Chapter 361: Heart is bigger than a needle
Lu Chaochao didn't sleep well that night.
He had dark circles under his eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.
The maid saw this scene and almost jumped up in shock: "Princess, did you not sleep well last night?"
Lu Chaochao had been thinking about it all night, and said reflexively: "I'm not stingy..."
Well……
"It seems that there were mosquitoes bothering me at night, and I didn't sleep well every morning." The little guy yawned.
The maid asked the kitchen to bring a few boiled eggs, which she rolled around her eyes several times, but the pain did not subside at all.
Last night, I tossed and turned and didn't sleep at all.
Lu Chaochao sat on the chair, eating and dozing off, unable to even lift his eyelids.
Lou Jintang and Xie Yuzhou were puzzled as to why she would suffer from insomnia sometimes.
Just as he put down the bowl, he saw Lu Chaochao sighing: "I said that old man was not accurate yesterday, right?"
"How could I be petty? Look, I'm not angry at all."
"I almost forgot about it."
"Right, brother Yuzhou?"
Xie Yuzhou was holding the bowl and sipping porridge in small sips. Seeing the blue-gray color in her eyes, looking at him intently, he stammered, "Yes, yes, Chao Chao is not stingy at all, and does not bear grudges at all."
Lou Jintang held the bowl, buried his face in it, and his shoulders shook uncontrollably.
God knows how shocked Princess Zhaoyang was when the maid came to report that she was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
"Right? On August 12th last year, we went out shopping. You ate a string of candied haws from me, and I didn't say anything. Chaochao has never been a stingy person..." Lu Chaochao nodded seriously.
Xie Yuzhou looked at her in surprise. Go...last year? ?
Damn, the old man never lied to me, his calculations were so accurate!
How old was she then? Two and a half years old?
I ate a string of candied haws from her and I still remember it! !
He even remembered the date and time clearly, and he cursed me countless times behind my back.
After breakfast, the Lou family began to prepare for the competition.
Lou Jintang was holding a small wooden stick in his hand, looking like a sword, quite majestic.
"Today I'm going to teach you the third move, um..." Lu Chaochao was chewing the snacks with a crunching sound.
Lou Jintang had a good understanding of swordsmanship, so it was not difficult for Lu Chaochao to teach him.
In the breeze, the small wooden stick left traces under the big tree.
In just three days, the little granddaughter of the Lou family, who no one cared about, learned the true skills of the sword ancestor.
The second day.
Lou Jintang was wearing a simple and capable outfit, with her hair tied up high and holding her small broken sword in her hand.
"Why don't you change to a good sword?" Xie Yuzhou looked at her broken sword. The tip of the sword was cracked and the blade was a little damaged, but it was well preserved and wiped very clean.
The handles are shiny and oily, showing that the owner touches them often.
Lou Jintang held the broken sword, his eyes slightly red.
"This is my brother's sword."
"The Lou family has a sword tomb. There are countless spirit swords in the sword tomb, but each sword has its own temper. If you can't pull it out, you won't be recognized by the spirit sword."
"There are very few people in the Lou family who can be recognized by the Sword Tomb. My eldest brother is one of them." Lou Jintang's eyes were sparkling and full of admiration.
"My eldest brother is extremely talented and has always been my father's pride. My father did everything in his power to educate him."
"In fact, my brother would have become the youngest clan leader." As Lou Jintang spoke, his tone became desolate.
"What about your brother?" Xie Yuzhou asked nervously.
He had been here for three days and had never met Lou Jintang's elder brother. I've never even heard of his name...
Lou Jintang held the broken sword and led the two to the Lou family ancestral hall.
"Wow...your ancestral hall is so big." Xie Yuzhou raised his head and looked at the majestic and huge building in front of him.
He had seen the world, but he had never seen such a tall and majestic ancestral hall.
The clansman guarding the door of the ancestral hall pushed open the door.
Inside the ancestral hall, there are layers upon layers of memorial tablets, stacked up to the point where there is no end in sight.
It gives people goose bumps.
Lou Jintang picked up a spirit tablet in the center of the ancestral hall, on which was written the name of Lou Qingmo.
"My brother died on the battlefield defending the southern territory." Lou Jintang's voice was muffled, with a hint of sobs.
"My eldest sister-in-law had just given birth when she heard the tragic news. She committed suicide before she was even out of confinement. She left behind a crying little niece."
"My little niece, she's just over one year old this year."
Born without both parents, he is also a miserable person.
"My mother has been seriously ill and is now bedridden. If it weren't for my little niece who made her worry, I'm afraid she would have followed my brother."
Although the Lou family seemed united on the surface, there were fierce quarrels among the people for the competition for resources.
What Lou Jintang didn't say was that his sister-in-law had just given birth and was extremely fragile both mentally and physically, so the whole family kept the news of his eldest brother's death a secret.
He is Lou Xuyan's biological son, and Lou Xiaofan speaks without restraint and inadvertently reveals the truth.
No one knows whether he did it unintentionally or on purpose.
In the afternoon, my sister-in-law collapsed and died of love.
It seemed as if my parents had aged ten years in an instant!
"I want to bring honor to my parents, and to my elder brother, sister-in-law, and little niece... But I am a girl, and I can't support this family." Lou Jintang lowered his head.
She is her father's only daughter.
Although her father loved her very much, he would often sigh when looking at her.
"What's wrong with being a girl?" Lu Chaochao poked his head out.
"Girls can also stand tall and fight on the battlefield! If anyone disobeys, use the sword in your hand to cut his mouth!"
"A daughter can also be the pride of her parents and the pride of her family!"
"You can do it, Sister Tang!" Lu Chaochao was only three and a half years old, but she seemed to have infinite confidence in Lou Jintang.
Lou Jintang was stunned while holding his brother's spirit tablet.
"The competition is about to start, let's go." Lu Chaochao took her hand and pulled her into the venue.
The Lou family's score is divided into primary and advanced fields.
The high-level competition is a fight between the elders in the clan, competing for the position of the head of the clan.
The primary stage is where the younger generations of the Lou family compete for resources in the mansion.
Of course, the winner of the primary field can challenge the advanced field. Although no one has ever won, they can still learn a lot.
The advanced competition has already begun. The stage is surrounded by Manchu people, their faces flushed, as if they have been looking forward to this competition for a long time.
"I'm afraid the eldest family will lose this time."
"Without Lou Qingmo, the eldest branch of the family would not be able to suppress Lou Xuyan." Lou Qingmo is Jintang's biological brother.
Lu Chaochao and Xie Yuzhou did not watch the high-end show, they followed Lou Jintang closely.
"Sister Tang, it's your turn to draw the lot. Good luck to you..." Xie Yuzhou wished her nervously.
When Lou Jintang stepped forward to draw the lot, Xie Yuzhou gently touched Chao Chao's shoulder.
"Why don't you wish Sister Tang a happy life? If she meets a weak opponent, she can still hold on for two more rounds." Xie Yuzhou was quite curious.
Lu Chaochao said calmly: "Good luck is temporary, strength is eternal. She doesn't need blessings!"
Xie Yuzhou was slightly stunned.
Lou Jintang held the long stick in his hand, his face slightly pale.
"I drew number 17."
In the distance, Lou Xiaofan held his sword with a frivolous look in his eyes: "Sister Tang, I'm so sorry, your opponent... is me!"
"Sister Tang lost, don't cry!"
Lou Jintang pursed her lips tightly and looked at him with eyes full of indignation.
It was him who killed my sister-in-law!
Others say that he is young and ignorant and speaks without restraint. But Lou Jintang knew that he did it on purpose!
They want to deal a heavy blow to the eldest son's family and to their father!
