Chapter 150: Let's do business (thousand-character chapter)(1/2)

There was no other way, the Zhao family could be considered superior to the Lu family, and Mrs. Zhao endured it.

After Lu Wulang got married and the Lu family finally separated, Mrs. Zhao began to repair the Zhao family's dowry house in Piling City.

As a result, the families were separated but not separated. When the grandson's wife gave birth to a child, the child's wet nurse had to live in a separate room. There was not even a separate room for confinement. Lu Silang lived in the front yard for more than a month.

Mr. Zhao went to Mr. Lu and said that he wanted to live in a separate house and not give the Lu family a house. He would have a son-in-law and half a son. The Zhao family would naturally make preparations.

Mr. Lu refused without thinking, saying that dividing the government would only happen after his death.

Just like that, Liangzi formed a friendship again. When we meet later, we eat well and live well.

The so-called tough one is afraid of being cross. Mr. Lu is the hard one, and Mr. Zhao is the cross one. The two of them can never talk to each other, but they can always talk for a while.

Mr. Lu approached Mr. Zhao and said, "We are going to separate the houses. I will have more space in the future."

Mr. Zhao paused and looked at Mr. Lu, "Didn't you say that unless...why do you suddenly want to divide the house again? What do you have..."

As this person is getting older, death and illness are a bit taboo.

Mr. Lu laughed heartily, "You will live ninety-nine, and I will live a hundred. How can I survive you if you are not in good health?"

"Then what house do you belong to? I know a master, please ask him to perform two rituals for you?" Mr. Zhao approached Mr. Lu and said.

The previous dynasty perished because it respected Taoism, so some Taoist priests claimed to be true people and had the elixir of immortality. In the end, the entire court was controlled by the so-called true people.

So when we arrived in Dayong, the first rule of Emperor Gaozu was not to respect Taoism. Although it was not forbidden, the officials did not respect it, and how many people in the community dared to openly associate with Taoist priests and masters.

Mr. Lu glanced sideways at Mr. Zhao, "Don't you have anything else in your mind?"

"Yes, I want to see my great-grandson."

Mr. Lu didn't want to talk to him anymore, "Sanlang and Silang want to serve as officials, so they proposed a separate government."

Seeing Mr. Lu's face full of anger, Mr. Zhao was happy.

"Hahahaha, you can't, but you can't control it. Sure enough, your children and grandchildren are here to collect debts."

After saying that, he came closer to Mr. Lu and said, "Tell me in detail, what did my good son-in-law tell you to make you so angry?"

"It would be better if he told me himself. He asked Erlang to tell me."

Mrs. Zhao also knew about Mr. Lu, and she often saw him when traveling outside. He had more than enough integrity but not enough scheming. Fortunately, his son was a man of many tricks. With a combined total of 800 tricks, they managed to keep the business going.

If he has eight hundred tricks, then Mr. Lu is not bad at all, but he is totally wrong.

Lu Erye’s son, Lu Sanlang, has eight hundred and one, and Lu Erye is the one holding back.

Mr. Zhao turned around and said to the people behind him: "You go to Nannan's courtyard first, and I'll go and see the mud your Uncle Lu has been playing with recently."

Mr. Lu glared, "That's a clay sculpture, why are you playing with clay?"

"No matter what kind of sculpture you make, it looks like a pile of mud to me. I brought you a basket of sand and mud from Yixing."

As soon as he heard about Yixing sand and mud, Mr. Lu stopped talking. Just play with mud. Bring him some Yixing sand and mud every time he comes. You can say whatever you want.

The two old men went to the study room in the front yard, and Mrs. Zhao took the Zhao family to the backyard.

Mrs. Zhao kept pulling Lu Fenghe without saying a word, just holding Lu Fenghe tightly.

Mrs. Zhao was not a rich lady at first, she was just a silk reeling girl, but her family opened a workshop in the county, specializing in collecting silkworm cocoons and reeling them into silk.

Mrs. Zhao has been cooking cocoons and reeling silk since she was a child. Although she stopped doing it when she married into the Zhao family, she did it so much when she was young that her knuckles became thick and deformed. Even the decades of pampering can't change her bone appearance.

Although Mrs. Zhao's hands were soft and dry, they were larger than those of ordinary women. Lu Fenghe felt that her grandmother wanted to wrap her hands.

Naturally, Zhao Mingxin and his wife also came, but they just followed behind. It turned out that when they came to the Lu family, Huang Wenshan was still able to step forward based on her relationship with Lu Fenghe. Now even the unmarried Si Lang of Mr. Zhao's family is walking in front of her.

Zhao Mingxin didn't even want to answer Huang Wenshan and stopped talking to his cousin all the way.

Even if Huang Wenshan's veil is torn, it won't help.

When I walked to the door of the backyard, Mrs. Lu and Qin Ling'er were already standing by the flower wall waiting.

The atmosphere between the two old ladies was much more harmonious than that between the two old ladies. The younger generation of the Zhao family met with Old Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhao Lai refused Old Mrs. Lu's invitation to have tea in the yard.

"Forgive me, mother-in-law, but I have to rush to see my great-granddaughter. Why can't we old sisters talk to each other?"

Mrs. Lu just mentioned it politely and was not upset when she was rejected.

"Let's go with that. I don't know what to do. Sister Zhen is really lovely. If my old arms and legs weren't afraid of something happening, I would have hugged her and kept her here."

Mrs. Zhao stroked her hands and said, "Then I have to hurry up and take my great-granddaughter away. I won't let you go easy."

After a few words of banter, the two parties said goodbye under the flower wall.

Mrs. Zhao told Qin Ling'er, "Balang's wife, please send your grandmother back alive."

Qin Ling'er helped Mrs. Lu, "Grandma, let's go quickly. I'll take you back as soon as possible."

Mrs. Lu glared at her, "Why, are you thinking about the good things your grandma brought?"

"No, if I go back late and my fourth sister-in-law and He Niang share the money, I will suffer a big loss. Don't worry, grandma, you will be indispensable."

The grandfather and grandson went back talking and laughing.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the backs of the two of them and said to Mrs. Zhao, "You are a lucky man, and both of your daughters-in-law are also well-behaved."

This statement is quite insinuation.

Ms. Zhao quickly changed the subject and asked Mrs. Zhao, "Mom, how long do you plan to come here this time?"

"I, your second sister-in-law, and several nieces-in-law will stay with you in Piling for a few more days until He Niang's full moon ceremony has passed. As for your father, your brother, your younger brother, and your nephews, just go with them and go get busy if you have anything to do."

Then he also lived in Piling."

Mrs. Zhao looked at her nieces and nephews and said, "I saw that you didn't take care of your children. I thought you would change your mind in a day or two."

Mrs. Zhao took her sister-in-law and said, "The child is very noisy. As you know, we have also found a few wives in our house. It took too long to get here. We will bring him over in two days to relax for a few days."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao said nothing more. All the people went into battle together, and Da Lang, who had been running around for many years, came over. He saw that he was here to do business.

Fortunately, Lu Fenghe's Yunhua Building was right behind Zhao's courtyard, and he couldn't walk a few steps. The weather was warm in the middle of the afternoon and there was no wind in the courtyard. Lu Fenghe simply asked the wet nurse to carry Sister Zhen down.

Sister Zhen has been traveling from south to north at a young age and is used to seeing people. Several elders of the Zhao family did not cry when they hugged her. They also pulled one's ears and tugged on that's bead chain, making everyone laugh.

She also grinned and drooled on her face.

After seeing the child, he stuffed gold, silver, jade, and even a few silver notes into the swaddling clothes.

Lu Fenghe pulled Zhao Silang and said, "Cousin, what are you doing? You might as well give the bank note to me directly if you give it to Sister Zhen. If she rubs it into pieces and makes it wet with saliva, it will be just a piece of waste paper."

Lu Fenghe said as he was about to stuff the banknote back.

Zhao Silang refused to accept it no matter what, "Cousin, you already said, why don't I give it to you, you can just keep it. I originally wanted my mother to help me choose a gift for the meeting, but I felt that what I chose for me didn't reflect my feelings.

, but I really don’t know what this little baby likes, so why not just give me the banknote, cousin, you can buy something for your niece."

Lu Fenghe had really never heard of this kind of remarks. It was so perfunctory to ask someone to help pick out a gift, but why not just give him a banknote?

Mrs. Zhao Er also advised Lu Fenghe, "Take it, take it. Whatever you gave to your niece as a meeting gift, you will give it to her in the future. From now on, ask Sister Zhen to ask her fourth uncle for banknotes."

Lu Fenghe knew that the children of the Zhao family were not short of money. Even Zhao Mingxin, who did not do business, had private property. If the family had a large business, he would invest in it. Zhao Silang had not yet gotten married, and his private treasury was even richer.

Lu Fenghe stopped refusing and accepted it, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, when Sister Zhen becomes the governor, Sister will definitely tell her that Fourth Uncle is a rich man, and the gift he gave as a meeting gift was a banknote. If there is a shortage of flowers in the future, he will use it."

Go find your fourth uncle."

After Lu Fenghe said this, the elders were overjoyed.

But Lu Fenghe couldn't help but laugh. In his previous life, his fourth cousin was really what Lu Fenghe said. In addition to the dowry Lu Fenghe gave to Sister Zhen, his fourth cousin also gave half of the family's belongings to Sister Zhen.

Her dowry was several percent thicker.

My fourth cousin's marriage has never been smooth sailing. The girl he was engaged to be married to fell ill with cold the winter before last and had a cough all winter long. When he saw that spring was coming and the weather was getting warmer, he died.

In my previous life, I would have made a choice for a second girl tomorrow spring, but this girl had an affair with my client, and was even pregnant, so the marriage had to be abandoned.

In this regard, Zhao Silang has always been quite resistant to marriage, and his family did not dare to force him too much. It was not until he was in his thirties that he fell in love with a girl. That's all. He also had difficulties in having children.

He was in his early forties and still had no children. Even his wife tried to persuade him to take a concubine, but he had no idea at all. He felt that this was fate. Since it was fate, he would not force it. He had no children, so he asked his nephew

Nephew is twice as good.

Lu Fenghe looked at her energetic cousin and thought that she might not be able to change the destiny of her family and country due to her limited power, but she could always help her cousin in his wasted life.

It's just that the time hasn't come yet.

After seeing Sister Zhen, the group of people returned to Zhao's courtyard. Just after sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Mr. Lu came back with his two sons and Shen Nanxun.

There are about twenty people in total. Not to mention that Zhao's courtyard is not big. Even in Bailu Garden, these twenty people can't be squeezed into the hall.

Lu Fenghe stood up and wanted to take his cousins ​​out with him to let the elders continue their conversation, but was stopped by Mrs. Zhao.

"Mother He, please sit down. If you can't sit down, just stand. Everyone is listening in the hall."

Mrs. Zhao had spoken. No one dared to go out, and no one could really stand. Mrs. Lu quickly ordered people to move stools and chairs.

"Uncle, go take a look at your father's yard in the front yard and ask the old man to come over quickly. We'll talk about it later."

Mrs. Zhao is the only one who can talk to the old man.

Mr. Lu took Lu Silang to the front yard.

The originally harmonious atmosphere was dampened by the old lady's two words, which made everyone afraid to speak for fear of disturbing Old Madam Zhao.
