The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 198 The Weird Old Xiongling

In the yard, a banquet has been placed.The sumptuous dishes were served like flowing water, Zhao Zhigao and other guests were seated at a table in the main room, the female relatives were in the west wing, and folks from Laoxiongling sat in the west side of the courtyard.

Even the grooms, servants, maids and wives who came with the guests also set up two tables alone in the back room, which made these people very grateful.They are servants, and they are almost used to being treated with contempt.Most of the time, when serving the master to the banquet, you have to go back home hungry. It's okay to have leftovers in the kitchen, but if you don't have any, you will be hungry until the next day.I don't want to come to Lu's house today, I thought it would be a hard job in the backcountry, but I received such kind treatment.

Seeing that there was no difference between their dishes and those on the banquet, they were even happier.

A servant girl ate a few mouthfuls quickly and went to change the little sister who was serving the master, but the servant girl who changed back was surprised, "Oh, these dishes are also on the master's table!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the busy Lu family. The laughing villagers in the yard couldn't help feeling envious.

Historically, the rules of each family's banquets are that the banquets should be ranked first, second, and third. This Lu family is weird, no matter the host and guest, ordinary villagers, or their servants, the banquets are all the same.

Is it because the Lu family doesn't understand the rules, or is it that the Lu family regards hosts, guests, villagers, and lower class people as important?
What a weird old Xiongling, weird Lu family...

At the main table in the main room, a few old scholars also picked up food with their chopsticks but couldn't find their mouths.

Originally, I just heard that the Lu family was closed because their son became the dean of the academy, and the Lu family was treated favorably by Mr. Fu Yin.But looking at it today, the word "kindness" can't describe this.

What Zhao Zhigao basically practiced was the ceremony of juniors, one mouthful of Mr. Lu, and he shouted more respectfully than the naughty boys in the village. Looking at it from the past, people who didn't know thought that Mr. Lu was the parent of a certain first-rank official in Kyoto. .

If it was someone else, they would have to guess.But the details of the Lu family are all too clear to students like them.

Although Father Lu had some talents, he suddenly dropped out of school and stayed at home for some reason after being selected as a scholar. He soon got married and had children, and lived in Laoxiongling for half his life. , I'm afraid I can't even eat food now, let alone sit on an equal footing with Mr. Fu Yin.

Could it be that Mr. Fu Yin has something in his hands that the dean's proud disciple is in the hands of?
While flattering the Fu Yin, several old scholars turned their minds wildly, until the banquet was over, got on their own horse sledge and walked out of Laoxiong Ridge, and then the impatient daughter-in-law regained her senses.

"Master, didn't you say that the Lu family is dilapidated? Seeing you today, I'm afraid they will live better than our family!"

The old scholar glanced at the girl who lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. She was a little embarrassed and said vaguely, "The girl from the Lu family is smart. She takes care of most of the family's business, which is amazing."

"This is more than remarkable. You don't know that at the Jiji ceremony, the red treasure headgear she wore, a golden crown is enough for half of our girl's dowry, and the clothes are all good from the south. , Last time I went to the cloth shop, I was not willing to buy it."

"is it?"

Now the old scholar also became suspicious, "I'm afraid the Lu family's business has really made a lot of money, but Lu Wencheng has deep thoughts and never revealed a word."

Mrs. Xiucai's eyes became more eager, and she hurriedly asked, "You can see the third son of the Lu family, how talented and educated, I heard that he is also very respected by the master in the academy, Kaichun must be on the list. After becoming an official, there will be so many senior brothers Advising and helping, the future is boundless. I don't know if he is engaged?"

The old scholar really had a few words with Lu Qian at the wine table before, and when he heard his wife's plan, he smiled, "Well, Lu Qian is naturally a good one. I'll come to ask after the new year. able…"

The husband and wife were talking lively, and they forgot their own girl. The girl thought about Xiaomi's fancy clothes and jewelry, and thought about the elegant young man who glanced vaguely, so blushing that she almost stuffed herself into the gap in the seat...

This kind of dialogue happened on almost every sledge leaving Laoxiongling. Of course, there were also clear-headed and shrewd scholars who rejected the proposal of their daughter-in-law, "The matter of the Lu family is still unclear. There is a suspicion of trying to cling."

The woman's mind was full of Xiaomi's jewelry and clothes, how could she give up so easily, and complained, "You have been aloof for half your life, lest people say you cling to the rich and powerful, but now it is better, choose a good wife for your son, who is of the right family, and you are so explain."

The scholar was unmoved, and resolutely said, "If you say you can't make it, you won't be able to do it. This girl from the Lu family is amazing. People like us can't marry her. It's better to settle for the next best thing. Old Xiongling is no longer what it used to be. See See if there are any good girls from other people's families."

"Hey, when the master said it, I remembered it. Just now, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family said that the girl of the Lu family specially invited the nun to teach the girls in the village to write and keep accounts, and also learned the rules and manners. She looks better than ordinary girls. Too much."

"It's exactly like this. Marrying a daughter-in-law is low, and marrying a daughter is high. You might as well ask a few more questions. The most important thing is a peaceful home."

"Well, my lord is right."

The north wind blows snow particles and hits the sledge, rustling, and there are almost two worlds inside and outside the car.

But the winter was coming to an end, and Bei Feng was always not so confident, and ran away after playing around a few times.

So the sledge was successfully pulled by the horses, ran across the vast snow field, and rushed to the not-too-distant spring day...

In the Lu family compound, all the villagers did not expect that all the young girls, including Xiaomi, would become good materials in the cloth village and be remembered by others.

Xiaomi was tired like a dead dog lying on the kang, rubbing his neck and complaining to Aunt Han, "Auntie, I just changed a few sets of clothes, why am I so tired. I would rather cook a table of good dishes than cook Such a puppet. It's just..."

"It's nothing, a good girl, she doesn't have any rules!"

Mrs. Tie entered the house at some point, and said angrily, "It's not enough for a girl from another family to want such a grand wedding ceremony, but you really despise it."

"That's right, Xiaomi, when I reach Ji, it's enough to have half the excitement."

The big girl is helping to take off the golden crown on Xiaomi's head, her eyes are full of envy.

Xiaomi quickly sat down with a dry smile, stuck out her tongue and acted coquettishly with Mrs. Tie, "Godmother, I did a good job today. Are the rules correct?"

"Barely not bad," Mrs. Tie's expression was still cold and indifferent, but Feng Niang, who knew her well, easily noticed that the corners of the master's lips were curled up, so she was overjoyed, so she interjected, "Don't worry, Miss, just now Mrs. Cai was still in the room praising you. "

"Oh, it's all taught by my godmother, and I'm smart, so I finished it smoothly."

Xiaomi became more and more proud, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

Madam Tie couldn't hold back her face either, she raised her hand and tapped her forehead.

"From now on, I'll be a big girl. If you put her in a big family and make an early engagement, Jiji should get married."

Xiaomi is most afraid of this topic, so he quickly changed the topic, "Godmother and everyone have worked hard for my wedding ceremony today, I will cook tonight and make delicious food for everyone, okay?"

"Not good," Aunt Liu came in from the outside and smiled, "It's been a long day, so don't worry about it. We live in one place all day, so what's the difference between such a night. The outside is tidied up, and we also I'm going back. It's not too late to get together after a few days of rest!"

This also made sense, and the crowd dispersed after a few more jokes.

Xiaomi was really exhausted, so he gave Qinghua Qingyu a few words, and then fell asleep in a daze. He was vaguely planning what to do and eat at night, but suddenly he heard something in his ear.So he subconsciously opened his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Who is outside?"

No one answered outside the window, but was knocked twice.

Xiaomi got up, glanced at the semi-dark room, and there was no one there, so he put on his coat and went down to the ground.

After opening the door of the outer room, Chu Yiyi stood outside with a frosty face.

Xiaomi hurriedly dragged him in, and while patting the snowflakes off his body, he complained, "Where did you go this day? My second brother pretended to be a cute monkey for a day, but you didn't see him!"

On the first day of the junior high school, he responded, pulled Xiaomi's busy little hand, and put something in her hand.

Xiaomi looked down, and it turned out to be an animal tooth, as long as a small peanut, and it was terrifyingly white.

"Ah, what kind of teeth are these, they are so sharp!"

On the first day of the new year, Xu was very happy to see that Xiaomi was not so frightened that he raised his hand and threw it away. He grinned and replied, "Wolf!"

Wolf?

Xiaomi stared in shock, stretched out his hand to slap him, then quickly retracted it, and looked him up and down, "You actually ran into the mountains to hunt wolves, you are dying! Where did you get hurt? Who will go with you?" of?"

It's a pity that on the first day of junior high school, he made up his mind not to speak, but just showed off his white teeth. Xiaomi was so angry that he wanted to knock out all his teeth with a hammer.

On the first day of junior high school, he took out the wolf tooth and compared it to Xiaomi's ankle. The intention was obvious. He hunted a wolf desperately, and took the tooth just to make an anklet for Xiaomi.

Xiaomi was helpless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he snatched the wolf teeth, and cursed, "You elm head, with such sharp teeth on your feet, don't I poke a hole in myself if I move?"

The moment his eyes darkened on the first day of the junior high school, and he rubbed his hands anxiously, Xiaomi opened the purse on his waist, carefully put the wolf teeth in it, and finally tied it up again, smiling, "Don't worry, this is the Jiji I gave me on the first day of the junior high school." I will carry it with me every day as a gift."

Hearing this, the disappointed face on the first day of the junior high school changed color quickly like a snowfield shining in spring, and the joy seemed to overflow from the eyes.

Xiaomi patted him on the forehead, closed the lapel of his coat, and pulled him out, "Let's go, go to the front yard. After running in the mountains for a day, you are not afraid of the cold. I will make you a pot of chicken soup to warm your stomach. You can't do this in the future, leaving the root of the disease, and you will suffer in the future winter."

On the first day of junior high school, I smiled brilliantly, but still didn’t say a word…

On the roof of the west wing, two white snow bags were quietly gathered together.Xuan Liu whispered, "Fifth brother, should I send a letter to the master? This prairie barbarian is too good at coaxing girls."
