Chapter 682 Poisoning

"What does the Zhan family do? Is the family easy to get along with? Which son of the Zhan family is the one who proposed to sister Xiu? How is he? What is he doing for a living now? Maybe he can support his family?" Luo Wu asked a lot of questions, every time It hurts to ask one.

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

Mrs. Xia looked at Luo Wu's flushed eyes, she couldn't bear it, but she still said: "The Zhan family is not only a noble family, but also relatives of the emperor. One daughter is Princess Dachu. The Zhan family is a family, and everyone in the family He is well educated and reasonable, and easy to get along with. The person who proposed to sister Xiu was the second son of Zhan's parents' house. His name was Zhan Yuan, and his style name was Hengzhi. He was the youngest madman in Dachu. He wrote a poem at the literary meeting It can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, so you don’t have to worry about running out of money.”

A poem can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver?

Luo Wu was startled, and said Zhan Yuan's name again...Zhan Yuan, Hengzhi, others even have better names than him.

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 does not work all his life, he will have endless gold and silver. It is no problem to support the family."

After Luo Wu heard this, he was both happy and sad. He was happy that sister Xiuxiu was favored by a good man, but he was sad that he would never be able to marry her in this life.

Mr. Xia and his wife sang together, and then talked about how rich the Zhan family was, and how young and promising Zhan Er was. He made Luo Wu's head almost drop to his chest, and he couldn't lift it up.

In the end, Mrs. Xia sighed: "That child Hengzhi is infatuated. He likes sister Xiu very much. He swears that he will only marry sister Xiu in this life and will not take concubines."

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

The young masters of wealthy families like to take concubines. Although he hopes that sister Xiu can marry a noble son, he doesn't 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 afraid that his family would not agree, so he had already gone home first, and planned to convince his grandmother and parents first, and then let his grandmother come to propose marriage by himself, to show his respect for sister Xiu. Love is heavy."

Luo Wu was very pleasantly surprised, and kept saying: "It's good, it's good..."

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

He didn't want the Xia family couple to lower their heads hastily when they saw him crying.

At the moment of embarrassment, Xia's servants put the burnt silver charcoal into the copper tripod and carried it over, and set up two tables beside the tripod.

On one table were sliced ​​venison and fresh sauce, and on the other table were expensive food that Luo Wu had never seen before, as well as expensive wine with a clear taste.

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

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

Luo Wu was very unaccustomed to being waited upon by others, so he waved his hands and said, "Get up, I'm not hungry."

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

Looking at such a precious thing, Luo Wu felt even more ashamed. After asking about the Zhan family's affairs, he got up and said goodbye: "The younger generation will go first, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia will use it later."

Mr. Xia frowned, seeing that Luo Wu had made up his mind to go, he didn't want to keep him, but ordered his servants: "Wrap up the venison on Brother Wu's plate and bring it back to Brother Wu."

"Yes." The servant replied, wrapping the venison nimbly.

Mr. Xia took the venison wrapped by the servants and stuffed it into Luo Wu's hand: "Brother Wu, take it and count it as your salary for helping to transport the copper tripod."

Luo Wu listened, did not refuse, took the venison and left.

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

Mrs. Xia couldn't bear to say: "Husband, isn't it too vicious to do this? Brother Wu's status is not worthy of sister Xiu, but he shouldn't have such thoughts about sister Xiu, but he can give the medicine of extinction... a If a man can't be born."

Mr. Xia interrupted Mrs. Xia: "Madam is too kind. Luo Wu is just a lowly peasant boy. He should marry a peasant girl to live a life, but he has the audacity to fall in love with sister Xiu, the eldest daughter of the Lu family. Is it something he can think about? Giving him the elixir medicine is considered kind, so we should assassinate him and make him disappear, so don't come out to disgust my sister again."

He said again: "The madam also knows what the Gu family is thinking. She actually fell in love with Luo Wu and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law! We did this to stop the Gu family from doing stupid things."

Mr. Xia and his wife would look for Luo Wu and beat his self-esteem again and again, all because they knew that the Gu family wanted to recruit Luo Wu to be their son-in-law.

When their husband and wife learned about this, they were really angry. They only thought that the Gu family was crazy. How could a good girl be promised to Luo Wu?

But due to their identities, they didn't 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 dirty trick, but something happened to the Zhan family, which made the Gu family more determined to marry sister Xiu to Luo Wu.

Today's winter solstice, if Luo Wu goes home, the Gu family will definitely confront Luo Wu regardless of face and ask him for a correct sentence.

In desperation, the husband and wife had no choice but to stop Luo Wu again and hit him again. Afraid that it would be unsafe, they injected him with an anti-inferior drug in the venison.

"Luo Wu doesn't seem to like eating venison very much, what if he didn't eat that venison?" Mrs. Xia said.

Mr. Xia waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Ma'am, don't worry. After what we said just now, Luo Wu will definitely feel inferior and won't go home for the winter solstice today. As long as he doesn't go back, his relationship with the Gu family will become worse and worse." Too bad, even if he is lucky enough not to eat the venison this time, we can still find another chance to give him the elixir."

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

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

He took advantage of Luo Wu's low self-esteem, and beat Luo Wu's enthusiasm to nothingness.

Mr. Xia's prediction was right, Luo Wu was indeed hit by the Zhan family's incident, and felt extremely uncomfortable. After leaving Xia's Zhuangzi on a fast horse, he hesitated for a long time at the intersection, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the county town.

He went to his house in the county seat.

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

In the main courtyard of the back house, Luo Wu also planted an elm tree.

This is what sister Xiu wants to plant.

Sister Xiu said that after planting elm money trees, they can be picked for food when the elm money grows, which can save a lot of food.
