1107 Bring your own vegetables?
"The neighbors are rejoicing today, and the old are rejoicing! It's a pity that he has nothing to do, so he can only take a piece of meat and a copper coin to congratulate his neighbors. ”
There was no one else around, and the old man Shi Shiran stepped forward, politely bowed his hand, and gave the gift he brought.
Unbeknownst to him, Steward Lu had already heard the conversation between him and the middle-aged man just now, and when he was moved, Steward Lu had already walked over first.
Stretching out his hand to support the old man, Steward Lu sighed: "Old brother, you are too polite!" My son-in-law just invited the neighbors to gather today to celebrate the birth of the little girl in the family, so why do you need such a gift? It's great that you'll be able to come, brother! ”
The old man held Steward Lu's arm and smiled: "Haha...... That's all you said, I'm just a bad old man, where can I be a guest? This little gift is not a good thing, just don't lose the courtesy, and don't dislike it. ”
When Steward Lu heard him say this, he immediately said: "My brother wants to be bad, it's too late for us to rejoice, how can we dislike it?" However, today's matter, when the mind arrives, it's okay, why bother to stick to the form? ”
"Well, that's not going to work! Gifts are still exchanged, only for human favors, how can it be abolished? ”
At the gate, Steward Lu and the old man came and went, and they said a few polite words!
In the end, he couldn't, so Steward Lu reluctantly accepted the meat, but he couldn't accept the copper coin.
The old man is also an open-minded person, seeing Steward Lu's resolute appearance, he is no longer verbose, puts away the copper coin, hands over the meat, and then arches his hand with a smile and walks to the house.
Later, Steward Lu, who was carrying the meat, saw the figure of the old man, suddenly put the meat down, pulled a servant over with his hand, and whispered a few words to him.
Then he saw the servants nod their heads again and again, and at last trotted after the old man, and led him to the banquet with great courtesy.
"Hey, who is warm and cold, only he knows himself."
Looking at the old man who gradually disappeared behind the shadow wall, Steward Lu felt that the anger he had just caused because of the group of cheap neighbors had also dissipated a lot at this time.
He sighed, turned his head to look at the bamboo pole and Wang Chong'an, who were still watching at the bottom of the steps, and beckoned and shouted, "Hey, what are you two little dolls looking at?" Why don't you get in now? It's late for a while, don't worry that there will be no more dishes! Go back hungry again. ”
Wang Chong'an, who was at the foot of the steps, was stunned at first when he saw Steward Lu talking to him suddenly, and then walked up the steps with some twist.
The two boys walked one after the other, until they walked in front of Steward Lu, Wang Chongan took out a small silver longevity lock from his arms, and said: "We, we are here to see the teacher today, and the newly-born little junior sister, but we don't know if we need to bring vegetables...... I only brought a lock......
"Huh? What do you mean to bring food?! ”
As soon as Steward Lu heard Wang Chong'an's words, his eyes instantly widened, and the hand that was stroking his long beard tightened even more, almost pulling off a strand of beard directly!
However, although he didn't pull off his beard this time, he still grinned in pain, and hurriedly rubbed his chin and said, "Who told you that you have to bring your own food when you come here?"
"Didn't those people bring all of them just now? We've seen it with our own eyes! At this time, the bamboo pole timidly followed Wang Chongan to talk.
When Steward Lu heard this, he rolled his eyes again, and secretly thought in his heart: These two stupid people are really Hou Ye's students? is so stupid, so eyeless, can Master Hou teach it? Not afraid of tarnishing your reputation?
"Those people, those people don't care!" I was thinking like that in my mind, but Steward Lu finally waved his hand and told them to be less nosy.
Do you really think it's an honorable thing to be a guest with a little rags?
This kind of bastard practice, to put it mildly, is short-sighted and greedy.
To put it mildly, it is a blatant insult to the family and looks down on you!
There is a fire in my heart again! Steward Lu was about to tell them to hurry up and get in, so as not to be an eyesore here!
But he swept his eyes coldly, and then caught a glimpse of the silver lock in Wang Chong'an's hand.
Then, Steward Lu's brows immediately furrowed, and he said suspiciously: "This longevity lock, it looks very new, you are young, where did you get the money to buy it, should you ...... it from home?"
Steward Lu didn't say the next words, but Wang Chongan looked at his face and guessed what he was going to say!
originally had a round and chubby face, but it immediately turned the color of pork liver!
It seems that this is stolen from home...... Ahem, it's a matter of taking money, and he really has done it a lot.
"How is that possible! This is a gift for my little sister, every article and article, all of which are the money I earned with the methods taught by my husband, and I am innocent! Wang Chongan stiffened his neck and retorted with a red face!
Seeing this, Steward Lu didn't say anything, just laughed!
As the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, Lao Lu is extremely rich in experience and experience? As long as you look at it, you can see that Wang Chongan is blushing because he is angry, not blushing because he is poked in his heart!
"Okay, don't be angry, I just teased you! You are a student of my son-in-law, come to visit Mr., you can bring valuables with a breeze on your sleeves? ”
After laughing, Steward Lu didn't take the silver lock, but directly pulled the two people to enter the door.
"No!"
However, when Wang Chongan saw that others didn't accept his gifts, he didn't do it!
He stubbornly stood in place, and let Steward Lu pull a few times without pulling: "This is not a common etiquette, it is a little bit of our heart!" And you don't have to worry about us running out of money! Since Mr.'s teaching, we can now rely on our brains to make money, and in the future, we can make more money. ”
"Hey, you kid!"
Steward Lu was a little stunned when he heard Wang Chong'an's loud words, and then became interested, clapped his hands and asked with a smile: "As a scholar, how can you open your mouth and close your mouth to money?" Not afraid of Mr. punishment? ”
"Don't be afraid, because this is what Mr. taught!" Wang Chongan replied to Steward Lu without thinking.
"Uh......" Steward Lu was a little speechless when choked, and hurriedly coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment: "Ahem...... How did your husband teach you? Could it be that you fell into the eyes of money at a young age? ”
Wang Chongan frowned slightly, he didn't like others to say bad things about his husband, if it weren't for Steward Lu's age, and he was also the Xiao family's own person, he would have had a seizure a long time ago.
However, Rao is like this, Wang Chongan also said in a blunt tone: "We didn't fall into the eye of money, but use our ability to make money!"
Mr. once taught us that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way! It can be seen that the gentleman is not an immortal who eats and drinks dew, and he also needs copper coins to live.
And the gentleman also said later, what you want is a bald donkey! There is no point in living this kind of person, and it is a pity to die! Only those who can use their own hands and abilities to make themselves and their families live a good life can be regarded as not living in vain!! ”
"Ahem, it's a monk, not a bald donkey......"
Wang Chongan swore in front of him, but the bamboo pole behind him was sweating like rain, and he quickly pulled the corner of his clothes to correct the sick sentence in his words.
If the monk hears this, God knows how those fat-headed and big-eared guys will treat them like this!
Mercy?
That certainly doesn't exist! didn't pick up the wooden fish, poked two big bags on their heads, and was already a monk's compassion.
