Methodically prepare the dowry and discuss the furniture in the dowry with the Changle Bofu, and wait until the second day of the fifth month of the following year, the dowry of the big red silk is carried into the Zhou Mansion, and the festive music is accompanied by the sedan chair, the sound of firecrackers, and it is enough to stop for a day.

The next day, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng sat in the first seat and received the gift of Zhou Yi and their newlywed husband Zhao Yao, drank the tea offered by their daughter-in-law and gave a red envelope. ”

Zhao Yao said yes shyly and timidly.

Of course, Lou Yuzhu didn't expect to make sense at one time, after all, everyone needs a run-in period, right?

Three days later, Yuzhu returned to the gatehouse to prepare a gift for Changle Bofu in person, and asked the two to rest for a night, but they didn't want to go back in the evening. Lou Yuzhu was stunned: "Didn't you say to rest for one night, why did you go back again?" ”

Zhao Yao smiled and took the tea from the slave's hand and handed it to Lou Yuzhu: "My father means that he is close to the family, and he should come back as soon as possible to be filial to his family." ”

"What's the reason to ignore it, my brother who has been raised for more than ten years can be filial piety in front of his parents once he gets married?" said this in his mouth, took the tea in his hand, took a sip, and then said: "Don't listen to these vain, tell the truth, as long as you have a heart, even if you are not in front of you every day, you can be filial; If you don't have the heart, it will be empty if you stay with you every day, and it is better to see that it is pure. ”

Lou Yuzhu's words were very different from the concepts that Zhao Yao had always accepted, and he almost confused him, and turned around and asked Zhou Yi tentatively, so that he didn't want to choke Zhou Yi enough.

"I'm still wondering when you'll find out!" Thinking of this, Zhou Yijue was very happy: "In the past few days, we have gone to ask for peace, and you haven't noticed that my father's face is not good?" ”

Zhao Yao said cautiously: "I thought I was going late and doing something bad." ”

"It's not that I'm late, it's not that I'm not doing well," thinking of the expression on his father's face in the past few days, Zhou Yi can be happy for a day, don't blame him for being bad, it's really Zhou Yi, who has been oppressed since he was a child, loves to watch them eat and choke. "I went too early, and I did it too well. Our family has never had the habit of asking for peace, all of them go to the main hall to eat at the hour, and if you don't want to eat, you will order the voice to send it to the room, as for the breakfast to my dad to bring water and porridge or something is my father's work, these days you have robbed my father of the work of kindness, behind my father has glared at me several times! ”

Zhao Yao was dumbfounded: "No wonder every time I go to see the second brother, a few slave brothers in Daddy's room who are waiting for me look at me strangely, and sometimes I see Daddy's clothes not taken care of." Saying that, Zhao Yao looked at me with disgust: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, I have made so many jokes in the past few days." ”

If you want to see his father being embarrassmented in the bed, will he say? If you want to borrow her husband's hand to toss Daddy, will he say? I can't even say it's suffocating. So I could only pretend to be stupid and say, "Didn't I say it?" On the wedding day, I said don't get up early, what do you say about the etiquette to get up early. ”

Thinking of being tossed early in the morning on the wedding day, Zhao Yao's face immediately turned red, and it was not a matter of leaving for a while.

Zhou Yi, who had enough of appreciating the change in the expression on the husband's face, said after a while: "There are no rules in our family, but there are many habits that you can't explain clearly for a while, and you will slowly know it later." However, before you get used to it, you need to be mentally prepared to split up. ”

Zhao Yao was refreshed his cognition again.

"It's not the kind of separation you think. In fact, it was my father who bothered us brothers, and he had already made up his mind to wait for our brothers to get married, and after the separation, the two of them would have a better time living alone. Seeing that Zhao Yao still couldn't understand, he thought for a while and said: "In short, don't use the standards of the world to measure my father, as for my father, you don't have to worry about it at all, and generally my father won't pay attention to things that my father doesn't care about." ”

Zhao Yao said that he couldn't understand, and he didn't want Tianlou Yuzhu to really mention the separation of the family two months later.

After dinner, the family got together, Lou Yuzhu swept his eyes and finally stopped on Zhao Yao's face, and said comfortingly: "This matter has been said a long time ago, so Brother Yao doesn't need any burden." ”

Zhao Yao stole a glance at his husband-in-law, and when he saw that he was calmly drinking tea, he nodded and said, "I know, I listen to Daddy's orders." ”

Lou Yuzhu swept his eyes and Zhou Yi glanced at Zhou Yu, and then swept over the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

Zhou Yi and Zhou Yu looked at each other, their scalps were numb and said, "It's okay to split up, but I won't take over the family's business." ”

Zhou Yu pretended to reply: "If the boss doesn't pick me up, I won't answer it." ”

Zhou Qi spread his hands: "The eldest and the second are not answered, and it is not my turn to be the third, right?" ”

Zhou Lin followed with kindness: "I am the fourth." ”

Lao Wuzhou Rui showed his attitude with a cold face: "I won't take it." ”

The sixth Zhou An looked well-behaved: "I am the sixth child, and I have five brothers in front of me." ”

Zhou Yi squinted at the sixth child: "You are the richest of the six brothers, and you should take over." ”

Zhou An replied, turned around and said to Zhou Yu: "I am the richest, that is because I collect a lot of money during the New Year, and it stands to reason that the second brother is the best at making money." He has the most shops in his hands. ”

Zhou Yu smiled and glanced at the fifth child: "I have a lot of shops in my hands, but only quantity, and in terms of quality, I can't compare to the fifth child." Zhou Yu, who turned a blind eye to Zhou Rui's cold gaze, said that the dead Dao friend is not a poor Dao, and compared to this coldness, it is more of a loss to take over the family's business.

"The third brother used to say that he wanted to become the biggest imperial merchant and earn all the money in the world."

Zhou Qi, who was betrayed by Zhou Rui, was not panicked at all, and spread his hands and said, "How old am I?" Six or seven? Old five, you have such a good memory, it's a shame not to go into business! ”

The six brothers were fighting happily, and Lou Yuzhu swept her eyes coldly: "Make it up, then make it up, I'll watch it." ”

The six brothers immediately shut up. Zhou Yu gave the sixth Zhou An a look.

Zhou An leaned to Zhou Cheng's side from Shanruliu, blinked his eyes that were the same as Lou Yuzhu and said, "Dad, Mr. said that I am a material for Confucianism, and I am not in business." ”

From childhood to adulthood, Lao Liu relied on being the most like himself and how many benefits did he ask for from Zhou Cheng? Lou Yuzhu didn't bother to talk about him, and directly tore the person apart: "Try to play tricks again?" ”

Zhou Cheng hurriedly gave Zhou An a look and signaled him to be restless.

Zhou An, who received the look, was busy and sat back in his chair.

Lou Yuzhu, who looked at the eyes in his eyes, rubbed his forehead, and had a pig teammate in his heart, and then said to the six brothers: "I didn't expect you to take over now." Now only real estate is divided, and business is divided but not now. "Since the boss is on the job, he can't hold back, at least not before he has a firm foothold.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the things handed by Lou Yuzhu, opened it and saw that there were two Zhuangzi, three courtyards with two entrances, eleven shops of different sizes, more than 600 acres of fertile land, more than 300 acres of mountainous land, and two mulberry gardens, a total of 200 acres, all of which can operate on their own, and the only drawback is that these things are distributed in various places. Finally, 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

"This one is from the public school, and the other is from my dowry, and I will let the steward hand it over to you when I get back."

Before opening the so-called other Zhou Yi subconsciously looked at his father, Zhou Cheng had already frowned and said to Lou Yuzhu: "Your dowry can't be moved, what is missing from the public to buy it." ”

"Over the years, my dowry has only come in and out, and keeping it makes me cāo heart not so good as to divide it and let me be lighter earlier." There is no dowry for eating, and Zhou Cheng adds something from time to time, and the dowry of 200,000 taels is now 300,000 taels. "It must be divided horizontally and vertically, and it is better to divide later than early."

As soon as Lou Yuzhu showed weakness, Zhou Cheng was out of line, Zhou Yi looked at another one, and found that there was a three-entry courtyard in the west of Shangjing City, which was very close to the yamen where he worked. "Daddy, this yard is for us?"

"Now that you know, when are you going to move?" Lou Yuzhu said it with confidence, and Zhou Yi was speechless.

Zhou Yu gloated on the side: "I will go to see the boss when I have time." ”

Zhou Yi glanced at him, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of meaning, and said happily: "I'll move tomorrow." Then he moved to the next house, and the original house had already been removed by him, and even the repairs and other things were completed before he got married.

By the time Lou Yuzhu got the news and rushed over, Zhou Yi had almost smashed the wall between the two households.

Zhou Yi, who was carrying the hammer, knocked out the last two bricks, and the impulsive Lou Yuzhu pulled out a smile: "This is called one foot high and one foot high." ”

Zhou Yu, who rushed to hear the news, raised his finger: "Serve!" ”

The other four brothers are also convinced.

Lou Yuzhu's heart and liver hurt.

Zhou Cheng crossed his eyes: "What should I do if the family rules are in violation?" ”

Zhou Yi threw the hammer to the strong servant, looked at Zhao Yao on the side, and replied, "Squat for an hour." My son will go. With that, he bent his legs next to him and stretched out his hand to pose in a very standard squatting posture, and instructed the strong servant to clean up the remaining bricks and other things on the wall, and put them on the flowers, greenery, and other things.

Lou Yuzhu gritted her teeth angrily: "Do you think that I won't be able to take care of you if my wings are hard?" ”

Zhou Yixin was going to be bad, knowing that he was too arrogant.

"The third and fourth went to find a rope to tie two bricks and hang them on your eldest brother's hand, the second and fifth went to find a pot of cacti to put on their buttocks, and the sixth went to find a timing hourglass." After speaking, he sneered: "The brick is heavy, the cactus is looking for more thorns, and the hourglass is not a grain of sand!" ”

The five brothers shrunk their necks and threw a sympathetic look at Zhou Yi, and then went to look for something very happily. Things together, immediately hanging the rope to put the cactus to put the cactus, the sixth Zhou An held the hourglass and said distressedly: "Big brother has been squatting for a quarter of an hour, but my hourglass is an hour, and Daddy said that there can't be a grain of sand missing, so let's start from now on." It's such a happy decision, big brother! ”

With a cactus on his buttocks and bricks hanging on his hands, Zhou Yi, who couldn't move, could only look at Zhou An: "I really hurt you for nothing on weekdays, the sixth child." There are also the second, third, fourth, and fifth, be careful not to fall into my hands, otherwise hum! ”

Zhou Yu flicked his nails with a smile: "I'll talk about it later, it's only now important to be cool." Then he summoned the servants and asked the kitchen to bring several delicacies, and the five brothers began to eat and drink in front of Zhou Yi.

Zhao Yao was distressed and funny, moved a stool and stood by the side, handing him some water and saying something from time to time to relieve his boredom. An hour passed, Zhou Yi untied the brick activity and moved his hands and feet, and casually pulled the bamboo strips next to him, and the five brothers ran all over the yard.

Zhao Yao, who was watching from behind, couldn't help laughing, and the rest of the slaves couldn't help laughing.

After the oolong moved, Lou Chengyi and his wife also set off to return to Yanjia Village, and then Zhao Yao became pregnant three months later, and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhou family in July of the following year, named Zhou Xue. When Zhou learned to babble and babble, Zhou Yu was promoted to the first class in the examination, and the relationship between Hou Pei Sheng of Jingyang and Pei Sheng accompanied an official who was released and became a tasteless master. Three years later, he took the exam again, and was appointed by the Son of Heaven as a tanhua during the palace examination, and in the same year, he married the brother of a colleague of Lou Chen, and then took the new husband to a county to become a magistrate.

In the same year, Mr. Zhang died in October, when Lou Yuzhu was thirty-five years old, and Zhou Cheng was not confused.
