In the next few days, Lu Yuzhu began to get close to the shopkeeper of the Jixiang Shop and gave him all kinds of gifts.

The shopkeeper was annoyed for a few days and finally reported it to Lu Shengcai.

Lu Shengcai then knew that his daughter had done such a thing. He was very annoyed.

He felt a little embarrassed and apologized to the shopkeeper and said a lot of good things. Fortunately, the other party did not want to make it public; otherwise, it would be difficult for Lu Yuzhu to find a marriage partner in the town. Lu Shengcai got furious when he got home. How could his small grocery store get on the big family in the county?

Lu Yuzhu was scolded, but she didn’t listen and looked defiant. “Lowering oneself to marry a wife—why can’t our family marry up?”

Lu Shengcai was furious and immediately turned to find something to enforce the family discipline. However, he was tightly held back by Wu Shi.

After signaling Lu Yuzhu to leave with her eyes, she comforted Lu Shengcai: “There is nothing wrong with the child wanting to marry into a wealthy family. She has her own ideas, and what’s wrong with wanting to fight for them? Who doesn’t want to live a good life? If I hadn’t married you, would I have the good life I have now? Would you have had so many children?”

Lu Shengcai choked. Could he say that the child was wrong to want to live a good life? But was Wu Shi’s situation the same as Yuzhu’s? Thinking about it, it seemed that there was no difference. He also had a wife.

Seeing that Lu Shengcai calmed down, Wu said again, “She is still young and doesn’t know the relationship. She just thought that her saozi knew the other party, so she wanted her saozi to help pass on a message. Who knew that Su Shi refused her, and she had no choice but to find his shopkeeper!”

Lu Shengcai was stunned: “Does the Bocheng’s wife know him?”

“I think she knows him. I heard from Yuzhu that she and Yueru went to buy cakes and ran into them coming out of the backyard together. Later, when she saw that the young master had come to our town, he didn’t look for anyone else but met someone from the Bocheng family. “

There was such a thing? How could Bocheng’s wife know the young master of Jixiang Shop?

The other party was from a high-class family, and the two of them should have no connection.

“Did Yuzhu see it wrong?”

Wu Shi slapped Lu Shengcai hard: “It was broad daylight, and she was not the only one who saw it. It was right in front of the shop door; how could she see it wrong?”

Lu Shengcai put Lu Yuzhu’s matter behind him and was led astray by Wu Shi.

As soon as Su Qingyu came back in the evening, the couple waited for her in the main hall.

“I have met the former shopkeeper Miao of Jixiang Shop a few times. Bocheng took me to buy cakes from her house a few times and told me the origin of Jixiang Shop…”

“Why did Bocheng specifically tell you the origin of Jixiang Shop?” Wu Shi asked.

Su Qingyu glanced at her and said lightly, “Bocheng told me more than just his shop. He told me about all the shops in the town, their origins, and which ones were honest. He explained everything before he left. For example, about Qian Yueru’s father’s cloth shop, he told me that the shopkeeper Qian was henpecked, had several daughters but no sons, and often went out to drink in depression and had to hide it from his wife…”

Lu Shengcai thought of Lu Bocheng; his son really knew every nook and cranny of the town.

“I guess Bocheng was worried and wanted to tell you something.”

Su Qingyu nodded. “Yes, he kept nagging in my ear. He said that the auspicious shop was opened diagonally opposite our house, and we have been old neighbors for many years, so he took me there to meet the shopkeeper Miao. Later, I pointed out some defects in her cakes, so when the young master came, she introduced me to her. The young master thanked me. That’s it. “

Lu Shengcai nodded. He said that the Xu family was one of the most powerful families in the county, so how could Bocheng’s wife know them?

He waved his hand and let Su Qingyu go.

Turning around, he saw Wu Shi staring at Su Qing’an’s back and said loudly, “Yuzhu has no respect for her saozi. You have to talk to her. Bocheng is not here, and we can’t let Bocheng’s wife feel uncomfortable in this house.”

“Yes. I will talk to her.” Wu Shi retracted her gaze.

Then she heard Lu Shengcai say, “You should find a marriage for Yuzhu as soon as possible! She is not sensible, but you must be. If you can’t find one, I will arrange a marriage for her.”

Wu Shi quickly said: “Don’t worry, I’m her mother; how can I not worry about her? “

On the other side, Su Qingyu returned to the room and fell on the bed, feeling bored.

She always felt that she couldn’t fit in with this family. The person who helped her connect with this family left, leaving her alone. Her mother-in-law was not her biological mother, her brother-in-law and sister-in-law didn’t treat her as the eldest sister-in-law, and her father-in-law didn’t say a few words to her for several days.

This home was just like an inn.

Su Qingyu patted the wide bed; it was a bit of a waste for one person to sleep on it. She didn’t know where that person was now. He had to fight for it; don’t die so soon; at least he had to see the child. Su Qingyu touched her belly and fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, the man she was thinking about was dividing the spoils with several of his men.

After the fall, the camp took all the new recruits out for training and performed some small tasks. No matter how much training, it was not as good as actual combat. A knife must be sharpened to play its role, and since you were a soldier, you must see blood.

Because Lu Bocheng had some martial arts skills, a smart mind, and a good sense of change, he was entrusted with an important task by his superiors to burn the enemy’s food and grass.

In the middle of the night, he took four of his men, wrapped in black, and hid outside the enemy’s camp until most of the night. After feeding the mosquitoes, he thought the enemy was asleep, so he sneaked in and set the fire.

After setting the fire, he did not run away but took his men to hide aside to prepare to pick up some other credits.

Later, he saw a big tent, and the people inside jumped out. Seeing that it was the leader, he sneaked into the tent quietly. After searching in the tent for a long time, he did not find any drawings or letters, so he set another fire in anger.

Before leaving, he also took the valuables from the tent.

After returning, he handed them in as usual. But there was an unwritten rule in the camp that whoever found the gold and silver spoils would own them.

Lu Bocheng, a new soldier, did not dare to put them in his own pocket, so he handed them all in. Later, a dagger and a tiger skin were kept by his superiors, and the gold and silver were returned to him.

Lu Bocheng did not want to eat alone, so he took the four soldiers under him to divide the spoils.

“This jade ring is nice. If the sergeant doesn’t want it, I will take it!”

Goudan grabbed it in his hand and rubbed it on his clothes again and again. He didn’t understand the waterhead or anything like that, but he thought it was green and more beautiful than all the jade he had seen.

“Take it, take it.” Lu Bocheng didn’t care at all, he just picked up a few gold ingots and put them in his arms.

Soon the spoils were divided.

“Sergeant, why do you always only take gold ingots? Aren’t pearls and jade more valuable than gold ingots?”

“Yes, this pearl of mine is blue; I think it will be very valuable.”

Everyone didn’t understand why the Sergeant only took gold whenever he had made greater contributions than them. Could gold have some other functions that they didn’t know about? Could it make people immortal? Should they also take gold next time?

Seeing Goudan’s eyes rolling around and his face full of doubts, Lu Bocheng knew what he was thinking! He slapped him hard: “What are you thinking about? Do you think gold can lay eggs?”

“No.” Goudan shook his head honestly.

Lu Bocheng just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say: “I wonder if it can make people immortal. Otherwise, why does Sergeant only take gold every time.”

“Fuck your immortality!” Lu Bocheng leaned over and wanted to hit him, but he dodged.

“What else? You don’t want jade, but you pick up gold.”

“What’s so good about jade? My wife doesn’t like it.”

“Ah? So it’s my sister-in-law who likes gold?”

“Yes.” Lu Bocheng touched the pieces of gold again and again.

“Then we will leave all the gold we pick up to the sergeant.”

“Yes. Leave it all to the sergeant.”

“Okay. Leave all the gold to me, and the rest to you.”

From then on, everyone in the camp knew that Lu Bocheng’s wife liked gold, and people often brought gold to him to exchange for other trophies. His superiors also rewarded him with gold.

Lu Bocheng smiled as he counted the gold in the pit, and his mouth widened as he thought about how happy his wife would be when she got the gold.

It was a pity that Su Qingmei didn’t know. If she knew, she would have to give him two words: Not really! And an extra roll of the eyes.
