Chapter 57: Lou Chenglan

A big living person just disappeared? Thinking about Lou Yuzhu, she was a little unwilling.

Li Shang's distant relatives are among the best families in Yangliu Town, and the little guy who sent them to help them inquire about the news is indeed a capable person, looking at Lou Yuzhu's unwilling expression, he immediately approached and whispered: "It is impossible for this good living person to disappear, but I don't know how much money this young brother Lou is willing to spend to inquire about this person's news?" ”

"How?"

The little guy smiled and said: "The so-called dragon has a dragon road, and a rat has a mouse road, but this mouse road costs some money." ”

"You mean the underworld?" Lou Yuzhu narrowed her eyes: "We can't stay in Yangliu Town for a long time, if we go to the underworld, there will be news for a few days at most?" ”

The little guy choked, I really couldn't imagine that a little brother was sharper than him when he talked about this. "Three days faster, five days slow. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I always ask the young brother for a charter! ”

Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips and thought about it, and said slightly: "Yes." "I took out two hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the little guy." Is it enough? ”

The little guy looked at the silver ticket and immediately straightened his eyes, he looked at the dress of Lou Yuzhu and his party, and originally thought that it would be good to be willing to spend twenty or thirty taels, but he didn't want to make a move to be two hundred taels. was frightened at the moment, thinking that Lou Yuzhu and his party were children of a family who traveled in microservices. "Enough is enough, not so much!"

"It's okay, count your reward as much as possible. I just want a message. ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Lou, just wait!"

Not to mention how the little guy walked the rat road, Lou Yuzhu persuaded the group to wait for a few days in Yangliu Town, and the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally came the news on the fourth day. No matter how the news came from, Lou Yuzhu asked the servant to set up a carriage and drive to Naweijia Village, Pei Guanying was not at ease and naturally went with him, and the master of the little house was also uneasy when he heard that they were going to Weijia Village, and sent several sturdy nurses and a steward to escort them all the way. It was a simple search for relatives that turned into a mighty group of people going to Weijia Village.

Lou Yuzhu knew that she couldn't prevaricate, and for the sake of safety, she didn't refuse, and only let the little guy get into the carriage and tell everyone about the news.

The little guy got into the carriage and respectfully told the news he had heard. "Back then, Lou Chenglan was secretly released by Zhu Jiazhengjun and left Yangliu Town overnight, and was rescued by a soldier in Weijia Village all the way to the east."

"Soldiers?" Lou Yuzhu frowned.

"Weijia Village has been a gathering place for households since its ancestors, and although it has improved, more than half of it is still registered as soldiers. After that, the soldier married Lou Chenglan, and soon gave birth to a boy, and then gave birth to a boy and a brother respectively for more than ten years. ”

"How have you been in the past ten years?"

Xiao Wu hesitated and said: "If it is about living expenses, Brother Lou also knows that the Zhuang family is not so extravagant and wasteful, if it is anything else, it is still a good life." ”

"How?"

"The soldier's surname is Wei, and he is called Wei Laosi. There are three brothers, two brothers and two brothers, both parents are there, since he was a child, Wei's parents have been partial to his first few brothers, Wei Lao Si was forced by a family to take on the responsibility of a soldier before he became an adult, and he joined the army because he disfigured his appearance after returning from the army. Delayed until the age of twenty-five, Wei Laosi came out of the family, fortunately, he should have saved some money before, bought four acres of fertile land and spent money to build two earthen houses, and he never took care of his brothers and parents again. After that, Lou Chenglan was saved by mistake, and the two got married to live, and there was no brother to worry about without a father-in-law to serve, plus the tightness of the four guards of the old guard, it was also comfortable. ”

Comfort is comfort, but a brother marries in an unfamiliar place in life, and there is no family to help support him, although he is loved by his husband, he will always suffer some losses in terms of communication.

"Also," the little guy thought about it for a while but gritted his teeth and said: "Lou Chenglan's face is ruined, I think I should be afraid that the Zhu family will come to the door to ruin his face and prepare to deny it." ”

Brother has always liked his appearance, but Lou Chenglan would rather disfigure himself and stay in Weijia Village than go back to Yanjia Village to seek protection, which shows how desperate he was at that time, and the more Lou Yuzhu thought about it, the more he realized that there was a lot of hidden truth in the past!

The little guy said a little apologetically: "Most of the people in Weijia Village are soldiers, and the village style is strict, so I only heard about this in order not to startle the snake." ”

"That's enough, hard work."

As he spoke, the carriage drove into Weijia Village, and the group got off the carriage, and there were already small informants waiting there to nod and welcome the group into the village. It's just that the road to Wei Laosi's house is inconvenient to pass through the carriage, and the group had to get off the horse and walk away, and the villagers were stupid and poked their heads out one by one to look at this group of people curiously, and this look was surprised by Pei Guanying's bearing and the silk, and then looked at the brothers who looked good, and then looked at the sturdy man dressed in the courtyard, and was even more curious about the purpose of the group, so they put on heavy cotton clothes and drilled out of the house and hung far behind the line. When they arrived in front of Wei Laosi's house, most of the villagers followed, and the number was still increasing, and there was a momentum of gathering the number of people in the entire village.

Wei Laosi heard the movement and looked at the situation outside from the window, told the people in the house to hide, and pulled out a wooden stick with a thick arm. Sixteen-year-old Wei Qian also touched a stick and followed.

The nursing home that came with him immediately surrounded Pei Guanying and the others in the middle, and stared cautiously at Wei Laosi and his son.

Lou Yuzhu couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a smile: "In front of you, Lou Chenglan's husband, our uncle?" ”

Originally, I thought that Wei Laosi could let down his guard when he heard their name, but he didn't want Wei Laosi not only not to let down his vigilance, but to become more and more vigilant, tightened the wooden stick in his hand, and said angrily: "There is no one you are looking for here, please leave." Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! ”

A few strong men got out of the crowd, twisted things in their hands and stood behind Wei Laosi, with a lot of momentum and a killing ring if they didn't agree with each other.

Several guards immediately tightened the circle.

Lou Yuzhu walked out of the guard circle with a smile, signaled Pei Guanying and his party to be restless, walked to the middle position, and bowed his knees with good manners and makeup: "We are from the third room of the Lou family in Yanjia Village, Huya Town, because we miss our relatives, we boldly come to the door, and if there is something offended, we will look at Haihan." Don't be nervous, I promise we have no ill will! ”

Li Zheng of Weijia Village hurried over when he heard the news, and just heard Lou Yuzhu's polite and thoughtful words, and asked in a deep voice: "The Wei family has never heard that they have their own family after marrying here for more than ten years, how can you be sure that the Wei family is the person you are looking for?" Even if it's the person you're looking for, why do you come to the door now after more than ten years of ignoring it? ”

"It's a long story. Back then, my Uncle Lan insisted on marrying and there was a lot of misunderstanding with the family, and it was not that I hadn't paid attention to Uncle Lan's news over the years, but Uncle Lan didn't leave any clues when he left, and I didn't know that Uncle Lan was here for more than ten years. This time, we passed through Yangliu Town and asked someone to inquire about the news in our hearts, but we thought it was useless again, and we didn't want the emperor to live up to the painstaking people, so we really inquired. ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng thought about it for a while, looked at Wei Laosi, and asked him about his intentions with his eyes.

Lou Yuzhu's words made Wei Laosi worry about it, for fear that the other party would reveal Lou Chenglan's true identity, and now when he heard the other party's words that were half true and false, it was obvious that Lou Chenglan was covering, and he was really a little unsure for a while.

"If you're not at ease, so be it. I went to see Uncle Lan alone, explained to Uncle Lan my intention, if Uncle Lan still didn't want to see us, we would leave immediately, and promised not to find Weijia Village again. How is it? ”

Wei Laosi thought about it, pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Lou Yuzhu motioned to the first class of guards behind him to be calm and calm, and tentatively walked towards Wei Lao and the fourth. When he got closer, he saw that Wei Laosi didn't stop him, and then he passed them into the house.

Because of the narrow windows in the house, the light that was not bright became more and more dim, and after blinking to get used to it, he saw that there was no one in the hall, and he saw the half-loaded toes exposed under the curtains in the inner room, and he didn't rush to see people, so he only said to the half-loaded toes: "It's Uncle Lan inside?" Seeing that the half-loaded toe retreated, Lou Yuzhu said again: "My name is Lou Yuzhu, and my father is Lou Chengyi." Don't hide it from Uncle Lan, we are looking for someone this time from our family, my father doesn't know, and my grandfather doesn't know about them. By the way, Uncle Lan probably doesn't know that our three rooms have been separated, and now we live alone. This time I was originally going to Nanyang City, passing through Yangliu Town, remembering that my father used the orchid purse that was worn out but still reluctant to lose it, and I inquired about Uncle Lan's news in a filial piety, so that my father could feel at ease. ”

After a while, a hesitant voice came from the back room: "You said your father broke up?" But your grandfather is not good? ”

"My grandfather and they are very good, but the matter of separating the family is difficult to explain." With a deep groan, Lou Yuzhu briefly said through the curtain why the family was separated, and finally said: "Brother Yu knows Uncle Lan's difficulties, but Uncle Lan should rest assured, Uncle Lan doesn't want them to know about the old house and my father, so we don't think we will show a word." As for the Zhu family, Uncle Lan, please rest assured, we will make sure that they don't dare to come to the door. My dad has always been worried about how you're doing, and even if my grandfather refuses to mention it for so many years, my dad still thinks about Uncle Lan. Doesn't Uncle Lan want to know about my father? ”

Lou Chenglan behind the curtain heard tears rippling early, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and ask, "How has your father been in the past few years?" Are you okay? ”

Xiao was Lou Yuzhu, who was already mentally prepared, but was still startled by the hideous scar on Lou Chenglan's face. The hideous scars extending from the corners of the eyebrows to the corners of the mouth completely destroyed the original delicate appearance. Fortunately, Lou Yuzhu held her breath, steadily caught Lou Chenglan's half-lifted curtain, and stepped into the door with a smile and said, "My father is very good, and now he is accompanying my father to welcome the birth of the little brother in his belly." ”

Lou Chenglan's eyes were suspicious: "Who is your father?" ”

"My father's surname is Fu, and his name is Lin Shu. He is the adoptive brother of a family in Zhangjia Village. Lou Yuzhu stepped into the door, looked at Lou Chenglan and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't tell this for a while, why don't Uncle Lan call the uncle outside in, let's talk about it?" ”

Lou Chenglan was stunned for a moment, then wiped her tears and nodded: "If you don't talk about it, I'll forget," said the first two children in the back, and said to the kid who grew up: "Wei Kun go and call your father and your eldest brother in, just say that there are guests at home." Seeing that the second son went to call someone, he said to the eleven-year-old brother: "Brother Huai'er go and raise two pots of charcoal, don't be cold to your uncle and cousin." ”

"Huh!" Ge Weihuai went to raise the charcoal fire.

There was Wei Kun reporting outside, Wei Laosi put down the wooden stick, sent away a few good friends and thanked Li Zheng, Lou Hua also thanked a few nursing homes who escorted them, including the little guy who inquired about the news, each of them sealed a red envelope and sent it away, and then he entered the inner room with Pei Guanying.

Lou Ming was naturally startled by the scar on Lou Chenglan's face, Lou Hua was calm, and pulled the startled Lou Ming forward to salute. "My nephew has seen Uncle Lan." He also saluted to the fourth Wei next to him and said, "I've seen my uncle." ”

Wei Lao Si replied angrily, left a sentence for you to talk and went out.

Lou Chenglan served the hot tea and said apologetically: "Don't pay attention to him, your uncle is this kind of character, and he can't hold back a sentence for a long time." ”

Pei Guanying saw that Lou Chenglan was quite kind, so he said hello to his brother and went back first. Of course, they didn't bring all of them back, leaving two strong servants to take care of them and a carriage.

Lou Hua went to see off Pei Guanying and his party, Lou Yuzhu drank hot tea while roasting the fire and chatted with Lou Chenglan about some of the Lou family's idle things. But before they could talk a few words, there was an argument outside the house. Listening to the voice was quite unfamiliar, it was so that he didn't move, Huang Ying lifted the curtain and went out, and came back after a while, and saluted Yuzhu at the building: "Back to the young brother, there is a family outside that says it is in-laws, and I want to meet and recognize people." ”

"In-laws?" Lou Yuzhu smiled.

Lou Chenglan was quite embarrassed and said: "That's the person from your uncle's old house, he doesn't have much contact with him on weekdays, and your uncle doesn't care about that side." Brother Yu didn't have to pay attention to them. ”

Lou Yuzhu had already guessed the past of Wei Laosi, but it was just a bloody plot where his parents didn't hurt his brother and didn't love him, and finally he rebelled and ignored his family. On weekdays, there is Wei Laosi to protect Lou Chenglan, and it is estimated that she will not be able to bear any grievances, but I am afraid that I will not listen to this gossip. Looking at their formation today, Baba came up to get some benefits? Oh, beautiful him!

"Xiaoying, you go to spread the word, just say that our family doesn't have relatives who recognize relatives indiscriminately, and if there is another indiscriminate relationship quarrel, I have a headache, don't be polite, call them all out!"

"Yes."

Huang Ying went to speak, and after a while, there was a commotion outside the door, but then it was quiet with a few cries of pain.

Lou Yuzhu turned her head and smiled apologetically at Lou Chenglan: "Uncle Lan won't blame me for making my own decisions, right?" ”

Lou Chenglan said with a smile: "It's nothing, there is not much communication in the first place." There were a few times in the years of marriage, and your uncle was impatient and made a few moves, and his face was torn a long time ago. ”

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu echoed: "You should do this to the shameless splasher, they don't dare to come to the door again, and the days will be quiet." ”

That being said, when Lou Hua came back after sending Pei Guanying back, Lou Yuzhu instructed him to go to Weijia Village to visit his family. His eyes blinked three times, meaning that his gift was more valuable, firstly, to thank Li Zheng for taking Lou Chenglan in, and secondly, to ask Li Zheng to continue to take care of him, of course, it also has the meaning of deterrence, put out a score to show the people of Weijia Village, Lou Chenglan is not without his own family, if there are no more broken mouths or bullies, but he has to weigh it carefully.

After chatting about Lou Chenglan's guilt, Lou Yuzhu pulled Wei Huai to chat, and after chatting, she found that Lou Chenglan should have lived well in the past ten years. Wei Laosi has a field, although not much, but one after another also made seven or eight acres, Hukou and weekdays are absolutely enough, although the house is an earthen house but when building with enough materials, shelter from the wind and rain is no problem, plus Wei Laosi was born in the army and has a lot of strength, do some odd jobs or go up the mountain to play some wild things on weekdays, and the life is quite easy. This can be seen from the faces of several people in the Wei family and Lou Chenglan's complexion.
