Asura Fields Everywhere in Soochow

The two sisters went to class without incident for a few more days, until they just entered the door when school was over, and heard the servants gossiping in the courtyard, the two stood outside the door and eavesdropped tacitly.

A person in the courtyard said while drawing water: "The Lu family is usually very lifeless and quiet. Why does it seem to be more lively these days? Many people come in and out, and the threshold will be broken..."

Another person was beating his clothes, "Hey, isn't that son of the Lu family celebrating his birthday?"

"Which one?"

"The one with the longest seniority is 11 years old. There are many rules in the aristocratic family. I heard from the servants of the Lu family that it was originally a child's gift at the age of ten. This year, since the three-year filial piety period has expired, this birthday banquet will be held."

The water collector brought up a bucket of well water and sat down next to his companion, quite surprised, "Since it's going to be a big deal, I don't know." After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt presumptuous, and hurriedly changed his words, "The masters know it, and they don't need to know it at all." I will wait."

Hearing this, Sun Wu and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other, and the two of them expressed that they had never heard of this big news.

The servant inside the door beat his clothes, and continued: "Don't you know? The master's family and the Lu family have enmity. There is no reason for the Lu family to bring enemies into the door once the filial piety period is over."

The other person sneered, "What kind of grudge? Even though you are a classmate, you still talk about your old grudges all day long? I think the Lu family has lost its former glory. They talk about big things, but they can only deal with them casually."

The laundryman stopped beating, and said: "Why do you deal with it casually? You don't know much about the Lu family on weekdays. I can assure you that the masters of the academy will not receive invitations. Besides, you can Don't underestimate the Lu family, a centipede is dead but not stiff, in my opinion..." She lowered her voice, "If the master's family falls, his Lu family will not fall either."

"you……"

The following words are insignificant, probably belittling the master and feeling guilty. At the end of the sentence, the hammer washing clothes added at the end, "What are we talking about, the masters are all women, they can't be in charge of the house, and they can't receive invitations." Posts are also natural."

The gossip about Lu Ji's 11-year-old birthday ended here, and Sun Wu and Sun Shangxiang were both angry when they returned to the house.

"I said that my classmates have been whispering and whispering these days. It turned out that they were all planning to go to Lu's house to celebrate, and we were the only ones excluded." Sun Shangxiang didn't hit one person, "It's too bullying!"

Sun Wu was angry that after Lu Ji returned to Wu, he was not as close to her as before. He was always clinging to her in Qu'e, but now he doesn't even tell her such a big thing as her birthday.

"Sure enough, it's a white-eyed wolf. If you don't know how to raise it well, it's all in vain to treat him well." Sun Wu also sat cross-legged on the collapsed bed, angrily said.

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, "Who are you talking about?"

"Lu Ji."

Recalling the daily life between her and Lu Ji in Qu'a, Sun Shangxiang was puzzled, "Why are you being kind to him, don't you often order him to do this or that? I see him being ordered around by you, and he never refuses. Don't blame the wrong person, most of the immoral things are done by Lu Xun."

"No matter who did it, it's so petty and deliberately hides it from us, as if we don't care about this banquet. If you really want to invite me, I won't go."

Just as Sun Wu finished speaking, suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, and Han Wei came back.

Sun Shangxiang changed his attitude, and said kindly to Han Wei: "I didn't see you when I came back, where did you go?"

Putting away his resentment towards Lu Ji, Sun Wu also turned his head to look at Han Wei, and found that her light yellow skirt was stained with muddy water, thinking that the roads in the city were flat and it hadn't rained recently, Sun Wu reminded: "You If you are bored, it is indeed beneficial to go out for a stroll. But bandits are rampant outside the city, and you are only a girl, so remember to be careful and don't go too far."

Han Wei murmured hurriedly: "These days are very hot and stuffy, so I took a little shade under the willow tree behind the government office, and never went out of the city."

She raised her eyebrows and noticed that Sun Wu's eyes were on the mud stains on the corner of her skirt, so she said, "It's just that when I went home, I met the servants of the Lu family. They brought two large buckets from Huating. The road was bumpy. A lot of water splashed out."

Sun Shangxiang noticed the stains on Han Wei's clothes, she was very curious, "Huating is two hundred miles away, what are they working so hard to transport two buckets for?"

"It is said that the Lu family recently held a banquet and specially brought the four-gilled perch from Huating. Afraid that the perch would die in the middle of the road, they changed the water along the way and brought it here." Han Wei replied.

Hearing the words "four gills perch", Sun Wu's resentment that had just been restrained was released again.

Good Lu Ji, chatting with him when he was in Qu'e, she also mentioned that her favorite Wu County delicacy is the four-gilled perch in Huating, and now the perch is being shipped for a birthday banquet, but she still hides it from her.On the surface, this child is well-behaved, sensible and willing to reciprocate, but in fact he doesn't know what is good or bad.

Sun Wu secretly made a decision in his heart, four-gilled perch, Lu Ji would not even want to eat one!

So, at night, when everything was silent, Sun Wu came outside the Lu family's house.

In order to prevent thieves, the outer wall of Lu's house was built very high. Sun Wu built a few bricks and stones outside the courtyard, and used a bamboo pole against the ground to borrow strength, and then climbed up the courtyard wall.

Finding the right position, she clasped the wall with both hands, and when her toes reached the edge of the water tank in the courtyard, she used this strength to successfully turn in.

In the front yard of Lu's house, there is a well and a willow tree in the middle, the gate is facing the front hall, there are three wing rooms on one side of the yard, and the kitchen on the other side.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she tiptoed straight to the kitchen.Relying on the memory of her previous life, she found an oil lamp.Lighting the oil lamp, she found several perch swimming in the water tank in the kitchen.

She found a water ladle from the stove, dipped it down, and was about to catch one when a voice suddenly came from behind her.

"The perch is so alive and kicking, how do you take it back?"

Sun Wu was startled and turned his head quickly.

Lu Ji was holding a lantern and standing at the kitchen door. He was not tall enough for an 11-year-old, and it only reached half of the kitchen door.His clothes are still the same as in the daytime, his forehead is bright red with cinnabar mole, and he has a smile on his face, much more friendly than usual.

He stood there calmly, as if he knew she was coming.

Sun Wu was still angry with him, and said in a strange way: "With your status, do you actually condescend to guard the door of the cupboard most of the night to guard against thieves?"

Lu Ji walked up to her, put one hand on the edge of the water tank, and said solemnly like a curious baby: "You don't have to judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but I am really curious about how you will bring this fish back."

After finishing speaking, he signaled Sun Wu to continue with his eyes.

Sun Wu did his part, "Oh, then you can take care of it. After I pick up these fishes, I'll knock them out, string them on my body and climb over the wall, so you don't blame me if you don't have the main course at your birthday party."

Lu Ji was very generous, "If you can take it away, it's all yours."

So, the real villain, the fish thief, Sun Wu rolled up his sleeves, picked up the water ladle, and rowed into the water tank.

The first time, I didn't catch it.

The second time, I didn't catch it.

The third time... Lu Ji didn't look at it, he touched two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks on the kitchen table, "Your plan is really weird, you can get the fish, so it's worth it to get bloody all over your body?"

"Since you love cleanliness so much, why don't you give me two fish, then open the gate and let me out, and save me from dirtying the walls of your courtyard." Sun Wu continued to move his hands as he spoke. .

After fishing for several times, these perch were really fresh, and escaped from her water ladle several times.

Lu Ji watched the battle for a while, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Don't fish it, it just so happens that I cooked a fish in the backyard, and I can share half of it with you."
