Embracing the ancient times with roses

The next morning, Lixiu and his wife thought that the weather was good, so they discussed it and went straight into the mountain. All kinds of wild fruits on the mountain at this time were already ripe, and they were picked all over the place. Yes, there are also some that no one wants to want, such as those sour Shanlihong and those wild persimmons that grow on trees, because the persimmons are very astringent and no one wants to want them. Put it in a box and let his family call a donkey to carry it.

Then he and Da Zhuang continued to walk up the mountain. They still had to pick the ripe peppercorns. After a while, the season for picking would pass. For the convenience of picking, Lixiu spread a piece of oilcloth on the ground. Under the tree, and then began to shake the branches, and saw those dried peppers falling from the tree one after another, much faster than picking them by hand.

Da Zhuang looked there, and said in his mouth: "Look, brother Xiu is smart. He picked so much in such a short period of time, which saves a lot of trouble."

Li Xiu said with a smile: "There are also tricks in working. In the future, we will slowly find a way. I guess we will work faster and faster, and save you from being exhausted. I haven't done much work yet. By the way, Brother Zhuang, we dug it up." Will there be prey in those traps again?"

Da Zhuang said: "I can't say for sure. I'll go and have a look. If there is one, we'll take it back. It's okay if we don't. I'm just waiting."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Be careful, don't go too far, if a wolf or something comes out, I'm afraid."

Da Zhuang nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm carrying a bow and arrow. It's not far away. It's just ahead. I'll come back without me. Don't worry."

Li Xiu watched Da Zhuang disappear in front of him, and shouted uneasy, "Come back early, I'm afraid alone."

As soon as Da Zhuang heard this, he hurried back and came to Li Xiu and said, "No hurry, when we go down the mountain, we can just go over there. There are no big beasts here, and they don't come out. They are all in the mountain. Especially the wolves don't come out in broad daylight, unless there are some changes, they will run down the mountain, but I haven't seen wolves go down the mountain in these years."

Li Xiu is really relieved now, he knows that wolf is a beast, but no matter who you are, no matter who you see, you will never let go of any food, this is what he saw in it.

After the two of them picked the peppercorns, they were ready to go down the mountain, because after all, there was no game on the mountain at this time, but occasionally they could pick some mushrooms, fungus, etc. The chestnuts and hazelnuts that he was interested in in the past are still available at this time. Not yet ripe, he thought about picking some in two days, the leaves of the trees on the mountain had already turned yellow, and some had already fallen off. This autumn is very similar to the modern Northeast, with four distinct seasons.

The two talked and laughed all the way down the mountain, passing by the traps they dug, to see if there were any prey, and if there were any, they would catch them. Not to mention a few more rabbits and two pheasants, Li Xiule's mouth could close No more, now the family should have income again.

When Da Zhuang saw that Li Xiu was happy, he was happy. He saw edible wild fruits along the way, and tried his best to pick them back for Li Xiu. He knew that Li Xiu liked to eat these, otherwise why would he pick such astringent wild persimmons? When he came back, Shan Lihong, who was so sour, didn't let go. . . . . .

Lixiu didn't know what Da Zhuang was thinking, anyway, he was happy, humming a song that Da Zhuang couldn't understand along the way, it was a joy for Da Zhuang to follow behind, it would be better if he married his wife, and even sang Every ditty is so nice, he really cultivated it in his previous life, and he is satisfied in this life to meet such a daughter-in-law.

When I got back to the door of the house, I saw a carriage parked at the door. Li Xiu knew whose car it was without guessing. Teach him not to say a word.

Chu Junhao, who was sitting in the car, heard the guards say that Li Xiu and his wife had returned, so he dragged Liu Ziran, who was unwilling to get out of the car, out of the car. The guy even forced him to come, seeing how the couple love each other, how embarrassing it is for him!

Chu Junhao couldn't hold back his face at first, because that matter can't be delayed any longer, it has to be completed as soon as possible. When he saw the wooden hairpin made by Li Xiu yesterday, he had already made up his mind to hand over this matter to Li Xiu. The repair was done, but because of their unpleasant quarrel yesterday, he still lowered his figure and came here with a lot of gifts as an apology. After rushing out, he believed that Liu Ziran was here, and Li Xiu's violent temper could be restrained a bit.

Looking at these two guys, Li Xiu felt uncomfortable, why is he so lingering, what on earth was he trying to do, he didn't have time to play with them, so he calmed down a bit, thinking of a quick talk and a quick decision, Don't stretch like this, it's too uncomfortable, he is also afraid of long nights and dreams, he can't afford to offend such a big man.

After thinking about it, Lixiu opened the courtyard door and asked Da Zhuang to drive the car into the yard. He helped unload the things on the car, put the peppercorns on the oilcloth laid in advance to dry, and the wild fruits directly They were all put in the barn. As for the wild persimmons, he put them on the window sill to let them absorb the sunlight. He thought he could make persimmons when he had time.

Chu Junhao and Liu Ziran were just left aside by him like this, Liu Ziran was embarrassed for a while, and sighed in his heart, what do you call this? Chu Junhao provoked it, and he followed the "guotao" by himself. How will we meet in the future? ah!That's bad luck.

Seeing that Li Xiu ignored him, Chu Junhao said, "Why are you still angry?"

Li Xiu raised his head and stared at him. He didn't say anything. He was still fiddling with his pile of things. Da Zhuang, who had just returned from the backyard, heard Chu Junhao's words and hurriedly said, "Master Chu, shopkeeper Liu, come into the house." Sit down, don't be as knowledgeable as him, he just has this temper."

Li Xiu felt uncomfortable in his heart. His family Da Zhuang said it like he was stingy, but it's good to say that, let them treat him as an ordinary little brother, and it will save a lot of trouble, which is good. After thinking about it, he put down what he was doing, went into the house, and went directly into the kitchen. After getting a few glasses of water, he brought them out and put them next to the three people who had already sat down. Then he sat next to Da Zhuang. , looking at the two people opposite.

"Tell me, what do you want to do? Don't talk about it like this. You don't bother me. I don't have time to spend with you. I will marry Brother Da Zhuang on the [-]th of next month. , if you go on like this, it will waste your time, so let's just talk about it today." Li Xiu said in a helpless tone.

Chu Junhao has also calmed down now. Looking at the little brother opposite, he is also embarrassed now, but in view of his current situation, he can only nod his head as he agrees.

Compared with his consent, Liu Ziran's heart trembled. When he heard that Li Xiu and Na Da Zhuang were getting married, he felt very sour. He wanted to stop him, but what kind of face did he use to stop him? The feeling is beyond words, I can only listen silently, thinking that as long as he is happy, it will be fine.

Da Zhuang didn't see what the other two people were thinking. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, he said, "Come and drink some water. There is no tea at home. I'm sorry. When Lixiu and I get married next month, I'll invite the two of you to drink at home." Wedding wine."

Liu Ziran took a deep breath and said, "It's not safe, as long as there is water."

Chu Junhao really cut to the chase this time. He took out cloth bags one by one from his arms and put them on the table. He carefully opened them and pushed them in front of Li Xiu. Li Xiu saw that it was a jade pendant, but it was a pity. The piece of jade had been split into two halves, it looked like it had been dropped, and he could see clearly that it was a very finely crafted dragon pendant, and his heart tightened. It must be the descendant of the dragon, others dare not wear this thing even if they have 1 guts.

Seeing Li Xiu standing there in a daze, Chu Junhao asked, "Can I repair it?"

Li Xiu was thinking in his heart, should he fix it for him? Don't cause trouble for himself and Da Zhuang, then he will get himself involved. Don't fix it. If you look at this thing yourself, you will be fine. It's like getting on a thief's boat, what a mess, my heart is racing.

Chu Junhao knew that he was hesitating, and he was in no hurry at this time, so he thought, anyway, this is the case.You have to fix it even if you don’t stop.

From the corner of his eyes, Li Xiu saw the cruelty in his eyes, so he tightened his heart and said: "This jade is a good piece of jade, but it can be repaired, but I have a condition."

Seeing Li Xiu's exit, Chu Junhao felt relieved and said, "What's your condition?"

Li Xiu looked at Chu Junzhen at this time and said: "I can repair it for you as before. No one will find out that this jade has been dropped, but I said ugly things first. From then on, none of us will know each other. , I’ve never seen it before, even if I met it on the road, I don’t know it, can you agree?”

Chu Junhao knew that Li Xiu already knew the origin of this piece of jade, but he still nodded and said: "Okay, after the matter is completed, I will give you 5000 taels."

Li Xiu nodded, and put the piece of jade away, "You come to pick it up in three days." After finishing speaking, he stood up without waiting for Chu Junhao to answer, meaning to see off the guests.

Chu Junhao is very sensible and very happy in his heart, he can finally fix it, so that he can give his father an explanation. . . . . .

Compared to Chu Junhao's joyful mood, Liu Ziran is not calm anymore. What is this? Does it mean that he will have no worries about marrying Li Xiu in the future?So he boldly said: "Brother Xiu, we will be in the future?"

Li Xiu looked at him, "Shopkeeper Liu, we are still friends, if I pawn something to you in the future, you can't refuse it?" He laughed after speaking.

Liu Ziran nodded, smiled, and left with Chu Junhao after speaking, he didn't think about anything now, as long as Li Xiu and him 'know', it's fine if he's not a passer-by!

When the two of them left, Li Xiu looked at the hot potato in his hand, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. He had actually seen this thing before when he was very young, and one day his master brought it back from outside, and the master told him When it was an ancient object, it was used by the royal family, and ordinary people could not take it casually, especially this jade pendant was still a five-clawed golden dragon, so it was not something that ordinary people could wear. Now that thing is still in the secret room at home, looking at it now Seeing the exact same one, I was really happy in my heart. I'm afraid that Chu Junhao is not just a castle owner, is he?But fortunately, he has already promised him that he will not meet again in the future, that's fine, so that he can live a good life with Da Zhuang, and he can't control the outside affairs.

Da Zhuang looked at Li Xiu's reaction and said, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you?"

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "Brother Zhuang, don't tell anyone what happened today. When you see Chu Junhao in the future, you will never know him. He is not only a castle master, but there may be something we don't know about him." , we should be more careful."

Looking back, he said that Chu Junhao and Liu Ziran left together in the car, and Chu Junhao felt depressed for a while in the car, "I said Ziran, do you think that little brother knows what I am?"

Liu Ziran rolled his eyes at him, "You think too much, has he seen this thing before? He said that because he was angry with you, who made you talk like that at the beginning, and besides, he said he could repair it, so he just said that. You must have learned how to repair this thing, don't think too much, as long as the thing is repaired and handed over to your father, you will be fine."

Chu Junhao heard it, "That's right, anyway, that thing is not mine, so why bother?"

Liu Ziran nodded and didn't say anything else. Now he regretted it very much. He told Chu Junhao about the repair of carvings and things in the Lixiu Society. He was afraid that it would cause trouble for Lixiu and it would not end well in the future. Now he can only Try to protect Li Xiu as much as possible, although Li Xiu doesn't like him, but he will take care of Li Xiu as his own brother, if they can't be husband and wife, it's good to be a brother, thinking of this, he feels a lot more cheerful, There is also a smile on the face.

Seeing him like that, Chu Junhao said, "Why do you miss spring?"

Liu Ziran gave him a punch with a smile and said: "Go, I just want to think about it. Since I can't be a husband and wife with him, let's be friends. It's fine to see him well. I don't want to do that anymore. I will be good in the future." Live your life."

Chu Junhao patted him on the shoulder, "Just think about it, a family like ours would not allow us to marry someone with no background, hey!" He sighed and closed his eyes.
