The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

It snowed that night, and Lou Yuzhu was wearing fox fur and leaning against the window to watch the snowflakes flying outside.

Zhou Cheng took the Stovestone Tower Jade Bead from the servant, and said, "Look at what?" As he spoke, his eyes drifted to the outside of the house, and he saw that there was nothing except the white expanse of snow.

Lou Yuzhu tilted her head, and her gaze fell into the wrinkles at the corners of Zhou Cheng's eyes.A sense of sourness surfaced in his heart, and he couldn't help touching it.

Zhou Cheng, who noticed it, looked back in a daze, and saw Lou Yuzhu's complex eyes and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

"I found you old."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng couldn't laugh or cry: "You are in your forties, so you are old? It's not like your time seems to have stopped." People in their thirties seem to be in their early twenties, no wonder there are rumors outside.

Lou Yuzhu stared, Zhou Cheng rubbed his nose and pulled him away from the window to let him sit on the soft bed.

Seeing that the servant was about to close the window, Lou Yuzhu hurriedly waved her hand to stop it: "Don't close it, it's so stuffy, let's breathe."

"Open half of the fan and use the screen to block it." Zhou Cheng turned his head and said something, and then tightened the fox fur on Lou Yuzhu's body: "Don't really think that you are in your twenties, you will suffer from the wind and cold."

Lou Yuzhu, who was a little sad at first, lost all her sadness when Zhou Cheng messed her up like this, so she reprimanded angrily for a moment: "Even if I catch the wind and cold, I am the one who suffers, why are you worrying?"

"Who cares if I don't worry?" After saying that, he took the ginseng tea brought by the servant and brought it to his mouth.

Lou Yuzhu, who didn't keep up with nutrition when she was young, suffered from cold hands and feet every cold winter. Zhou Cheng consulted a famous doctor for health-preserving prescriptions. Since then, a cup of ginseng tea every night in cold winter has become a habit.Piansheng Lou Yuzhu doesn't like the smell of ginseng tea, and it always feels like suffering.

Zhou Chengyi stared at the person next to him and finished drinking the ginseng tea, then took the empty cup, and handed him another cup of warm water to rinse his mouth.

After rinsing her mouth to suppress the smell in her mouth, Lou Yuzhu, who felt more comfortable, continued to sigh: "None of the six brothers like housekeeping." Looking at Zhou Cheng, "You have to find a way to make it happen." , otherwise I don’t know when I will be busy.”

Zhou Cheng laughed: "What do you want to do so much, anyway, the third and fourth are not married yet, and there are still several years away from the fifth, and it will be even further away when the sixth gets married."

Lou Yuzhu said to him: "I love you so much, I wish you had lifted the burden off your shoulders and lived a more relaxed life." Although he hadn't had a few days of breezy days in the past ten years, Zhou Cheng was more tired than him.Business matters, socializing outside, maintaining interpersonal relationships, which one is not time-consuming and labor-intensive?

Someone sent them to wash and other things. Zhou Cheng twisted the veil to let him wash his face while replying: "In the past few years, I have not been very tired after being watched by the steward. Let's focus on the future of the children. After all, my son is outstanding. Parents are also proud, don’t they?” After speaking, he laughed again: “One of the six sons is the number one scholar, the other is Tanhua, the other is the emperor’s guard, and the other is a centurion in the military camp. The first four have a bright future. For the latter two, the fifth child was favored by the Dali Temple Minister and accepted as a disciple, and the sixth child also made a name for himself in the student prison, everyone should envy us for our good fortune."

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "If I could, I really don't want six boys, but six brothers would be a real blessing."

Now it's Zhou Cheng who can't laugh or cry. "If you really change to six brothers, you have to worry about them getting married, and you will worry about them all day long. So it's better to be a boy. Muscles and bones." My brother can't be an official, and he can't earn an imperial order, so it's better to be a kid.

In the next year, the four brothers jointly wrote to Lou Yuzhu for an imperial order, and the emperor brought the matter up to discuss with the officials, saying, "If there are more such virtuous house husbands in the world who can teach children, why don't I worry about my great Yuan becoming stronger?" ? After blocking the mouths of all the officials, Lou Yuzhu was bestowed on Lou Yuzhu as the husband and wife of the emperor, and from the second rank, he personally bestowed brocade and phoenix patterns and Xiapei on imperial orders.

On the day when the imperial decree was issued, there was a constant flow of people in the Zhou Mansion, and festive rituals, music and running water seats were arranged for three days.But this is where the glory begins.

After becoming an adult, Lao Wu inherited the teacher's mantle and became the youngest and most promising person in Dali. In just one year, he solved a strange case and even the emperor praised him as a young genius; As we all know, he was regarded as a model for the world's students at one time.

It's just that this role model doesn't follow the ordinary route, and he doesn't even have the slightest intention of getting married at the age of seventeen.

Lou Yuzhu was in a hurry, she was soft and hard, and she said harsh words when she saw that people would not let go.

"If you don't get married, you will inherit the family business! Choose one of the two, and we will see at the end of the year!"

Zhou An had no fear: "If father is not afraid of students from all over the world blocking the door to hang himself, he can do this." He was very sure that this was not a lie, so Lou Yuzhu was even more angry.

"Then what do you want? Ask you to get married and you say it's boring, and ask you to inherit the family business and you say you're not interested! The whole day is either a poetry fair here or a book fair there. If you have the ability, you marry a book and come back!"

The third child, Zhou Qi, smiled unkindly, and after being stared at by his husband, he calmed down.

Zhou An's cool squinting eyes and Zhou Qi pointed at the three generations of the Zhou family headed by Zhou Xue and said: "The oldest of the three generations of the Zhou family is ten years old. Choose one of the brothers and cultivate it well."

Zhou Xue said that their brothers were very innocent, squinting at his sixth uncle with the same eyes as Zhou Yi, and said coolly: "If the sixth uncle doesn't want it, just push it to us. Do you remember that you are an elder?"

Zhou An touched her kindly, and said with kindness on his face, "That's why I give you such a good thing as 'Family Business',"

Zhou Xue rushed to him, saying that he was not so stupid.

It was the only two elder brothers among the eight and three generations of the Zhou family who asked childishly, "Family business is a good thing? Then the sixth uncle will give it to brother Qin?"

Immediately everyone in the room laughed, Lou Yuzhu didn't stop, glared at the six brothers and scolded: "Look, you are not even as good as a six-year-old brother, and you are not afraid of being laughed at when you say it!"

Of course, no one took the words of a six-year-old boy seriously, and the family laughed. Let’s learn about the prince’s knowledge. The former emperor praised me for a few of your articles, saying that it would be more suitable for the princes if you taught them.”

"Third brother, are you digging a hole for me to jump in? When you arrive in the palace, you will kneel when you see this one, and you will also kneel when you see that one. The student is more airy than my teacher,"

Lou Yuzhu interrupted: "Then get married or inherit the family business."

Zhou An was speechless and said after a long while: "Then I'd better go to the palace to give lectures."

Zhou Qi tilted his head and showed a smirk, just happened to see Zhou Yi, and raised his eyebrows at him.

Lectures for the prince is a pitfall, but the real pitfall is not here, but the emperor intends to recruit Zhou An as his brother-in-law. As soon as this man entered the palace and listened to two lectures, the more satisfied the emperor was, he immediately rubbed his brother of the same age. Dressed up as a boy, he joined the class and became an older auditor.Unfortunately, Zhou An, who didn't know the truth, was recruited, and then the marriage was a matter of course.

Zhou An went home and cried at Lou Yuzhu, scolding the third son Zhou Qi for harming him a lot. Lou Yuzhu superficially agreed and turned around to happily prepare for the marriage. The business was divided into six shares for the six brothers, and then they turned around and went to the hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city with Zhou Cheng to live the world of two people.

Five months after Hot Spring Zhuangzi stayed, Ah Xu Se passed away at the age of 86, which can be said to be a very high birthday.Afterwards, the two accompanied Lou Chengyi and his wife in Huya County, and returned to Beijing three years later. Within a month, the emperor issued an imperial decree again, conferring Lou Yuzhu as the first-rank imperial husband, and was amazed and famous all over the world.

The author has something to say: Fu Luxi has written it all, just a short prayer, let’s add a special episode

【Extras】

A certain month in a certain year.The two escorted Lou Chen to Shangjing Mulaona for the return journey. Lou Ming, who was traveling with him, traveled by himself and there were only two of them left. As soon as they got out of the gate of Shangjing, Zhou Cheng directed the carriage to go sideways.

Lou Yuzhu, who knew what he wanted, was amused: "This should be your busiest time, why do you still have time to play?"

"Things are always busy." Zhou Cheng's eyes were soft, and his hand casually put on his.Things are always busy, but the opportunity to be alone like this is hard to find!

"It's rare for a workaholic like you to wake up."

"'Workaholic'?"

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, he explained: "It means that everything is business-oriented."

Zhou Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't know where you got all these strange words,"

"Maybe it was in my previous life."

The two just talked, laughed and traveled to many places of interest, without Lou Hua and Lou Ming staring at Zhou Cheng, they are much bolder, and certain actions are difficult to change once they are formed.

On the day of the return trip, Zhou Cheng peeled off half a bowl of red crayfish and handed it to Lou Yuzhu.

Immediately, everyone at the table froze.

Lou Yuzhu, who was holding a bowl and was about to eat a big piece, raised her eyes with a suspicious face: "What's wrong?"

Fu Linshu smiled stiffly: "You are a real kid, why did you just take the prawns that Zhou Cheng peeled and eat them, why don't you return them soon."

"This was originally stripped for me." Lou Yuzhu said with confidence, Zhou Cheng agreed, and the two cooperated tacitly without realizing that there was nothing wrong with it.Instead, the other people at the table blushed for the two of them.

After the meal, Fu Linshu called Lou Yuzhu into the room, and scolded: "I'm not a slave, so there's no reason for Zhou Cheng to strip and eat you."

"I love to eat and he is willing to peel it for me, who is in the way?" Lou Yuzhu felt that the ancients were really old-fashioned. "Fu Linshu rolled his eyes: "Secular etiquette, how can you do whatever you want?Besides, the two of you are not married yet, so you won't even be able to see each other face to face in that strict family. "

"Other people's home is someone else's home, and our home is our home." With a smile on his lips, he leaned over to Fu Linshu and said softly, "What's more, doing these small things for me will show that Brother Zhou likes me, right? Don't worry about my unhappy life in the future?"

"It's just you who have a lot of crooked reasons." Fu Linshu, who was persuaded, didn't care about it and said: "It's fine at home, but it's not okay in front of outsiders!"

Lou Yuzhu hurriedly responded.

a certain month.

This autumn the youngest, the sixth child, was two years old, and Lou Yuzhu, who couldn't sit still, followed her family into the mountains to pick up the autumn.

Naturally, everything went smoothly for Zhou Cheng, he ordered the housekeeper to take care of it, and led his family into the mountain the next day.

The six brothers were not afraid at all, the older one took the younger one to look at this and that, just running around like monkeys, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu followed behind, Huang Ying and Qiu Shi, who were in charge, had already chosen On the ground, people spread a thick felt blanket and a layer of soft cotton cloth on it, put two pillows and the snacks they brought.

The two-year-old sixth was tired from running, Zhou Cheng hugged him on the cushion, and Lou Yuzhu took the warm water specially prepared by the servant for the six brothers and fed it.

Two-year-old Zhou Anzhi said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I want to drink tea."

Lou Yuzhu shook her head: "You are too young to drink tea."

"Then when can I drink?"

"At least six years old."

Little Zhou An snapped his fingers and found out that it would take another four years to wilt.

Zhou Cheng loved the sixth child the most, secretly tried Zhou An's tea behind Lou Yuzhu's back.

Xiao Zhou An frowned immediately after trying his mouth: "Bitter~"

"Tea is inherently bitter."

"But the tea at my grandpa's house is sweet." During the Chinese New Year, he drank a cup of tea, which contained sesame seeds, peanuts and almonds, and it was sweet.

"That's the sweet tea that your grandpa loved you and specially prepared. Our family doesn't like to drink that kind of tea."

Little Zhou An asked, "Why doesn't our family like to drink that kind?"

"Because your father doesn't like it."

"Well, Dad doesn't like it, and I don't like it either."

All the servants laughed.

Not long after, the five crazy brothers ran back, threw themselves on the cushion as if they had been hungry for a few days, and began to eat and drink wildly. Zhou Cheng hurriedly protected little Zhou An to take two steps away, frowned and shouted angrily: "Crazy!" What does madness look like?!"

The five brothers pretended not to hear them, and only glanced at the corners of Lou Yuzhu's clothes. One by one, they quickly arranged their clothes and appearances. When Lou Yuzhu came over, the five brothers were handsome and handsome rich young masters again.

Little Zhou An whose cognition has been refreshed: "!!!"

The inexplicable Lou Yuzhu: "??"

The five brothers shouted in one voice: "Hello, Daddy~~"

Zhou Cheng black line.It's quite embarrassing that the daughter-in-law has more prestige than myself!

A certain month in a certain year.When Lou Hua resigned, upon hearing the news, Lou Yuzhu came to Liang Zhao's door and quietly asked Liang Zhao, "Well, why did you think of resigning? Isn't there still a few years left in office?"

Liang Zhao comforted him: "There is no difference between a few years earlier and a few years later. Why don't you go back earlier while you can move now and live a comfortable life for a few years. Besides, the second brother has been taking care of family affairs for so many years. Let them take it easy."

Seeing that Liang Zhao didn't seem to be lying, Lou Yuzhu heaved a sigh of relief: "I still think it was because the fourth brother paid homage to the prime minister that the elder brother resigned."

Liang Zhao was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "Your eldest brother originally thought of resigning from office, but it was because he was worried about the fourth brother that he didn't hand in the paperwork."

"It's not just because of the fourth child. A family is one, and there is no reason why anyone should be wronged just because they are weak."

Misunderstanding and explaining to Qing, the two began to chat about some daily life. After Lou Hua went down to the yamen, Lou Chen also followed, and the three moved to the study to talk and Liang Zhao went to prepare dinner.There are more than six tables open for a potluck meal, and it is full of people as far as the eye can see.

When the tables of the juniors who were seated were seated, they came up to toast in turn, and Lou Yuzhu's headache was completely relieved by waving her hands after watching it.

Lou Hua, who is in his fifties, loves to be more lively, and said with a smile: "This is what a thriving population looks like." In the past, the meritorious Lou family only had a name, but now Lou Chen has the right to worship the prime minister, and no one will look down on him in the future There is Lou Yuzhu in Zhou's mansion, who has the title of imperial husband and wife, and the sixth son, Zhou An, married the emperor's heir brother again. It is certain that the brothers will go farther and farther in the future.Looking at the prosperous population now, I can't help but think of the time when the family was not separated. I smiled and looked at Lou Yuzhu and said, "I think it was a luxury to eat meat back then. The best result is just to make a few acres of fertile land. Two adobe houses, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, I never thought there would be such good fortune.”

Lou Yuzhu also recalled the panic at the time, when they were living under the oppression of Mr. Lou and the big house, and it seemed that they would cause trouble if they said a word.

"Only I am the luckiest." Lou Chen sipped his wine and smiled, "The thing my dad used to say most often was that I fell into the nest of fortune, and he often talked about how hard it was before, for fear that I didn't know how hard it was to get money and become that dandy. Younger brother." Seeing Zhou Cheng peeling shrimps for Lou Yuzhu for decades, he immediately smiled and said: "Facts have proved that the suffering at the beginning was for the present happiness. The elder brother worships the official and the second elder brother has no worries in his life. Brother Yu is pampered by Brother Zhou." In this life, I am envious of others." Ruo paused and laughed again: "Throughout the entire Dayuan, who has been peeling shrimps for Fulang like Brother Zhou for decades?"

Lou Chen's teasing made Zhou Cheng dumbfounded. "Okay, why did you talk about me?" He said, put the peeled shrimp in the Lou Yuzhu bowl, took the hot towel from the servant, and wiped his hands.

Lou Hua smiled on the side: "I remember when I was young, the fourth child envied Brother Zhou for peeling shrimps for Brother Yu, and regretted that I was not a brother, and said that if I was a brother, I would definitely find someone like Brother Zhou who would peel shrimps for me for a lifetime." .”

Talking about the joys of youth, the whole room seems to be endless, and it took several hours to finish a dinner.

Not long after he resigned from office, Lou Hua led Liang Zhao to show his gratitude, and left Shangjing by boat in early autumn.

Zhou Cheng waited until he was delivered to the gate of the city before turning back. After a few days, he returned to the hot spring village on the outskirts of the city and continued to live a peaceful life for the two of them.The six brothers had nothing to do with the two who were getting more and more sticky, so they had to take turns to visit every five days as before.

Zhou Yu, who was supposed to go to Japan the next day, had to go one day earlier due to business, and it was already dark when Xiaya rushed to the hot spring village. He didn't want to but didn't see anyone. Xiao Zhu has gone through the world of two people.At that time, Zhou Yu was almost suffocated to death by a mouthful of old blood, and the two of them ran to the deep mountains to live a two-person world in the cold winter and heavy snow?Is this a disease or a disease or a disease? !

Holding back his anger, he scolded a group of servants, and then sent someone back to the city to deliver the letter, then turned around and led a few strong servants to search for them in the mountains against the cold wind.It was nearly two hours later when I touched the exotic small house built with stones, which happened to be the time when the pheasant was roasting.

Zhou Yu shook off the wind and snow and took the pheasant away without any politeness, and stuffed it into his mouth after a few casual breaths.It was only after going up the mountain that he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner, and he had been groping for two hours in the dark against the cold wind, but he was really starving to death!

The son was so imposing, Lou Yuzhu shrank her neck guiltily and asked, "Didn't you come here tomorrow? Why did you come today?"

Zhou Yu moved two steps away with the grilled chicken, and said coldly, "I don't want to talk now, so just pretend you didn't see me."

Zhou Cheng glared at him: "Why are you talking to your father!"

Zhou Yu retorted back: "Father should be glad that it was me who came here. If the third or fourth child, with their hot temper, they would tear down this house in minutes!"

Lou Yuzhu pulled Zhou Cheng knowing that he was wrong, and said awkwardly, "Aren't we all right? Besides, this house is solid and there are no wild animals in the mountains. There is no shortage of food and food. There is a hot spring in the back room. What can we do?"

"Father, don't explain it to me. Save your energy and explain it to the elder brother and the others tomorrow. Maybe the third and fourth will go up the mountain overnight, so you don't have to wait until tomorrow."

The fact is that the five brothers went out with sullen faces as soon as they received the news, and the unprecedented seriousness scared the servants so much that they didn't dare to come out.The five brothers rushed to the hot spring village. The eldest, fifth, and sixth arranged for the third and fourth to go up the mountain overnight. They touched the stone house when the sun was shining, and then went down the mountain without even closing their eyes.

Zhou Yi had been waiting a long time ago, commanding the people to wait for the change of clothes and serve the tea and the stove, when it was cold, the six brothers lifted their clothes and knelt down in front of the two of them.

Lou Yuzhu almost choked on her tea.

Zhou Yi said coldly: "In order to avoid this kind of situation in the future, my son feels that there should be three chapters." Ignoring Lou Yuzhu's words to get them up, he continued: "One, we have no objection to father and father wanting to live a two-person world, but The prerequisite is safety, to ensure your own health; second, not to leave us too far; third, there must be at least one person by your side."

Lou Yuzhu suppressed her nerves and said angrily, "There's no need to be so serious."

"The sons feel it is very necessary!"

The brothers Qi Xin, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng had to compromise. After three chapters of agreement, they were escorted back to the city and they were strictly forbidden to leave the city for a year. After that, Lou Chen came to the door and made a fool of Lou Yuzhu for the first time. In the end, even the two brothers Lou Hua and Lou Ming knew about it. , One after another, letters criticized the two of them.What can't be done with one's temper, what age, etc. made the two of them dumbfounded.
