Chapter 67: Someone Comes
Chapter 67: Someone Came
The building is covered with water stains. The sleeves and socks were all covered with mud, but his face was elated, and his clear and transparent eyes were also dyed with a touch of excitement, and the haze of many days seemed to disappear at this moment.
Xiaoru prepared new clothes with a smile and pushed him to the bathroom to take a bath, but said with a smile: "Can this water pump be used?" ”
"The work is in a hundred years." Lou Yixian carefully put the drawings in a moth-proof sandalwood box, locked it, and said with a smile, "I remember that four years ago, Shandong Kong Youxi improved farm tools, manufactured a cultivator and an insect removal pulley, and handed it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for large-scale production, benefiting the whole country. Hehe, my lady's pump is definitely more influential than Kong Youxi's cultivator, so our family is waiting to sit on the cashier. ”
Xiao Ru smiled, seeing Lou Yi's smug expression, she vaguely felt a little happy in her heart, no matter if her father-in-law had any other problems for the time being, at least, this person would not feel that his wife could only teach her husband and children at home in peace, and she was not allowed to do anything, nor would she feel that if her wife made achievements and made money, she would be very faceless, but would feel honored - at this point, Xiao Ru really admired him.
It's just that Xiao Ru looked at his back as he happily went to bathe, but she couldn't help but think of the bad news that she knew this morning like a thunderbolt on a sunny day - Lou Cheng is back!
In fact, it is impossible for the Lou family to completely hide the news from Xiaoru, even if she is unwilling to listen to the corner and explore the news, but chatting with the small animals in her spare time has been a habit that Xiaoru has developed over the years, in the process of chatting. Naturally, she will talk about all kinds of affairs of the Lou family, which maid is diligent, which maid is lazy, which subordinate is loyal and honest, which subordinate is clever and smart, Xiaoru can see most of them clearly, which is also the main reason why she has little experience, but in Wuchang, she can still run a strict family.
Last night, Xiao Ru chatted with a few little mice living in the house while bathing, and by the way, she talked to Lou Yi and Ding Feng in the study, saying that Lou Cheng's family was escorted back to Beijing by the general Zhao Ting, and they could arrive in a few days at most......
What kind of international joke, she Gao Xiaoru is willing to accept being forced to leave home, it is Lou Yi who is her own mother-in-law, that is because Lou Yi is a normal person, or her husband who has been married since she was a child, and, in this era, a woman. Even if she is Gao Xiaoru, if she wants to be single for a lifetime, it is very difficult, very difficult, since Lou Yi is good, there is nothing wrong with living with him, of course Xiaoru will accept it.
But this does not mean that she is willing to let a so-called father-in-law who has abandoned his wife and children, has no responsibility, and is inexplicable, run to his own house to break their peaceful and happy life.
So, Lou Cheng can't come back!
He's back, what kind of identity is it? The master of the Lou family, the head of the Lou family? The family business that he worked so hard to earn back was inexplicably lost to a stranger? She Gao Xiaoru is not so idiotic, besides, listening to that, Lou Cheng has a You family who has always regarded himself as the wife of the main room, and besides, he has a son and a daughter, I am afraid that there is no original wife and Lou Yi in his heart, if he runs back to be in charge, how can there be a place for himself and his mother-in-law in the family?
However, how to deal with him is a problem, Xiaoru sighed, and felt that she had to probe her mother-in-law's tone first, and if her mother-in-law was willing, she could talk directly about her husband, her father-in-law. is already dead, that Lou Cheng is fake, anyway, so many people have died in troubled times, and the Lou family is all dead except for their own branch, it seems that Lou Yi is not a willing to admit his father, as long as his mother-in-law and Lou Yi's mother are determined, no one else can insist that Lou Cheng is his father-in-law.
Although Xiaoru thought so in her heart, she also knew that with her understanding of her mother-in-law, it was really unlikely that she would do so, she was a very traditional and kind woman, and even if Lou Cheng was ruthless and unrighteous, she probably wouldn't want her son to become an unfilial son who didn't recognize his father, but ...... Xiaoru gritted her teeth, can that Lou Cheng be considered a father? Abandoning his wife and son, causing his original wife to be blind, and his son almost died, such a person is like a beast, no, he even said that he was like a beast. That's an insult to brutes...... Either I will take the wolves to destroy him halfway, and save him from entering Beijing to harm his own happy life!
"Lady?"
Lou Yi took a shower and just returned to the bedroom, when he saw his daughter-in-law gritting her teeth, she couldn't help but be surprised, "What's wrong?" What do you think? ”
Xiao Ru came back to her senses, shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing." "Actually, if you think about it, it's not a big deal, now the money at home is in your own hands, and Zhuangzi is also Lou Yi. Even if Lou Cheng comes back, how many waves can he set off, I heard that he has fallen into the quagmire of rebellion, even if the saint finally looks at the old man's face, and does not punish the crime, the mother-in-law is also soft-hearted, the big deal is to buy a good house in the capital, and settle their family down, on weekdays, he will not exist, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, even if he accidentally starts a family fight or something, he stands aside, and he should watch the monkey show, can he still be eaten by an old man?
Put down your thoughts, have a good night's sleep, open your eyes is dawn, even Lou Yi got up early and went to the Gongsun Zhi Old Man's National Teacher's Mansion to discuss the matter of the water pump, Xiaoru didn't know.
The days of the New Year's Festival passed so lively, Xiaoru still read books every day, and when Lou Yi was away, she looked at the computer, aimed at the information, played games, and occasionally went to the kitchen to take Xiaoyan to make some fresh snacks, add meals to Fu'er and them, and occasionally coaxed the two new starlings to talk.
Not to mention, these two little things are very smart, Xiaoru is also the best at teaching animals, within a few days, they learned to respond simply, as a result, that elf look, is the old lady and Fu'er to see, every day, the old lady and Fu'er take them to the back mountain to slip around. also named the two of them, the male one is called Baobao. Mother's name is Beibei, all day long, Xiaoru listened to her mother-in-law Xiao Bao'er, Xiao Bei'er called her like this, so she didn't know, and thought that the old lady of the Lou family had added grandchildren.
However, these two don't like their delicate little cages and prefer to stay outside. Moreover, I am not afraid of a few large animals at home, and I like to play with them.
Maybe it's a curiosity about the new family members, the little monkey Duoduo is very interested in the two starlings, always on the head with two jumping up and down, obediently like a big brother, ignoring the courtesy of the two of them, occasionally annoyed, waving his paws to drive away, but, most of the time, ignore them.
And Xiaopan, as long as you don't hinder it from eating and sleeping, and the sky collapses, it won't open its eyes.
It was so smooth and smooth to the fifteenth day of the first month, the Shangyuan Festival.
On this day, Xiaoru took Xiaoyan and a few of her cooks to make a bunch of Lantern Festival with various flavors in the kitchen, including sugar, roses, sesame, jujube paste, meat and vegetarian, soup boiled, and fried.
Gongsun Zhi old man, Dr. Tang, the two closer elders, even got the best boxes, as for Ding Feng, it was simply at home and Lou Yi to eat together, but unfortunately, the two of them ate too violently, a little choked, Xiaoru gave them a Chinese medicine to strengthen the stomach and eliminate appetite, the Chinese New Year, the two of them watched others happily and prepared to go out to enjoy the lanterns, and they had to rub their stomachs to drink bitter soup, such a sad expression, it really made people feel a bitter tear of sympathy.
"Moniel, Xiaoyan, you two put on new clothes." Xiao Ru looked at it, the two girls looked very handsome, young and beautiful, but they were wearing a half-new dress, but they were a lot inferior, and Meng Nier, this girl, for convenience, actually pedaled a pair of straw shoes, which couldn't help but provoke Xiao Ru to fly over and roll her eyes, "Tonight, you two will all dress me up beautifully, and go out to see the lanterns...... If you fall in love with any wishful man, don't forget to let me know...... Hey, it's time to prepare a dowry for both of you! ”
"Young lady!"
No matter how bold and generous the two girls are, they should be shy about this kind of thing.
"What's so embarrassing, you don't see anyone on weekdays, don't take advantage of the present to take a good look, where can you find such an open opportunity in the future!"
Xiao Ru took a new pearl hairpin with great interest and put it on the two girls, after the New Year, Xiaoyan is sixteen, Meng Nier is seventeen, at this age, she will no longer be in her mother-in-law's family, and she will immediately become an old girl, although her mother-in-law wants to let one of them ration Gao Ran, and even very interested in Ding Feng, Xiao Ru doesn't think Gao Ran has anything good, she is too handsome, too easy to provoke peach blossoms, and so indifferent, which one is a life, looking for a husband, you still have to be gentle and considerate. Ding Feng is good, but the identity of the two girls is a little lower, although he thinks Meng Nier and Xiaoyan are very good, but the old man Gongsun Zhi is afraid that he is unwilling, as an elder, who doesn't want to give his child the best! Moreover, Ding Feng didn't see any thoughts.
Xiaoru pulled Fu'er and happily planned to enjoy the lanterns, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got out of the door, she saw a small and very dilapidated carriage coming in front of her. ”
Xiao Ru was stunned and hurriedly avoided it, and Meng Nier cleverly went to call Lou Yi out.
"Vice Admiral Lin?" As soon as Lou Yi went out, by the bright light at the door, he saw that the dusty coachman was the right and left hand that General Zhao Ting valued the most, and the deputy general Lin Rui couldn't help frowning, and said coldly, "Didn't General Zhao arrive in Beijing the day after tomorrow?" How did you come back early? ”
Lin Rui shook his head with a wry smile and lifted the curtain with his backhand.
