Chapter 681

People in the world care about family status, especially those old ladies from aristocratic families. He was worried that they would look down on sister Xiu and make her feel wronged.

Mr. Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, first help me send the copper tripod to Zhuangzi."

Mr. Xia looks down on Luo Wu very much, but he likes getting along with Luo Wu very much.

It is very fulfilling for him to crush this young man's self-esteem a little bit, and turn this hopeful and passionate youth into a decadent and inferior waste.

Luo Wu had no choice but to agree to send a bronze tripod to Mr. Xia.

The copper tripod is very big, at least more than 200 catties. Such a copper tripod poured with auspicious clouds and fairy beasts cannot be bought without a few hundred taels of silver.

Luo Wu knew that this thing was valuable, so he was very careful when moving it, for fear that he might break other people's things.

Mr. Xia laughed beside him and said, "Brother Wu, you don't have to be so careful, it's just a copper tripod worth a thousand taels of silver. I didn't want to buy it at first, but today, during the winter solstice, Madam wants to follow the ancient etiquette and have a meal on a copper tripod." Venison, I just bought a new copper tripod."

In a word, Luo Wu's footsteps were almost unsteady, and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, turned around, and with a shoulder support, he put the bronze tripod on the horse's back.

The weather was very cold, but he broke out in a cold sweat... One thousand taels of silver to buy a copper tripod just to eat meat?

It has been almost a year, and he still can't understand the life of this kind of aristocratic family... Is it really the difference between cloud and mud?

Mr. Xia rushed a few steps over to support Luo Wu, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Brother Wu? But you don't feel well?"

Luo Wu shook his head and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he took out the rope and tied the bronze tripod to the horse's body, then took the horse's rein and left first.

Mr. Xia said to the coachman: "Untie the mule and lead it back, and leave the cart here."

The coachman said: "Master, country people are greedy for petty gain, what if the car is taken away?"

Mr. Xia said boldly: "It's just a car frame, less than 30 taels of silver. If you lose it, you lose it. It's serious to go back to Zhuangzi for the festival."

"Hey." The coachman responded, untied the mule, and led the mule to follow Luo Wu.

Listening to what they said, Luo Wu lowered his head even more, and threw away the 30 taels of silver, which was his salary for nearly a year.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at Xia's Zhuangzi.

Xia's Zhuangzi is very big, very different from the Zhuangzi that Luo Wu thought, there is no farmland in this Zhuangzi, there are only lotus ponds, creeks, and water pavilions.

In spring, summer and autumn, the Zhuangzi will be full of flowers of various colors, all of which are rare varieties. There is a kind of orchid that can sell for hundreds of taels of silver in a pot, which is really expensive.He was always careful when walking in the village, for fear that he would not be able to pay for the damage to a flower of Xia's family.

In the middle of Zhuangzi, there is a seven-entry mansion with carved beams and painted buildings, and precious jade vases are placed in the flower hall for guests.

When Luo Wu came for the first time, he almost broke the sapphire vase in the flower hall, which frightened him a lot, but Mrs. Xia said that it was just a decoration worth less than a thousand taels of silver, and it was broken as soon as it was broken.

He never knew that the Xia family was so rich, and Mr. Xia said that their Xia family was just a low-ranking family among the aristocratic families. Liancheng.

At that time, Luo Wulian didn't even know what an antique was, and only rich people could understand these words.

"Brother Wu is here?" Mrs. Xia greeted her, supported by two big maids on the left and right, followed by four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, and the old mother of the Xia family.

Even if Luo Wu had seen this kind of ostentation once, he was still shocked when he saw it now, and lowered his head even lower.

When she came to this village for the first time, Mrs. Xia once pointed to the maids behind her and said: "Sister Xiu has a top-notch appearance and an excellent temperament. She should be the wife of a family and live surrounded by maids."

She also asked him: "You don't want sister Xiu to live a life of farming, do you? How could she live such a life? Sister Xiu is so outstanding, if she lives a life of farming, she is really spoiling her."

Luo Wu doesn't want to spoil sister Xiu, sister Xiu should live the life of a rich young wife, get up every day with a maid to freshen up, don't have to go to the kitchen to make breakfast by herself, just go to greet the elders, and when she comes back, she will treat her husband as an official Send it out of the house, and you can rest.

After having a child, I will teach the child at home and talk with the child. When I am tired, there will be a nanny and many maids to take care of the child, and she does not need to do it herself.

She had only to sit in the splendid spacious room, tease the children now and then, and sew, and the days were gone.

Mrs. Xia described to him the days when Sister Xiu married the son of the family. Those days were so beautiful that he wanted to find a place to drill down.

He can't give sister Xiu such a life... He is just a farmer, a government servant, working hard every day on errands, often unable to leave work on time, and unable to take care of sister Xiu.

During the scorching heat, he is always sweating profusely, and the smell of sweat is so heavy that people can cover their noses. How can he be worthy of sister Xiu?

He has always been a little loach in the mud, but sister Xiu is a crane flying in the sky.

"Mrs. Xia." Luo Wu's mouth was full of bitterness. After calling Mrs. Xia, he untied the rope that tied the copper tripod, and moved the tripod down to the flower hall: "The tripod of Madam's house is here for you. .”

After saying that, he turned and looked at Mr. Xia who was walking slowly: "The bronze tripod has been delivered, can you tell Luo about the character of that Jiangnan family?"

Mr. Xia smiled, and greeted Luo Wu into the flower hall: "You sit down first."

Then he said to Mrs. Xia: "Let the servants bring the silver charcoal, then cut up the venison and serve it up. While Brother Wu is here, let's have a meal of grilled venison together."

"Yes, my concubine will make arrangements now." Mrs. Xia didn't leave at all, but turned her head and said to the big maid next to her: "I heard you, hurry up and do it. Within a quarter of an hour, the venison, good wine , side dishes are served."

"Yes, servant girl obeys." The big maidservant responded, and ordered the two young maidservants, and the three of them hurried to work.

Luo Wu looked at it, and his heart became more and more humble... This is the style of the aristocratic family. The wives don't have to do anything, they just need to order the maids. to make.

If sister Xiu followed him, she would have to do all the housework like those little maids.

She should be living the leisurely life of a rich wife, how can she cook for their family in the kitchen?Even going to feed pigs and chickens?

Thinking of this, Luo Wu felt that he was not worthy, and felt that he wanted to marry sister Xiu to harm her.

Madam Xia sat down after ordering the maids, and said to Luo Wu: "Brother Wu, do you want to know about the Zhan family?"

Luo Wu hurriedly nodded and asked, "Is that the Zhan family who came to ask sister Xiu's marriage?"

Mrs. Xia nodded, but she said very smartly: "Besides the Zhan family, there are two old ladies from the capital who think that sister Xiu is very good, and want to propose marriage for her grandson. It's just that the Zhan family is your uncle Xia. This time, I came to visit your Uncle Xia by chance, and after learning about Miss Xiu’s son, I felt that she had the demeanor of a noble girl, so I wanted to ask her to be my wife.”
