64. Shameless
The matter of the third room cleaning up the second room so neatly spread in the village, and there are many people who say that the third room is ruthless and that the second room deserves it, but these rumors will eventually pass, and Lou Yuzhu is the continuation of the old house. At this time, the benefits of being good friends with the Wei family will be revealed, and you can hear any movement in the distance between the next door and the next door.
Wei Ah Mo and the two daughters-in-law of the Wei family are also wonderful people, and they come to the door every three or five to talk about the eight letters of the old house, and they don't add oil and vinegar, to tell the truth, Ji Xiaorong and Liu Ah Mo in the second room are better than today, who should have a quarrel over Lou Chengli's medicine money, and for example, Xu Chunting was scolded by Liu Ah Mo for not doing a good job, and for example, Lou Chengzu and Lou Chengli had a disagreement with the two brothers, and about Lou Mingzhu and Lou Yinzhu had a fight or something, there were a few fights every day, and it was almost like watching a big show.
Lou Yuzhu laughed secretly when he heard it and said in his heart, it is not in vain for him to sow discord, the dog eats the dog's hair, it is very happy!
With the passage of time, the matter of stealing shrimp nets was gradually forgotten, and it soon entered the autumn harvest, and it was also Lou Chengli's back, and the injury just happened to be busy with farming, and more than 30 acres of land were enough to choke even if they hired two long-term workers, but they were more tired and tired to put the grain into the warehouse, and the notice of the court conscription for two months was also posted.
Men over the age of 16 and under the age of 50, the old mansion is full and the old house is counted as Lou Chengzu and Lou Chengli, and the old man Lou is not on the list when he is fifty years old in the first month of last year. Lou Chengzu is a showman, and he is not on the list of conscripts, but only Lou Chengli is eligible for the population of the old mansion.
Lou Chengli will do it!
The old mansion can't figure out and find a third room, but Lou Yuzhu has been sorting out the plan for the chain inn in the past few months, and has taken the time to go to Fucheng, and also take care of the artificial breeding of big red crayfish, in addition, in order to thank Mu Lao for being willing to let Lou Hua and Lou Ming audit the lecture, and he is still studying the distillation of liquor, and he is busy and wants to use one person as two, and he really doesn't want to pay attention to the bad things in the old house.
"Where's my dad?" Lou Yuzhu put down the pen and looked up to ask Liu Kui, who was speaking.
Liu Kui bent his knees and replied: "The master went to the shrimp field, and Jun Fulang led the little master to take a nap." ”
Since the shrimp field matter was put on the agenda, Lou Chengyi, an honest man, has been there almost every day, and he looks more enthusiastic than Lou Yuzhu, the initiator. "Let's just say we're not available." Lou Hua Lou Ming is busy with his studies every day, and sometimes he rests in the town at night, and he really has no time.
Liu Kui hesitated and said: "If you want a lot of brothers, let's go and take a look, the slave sees that this time it is indeed quite a big trouble." Seeing that Lou Yuzhu was puzzled, she explained in a low voice: "I heard that the second master over there beat the eldest master, and it seems that he also saw blood." ”
Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu smiled. "Cheng, then let Huangshan put on the ox cart, and I'll take a look."
The oxcart was set, Lou Yuzhu led Huang Ying up, shook to the old house, and then helped Huang Ying's wrist to get off the ox cart. Looking at the lively automatic separation of the roadside road, Lou Yuzhu smiled and greeted the people who were good friends, and then stepped into the old house.
At the top of the hall, the old man Lou seemed to be panting and seemed to be angry, and Lou Wen stood behind him to give him relief. Liu Ah Mo also had tears rippling, and Xu Chunting leaned next to him and persuaded softly. Lou Chengli knelt on the ground, Lou Chengzu was half-lying on the chair, holding his waist with one hand and pressing the corner of his forehead with a white towel with the other, the white towel was stained red with blood, and his mouth kept moaning in pain.
Old Man Lou saw Lou Yuzhu and said angrily: "What about your father?!" ”
Lou Yuzhu retracted her gaze to look at the excitement, found a clean stool to sit on, and replied, "My father is busy with work and is not at home." ”
Old Man Lou's eyes were dark again: "What about your father?" What about your eldest brother and second brother, you're always at home, right?! ”
"My father and the fourth brother are free, as for my eldest brother and second brother who are still studying in the town, they didn't come back yesterday."
Lou Wen raised his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Brother Yu'er is afraid that he is mistaken, the school in the town today should be Mu Xiu." ”
"The school in the town is Mu Xiu, but it doesn't mean that you can't study, right? The teacher of the family who was good friends with our family gave a lecture and allowed my eldest brother and second brother to observe, this precious opportunity must not be missed! "Mu Lao's class is not something that everyone can listen to, otherwise Lou Yuzhu would not have spent time, effort and money studying distilled liquor in order to thank the other party for taking the trouble to find out that the other party likes fine wine.
Hearing this, Lou Wen's eyes flashed, but he was no longer serious.
Lou Wen is not more serious, it does not mean that the old man Lou is not more serious, and angrily slapped the table and said angrily: "Call your father over!" ”
Lou Yuzhu smiled, swept around and said slowly: "What does grandpa insist on calling my father over?" I can also be the master of what my father can do, and I can be the master of things that my father can't do, but I can be the master, why don't I tell me, when the time comes, my father can't be the master, and he will go back and relay it to let me make up my mind. ”
"You!" The meaning of Lou Yuzhu's words made Old Man Lou's anger soar again.
Lou Yuzhu didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Grandpa can say anything about it, I'll listen." ”
Old Man Lou was angry again, but unfortunately there was no way to take Lou Yuzhu alive or dead, so he had to compromise and say the matter in the end. In fact, it's very simple, Lou Chengli is dissatisfied with the matter of serving in the conscription, and asked Liu Ah to take twenty taels of silver out to find someone to replace him, Liu Ah Mo naturally refused to Lou Chengli to find Lou Chengzu, Lou Chengzu is also a selfish person who only enters, and Lou Chengli is not convinced and moves. The age difference between the two brothers is not much and it is the age of the blood and energy, and the real fire is not light or heavy, but in the end, Lou Chengli, who has more strength, won, and Lou Chengzu's body that never does heavy work will be beaten when he starts to do it.
After listening to the whole story, Lou Yuzhu pretended to be innocent and blinked: "The uncle and the second uncle are fighting, and grandpa has his own verdict, what are you looking for my father to do?" ”
Liu Ah Mo wiped his face and scolded harshly: "The second child was beaten by you for more than two months and lay in bed for more than two months, and then he was busy with farming, if he was not injured, how could he lose his body and not be able to work for more than two months?" If you can do your job, why don't you want to go to conscription?! ”
"I'm afraid people are old and confused, right? The 20 boards of the second uncle were not played by our family, they were played by the official family. As for the reason for beating the second uncle, both the official family and Li Zheng have judged, our third room is a bitter master, and the fault is not ours. Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips and said, "If you forget, I don't mind going to the official's house to ask Li Zheng to see what was the verdict in the first place." ”
Liu Ah Mo stared at Lou Yuzhu with a resentful expression: "If you hadn't made it bad, the official would have rushed straight to our house?" "They didn't have time to hide things, and they were caught?!
"Ah, you can't say that, you have to pay attention to evidence when you have a relationship with the official family, otherwise you will be held accountable for slander!" As she spoke, Lou Yuzhu hooked her lips and said, "Ah Mo is old, the official family may be merciful and the board will not fall to you, but you have several sons under you, but they can really be replaced." Our three rooms have been separated, and we can't be held accountable, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are not separated, tsk, this uncle is injured and has seen blood, and the second uncle is just right, don't think about yourself, but you have to think more about the two uncles. ”
"You don't scare me!"
"I'm not scaring Ah, if you don't believe it, ask the uncle and the cousin, they teach and read in the town, and they know best how to determine the slander of the official." said that scaring was really wronged Lou Yuzhu, and these words are not false.
"My son is a showman, will the official family beat him?" Liu Ah tightened his body, as if he thought that his rebuttal was justified.
Lou Yuzhu was about to die of laughter when she heard this. "The punishment is not a sergeant, that is the gift of the people of the dawn who have great construction in the court, and the emperor Chrysostom is only counted, the uncle is just a showman, one pair of the people of the dawn has no grace, and the other has no construction of the court, how can he receive such a great gift?"
Liu Ah Mo also quibbled and shouted loudly: "My son is the first talent in Yanjia Village!" It's the face of Yanjia Village! Hitting him is a slap in the face of the entire village of Yanjia Village! ”
"Uncle is not the first talent in Yanjia Village, the first talent in Yanjia Village has turned to ashes, Uncle is just a talent in Yanjia Village in the past ten years, and it just so happens that others have not been admitted. As for the face? Ah, this face is given by people, and people give it that they like virtue is to respect character, if virtue is not good, then the face can't be pasted on the face! ”
"Enough!" Old Man Lou has a headache with anger.
Lou Yuzhu saw enough of the excitement, got up and said: "Grandpa, if there is nothing else, I will go back, as for this matter today, grandpa himself decides, our three rooms really can't help." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the old man Lou also said that Lou Wen next to him whispered a few words in his ear, and then the old man Lou's expression changed and let Lou Yuzhu leave.
Lou Yuzhu mentioned this matter to Lou Chengyi in the evening, and then threw away his hand, but later heard Wei Ah Mo say that in the end, the second room won, and the old mansion paid twenty taels of silver to find someone to replace Lou Chengli for two months. Lou Yuzhu, who originally thought that this matter was over, didn't want to lead Lou Wen to the door two days later, even though he was already crazy in his heart, he couldn't wait to beat people out, but because of secular etiquette, Lou Yuzhu could only listen to the other party's intentions patiently.
After listening to the old man Lou's intention, Lou Yuzhu felt that he really lost his temper under the laughter.
Lou Chengyi's solid bun had already been dizzy by Old Man Lou's previous good words, and he turned his head and said to Lou Yuzhu innocently: "Pei Gongzi's teacher is the old Mu who came last time?" Old Man Mu is good, and he also praised me for planting well in the field, and taking good care of the fruit trees planted in the back. Saying that, Chonglou Yuzhu said with a flattering smile: "Hello Old Man Mu, Brother Yu'er, you can talk to Pei Gongzi, if you can, let your lobby brother go to observe." ”
Lou Chengyi said that Lou Yuzhu was not angry, he just wanted to laugh. In fact, he did laugh, and the tears of laughter came out of his eyes.
Lou Chengyi was stunned for a while.
Old Man Lou was also surprised, only Lou Wen pursed his lips.
Fu Linshu, who was originally in the house with the fourth child, found out when he heard the words, and when he saw Lou Yuzhu smiling like this, he was busy hugging Lou Chen to Lou Chengyi, and then he stepped forward to pat Lou Yuzhu on the back. "What's so funny like this?"
Lou Yuzhu picked up Fu Linshu, and finally stopped laughing and began to hiccup, and at first glance, it was too much to laugh.
Fu Linshu hurriedly beckoned Huang Ying to twist the hot towel, and instructed Liu Kui to make tea, wipe his face with the hot towel and pour down a cup of hot tea, Lou Yuzhu took a deep breath and held back his breath, and only exhaled when he couldn't hold it back.
Lou Yuzhu, who no longer hiccuped, motioned to Fu Linshu to sit down and said, "Daddy, I'm fine, I just felt funny when I heard a big joke." ”
"Jokes?" Fu Linshu took Lou Chen from Lou Chengyi's hand and asked curiously. "What joke?"
With a smile that wanted to laugh again, Lou Yuzhu took the tea made by Liu Kui and took a sip and said, "This is for the lobby brother." ”
Old Man Lou reacted and lowered his face: "Brother Yu means you don't agree?" ”
"Let's talk about things that I don't agree with, grandpa first ask the lobby brother how much he has asked about Second Brother Pei and his teacher." Lou Yuzhu shook her head secretly, if you want to audit Mu Lao's class, you can listen to it, then Pei Guanying's big mansion is estimated to be a little smaller.
Lou Wen pursed his lips: "Brother Yu doesn't agree, so you don't need to make any excuses." ”
Old Man Lou glared at Lou Chengyi, and Lou Chengyi looked at Lou Yuzhu.
"Grandpa, what's the hurry? Why don't you listen to what the lobby brother has inquired about? ”
Lou Wen lowered his eyebrows.
Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Brother Lobby, don't you want to say it or don't you dare to say it?" Well? About the identity of Second Brother Pei and the identity of Mu Lao? ”
"What don't you dare to say?" Old Man Lou frowned: "It's just that,"
"Grandpa, be cautious." Interrupting Old Man Lou's words, Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Wen: "Since the lobby brother doesn't say it, then I'll say it on behalf of the lobby brother." ”
Lou Chengyi, who swept his eyes and showed doubts, Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Dad only said that Old Man Mu is good, but you can know that Old Mu's full name is Mu Yan, and he is one of the best great Confucians in the world's literary world. After a pause, he said: "Teacher Mu used to be an old court, strictly speaking, he was from the same family as the current emperor, and he had no official position but could enter and leave the palace freely. Dad think about it, such a prominent Confucian old man, his class can be listened to if he wants to? "Lou Yuzhu sometimes really wants to knock on Lou Chengyi's head and see if there are weeds inside, I don't know what to do!
Old Man Lou was already stunned when he heard 'one of the best masters in the world's literary world', and it was not much more than Lou Chengyi's stunned appearance.
"Second Brother Pei's full name is Pei Guanying, he is from the first-class marquis mansion in Shangjing, and he is the son of the prince of Jingyang." Not surprisingly, Pei Guanying will be the new Marquis of Jingyang in the future!
"Then you should bring your brother even more!" Old Man Lou was first stunned by this string of names, and then it was hot! Thinking about taking these lines, it will be a flying yellow in the future!
"Grandpa hasn't understood yet, it's no longer a question of whether to carry it or not."
Lou Wen squinted: "Could it be that if Lou Hua and Lou Ming can listen, I can't?" ”
Lou Yuzhu didn't answer, turned to Old Man Lou and said, "We can't agree to this, grandpa, please go back." "Mu Lao, that person looks amiable, but in fact it is difficult to approach, in order to get closer, Lou Yuzhu has no less brains. Want to get a piece of the pie before you receive your delicious fruits? Is it possible? As for Pei Guanying, there is the income of Xinyi Building, Big Restaurant, and the next chain inn, and the amount of money is enough to impress the other party and make him take the initiative to get closer to the relationship between the two parties.
"The third child!"
Lou Chengyi was stunned and looked at Old Man Lou blankly.
Old Man Lou hated that iron could not become steel, and he was quite annoyed by Lou Chengyi's soft and unassertive appearance: "You are the head of this family, you should be a bit of a head of the family!" ”
Lou Yuzhu knew what Old Man Lou meant, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, my father must have the spirit of the head of the family, and our family will not be the same as before." "If Lou Chengyi wants to be able to stand up, he will be bullied like that in the second room of the big house? In the past, didn't the old man Lou also eat Lou Chengyi's soft temperament and only took the third room as the cornerstone, but now that the third room is erected, he blames Lou Chengyi's soft temperament? Why did you go earlier?
Old Man Lou was angry again, but Lou Yuzhu was impatient to grind with him, and said to Huangshan: "Huangshan, you go to set up an ox cart and send the old man and the young master back to the house." ”
Driving the two away, Lou Yuzhu turned around and said angrily to Lou Chengyi: "Dad, please ask us before you what you promised the old mansion next time, otherwise I won't help you clean up the mess!" "Fortunately, he didn't go out today, otherwise Lou Chengyi would have been told by Mr. Lou to go to the door to tell Mr. Mu about letting Lou Wen listen, thinking about that picture is beautiful enough.
Lou Chengyi knew the identity of Mu Lao and Pei Guanying, and he was scared half to death first, how dare he not be? Nodding his head at the moment is like pounding garlic.
In the evening, as soon as Lou Hua Lou Ming came back and heard about this, Lou Ming was angry on the spot: "It's so shameless!" ”
"You be quiet, don't scare the little four." Lou Yuzhu hugged Lou Chen and pinched his little hands, and then scratched his armpits, making people giggle. "It's someone else's business to be shameless, but we want to be embarrassed."
Lou Ming knew that he was wrong, so he hurriedly reined in his voice and went up to tease.
Lou Chen is nine months old, he is quietly chubby, he laughs when he teases, and he dances happily when he laughs, and he really can't hold it without a little effort.
Lou Hua smiled and watched the two brothers make fun of the villain, and then took the person from Lou Yuzhu's hand before he was about to break his breath, patted Lou Chen Shunqi on his back, and asked Lou Yuzhu: "What happened later?" ”
"I refused to drive him back." Lou Yuzhu told the previous incident, and then said: "Ming'er, I will go with you to the second brother to tell Mu Lao about this, so as not to say something ugly over there and affect the reputation of Mu Lao and the second brother." ”
"Okay, tomorrow morning, we'll take half a day off and go with you."
On the morning of the second day, Lou Hua and Lou Ming first went to the college to hand over the fake note, and then went to Pei Guanying's with Lou Yuzhu.
Pei Guanying listened to his brother's intentions, and looked at Mu Lao with a smile: "Brother Yu is too cautious, this idea is not worth taking to heart." ”
Mu Lao smiled: "You need to know that those who are clear are self-pure, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, so why are you afraid of that little gossip?" ”
The brother breathed a sigh of relief, and Lou Yuzhu said: "This incident is always because of us, and I still have to say sorry to Mu Lao." ”
"I've been through a lot of wind and rain in my life, what is that?" After speaking, Mu Lao remembered Lou Yuzhu's promise before and said narrowly: "If you really want to apologize, brew the wine you promised before, you should have asked you to make a strip if you knew it, lest you can't get it and play tricks when the time comes!" ”
Lou Yuzhu smiled unconsciously: "I came here this time to tell Mu Lao about this." The letter from Fucheng said that the wine-making matter has achieved results, and I will set off tomorrow, and I will come back at the end of October at the earliest, the slowest and the beginning of November, and I will definitely give you the best answer to Mu Lao at that time! ”
"Good! Then I'll wait! ”
Mu Lao, who has a significant identity, is like a child when he talks about fine wine, and Lou Yuzhu doesn't realize it.
