75. Outer chamber
"Yo, I don't even have the face to say it!" Ji Xiaorong pretended to be ashamed to export.
Lou Yuzhu looked at him with a smile: "Does the second uncle still have a face?" Doesn't it mean that all these years have been lost? โ
"You!"
"Enough!" Old Man Lou glanced at Lou Yuzhu, and then turned to Lou Chengyi: "Third brother, do you mean the same thing?" โ
Lou Chengyi touched his head, looked at his son and brother, and said happily to the old man Lou: "Dad has this heart and son understands it, but we have already told some relatives and friends that if we don't do it, we have no reason to regret it." โ
Old Man Lou choked.
Lou Yuzhu lowered her head, covered her lips and suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, they had discussed whether to set up a banquet before, otherwise the honest Lou Chengyi really thought that the old man Lou was kind and would be in trouble as soon as he agreed.
The faces of the old people who thought they could achieve their goals were a little ugly, among them, the old man Lou and Lou Wen were the most, Liu Ah Mo was a faceless one, and when he heard that he couldn't calculate it, he stretched his face and asked the third room to pay for a banquet.
The banquet of the Zhuang family is set on more than 20 tables to support the death of ten taels of silver, which is really not a matter for the third room, but this money, no matter how much it is, it is also their third room, and it is not in vain to give people a good reason.
Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other and said, "We have money in the third room, but this is a loan or a direct request." โ
Liu Ah Mo looked downcast: "What? Do you still dare?! โ
"It's not that I don't want to, but I should always have a proper name. If it is borrowed, it should be repaid, and there should be a charter for how to repay it and when to repay it; If you want to," Lou Hua groaned, and continued: "When the family was separated, this article was clear, and if you want to change it, you need to invite Li Zheng and a few witnesses to come, and then discuss it together to make a number. โ
"I'm your Ah, what else do you want to invite with some money?! If you don't want to give it, just say it clearly, don't find any miscellaneous reasons. โ
Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows, knowing that they didn't want to give it, but she still opened her mouth, isn't this accurate, they can't refuse? Liu Ah Mo is really fearless. "Ah, what are these words? No one's money is stolen by the wind, and it makes sense to give it if you don't say it, but there has to be a procedure. Besides, the lobby brother borrowed a hundred taels for the scientific expedition before, and the hundred taels were not used up so quickly, and didn't grandpa just say that the two banquets would be provided by him, so that we would not be able to set up the banquet and the money would be gone, right? โ
Don't say it, as soon as he talked about the hundred taels of silver, Liu Ah was angry, and stared at Lou Yuzhu viciously: "Do you dare to say last time?" I asked for a hundred taels of silver, but you sent me 50,000 copper coins, and told the town money bank that you wouldn't give us a change?! "He moved his private house, and the 50,000 copper coins haven't been used up yet!
"Ah Mo said this, but I want to talk about evidence, why did Brother Sun kindly send the money?"
"It's not you!" Liu Ah is extremely angry.
Lou Yuzhu didn't want to be messed up with him, so she glanced at Lou Hua.
Lou Hua thought for a while and said to the old man Lou: "What does grandpa mean?" โ
Old Man Lou had a calm face and waved his hand directly: "Go back." โ
I did it directly, and it is estimated that Mr. Lou is really angry. Lou Yuzhu was eager to leave, and he was helping Fu Linshu to leave, and Liu Ah was doing it again.
"Stop! If you don't give money, then come and help! It was too busy to drive that day, so you came over to help, and the carriage also had to be used, especially you, the third family. You haven't been in the door a few times since you separated, and you came over to help in those days. โ
If there is something around, Lou Yuzhu estimates that she will smash it casually! Clay people have three points of fire, who can withstand such a toss!
Lou Chengyi was stunned, Fu Linshu didn't expect Liu Ah to come out like this, Lou Hua squinted. It is a matter of course for a daughter-in-law to serve her family, but Liu Ah Mo is obviously impure and goes to toss people!
Lou Yuzhu laughed angrily, and said to the old man Lou: "Grandpa also means this?" โ
The old man Lou naturally helps his wife, and he naturally will not object to the premise that he doesn't know what to do in the third room.
"Cheng, since grandpa also means the same, then we will come over to help that day." Lou Yuzhu half-lowered her eyelids and agreed, but she sneered in her heart. Want to toss them? Oh, don't blame him for being ruthless!
On this day, the old house was very lively, the old man Lou's friends, Lou Chengzu's classmates and Lou Wen's classmates all came to the old house early.
Lou Chengzu and Lou Wen, the father and son, are both literati robes, standing there politely, at first glance, they do have quite a literati style, but inside, hehe, Lou Yuzhu sneered. The two fathers and sons have a good interpretation of what it means to be a 'Sven scum'!
"Look at what? Look at Lou Huadu again, it's only second-class! Lou Mingzhu raised his chin and pushed Lou Yuzhu.
Lou Yuzhu was caught off guard and was pushed back two steps, speechless to see Lou Mingzhu's arrogant appearance, and then noticed something strange. Because Lou Mingzhu is dressed up so well, not to mention a bright new shirt, with a new hairstyle on his head and a beaded weaving flower, and a gold bracelet on his hand, he sees that it is not the one sent by the Wang family brother to slap his face last time he went to Xixia Temple in Wutong County? It is considered that Lou Mingzhu has turned fifteen years old, and as far as the Zhuang family is concerned, it is indeed the age when it is time to get married.
"Brother Ming, can't wait to get married?" This year's marriage will be married next year, no wonder the big room has full support for the big room to set up a banquet, the original motive is here, I want to find a good family for Lou Mingzhu to study? The abacus is good, but it's not a coincidence today.
At noon, when the guests were all ready to take their seats, there was another ox cart and a gorgeous brother about thirty years old.
Lou Yuzhu and Lou Hua looked at each other, turned their coughs and held back the corners of their mouths and prepared to watch a big show.
Lou Chengli didn't know anyone, so he greeted him suspiciously and said which guest's family it was.
Over there, Lou Chengzu saw that people's faces immediately turned white.
Tang Lian smiled at Lou Chengli and bent her knees, ignored Lou Chengzu's white face and greeted her, tearing away her gorgeous smile and shouting: "Master, Brother Lian is here~"
The rippling tone usually makes Lou Chengzu's bones soft, but at this time, when he listens to it, his bones are cold.
Old Man Lou was so happy that he didn't understand it for a while, but Xu Chunting did. Immediately, her face turned blue, and Tang Lian, who rushed up and slapped her, her smile was crooked: "Who is the prodigal hoof, who is the master!" โ
Lou Chengzu subconsciously felt distressed, Tang Lianxiao hid behind the other party, covered her face and said softly with tears: "Don't be angry, Brother Lian only came to see Brother Lian at this time, it was really Brother Lian'er's fault, I didn't plan to come to the door, but now Brother Lian'er is pregnant with the old man's flesh and blood, the child is innocent, I can't live without my father~"
These words are too informative, and they are enough to shock the people who eat and drink.
Old Man Lou's eyes darkened angrily.
Xu Chunting trembled angrily. As Lou Wen's father, today should be his most glorious day, but Tang Lianxiao's appearance turned this qiฤ into a joke, and it was a complete joke!
This change is too dramatic, and ordinary people really can't fit it!
Old Man Lou is still sensible, and immediately let the family of the big house into the house, but unfortunately Xu Chunting's family couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately let Lou Chengzu give an explanation!
"Our brother was also pampered and raised, and he worked hard to marry your Lou family for so many years, but in the end, he did this to our brother Ting? ! Do you still have a conscience?! โ
"Pity our brother Ting, I'm going to suffer this sin at the end!"
"This is the conscience of you scholars? Eaten by dogs, right?! โ
These words scolded all the scholars present, and they didn't throw their sleeves and leave on the spot because of their face, but in terms of their face, they were afraid that they remembered Lou Chengzu in their hearts.
Lou Jinzhu and Lou Yinzhu were all frightened, and helped Xu Chunting to look at the noisy farce in front of him with a pale face. A good happy event became a big joke because of this farce, and when he left the table with a full meal and wine, the look of watching the joke made the old man Lou stiff.
The banquet dispersed, Old Man Lou named and asked Sanfang to leave, Lou Yuzhu shrugged, his goal had been reached, it didn't matter if he listened to these eight letters or not, because he could guess it. Lou Chengyi was still stunned, because he never thought that his eldest brother would have someone outside.
Lou Yuzhu secretly rolled her eyes. A man in the prime of life rarely returns home a month, if he is far away from home, not to mention, not far from home, he has money in his hands and has a very high self-esteem, no one is strange outside! Poor Xu Chunting is still full of trust in Lou Chengzu, don't you know that the other party has been living happily for several years, and his good son Lou Wen. Knowing that Lou Chengzu had an outer room outside, but Yu Xu Chunting didn't say a word, I really don't know what the other party thinks.
Back at his house, Lou Yuzhu persuaded Lou Chengyi and his wife to rest, only then turned around and Lou Yuan Lou Wu ran over with a white face, asking Sanfang to go to the town immediately to ask the doctor to sit in the hall, saying that the person had a miscarriage.
Lou Yuzhu and Lou Hua looked at each other, and while telling Huangshan to go to the town to ask for a doctor, they set off to take a look at the old mansion. Asked the reason along the way, it turned out that Xu Chunting, who knew that this outer room had been raised for four or five years, came up and pounced on Lou Chengzu to tear up the frame, and the brother-in-law of the Xu family naturally helped, and Lou Yinzhu pushed Tang Lian to laugh in a melee, if it wasn't for the pain and bleeding, it is estimated that this fight is still going on.
The group entered the old house. I saw that the main hall was in a mess, the stool turned over the teacup and the teapot was smashed, the old man Lou sat in the first seat and gasped, Liu Ah wiped his tears angrily, Xu Chunting exuded a wolf bรจi with fierce eyes, if it wasn't for Ji Xiaorong pulling it, it is estimated that he would rush up again and fight with Lou Chengzu, on the other hand, Lou Chengzu is not much better, his face is full of scratches, his hair is scattered, his clothes are torn, and he is supported by Lou Chengzu. The uncle of the Xu family next to him was not injured, but he was angry enough, and Tang Lian was lying on the ground crying with a smile, and there was blood on his pants, judging from the amount of money, it is estimated that the child will not be able to save it.
Lou Chengyi looked at this and looked over there, and he didn't know how to intervene with an embarrassed face. Lou Yuzhu sighed secretly and pulled the other party to sit on the side.
Over there, Lou Hua Chonglou said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I've already asked people to go to the town to ask for a doctor." โ
Old Man Lou was already angry and lost his temper, and waved his hand to indicate that he knew.
After that, the doctor came to the door, checked Tang Lianxiao's pulse to confirm the miscarriage, and then prescribed medicine and left. Instructed Huangshan Haosheng to send the doctor back to the town, Lou Hua returned to the house and sat next to Lou Chengyi.
As soon as he thought that a good happy event would turn into a farce, the face of the old house would be thrown to the ground and stepped on, which would affect Lou Wen's reputation in the future, and the old man Lou was like a knife. It's just that the problem must always be solved. "Boss, what are you going to do?"
Lou Chengzu originally felt guilty about Xu Chunting, but this beating also made him angry, and he hated at the moment: "Brother Lian is my person, and now he has a miscarriage and is weak, so naturally he can't ignore it." The implication is to let Tang Lian smile and enter the door.
Of course the Xu family refused, but Lou Chengzu was used to them, but he was not afraid of them, not to mention that now Lou Wen was in the first class and had a bright future, and he was more and more afraid of the Xu family.
Seeing that he was about to quarrel again, the old man Lou slapped the table, glared at Lou Chengzu fiercely, and then said to the Xu family: "How to deal with it is our family matter, is it not polite for the eldest brother of the in-laws to insert a bar?" โ
The eyes of the eldest brother of the Xu family turned black angrily, but he was pulled by his daughter-in-law, and he was silent after all.
Xu Chunting was chilled all over his body, looked at Old Man Lou and then at his eldest brother, and finally fell on Lou Chengzu, and then looked at Lou Wen. "What does Da Lang mean?"
Lou Wen naturally didn't want to โกโก such a thing. "It's all up to Daddy."
One sentence pushed the responsibility cleanly, Mingli let Xu Chunting be the master, but in this matter, in the case of not helping each other, he really helped Lou Chengzu, hearing this, Xu Chunting's face was clean and clean, and he shook his lips and laughed angrily: "Okay, let me be the master, good!" Then let's do it, let it be, as long as you don't regret it! โ
Lou Chengzu didn't reassure him about this cruel remark, and lifted his lips to show smugness.
Tang Lian smiled and went to solve the problem, the old man Lou sent away the Xu family, and went into the house to prepare to rest, and the villa Cheng Li stood up, and said with a calm face: "Dad has always said that the money in the public middle school should be calculated fairly, where did the money come from for the eldest brother to raise an outer room in the town?" We didn't split up, and it didn't make sense that the money I earned at home was given to my eldest brother to support the outer room. โ
The old man Lou, who had originally extinguished his anger, was furious when he heard the words. "It's only fair that you also have an outer room?!"
"I didn't say that I wanted to raise an outer room," Lou Chengli pursed his lips: "I just think it's unfair to our second room." โ
Lou Chengyi, who has been silent, was dumbfounded, it was unfair to the second room, but what about the third room? Before they were separated, they earned the most in the three rooms, but they used the least, and the money was posted in the big house to study in the past, but it was not said that it could be pasted to the outer room.
"And what do you want?"
"Big brother has been raising the outer room for four or five years, right? Even if the expenses in the town are saved, it will cost two or three taels of silver for a month, thirty taels for a year, and one hundred and fifty taels for five years. โ
Old Man Lou was extremely angry, and Lou Yuzhu pretended to be gloomy and said: "Second Uncle said so, this money should also have a share of our three rooms." The funny thing is that my father changed his household registration and gave ten taels of silver, which is like eating meat with skin, and he said no if he took twenty taels to save two lives, heh, it turned out that in my grandfather's heart, the lives of my father and the fourth child were not worth the cost of an uncle's outer room for a year. The last fig leaf of the old mansion was uncovered, and Lou Yuzhu picked up Lou Chengyi, who was becoming more and more gloomy, and left.
Old Man Lou trembled his lips and couldn't speak.
