The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

Half a year later, Lou Chen married Mu Shu, the eldest grandson of Mu, and at the same time entered the Hanlin Academy as a seventh-rank official; in the same year, Lou Hua was transferred to Beijing and lived in the capital for a long time; Lou Ming and Wei Qi took care of their parents in Yanjia Village; Yuzhu gave birth to a fat boy again, named Zhou Rui.Lou Yuzhu, who had originally planned to never have another child, was unfortunately recruited again, and gave birth to a child again after her fifth, two and a half years old, named Zhou An.

In May of the same year, Grandpa Lou passed away, and Liu Ahmo suffered a stroke. After Lou Chengli and Lou Chengyi buried Grandpa Lou beautifully, they asked Grandpa Liu if he didn't want to live with them, so they hired someone to take care of them.Because Liu Amo had a weird temperament and was difficult to take care of, the caretaker changed three times before finally deciding when Lou Chengyi raised the monthly price to a high price of five taels of silver a month.Unsatisfied with Liu Ahma, the partial student, he forced Lou Chengyi to pay him 20 taels a month for maintenance.

Lou Chengyi agreed, and Lou Chengyi was responsible for the daily expenses of daily necessities.As for the big house Tang Lianxiao and his mentally retarded son, the two brothers chose to ignore them.

Five years later, when Liu Ama passed away, the two brothers still buried him with honor, and sorted out more than 500 taels of silver from Liu Ama's belongings. Next handed over the money to Tang Lianxiao.The condition is to raise his son to adulthood, so that he can be married to him, and he will inherit the incense of the big house and pass on the blood of the parents of the building.

Tang Lian accepted the money with a smile, and did not dare to play tricks to take care of her son wholeheartedly. She only waited for her son to become an adult so that she could marry and have children.

As soon as Mr. Lou and Liu Ama went, the Lou family was divided in a serious manner.

In the same year, Zhou Cheng led his family of eight to move to Shangjing, accompanied by Lou Chengyi and his wife who were persuaded by Lou Yuzhu to live there for a while.Lou Ming and Wei Qi's family guard the house.

Lou Hua, who personally greeted Lou Chengyi at the gate of Shangjing, welcomed them home, while Liang Zhao waited at the gate to greet Lou Chengyi and his wife with red eyes.

Fu Linshu pulled him hastily, and patted his hand to show his size.

Lou Yuzhu leaned over and jokingly said, "Brother Zhao is more and more like an official husband."

Liang Zhao asked him: "Brother Yu is the father of six children, why is this mouth still so unforgiving?"

Lou Yuzhu raised her eyebrows at him.

The group entered the house, Lou Chengyi and his wife were invited to the first seat by Lou Hua, and Lou Hua led the family to greet the couple.Lou's patriarch, Sun Linyun, was married the year before last, and brought his husband, Ji Lan, and his eldest son, Lou Junyu, who was only eleven months old, to greet his grandpa.

Lou Chengyi and his wife's eyes lit up, and they hugged their little great-grandson in a hurry, and they fell in love with each other.The little Buding Lou Junyu was not afraid of strangers, and his round eyes looked straight at the two of them, and now the couple fell in love with each other even more.

Lou Yuzhu coughed lightly and winked, and Fu Linshu regained his composure and gave the greeting without hesitation.It was also the first time seeing Ji Lan, and as the eldest grandson, Fulang naturally couldn't treat him lightly. Lou Junyu was the eldest great-grandson and the fourth generation boss, so he couldn't be ignored.

Fu Linshu immediately recruited Ji Lan to pass over the set of jade ornaments, and said, "I don't have anything to give you, I don't mind."

Looking at the fineness of the jade ornament, Ji Lan knew it was worth a lot, secretly looked at Liang Zhao and saw him nodding before thanking and accepting the gift.

Lou Chengyi smiled and held Duan Yujun in his arms, and put a piece of mutton fat jade on the little guy's neck, saying: "May my great-grandson have a safe and happy life, and a happy and healthy life!"

Suet jade is precious, but wealthy families can always collect one or two pieces, so Lin Yun was shocked, so he accepted the gift on his behalf, but when he looked back, he saw the four pieces of "Imperial Imperial System" above. Li felt his scalp tingling.But after receiving all the gifts, he didn't return the gifts, so he could only bite the bullet and stare at the jade accessory on his son's neck, fearing that his ignorant son would bite it and it would be damaged.

It was also the first time Lou Yuzhu saw Ji Lan, so she gave a set of beaded gold ornaments, and Xiaodouding Lou Junyu gave a set of exquisite glass cups.

Ji Lan and Lin Yun were busy, and then it was his turn to give Zhou Yi the six brothers a meeting gift. The gift was not expensive but delicate, and it came according to the preferences of the six brothers. It can be seen that it took a lot of thought of.

After seeing the whole family and talking warmly to each other, Chen led the whole family into the door.Mu Shu gave Lou Chen two sons, one is four years old and the other is two years old, and now she is pregnant with another one, it has been three months, the whole family is looking forward to this brother, because the whole Lou family including married Lou Yuzhu only has two elder brothers.One is Lou Ming's first child, Lou Xue'er, who was married in January this year; the other is Liang Zhao's fourth son after he came to Beijing, Lou Yuanyuan, a six-year-old kid.

Once inside, Mu Shuyi complained to Fu Linshu: "Father, you have to take care of Lou Chen, he kept whispering in my ear that he is going to have a brother and a brother, my ears are getting callused!"

Fu Lin Shu laughed: "I can't control the fourth child, you have to find him Brother Yu."

Mu Shu squeezed Zhou Chengyi away from Shan Ruliu to Lou Yuzhu's side: "Brother Yu, you have to take care of it!"

Lou Yuzhu pretended to sigh: "Oh, I can't control the fourth brother now that his wings are stiff."

The absent-minded look made the whole family laugh out loud, and Mu Shu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The family had a reunion dinner, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu declined Lou Hua's kindness to stay overnight, and led the six boys back to the house that Zhou Cheng had built in Shangjing.Leaving aside a sentence of self-assignment, Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu went to the main house to rest.

The six brothers with faces of "I knew it earlier" looked at each other, and they held hands in twos and threes to find their own yard.In the end, the eldest brother Zhou Yi led the sixth child to live in the east courtyard, the second child Zhou Yu and the fifth child Zhou Rui lived in the west courtyard, the third and fourth unicorn twins lived in the middle courtyard, and the remaining courtyard was unoccupied.

The next day Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng got up early, and the six brothers lined up to greet them.

"To daddy, to daddy." The one who finished the tone was the calm and experienced boss, who was fourteen this year.

"Papa, please greet papa." The one with a gentle and elegant face is the second child, Zhou Yu, who is twelve years old this year.

"Greetings to daddy, hello to daddy~~" The two voices overlapped with wavy endings were the third and fourth twins, ten years old and two months apart.

"Papa, please greet papa." The one with a light and cold tone was Zhou Rui, the fifth child, who was seven and a half years old this year.

"Greetings to daddy, hello to daddy!" The one with a childish voice and a rather childish expression was the old Liu Zhouan, who was six years old this year.

Zhou Cheng nodded and asked him to sit down.

The obedient appearance of the six boys made Lou Yuzhu's teeth sore. Who knows about family affairs, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps!

The eldest is calm, but his ideas are honest; the second is gentle, but has the most ghostly ideas, and he has a smile on his face; the third and fourth are simple-minded, but if you think they have strong four feet and a simple mind, you will lose; the fifth is cold-hearted It's also cold, and I haven't seen many smiling faces all year round; the sixth child has a childish voice, and looks the most like Lou Yuzhu among the six brothers, but because of this, the other party doesn't know how much he has cheated from the five brothers above and Zhou Cheng. nice one!Not to mention Lou Chengyi and his wife, Lou Hua, Lou Ming and Lou Chen, he is the richest among the six brothers!Boss Zhouyi can't compare!

On the Ruoda long table polished in half by a huge mahogany tree, Zhou Cheng sat at the head, Lou Yuzhu sat on his right hand side, and then the six brothers sat on the left hand side in order.

The servant clearly delivered breakfast that suits everyone's taste, and Lou Yuzhu was heartbroken when she saw the six different breakfasts across the street.The eldest and the second require exquisiteness and health, and do not repeat the same sample for at least ten days; the third and fourth require delicious food and portion, and it is no problem to repeat the sample by one or two points every day; Problem: Lao Liu has no requirements, because if he is not satisfied, he will fill the table with plates and ask for a share.Just like today, I took a plate and ordered two crab roe steamed buns from his father, and then ordered a small bowl of green vegetable porridge from the eldest, and then spooned three bean paste glutinous rice balls from the fifth bowl. The cup took two sips of juice.The third and fourth children who were afraid that he would not have enough to eat planned to share some meat pancakes with him, but they were rejected.

At this time, Lou Yuzhu can't wait to stuff the six fucked sons back into the stomach and make it up!This is also the main reason why he gave birth to so many sons and insisted on having a brother!

Seeing that the black aura in Lou Yuzhu's eyes was about to explode again, Zhou Cheng hurriedly gave his second son Zhou Yu a wink.

Why is it that he is complaining in his heart? Zhou Yu showed a gentle smile and asked, "Daddy said that he is going to visit Second Uncle Pei today?"

Lou Yuzhu concentrated her mind: "Yes. So the old rules, the fifth child looks at the sixth child, the fourth child looks at the fifth child, the third child looks at the fourth child, the second child looks at the third child, and the eldest child looks at the second child."

People who don't know the reason may feel dizzy, but the simplification of the rules means that the big ones look down on the small ones, and so on.

Zhou Yi, who had been upgraded from being watched to watching, nodded: "Don't worry, Father, I will take good care of my younger brothers."

Lou Yuzhu rubbed her forehead: "I hope so." After saying that, he waved his hands and said angrily, "Go and change after eating, and we'll go out!" Seeing the six brothers get up and change their clothes hand in hand, I couldn't help it Lou Yuzhu glared at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng, who was always drawn into anger at this time, was already used to Lou Yuzhu's glaring eyes, so he changed the subject in a sly way: "It's been 14 years in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if Guanying still remembers us."

Lou Yuzhu told him angrily: "Will you know when we meet later?"

Zhou Cheng, who was choked, was not annoyed, and went inside to pick out clothes for Lou Yuzhu to go out.

Not long after, a family of eight gathered at the gate.The eldest and the second rode a horse, the third and the fourth also clamored to ride a horse, but Lou Yuzhu glared at him and immediately admitted that he was cowardly and obediently climbed into the carriage, Zhou Cheng carried the sixth into his arms, and the fifth climbed up by himself, and when Lou Yuzhu also got into the carriage After sitting still, Zhou Cheng got on his horse, followed by seven or eight servants and a carriage carrying gifts.

The steward of the Hou Mansion, who had received the news earlier, welcomed them in politely. Pei Sheng's husband-in-law was no stranger to Zhou Cheng, his son's personal servant. The rumors are really heard a lot.Sometimes it was from his husband-in-law Pei Sheng, sometimes from Pei Guanying, and sometimes from Guanshi Hu, all of them were boasting.Sometimes he wonders if there are such beautiful people in this world?But when I saw it today, I was really convinced.

"Mo Dao is boasting, I don't think he is really a fairy!"

All the family members of the Marquis Mansion boasted that it was true, and it was true that Lou Yuzhu was well maintained.After giving birth to six sons, his figure has not changed much, and his face in his early thirties has no trace of wrinkles, as if time has stopped on him.

Louzhu Zhu, who was not relieved of such praise, smiled, met with the elders and gave the gift of the junior, and gave the gift of the meeting.Among them, Pei Guanying's husband-in-law's face was stiff, Lou Yuzhu saw the etiquette and said hello, and he didn't care about the etiquette anymore.

Afterwards, the six brothers came forward to greet each other, and Zhou Yi acted as the eldest son, who acted like the eldest son in every gesture; the second brother was responsible for making people feel like spring breeze with a smile on his face; the third and fourth were responsible for making people laugh; the fifth was responsible for being cold Yutong; the sixth child is responsible for being good.The six brothers are all good-looking, and there is always one that can poke the cutest point among the six styles!

As a result, the brothers received six gifts softly!It's quite like taking back all the gifts that were given out today.

Not long after, Pei Sheng and Pei Guanying came back from court.

Lou Yuzhu stood up, took two steps to greet her, bent her knees and said, "I've seen Lord Hou, I've seen second brother." Next to him, Zhou Cheng led the six brothers to raise their hands and shouted.

The two raised their hands in gesture of excuse.Pei Sheng looked at Lou Yuzhu and laughed loudly, "Looking at me from afar, I don't know what kind of young people came here."

Pei Guanying turned her eyes around Lou Yuzhu's face, looked at Zhou Cheng, and joked, "Should I call you Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Cheng begged for mercy and said, "Don't make fun of me, Guanying."

Pei Guanying laughed loudly, hooked Zhou Cheng's neck and said, "Let's go, we brothers will not return today if we are not drunk!"

With this loud laugh, the strangeness caused by too long time disappeared immediately, leaving only a trace of nostalgia, a trace of melancholy and a trace of admiration for the youth that I haven't seen for a long time.

On the other side, the two brothers hooked up for a drink, while Pei Sheng chatted with Lou Yuzhu.

"The emperor knows about your father and the others going to Beijing. It is estimated that there will be an order in the next few days. He may order them to enter the palace." The Gongdelou family has a reputation but its foundation is still a little shallow, so Pei Sheng can compare Lou It is not surprising that Chen got the news one step earlier.

The former emperor died with a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and the new emperor has only been on the throne for four years. Not to mention Lou Yuzhu's inaccurate pulse, even many officials in Shangjing are also uncertain. "What do you need to prepare in advance?"

Pei Sheng knew about Lou Chengyi, and said with a smile: "There is no need to prepare anything, just let Lou Chen go with him when the time comes, as usual, just tell the truth."

Lou Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat.Pei Sheng was a confidant of the first emperor, and Pei Guanying was the accompanist of the new emperor or the crown prince. They can always get a pulse or two when others are not sure. The meaning of the words is that the new emperor is pragmatic?It's fine if it's a pragmatic one, but I'm afraid it's a playful one with one set of appearances and another set of backs. "Thank you, Lord Hou, for reminding me."

A flash of meaning flashed in Pei Sheng's eyes, and then he interrupted the topic to ask some homework.

Lou Yuzhu chose an interesting and playful answer, and it was the children's turn to have a headache and said: "The boss has already made a name for himself, and his brother-in-law has already made a good relationship and is ready to let him enter the Taixue Academy. The second child is going to take the exam next year, which means You have to study at home. The third and fourth asked his uncle to go to martial arts. The fifth and sixth are still young, and Mr. Mu said that he will get two places to enter the Mu family school."

Pei Sheng was startled, and then said with a smile: "It seems that I may not be able to help if I want to help."

Lou Chen is a closed disciple of Mr. Mu who has registered with the Son of Heaven. With him in his care, Zhou Yi and Zhou Yu don’t have to worry about being envied by showing their sharpness. Besides, the Lou family’s reputation of meritorious deeds is still there. The two brothers plan to save money The strength shines in the official career.What worries Lou Yuzhu is that the third and fourth children have no intention of doing business. The cold face of the fifth child is enough, and the sixth child is still young. Although it is a bit unfounded, he is really worried that none of the six sons is willing to inherit the business of the Zhou family. Imperial.

Facts have proved that Lou Yuzhu was not worried in vain.The next year, Zhou Yi, the eldest, won the first prize in the examination, breaking the myth that Lou Chen was the youngest.When the emperor heard about Xun Le's pen-hold shooting case, he immediately conferred the seventh-rank official position on Zhou Yi, and then bestowed Chang Le Bofu's brother-in-law as husband. Of course, it would take at least one year to prepare for the marriage.

Lou Yuzhu was happy that her son was awarded an official position, but when she heard that she was married, she was dumbfounded.Fortunately, the new emperor is still reliable. Although the chosen Changle uncle's mansion is a relative of the emperor, but his family is pure and upbringing, he is also a good brother who is knowledgeable, intelligent, good-looking and talented. Zhou Yi secretly went to see it once. Still satisfied, the marriage was scheduled for the second day of May of the following year.

The Changle uncle's mansion is of the same clan as the emperor's relatives and the emperor, and it is a marriage gift, so this marriage cannot be taken lightly.Fortunately, there is plenty of time to prepare for one year.
