After the groundbreaking ceremony, Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and said to Lu Zhong: "The auspicious day for the foundation stone is set for the ninth hour of June, and I have explained the things that need to be prepared to the master stonemason, you can listen to his arrangement!" ”

Lu Zhong bowed and thanked him, and Mr. Zhou smiled: "Get busy!" ”

Lu Zhong said to Lu Shouzeng: "Dad, I'm busy, and the old gentleman will hand it over to you." ”

Lu Shouzeng nodded and waved his hand to let Lu Zhong go.

Mr. Zhou said: "There's nothing wrong with me here, you help me go to the Lu family's big house for a walk, I haven't seen Mrs. Lu for many years, and my distant niece hasn't seen me for many years, let's take a look while I still have the breath, hey, see it once less!" ”

Lu Shouzeng stepped forward to hold Mr. Zhou's hand, Mr. Zhou took two steps, and then turned back to Lu Xiaoyi and said, "I see this girl is a little interesting, come with me too!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was shocked, the secret way was broken, could it be that this person saw something? She was so weak that she pretended not to hear and turned around and went into the house.

Lu Shouzeng called out to her and urged her to come over, Lu Xiaoyi looked at Yulan and begged, "Mother, I don't want to go." ”

Yulan was already convinced of Mr. Feng Shui, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou has spoken, you can follow along!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi walked over slowly with a bitter face, standing on Mr. Zhou's side, without speaking or looking at him.

Mr. Zhou walked slowly, and the onlookers in the village also followed, just now his trick of spontaneous combustion of the rune paper, completely shocked the onlookers of the villagers, a few anxious people, stepped forward to Mr. Zhou bowed, and asked him to help see his own feng shui.

Mr. Zhou smiled but did not say anything. Walking all the way, I looked around, and when I passed by Zhang's house, I stopped to take a look, shook my head and muttered: "Back to Ya..."

The accompanying villagers didn't know what to do, and Mr. Zhou didn't explain, so they couldn't ask and guessed one after another, and followed them all the way to the outside of the Lu family's big house before they dispersed.

Because the big house has a private museum, the courtyard door is not bolted during the day, Lu Xiaoyi pushed the door while thinking about the meaning of Mr. Zhou's words just now, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old man." What do you mean by that? ”

Mr. Zhou asked her rhetorically: "What is the little girl's vigilance against me?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi froze. Pondering the old gentleman's words, it seemed that he was overly concerned, and the old gentleman did not see the abnormality of her soul at all, but was suspicious because of the vigilance she showed to be vigilant. Therefore, he called her to follow. I want to ask her to understand.

Lu Xiaoyi said respectfully: "The old gentleman's white hair, white beard and white eyebrows are very similar to the old fairy." I am so cowardly that I hid and secretly watched you, and I ask the old gentleman to forgive me for my disrespect. ”

Lu Shouzeng also smiled and cleared the siege, "My granddaughter has always been timid. Don't blame the old gentleman. ”

Mr. Zhou glanced at the green circle under Lu Xiaoyi's eyes, and took out a string of shiny wooden beads, "Cowardly people are easy to be frightened, I have raised this string of peach wood beads for many years, and I will send you to settle down." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took it gratefully and bowed to Mr. Zhou to thank him.

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and laughed, stood in the courtyard of the big house and looked around, and then moved his crutches up and down, and there was a muffled sound on the bluestone slab, and Mr. Zhou shouted loudly: "Old sister of the Lu family, I have come to see you!" Still alive? ”

Zhou Iron Hammer? Lu Xiaoyi was embarrassed, he didn't expect the fairy old gentleman to have such a down-to-earth name.

Mrs. Lu didn't come out, but Lu Fuzeng came out of the library on the side, recognized the person after some identification, and respectfully stepped forward to salute Mr. Zhou, "Uncle Zhou, I haven't seen you for many years, everything is fine!" ”

"Good, good! I'm dying! Mr. Zhou looked Lu Fuzeng up and down, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown old like this in your later life, and the aura of the year is gone!" ”

Lu Fuzeng arched his hand and said ashamedly: "After many years of hard reading the books of sages, even if there is more aura, it is not enough to consume, but it is a pity that I have achieved nothing so far, and I have no shame to see my relatives and friends!" ”

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard, "Put it down when it's time to put it down, your heart is wide to be wide, it's not a good thing to be too persistent!" ”

Lu Fuzeng humbly accepted the teaching, and thanked him again.

Mr. Zhou pointed to the young men who poked their heads out of the door and window of the bookstore, and said with a smile: "The aura is on them, hope for them!" ”

Lu Fuzeng turned his head, and the peeking young man quickly disappeared into the door and window, and returned to his seat in a proper manner, and soon the sound of reading came into his ears.

Mr. Zhou laughed and said: "If the jade is not cut, the fool in the mountain village can also make beautiful jade!" Thinking of something, he said to Lu Fuzeng: "Your two grandsons are also inside, shout them out and let me see." ”

Lu Fuzeng nodded, and Lu Xiaoyi took the initiative to say, "Uncle, I'll help you shout." Without waiting for him to reply, Lu Xiaoyi trotted to the door of the bookstore, shouting Bingyu and Wu Feng inside, the sound of reading aloud quickly quieted down, and the Bingyu brothers came out and stood in front of Lu Xiaoyi, Bingyu was actually a head taller than Lu Xiaoyi, and even Wu Feng, who was two years younger than her, was as tall as her.

One by one, like the jointed bamboo shoots, they are growing too fast, Lu Xiaoyi said to Nunu: "Mr. Zhou wants to see you, go quickly!" ”

Xiao Geng stood up, "Sister, doesn't the old gentleman see me?" ”

Lu Xiaoyi glared at him, "Read your book, I didn't name you." ”

Xiao Geng sighed and sat down disappointed. Lu Xiaoyi smiled, his eyes swept over the students in the library, the library has been open for more than a year, and now the students are only half of what it was when it opened. The students who stayed behind were either from well-off families or smart and hardworking, which made their families have expectations for his imperial examination. The students who left were either limited by their own conditions, or they had no intention of studying, and after learning some words, they rationally chose to drop out of school, and turned to work in the city or as an apprentice, so as to contribute to the work of the family as soon as possible.

When Lu Xiaoyi's eyes swept over Liu Bao and Shen Qiang, Liu Bao smiled heartily at her, and the little beautiful man smiled more and more like his brother, but Shen Qiang avoided her gaze awkwardly.

Lu Xiaoyi had no intention of guessing the mind of the tsundere young man, turned around and returned to Mr. Zhou's side, only to hear him ask Bingyu Wufeng a few words with a smile, then let the two of them leave, and waved his hand to Lu Fuzeng, "Busy with your go, I'll talk to your mother." ”

At this time, Ji Luo came out of the main room and respectfully saluted Mr. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, as soon as my great-grandmother heard your voice, she happily urged me to pick me up, please come with me." ”

Mr. Zhou looked at Ji Luo and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the little girl is quite aura." ”

Lu Xiaoyi smiled secretly, this old Mr. Zhou is troubled by occupational diseases, and he always likes to look at aura, this kind of ethereal temperament is not visible to ordinary people.

Ji Luo took advantage of the extreme turn to wink at Lu Xiaoyi beside Mr. Zhou, and then led the way in front of him, Lu Shouzeng helped Mr. Zhou to follow slowly, Lu Xiaoyi was still entangled in the riddle that the old man had not solved.

When a few people arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Lu was already walking to the door excitedly with a cane, and Mr. Zhou also threw away Lu Shouzeng, who was supporting him, and walked forward with a cane.

Maybe this is the last time they will see each other in this old acquaintance, whether they can see each other in the next life, it's hard to say, even if they meet, they don't know each other.

The atmosphere was a little sad, Lu Xiaoyi followed silently, and it was not until the two old men took their seats that she stepped forward to say hello to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu smiled: "Okay! Good! Xiao Yi has also grown into a big girl, and she has not seen her body for a while and has become taller again. ”

Ji Luo leaned over and coquettishly said: "Great-grandmother, am I taller?" ”

Mrs. Lu patted her head and said fondly: "Your meal is enough for me to eat for a day, you have to grow tall if you don't have long eyes!" ”

Ji Luo leaned on Mrs. Lu's arm and behaved coquettishly for a while, and Mrs. Lu smiled and coaxed her a few words.

Mr. Zhou on the side laughed, "Old sister, tease your grandson, come to enjoy the blessings of the old!" ”

Mrs. Lu will always be happy in front of outsiders, but in front of the familiar Mr. Zhou, she showed a wry smile, "I can't talk about happiness, I see that the people who are about to enter the soil are still working hard to take care of this family, hey, I can't let go!" I can't close my eyes! ”

At this time, Mrs. Lu came up to pour tea.

Mrs. Lu and Mr. Zhou are distant relatives, and it stands to reason that they should be with the hot point, who wants to finish pouring tea, she withdrew from the hall with a few words of greeting.

Mr. Zhou sighed: "The beautiful little girl back then has now become an old-fashioned mother-in-law." ”

Mrs. Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu's back, and said in a flat tone: "The tip of the mouth is thick and the belly is hollow, what's the use of good skin?" ”

Mr. Zhou smacked his touch, "Old sister, if you shouldn't ask something, do you regret it now?" ”

Mrs. Lu lowered her head and muttered, "It's not now, it's more than thirty years ago that I regretted it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi listened to the conversation between the two of them with a lot of information, and intuitively felt that there must be a story in it, but who knew that Mrs. Lu said to Ji Luo: "Xiao Ji, don't you always talk about Xiao Yi?" Now that she's here, you can take her to talk to her. ”

Ji Luo hummed obediently and looked at Xiao Yi, who was also very interested in walking out of the hall with Ji Luo.

Lu Xiaoyi intuitively felt that Mrs. Lu and Mr. Zhou were going to talk about the past, although it had nothing to do with her, but it was related to the Lu family, her gossip fire was burning again, and she wanted to find out, but she was sent out by Mrs. Lu.

When Mrs. Lu called Lu Zhong to speak, Lu Xiaoyi also hid here and eavesdropped, but now that the old scene has reappeared, she can't help but laugh dumbly.

Ji Luo hurriedly booed her, Lu Xiaoyi understood, covered his mouth and approached Ji Luo, and stole together.

I only heard Mrs. Lu sigh for a long time, "I regret not at the beginning, I don't pick a smart and virtuous girl who can run a family, I have to pick such a face-saving goods, she can't be diligent and thrifty, she can't teach her husband and children, she doesn't have a big clever, she is clever, I regret it!" ”

Mr. Zhou said: "They are all my distant nieces, the eldest niece is black and fat, but she is a smart person, the little niece is white and beautiful, but she is a dull person, I saw that Fuzeng was a child with aura, and I wanted to marry my smart niece to him, it was your mother and son who did not listen to persuasion by their appearance, and now they regret it and can't blame others!"
