Yangzhou City, Wu was standing outside the door and talking to the neighbor, Lu Xiong came over, Wu smiled at the neighbor and said that this is my best uncle, generously invited Lu Xiong into the house to have a cup of tea, the neighbor came in and sat for a while.

Because the Wu family is middle-aged, there is a daughter in the family, and they have always behaved in a regular manner, and the neighbors have no suspicions.

In the house, suddenly Lu Xiong sighed: "My sister-in-law's house is really quiet, I think the house is also spacious, not bad." ”

Wu Shi smiled: "It's just a burrow, and it is also an old mansion left by the ancestors, how can it compare to the Liu Mansion on the other side?" The family is splendid, rich and rich, and the uncle is too polite. ”

"Otherwise, a nonsense word will be very different from my sister-in-law's family." Lu Xiong looked distressed, "There is only one guest house in his house, and a few Shandong friends have come in the past two days, and it is separated from my house." Sister-in-law, don't look at the Shandong people who belong to the same Sven, the diet is inseparable from raw onions and garlic for a day, and the mouthful of chewing is full of bad smell, which makes people feel sick.

That's it, at night, everyone gets drunk, sings loudly in the middle of the night, and snores like thunder after falling asleep, and they haven't closed their eyelids for days, you say it's hateful? Everyone is a guest, I think I should endure it for a few days, so as not to embarrass Brother Liu, who knew that they planned to stay for a month.

I was so angry that I came out to see a few inns, but none of them were to my liking. Sister-in-law, if my brother can come back in the near future, I want to borrow the Mansion to stay for a few days, so as to save me from the uncomfortable business trip from the inn to the north and south. Your family has a lot of spare rooms, but unfortunately my brother is not at home, so I can't talk about it. ”

Wu Shi listened to him in a big circle, understood, and secretly listened to his tone, and clearly wanted to borrow my house to live temporarily, because his husband was not at home, it was inconvenient to talk about it. It stands to reason that the family is good, and I should lend him to live in Yangzhou, anyway, I am twice as old as him. Besides, the daughter is also at home, and the house is divided into front and back, not to mention how noble is the identity of the family? The neighbors don't talk nonsense, and even if my husband comes back, they won't blame me.

The world is often in this thought, and the Wu family covets the gifts that people continue to give, and they are soft on people, so they refuse because of people's bad feelings.

After a long groan, Wu finally had an opinion and said, "Since it is noisy over there, it can't be settled. If your uncle doesn't like the humble house, why not come and stay temporarily? When your brother comes back, you can also spend time and night. ”

Lu Xiong was shocked to see that the other party agreed, and immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and said: "Thanks to the sister-in-law's kindness, I'm afraid that my brother will be unhappy when he comes back, so let's wait for him to come back." ”

"Fine." Wu Shi simply did a good job to the end, and said with a smile: "The clumsy husband's temperament is the most important thing to value friends, and he has a good family background." You're welcome. ”

Lu Xiong had a look of enthusiasm on his face, who knew that he got off the donkey down the slope, "Since that's the case, then I'll move over today." I can't stand those people anymore. When he turned around, he instructed Wang De: "You go back and pick up my luggage and other things, and tell Master Liu, don't stay with you." ”

"Yes." Wang De turned around and ran out,

Aunt Shen Lan, who was hiding behind the door, suddenly complained bitterly. But it was too late to stop it, and he said angrily: "Mother, you are so confused, and you don't want to think about him as a young man." There are only two mothers and daughters in our family, how can they be under the same roof? If you bring a stranger into your home, aren't you afraid of what people will talk about? What's more, it is inconvenient for men and women, and I am afraid that it will soon cause gossip. ”

Aunt Lan, who couldn't bear it, coughed lightly, Wu knew that her daughter meant to go in by herself, nothing more than to stop her from borrowing the house.

Wu Shi was a little angry, and said in his heart that this child is too wordy, Su Ri relies on a little cleverness, and her husband believes her words the most, what she says and listens, is it not as good as your knowledge when I am old?

So Wu didn't hear it, and accompanied Lu Xiong to talk. Aunt Shen Lan was so anxious that she didn't wait to come up with an idea, the two doors were facing each other, and Wang De came in with his luggage in a blink of an eye, and commanded the little servants in Liu's mansion to move to the guest room one by one.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Aunt Lan was so angry that she stomped her feet twice and returned to her room in a bad mood.

Lu Xiong, who was in front of him, entered the room and took out several large bags of silver, and said, "Here is a thousand taels of silver, please take it away for your sister-in-law." Although there are no idle people in our family, just because my master and servant often have to go out, once it is lost, it is not good for anyone, it is better to ask my sister-in-law to keep it. By the way, the family should eat and wear, although it doesn't hurt to use it! ”

The last sentence undoubtedly put the finishing touch, Wu Shi was happy all of a sudden, of course she would not use other people's silver, but this sound comfortable, not to mention that it will not work if you don't accept it, a thousand taels of silver.

The heavy silver was held in his arms, weighing about sixty pounds, and he entered the house with great difficulty, and saw his daughter sitting there sulking.

Wu put the thing down and deliberately asked, "What did you tell me to say before?" ”

Aunt Lan said angrily: "I persuaded my mother several times not to associate with the surname Lu, but you didn't listen, why did you get him into the house today?" Isn't it a joke that we don't have any men in our family? What kind of righteous gentleman is the person surnamed Lu who does this? Categorically ill-intentioned. Mother, don't regret it, I'll be tired of my dad in the future! ”

Loyal to the ear, coupled with being unceremoniously accused by her daughter, Wu, as a mother, was angry and laughed, and said angrily: "You kid, most of you are crazy, why are you tired?" I'm really confused. Good! You say he has bad intentions, so what is he trying to deceive me? I'm old and yellow, and I've never had two hearts, don't you believe in your mother's personality? Besides, your father will come back in a few days, people live in so generously, aren't you afraid of authenticity when you meet? Unless you are a fool, you are willing to make trouble for yourself. By the way, look at it, a thousand taels of silver will be handed over to me to collect, if it is not your father's best, can people rest assured? You are good at everything, but you are too careful, you often think about what you have and what you don't have, and you think too badly of people's hearts! ”

Aunt Shen Lan was stunned, and sent over a thousand taels of silver? Isn't that even worse? Once it's a trap, you can't tell it even if you have a long mouth. couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking that there must be something strange about this matter, but the mother was obsessed, and could only hope that his father would come back as soon as possible.

In fact, Aunt Lan has probably guessed it, what else can the beast do for besides calculating himself? I can't help but be more scared the more I think about it, but the mother is like this, the mother and daughter are not speculative, embarrassed to say it, and they are laughed at by their mother.

This night, Aunt Lan hid in the boudoir and was worried all night. The next day, the patient Lu Xiong Shi Ran got up to freshen up, and Wang De hurriedly came in and said: "Ganquan County has changed the new county order, and the young master has to go to pay a visit." ”

It turned out that the new magistrate's name was Hu Quan, a native of Chenzhou, Hunan, and he was the most proud protégé of Longding. After more than ten years in the Guozijian, he repeatedly failed to rank, and last year there were few people in the Enke exam, and he was lucky to be a jinshi and first. After a year of observing politics in Beijing, he got a real shortage last month, and sent someone to inform his mentor, and Long Ding immediately sent someone to inform his son-in-law, which was passed from Jinling, and the time was just right.

I can't see my own people, Lu Xiong changed into a five-grade public uniform. I went to the meeting alone. Hu Zhixian left him at Yamen for dinner, and invited Liu Yun over, but he came back very late.

On the second day, Hu Zhixian put on a full guard of honor and came to thank him, causing a sensation on the whole street. As a result, the neighbors all learned that the Shen family lived with a distinguished guest, not only the best friend of Father Shen, but also the best friend of the Liu Mansion opposite. It is the norm of society to be inflammatory, who doesn't come to praise a few words? It made Wu's face, which had been silent for many years, glowing, and everyone was very proud.

Jinling, a corn garden.

Xu Yu came back very late. Seeing Qingyun sitting in the room with the lamp on his back, he was speechless and asked, "Why are you sitting alone?" ”

Qingyun hurriedly said with a smile: "What's boring?" Are you going out again? ”

"I'm back." Xu Yu felt very strange, "What." Something? ”

"It's nothing." Qingyun got up to change his clothes, and asked casually, as if casually, "Have you ever been in and out of the courtyard today?" ”

"Nope." Xu Yu thought for a while, "I always left Yuchun Mountain House up and down after hitting the mountain. Didn't go from the depths of the green clouds. ”

"There are some things I can't help but say." Qingyun stopped his movements and said in a low voice: "I said that I lost a sleeping shoe, is it that the second master is hiding?" ”

Xu Yu's expression immediately fell, and he said, "What are these words?" How many times have I ever done this? The sleeping shoes are the private property of the girl's family, and they are lost and returned? Did someone steal it? No, what do girls want a shoe? Eccentric! ”

Seeing his fierce words, Qingyun couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and said in his heart that it wasn't the young master who did it, who else would do such a thing? He said softly: "Don't make a fuss about it first, you didn't take it left and right, I'll show you something." ”

As he spoke, he took out the red shoes under the pillow and handed them to Xu Yu, "Look, isn't it Princess Deqing's?" ”

Xu Yu took it and looked at it, it seemed to be Zhu Mingzhi's sleeping shoes, and said strangely: "Why are you hiding her things?" ”

"Humph!" Qingyun was not happy and pouted, "Why did I hide her?" I'm asking you, who is hiding her? Hum! ”

"Oops!" Xu Yu is in a hurry, who made him the suspect of Tianzi No. 1, who would be so boring? Who can approach the princess unscrupulously? Even Xu Hao couldn't enter the gate, and when he couldn't argue, he explained in a little panic: "You can't wronged me, don't you believe it?" I'll make a bet. If I steal it, call me at once??"

"Here we go again." Qingyun hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and glanced at him, "Do I believe you can succeed?" Really, I can't be in a hurry to be like this. ”

"I'm really wronged." Xu Yu was very annoyed, looked at his shoes as he spoke, and shouted, "This is not Sister Ming's." Look at this big red color, she doesn't like to wear red since she was a child, since she came to our house, when did you see her wearing red shoes? If you look at the arched head of this shoe, the front is not sharp, the bottom is so wide, and the size is not right, it must not be hers. You tell me honestly who I am, don't deliberately play tricks on people. ”

When Qingyun said this, he also realized that it really didn't seem to be Zhu Mingzhi's. In the past, her shoes were very slender, and the shape was very good-looking, but it was really not this stupid, and she said: "That's even more strange, who will it be?" I found it at the doorway in the depths of the green clouds. At the time, I thought it was left by you, so I blamed you for a long time. But so to speak, something strange happened in the garden. ”

Xu Yu, who was wronged, was wronged at this moment, raised his hand and flicked Qingyun's white forehead, Qingyun was in pain and hurriedly covered his head with both hands, but he was not good at the front, and his face was stupid.

Xu Yu smiled: "You are too confused, even if it is mine, you will never run around in broad daylight, what does it mean if you are searched out by Yunyu and them?" Since we picked it up in front of our door, call them to ask, and there will be a shadow to catch. (To be continued......)
