The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

The story of Sanfang cleaning up the second bedroom so neatly spread in the village. There were many people who said that the third bedroom was cruel and some said that the second bedroom deserved what they did. But these rumors will eventually pass, and what Lou Yuzhu cares about is the continuation of the old house.At this time, the benefits of being on good terms with the Wei family came to the fore, as far as the distance between the next door and the next door was, you could hear any movement.

Wei Amo and the two daughters-in-law of the Wei family are also wonderful people. They come to talk about the eight seals of the old house every now and then, without embellishing the details. Telling the truth, for example, the second room Ji Xiaorong and Liu Amo who should pay for the medicine for Lou Cheng early in the morning. Although there was a quarrel, for example, Xu Chunting was scolded by Liu Ama for not doing a good job, or Lou Chengzu had a rift with Lou Chengli, and about Lou Mingzhu and Lou Yinzhu got into a fight or something, and there were several fights every day, and it was almost like watching a big show in turn.

Lou Yuzhu laughed secretly and said in her heart, it's not in vain for him to sow dissension, a dog bites a dog's mouth hair, it's so satisfying!

As time went by, the incident of stealing shrimp nets was gradually forgotten, and soon the autumn harvest began, and Lou Cheng was also responsible for the injury. It happened that the farm was busy again, and even if two long-term laborers were employed on a 30-acre field, it would be exhausting, but it was more painful. What's more, the grain was collected into the warehouse after a lot of hard work, and the notice of the two-month corvée in the court was also posted.

For males over 16 years old and under 50 years old, even if the old house is full, Lou Chengzu will take care of it with Lou. Mr. Lou, who turned [-] in the first month of last year, is not on the list.Lou Chengzu was a scholar, and he was not included in the corvee list, so the old house had so many people but only one Lou Cheng was eligible.

No wonder Lou Chengli knows how to do it!

The old house was not clear and went to the third room, but Lou Yuzhu had been sorting out the plan for chain hotels in the past few months, and took time to go to Fucheng to take care of the artificial breeding of red crayfish. In addition, to thank Mr. Mu I am willing to let Lou Hua and Lou Ming attend the lectures, and I am still studying the matter of distilling liquor. When I am busy, I wish that one person can be used as two people. I really don't want to deal with the bad things in the old house.

"Where's my father?" Lou Yuzhu put down her pen and raised her head to ask Liu Kui, who was passing the message.

Liu Kui bent her knees and replied, "The master went to the shrimp field, and Mr. Jun led the young master to take a nap."

Since the Shrimp Field matter was put on the agenda, Lou Chengyi, an honest man, has been there almost every day, and he looks more enthusiastic than Lou Yuzhu, the initiator. "Just say we're not free." Lou Hua and Lou Ming are busy with their studies every day, and sometimes they sleep in the town at night, and they really don't have time.

Liu Kui hesitated and said: "If you want a lot of brothers, let's go and have a look. The servant sees that this time it's really a big mess." I beat the old man, and it seems that he still saw blood."

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu smiled. "Okay, then let Huangshan be put on the bullock cart, and I'll go and have a look."

After the ox cart was harnessed, Lou Yuzhu led Huang Ying up, swayed to the old house, and then supported Huang Ying's wrist to get off the ox cart.The people watching the excitement on the side of the road automatically diverted into a lane, and Lou Yuzhu smiled and greeted the befriended family before stepping into the old house.

The first place in the main room, Mr. Lou was panting heavily as if he was very angry, and Lou Wen stood behind him to let him breathe.Liu Ama was also in tears, Xu Chunting persuaded softly beside her.Lou Chengli was kneeling on the ground, and Lou Chengzu was half lying on the chair, covering his waist with one hand and pressing the white scarf on his forehead with the other. The white scarf was stained red with blood, and he kept moaning in pain.

When Mr. Lou saw Lou Yuzhu, he said angrily, "Where's your father?!"

Lou Yuzhu withdrew her eyes from watching the bustle, found a clean stool and sat down, and replied, "My father is busy with work and is not at home."

Mr. Lou's angry eyes darkened again: "Then what about your dad? Where's your elder brother and second brother, are you always at home?!"

"My father and the fourth brother have no time to spare. As for my elder brother and second brother who are still studying in the town, they didn't come back yesterday."

Lou Wen raised his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Brother Yu, I'm afraid I remembered wrongly, Muxiu should be the only one in the school in town today."

"The school in the town is Muxiu, but that doesn't mean you can't study, right? The teacher who is close to our family is teaching, and my elder brother and second brother are allowed to attend the class. Of course, this rare opportunity should not be missed!" Elder Mu's class is not for everyone. You can listen, otherwise Lou Yuzhu wouldn't have spent time, effort and money researching distilled wine after finding out that the other party likes good wine just to thank the other party for taking the time to find out.

Hearing this, Lou Wen's eyes flashed but he no longer took it seriously.

The fact that Lou Wen is not serious does not mean that Mr. Lou is not serious, he slapped the table angrily and said angrily: "Call your father over!"

Lou Yuzhu smiled, and looked around slowly, saying: "Grandpa insists on asking my father to come over? I can also make decisions that my father can make decisions, and I can make decisions that my father can't. If not Tell me, if it’s saved, my father will not be able to make the decision and will go back and tell me to make up my mind.”

"You!" The meaning in Lou Yuzhu's words made old man Lou's anger soar to a higher level immediately.

Lou Yuzhu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, she shrugged and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, I'll listen."

Mr. Lou was furious again, but it was a pity that he had no choice but to take Lou Yuzhu to death, so he had to compromise and talk about the matter.Actually, it's very simple. Lou Chengli is dissatisfied with the corvee service, so he asked Liu Ahma to come out with 20 taels of silver to find someone to replace him. The temperamental Lou Chengli, who was only selfish and selfish, did not accept it, so he moved his hands.The age difference between the two brothers is not too big and they are just at the age of blood. When they started a real fire, the fight was neither serious nor serious. In the end, Lou Chengli, who was stronger, won, and Lou Chengzu, who never did heavy work, won. His body would be beaten as soon as he moved his hands.

After hearing the whole story, Lou Yuzhu pretended to be innocent and blinked and said: "Uncle and uncle fought and grandpa made his own judgment. Why are you looking for my father?"

Liu Amo wiped her face, and scolded meanly: "The second child was beaten by you [-] times before and lay on the bed for more than two months, and then it was busy farming, if he hadn't been hurt for more than two months, how could he not be able to do it? Move? If you can do move, why don’t you want to serve corvee?!”

"Ah, I'm afraid you are old and confused? The second uncle's [-] big boards were not hit by our family, but by the government. As for the reason for beating the second uncle, both the government and Li Zheng have their own conclusions. The three of us Fang is the one who suffers, and our fault is not our fault." Lou Yuzhu pursed her lips and said, "If you forget, I don't mind going to the official's house and Lizheng to ask, and see how the sentence was originally sentenced."

Liu Amo stared at Lou Yuzhu with a resentful look: "If it wasn't for your tricks, the officials would rush straight to our house?" They didn't have time to hide things, and they were caught right? !

"Ah, you can't say that. You need to pay attention to the evidence when you have a relationship with the government, otherwise you will be held accountable for slander!" Lou Yuzhu said, "Ah, you are too old!" The officials may feel pity that the board will not fall to you, but you have several sons under you, but they are really replaceable. Our three households have been separated, and there is no way to pursue responsibility. Uncle and Uncle have no division Home, tsk, this uncle is injured and bleeding, and the second uncle is just right, so if you don’t think about yourself, you should think more about the two uncles.”

"Don't scare me!"

"I didn't mean to scare you. If you don't believe me, ask your uncle and cousin. They teach one and study in the town. They know how to judge the crime of defamation." Yuzhu, these words are not false.

"My son is a scholar, the officials will beat him?" Liu Amo tightened her body, as if she thought her rebuttal was justified.

Lou Yuzhu almost died laughing when she heard this. "Punishment does not go up to scholar-bureaucrats. It is the gift of the dignitaries who have made great achievements in the court at Liming. Construction, how can He De receive such a great gift?"

Liu Amo was still quibbling, and shouted loudly: "My son is the first scholar in Yanjiacun! He is the face of Yanjiacun! If you beat him, you will slap the whole Yanjiacun in the face!"

"Uncle is not the first scholar in Yanjia Village. The bones of the first scholar in Yanjia Village have been turned into ashes. Uncle is just a scholar who has been admitted by Yanjia Village in the past ten years. It just happens that others have not passed the exam. As for face? , This face is given by people, and people give it to people because they value virtue and respect character. If virtue and character are not good, then the face can't be pasted on your own face!"

"That's enough!" Mr. Lou said angrily with a headache.

Lou Yuzhu had seen enough of the bustle, got up and said, "I'll go back if Grandpa has nothing else to do. As for today's matter, Grandpa will make his own decision. Our third room really can't help."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, Old Man Lou also said that Lou Wen pulled a hand beside him and whispered a few words in his ear, after that, Old Man Lou's expression changed and Lou Yuzhu left.

When Lou Yuzhu went back in the evening, she mentioned this matter to Lou Chengyi, and then she threw it away, but later heard Wei Amo say that the second room won in the end, and the old house paid 20 taels of silver to find someone to replace Lou Chengyi for two months corvee.Lou Yuzhu, who originally thought the matter was over, didn't want to come to the door two days later with the old man Lou leading Lou Wen. Although she was already crazy and wanted to beat him out, due to the secular etiquette, Lou Yuzhu could only listen to the other party's intentions patiently. over.

After hearing Mr. Lou's reason for coming, Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but feel that he lost his temper.

Lou Chengyi's solid steamed stuffed bun was already dizzy by Mr. Lou's previous good words, he turned his head and said to Lou Yuzhu naively: "Mr. Pei's mentor is the old Mr. Mu who came last time? The old man is good, and he praised me for farming well, and the fruit trees planted in the back are well taken care of.” Talking awkwardly, Yuzhu rushed to Lou Yuzhu and said with a flattering smile: “Old man Mu, Brother Yu, just tell Mr. Pei. You can also ask your eldest cousin to attend."

When Lou Chengyi said that Lou Yuzhu was not angry, he just wanted to laugh.In fact, he did laugh, laughing so unsteadily that tears came out of his eyes.

Lou Chengyi was stunned for a moment.

Old Man Lou was also very surprised, only Lou Wen pursed his lips tightly.

Fu Linshu, who was with the fourth child in the house, found out after hearing the words. Seeing Lou Yuzhu smiling like this, he hurriedly hugged Lou Chen to Lou Chengyi, and after seeing the old man Lou, he stepped forward to pat Lou Yuzhu on the back. "What's so funny?"

Lou Yuzhu held onto Fu Linshu, and finally stopped laughing, and then hiccupped. It seemed that the laughter was too much.

Fu Linshu hurriedly asked Huang Ying to twist the hot towel, and then asked Liu Kui to make tea, wipe her face with the hot towel, and then pour a cup of hot tea. Lou Yuzhu took a deep breath and held it in until she couldn't hold it anymore before exhaling.

Lou Yuzhu, who stopped hiccupping, signaled Fu Linshu to sit down, and said, "Father, I'm fine, I just felt funny after hearing a big joke."

"A joke?" Fu Linshu took Lou Chen from Lou Chengyi's hands and asked curiously. "What joke?"

Haoxuan held back a smile that wanted to laugh again, Lou Yuzhu took a sip of the tea Liu Kui made and said, "I'll ask my eldest cousin about that."

Mr. Lou came to his senses and lowered his face: "Brother Yu, do you mean you disagree?"

"Let's talk about the matter of disagreement. Grandpa first ask the eldest cousin how much he has asked about Pei Erge and his mentor." Lou Yuzhu shook her head secretly. It's a little too small.

Lou Wen pursed his lips: "Brother Yu doesn't need to make any excuses if he disagrees."

Old Man Lou glared at Lou Chengyi, and Lou Chengyi looked at Lou Yuzhu.

"Grandpa, what's the hurry? Why don't you listen to what the elder cousin found out?"

Lou Wen lowered his eyebrows.

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Does the eldest cousin not want to say or dare not say it? Hmm? Regarding the identity of Second Brother Pei and Elder Mu?"

"Is there anything you dare not say?" Mr. Lou lowered his eyebrows: "It's just that."

"Grandpa, be careful." Interrupting old man Lou, Lou Yuzhu glanced at Lou Wen: "Since the eldest cousin won't say it, let me speak for the eldest cousin."

Looking at Lou Chengyi who was puzzled, Lou Yuzhu said with a smile: "Father only wants to say hello to Old Man Mu, but you know that Old Man Mu's full name is Mu Yan, and he is one of the most famous masters and Confucians in the world's literary world. However, nearly [-]% of the students under the school hold important positions in the government, and the remaining [-]% are all well-known even though they did not enter the court as officials." After a pause, he continued: "Mr. In the same family, he has no official position but can freely enter and leave the palace, and everyone respects him from the emperor, the grandson, the aristocrats to the students and soldiers. Think about it, father, such a prominent Confucian old man, can he listen to his lectures as he wants?" Lou Yuzhu Sometimes I really want to knock open Lou Chengyi's head to see if there are weeds inside, I just don't know what to say!

Mr. Lou was already dumbfounded when he heard "one of the best masters in the world's literary world", and he was no different than Lou Chengyi's stunned look.

"Second Brother Pei's full name is Pei Guanying. He comes from the First-Class Marquis Mansion of Shangjing. He is the son of Marquis Jingyang." Not surprisingly, Pei Guanying will be the new Marquis of Jingyang from now on!

"Then you should support brothers!" Mr. Lou was startled by this string of titles at first, and then became hot!Thinking about catching up with these lines, I will be a great success in the future!

"Grandpa hasn't understood yet. This is no longer a question of supporting or not."

Lou Wen squinted: "Could it be that Lou Hua and Lou Ming can listen in, but I can't?"

Lou Yuzhu didn't answer, turned to Mr. Lou and said, "We can't agree to this matter, please go back, grandpa." Mrs. Mu looked amiable, but in fact he was difficult to get close to. Lou Yuzhu spent a lot of effort in order to get closer.Want to get a share of your own delicious fruit before you receive it?Is it possible?As for Pei Guanying, there are incomes from Xinyilou, Dashidian, and the next chain of hotels. The huge amount of money is enough to impress the other party and make him take the initiative to close the relationship between the two parties.

"The third one!"

Lou Chengyi was startled, and looked at Old Man Lou blankly.

Mr. Lou hated that iron could not be made into steel, and was quite annoyed by Lou Chengyi's limp and lack of opinion: "You are the head of the family, so you should act like the head of the family!"

Lou Yuzhu knew what Old Master Lou meant, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, my father must have the spirit of being the head of the family. Our family will not be what it used to be."Didn't Mr. Lou use the third room as the cornerstone because of Lou Chengyi's soft temper before, but now that the third room has been established, he blames Lou Chengyi for his soft temper?Why did you go early?

Old Man Lou fell back angrily again, but Lou Yuzhu got impatient and chattered with him, and said to Huangshan, "Huangshan, you go to harness the ox cart, and take the Grand Master and Young Master Tang back."

After driving the two away, Lou Yuzhu turned around and said to Lou Chengyi angrily, "Father, please ask us first before you agree to the old house next time, otherwise I won't help you clean up the mess!" Go out, otherwise Lou Chengyi will be persuaded by Mr. Lou to come to tell Mr. Mu about letting Lou Wen listen in. Thinking about it, the picture is beautiful enough.

Knowing the identity of Mr. Mu and Pei Guanying, Lou Chengyi frightened himself half to death, how dare he not?Immediately nodding his head was like pounding garlic.

When Lou Hua and Lou Ming came back in the evening and heard about this, Lou Ming was furious on the spot: "It's so shameless!"

"Keep your voice down, don't scare Xiaosi." Lou Yuzhu hugged Lou Chen and squeezed his little hand, then scratched his armpit, making him giggle. "It's other people's business to be shameless, but we have to be shameless."

Lou Ming knew he was wrong, so he quickly restrained his voice and came up to tease him.

Lou Chen is nine months old, Bai Baijing is chubby, he laughs when he is teased, he dances with joy when he laughs, he really can't hug him without a little effort.

Lou Hua smiled and watched the two brothers make the villain laugh non-stop, and then took the villain from Lou Yuzhu's hand before he was about to lose his breath, and patted Lou Chen on his back to smooth the air, while asking Lou Yuzhu: " and after?"

"I refused to send you back." Lou Yuzhu said what happened before, and then said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the second brother with you to talk about this matter with Mr. Mu, so as to avoid the influence of some ugly words over there. Old Mu and Second Brother's reputation."

"Okay, tomorrow morning we will take half a day off and go with you."

On the morning of the second day, Lou Hua and Lou Ming went to the college to hand over the leave slip, and then went to Pei Guanying's place with Lou Yuzhu.

Pei Guanying heard the purpose of the three brothers' visit, looked at Mr. Mu in a funny way, and said, "Brother Yu is too cautious, this idea is not worth taking to heart."

Elder Mu laughed and said, "It is necessary to know that the pure is from the clear and the turbid is from the turbid. If I walk upright and sit upright, why should I be afraid of those rumors?"

The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief, and Lou Yuzhu said: "This matter is always because of us, and we still have to say sorry to Mr. Mu."

"I've experienced a lot of wind and rain in my life, so what's the point?" After finishing speaking, Mr. Mu recalled Lou Yuzhu's previous promise and said narrowly: "If you really want to apologize, just hurry up with the good wine you promised earlier. Brewing it out, I should have asked you for a note if I knew it earlier, lest you can't figure it out and be fooled when you come!"

Lou Yuzhu unconsciously smiled and said: "This time I came here to talk to Mr. Mu about it. A letter from Fucheng said that the brewing matter has achieved results. I will leave tomorrow, and I will be back at the end of October at the earliest and the beginning of November at the latest. Time will definitely give you the best answer, Mr. Mu!"

"Okay! Then I'll wait!"

The famous Mr. Mu was like a child when he talked about fine wine, and Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
