Almost at the same time, the banquet dispersed. After all, few people who came to the banquet really came to drink the wedding wine.
Some of them came to see Lou Qingyi’s jokes, and some came to see the direction of the wind.
After the two Lou brothers left, they did not go home separately. Instead, they found a restaurant that was not closed yet and sat down.
Lou Shubi poured a glass of wine for his second brother and said slowly: "Brother, what do you think of this matter?"
It was not convenient to communicate too much at the banquet just now, now is the time to talk to each other.
Lou Zhongmou took a sip of wine and said: "Brother Wei, I feel this is very strange. Didn't you say that this son-in-law was found randomly on the street? How come in the blink of an eye, he became the one named Chen.
”
Lou Shubi frowned slightly, this was something he couldn't figure out.
In fact, whether this son-in-law was temporarily found on the street, or it was Chen Chang himself, he was not too concerned about it.
However, this feeling of being kept in the dark is not a good one.
Lou Qingyi, my niece, has been much more mature than her peers since she was a child. In recent years, the two brothers have been unable to guess her thoughts.
"Brother, this is what I find strange." Lou Shubi poured himself a drink, "She hid it from all of us, even the spy I installed was kept in the dark."
"We underestimated her after all. Although she is only a woman, she is extremely scheming. I am afraid that neither you nor I can be her match." Lou Zhongmou sighed.
Lou Shubi said: "Brother, don't try to inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. It's just that we were too careless this time. If you and I hadn't forced her to get married, how could we have been deceived by her?"
Lou Zhongmou said: "How could such a kind-hearted boss have such a thoughtful daughter?"
Lou Shubi smiled and said: "Brother, I'm afraid you don't know our eldest brother well enough until now. His kindness and generosity are all for others to see, especially for my father. We four brothers
, the eldest brother is the best at being a good person, the fourth brother is the most popular with my father, and we are the only two brothers who are caught in the middle and are the least popular."
Lou Zhongmou also sighed and said: "Lao San, you are the smartest and see this matter most thoroughly."
Lou Shubi waved his hand: "Brother, who doesn't know that we two brothers are as good as one person?"
Lou Zhongmou said: "My father is still awake, what should we do?"
Lou Shubi stroked his beard and said: "Brother, don't worry, haven't we succeeded in the first step? Now this niece is married. This married daughter has thrown out water. Strictly speaking, she is already
People from the Chen family, not from our Lou family."
"Third brother, do you want her to let her go? But the most profitable business of our Lou family is in the hands of the big house, how can she be willing to let it go?"
Lou Shubi smiled and said: "Brother, if you tell her so directly that you want her to delegate power, she will naturally refuse. You have to use your brain."
Lou Zhongmou was not angry at all, and asked: "Then quickly tell me if you have any good ideas."
Lou Shubi said: "Brother, don't worry, I just have a preliminary idea, and today I will go over it in detail with my brother."
"Then tell me quickly!"
"Brother, look..."
"Third brother, that guy surnamed Chen won't ruin our good deeds, right?"
"How is it possible that he is just a stupid son-in-law!"
……
Early the next morning, Chen Chang woke up from his dream.
Only then did I realize that Lou Qingyi had already finished washing and gone out.
Xiao Yu'er outside the door heard the noise and hurried in to help the new uncle get up.
Chen Chang didn't care at all and changed his clothes under Xiao Yu'er's service.
Xiao Yu'er is Lou Qingyi's confidant maid, so there is no need to shy away from building the floor himself.
This little girl is very loyal to Lou Qingyi, so naturally she won't go out and talk nonsense.
Chen Chang’s face can be considered saved.
"Where did the lady go?" Chen Chang asked while combing her hair.
At this time, men all had long hair and spent as much time taking care of it every day as women did.
Anyway, I am idle, and I can just talk to Xiao Yuer.
"Back to my uncle, the lady said she went to check out the store." After Chen Chang and Lou Qingyi officially got married, Xiao Yuer's attitude towards Chen Chang became more respectful.
"Which shop?" Chen Chang is a businessman, so naturally he is most interested in these things.
"It seems... it seems..." Xiao Yu'er began to try hard to remember, and suddenly said, "My servant made a mistake in remembering. The young lady went to Zhuangzi outside the city."
"Do you still want Dazhuangzi in your Lou family?"
Xiao Yu'er nodded: "This is natural, and this Zhuangzi is quite big!"
There is pride in his tone.
During the Han Dynasty, especially the Eastern Han Dynasty, the manor economy had emerged. It was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that land annexation expanded even more, resulting in a high concentration of land in the hands of powerful landlords, making these large landowners hold huge amounts of land.
After the land was taken away, the bankrupt farmers had to stay away from the place where their ancestors worked hard, and in the end they were left with no place to stand.
In order to survive, they had no choice but to rely on the big landowners.
During the great turmoil in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, large landowners began to build large estates with strong fortresses in order to protect the land they controlled from the looting of war and the plunder of insurgents.
In this kind of large-scale manor economy, "the wealthy man's house has hundreds of buildings, the fields are full of fields, there are thousands of slaves and maids, and thousands of people are attached to them. Ships, carts, and merchants are all over the place; the abandoned residences and hoards are full of the capital. Qi bribery
"Treasures cannot be accommodated in a large house." The surplus grain of the landlord's family is huge!
Chen Chang smiled bitterly, starting from yesterday, I am also the son-in-law of the landlord's family.
But why can’t I be happy at all?
"Xiao Yu'er, can I go to Zhuangzi together to have a look?"
It's not easy to be the son-in-law of a landlord. When you go out, you have to ask for permission from your personal maid.
Xiao Yuer blinked: "This..."
The lady just asked her to pay attention to her uncle, but she did not say that she would not let him do this or that. However, this matter was not a big deal for her, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
Chen Chang smiled and said: "I know you are worried that the lady will talk about you. Don't worry about this. I will naturally explain it to her."
"But..."
"Okay, there's nothing like that! In this way, after breakfast, we'll go out. Is Zhuangzi far from the city? If it's not far, we should be able to arrive before noon."
"Not far!" Xiao Yu'er shook his head, "But the lady's side..."
"I'm here!"
After a simple breakfast, the two took a small cart to Zhuangzi outside the city.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Chen Chang felt extremely uncomfortable. He looked back a few times, but didn't find anything unusual.
Xiao Yu'er saw that he was weird and asked: "Uncle, what's wrong?"
Chen Chang shook his head: "Nothing!"
Xiao Yuer said: "If my uncle is worried, there is no need to go."
Chen sang: "How is this possible?"
Xiao Yu'er smiled and said: "Then just call it to accompany us."
"Who?"
"My uncle will know after seeing you for a while."
