The Lou family is located in the northeast corner of Thanh Hoa City, in addition to the Lou family, the children and grandchildren of the four brothers of the Lou family also live here. Therefore, although the courtyard of the Lou family is not luxurious, there are many houses, and it is very lively. After dinner, the Lou family would sit in groups and chat about some family life.

"Have you heard? The stupid son-in-law of Master Lou's big house made a bet with Young Master Lou Yin. ”

"Really? That stupid son-in-law can't even say a word on weekdays, and will he bet with others? I think it's 80% fake. ”

"That's true! You don't know, I heard this matter from Young Master Lou Yin himself. It is said that Zhang Shumo has a way to let Miss Zaiying join the army, but Young Master Lou Yin naturally doesn't believe it, so they bet. If Zhang Shumo loses, he will learn to bark in front of the whole family! ”

"Haha, if that's the case, the face of the big house will be lost!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, the people from the big house are here."

Zhang Shumo walked in front of everyone with his head down, and he naturally heard everyone's words, but he had long been accustomed to everyone's criticism, so he didn't take his words to heart at all.

Lou Guang couldn't do it, he had already heard what his wife said about Zhang Shumo's acquaintance with the senior officials in the capital, so he poked Zhang Shumo's arm: "Brother-in-law, they laugh at you, why don't you tell them?" Tell them that your classmate is a big official in the capital. ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "I, I said it, will they believe it?" ”

"If you tell the truth, they will naturally believe it, unless your brother-in-law tells you a lie."

"Whether it's true or not, we will naturally know when we are recruited on the second day of the first month of June and June."

Lou Guang couldn't swallow this breath, glared at the group of gossips, snorted heavily, and then left Lou's house with Zhang Shumo.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Zhang Shumo subconsciously glanced at the restaurant opposite, Lu Li had been away for half a month, he should have arrived in the capital, and he should be furious when he heard his request with his father's temper, right?

"What do you think, brother-in-law? Why don't you go? Lou Guang looked at Zhang Shumo with a puzzled expression

Zhang Shumo hurriedly smiled: "No, nothing." What are you going to do when you call me out today, today? ”

Lou Guang smiled mysteriously and took out the cricket jar in his arms: "Naturally, I saw it be powerful!" Brother-in-law, you are so powerful, the golden-headed general you caught for me has won 12 games in a row, and now he has beaten all over Thanh Hoa invincible, no! It is an invincible opponent all over the world! ”

Zhang Shumo's brows wrinkled together after hearing this: "That's it, just for this?" No, I, I have to go back, if I let you know that my sister will, she will kill me. ”

Lou Guang grabbed Zhang Shumo: "It doesn't matter, my sister won't know, today my cousin Lu Caiyun followed my aunt to play at home, the two of them are chatting, and they can't stop until night." After speaking, he took Zhang Shumo and strode away.

In the courtyard of the Lou family's big house, Lou Zaiying and Lu Caiyun sat under the big tree to enjoy the cool and chat.

"I heard my aunt say that my grandfather punished you for being a female celebrity at home, why don't you see your things?"

Lou Zaiying spread his hands: "You still don't know me?" Let me be a female celebrity or kill me! But how can you be so idle? You are married and still run to your parents' house all day long, not afraid that your brother-in-law will be angry? ”

Speaking of her husband, Lu Caiyun smiled proudly: "Your brother-in-law studies at home all day long in order to gain fame, and he is afraid that I will disturb him at home, how can he think that I will run to my parents' house?" Why is your husband not at home? You have to watch him do something, so that he can read some books, take a test, or really eat soft rice at home? ”

Lou Zaiying pursed his lips: "His stupidity is useless even if he reads, how can he still get famous?" ”

"That's right! When we came today, we heard the mother-in-law on the road say, your father-in-law made a bet with Lou Yin, did you know? ”

Lou Zaiying nodded: "I know, I was also there at the time." ”

"And you're still making him bet? If you lose, you have to learn to bark in front of the whole family! He's also a big house, aren't you afraid of losing face? ”

Lou Zaiying sighed: "Alas, this matter is difficult to explain. But he doesn't necessarily lose, Zhang Shumo has a classmate who is an official in the capital, and he has already asked Boss Lu of the opposite restaurant to send a letter to him, maybe he will succeed. ”

Lu Caiyun laughed strangely: "Sister, do you believe this kind of thing?" Just like his stupidity, will there be a classmate who will be an official in the capital? It's a blessing that the one who can be with him is not a fool, and he is still an official? ”

"At first, I didn't believe it, but what he said was clear-eyed, saying that his classmate was the master of Jing Zhaoyin's disciple, and their teacher was a contemporary Confucian, called Xu Yi. He shouldn't be able to cheat about this kind of thing, and I inquired a few days ago, is it just a coincidence that Boss Lu on the other side really entered Beijing? ”

Lu Caiyun shook his head thoughtfully: "It's hard to say. By the way, I didn't say hello to my grandfather when I came, so I'll leave first, and we'll talk another day. ”

After speaking, Lu Caiyun left the courtyard of the big room, but she didn't go to Master Lou's side, but turned around and went to the second room.

"What? No wonder that wretch dared to bet with me, it turns out that there is such a relationship! Lou Yin slapped the table fiercely, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about a problem.

Seeing this, Lu Caiyun hurriedly comforted: "My brother should not be taken seriously, and Zhang Shumo's words should not be fully believed." How can he be willing to accept him like that, your brother-in-law has studied for many years, and he also has a certain reputation in Qinghua City, if this Xu Yi is really a contemporary Confucian, I will find out when I go home and ask. ”

Lou Yin nodded: "What if what he said is true?" Just based on his words, will people risk the world's condemnation to arrange a woman to enter the barracks? Besides, he treats others as classmates, and whether people recognize him or not! But I still have to thank my cousin for reminding me about this. ”

Lu Caiyun waved his hand: "It's all as it should be, after all, you are the heir of the Lou family, how can I be to outsiders?" But my brother doesn't have to worry too much, I'll go home and ask Xianggong to see if there is really such a number one person as Xu Yi! ”

Leaving Lou's house, Lu Caiyun walked towards Niu's house.

The Niu family is a famous scholarly family in Thanh Hoa City, and the only school in the city, Songlin College, is the Niu family's industry. Lu Caiyun's father-in-law is called Niu Wen, although he is a side branch of the Niu family, but because of his literary talent, he has been appreciated by Niu Zheng, the head of the Niu family, and since then Niu Wen has concentrated on learning and striving to gain fame as soon as possible.

When Lu Caiyun returned home, Niu Wen was still shaking his head and reading. Lu Caiyun made tea and brought it to Niu Wen's side: "Xianggong reads day and night, and he is not afraid of being tired and ruined, and the slave family who watches it is distressed." ”

Hearing Lu Caiyun's words, Niu Wen stopped, took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't the lady go back to her parents' house today?" How did you come back again? ”

"Today, I heard the name of a great Confucian in my mother's house, it seems to be Xu Yi, I don't know if my husband may have heard of it?"

Niu Wen frowned: "Some ears, I think that the name of this great Confucian is self-appointed by him, right?" ”
