Chapter 3 The Wu Family

Lu Shuyi's maternal grandfather, the Wu family, lived in Mao'er Hutong in the southwest corner of Changle Town.

The previous three generations of the Wu family were all grain merchants, and they were once brilliant and famous in this Changle town.

Especially in the generation of Lu Shuyi's maternal grandfather Wu Zhengrong, business is even better day by day.

Wu Zhengrong also sent military rations to the Huo family in Dingbeihou, Jizhou, and won the appreciation of Dingbeihou.

And Lu Shuyi's mother is Wu Zhengrong's only daughter.

Therefore, the man who asked to marry Lu Shuyi's mother back then was also like a carp crossing the river.

It's just that in the end, Wu Zhengrong took a fancy to Lu Shuyi's father, saying that he was a kind person with a good nature, and he had some talent and learning, which could be entrusted for life.

The marriage between Lu Shuyi's father and mother back then really made the Lu family envious.

It's just that Lu Shuyi's maternal grandfather Wu Zhengrong has an old illness, and I heard that he was brought out of his mother's womb. He didn't live more than forty, and he died of overwork.

As soon as Wu Zhengrong died, the matter of sending military rations to the Huo family army was also replaced by the Yizhou Pan family.

Lu Shuyi's only uncle, Wu Cheng, was still young and playful. In a few years, many of the Wu family's grain shops became the Pan family's ......

One is prosperous, and one is lost, Lu Shuyi's mother is gradually not favored in the Lu family.

Lu Shuyi's heart was filled with a faint sadness, and her eyes were slightly dark.

Thinking about what happened to her back then, it was also because her grandfather's family did not have a competent person that she and her sister were tragically destroyed and could not escape......

The carriage swayed to Mao'er Alley, and Lu Shuyi raised her little finger and opened the curtain to look.

Although this alley is not long, the entire alley belongs to the Wu family.

Wu Zhengrong is an only son, and when Wu Cheng's generation is an only son, there is no so-called property struggle.

The current Wu family is quite complete.

At least from the outside, it doesn't break.

But who would have thought that such a carved beam and painted building, a magnificent home. After a few years, it will change hands, and the building will fall, becoming a flower street and willow lane, a place where warblers and swallows sing.

Dusk is late, and the old man has long since lost his way back......

Lu Shuyi bit her lip, gently lowered the curtain, and didn't dare to look at it again.

"Third Miss, it's here." Mama You lowered her eyelids and reminded that Xiu'er had already gotten out of the car to go to Tongyu.

Huan'er went to put the pedal again, and Mama You helped Lu Shuyi to get out of the carriage slowly.

Usually when Lu Shuyi comes, the carriage will stop at the west gate of the Wu family, and will not enter from the main gate.

There were a few brown-clothed little men guarding the west gate, and they hurriedly lowered their eyelids to say hello, and did not dare to raise their heads.

Although the Wu family is not as prosperous as before, there is still no shortage of rules.

After a while, a woman in a plain blue makeup gown walked out quickly.

This woman looked like she was in her forties, with a thin figure, a somewhat innocent complexion, her hair combed in a bun, and a red gold hairpin on it, which did not lose her status but was not too extravagant.

"Grandmother." Lu Shuyi had a smile on her cheeks, and hurriedly greeted her.

Yang smiled and hurriedly picked it up: "Excuse me." ”

Lu Shuyi's maternal grandmother, Yang, is a very good person, thoughtful and fair, and does not do things publicly.

It's just that his temperament is a little soft, so after the death of Lu Shuyi's maternal grandfather Wu Zhengrong, the Yang family also suffered a lot of grievances.

She was originally not good at communicating, but for the sake of her son, she also began to deal with the ladies of various families and seek compromise.

When the Wu family was defeated, the Yang family was humiliated and used a three-foot white silk to hang the beam.

Later, Lu Shuyi heard that it was a heavy snowy day when Yang went, and the snow was three feet thick, and Wu Chengcheng knelt in the snow for a whole day......

And she didn't even have the qualifications to give Yang a ride......

The corners of her eyes were a little warm, and Lu Shuyi was busy covering it with a smile.

Mama You led Xiu'er and Huan'er to salute.

Yang smiled slightly, took Lu Shuyi's hand and asked, "Yi'er, on such a hot day, why did you think of coming to see me?" ”

While looking at Lu Shuyi's red little face, she said distressedly: "Look, it's hot, right?" ”

Lu Shuyi put aside the sadness in her heart, smiled sweetly, treated herself as a twelve-year-old girl, winked at Yang, and said coquettishly: "It's hot, Aunt An took me to Daci Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for peace for my mother." You see, I'm sweating. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately fanned his sleeve in front of him, and looked at Yang with a smile.

She is wearing a red gown embroidered with plum blossoms, and the plum blossoms are also traced with silver threads, which is quite luxurious.

Look at the pearl headband on his head, where is this to worship the Buddha, it is clearly for the banquet.

Yang glanced at it and couldn't help frowning.

It's just that she couldn't say anything in front of the Lu family, so she could only take Lu Shuyi's hand and say, "I happen to have chilled plum soup in my house, and it's cool to drink a bowl." ”

Lu Shuyi had already seen the unhappiness flashing on Yang's face, she only pretended not to see it, and pulled Yang's hand with a smile: "Okay, the iced plum soup you have here is the best." ”

Lu Shuyi vaguely remembered that in her previous life, she also caused a lot of trouble because of this set of clothes.

She remembered that after she returned from worshipping the Buddha, she went back to her grandmother's words.

Mrs. Lu immediately pointed to her shirt and scolded her fiercely.

said that her mother was still sick, and she was dressed up so brightly, where is this person who serves the disease, so that outsiders can see how flamboyant the girls of their Lu family are!

And in her previous life, she cherished her appearance too much, and she was stubborn. actually collided with Mrs. Lu on the spot, and Mrs. Lu was very displeased with her.

In the days to come, and even after that incident, Mrs. Lu was reluctant to look at her more, thinking that she was the kind of person who could not live for her own evil.

She thought, now that the Yang family sees her dressed like this, it is the same idea as Mrs. Lu who saw her in her previous life!

Lu Shuyi quietly concealed her feelings, bent her eyes and smiled and followed Yang into Yang's upper room.

There are no old people above the Wu family, and the Yang family is now the largest in the Wu family, so they naturally live in the upper room.

The furnishings in the room are still the same as in the previous life.

Quaint mahogany furniture, with two jars of water lilies on the trellis on the right-hand side. There are two red golden carp swimming in the lotus, and the tail of the fish flutters and makes a small splash, which is quite vibrant.

"Come, wash your hands first, and then drink plum soup."

The eldest girl of the Yang family, Mo Ju, came over with a hot hand towel hanging her head, Lu Shuyi took it, cleaned her hands, looked around, and frowned: "Grandmother, where are my brother and sister?" Why don't you see them? ”

Yang pulled her to sit on the Luohan bed covered with green silk mats, handed her a bowl of chilled plum soup, touched her hair and said, "Jing'er and Jie'er went out with your uncle, saying that they were going to see something...... Look at what juggling, haven't come back yet. ”

Lu Shuyi's uncle Wu Cheng was born in the twenty-seventh year of the Yang family, Wu Cheng is ten years younger than Lu Shuyi's mother, and he is just eighteen this year.

It is said that Yang had a difficult birth when he gave birth to Wu Cheng and almost lost his life. Therefore, after Wu Cheng was born, the Wu family regarded this child as a treasure and was particularly pampered.

At the age when he should have started a family, he has the heart of a child who hasn't played enough.

Lu Shuyi sighed and slowly took a bite of chilled plum soup.

After taking a bite, it is really a mouthful of tongue and a cool heart.

In her previous life, her little uncle Wu Cheng seemed to be the chicken fighting with the brother-in-law of the county Cheng today.

Later, Wu Cheng lost, but refused to admit it, and the two got into a fight, only to be discounted by the county Cheng's brother-in-law......

Lu Shuyi's mother also accelerated her death because she learned about it.

Lu Shuyi frowned slightly.

Yang looked at her and whispered, "Your mother is sick, why are you dressed like this?" Don't be afraid...... Aren't you afraid of other people's jokes and upsetting your old lady? ”

"My aunt made me wear it!" Lu Shuyi pursed her lips aggrievedly, and looked at Yang with a pair of pitiful eyes: "My aunt said that I look the best in this dress." ”

Aunt An's mother is Yang's cousin, and Aunt An in her previous life did a very good job of dealing with people and things, and she could hardly find flaws, so Yang also trusted Aunt An.

Later, after Lu Shuyi's mother Wu died, it was also because the Yang family trusted Aunt An, and they were afraid that Lu Shuyi would suffer if she had three more stepmothers. This helped Aunt An and made Aunt An straighten.

But in this life, Lu Shuyi didn't want Aunt An to get what she wanted.

Lu Shuyi tried her best to keep herself twelve-year-old and ignorant of personnel, and pouted again: "My aunt also said that girls should cherish themselves and be beautiful every day." ”

Yang's face really changed, and his eyes were a little heavy.

Lu Shuyi knew that her grandmother was angry.

It's good to be angry, so that you can really see a person clearly.

"Grandmother, am I not dressed like this?" Lu Shuyi put down the iced plum soup in her hand, her eyes a little depressed.
