Chapter 682 Poisoning
"What does the Zhan family do? Are the family members easy to get along with? Which young master of the Zhan family proposed to Sister Xiu? How is he like? What do you do for a living now? Can you support your family?" Luo Wu asked many questions in succession, each time It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable to ask.
The girl he has liked for so many years is about to become a member of another family. Although he wants her to marry into a wealthy family and enjoy happiness, he still feels very sad.
Mrs. Xia looked at Luo Wu's red eyes and couldn't bear it, but she still said: "The Zhan family is not only a wealthy family, but also a relative of the emperor. They have a daughter who is a princess of Dachu. The Zhan family is an aristocratic family, and everyone in the family She is well-educated, sensible, and easy to get along with. The person who proposed to Sister Xiu was the second son of Zhan's family, his name was Zhan Yuan, and his courtesy name was Hengzhi. He was the youngest madman in Da Chu. He wrote a poem at the cultural gathering. You can sell it for hundreds of taels of silver, so you dont have to worry about running out of money."
A poem can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver?
Luo Wu was shocked and read Zhan Yuan's name again...Zhan Yuan, Hengzhi, others even had nicer names than him.
Mr. Xia answered from the side: "The Zhan family is a wealthy family and has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years. Even if the second son of the Zhan family doesn't work all his life, he will have endless gold and silver to spend. It is no problem to support the family."
After Luo Wu heard this, he felt happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that Sister Xiu was attracted by a good family, but sad that he would never be able to marry her in this life.
Mr. Xia and his wife sang together and talked about how rich the Zhan family was and how young and promising Zhan Er was. They talked about Luo Wu until his head almost dropped to his chest and he couldn't even lift it up.
Finally, Mrs. Xia sighed: "That child Hengzhi is an infatuated child. He likes Sister Xiu very much. He swears that he will only marry Sister Xiu in his life and will not take concubines."
Luo Wu was shocked when he heard this: "Is what Madam said true?"
Young masters from wealthy families all like to have concubines. Although he hopes that Xiu Jie'er can marry the noble master, he does not want Xiu Jie'er's husband to take concubines. He is afraid that Xiu Jie'er will be bullied by those concubines.
Mrs. Xia said: "Of course it is true. Hengzhi was still afraid that his family would not agree, so he had gone home first. He planned to persuade his grandmother and parents first, and then let his grandmother come to propose marriage in person to show his respect for Sister Xiu. Love is heavy.
Luo Wu was very surprised when he heard this, and kept saying: "That's good, that's good..."
But he should be happy, but he couldn't help but tears welling up in his eyes, and they fell to the ground with a sound.
He didn't want the Xia couple to see him crying and lower their heads in a hurry.
At the moment of embarrassment, the servants of the Xia family put the burned silver wire charcoal into the copper cauldron and carried it over, and then set up two tables next to the copper cauldron.
One table was set with sliced venison and minced meat sauce, and another table was set with expensive food that Luo Wu had never seen before, as well as expensive wine with a refreshing taste.
With a sizzling sound, the servants put the venison on the rack, roasted it slowly, and placed the roasted venison on three porcelain plates of different colors.
Three maids carrying three porcelain plates each came to Luo Wu and the others, knelt down and said: "Please use venison."
Luo Wu was not used to being served like this, so he waved his hands and said, "Get up, I'm not hungry."
Mr. Xia said: "Brother Wu has never eaten venison, right? This venison is a hundred times more valuable than beef and mutton. It is a delicacy that the nobles in the capital must eat during the winter solstice. Even if Brother Wu is not hungry, he will eat a few slices to suit the occasion." .
Luo Wu felt even more ashamed when he looked at such a precious thing. After asking about the Zhan family, he stood up and left: "Junior, I will leave first. Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia will use it as they please."
Mr. Xia frowned. Seeing that Luo Wu had decided to leave, he did not try to persuade him to stay. He just ordered his servants: "Wrap the venison on Brother Wu's plate and bring it back to Brother Wu."
Yes. The servant responded, wrapping the venison with quick hands and feet.
Mr. Xia took the venison wrapped by his servant and stuffed it into Luo Wu's hand: "Brother Wu, take it and count it as your wages for helping transport the bronze tripod." After hearing this, Luo Wu did not refuse and walked away with the venison. .
After Luo Wu left, the servants were sent out, leaving only Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia in the flower hall.
Mrs. Xia said unbearably: "Husband, isn't this too cruel? Although Brother Wu's identity is not worthy of Sister Xiu, he shouldn't have such thoughts towards Sister Xiu, but he can give the ultimate heir... a man If you cant give birth.
Mr. Xia interrupted Mrs. Xia: "Madam, you are too kind. Luo Wu is just a humble peasant boy. He should marry a peasant girl to live his life, but he is so bold that he falls in love with Sister Xiu, the eldest son of the Lu family. Is there a woman he can dream of? Giving him the heirloom medicine is already considered a mercy, so we should assassinate him and make him disappear, so as not to come out to disgust my sister again."
He added: "Madam also knows what the Gu family is thinking. She actually likes this Luo Wu and wants to recruit him as her son-in-law! We do this to stop the Gu family from doing stupid things."
Mr. Xia and his wife would look for Luo Wu and attack his self-esteem again and again, all because they knew that the Gu family wanted to recruit Luo Wu as their eldest son-in-law.
When the couple learned about this, they were really angry. They just thought that the Gu family was crazy. How could a good girl be promised to Luo Wu?
Because of their status, they did not dare to ask the Gu family to do anything, so they could only attack Luo Wu quietly.
They didn't want to poison her before, after all, poisoning was a despicable method, but something went wrong with the Zhan family, which made the Gu family even more determined to marry Sister Xiu to Luo Wu.
Today is the winter solstice. If Luo Wu goes home, the Gu family will definitely confront Luo Wu regardless of their face and ask him for a correct answer.
The couple was in a hurry, so they could only stop Luo Wu again and hit him again, but fearing that it would be unsafe, they gave him an infertile drug in the deer meat.
"Luo Wu doesn't seem to like eating venison very much. What if he didn't eat the venison?" Mrs. Xia said.
Mr. Xia waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry. After what we just said, Luo Wu will definitely feel inferior and will not go home for the winter solstice today. As long as he does not go back, his relationship with the Gu family will become worse and worse." Oops, even if he is lucky enough not to eat the venison this time, we can still find another opportunity to give him the final drug."
Mr. Xia picked up the wine bottle and took a sip of wine: "No matter what, we won today."
Although Mr. Xia lost to Gu Jinli's gangster tricks, he was still very accurate in judging people. He had long seen that Luo Wu had low self-esteem when facing Gu Jinxiu.
He took advantage of Luo Wu's inferiority and knocked Luo Wu's passion out of existence.
Mr. Xia expected well. Luo Wu was indeed hit by what happened to the Zhan family. He felt extremely uncomfortable. After riding a fast horse and leaving Xiajiazhuangzi, he hesitated for a long time at the intersection, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the county seat.
He went to his house in the county town.
He bought this house three years ago. The house is not big, but the layout is very warm. It is very similar to the Gu family's house in Dafeng Village.
In the main courtyard of the back house, Luo Wu also planted an elm tree.
This is what Xiu Jie'er wants to plant.
Sister Xiu said that if you plant the elm tree, you can pick it and make food when the elm tree grows, which will save a lot of food.
