Chapter 360: Praise Him for the First Time
Wu You was in a hurry to drive Gu Baoying away from Lou's eyes, afraid that Lou would know that he was raising an outer room, but he was not just afraid that Lou would make trouble with him, but there were other reasons.
In short, in his opinion, this is a must-do.
As for how to do it, he quickly thought of a very effective method.
The owner of the tailor shop was originally working in the Shen family's splendid silk village, but for some reason, he offended Mrs. Shen Qi, and later left the silk village by himself, and opened a shop on this side of West Street with a craft.
It is said that Mrs. Shen Qi found someone to keep making trouble in his house, making him more and more unbearable.
At the beginning of the period, he could still carry it hard, but now that he is older, I am afraid that he will finally not be able to bear it, so he will sell this shop that was his hard work.
Now the shopkeeper is running away, but what if you say that this little lady Gu and this shopkeeper are actually relatives?
However, even if they have no relationship with each other at all, Wu You can force them to have some relationship.
After Wu You had this plan, he confidently studied at home, and it was not until near evening that he stretched his waist and said to Lou Shi: "I don't eat at home at night, so I'll buy a pot of good wine and ask my father to drink two glasses." ”
"Why did you remember to drink with your father today?" When Lou Shi heard this, he smiled.
"Hasn't we seen each other in a while? Besides, I miss my father, can't I? Wu You raised his eyebrows, his somewhat handsome face was also filled with a hint of a smile, and he looked at his wife and said.
"Okay, why not? You take this money, buy some good wine and food, your father has always valued you, and you can talk to him well. Lou Shi took the silver to him very intimately.
"Well, then I'll go first, you have a good meal with your son in the evening, and I'll try to come back as soon as possible." Wu You took the silver, said goodbye to the Lou family, went out to buy a few small dishes at the Gao family restaurant, bought two pots of good wine, and then went to the Lou family house on South Sesame Street.
The reason why this went to the Lou family's house was because Wu You was not looking for his biological father, but his father-in-law, Lou Wanfu, Lou's biological father.
But Wu You never said that he was "father-in-law", nor was he called "father-in-law", but always called him "father-in-law" very respectfully, and he did not get into trouble, but the Lou family did not feel that he was too flattering at all, and there was anything wrong with him, but thought that this was Wu You's face to the Lou family, and Wu You had the fame of showing talent, and the Lou family was still counting on him to come back in the future, so they valued him more.
And Wu You's family is poor, and his father and mother are all mountain people who have no money and no knowledge.
In his own words, no matter how filial and diligent he is to his father, he will not get the benefit of a penny, but since he married Lou, all the expenses for the imperial examination have been paid by Lou and his mother's family, so he should naturally be more attentive in front of Lou's mother's family.
Therefore, this is also the main reason why Wu You is afraid that the matter between himself and his cousin will be known by the Lou family!
He was not afraid that Lou would be sad, nor was he afraid that his cousin would be harassed by Lou, but that Lou's parents would no longer provide him with food, drink and education!
But this time, Wu You wanted to find trouble with Gu Baoying, and wanted her to be unable to open a tailor shop here on West Street, so she could only ask Lou's parents for help.
And this is because the Lou family is almost all doing things for Mrs. Shen Qi, the head mother of the Jiang family.
Lou's mother, Mama Ji, works as a housekeeper next to Mrs. Shen Qi, and her father Lou Wanfu is Mrs. Shen Qi's confidant and manager, and even Lou's eldest brother, Lou Chonglin, is far away in the capital, managing several dowry shops of Mrs. Shen Qi in the capital......
As for the Lou family, since she was eight or nine years old, she began to serve Mrs. Shen Qi, who was still the seventh lady of the Shen family at that time, and Mrs. Shen Qi treated her like a sister, until she married Wu You, Mrs. Shen Qi took pity on her, and then let her out, and now she is helping to manage a restaurant opened by her father.
The Lou family is very valued by Mrs. Shen Qi, and Mrs. Shen Qi has a big gap with the previous shopkeeper of the tailor shop, so if Mrs. Shen Qi teaches Gu Baoying a lesson, so that she knows some of the high ground and thickness, so as to dispel the idea of opening a tailor shop on West Street, this is the safest way!
As long as Gu Baoying no longer appears on West Street, then the matter between herself and her cousin will naturally not be revealed.
Wu You was deeply complacent about his plan.
Yes, he carried the wine and food, hummed a small tune all the way, and walked briskly to the Lou family's house.
Lou's house is a three-entry house, Wu You entered the second door, and went straight to the main room, at this time, Lou Wanfu was about to have dinner at home, when he saw him coming, he immediately surprised and happily beckoned him to sit down quickly, and asked the concubine Zhou to prepare dishes and chopsticks for him.
"I brought some wine and food, and I asked my aunt to find a plate to put all these small dishes on the plate, and then warm these two pots of wine." Wu You said politely.
"Okay, I'm going to get the plate! Please stay for a while! Zhou quickly entered the stove room, took a few plates, first put a few side dishes on the plates, and then went to warm the wine, and when the wine was warm, he quickly took wine glasses for the two and poured wine.
After all this was done, she smiled and said, "Uncle and Master have a meal, I'll go see the children." ”
Zhou has been carried into Lou's house for more than ten years.
She gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Lou Wanfu, she is only five years old this year, she is very loved by Lou Wanfu, she is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, her charm still exists, her hands and feet are diligent and very good at being a person, and even Mama Ji, who is in the main room, is very satisfied with her.
"Thank you for your hard work, auntie." Wu You said politely.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhou smiled and waved his hand again and again, and withdrew.
As a result, only Wu You and Lou Wanfu were left in the house.
The two touched a glass first and exchanged a few pleasantries.
Lou Wanfu is in his fifties this year, medium build, with a slightly fat round face, with a hint of goodwill that looks very honest and honest, he has a son and a daughter with Mama Ji, and it was not until he was in his thirties that he had Lou's family, because he was very fond of Lou's family, and he also attached great importance to Lou's husband Wu You.
At this time, he looked at Wu Youyi's talent, full of bookish anger, and couldn't help but think of what happened a while ago.
That's about the gamble, of course.
"How's your reading lately? Do you plan to play next year? Lou Wanfu asked with a concerned face.
"It should be over, Mr. Zhuang said, I will be out of the field this autumn, and the probability of passing the exam is extremely high." When Wu You said this, he had a look of pride on his face.
These words were said by Mr. Da Ruzhuang in the academy before the college took annual leave.
Mr. Zhuang does not praise people easily, and this is the first time he has praised him.
As soon as Lou Wanfu heard this, he immediately picked up his wine glass with a smile and said, "Come, first toast our future master here!" ”
"Don't you dare! Father, this really tormented me! I should have toasted you, if it weren't for my father's painstaking care, how would I be where I am today? Wu You said sincerely, then took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.
When Lou Wanfu heard this, he felt ironed in his heart, and he also took a drink.
He then poured wine for both of them, and said: "Seeing that you are so confident, I am relieved, you have always been steady and sensible, and this time you are the ...... who made a lot of trouble in the city with a gambling contract."
