Chapter 6: The House of Night

The humble house was divided into two rooms by wooden planks.

The inner room is divided into two rooms by straw mat curtains, Lu Quan and Lu Wang's family live outside, and Lu Yue'er lives in the innermost.

The outer room is where Lu Xuanxin and Lu Xuannian live together.

At this time, Lu Quan was lying on the old wooden bed, covered with a shabby quilt with a musty smell, resting with his eyes closed.

Lu Xuannian lowered his eyes, was silent, and sat on the edge of the wooden bed next to Lu Quan.

Lu Yue'er saw that it was crowded, so she went to stay inside.

Lu Wang was standing at a dark wooden table with two missing corners, and whispered while distributing food: "Er'er, this piece of dim sum and a meat bun are yours." Yue'er came to get food, these two pieces of dim sum and a meat bun are yours. These three pieces of dim sum and two meat buns are for the eldest child, the master, you and I have two meat buns each, and the rest will be kept first. ”

Lu Xuannian glanced at the remaining two meat buns and four pieces of dim sum, lowered his eyes slightly, slowly ate the food, and was silent.

Lu Yue'er whispered how delicious the dim sum was and how delicious the buns were.

Lu Wang responded one by one with a smile.

When Lu Xuanxin came back, Lu Wang handed the food to Lu Xuanxin.

Lu Xuanxin talked about how Lu Li handled those things while eating, and said that they would need to go to work later.

After dinner, Lu Xuanxin and Lu Xuannian went out to work.

Lu Wang secretly stuffed two meat buns and two pieces of dim sum to Lu Xuanxin.

Lu Xuannian lowered his eyes as if he didn't know anything, and walked silently towards the ground.

Lu Xuanxin walked not far behind Lu Xuannian, secretly eating food, and waited until the field was just finished.

On this day, the brothers did not return home until evening.

When a bright full moon hangs in the sky and the moonlight spreads on the earth, some farmers go home by moonlight, rich people discuss matters in the hall, busy businessmen read the account books in the study, and subsidized households weave bamboo baskets under the moonlight......

At this time, the atmosphere in Liu's Mansion was a little bad.

In the first ten years of the Liu family's imperial business, he has never suffered losses from anyone.

I never thought that seven years ago I suffered a loss on a fledgling little girl, and since then the Zhong and Liu families have formed a relationship.

Three years ago, not only was the Zhong family firm robbed of the first of the six imperial merchants, but also missed the position of president of the World Chamber of Commerce.

So far, the two have become more and more fierce.

In the hall, the delicate man said unhappily: "Why did you go wrong, second uncle, didn't you want to provoke your uncle and grandfather to calculate his silver, and then let people steal his things, and lead him into the alley to save people?" ”

This person is the daughter of Empress Sun - the third princess Shangguan Yu'er.

Liu Xu said: "I acted according to the plan to provoke him, but before the person who stole the money could lead him to the alley, he was stopped by a child, and our plan had to be canceled." ”

The third princess was full of anger, and said loudly: "Obviously, everything is well calculated, as long as my uncle and grandfather bring his savior back, if there is no choice, she will definitely take that person to see the imperial grandmother, and then we will let that person tell the truth, she will not only be embarrassed, but also cause dissatisfaction among the people in the palace, and now all the calculations have failed." ”

A year about a weak crown, born with a handsome human appearance: "The princess is angry, and the second uncle doesn't want to be like this." Now it is impossible for Zhong Xuanlan to recruit a son-in-law openly, and we send people to keep an eye on Zhong Mansion now, if she secretly recruits a son-in-law, we will destroy it. Besides, doesn't the Zhong family still have that ancestral precept! When the time comes, she can only take the little guy with her. ”

This person is the son of the Liu family, Liu Shao is in charge, and the three horses - Liu Yuan.

The third princess thought about it, and the lord of Xinlan County married a flower girl to be her husband, which was funny to think about.

After figuring it out, I no longer embarrassed Liu Xu.

Seeing this, Liu Xu asked, "What about that gambling contract?" ”

Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, if she gets married, her nephew will pay." ”

Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just don't want him to pay.

At this moment, Zhong Xuanlan in the Zhong Mansion is sitting at the desk to deal with affairs, flipping through the account book with his left hand, and writing with a brush in his right hand.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Zhong Xuanli entered the door, he asked, "Sister, why did you decide your marriage so casually?" Have you forgotten what your grandfather said? ”

Thinking of receiving the news tonight, I learned that Zhong Xuanlan was going to leave for Lujia Village, Qiyun Town, tomorrow, and asked him to help manage the family's business for a while.

His eyelids couldn't stop jumping, although he had never seen that person, but he had heard Uncle Zhong describe how that person was worthy of his beautiful sister.

Zhong Xuanlan put down the pen in his hand and drank tea slowly with a teacup.

Thinking of the news about Lu Xuannian that he received today, he was very satisfied, it would be better if the people in his family were simpler.

Zhong Xuanli was unhappy when he saw her appearance.

Zhong Xuanlan put down the teacup, then looked at the angry Zhong You, raised his eyebrows, hooked his lips and smiled: "Is it casual?" ”

Zhong Xuan was excited, but he still insisted: "Sister, you should at least pick an older one, a better looking one, his thin appearance, he doesn't know a single big character, and he doesn't deserve you at all." Besides, can he withstand the ups and downs of the Zhong Mansion? You might as well marry An Zichen. ”

Zhong Xuanlan listened, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "An Zichen? Don't you know who he is? Although that person is a little younger, at least his family background is innocent, and he will not lead wolves into the house, so he should raise a child husband, and as for the rest, he can be taught slowly. ”

Zhong Xuanli frowned slightly and said, "Sister, did something happen?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyebrows and nodded, not wanting to say more. He asked, "You're not going to come to me for this, are you?" ”

Zhong Xuanli saw the threatening look on Zhong Xuanlan's face, so he didn't continue the matter, and changed the topic: "Sister, do you have any wages to take care of the business?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Zhong Xuanli and said, "No, if you behave well, your grounding will end when I come back." By the way, keep this matter under wrap-off, and then spread the news that I'm going to get married in early April. ”

Zhong Xuanli saw Zhong Xuanlan's tired face, and felt a little distressed in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he returned to the appearance of a gentleman. said casually: "Sister, everything in the world can be calculated, but feelings cannot be calculated, and sincerity is exchanged for sincerity." With that, he left.

Zhong Xuanlan leaned back on the Taishi chair alone, looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and was in a daze......

Casual, indeed casual enough.

What about calculations? She Zhong Xuanlan is a businessman and never trades at a loss.

I hope her little husband can withstand the wind and waves here.

Grandfather, would you support your granddaughter?
