The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

A puzzle game brought the group of people closer together, and the atmosphere became more harmonious when they woke up and smiled at each other.After celebrating the Chinese New Year and having breakfast, the crowd chatted around the stove, roasting chestnuts and horseshoes from time to time, just in time for a little fun, but there was a knock on the courtyard door.

There are no elders in Sanfang, so it stands to reason that no one will come up to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year.The whole family looked at each other in dismay, but Lou Chengyi got up and went to open the door.

Afterwards, the two uninvited people threw away Lou Chengyi and entered the room by themselves, saluting to Elder Mu with bright eyes.

"Meet sir."

"Meet sir."

Old Mu is worthy of being a giant in today's literary world. He asked calmly, "Who are you?"

"Student Lou Chengzu was a scholar in Jiazheng Year."

"Student Lou Wen is studying at Luyuan Academy."

Lou Yuzhu laughed angrily when she saw these two uninvited people.Slap Sanfang in the face while wearing the clothes and shoes that Sanfang gave as an annual gift?The poor father and son did it.Thinking of this, Lou Yuzhu sneered, what can't a villain who can even be sold by his own elder brother do?Like a father, like a son, these two fathers and sons are a perfect match!

Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu looked at each other, got up and said, "Uncle and big cousin come to the house on the first day of the new year for something important?"

Lou Chengzu said reservedly: "Your grandpa heard that there are distinguished guests coming to the house. My special brother asked us to come and invite Mr. Mu and Mr. Pei to the old house for lunch. Thank you Mr. Mu and Mr. Pei for taking care of Sanfang all the time. .”

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu only felt that the old man's thick skin really refreshed his cognition again.

Mr. Mu smiled and stroked his beard but shook his head and refused. It was even more impossible for Pei Guanying to go.

In order to persuade the two of them, Lou Chengzu bent over and over again, and Lou Wen also lost his head a few words, but Mr. Mu and Pei Guanying are not from small families, and if they refuse, they will refuse and will not waver.

"Since Mr. Mu and Second Brother Pei are unwilling to go, there is no need for uncle and first cousin to persuade you." After Lou Yuzhu finished speaking, she smiled at Mr. Mu: "Didn't Mr. Mu say yesterday that he wanted to read my handwriting? Why don't you go to the study now, and I'll write two old Mu to give me pointers?"

Elder Mu naturally promised that if Pei Guanying went with Zhou Cheng, he would naturally not stay.

The father and son of Lou Chengzu who had been ignored all the time blushed, obviously very angry.

Lou Hua raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, and said in a balanced tone: "Our family has distinguished guests, and it is inconvenient to entertain uncle and first cousin. Please go back, and we won't send them off."

"you!"

Lou Wen stopped Lou Chengzu, who was extremely angry, and glanced at Lou Hua: "You think you will definitely pass the exam?"

"That doesn't bother elder cousin."

Hearing this, Lou Wen frowned: "A word of advice, don't be too arrogant, you need to know that things are impermanent, and the one who laughs last is the winner."

"Big cousin should say this to himself." Lou Hua raised his eyebrows, a sneer flashed in his eyes.To say that others are arrogant, has he never looked in the mirror? Who has always looked at people with their nostrils?

This day the two father and son ran into trouble in Sanfang. He was going to visit Sanfang to visit the old house to pay New Year's greetings. Mr. Lou's face was so tense that he didn't stop laughing.Fortunately, they were prepared beforehand, except for Lou Chengyi who felt a little uncomfortable, the rest of them would go in from the left ear and out from the right ear as if the other party was farting.But the brothers and sisters are not easy to bully, and they spread the style of the meal that the old house served Sanfang to the whole village. The fact that the New Year gifts are not served on the table is described in detail!The annual gift from Sanfang is the first one in eight villages. Not to mention meat and fish, but also the rare game and beef that ordinary people can't eat. There are so many things that you have to take out one or two. Are you entertaining the third room?But look at the dishes, tsk, do you still think that Sanfang is the Sanfang who used to make a living under their hands? !

Not to mention how the people in the village arranged the old house and were stingy and stingy, but Sanfang went to Zhang's house to pay New Year's greetings and rest until the fifteenth, and then got busy again.Lou Hua and Lou Ming went to Mu Lao's class to attend classes, and Lou Yuzhu started to buy a shop and a secondary yard in the town.The shop should not be too big, just enough to sell some braised snacks such as duck neck, duck feet, chicken feet, and rare chicken feet. The second courtyard is for the two brothers Lou Hualou and Ming who often stay in the town. After all, it’s not a problem to live in Pei Guanying all the time. .

When the gluttonous snacks are spread out and Erjin's yard is repaired and equipped with servants, it will be March.

This day Xu Se came to the door and dragged Fu Linshu to stay in the room for a long time. Lou Yuzhu was curious and led Xiao Louchen to listen to the corner of the wall, but when she was discovered, she did not hesitate to lead Xiao Louchen into the door.

Fu Linshu was quite helpless, and nodded Lou Yuzhu's forehead bitterly: "Take my brother to listen to the corner, you are such a big brother?"

Xu Se didn't care anymore, pulled Lou Yuzhu from Fu Linshu and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is not someone else, it's okay to listen to it, but since I heard it, it's good to give my grandma some advice."

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Then, let's talk about it, it's hard to listen to a half-worded person."

The matter is simple, but Zhang Ling has reached the age of marriage, and Xu Se is worried about the engagement. "In the past, when the family conditions were not good, I was worried about their marriage, thinking that I could always find a suitable one regardless of their looks or family background; now that the conditions are better, I am also worried. There are too many people who come to make friends, and I am confused for a while. If you pick the wrong one, won’t it harm the child for the rest of his life?”

"Grandma, this is hypocritical." Lou Yuzhu first hugged Xiao Louchen to the chair, and the two brothers squeezed a chair together and said, "It's good to have a choice when the conditions are good, it's better than having no choice." But let me tell you, getting married is a matter of a lifetime, and you should ask your cousin who you want to choose."

Xu Se was surprised: "The matter of getting married has always been decided by the elders, how can the younger generation choose it by themselves?"

"Why can't you choose by yourself? After all, the person who spends a lifetime with the other party is the big cousin. If it is not what you want, how can you bear the heart of the big cousin to face someone you don't like all your life? If you want to get married, wealth does not count as background. It only lasts long if you have a close eye, doesn't it?"

"But,"

"Grandma, don't be a fool. My eldest cousin is honest and calm, and follows my uncle. You have to believe that he will not pick on that rude and rude troublemaker." Blind marriage is not advisable, but it has always been the case in the world Lou Yuzhu doesn't have that big ambition to change his fate, he can only try his best to make sure that the people around him don't suffer from it.

Hearing that Fu Linshu also persuaded him a few words, Xu Se had to go home to discuss with Mr. Zhang, and after getting the other party's consent, he asked Zhang Ling quietly to ask if he was happy.I didn't want to ask this question, but when Xu Se heard about the family, he immediately became worried again, and couldn't help but ran to the third room to find an idea.

"Your cousin Xinyi's brother is called Zhao Rou. In the past few years, the two of you got close. In recent years, I haven't thought about it so much. I also said that your cousin has learned to avoid suspicion. I don't want to. Your eldest cousin avoids suspicion to the point of avoiding suspicion, but he has the idea of ​​​​protecting the other party's reputation, and he has no communication in the open, but he still has contact in private."

Lou Yuzhu was puzzled: "It's a good thing that big cousin has someone he likes, why is grandma still worried?"

"I'm worried about the situation of the other party's family." Xu Se sighed and explained: "Zhao Rou is a grown-up Zhou Zheng, and he can work and manage the house neatly. It's just that he lost his father since he was a child. His father is also often sick. He needs to take care of everything, big and small, and there is a 12-year-old brother to take care of. The conditions are poor, and it’s okay to need the help of her husband’s family. After all, everyone has suffered. I have nothing to say to Zhao Rou. Yes, I will burp Zhao Rou's father Zhao Daniu."

"Is the other party a shameless person?"

Xu Se sighed: "If a sloppy face is easy to pass, just give some money to help him on weekdays, but Zhao Daniu is not good at this slapstick trick. He is stubborn and wants to save face, and he likes to pinch the sharp and strong. Back then, his husband was there Sometimes people persuaded him, but later his husband died and no one persuaded him, he became more stubborn. It must be rough for a man to live with two elder brothers, but the other party insisted on not mentioning the matter of remarriage, insisting that he could Raising the children, ignoring the kindness of the villagers and fighting with their brothers to death. When they are old, they are overworked and suffer from various diseases, and they spend money on medicines to make the two children hungry and thin. But he still stubbornly wants to save face and refuses to accept the neighbor's kindness, this kind of person really makes people want to beat him up!"

Lou Yuzhu was dumbfounded, she really didn't expect that there are people in the world who are so stubborn that they would die.

"When the conditions were not good before, your grandfather could still say a few words to Zhao Daniu. Since our family's conditions are good, then Zhao Daniu will not be able to come to the house. I am afraid that others will say that he is greedy for wealth." Xu Se couldn't help but support his forehead. : "I'm afraid that if Zhao Daniu disagrees with this marriage, the two families will be ugly. If Zhao Rou reluctantly agrees to the marriage, Zhao Rou will be annoyed and the two will die. Then it will not be marriage but enmity."

"What does Big Cousin mean?" Lou Yuzhu immediately asked, since Zhang Ling is the person involved in this matter, the main thing is to listen to his opinion.

Xu Se said helplessly: "That's why I have a headache. Your cousin has decided that Zhao Rou is dead."

One party believes that one party's elders disagree. According to the general setting of dog blood dramas, it should be that the rich party disagrees with the poor party, but here it is the other way around.The wealthy party agrees, but the poor party disagrees with life and death, which is really annoying and funny.

"Since the eldest cousin likes it, then Zhao Rou is not bad. Grandma, why don't you think about it. There is no reason to separate the couple for this inexplicable reason."

"I think so too," Xu Se nodded, and then sighed: "Now I just hope that Zhao Daniu can get enlightened once."

Let Huangshan take a bullock cart to send Xu Se back, but within two days news came that Xu Se was ill. Fu Linshu couldn't sit still and wanted to rush to Zhangjiacun.It was Lou Yuzhu who pulled people, let Huangshan put on the bullock cart and asked Liu Kui to go to Xia Tian to find Lou Chengyi, and then sent Huang Ying to the town to inform Lou Hua and Lou Ming, and then left Huangshan husband and wife to guard the house and let Lou Chengyi drive The bullock cart went to Zhangjiacun.

Hurrying all the way to the door, Lou Yuzhu felt relieved when she saw the look of the second uncle who came out to greet her.

When Fu Linshu entered the door, he kept asking what was wrong and why he was sick. He went to the doctor to see what the doctor said, etc. Lou Yuzhu softly persuaded: "Father, don't worry, how do you let the second uncle answer so many questions all at once?"

The second uncle opened his mouth and said, "Brother Lin, you should ask daddy yourself."

Xu Se, who was lying in the house, heard the voice and was about to get up after putting on his clothes. Fu Linshu came in and looked at the door, hurried over to persuade him: "Father is not feeling well, it's better to lie down."

Lou Yuzhu also followed her: "Is Grandma feeling better?"

Xu Se leaned against the bed in her cloak, and said with a smile, "It's nothing at all, but it makes me feel like I'm seriously ill."

"The more minor the illness, the more attention must be paid not to prolong it into a serious illness." Lou Yuzhu thanked the uncle for the tea and asked: "Have you invited the doctor to see it?" Seeing that the uncle said please, he asked again: "Doctor How do you say it? Can you prescribe medicine? Is there a prescription for it? Let me have a look."

The uncle went to get the prescription, and Xu Se replied by himself: "Just talk about a little cold, take some medicine and rest for two days, and you will be fine."

The elder uncle in that room handed over the prescription, and Lou Yuzhu replied as she took it: "Grandma said it easily, and you still think you are in your 30s and [-]s?" Looking down at the prescription, Da Mingtang couldn't see it, but He had memorized some prescriptions for diseases, and the main medicines prescribed in this prescription were not for curing wind and cold, but for warming the liver and nourishing qi.Pressing the prescription by her hand, Lou Yuzhu raised her eyes: "How did this disease come about? Did you say it yourself, or should I find a few uncles to talk about it?"

Embarrassment flashed across Xu Se's face: "It's just that I kicked the quilt because it was too hot at night."

"Who kicks the quilt and kicks the anger? Huh?" Seeing Fu Linshu's suspicion, Lou Yuzhu handed over the prescription: "This prescription is not a cure for wind and cold at all, but a medicine for warming the liver and nourishing qi. These two diseases are fundamentally different. No doctor would make a mistake!"

"Warming the liver?" Fu Linshu didn't understand the principles of medicine, but he understood the word 'warming the liver'. "Who made Dad angry?"

Xu Se still wanted to cover up, but the uncle stood up by himself. "It's my fault, Father Lao is worried."

Lou Yuzhu guessed: "Is it because of the elder cousin's marriage?" Looking at the expressions on the two of them, he knew that he had guessed right, and said: "If the other party really disagrees, it's fine, talk to the elder cousin carefully, and trust the elder cousin. understandable."

Hearing that uncle's eyes were red, Xu Se sighed, "It's no longer a matter of agreeing or disagreeing." Xu Se didn't want to say it because it was a little inappropriate to say this scandal in front of Lou Yuzhu, but it's not right now. I can't care less about this. "...Your big cousin and Zhao Rou...have a beginning and end."
