"What does the Zhan family do? Is the family easy to get along with? Which son of the Zhan family proposed to Sister Xiu? How is he like? What do you do for a living now? Can you support the family?" Luo Wu asked many questions in succession, each time

It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable to ask.

The girl he has liked for so many years is about to become someone else's family. Although he allows her to marry into a wealthy family, he still feels very sad.

Mrs. Xia looked at Luo Wu's red eyes and couldn't bear it, but she still said: "The Zhan family is not only a wealthy family, but also relatives of the emperor. They have a daughter who is a princess of Dachu. The Zhan family is an aristocratic family, and everyone in the family is

He is well-educated and easy to get along with. The man who asked Sister Xiu to marry him was the second son-in-law of Zhan's family. His name was Zhan Yuan and his courtesy name was Hengzhi. He was the youngest madman in Da Chu. He composed a poem at the cultural gathering.

Poems can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, so there is no need to worry about money."

Mr. Xia answered from the side: "The Zhan family is a wealthy family and has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years. Even if the second son of the Zhan family doesn't work all his life, he will have endless gold and silver, so it is no problem to support the family."

After Luo Wu heard this, he felt both happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that Sister Xiu was attracted by a good family, but sad that he would never be able to marry her in this life.

Mr. Xia and his wife sang together and talked about how rich the Zhan family was and how young and famous Zhan Er was. They talked about Luo Wu until Luo Wu's head almost dropped to his chest and he couldn't even lift it up.

Finally, Mrs. Xia sighed: "That kid Hengzhi is an infatuated man. He likes Sister Xiu very much. He swore that he would only marry Sister Xiu in his life and would not take concubines."

Luo Wu was shocked when he heard this: "Is what Madam said true?"

Young masters from wealthy families all like to have concubines. Although he hopes that Sister Xiu can marry the noble master, he does not want Sister Xiu's husband to take concubines. He is afraid that Sister Xiu will be bullied by those concubines.

Mrs. Xia said: "Of course it is true. Hengzhi was still afraid that his family would not agree, so he had gone home first. He planned to persuade his grandmother and parents to ask his grandmother to propose marriage in person to show his love for Sister Xiu.

Heavy."

Luo Wu was very surprised when he heard this, and kept saying: "That's good, that's good..."

But he should be happy, but he couldn't help but tears welling up in his eyes, and they fell to the ground with a sound.

He didn't want the Xia family and his wife to see him crying and hurriedly lowered their heads.

At the moment of embarrassment, the servants of the Xia family put the burned silver wire charcoal into the copper cauldron and carried it over. Then they set up two tables next to the copper cauldron. On one of them were sliced ​​venison and minced meat.

Sauce, there was a table with expensive food that Luo Wu had never seen before, as well as rich and fragrant expensive wine.

With a sizzling sound, the servants put the venison on the rack, grilled it slowly, and placed the roasted venison on three porcelain plates of different colors.

The three maids each carried three porcelain plates, came to Luo Wu and the others, knelt down and said, "Please use venison."

Luo Wu was not used to being served like this, so he waved his hands and said, "Get up, I'm not hungry."

Mr. Xia said: "Brother Wu has never eaten venison, right? This venison is a hundred times more valuable than beef and mutton. It is a delicacy that the nobles in the capital must eat during the winter solstice. Even if Brother Wu is not hungry, he will eat a few slices to suit the occasion."

.”

Not to mention that Luo Wu had eaten venison, he had never seen it before. Looking at such precious things, he felt even more ashamed. Seeing that he had already asked about the Zhan family, he stood up and left: "Junior

Let’s go now, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia will have a good time during the holiday.”

Mr. Xia frowned. Seeing that Luo Wu had decided to leave, he did not try to persuade him to stay. He just ordered his servants: "Wrap up the braised pork on Brother Wu's plate and bring it back to Brother Wu."

"Yes." The servant responded, wrapping the venison quickly with his hands and feet.

Mr. Xia took the venison wrapped by his servant and stuffed it into Luo Wu's hand: "Brother Wu, take it and count it as your wages for helping transport the bronze tripod."

After hearing this, Luo Wu did not refuse and left with the venison.

After Luo Wu left, the servants were sent to work, and only Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia were left in the flower hall.

Mrs. Xia said unbearably: "Husband, isn't this too cruel? Although Brother Wu's identity is not worthy of Sister Xiu, he shouldn't have such thoughts towards Sister Xiu, but he can give the ultimate heir... a

If a man cannot be born."

Mr. Xia thought about what Mrs. Xia said: "Madam, you are too kind. Luo Wu is just a humble peasant boy. He should marry a peasant girl to live his life, but he is so bold that he falls in love with Sister Xiu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

Is this what he can imagine? Giving him the ultimate heirloom would be a good idea, but we should assassinate him and make him disappear, so that he doesn’t come out to disgust me again."

Then he said: "Madam also knows what the Gu family is thinking. She actually likes this Luo Wu and wants to recruit him as her son-in-law! We do this to stop the Gu family from doing stupid things."

Mr. Xia and his wife would look for Luo Wu and attack his self-esteem again and again, all because they knew that the Gu family wanted to recruit Luo Wu as their eldest son-in-law. When the couple did this, they were really angry, and they only felt that the Gu family

If you are crazy, how can you promise a good girl to Luo Wu?

But due to their status, they did not dare to ask the Gu family to do anything, so they could only attack Luo Wu quietly.

They didn't want to poison before, after all, poisoning is a despicable method, but something went wrong with the Zhan family, which made the Gu family more determined to marry Sister Xiu to Luo Wu.

Today is the winter solstice. If Luo Wu goes home, the Gu family will definitely confront Luo Wu regardless of their face and ask him for a correct answer.

In desperation, the couple had no choice but to stop Luo Wu again and hit him again, but fearing that it would be unsafe, they gave him an infertile drug in the venison.

"Luo Wu doesn't seem to like eating venison. What if he didn't eat the venison?" Mrs. Xia said.

Mr. Xia waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry. After what we just said, Luo Wu will feel inferior and will not go home to celebrate the winter solstice today. As long as he doesn't go back, his relationship with the Gu family will get worse."

It’s getting worse. Even if he is lucky enough not to eat venison this time, we can still find an opportunity to inject him with the final drug.”

Mr. Xia picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine: "No matter what, we are the better ones today."

Although Mr. Xia lost to Gu Jinli's gangster tricks, he was still very accurate in judging people. He had long seen that Luo Wu had low self-esteem when facing Gu Jinxiu.

He took advantage of Luo Wu's inferiority and knocked Luo Wu's passion out of existence.

Mr. Xia's prediction was correct. Luo Wu was indeed shocked by what happened to the Zhan family. He felt extremely uncomfortable. After leaving Xia's Village on his fast horse, he hesitated for a long time at the intersection, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the county seat.

He went to his house in the county town.

He bought this house three years ago. It is not big, but it is very warmly decorated, much like the Gu family's house in Dafeng Village.

In the main courtyard, Luo Wu also specially planted an elm tree.

This is what Sister Xiu wants to plant.
