Chapter 5: Betting

"What? Hahaha! Zhang Shumo: This is the funniest joke I've heard today! Lou Yin laughed: "I didn't expect you to feel sorry for your wife, but it's a pity that you don't count, even if you can ask your grandfather to recommend Lou Zaiying, the people in the army will not agree to a woman entering the barracks!" Therefore, Lou Zaiying will never join the army! ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Shumo said as he looked at Lou Zaiying, as if to cheer her up.

Lou Zaiying looked at Zhang Shumo's firm eyes and had mixed feelings in her heart, although Zhang Shumo said very resolutely, she knew in her heart how difficult it was for a woman to enter the barracks. The reason why I still came to my grandfather to make trouble is mostly because I am unwilling in my heart, and I am unwilling to accept my fate like this!

Zhang Shumo came to Lou Zaiying's side and reached out to pull Lou Zaiying, but Lou Zaiying ignored it. Zhang Shumo still said firmly: "Xiang, believe me, I, I have a way!" With that, he stretched his hand forward.

In the year since she married Zhang Shumo, Lou Zaiying had never seen Zhang Shumo's resolute attitude, and she couldn't help but be moved. Finally took Zhang Shumo's hand and stood up.

"Haha, Zhang Shumo, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to tell a lie so realistically, even grandpa didn't dare to pack the ticket, you are so sure? Lou Zaiying, if he is stupid, do you also make stupid mistakes? Do you believe in this kind of trick? Lou Yin had a contemptuous smile on his face.

"That's it, I think their family has been stupid by Zhang Shumo, son, let's go!" After Mrs. Yi finished speaking, she was about to pull Lou Yin away.

Mrs. Qing and the others looked displeased when they heard Lou Yin's words, and wanted to refute them, but they felt that what Lou Yin said was reasonable, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Shumo squinted his eyes and glared at Lou Yin fiercely: "What if I, I did it?" For example, what if Ying'er really joined the army this year? You—Do you dare to bet with me? Zhang Shumo has long been used to others ridiculing him, so he doesn't care. But this time, the other party repeatedly hit Lou Zaiying, which made Zhang Shumo very unhappy, so this time, Zhang Shumo didn't plan to endure it.

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Lou Yin frowned and looked at him: What is this kid's idea? How do you think that he is a wreck, and it is impossible for the military to accept Lou Zaiying? I have no reason to be afraid of him, and his words have been said to this point, if I don't take it, wouldn't it be a joke?

Thinking of this, Lou Yin raised his head: "Why don't you dare!" Bet on what, you say! ”

"For example, if you lose, you, you have to apologize to Ying'er in front of the whole family!"

Lou Yin clapped his hands: "Okay!" Then if you lose, I want you to learn to bark in front of the whole family! Feasible? ”

"One, one word is a certainty!"

Master Lou stood behind the screen and listened to the conversation between the two families, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Hong'er, it's not that you are a father, but you can't help it. Originally, you were the eldest son of my Lou family, and the burden of the Lou family will naturally be handed over to you in the future, but who knows you...... Alas! Now the Lou family can only be entrusted to your younger brother, and Lou Yin is his only son, if he has no interest, the Lou family will be finished in the future! I naturally know that Jae-young's kung fu is good, but there is no precedent for a woman to join the army! I hope that kid you brought back really has a way......

The two families left separately, and as soon as they returned to their courtyard, Mrs. Qing called Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying into their room.

"Shumo, I know you can't see them squeezing Ying'er, but you shouldn't be so reckless and make such a bet with them! You are also the son-in-law of our family, and you learn to bark in front of the whole family, where do you let us put our faces? Speaking of this, Mrs. Yi looked at Lou Zaiying again: "Ying'er, if you can't do it, let's go and beg your father's old subordinates to let them keep you by their side, so that they can be regarded as entering the barracks, and they should be able to block the mouth of the second room." ”

Lou Zaiying also reacted at this time, and grabbed Zhang Shumo's ear: "What happened to you just now?" Say, what the hell are you going to do! ”

"It hurts, it hurts!" Zhang Shumo screamed twice, and Lou Zaiying let go of his hand: "If you can't say it clearly today, don't eat!" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at the mother and daughter, knowing the worries in their hearts, so he comforted: "I, I have a classmate in the capital, he has already taken the exam and obtained fame when I left and left, I will write and write to him now, and ask him to help him and arrange for Ying'er to join the army." ”

The mother and daughter exchanged glances, and then looked at Zhang Shumo. When Lou Hong brought Zhang Shumo back, he only said that he was an orphan, and did not elaborate on Zhang Shumo's background, although Zhang Shumo was stupid, but after all, he also came from the capital, and the capital is a place where dignitaries gather, if Zhang Shumo really knows any nobles, it is not impossible.

"What's your classmate's name? What is the current position? Mrs. Qing asked suspiciously.

Zhang Shumo raised his eyes to the right and replied: "His surname, surname Li Mingnian, character, character Xiaoyan, when I left and left, he was already the master of Jing Zhaoyin's door." ”

Mrs. Yi and Lou Zaiying opened their mouths slightly, obviously surprised. Lou Zaiying muttered: "Such a big official? Then he glared at Zhang Shumo again: "You're not scolding me, are you?" How did you end up in a classmate with such a powerful person? ”

"When I was young, my father was an official in the capital, and Li Nian's father was a colleague, so we worshiped together under the great Confucian Xu Yi. The prestige of my old man and teacher, you can go to Qinghua Academy and ask. Zhang Shumo knew that the Lou family was not familiar with the Qingliu Realm, so naturally he would not seek verification, so he said it half-truthfully.

When the two of them saw that what Zhang Shumo said was serious, they already believed in it, and Mrs. Qing hurriedly said: "Since you are Mo'er's classmate, then you can repair a book now, so that I can let someone take it to the capital, so as not to delay time." ”

Zhang Shumo frowned, if this letter was to be brought to the capital by someone else, that person would naturally not be able to find Li Nian, and his lie would be exposed, so he hurriedly said: "No, don't work for the mother-in-law, the adults are bothered, Lou Mansion is right, the Lu boss of the restaurant opposite is Beijing, the capital people's family, the child, this is going to write a letter, ask him to take and take it to the capital." ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo left Mrs. Qing's room. Lou Zaiying looked at his departing back and couldn't help but say, "Mother, do you believe his words?" ”

"Believe it. How many eyes did my uncle suffer when he came to our house, and he didn't do anything to stand out, and today I bet with Lou Yin for you, I think I am very sure. ”

Zhang Shumo returned to the house, pretended to write a letter and went out. Lou Zaiying stood at the door and watched Zhang Shumo leave, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart: If he can really let me join the army, I will live with him in a down-to-earth manner.
