Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 160 Who wants to take a concubine is the grandson!

In Tai'an Prefecture in August, the sun is shining brightly, the autumn air is crisp, and the orchard is filled with refreshing fruit fragrance.

There are scattered red fruits hanging in the dark green leaves, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Ning Xiang felt a little regretful, and sighed to a fruit next to her, "It would be great if there was no hailstorm."

Lu Cheng was already looking down on her now, held her hand and said with a smile: "Without Haizi, this garden would not be ours." Then he picked off the fruit that Ning Xiang was staring at, wiped it with his big hand and handed it to her In front of him, "Eat it, if you don't eat it, it will be gone tomorrow."

He made an appointment with the Jiao family who harvested fruit in Fucheng, and the Jiao family would come to collect fruit tomorrow.

Ning Xiang swallowed her saliva, and swallowed back the words that scolded him for wasting.

The overripe sago has some noodles, but it takes time to transport the fruit. In order to avoid the fruit rotten on the way, the sago should be picked when it is eight or nine percent ripe. At this time, the sago tastes sour and sweet, and it is crisp to the bite.Ningxiang ate half of it and didn't want to eat it. Eating it every day would make it easy for anyone to get tired of it, so she handed it to Lu Cheng very naturally.

Lu Cheng took it over, glanced at her with a smile, and started eating where she had just bitten.

"How many catties can we harvest this year?" The garden is our own, and the hostess Ningxiang couldn't help but care about the harvest.

Lu Cheng wandered around the garden almost every day, and he knew how many fruits each tree bears. Naturally, he had already estimated it, and said as he walked, "It's about nine thousand catties."

In previous years, the fruits were picked in late July. This year, the rain delayed the growth, but the remaining fruits grew larger than in previous years.

Moreover, the nutrients that the fruit trees have not been exhausted by the fruit are destined to make next year a bumper harvest, if the weather goes well.

Lu Cheng looked up at the sky, full of hope.

Ning Xiang was still shocked by the number he said, and said happily: "So much?"

Little did he know how stupid he looked.

Lu Cheng couldn't help pinching her nose, "Last year, one mu of land harvested [-] catties, and this year, [-] mu of land harvested [-] catties. You do the math."

Ning Xiang suddenly wilted, and immediately lowered her eyes, she took his arm and was led away by Lu Cheng, secretly counting on the money.The retail price of Shaguo is ten Wen per catty, and the Jiao family will take half of it. In this case, nine thousand catties of Shaguo can be sold for 45 taels of silver? 45 taels is far from enough to repay the debt, but it is still a lot of money for the villagers.

"Why don't we sell it by ourselves?" Ning Xiang suddenly thought of an idea, and looked at Lu Cheng with bright almond eyes, "Shaguo can be stored for a whole winter, you go to the city to send a few hundred catties at a time, and it will be sold out soon. That way you can earn half the money."

Lu Cheng looked at her pretending to be surprised, "Xiang'er is so smart, why didn't I think of that."

Ning Xiang believed it was true, and smiled to help her, and when she was about to move on, Lu Cheng suddenly hugged her and kissed her twice, "Xiang'er, why are you so stupid, so stupid that I want to ask you here immediately about you!"

Ning Xiang ignored his nonsense, and waited for his explanation in puzzlement.

Lu Cheng said with a smile: "The Jiao family collects fruits and sells them all over the capital. Every year, there are people waiting to buy fruits from him. If we don't sell the Jiao family this year, the Jiao family will lose a lot of goods, so we can't compete with them." The customer told me that we have harmed the Jiao family, so you say, next year there will be more fruits, and we will not be able to sell them all, and if you go to the Jiao family again, they will buy your fruits?"

Ningxiang suddenly realized, blushed, met his playful eyes, punched him unhappily, turned her head and complained: "I have never sold fruit before, of course I didn't understand you, I don't believe you sold fruit for the first time. Know everything."

"I don't know, I was not as smart as Xiang'er at that time." The daughter-in-law was angry, and Lu Cheng hurriedly coaxed, taking the opportunity to tell her good news, "This year there is hail all over the place, the fruit is less, and the price has doubled Well, the Jiao family was also afraid that someone would sell it on their own, so they raised the purchase price by ten cents."

Ning Xiang was overjoyed, looked at him and said, "That is to say, can you sell 90 taels this year?"

Lu Cheng nodded with a smile, kissed her ear and said, "Stay with me tonight?"

Ningxiang lowered her head shyly.

In the afternoon, Lu Ding drove back alone, and tomorrow morning he will bring Xu and Lu's family over to help pick the fruit.

Lu Cheng lived in the orchard alone for five or six nights, and it was rare for his wife to come to see him, so in the afternoon he spent a while in the shed with Ning Xiang in his arms.Both ends of the shed were empty, Ning Xiang wanted to hang up her clothes to block it, but Lu Cheng refused. Taking advantage of the warm and windless autumn afternoon, she enjoyed the beautiful scenery of her daughter-in-law. The more Ning Xiang was afraid of someone coming, the more he would Interest is high.

After a long love affair, Ning Xiang fell asleep from exhaustion.

Lu Cheng dressed her, covered her with the quilt, lay down with her for a while, and went out to set baskets.He brought the baskets from Jiao's house yesterday, and now that they are set up, they can be picked together tomorrow.After finishing the arrangement, the sun was about to set. Lu Cheng washed his hands at the spring and walked towards the shed. From a distance, he saw his wife was still sleeping.

Lu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Just approaching the fruit shed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards the door, wearing a begonia red skirt, and after walking around the branches, Li Xiulan's obviously well-dressed beautiful face was revealed.To be honest, Li Xiulan's appearance is considered top-notch in the countryside, with a fair face, bright red phoenix eyes, and she is not tall, but she has a bulging chest, a thin waist and a fat buttocks, which is very attractive to men.

But those men did not include Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng couldn't explain why he fell in love with Ningxiang at first sight when she was also a beautiful girl, and he was only bored with Li Xiulan's overtures.Maybe it's the eyes, maybe the tone of voice, anyway, I just don't like it.

Afraid of alarming Ningxiang and causing her to misunderstand, Lu Cheng quickly went around and stopped Li Xiulan in front of her, without asking what she was doing here, and said in a cold voice: "Who told you to come in? Go now!"

The gate of the orchard would be locked at night, but he was there during the day, but it was only closed, but usually few people came to the orchard, and the country people were simple, and no one would dare to enter the orchard to steal from heaven.

"Brother Lu, you haven't eaten yet, I made a pie, do you want to try it?"

If Li Xiulan could not bear the shame and left as soon as Lu Cheng kicked her out, then she wouldn't have pestered Lu Cheng for so many years.Her husband was gone in April. Li Xiulan had been arguing with her husband's family for several months over money, and finally went back to her mother's house a few days ago. She was thinking about Lu Cheng, and after a few days of rest, she immediately came to see her sweetheart.

Looking at the tall and handsome man a few steps away, thinking that this orchard belongs to Lu Cheng, Li Xiulan loves Lu Cheng more and more, and walks towards him with a basket full of expectations, her eyes are gentle, and her voice is even more gentle, "Brother Lu takes care of it alone. Have you worked hard on the garden? The food in the restaurant is expensive and not delicious. I know you like leek stuffing, and there is meat in it. You..."

Li Xiulan, who talks to herself like this, is no different from a lunatic in Lu Cheng's eyes, with veins throbbing on her forehead, pointing at the door and chasing away customers again: "I'll let you go, don't you understand people's language? Xiulan, let me tell you , for Master's sake, I politely ask you to leave, if you don't leave, don't blame me for hurting people!"

"I know you dislike me for marrying someone!"

The man spoke sarcastically, but Li Xiulan was not angry, she turned her head and showed a sad face, "Brother Lu, I know myself, I am a widow, how can I be worthy of you? I heard that she is pregnant with a child, I don't ask you to marry me , Brother Lu, can I be your concubine? Now that you are a master, you will definitely take a concubine in the future. Since I have loved you for so many years, Lu Cheng, you want me!"

Talking about throwing away the vegetable basket, he tore open his clothes and rushed towards Lu Cheng, apparently wanting to have a wild date with Lu Cheng in this orchard.

Lu Cheng didn't expect her to go crazy like this, he was caught off guard by a large woman's arms, turned around instinctively, was having a headache how to drive away Li Xiulan without alarming his wife, but saw Ning Xiang coming out of the shed in neat clothes , her pretty face was as cold as ice, and her almond eyes seemed to be able to stab a knife, flying towards him one knife at a time.

Lu Cheng's head was as big as a bucket. Hearing the sound of Li Xiulan's approaching footsteps behind him, he knew that he could no longer hide it, so Lu Cheng hurriedly ran towards Ning Xiang, "Xiang'er, listen to me, she is the granddaughter of Master, we are the granddaughter of the master. I know her, but I don't like her at all, and I didn't know she would come!"

Ning Xiang's gaze had already passed him and landed on Li Xiulan. Li Xiulan was very shocked by her appearance, and stood there dumbfounded, with her clothes loosely unbuttoned.Seeing Ningxiang staring at her, Li Xiulan turned around in a hurry, bowed her head and tied her clothes.

Ning Xiang stared at her back, then looked up at Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng's forehead was sweating, he supported her shoulder with one hand, and her waist with the other, and looked into her eyes nervously, "Xiang'er, believe me, I really have nothing to do with her, I will talk to you from beginning to end in a while. Explain to you, don't be angry, can you? Don't disturb our Guoer..."

Ning Xiang pursed her lips, thinking of what she heard when she woke up, she sarcastically said: "Master Lu will make a lot of money in the future, how many concubines are you going to take?"

Li Xiulan didn't say anything, but Ningxiang almost forgot that Lu Cheng has no money now, and he wholeheartedly guards her. When he has spare money in the future, will he follow the example of other rich masters and take a few concubines to have fun?

Hearing this, Lu Cheng wished he could kneel in front of his daughter-in-law and swear an oath, turning his back to Li Xiulan and begging her pitifully: "Xiang'er, don't listen to her nonsense, you are the only one in my life, whoever takes a concubine is the grandson!"

Ning Xiang snorted, pushed the man aside with a cold face, and looked at Li Xiulan who turned around displeasedly, "Miss Li, right? You heard what Lu Cheng said, he will never take a concubine in his life, Miss Li She looks pretty good, and it's not difficult to remarry, so why bother to keep Lu Cheng alone? My wife will take care of Lu Cheng's daily life and meals, and I ask Miss Li to respect herself in the future, and stop doing such things that make people laugh."

She wore a water-green shirt and stood beside Lu Cheng with a cold face. She still looked beautiful like a fairy, but now the fairy was angry, and there was a majesty in her clear eyebrows. Lu Cheng was used to seeing her gentle appearance. Cheng's eyes straightened, he just felt that such a daughter-in-law was more beautiful and more colorful.

He was amazed there, Li Xiulan stared at Ningxiang, but felt ashamed.

She had heard that Lu Cheng married a fairy-like wife, but she always thought those were exaggerations, but she never thought that Ning Xiang was really so beautiful, standing next to the handsome and extraordinary Lu Cheng, seemed like a match made in heaven.

But when her eyes fell on Lu Cheng, Li Xiulan's heart was full of unwillingness. Why should she have such a good man alone?
"Do you really think that Lu Cheng will guard you obediently?" Li Xiulan stared at Ning Xiang mockingly, "Don't think that you can tie him down because you are beautiful, Lu Cheng has grown up so well, unless the orchard doesn't make money, otherwise there will only be some in the future. More women like him. I was married before and he disliked me. One day, a pure and beautiful girl will come, and I don't believe that he won't be attracted to him. By that time, you will be old..."

"Are you going?"

The more she spoke, the worse it sounded. Lu Cheng couldn't bear it anymore. He strode over to pick up Li Xiulan's vegetable basket and threw it out of the orchard like a stone.After a muffled sound, Lu Cheng looked at Li Xiulan coldly, his fists clacking, "If you don't leave, I'll throw you out too!"

The man was vicious, Li Xiulan was frightened, she looked at Lu Cheng angrily for a moment, and was about to leave.

Ning Xiang suddenly said: "Since you said that, then you can continue to wait for Lu Cheng to finish. When Lu Cheng has another woman, I will reconcile with him immediately and give you the position of wife Take care of his concubines."

After speaking, he entered the shed lightly.

Li Xiulan was overjoyed, she looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Did you hear that? She doesn't allow you to take concubines, she wants to..."

"roll!"

Hearing that Ningxiang was really angry, Lu Cheng was furious, he didn't care whether Li Xiulan was a man or a woman, he grabbed her arm and walked quickly to the door, with so much strength that Li Xiulan cried out for pain.Lu Cheng ignored it, and flung it out vigorously when he reached the door. Li Xiulan didn't stop, exclaimed, and then rolled down the gentle slope in front of the door like a rolling ball.

When Li Xiulan raised her head in disbelief, Lu Cheng whistled.

Suddenly there was an eagle's howl in the depths of the orchard, and soon a three-foot-high goshawk flew over like the wind and landed on Lu Cheng's shoulder.

"If you dare to come again, I'll let it scratch your face."

Lu Chenghan said with a straight face, and next to it, the general's eagle eyes would only penetrate more, and his sharp eyes fell on Li Xiulan, as if looking at a plate of Chinese food.

Li Xiulan shivered uncontrollably.
