Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

The midwife shrank when she saw that the baby was a brother.Many people don't like elder brothers, thinking that elder brothers are not as beautiful as women, and their childbearing is not as smooth as women.No matter how good-looking he is, he still has a man's figure, and his hands are neither soft nor soft.But when she thought about it again, the head of the family seemed to be a brother. The young man was tall, beautiful, and well-spoken. He seemed to have a high status in the family...

When she thought of this, she boasted repeatedly: "Congratulations to this sister-in-law, she is a brother, look at how good-looking he is, and he will definitely be as beautiful and capable as his brother in the future!"

Zhou was happy when she heard it, looked at her newborn baby exhausted, and tried hard to say a word she had practiced for a long time, "Reward."

Aunt Zhang, who was waiting by the side, immediately took out the purse prepared by Lu Qianshan and stuffed it into the midwife.Each of the two midwives has a doctor, and there is also a doctor, and each of them has two taels of silver in their purses.This made the midwife very happy, and the good words of no money poured out like water.

After seeing the baby, Mrs. Zhou finally couldn't hold back and fell asleep.The others busily cleaned up the delivery room, carried the baby to Lu Guangming and Lu Qianshan had seen it before, and then the nanny took it to nurse him.

Lu Qianshan drew a meditation talisman for Zhou Shi, so that she could sleep comfortably. The past two days have really exhausted Zhou Shi, and my little brother has exhausted her physical strength.

Lu Guangming rubbed his hands happily, thinking of bringing the news to the two children and neighbors in the village.Lu Qianshan simply asked him to go back with his inkstone and play the piano. Even if he came back, the family didn't have to worry too much.

The Lu family didn't have many friends in the county, but Lu Guangming still asked someone to send a letter to Lu Guang.Although Lu Guangfa didn't care about them, his daughter-in-law was still good, so he would let them know so as not to be said to be defiant.As for Lu Qianting, forget it, he has a little disdain for that child.

Xiao Wang received the letter, and brought the child to the door for the first time with a basket of eggs.She is pregnant again, but the month is too young to tell.When she entered the door, seeing such a beautiful house, she was heartbroken.

She didn't expect that only one year had passed, and the family that had escaped Lu Zhang's control would be able to accumulate so much wealth and live an enviable life.Now they can be regarded as out of Lu Zhang's control, but they don't know if they will have such good luck.

Lu Qianshan took the egg and took her to see the Zhou family, and then the baby.Before the baby was named, everyone yelled for the baby.The little brother was not afraid of people, he tossed about on the kang with his little arms and legs when he was full, and fell asleep after a while.

Xiao Wang looked at the child and praised and praised.When she was waiting to go out, she said embarrassedly: "My mother-in-law was here before, so I didn't want to be too obvious about what I said or did. Now we are relatives in this city anyway. If there is anything to do in the future, we can still walk around."

Lu Qianshan's impression of Xiao Wang's is not bad, this woman is very smart, she is not like Xiao Zhang's because she doesn't work, because she is proud of her relationship with men and looks down on others, and she doesn't show her beauty in her work, she is always very quiet .She always followed behind her husband silently, but helped him calm the relationship between relatives.Even if she doesn't wait to see Wang Shi anymore, she will help Wang Shi take care of that little girl, Hua'er.

It's just that now Lu Guanghui is detained in the village, and Xiao Wang follows Lu Guangfa to live in the small yard bought by the old man. Wang is also a lazy person, and the house is getting worse and worse. The flowers are no longer as clean as they used to be. Dirty, like a skinny rat.

Lu Qianshan also knew that it was better to get rid of enemies than to end them. Xiao Wang had no bad intentions, and their family would often live in the county town in the future, so it would be nice to have one more neighbor.At least Mrs. Wang can come and chat with her when she is bored.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Actually, I don't have any complaints against my aunt, but I was really depressed and aggrieved at the time. Now that my aunt has been separated, life will be more comfortable than my own. In the future, my aunt can also often Come and walk around, my mother should welcome aunt very much."

Xiao Wang's face turned red with excitement, she nodded, and said with a smile: "Of course we want to visit often, then I will thank Shanshan." After Xiao Wang finished speaking, she took the child with her basket and walked away It can be seen that it is easier than when it came.

After all, Lu Guangming is now a Yuanwailang named by the emperor. Compared with Lu Guangfa, who only has the title of scholar, he does not know how many levels above him.Now that Lu Qianshan is willing to let them move around, it can be seen that what he did before was not in vain, and the Lu family still repays their kindness.As long as he can walk around with Lu Guangming's family, then others will at least look up to his man, and it will be smoother whether he is studying or seeking an official in the future.

A few days after Zhou's baby was born, Zeng Hongmei also started.Although it was the first child, the birth was smoother than Zhou's, and she was a little girl.

The midwife still praised her vigorously. Originally, Zeng Hongmei was a little depressed, but her heart was full of joy when she was praised.Even the Zhou family asked Aunt Zhang to bring a message, saying that the girl is good, the girl loves her parents, and she will bloom first and then bear fruit, so Zeng Hongmei should not worry.Zeng Hongmei was happy, and gave money to the midwife, the more she looked at the daughter she gave birth to, the happier she was.

It was the first time for Lu Qianfan to be a father, so he was so excited that he spent all day hanging around the little girl.Even he who doesn't like to talk became chattering, he kept talking about my old girl, my old girl is so pretty, my old girl is like a mother, Zeng Hongmei couldn't do it.

The family finally settled two important matters, and Lu Guangming sent out gifts to Zhou's family and Zeng's family.

Zhou's natal family quickly returned the gift, but no one came, which made Zhou feel a little disappointed.The Zeng family not only came to present gifts but also people, the first time they entered this big courtyard, those in-laws who were hunters and peddlers were a little bit restrained.They looked at the plump Zeng Hongmei they raised, left a lot of skins and bacon and fresh meat, and lived here for another day before leaving.

Seeing the leather, Zeng Hongmei was very happy, and after searching through it, she divided it up, making vests, vests, cloaks and cushions, and even the leftover scraps could be used to sew a pair of boots for each of the servants.Although she gave birth to a daughter, she still manages the house in her husband's house and is watched by Gao, and now there are servants to take care of her. This makes Zeng Hongmei laugh from ear to ear in front of her family, let alone the Zeng family who have been worried about her. , Knowing that she is doing well, I feel more at ease.

When the two children are all except for the full moon, it will be the Chinese New Year. The Zhou family does not want to celebrate the New Year in the county, but wants to go back.There are many people I know in the village, and the Chinese New Year is also lively, with children everywhere.But the neighbors who came here were not familiar with her. She didn't go out much because of her big belly, and she didn't know many friends. She was really lonely.

Lu Qianshan thought about it, and decided that it would be better to go home for the New Year, and not come back until the fifteenth day after the New Year.And now even if you live in the county, you have to go back and forth from time to time to prepare seasonings, which is too troublesome in winter.He planned to turn around and hand over the preparation of seasonings to Pingyan, Fuqin, Baishao and Myrrho and the others. After all, they were bought servants, so there would be no troubles.And there is still the god in the capital town, for those who have ideas, Xiao Xiao will not dare to make mistakes.

When I came here, it was only a green mule cart, but when I went back, I hired two more carriages.In addition to the large group of them, they bought a lot of new year's goods in the city and went back. The clothing materials alone piled up half a car. These were bought by Zhou's plan to make new clothes for his family.And they also have a Zhuangzi, and the people in the Zhuangzi also wear new clothes.It is enough to send a few pieces of fabric if you don't have time to do it.

The three cars entered the village and shocked many people.They also knew that Lu Guangming's family bought a house and bought people in the county, and they lived a very happy life, but they didn't expect it to be so happy.Look at Mrs. Zhou who was helped down from the car, wearing a big woolen dress, with a round, white and rosy face, where is the scorched yellow and sad look before?

There are also the two little girls who are with her, they are the tallest Shui Ling, they are just servants, but they are more beautiful than the good girls in the village.

This person is an official when he becomes an official, and he is different from ordinary people...

Back in the village, Lu Guangming immediately filled up the full moon wine for the two children, and now a lot of people came, and the banquets were placed on the kangs of all the houses, and the kangs were also very hot. Comfortable.

Still did not invite Lu Datian's family.

Lu Datian was smoking on the kang with a gloomy face, and Lu Zhangshi was sitting on the other side, fiddling with a few pieces of cloth in his hands, probably to make shoe uppers.Lu Xiuxiu was holding a hairpin to play with. The silver hairpin had turned black due to oxidation. She was trying to polish the hairpin.

"Father..." Lu Guanghui approached him and said, "Even if you don't invite me, you still have to go. After all, Guangming is now an official, so let's make friends."

Lu Datian gave him a gloomy look, and said, "I've never seen you go out to make friends before."

Lu Guanghui chuckled and said, "The past was the past, and the present is the present. If you can't write two Lu characters in one stroke, even if you write the fifth suit, you are still a distant relative. It really can't be justified if he doesn't invite you."

Lu Datian snorted coldly, and said: "There is nothing unreasonable, you and your wife should calm down, it's not that you haven't eaten something good, as for the greedy meal?"

Lu Guang knew that he could not be greedy?Now the money is in Lu Zhang's hands, and he can't go to the city anymore, and he doesn't even have time to cheat.After all, the farm was slack, and Lu Datian refused to let him go to the city to find a job, and he said it was not bad for the money.Is it not bad money?Are you afraid that he won't come back?

His complexion is not very good-looking either. Anyone who is used to living a good life will never want to live a poor life.How has this year been at home?There are fewer people, but the food is worse than before.The last time he passed by Lao San's house, he could smell meat.Originally, I wanted to go in and have a bite to eat, but unfortunately the two boys from the third family's family were not good people, so they were stunned by him, and they couldn't even get in the door.

The two children are now learning to read from the two youngest sons of Lu Guanghui's family, and they are much smarter, and they seem to have grown up.

This time, Lu Guanghui specially invited the second and third families to the table, but he didn't come to invite them. He invited his son but not his father. How ugly is this?

Lu Guangfu, Lu Guangcai and the others all went with their families, but they were not there specifically for seating, but to help.The whole family, big and small, was helping in the back kitchen. Lu Jinlin and her five-year-old brother helped Zhou and Zeng Hongmei take care of the children. She was already a serious girl.

The girl next to Zeng Hongmei, Banxia, ​​chatted quite well with her, and even gave her a few fancy dresses.This made Lu Jinlin very happy. Although Ban Xia was a servant of the Lu family, the Lu family did not really order them around. Ban Xia also took good care of Lu Jinlin and did not make her feel left out.

After all, everyone is very busy.

This time, the full moon wine killed a pig, and Zhou caught four piglets, all of which were well-raised, and they were all round.Lu Guangming picked the biggest and fattest one and killed it, and made it into the banquet without any leftovers. The guests who ate the food were full of greasy mouths, and they were all overjoyed.These people praised Lu Guangming for his ability to do things and be a man when they went out to meet people, and it was heard by Lu Zhangshi that she was so angry that she threw her sewing basket, "It's not embarrassing to give birth to two losers and eat banquets!"

Lu Xiuxiu swallowed greedily, she will be a 16-year-old girl after the new year, and there are many people who come to her door to propose marriage, but Mrs. Lu and Zhang look down on none of them.Lu Zhang's whole heart was thinking of marrying her to a rich family in the county, how could he fall in love with those poor scholars and small landlords who came to propose marriage?

Her daughter is going to be a young mistress!

On the one hand, Lu Xiuxiu thought that the little landlord was also good, and could eat meat every day, but on the other hand, she thought that the young mistress was better, as she could have a lot of jewelry and servants.She has never met the servants of the Lu family, but she also has girlfriends. When chatting with other girls, she heard about it, and she was very envious.

Lu Xiuxiu's heart fluttered when she thought that she would be served by people going in and out in the future, and that she would not be able to enjoy silk and satin endlessly.

She didn't want to listen to Mrs. Lu and Zhang's nagging, so she got off the kang and said she was going to play with friends.

Mrs. Lu Zhang didn't hold her back and let her go.

Lu Datian didn't go out very much in the past few days, and the turmoil of Lu Guangming's treats hadn't passed yet. He didn't want to hear people say how good the banquet at Lu Guangming's house was every time he went out. There was a lot of meat and eggs, and everyone could eat enough. If you are full and have a good relationship, you can bring back a large portion of meaty leftovers.The second child and the third family each took a large bowl of stewed meat back home, and slowly ate the meaty dishes for several days.

He wondered if he would kill one of his pigs in a few days.

Mrs. Lu and Zhang caught three piglets this year, but there were not enough people to hunt pigweeds this year. After all, two piglets were separated.The old couple's daughters don't know how to do fart work, and the two of them dawdled every day to beat a basket of pigweed, so Lu Datian had to do it himself, and his back hurt from exhaustion.Although the children of the second and third families would bring pigweed to them when they were not busy, but from Lu Datian's point of view, these two children came to watch the fun, and they didn't really want to send pigweed.

They wanted to see how sad the yard they were separated from was!

A bunch of wolf-hearted little cubs!

Lu Datian smoked non-stop. The dry tobacco was grown by himself. This year, he grew a lot of tobacco. Apart from smoking himself, he can sell some of it. At least it is worth money.How long has he stopped worrying about money?Why do you suddenly start thinking about making money and saving money now?

And Lu Qianting said about being an official, and he didn't know when it would be settled.When he becomes an official, the family should be a lot more relaxed, and maybe he can buy a cow at that time, or buy some more land, even if he can't grow tenants himself.

Thinking of farming, he began to think of his family boss. Lu Guangzeng had never won such a large land. The two and a half acres of land he and his wife had planted was a shame. Over the past year, they had harvested a total of more than 200 catties of grain. , Not enough for one person to eat for a year.Because of this, Lu Guanghui talked more than once during meals.He had to find another job for the boss. After all, the boss had studied, so it would be too wasteful to really farm the land.

But if you want to find an errand, you have to go to the town or the county seat. What kind of errands can you have in the village?But the boss is released, can the fourth child stay at home safely?

"One by one, don't worry..." Lu Datian exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes were full of gloom.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and no matter how unwilling Lu Qianting and Lu Guangfa who live in the county are, they still have to come back for the Chinese New Year.Now that the Lu family has moved out of two families, living in the yard is much more relaxed. At least Lu Qianting and his wife can have a separate yard.

Lu Xiuxiu had been looking forward to the return of her fifth brother and eldest nephew, and recently she was always playing with their girl at the village entrance.The girl took out a new embroidery pattern and said it was given by the girl of Zeng Hongmei's family. At first glance, the pattern is not the earthy pattern here, and it looks very beautiful.

Lu Xiuxiu didn't want to hear about Lu Guangming's family, but she was eager to hear how their family was living now.These little sisters can't stop talking about it, and they can't wait to talk for three days and three nights.

At this time, Lu Guangfa and the others came back in a carriage.

Lu Xiuxiu stopped chatting and ran out directly.As long as Fifth Brother and Eldest Nephew come back, they will definitely bring a lot of gifts, all kinds of rulers, food and drink, and jewelry for her. This is the day she looks forward to the most.

However, there were several horses and several carriages behind the Lu family's carriage. The horses were extremely tall. On the front big white horse sat a man with a handsome appearance. Xiuxiu even smiled and nodded.

Lu Xiuxiu had never seen such a man before, her heart was moved immediately.She got into Fifth Brother and their carriage, her voice trembling, "Fifth Brother, what are those people behind you here for?"

Hearing her question, Lu Qianting's expression turned a little ugly, "I'm here to give you a gift."

Lu Xiuxiu hurriedly asked, "For our family?"

Lu Qianting snorted coldly, "How is it possible, it's for the family in the east of the village." When he said this, he was a little angry and unconvinced, and turned his head to Lu Guangfa: "Uncle Wu, I guess that young master is rushing to land. He's from Qianshan. Don't underestimate that brother, he's very skilled. If it wasn't for him, his family would have developed so quickly? After he was divorced, he wouldn't stop. No wonder his family didn't rush to marry him off. "

Lu Guangfa raised his eyelids, but just blew out the word "um" from his nostrils.

Xiao Wang said with a smile instead: "I live my life, so what shall we talk about?"

Lu Qianting was a little unhappy, he looked down on Xiao Wang, and felt that Xiao Wang had gotten too close to that Lu family some time ago.On the contrary, on his own side, his father-in-law sent a greeting card once, and it was only when he met Lu Guangming's new little brother.He also went there at that time, but unfortunately he didn't talk to Lu Guangming's family, but his aunt was able to chat with Lu Qianfan's wife for a long time, even sitting together for dinner.

Things between women, hum!

Lu Xiuxiu couldn't understand the envy in his eldest nephew's eyes, she always thought about that man in her heart.Yu looked at her for a few times, and understood something in her heart, she just lowered her head and smiled.When they arrived at their home in the west of the village, Mrs. Yu got out of the car and said a few words to the groom.

After hearing this, the groom left, turned back after a while, replied a few words with Yu Shi, and then went back to the county with the carriage.

Lu Xiuxiu was a little out of her mind, even with the chitou jewelry given by Yu Shi and Xiao Wang Shi, her heart drifted away.She even hoped that she was a child of Lu Guangming's family, or someone close to his family, so that she could go to Lu Guangming's house to take a closer look at the young master.

It's really pretty, only such a son can be worthy of himself.

After dinner, a few women were chatting in the Westinghouse. Mrs. Zhang complained that she had suffered a great crime this year, with several blisters on her feet and rough hands.After listening for a while, Yu said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, you and your father suffer, and my husband and I feel very distressed when we see it. But now the husband doesn't have any good ideas. My father has been helping the husband to plan for a while. The errands are really exhausting.”

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly boasted her daughter-in-law a flower, and said: "Actually, it's nothing for me to suffer. I just feel sorry for your two younger sisters. How could I have done such rough work when I was raised so tenderly? You see Look, it's only been a year, what's it like to be tossed by a girl like a flower?"

Yu Shi also put on a distressed look, and said: "It's not that I don't want to find a husband's family for my sister, it's just that in the county town, our girl can't be a concubine for others, right?"

Little Zhang nodded quickly.

Lu Xiuxiu suddenly said: "If it's a man like that, I'd be very happy even as a concubine."

Xiao Zhang was stunned, "What?"

Lu Xiuxiu blushed and tugged at the handkerchief in her hand, said: "I saw a young master on the road, he is really good-looking, and he looks rich in clothes. If such a young master is considered a concubine, what's the point?"

Xiao Zhang was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.In her heart, her daughters are all the best, and it's okay to be a young mistress for others, so how can you say that they are concubines for others?

Mrs. Yu wiped her lips with her hand, wiped the smile from the corner of her mouth, and said, "I do know that young master, his family doesn't belong to us, it's a little far away from us... the county magistrate my father planned for Mr. The position is in the county over there. But my aunt has a good eye, although the son lives in the county, but someone in the family is in the capital, he is a big businessman, and he is very rich."

Just now the groom went over there to ask his colleagues about something and came back to tell her.The son's surname is Tong, and the patriarch of the family bought the sauce recipe from Lu Guangming. This is to let the younger generation of the family who lives close by come to Lu Guangming's family to give a new year gift, and Lu Xiuxiu happened to like it.

Mrs. Yu thought a lot, no matter how you look at it, the son is already married, it is not impossible to let Lu Xiuxiu go to be a concubine, and it is in that county, Tong's family is considered a big business in that county, the family With a lot of money, even a concubine is enough to be with Lu Xiuxiu.

Lu Xiuxiu quickly asked: "Then he is married?"

Yu said with a smile: "How can I know this? If my old lady wants to know, I have to let the people in that house ask."

When Lu Xiuxiu heard this, she immediately got off the kang and went to the east room.

"This?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't understand.

Mrs. Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, and Mrs. Zhang laughed immediately, "That's okay, it sounds like a good thing."

Yu said: "It will be a good thing if it comes to fruition."
