The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

When the wedding date is fixed, the communication between the two families will increase.From time to time, Lou Hua would send some small gifts, snacks, etc. to clear up the sense of presence, and Lou Yuzhu and Lou Chen would incarnate as gods to assist them, asking Liang Zhao out from time to time, and then looking for opportunities to let Lou Hua be alone with him.

On this day, Lou Yuzhu and Lou Chen walked in front and looked east and west, while Lou Hua and Liang Zhao fell behind.

"Is there anyone you like?" Lou Hua asked, looking at Liang Zhao who was beside him in a plain suit.

Liang Zhaoxian raised his eyebrows: "Not at all."

Both sides of the street are very lively, there are exquisite gadgets and household objects, and I saw someone weaving a mat out of palm leaves in the corner, Lou Hua went to ask someone to ask for two tender green palm leaves, and sat down at the wonton booth next to it , and then we made up the grasshopper.It's been a long time since I edited it, but it's easy to remember things with deep images. Soon, a green and lifelike grasshopper slowly appeared in his hand.

Liang Zhao was dumbfounded, unable to imagine that the gentle and polite Lou Hua would make up such an interesting gadget.

"Before our family was poor, when we went to the market in the town, we would pick wild palm leaves and weave them into grasshoppers to sell. If we sold them for ten yuan at a time, we felt that there was nothing better than that." After weaving the lifelike grasshopper into Liang Zhao's hand, Lou Hua smiled softly. "Put it on the window sill at night to let it get some dew, and it can be preserved for many days."

Looking at the lifelike grasshopper in his hand, Liang Zhao didn't realize it for a while.

"I heard that Lin Lang looked for you yesterday?"

Liang Zhao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help saying bitterly: "I have looked for it, but I haven't seen it." The person who grew up with him has joined forces with an outsider to ruin his reputation. It's fine if he retires and marry someone else, but he shouldn't secretly spoil his in-laws With the idea of ​​forcing him to be a concubine.

Lou Hua patted his hand and smiled reassuringly: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. The past is not your fault, and I will take care of the future. You can rest assured." The person under his wing is him Whoever dares to touch it must be prepared to bear his anger.

A few days later, the news came that Lin Lang had lost his fame as a scholar. Liang Zhaocai knew what Lou Hua said at the time, and his empty heart suddenly felt like a warm current was poured into it.

When the news of Lou Hua's engagement came back to Yan's Village, Mr. Lou couldn't sit still. He found Lou Chengyi to mean that Lou Wen's elder brother hadn't married yet, so there was no reason for his younger brother to get married first.

Lou Yuzhu laughed immediately: "The cousins ​​who have separated are so particular. According to grandpa, there are not many people in the world who can't be close."

Mr. Lou also knew that the reason was far-fetched, so he pulled out a wimpy smile and said, "Grandfather knows that you are different now, but you are all from the same lineage. Boss and his family are not good-looking, and your faces are also dull, aren't you?"

Lou Yuzhu pretended to drink tea and didn't answer, Lou Chengyi looked at it and dared not speak, Fu Linshu never said anything to Old Man Lou.

No one answered, Mr. Lou was full of embarrassment, but he still spoke, and said in a pleading tone: "For the sake of the same lineage, tell Da Lang a name for marriage? Regardless of the background, as long as the person is filial good!"

"In my image, every time my grandfather comes to the door, it seems that it is because of my uncle and cousin," Lou Yuzhu sighed after glancing at Mr. Lou's stiff face, and continued: "If we need money, we don't hesitate, but when it comes to kissing, we don't care about it." It shouldn't be."

"Why?!" Mr. Lou was in a hurry: "Da Lang has a reputation as a scholar, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to tell him about the marriage based on your skills today? You don't help with the matter of raising your hand?!"

"What do you mean 'not to help'? Could it be that we didn't help in the past?" Said that the first and second housekeepers are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, and the most unfamiliar person should be Mr. Lou.Regardless of whether it was before or after the separation, how did Sanfang treat Mr. Lou badly?Food, clothes, shoes and socks are all provided by the third house, including the medicines taken in the previous visits to the doctor. They said that the good doctors in the village were not good at medical skills, so they invited the doctors in the town. The medicines were expensive, and the tonics were also taken. Quite a lot, but it's Sanfang's fault to see what he said! "Since we're talking about this, Grandpa, let's make it clear. Whether it's the marriage of the eldest cousin, the second cousin or the third cousin, or Brother Jin and Brother Yin, we don't care. We don't lack half of the gift money, but if you come forward Saying goodbye will never work."

Grandpa Lou opened his mouth.

Lou Yuzhu sneered.If I knew today, why bother?Back then, Lou Mingzhu was lured into being a concubine by ruining the reputation of the Guo family brother. Now Zhengjun is controlling her so that she can't even have children. She can get a little favor because of her youth and good looks. Lonely life?Poor Ji Xiaorong acquiesced to this matter for dozens of taels of silver, but he didn't know that Lou Mingzhu's hardship was yet to come.

When Mr. Lou was sent away, Lou Yuzhu said to the couple: "Father, Father, no matter who asks us to say goodbye in the future, we can't agree, especially the old house." Seeing Lou Chengyi's eyes showing hesitation, Lou Yuzhu had no choice but to break it open and talk to him. "Taking the marriage of the eldest cousin as an example, we absolutely cannot agree to it. Firstly, the affair with the Guo family before the first cousin was really embarrassing. Second, Dad has to think about it. The eldest brother said that the object of the marriage was from an official family. The reputation of Shanggongdelou’s family, can we tell the big cousin that it’s not a good family? It can’t be too bad, right? Take a step back and say that even if there is such a suitable person, who will you help when the two families have trouble? Help big cousin, People say that you are partial to helping each other, but they also say that we don’t care about brotherhood. And we told our eldest cousin, what about the second cousin and the third cousin? What about Jin Ge and Yin Ge? Should we help? In the future, the entanglement will be unclear, so it's better not to be in this muddy water." Mr. Lou doesn't believe in anything that he doesn't look at the background as long as he is filial, whoever believes is stupid!The benefits belong to the old house, but the debt of favor belongs to the third room, so it's a good idea!

Not to mention how angry Sanfang didn't help the old house, and soon it was time for the autumn harvest.The previous spring plowing and summer harvesting was assisted by Zhou Cheng. This time, because the other party went to Beijing to drink Pei Guanying’s wedding wine, the harvest of [-] acres of fertile land fell to Lou Chengyi and Lou Ming. Lou Hua had to cooperate with Li Yue to count Huya. The two seasons of grain harvest in the county are not free to help.

After the autumn harvest was over and the grain was put into the warehouse, Lou Yuzhu began to prepare for the New Year's ceremony.First of all, five bolts of brocade and thirty bolts of fine silk and satin sent to the emperor, and fine distilled wine and fruit wine produced by Fifty Tan Winery, and finally, the fine ham and pork belly smoked by Lou Yuzhu according to modern methods. Good bacon is a precedent for the Lou family to give the emperor a New Year's gift, but who made the Gongde Lou family win the holy grace?Five bolts of brocade have already made the emperor laugh from ear to ear. Thirty bolts of high-quality silk have patterns and colors that are hard to see in the market. Needless to say, fifty altars of high-quality distilled wine and fruit wine, the refreshing thing is that the taste is excellent The ham is delicious whether it is a side dish or a single dish. There is also fat and thin bacon, cut into slices, steamed with dried bean chili powder, and served with white rice. The emperor can eat three bowls by surprise. The heart that was waiting to be frightened was terrified, fearing that the emperor would be full of food.When the emperor was happy, the rewards came down like flowing water. Hearing that Lou Hua got married in February, he even prepared congratulatory gifts.

Of course, Lou Yuzhu didn't know about it yet, so she was relieved only to prepare the New Year's gift before sending it out.

Zhou Cheng is busier than Lou Yuzhu, inn, silk, winery, Xinyilou, big food shop, ice cellar, off-season vegetables and ham and bacon from the two newly made Zhuangzi, as well as the newly opened garment shop and Jinlou Wait, he's dazzled just looking at the accounts, let alone the year-end entertainment.It's just that no matter how busy he is, he still finds time to personally deliver the New Year's gift to Lou's family.

Fu Linshu took the gift list without even looking at it, and ordered the servants to do all the work of watching the stove and serving hot tea, and said strangely: "It's cold and busy, just send someone over, why bother to go by yourself."

Zhou Cheng said it was okay, and Lou Chen ran over and shouted, "Brother Zhou is here? Did you bring me something fun?"

Lou Yuzhu stepped in from behind, and Zhou Cheng, who was dressed in a brocade suit with a jade button on his head, shook his eyes, blinked and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Didn't you mean you couldn't get away?"

"Faster than expected."

Lou Chen went straight to the gift list, looked it over quickly with Fu Linshu's annoyed eyes, and said, "Why did brother Zhou send so many emerald jade ornaments and clothes? My brother Yu doesn't wear them, so it's a waste to store them in the closet."

Zhou Cheng coughed dryly and turned his head slightly.

Fu Linshu snatched back the gift list, twisted his ears and cursed: "It's getting worse and worse! Go back to the house and face the wall!" Looking back, he rushed to Yuzhu and said, "Brother Yu, call Zhou Cheng, I'll supervise this kid to practice calligraphy." .”

Having known each other for so long, there is nothing to avoid suspicion. Before going out, Zhou Cheng asked someone to take a fox fur from the New Year's gift, shook it off and put it on Lou Yuzhu himself: "It's going to snow again, don't worry about going out, it's better than catching a cold and taking medicine." Well done."

There is floor heating when entering the door, and it is so difficult to go out. It is really troublesome to take it off and put it on again. The most important thing is that he is really a man in his heart, and he does not have the self-consciousness of being delicate. "Talk to me, why don't you wear it?"

"I'm very angry, if you don't believe me, touch it."

Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand, and Lou Yuzhu touched it subconsciously, and found that it was indeed warm and fiery.The original owner was quite weak due to long-term malnutrition. In summer, his palms were sweaty. In winter, his hands and feet were cold and he couldn't cover it. He drank a lot of tonic soup, but the effect was not great.

In a flash, Zhou Cheng had already walked a long way while holding his hand, the other's palm was hot and comfortable, it was comfortable, but it felt weird, whether he had earned it or not. "Let go!"

Tilting his head slightly, Zhou Cheng replied firmly: "Don't let go!"

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu's eyes were about to pop out.Is he being molested or being molested or being molested?

One struggled endlessly, while the other held on tight. The two just walked through the corridor and through the courtyard. The servants that passers-by encountered all left in a hurry after seeing the ceremony, pretending not to know about their awkwardness, and waiting until they left. Yuancai let out a muffled laugh.

Lou Yuzhu became more and more annoyed when she heard the muffled laugh, and glared at him, "Let go!"

Zhou Cheng word for word: "No, let go!"

"Are you going to let it go?"

"How about not letting go?"

Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows, Lou Yuzhu hit him angrily, with such strength the opponent didn't even frown, Lou Yuzhu had no choice but to tickle him angrily, not wanting the calm and steady Zhou Cheng since he was really ticklish.

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows when she found that she had hit the nail on the head, and the teasing in her eyes was undisguised.

Just now, Zhou Cheng coughed lightly from a slightly uneven laugh, his ears were red and he tilted his head slightly.You can't blame him for being ticklish by nature, and he doesn't want to.

"Will you let it go?"

Zhou Cheng straightened his back, still saying word by word: "No, let go!"

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows, and with a smirk on her lips, she scratched at his waist.

Because Zhou Cheng doesn't let go, the distance to avoid is limited, and there is always a scratch that can be scratched in two or three. Lou Yuzhu, with bright eyes and slightly raised mouth, pressed a kiss on her forehead, with a loving and gentle tone.

"Don't make trouble."
