Half a year later, Lou Chen married Mu Shu, the grandson of Mu Lao's grandson, and at the same time became the head of the Hanlin Academy, inheriting the seven-rank petty official; In the same year, Lou Hua was transferred to Beijing and lived in Beijing for a long time; Lou Ming and Wei Qi take care of their parents in Yanjia Village; In the same year, Lou Yuzhu gave birth to a white fat boy again, named Zhou Rui. Lou Yuzhu, who was originally determined not to give birth again, was unfortunately recruited again, and gave birth to a boy again after he was five and a half years old, named Zhou An.

In May of the same year, the old man Lou died, Liu Ah had a stroke, Lou Chengli and Lou Chengyi buried the old man Lou, and asked Liu Ah if he wanted to live with them and asked someone to take care of him. Because Liu Ah Mo had a strange temperament and was difficult to serve, the person who took care of him changed three times before it was decided when Lou Chengyi raised the monthly money to the high price of five taels of silver a month. Liu Ah was not satisfied, and forced Lou Chengyi to pay him twenty taels a month.

Lou Chengyi responded, and Lou Chengli was responsible for the daily expenses of some firewood, rice, oil and salt. As for Dafang Tang Lianxiao and his mentally imperfect son, the two brothers selectively ignored them.

After Liu Amam died five years later, the two brothers buried their scenery as usual, and sorted out more than 1,500 taels of silver from Liu Am's relics, Lou Chengli scolded the red-eyed Ji Xiaorong back, and then discussed with Lou Chengyi and handed the money to Tang Lianxiao. The condition is to raise his son to adulthood, so that he can marry him, and inherit the heirs of the big house incense to pass on the bloodline of the family heirs.

Tang Lianxiao accepted the money, but she didn't dare to play tricks to take care of her son wholeheartedly, and only waited until her son became an adult so that she could marry her own son and inherit the heir.

As soon as the old man Lou and Liu Ah went away, this Lou family was a serious sect.

In the same year, Zhou Cheng led a family of eight to move to Beijing, accompanied by Lou Chengyi and his wife, who were persuaded by Lou Yuzhu to live for a while. Lou Ming and Wei Qi's family guarded the house.

Lou Hua, who personally greeted him at the gate of Shangjing, welcomed Yigan to his home, and Liang Zhao and others greeted Lou Chengyi and his wife with red eyes at the door.

Fu Linshu hurriedly pulled him and patted his hand to show his size.

Lou Yuzhu leaned in and quipped: "Brother Zhao is more and more of an official husband." ”

Liang Zhaoheng him: "Brother Yu is the father of six children, why is this mouth still so unforgiving?" ”

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows at him.

When the party entered the house, Lou Chengyi and his wife were invited to the first seat by Lou Hua, and Lou Hua led a few members of the family to greet the husband and wife. Lou's family, Sun Linyun, had already married the year before last, and led her husband Ji Lan and held her eldest son Lou Junyu, who was only 11 months old, to give a gift to his grandfather.

Lou Chengyi's husband and wife both had bright eyes, and they were busy hugging their little great-grandson and then teased. Xiao Buding Lou Junyu is not afraid of life, and his round eyes look straight at the two of them, and now the two husbands and wives like it more and more.

Lou Yuzhu coughed lightly, and Fu Linshu came back to his senses and hurriedly gave a gift. Ji Lan is also the first time to see it, and it is the eldest grandson, so he naturally can't be treated lightly, Lou Junyu is the eldest great-grandson, and he is the boss of the fourth generation, so he can't ignore it.

Fu Linshu immediately beckoned Ji Lan to come over and handed over a set of jade ornaments, and said, "Ah Mo doesn't have anything to give, I don't mind." ”

Ji Lan looked at the color of the jade ornament and knew that it was worth a lot, and secretly looked at Liang Zhao and saw that he nodded, so he thanked him and accepted the gift.

Lou Chengyi hugged Duan Yujun with a smile, turned his hand and put a piece of mutton fat jade on the little guy's neck, and said in his mouth: "May my great-grandson be safe and happy in his life, and live a long and healthy life!" ”

Sheep fat jade is precious, but the rich and noble people can always collect one piece or two, Lin Yun was shocked, and he was shocked, and he still accepted this gift, but when he looked back, he saw the four words "palace imperial system" on it, and immediately felt that his scalp was numb. But after receiving all the gifts, he didn't return the gifts, so he had to stare at the jade match on his son's neck, for fear that his ignorant son would bite it in his mouth.

Lou Yuzhu also saw Ji Lan for the first time, and gave a set of beaded gold jewelry, and Xiaodouding Lou Junyu gave a set of exquisite glass cups.

Ji Lan and Lin Yun were too busy to bear it, and then it was his turn to give a meeting gift to the six brothers of Zhou Yi, the gift was not expensive but exquisite, and it was according to the preferences of the six brothers, so it can be seen that it took a lot of thought.

After seeing the family and talking warmly, the wing Louchen led the family into the door. Mu Shu added two sons to Lou Chen, one was four years old and one was two years old, and now she is pregnant with another one in her belly, it has been three months, and the whole family is looking forward to this being a brother, because the entire Lou family, including Lou Yuzhu, who married outside, only has two brothers. One is Lou Ming's first child, Lou Xueer, who got married in January this year; The other is the fourth son born to Liang Zhaolai after coming to Beijing, Lou Chengcheng, who is a six-year-old child.

As soon as she entered the door, Mu Shuyi went to Fu Linshu and complained: "Daddy, you have to take care of Lou Chen, he saw the sky in my ear and said that he wanted to give birth to a brother and give birth to a brother, and my ears were calloused!" ”

Fu Lin Shule was happy: "I can't control the fourth child, you have to find him Brother Yu." ”

Mu Shu squeezed Zhou Chengyi away from kindness and went to Lou Yuzhu's side: "Brother Yu, you have to take care of it!" ”

Lou Yuzhu pretended to sigh: "Alas, the fourth child has hard wings now, and I can't control him." ”

The distracted and silent look made the family laugh, and Mu Shu couldn't help but be happy.

The family had a reunion dinner, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu refused Lou Hua's kindness to stay overnight, and led the six boys back to the house that Zhou Cheng had already made in Shangjing. Dropping a sentence of self-assignment, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu went to the main house to rest.

The six brothers with a look of 'knowing this', you look at me, I look at you, so they held hands in twos and threes to find their own yard. In the end, the eldest Zhou Yi led the sixth to live in the east courtyard, the second Zhou Yu and the fifth Zhou Rui lived in the west courtyard, the third and fourth Kirin twins lived in the middle courtyard, and there was still one courtyard left but no one lived.

The next day, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng got up early, and the six brothers lined up to greet the two of them.

"To Daddy, please say hello to Daddy." The tone of the full stop is the calm and sophisticated boss, who is fourteen years old this year.

"To Daddy, please say hello to Daddy." The gentle and elegant face that makes people feel like a spring breeze is the second Zhou Yu, who is twelve years old this year.

"To Dad, please say hello to Daddy~~" The two voices stacked together and with wavy endings are the twins, the third and the fourth, who are still two months away from being ten years old.

"To Daddy, please say hello to Daddy." The one with a cold face in a light tone was Lao Wuzhourui, who was seven and a half years old this year.

"To Daddy, please Daddy!" The voice is childish and the expression is also quite childish is the old Liuzhou An, who is six years old this year.

Zhou Cheng nodded and let him sit.

The obedient appearance of the six boys made Lou Yuzhu look at the sore teeth, who knows about family affairs, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps!

The boss is calm, but the idea is right; The second child is gentle, but he has the most ghost ideas, and he is a smiling tiger; The third and fourth are naïve, but if you think that they have developed four feet and are simple-minded, then you will lose; Lao Wumian is cold and cold-hearted, and he doesn't see a few smiling faces all year round; The sixth child has a childish voice, and his appearance is the most similar to Lou Yuzhu among the six brothers, but the other party doesn't know how many good things he has learned from the five brothers above and Zhou Cheng because of this! Not to mention Lou Chengyi's husband and wife, Lou Hua, Lou Ming and Lou Chen, he is the richest among the six brothers! The boss can't compare!

On the Ruoda long table, which is polished in half with a huge mahogany, Zhou Cheng sits on the main seat, Lou Yuzhu sits on his right hand, and then the six brothers sit on the left hand side in order.

The servants clearly sent breakfast to everyone's taste, and Lou Yuzhu was congested when she saw the six different breakfasts opposite. The eldest and second are required to be delicate and healthy, and they will not be the same for at least ten days; The third and fourth ask for delicious food and portions, and it is no problem to repeat one or two points every day; The fifth child is to be delicate, healthy and weighty, and the strange thing is that it is not a problem to be the same for two or three days; The sixth child didn't ask for anything, because if he wasn't satisfied, he would fill the table with plates and ask for a meal. Just like today, I asked for two crab roe xiaolongbao from his Lao Tzu with a plate, then a small bowl of green vegetable porridge from the boss, and then scooped three bean paste dumplings from the fifth bowl, and drank two sips of juice from the second child's cup at the end. The third and fourth children, who were afraid that he would not be able to eat enough, planned to divide him with a few bites of meat and pancakes, but they were refused.

Whenever this happens, Lou Yuzhu can't wait to stuff the six fucking sons back into her stomach and make them back! This is also the main reason why he gave birth to so many sons and insisted on having a brother!

Seeing that the black aura in Lou Yuzhu's eyes was about to explode again, Zhou Cheng was busy giving the second Zhou Yu a look.

Zhou Yu, who was complaining in his heart, smiled mildly and appropriately, and asked, "Daddy said that he was going to visit Second Uncle Pei today?" ”

Lou Yuzhu said: "Yes." So the old rules, the fifth looks at the sixth, the fourth looks at the fifth, the third looks at the fourth, the second looks at the third, and the eldest looks at the second. ”

People who don't understand reason may be dizzy when they hear it, but the simplification of the rules is to look at the big and the small, and so on.

Zhou Yi, who had long been upgraded from being watched to watching, nodded: "Daddy, don't worry, I will be optimistic about my younger brothers." ”

Lou Yuzhu rubbed her forehead: "I hope so." After saying that, he waved his hand, and said angrily: "After eating, go change your clothes, and we'll go out!" Seeing that the six brothers got up and went to change their clothes hand in hand, Lou Yuzhu, who couldn't help it, glared at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng, who was angered at this time, was already accustomed to Lou Yuzhu's angry eyes, so he changed the topic and said: "Fourteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if Guan Ying still remembers us." ”

Lou Yuzhu was not angry with him: "Won't you know when you see you later?" ”

Zhou Cheng, who was choked, was not annoyed, and went to the inner room to pick out clothes for Lou Yuzhu to go out.

A short time later, a family of eight gathered at the gate. The eldest and the second rode a horse, the third and fourth also made a fuss about riding a horse, but Lou Yuzhu immediately recognized it and obediently climbed into the carriage, Zhou Cheng hugged the sixth child, and the fifth child stepped on it himself, and when Lou Yuzhu also got into the carriage and sat firmly, Zhou Cheng turned over and got on the horse, followed by seven or eight slaves and a carriage with gifts.

The steward of the Hou Mansion who had received the news politely welcomed everyone in, Pei Sheng's Jun Fulang was no stranger to his son's personal servant Zhou Cheng, although it was the first time he had seen Lou Yuzhu, but there were rumors about him that he had really heard a lot. Some are from the mouth of his husband Pei Sheng, sometimes from Pei Guanying's mouth, and sometimes from the Hu steward, all of them are praised. Sometimes he wonders if there is such a beautiful person in this world? But when I saw it now, I was really convinced.

"Mo Dao is boasting, I don't want to be an immortal!"

The relatives of the Hou Mansion all boasted that it was, but it was not a hypocrisy, Lou Yuzhu was indeed well maintained. After giving birth to six sons, his body shape has not changed much, but his face in his early thirties has not even a trace of wrinkles, as if time has stopped in him.

Zhu smiled, the landlord who was not at ease with such praise, and greeted the elders and the juniors, and received the gifts from the juniors. Among them, Pei Guanying's Jun Fulang's face was stiff, Lou Yuzhu said hello when she saw the courtesy, and she didn't care anymore after the number of courtesies.

After that, the six brothers stepped forward to salute, and Zhou Yi acted as an old man, and every move was the eldest son's posture; The second child is responsible for a smile on his face, which makes people feel like a spring breeze; The third and fourth are responsible for amusement; The fifth child is responsible for being a cold-faced jade boy; The sixth child is responsible for selling well. The six brothers are all good-looking, and there is always one of the six in a row that can poke the cute point!

As a result, the brothers received six gifts softly! It's quite a style of taking back all the gifts that were given out today.

Not long after, Pei Sheng and Pei Guanying came back.

Lou Yuzhu got up, took two steps and bent his knees and said, "I've seen Master Hou." I've seen the second brother. Next to him, Zhou Cheng led the six brothers to shout with their hands.

The two raised their hands to signal that they would not be courteous. Pei Sheng looked at the Yuzhu in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I looked at it from afar, and I said which young junior came to the door." ”

Pei Guanying's eyes turned around on Lou Yuzhu's face, looked at Zhou Cheng, and joked: "Should I call Zhou Ye?" ”

Zhou Cheng begged for mercy and waved his hands and said, "Guanying, don't make fun of me." ”

Pei Guanying laughed, hooked Zhou Cheng's neck and said, "Let's go, our brother won't get drunk today!" ”

With this laughter, the strangeness caused by too much time immediately disappeared, leaving only a trace of nostalgia for the time that had not been seen for a long time, a trace of melancholy and a trace of sigh.

The two brothers went to drink with their shoulders hooked, and Pei Sheng chatted with Lou Yuzhu here.

"The emperor knows that your father and them are going to Beijing, and it is estimated that there will be a decree in the next few days, and an order may be issued to let them enter the palace at that time." The meritorious Lou family has a reputation, but the foundation is still shallow, so it is not surprising that Pei Sheng can get the news one step earlier than Lou Chen.

The first emperor died and the reputation was benevolent and righteous, and the new emperor had only been on the throne for four years. "What do you need to prepare?"

Pei Sheng knew Lou Chengyi, and said with a smile: "You don't need to prepare anything, just let Lou Chen follow when the time comes, say it as usual, and tell the truth." ”

Lou Yuzhu's heart moved. Pei Sheng is the former emperor's confidant and old minister, and then Pei Guanying is the new emperor or the prince's companion, others can't touch the pulse they can always find one, two or two, look at the meaning of the new emperor is pragmatic? If it's a pragmatic one, I'm afraid it's a playful surface with a set of backs. "Thank you Lord Hou for reminding me."

Pei Sheng's eyes flashed with meaning, and then he interjected the topic and asked some homely questions.

Lou Yuzhu answered in an interesting and playful way, and it was the turn of several children to have a headache: "The boss has already made a name for himself, and his brother-in-law has already established a good relationship and is ready to let him enter Taixue Academy." The second child is preparing to take the exam next year, which means that he will study at home. The third and fourth begged his uncle and planned to go to martial arts to have a look. The fifth and sixth are still young, and Mu Lao said that he was getting two places to enter the Mu family's school. ”

Pei Sheng was stunned, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I want to help, I'm afraid I can't help." ”

Lou Chen was registered with the Son of Heaven as early as Mu Lao's closed disciples, and with him to take care of them, Zhou Yi and Zhou Yu don't have to worry about being jealous, and there is also the reputation of the meritorious Lou family, and the two brothers plan to save up their strength to shine in their careers. Lou Yuzhu is distressed that the third and fourth children have no intention of doing business, the cold face of the fifth child is enough, and the sixth child is still young, although it is a little unfounded, but he is really worried that none of the six sons is willing to inherit the business empire of the Zhou family.

It turns out that Lou Yuzhu is indeed not worried in vain. In the following year, the eldest Zhou Yi won the top prize in the examination, breaking the myth of Lou Chen's smallest champion; The second Zhou Yuzhong Xiucai ranked first. When the Son of Heaven heard the news of Le's direct shooting of the emperor's case, he immediately gave Zhou Yi the official position of the seventh grade, and turned his head and gave Changle Bozhu's brother as his husband, of course, it will take at least a year to prepare for the marriage.

Lou Yuzhu was happy when his son was given an official position, but he was stunned when he heard about the marriage. Fortunately, the new emperor is quite reliable, although the Changle Bofu is a relative of the emperor, but the family style is pure, the brother is also a good brother who is knowledgeable, reasonable, good-looking, and talented, and Zhou Yi, who secretly went to see it once, is quite satisfied, and the marriage is scheduled for the second day of May of the following year.

Changle Bofu is the same clan as the emperor's relatives and the Son of Heaven, and it is a marriage, so this marriage cannot be trivialized. Fortunately, there is a year to prepare.
