There are many guests today. The Lu family's house in the village is an ordinary brick house with a courtyard. It is usually very spacious for the family to live in, but today there are many guests, and it is obviously a little cramped.
There is no way to separate the seats for men and women, so everyone’s seats are arranged in the hall, and then a simple screen is used to indicate it.
Originally, if there were only people in the village, there would be no need for a screen. We are not that particular about it, but because some officials are carefree, we can only make some excuses.
It is also because of this that both men and women can actually see the scene opposite each other clearly, and they can even talk about the same topic together.
Then, Liu Yuexiang saw Lu Xiaoyang going out with a jug of wine, and did not come back for a long time.
She hesitated for a moment, then got up and went out.
"Miss Liu, do you want to go to the toilet? My maid can lead the way."
As soon as she left the house, a little maid came up to ask. Liu Yuexiang shook her head and said, "It's okay. I just want to walk by myself."
The little maid responded gently, just pointed the direction to her, and then stood still.
Liu Yuexiang really wanted to go to the toilet, so she ignored Lu Xiaoyang and solved her personal problems first.
When I arrived at the Lu family’s thatched cottage, I was really surprised. This thatched cottage was completely different from other thatched cottages. It was made of bricks. It was very clean and even had no smell.
If it weren’t for the small wooden sign indicating a latrine hanging at the door, she would have thought she had gone astray.
There is a tank of water next to it. There is a gourd and ladle in the water. There is a line of small words written in paint on the tank: Flush after going to the toilet.
Liu Yuexiang did as she was told. There was a small table not far away, with a wooden sign hanging on the side and three words written on it: sink.
There is a stone basin with a hole in the bottom placed on the platform. A small stream of running water is introduced by a bamboo pole, and then drained out through the hole in the bottom.
There is a bronze mirror hanging on the wall opposite the sink, so you can see your upper body when washing your hands.
Liu Yuexiang saw in the mirror that her dress was a little wrinkled and her bun was a little crooked. She hurriedly straightened it out in the mirror and felt much more presentable in an instant. Then she reluctantly left the hut.
She decided that when she got home, she would ask her father to find someone to repair one exactly like it!
She was preoccupied with repairing the hut. If she hadn't seen Lu Xiaoyang drinking alone on the road, she would have almost forgotten the purpose of coming out.
Fortunately, it’s not too late!
Everyone is happy on this great day.Just Lu Xiaoyang was drinking alone outside, which made people think too much.
Is it possible that Lu Xiaoyang also likes lotus flowers?
It’s no wonder that the children of the Lu family are all raised together, but Lianhua is not related to them by blood. She is so good-looking and outstanding. If she were also a man, she would definitely like Lianhua.
"Brother Little Yang... Hehe, it's a bit weird to call you Young Master Little Yang. Can I call you Brother Little Yang?"
She walked over on her own initiative and was very surprised. He was sitting opposite Lu Xiaoyang. The distance was not very close, but not too far either. In short, it was a safe distance.
Lu Xiaoyang also knew about her sending gifts to Lianhua. For the sake of her sincerity, Lu Xiaoyang did not give her a bad look and even allowed her to sit at the same stone table with him. Let's see what her purpose is.
Lu Xiaoyang nodded: "You are free to do as you like."
His younger brothers and sisters at home, and even Lian Hua, all called him this, so there is nothing surprising.
Liu Yuexiang said to herself: "I was in a bad mood and went out for a walk. I didn't expect Lianhua to get engaged so soon. I thought it would take a year or two, but I always felt a pity. "
She deliberately used the lotus flower as the topic of conversation, but she was speaking from her heart. She really felt it was a pity.
"Lianhua engagement, why are you in a bad mood?"
Lu Xiaoyang frowned, obviously a little unhappy, and obviously thought she liked Lei Zi. After all, this kind of person is not few.
Liu Yuexiang gave him a strange look, as if she didn't know why he was angry, and said to herself: "You may not believe it. When I heard my cousin talk about Miss Lotus before, I was quite disdainful. Yes, but I saw her on the second day of junior high school. She was so good-looking, so good at business, and could even easily make Jia Rui angry. I immediately began to admire her, and at that time I started to worship her as my teacher. Thoughts."
"I originally wanted to learn more skills from her, but I didn't expect that she would get engaged so soon. I guess she will get married soon, right? By then she will be at home raising her husband and raising children. , maybe there is nothing to teach us.”
This is a very traditional thought. After getting married, a woman should stay at home to support her husband and raise her children. This is the choice of many women, otherwise they will It brings shame to the husband's family.
Lu Xiaoyang glanced at her and saw that the look of disappointment on her face was really not fake, and then he said: "So you are unhappy because of this."
"Yes, otherwise what else could it be? Is it possible that even you think I am fond of Master Lei?"
Liu Yuexiang admitted generously, not forgetting to observe Lu Xiaoyang's expression.
Lu Xiaoyang raised his eyebrows: "Yeah?"
"To tell you the truth, my parents thought so too, and they even advised me to give up those thoughts that I shouldn't have."
/>
Speaking, Liu Yuexiang stretched out her hand to press her cheek, and said: "Although I admit that Master Lei is indeed very good, I really don't have that intention. My father is just a small county magistrate. Is my family's lintel enough?" Why add trouble to yourself? Brother Xiaoyang, are you right?"
Lu Xiaoyang was so surprised by her frankness that he didn't even know what to say for a moment, but it was a rare seduction. The corner of his mouth curled up.
What Lu Xiaoyang himself didn’t know was that every time he smiled, he would subconsciously raise the right corner of his mouth, giving him a bit of a scornful air. This was the reason why people in the village didn’t like him before.
But now, this trace of ruffianism directly hit Liu Yuexiang's heart, causing ripples.
Liu Yuexiang couldn't help but be stunned. Oh my God, how could someone smile so beautifully.
That naughty look made her fall in love with him so much!
Even though her heart was beating again, she still retracted her gaze rationally, not letting Lu Xiaoyang discover her thoughts, otherwise her plan would be over before it even started.
Lu Xiaoyang really didn’t notice anything unusual about her. He lowered his head and took a sip of wine and said, "Your worries are a bit unnecessary. They are just engaged and will not get married yet. Even if they are married, Lianhua She can still do what she likes, and neither Leizi nor her family will stop her."
"Really?"
"Of course."
Liu Yuexiang's eyes clearly radiated light. Somehow, Lu Xiaoyang was also infected by her emotions, and the blockage in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
Lotus and Leizi will definitely be very happy together. He should give blessings instead of drinking here to spread his bad mood.
He stood up to go back, walked a few steps and then stopped and said to Liu Yuexiang: "After going to Fucheng, there may be a lot of things about Lotus. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. ."
