Chapter 44: The second visit to Chenjiazhuang
Chapter 44: Dutou Second Visits Chenjiazhuang
The next day, Luzhu cleaned up and stopped. Zheng Tu indeed took her, called a rushing handlebar, and called two servants to go together. After being released from the door, Wu Er hurried over and crossed his hands at Zheng Tu and said, "Brother, what's the matter to me? Just give me the order."
Zheng Tu nodded and pulled Wu Er to the side and said with his ears: "I will go to the Chenjiazhuang this time. From today on, you can follow your plan."
Wu Er agreed and said goodbye and went to make arrangements. Zheng Tu got on the carriage. Luzhu should avoid the stranger and had already hid in the carriage. Seeing Zheng Tu coming up, he couldn't help but raise his lips and pointed at the pile of gifts in the carriage and said angrily: "Dad, you have to pay for money again, what are you buying? The gifts last time were good, and my spendthrift brother sold them out, and he only gambled outside to drink, which disappointed my father's thoughts."
"You will be my little lady in the Zheng family in the future, and it is worth it to spend some money." Zheng Tu was not guilty and directly agreed to Luzhu's identity.
The Luzhu was shocked when he heard this and was secretly happy. Little mother? But it was not the place where his wife was? He saw that he was as excited as Rui Niang. He couldn't help but hold Zheng Tu's hand tightly in his arms, rubbing his breasts that had not yet been greasy, and said in a silly way: "Dad lifting Luzhu is a blessing for Luzhu, I'm afraid - I'm afraid of the aunt-"
Zheng Tu couldn't help but smile, then reached out and pinched Luzhu's face and smiled, "You little chewy, you know the thoughts of those squanders. Since your aunt promised you, she naturally wouldn't care what I gave you. Just be content with your gratitude."
Luzhu got this guarantee and said "moan", his whole body was so soft that he collapsed in Zheng Tu's arms without bones. He was nagging, vague, but it seemed like he was chanting scriptures.
"What is this?"
"Slave - slave - is so happy that his heart is beating anxiously. I want to thank Guanyin Bodhisattva-" Luzhu said softly.
Zheng Tu couldn't help laughing: "Little Rouer, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not responsible for marriage. But don't you miss the Moon Master in that heaven?"
Luzhu said shyly: "A few days ago, I followed my aunt to Guanyin Temple in the city and only asked me for it. While my aunt made a wish, Luzhu also secretly made this wish, but she never thought that today, my father would fulfill my slave--the slave family. But wasn't I going to be grateful to the Bodhisattva?"
"But I don't miss your father?" Zheng Tu pinched his face as smooth as greasy and smiled, "Those Bodhisattvas can't count them. My father wants you. How can Bodhisattvas compare to your father? Don't go to the Guanyin Temple another day."
Luzhu stood up with a sudden inspiration, spat at her side several times before saying angrily: "Namo Amitabha, the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, my father was just now in a bad mood and confused, and he could not count the words he said. You are very compassionate, and don't care about the words of confused people." He recited a few words of Buddha and said only some words to forgive his sins.
Zheng Tu saw Luzhu's face standing aside, looking serious, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he was grateful to her like this, so he didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at her. When she finished her praying secretly, she stretched out her hand and held her in her arms.
Not to mention that the carriage was leaning against the green and red, the fragrance flowed. After walking for a long time, it arrived in front of the old house of Luzhu's house in Chenjiazhuang. This incident naturally attracted many people from the neighbors. However, Zheng Tu sent someone to inform Chen Laoshi first, so Chen Laoshi was able to prepare and face him early in front of the door.
Although the neighbors wanted to make some friendship with Zheng Tu, they felt fear in their hearts and did not dare to go forward. They just waited around. When Zheng Tu got out of the car, the two servants looked at Chen Laoshi's house to unload the gifts, their eyes shone.
Chen Houshi could see clearly that the gift included cloth, pork, game, pastries, and a heavy small box. I was afraid that there was money in it. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I've paid for it again. I also sent some goods a few days ago, but I haven't finished using it yet!"
"You can keep some silver. Sooner or later, just don't refuse!" Zheng Tu nodded and smiled, and walked in first.
Although Chen Laoshi said this, he kept directing the servant to carry things from Wangliu. After entering the house, Zheng Tu called Luzhu and Chen Laoshi in. The young man from the Chen family also came back from drinking and gambling outside. When he saw the neighbors outside the house and saw the carriage, he knew who was coming. So he hurried in and said to Zheng Tu, "The great official is here, the little guy is here!" He said without hesitation, and lay on the ground and kowtowed twice.
Luzhu looked around and frowned. Zheng Tu didn't care at all and smiled, "I was thinking about not seeing you, but I came." Just as I was about to talk, the room was a little narrow, and the outsider surrounded me and refused to disperse. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "This room is so small. In a few days, I'll send someone to repair it, so it's so spacious."
Chen Laoshi was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly shouted at the Chen family queen: "Damn beast, don't you go to cook on the fire, cook some pork game, and warm some wine. The official must be hungry after most of the journey of the day."
The young man muttered a few times, and did not dare to stubbornly talk in front of Zheng Tu, so he found the pork game sent by Zheng Tu in the house, and went to cook without mentioning it. Seeing this, Lu Zhu was afraid that the young man would not do it clean, so he also went to help, leaving Zheng Tu and Chen Laoshi to speak in the main hall.
Seeing that everyone was surrounded, it was not a big deal, Zheng Tu went out to meet with the neighbors. He also asked the servant to sprinkle some copper coins outside, and the crowd snatched them for a while before they dispersed. Zheng Tu returned to the house and couldn't help but say in surprise: "How can these neighbors be so kind?"
"Heart-hearted?" Chen Houshi sneered, "It's just that I heard that the great official wanted to buy this farm and would have a familiar face in front of the great official earlier, so I would be more attentive in the future. How could I be so enthusiastic?"
Zheng Tu was stunned and looked at Chen Houshi and said, "Is this what you said?"
Seeing that Zheng Tu seemed a little unhappy, Chen Hushi hurriedly said, "This is not my business. It was my damn beast who was gambling outside. He lost. He said it when he was rude. It must be a bit effective. Although he still owes money from the gambling house, he doesn't dare to force it too much."
While the two were talking, Luzhu brought out two large bowls of cooked pork, two bowls of wild game and warmed wine and brought them up. Zheng Tu invited the Chen family queen and Luzhu to serve them together. Luzhu did not move, and the Chen family queen could not stand it. She sat up long ago and only picked up fat meat and poked it.
"Since you said these words, I believe you mentioned this matter to Mr. Chen?" After eating a few bowls of wine, Zheng Tu then turned to the topic.
"But I mentioned it, but Mr. Chen had never seen it before. He ate his slaves and beat him out, and there was a scar on his legs!" Chen said honestly, rolling up his trouser legs, revealing a scar like an earthworm. Luzhu, who was watching, frowned.
"Have you ever mentioned my name?"
"After mentioning it, Chen Yuanwai only said that even the title of the magistrate was not useful. He inherited the fields of his ancestors and dared not sell them. If anyone with no eyes comes back, he will only recognize his stick and beat them together!" Chen Laoshi waved his legs in front of Zheng Tu, but he looked like he was trying to find credit.
Zheng Tu nodded and said, "But I don't know that that guy is so vicious, it just makes you suffer. After a while, it's a matter of finding someone who is right, sending some medicine money, and also recovering from his injuries."
Chen Laoshi hurriedly thanked him and said a lot of words of gratitude.
"I'm afraid I'll bother you for a while!"
"The great official just needs to control himself, but he is afraid that he will be simple and negligent!" Chen Laoshi agreed naturally.
At the moment, Luzhu had a full meal, and he fryed a bowl of rice in the kitchen and came out. When it was too late, Luzhu made another bed in the room inside, and naturally he had the same room as Zheng Tu.
"My father takes care of his family like this, I'm afraid that my father will be unlucky and will become more aggressive in the future. He will ask for excessive force from his father. It will be so annoying!" Luzhu snuggled in Zheng Tu's arms, staring at the jumping candlelight and said.
"Your father hurt his leg after eating people, so he naturally has to give preferential treatment." Zheng Tu smiled, "I said a while ago that sooner or later, why bother to mind like this?"
Luzhu no longer made a sound, but just closed his eyes slightly, curled up in Zheng Tu's arms like a cat. Zheng Tu smelled the faint fragrance and couldn't help but smile: "Your mind is too sensitive, okay, I have something to do tomorrow. Just take care of you at home, and I will also visit Mr. Chen. Let's see what kind of vicious person he is."
After saying this, no one agreed for a while. He was stunned and slightly pressed his ears into it, but heard the sound of Luzhu's slightly heavier breathing. It turned out that this girl was enjoying the warmth in her arms and had already fallen asleep. She couldn't help but shake her head and smiled slightly. She pulled the thin quilt and wrapped her body up.
The next day, Luzhu naturally served Zheng Tu to wash and finish his meal. After Chen Laoshi led the way, Zheng Tu and two servants went to Chen Yuanwai's mansion in Nei Zhuangzi.
From a distance, I saw that there was a bit of atmosphere at Chen Yuanwai's house. The two stone lions in front of the door were about a thousand pounds. Chen Laoshi got out of the car and beat Chen Yuanwai last time. Although he was still scared, Zheng Tu was right beside him and had a little courage. He went forward, knocked on the door knocker at the closed door, and shouted: "Can Chen be at home?"
With a creaking sound, the door was halfway open, and a man like an iron tower was exposed. Seeing that it was Chen Laoshi, he couldn't help but say angrily: "You guy dares to come? You don't have to discount your legs, it's already a favor from the official.
Teacher Chen smiled and said, "It's not what I want to come, but my high-ranking official is coming to make friends with Mr. Chen. I hope you can report it."
"Who is your high-ranking official?" The disciple looked up and down at Zheng Tu, but still refused to let Zheng Tu in.
Chen Laoshi smiled and said, "My son, I'm not afraid to tell you. This is Zheng Daguanren, who is known to everyone in Weizhou City. " Chen Laoshi laughed and waited for the disciple to invite Zheng Tu and go in by himself. However, he didn't expect that the disciple suddenly shouted, turned around and ran inside, and shouted loudly while running: "Extreme, great. That guy is here!"
