Lu Yun said this with a smile, as if he was joking, but something didn't sound right. However, even if it was a joke, this was the first time for everyone present to hear Lu Yun say such harsh words.
Lin Jinrong naturally would not answer such words, so he just smiled. Lu Yan whispered: "Ayun?"
Lu Yun smiled again and saluted Lin Jinrong Yingying: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else, it's just a pity. Although we women should focus on virtue, speech and merit, talent and learning are also important. You have been bragging about it since you were a child.
Xun, you are a very good player and are admired by everyone. You should continue to study hard and practice hard. How can you give up just because you lost to Angkor? In this case, it is no wonder that they always look down on us women."
Lin Jinrong opened her mouth slightly, could this be related to this? But before she could speak, Lu Yun saluted Wu Xiang again: "Brother Wu, I'm not targeting you, you won't argue with me, right? I
I just think it would be a rare and wonderful thing for you and my sister-in-law to compete in playing xun and bet on who of you loses and who wins. I hope that your skills will improve step by step, and I don’t want my sister-in-law to give up this job for some reason.
Hobby."
Wu Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, Ah Rong shouldn't give up just because he lost to me once. Ah Rong, you haven't played the xun for a long time, right?"
Lin Jinrong said: "Yes, but I have no time to spare." It's true that she hasn't played the xun for a long time. Since entering the Lu family, she has almost never been idle. Even if she is idle occasionally, she is not in that state of mind. But
She didn't give up just because she lost to Wu Xiang. Who are these two people? One was talking to himself, as if he was so elegant and pure, but the other actually believed him.
Wu Xiang said seriously: "Although you are busy with mundane affairs, you can still find time to practice. Now, you are the only one who can be my opponent. Although taking care of housework is important, you can also cultivate your sentiments in your free time.
.”
Lin Jinrong laughed dryly: "Brother Angkor is right."
Lu Yun glanced at the two of them, raised his hand and straightened the veil slowly. His green-white fingers stood out against the purple veil, which was particularly eye-catching. A breeze blew up, blowing up the veil, just enough to reveal her white and beautiful face.
With half of it exposed, she quickly held down the veil again and raised her head higher and higher.
Wu Xiang continued to lecture Lin Jinrong seriously: "I'm not saying that if you open a shop or run a village, it will become unconventional. I just think it's a pity that you lose this skill. You need to know that this not only requires talent, but also requires hard work on your part."
It took more than ten years to get it.”
Lin Jinrong believed that Wu Xiang was not the kind of person who regarded money as rubbish. He was born in such a family. He was the kind of person who did not take money seriously, but also knew that he could never survive without money. So he said sincerely:
"I know, I remember everything my second brother said."
Lu Yan coughed: "Ah Rong, Chunya is here, probably looking for you."
Lin Jinrong looked back and saw Chunya walking down from where Tao and others were resting. She apologized, handed Liuer to Lin Shiquan, and led the lychees and cherries towards Chunya.
Lu Yun said nothing else, confessed his crime to Wu Xiang and others, and left behind Lin Jinrong.
Wu Xiang stood with her hands behind her back and watched her aunt and sister-in-law go away. She looked back at Lu Yan and said, "Min Xing, I'm not telling you, don't turn your pearls into dead fish eyes."
Lu Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at him. Wu Xiang did not back down, looked at him levelly, and said calmly: "I'm not wrong. I still remember the song "Listening to the Snow" in the plum blossom forest."
Lu Yan looked at Wu Xiang for a while and smiled softly: "Don't worry."
Wu Xiang said: "With your words, I feel relieved."
Lu Yan stopped talking, turned to look at the surging Zhujiang River, and slowly straightened his back. Wu Xiang stood shoulder to shoulder with him, looking forward as well: "Is our old bet still worth it?"
Lu Yan said categorically: "Forget it! Of course it will!"
Wu Xiang said: "I'm waiting for you to surpass me!"
The scholar was angry and didn't know what he was competing for. So what if he won? So what if he lost? Lin Shiquan watched the whole incident from the sidelines. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly and secretly sighed that his state of mind was indeed old. He only thought about it all day long.
How to do a good and big business? He cares about whether Liu'er, Lin Jinrong and others are doing well. He really doesn't worry about other things and feels there is no need to worry about them. Lin Shiquan bent down and picked up Liu'er, put it on his shoulder and hunched over it, and said loudly
He smiled and said: "Let's go, brother will take Liu'er to fly around..."
Liu Xi quickly followed behind and complained in a low voice: "Third Master, be careful if your wife sees you. If she sees you, she will scold you and your slave. Although the girl is young, she must not lose her decency." Mrs. Tao educated Liu'er.
It's very strict and a lot of effort has been put into it.
Lin Shiquan laughed sarcastically and said: "She is still young. It is not unusual for her to ride on her father and brother's shoulders to watch the lanterns and other activities at this age." Even so, he still looked back at Tao and others with a guilty conscience.
He then steadied Liu'er's legs and whispered: "Hold your brother's head tightly, he's about to run away..."
Liu'er giggled, hugged his head tightly, and said loudly: "Ride a big horse, ride a big horse, brother, run quickly!" Lin Shiquan ran forward in a hurry. Liu Xi was so angry that he wanted to cry, while whispering
Cursing, he rushed to catch up.
Lu Yan turned around when he heard the sound, saw the situation, and couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his lips.
Lu Jing brought someone over and said with a smile: "Second brother, who do you think is here?"
Lu Yan turned around, but saw that the person who came was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a medium build, wearing a fine linen jacket with green bamboo leaves, a green knotted scarf, and green cloth shoes. He had a long face, a high nose, slightly dark complexion, and a humble smile on his face.
She bowed her head towards him and asked sideways, "Second brother, do you remember me, my younger brother?"
From the time we met last time to this time, he hadn't even changed his clothes. How could Lu Yan admit his mistake? He smiled and said, "Brother Lu Ji."
Lu Ji's eyes shone: "Second brother, haven't you forgotten me?"
Lu Yan returned his greeting with a smile: "I was already very rude if I didn't remember my dear brother last time. How dare I not remember him in my heart?"
Lu Ji said enthusiastically: "Second brother, it's a rare opportunity to meet you. I'm going to be a host today and invite my brothers and brothers to Wuzhanglou for dinner. Why don't you just go?" As he spoke, he saluted Wu Xiang: "
Mr. Wu, if you have nothing to do, please give me a favor."
Lu Yan couldn't help but frown slightly: "Wuzhanglou? I wonder what's so great about brother?" Lu Ji's family was poor, and he relied on Mrs. Lu for help. He had heard about it. Looking at Lu Ji's appearance, the clothes he wore last time, this time
Still wearing it, it shows that Lu Ji only has this set of clothes when meeting guests. He is so poor, but he still dares to invite brothers like them to eat at places like Wuzhanglou? Lu Yan definitely does not agree with this kind of embarrassment.
of behavior.
Lu Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, the second brother looks down on me? Is it possible that if there is no big event, we can't invite the brothers to have a casual meal?"
Lu Yan said with a smile: "That's not true. I just feel that we are all members of my own family. I can just find a quiet place to sit and talk about love."
Lu Ji pretended to be angry: "Look! Are you looking down on me?"
Wu Xiang smiled slightly: "I haven't been to Wuzhang Tower for a long time. Since my brother has such a heart, how can I refuse to go?"
Lu Ji happily said: "Then I will go over and invite the others." After saying this, he quickly went towards the other children of the Lin, Lu, and Wu families, and bowed to each other one by one.
Lu Yan then asked Lu Jing: "What is he going to do? Inviting so many people, the seats in Wuzhanglou are precious..."
Just as Lu Jing was about to speak, Wu Xiang said: "You just eat carrots and worry about nothing. It's not you who spends the money. You also reminded him that he is willing to spend the money to do anything for you. If you stop him, he will
I also blame you for looking down on him. Give him a good meal and he will know how powerful you are."
Lu Jing smiled and said: "That's right. What's more, he has something serious to ask of his second brother."
Lu Yanqi asked: "What's the matter? Just tell me what he wants me to do. I won't stop helping him just because he doesn't invite me to dinner."
Lu Jing whispered: "He wants to ask for a favor from his second brother and let him take care of Zhuangzi for his second sister-in-law."
Lu Yan couldn't help but frown: "He?"
Lu Jing looked at him hurriedly and said, "I told him he couldn't do it, but he must have said he could do it. With such a large area of land, he has never farmed before, so how can he know?"
Lu Yan agreed: "So much land is no joke."
Lu Jing endured it, but couldn't bear it anymore: "But he said that he did not plant the land, but the tenants planted it. He took care of the farm tools and cattle for his second sister-in-law, distributed seeds, and inspected them every day to prevent them from being too lazy to eat.
It would be fine if he just left the land uncultivated. I thought about it, so I brought him over."
Lu Yan shook his head: "No, this matter is not that simple. Even if he can succeed, we have already hired the head of the village, and we cannot suddenly replace him without breaking his promise. If you ask him to come over, I will not eat this meal."
"
Lu Jing was worried: "How can one person manage such a wide area of land? Brother, a little leakage between your fingers is enough for his family to drink snacks. We are all brothers, don't hurt the harmony. He has already invited
You are the guest of honor, and if you suddenly say you are not going, isn’t that a slap in his face?"
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and said: "In that case, let's all go, I'll treat you. You should also talk to him in private. This matter is definitely not done. Tell him not to say it out loud, and don't think about beating around the bush.
I beg you, second sister-in-law, to save your second sister-in-law from being embarrassed and making everyone lose face."
Lu Jing refused to give up: "Second brother, we also know about Mazhuangtou. He earns a lot of wages, but he is still an outsider with no guarantee. How can you just let him take care of Zhuangzi? At least Lu Ji's surname is Lu, right?"
You don’t believe him but you believe an outsider, why are you so heartless?”
Is he heartless? Lu Yan raised his eyes to look at Lu Jing, his eyes were like paint, and he said nothing. Lu Jing felt guilty, and he said softly: "That's not what I meant, it's just that his family is poor, and everyone can help.
Second brother, this will chill people’s hearts.”
Lu Yan suddenly sneered: "Third brother, if you are not ruthless, why don't you let him work as a helper in the farm of the second aunt and the elder sister-in-law?"
