Lu Qingyi walked quickly along the river, Shen Wenchang caught up and said as he walked, "Hey, don't ignore me, if you are really heavy, can I hold you and run faster than a rabbit?"

Lu Qingyi couldn't hold back when she heard the words, laughed, and had to stop, with her slender hands, she slapped Shen Wenchang's arm lightly: "I'm annoying you."

Seeing that his wife was happy, Shen Wenchang immediately felt relieved, leaned forward, and took Lu Qingyi's hand. Before he could express his heartfelt feelings, Lu Qingyi patted her hand.

Lu Qingyi withdrew her hand, looked around and said, "Outside, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't think about what to do. It's not too much for a serious couple to hold hands." Shen Wenchang explained, then remembered the bet, and smiled: "Hey, I remembered a serious thing. Just now you lost the bet. You can't deny the bet, I think..."

Lu Qingyi's heart was ringing with alarm bells, and she looked behind Shen Wenchang, her expression tightened and she said, "Ah, the lady boss is here."

"What?" Shen Wenchang was shocked, "Where? Where?"

"I just turned into an alley." Lu Qingyi said, and was shocked again, "Come out again, you jump to the roof."

"Ah?" Shen Wenchang was a little confused for a moment, after all, her first reaction was to run.

"Go up, go up." Lu Qingyi urged frequently.

Shen Wenchang didn't have time to think about it, his body reacted, he soared into the air, landed on the roof, stood and looked down: "Lady, where is the lady boss?"

"Quickly squat down and come this way." Lu Qingyi looked anxious, as if the proprietress was about to rush out in an instant.

Shen Wenchang didn't have time to look more, so he squatted down obediently.

"Sir, you hide first, I'll go look for Qing Zhe first." Lu Qingyi said, turned around, walked away quickly with a smile.

Seeing this, Shen Wenchang was anxious and hated, and wanted to follow Lu Qingyi, but was afraid of being seen by the proprietress.After squatting and waiting for a while, I felt that something was wrong. Why isn't her wife afraid of the proprietress?The proprietress has chased them for a few blocks, will she not see her wife?Don't let that woman Lu Qingyi play tricks on her, right?

Shen Wenchang couldn't calm down after thinking about it, so he stood up quickly and walked around the roof. There were people in twos and threes below, where is the boss lady?

"Well, Lu Qingyi, you're so annoying." Shen Wenchang laughed and cursed, jumped down, patted the robe on his body, and went to Lu's house.

On that side, Cheng Zhai, the old housekeeper was distributing money to many servants in front of him.

Aunt Cheng sat on the main seat and said: "Take this money, go out and find a job. You have seen this house, there are only three of us, there is really no need for so many people to wait on you."

Everyone took the money, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to say anything, they are all serving people, but the other party is the master of Juren, if you don't go, you have to go, it's useless to make a fuss, but fortunately they each share I paid two taels of silver, which is equivalent to a year's wages.

If there is one who takes the lead, there will be a second one.After the crowd dispersed, Steward Miao looked at the old man next to Ju Rengong, sighed, he came with the steward, shook his head, put the money in his arms, turned and left.

"This house is much more luxurious than before." Mrs. Cheng looked at the golden vases and cups in the hall, feeling very displeased, "Ah Yi, I will pawn all these things tomorrow. Send the money back to the prefect’s yamen, let them record it in the book, and save it for disaster relief in the future.”

"Yes, mother." Cheng Yi didn't like these extravagances either, they were very vulgar.

"Okay, I changed the locks on the storeroom and the door of the house. Let's go back separately today, pack up and pick an auspicious day, and we will move in together." Mrs. Cheng said, looking at the old servant: " If we can avenge our grievances today, if you don’t dislike our mother and son, you can come back and live together.”

The old housekeeper was troubled when he heard the words: "Mrs., the little old man and his wife have now opened a small tea shed, and the daughter-in-law is pregnant again. If our old couple come back, the daughter-in-law will not be able to take care of her alone."

"Move here together, the family will be more lively. Opening a teahouse is not good for pregnant women." Mrs. Cheng misses the past when she grows up. "In the future, when the baby grows up, you can invite your husband to come and teach you."

The old housekeeper looked at his wife when he heard the words, they have gotten used to it all these years, their son is willing to endure hardships, and their daughter-in-law is also filial, life is more difficult, but they are enjoying the family relationship.

"Madam has already spoken, let's come back."

Hearing what his wife said, the old housekeeper nodded and said, "Madam, we're back, we're back."

"It's good to come back. She, Uncle Cheng Shun, Aunt Zhao, and Grandma, are all back, let's live a good life together." Aunt Cheng said with tears in her eyes, and now the hardships are finally over.

"Hey, ma'am." Several people responded together.

"Mother, it's all over, don't cry." Liniang handed over the handkerchief, she could understand her mother-in-law's suffering, if it was her, after experiencing such a thing, her heart would have been turned upside down and become a ghost in the spring.

"Hey, don't cry, let's go, let's go home first, prepare things, and go to your father-in-law's grave." Aunt Cheng wiped her tears and stood up with Liniang's hand.

Cheng Shun and the others changed the locks, and left Cheng's house with Mrs. Cheng behind.

Over there, Shen Wenchang entered Lu's house through the back door, and hastily pushed open the door of Lu Qingyi's room when she was at her mother's house, only to see that there was no one inside, not even Xiaorou.

"Isn't this here?" Shen Wenchang turned around and muttered to himself, "If you can run away as a monk, you can also run away as a temple?"

Just as he was wondering, he heard footsteps and hurriedly hid behind the door.

Lu Qingyi entered the room with a vase of plum blossom branches that she had just obtained from her mother. Just as she put down the vase, she saw Shen Wenchang leaning against the wall, and smiled in false alarm: "Are you back?"

Seeing Lu Qingyi's calm demeanor, as if nothing had happened, Shen Wenchang felt so angry, walked to the back room and sat down, took out a carving knife from his boot, and then took out an uncarved wooden hairpin from his sleeve, and leaned against it. On the back of the chair, he put his legs on the edge of the table and started to carve leisurely.

Lu Qingyi looked into the back room while fiddling with the plum blossoms in the bottle. She also knew that she was sorry for Shen Wenchang for what happened in the afternoon, but she was really afraid of the bet.

Lu Qingyi pondered for a moment, handed the plum blossoms to Xiaorou, and walked into the inner room lightly.

Shen Wenchang glanced up and continued to carve the wood in his hand.

The moment Lu Qingyi entered the inner room, her bright eyes lit up, she walked quickly to Shen Wenchang, sat on the arm of the chair and smiled, "Sir, is this the wooden hairpin carved for me?"

"Huh, huh." Shen Wenchang blew on the sawdust, "No."

The smile on Lu Qingyi's face froze: "It's not for me?"

"Well, just now, when I was hiding on the roof, I met the girl in the embroidery building across the street, whoops, that girl... um, um..."

Lu Qingyi covered Shen Wenchang's mouth, really wishing she could sew it up with a needle.

Shen Wenchang opened his eyes and looked at Lu Qingyi, his mouth was tightly covered,

"You are too small-tempered. I'm just playing with you, and it's worth your nonsense?" After speaking, Lu Qingyi looked down at the wooden hairpin in Shen Wenchang's hand, pursed her lips, and smiled. Now, while letting go of Shen Wenchang's mouth, he lightly squeezed the wooden hairpin with his hand and pulled it out of Shen Wenchang's hand. Then he stood up and turned around. Shen Wenchang looked stunned.

"I really can't tell, you still have this skill." Lu Qingyi was overjoyed, and sat down in front of the Linghua mirror, wearing the left and the right.

"I'm used to wearing silver and jade, but the wooden hairpin looks pretty good." After looking in the mirror, Lu Qingyi took off the wooden hairpin and played with it in his hand.

"A certain person will come back if he is rare enough." Shen Wenchang tilted his head and looked at Lu Qingyi.

Hearing the words, Lu Qingyi looked back at Shen Wenchang, pondered for a moment, stood up holding the wooden hairpin, walked to the table, put down the wooden hairpin, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, walked behind Shen Wenchang, and passed the teacup forward with her right hand He reached Shen Wenchang's mouth, wrapped his left hand around Shen Wenchang's neck, and opened the tea cover.

"Sir, does this tea smell good?" Lu Qingyi asked with a smile.

Shen Wenchang said happily in his heart: "Well, it's okay."

"This tea has a scientific name, it's called Pleasant Tea, and it disappears after drinking it." Lu Qingyi said as he put the tea cup into Shen Wenchang's mouth.

Shen Wenchang took a sip, took his foot off the table, turned around, gently pulled Lu Qingyi into his arms, and said with a smile, "I really don't see it, you are quite good at bluffing people."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi picked up the wooden hairpin on the table, and tapped Shen Wenchang's nose lightly: "I really can't tell, your hands are so skillful."

"Do you like it? I'll repair it a little bit, and you can wear it."

"Why, don't you give it to the girl in the embroidery building?" Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

"Did your proprietress really appear at the entrance of the alley?" Shen Wenchang asked back.

Lu Qingyi smiled, of course not, the proprietress did not come after her, and there were no girls from the embroidery building either.

"For the sake of your generosity, please tell me what you want me to promise. As long as it is not embarrassing, I will consider accepting it as appropriate."

"Really?" Shen Wenchang's eyes lit up, "I want to make it easy for you to promise. I'll lay out the paper, and you can draw me a picture of a cockfighting scene, okay? By the way, the poem you sang is also titled Come on, teach me how to make poems later?"

Lu Qingyi was taken aback when she heard the words: "That's it?"

"Ang, what's the matter?" Shen Wenchang looked at Lu Qingyi suspiciously.

Lu Qingyi raised her hand and touched Shen Wenchang's head. This is still a child, she was thinking too much.

"It's okay, let's go." Lu Qingyi got off Shen Wenchang's lap, walked to the desk in the outer room, spread out a piece of paper and said, "It's easy for me to make a picture for you, and I can teach you if you want to learn to compose a poem. This poem says It’s difficult, it’s not difficult, it’s not difficult, but if you just think about it on a whim, you’ll never learn it.”

"Well, you just teach me, I will definitely study hard, and I won't let my brother-in-law laugh at me again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Wenchang and said, "What Qing Zhe said today was ill-considered. Let me accompany you on his behalf. You have a lot of adults who are brothers-in-law, so don't care about children."

"How can I argue with him, I want to open up even when you are composing poems, but I can't utter a word, and I can't play with you." Shen Wenchang said while grinding ink for Lu Qingyi.

Lu Qingyi laughed when she heard the words: "We will be able to play together in the future. Grandpa also said that you were delayed in childhood, and your ability to comprehend is quite strong. Maybe you will be ten times better than me in the future after learning from now on." .”

"Hahahaha, if I learn now, can I become a great writer in the future? Hahahaha" Shen Wenchang laughed loudly, and the great writer is just thinking about it.
