Marrying into a poor family

Lu Jiu was drunk after returning from socializing last night, and was served by the sweet-smelling and soft-smelling girl Ruanyu Wenxiang, so he got up a little late in the morning.

After washing up, I saw the post that I had just sent yesterday evening. I hurriedly speeded up my stomach and went to say hello to my mother. When I heard that my father had already left the house, I hurriedly got into the carriage and headed towards the inn where Xiao Chenyu was staying. go.

As soon as he entered the room where Xiao Chenyu was, Lu Jiu wrinkled his nose, and immediately his eyes showed joy and said, "Did Brother Xiao bring incense tablets?"

"Well, there are twenty pieces. After you count them, sign this receipt so that I can go back and deliver the work." Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu saw the gift and wanted to introduce Lu Da and Qiao San, but it was a pity that Lu Jiu had already followed the scent. He ran towards the wooden box.

Xiao Chenyu had no choice but to do business first. After the handover was over, Lu Jiu arranged for the accompanying boy to escort the incense stick to his father's place.

Then he sat down and exchanged greetings with Xiao Chenyu: "Brother Xiao didn't know something. The last batch of red gold ingots was not enough. Even the elders of my family didn't get it. My father went out early to hide for fear of being blocked. .These twenty pieces can solve the urgent need."

"Things are rare and valuable. Now that this thing has just come out, everyone is looking for it to be new. When there are more on the market, it will not be so rare."

Lu Jiushen agreed: "However, at the current speed, the supply in the capital alone exceeds the demand, not to mention there are other towns, so it will still be rare for a while."

Xiao Chenyu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that Lu Jiu, who seemed out of place, was actually very smart and knew business very well.

"By the way, I will introduce two fellow villagers to Brother Lu Jiu. They are now making a living at the dock. If Brother Lu Jiu is in need, he can help take care of the business."

Lu Jiu's peach blossom eyes moved over, looked at Lu Da and Qiao San, politely cupped his hands, and asked: "What errands are you two doing at the dock?"

"As far as Lord Lu Jiu is concerned, I can help get the goods on and off the ship, and also help escort the goods. Anyway, I can do whatever I have to do."

Qiao San's answer made Lu Jiu smile, his expression slightly relaxed, and he looked at Xiao Chenyu and said: "Our family also has a cooperative escort agency, but since it was the person introduced by the second brother Xiao, I have to say no matter what Take care of business.”

After giving Xiao Chenyu enough face, he looked at Lu Da and Qiao San: "However, I have no involvement in the family business, so I can't decide. I don't have much business in my own hands. I hope you two don't mind."

Lu Da and Qiao San quickly stood up and said no.

"Since it is the person introduced by the second brother Xiao, let them handle the delivery from Qijiang County in the future. This will avoid any mishaps on the road in the future."

Xiao Chenyu pondered for a moment, then agreed with a smile. Once again, he felt that this man who smiled like a fox also had a fox's heart.

Use people introduced by Xiao Chenyu to escort the goods. If something happens, it will be difficult for Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu to blame Lu Jiu.

What a cunning fox.

Lu Da and Qiao San left first. They had to rent a courtyard to settle their men and recruit troops. They were very busy. However, now that they had hooked up with the Lu family, they had really established a firm foothold.

Lu Da was overjoyed and found Qiao San deep in thought, so he bumped him with his arm and asked what happened?
Qiao San explained what Lu Jiu had just said: "He was trying to give Mr. Xiao some face, but in fact he was asking Mr. Xiao to owe him a favor. In addition, if something went wrong while we were escorting the goods, we wouldn't be responsible. Master Lu Jiu still belongs to Xiao Chenyu and his wife."

Lu Da was not a careful person, but after listening to Qiao San's advice, he understood instantly.

The two of them walked for a while with their own thoughts. Lu Da clapped his hands and said, "Then let's be more cautious and make sure we don't make mistakes. As long as goods are coming and going between the Lu family and Mr. Xiao's family, let's send more people to ensure safety. Yes." "That's all we can do. I hope we can become stronger as soon as possible. The second brother's revenge has been delayed for too long. I'm afraid he will scold us as ungrateful down below." Qiao San said gloomily.

After hearing this, Lu Da was speechless.

Xiao Chenyu said that he wanted to rent a yard temporarily so that Qin Xiang could stay temporarily when she came up. After all, it was very inconvenient to live in an inn with a maid and a mother-in-law.

"Oh, you guys are going to live temporarily for a while. What kind of yard should you rent? Is my other yard enough for you to live in?" Lu Jiu was acquainted with each other once and for all. Anyway, he already lived in his own yard in Qijiang County, and it was more difficult to live in Fucheng. what is the relationship?
"Let's rent a courtyard. We are coming back this time for the Qin family's old lady's birthday. Living in your family's private garden is not good after all."

"What's wrong? Our two families are already bound together. Is it possible that you and your wife want to draw a clear line between you and me, Lu Jiu?"

Then, without any explanation, he took Xiao Chenyu on the carriage to see two houses. Finally, Xiao Chenyu chose a smaller two-entry courtyard.

Lu Jiu immediately ordered the housekeeper who looked after the yard to tidy up the house. All the windows were replaced with new breathable gauze, and everything in the house was replaced with something more elegant. If there was anything missing, just go back to the old house and ask Mrs. Lu for it.

Xiao Chenyu was not polite and let Lu Jiu arrange it. After Lu Jiu finished his work, the two of them went to the restaurant to have a drink.

Lu Jiu originally proposed to go to Hualou for a drink, but Xiao Chenyu sternly refused. Lu Jiu thought about the last time he took Xiao Chenyu to Yun Niang's place in Liuye Lane to have a drink, and Qin Xiang had suppressed his goods for several days, so he gave up the idea. Xiao Chenyu's plan to visit the brothel.

Liu Xi and his servants had gone to Fucheng for a long time, while Qiao Dazhuang and Xiao Qi went to Lu Dachuan to catch up with everyone, but they didn't come back last night.

Lu Jiu was not a man who could calm down. Even when he was drinking in a restaurant, he still called a singer to join in the fun.

Two women came, one played the pipa and the other sang.

However, Xiao Chenyu found that although Lu Jiu called people over, he did not look at them. This shows that his romantic reputation is not as bad as the outside world said.

"Brother Xiao, let me ask you something."

"Brother Lu Jiu, please tell me."

"Is getting married really good?" Lu Jiu drank a glass of wine with a rather depressed expression.

"Of course it's good. What's wrong with having someone who knows how to feel cold and hot to accompany you?" Xiao Chenyu saw that Lu Jiu was worried. Although it was inconvenient to ask, his true feelings were indeed like this, so he said so.

He added: "Both my parents are gone. Although I have an older brother, I don't have much contact with him. So after we got married, I really felt that I was no longer alone. Some people were thinking of buying me clothes, and some were preparing gifts for me." A gift for my teacher. Someone is looking forward to my coming home during my rest period. For me, getting married is really good."

"Well, you married a good wife, so of course you say so. What if you marry a tigress? What fun can there be in this life if you are controlled by others?"

Xiao Chenyu laughed loudly: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so you can't force yourself. I like to be controlled by others, so naturally I can't think like the two Xiao brothers."

"If I were..." Lu Jiu was stunned for a moment, then said: "If I could marry a woman who is compatible with her, maybe I would also be willing to be controlled by her, and from now on I would no longer miss the fireworks and willows."
