Chapter 282: A gift from the Zou family

Chapter 282 The Zou family’s gift

Qin Gu Luotian's family lived at the end of the village. This time, the families gathered together to celebrate Qin Sanlang and the others. They did not notify the villagers, but many people in the village still knew about it.

Previously, everyone had only vaguely heard rumors that boys from the Qin family and Luo family had joined the Yamen as errands. Until today, no one in the village dared to be sure that this was true.

 For a time, there was a sensation in the village.

“I have joined the Yamen as an errand. This is a big deal. I am only half an official. We can’t just say nothing. We must quickly pack up and send them gifts!”

 From the front village to the back village, people from the He family and the Lu family, those who wanted to curry favor, all came to give gifts. Before long, the Luo family was packed with people.

Village Chief He felt a headache when he saw so many people, and shouted: "What are you doing? What are you doing? The descendants of the Qin family and the Luo family only have a rest today, and your family has not even had a good meal, and you are here." "

"Village chief, a descendant of the Qin family and the Luo family went to work in the Yamen. This is such a big event. How could you hide it? Logically speaking, the village should set up a running water mat and invite the folks from all over the country to celebrate, so that other people can celebrate it. People in the village know that there is an official family member in our village."

"Lu Tiesheng, what are you, a Lu family member, doing here? Have you forgotten about Lu Zhudan's family? Leave quickly, don't come here to ruin other people's celebration." The He family laughed and wanted to drive away the Lu family.

"Haha, that's right, Lu Tiesheng. Haven't you Lu family always done things based on the Lu Zhudan family's expressions? Why did you come to the Luo family? It's too late to flatter you." The He family burst into laughter and took the congratulatory ones. Several Lu family members laughed so hard that their faces turned red.

Lu Tiesheng shouted: "He Lao Shi, don't stir up dissension here. It is Mr. Lu and his family who are doing the wrong. What does it have to do with the rest of our Lu family?"

The rest of the Lu family nodded: "Yes, it was Mr. Lu's family who committed the crime, and we are innocent."

"Bah, you are so innocent. When Lu Laosan came to grab the tofu recipe, you didn't follow Lu Zhudan to surround the gate of Gu's courtyard and prevent Mr. Kong Cha from taking Lu Laosan away? Now you see the Lu family has been defeated. When I saw that the Qin family and the Luo family were on official business, I came here to show off. Do you want to save some face?" The He family didn't dare to show weakness and kept exposing the bad things the Lu family had done.

Lu Tie turned green with anger and shouted, "We were forced by Mr. Lu."

"Don't make excuses. You've done it before. Get out of here. Don't come here to make yourself uncomfortable." The He family felt proud this time. In the past, when they saw the Lu family, they had to put on a smile and be respectful, because they were afraid of the Lu family. Go and say bad things about them in front of Mr. Lu, so that they can't bear to eat and walk around.

 Now, haha, things are changing.

Seeing that they were making a fuss, Village Chief He hurriedly said: "What are you arguing about? Shut up, are you here to congratulate or to quarrel? You don't have anything visible! Those who are here to congratulate, put down the gifts and hurry up Leave, don’t disturb other people’s celebrations.”

Village Chief He has gained a lot of prestige recently. Seeing that the He family was really angry, they quickly put down the gifts they brought and left one by one.

When the Lu family saw this, they didn't want to wait any longer. They put down their congratulatory gifts, reported their home address, and left.

The Lu family went to give gifts to the Luo family and congratulate the Qin family on the fact that the young man from the Luo family joined the Yamen as an errand, and soon the news reached the ears of the Zou Yuzhen brothers and sisters.

Zou Yuwan said disdainfully: "I'm just a soldier, a small official, not even an official. What's there to celebrate?"

Although he was disdainful, he turned around and told the eldest daughter-in-law Shuan: "Go and take note of all the Lu family members who gave gifts to the Qin family and the Luo family. They are a bunch of grassroots. The Zou family has not yet collapsed, but they dare to curry favor with those families who have fled the country." of."

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Sister-in-law Shuan hurriedly left the Lu family's mansion. Soon she asked which families had sent gifts to the Luo family. She noted these families down and asked Shuan to find Zhang. Niu Zi, take care of them.

In the courtyard of the guest house of the Lu family mansion, Zou Yuzhen sat on a chair and said to his servant: "Go, prepare a second-class gift and send it to the Luo family in my name."

 “Yes.” The boy immediately went to prepare the gift. "Third brother, what are you doing? Do you really want to be friends with those beggars who are fleeing from famine?" Zou Yuwan didn't understand her third brother: "We have suffered a lot because of them."

If it weren't for those families, my aunt would not have been punished, and their brothers and sisters would not have been reprimanded, becoming the laughing stock of the rich households in the Zou Mansion and the county.

Zou Yuzhen said: "Don't worry, we have to make good friends with them first, and then we can kill them in one fell swoop after they let down their guard."

Zou Yuwan’s eyes lit up: “Third brother, are you going to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?”

Zou Yuzhen nodded: "Of course."

If not, do you really think he wants to be friends with those families who fled from famine?

Seeing that Zou Yuzhen had an idea in his mind, Zou Yuwan was not as angry as before. She thought of Aunt Zhong again and asked Zou Yuzhen: "Third brother, is the person named Zhong really pregnant? Can't we let her give birth? Otherwise, he should Go pamper the younger ones and stop loving us siblings."

Zou Xiancheng is getting older. He has never had any new children since he gave birth to her, the fifth lady. Their brother and sister have been favored for many years because of this. It would not be good if another old man appears.

Zou Yuzhen said: "Don't take this little aunt lightly, my aunt will take care of her."

However, that Aunt Zhong is indeed a beauty... Zou Yuzhen remembered meeting her in the yard, and touching her soft figure almost made him lose control.

 Two quarters of an hour later, Zou Yuzhen's servant delivered the congratulatory gift to Luo's house.

When Third Grandpa heard that it was a gift from the Zou family, he frowned and didn't want to accept it at all. However, Mr. Qin accepted it. He looked at the gift and said, "There are three more daggers. Master Zou is interested."

Qin Sanlang came over, looked at the three daggers, and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiang's dagger is broken, these three daggers can just be given to Uncle Jiang."

The boy's face turned a little green and he reminded: "This is what my young master gave to the three young brothers of the Qin family and the Luo family."

How can it be transferred to others?

 Qin Sanlang and Mr. Qin ignored the young man and just took out the gift and talked about who should give this piece of cloth and who should give this piece of leather.

 In a word, they didn’t keep anything the Zou family sent and gave everything away.

 The boy's face was so ugly that he couldn't stay any longer, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.

After the boy left, Third Grandpa frowned and said, "What does the Zou family want to do?"

Mr. Qin said: "No matter what he wants to do? It's all useless, let's just ignore it."

Qin Sanlang comforted the third grandfather: "Don't worry, Jiang County Lieutenant has been keeping an eye on the Zou family. The Zou family had better not do anything bad, otherwise Jiang County Lieutenant will not let the Zou family go."

After hearing this, Third Grandpa finally felt relieved. Seeing that Gu Jinan and the people setting up the stalls were back, he called to everyone: "Let's have a feast. It's getting late. After eating, Sanlang and the others have to rush back to the county town."
