Chapter 129: Wives and Concubines Are Terrifying (Part I)
Su Qianyi led the way in front, passing through a few small streets and coming to a wide alley. At the end of the alley, there is a big old banyan tree, with lush branches and leaves, covering the three huts under the tree, and the new young leaves in spring are transparent like pieces of jasper after the rain.
As soon as everyone stepped into the alley, they felt that the alley was cool and quiet, and Yixing City outside was like two worlds.
The Han couple tied their horses under the tree, and when they were about to worship the door, Su Qianyi smiled bitterly: "We came back late, the door is locked, it seems that my ancestor has gone out again." ”
Han Lao Wu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "That's really unfortunate, let's visit again tomorrow?" ”
Su Qianyi hurriedly took out the key and said, "He will always come back, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will follow me into the house and sit down first." ”
Before Han Lao Wu could answer, Mrs. Han hurriedly said, "Since you are here, wait a minute, but it doesn't hurt." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Han's intentions were very strong, Han Lao Wu couldn't help it, so he had to nod and enter the hut with Su Yang'er and the others.
Su Yang'er came to Su Weng's house for the first time, she had heard that Su Weng's family business was quite large, but she didn't expect the residence to be so shabby, but she saw that the furniture in the house was old, and there was nothing to praise it, but a calligraphy and painting on the wall was hung in a very conspicuous place, she didn't understand this, she glanced at it, so she didn't look at it anymore, but asked curiously: "Do you and Su Weng live here on weekdays?" ”
Su Qianyi shook his head and said, "I live in my own house, and I will come here when I have time." ”
After that, he beckoned everyone to sit down, brought tea and snacks, and hurriedly ran out of the house, turning back after a while, but there were two more hard-boiled eggs in his hands, and they were still steaming, obviously they were just cooked, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he held it in his hand like this, sat directly next to Su Yang'er, broke the egg shell, wrapped it in a cloth and stretched it to Su Yang'er's forehead.
When Su Yang'er saw it, he immediately knew that he wanted to reduce swelling and stasis for himself, and it could be seen that the injury on his forehead was more serious than his own, but he thought about himself wholeheartedly, and couldn't help but be quite moved: "I'll do it myself, you have a lot of bags on your head than me." ”
Su Qianyi hurriedly said: "Don't move, you can't apply it yourself, in case you have a scar, the ancestor won't kill me?" ”
Su Yang'er was stunned and said: "I'm asking for my own hardship, why did he beat you?" ”
Su Qianyi imitated Su Weng's tone and said: "He will definitely say, stinky boy, I will let you go out to buy tea, you go to fight with people, if you can't beat others, forget it, and let our baby Yang Er hurt people, what's the use of you living in the world?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Yang'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are talking nonsense, Su Weng will definitely not say such a thing." ”
Su Qianyi sighed and said, "You haven't seen him lose his temper." ”
Seeing the intimacy that the two naturally revealed, Han Lao Wu and Mrs. Han couldn't help but smile at each other, but then Mrs. Han straightened her face again and said, "Han Lao Wu, look at how well other people's little brothers treat their wives." ”
Hearing this, Su Qianyi hurriedly explained: "Mrs. Han, you misunderstood, Yang Er and I are not husband and wife. ”
Han Lao Wu also shook his head and smiled: "Madam, Brother Su and this little sister have the same clan and surname, since ancient times, the same surname is not married, how can it be husband and wife." ”
Mrs. Han was dumbfounded and said apologetically: "I forgot about this, my sister is used to it, don't worry about it." ”
Su Qianyi shook his head again, and said: "That's not it, the law of this dynasty, the same surname is not married, it means that there is no marriage in the five suits, as for me and Yang Er, there is only one distant great-ancestor, her branch has long been broken off the incense temple, but it is just ......" He was halfway through his words, and suddenly stopped talking, Su Yang'er was inexplicable, and wondered: "What are you talking about, what does it mean to not marry with the same surname?" ”
Su Qianyi saw that she didn't understand, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's just that Mrs. Han mistook our relationship." ”
Su Yang'er let out a light "oh" and didn't care, and Han Lao Wu and Mrs. Han saw that Su Qianyi was spitting and spitting, obviously there was something unspeakable, and they no longer asked rashly, they were here to beg for help, and they didn't want to embarrass their master, so they looked elsewhere.
Han Lao Wu stared at the calligraphy and painting on the wall for a long time, and saw that there was a small poem written on the calligraphy, which had neither a title nor a payment, and he didn't care at first, but then he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and chanted the poem: "The predecessor is suspected to be this mountain monk, and the ape and crane also have love when they meet." Cherish the wind and the moon at the head of the ridge, and often remember the name of the old man for a hundred years. ”
Mrs. Han listened to it and smiled slightly: "This seven-character quatrain is a bit of a big deal, little brother, is this the old gentleman of your family who did it?" ”
Su Qianyi smiled: "My ancestor is a businessman and can only do business, where is everyone?" When he was a child, his family was poor, and he encountered a disaster year, he didn't read a few days of books, of course, he couldn't make such a poem, this calligraphy and painting was given by the ancestor last year when he took the villagers to greet the new official of the parents, and the ancestor liked it very much, so he hung it here. ”
"I see......"
Han Lao Wu nodded and asked, "Then this Yixing County has a high surname?" ”
Su Qianyi groaned for a moment and replied, "I think it's called Lu Zai, and I have heard the old ancestor mention him." ”
"Lu Zai?" Han Lao Wu stood up and looked at the calligraphy and painting, thoughtful.
Seeing this, Su Qianyi couldn't help asking, "What, does the eldest brother also know this Lu Mingfu?" ”
Han Lao Wu turned around, shook his head and smiled: "I'm waiting for the Xiaomin to ascend to the fight, and I'm a foreigner, how can Xin know the parents of your county, my brother just thinks this name is a little familiar." ”
At this time, Su Yang'er suddenly felt excited, and suddenly remembered Lu Jingyuan, as if she had heard him mention the name Lu Zai somewhere, but she was dizzy at the moment, and she couldn't remember if he said it for a while, so she immediately asked Su Qianyi in a low voice: "This Lu Zai is also surnamed Lu, and Lu Jingyuan is also surnamed Lu, will he be Lu Jingyuan's uncle?" ”
Su Qianyi was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "The old ancestor said that this Lu Mingfu is an upright official, he was born to recognize people very accurately, he should not be mistaken, if the wicked person surnamed Lu has something to do with Lu Mingfu, how can Lu Mingfu allow him to do nonsense?" ”
"What's more, the surname Lu is also a big surname in Yixing, and there are not 100 households with the surname Lu, but there are dozens of households, so don't worry about it."
Hearing this, Su Yang'er felt a little relieved, the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and now she has completely offended Lu Jingyuan, for fear that he will retaliate, especially afraid of his family background, but no matter how big his father is, it is thousands of miles away, but this Yixing County Commander Lu Zairu has something to do with him, that is a terrible thing.
"Alas, the traverser is either the king and the hegemon, or the ruler of the world, I, the traverser, can't even fight a sesame official, just jump out of whomever can make my family ruined, pinch me to death is like pinching a little bedbug."
"No, I'm not as good as a little bug, and other people's little bugs may not be pinched to death, but they can be pinched to death."
For a while, Su Yang'er's mouth was bitter, and she felt a headache, Lao Wang's life and death were uncertain, and her whereabouts were unknown. ”
Su Qianyi listened, hurriedly helped her up, and said, "It's in the back room, I'll take you over." ”
Seeing that they had arrived in the back room, Mrs. Han asked, "Liangchen, do you know this Lu Ming Mansion?" ”
Han Lao Wu sighed when he heard this, and said: "There was a relationship with one side, and he was also a Shangguan in Beijing back then, but I didn't expect it to be reduced to this now." Mrs. Han nodded and said, "The official family is moody, it's hard to say, since you two know each other, why don't we ask him for help?" ”
Han Lao Wu categorically vetoed: "It's not appropriate, I am soft-spoken, and I don't have a deep friendship with him, if I go to ask him for help because of family matters, it is better for us to find it ourselves, I just hope that this old Mr. Su is really as powerful as the little brother said." ”
Mrs. Han snorted coldly when she heard this, and finally stopped talking.
