Chapter 104: Knowing why today is why

Lujia Village, Lujia Mansion.,ww⊙w.23◇wx.co≤m

Lu Hanchen and Xu Hao sat face to face in the hall, very happy. The Ministry of Rites submitted a request to grant the title of the King of Wu to the imperial palace to the emperor for the title of the chastity archway. Unexpectedly, the emperor approved it.

Lu Hanchen had to repay such a great favor, so he happily agreed to Xu Hao's request and put more water downstream.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Xu Hao looked at the ancient decoration in the house with the charm of the Song Dynasty, and his thoughts had already flown to that era of splendor and economic development.

"It should be that I thank you Lord Xu for your talent. Lord Xu came to the house and shines brightly." Lu Hanchen smiled and picked up the teacup and invited the guests to taste the good tea he had treasured.

Just as the guest and the host were having fun, the Changgong Lu Er ran in with a nervous look on his face and whispered to Lu Hanchen: "Old Master, I have something to report to you."

"What did you run in? Didn't you see a guest here? You don't know the polite things." Lu Hanchen was very puzzled, "You are so sad that you can tell others everything, let alone Lord Xu."

"It's hard to say that the little one is too little." Lu Er pretended to be mysterious and corrected his words, "The little one is not dared to say that."

"Is there anything that is hard to say? You can't say it out loud, I'll make the decision for you." Lu Hanchen disagreed, thinking that it was the quarrels of the people who were quarreling."

"That little guy said it? He really said it."

"Speak quickly."

"Oh. Then I said, don't care, old man, it's Miss Young." Lu Er lowered his head after saying that.

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Hanchen had no idea about his younger daughter.

Lu Er laughed in his heart, lowered his head and said, "She has violated the old master's rules and has hooked up with the young master Lu in the old house and yard."

Xu Hao watched Lu Er hook each other with two fingers, and deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"What?" Lu Hanchen couldn't hold back his face. Unexpectedly, what Lu Erlai reported was actually a scandal about his little daughter. He pointed at him in shock and angrily, "You're talking nonsense!"

The whole person stood up excitedly, as if explaining to the guests and to himself, and said angrily: "My Lu family, such a poetic family, has been passed down for hundreds of years. The family style is like this. When has such an indecent scandal happened? Don't listen to the wind and rain, which ruined my daughter's reputation. Warn you Lu Er. You must have evidence of speaking, otherwise it will be slander."

Lu Er looked innocent and waved his hand and said, "How dare you? But everyone has caught them and is still tied together. The outside has already had a big fuss."

"Where?" Lu Hanchen was shocked, and he couldn't help but disbelieve it. Xu Hao gently put down the teacup and said, "If you say it carefully, how can Miss Lu's family be with others? It must be a misunderstanding."

"Yes, please tell me carefully." Old Master Lu blushed and his heart was overwhelmed. Then Lu Er said, "It's right in the house of Mr. Lu, I don't know what happened. Anyway, everyone was yelling and saying that it would be strictly handled and that it would be sunk. It was said that this was the old rule passed down by our Lu family, the old rule that the old master had implemented not long ago.

Xu Hao's expression immediately became very intriguing, which made Lu Hanchen even more confused. He killed Feng Er from Xiaojia Village not long ago. He was very angry about this. Fortunately, Mr. Xu was reasonable and did not care about it. But this happened?

He didn't know that Xu Hao was thinking that this young man was very good at acting. How many people in the village dared to shout to Shenhe, Lu Hanchen's daughter? It seemed that he honestly responded to the villagers' opinions, but in fact it must be a lie he made up himself.

"It's so great? You, go first, I'll come."

After listening to Lu Er's narration, Lu Hanchen, who was struggling, was hit by five thunders. He was dizzy and said in a shaky manner: "Why is that little villain so shameless? He did such a shameful thing on his back, me, me."

"Mr. Lu, please calm down." Xu Hao pretended to be concerned, knowing very well that Mr. Lu had not said the most critical sentence. You said you were stealing a man, but why did you catch him?

Lu Er took the opportunity to threaten: "Everyone said that you will wait for your old man to uphold justice, and you will not leave." After that, he ran out.

"This?" Lu Hanchen looked over with help, and Xu Hao sighed helplessly: "I really can't help you. I didn't interfere that day, and it's not easy to interfere this time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain to the villagers.

"Oh!" Lu Hanchen had no choice. On that day, Lord Xu did not come forward to plead for the dead ghost Feng Er, which undoubtedly gave him great face. Of course, ethics is the supremacy. But then again, he naturally could not help today, and would not be sprayed to death by the mouths of the Xiaojia Village.

If I had known today, why would I have to go and see what happened? Lu Hanchen had to find out, and asked two gangs to come in to help him, and said weakly: "Please go and take a testimony."

Xu Hao said reluctantly: "Okay."

When the group came out, they saw the people in the village all had strange expressions. Lu Hanchen especially felt that they were laughing at him, meaning that your family also had today?

Everyone had the same goal and headed to Lu Hao's old house. Lu Hanchen was as heavy as water all the way, and he kept praying in his heart, praying that he had recognized the wrong person.

Xu Hao followed him into the gate. It was an old courtyard with a history of at least a hundred years. It was tall and spacious, with exquisite patterns everywhere. Because of the desolation of the family, it also seemed very desolate and dilapidated. Fortunately, there were people living in the house, unlike a haunted house that had not lived in for a long time.

"The old man is here, the old man is here."

There were a group of people inside, all watching a couple having an affair. As expected, two people were wrapped in a sheet on the ground, and they could vaguely distinguish the attractive lines unique to young women.

Lu Hanchen's head became dizzy again, and stopped and signaled the butler to see what was going on, while Xu Hao kept his hands behind his back and said nothing.

The housekeeper carefully squeezed in, lifted up a single corner of the quilt, his eyes were hanging down on the ground, and he immediately turned around and whispered: "Yes, it's the second lady, and the young master Lu in this yard. Master, she only wore a bellyband."

Lu Hanchen's face changed completely, and he was so angry that he was as bright as anger. A young man shouted provocatively: "I caught it in pairs, old man, what do you think?"

"Strictly handle it, sink the river." Several young people shouted.

The atmosphere was aroused, and people looked at Lu Hanchen gloatingly. Among them, Lu Yongfang's uncle was resentful and said deeply: "Of course, it is done according to the rules of Lujia Village and the old man, hehe!"

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves. Everyone remembered a pair of young people who were sunk by the river, and they all said, "Yes, it should sunk by the river."

The form is so thrilling. Lu Hanchen was almost breathless. That was his beloved daughter. However, there was no room for defense at this moment, because obviously the daughter's scandal was true. If she had not been ungrateful, she would have been forcibly tied up. When she heard the old man coming, how could she not shout?

Now this bitch doesn't say a word, and she is ashamed and has nothing to say. There is also Lu Hao who has watched the child who grew up, and his parents die, but he still uses money to support him in his studies. They are really two damn vulgar boys, and two evil beasts cannot protect him.

If you don’t do it strictly, it’s not necessary to say that you have completely lost your old face and the Lu family’s decency in front of Mr. Xu San, can you still speak in the future? You are the defense of ethics in the Lu family village. You must not open a gap from your daughter and lose thousands of miles! The rules of your ancestors and your authority cannot collapse and become a pool of mud that is worth half a word.

Lu Hanchen's thoughts quickly stirred up in his head and made a decision quickly. Then he turned around people's faces with a little desperate gaze. Finally, it fell on the dazzling sheet in the middle, and instantly flashed fierce light. Then only he could hear the trembling voice, "Do as usual!"

"Do as usual. Do as usual!" A cheer sounded from all directions.

Lu Hanchen was helped by someone, nodded at Xu Hao with a wry smile, and walked back slowly, almost unable to even step on his steps. He was crooked and fell.

Xu Hao shook his head and turned around and went back, not having time to waste it on this farce.

He rode back to Xiaojia Village. From a distance, he saw Wang Siliu and his wife whispering. He did not slow down and rushed through the village and headed straight to Huanggu Temple.

Wang Siliu didn't see him and said to his wife: "I heard that the grandmother of the second young master of Mr. Tong's family had been sitting for a month and wanted to buy a girl to serve her and hold a baby for her. The money for ten taels of silver is sold, and three taels of silver a year is not found a suitable candidate."

Although he was gossiping, his wife guessed the score and asked, "Do you want to sell it to be a girl?"

"I just thought about it for a while." Wang Siliu agreed, "Sign up a living contract and be a girl for two years, just redeem it."

The wife said worriedly: "Who doesn't know that the Tong family in the big yard is the most mean to others? Not to mention that the Xu family can't get in even if they squeeze their heads out. The Xue family of Xiao and Xue family have always been famous. Wang Laosan just ran around, but no one wants to go to the Tong family."

"I know, I know." Wang Siliu lit Ye Ziyan, "I'm just talking about it. Unfortunately, those families have not recruited servants recently, and our families have no friendship." Then he sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that a big bull can't be brought back."

The wife suggested, “You can’t borrow ten taels of silver?”

"If you can't do it, you can't do it." Wang Siliu refused, "borrow ten taels, make a profit every month, pay the principal and profit a year, and you can't get rid of the money you have worked hard for a year. I'm afraid it's not enough. Even if the youngest son is a maid for a year, the Tong family will definitely not want to. For the sake of his old neighbors for many years, they will not sell their own silver. They only give a monthly salary of one tael of reward at most. At most, they will add one tael of rewards to four taels of silver. They are still half the difference. They can only endure the pain and borrow money to repay ten taels of silver to barely survive."

The wife said, "Then you won't go to the third master to lend it? You two squat here and smoke all day long, and your relationship is good. Who is the third master? I will give it to you just ten taels, so you don't have to pay it back."

"What do you know about a woman with long hair and short knowledge?" Wang Siliuyi glared at her, "That's why the third master respects me. He can lend me, but is it worth it for a mere ten taels of silver? If our family is in trouble one day, it will be difficult to open their mouths again. Do you think this is the case?"

"Yes." The wife admitted that her husband was right. Human kindness should be used in key places. Xu Sanye is kind and righteous, but what is his identity? Besides, he must know what he is, and he cannot ask for help again and again. The Xu family is not a good house. I have never heard of anyone coming to the door to fight Qiufeng, so he can't even enter the door.
