The friendship between Sanfang and Pei Guanying is different from the past, and the porter immediately opened the door to let him in, and someone else quickly went in and spread the word. When the group entered the flower hall, Pei Guanying and Zhou Cheng had already arrived.

After seeing the ceremony, Lou Yuzhu pointed at Lou Ming and said, "This is my second brother Lou Ming." ”

Lou Ming hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "I've seen Young Master Pei." ”

Pei Guanying looked at Lou Ming, and then waved his hand: "We are all peers, so we don't need to be so polite." Have a seat. Serve tea. ”

A plainly dressed slave brother served hot tea, and Lou Yuzhu thanked him.

Lou Chengyi sat restrained, Lou Hua didn't know how to speak, Lou Ming quietly looked at the decoration in the room, but it was a brother who always behaved generously and talked and laughed freely. Pei Guanying looked at it in his eyes, and a trace of interest flashed in his heart.

Lou Yuzhu was not dumbfounded, and said straightly: "We are here today to invite the young master, Steward Hu and Brother Zhou to our house tomorrow. Seeing Pei Guanying groaning, he said with a smile: "I should have invited it a long time ago, but I was afraid that I would have wronged the young master by renting a grass hut and having nowhere to stay, but now the new house has become not as delicate and elegant as here, but I still want to invite the young master to go once, let us do our best to thank the young master for his great kindness." ”

In the past few months, every ten or so Tianlou Yuzhu will come to the door to deliver something, sometimes it is a big red crayfish, and sometimes it is also a gift of eels caught with the big red crayfish. Of course, most of them put things out the back door and left, and they didn't even meet each other, but they didn't accept money when they sent things more often, and Pei Guanying felt that this family was interesting, so he increased the number of meetings.

Seeing Pei Guanying's hesitation, Zhou Cheng persuaded: "It's been a few months since I came to Huya Town, and the young master hasn't gone out much, so why don't you take this opportunity to go out and play, and you should be relaxed." ”

Steward Hu also persuaded: "What Zhou Cheng said is right, seeing that it is about to enter winter, and when the temperature turns cooler, even if the young master wants to go out for a walk, I am afraid that he will have nowhere to go." ”

Lou Yuzhu smiled and waited for Pei Guanying to make a decision.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Guanying nodded and said reservedly: "Then tomorrow will be bothering." ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and Lou Yuzhu was still relieved. can make Pei Guanying relieved, it can be seen that the efforts of several months have not been in vain. "It is our honor that the young master can set foot in the cold house." Lou Yuzhu got up as she spoke: "Then we won't bother today." Tomorrow, I asked my father to greet the young master at the entrance of the village. ”

Pei Guanying got up and shook his head: "There is no need for this, Zhou Cheng knows that we will go to the road by ourselves, and it is too heavy and polite to make us embarrassed to come to the door." ”

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Then listen to the young master." ”

"That's how it should be."

Pei Guanying stopped in the flower hall, and Zhou Cheng sent the party out. I returned all the way to Lou Yuzhu's attention, and then I turned around and began to prepare for going out. Steward Hu also began to arrange the things at hand, and after finishing sleeping, he slept until dawn, and after breakfast, he sat in the carriage with Pei Guanying, and Zhou Cheng drove to Yanjia Village.

It was only a short time after arriving at Yanjia Village, Lou Chengyi saw from afar that he hurriedly stepped forward to lead Ma Anzhi to the carriage, and Lou Hua welcomed the three of them into the house.

Everyone went to the main hall and sat down, and Lou Yuzhu led Fu Linshu forward to salute. "Daddy, this is Young Master Pei."

Fu Linshu wanted to thank him, but Pei Guanying hurriedly stepped aside: "Uncle Fu doesn't need to be so polite." The events of the day were just a gesture, and there was really no need to worry about the teachers. Besides, today we came to the door to disturb us, if we were so juniors, we wouldn't dare to come to the door. ”

Lou Yuzhu stepped forward to help Fu Linshu: "Since the young master said so, then we will listen to the young master." The kindness was remembered in my heart, and I said more about the obvious life. ”

"Brother Yu is right, it's best to treat me as an ordinary junior."

The group sat and gossiped, Fu Linshu went to the kitchen to eat at lunch, Lou Chengyi accompanied the Hu steward to gossip, Lou Yuzhu instructed Lou Hua and Lou Ming to lead Pei Guanying and Zhou Cheng to the study, but he went into the kitchen to help Fu Linshu with lunch. It's just that Lou Chengyi was brought to help by the Hu steward, and Lou Chengyi saw that the Hu steward who didn't help him was happy and didn't let anyone accompany him, so he went to the study. As soon as I entered the study, I didn't support my forehead, Lou Hua Lou Ming led people to talk about books seriously, fortunately, people are well cultivated, and they are not annoyed and accompany them.

"I don't have any free time, so why do you spend so much time studying?" Lou Yuzhu sighed secretly in his heart, fortunately, he came over to take a look, otherwise the little friendship that was hard to cultivate would be back to the freezing point again. "Second brother, go and bring the checkers, and let the young master see the chess skills of our Zhuang family."

Lou Ming hurriedly took a wooden checker board, polished with various colors of stones, and the beads made of wood were not as beautiful as modern glass marbles, but they were very cute to look at.

"This is the chess game played by our villagers, the rules are simple and don't take a brain, and we guarantee that the young master will learn it as soon as he learns it." Lou Yuzhu put on the chess pieces and said the rules.

Pei Guanying felt that it was indeed simple when he heard it, and immediately pulled Zhou Cheng to play with him. It was only at the beginning that I realized that it was not easy to play with seemingly simple rules, especially after increasing the difficulty of not rolling but jumping. There are more chess pieces and you can't jump away, and if there are fewer chess pieces, there is no place to jump, and the sad thing is that if you don't count the chess pieces and leave one outside, you have to take several steps back to catch the last one. This happened several times, and the scenes that were supposed to win were lost in the end.

"It's not easy." Encountering this abrasive situation again, Pei Guanying not only shook his head.

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "It's easier than Go and military chess." ”

After playing a few games of chess, a few half-grown children, who were not much different in age, began to let down their guard and play. After lunch at the same table, several half-grown children can talk easily. As soon as Lou Ming let go of the heartlessness, he even pulled someone to introduce the two little milk dogs to Pei Guanying and Zhou Cheng, and Lou Yuzhu on the side covered her face silently. Shame on you!

I don't want Lou Ming to be crooked, because Pei Guanying really hasn't seen this kind of little milk dog, at least the milk dog of this breed has never been seen during the period.

Looking at the little short-legged moist eyes and then at the short tail that kept wagging around, Pei Guanying squatted down and touched it with a cute expression, and discussed it with Lou Ming in a matter-of-fact manner. "What a few months", "Weaning", "What to eat", "A few brothers", etc., Lou Yuzhu is about to kneel, and he said in his heart, Young Master, if your painting style is wrong! But that's just the beginning!

After that, Lou Ming led people to play with other friends in the village! Go to the straw stalk pile and look for the mice, and then chase the rats all over the ground with the tied grass one by one! After making a mess in other people's fields, he carried a wooden bucket and a hoe to dig loach and eels. At first, the other children in the village were still a little afraid of Pei Guanying and Zhou Cheng, after all, the two of them were dressed up and the difference between them and the villagers, but later they didn't care anymore, they still stuck in the mud, what kind of silk and what brocade shoes, can you eat them?

This time, the painting style changed too fast, so that Lou Yuzhu was messy in the wind. Well, the world of the bear child is really not understood by him, a person who is always old!

played until dark and played with mud, and the eel loach or something dug was not enough for Pei Guanying's shoes.

Steward Hu was so angry that he smiled, and followed Sanfang to persuade Pei Guanying to stay for one night.

On the second day, Lou Ming continued to take the lead and pulled Pei Guanying to run wildly in the village. Climbing the tree to dig out the bird's eggs is not counted, but also digging an earthen stove on the spot to cook and eat with a bamboo tube, a few bird's eggs are not happy to eat, a few big children in the village bear habit found a hole while lighting wet firewood and poured cigarettes into it, saying that it was to catch a rabbit and roast and eat. The rabbit didn't see the shadow and almost burned the mountain, and the Lou Yuzhu called a worry and lost his guts! It's good to say that he persuaded the group to go down the mountain, grabbed a lot of food, and used a few modern games to coax people.

Lou Yuzhu wiped her sweat in fright, and then looked at the smiling caregiver who was like no one, I really want to vomit Do you remember your duties?

In fact, Lou Yuzhu didn't know that Pei Guanying hadn't been so happy for several months, as long as Manager Hu was concerned, as long as he could make the little master happy and let out the depression in his heart, not to mention running crazy with a group of peasant children all over the mountains and fields, even if he rolled up his sleeves and fought in a group, he could smile without changing his face, and he would offer a generous medical fee!

Therefore, those who pick and watch children should really be cautious, I wonder if Master Pei, who is far away in Kyoto, will regret sending his eldest son who looks like a mud monkey and sends a Hu steward who is known for his wide and harmonious notes instead of another autumn steward who is known for being strict and strict.

When it was dark, a group of friends dispersed, Lou Hua led people to bathe and change clothes to wash off sweat stains, and after finishing the hot pot-based dinner, it was also ready.

"Is this a boiling pot?" Pei Guanying looked at it curiously. "How is this pot different from ordinary people's?"

Lou Yuzhu smiled, of course it was different. When he hit the table and set of furniture, he thought about eating hot pot, and deliberately left a movable board in the middle of the table, and when he wanted to eat hot pot, he took away the movable board and put a special charcoal stove below, and the iron pot on both sides was separated on the upper shelf, which was convenient and clean, and did not need to add charcoal from above like a traditional boiler.

"I call it Mandarin Duck Hot Pot, which is spicy and not spicy." Lou Yuzhu let people into the table, pointing to the sauces lined up for her own addition. "Add whatever you eat." Saying that, he first demonstrated and added some spices.

While the others were trying to add seasoning, Lou Yuzhu took the chopsticks and swept the pork belly cut into thin slices lined up on a porcelain plate into the pot, as well as a small plate of radish, which was not spicy and half like spicy. The boiling broth boiled the food vigorously, and a distinctive aroma of meat spread.

Lou Ming swallowed his saliva, staring at Lou Yuzhu eagerly with his eyes, waiting for him to give an order.

The tumbling slices of meat changed color, Lou Yuzhu used a colander and nodded: "You can eat it." ”

Lou Ming wanted to be the first to eat, but Lou Hua pulled down and motioned for the guests to taste first. Pei Guanying, who had been acquainted with each other for two days, was not polite, and immediately sandwiched a piece of pork belly for himself, dipped it in sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.

The happiness of the mouthful of meat, coupled with the taste of the sauce, Pei Guanying, who was beautiful at the moment, raised his fingers: "It's delicious!" ”

A pot of meat was quickly fished out, and Lou Yuzhu hurriedly put down another pot, so she took the time to take a bite. I have to say that Fu Linshu perfectly understands the kind of realm he said should be just the right thickness and not too long and not too short, and the pork belly should be the best, not tendon and skin, and the combination of fat and lean meat must be in the perfect ratio of three to one. After eating, Lou Yuzhu said regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't get mutton in a hurry today, if there is mutton, the taste will be better." ”

"The smell of this hot pot under the mutton will be too heavy." Pei Guanying frowned, and said, "The beef may be better." "Cattle are scarce and they are important animals that can't be slaughtered, ordinary people may not be able to eat beef for the rest of their lives, but Pei Guanying is not an ordinary person, let alone a meal of beef, even if you want to eat beef for a meal, someone will dig out your heart and send it.

"The young master doesn't know, although the mutton taste is heavy, the meat quality is the most tender and smooth, the tenderness of the mutton with a roll of broth is perfectly preserved, and the faint taste in the mouth will make people feel that it has a different taste, which is not found in other meats. Besides, mutton is the best warm and nourishing ingredient, and it is not beautiful to put such a pot on the cold winter wax moon, which is warm and delicious and replenishes the body? ”

Pei Guanying was skeptical, but Zhou Cheng listened thoughtfully.

After eating a hot hot pot, a table of people, including Fu Linshu, ate a little supportively.

After eating, Yuzhu brought mahjong polished with marble, and one person sat on each side of the square table. Originally, Lou Hua, Lou Yuzhu and Pei Guanying played with Zhou Cheng, but later Manager Hu found it interesting to change Lou Hua's position and rubbed it with great interest. If you don't gamble money, you bet on stickers, and within half an hour, Steward Hu's face was full of notes! Lou Yuzhu couldn't look at it, so she asked Lou Hua to be a military advisor to manage Hu, which improved.

In the end, only Lou Yuzhu's face was clean, and the other three had more or less pasted on their faces. Fu Linshu, who was watching from the side, was busy giving his brother a look and asking him to put some water.

Lou Yuzhu smiled at her father, and said jokingly: "Daddy gives me more eyes, I won't release water, the so-called no father and son on the card table, although we are not playing money, but how can this entertainment spirit not be lost." ”

Fu Lin is angry.

Pei Guanying smiled at Fu Linshu and said that it was okay, but his eyes winked at Hu Guanshi, and then at Zhou Cheng.

Lou Yuzhu pretended not to see it, but secretly she was interested. Touch a good card on the pinch, turn not hesitate to dismantle the card to throw a stinky card out, with their own not Hu but also pull others not Hu.

After two stinky games in a row, Pei Guanying saw Lou Yuzhu's goal clearly, and looked at him helplessly: "Isn't it just a game card?" Brother Yu'er is so competitive? ”

Lou Yuzhu grinned at him: "Hehe! ”

Pei Guanying felt an inexplicable pain in her knees.
