not lose their way.
Mu Lao was born in everyone, he has married two gentlemen before and after, there are four sons-in-law, two brothers-in-law, and the rest of the sisters-in-law have two or three, the concubines are all separated, the brothers are married, and there are more than a dozen bloodlines that continue from the four sons-in-law, not to mention that Lou Chen is dazzled, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu are a little dazzled.
Mu Lao's gentleman Lang Xie Taifeng Jun pulled Lou Yuzhu to take a look, and said with a smile: "In the past few years, we have heard your name and our ears are calloused. As he spoke, he withdrew a string of colorful agate beads from his hand and put it on Lou Yuzhu's hand. Don't be disgusted. ”
Lou Yuzhu hurriedly said that he didn't dare. After the call, they sent out and received a lot of gifts, which shows that the Mu family is also very attentive to them.
Mu Lao smiled and looked, and his smile deepened when he saw Lou Chen's attitude towards people.
Xie Taifengjun looked at his sons with each other, and a smile flashed in the corner of his eye. It seems that this apprentice has been settled!
Mu Lao's reputation is known to everyone in Shangjing, and the last sensational thing he wants to collect is just that the two families will not publicize this matter if they have a word, and it is a grand but unassuming banquet for apprenticeship, and several of Mu Lao's friends are present.
After the ceremony, the group went to the flower hall to speak.
Pei Sheng, who watched the entire apprenticeship ceremony, looked at Lou Chen, and smiled at Lou Yuzhu: "The fourth brother of your family is now a brother with Guanying." It's a pity that Guanying went out with the prince to patrol the chapter stage and couldn't be there, otherwise it would have been very interesting for the brothers to meet. "Because Pei Guanyingshe's twenty taels of silver Lou Chen was born into this world, and as soon as he turned around and became a little junior brother, Xiao is Pei Sheng has to sigh the wonder of fate.
Lou Yuzhu was also happy: "So I didn't call Uncle Pei by Hou Ye at the beginning." ”
A few years ago, the old marquis resigned, and Pei Sheng naturally inherited the title of Marquis of Jingyang and became the new Marquis of Jingyang.
Pei Sheng smiled and nodded, "That's right." After that, I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart, sighing that I missed or missed it after all.
As soon as the apprenticeship banquet was over, it was time for Lou Yuzhu to go home. Lou Chen was taken by Mu Lao to give a lecture, Lou Ming was woken up by Mu Lao, and wanted to go out for a walk before Lou Hua went to Beijing, so there were only Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu on the return trip. Not in a hurry, the two stopped and stopped and spent two months returning, and then Zhou Cheng went to work on business, Lou Yuzhu spent the day leisurely every day, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Lou Wen still hasn't married, but Lou Yuan in the second room has become a relative first, seeing that Lou Jinzhu's age is about to arrive, the old man is willing but not enough, Liu Ah Mo only cares about himself, Lou Chengzu only asks for wine every day, the concubine Tang Lianxiao is not a manager, Lou Yinzhu can't afford it, Lou Wen's eldest brother has been ignoring people more and more since that time, not to mention worrying about his brother's marriage and even his own food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in charge of Lou Lao. Seeing that he was getting older, Lou Jinzhu swallowed his tears into his stomach and looked for relatives in Huya County, his husband's surname was Wang, and he was the second son.
Even if the old man Lou was angry, he could only grit his teeth and admit it, forcing Liu Ah Mo to manage the marriage.
On the day of marriage, the third room was invited to drink the wedding wine, and Lou Yuzhu hugged her one-and-a-half-year-old little nephew who was babbling and chattering in the crowd to watch the excitement. The groom is a good look, the other party has a rich family background and does not need to take care of the housework by himself, the suffocation is that there is a brother at the top to press, and there are three brothers and a brother at the bottom, and dozens of people of all sizes live together, so you don't have to think about it.
The festive ceremonies accompanied the sedan chair away, and the wedding wine was not very sumptuous after drinking the kiss.
Lou Hua was invited to see off his relatives, Liang Zhao didn't go on the grounds of taking care of the child, turned his head to look at Lou Yuzhu's stunned appearance, and waved his hand in front of him with a funny hand: "Look at what, the soul is gone?" ”
"No, I didn't see anything. Let's go back. ”
Lou Jinzhu's marriage stimulated many people, such as the old man Lou who was angry with him, such as Tang Lianxiao, who didn't care about everything in the past few years, in order to find a support for the rest of his life, since he gave Lou Chengzu tiger and wolf medicine, he didn't hesitate to hurt the other party, and he had to conceive a child at all.
Hearing the news, Lou Yuzhu was stunned: "What are you doing now?" ”
Lou Hua put down the teacup: "If you had thought of this earlier, you wouldn't have been a concubine for so many years." ”
"That's right." Lou Yuzhu smiled: "When he loses, he dares to start, this tiger and wolf medicine will be reduced to six years." ”
"What is there to dare to start, the child is born and wishes that he would die early. More than 20 acres of fertile land plus the bits and pieces of silver in Grandpa's hand, even if it is divided into a third, it is enough to raise the child to grow up. ”
"It's not that easy, my mad brother won't let him have a good time." Speaking of Lou Wen, Lou Yuzhu laughed: "Yesterday, the elder brother went to the door, saying that he had fallen in love with the brother of a family in the county, and asked us to give him a plan." ”
Lou Hua was on a business trip yesterday, and he really didn't know about Lou Wen's door. "And then?"
"Threatening that if I don't agree, he will never get married, and he is willing to say that he is the head of the Lou family, and Grandpa Sun will not watch him break the bloodline, and when the time comes, he will beg Grandpa to let us have a child in the third room to inherit the heir." The implication is to let the Lou Hua brothers give him a step-son.
"What a big face!" Lou Hua shook his head and continued: "I think it's really crazy, otherwise who will rely on him and think that he will pass the succession?" ”
"I didn't bother to reason with him, so I just let people fork out." Some people are pitiful because they are tricked by fate, and some people are pitiful but they are really self-inflicted. Obviously, Lou Wen belongs to the latter, he is self-defeating, self-pitying, self-pitying, and self-sorry when he is hit, he has never self-examined and never thought about reforming, if he can change his vision to the bottom, with so many good fields and his own conditions in the hands of Mr. Lou, there may not be a good brother who is willing to marry, but he just fell into the pit he dug and dug deeper and deeper, and he also has a look of eyes above the top, even if he suffers for a lifetime, no one will support the elderly, and in the end, it is estimated that others will scold him and deserve it!
"Tell the porter, and he will come to the door and let people go straight away."
"That's what I mean."
I don't want the old man to come to the door the next day, crying bitterly and begging for the third room to protect this family matter.
Lou Yuzhu looked at the old man Lou with tears and begged Lou Chengyi to protect this matchmaker, and saw him scolding the sky and saying that he only asked for the third child in his life, Lou Chengyi was a filial piety, and he couldn't stand it when his old father asked for it so much, and he frequently looked at Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu.
Old Man Lou was forced to have no choice, so he had to kneel down with Lou Chengyi, and cried in his mouth: "Third brother, I know that the boss can't stand you, it was his fault before, but Lou Wen didn't stand up to you, please help him do this for the sake of his brothers and Lou Wen's innocence?" Count dad beg you, dad beg you" said and knelt on his knees and begged, the old man Lou, who had a good face and a good life, could do this step, and it seemed that he was really forced to a desperate situation.
It's a pity that Lou Yuzhu doesn't sympathize with him, but her eyes are full of hatred.
Lou Hua instructed someone to put Old Man Lou up and twisted his eyebrows: "Grandpa asked us to keep this matchmaker, do you know whether the other party is willing or unwilling?" If not, are you going to let us bully others? ”
"If you are willing, the other party is willing as long as you come forward to protect this matchmaker."
Unscrupulous means have to climb the merit building, how good can the character of such a family be? Lou Yuzhu really didn't know what Old Man Lou thought.
"Grandpa will not hesitate to kneel down today to force us to agree to this, yes, as you wish, as long as you don't regret it in the future." Lou Yuzhu stared at Old Man Lou's tearful face and shook her head. The other party's family obviously has the idea of getting benefits from the merit building family, but when they get married, they find that they can't get benefits from them but are suppressed everywhere, then this family business is not a marriage but a feud!
