Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 45 Invitation

Just as Du Xiaoyu expected, Daya Zhou really could do anything that day, and within a short while began to make friends with Du Wenyuan.However, fortunately, he is not stupid, he often chokes Daya Zhou to the point of speechlessness when he answers, and after a few times, he no longer has the courage to open his mouth, and just walks beside him silently, looking at him from time to time.

When we reached the center of the street, there were more and more people. Some restaurants even invited people to dance lions to attract business.

Zhou Daya saw that this was a good opportunity, and she was determined not to let it go. When the opportunity was right, she threw herself on Du Wenyuan. Anyway, there were so many excuses, and others always pushed it!
As a result, Du Wenyuan was not a piece of wood, so how could such a big person stand there and let her pounce on him, so he naturally got out of the way.

Seeing Zhou Daya being hugged by a big black man next to her, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Du Wenyuan squeezed two steps over, stared at her face and said, "Did you know that she would be like this?" I have never seen this kind of woman. I have made it very clear just now, just let her stay away. This time, fortunately, his movements were quite flexible, otherwise, he would have been rushed into her arms like this, I really can't imagine what the scene would be like!
Du Xiaoyu was still laughing, "I warned you earlier, it's okay, it's okay, she didn't succeed."

The two of them were talking, but they didn't notice that there was a person pushing over from the side, and shouted, "Little fish, Brother Du!"

Du Wenyuan turned his head to see that it was Zhang Zhuoyu, and said with a smile, "It's a coincidence that you also came out."

"Yeah, it's really a coincidence." Zhang Zhuoyu was very happy, "Just now I thought my eyes were blurred, but I didn't expect it to be you, Sister Huanghua is here too!" As he spoke, he shook hands with Du Huanghua.

Du Huanghua smiled back.

"It's noon soon, let's go to my uncle's house for dinner later!" Zhang Zhuoyu proposed the invitation. He also played outside for a while and was about to go back to eat, so he thought of inviting them to go together, just in time to talk.

Du Wenyuan was taken aback, "This..."

"It's okay, my uncle is very hospitable. If you know that I am inviting the youngest boy in the village, you will be very welcome." Zhang Zhuoyu patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically, "I have mentioned your literary talent to my uncle a long time ago, and he also agrees. Say I want to see you, let's go, Xiaoyu, Sister Huanghua," he led the way, "Brother Du has been there once anyway, it's very close to here."

As soon as the four of them left the crowd, they heard shouts from behind, "Sister Huang Hua, Sister Xiaoyu, where are you going, wait for me!"

Zhang Zhuoyu didn't know what was going on, and asked, "He came with you?"

Forgot about that thick-skinned, Du Xiaoyu said, "Leave her alone, she's very annoying."

Du Huanghua frowned, "It's always from the same village, and it's not easy to leave it alone. I promised to go back together just now."

Zhang Zhuoyu felt the hostility in Du Xiaoyu's tone just now, and asked, "Xiaoyu, don't you want to have dinner with her?"

"En." Du Xiaoyu nodded, not hiding her disgust.

At this time Zhou Daya had already chased after him, her hair was piled up in a mess on her head, she was very embarrassed, but her eyes were eager, and she quickly turned from Du Wenyuan to Zhang Zhuoyu, wondering how she had gained an extra in just a while Young man, his appearance is not much worse than Du Wenyuan's, and he is well dressed, he looks like he came from a rich family.

She read it right, since Zhang Zhuoyu lived in his uncle's house, he couldn't compare with before. His uncle didn't have a son. In fact, he treated him like a son when he took over. Naturally, he was no different from other relatives. Food, clothing and housing were all in the house. The best in the world is not comparable to Du Wenyuan from the farm, so judging from these accessories, the two are obviously not at the same level.

"Sister Huang Hua, who is this?" Zhou Daya eagerly asked, "Your relatives?"

"It's the junior brother of the second brother." Du Huanghua replied.

"Oh, I also studied at Master Liu's place!" Zhou Daya was a little puzzled, so she must be from the village, could it be the young master of some landlord's family?But it seems that I have never heard that the rich young masters in their village are either poorly educated or ugly, but since this one can study with Mrs. Liu, if the family is rich, how can the mother I will also mention it...

Seeing that she was going crazy again, Du Xiaoyu curled her lips and said, "Are we going or not?"

"Where are you going?" Zhou Daya asked hurriedly.

"Master Zhang invited us to his uncle's house for dinner." Naturally, only Du Huanghua answered her.

Zhou Daya realized that this young master had relatives in the town, so she wanted to go with her.

Zhang Zhuoyu looked at her and smiled, "Girl, my uncle doesn't know you, so I can't invite you to dinner, please come back."

Wow!Du Xiaoyu almost clapped her hands when she heard this, it turns out that people who seem gentle also have such a side!Zhang Zhuoyu is good, you are not a bad person!

Zhou Daya was rejected by him face to face, she couldn't get off the stage immediately, but she didn't give up, she pulled Du Huanghua's sleeve pitifully, "I'm a friend of Sister Huanghua, can't I go?"

"I'm sorry." Zhang Zhuoyu said this and walked forward.

Seeing this, Du Huanghua sighed, "You'd better go back to the village by yourself, Mr. Zhang can't be the master, that's his uncle's house."

Speaking of this, no one can force it anymore, Zhou Daya glared at Du Xiaoyu bitterly, she is not a fool, she can't detect the other party's hostility, but the three siblings are all based on that The dead girl was the center, so she could only suppress the anger in her heart, turned around and left.

Du Xiaoyu was in a very happy mood, walked quickly to Zhang Zhuoyu's side, and looked at him with a smile.

"You bought a rabbit?" Zhang Zhuoyu also turned to look at her.

"Well, isn't it beautiful?" Du Xiaoyu lifted up the bamboo basket as if offering a treasure, "Others bought one for two hundred yuan, but I only spent fifty yuan. I'll give you a few when you give birth to little rabbits in the future."

"Okay, then I'll thank you first." Zhang Zhuoyu looked back, saw Du Huanghua was at the back, and said in a low voice, "By the way, how is your sister, my aunt will be free after the Lantern Festival. "

Du Xiaoyu was depressed again, "My mother won't allow it. If she finds out that she will be signed to death for three years, she won't let my sister go to learn."

"Why?" Zhang Zhuoyu was surprised.

"My second brother wants to study, and if the family buys a few more acres of land, no one will grow it, so my sister will go to farm."

"So it's because of this." Zhang Zhuoyu said with a smile, "Just find a farm laborer. Anyway, early spring and autumn harvest are busy."

good idea!As soon as Du Xiaoyu hit her head, why didn't she think of such a solution? She happily tugged at Zhang Zhuoyu's sleeve, "Thank you, I've been worrying all this time, and I can finally be relieved!"

Seeing the brilliance on her face, those eyes seemed to be able to refract brilliant light, Zhang Zhuoyu was a little dazed for a moment.

"However, where do you find the hired workers? How much do you get for a month?" Du Xiaoyu didn't know this very well. He bought the rabbit for two hundred cash, so there is still more than one or two taels of silver, plus the money spent on selling the cloth should be There is a three taels of silver, I don't know if it can last for a year.

"I'll ask my uncle later."

"That's good." Du Xiaoyu sized him up and said, "Seeing how you mentioned your uncle, you two have a good relationship, right?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhuoyu's face suddenly showed respect.

Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Your uncle must be very happy to have such an excellent nephew like you."

Zhang Zhuoyu felt a little embarrassed, "I, I'm not considered outstanding, far worse than your second brother."

"I think it's about the same." Du Xiaoyu said, "Besides, you are better than my elder brother if you are admitted as a scholar this year, but as an 11-year-old scholar, you have to work hard and be angry with my second brother."

At this time, there was a cold snort from behind, "What's this called? Let outsiders make your brother angry?"

Du Xiaoyu looked back and saw Du Wenyuan's face was serious, he grinned hurriedly and said, "It's just a joke, can't the second brother hear it?"

"I can't hear it, I just know you have no heart." Du Wenyuan poked her on the head. He was very happy when he saw the two talking and laughing in front of her. When he walked over and heard this, could he not be angry? , The dead girl turned her elbow outward!

Zhang Zhuoyu smoothed things over, "Even if I am admitted as a scholar, I can't compare to your second brother's literary talent, at most he is only two years younger than him."

"Yes, yes, second brother, you are the best at writing poems, no one else can compare, okay?" Although Du Xiaoyu was flattering him, she murmured to herself, she had never seen him write poems and lyrics Yes, who knows if it's good or not.What good poetry a teenager could write, she couldn't quite believe it anyway.

After a while, the four of them arrived at his uncle's house. His uncle's name was Wan Bingguang. Much taller than theirs.The walls are all made of bricks, both the front courtyard and the main room are very spacious, and the roof is also very high, with giant logs as beams and detailed patterns carved on the top.

"Oh, I forgot to buy something, will your uncle think we are impolite?" Du Xiaoyu remembered at this moment, it was all because she left in a hurry, even her sister forgot.

Du Huanghua was also a little remorseful, but Zhang Zhuoyu smiled and said, "My uncle has always been informal. Besides, I invited you here, so it's normal to be unprepared," he said to a boy, "Chengdong, my uncle and Where is my aunt, you go and tell me, I brought my friends."

Cheng Dong hurriedly said, "Master Biao, the master and wife, the lady is admiring flowers in the garden, just now Master Wu sent a pot of camellia, the younger one will go right away."

Du Xiaoyu saw that the young man was very respectful, and thought that although Zhang Zhuoyu was dependent on others, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and the young man did not despise him at all. It seemed that he still had some status in this Wanfu, so he thought that it might be his mother. I have a good relationship with Master Wan, so I really regard this place as my own home.

Another update at night~~
