Chapter 196

"Okay, let's do this first." Lu Lao said, "The patriarch and the others will come later. If the brothers at our table are caught on the spot, the patriarch may skin us."

Lu Laoer and the others suddenly realized, yes, why did they forget such an important thing?Today is Lu Jia's wedding day, so people from the clan will naturally come.

They want to tear themselves apart with Lao Qi, but they can't do it at this time, and when the patriarch comes, they can't just sit here and do nothing.

At most, they can pick and choose by the side and do some innocent work, even if they stand up and help welcome guests, they can't just sit here and chat and fart.

So, they don't actually have much time to relax here.

"Yeah, it's fine for us to sit here, but when the patriarch comes, if he sees us doing nothing like this, maybe he will get angry." Lu Lao Wu said.

Boss Lu said indifferently: "What do you mean we have free time? We are here to be guests. We are willing to help out of affection, and not willing to help out is our duty. With our relationship with their family, we just sit here. People who know us will not say anything about us."

"Brother, although I agree with what you said, others don't know. Although our relationship with their family is not good, everyone knows it well, but there are also people who don't understand. If they see it, they will always They will say that we are wrong, so let's move a little bit, even if it is a good show, so as not to let others make irresponsible remarks, then they will not suffer, and we will show off." Lu Lao Wu said.

Boss Lu's expression was suffocated, he looked at Lao Wu, and then at Lao Er and the others. Various thoughts turned in his mind, and finally he had to admit that what Lu Lao Wu said was right: "Yes, let's sit here for a while. Moving, eating and drinking will always make people look more often. Others don't care whether we have a good relationship with them, they will only see us uncles sitting next to us doing nothing, just putting our heads on our shoulders It’s embarrassing for us to come here to eat and drink, and it’s embarrassing for us to talk about it. Alas, it’s really hard to be a human being.”

Then Boss Lu stood up and said to the brothers: "Let's go, let's look around, don't let people get caught up in the conversation, find some light work, remember, don't make troubles, just think about it What is it, fourth child, you must pay attention, they have a lot of family members, if someone sees you stealing chickens and dogs, then you will not be able to eat and leave, the team leader will be here soon."

Lu's fourth son was named, although he didn't take it seriously in his heart, and there was an angry expression on his face, but he had to agree: "Brother, don't worry, I know."

If there is no team leader who is not sure, he will find another opportunity to attack later, but if the team leader comes, he still decides to restrain himself a bit, in case he is unlucky and gets caught.Not only would he lose face, but the whole family would lose face.

In fact, he doesn't mind losing face for the whole family, or himself, but if he goes all out, the other brothers will dare to go all out and beat him to death.

Although he doesn't mind, but he can't stop the other brothers from minding. He can't be against the other brothers because of this matter. At that time, he won't be fond of Lu Laoqi, and he won't fall in love with these brothers, so life will be sad There are a lot of them.

So these six people stood up and walked around, some went to the kitchen, some went outside to meet guests, and some went to the accounting place...

For example, Boss Lu, he wants to go to the kitchen to see what delicious dishes are cooked there, find an opportunity to eat, and then find another opportunity to command the people in the kitchen. At that time, there will always be a moment of his prestige, Especially when the kitchen will deliver wine to the guests later on. He usually has no other hobbies but loves to take a sip. As long as the wine is delivered at that time, he will watch from the side and pay respects to every table. With such a lively banquet at Qijia, he is the one who stands out.

Think about it, their family contributes money, people and efforts, but he will be the one to show off at that time, isn't it because they made him a wedding dress, and he didn't have to pay anything, and he took all the credit in his hands, and You can also get to know so many people through a toast. As long as he is smarter, says a few more auspicious words, and then greets people with a smile, everyone will look at him. Maybe he can take this opportunity to show His demeanor makes more people willing to make friends with him.

For example, Lu Er Er, he likes to greet guests outside, greet and see off, nodding and bowing. The most important thing is that others think he is the master and are willing to flatter him and say good things. He likes to hear good things from others, especially praise his words.It's the most interesting when everyone promotes each other in business, and you come and go.

As for Lu's third child, he likes to keep accounts the most. Every family comes to their house to attend the wedding. What gifts do they give?Just looking at the account book, he would know how the wedding was going, how much it cost, and whether he could make a profit or lose a lot in the end. He only needs to look at it a few times, and he can basically calculate it slowly.

As for Lu Lao Si, he just wandered around. Although he had the idea of ​​stealing chickens and dogs, he couldn't hide his eagerness to move. He just walked around in the yard, wherever he went.

The whole heart is like a cat scratching. When he sees a purse hanging around someone else's waist, he will guess in his heart what is in the purse?How much money might there be in it?

In fact, looking at other people's purses is also very knowledgeable. From the size of the purse, the newness of the purse, and the location of the purse, you can actually see a person's daily life habits. These habits of children can basically infer the identity of these people, and then Estimate their worth.Some people look poor at first glance, while some people look good even though their wallets don't look big.It seems that rich people are full of extravagance in every gesture.

Seeing these people, Lu Laosi felt like a cat scratching his heart, wishing to rush to these local tyrants and put their purses into his arms.

It's a pity that there are so many rich people in this wedding banquet. I don't know where Lu Laoqi met. He doesn't know many people, so he can only watch.

Besides this, Fourth Lu's eyes were still fixed on the jade pendants around these people's waists, the tables on their wrists, the hairpins on their heads... In short, as long as they were valuable things, he would look more often.

And after a few glances, he couldn't attract the attention of others at all, because of his habit of being a thief. He got an idea of ​​what was on them, and walked past him swaggeringly.

Lu Laosi was surrounded by a group of shiny and valuable things from the rich, and felt that his hands were about to move. Why not hold both hands firmly, stuff them into the sleeves, and keep admonishing himself in his heart—be patient. Hold back, hold back, don't move, wait until the banquet is over, and then find these people to start.

Now he very much hopes that this banquet will start quickly and then break up. It has been a long time for these rich people to pluck their wool.

"Hey, really, why didn't I think of it? If I knew this, I should have made some preparations in advance." Lu Laosi said.

In fact, it doesn't matter. With so many rich people, he only needs to target two at random, and it's enough to strike. Looking at these targets, he doesn't notice each of them. Isn't it easy to get what he wants?

Lu Laowu was in charge of talking to these guests. In fact, he was not asked to do this matter, but he saw Lu Weiliang entertaining people, so he took the initiative to help.

When Lu Weiliang first met him, he didn't even think about asking him for help, but he had already taken the initiative to come to him and did a good job, so he didn't care about it and let him go.

In fact, Lu Weiliang knew in his heart that to make this banquet well, it mainly depends on his own family. His servants can be of great use, and the Tongliao that he usually makes friends with in the yamen can be of great use, and some neighbors who have good relations also volunteer to help , which made the whole banquet very smooth.

As for his brothers, don't think that he doesn't know what they are thinking, just look at their performance when they first came, he knows what these brothers are thinking.

However, today is Lu Jia's happy day, so don't worry about what these brothers are doing here, as long as they don't take the initiative to make trouble, they won't work if they don't work. Anyway, at the very beginning, they were not expected Come and work.

Lu Weiliang received his colleagues in the yamen. There were some who had a good relationship with him last time, and some who had a mediocre relationship with him. In short, everyone was very face-saving, and Lu Weiliang also felt that this was very good.

Time passed quickly, everyone was ready at the banquet, and then they exchanged glasses and waited for the groom to pick up the bride.

Soon there was a commotion outside, Xiaoliang's sona sounded from outside, and some people were following behind, beating and beating, the gongs and drums were noisy, the groom was riding a tall horse, followed by a bridal sedan chair, and There are more than 20 people welcoming relatives.

"Hey, this family is really lively. There are so many people here to greet the relatives. Is there so much dowry to be sent over?"

"I heard that Lu Jia's name is a stonemason. I didn't expect the stonemason's family to have so much money, and even hired a sedan chair. Look at the horse under his crotch, how majestic it is."

"I really didn't expect that this stonemason's family is so rich that they can afford horses. Look at us ordinary people. It would be great if Qujing could have an ox cart. Sometimes there is no ox, and you can drag this board." A car is fine too. His family can afford a sedan chair, and even bought a horse, which is beyond my imagination, how much will it cost?"

"What do you know? The Lu family is living a pretty good life now, and Lu Jia's dowry must not be thin. If more than 20 of you from my family come to welcome the bride, it will really be a good thing."

"Don't talk about it, the reason why the Lu family can live well is because they married a good wife. Have you forgotten what life the Lu family lived in the past? Lu Weiliang has to hand over half of his wages, and with three My younger sister is struggling to survive and has to take medicine. The reason why their family is prosperous is because they married this good wife. How much dowry does this Jiang Wenshan bring? Why did you blindly fall in love with the Lu family?"

"What good status does the Lu family have? The status is low, and there is no money in the family. What is Jiang Wenshan planning? Tu Lu Weiliang's family is poor, Lu Weiliang is old, is Tu Lu Weiliang a catch?"

"She is really blind. Finding a good one with her conditions will be much better than the current life."

"You don't need to say more about this. He has good conditions. No matter who he marries and has his own dowry, he can live a carefree life. Even if her husband's family is impoverished and impoverished, as long as he marries, he can live a happy life." Well, no matter who marries her, there will be no pressure, it's only because we don't have the luck to get into her eyes."

"Yes, girls from the Jiang family don't worry about getting married. I heard that the Jiang family rejected many marriage proposals, scholars, carpenters, butchers... no matter what their status, as long as they didn't like them, they all rejected them. I don't know what their family's criteria are for choosing a son-in-law? It looks a bit weird, and I can't understand their thoughts at all. The police also marry, and the scholars also marry, and they don't value their status, so they may refuse people of any status, but may agree."

"Actually, I also want to marry the Jiang family's daughter. If it's not the daughter of the reduced price, the Lu family's daughter is also fine. But now that Lu Jia is married, their family has no daughter. I have no hope."

"Hey, don't talk about it. It's not our turn to think of something beautiful."

"Why can't it be our turn? Isn't there two daughters in the Jiang family who are not engaged? What if they fall in love with me?"

"Pull it down, just dream in broad daylight."

……

There were a lot of people on the street watching the excitement, circling around the direction of the sedan chair. Among the crowd, there were people who knew about the situation of the two families, and they kept talking, and those who followed along the way knew about the situation of the two families. Situation, can not help but join the discussion.

But amidst the sound of firecrackers and Luo drums, everyone spoke by shouting.Even if he shouted loudly, sometimes he couldn't hear what the other party said clearly, and the groom riding on the tall horse didn't pay attention to the movement in the crowd at all.

He was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a beaming face and a strong figure. He was riding on a horse, walking all the way forward, and his mouth kept turning up.

The crowd in front kept shouting at him: "Groom, hurry up, hurry up, we've arrived, hurry up and pick up the bride."

"The groom is sitting on the horse, looking really energetic."

"Yeah, yeah, I just saw him two days ago, and I didn't think he was so good-looking. Why did he change his clothes and sit on the horse as if he was a different person? Look at his mouth that is cracked to the ear When you go to the edge, you will know how to giggle."

"Don't say it, even with a smirk, it looks quite energetic. This is the blessing of stupid people."

"What do you mean by being stupid? Can a stupid person ride a good horse? You can't pick up a good-looking one. When you marry in the future, your husband may not be able to have such a horse!"
