The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

The previous visit to Li's Mansion treated Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng as transparent people. This time, Li Zhifu personally entertained Lou Chengyi at the door, and politely led Lou Chengyi into the study room to entertain him. After introducing them to the group, they led Lou Hua and Zhou Cheng to their own study, while Fu Linshu and Lou Yuzhu chatted with the rest of the masters and husbands.

Wang Yun'er, who was by her family's side, looked at Lou Yuzhu, who was exquisite and self-contained in her answers, and her eyes were complicated. The days of contempt and neglect were still in a trance yesterday, but today she was praised as a guest of honor. In a good marriage, the rapid changes make people caught off guard and also make people face fever.

The magistrate Yujun didn't know what his daughter-in-law was thinking, so he smiled and said a few words to Fu Linshu, then turned his head to Lou Yuzhu and said, "Speaking of it, I want to apologize to Brother Lou. If you're not sensible, you're going to be slow, Brother Lou, so I'll let Brother Yun serve you tea to accompany you."

Wang Yun'er, who was in trouble from the sky, was immediately stunned.He knew about his father-in-law asking his father-in-law to apologize, but there was no such thing as asking him to serve tea to apologize, and it was obviously his fault to ask him to serve tea to apologize for something that had nothing to do with him?It's just that he is a new husband, and he has to guard the room on the wedding day, so he has no chance to meet guests, how can he treat him?Anyone with a discerning eye will know when they think about it, so this apology is nothing more than a joke.But the other party is the family man and he is the daughter-in-law, how dare he disobey the elders?

Taking the teacup from the slave with shaking hands, Wang Yuner's eyes glistened with tears.

Lou Yuzhu, who saw it in her eyes, walked over, put the teacup in Wang Yuner's hand back on the tea tray, and said with a smile: "Why don't you apologize, because I left early that day, I didn't say a word of auspiciousness to the new husband. , it should be my apology."

Wang Yun'er, who was ready to be shameless, had a flash of gratitude in her eyes, and thanked her down the steps: "Brother Lou, you are generous."

"It's nothing at all," Lou Yuzhu smiled, and motioned to the stool: "I don't want to stand for a long time when I'm pregnant, just sit and rest for a while."

Wang Yun'er's face froze, she glanced at the family man's face with a sidelight, and then her heart sank.Asking the pregnant daughter-in-law to stand by to set the rules, and asking someone else to remind her not to stand for a long time, isn't this referring to Sang and scolding Huai Daoist for being mean?Others are happy to mention it, but the prefect Zhengjun who can't get angry will only put the fault on him.

Is this suspicion that he is sowing discord?Lou Yuzhu, who was close, didn't miss the expression on Wang Yuner's face, and backed away with a smile.

The atmosphere on the family’s side can’t be said to be good, but Li Yue’s side is fine. After all, they are all sons of the same family, and their knowledge, education and vision are carefully trained. Although Lou Hua is not as pampered as them, he is the only one in the room with a serious official position People, Zhou Cheng has always been a pragmatic person. He can just listen to the elegant speeches of these young masters, but he is not interested in participating.

Xiao Louchen listened with great interest, and heard that one of them praised a person in Nanyang City who could make plans with both hands, Ruodai smiled lightly and said: "What is this? The shapes are elegant and beautiful, and the block letters are upright and elegant, which even Mr. Mu praised, but unfortunately, my aptitude is not half as good as Brother Yu's, and I can't write well, but I can try my hand at the abacus."

Qualifications are not enough?Lou Hua winked, and it's over~ Lou Chen pretended not to know, and performed quick calculations with both hands on the two ledgers provided by Li Yue, and when the two beeps passed through, the numbers obtained were impressively consistent with the end of the ledgers. Same.

Lou Chen is only five years old, ordinary children don't even know how to count, but here Lou Chen not only knows how to plan with both hands? !The aristocrats on the side trembled, this is going against the sky!

Seeing the sullen expressions on the faces of the nobles who had been crushed by him, Lou Chen pretended to be sad and said: "Arbitrage with both hands is based on sharp eyesight and quick hands. It is not difficult to do it if you practice it. The kind of multi-purpose. For example, I play three kinds of chess at the same time with Brother Yu, Big Brother, and Second Brother, or the kind of chess that changes at any time..."

Lou Hua coughed lightly, gave Lou Chen a proper look, and said to the noble young masters whose eyeballs were popping out in shock, "It's just a game in spare time, it can't be real."

Lou Chen squinted at him.If you can't do it, return my lucky money~~ When you go out, your Brother Yu told you to keep a low profile, forgot?

have eaten!Lou Chen smacked his lips.

Thanks to Lou Chen, the 'Gongdelou Family' had a strong sense of presence in front of all the nobles in the prefecture, and when someone who cared about it asked about it, he was immediately full of energy like a chicken blood!The small one is too small, and my brother can't get in his hands, but there are two more!The second child is still two years old, and the eldest is 16 years old!Moreover, he is the eldest son and already holds an official position. Such a good son-in-law is hard to find with a lantern!

Those who come to the door at once, and those who invite to enjoy the flowers, are enough to make Fu Linshu busy. The brother who was brought to him for various reasons is dazzled, and he is given a lot of greetings, but it is not clear whether he likes it or not. will say.Because the whole family has reached a consensus a long time ago that they will never engage in blind marriage and dumb marriage. The person to be married needs to be determined by themselves.

Of course, it's okay to talk about my brother's situation without making decisions.This day, Fu Linshu introduced the situation of the two brothers he met today as usual, seeing that Lou Hua was still indifferent, he said helplessly: "If Da Lang doesn't have a constitution in his heart, it's not a problem to keep looking at it like this."

Lou Hua was still at a loss about the marriage, and he couldn't explain why even if he asked him.

Lou Yuzhu looked amused: "Brother, if you don't know what's in your heart, then let's talk about it today." If you don't speak out what you think in your heart, it will always be a vague concept. "The elder brother is the eldest son, and he will be the husband of the eldest gentleman in the future. He must be respectful and filial to his superiors, loving and lenient towards his subordinates, and he must be tactful and tactful when dealing with others. The conditions can't be bad, and you must do your best for the eldest brother, and Xinyu Aimu is the best."

"There is no perfect person in this world." Fu Linshu said to him.

"It can't be said to be perfect," Lou Yuzhu pursed her lower lip and said happily, "I can only say that she is virtuous and capable. Of course, you can't ask too much now. As long as your character is correct and simple, you will get better and better after the day after tomorrow." Like Forget about Wang Yuner's deep persecution paranoia.

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is."

Lou Hua was deeply moved: "How about Brother Yu help me check?"

"I don't want to interfere in this matter, it's up to the elder brother to check it himself."

"No matter how I check it, I can't see it.",

Lou Hua's words caused Fu Linshu to stare at him, "Hello everyone, how can a foreigner meet casually?"

Lou Yuzhu definitely has a way: "Father always accepts banquets from other people's houses, and it's only right to invite him once." He will be the guide at that time, and there will always be one or two encounters. "Father, don't be in a hurry, I'll let someone inquire about it."

Soon, Lou Yuzhu, who had inquired about it, asked someone to send invitations to them, because their house in Fucheng was not big, so they only invited five families at a time, and three of them were accompanying guests.After seeing off the guests in the afternoon, Lou Hua shook his head, Lou Yuzhu had no choice but to accept his labor and complain and draw up another invitation card.

Not wanting the plan to fail to keep up with the changes, one day when Lou Hua went out, he bumped into a brother from another family. When he came back and said something, Lou Yuzhu immediately asked people to inquire.

"The elder brother said that the elder brother is Liang Zhao, the direct elder brother of Master Liang." Only after this inquiry did I realize that there are so many bad things in the world! "It's not new for Master Liang to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife in Nanyang City, but it's a strange story for a concubine to have more face than a righteous monarch. Zhengjun's surname is Tang, and he has only one child, Liang Zhao, in his life. Because his father doesn't like him, he is not valued by the Liang master. He has been living with Tang Zhengjun in the old house of the Liang family. The news that Zhao Xin was vicious and murdered his younger brother, the Lin family used this as an excuse to resign. Afterwards, the first son of the Lin family remarried, Liang Zhao's reputation became worse and worse, and he still has no marriage. Considering his age, he should only be older than The eldest brother is two months younger."

"How does Brother Yu feel?" Lou Hua asked in a deep voice.

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "I haven't seen it, I haven't contacted it, so I don't have the right to speak. But judging from the rumors, it may not be true."

"How to say?"

"Brother, think about it. There were rumors first and then there was a divorce. Either the rumors were true, or the Lin family had long ago intended to withdraw from the marriage and cooperated with Liang Zhu Bo's concubine to ruin Liang Zhao's marriage. It was only for his own benefit." Lou Yuzhu hooked her lips: "I am inclined to the latter. After all, if Liang Zhao is really a vicious person, his father and son will not be overwhelmed by a concubine's house. We will know which family and its relationship with the concubine's room."

There is no need to check the facts before them. A little inquiring shows that the family where the Lin family's first son is married is related to the concubine of the Liang master Bo, and the three parties form a chain of interests. No wonder the insignificant Liang Zhao will become a victim.

"I hope my elder brother can think clearly whether he has a good impression of Liang Zhao or out of sympathy for what happened to him. If it is the former, everyone is happy. If it is the latter, I still advise elder brother to think twice. Marriage is not a child's play, a little sympathy It can't last for decades, don't end up hurting the other party and yourself."

Lou Yuzhu's words made Lou Hua fall into hard thinking, and he still didn't change his original intention.

Lou Hua's personality is understood by Lou Yuzhu, who is destined to be unable to play the "love at first sight" routine after experiencing hardships in his youth, and is only suitable for boiling frogs in warm water with constant flow. "Since Big Brother has made a decision, we will naturally support it. Father and I will go and have a look tomorrow."

The next day, he knocked on the door of the Liang family's old house on the grounds that the passing carriage was broken down. Three days later, he entrusted Li Zhifu as a guarantor, and the Liang master Bo Na proposed marriage.Li Zhifu personally secured the matchmaker Liang Zhubo, so naturally he didn't dare to refuse, and respectfully offered him his birthday, and soon it was the day of giving the betrothal gift.

There are already a lot of silk and cloth for eighteen loads of precious antiques, but what attracts people's attention is a pair of mandarin ducks and vases, twelve taels of gold, and two brocades with rich flowers.The Lou family's ability to use the imperial gift as a betrothal gift shows that they attach great importance to this marriage, but everyone knows that the imperial gift is a heavy burden to put on makeup, and it is even more important to carry it back intact if it is brought here. Therefore, what makes people envious are the two brocades that are said to be miraculous and only hear their names but not their objects, which are called "inch cloth inch gold".

The two brocades were opened to be admired, and others unconsciously gave out admiration.

Sitting at the top of the list, Bo Shen felt that his face was bright, and he seemed to have forgotten that he had treated Liang Zhao and his son so poorly for decades.In fact, it's not to blame him for not taking it seriously, the world is like this, he is Liang Zhao's father, he can only respect him for the rest of his life, and he is Tang Fulang's husband, so he should be at his mercy.The smooth sailing and the other party's resignation have made Liang Zhubo forget that the other party was once young and proud. For Liang Zhao, the other party has endured humiliation for more than ten years. When Liang Zhao gets married and has a husband's family to rely on, he has no bargaining chips in his hand. If they are restrained, the other party will still live in the seat of the titular master Bo Junfulang? !
