Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu sent Lou Xiao'e back home, he turned around and left without entering Lou Xiao'e's house. After all, he sent Lou Xiao'e back a little late, and he was afraid that Tan Yali would look at him with malicious eyes again.

After Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu parted ways, they walked home happily. As soon as she entered the house, she saw her parents sitting in the living room waiting for her. Lou Xiao'e smiled and greeted her parents: "Dad, Mom, I'm back. Have you eaten? Is there any food left? I'm starving."

Lou Bancheng looked at his daughter lovingly and said, "There's still food, so hurry up and eat. Your mother and I haven't eaten yet. We're waiting for you to come back and eat together. Where's Xiao He? Why didn't he come in with you?"

Lou Xiaoe said directly: "After he sent me home, he left immediately. His sister was still alone at home, so he had to go home quickly, so he didn't come in to tell you."

Lou Xiao'e sat at the table, picked up her bowl and started eating. Tan Yali looked at Lou Xiao'e who was eating quietly and asked curiously, "Xiao'e, Xiao He, didn't I say I would take you to choose jewelry? Where are the jewelry you chose?"

Lou Xiao'e said without even looking up, "It's in my bag, Mom. If you want to see it, go and see it yourself. By the way, why don't you eat it, Mom?"

Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about your mother. She said she has gained weight recently and wants to lose weight so she plans to skip dinner. Xiao'e, eat slowly. No one will snatch it from you."

Tan Yali opened Lou Xiao'e's bag with a smile. When she saw the pair of imperial green bracelets inside, she couldn't help but exclaimed. She quickly took the bracelets to Lou Xiao'e and asked, "Xiao'e, is this the bracelet Xiao He gave you?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was eating, looked up when she heard the voice and said happily: "Yes, Mom, this is the bracelet that Brother He gave me. How about it, it's beautiful, right? Is it better-looking than the bracelet that grandma passed down to you?" After saying that, Lou Xiao'e continued to lower her head to eat.

Tan Yali looked at her daughter who was only busy having fun, and said seriously, "This pair of bracelets is better than the ones your grandma passed down to me. Xiao'e, do you know how much this pair of bracelets is worth? This pair of bracelets costs at least 1 yuan, and you may not be able to buy them even for this amount. Where did Xiao He get so much money to give you such a good bracelet?"

After listening to this, Lou Xiao'e swallowed the food in her mouth, looked at her mother Tan Yali calmly and said, "Mom, you don't have to be so nervous. I know what you mean. Brother He has been the director of the canteen for less than half a year. Even if he moved all the things in the canteen back home, they would not be worth so much money. So Brother He must have other ways to buy these things, but Brother He didn't tell me. I think he will definitely tell me after we get married. I believe in my Brother He."

Lou Bancheng looked at the bracelet in Tan Yali's hand and said calmly, "Wife, you don't have to worry too much. Xiao He's family has been cooks for generations, so they must have saved a lot of money. Two of the three people who came to propose marriage are He Yuzhu's teachers, and one of them is called He Yuzhu Antique Knowledge. I have talked to that person, and he is very proficient in antiques. Maybe it was bought with the money He Yuzhu earned from finding bargains in the antique market. Besides, just like Xiao'e said, Xiao He has only been the canteen director for half a year. In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't interfere with the canteen's purchases. His money must have come cleanly, but it may not be convenient to say."

After hearing what her father Lou Bancheng said, Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement and said, "Dad still understands the situation. Mom, you can rest assured now, right?"

Tan Yali finally felt relieved after hearing what Lou Bancheng said. She put the bracelet back into Lou Xiao'e's bag and told her, "Xiao'e, don't take out the bracelet Xiao He gave you if you don't have anything to do. The situation is different now."

Lou Xiao'e mumbled with food in her mouth: "Okay, I get it, Mom."

Tan Yali looked at Lou Xiao'e who was wolfing down her food and couldn't help but smile and said, "Eat slowly. No one is going to snatch the food from you. You are a grown-up girl who is about to get married. The way you eat doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all."

Lou Xiao'e swallowed the rice in her mouth, drank a bowl of soup and said, "I'm finally full, Mom. Even a lady from a noble family has to fill her stomach first when she's hungry. Besides, I'm at home now, not at a party outside. Mom, Dad, I'm going upstairs. You guys should go to bed early after eating." After saying that, Lou Xiao'e carried her small bag and walked downstairs.

Tan Yali looked at Lou Xiao'e's back and said with a smile: "Old Lou, Xiao'e is the same. She is about to get married, but she is still like a child."

After listening to Tan Yali's words, Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "Our Xiao'e is just a child. If Lou Xiao'e didn't like Xiao He so much, I wouldn't have married Xiao'e off so early. I would have waited for a few years at least."

Hearing this, Tan Yali jokingly said, "Since you are reluctant, then don't agree to Xiao'e getting married like this!"

Lou Bancheng said helplessly, "Forget it. They say that girls should not be kept when they grow up. If they are kept, they will become enemies. Since Xiao'e has met someone she likes, let her get married early."

After He Yuzhu finished sending jewelry to Lou Xiao'e, his main focus then turned to the preparations for the wedding. Although there was a food stamp system, there were still ways around it. As long as he put in some effort, he could still buy things. However, He Yuzhu had to be careful about the impact of his cadre status, not to mention that the bride, Lou Xiao'e, was the eldest daughter of a capitalist. It seemed that he had to keep it simple and low-key, and not be too high-profile and make others jealous. If they reported him, it would be really disgusting.

It is quite troublesome to hold a wedding these days. If you want to hold it simply, it would be too easy. He Yuzhu didn't have many relatives and friends in Sijiu City. When Wu Baotian, Guan Xuezong and Cai Quanwu came to propose marriage, Lou Bancheng directly stated that no relatives of the bride would come on the day of Lou Xiao'e's wedding. Then the main guests on the wedding day would be the master's family Wu Baotian's family, master Guan Xuezong, cousin Cai Quanwu's family and some neighbors in the courtyard. At that time, master and cousin would be arranged in the house, and the neighbors in the courtyard would just sit in the yard.

Since it was his wedding, such a happy event, he would let the neighbors in the courtyard take advantage of it. Although according to the rules of the courtyard, only one person from each family could attend the wedding banquet, which was a rule that he could not change. After all, not everyone's family conditions were so good that they could afford to hold a wedding banquet, but He Yuzhu still decided to give some benefits to other neighbors. On the wedding day, He Yuzhu would arrange for the chef to make a big pot of pork stewed with vermicelli. At that time, everyone in the courtyard who could not attend the wedding could eat as much as they wanted. Anyway, he had the blessing land and cave as a backing, so he just had to prepare more pork and vermicelli.

As the largest supplier of live pigs in the black market of Sijiu City, He Yuzhu was still stumped by pork. If he was not afraid of the bad influence, He Yuzhu could let everyone eat pork directly to their heart's content. At that time, he would have to trouble his master Wu Baotian to help hire a chef, and the shopping for vegetables could be handed over to his cousin Cai Quanwu. He only had to ride his bicycle to pick up Lou Xiaoe from her home peacefully.

In a blink of an eye, a month passed. On this day, He Yuzhu came to Lao Wu's house as agreed to pick up the things he had commissioned Lao Wu to make. After seeing He Yuzhu, Lao Wu took him into a room. Lao Wu pointed to the box in the room and said, "Young man, all the things you want are in this big box. I think you have to go out and find a hauler later, otherwise you can't move such a big box." After saying that, Lao Wu opened the big wooden box.

After the box was opened, what caught He Yuzhu's eye was a bright red dress. Old Wu took the dress out of the box and handed it to He Yuzhu, then said: "Young man, you are very lucky. This dress was a spare gift prepared by the little emperor for the queen on his wedding day. The pattern on it would take a top-notch embroiderer several months of effort to show it." After that, Old Wu opened the small box below and took out the phoenix crown and jewelry one by one to show He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu looked at the exquisitely crafted Phoenix Coronet and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is a top-notch luxury product. The exquisite pearls and gems on the Phoenix Coronet are perfectly inlaid on the gold base."

Before He Yuzhu finished looking at the phoenix crown, Old Wu brought out another box and opened it, saying, "The small box inside contains two phoenix crowns with gold and kingfisher feathers and twenty pieces of gold and kingfisher feather tassels.

, a hairpin with a double happiness pattern and gold-inlaid kingfisher with coral and rice beads, a hairpin with a pearl and osmanthus pattern and gold-inlaid kingfisher with coral and rice beads, a hairpin with a gourd pattern and silver border, and a hairpin with a longevity pattern and gold-inlaid kingfisher. All of them were prepared according to the specifications of the empress in the palace, and the boxes for the jewelry were all made of huanghuali wood. "

After He Yuzhu finished looking at all the ornaments, He Yuzhu praised Old Wu: "Master Wu, today I have really broadened my horizons. These things are really worth the money. The craftsmanship of your people is amazing."

Old Wu said with a smug look on his face, "That's just the beginning. It's just that the Qing Dynasty is gone now, so some things can't be obtained. Otherwise, I can make you a set according to the specifications of the queen. When you see it, you will know what is called the best."

After listening to Old Wu's words, He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Master Wu, if the Qing Dynasty had not been destroyed, I would not dare to make these things. These things can only be used by ordinary people. If you make them wrong, you will be beheaded."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Old Wu couldn't help but sigh, then stood there quietly without saying a word, as if he was recalling the days when the Qing Dynasty was still in existence.

Seeing that Old Wu was lost in memories of the past, He Yuzhu had no choice but to interrupt Old Wu's memories: "Uncle Wu, I'll go out and call a taxi now, and I'll come over later." After saying that, He Yuzhu turned around and pushed his bicycle out of Old Wu's courtyard, then rode his bicycle to his cousin Cai Quanwu's house.

When He Yuzhu rode his uncle Cai Quanwu's tricycle to Old Wu's house again, Old Wu had already packed his things back into the box and was sitting in the yard waiting for him. Old Wu saw He Yuzhu enter the yard alone and asked, "Young man, why did you come here alone? Where is the person you called?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Master Wu, I didn't call anyone. I just went out to find a cart. I can pull the things back by myself on the cart."

Old Wu looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look on his face and said, "Young man, although the box is not heavy, it is not light either. It must be more than 100 kilograms. I am old, so I can't help you carry it."

He Yuzhu said confidently, "Master Wu, don't worry, I can move it by myself."

After hearing this, Old Wu half-believed and half-doubted and said, "After you left just now, I have packed all the things back into the boxes. If you want to move, just go into the house and move them."

After thanking Old Wu, He Yuzhu turned around and walked into the house. When he came to the wooden box, He Yuzhu squatted down and stretched out his arms to hold the box. With a little effort, he easily lifted the box. After He Yuzhu walked out of the house with the box in his arms, he said to Old Wu, "Uncle Wu, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye." After saying that, He Yuzhu walked out of the courtyard with the box in his arms.

Old Wu looked at He Yuzhu holding the box with ease and couldn't help but sigh: "With this guy's physique, if he joined the army in the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be able to become a Baturu."

After He Yuzhu carried the box out of the door of Old Wu's house, he observed that there was no one around and directly put the box into the blessed land. Then He Yuzhu rode his cousin Cai Quanwu's tricycle and hummed a song as he walked towards his cousin Cai Quanwu's house.
