Chapter 90 I Love Gold
In the next few days, Lu Yuzhu began to stuff various gifts in front of the shopkeeper of Jixiang Shop.
The shopkeeper was annoyed for several days and finally complained to Lu Shengcai.
Only then did Lu Shengcai know that her daughter had done such a thing. Very annoyed.
I was a bit worried about losing face, so I stayed with the shopkeeper and said a lot of good things. Fortunately, the other party didn't want to make it public, otherwise it would be difficult for Lu Yuzhu to propose marriage in the town.
When Lu Shengcai got home, he went crazy. How could he, a small grocery store, have access to the doors of wealthy families in the county?
Lu Yuzhu was scolded, but she couldn't listen. She looked unconvinced and said, "Slow down and marry a wife. Why can't our family get there?"
Lu Shengcai was so angry that he turned around and looked for some expert advice. Wu was hugging him tightly.
After signaling Lu Yuzhu to step back with his eyes, he comforted Lu Shengcai: "There is nothing wrong with my child wanting to marry into a high-ranking family. What's wrong with her having ideas and wanting to fight for it? Who doesn't want to live a good life? If I hadn't climbed up the ladder in the first place, Can you live a good life now? How many children can you have?"
Lu Shengcai choked.
Can the child say she is at fault for wanting to live a good life? But can Wu's situation be the same as Yuzhu's? Thinking about it, it seems to be no different. He also had a wife back then.
Seeing that Lu Shengcai had calmed down, Mrs. Wu added, "She is still young, and she doesn't know the relationship. She just thought that her sister-in-law knew him, so she wanted to ask her sister-in-law to help spread the word, but she didn't know that Mr. Su refused her." , she had no choice but to find his shopkeeper.
Lu Shengcai was stunned: "Does the Bo Cheng family know him?"
"I guess we know each other. I heard that Yuzhu said that she and Yueru went to buy pastries and saw them coming out of the backyard together. Later, when the young master's family came to our town, he didn't look for anyone else, so he met someone from Bo Cheng's family."
And this? How could the Bo Cheng family know the young master of Ji Xiang Pu?
The other party has a higher family status, so there should be no connection between the two.
"Did Yuzhu see it wrong?"
Mrs. Wu slapped Lu Shengcai hard: "It's not like she was the only one who saw the clear sky and white sun. It was right at the door of the shop. How could she have seen it wrong?"
Lu Shengcai forgot about Lu Yuzhu and was led astray by Wu.
When Su Qingyu came back in the evening, the couple would wait for her in the main room.
"I have met Miao, the shopkeeper of Jixiang Shop, several times. Bo Cheng took me to buy pastries at her house several times and told me the origin of Jixiang Shop..."
"Why did Bo Cheng tell you the origin of Jixiang Pu?" Wu asked.
Su Qingyao glanced at her and said calmly: "Bo Cheng didn't just tell me about his family. He told me about all the shops in the town, what their origins were, and which shop was upright. Before he left, They explained everything one by one. For example, in Qian Yueru's father's cloth shop, he told me that the shopkeeper Qian was henpecked and had given birth to several daughters but no son. He often went out to drink in depression and secretly hid it from his wife... …”
Lu Shengcai thought of Lu Bocheng. His son really knew every nook and cranny in the town.
"Bo Cheng must be worried and wants to explain something to you."
Su Qingyu nodded: "Yes, he was whispering in my ear. He said that Jixiang's shop is located across the door from our house, and we have been neighbors for many years, so he took me there to meet shopkeeper Miao. Later I pointed out that she There were some defects in the pastries, so when Shaodong came, she introduced them to me. That’s all.”
Lu Shengcai nodded. He said that the Xu family was one of the largest families in the county, how could the Bo Cheng family know each other?
He waved his hand and asked Su Qingyu to go down.
Turning around, she saw Mrs. Wu staring at Su Qingyu's back and said loudly: "Yuzhu has no respect for her sister-in-law at all. You have to talk to her properly. Bo Cheng is not here, and we can't let the Bo Cheng family live in this home without any respect." comfortable."
"Yes. I will tell her carefully." Wu looked back.
Then I heard Lu Shengcai say: "Hurry up and look after Yuzhu's marriage! She is ignorant, so you have to understand. If you can't find it, I will make an appointment for her then."
Wu quickly said: "Don't worry, I am her mother, how can I not worry about it."
On the other side, Su Qingyu returned to the room and fell on the bed, her spirits waning.
She always felt that she couldn't fit in with this family. The man who connected her to this family was gone, leaving her alone. Her mother-in-law was not a close relative, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law did not treat her as their elder sister-in-law, and her father-in-law could not say a few words to her for several days.
This home is just like an inn.
Su Qingyu patted the large bed. It was a waste to sleep on this bed alone. I don’t know where that person is now. You have to fight for some energy, don't give up so quickly, at least get to see the child. Su Qingyu touched her belly and fell asleep in a daze.
At this moment, the person she was thinking about was dividing the spoils with several people under her command.
After autumn, the camp took all the new recruits out to practice and perform some small tasks. No matter how much you practice, it is never as good as actual combat. A knife must be sharpened to be effective, and since you become a soldier, you must see blood.
Because Lu Bocheng had some kung fu skills, a smart mind, and a good sense of maneuver, he was entrusted with the important task of burning the opponent's food and grass.
In the middle of the night, he took four of his men, all wrapped in black, outside the enemy's camp until midnight. He fed all the mosquitoes until they were full. He felt that the enemy was asleep, so he went inside and set fire to it. .
After setting the fire, he didn't run away. He held his cat beside him and prepared to pick up some other achievements.
Later, I saw a large tent, and the people inside jumped out. Seeing that it was the boss, they quietly entered the tent. After searching for a long time in the tent, I found no drawings or letters, so I was so angry that I set a fire again.
Before leaving, he also took the valuables in the tent.
After returning, he handed them in as usual. But there was an unwritten rule in the camp that whoever found the gold and silver spoils would own them.
Lü Bocheng was a new soldier and didn't dare to put them in his own pocket, so he handed them all in. Later, a dagger and a tiger skin were kept by his superiors, and the gold and silver were returned to him.
Lü Bocheng didn't eat alone, so he took the four soldiers under him to divide the spoils.
"This jade ring is good. If the sergeant doesn't want it, I will take it!"
Goudan grabbed it in his hand and rubbed it on his clothes again and again. He didn't understand the water head, but he thought it was green and more beautiful than all the jade he had seen.
"Take it." Lü Bocheng didn't care at all, just picked up a few gold ingots and put them in his arms.
The spoils were divided soon.
"Sergeant, why do you always only take gold ingots? Aren't pearls and jade more valuable than gold ingots?"
"Yes, my pearl is blue, I think it will be very valuable."
Everyone doesn't understand why Sergeant only takes gold every time when he has made greater contributions than them. Is there any function of gold that they don't know about? Can it make people immortal? Should we also grab gold next time?
Seeing Goudan's eyes rolling around and his face full of doubts, Lu Bocheng knew what he was thinking! He slapped him hard: "What are you thinking about? Do you think gold can lay eggs?"
"No." Goudan shook his head honestly.
Lv Bocheng just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard him say: "I wonder if it can make people immortal. Otherwise, why does Sergeant only take gold every time."
"Fuck your immortality!" Lu Bocheng leaned over and wanted to hit him, but he dodged.
"What else? You don't want jade, but you pick up gold."
"What's so good about jade? My wife doesn't like it."
"Ah? So it's my sister-in-law who likes gold?"
"Yes." Lu Bocheng touched the pieces of gold again and again.
"Then we will leave all the gold we find to the sergeant."
"Yes. Leave it all to the sergeant."
"Okay. Leave all the gold to me, and the rest to you."
From then on, everyone in the camp knew that Lu Bocheng's wife liked gold, and people often brought gold to him to exchange for other spoils. His superiors also rewarded him with gold.
Lu Bocheng smiled as he counted the gold in the pit, and his mouth widened as he thought of his wife's happy look when she got the gold.
It's a pity that Su Qingmei didn't know. If she knew, she would have to give him two words: Not really! And an extra roll of the eyes.
