Embracing the ancient times with roses

Lixiu and his wife left the jewelry store and walked slowly forward. Both of them were very happy. In such a short period of time, the family has made money again. It's such a good day. The couple chatted while walking, After buying all the things that were missing at home, the two finally went to the cloth store and bought some fine cotton cloth and cotton, and Da Zhuang bought Li Xiu a fine white mink cloak without feeling sorry for him at all. , it cost more than ten taels at once.

Lixiu loves money very much, the money saved by the family can't just be spent like this, Da Zhuang smiled and said, "No, Lixiu, you followed me, it's just like this in this life, nothing can make you It’s as simple as paying homage to me, this cloak, even if I don’t eat or drink, I have to buy it for you, I can’t wrong you.”

After Li Xiu heard this, he was very moved, so he didn't say anything more. His family's idiot, sometimes he's kind of like that, and he was very happy.

Da Zhuang saw that Li Xiu was not here and postponed, so he asked the boss to wrap it up. In addition, he asked the boss to bring over the best wedding clothes in the store and try them on for Li Xiu. When Li Xiu finished wearing them, Da Zhuang was stunned. Yes, he always knew that Li Xiu was good-looking, but he didn't expect that Li Xiu would be so beautiful in a wedding dress, he was like a fairy descending to earth.

Lixiu stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and was also very satisfied. Seeing how handsome he is, he was about to pose when he finished speaking, but suddenly realized that this is not a modern place, so he took his hand back, and Pretentiously said: "Well, this one looks more pleasing to the eye, so that's it."

Da Zhuang nodded, and was about to pay, but was blocked by Lixiu. Lixiu went back to the fitting room, changed the dress, and walked out with it. The shopkeeper who had been waiting outside said: " What, are you not satisfied?"

There was no expression on Li Xiu's face, "The style of the clothes is okay, but the material is so-so. I wear them for getting married. It's too shabby."

One day the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Little brother, what do you mean?"

"I bought it with a [-]% discount, and I still have some wool, you can help me dye them, can you do it well?" Li Xiu asked.

When the shopkeeper heard it, "Okay, little brother, I will do as you said. You two bought so many things from me today, which shows that you have vision. I will make friends with you. Your wool, I will also dye it for you, so that the color will not fade."

"Okay, shopkeeper, you are so forthright this time, I believe we still have a chance to cooperate, next time I will bring you some sketches of clothes, I wonder if you will accept them here?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of a new idea .

"As long as the style is novel, it's easy to say." The shopkeeper is a fine person. He has seen everything in the business for so many years, let alone accepting a few sketches of new clothes.

Lixiu nodded, took the wool, picked a few colors he liked, and handed it over to the boy, who asked him to take it to the backyard to dye, then handed over the money to the shopkeeper, and then handed over his own things , all installed, and the shopkeeper explained the time to pick up the wool, and left.

The shopkeeper is very happy in his heart, he has made another fortune today, if there are a few such gods of wealth who come every day, he will give it away.

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang didn't care what the boss thought, after shopping, they went to Wang Zhang to pick up the car, walked back, passed by the blacksmith's shop, Li Xiu got off the car, entered the blacksmith's shop, and painted the car in advance. A good picture of the gate was given to Liu, the blacksmith, and asked him to help make it. When it was finished, they would come and pick it up.

When blacksmith Liu saw that it wasn't too difficult, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let you guys know when I'm done."

Da Zhuang nodded and said: "Hold on tight, a wild animal entered the house yesterday and broke the gate, and the wooden one is not good at all, just waiting to be used."

Blacksmith Liu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll make it for you now. It's not too complicated anyway, it's just made of iron. It's okay. Go back and wait for news." "

Da Zhuang nodded, let Lixiu get into the car, then tidied up his things, and drove the donkey cart to the house. He was also thinking about the living things at home. Although he repaired the door of the house early in the morning, he Thinking about the deer yesterday, it broke the door with just one blow. It seems that this door is also a good one.

Along the way, the two of them were walking and talking, and they arrived home in a short while, but there was a carriage parked at the gate, what happened?They have guests at home.

When he reached the gate, Da Zhuang opened the gate and drove the donkey cart into the yard. At this time, a person got off the carriage and followed them into the yard. Li Xiu looked back, "I'm going, why is he here?" '

The person who came was none other than Chu Junhao. Lixiu knew he was back, but he didn't expect to come back so soon. He was there in his heart, no matter how doubtful he was, but he didn't show it, "Mr. Chu, why did you come to our house? What's up?"

Da Zhuang unloaded all the things from the car, and Li Xiu helped move them into the house. Chu Junhao saw those things, they were all for the winter, but the red thing on the surface of the package couldn't be?Are they going to worship?Inexplicably, there was something strange in his heart. He couldn't tell what it was like, but it was not very good. He calmed down his mood, and finally took this feeling as feeling sorry for Liu Ziran.

Da Zhuang let Chu Junhao into the house, Li Xiu didn't tidy things up immediately, but went to the kitchen to boil some boiling water, put it in a cup, and brought it out, Da Zhuang was talking to Chu Junhao at this time, Li Xiu would Put the water in front of the two of them and said: "Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry, there is no tea at home, so just drink some water."

Chu Junhao nodded and said, "You're welcome, this is fine."

Li Xiu nodded, looked outside and it was already noon, and said, "How long has Mr. Chu been here?"

Chu Junhao said, "One hour."

Seeing that it was getting late, Da Zhuang said, "The main reason for Chubao is not to dislike it, so let's have a light meal at my house. The food cooked by my brother Xiu is still delicious."

Chu Junhao heard it, "Then bother."

In his heart, Li Xiu gave Chu Junhao a middle finger and gave him a two-word evaluation, pretending to be b.

Da Zhuang didn't know Li Xiu's thoughts, so he just talked with Chu Junhao there, and Li Xiu didn't do anything too good. To save trouble, he chopped stuffing and made dumplings in the kitchen.

Chu Junhao was having a chat with Da Zhuang, and when he was chatting with each other, he heard the sound of tinkling in the kitchen, Da Zhuang took a look and said, "It's okay, Brother Xiu is making dumplings there, Chu Castle Master, you are right to come today, Brother Xiu's craftsmanship is so good."

When Chu Junhao heard it, "Dumplings?" He really hadn't heard of them when he was so old, but he still nodded calmly and didn't say anything.

Lixiu's hands were quick, and he made the stuffing in a short while, then picked up the noodles that had been reconciled beforehand, and asked Da Zhuang to come in to help make the dumplings, and Da Zhuang immediately said, "Chu Bao mainly does not care about you." Come in and take a look?"

Chu Junhao has never been in the kitchen since he was so old. Suddenly someone said that today, he also wanted to see the kitchen in Lixiu's house. After all, the house was really clean. There is no dust at all, even the green brick floor of the house has been swept clean, not even a firewood stick, he nodded to Li Xiu in his heart, he is a person who can live a life and manage a house.

Chu Junhao stood up and went into the kitchen. Although the kitchen was very wide, it was not as big as the kitchen in their fort, but it was really clean. There was not even a little oil stain on the bottles and cans, and they were placed there in an orderly manner.

Seeing that he and Da Zhuang came in together, Li Xiu didn't say anything, and started rolling out the dumplings. Da Zhuang came over to help make dumplings. Now that he has learned how to make dumplings, Chu Junhao also came over curiously, before he stretched out his hand. , was stopped by Lixiu, "Mr. Chu, let's start the fire, this is a bit difficult for you, let's make it next time." He didn't want Chu Junhao to waste their family's food.

Chu Junhao opened his mouth and closed it, and sat honestly by the stove to help light the fire. While adding firewood to the stove, he peeked at Lixiu, and saw that he had already taken off his veil, and his beautiful face showed In front of him, I felt uncomfortable there. Such a good brother, why did he marry this farmer? It's a pity, no wonder Liu Ziran never forgets him. Such a person usually finds a rich family Married, I don't know what he thinks!

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang made the dumplings very quickly. After a while, the dumplings were wrapped. The two bamboo curtains were full, and the water was boiled. Li Xiu put the dumplings in the pot and boiled them there. Da Zhuang squatted aside. Grilled garlic, pounded garlic paste.

The first time Chu Junhao saw them making this, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Is this edible?"

Li Xiu closed his eyes and really wanted to scold him, but he held back and didn't say anything. Da Zhuang smiled and said, "You can eat it. My brother Xiu said that they all eat this in their hometown. At the beginning , I said the same thing, and he gave me a blank stare."

For this reason, Chu Junhao looked at Li Xiu a few more times, and became more interested in him, "Where is Brother Xiu's hometown?"

Lixiu said: "I am an orphan. I have lived in the mountains with my master since I was a child. At that time, my family was poor and there was nothing to eat. I searched for food in the mountains with my master. As long as it was edible, I would bring it home. So I ate a lot. Everyone knows, if it weren't for my master, who passed away at an old age, I might not have gone down the mountain and came to get married. I also obeyed my master's wishes and wanted to give him an explanation. Fortunately, I met Brother Da Zhuang. This is also our fate, this is fate, it is destined."

Chu Junhao nodded, thinking that regardless of whether what Li Xiu said was true or not, he had investigated and found that Li Xiu had indeed come down the mountain, and the first person he met was Da Zhuang. It seems that this brother suffered a lot when he was young Ah, "Then who did you learn that craft from?"

Li Xiu didn't even think about it, "It's passed down from my ancestors. Before I was 12 years old, I learned the craft of carving with my grandfather at home. After my grandfather passed away, I followed my master. But when I was young, because I was hiding from people, I ran to the mountains alone to hide, and I hid for more than ten years, and finally I didn’t go down the mountain until my death, hey.”

Da Zhuang interrupted suddenly, "Is he hiding from his lover?"

When Li Xiu heard it, he didn't expect that his Da Zhuang was quite clever, now all the omissions in his words are gone, right? "You are really right. He is hiding from the master. I heard that the master was sorry for him. When he was out on business, the master married another concubine at home, and he entered the house without his consent. Why? As soon as this master got angry, he immediately divorced him, and he didn't want to have any contact with him, no matter how much he came to apologize, he finally took me to hide in the mountain, and he didn't go down the mountain until he died." After speaking, Li Xiu said to him in his heart The master said, master, don't blame me, I just want to downplay the reason why I came here, so as to save the suspicion of Chu.

After hearing this, Da Zhuang said, "Hey, your master is also a pitiful person. Don't worry, I won't treat you that way."

Li Xiu glared at Da Zhuang and said, "You dare, be careful and I'll take care of you."

Chu Junhao had nothing to say about Li Xiu and his wife, but he suddenly said: "Why did your master divorce your master?"

Lixiu rolled his eyes in his heart and said: "I heard from my master that our elder brothers are all in charge of the family. As for the concubine my master married, he said that he came from another place to escape from famine. Hooked up with my master, anyway, I don't know."

While talking, the dumplings were ready. Lixiu put the dumplings on the plate while asking Da Zhuang to serve them on the table. When they were all served on the table, Lixiu cut another plate of spicy cabbage and served them together.

Chu Junhao ate dumplings for the first time, and they were delicious. He carefully bit open the dumpling skin, and a smell of meat wafted out. He carefully dipped a little garlic sauce and found that it was even more delicious, so he couldn't help it Glancing at Li Xiu, he didn't expect that this person really went to the hall and went to the kitchen, and he found a problem, the taste in the dumplings was something he had never tasted before, it was so delicious, Thinking that it was the first time Chu Junhao had eaten such a delicacy after traveling all over the world for so many years, and his mood improved unknowingly.

Da Zhuang and Li Xiu exchanged glances, and then began to eat.
