The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

Xixia Temple is a famous temple, close to Wutong County, a lower-level county town in Nanyang Prefecture, more than four hours away from Huya Town.When the group entered Wutong County, Lou Yuzhu looked more prosperous than Huya Town, but still [-]% inferior to Nanyang City.

Lou Yuzhu, who was riding on a horse, politely asked passers-by to find out the address of the inn, and then led the carriage to the inn.When he found the door of the inn, he asked the waiter who came up to him, "Is there an elegant courtyard for accommodation?"

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop knew that this was a big customer, and his attitude became more and more enthusiastic: "Yes, yes, there happens to be an elegant courtyard for ten people to live in, why don't young masters go and have a look first?"

Lou Yuzhu counted the number of people in their group, got off the horse and said, "Make a decision, if it's not enough, I'll book two more upper rooms."

"Hey, this way please, young master."

Knowing that the waiter in the shop thought of herself as a kid, Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows and didn't point it out. She handed the rope to the waiter and walked in with the waiter while asking, "Is there any food now?" Then get ready to order, the taste is not good all the time, so it should be light and delicate."

"Hey, I'll go now, little one." Just as the shopkeeper came, the waiter in the shop turned around to give Lou Yuzhu's orders after repeating a few words.

The shopkeeper took over and led the crowd to the elegant courtyard.It is said that Yayuan is just a separate small courtyard for those big families to go out and stay. A few master rooms and a few servant rooms can be used together. Naturally, the comfort is not as comfortable as at home, but it is better than being scattered. Well managed.

Looking at the layout, Lou Yuzhu said to the shopkeeper: "Please prepare two rooms for my coachman to live in." Let's figure it out, I'll go and see what food is prepared in the kitchen."

Not to mention Fu Linshu's arrangements, when the food is delivered to the family for a belated lunch, the older ones have to go back to the room for a lunch break, but the younger ones are full of energy, and Ji Xiaorong even wants to go shopping, so he even more signaled to his own children noisy.

Lou Yuzhu knew that this day and a half would not pass so easily, she sighed in her heart and turned to Zhang Ling with a smile and asked, "Brother Ling, do you want to go shopping?"

Zhang Ling is a brother, although there is no rule of leaving the door and not going out of the second door, but there are always more restraints, and because he is young, his family values ​​him so much, he doesn't even go to the town often, he is just a child. Curious, the hope in the eyes cannot be hidden.

The second uncle, Zhao Shi, pulled Zhang Ling closer to him, and said to Lou Yuzhu, "Brother Yu, don't spoil him, you don't want to disrespect that god when there are people coming and going in this street."

Zhao's sympathy for him made Lou Yuzhu smile, and stretched out her hand to pull Zhang Ling closer to her side and said, "It's okay, I just walked around to relax my muscles after riding for a long time. Unless the second uncle is worried about me, afraid that I will take this baby Can't get rid of the pimple?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao has nothing to do, and seeing that Xu Se didn't speak, naturally he had to agree.

Huang Shan and Liu Kui followed, Lou Yuzhu pulled Zhang Ling and followed Huang Ying, Ji Xiaorong and Xu Chunting led the five children from the old house, asked the waiter about the situation on the street and went out to the street.The smell of the street was mixed, coupled with the scattered stalls on the side of the road, the shouts of sellers and buyers, and the sound of bargaining by buyers and sellers, Lou Yuzhu was so exhausted that she really didn't realize that there was something good to go shopping.It's a pity that no one sympathizes with his heartache, even Zhang Ling turns into a curious baby as soon as she goes to the street, looking at this and that seems to feel novelty in everything.

Lou Yuzhu had no choice but to cheer up and accompany her.

Strolling along the street from the beginning to the end, Ji Xiaorong started doing things at the beginning of the return journey, not to mention the big buys, not to mention the thick-skinned ones, and went to Lou Yuzhu either to buy it for Mr. Lou or to buy it with Liu Ama, anyway, the same purpose, no money .

Lou Yuzhu, who had already been slipped away and had no energy, really didn't want to bother with the hundreds of coins, so she waved her hand to signal Huang Ying to give the money.

Huang Ying took out her purse to pay, and Ji Xiaorong became more reckless, and blatantly started to buy things for her family, even unwilling to spend two or three pennies to buy a snack for Lou Yuan and Lou Wu.Huang Ying, who paid a few pennies in loose money, lost his temper, took out a tael of loose silver and stuffed it in Ji Xiaorong's hand, and bent his knees at him: "Your husband, you can pay by yourself, the younger one will serve my family." The young brother is gone." Then he slipped back to Lou Yuzhu's side, and gave his master a flattering smile.

Lou Yuzhu stared at him angrily, but she could understand Huang Ying.In the past few years, under his special training, Huang Ying is no longer the thin and weak brother he used to be. After seeing more big scenes, he has developed courage and courage. When his vision is broadened, his ideas are correct, and he is not willing to fight Ji Xiaorong for one or two taels of silver Also normal.It's funny to say that the Huangshan family has a lot of monthly bills in the past few years, but the richest one is not Liu Kui who is in charge of the money, but Huang Ying, the little brother, probably because he followed Lou Yuzhu to Fucheng to meet Li Shang The more the times of those young masters, the reward will naturally increase. You must know that the rewards of those young masters have never been less than a hundred liters.

Here, the master and the servant are making fun, and the big house in the other side has also started to make. Lou Yinzhu didn't turn his eyes on one or two taels of silver like Ji Xiaorong did, and opened his mouth to see the latest style of gold bracelet in the gold and jade shop, which cost more than eight or nine taels of silver. .

Lou Mingzhu once again proved that she is a wonderful woman. Before Lou Yuzhu agreed, she snatched the gold bracelet from Lou Yinzhu.

Not to be outdone, Lou Yinzhu called Lou Mingzhu shameless, saying that his father Ji Xiaorong cheated money to buy things for her family, and also used Mr. Lou and Ama Liu as excuses and so on.

When Lou Yuzhu arrived, the two were already arguing so loudly that even Ji Xiaorong and Xu Chunting, who came after them, couldn't hold back.

Lou Yuzhu rubbed her forehead, when she saw Li Yue in the store couldn't help laughing the moment he saw him, she really wanted to hide her face and run away.

Li Yue didn't expect that since a farce would involve acquaintances, he couldn't help laughing when he thought that Lou Yuzhu, who behaved calmly, had such relatives.When I saw the embarrassment on Lou Yuzhu's face, I wanted to laugh even more. Of course, I had absolutely no intention of laughing, but just trying to relieve my anger for no reason. Who would make the other party look as high-level as his mahjong level? Not much.

Seeing Li Yue's playful expression, Lou Yuzhu had no choice but to step forward to salute: "I made Brother Li laugh."

"No problem." Putting his hand on the corner of his lips and trying to hide the smile, he turned around and said, "Why did Brother Yu come to Wutong County?"

"The scientific examination will be held next year, and my dad wants to ask for auspicious symbols for my elder brother and second brother." Seeing that the scene over there was under control, Lou Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Where's Brother Li? The yamen doesn't have a holiday now."

"A little personal matter."

Seeing that Li Yue's expression was unclear, Lou Yuzhu didn't want to make trouble, and seeing that the two weirdos over there finally stopped arguing, she said with a smile: "Then I won't bother Brother Li for now, I'll stay at the Hetai Inn on the street, if something happens to Li Yue Brother, find someone to pass it on.”

"Well, go get busy."

Nodding to signal to go downstairs, Yuzhu led the two embarrassing strange flowers back to the inn, sent them to Liu Amo, threatened Liu Amo with a sullen face, and almost vomited blood, then went back to the room for lunch and rest.

It's just that before a few cups of tea, Li Yue sent someone to pass the message, so Lou Yuzhu had to change clothes and get on the carriage to the teahouse where Li Yue met.

After entering the private room, Li Yue, who was leaning against the window, withdrew his gaze from a distance and smiled at Lou Yuzhu: "It's a pity that my second brother and Sun Jin are not here, otherwise we could have a table of mahjong."

"Isn't it worthwhile to spend a good time playing mahjong?" Lou Yuzhu smiled.To be honest, he would rather deal with Li Yue than with Li Shang and those dudes with no hair.

"You can't stand that."

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but smile.

The two sat in front of the tea table, Huang Ying served the brewed tea, Lou Yuzhu took the teacup and flicked the floating tea leaves with the tea lid, and took a sip.Although it is a good tea, due to the rough method of making the tea leaves, only [-]% of the original [-]% of the sweetness is displayed, so that the bitterness in the mouth is more than the sweetness.

"It's rare to see brothers like Brother Yu who like to drink bitter tea."

Lou Yuzhu put down the teacup. "Each turnip and vegetable have their own preferences, and there will always be one or two that are different."

Li Yue was startled, then smiled, and said: "Brother Yu said so." He handed over the post at hand: "Since we met here, we won't make another trip. Please be there."

Look at the color of the post, Lou Yuzhu knew it well, opened it and it turned out to be a wedding invitation, and wrote to Li Yue, the magistrate's son, and Wang Yun'er, the son of Nanyang Prince's Mansion, to be overjoyed, and the time was the eighth day of March next year. "Congratulations, Brother Li, I will definitely be there for a wedding drink." One is the magistrate and the other is a brother from a veteran family in Nanyang Prefecture. The two are well matched in terms of family, but they don't know whether their temperaments are admirable or not.Of course, it's not Lou Yuzhu's turn to worry about this.

"Then I will wait for brother Yu to drive."

"Brother Li's words made me tremble with sincerity. When it comes to Dajia, Second Brother Pei can only be counted. I'm just a brother from a small family, and I don't dare to give money to myself."

Li Yue laughed when Lou Yuzhu said that, and then automatically filtered the conversation and turned to other things.This chat lasted for more than half an hour, and then the two parted ways, Lou Yuzhu returned to the inn and Fu Linshu was already in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Lou Yuzhu stepped into the door, seeing Fu Linshu's expression was quite puzzled.

Fu Linshu pulled people to make Huang Ying close the door, pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "Shortly after you went out, someone sent four gifts, named by name, one of which was for you, and the other pearls of gold, pearls and silver." I have a share of the beads. I said no, but the other party said it was ordered by the master's family, and went back without even confiscating the reward."

"Did the other party say who it was?" Lou Yuzhu picked up the brocade box and opened it, inside was a pair of gold-wrapped jade earrings, which could not be described as exquisite, but they were definitely thick enough.

"He said his surname was Wang, and he also said that he broke his etiquette at the Jinyu shop today for some reason. This is an apology and a meeting ceremony." Fu Linshu didn't know what to do, and he didn't even dare to move this thing here.

Lou Yuzhu's heart moved, no wonder Li Yue said it was a private matter, but it turned out that he was escorting his fiancé out to play?Thinking about putting down the brocade box in his hand, he asked, "What else did you say? What did you give Mingzhu and the others?"

"The ones for the bright pearls and silver beads seem to be the bracelets they fancy today, and the ones for the gold beads are pressed bristles and emerald greens." Fu Linshu thought for a while: "Why don't we return them? This is a precious thing." The total is nearly 40 taels Not a small amount.

"No problem." Lou Yuzhu asked Huang Ying to put away the brocade box, and smiled at Fu Linshu: "Since the other party sent it, he didn't intend to take it back. Sending it back with reluctance would be an offence. Don't worry, Dad, I know what's going on." , I will return the gift."

Back in her room, Lou Yuzhu took the brocade box from Huang Ying's hand, opened it, took a look, then closed it heavily and slapped it on the table.

Huang Ying was startled, her eyes turned around Lou Yuzhu's half-closed eyelids and her tightly pursed lips, she shrank her shoulders and picked up the quail.

Rubbing the twitching forehead, he waved his hand and said, "Take this thing away."

Huang Ying hurriedly picked up the brocade box, rushed to hide the things in the innermost part of the package, and then carefully approached Lou Yuzhu: "Master, don't be angry with yourself, it's not worth it."

Lou Yuzhu took a deep breath: "It's no wonder Li Yue's words sounded awkward. It turned out that he was afraid that I would climb high branches to find Li's house."

Huang Ying said cautiously: "Master, didn't you say that Mr. Li is sophisticated and calm? The matter of this ceremony is probably the Wang family's own decision. Mr. Li is probably still in the dark at the moment."

"What's this called?" Lou Yuzhu couldn't laugh or cry, and immediately vomited: "It is said that I climbed Li Yue, it should be said that I climbed Li Shang, right, I have only met Li Yue a few times, and I have been in touch with Li Shang for a long time."

In fact, Lou Yuzhu was right, the gift was given in the name of Wang Yuner, but the person who gave the gift was not Wang Yuner, but another brother named Lin Zilian.The other party is a family friend with the Li family, and Lin Zilian and Wang Yuner are cousins. This time Lin Zilian is the person who accompanied Wang Yuner when he went out. He took the initiative to humiliate Lou Yuzhu because he cares about Li Shang, and Li Shang always talks about Lou Yuzhu. name.When young Aimu felt jealous, there was this inexplicable meeting ceremony.

As for Li Yue, he really wanted to test Lou Yuzhu in his heart.With this test, he had already confirmed in his heart that Lou Yuzhu had no intentions towards the Li family, whether it was towards Li Shang or him.
