At the end of the Spring Festival, Lou Xuanyi returned home, Lou Qihuai prepared a banquet early, and Fu Yuewei prepared a generous gift for Lou Xuanyi.

"Yi'er, you worked hard in the exam, and these thin gifts will be used as mother's foolish things to make amends to you for Cui's family." Fu Yuewei lowered her figure and personally presented a gift to Lou Xuanyi.

"How dare a son blame his mother." Lou Xuanyi took the gift, but he knew very well who made it.

Fu Yuewei turned her head and looked at Lou Qihuai cautiously, seeing that Lou Qihuai's face was still like ashes, she didn't say anything, just sat down quietly.

At the dinner table, Lou Qihuai vigorously served Lou Xuanyi vegetables.

"Yi'er, you must not have eaten well or slept well these days, hurry up and make up for it."

"Thank you dad for your care." Lou Xuanyi turned his head and filled a bowl for Lou Yunxiao, "Xiao'er, you must have been shocked and scared these days, now that Brother is back, no one will frame you, eat more." ”

Lou Yunxiao almost laughed out loud while holding the bowl, her brother was much more damaged than her, although she didn't mention that incident, she insinuated everything.

Chun'er and Lou Xuanzhuo, who were concentrating on eating, didn't know why, but they only felt that today's dishes were very delicious.

"Father, when I went out of the examination room today, I saw a candidate, and there was a red birthmark on the tiger's mouth, and I remembered that cousin Xuanqi also had a birthmark on his hand."

"Xuan Qi? He also came to take the exam. Lou Qihuai thought for a moment and remembered the past.

Lou Xuanqi is the only son of Lou Qiren, the second room of the Lou family, not long after the old lady of the Lou family passed away, the second room of the Lou family accused Fu Yuewei, the continuation of the string of the lady's misconduct, and then tore up the suicide note written by the old lady for money, blatantly snatched all the family property, and finally cut off the robe with the Lou family's big house in the family ancestral hall, and drove Lou Qihuai's family out of the ancestral house.

If it weren't for Lou Qihuai's later fame, their family wouldn't know where to drink the northwest wind now. But fortunately, it's all bittersweet now.

Two days later, three people dressed in coarse cloth appeared in front of the building.

The older man was of medium stature and looked somewhat similar to Lou Qihuai; The woman next to her was a little fat, but she was also convex and backward, and her appearance was gorgeous but she had a stock market atmosphere. The little Langjun behind them is not tall, and his appearance is mediocre.

"Mother, this seems to be impolite." Lou Xuanqi stood at the back in embarrassment.

"After all, they are also brothers in the same room, I don't believe that they can see death without saving." Liu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the second room of the Lou family was invited into the front hall.

"Oh, the houses in this capital are magnificent. If you want to say that the eldest brother has good luck, he has risen all the way in the past few years, and he has actually moved to the feet of the Son of Heaven. Liu turned left and right, his eyes shining.

But Lou Qihuai and Fu Yuewei looked at the family of three in front of them with disgust on their faces.

"What are you doing here?"

"Eldest brother, I was confused for a while, you have a lot, forgive us." Lou Qiren sat on the chair a little cramped.

"Lou Qiren, I'm afraid you have forgotten, you and I have cut off my robe in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Lou family, what eldest brother is not eldest brother, please be cautious." Lou Qihuai still can't forget how his second brother treated him back then.

Lou Qiren sighed and said: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I later did some small business, and I was also rich, but then I met an unkind merchant and took away all my money." I've always wanted to make a comeback all these years, but I can't do a yellow door, and I have no choice but to come to my brother. ”

"This is karma!" Fu Yuewei also said resentfully.

As soon as Fu Yuewei kicked Chu Yuxian out of the Lou family, the old lady Lou passed away, she was still pregnant at the time, and the second room of the Lou family kicked them out of the Lou house on the grounds of her disorderly behavior, and she didn't even leave them a penny. After so many years, she still remembers the days when pigs and dogs were worse than those two years.

"Sister-in-law, we were ignorant before, don't take it to heart." Lou Qihuai's body was getting more and more bent, and his voice was getting lower and lower.

"You don't have to be coy here, our Loujia Temple is small, and we can't afford your big Buddha!" Fu Yuewei said fiercely.

At this time, Liu, who had not expressed his position, said: "If the eldest brother and sister-in-law refuse to take us in, then we will have to beg along the street. With us doing such publicity for Dr. Lou, presumably the lady Lou who married the Zhao family and the lady to be married have no face to see people, oh yes, and Xuan Yi and Xuan Zhuo are also going to lose their careers. ”

Liu's is mean, she is the daughter of a merchant, she has a good calculation, she is determined to live in Lou's house today, if she can't achieve her goal, she can really beg along the street.

Lou Qihuai was so angry that he slapped the table case: "You dare to threaten the imperial court officials!" ”

Liu Shi was startled by this loud noise, and she quickly looked at Fu Yuewei, but the look in her eyes was not pleading, but threatening. She inadvertently lifted her cuffs, revealing the red jade bracelet she was wearing on her wrist, which was just right for Fu Yuewei to see.

"Since the eldest brother still holds a grudge, then we ......" Lou Qiren swallowed his saliva and prepared to get up.

Liu scolded secretly on the side: "Waste! ”

"Wait!" Fu Yuewei interrupted Lou Qiren's next words, "Huailang, if you really let them leave the mansion, I'm afraid that outsiders will think that we are selfish and cold, and we can't afford this stigma." It's better to let them live first, there is a partial courtyard in the northwest corner, which is enough for them to stay for a few days. ”

Now this family is the tofu that has fallen into the dust, and it can't be picked up or beaten, Lou Qihuai thought for a long time, suppressed his anger and said: "You were unkind back then, but now we can't be unjust, as long as you keep to yourself, Lou Mansion will have a place for you." ”

As soon as the second room heard that there was a play, he hurriedly thanked him, but Liu smiled at Fu Yuewei.

In Canglan Zhai, Lou Yunxiao slept until three o'clock in the morning, and Wuwu called her seven or eight times before pulling her off the bed.

Lou Yunxiao yawned, combed her hair listlessly, made the bed on the side, and took the wooden comb in her hand, "I heard from the servants just now that the second room family came to join the lord." ”

She also heard about what the second room of the Lou family did back then, "This family is just my cousin." ”

"It's just that the second room has moved in, and I don't know what will happen."

"I think the days to come will become more and more lively, Xuanqi's cousin also participated in the Spring Festival, if he passes the exam, he will be awarded an official, and the people in the second room can't live here all the time, and it will only be a shame for their son to spread it. But if he doesn't pass the test, how can my stepmother let them ride on their heads? The people in the second room have lived in the building for a short time, but I'm looking forward to the dog-eat-dog drama. ”

Carefree nodded as if she didn't understand, she only knew that what the third lady said was what it was.

"By the way, yesterday the front line reported that General Su and General Mu had defeated Bolu and Tubo, and they will return to the capital in a few days." Carefree seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped.

Lou Yunxiao smiled indifferently and patted her hands, "This is a good thing, why do you have such an expression?" Don't worry, your third lady is very strong in her heart, just a few rumors, if I go to my heart, and then get angry, wouldn't those people be even more proud. ”

She knew very well in her heart that she was just a little lady with a small portal, and Mu Lingci's noble status was unattainable. During this time, she had already planned a way back for herself, and in the future, let her brother find the right person for her, and live this life in peace.

But Mu Lingci strengthened his heart even more in the rain of guns and arrows. Since leaving the capital, he can see the figure that hooks his heartstrings in his dreams every day, so bright, so alluring, but always untouchable, both distant and vague.
