Since the early morning, people have been coming in and out of the Chu family's old house, some have come to deliver meat and fish, some have come to help move tables and chairs, and the group organized by the fat aunt has rushed to support the ladies and aunts of the Chu family's stove house.

Grandma Chu has a lot of opinions about Shen Luzhu spending five or six taels of silver and inviting people in the village to dinner. muttered to Grandpa Chu, they were all a group of idle people who came to see the excitement, how could they help anything, as for the people who want to be so excited to invite dinner? No one in the village has ever seen a daughter-in-law hold such a banquet, and they really won't live!

Grandma Chu didn't like it, so naturally it was impossible to come over and work together, not to mention cooking in the stove room, even receiving villagers in the courtyard, she didn't want to, but Shen Luzhu felt that this was not bad, she didn't care about the thoughts of the Chu family's grandpa and grandma for a long time, Grandma Chu didn't come out, but things went smoothly and comfortably.

Shen Luzhu's banquet was quite rich, the chicken, duck and fish meat were made all over the place, and the vegetables were also fishy, not to mention the good wine specially pulled back from the town, the banquet was placed from the middle of the afternoon to the west of the sun, and from the sunset until the Chu family's courtyard lit the lanterns, and the villagers were satisfied with the Chu family's thanks.

After this time, Chu Yi's prestige in the village was immediately raised, not that the people in the village just ate that mouthful, but the attitude of the little couple to do things, acting generously and reasonably, if there is anything that needs to be contacted with the Chu family, they naturally love to communicate with them first.

After a long time, people mentioned that they were talking about the Chu family's son and daughter-in-law, and when they talked about Shen Luzhu's paper money shop, they mostly talked about the Chu family's paper money shop.

Now it's very different, now the people in the village are talking about Chu Yi's paper money shop, and even when it comes to the Chu family, some people will say that Chu Yi, who opened the paper money shop, is his grandfather's house, it seems that overnight, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu suddenly became the representatives of the Chu family, and they have to mention them first, and it seems that overnight, everyone can understand that the current shop is Chu Yi's family, not the previous Chu family's shop!

The little couple doesn't have much feeling about this, whether it's the Chu family's paper money shop in other people's mouths, or Chu Yi and her Shen Luzhu's paper money shop, it doesn't matter how you say it, anyway, they know that in the end, the money is in their own pockets, isn't it.

They don't care, but some people care very much, Chu Fang is the most indignant one among them: "Haven't you heard what the village has been saying recently?" How can you stay so steady! Now people say that it is Chu Yi's shop, not Chu family's shop! If it goes on like this, we will want to go back to inherit it in the future, and I'm afraid we won't come back! ”

Chu Fang hated everyone in her heart, and wished that Uncle Chu and his family would go back to the old house to make trouble, and mess up Chu Yi's business, the best thing is to snatch the shop back directly, and then her mother's family will make money, can she still have a share of Chu Fang?

Even if she can't come over, she can add back to everyone, and she's worth it!

"Cheng Ri said that those are useless! Are you incomprehensible or stupid! How many times have I said that that broken background is an obstacle to Ah Ren's imperial examination! Don't I know it's worth a lot of money? But no matter how valuable it is, can it be worth a son who is an official of the imperial court? I can't figure it out! ”

Wang reprimanded Chu Fang loudly, but this was more like saying to herself and Uncle Chu, Chu Yi developed by buying paper money, and he regretted it the most in his heart, and the most unwilling was them, it should be theirs, it was the silver that they pushed away by their own hands!

But they can't think about it much, the more they think about it, the more distressed they become, and now they can only grit their teeth and stand up, always telling themselves that it will be good to wait for Chu Ren to come out, and there will be no amount of silver when the time comes!

"Chu Ren! Chu Ren! You know Chu Ren! In addition to dreaming of being a senior official in Churen High School all day long, what else will you do? I've heard people say, just in our Ningchuan Mansion, there are more people who study and take the imperial examination, and there are even more people who have won the show, like sesame seeds on the baked cake, so many people have a few who can become big officials, why can they be on Chu Ren! Instead of expecting Chu Ren to be an official, it is better to hurry up and ask for the shop, and count the silver of a hundred flowers every day! If it weren't for Chu Ren, our family would have developed a long time ago! ”

Chu Fang's words seemed to give Uncle Chu and his wife a slap in the face, yes, they never thought about what to do if Chu Ren couldn't be a big official, then all these years of dedication, as well as the coffin shop that was pushed out, and the fingers and points of the people in the village over the years, what is it!

"Auntie!"

Wang, who was thinking in a trance, suddenly felt as if he heard Chu Ren's voice, and just wondered if he was hallucinating, followed by another sound.

"Auntie!"

The three people in the house looked towards the door together, and Chu Ren, who had been away from home for a long time, was standing at the door of the hall at this time, and behind him was the Li family who was saluting with him in his hand.

"Ah Ren! Why did you come back from town? When will you get home? ”

Chu Ren walked straight into the house, glanced at Chu Fang, who was a little weak-hearted, before turning his head to Wang and saying, "I've been standing at the door for a while." ”

The three people in the room were shocked when they heard this, and stood for a while, that was not what they said just now, Chu Ren heard it!

"Ah Ren, don't listen to Chu Fang's nonsense, Ah Niang and your father are the most supportive of you, you will definitely be able to do it!"

Chu Ren did not immediately respond to Wang's words, but said to Chu Fang: "Chu Fang, go home first, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Ma family, your mind is more on the Ma family, think less about what you don't have, come back to see your father and mother another day!" ”

After Chu Fang left, Chu Ren took his wife Li again, and then sat on the chair in the hall and talked to his father and mother: "Chu Fang's words, my son heard it just now, Daddy and Auntie, let's go back to the old house." ”

Although Chu Ren's words are not very clear, Uncle Chu and his wife both understand that Chu Ren means that they will return to the old mansion, although the old mansion is good, the shop and silver are better, but Chu Ren's future is ......

The separation of the family has always been a piece of Uncle Chu's heart, before Chu Yi did not open this paper money shop, Uncle Chu regretted it countless times, not to mention that after knowing how profitable Chu Yi's shop was, it was just that it had been hindered by his son's future, and now that the eldest son himself mentioned that he wanted to return to the old house, Uncle Chu couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

Compared with Uncle Chu, the Wang family obviously regards Chu Ren as more important, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't like silver, so she asked hesitantly: "No, doesn't it mean that your background in making a coffin will affect your future career in the imperial examination?" ”

Chu Ren saw his father's reaction in his eyes, and his thoughts flipped in his heart, and after a long time, he finally spoke again when Wang was about to come forward to ask: "Daqian has always admired the children of commoners to study for the imperial examination, and every time a literati from a civilian background enters the court as officials, how can such a court restrict the future of students because of their background?" ”

Uncle Chu was a little confused by Chu Ren's words: "This means, it doesn't matter?" ”

Seeing Chu Ren nodding, Wang's eyes widened: "Then didn't Li Xiucai say that it had a great impact!" That's why we're dividing our home! ”

Chu Ren sighed slightly in his heart, if he had known that this would be the situation today, how could he let his parents be fooled, and he felt that he had benefited from the fisherman!

"That's because the Li family wanted to recruit me into the family at that time and deliberately deceived you, but I didn't expect our family to split up directly in the end, so I had to give up."

"But ......"

"Daddy and Auntie, the Chu family was a burden at the beginning! It's understandable that my son wants to leave them behind, but now it seems that it was a wrong decision to split up, not to mention that if my son continues to take the exam, it will definitely cost a lot of money, and I can't finally give up all my efforts because of the money! ”

Because of Chu Ren's words, Uncle Chu and the Wang family fell into an unprecedented shock, shocked that their family had been deceived by a lie of the Li family for so many years, and even more shocked that Chu Ren, who had always been gentle, polite and kind to others, still had such a face.

Wang suddenly felt that he had never understood the eldest son in front of him, who he had taken care of by himself!

Early the next morning, Shen Luzhu was boiling water in the stove room and preparing to make breakfast, when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open from outside the courtyard, and was wondering how Chu Yi could fetch water so quickly today, when he saw the eldest uncle Wang Shi pushing open the door of the stove room, and behind him was Uncle Chu, who was also haggard.

Seeing that it was Shen Luzhu himself in the stove room, Wang hurriedly asked, "Why are you here by yourself, your grandma?" ”

"Grandma has been unwell for the past two days, and she is still resting, and she has been ...... in the last few days."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Luzhu saw that the door of the stove room was directly "banged" and slammed slam shut!

Strange, what are the Wang family and Uncle Chu doing in a hurry to find grandma in the early morning?

When Chu Yi returned to the courtyard with water, he saw his wife in a very peculiar posture, putting her ears on the door of the main house, listening carefully with her eyes closed!

Chu Yi was afraid that he would suddenly come forward and scare his little wife, so when he deliberately put the bucket on the ground, he made a lot of noise, and sure enough, he saw his wife turn around and look at him, so he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" What are you listening to? ”

Shen Luzhu saw that Chu Yi was back, and hurriedly pulled people into the stove room: "Chu Yi, just now you were not there, the eldest aunt came over, pushed open the door of the stove room to find grandma, and saw that the person was not there, and went directly into the main room to find it, grandpa and grandma are afraid that they haven't gotten up yet!" ”

"So early?"

"yes!" Shen Luzhu nodded: "The point is, the uncle is also following behind, the two of them came to Grandpa and Grandma together so early, and I don't know what the urgency is!" ”

"So you're going to eavesdrop?"

Shen Luzhu covered his mouth and smiled: "Hey, hey, hey, curious!" ”

Chu Yi reached out and touched his wife's cheek, and when he saw that it was a little cold, he simply warmed her with his hand: "It's not too cold." ”

"It didn't take long for you to come back. Otherwise, I'm going to get up and come back, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I was caught in a while! ”

Chu Yi finished warming his wife's face, held her hands again, held them in the palms and continued to warm them: "What did you hear?" ”

Shen Luzhu shook his head: "It's too far away, I can't hear what is being said inside, I just know that grandpa and grandma seem to be on fire, but think about it, before they get up in the morning, the uncle and the aunt break in, and everyone will be angry!" ”

The prepared breakfast was all on the table, and I didn't see Grandma Chu and others coming out of the main room, Shen Luzhu couldn't but stand under the window and shouted twice: "Grandpa and Grandma, it's time for breakfast!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Grandma Chu pushed open the door and said to Shen Luzhu: "You eat first, just keep some for me and your grandfather!" With that, he closed the door of the main house again.

On this day, it wasn't until after breakfast and sending Chu Li to school that Shen Luzhu was about to open the shop, and the door of the main house was finally opened, and the four of them walked out of the house one after another.
