77. Chance encounters
In the end, Lou Mingzhu was still carried into the Guo family as a concubine, and there was no symbolic wedding banquet, only some dowry and two hundred taels of silver tickets. The old man Lou, who originally wanted to hide the news, knew that he couldn't hide it, and his face was gray and directly angry, Liu Ah was very happy, but Ji Xiaorong was not a vegetarian, and he dug out eighty taels from the two hundred taels of dowry to become a two-bedroom private room, and choked Liu Ah angrily, Xu Chunting over there also mixed a kick, a sentence Lou Jinzhu Lou Yinzhu still had to say that he was close but was affected for no reason, etc., the two hundred taels of silver were reduced by half and only seventy taels were left, and Liu Ah fainted angrily.
The news was transmitted back to the third room, and Lou Chengyi was sent to see the brothers sitting in the study, Lou Ming was puzzled: "Isn't Ah Mo the most fond of the lobby brother?" ”
"Lou Wen is Lou Wen, Xu Chunting is Xu Chunting." Lou Yuzhu shook her head funny: "The subtlety of this, the second brother will understand it later." "The grandson and the daughter-in-law are not one, this is the idea of most of the Bo family, and Liu Ah Mo is just one of the leaders.
"How can there be a lobby brother without an uncle?"
Lou Ming's idea of loving the house and Wu made Lou Yuzhu laugh, and Xiao Lou Chen didn't dare to agree with his second brother's wisdom, and said in a milky voice: "Does the second brother like bees if he likes honey?" ”
This downstairs Hua Du smiled, beckoned Xiao Lou Chen and smiled at his nose: "It's not big, it's not small." ”
Lou Ming was directly stunned, it wasn't that Jue's little Lou Chen shouldn't have said him, but what does Jue's relationship have to do with bee mi?
Lou Yuzhu smiled and praised Xiao Lou Chen: "The fourth brother's metaphor is too incisive!" "For Liu A, Lou Wen is the sweetest honey, Xu Chunting is a bee, although the secret is produced by bees, it is impossible for him to thank the bees!
The brothers were talking and laughing in the study, and the wing building Chengyi came back, straddled his shoulders and said, "You Ah asked me to go to Guo's house and say that two hundred taels is too little, at least three hundred taels." ”
Is this three hundred taels sold to people addicted? The brothers looked at each other, and Lou Yuzhu sighed: "Dad agreed?" ”
"No, no" Lou Chengyi shook his head and said, "I said I would come back and ask, but I didn't promise you." ”
The old man Lou is sick and can't manage the energy, this Liu Ah will be a demon who dies, don't you know that the more Huan Lou Wenlou Jinzhu Lou Yinzhu brother will be pitted, even if Lou Wen is promoted in the exam, there are these stains in the estimation will be carefully considered, as for Lou Jinzhu Lou Yinzhu, good people will not want to be famous, bad people are going to the silver money that the brothers subsidized, can they treat people sincerely?
"It's best if Dad doesn't agree, if you agree, you will make your eldest brother miserable." In order to avoid Lou Chengyi from being stupid, Lou Yuzhu began to exaggerate the danger in the alarmism, what affects Lou Hua's scientific research, what affects the entry of the office, how to be strict, and even sacrifices that will affect him to say that he is pro, and the honest man said that he was stunned, and he promised to stop caring about this matter.
Lou Yuzhu nodded secretly, and Lou Chengyi was willing to listen to this is the best. "Then dad go and get busy, there are a lot of things that need your ideas in the future."
Lou Chengyi went to work by himself, and Lou Yuzhu watched people leave, with a blank expression on his face.
Lou Hua persuaded: "Brother Yu, don't worry, we won't interfere in this matter, let's make trouble in the old house." ”
"I'm not worried about this," Lou Yuzhu rubbed her forehead: "I just feel tired of thinking that if I can't get rid of the old mansion, there will always be such bad things." Why don't you know how to worry about it one by one? The idea of beating other people's money bags all day long is why not collect the money in your hand, not to mention that hundreds of acres, ten or twenty acres can be bought, right? If you have a talent and fame, you can be tax-free, and you don't have an income of dozens of taels a year, and you can always live a good life. ”
Lou Hua also can't understand this.
Xiao Louchen hit the nail on the head, and said in a milky voice: "It's just jealousy." Jealous of our wealth, jealous of our servants, jealous of our ability to be rich. ”
"People are small and ghosts are big." The words left by Mu Lao made Lou Yuzhu happy and at the same time he couldn't help but be quite strict with Xiao Louchen, but fortunately, Xiao Louchen is smart and self-motivated, not to mention that he overcompletes the homework assigned by Lou Yuzhu every day, and he also makes inferences from time to time to surprise people.
"Brother Yu taught well." Xiao Lou Chen squeezed his eyebrows at Lou Yuzhu.
Lou Hua Lou Ming tilted his head and smiled secretly.
Lou Yuzhu pretended to be annoyed and angry, twisted his ears, and said viciously: "I didn't teach you to talk back!" ”
"Hey, it hurts~~ But didn't Brother Yu say that everyone has the right to speak? Do you want to tell the truth? Xiao Louchen lifted his feet and protected his ears and begged for mercy.
"I've also taught you to read the dishes, right?"
Xiao Lou Chen blinked, and Lou Ming was stupid for a second.
Lou Yuzhu covered her eyes. Teach him to draw inferences from the dishes and learn to change his face in seconds, and really give Xiao Louchen's future enemies some wax!
This family is giggling, and there are no less than a dozen versions of the pearl in the wing, and it will be forgotten until May. Because today's birthday scientific examination is scheduled for September, it will be more than four months away. Lou Yuzhu proposed that Lou Hua go to Nanyang City to live first, firstly, because he wanted to have a stable environment, and secondly, he also wanted him to adapt to Nanyang City as soon as possible, at least there would be no unaccustomed to the examination room.
Upstairs Chengyi had almost no say in such matters, and Fu Linshu felt that this idea was right, so he fully supported it. There is something hidden in the backyard and the two husbands can't leave, Lou Hua is the most familiar with Nanyang City, and naturally wants to follow, Xiao Lou Chen has not been out of the far door since he was three years old, and he has to follow, Lou Ming also wants to go, but because he is not at ease at home alone, he finally thinks twice and still doesn't go.
The sun was scorching in May, and in order to avoid a little sin, the carriage set off before dawn, and Pei Guanying's carriage was waiting there at the gate of the town.
When he heard the sound, he lifted the curtain and shouted, "Sit down on my side, and you can talk." ”
The brothers were not polite and climbed up neatly. Pei Guanying's carriage is large and spacious enough, and there are more than four people to sit.
"How long has the second brother arrived?" The carriage staggered and began to go, and Lou Yuzhu sat down and asked.
"I've just arrived." Pei Guanying shook his head and handed over the food box at hand, which was full of dim sum made by the chef of Jufulou. "Eat while you still have a taste, and then the temperature will rise and you won't have a taste."
The dim sum made by the chef of Jufulou did not eat less, and Lou Yuzhu picked a piece of what she liked, and also took a piece for Xiao Louchen. Xiao Louchen was not yet three years old, and it was when he felt a lot, and when he went out, Lou Chengyi directly hugged the carriage. As soon as he sat down, Xiao Douding dozed off little by little, and after eating and drinking the pastry with sleepiness, he crooked to the side with a thunderous appearance of wanting to make up for sleep, Lou Yuzhu helped him put his posture and covered his stomach with a square scarf.
Pei Guanying said a few words to Lou Hua, and when she turned around, she just saw Lou Yuzhu covering Xiao Lou Chen's stomach with a square scarf, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help it
He tilted it and said softly: "Brother Yu'er, let's sleep too, while it's not hot yet." ”
Lou Yuzhu covered her mouth and blew delicately, and she didn't force herself to tilt to the side, and when she saw that Pei Guanying was still sitting, she persuaded directly: "Second brother, why don't you take a nap, there is enough horizontal and vertical space." ”
"I slept early yesterday and wasn't sleepy, so you can sleep." Pei Guanying was born in a family, and there is no habit of sleeping at will in the dogma, and when he wakes up, he has to deal with it mentally, which is already engraved in his bones.
Lou Hua saw that Pei Guanying didn't mean to sleep if he didn't sleep, so he leaned on the side of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, and took out his book to study until dawn.
As the sun rose, it became more and more scorching, and it was just at noon that I had to find a cool place to rest. The servants untied the carriage and let the horses graze, and a few people also took advantage of the shade to have lunch, but unfortunately because it was too hot, the taste was greatly reduced, and they ate a few bites to let people put it away.
After eating several pieces of mung bean cake, Lou Yuzhu touched her stomach: "It should be able to last until the evening to have a good meal." ”
Pei Guanying.
Xiao Louchen remembered the roast duck he brought back before, and wiped his saliva very angrily, and the little regret that was tossed by the scorching sun immediately disappeared.
Lou Hua covered his sleeves and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
After resting for more than an hour, the carriage set off again, and rushed to Nanyang City when the sun set, Pei Guanying looked at the three people who were not in good spirits: "This time, you can stay with me, it is just convenient for Lou Hua to discuss with me." ”
Lou Yuzhu thought about it for a while, but Lou Hua refused.
Pei Guanying didn't force it: "Cheng, then I'll send you over first, have a good night's rest, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”
When they arrived at the door of their house, the brothers watched Pei Guanying's carriage leave before entering the door, and the servants who had come to the news here had already prepared, and the house had already been cleaned and vegetables and fruits were prepared. The brothers washed off the dust, ate delicious foods such as roast duck lo-mei packed by Xinyi Building, turned around and fell asleep until dawn.
Before I got dressed and my hair was combed, a servant came to report that Zhou Ye and Pei Gongzi were here. After making a simple gesture at random, Lou Yuzhu went to the main hall and smiled at the two of them: "It's so hanging in the quilt." ”
Pei Guanying smiled, and Zhou Cheng was also embarrassed, and said, "That's really a pity." ”
Lou Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him, Lou Hua over there led Xiao Lou Chen over, and when the personnel arrived, they were ready to go to Gu Fenglou to have a meal of Fengsheng breakfast. Coincidentally, he collided with Li Shangyi and the others.
Li Shang greeted him excitedly. "When did Second Brother Pei and Brother Yu come? Why didn't you notify me? ”
Pei Guanying bowed his head reservedly: "I only arrived yesterday." ”
Although Li Shang is a gentleman, his ability to observe his face and appearance is not low, and seeing that Pei Guanying's ambition is not high, he has to stubbornly say: "It's better to meet by chance, or let's eat together, right?" What about Second Brother Pei? ”
On the day Li Yue got married, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu were arranged to go to the side courtyard, which made Pei Guanying a little annoyed, and wanted to embarrass a little, Lou Yuzhu looked at Li Shang's face with shame, and sighed secretly in his heart, but he was a collaborator.
"Second brother, speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Li for almost half a year, why don't you just sit down and get together, so you don't have to make an appointment later."
Li Shang hurriedly beat the snake and nodded violently with the stick.
Pei Guanying couldn't tear down the platform of Lou Yuzhu, so he had to agree. While people were glaring at him inattention, Lou Yuzhu looked back at a helpless expression. Li Yue's matter has nothing to do with Li Shang, and the prefect also came to the door to apologize, there is no need to hold on to this little thing to embarrass the two families, if you get along with each other, you can get along with each other, and you can do it with a score in your heart.
It's just that Lou Yuzhu's thoughts are too optimistic, but I don't know that others don't think so, one of them is Lin Zilian, who has already married Li Shangding. It stands to reason that he has already married Li Shang, so he should be at ease, but this person is often a mediocre person, and his attitude towards Lou Yuzhu is a bit weird.
