The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 21
Speaking of this Zhu Shiheng, he is very famous in their area, even Lu Qian has heard of him.

It is said that Master Zhu Shiheng Zhu, his family was as poor as other villagers in his early years.

Later, at the age of 14, he suddenly left home and went out to make a living.

Just 20 years later, when this man came back again, he actually brought back Wan Guan's family wealth. It is said that he brought back more than [-] large boxes of treasures.

As a result, Zhu Shiheng became the undisputed richest man in the Wang family camp.

Even in the county, he has a great reputation.Since Zhu Shiheng returned to his hometown, he has had a close relationship with the previous county magistrates.

How could such a person appoint such two strange-looking stewards?

After the village head Zhao Youde finished speaking with Lu Qian, he introduced to them, "This is Lu Qian, the best paper-cut craftsman in our Wangjiaying."

The two stewards of Zhu's family, the fat one is surnamed Li, and the thin one is from Zhu Shiheng's family and also surnamed Zhu.

Li Guanshi took two steps forward, met with Lu Qian briefly, and said, "Master Lu, that's right. My old lady just passed away, and I want to arrange the funeral. I want to ask Master Lu to help me for a few days."

It turned out to be the case.

When organizing a funeral, it is inevitable to tie some funeral objects such as paper figurines.

If it is an ordinary household, just tie up two paper figurines randomly and you will be fooled.But I wish my family a great career, and it is reasonable to want to find a craftsman to do finer work.

I don't know when in Dali Kingdom, when people are buried after death, they will almost certainly transform into zombies.

Therefore, the imperial court explicitly prohibited the funeral of the people, and required all cremation after death.

However, having said that, it is also reasonable and reasonable to arrange a funeral for the deceased before cremation.

It is reasonable for a big family like the Zhu family to run wild for a few days.

Hearing this sentence, Lu Qian was a little moved.

Although Zhu's family lived in a valley, they were extremely rich.Go to their house to "help" for a few days, and the income must be much higher than going to Wangjiaying to go to the market.

After Li Guanshi finished speaking, he added: "In terms of remuneration, Master Lu will definitely be satisfied."

After hearing this, Lu Qian was determined, and said, "Yes, but I need to take someone with me."

Li Guanshi was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect that a paper-cut craftsman would have to bring helpers when he went out to work?
Coincidentally, Zuo Qiuling also came out at this time.

Li Guanshi and the others looked up and saw her, and were even more surprised.

They originally thought that Lu Qian was just a poor boy selling paper-cuts.

However, he did not expect that there was such a beautiful Mei Jiao'e in his family.

Could it be that the rumors are wrong, or is this "Master Lu" suddenly prosperous?

Seeing Steward Li staring at Zuo Qiuling in a daze, Lu Qian asked, "What, is there a problem?"

Manager Li came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "No problem, Master Lu can bring a few people. My master said that anyone who comes to help will be rewarded with at least one tael of silver."

Huh?
One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper plates.

In the costume drama in the previous life, the heroes would throw a big silver coin every now and then after eating.

But when he really came to this world, Lu Qian knew how much a tael of silver was, especially for poor people like them.

If he brought Zuo Qiuling, wouldn't he be able to earn two taels of silver?
Lu Qian was overjoyed and said, "Okay. Do you need me to bring anything?"

Li Guanshi said: "Everything is ready, Master Lu will bring his own guy and everything will be done."

Lu Qian patted the cage on his back and said, "Then let's go this way?"

"The car is outside, please—"

The two of them had come in a mule cart, which stopped outside the village.

The mule cart was a flatbed, not a covered sedan.There were also two large bags in the car, and I don't know what was in them.

It seems that these two people didn't come here specially to invite Lu Qian, but also bought some other things incidentally.

The four of them got into the mule cart, driven by Steward Zhu, and walked along the mountain road.

Zhao Youde sent them all the way to the entrance of the village, and when the mule cart went far away, they all disappeared, and they were still standing there, not knowing what they were thinking.

At this time, a person behind him suddenly shouted: "Uncle Youde, why are you here, I was just looking for you."

Zhao Youde looked back at the person, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Yufen?"

Liu Yufen carried a bundle of firewood on her back, threw it directly on the ground, trotted over, and said, "Isn't it because of Lu Qian, who is so old, it's time to get married."

When Zhao Youde heard this, he smiled and said: "Yesterday, he came to see me when he was living, and asked me to marry his daughter. I just thought, Lu Qian is the best match for his daughter."

Liu Yufen stretched out her hand to pat her thigh, and said, "Here, we all want to go together. I also think that girl and Xiaoqian are the most suitable, not to mention that they should be young."

Zhao Youde frowned slightly, and said: "But, there is a new girl in Lu Qian's house. I don't know what their relationship is. I just took a look, and this girl is more handsome than a girl who lives in a house. "

Liu Yufen said disapprovingly: "How come, the girl who lives there is not bad looking. Besides, I have already asked Lu Qian, the girl who lives in his house is from Huliu City, and she will not marry into our village."

Zhao Youde was startled when he heard the words, and said: "Huliu City? Brother Lu seems to have moved from Huliu City to our village..."

Liu Yufen blinked and said, "Why, do they really have any relationship?"

The fact that Lu Qian went to the market last time and brought home a beautiful "cousin" is now almost known in Zhaojiatun. Zhao Youde naturally understands which "two families" Liu Yufen is talking about.

He shook his head and said, "As far as I know, Brother Lu's family should have no relatives in Huliu City..."

Liu Yufen waved her hand and said, "No matter how you say it, there is no one in Xiaoqian's family, and we have to take care of his affairs."

Zhao Youde nodded and said: "Of course. Brother Lu came to our village back then, but he helped us a lot. If it wasn't for him, the disaster back then... I'm afraid our Zhaojiatun would have been like those villages, and it would have disappeared long ago."

Liu Yufen said: "Then... Uncle Youde, you are the old man to decide this matter?"

Zhao Youde said: "Okay, I'll go to the house right now, and let them get married in these two days."

With that said, he stretched his legs and walked into the village.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, looked back at Lu Qian's house, then at Liu Yufen, and asked suspiciously:
"Did you ask, how long will the girl who lives in his house stay?"

Liu Yufen was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It seems... I have to stay for a while. What's the matter?"

Zhao Youde glared at her, and said: "You are confused, his house has only one room and one kang, a new wife comes in, and there are two girls in the family, how do these three people live?"

Liu Yufen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? In this poor village of ours, who has a spare house? Anyway, they are 'cousins', and they are all from their own family. They will just live together and live together for the rest of their lives."

Zhao Youde thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and said: "Success, then do this. I think this matter has to be done sooner rather than later."

Liu Yufen said: "Yes. After a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

Zhao Youde sighed: "Yes, his daughter is fifteen years old this year. After the new year, the ghosts knock on the door every night. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later. This marriage must be done quickly, quickly."

While talking, he rushed to the village in a hurry.
