Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 36 Even if she is tied, she must be tied to the car
Two groups of guests came early in the morning. Shopkeeper Dou of Baitori Gate took a quick glance and personally entertained the distinguished Pei Jinghan, and signaled a staff to entertain Lu Cheng with his eyes.

Lu Cheng handed the birdcage to the clerk, and told him about the situation of the parrot in the past few days, but out of the corner of his ear, he paid attention to the person two feet away.

"Ningxiang, help me to see what to give to Second Young Master." Pei Jinghan raised his head slightly, looking at all kinds of birds in the shop.The younger brother is just at the age of being playful, and Pei Jinghan doesn't have much time to spend with him when he has errands, so he wants to give him a living thing to pass the time.The birds that can run on the ground have been given away almost all over the years, and none of them lived long. This time he simply picked a bird for him.

Ning Xiang resisted not looking at Lu Cheng's side, and looked around for half a circle. The little girl was first attracted by a brightly feathered oriole, and suggested in a low voice, "How about that oriole?"

Pei Jinghan glanced at it and shook his head, "The old lady has a yellow warbler, the second son doesn't like it, change it."

Ning Xiang quickly took a fancy to another red-crowned sparrow, with a gray body, chubby and cute, and a tuft of red hair on its forehead.

Pei Jinghan still didn't like it, "They are too small, change to a bigger one."

Shopkeeper Dou at the side quickly suggested: "How about a parrot? The second son is young, so he will definitely like it if he raises a parrot to keep him entertained."

Ning Xiang felt guilty and didn't say a word.In fact, she also wanted to mention the parrot, but Lu Chengcheng was over there with a parrot in his hand, and she was afraid that Lu Cheng would think too much.

At this time, Pei Jinghan happened to notice Lu Cheng, but he had long since forgotten about the little steward who he had only met once in the orchard and he hadn't seen him directly, so his eyes fell directly on the birdcage in his hand.

Shopkeeper Dou introduced at the right time: "It's a cockatiel with beautiful white feathers, and it's the favorite of young masters and girls."

Seeing Pei Jinghan facing him, Lu Cheng's face was calm and his figure was as tall and straight as a pine. No one could see the various emotions in his heart.

The parrot in the birdcage didn't have the spirit of its owner, and lay there listlessly, with dull eyes.

Pei Jinghan frowned, turned his head sideways and said to Shopkeeper Dou, "Do you have young eagles here? The parrot thrushes are all raised by girls. Men should raise eagles, otherwise they will easily lose their minds and only know how to play with birds for fun."

He just expressed his views on raising birds, not against Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng's face changed slightly, and he instinctively wanted to find a reason to object to this, but in the end he had to admit that what Pei Jinghan said seemed to make sense.

How can a man with a parrot compare to a man with an eagle on his shoulders in terms of majesty?

Uncontrollably, Lu Cheng also looked at shopkeeper Dou, and unexpectedly found that the girl next to Pei Jinghan seemed to be looking at him.Lu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned his gaze, he saw Ning Xiang was looking at him worriedly. Their eyes met. She lowered her head in shock, and quickly hid on the other side of Pei Jinghan.

But those almond eyes that were nervous for him were deeply imprinted in Lu Cheng's mind.

Is she afraid that he will be angry because of Pei Jinghan's words?

If she was really duplicity and greedy for vanity, after being knocked out by someone, she shouldn't still care about his mood, right?

With doubts together, Lu Cheng's chest suddenly became less congested.

Shopkeeper Dou also opened his mouth at this time, and smiled at Pei Jinghan: "Yes, I just had a brood of eaglets ready to sell. It's a coincidence that the son came here. Wait a moment, I'll go and bring them here."

Pei Jinghan nodded. Seeing that the little girl next to him had a strange expression, it must be because he rejected her two proposals. He smiled slightly, leaned over and said softly, "Ningxiang likes Huangying? Then I'll give you one."

The gentle and loving tone made Lu Cheng clenched his fists.

Ning Xiang could imagine Lu Cheng's expression without looking, she quickly shook her head and refused, "No, Su Yue hates this the most, she definitely doesn't like me raising birds."

Pei Jinghan wanted to make her happy, thought for a while, and said, "Then I'll let Changshun take care of her, and you can let him take it to the yard whenever you want."

Ning Xiang still wanted to refuse, but Pei Jinghan suddenly took her hand and led her towards Huang Ying, "That's it, let's choose one."

Ning Xiang felt as if her hand was entangled by a snake.

But after a brief hesitation, she didn't struggle, nor did she look at Lu Cheng's expression, and was held by Pei Jinghan obediently. She didn't lower her head and struggle until Pei Jinghan stopped and wanted to hold her hand.Pei Jinghan knew that she was shy, so he gently scratched her palm and let go, helping her choose Huang Ying.

Ning Xiang stared at the orioles stiffly and numbly, hoping that after Lu Cheng misunderstood her, he would be so angry that he would forget her.

Of course Lu Cheng was angry when his sweetheart's hand was treated lightly by others. If the anger in his chest could really burn, Pei Jinghan would have been burned to ashes by now.But Lu Cheng was not so angry that he lost his mind, so he could see that when Ning Xiang was led away by Pei Jinghan, the side of her face was pale, not because she was shy because she was afraid of being seen intimacy between the two.

She didn't want Pei Jinghan to treat her like this.

But she is a maid, she has no ability to refuse.

After his anger subsided, Lu Cheng became more and more determined to take her home at the end of the month. Even if he was tied up, he had to tie her into the car. Only when he was alone together would he have the chance to give her the money he had saved to help her redeem herself as soon as possible and leave that place. At first glance, he is not a so-called son of a good person.

His thoughts were all on Ning Xiang, so much so that the guy in front of him called him twice before he came back to his senses.

Seeing that he finally saw himself, the guy said angrily, "Do you remember what I told you?"

Lu Cheng didn't hear it at all. Pei Jinghan probably noticed his strangeness and nodded indiscriminately.

The clerk held out his hand to him, "Two dollars for the medicine, I'll get you the medicine."

Lu Cheng looked at the parrot in his hand, just in time shopkeeper Dou came back, he clenched his fists, and asked the waiter in embarrassment: "Can it be cheaper?"

The clerk looked at him, and his attitude was kind but not negotiable, "This is already the cheapest, don't blame me for not reminding you, if you pay for it early, you will be cured early, and if you take medicine for a long time, it won't save you. It's useless, isn't it?" How much money. This cockatiel is very smart and can talk a lot, and your third uncle bought it for 20 taels of silver."

Lu Cheng showed hesitation, looked down at the birdcage, and said in a low voice, "You do your work first, I'll think about it later."

The guy turned and left.

Lu Cheng quietly listened to shopkeeper Dou talking.

"My son, there are five goshawks in this nest. They were hatched in July last year. These four are the most robust. Which one do you like?"

Shopkeeper Dou ordered his staff to bring out a yellow wooden bird stand, on which four goshawks of similar size were tied with foot trippers. The feathers of the birds were dark brown, and only the neck was gray and white.The hard beak is as sharp as a hook and looks very fierce.Although it is only ten months old, once it comes out, it compares with other birds in cages.

Hearing from Shopkeeper Dou that it's best to feed them live mice and birds, Ning Xiang looked at the goshawk's sharp eyes and sharp beak, and couldn't help but hide behind Pei Jinghan.

Pei Jinghan laughed loudly, looked at it carefully, and chose the most powerful and sturdy one without asking the price at all.

Shopkeeper Dou didn't mention it either, and enthusiastically taught him how to tame a falcon.

Pei Jinghan listened with great interest, and finally asked shopkeeper Dou to send Goshawk to the Hou's mansion later, and he led Ningxiang to go shopping elsewhere.

Ning Xiang followed behind him with drooping eyes, never looking at Lu Cheng from the beginning to the end.

Lu Cheng watched her go out, and seeing Shopkeeper Dou was about to carry the bird stand back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper Dou, how do you sell this goshawk?"

Shopkeeper Dou glanced at him, regret flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show a hint of ridicule, and said kindly: "50 taels, my little brother must also like the majesty of goshawks, right? But let me tell you the truth, goshawks are not easy to raise. It’s not easy, only those who wait for the rich and powerful have leisure to toss about, we ordinary people raise parrots to pass the time, it’s relaxing and relieves boredom, it’s good.”

It is not recommended that Lu Cheng buy an eagle.

Lu Cheng really couldn't afford it either.

But thinking of Pei Jinghan's words, Lu Cheng was not reconciled.

Looking at the four goshawks on the bird stand again, Lu Cheng's heart moved, and he asked suspiciously: "Just now I heard from shopkeeper Dou that there are five goshawks in this nest, why didn't the other one come out?"

Shopkeeper Dou said with a smile: "In every nest of eaglets, there is the strongest one and the weakest one, and that one is the smallest, which is completely incomparable with these few. I can eat the residue left by my brothers, even if I tame it, I can't take it out for hunting..."

"Then how much is that one?" Lu Chengfei was not disappointed, but had hope. The price would be low if the eagle was not good enough.

Shopkeeper Dou heard what he meant, touched his chin, and said bluntly: "Although that one is much worse, it can still be used as a decoration when it grows up. The price is still very high. I really want to buy it, since you are our shop." Come on, my regular customer, give me 25 taels."

Lu Cheng paused, and said sincerely: "Master Dou, I can only take out 20 taels, do you think it can be cheaper?"

"If you don't have money, don't buy it. What are you doing for a while?" A guy couldn't stand it, and whispered.

As if he had never heard of it, Lu Cheng looked directly at Shopkeeper Dou and said, "Shopkeeper Dou, Shizi bought it for his younger brother. I bought the goshawk to give to my son. I also hope that the kid will grow up to be promising, not Like me, I have been dealing with the crops all my life. You can give me another five taels, or I will make an IOU first, and then I will replenish you when I have more money in the future?"

Shopkeeper Dou raised his eyebrows unexpectedly after hearing this, looked at Lu Cheng again, stroked his beard and said, "Forget it, you met Shizi this morning, and it is fate to hear what Shizi said, since you sincerely want to buy it, I'll sell you for 20 taels. But the ugly thing is, it's expensive to buy an eagle, and it's even more expensive to raise one. If you die one day, don't come here to make a fuss about losing money."

Lu Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lu Cheng is definitely not the kind of messy person. Just now I heard from the buddy that this cockatiel is worth 20 taels, and two coins can cure the current illness. I will post it later." Would you like to exchange the cockatiel for the goshawk for two silver coins?"

He knew that his proposal was too absurd, so Lu Cheng smiled awkwardly, but sincerely looked at the old man in front of him with peach blossom eyes.

The few guys who were watching the fun laughed mockingly.

Shopkeeper Dou also smiled, and smiled kindly. He stretched out his hand and nodded to Lu Cheng, who was not moved by those ridicules, "You kid, you know how to do business better than me, that's all, I think you hit it off, so I'll make it easier for you once. Then I don't want two coins anymore, I just hope that your son will really flourish in the future, don't forget to patronize my business again."

Like a father, like a son, I am unwilling to be poor and have great ambitions, and my son must be no different.

Shopkeeper Dou looked at Lu Cheng meaningfully, confident that he saw the right person.

Besides, even if he misread it, he only made a little less profit from this transaction, and did not lose money.
