Shopkeeper Yi Da's eyes dimmed, and he sighed silently in his heart, but he didn't tell his daughter anything, he just said: "This is my idea and your mother's, I asked the young master last night, the young master also agreed, and told my father 'Congratulations', let us arrange the marriage for you properly, and he will give you a big gift when the time comes, so that you can gain some face in your husband's house!"
Shopkeeper Yi Da really couldn't bear to hit his daughter. It wasn't he who took the initiative to find the young master last night, but the young master took the initiative to find him.
The young master said it very euphemistically, but the meaning is very clear. Even though he has been back to Zhuangzi for a while now, he has stabilized and basically understands all kinds of affairs in Zhuangzi. he. But now if Alan is allowed to do the work of a slave by his side again, he will feel really sorry and can't bear it.
So, let Alan go back. She is not young anymore. It is time to find a good family to discuss marriage. After staying by my side for a long time, although I have a clear conscience with her, I can't control the suspicion of outsiders. Because of this, her reputation was damaged, and he would have no face to see their father and daughter!
Shopkeeper Yi Da also had the idea of finding an excuse to call Yi Xiaolan back, so instead of feeling uncomfortable after hearing Zhou Shizhi's words, he felt like he was sleepy and sent a pillow. Fan, he fully agreed.
So, he called Yi Xiaolan back.
Shopkeeper Yi Da secretly made up his mind, so he asked his wife to carefully search for other people, and after the next year, she must make a final decision on her daughter's marriage, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!
Originally, he had no intention of marrying his daughter to the young master as a concubine, but now that he has learned of the young master's wishes, it is even more impossible for him to be willing. I hope this girl is just confused at the beginning of love.
Yi Xiaolan was stunned when she heard her father's words, her face was frighteningly pale.
"No! Impossible! Young Master won't treat me like this!" Yi Xiaolan no longer cared about being reserved, and she shed tears as soon as she spoke.
"You!" The shopkeeper Yi Da was so angry that his chest was blocked, and he said coldly with a flick of his sleeves: "You really don't know what to say! If a girl said such a thing, how would people think of you? How would they think of your father and me? We The girl from the Yi family is so shameless!"
Shopkeeper Yi Da sneered and said: "You don't have to think about it anymore! I am your father, can I still lie to you? You stay at home honestly, if you dare to step out of this yard, you will no longer be me Someone Yi's daughter!"
Shopkeeper Yi Da then turned his head and told his wife: "Take care of Alan, don't let her run out! If she is disobedient, simply lock her in the room!" He said angrily and left.
Hearing her father's unfeeling words, Yi Xiaolan began to cry in shame, shame and annoyance, and ran into her room, laying down on the pillow and crying loudly.
Mrs. Yi couldn't bear it, but she also knew her husband's painstaking efforts. She stepped forward and patted her daughter's back to comfort and coax her, but every word she said was to persuade her to listen to her father, which made Yi Xiaolan angry and annoyed , can't hear it at all.
I thought in my heart: Master would definitely not treat me like this, it must be instigated by that damn girl Lu Xiaoshu! Otherwise, why did the young master do this after she came? right! It must have something to do with her!
The more Yi Xiaolan thought about it, the more aggrieved and annoyed she became, she slowly stopped crying, but a thought secretly turned in her heart.
How could she be willing to ask Lu Xiaoshu to make such calculations behind her back? She seemed to have seen Lu Xiaoshu standing in the dark with his arms akimbo laughing triumphantly, how could she make her happy!
Zhou Shizhi secretly called luck. When he tactfully said these words to the shopkeeper Yi Da, the shopkeeper Yi Da’s expression was startled, and then although he held it respectfully, the joy flashed across his eyes. It didn't escape his gaze.
He couldn't help secretly rejoicing, maybe the shopkeeper Yi Da already knew about it and was worrying about it! He took the initiative to bring it up, so it can be seen that it is a good thing.
Fortunately, Xiaoshu is here...
Zhou Shizhi thought to himself.
It snowed heavily within two days, and when I opened the door, it was covered in white and silver.
Although Lu Xiaoshu had seen snow when he was in Maple Leaf Village, there is still a difference between the snow in the southwest and the snow in the north. The snow in the southwest is wetter and contains moisture, while the snow in the north is drier. It falls lightly on the palm, powdery when stepped on the ground, and falls in lumps and flutters all over the sky, unlike Like the one in the southwest, it becomes a lump of ice when pinched.
"What a beautiful snow! The snow in the north is really beautiful!" The sun shone down, and the snow was covered with a soft golden color, which seemed to have a faint pink color.
Xiaozhu, the maid who came over to serve her, couldn't help pursing her lips and said with a smile: "Miss Lu has never seen her before, so she thinks it's new, but the slaves don't think it's a big deal when they are used to seeing her every year! Miss Lu, come in quickly, in case the cold How can it be good if it is broken!"
"It's okay, you don't need to worry about me!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I haven't seen it before, so don't look at it enough! Besides, I'm not that delicate!"
Xiaozhu couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling after hearing this, and said, "Miss Lu is really funny!"
The two were chatting and laughing when they saw Zhou Shizhi stepping in from the outside wearing a sable cloak. Seeing this, he said with a smile, "Why are you so happy! Xiaoshu, do you want to go out and ride a horse? The weather is just right!"
"Okay!" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "I was thinking about finding something to entertain me, so you came here! This is a good idea, let's go now!"
Zhou Shizhi nodded with a smile, Lu Xiaoshuxi went back to the house and asked Xiao Zhu to help him get the cloak, changed into knee-length buckskin snow boots, and went with Zhou Shizhi.
The two rode their horses out of Zhuangzi and walked towards the back of the mountain. The horseshoes kicked up the snow powder all over the ground, but they saw that the mountains were all white and the trees were like frost. One after another, stretching to the distance, vast and atmospheric.
Standing in the middle, two small figures of people and horses of different colors seem to be housed in crystal clear glass bottles.
The mountain wind blows head-on, and the thick cloak bulges and flutters behind him. Lu Xiaoshu opens his arms, closes his eyes to face the wind, giggles, takes a breath of the cold air, and feels a chill in his lungs. , but it makes people feel an indescribable boldness.
"This place is so beautiful! I really like this place! Your ancestors really had a good eye for choosing such a good place!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled brightly at him.
Zhou Shizhi kept watching her from the sidelines, and smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Do you like this place? When I become the master of the house in the future, I will give you this valley forest and Qilin Qianzhuang, okay?"
"Really?" Lu Xiaoshu blinked his big black eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay! Just for your words, I will definitely help you to the end, help you become a family as soon as possible, and become a successful person." host!"
Zhou Shizhi laughed loudly, and with his legs clamped on the belly of the horse, he approached Lu Xiaoshu and stood side by side. He leaned over and whispered, "Don't you want to see those treasures? I'll take you to see them."
"Can you-?" Lu Xiaoshu was overjoyed and hesitated, and said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it. Anyway, we can see each other in the future!"
"Of course it's convenient." Zhou Shizhi smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen those treasures since they were shipped back. Let's go and have a look today. I want to pick a few and keep them as thoughts. Help me take a look... "
Although they are all priceless treasures, keeping them in his hands is just a commemorative meaning and appreciation value, and he needs money right now, so he has to break them up and sell them off.
Lu Xiaoshu knew that he was definitely reluctant to give up, so he quickly comforted him: "Money is something outside of the body, if you spend it now, with your ability, you will definitely be able to earn it back in the future!"
Zhou Shizhi suppressed a smile and nodded, "You're right! Let's go!"
Zhou Shizhi rode his horse in front, and Lu Xiaoshu followed closely behind. He didn't know how far he had traveled. He got off his horse, patted the two horses to let them go away freely, and led Lu Xiaoshu into a lush and tall forest. forest.
After traveling through the forest for half an hour, they came to a cliff with a mechanism on the wall. Zhou Shi stepped forward to open it, and said to Lu Xiaoshu: "Only Uncle Du and Uncle Xue know how to open this secret cave. Safety."
"Will we leave footprints on the way here?" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but said.
Zhou Shizhi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are those two horses making trouble outside, and the footprints in the forest are not easy to find, and besides, the snow powder will fill up the tracks when the wind blows, and no one will come here in this weather. "
Lu Xiaoshu looked back subconsciously, and sure enough, the footprints behind him were almost covered by the snow powder blown by the wind. She couldn't help thinking to herself, fortunately this is in the north, if it's in the south, the snowflakes are heavy and wet, so it can't be the case.
Zhou Shizhi led her into the secret cave, lit up the torches, and the two of them walked straight to the hinterland amidst the echo of trampling.
The chiseling marks on the cave wall are shallow, and under the dim light, the cave appears tall and clean.
After zigzagging for a while, turning a corner, in the large stone room in front of them, there were sixteen large wooden boxes that they had known each other.
When we met each other, although the situation at that time was not pleasant, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help cheering "Yeah", stepped forward and patted the big wooden box, feeling a little kind.
Zhou Shizhi smiled slightly, took the oil pot on the side, poured some oil into several lamps on the wall, lit it, and the room was instantly brightened.
He blew out the fire pocket and put it in his arms, pointed to the two boxes in the distance and said with a smile: "Those two boxes are filled with gold, nothing rare. Among the dozen or so boxes left, you can see what you like. Pick a few! You don’t have to worry about it, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be able to find these boxes.”
Lu Xiaoshu was right when he thought about it, he struggled for a moment and couldn't resist such a temptation, so he nodded with a smile and said: "Then I won't be polite! Hee hee, if I pick something eye-catching, don't be embarrassed to say it! "
If you take an iconic imperial gift and go out, you will be watched by the court from now on, and you will have nowhere to cry!
"Naturally!" Zhou Shizhi smiled. Unless that part of the things can be seen in the light of his identity in the future, it is doomed to be invisible, and he can't even sell it. How could he let her pick it up and provoke him? disaster
