Chapter 234 The situation of the Lou family is very different from that in the original play
Lou Jingzhai followed Duan Hongxuan's suggestion and basically fired all the servants at home. But now that Mrs. Lou suddenly became pregnant again, Lou Jingzhai wanted to invite Aunt Liu, who had a good relationship with the Lou family, back to take care of his pregnant wife.
So I consulted Duan Hongxuan for his opinion.
Duan Hongxuan thought about it and felt that it was nothing.
Originally, Duan Hongxuan felt that the Lou family was too high-profile. They were already known as Lou Bancheng, and the family still hired so many servants. It was indeed a bit too conspicuous in this era. If you do this, you don't know how many people are watching secretly.
He, Lou Bancheng, wants to mess with him!
Although on the surface it was because of Xu Damao's report that he joined forces with the second uncle Liu Haizhong and with the support of Deputy Factory Director Li, the Lou family was ransacked, but without the secret support and acquiescence of other people, just with these few
Can one person conquer half the city of Lou? It’s simply funny!
After all, Lou Jingzhai also contributed such a large steel rolling mill to the country, and secretly supported our army before liberation. If this was done by a few scoundrels, it would become a big joke.
Therefore, the downfall of the Lou family was more a result of the tacit approval of a higher level.
In the original drama, the Lou family ended up losing most of their property and being confiscated, and the family fled to Hong Kong City overnight.
If it weren't for Silly Pillar, the Lou family would have died in prison without even a chance to escape.
It was precisely because of the tragic ending of the Lou family in the original play that Duan Hongxuan suggested early on that Lou Jingzhai should learn to keep a low profile and not be so public.
But now the situation is different. With Duan Hongxuan's suggestions and analysis, the Lou family began to keep a low profile early on, donating cars to the factory, and most of the real estate was also donated to the country in a high-profile manner, leaving only
The family's old house and the small villa where they live now have been replaced, and most of the servants employed by the family have been dismissed, which has left a good impression on the Lou family in the country.
You can't move those real estate properties, and no one will buy them even if you sell them. The only buyer is the government. But the country is in a difficult time at this time, and there is a shortage of money everywhere. How can you have the money to buy your Lou family's real estate? And
It will also leave the impression of a greedy capitalist. If there is any trouble, if you don't deal with it, who will Lou Bancheng deal with?
This is exactly what happened to Lou Bancheng in the original drama!
Now with Duan Hongxuan's guidance, Lou Jingzhai is not a fool. He immediately realized the crux of the problem and immediately acted boldly.
As a result, not only does he have a good impression in the eyes of the country, but he also actively allows Lou Jingzhai to continue using the car, even though the car is considered a public asset of the steel rolling mill.
At least the current Lou Jingzhai is by no means someone like Xu Damao, Deputy Director Li, etc. who can be easily manipulated.
Therefore, Duan Hongxuan feels that the situation is completely different now, and it would not be a big problem to invite Aunt Liu back again.
Lou Jingzhai was so happy when he received Duan Hongxuan's affirmative reply that he decided to invite Aunt Liu back without telling his wife in advance so as to give her a surprise.
Soon, the kitchen informed that it was time to start dinner.
Lou Jingzhai was about to go upstairs to call his wife and daughter, but He Yuyu stopped him with a wink, and he quickly ran upstairs to call someone.
When He Yuyu and the Lou family's mother and daughter came to the dining room, Duan Hongxuan took the initiative to say hello: "Hello Aunt Tan, hello Sister Xiao'e!"
"Thank you, Hongxuan!" Lou's mother said hello to Duan Hongxuan, still a little embarrassed.
Lou Xiao'e, however, straightened her face, looked at Duan Hongxuan, and turned to ask Lou's mother: "Mom, who is this little boy, and why is he in our house?"
When Duan Hongxuan heard this, there was a black line on one end, and He Yuyu covered his mouth and snickered beside him.
Lou's mother slapped Lou Xiao'e angrily: "You girl, you bully Hongxuan as soon as we meet! At least Hongxuan still calls you sister!"
Lou Jingzhai was happy to see his daughter and Duan Hongxuan laughing and joking, watching happily from the side.
Lou Xiao'e raised her head and said arrogantly: "Humph! Who dares to bully him!
I can't be someone else's sister.
There is no such thing as me as a sister in people’s eyes. Come to think of it, come over and deal with me casually. I don’t remember, I don’t know where I am having fun. I have long forgotten my useless sister.
!
I’m not surprised either. Now that I have Yu Yu, a good sister, I don’t know how many times better than that heartless brother!”
While saying this, Lou Xiao'e also deliberately held He Yuyu's hand.
He Yuyu watched Duan Hongxuan shivering from the side, covered his mouth and snickered, and did not say a few nice words to help Duan Hongxuan. Duan Hongxuan was so angry that he kept staring at He Yuyu.
Lou Jingzhai had seen enough of the show at this time, and said: "Okay, everyone, sit down, I should be hungry by now, let's eat first!"
Everyone sat down. Lou Jingzhai took out a jar of wine that Duan Hongxuan had brought today. He opened the seal and said, "As soon as the wine at home was finished, Hongxuan brought two more jars.
Let’s take out a jar today for everyone to celebrate.”
Duan Hongxuan wanted to help pour the wine, but Lou Jingzhai stopped him forcefully.
"Don't move any of you. I have to pour the wine for everyone today.
I, Lou Jingzhai, can be regarded as having a second spring. Next year, there will be one more person in our family. This is a great event for my Lou family, and it is worth celebrating!"
Lou's mother was so embarrassed that she couldn't help scolding: "What are you talking about? You are so old!
The children are all here, how can you speak so freely!"
"Hahaha, madam, it doesn't matter, there are no outsiders.
Besides, what's so shameful about this? If you keep hiding it, won't your belly be exposed in a while?
I just want others to know that I, Lou Jingzhai, am going to have a child again, hahahaha!"
As soon as she mentioned this, Lou's mother became even more ashamed: "Bah! Stop spreading the word to me everywhere. I'm already this old and I still have a big belly for others to see. I'm so embarrassed!
"I just remembered that I forgot to tell my uncle!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This kind of happy event must be known to my uncle no matter what, so that he can be happy too!
I'll go to my uncle's house in person tomorrow and tell him, and I can also extort some good wine from him!
Hahaha!"
Lou's mother said angrily: "You are so startled that you want to scare people to death!"
"Ah! I'm sorry, madam, it's all my fault, but don't scare the child in your belly!
Oops! Eat quickly, you can't go hungry, you are two people now!" Lou Jingzhai was obviously a little too excited today.
"Shut up, can you please stop mentioning this about me!" Lou's mother blushed and blamed Lou Jingzhai.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention it.
Come, let's raise a toast to..." At this point, Lou Jingzhai couldn't help but look at Lou's mother, and found that his wife was glaring at him fiercely. Lou Jingzhai was a little timid, so he quickly changed his words: "For the happy event of the family, and...
Welcome Hongxuan and Yuyu to our home!
Come, let’s have a drink together.
By the way, Hongxuan, is your Aunt Tan okay if she has a glass of wine?"
Although Lou's mother was a little shy about mentioning her pregnancy, now that Lou Jingzhai was asking about the child in her belly, Lou's mother couldn't care less and looked at Duan Hongxuan with concern.
Duan Hongxuan thought for a while: "Don't drink other wine. I can drink a small cup of this health wine every day. Not only is it harmless, but it is good for both adults and children.
But after three months, don’t drink it again until you give birth to your child!”
Mr. and Mrs. Lou nodded repeatedly, indicating that they had taken note of it.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting and laughing. Duan Hongxuan also deliberately ignored Lou Xiao'e. He only talked to Lou's father, Lou's mother and He Yuyu. He didn't even look at Lou Xiao'e, as if this person didn't exist. Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she couldn't finish the meal.
Gritting his teeth, Duan Hongxuan just pretended not to see it.
Everyone could see that Duan Hongxuan did it on purpose. Father Lou smiled and ignored her. Mother Lou looked at her daughter who just said she didn't know Duan Hongxuan. Now because Duan Hongxuan deliberately ignored her, she was so angry that she was gnashing her teeth.
, I was also secretly amused.
He Yuyu also felt that Lou Xiao'e looked like this. It was so funny, but it was hard to really laugh out loud. It was so uncomfortable to hold it in.
After the meal, everyone returned to the living room. Lou Jingzhai was about to make tea when Duan Hongxuan quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle Lou, please wait a moment and take out the bag of tea I brought today, just in time for you to taste it and see how you feel about it.
Does Aunt Tan like it?"
"Okay, let's try the tea you brought today. Since you can say that, I'm afraid your tea is not ordinary!" Lou Jingzhai curiously took the tea brought by Duan Hongxuan.
After opening it, I first smelled a refreshing fragrance, which was refreshing just by smelling it.
Look at the tea leaves again, they are all in pieces.
Duan Hongxuan introduced: "I fry this by myself. I only use three slices each time. Too much is wasted!"
"Oh? So little?" Lou Jingzhai became more and more curious.
Lou Xiao'e next to her deliberately shouted with disdain: "Hmph! Stingy, stingy, just like people, not even willing to put a few extra tea leaves in when making tea, stingy!"
Everyone was amused by Lou Xiao'e, and Lou's mother comforted her humorously: "Okay, since Hongxuan said that, he must have a reason.
Let’s wait until the tea is brewed and tasted!”
Duan Hongxuan nodded in an exaggerated manner on purpose: "Look, she comes from a family that is the heir of Tan's cuisine. She is worthy of being a lady. Aunt Tan is very knowledgeable!"
As he said that, he shook his head with pretense of regret: "Unlike some people who belittle themselves before they see the facts. How can you act like a lady!"
As soon as Duan Hongxuan finished speaking, Lou's mother stretched out her hand and hit Duan Hongxuan in an exaggerated manner: "You can't just say a few words, don't grab the handle here and never let go!
Looking at Aunt Tan’s face, just shut up! After all, Ezi is still my precious daughter, how can I let you bully me like this!
Our Ezi is so sensible. Whoever sees him doesn't praise him for being a lady of the world? How could he be like this if he wasn't so angry with you!"
After hearing what Lou's mother said, Lou Xiao'e glared at Duan Hongxuan and snorted proudly.
Duan Hongxuan was deliberately scolded by Lou's mother. Looking at Lou's mother's eyes, and then looking at Lou Xiao'e's proud look, he looked like a little rooster who had won a fight, with his head held high, not to mention his swagger.
.
Duan Hongxuan also began to cooperate with Lou's mother, and his face fell: "Oh! After all, they are mother and daughter, what can I do! Aunt Tan, whatever you say is what it is!
Come on, I’ll just shut up!”
Lou Jingzhai ignored the people's banter and followed Duan Hongxuan's instructions, eagerly took out three tea leaves and put them into the teapot, and then started brewing.
At this time, there was no so-called brewing method of Kung Fu tea in the north. Generally, when drinking tea to entertain guests, you usually brew it directly in a small tureen, or use a teapot. After brewing, pour it out to drink, and then continue to pour water into the teapot.
Bubble.
The former is generally used to treat guests politely, while the latter is mostly used by yourself or your family members to drink tea.
Lou Jingzhai began to distribute tea to everyone. As soon as the tea was poured out, a refreshing and light fragrance hit his nostrils.
Everyone eagerly picked up the tea cups in front of them, first smelled the aroma of the tea, and then took a small sip.
As the tea was taken down, I felt a warm current explode in my stomach and quickly flowed throughout my body. All the cells in my body seemed to be cheering. There was also a warm current rushing straight into the brain, which made people feel refreshed and their brain seemed to be awake.
After a few minutes, all the fatigue was gone, and my mouth felt filled with the fragrance of tea.
"Good tea!" Lou Jingzhai couldn't help but exclaim loudly. "What a good tea! I have been drinking tea for half my life, and I have tasted all kinds of good tea, but compared with your tea from Hongxuan, there is simply a difference between heaven and earth! <
/p>
Hongxuan, you are really more and more amazing, I really don’t know how many good things you still have in your hands!"
Duan Hongxuan smiled lightly, "Uncle Lou, this method of frying tea leaves was also passed down to me by my master. It is very different from the traditional method of frying tea leaves. The cost of frying alone is extremely high, it is not easy to fry, and it is also difficult to fry.
You have to choose a good tea green.
I’m giving it to you today. You can take three tablets every day, which will be enough for you for more than half a year.”
"How long can these three tea leaves be brewed?" Lou Jingzhai asked impatiently.
"This method of brewing can probably last for five or six times!" Duan Hongxuan explained to Lou Jingzhai, "Every time you heat the water, just wait for about two minutes.
If you took two baths in the morning and you have other things to do, it doesn’t matter, just leave it alone and come back to continue bathing when you are done, even if you come back in the afternoon and continue bathing!”
"Okay, okay! Hahaha, this is a treasure, I have to put it away!" Lou Jingzhai quickly rewrapped the tea leaves on the table and put them away, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them.
Seeing this, Lou's mother said angrily: "De Xing! It's like someone wants to rob you!
Go back and share some of this good tea with my brother, so that he can enjoy it too, don’t just worry about yourself!"
Lou Jingzhai's movement to collect the tea immediately froze, and he looked at Lou's mother reluctantly, "Madam, let's just forget about this tea, it's only this much in total, there's not enough to share with my uncle!
At worst, can I take one of the two jars of wine that Hongxuan brought today to my uncle?"
Lou's mother snorted coldly: "Huh! Of course I have to bring a jar of wine to my brother, and I have to share some of the tea with him. Don't be so petty!"
When Lou Jingzhai heard this, he immediately had a bitter look on his face, "Madam! You, you are simply killing me!
Forget it, just divide it! Alas!
I feel so sad!"
Seeing Lou Jingzhai's miserable look of reluctance, Lou Xiao'e suddenly said: "Dad, it doesn't matter. Just give the tea to your uncle and ask someone to get you some more later!"
As he said that, he glanced at Duan Hongxuan proudly, "Anyway, someone made this tea by himself. Let him get another eight or nine kilograms for you to drink slowly. I also like this tea, so I want it too.
