The Lu family's conditions are much better now, and the oil lamp has long been banned, and it has been replaced with bright candles.

The old lady called Sun out of the kitchen, even the flowers were no exception, and the courtyard had already prepared incense and candles to offer the table, worship the moon god Niangniang, and pray for the safety of the family.

After worshipping the moon god Niangniang, the moon on the horizon is getting rounder and rounder.

Sun made a large table of dishes, and the dining table was placed in the courtyard.

In the center of the dining table is a large moon cake, the old lady is the oldest person, she uses a knife to cut the moon cake, divide it into several portions for everyone to eat, after eating the moon cake, is to eat while admiring the moon while chatting.

The old lady drank two glasses of osmanthus wine tonight, and now she was still a little dizzy, Lu Jiu sent the old lady back to the house and went directly to Lu Sidong.

"Fourth brother, do you know where the second brother is?" Lu Jiu was a little puzzled: "It's been half a month since the letter was sent, why haven't you replied?" ”

"The second brother is in Lin'an Mansion, not close to our Anshun Mansion." Lu Sidong glanced at Lu Jiu, and didn't know why his sister mentioned this matter, but he still answered honestly: "I spent a lot of money on the letter I sent to the letter, and it has only been half a month, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Isn't half a month long enough?

But after thinking about it, in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and even military letters needed to be delivered for a long time, not to mention the transmission of letters between ordinary people, and it was possible to not receive letters in two or three months.

Lu Jiu sighed: "I just miss the second brother, is the believer you are looking for reliable?" ”

The believers are usually a man with credit and insight in the township. They generally travel around a fixed province and along a fixed route, going to their hometown halls everywhere to receive and send letters to and from the villagers, sometimes by mouth. Believers are hard workers and do not earn much, they are "believers", that is, people who are trusted by everyone.

"Of course it's reliable, he sent all the letters from his family in the past." The coarse Lu Sidong comforted Lu Jiu for the first time: "Sister, don't worry, two months at most, the second brother will definitely be able to come back." ”

Lu Jiu snorted, when the house was built, she would compensate the second brother's family.

Early the next morning, Xia Ping'an brought his old friend Master Liu to Lu's house.

Master Liu looks like he is about forty years old, and he doesn't dress very well, but he doesn't seem to talk much.

After a brief introduction, Master Liu did not get close to Lu Jiu, but went straight to the topic: "How does Miss Lu want to decorate?" ”

Lu Jiu has always hated trouble, and he has a good sense of people like Master Liu, so he directly handed over a drawing: "Just decorate it according to this." ”

Master Liu took the drawings and looked at them, and then said to Lu Jiu: "Let's go to the shop first." ”

"Done."

Lu Jiu took Master Liu into the city, came to the shop, opened the door lock, and let Master Liu visit at will.

Master Liu wandered around the shop for a while, then took the drawings to revise and revise, and finally made a brand new drawing.

Lu Jiu is not a professional after all, and it is impossible to follow her drawings all.

Master Liu explained to Lu Jiu every time he revised it, and completely persuaded Lu Jiu, so he did what Master Liu said.

"Since it was introduced by Uncle Xia, I also trust you." Lu Jiu took out fifty taels of silver tickets and a key, and said directly: "These fifty taels are left for you to buy something, just keep an account of each expenditure, if it is not enough, ask me again, I will give it to you!" ”
