After listening to a story and drinking a stomach full of tea, Lu Xianger left the teahouse in a daze. On the way home, Lu Xiang'er didn't understand what kind of attitude Huo Qingsong asked her to come this time to show her.

In the end, seeing that she was about to come to the door, Lu Xiang'er had to assume that Huo Qingsong had not said anything to refuse, that is, the Song family should agree. After sorting out her mood, Lu Xiang'er entered the courtyard with a look of nothing to discover.

And when Lu Xiang'er was in the door and outside the door, Lu Erniang and Chaoxia, followed by Zao'er and Xiao Tao, were walking out of the main room quickly. When Lu Erniang raised her eyes and saw Lu Xiang'er, her anxious face immediately turned into surprise, but her language was unusually serious: "Xiang'er, where have you been?" ”

"I, I'm not going." When Lu Xiang'er saw Chaoxia's eyes towards her, she understood that Lu Erniang was angry, and hurriedly said haha: "A-Niang, I'll go and see the wine ......."

"No, come in with me." Lu Erniang's face was pale, and she didn't mean to let Lu Xiang'er get through the test at all. After finishing speaking, Lu Erniang turned around and entered the house, looking really angry.

Seeing this, Chaoxia sent the dates and peaches to the kitchen to cook. Then, she walked up to Lu Xiang'er and whispered, "Where have you been, don't tell the family." It's been more than an hour, and you don't know what your aunt is in a hurry. ”

"I just don't feel well, go out for a walk." When Lu Xiang'er heard the news of Chaoxia, she was even more sure that she couldn't let Lu Erniang know about it. And the only way to let Lu Erniang not know about this matter is for Lu Xiang'er to know about it herself, and not to tell anyone.

Lu Xiang'er lowered her head when she said this, and Chaoxia couldn't see her expression, so she really thought that Lu Xiang'er was uncomfortable because Lu Hong left home. With a slight sigh, Chaoxia said: "Then you should also tell Zao'er or Xiao Tao, otherwise it won't be like this." ”

"Sister Chaoxia, it's okay. I believe that A-Niang is also unhappy because her brother left home. Let A-Niang take this opportunity to vent now, and her mood will slowly improve. Lu Xiang'er smiled at Chaoxia, and bypassed her into the room.

Chaoxia was stunned by Lu Xiang'er's words, and watched Lu Xiang'er walk straight into the main room before retracting her gaze. Thinking back to what Lu Xiang'er said, a smile slowly appeared on Chaoxia's face, and she slowly walked into the kitchen.

……

Lu Xiang'er was severely reprimanded by Lu Erniang for an hour before she walked out of the room. Lu Xiang'er had already been mentally prepared, and there was no emotion such as sadness. And Lu Erniang, just like Lu Xiang'er said, after losing her temper, her thoughts about Lu Hong are not so strong. In the next two days, Lu Erniang's mentality slowly returned to the same as usual, and Lu Xiang'er also let go of most of her heart and concentrated on her own small wine shop.

Lu Erniang saw that the food used to make wine at home was almost used, so she took the initiative to go out to find food. Just when Lu Erniang's busy mood was getting better and better, Song Yuan, who hadn't seen him for two days, suddenly came to the door. Moreover, he also semi-forcibly took Lu Erniang out of the Lu family, and he didn't know where he went. At that time, Lu Xianger and Chaoxia were in the county restaurant, discussing the price of soju.

Seeing that Lu Erniang had not come back after being taken away for half an hour, Zao'er and Xiao Tao were a little anxious. The two discussed it for a while, and they were ready to go to Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia. Who knew that when they went out of the door, Zao'er and Xiaotao saw Lu Erniang walking back slowly.

"Lady, you are back, but the slave and maid are in a hurry. If you don't come back, the slave and the maid plan to find the little lady and the little lady of Chaoxia. When Zao'er saw Lu Erniang, her face was relieved, and she hurriedly stepped forward to express her anxiety to Lu Erniang.

Xiao Tao found that Lu Erniang was sluggish and didn't have any reaction to what Zao'er said, so she secretly pulled Zao'er and asked her not to say any more. Under Xiao Tao's prompting, Zao'er found that Lu Erniang was distracted, and immediately closed her mouth.

And when Lu Erniang saw the courtyard gate of her house, her eyes moved, but her expression remained unchanged. Standing at the door and looking at her yard for a while, Lu Erniang said softly: "Don't tell Xiang'er and Chaoxia, I just went out." ”

"The slave knows." Zao'er and Xiao Tao said in unison, and after getting up, they saw that Lu Erniang had already entered the courtyard and went directly to her own room.

Looking at the closed door, Zao'er and Xiao Tao glanced at each other, both a little worried. In the impression of the two girls, Lu Erniang has never appeared like this, even when Lu Hong left home, she was not so depressed.

Zao'er, who was relatively simple but had no idea, took Xiao Tao's hand and said very worriedly: "Sister Xiao Tao, you say, we really have to listen to the lady, don't you tell the little lady?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Tao hesitated, and she was a little undecided.

Like Zao'er, Xiao Tao was also a little worried about Lu Erniang. But Lu Erniang ordered it in advance and didn't let Lu Xiang'er tell it. If the two of them really said it to Lu Xiang'er, would they be disobedient girls? If she didn't say it, Lu Xiang'er would know about it in the future, would she blame the two of them?

Xiao Tao has been bought and sold several times, and all the previous masters were not as good as the Lu family to a girl like her. Sometimes, when she went out to buy vegetables, she also met the girls who bought and sold together before, and none of them had such a comfortable life with her and Zao'er. Therefore, Xiao Tao now wants to stay in the Lu family for a long time, and does not want to offend any of the owners of the Lu family, maybe he will be matched with a good family in the future.

"Sister Xiao Tao, you usually have the most ideas, you are talking." Zao'er kept looking at Lu Erniang's room, not noticing Xiao Tao's changing expression.

Xiao Tao looked at Zao'er, pouted secretly, and said, "Zao'er, the lady has already commanded, and we can't help but listen to it." In this way, if the little lady wants to ask, let's say; If she doesn't ask, we'll listen to the lady and say nothing. ”

"Oh." Zao'er was a little puzzled, but when she saw that Xiao Tao had already turned around and entered the kitchen, she nodded. But when she looked at Lu Erniang's room again, her expression was still so worried.

Like Xiao Tao, Zao'er is also grateful to God from the bottom of her heart for letting her meet such a good host. Usually, not only did he never beat and scold her, but he also allowed her to go home to visit her family in her free time. Recently, Lu Xiang'er knew that Zao'er's family had no land to plant, so she hired her brother to plant the newly bought land of the Lu family.

Now, the life of the family is quite good, and Zao'er's family is very grateful to the Lu family. Zao'er's parents made Zao'er loyal to the Lu family and work hard. When Zao'er's family has money, they can successfully redeem Zao'er's deed of sale.

Thinking of the instructions of her parents at home, her brother and sister-in-law, Zao'er, who usually didn't pay attention, suddenly showed a firm look. Having made up her mind, Zao'er's heart seemed to be much lighter. Even when I went into the kitchen to cook with Xiao Tao, I was in a very good mood. It looks like Xiao Tao is very inexplicable, but she despises Jujube's temperament.

At noon, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia walked into their yard while talking. After the two returned, they went directly into the small brewery to check the amount of shochu brewed. After a busy morning, the four major restaurants and restaurants in Qingshi County all decided to buy Lu Xianger's 'newly brewed' soju. Moreover, the price of this soju made Lu Xianger very satisfied, and Chaoxia admired Lu Xiang'er's means of doing business.

When she went out in the morning, Lu Xianger deliberately took two jars of soju, saying that it was free for those principals to taste. In this regard, Chaoxia and Lu Erniang were a little distressed about the money for these two jars of wine. But Lu Xiang'er resolutely did so, and said 'I can't give up the child, I can't hold the wolf', which made Lu Erniang and Chaoxia cry and laugh.

However, Chaoxia, who went out with Lu Xiang'er, watched it all morning and finally understood that what Lu Xiang'er said was right. If it weren't for the fact that the principals had tasted the shochu, the new sake might not have been sold for such a high price. In Qingshi County, the best rice wine is only 300 wen a bucket. But this soju is 600 wen a bucket, and it is still rushed by the principals of several shops.

"Xiang'er, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the richest man in Qingshi County will be surnamed Lu." Chaoxia looked at a room full of wine vats and seemed to see the day coming.

Lu Xiang'er shook her head and said with a smile: "Qingshi County is near the Yangtze River, and there are not many pedestrians passing by, but there are a lot. I can guarantee that in a few years, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty will know about soju. So, it will definitely get busier and busier day by day in the future. Fortunately, I told outsiders that this shochu is time-consuming and laborious, and it is available in limited quantities...... Zao'er, what's wrong with you? ”

Lu Xiang'er was talking happily, when she saw Zao'er standing at the door and probing her brain, her face still having a hesitant expression. Lu Xiang'er had never seen such a date, so she was very puzzled and couldn't help asking. Chaoxia had already sensed that there was someone outside the door, and thought that Zao'er was here to ask the two of them to eat, but she didn't expect that she seemed to want to say something to the two.

Seeing that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were looking at her, Zao'er mustered up some courage, walked in front of the two, and said softly: "Little lady, the lady originally didn't let the slave and maid tell you, but the slave and maid seemed to be a little wrong when they saw the lady......

Hearing that Lu Erniang's 'it seems that something is wrong', Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's faces changed, Lu Xiang'er took a step forward and said urgently: "Zao'er, what's wrong with my aunt, you tell me quickly." Don't worry, my aunt just knows and won't blame you, as well as me and Sister Chaoxia. ”

"Then the slave and maid spoke." Zao'er saw Lu Xiang'er asking, and comforted herself that this was the little lady who took the initiative to ask, and she could say it. Thinking of this, Zao'er raised her head and said, "In the morning, after the little lady and the two went out, Mr. Song came. He said a few words to the lady, and the lady went out of him. But after the lady came back, she looked a little like Brother Hong when she first left, and she was a little different. Anyway, the slave maid saw it in her eyes and felt that something was wrong with the lady. ”

As soon as Zao'er's words fell, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia had already walked out quickly. The two knocked on Lu Erniang's door and saw her staying on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking. When Lu Erniang came back to her senses and saw Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia's expressions, she understood what the two of them knew, so she said softly: "Mr. Song and General Huo left, and they returned to Beijing......
