Chapter 304: The Lu Family's Ugly (2)
Shopkeeper Cao continued: "The Lu couple hate iron and steel, and the old man Lu resolutely stopped giving his son a son in anger, and Lu Min was helpless, so he could only make up his mind with his wife. The property brought by the Wang family didn't take long to lose a fine money to her husband, which can't be stopped, Lu Min lost red eyes in the casino, sneaked into the restaurant tent to steal money and was caught, and scolded his father so much that his head was not a face or a face, and he actually started the idea of his daughter, and almost took Xiao Yun'er out and sold it......"
"What?!" Hearing this, how could Su Lie still resist anger? Even if you don't slap the table, your eyes shoot a cold light.
The general of the Great Wall Guard Army, even if he is only sitting, can not be angry and arrogant, and now that he is angry, how can ordinary people dare to look up? Shopkeeper Cao was so frightened that his hand holding the wine glass shook, and a glass of wine spilled on the placket.
Su Lie came back to his senses at this time, knowing that he couldn't help but forget to cover up, and it was too late to remedy it, so he could only put on a smiling face as if he was nothing, and apologized: "Ah, I'm really sorry to scare Boss Cao, Su has always been jealous and hateful, and he will have a little temper when he hears injustices, and I hope that Boss Cao Haihan!" ”
Shopkeeper Cao wiped his placket with his sleeve, thinking to himself what the hell is this guy? It's really amazing, it's definitely not ordinary people! So I still have to be careful.
How dare he complain, waved his hand and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Su, you are really serious!" Whoever listens to such a thing, as long as it is a little bloody, it will be uneven, let alone a character like you? However, decades have passed since that incident, and Xiao Yun'er snatched it back to her mother, which can be regarded as an escape from a catastrophe in her life. But poor Wang was already weak and couldn't stand the fright, and he couldn't afford to make a fuss about it, and he died of illness not long after. As for Lu Min's bastard, his daughter didn't sell it, and she had no money to pay off her gambling debts, so she was beaten to death. You say, his family is rich, but the problem is that he has no power! One is not a big official, and the second is that there is no backstage in the middle of the court, how big a lawsuit can it be to kill him? The official of the yamen casually arrests someone to hand over the errand, and this big case of human life is over. Of course, Lu Min deserves to die, and no one avenges him. If the daughter-in-law is still alive, the old couple of the Lu family can still go to Zhang Luo for the lawsuit, but they watched their son force their daughter-in-law to death, and even their granddaughter almost fell into the fire pit. ”
"Hmph, that's a fitting analogy!" Su Lie clenched his fists and praised.
Shopkeeper Cao continued: "In this way, an old couple raised Xiao Yun'er as a granddaughter and a daughter, and loved her like a treasure, and when Yun'er grew up to be sixteen years old, she was reluctant to marry when she reached the age when she should get married. Yun'er also clings to her grandfather and grandmother and can't go out, and she clearly says that if she is born in this family in this life, she will definitely die in this family! Time is like an arrow, the marriage dragged on for four years, the Lu family is famous, Yun'er was born well-behaved again, and she got her mother's appearance and character. ”
In ancient times, it was normal for women to marry at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and those who had not married after twenty became old girls, and the "value" naturally decreased year by year.
Su Lie asked with a smile: "Isn't it that in the end, the shopkeeper Lu came to an inverted door bolt and found a son-in-law for his granddaughter." ”
"Ha~" Shopkeeper Cao slapped his face, even in the noisy and noisy lobby, it was clear, provoking a few nearby tables of diners to look here.
Shopkeeper Cao continued without scruples: "Miss Yun'er loves to dance and write ink, and when she beat Xiao Lu, the old man asked all kinds of gentlemen to teach her literary card skills and piano skills, such a talented girl must marry a talented man to get on the right page, so she came to a literary test to recruit relatives, and finally the young lady fell in love with a foreigner surnamed Xue." The man came to Chang'an to take the exam, and finally became the first to make a living, selling calligraphy and paintings on the street. Mr. and Mrs. Lu can see it and think that the children of the rich family may not be reliable, just like their own unscrupulous sons. People in poverty can bear hardships and stand hard work, and also cherish the hard-won happy life, such people must be more reliable than the children of official eunuchs. Of course, there is an important point, that is, people with good family backgrounds, and how many people are willing to give their sons to others as sons-in-law, as if they are married? ”
"Hehe, Old Man Lu is really a reasonable person, so Miss Yun'er's lifelong happiness will be settled, right?" Su Lie asked with a smile.
Shopkeeper Cao's frowning brows did not let go, and his face of fat swayed with his expression, "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but unfortunately it is probably because Lu Min has done too much evil, and God has sent retribution, not to his parents, but to his daughter and son-in-law." ”
"Oh? Why? Su Lie's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
The shopkeeper Cao said: "As the old man Lu thought, the Xue Xianggong named Xue Jin is cautious and very diligent. After about ten years in this way, two great-grandsons were born, and the happy life of the Lu family was impeccable, but ten years later, the old couple died one after another, and family problems came out. Of course, the relationship between the Xue couple is still very good, but the business of Zhenxiang Restaurant has plummeted due to the diarrhea incident, and it seems that it will not be able to support a family. ”
Su Lie's heart followed Boss Cao's story, and when he heard this, he knew that the haunted kitchen was about to come out, so he was more focused.
Shopkeeper Cao said: "Speaking of haunting, we have to talk about that Xue Gongzi." He called Tu County, which is quite far away from Chang'an City, and said that he had the physique of attracting ghosts when he was young, and it was rare for others to see ghosts at night, and he could often see ghosts walking around during the day. Tu County is remote, there is a cemetery in the mountains behind the county seat, he died of his parents since he was a child, and lived in the house of his uncle and aunt, to put it bluntly, he is under the fence, and when he is a teenager, he plans to enter Beijing to seek an official and a half-job, and get rid of the unfortunate life of living in the county. In addition, Chang'an City is prosperous, the yang energy is abundant, and there is a curfew system at night and you don't have to go out, which can also eliminate the troubles of ghosts, so I came here. Unexpectedly, he was not angry, he tried and landed, and he simply didn't take the test, but he didn't go back to his hometown, just stayed in Chang'an to make a living. When he joined the Lu family, he was destitute and had no qualifications to put forward any conditions, and the only thing he asked for the permission of Old Man Lu was to bring a piece of iron ball. ”
"What? Bring a piece of iron into someone's house to be a son-in-law? This request is really strange, and Su Lie, who is not strange about things in the world, is also puzzled.
Shopkeeper Cao nodded and shook his head, and sighed heavily: "Old Man Lu didn't take this seriously, just thought about it, isn't it a piece of iron?" It is estimated that my uncle likes to mess with these things, so let him be, so he agreed, who knew that this would cause the disaster later. ”
