Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 104 Perceived Crisis
Lu Run and Ma Ji, who were sweet at heart, felt bitter after hearing what they meant, and their faces were as ugly as eating bitter gourd. The planned double stay and double flight were messed up by this old woman.Lu Run also got angry. He was an elder, and he just wanted to hitch a ride. It was really hard to refuse, and it was not the case if he didn't refuse.

Grandma didn't care what they meant, she went straight to the car body, and asked grandpa to get a quilt to cover her legs.

When she sat down and looked around, she said to Liu Tao: "Your parents are not at home. I am in a hurry today. I have to bring some things to your uncle and third uncle's family this time. You look almost the same. If you don’t have rare things, prepare some for me..."

Liu Tao thought about it, so she went to Hualou to get some candied fruit and wrapped three paper bags. Seeing that grandma was still a little dissatisfied, she went into the kitchen and got a small jar of fennel beans and a big bag of seafood. , a small basket of salt-baked peanuts was placed in the wooden box under her seat.I asked my grandma to go back to my hometown to see my grandparents and bring them some things.As for the money, I dare not let her bring it.

Lu Run and Ma Ji are in the sweetness of you and me, and they are very helpless for grandma's ride. They can only put grandma and the cage for the carrier pigeons on the back seat of the carriage, and set off dejectedly.They both knew that the journey would not be pleasant.

Liu Tao also understood their feelings, and said to Jin Yan in private with a bitter face: "It's over, now, why don't my grandma bring the whole family of my uncle and uncle's family? See, Jin's mansion will have to fly for a while." The dog jumped...."

They walked all the way to Dongji Mansion, and the beautiful foreign horse carriages attracted the attention of passers-by. Because the cargo ships took a lot of risk when smuggling this foreign horse carriages, the price is not affordable for ordinary people, so the number of foreign horse carriages in the capital is also very small. Countable, even rarer in places far away from the capital.

Lu Run and Ma Ji are attractive enough, a handsome man and a handsome woman. The rich lady in the back seat is wearing a crown and a fancy dress. She has also applied makeup on her face and red lips. She looks like a royal relative, grandma. Looking at people's envious and awe-inspiring eyes, I have a sense of superiority in looking down on all sentient beings.

It's just that Lu Run and the two of them didn't dare to be too affectionate no matter when they were in the carriage or staying in the hotel. Once Ma Ji was tired in the carriage and leaned on Lu Run's shoulder, but the seat in the back was passed by. With a deliberate coughing sound, Maggie hurriedly sat upright after waking up, making the two of them feel needles pricking their backs.

The foreign carriage stopped for a while in Fucheng of Dongji Prefecture. Grandma got out of the car and bought two drawers of buns, which attracted many people to watch.Lu Run directly sent grandma to the door of the house, unloaded grandma and the things she brought back, and then returned to Lu Run's home under the envious eyes of everyone.

Lu Run married a new daughter-in-law, and all his neighbors and relatives came to visit. Lu Run gave them the gifts he had prepared a long time ago, and the men gave them Raksha State stainless steel razors, or a razor with foreign cigarettes inside. A pouch with a pouch and flint and steel.The women will give exquisite glass ornaments and Rakshasa incense powder, and the children will give snacks.Taking out a stack of silver bills to parents in front of everyone is to honor them.

Finally, Lu Run went to the yard, took out an exquisite wooden carving box, and told everyone not to touch it, he opened the box carefully, took out a quicksand painting, turned it over and placed it on the stand.Under the gaze of everyone, the yellow quicksand painting changed into a desert for a while, and a river for a while, and the people watching were surprised and inexplicable.Lu Run said with a smile, this is a foreign treasure worth tens of thousands of gold, and it was bought as a gift for his new wife...

In fact, Lu Run was lying. He brought it back from the warehouse in Liangshan Port to show off, and after showing off, he had to send it back intact.

Lu Run's father, who was once a good friend, saw that Lu Run gave away a live treasure worth tens of thousands of gold to his daughter-in-law, and saw a wad of bank notes given to his parents. His own wealth can be imagined.He was so prosperous, but his daughter married a small landlord with only [-] to [-] acres of land. When he thought of this, his intestines were green with regret, and he went to a place where there was no one, and slapped himself. slap in the face.

The parents fell in love with the beautiful Maggie very much. How did they know that she was one of the most beautiful women in Qinglang Country.

Seeing that Lu Run got rich and came back, many people came up with the idea of ​​marrying their daughters to him as their concubine. Unfortunately, the two were influenced by Jin Yanliu Tao's marriage thoughts, and they cared about their world very much.As soon as someone mentioned this topic, Lu Run refused without saying a word.

These people also thought of Lu Run's younger brother, Lu Wo. Since he is in the medical arts, he has a bright future. When Lu Run gave Lu Wo's salary to his parents, they also saw the 200 tael silver note, but It made people jealous, so Lu Wo's idea came to him again.The two don't care about these, as long as no one bothers them.

Lu Run went home to hold a wedding, and Dahu and Su Rui also held a wedding. Not only did they get married, but several of the female workers working in the workshop in the front yard also got married years ago.Among them was a beauty from Xiaoyan Country who married Jin Wei, and a female employee who married Zhao Zhong's cousin Zhao Lianhai. In addition to sending them blessings, Liu Taojin also gave them gifts immediately. difference.

During this period of time, many of those poor women who went to the south with the ship to buy food also found their homes, some married sailors, and some found a bosom husband in the south.

Zhang Sheng was cleared of his guilt by the eldest prince, and the prefect in his hometown was dismissed from office and imprisoned.He fell in love with Luo Luo unrequitedly in the Golden Mansion, but Luo Luo has not yet come out of the shadow of her husband's murder. They are both hard-fated people, and the two hope that they can get together.

The most unlucky one is Erhu, he fell in love with Jiang Yuman, but let Tian Zhuang capture Jiang Yuman's heart one step ahead of time.

Brother Su has sent back four carts of lambskin sheets from Fengcheng. He hired two men in Fengcheng to collect the goods for him. Due to the severe famine this year, more wild animals in the mountains and grasslands have been hunted than in previous years. , there are correspondingly more skins.People ventured down the river to fish for food and clothing, and went to the sea to catch the sea. Even the ferocious and cunning wolves in the past were hunted and killed a lot, so that the wolf problem in the grassland was much less.

Those with weak physical strength set their eyes on the squirrels, voles and tits with little meat, as long as they can eat enough to keep them from starving.

At noon on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, after unloading the last shipment of grain, Su Xiaoge hurried back to the capital of the Dachen Kingdom to reunite with Huang Ying. Huang Ying had given birth to a daughter, and it was now full moon.Most of the employees in Jinfu were closed for the Chinese New Year, except for the dairy workshop, they all went home for the holiday.

The family lunch in the Jin Mansion has been prepared, and Liu Tao specially told Liu Xi in advance to let her and the second uncle come over for a reunion year. As for the reunion with his own family, it will wait until evening.Ever since Liu Xi said that the second uncle's calculations were really for the purpose of trying to save a dowry for Liu Xi when his physical strength was still available, and it was quite respectable to say that, Liu Tao changed his previous view of him.

This year's Chinese New Year, my parents went to Liangshan Port to replace Lu Run, and the house seemed less deserted when they came.I and Liu Xi are good sisters, so I can't treat her father too coldly.

It was Chinese New Year, and when the New Year's Eve dinner was being prepared, Jin Li's older brother, grandmother, and two sisters-in-law were all invited.They sat at the same table with their father-in-law and mother-in-law, Liu Tao Jinzhang, Liu Xie, father and daughter, and grandpa sat at the same table, Liu Mao and his younger sister Liu Hua sat in the kitchen, and they had already eaten their fill, and it was time for serious meals Instead, I stopped eating. My parents are not at home anyway, so let them play like crazy.Later, the mother-in-law said that there were few people at this table, so she sent Luo Kuihua over to sit with Liu Tao and the others.There are only these two tables of family banquets in the dining room, and the others are in other rooms.

Today there is no grandma Liu Tao and her grandma singing against each other, and Liu Jiaojiao no longer has the confidence to find fault with Wu'er, which made everyone's eyes and ears clear a lot.It's just that the second uncle was stared at by Jinsha and grandma at the next table, and the four hated him to the bone, wishing to see a few blood holes from his body.

The second uncle felt uncomfortable, because, in the one month or so since he took over, in addition to compensating for the loss of merchants' goods and the money for building the second-floor storage yard, there was still more than 1000 taels of silver left, and he took their wharf by chance. , No matter who you change, you will feel unbalanced.The second uncle deliberately didn't look at them afterwards, and just chatted with grandpa about the family.

Later, Liu Xi realized the reason, and moved his seat to block their eyes.Liu Tao secretly praised this younger sister for being sensible, and also kept persuading the second uncle to drink and persuade the food. On the one hand, it was to deliberately anger the four people, and on the other hand, it was to save Liu Xi's face, so that the second uncle became grateful to Liu Tao .

At the wine table, Jin Li's grandmother suddenly announced that Liu Jiaojiao and Xiu'e were pregnant at the same time, and they should both be confinement in August or September of the next year.The whole family cheered, especially the father-in-law and mother-in-law who laughed happily.After the grandma finished telling the good news, she turned to talking about the marriage between Liu Tao and Jin Yang, which should be done as soon as possible. Unfortunately, except for Jin Yang's mother, other people ignored her troubles.

The family banquet was held in a harmonious atmosphere, but Liu Tao quickly discovered the disharmony, that Luo Kuihua sat next to the other side of the golden catfish, and kept adding vegetables to the golden catfish, once or twice. Forget it, three or four times is suspicious.Later, not only did he add vegetables to Jin Yang, but he also stuffed the yolk of a spare rib egg into Jin Yang's mouth, and picked out the crab leg meat with a toothpick and put it on the snack plate in front of Jin Yang.Because Jin Yang likes to eat egg yolks, crab legs, and fish eyes.Liu Tao reckoned that the next step would be to pinch the eyes of the braised carp to Jin Lian.

Sure enough, as Liu Tao thought, a fish eye was cut out of her chopsticks and handed to Jin Li.They are all Jin Yang's favorite food. Did this Luo Kuihua secretly investigate what Jin Yang likes to eat, or did her mother-in-law teach her to do so?Liu Tao estimated that her mother-in-law was more likely to teach her, because it is impossible for two daughters-in-law to be pregnant at the same time, to be diagnosed at the same time, and to be announced at the same time today.

Liu Tao sensed that the danger was approaching, but why did they do this? Who gave her the courage to dare to challenge his position as the future mistress of the Golden Mansion?After thinking about it for a while, Liu Tao understood what her mother-in-law and Grandma Jin Yan meant.She just wanted to give Jin Yang a concubine, not to really compete for her position, but to make her bypass her, marry Jin Yang as soon as possible, and give birth to a grandson and great-grandson for his Jin family, just making excuses.
