Chapter 681: Attacking the Heart
The world cares about the family, especially the old ladies of the wealthy families, he is worried that they will look down on Sister Xiu'er and give her grievances.
Mr. Xia smiled: "Don't worry, help me send the copper tripod to Zhuangzi first." ”
Mr. Xia looks down on Luo Wu very much, but he likes to get along with Luo Wu very much, and it is very fun for him to break the self-esteem of this young man a little.
Luo Wu had no choice but to promise to send a copper tripod to Mr. Xia.
The copper tripod is very large, at least more than two hundred catties, such a copper tripod poured with auspicious clouds and immortal beasts cannot be bought without a few hundred taels of silver.
Luo Wu knew that this thing was valuable, and he was very careful when he moved it, for fear that he would break other people's things.
Mr. Xia smiled beside him: "Brother Wu doesn't have to be so careful, it's just a copper tripod of a thousand taels of silver, I didn't want to buy it originally, but today on the winter solstice, Mrs. wants to follow the ancient etiquette and eat a meal of copper tripod roasted venison, so I bought a new copper tripod." ”
In a word, it almost made Luo Wu's footsteps unsteady and fell to the ground, but fortunately he reacted quickly, turned around, and then used his shoulder to support him, and put the copper tripod on the horse's back.
It was cold, but he broke out in a cold sweat...... A thousand taels of silver to buy a copper tripod just to eat a meal?
It's been almost a year, and he still can't understand the life of this wealthy family...... Is it really the difference between cloud and mud?
Mr. Xia hurriedly walked a few steps over to help Luo Wu, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Brother Wu?" But feeling unwell? ”
Luo Wu shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”
After that, he took out the rope and tied the copper tripod with the horse's body, and then took the horse's reins and walked first.
Mr. Xia said to the coachman: "Untie the mule and bring it back, and the cart will be thrown here." ”
The coachman said: "Master, countrymen love to be greedy and cheap, what if the car is carried away?" ”
Mr. Xia said very boldly: "It's just a car frame, less than thirty taels of silver, if you lose it, you will lose it, and it is serious to go back to Zhuangzi for the festival quickly." ”
"Huh." The coachman responded, and after untying the mule, he led the mule to follow Luo Wu.
Luo Wu listened to their conversation, his head lowered more and more, and the thirty taels of silver were thrown away, which was his fortune for nearly a year.
After walking for two quarters of an hour, they came to the Xia family's Zhuangzi.
The Xia family's Zhuangzi is very large, which is very different from the Zhuangzi that Luo Wu thought, there is no farmland in this Zhuangzi, there are only lotus ponds and streams, and water pavilions.
In spring, summer and autumn, the whole Zhuangzi will be full of flowers of various colors, explaining the precious varieties, there is a kind of orchid I heard that a pot can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, it is really expensive.
In the middle of the Zhuangzi, there is a seven-entry mansion, the house is carved with beams and paintings, and there are precious jade bottles in the flower hall where the guests are entertained.
When Luo Wu first came, he almost broke the green jade bottle in the flower hall, which scared him a lot, but Mrs. Xia said that it was just a thing of less than a thousand taels, and if it was broken, it would be broken.
He never knew that the Xia family was so rich, and Mr. Xia said that their Xia family was just a wealthy family, and the ornaments of the first-class family were called precious.
"Brother Wu is here?" Mrs. Xia greeted her, supported by two big maids on the left and right, followed by four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, and the old grandmother of the Xia family.
When she first came to this Zhuangzi, Mrs. Xia once pointed to the maid behind her and said: "Sister Xiu'er has a top-notch appearance and excellent temperament, she should be a family wife and live such a life of being surrounded by maids." ”
also asked him: "You don't want to embroider your sister and live a life of farming." Where did she live those days? Sister Xiu'er is so outstanding, if she lives a farming life, she will really be ruined. ”
Luo Wu doesn't want to spoil Sister Xiu'er, Sister Xiu'er should live the life of a rich young lady, get up every day to have a maid to freshen up and dress up, don't have to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, just go to the elders to say goodbye, and when you come back, you can rest by sending your husband who is an official out of the house.
When I have a child in the future, I will teach the child at home, talk to the child, and when I am tired, there will be a grandmother and many maids to take the child, and she doesn't need to do it herself.
As long as she sat in the gorgeous and spacious room, teased the children from time to time, and did needlework, the day was over.
Mrs. Xia described to him the days when Sister Xiu'er married the son of the family, and those days were so beautiful that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
He can't give Sister Xiu'er such a life...... He is just a farmer, a servant, and he works hard every day, often unable to go on a business trip on time, and cannot take good care of his embroidery sister.
When it is hot, he is always sweating, and the smell of sweat is so heavy that people cover their noses, how can he be worthy of Sister Embroidery?
He has always been a little loach in the quagmire, but Sister Xiu'er is a crane flying in the sky.
"Mrs. Xia." Luo Wu's mouth was full of bitterness, and after shouting Mrs. Xia, he untied the rope that tied the copper tripod and moved the copper tripod down and put it in the flower hall: "Madame's tripod, put it here for you." ”
After speaking, he turned to look at Mr. Xia, who was walking slowly: "The copper tripod has been delivered, can Mr. tell Luo Mou, the conduct of that Jiangnan family?" ”
Mr. Xia smiled and beckoned Luo Wu into the flower hall: "Sit down first." ”
He said to Mrs. Xia again: "Let the subordinates bring the silver silk charcoal, cut the venison and serve it, while Brother Wu is here, let's have a meal of roasted venison together." ”
"Yes, the concubine will arrange it." Mrs. Xia didn't have it at all, she only turned her head to the big girl beside her and said, "But the head heard it, hurry up and do it, and within a quarter of an hour, bring the venison and good wine." ”
"Yes, slave and maid obey." The big maid responded, and ordered the two little maids, and the three of them hurried to work.
Luo Wu looked at it, and his heart became more and more humble...... This is the style of the family, the ladies don't have to do anything, they just need to tell the maids, and even the big maids don't need to do something, just tell the little maids below to do things.
If Sister Xiu'er follows him, she will have to be like those little maids who work, and she has to do everything at home.
She should live a good life as a rich lady, how can she cook for their family in the kitchen? Or even go to feed the pigs and chickens?
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Wu felt that he was unworthy, and felt that he was harming her if he wanted to marry Sister Xiu'er.
After Mrs. Xia finished instructing the maids, she did it and said to Luo Wu: "Brother Wu wants to know about the Zhan family?" ”
Luo Wu was stunned and asked, "The person who came to intercede with Sister Xiu'er is the Zhan family?" ”
Mrs. Xia nodded, but she said very smartly: "In addition to the Zhan family, there are also two old ladies from the capital who think that Sister Xiu'er is very good and want to intercede for their grandson." It's just that the Zhan family is your Uncle Xia's friend's family, and this time I came to visit your Uncle Xia by chance, and after learning about Sister Xiu'er, I felt that she had the demeanor of a noble girl, so I wanted to marry her. ”
