Lin Fang cocked his neck, and said, "No way! Xiaoshu is so good, I just like her!"
Lu Qi was stunned for a while, then grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth, "Are you kidding me!"
"I mean it!" Lin Fang was taken aback by his sudden reaction, and hurriedly said, "I really like her! Is it okay? Ah Qi, we are brothers, you have to —”
"No!" Lu Qi shouted angrily.
"Why not?" Lin Fang was displeased, and said, "You just said—"
Lu Qi thought to himself, that's why I didn't know you had such thoughts! Then he interrupted him and said: "It's not right that your family is not in the same family as ours. You are the old son of your parents, and your parents love you so much, can they let you marry Xiaoshu? Or, hum, you want to take her as a concubine , don’t even think about it! Besides, with Xiaoshu’s temper, do you expect her to live the life of a young mistress without leaving the door of your house? Let’s save it!”
Lu Qi was a little annoyed, and anxiously said, "You, you, let me tell you what you want! You obviously didn't care about her like this before, why did you change all of a sudden!"
Lu Qi sighed softly, his expression softened all of a sudden, and he said with a rather leisurely fascination: "I didn't realize my heart in the past, but now I understand it, maybe, hehe, I already Do you like her?"
Lu Qi choked on his words and his awkward expression, and stared at him blankly, speechless.
"As for my family," Lin Fang smiled and said indifferently: "You can rest assured! I have an elder brother and a second elder brother, and they are responsible for everything. Anyway, I don't care about anything, and I have no responsibility! My parents love me the most. You won't have the heart to let me do something I don't like! I marry Xiaoshu, of course I'm a wife, with her temperament, do you think she can be a concubine?"
Lu Qi gave him a white look.
Lin Fang salivated and smiled, patted Lu Qi on the shoulder and begged, "Brother, we have been friends since we were young, don't you know how I am?"
Lu Qi snorted, "I don't know!"
Lin Fang stopped, and continued persistently: "You should know me well, how could I let Xiaoshu down?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Qi said: "I don't know you, at least I don't know when you fell in love with Xiaoshu!"
Although Lu Qi said so, his tone softened a lot. He can still trust Lin Fang's character.
Lin Fang couldn't help being aggrieved, and said, "We are brothers, so you can't help me? Don't tell me, you like Xiaoshu too? Hey, hey, hey—"
"Hey, hey," Lu Qi was so angry that he punched him, and said angrily, "She's my younger sister, not a child bride!"
Lu Qi rubbed his shoulders and muttered, "I was about to say that too..."
Lu Qi tilted his head and stared at him silently.
Seeing that he was moved, Lin Fang hurriedly flattered him with nice words, saying all kinds of good things.
Lu Qi had a headache from teaching him to stir up trouble, and he said in a bad mood: "Forget it, you can handle it yourself! I can warn you, this matter can't cause a storm in the city, hum, if it doesn't work out in the future, Xiao Shu will have to marry ! Also, she is still young, you can't mess around, or I won't spare you! Also, if Xiaoshu doesn't like you, you can't keep pestering her!"
"That's natural!" Lin Fang agreed with all his mouth, and his heart was full of joy.
At least, you don't have to be so sneaky in the future!
Lin Fang wholeheartedly approached Lu Xiaoshu, trying to flatter and flatter Lu Qi. Lu Qi was worried, so he no longer forbade Lu Xiaoshu from entering the city. He felt that it was better to have himself watching from the sidelines.
Lu Xiaoshu was very happy, and felt that it was his brother who hurt him! Lin Fang was not very happy, but he had no choice but to let his brothers and sisters be together, right? And what made him even more depressed was that that little girl Xiaoshu, no matter how he behaved, still didn't have the slightest thought in this regard!
Lin Fang encouraged himself: It's all right, as long as she gets used to having herself by her side, when she grows up in the future, how can she still look up to others? So he let go of his eagerness and continued the infiltration work calmly.
Lu Zhong's legs and feet are inconvenient, and Miao Cuilan will never let him go to the field. Although Miao Chuhe is a labor force in his prime, he is now a Juren, and Miao Cuilan is also determined not to let him go to the field. Therefore, this year's late autumn harvest The family was extremely busy at work, so they hired a lot of short-term workers to help, and it took them a long time to finally explain clearly.
In a blink of an eye, they were plowing the fields in winter, sowing wheat, planting autumn vegetables and winter vegetables, busy curing cured fish and bacon, and making all kinds of tofu until the end of the year.
On New Year's Day, it snowed a lot, and there was a lot of bustle and laughter inside and outside the house. There were Miao Cuilan and Tong Yu'er, sister Lu Xiaoshu didn't need to help, so she took Jin'er to watch the snow on the porch to amuse him.
Lu Xiaoshu didn't expect Lin Fang to come in the snow, and said with a smile that he came to Lu Qi to talk about something.
Lu Qi knew it well, so he gave him an angry look.
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help clapping his hands and chuckling, jokingly said: "You have so much to say to my brother, and today's Chinese New Year is so heavy and it's snowing so much that you came to our house!"
"Who told him to have a bad memory and be impatient? There's nothing he can do about it!" Lu Qi said half-sarcastically.
"What are you talking about! Quickly pour a cup of hot tea and greet them with some fruit. You guys, brother and sister, can't stop talking! Lin Fangfang has come all the way, and he's still talking like this!" Miao Cuilan gave them a sharp look. , and smiled to tell Lin Fang not to mind.
Lin Fang quickly got up and smiled politely, "No problem!"
Miao Cuilan couldn't help praising: "Look at Lin Fang, he's so polite and sensible! Hey, he's much better than our Aqi!"
Lu Qi rolled his eyes and looked at the sky.
Lin Xinxin was naturally happy, and his mouth became more and more humble. After sitting casually in the room for a while, he asked Lu Qi to go out to talk, and gave Lu Xiaoshu a wink.
Lu Xiaoshu followed out wondering.
When Lin Fang saw her coming, he couldn't help but put Lu Qi aside, his eyes followed Lu Xiaoshu involuntarily, and he said with a smile: "By the way, there will be an extremely lively temple fair at the Town God's Temple on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I heard that there will be There are a lot of juggling troupes from other places coming to perform, and there will be a lot of novel gadgets for sale, do you want to go and have fun together?"
Lu Xiaoshu's eyes lit up first, and he said pleasantly: "Temple fair? Is it really going to be so lively?" In other words, she has never seen a grand temple fair in this era. Since Lin Fang can make a special trip to talk about it, it must be It is not small.
"Of course! The weather is good this year, and my lord is happy, so I have organized this temple fair with all the gentry, rich men, and major merchants. It is also meant to have fun with the people! Xiao Shu, you must go too? I will pick you up when the time comes !" Seeing Lu Xiaoshu's interest, Lin Fang was about to fly.
"Okay, okay!" Lu Xiaoshu had just agreed, and when he came back to his senses, he turned to look at his brother, tugged at his sleeve and said with a flattering smile, "Brother, it's so lively, of course I have to go and have a look!"
She thought to herself, fortunately, she just sold two more paintings a while ago, making a fortune, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about not having enough money to spend.
Lu Qi replied with a "hum".
Only then did Lin Fang realize that he came to Lu's house with the excuse of looking for Lu Qi, so he touched his head and smiled, and said to Lu Qi: "I came here on purpose to tell you, Ah Qi will definitely go yes, right?"
"That's right," Lu Qi said a little strangely: "Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to make a trip, and you said it on purpose!" Xin said, you have the nerve to say it! Seeing my girl Xiaoshu, you probably won't even remember who you are, alas, it's hopeless!
Lin Fang didn't mind Lu Qi's face at all, and said with a smile: "Then it's settled, I'll pick you up early! By the way, there is also a cockfight competition! I heard that the winner will get five hundred taels of silver." It's a lottery! I'll come early, let's get a good seat!"
Lu Qi thought to himself, you came earlier, didn't you just think about my Xiaoshu? Hmph, take a good seat? You Lin family still need to occupy a good position? Who dares to fight with you!
Lu Xiaoshu nodded with a smile, enviously said: "Cockfighting Conference? It's very exciting to hear! Oh, what a pity, if only we had a fighting cock..."
Lu Xiaoshu felt very sorry, and knew that at this time, there was no way to get a fighting cock no matter what.
How could Lin Fang watch her disappointed? Immediately, he patted his chest and said, "Xiaoshu, do you like fighting cocks? Well, I will find a way to get one! Maybe we can still compete for the first place!"
"Really! That's great!" Lu Xiaoshu's eyes lit up and she was surprised and happy. She still had no doubts about the connections and abilities of the Lin family, and she couldn't help but admire from the bottom of her heart: "You are really capable!"
Lin Fang was proud and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I will definitely find the best one, and I will fight for the first one!"
"En!" Lu Xiaoshu giggled.
Seeing her laughing, Lin Fang laughed too, and secretly made up his mind that he must keep his word and do it...
When Lu Qi saw it, he felt secretly funny, and thought to himself, you can brag, I have never seen you raising fighting cocks, and then we will see how you lie...
Lin Fang couldn't stay for too long, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first! I'll pick you up then! Be sure to wait for me at home, the tenth day of the first lunar month!"
"Don't worry! We must wait!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled, watching Lu Qi send him out.
On the carriage back, Cricket saw the young master smirking happily and couldn't help pouring cold water: "Where can the young master find a fighting cock that can compete for the first place? I'm afraid everyone has heard the news by now? Even if the young master is willing to pay a high price." , those people who really play cockfights, who would miss this grand event and this honor... "
Before Cricket finished speaking, he was stared back by his master and said calmly, "Uh, I didn't say anything when I was a slave."
But in my heart, I was quite gloating, so I should! Who told you to be so preoccupied with how to please Miss Lu and how to ask Miss Lu to come out to play? You didn't know until the news spread almost everywhere! If I knew about it earlier, I'm afraid I could have done something in advance!
