I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

"Okay, little girl, don't be stubborn, if you don't strive to be the first in everything, you can find such a family now?"

During the conversation, Sheng Zhi came in from the outside, lit Sheng Yue, and said to the other people present: "I have already got my words out. Zhou Gaohuai's parents have been partial to the eldest son since childhood, and let him do the rough and heavy work at home. Later, it was my brother-in-law who listened to lectures outside the private school in the village, and the teacher looked at him pitifully and spiritually, so he was willing to let him study with him."

Lu Mo said: "What else?"

"Isn't it? I asked their relatives after gossiping for a long time."

Sheng Zhi spread his hands: "In the end, his parents only thought that he was studying because he didn't want to work to make excuses. At the beginning, because of his brother-in-law's coming to the capital to rush for the exam, the two sides had a serious fight. In the end, he even paid for the travel expenses. That's all, partial parents can be found everywhere, just like I always suffer from anger in our house, depending on people's faces, but I am a kind-hearted person... Oh mother, don't do it!"

He smiled and turned sideways quickly, avoiding Lu Mo's attack, and continued: "The point is, Zhou Gaohuai is too soft-hearted. If he can be ruthless and break up with such a father and mother, there will be no trouble now. He just gave birth to him." You are still filial, but you still can't bear it, then the consequences can be imagined. Little sister, little sister, your parents-in-law are now thinking about our family, and they want to support their eldest son wholeheartedly!"

Sheng Li was speechless for a moment, and after a pause, he said: "They did mention it to me, but I didn't agree. Naturally, I won't let the Zhou family come to our house to cause trouble."

Bai Yiling couldn't help taking the words: "In that case, first of all, you will make the Zhou family dissatisfied with you. Even if you have a high status, even if they hate you, it is still the in-law's family you have already chosen. Secondly, they have mouths. You Not to mention, they may not have the guts to say it when we eat later."

Since they can figure out that they are going to come and live here, it means that in the Zhou family's understanding, they don't need to distinguish each other too clearly when they become in-laws.Probably in their thinking, the Sheng family is famous, powerful and rich, so they should help poor relatives—although such poor relatives are really hard to recognize.

Sheng knew: "Little brother is right. Of course, we can refuse, but brother-in-law's face and little sister's situation cannot be ignored—it is her in-law's family after all."

In any case, at the beginning Sheng Li was going to marry, and after marriage, the relationship between her and Zhou Gaohuai was really good, and it was impossible for the couple to divorce just because their relatives were unreliable.To get on with life, you can't save face at all.

Lu Mo thought for a while and said, "Well, Ah Ying, you can go to the back and tell us, let's change the banquet to Maple Flower Terrace."

Nie Ying was taken aback, and asked, "So grand?"

Bai Yiling and Sheng Zhi who were beside him had already laughed together.

When Nie Ying saw that the two brothers were smiling, she thought about it and understood what Lu Mo meant. She couldn't help laughing, but she shook her head and said, "Then I hope this method will work."

They were talking here, and Zhou's father and Zhou mother were already dazzled by the wealth of the Sheng family. Zhou's mother took advantage of a gap, quietly pulled Zhou Gaohuai aside, and asked in a low voice: "The same is true for those who work in the court." Official, why is their family so rich, did you secretly give the money you earned to your wife, deliberately hiding it from us?"

Zhou Gaohuai said helplessly: "Mother, how is that possible, don't think so much."

He also understood that in Mother Zhou's mind, she probably couldn't tell the difference between the Duke, the Minister, and the Commander. He only knew that they were all officials anyway, so it was about the same.So he just said: "This is where the princess lives, the emperor's aunt, her son's official position is small, and it can't compare with other people's wealth."

Zhou's mother said: "The princess is also our in-laws now, and we have a share in her family's wealth. Can you tell me later that when you go out, put something for your elder brother? A little is enough for us!"

She opened her mouth and closed her mouth thinking about her eldest son, and she didn't care if her younger son would be in trouble, how she should deal with her father-in-law and brothers-in-law, Zhou Gaohuai was unhappy and unable to refute, so she pursed her mouth and said nothing.

Zhou's mother's face darkened: "How can you be a brother like you? You came to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and left your parents and brothers to suffer in the countryside. Now that you are being pushed by your daughter-in-law, it's even more serious. You don't even think about such a trivial matter." Don't worry. You are the son-in-law of this family, what's the matter if you need something? Their family has no shortage!"

Zhou Gaohuai did not refute his mother's reprimand, but said in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with Li Niang, I can't say this by myself, so don't say it."

After he finished speaking, he went straight away. Zhou's mother had no choice but to stomp her feet bitterly and followed.

The members of the Zhou family went all the way to the place where the banquet was held. They stepped on the white jade floor, the yellow glazed tiles on the roof were shining brightly, and the pillars on all sides were all outlined with gold powder and Su Mo. It looked like a fairyland at first glance.The beautiful maids came and went with trays, elegant and demure, without making any noise during their actions. The burly guards stood quietly with solemn faces.

This kind of ostentation almost made the Zhou family completely dizzy. Zhou's mother had already forgotten the unhappiness just now, and she felt unspeakably cramped, pulling the corners of her clothes and combing her hair from time to time. She felt that there was nowhere to put her hands and feet. up.

This is what Lu Mo wanted. She hoped that in this way, the Zhou family would realize the gap between the two sides and restrain themselves, so that everyone would not be unhappy on such occasions again.Nothing else matters, the key is that it will really make Sheng Li and Zhou Gaohuai look bad.

The Zhou family's hearts have indeed been greatly impacted, or in other words, this impact did not come from now.Since entering the Sheng family, they have seen the splendor and wealth that they could not even dream of in their life, and every time they feel that it is the ultimate, they will see a new grand scene.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother couldn't help looking at each other, and at the same time thought of how the youngest son used to be taciturn at home. At that time, no one could have imagined that he could be so successful and find such a marriage.

Thinking about the years they lived as parents, it was a waste of time.Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were indeed shocked, but their hearts suddenly heated up.

These things and wealth are not out of reach for them, this is their in-laws!

Thinking of this, Zhou's mother hesitated several times during the banquet, talking about her family's poverty, and saying that it was not easy for Zhou Gaohuai to study. The two are also brothers, but Zhou Gaoming had a hard life. Help Zhou Gaoming bring it on top.

The people around didn't seem to hear it, and they could always change the topic for her. Zhou Gaoming anxiously winked at Zhou's mother, and Zhou's mother was also anxious, and she just said with a smile on her face: "Princess, you Hearing about these things, the eldest of my family is also pitiful, and life is hard these days. Our poor family has no skills, so we have the cheek to come here and beg, see if we can find him an official position... ..."

After her words came out, there was a moment of silence at the table, Zhou Gaohuai was so embarrassed that he couldn't care less about etiquette, he hurriedly said: "My mother is just joking!"

When he said this, Zhou's father was not happy. He frowned and said, "Who would make fun of this kind of thing? Your mother is talking to your father-in-law. You are a junior, why interrupt?"

Hearing what he said, Sheng Mian smiled lightly and said, "I can't find an official position here either."

He is quite self-cultivated, and he is always kind. In Zhou's father's heart, he is like a good man. He really didn't expect Sheng Mian to refuse so happily, he was stunned for a moment, and felt unhappy.

It's just that he is not happy. Under such a dignified appearance and ostentation, he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only hold back his anger and smile, salivating and said: "It doesn't need to be too big an official. Lord, look, we are all Relatives, if my kid is disgraced, he will also embarrass your family—"

When he said this, Sheng Li suddenly slammed the chopsticks on the table with a "slap", and Bai Yiling could see clearly that it was Zhou's mother who kept tugging on her sleeve, trying to make her talk.

Bai Yiling sighed inwardly, and broke the deadlock and said, "There is a lack of a concierge at the Northern Inspection Department. Although it is not an official post, it is very leisurely and the salary is not low. If Brother Zhou doesn't mind, he can go there."

If Bai Yiling had followed his own temper, he would naturally not give them this face.Now it is because Zhou Gaohuai and Sheng Li are in a difficult situation, and feel that such a rivalry is boring, so they are willing to open their mouths to smooth things over.

Zhou Gaohuai glanced at him gratefully.

Zhou's mother was very dissatisfied. She didn't know that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, even if he was only a concierge in the Northern Inspection Department, for a person like Zhou Gaohuai, he couldn't ask for it. She only felt that Bai Yiling deliberately Mai Tairen, let her son watch the gate.

She smacked her lips and said with a smile on her face, "This...isn't it a little..."

While talking, she looked at Bai Yiling, but this time she suddenly forgot what she said later.

Ever since she came to Sheng's house, Zhou's mother's eyes were not enough, she was surrounded by gold and silver brocade, handsome men and beautiful women, she was dazzled for a while.Bai Yiling didn't accompany the guests at the beginning, and didn't speak again after the banquet, so Zhou's mother didn't take a closer look at what the youngest son of the Sheng family looked like.

Looking at him now, I saw that he was gorgeous and handsome, and he was only sitting there wearing a simple gown with sword sleeves sprinkled with gold, but he had a natural noble temperament, like a fairy in the sky, who had never been seen in his life. Handsome people I've seen.

For a moment, Mother Zhou felt dizzy, stuttering and unable to speak.

She stared at Bai Yiling like this and couldn't move her eyes, it was too impolite, Sheng Zhi interrupted, and gave Bai Yiling a quail egg, raised her arm, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Zhou's mother's sight.

He said: "Little brother, eat more. This is because you are coming back. Mother specially asked Zhuangzi to pick out fresh ones in advance. Once they are brought into the mansion, they will be cooked immediately."

Nie Ying also smiled and introduced: "Because these are not ordinary quail eggs. The quails that lay eggs are raised with precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and red dates. After they are born, the eggshell is golden, and the egg white inside is white." Like white jade, it tastes unique and strengthens the body, so it is called 'Jade Wrapped in Gold'."

Zhou Ye, the little grandson of the Zhou family, heard this, and immediately shouted for food. He is Zhou Gaoming's only son, and he is only seven years old. Under Ye's clamor, the whole plate was brought over.

As a result, other topics were mentioned at the banquet, but Zhou's father and Zhou's mother were cut off.

Zhou's mother was eating, but her eyes were always dishonest. Gu Lulu rolled her eyes to look at Bai Yiling's face. After a while, she couldn't help it anymore, looked at Bai Yiling's face, and said, "My brother-in-law isn't married yet, right? I do know a few girls who are famously beautiful in our place..."

Sheng Zhi interrupted her with a smile: "Old lady, I'm sorry, my younger brother formed a contract with the emperor a year ago. You have to be careful what you say, if you are careless, your head will be chopped off!"

Zhou's mother was taken aback. Whose chopsticks fell to the ground at the table, and who said "my dear" softly and in shock.

Even if they couldn't tell the size of the official position, they still knew the word "Emperor". Zhou's mother was shocked, her lips trembling like a stroke, and she murmured: "Your Majesty..."

This is too scary, she can hardly breathe, this family is a fairy who fell from the sky, each one is more powerful than the other, and she has something to do with her son.Zhou's mother felt as if her body was flying lightly into the clouds, and for a while she was thinking about beheading and losing her life, and for a while she was thinking about being rich and powerful.

Although she didn't express what was going on in her heart, her eyes staring at Bai Yiling were almost radiant, like looking at a golden doll, and no one around couldn't feel it.

Sheng Mian felt sorry for Bai Yiling who just came back from the outside, but felt uncomfortable even eating a meal, so he said, "Ling'er, you just came back from a business trip, you have worked hard all the way, you don't need to stay here with the guests, go back and rest. Think What to eat, ask someone to bring it to your room."

There has never been a case where the host went back to the room to rest before the guests left, but the Sheng family was so powerful, Zhou's father and Zhou mother dared to say a word, they nodded and bowed and said that it is better to go back, and they should rest, Bai Yiling is right Everyone arched their hands and left according to their father's words.

As soon as he stepped out of the front hall, he immediately let out a breath and felt much more comfortable.

Lu Mo beckoned to a servant who was waiting beside her, and ordered in a low voice: "Go to the small kitchen and bring some light dishes, and then bring them to the fourth son together with the porridge. Tell him, when you run out of rice Rest well, don't worry about this side."

After receiving the order, the little maid bowed and retreated to serve the food.With Bai Yiling's departure, the Zhou family finally noticed the dissatisfaction of the Sheng family that was almost irrepressible, and restrained themselves a little.

After Bai Yiling returned to the room, he pushed the door open and the first thing he saw was the little red fox squatting in front of the bronze mirror looking in the mirror.

Lu Yu is often rubbed when he comes here, and he is very concerned about the growth of his hair. First, he turned around and took a picture of his hair, and saw a few fluffs floating on the top of his head, so he used the small front hair very smugly. The claws were dipped in some water and pulled flat.

Bai Yiling: "Ahem!"

The fox, who was overwhelmed by the beauty of the prosperous age in the mirror, turned his head and saw that his sweetheart had returned, and immediately wagged his tail happily, lowered his head and picked up a bunch of small flowers that he had just picked up from the garden beside him, jumped into Bai Yiling's hands, and put Hand him the flower.

Bai Yiling couldn't help laughing. After taking the flowers, he slapped the fox lightly on the head, hugging him and sitting on the bed: "Is it interesting to come to me every day to pretend to be cute?"

Lu Yu said: "Don't you just like cute ones. If you like mighty, sinister, and pungent ones, I'm sure I won't be like that."

Bai Yiling was curious: "What kind of pungent fox?"

Lu Yu thought for a while, jumped onto the bed and rolled around desperately, the hair all over his body was blown up, and he bared his teeth for Bai Yiling to see.

Bai Yiling: "..."

Bai Yiling: "Hahahahahahaha!"

He was playing with the fox here, and the servants had already brought in the food that Lu Mo had instructed.Seeing Bai Yiling's happy smile, the servant girl was unknowingly infected by his happiness, and said with a smile, "Fourth Young Master, the food is always hot, so don't let it cool before eating."

Bai Yiling smiled and said: "Okay, I'll eat right away, you don't have to wait on the side. If you don't have dinner, you can go to the kitchen to order by yourself, and say I let you."

After the little maid went out, Lu Yu ran to the tray and smelled it, and asked, "Isn't there a banquet at home, why didn't you eat with me?"

Bai Yiling said: "Don't mention it, you know about my second sister's marriage, right?"

Lu Yu nodded.Therefore, it was the matter of the Sheng family. He usually paid more attention to it and understood most of the situation, but he hadn't personally experienced the power of the Zhou family, so he probably didn't feel deeply enough.

Bai Yiling told Lu Yu what happened during the meal just now, and said with a wry smile: "Being relatives with this kind of people is the most difficult. I have a hundred ways to make them honest, but the premise is that the second sister Don't even think about being pregnant with Zhou Gao anymore. But it hasn't been long since they just got married, so what's the matter?"

Lu Yu said: "I was quite surprised when I first heard that the two families got married, and I asked people to find out whether Zhou Gaohuai directed and acted the incident of Sheng Li being reported to have had a child by adultery, but there was nothing suspicious about it. "

Bai Yiling said: "That's not true. It's impossible for my parents to marry the second sister without finding out about this kind of thing. To be honest, it's okay if it's really suspicious. Once the second sister knows the inside story, she won't insist. Almost The only difference is that Zhou Gaohuai is a decent person, but his family is really hard to deal with, and it’s not right to let him go, it’s even worse if it goes on like this.”

Lu Yu arched the spoon: "Don't rush to talk, you eat first."

Bai Yiling ate half full at the banquet, and after listening to his urging, he lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of porridge.Lu Yu squatted by the bowl and watched him eat, and then said: "Forgive me, your second sister has a big idea. Do you know that your parents didn't let her marry at that time, and she was secretly in the room. About hanging yourself?"

Bai Yiling almost spit out the rice: "What?"

Lu Yu patted him with his paws: "Slow down, slow down. I also murmured in my heart at first, no matter how I look at Zhou Gaohuai, he doesn't look like the person who can fascinate Sheng Li like that. Later, I sent the inner guard over to ask and found out. .”

He euphemistically said: "When Sheng Li usually socializes with people outside, he often makes friends with dignitaries. There are not a few people who think she is too arrogant. We know the inside story, but outsiders don't understand. Now that something happens, it is inevitable that people in the capital will Some bad rumors made Sheng Li feel ashamed. She didn't want to force her parents to compromise with death, but she really felt that if she couldn't get married, she didn't want to live anymore. In the end, she still had to fight."

Bai Yiling said: "Second sister's personality is a bit extreme, but her life is not very good."

When he said that, Lu Yu still felt very distressed.In fact, Sheng Li's actions made him disapproving, only a child who was spoiled and grown up can be so self-willed and proud, if Bai Yiling had her temper, he might have died seven or eight times earlier.

This kid is still lamenting that other people's lives are bad. In fact, he should have more love and pride than Sheng Li, but he had to work hard to grow up.If this matter were spread to Bai Yiling, Lu Yu believed that it would definitely not be where it is today.

Lu Yu said: "The more you care about something, the less you can keep it. With all due respect, you, the second sister, are too good-faced. The first thing you think about is not to solve the problem, but to cover it tightly. Stop it. At first, her background was like this, this time when she met the gangsters, she would come up and beat them to death, if she stabilized them first, and then told her family after returning home, why did this happen?"

He usually acts foolishly, but in fact he understands things and people very well, so Bai Yiling had nothing to say, so he sighed.

Lu Yu resumed her human form and sat by the bed, put her arms around Bai Yiling's shoulders and kissed him, and coaxed him with a smile: "Okay, you're married, she chose her own path, she has to find a way to live her life, follow me What are you feeling? We finally met each other."

Bai Yiling said: "I remember that I just came out of the palace this morning, right?"

Lu Yu said: "I owed you two months ago, how can it be so easy to pay off! It's really inconvenient to be the emperor, I want to follow you all the time, and I have to become a fox..."

When he said this, he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and a servant girl's voice said outside: "Fourth Young Master, some guests came to the house and said they were looking for you."

Lu Yu was so frightened that he turned into a fox again.

Bai Yiling couldn't help laughing, and said, "I see, who is it?"

The servant girl said: "It's the masters of the Northern Inspection Department."

It was lunch time at this time, if he was able to find this place, there must be something wrong, Bai Yiling straightened his clothes, and led the fox out to greet him, but before he saw anyone, he suddenly heard a burst of crying from the garden not far away.

Bai Yiling stopped and made a distinction, then frowned and said, "It's Ying'er."

Lu Yu said, "Go and see first."

One person and one fox chased after the crying, and found three children standing in the garden. Sheng Ying's braids were untied, and they were standing beside crying. pull away.

After seeing Bai Yiling passing by, the servants hurriedly saluted.Sheng Ying cried and threw himself into his arms, and Sheng Yuan also ran over.

Bai Yiling put his arms around Sheng Ying, wiped away her tears, and checked the small bloodstain on Sheng Yuan's arm. Seeing that there was nothing serious, he asked, "What's going on?"

A guard quickly explained to him in a low voice, it turned out that shortly after Bai Yiling left the table, Sheng Yuan and Sheng Ying also ran out to play in the garden because they were bored, and Zhou Ye followed after a while.

There were servants following them, but seeing the three children running around in the garden, having fun, everyone didn't pay much attention to it.After playing for a while, Zhou Ye suddenly saw the beautiful jade pendant on Sheng Ying's braid, so he asked her for it. Sheng Ying said that it was just given by his uncle, and refused to give it to her. Zhou Ye was used to domineering at home, and now he started it , pulled the jade pendant from Sheng Ying's hair.

Sheng Ying was in great pain from being pulled, and burst into tears. Sheng Yuan was furious, and the two boys started to fight.

Lu Yu helped Bai Yiling to coax the child, rubbed the fluff on Shengying's face with the fluff on his ears, and put the flowers he just picked on her braid with his mouth in his mouth.

Sheng Ying smiled through tears, took out the silk flower that had been on all along, and put it on the fox's ear: "The little fox also wears flowers!"

Lu Yu: "..."

Fine.

Bai Yiling's anger couldn't be suppressed anymore, he pointed to the bloodstain on Sheng Yuan's arm and said, "What made this?"

Sheng Yuan said: "Uncle, that fat coal ball hacked me with a knife!"

Zhou Ye said angrily, "You are the fat briquette!"

After saying this, seeing Bai Yiling walking towards him, he was also a little scared, stepped back a few steps, and looked at him warily: "You, if you dare to hit me, I'll stab you too!"

He was actually holding a dagger in his hand, and he didn't know whether the Zhou family really dared to let the children play with it, or Zhou Ye stole it himself, Bai Yiling casually reached out and snatched the dagger.
