Quick Wear: The Daily Showmanship of the Face-Slapping Maniac

Chapter 40 040 Don't feel bad for men 5
The night was low, only a few scattered stars dotted the sky, and lanterns were hung high between the pillars under the eaves of the Lu Mansion.

Only then did Father Lu rush back with an ugly face in the moonlight.

Seeing his daughter waiting in the yard, Father Lu's expression softened for a moment, and he felt a little comforted in his heart.

My daughter has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for others.

"Father is a little busy today and came back late. It's such a cold day, are you froze? Just wait in the house from now on," Father Lu passed the cloak on his body to the servant beside him, and said after thinking for a while : "By the way, Yue'er, have you eaten?"

In the afternoon, Mingyue had some snacks. She was not hungry, but she was curious about the ending of the mole guy.

Mingyue shook her head: "I asked the cook to warm up the food, and I'm waiting for you to come back and eat together!"

Father Lu felt more comforted in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, Lu's father still had two concubines around him in the early years, but after he lost two children because of open and secret fighting among the concubines, he dismissed those women. The two masters of the Lu family, father and daughter.

The Lu family is a merchant's house, and they don't pay much attention to what they eat and don't talk when they eat. On weekdays, the father and daughter can still speak a few words.

"Father, is there something wrong with that guy today?" Mingyue asked curiously when she was almost finished eating.

Father Lu really doesn't want his daughter to know about these troubles. Anyway, he is still in good health, and he will live another 30 to years. There is no problem. In the future, he will find a good son-in-law for his daughter and give birth to a grandson, and then hand over the Lu family to his grandson. In his hands, his daughter was taken care of, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind.

It doesn't matter if the daughter is innocent or naive, anyway, with him now and her grandson in the future, no one can bully her.

But since the daughter asked about it, Father Lu had nothing to say.

After all, with the lessons learned from the nanny's family, Father Lu sometimes felt that his daughter was too simple-minded.

Father Lu snorted disdainfully: "There is indeed a problem with that guy. He is so courageous that he enriches himself behind the back of the shopkeeper, raises the price of the goods in private, and even watches people order..."

In his narration, Mingyue finally knew why he came back so late.

It turns out that the mole bids based on people's clothing. If the person entering the shop is an ordinary person, he will add one or two dollars. If the person who enters the shop is a rich lady, he will add one or two. Swallow elephant.

However, those who are willing to buy rouge are not fools, especially women from ordinary families. If they see that it is expensive, they can buy it from another house. Therefore, Mole has been coming to Rouge Square for several months, but he has not sold many boxes of rouge.

But Lu's father refused to let the Lu family's reputation be damaged, so he went to find those who bought expensive rouge one by one today, and he returned all the money paid by the buyers, not to mention, he also bluntly said that it was the shopkeeper who made a wrong calculation. Well, the previous rouge is not considered silver, even if it is an apology, it is equivalent to giving away the previous rouge for nothing.

In this way, even if those people later find out that the price they bought before was wrong, they will have an explanation.

Instead, they sent a wave of advertisements to the Lu family's shop. After all, no one is willing to disperse all the money in their pockets like Father Lu. It is really kind.

As for the mole, what he did was in violation of the law, he should lose money and go to prison, but the shopkeeper pleaded and said that he had a family to support, so Lu's father just let him go and just fired him. !
Even looking at Hei Mole's poverty, Lu's father didn't let him lose money, but only said that the Lu family's shop didn't want him.

According to this, Father Lu actually has kindness towards the mole.

However, there are many people in this world who repay kindness with revenge.

Mingyue sighed in her heart, this father and daughter were really wronged.

Zhang family.

"No, absolutely not."

Mrs. Zhang slapped the table fiercely, and the teacup placed on it trembled with the force. She continued angrily: "You haven't married him, Liu Shumin, why are you turning your elbows out and taking us?" The money from the family subsidizes his studies, but he is quite ashamed to bring it up, it really doesn't make any scholar face."

Zhang Cuixiu was so ashamed by what she said, but thinking of Brother Min's words, she mustered up her courage again: "Mother, Brother Min didn't mention this matter, I brought it up on my own initiative. Brother Min is a Wenqu star, and we are sponsoring him now." Studying, in the future he will be admitted to the number one scholar, and he will be more sincere to our Zhang family, won't he?"

"Damn!" Mrs. Zhang spat on the ground: "I don't even have enough money in my own family, so I sent it to his Liu family. Sincerity? Sincerity is not as important as money? Returning Wen Quxing down to earth, will really put gold on his face , let’s talk about it after he is admitted to the No. Scholar. Let me tell you, there is no need to discuss this matter.”

Zhang Cuixiu saw that his mother seemed determined not to give money, so he couldn't help looking at his father who was sitting and drinking by the charcoal fire.

"Father, did you say something?"

Father Zhang took a sip of the hot wine, smashed it and said, "Girl, our Zhang family is not the Lu family. If you spend money to buy something sincere, you should just listen to your mother and forget it. This deal is not worth it."

Zhang Cuixiu almost burst into tears when she heard this.

Zhang Cuixiu and Lu Mingyue grew up on the same person's milk, no matter in appearance or temperament, she felt that she was never any worse than Lu Mingyue?
But at this moment, she suddenly discovered that for Mingyue, she couldn't get the money to buy a hairpin, even if she begged hard.

Unwillingness coiled around Zhang Cuixiu's heart like a poisonous snake, making her jealous and hate Lu Mingyue.

Seeing the disapproving parents, Zhang Cuixiu couldn't stand the grievance, she covered her face and ran out crying.

Seeing this, Father Zhang and Mrs. Zhang didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, money is always something that can only be fished in pockets, and how can it be given to others.

Zhang and Liu are neighbors. After Zhang Cuixiu ran out of Zhang's house, she wiped away her tears, turned her head and entered the door of Liu's house, and went straight to Liu Shumin's room.

The Liu family spends winter in the house, even if someone sees Zhang Cuixiu coming over, they don't mind, anyway, they all know that the Zhang family is doing well, if the fifth child can really trap the girl of the Zhang family, the Liu family will be relieved Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about his money for marrying his wife.

When Liu Shumin saw Zhang Cuixiu, he was overjoyed at first, but after seeing her red eyes, that joy turned into sorrow!
"It didn't work?"

Zhang Cuixiu bit her lip and nodded: "Brother Min, my mother disagrees."

Although it had been expected, Liu Shumin was still disappointed.

He already asked his family for two taels of silver yesterday, and he would definitely not be able to get it today, so that's why he came up with the Zhang family's idea. Who knows that the Zhang family is so greedy!

As long as he thinks that after all these three taels of silver are collected, he can buy that hairpin, win the heart of the Miss Lu family, and get so much property from the Lu family, Liu Shumin feels itchy and anxious like scratching his heart and lungs. .

But the problem now is that these three or two are missing!

His own family is unreliable, and the Zhang family is also reluctant.

Liu Shumin closed his eyes and endured for a long time before he could hold back his anger at Zhang Cuixiu.

On the contrary, Zhang Cuixiu felt distressed when she saw his appearance, and couldn't help but come up with an idea:
"Brother Min, why don't we tell our uncles, aunts and my parents about this!"
