227, the difference between cloud and mud
The first time Lu realized that the Tang family's door was so difficult to get in. After spending a lot of money, he pulled out the hairpin on his head and barely entered the second door. Looking back at that time, he had asked all the way to the Tang family with his sister-in-law and Tang Wu's engagement documents, and had never been treated like this.
A while ago, although Mrs. Tang only let herself meet Cuixian at the second gate, the gatekeepers of the second gate also accompanied her smiling faces, cleaned up a clean room, and placed hot tea and snacks. She and her sister-in-law were drinking tea and eating melon seeds and chatting with her sister-in-law.
Now, the gatekeeper of the second gate has changed a new person. Lu's name came to report, and the woman asked as if she was deaf, "Who? Who do you think you are?"
Lu had to say patiently: "Your fifth wife is our aunt."
Yesterday, after being reminded by the official, I didn’t dare to say the word “in-law” at will.
"Are you from the Zhen family?" The guardian looked at Lu's clothes up and down. Lu subconsciously stretched the corner of his clothes and stroked his half-bald left temple with his left hand. Although it was covered with beads, it could still reveal a little scalp. Hearing the guardian said, "It was your wife who asked you to come here?"
Madam? I am the wife! Lu was stunned, a little embarrassed, but more annoyed: "A slave is so rude, I am your fifth wife's sister-in-law!"
The old lady opened her mouth wide and looked at Lu like she was looking at something from outside: "You, are you the uncle of your in-laws?"
"Old Zhang is not here, so I changed into these ignorant raw goods!" Lu simply sat down and slapped the wind with a handkerchief, "Why don't you invite your fifth wife over here, I have something urgent to find her."
The old lady opened her mouth and forced a smile: "I don't know Jin Xiangyu, please don't be surprised by uncle!" As she said that, she went to order the little girl who ran errands.
Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Today, he wore all the best clothes and jewelry in his family on the precious jewelry and silks in the past, and replaced them with silver to deal with the prison guards in order to avoid suffering in it.
But when I heard the little girl outside the window muttering something, the old lady scolded her, "What if it's true? I can't afford it at that time. Sister-in-law, just go and have a trip. The emperor has three poor relatives."
Lu was so angry that he saw Zhen and asked her to deal with these dog slaves well. Zhen, would she still meet her family? Lu did not have this confidence, after all, she had already torn her face last time. But, after all, it was blood thicker than water! No matter how much hatred she had, Zhen Ben was also his only brother!
When I married into the Zhen family, although I had no parents-in-law and had the ability to make the decision, the family was so poor that they were so poor that they were put into the pot of brown rice every time. I couldn't see the meat star in March, and my sister-in-law's little burden... Although I was complaining in my heart, I never treated her badly. I gradually became in love and treated her as a girl.
Cuixian, she would not watch her brother and his family jump into the fire pit.
Thinking of this, Lu calmed down his emotions and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a veil. Today's innocence is hot. The family has tight money these days, and even Bing is reluctant to use it. Cuixian... If she knew the whole story, she would definitely save her. Now the Zhen family is only left with orphans and widows. Cuixian might have to take her and Ming Ge'er to the Tang family to live for a while.
The Tang family's ice is always rich.
Lu brushed his thin silk clothes. If he had known that he would come over in a coarse cloth, Cuixian would definitely cry when he saw it.
It is time to bring Ming Ge'er here too. Although this lameness is temporary, if my aunt sees her nephew's lame legs, she will naturally feel even more distressed.
Just as Lu was thinking, he saw the gatekeeper coming in and squeezed out a lukewarm smile: "Mrs. Uncle has been waiting for a long time, Miss Luanxi has come."
Luanxi was the big girl next to the fifth wife. Shi Shiran walked in and gave the woman some money, so she asked her to guard the door.
Lu didn't know what he meant for a moment, could Cuixian refuse to see him?
Luanxi bowed her head and gave her uncle a gift that could not be more shallow, and the smile on her face was also so faint: "I hope my uncle will forgive me. Our wife has been sick since she returned to my uncle's birthday party last time. The old lady asked her to raise her well, so don't be angry with those troubles anymore."
Lu never expected that even Cuixian's face would not be able to see her. She thought that she was just pissing and giving herself some expressions. At that time, she would cry and learn everything about the family from her. Cuixian's anger would disappear. In the end, she probably hugged her head and cried with her... Who knew that this cruel and ungrateful wolf would not even see her sister-in-law's face!
No, she knows her sister-in-law herself, but she is not so cruel.
Lu grabbed Luan Xi's sleeve and whispered: "But your old lady won't let her meet her family?"
Luan Xi smiled faintly and pulled back her sleeve: "I don't understand what my uncle said. No matter how generous the old lady is, she can't control the affairs of the fifth wife's family. It's because our wife is seriously ill, which is mainly because she is heartbroken and she will never get sick since then." As she said that, she took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and gently wiped her eyes.
Lu was stunned: "Miss, let me go and see Cuixian. Maybe I will persuade her and she will be fine."
"It's not possible," Luan Xi said hurriedly, "I have not advised my wife. The last time I mentioned my uncle, our wife was anxious and wanted to kill out with scissors... Since then, we dare not mention it again. My uncle is also considerate and considerate, we are slaves. Our master will return to Beijing in a few days. When we entered the house, we saw that our wife and daughter are like this today... If we know the whole story again, my uncle will not know our master's temperament. Although the matter of the back house is not entirely up to the wife, once we get serious, we can't rub the sand in our eyes..."
Lu couldn't help but feel excited. Tang Wu himself didn't understand. Although he was happy every time he saw him, he almost never stepped into the Zhen family's door. He took his wife and daughter back to the door during the Chinese New Year. He just drank three drinks with his brother-in-law on the table, and then refused to leave the table early. What would happen if he knew about this? On the hot day, Lu actually got goosebumps.
"I said a sir, my uncle should come to the Tang family less in the past two years. When things go lighter, we will talk about it. After all, our wife and uncle are close relatives after all, and we will not be completely broken." Luan Xi's words came from the heart.
In the past two years? Is this just one trick going to support myself until two years later?
Lu was in a state of confusion for a moment. Not to mention Cuixian, it seems that the Tang family will definitely not let him enter the house. What should I do? The family affairs are in full bloom... Do you have to ask Cuixian for her mother-in-law?!
When my heart was in a mess, I suddenly saw the door open and a girl came in. I don’t know if it was Yanran or Smile. They were exactly the same, and Lu had never distinguished it.
Luanxi said, "Why do you have to come here in person, Miss?"
But Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He was so anxious that he could not see Cuixian. He could meet the girls! The girls are serious masters, and he ordered the managers to pay some money in the account. Isn’t that a good thing to win!
The girl waved her hand and asked Luanxi to go out first.
OK, it’s better to speak by closing the door.
When Luanxi went out, Lu rushed towards the girl like a female leopard: "My niece! Your uncle has let the traitor go to prison! The shops at home are all over the house, and there is no money to clear the relationship! The official lion spoke up and asked for ten thousand taels of silver! Otherwise..." Tears and snot came as soon as they came, and they almost overturned the roof: "Maybe you will lock your uncle up for ten or eight years! Your uncle has lived a fine life over the years, howling howls, how can he withstand the jail? If the people are gone, the business will be over, the family will be ruined! My brother Ming and I are afraid that they will be driven to the street to beg for food! My niece, your uncle has loved you the most since childhood, and now our Zhen family depends on you!"
But the girl's face was always as cold as frost, without any touch: "I love me the most, can my aunt recognize who I am?"
"Yanran? Or..." Lu asked tentatively, but the word "smiling" could not be said for a moment. After all, the family was conspiring to bring them into the cave... Lu looked at the girl secretly, but couldn't tell which one it was. He gritted his teeth: "Ming Ge'er is just a child, and there are no wicked intestines. He just took you to see the puppy, and he had no other thoughts!"
The girl snorted softly and changed the topic: "Why did my uncle get into Guan Chai? Could it be that he did something to kill and set fire?"
When Lu mentioned this, he was so angry that he said, "Isn't that Aunt Chen? He was actually an official maid from the Qin family. Now he has been found out that he wants to punish your uncle, a criminal minister, for hiding his crime!"
The girl smiled coldly: "This crime is a big deal. If the Tang family gets in trouble, they might be labeled as colluding with the criminal."
Lu pulled the girl's hand: "For your Tang family, this is just a matter of one word."
"Haha, that government is not owned by the Tang family. The Tang family has such great ability. I forgive my niece for being incompetent and cannot share the worries of the outside family." The girl sat down and slapped the round fan in her hand like nothing happened. The fan was a lion cat embroidered by Su embroidered, especially her eyes were vividly embroidered, and she stared at the person opposite.
Lu was stared at a little guilty, but he still had to say what he should say, and his lips were bitten with blood marks: "If you can't speak to the government, you have to raise money, 10,000 taels of silver, even if we sell the house, we won't pay it back! If the girl can help with some money..."
The girl immediately pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and placed it on the table: "Aunt, how is this hairpin look like?"
Lu was puzzled for a moment. Is he going to use gold jewelry to dispose of himself?
The girl knocked on the table: "I'm afraid I don't know that this hairpin looks golden, but it's not valuable. It's just that there's a layer of gold on the outside, and the heart inside is actually copper."
Lu frowned and wanted to take it over and take it carefully, but the girl picked it up first and inserted it back on her head: "I'm not afraid of my aunt's joke. Now our fifth room can't even take out a red gold hairpin. A while ago, my mother collected all the gold in our family and melted it into a golden scale, and gave my uncle's forty birthday as a gift."
Lu's face turned red and white, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. He touched the bald hair on his left, and felt a ruthless heart: "The lean camel is bigger than a horse. This matter is related to your uncle's life. Your mother can't sit idly by! Let's not talk about the golden scale, even our winter clothes are taken care of! Poor Brother Ming, my legs are still injured..." Finally, I couldn't help but crying like a collapse, but this cry was real.
The girl was still indifferent and asked Luanxi to come in: "Let Uncle Liansheng think of a way. Even if he can't get out of the way, don't let my uncle suffer too much in it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lu wished she could kowtow to her niece: "Girl is merciful, merciful, merciful!"
But the girl didn't even look at her: "Auntie, don't come again, the Tang family will never help my uncle's business in the future."
"Girl, where do you ask us to go back! The shop is gone! It takes money to start over again, and the Zhen family can no longer afford the money!" Lu wailed.
But the girl only left four words: "It has nothing to do with me."
Go out the door and never look back.
Lu felt a little dizzy. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot and there were signs of heatstroke, or maybe it was because this trip did not meet his expectations at all. Could it be that he was going to go back to Shandong?
A few years ago, when did I go back to Shandong not return home in glory? This time, do I really have to beg for food?
No, you must sell Brother Liang today! The buyers were all looking for each other yesterday. They saw Brother Liang beautiful, and they promised to pay one tael of extra silver. If Brother Ming hadn't knelt down and stopped him, he would have sold the little beast long ago!
Lu sighed long and looked up at the green tiles and high walls of the mansion. Is he and this family in-laws? This is indeed a joke.
I vaguely remember that the little girl brought in two boxes of thick snacks just now. She should go back to eat for Brother Ming. She was thinking about how to ask for the snacks to come out, and then she heard a slight voice behind her.
"aunt."
Lu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the voice was a little strange. Lu slowly turned around and saw a girl with a thin figure and picturesque eyebrows.
Lu was stunned and had never seen such a beautiful girl again.
Is it that fox? Very cute?
It's cute.
Keju sent a floral bag: "Let's study for Brother Ming and Brother Liang."
He stopped talking, and after a bow, he turned around and left.
Lu did not expect that this bag was heavy. After touching it, it was full of silver, and it weighed at least a hundred taels...
Lu stared at the figure who had gone away. It had not been seen for several years. Her memory of this child was still stuck when she was two or three years old. She only remembered to prick her white and tender arm with the tip of her hairpin and prick it blood. The child didn't dare to cry, but just stared at herself with uncertain eyes. Her innocent eyes were full of confusion and doubts...
Lu's heart was thrust and he had never regretted it like this.
Brother Liang, stop selling, let him follow Brother Ming to study in a private school in his hometown.
