Chapter Seventy-Three: Falling into the Lake
It just so happened that Lu Yu and Shu Chen hadn't left yet, and seeing Shu Ning pestering Li Daniu for a skirt, Shu Chen frowned slightly, pulled Shu Ning aside and said, "Cousin, didn't grandma say that this time the Li family spent a lot of money to let you save some." ”
"What's the matter with you?" Shu Ning broke free of Shu Chen's hand and said, "Now that you have been admitted to Xiucai, you have started to take care of your cousin's affairs, right?
Lu Yu: "......"
After Shu Ning entered the store, he said in an unkind tone: "I'll try this lotus pink dress." “
The guy glanced at her and said, "I'm sorry girl, the clothes in the small store are all ready-to-wear, and they are all made according to the most slender size of the woman, you can't wear it, if you like it, I can make you the same one according to your size." ”
Shu Ning blushed when she heard this, she was not too fat, but she had a large skeleton, even if there were not a few taels of flesh on her body, it couldn't change the fact that she looked strong.
But the guy didn't look at her very well, and pointed to Lu Yu and added: "If this girl wears it, it should be just right." ”
"What are you talking about?!" Shu Ning gritted his teeth and was pulled away by Li Daniu, who felt ashamed.
Before leaving, Li Daniu glanced at Lu Yu deeply, and his heart was full of deep remorse.
-
This unpleasant episode passed quickly, and after the wedding dress was changed, Shu Ning and Li Daniu's family affair was scheduled for mid-September, which happened to be the opening of Shuchen School in September.
The Shu family is happy, and the Shu Wang's happy body is much better.
Li Mei's first daughter got married, and wanted to prepare more dowry for her, after all, the dowry of the girl's marriage also affected her status in her mother-in-law's family, and when she didn't want to find Shu Wang's family, Shu Wang's family left most of the silver to Shu Chen for the future examination, and Shu Wang used it when he grew up to go to school, and when he heard Li Mei's request, he frowned and said: "The dowry will come according to the old rules of our village, and I can't treat Xiao Ning badly, so this silver will be left to my two grandsons." ”
The Shu Wang clan had already exchanged the gold ingots for a few hundred taels of silver, and at this time, they were calculating how much to bring to the academy for Shu Chen.
When Li Mei saw it, she couldn't help but open her mouth sourly: "If Achen continues to spend like this, Wang'er doesn't know if there is such a good life when he grows up." ”
Shu Wangshi glared at her: "With so much silver, how much can Ah Chen spend? Besides, don't forget who picked up Gongzi Xie! Don't worry, I hope that I can be admitted to Xiucai in the future, and the silver is indispensable to him." ”
Li Mei was speechless angrily, after leaving the Shu Wang family's hall, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, looking at Shu Chen's house, she suddenly wanted to reason with this kid.
Isn't he a scholar? He should remember how well his cousin treated him all these years.
"Dust, are you there?"
"Dusty ......"
Li Mei pushed open the door, but saw that Shu Chen's house was pitch black, and the person was gone.
Shu Chen was walking with Lu Yu by the lake at this time, Shu Chen was about to go back to school, Lu Yu was a little reluctant to him in his heart, and the two of them gossiped without a word.
"Xiao Jiu, it may be a few months before I go back to the school, what are you going to do?
"I ...... I want to leave your house for a while and come back later. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Yu didn't answer, it hadn't been a few years since the Lu family came to pick her up, and she wanted to go to the county seat to learn what she had to learn.
She didn't say anything about Shu Chen and didn't ask much, leading her to sit down from the lake and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it, but Xiao Jiu, aren't you going to clean up my uncle?"
Lu Yu said calmly: "You are their best retribution now, I don't want to focus too much energy on them, of course, if they don't know what to do......"
Cleaning them up now is easier than crushing an ant.
Neither of them was answering, Lu Yu stared at the sparkling lake, and suddenly remembered in his mind that Ah Chen was thrown here and drowned in the previous life.
Lu Xinxia inexplicably felt uneasy: "Ah Chen, will you come to the lake less in the future?"
"Why?"
Lu Yu didn't know how to tell him, saying that he was afraid that he would fall? It was too strange, he was not a three-year-old child.
"Ah Chen, did you say that people who can't be watery fall from here, is there a chance of survival?"
Shu Chen: "......"
It seemed that he had long been accustomed to Lu Yu's inexplicability sometimes, Shu Chen followed her words and said: "I don't know, if you're afraid that I'll fall, I won't come to the lake in the future." If you're afraid you'll fall yourself, I'll learn to swim tomorrow. ”
“...... That was not what I meant. ”
"It doesn't matter what you mean. The young man suddenly turned his head, looked at her seriously, and said, "Xiao Jiu, sister, just tell me directly if you think anything in the future, I will listen to you, and I won't think you are very strange." ”
Lu Yu looked at the boy in front of him in a daze, the moonlight was like water on his still immature face, but his speech and demeanor made Lu Yu unable to treat him as a child of the same age.
His sensibility and thoughtfulness made Lu Yu feel an inexplicable urge to cry.
Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Then let's say okay, don't come to the lake in the future." ”
"Good. ”
-
After returning home, Lu Yu was always uneasy, that night, she had a dream, dreaming that in the previous life, Ah Chen was pressed into the lake in front of Shu Duofu and Li Mei and his wife, and he was pressed into the lake with a hideous expression, and struggled for a while, and his small body slowly sank......
I don't know how long later, she dreamed that she was tied to a pillar and gouged out her eyes, but she could see inexplicably that there was a slender man in white standing in the crowd, walking through the crowd, looking at her with a complicated expression.
When he first woke up from the nightmare, Lu Yu was shocked into a cold sweat, and an indescribable and mysterious feeling appeared in his heart.
It's just a dream, right?
-
In a blink of an eye, it was approaching the day when Shu Chen went to school, and the day before, Shu Wang stuffed half of the family's silver to Shu Chen: "Study hard, grandma is waiting for you to come back with the exam." ”
On the same day, even many families in the village came to send some rice and noodles to eat, and Lu Yu prepared his luggage, preparing to leave Shu's house for a while after Shu Chen left.
In the afternoon, Lu Yu was about to ask Shu Chen for some things, but he heard Widow Shu say that Shu Chen had gone out.
Lu Yu didn't care, he didn't think that in the evening, Shu Chen still didn't come back.
Shu Wangshi couldn't sit still: "Ming'er will go back to the school, where is this?"
Li Mei, who had just been breastfed on the side, said unhurriedly: "A Chen is such a big person, it is estimated that he will come back in a while, let's eat first." ”
The Shu family had dinner, but they didn't see Shu Chen come back for a long time, Lu Yu couldn't sit still, got up and was about to go out to look for it, when he saw the village chief running in a hurry.
"Oh no, your family's dust has fallen into the lake. ”
