Chapter 31: Lu Erniang's decision

The sudden farce made the three members of the Lu family not in the mood for the holiday, and this Mid-Autumn Festival was hastily passed. Although Lu Erniang and Lu Hong, who came back, did not say anything about the county government, Lu Xianger saw from Miao Jiu, who was in front of her, that Sister-in-law Zhang would not dare to come to find trouble from now on.

What Lu Xianger didn't expect was that since the end of the sister-in-law Zhang incident, their Lu family has obviously become an 'outlier' in Qinghe Village. Except for the Zhao family, who also interacted with the Lu family as usual, most of them hid far away after seeing the three members of the Lu family, and pointed fingers at each other in private. Obviously, in this day and age, it is not a fact that a man stays in a 'widow''s house for so long, which is not acceptable to the average person.

Lu Erniang is also a woman in this era anyway, her heart is strong, and she can't stand being judged by others. When Song Yuan was left at home to recuperate, Lu Erniang did it out of a desire to repay her kindness and didn't think much about it. Lu Hong's mind was all on Song Yuan's experience, and he didn't expect it. Lu Xiang'er is a soul that does not belong to this era, not to mention much. Therefore, it is inevitable that Song Yuan was discovered, and finally caused such a situation. After thinking about it for a few days, Lu Erniang finally made a decision. can think about her pair of children, she still wants to discuss with Lu Hong and Lu Xianger before making a final decision.

"What, A-Niang, do you want to move to the county?" Just after dinner, Lu Erniang cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the house, and proposed to Lu Xianger and Lu Hong to leave Qinghe Village.

Hearing Lu Erniang's decision, Lu Xianger instantly felt a kind of 'reluctance'. This is the warmest and happiest home she lived after coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty. And there's also her unfermented fruit wine. This time, what can I do with these fruit wines, this is all white flowers.

Compared with Lu Xiang'er's 'reluctance', Lu Hong understood the reason why Lu Erniang wanted to leave Qinghe Village. To be honest, going back and forth between the school and Qinghe Village, Lu Hong naturally listened to a lot of gossip, and he was also uncomfortable in his heart. Even if Lu Erniang didn't put forward this idea today, Lu Hong also faintly had this meaning in his heart.

It's just that Lu Hong, like Lu Xiang'er, is reluctant to be here. In this small farm yard, Lu Hong spent three very happy years. But for the sake of his mother, and his sister who is going to marry in the future, Lu Hong, who put down the book in his hand, nodded very seriously and said, "Auntie, do you need me to ask for leave to help you find a house?" ”

"No, I'm not in a hurry to move, I'll just look for it slowly." Lu Erniang saw the performance of Lu Hong and Lu Xianger, and her heart was slightly relieved. It can be seen that Lu Xiang'er's distressed expression is not known there.

With a smile, Lu Erniang deliberately rubbed Lu Xiang'er's face with her slightly rough hands, and said with a smile: "Look at your little face is crowded together, A-Niang knows your little thoughts." A-Niang promises you that you must find a house with a big yard and let you make wine. As for the house here, A-Niang will not sell it. When Xiang'er wants to come back, let's come back and see. ”

"Really, A-Niang, you're so nice." Lu Erniang thought about it so thoroughly, so that Lu Xiang'er swept away her previous depression, and hugged Lu Erniang and was happy. In her heart, there was a feeling of being put in her heart, and this kind of emotion made Lu Xianger want to scream, it feels so good that someone is in pain.

The decision to leave Qinghe Village was unanimously approved by the three members of the Lu family, and Lu Erniang, who was in Mali, acted quickly. Busy with family affairs, Lu Erniang was not afraid to work hard to go back and forth between the county and Qinghe Village to find a suitable house. In the past three years of selling fruit wine, Lu Erniang has also met many people in Qingshi County. Although they are all shopkeepers in restaurants and restaurants, because of the relationship that the county Cheng secretly took care of, under Lu Erniang's inquiry, they were very enthusiastic to help.

Song Yuan, who was forcibly left at Ye Feng's house to recuperate, was able to learn the news after a long time. For the trouble he caused to Lu Erniang, he helped Lu Erniang find a new house despite the injuries he had just recovered. Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, this time Song Yuan was accompanied by Ye Feng's follower Ye Shun. Ye Feng couldn't come forward, but he also made a secret effort, which surprised Miao Jiu, who was observing carefully, again, thinking about Song Yuan's background.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Within half a month, Lu Erniang was on the edge of Qingshi County and fell in love with a courtyard. The main house is also a three-room blue brick house, and there is also a tiled house on each side. Excluding these houses, there is a circle of straw huts. As for the courtyard wall, it is not a fence but a brick wall, and it is still very high. You can't see the yard outside, which is what makes Lu Erniang the most satisfied.

It's a coincidence that Miao Jiu found this house. said that it was to make amends for Lu Erniang, and made a little effort. and made it clear that this courtyard was sold by the original owner, not by him. For this reason, Miao Jiu also asked the original owner to have an interview with Lu Erniang, and Lu Erniang knew that such a large yard was used by the original owner to specialize in raising pigs and selling them. Later, due to the war in Jiangnan, prices rose, and the owner had to sell the yard with money.

Lu Erniang was optimistic about the house, and she happily told Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er. Lu Hong doesn't care too much about where he lives, as long as Lu Erniang and Lu Xiang'er are satisfied. Lu Xiang'er's eyes were shining, and she wanted to take a look.

Lu Hong was very amused when he saw Lu Xiang'er's calculating look, so he said: "Auntie, there will be no classes in the school tomorrow, let's go and see the new home." ”

"Okay, don't you say it, I also want to take your brothers and sisters to see it." Lu Erniang took a good look at the house, and when she returned home, she began to pack up the clothes that were not worn in this season. Lu Xiang'er heard that she was going to see the house tomorrow, but she had to go to bed immediately. Lu Erniang and Lu Hong had no choice but to put down what they were doing and rest early.

On the second day, at the urging of Lu Xiang'er, Lu Erniang set up an ox cart and pulled Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er out of Qinghe Village early. Maybe it's the warm morning sun, or maybe it's leaving Qinghe Village, Lu Xiang'er is in a very good mood anyway. And when she saw the new house, Lu Xianger was even more pleasantly surprised.

As Lu Erniang said, the layout of this courtyard is almost the same as the home in Qinghe Village. It's just that the houses here are better than those in Qinghe Village, and the yards are four or five times larger. Looking at the spacious courtyard, Lu Xiang'er's mind suddenly appeared in the depths of her memory.

Although Lu Xiang'er has a vague memory of Lu Tai and Feng Sanniang, when she chatted with Lu Erniang, she had heard about this couple. After a long time, the image of Lu Tai and Feng Sanniang loving their daughters like their lives has also been imprinted in Lu Xianger's heart. Sometimes, Lu Xiang'er thinks of Lu Tai's wish to let the fragrance of Piaoxiang Wine Shop fill the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she will also fantasize about it. Because Lu Xianger also fiddled with wine in her previous life, and she also loved to study wine, which is really similar to Lu Tai.

When Lu Erniang was looking for a house before, Lu Xianger was a little worried about whether the house Lu Erniang found was still suitable for her to make fruit wine, and when she saw this yard at this moment, Lu Xianger suddenly had the idea of 'maybe she can also make grain wine and distilled wine'.

Finding Lu Xiang'er looking at the courtyard in a daze, Lu Hong was a little curious, so he came to her side and asked, "Xiang'er, what do you think about again?" ”

"Winemaking." Lu Xiang'er thought too much, and said what she thought in her heart, which made Lu Hong say funny: "You, you are really a little wine lady." You can't think of anything other than winemaking. ”

"You won't tell you." Lu Xiang'er ignored Lu Hong's ridicule, ran to Lu Erniang, who was carefully inspecting the houses and cleaning them by the way, and said very eagerly: "A-Niang, this yard is so big, can I continue to make wine?" ”

"Of course, the wine made by our Xiang'er is liked by so many people and can make money, so of course we have to continue to brew it." When Lu Erniang was looking for a house, she thought about why she would be the source of her livelihood in the future. In the end, she decided to fulfill Lu Xiang'er, which can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of her brother Lu Tai.

The Lu family is already a family of merchants, and at this time, the source of life is difficult, can they still think of making Lu Xianger a lady. Lu Erniang's plan in her heart is very simple, while Lu Xiang'er is still young, she wants to make more money. No matter what kind of family Lu Xianger can marry in the future, her rich dowry will not make any family look down on her.

Lu Xiang'er didn't know that Lu Erniang was thinking so far, and when she heard Lu Erniang's affirmation, she said happily: "Ah Niang, this yard is so big, let's build it well." Now I want to make not only fruit wine, but also grain wine. ”

"Xiang'er, do you really want to build a small winery?" Lu Hong was a little surprised when he heard Lu Xiang'er's words.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, all dynasties have ranked merchants last, which can explain the status of merchants in these eras. Lu Hong didn't want Lu Xiang'er to be laughed at in the future. In his heart, Lu Xiang'er is the best.

Lu Hong's concern was already expressed when Lu Xianger was making fruit wine. Lu Xiang'er knew that Lu Hong was worried about herself, but she didn't care. For the sake of her own goal, Lu Xianger decided to let Lu Hong understand her thoughts.

Looking at Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er said very seriously: "Brother, as long as we live comfortably, we don't care what others do." Moreover, I don't think there's anything wrong with being a trader. Merchants can make money, they can eat and wear without worry, and they can help others. If you can't eat or wear, even the princess has to find a way to make money; If we have money, we can help those who have been affected by disasters, and we can save many people, isn't it more respectable than being a lady? ”

"Xiang'er, ...... you" Looking at Lu Xiang'er who was talking eloquently, Lu Erniang was surprised, but she was very proud in her heart; Her fragrance has grown up.

Lu Hong couldn't imagine that Lu Xiang'er could say such profound words. He wanted to refute a few words, but for some reason, he couldn't find a sentence to say. In the end, he had to sigh lightly and agree with Lu Xiang'er's 'crooked reasoning' that Mr. Xuetang would definitely think.
