The sage intended to use Hu Xu in an important position.
Lou Yunchun added: "Besides, you have Lord Yuan and us behind you, so you don't have to worry."
Hu Xu was deeply shocked, and then bowed to Lou Yunchun and said, "Hu Xu is deeply grateful."
Xu Jiang smiled and said, "We are all family, why are you being so polite?"
Lou Yunchun nodded in agreement, "Yes, one of us."
Shopkeeper Wang was impatient. "Oh, stop thanking me and go find Madam Song. She's on your mind now. Don't let anyone kidnap her."
"I'll go right away." Now that he understood, Hu Xu couldn't wait any longer. He bowed to the three of them and immediately ran home. "Goodbye, everyone."
Shopkeeper Wang looked at his back, put his hands on his hips and sighed, "Finally you've gotten the point. It wasn't easy."
"Yes." Xu Jiang's face was also full of relief. "Song Qiao has finally seen the light after waiting for so long."
Shopkeeper Wang stroked his chin and said, "Looking at the situation, maybe they will get married before you do."
Lou Yunchun nodded, "Very good."
Xu Jiang chuckled, then glanced at him, looking at the remaining work, and pretended to be worried: "Hey, Zhuchun is gone, how are we going to finish this half-finished work?"
Shopkeeper Wang saw through the trick and immediately replied to Fat Magpie, bridging the gap between the two. He pointed at Lou Yunchun and said, "One has left, but there's still one standing here. Use him when you need him."
Lou Yunchun said seriously, "Don't worry, I never like to give up halfway."
"Then I'll leave this place to you." Xu Jiang couldn't help laughing. Then, with a roll of his eyes, he brought out a few more pieces from the shop. Under Shopkeeper Wang's surprised gaze, he explained, "Well... this set of seals will require more materials."
A smile appeared in Lou Yunchun's eyes. He rolled up his sleeves and promised, "I'll make sure it's enough for you." Then he continued to grind the stone into powder.
Shopkeeper Wang stared at the pile of stones in front of him in amazement. With so many stones, it would take several days to grind them all. Even if he did, he would not be able to keep his hand anymore.
But seeing how motivated his brother Lou is, I think there's no need for others to worry about him. Maybe others would even be happy for him.
Well, he was too lazy to stay here and be an eyesore, so he decided to go home. Then he went away whistling a cheerful tune.
Xu Jiang and Lou Yunchun smiled at each other.
Lou Yunchun stepped forward and brushed the sawdust out of her hair. He then touched the bunch of persimmons on her head and suddenly said, "The persimmons on the tree at Mingshiting are ready to be picked."
The persimmons sent back from Chongzhou were nowhere to be seen because the two of them delayed their return to Beijing. Now that Lou Yunchun mentioned persimmons, Xu Jiang's gluttony started to flare up again.
"Pick them. I learned a new method in Chongzhou that can remove the astringency of persimmons. Let's try it."
"good."
So, early the next morning, Lou Dahouer climbed up the tree again and picked all the red persimmons.
It was a holiday that day, and Lou Jing had already made an appointment with Yuan Zuzhi, Li Tongxue and others to come to his house to appreciate the rubbings of the stele sent by Du Hui, so he instructed his housekeeper Shan to hold a small gathering at Mingshi Pavilion.
Butler Shan hesitated to speak, and finally suggested tactfully, "Master, why not set it up in Ziran Pavilion? The garden is full of fruits and vegetables now, it's a good time to enjoy them."
Lou Jing waved his hand, "No need, Mingshi Pavilion is fine, that persimmon tree looks festive."
"But this persimmon tree...has taken on a whole other charm."
"Oh? Which charm?"
Butler Shan chose his words carefully, "Hmm... quite a withered and skinny tone."
"The rhyme of withered skinny?" Lou Jing became even more curious and walked towards Mingshi Pavilion. "I'll go take a look."
Butler Shan sighed, "It's better to take a look." Then he stepped forward.
Mrs. Lou was taking a medicinal bath, Liu Mei was waiting on her side, and Wu Zhi was borrowing a fire needle, preparing to give Mrs. Lou acupuncture and fumigation with moxa later.
Suddenly, a roar came from the outer courtyard, startling everyone.
Madam Lou asked, "What's wrong with the master?"
Liu Mei put down her handkerchief and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Wu Zhi blew on her burned fingers and said, "It's probably because of the persimmon tree in the garden."
Mrs. Lou was puzzled. "Persimmon tree?"
Wu Zhi smiled but said nothing.
After a while, Liu Mei came back and said, "The young master has plucked out all the persimmon trees in Mingshi Pavilion, and the old master is angry."
Madam Lou looked at Wu Zhi and asked, "How do you know it's because of the persimmon tree?"
"Because I ran into Lou Yunchun picking persimmons this morning, I asked him for a few baskets to make medicine." The persimmons on this plant don't taste very good, but they are treasures for making medicine. Wu Zhi has been coveting them for a long time.
Listening to the angry cursing outside, Mrs. Lou sighed. It had just quieted down for a while, and she was afraid that the father and son would start fighting again.
Liu Mei thought of Lou Yunchun who hadn't revealed any clues when he came to pay his respects in the morning, and thought to herself: My young master is really a man who does great things quietly.
Lou Jing scolded the unfilial son for a long time in front of the bare persimmon tree, and the housekeeper Shan and the servants who were trying to comfort him kept scratching their ears.
He cursed until his mouth was dry, and finally ended with "Don't let him in tonight."
Everyone thought in unison: "How can this be called a punishment? It's more like a reward." If his young master knew about this, he'd probably be overjoyed.
Butler Shan asked carefully, "Then what about this banquet..."
"Set it up in Ziranxuan." Lou Jing put his hands on his hips and thought for a moment before ordering, "Pick all the pears in Ziranxuan for me and send them to each family as a gift."
Butler Shan sighed, wondering when the cycle of revenge would end.
The servants were very happy because they had pears to eat again!
After Wu Zhi finished treating Madam Lou, she heard the maids say that Zi Ranxuan was picking pears, so she turned around and floated over.
Pears are good, they are full of treasures.
Taking advantage of his old father's anger, Lou Yunchun stayed in the bookstore for a night. The next day, he went back to serve medicine to his mother, but found that his mother and Liu Mei both looked very strange.
