Chapter 129: Ah ah ah, Lu Yuan, you really deserve to die!! Deserve to die

Lu Yuan figured it out.

His wife was really anxious.

She grabbed Lu Yuan and headed out.

However, at this time, Gao Xushi also saw Lu Yuan, and then smiled at him and said:

"Oh my, Lu Yuan, you've caught another big fish!"

"Huh?"

Looking at this smiling Gao Xushi, Lu Yuan felt a bit dazed.

Although, because of teaching Chen Taohua how to use the sewing machine, Gao Xushi didn't hate him as much anymore.

But the relationship between the two families is still not great!

Why would Gao Xushi be smiling at him like that?

However, when talking about his fish, Lu Yuan proudly raised his head and said:

"That's right, I'm a fishing genius."

Gao Xushi smiled and kept nodding, saying:

"Ah yes yes yes, Lu Yuan, you really are a fishing genius."

And in her heart, Gao Xushi couldn't help but spit several times.

Gao Xushi's sudden change in attitude had no other reason.

It's that when the time comes to celebrate the baby's first month, everyone has to come!!

Last time they held a banquet and didn't collect money, so this time for the baby's first month they must collect!

Although the money given for the baby's first month won't be much, each family gives about one yuan, maybe fifty cents.

But you don't need to set up a banquet for the first-month celebration!

At that time, just give two eggs wrapped in red paper and that's enough.

This money is basically free, and there's no work involved.

After the mess of her own wedding earlier, Gao Xushi now has to put on a smiling face to welcome them.

Most importantly, she needs to pacify that scoundrel Lu Yuan.

As long as that troublemaker doesn't cause trouble again, there won't be any big problems!

And Lu Yuan, looking at the smiling Gao Xushi in front of him, rolled his eyes and sort of understood.

Then Lu Yuan also smiled and said:

"Auntie, how long has Taohua been pregnant?"

Gao Xushi laughed and said:

"About two months exactly; counting the days, it's about a week after Taohua moved in~

"My son Tingyu is awesome~"

"My son really makes me proud; every night he really doesn't waste his efforts."

Lu Yuan nodded and then smiled:

"Fine, when the time comes to celebrate the first month, definitely call me~"

Lu Yuan originally wanted to say a couple more things, but his wife was really anxious.

Lu Yuan didn't say much more, just said a couple of things casually and then hurried with his wife to eat.

After finishing the meal and returning, Lu Yuan just hung the big fish in the kitchen, while his wife locked the door.

Needless to say, his wife came over, hugged him, and kissed him.

Previously, he was always the one to initiate, but this time Lu Yuan hurriedly said:

"First close the curtains… wife…… first…… hiss~"

……

Late at night, the Imperial Palace, Hall of Radiant Splendor.

Miserable cries echoed!!

Gu Lie lay on a long bench, while two people in armor stood behind him, holding large sticks.

"You're something!! You really are!! You really bring honor to your sister!! What time is it!! Tell me what time it is!! Are you trying to go crazy!!"

Gu Qingwan shows no major emotional changes with anyone.

Her cold, beautiful eyes and emotionless stern face make it impossible for anyone to guess what Gu Qingwan is thinking.

But as soon as she sees Gu Lie, or hears about what Gu Lie has done,

Gu Qingwan truly can't suppress her anger rising.

At this moment in the hall, besides Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie, there is also a line of old scholars.

At this moment, Gu Lie lay on the bench with a miserable look and said:

"Sister, I'm this old…… you can't keep locking me up in the palace forever……"

As soon as Gu Lie finished speaking, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth, grabbed a yellow box, and threw it at him while shouting:

"How could I not keep you locked in the palace? With your behavior out there, you'll ruin the common people!!"

"I tell you, if you don't change your behavior for a day, you'll stay in the palace for life!!"

"Get out! Hurry up and get out!!"

"Take your rotten fish away!!"

After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, the Imperial Guard behind her quickly stepped forward to support Gu Lie and escort him out of the hall.

And Gu Lie didn't forget to carry the three four-to-five-jin fish he caught tonight.

And Gu Qingwan was so angry at Gu Lie that her head spun.

After leaving the great hall, Gu Lie turned back and glanced; his sister couldn't see him behind.

Just a moment ago he was being supported by someone, as if he couldn't walk.

The next second, Gu Lie swished up to stand, patted his buttocks, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"You two bastards, when it was the fourteenth strike and the twenty-ninth strike, who the hell really hit, almost didn't beat me to death."

The two Imperial Guard looked at each other, then with a troubled expression said:

"Sir, this... this, if His Majesty can't see it's a fake strike, this... this sometimes inevitably leads to a slip..."

Gu Lie merely curled his lips, fine, no more talk.

He then happily ran off carrying his three big fish.

Today my luck is really good; following Lu Yuan's method, I kept catching fish like crazy afterward.

Coming back today, the Imperial Guard who came to give me a beating is still quite familiar with me, and the beating didn't actually land.

So awesome!!

At this moment inside the hall, some scholars looked at Gu Qingwan and fell silent for a while.

The eldest among them then slightly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty... the prince's aspirations lie elsewhere; the prince still favors the army, why not let the prince join the military to serve the court?"

"The prince is truly a military genius; right now, our great war with the Liujin Dynasty is imminent, letting the prince undergo genuine training for these two or three years..."

However, before this person finished speaking, Gu Qingwan turned her face and glared, speaking sternly:

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is just missing him as a general, right?"

"Without him, Gu Lie, the Great Zhou Dynasty would lose to the Liujin Dynasty, right!"

After Gu Qingwan's words were spoken, the hall fell instantly silent, no one daring to speak further.

……

The next day.

In the early morning, Su Liyan came to her husband's bedside with a face full of shy blush.

Looking at her husband's sleeping appearance, her beautiful eyes, full of autumn water, were filled with tenderness and affection.

Unable to resist, Su Liyan squatted at the bedside, bringing her gorgeous face close and rubbing it gently against her husband's face.

Afterwards she rose and gave her husband two more kisses.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was roused by his wife's few actions, opening his eyes with sleepy heaviness.

Seeing her husband awakened by the noise, Su Liyan, as if coaxing a child, tightened the blanket on him while saying:

"It's okay, it's okay~ Brother~ hurry up and sleep~"

It's hot in this house; Lu Yuan really doesn't want to cover up with the blanket, he reached out from under it, pinched his wife's face, and asked in a daze:

"What time is it."

Su Liyan hurriedly brought her face close again, and in a coquettish voice said:

"Brother~ it's seven-thirty~"

Lu Yuan pressed his wife's face against his chest, just like stroking a little cat, while gently rubbing her hair and murmuring in a daze:

"Today your parents are coming; I'll go pick them up, and when you get off work tonight, come straight to the grand residence."

Su Liyan rested her head on her husband's chest, enjoying his caress, nodding repeatedly in a soft voice:

"Mm~ I know~"

After saying that, Su Liyan lifted her head, gave two more kisses, and spoke in a coquettish tone:

"Brother~ then I'm off to work~ remember to eat breakfast~"

Lu Yuan, without even opening his eyes, mumbled:

"Mm."

Seeing her husband's dazed state, Su Liyan smiled happily with a full face, then left.

After moving her bicycle outside, Su Liyan, who had been about to close the door, instead pattered back inside and ran to Lu Yuan's bedside.

Hearing the movement, Lu Yuan had one eye closed, the other half-open, somewhat dazed, he slightly lifted his gaze to see his wife again squatting at the bedside and said:

"What's up?"

Su Liyan, extraordinarily gorgeous and shy, gazed at her husband and pouted slightly, saying:

"Brother~ I want more kisses~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was amused by his wife's adorable appearance, got up, and gave her two fierce kisses, saying:

"Is that enough?"

Just as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Su Liyan kissed him once more, then rose shyly and said:

"All right~"

"I'm leaving, brother~"

Having said that, she jogged out, closed the door, and then prepared to push her bicycle out of the siheyuan.

However, as Su Liyan turned around, she saw Pang Kaige staring agape at her.

Just earlier, Pang Kaige had moved his bicycle out of his own home when he heard the commotion from Lu Yuan's house.

After all, just earlier Su Liyan had taken her bicycle out of the house, and in her hurry to go kiss someone, she left the door open.

Pang Kaige heard Su Liyan's earlier soft, coquettish little movement.

"Brother~ want more kisses?"

At that moment, hearing this, Pang Kaige shuddered slightly.

This sort of soft, coquettish movement from Su Liyan was truly the first time Pang Kaige had heard it.

This Lu Yuan…… is just too damn awesome!!!

At this moment, Su Liyan looked at Pang Kaige, who was staring dumbfounded at her, thinking that what had just happened might have been overheard by Pang Kaige.

This really embarrassed Su Liyan.

She didn't even greet Pang Kaige, pushed the cart, and hurried away.

Pang Kaige stood where he was, glanced at Su Liyan's back, then took a look at Lu Yuan's tightly closed door.

Pah!!

Lu Yuan got the benefit, he, Pang Kaige, is really damn unhappy!!

A few days ago, Lu Yuan again received a reward of seven hundred coins, which almost made Pang Kaige die of anger.

What's worse is... I even bought the bicycle invented by Lu Yuan!!

And now seeing Su Liyan today...

Pang Kaige became even more unhappy.

Ah ah ah ah, Lu Yuan, you really deserve to die!! Deserve to die!!

Nine o'clock.

Lu Yuan got up himself.

That yesterday was really crazy.

Originally, during this period, I really turned the offensive and got back on track.

But then yesterday.

I became a horse again.

After getting up, Lu Yuan didn't eat breakfast either.

This morning, my parents-in-law are surely already waiting for me at the East City Gate.

They must have come by ox cart, and they haven't eaten anything this morning.

After arriving, I will take them together to have breakfast.

I had originally said I would go buy a few beds yesterday, but I got carried away fishing and forgot.

Today I still need to go buy a few beds.

However, there's still time; it's just a few wooden board beds, I can just pick some up at the market.

After washing up, Lu Yuan led his horse out the door.

Upon reaching the front courtyard, I saw Chen Taohua still washing things.

I don't know why the Gao family has so much stuff to wash; every day it's either this or that!

As for Chen Taohua working while pregnant, that's actually quite normal.

After all, she's only two months along.

Like village women, even with a big belly they continue doing farm work.

Some women, while working in the fields, suddenly—pop—the baby comes out right there, and that's not unheard of.

That really is a common occurrence.

"Taohua, you're pregnant."

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Taohua and said with a smile.

And Chen Taohua also looked at Lu Yuan with a full-face smile, nodding repeatedly and said:

"Yes, Brother Lu, are you going out again?"

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, saying:

"Right, I'm off."

Chen Taohua smiled, nodded, and watched Lu Yuan leave the main courtyard.

She thought to herself that Brother Lu is really carefree every day.

Moreover, he's capable.

Even if he doesn't work every day, he still makes money.

The bicycle he made last time earned him a direct reward of seven hundred coins from the Forging Bureau.

What am I supposed to do with all this money!!

Even if my family didn't eat or drink for two years, we couldn't earn this much money.

Leaving the alley, Lu Yuan rode his horse straight for the East City Gate.

When he arrived at the East City Gate, sure enough, everyone had come.

The Su Clan members all came, neat and tidy.

Upon seeing these people, Lu Yuan began preparing to dismount while saying with a smile:

"Father, Mother, Second Uncle, Third Uncle."

However, everyone quickly waved their hands and said:

"No need to get down, no need to get down, son-in-law, your stomach isn't good, just stay up there."

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan still dismounted, looked at the crowd, and then said with a smile:

"Everyone will stay in Huangcheng for these two days; the Threshing Machine Factory will start work three days later, and we'll open for business on the day the factory opens, so you'll all stay here for these three days."

Everyone nodded repeatedly; regardless, they would all follow the son-in-law's arrangements.

Immediately, Lu Yuan said with a smile:

"Come on, I'll first take everyone to have breakfast, then lead everyone to the main courtyard; you'll all stay there for these few days."

Everyone nodded repeatedly; not knowing anything else, they naturally had to follow the son-in-law's lead.

Lu Yuan led the Su Clan members to a breakfast stall.

According to his own standard, he gave each of the Su Clan members a serving, counting the children as well.

Everyone watched Lu Yuan order so much that they were all dumbfounded.

Just as they were about to speak, Lu Yuan lifted his head and said:

"No need to say anything, you're visiting the city for the first time—could your son-in-law possibly wrong you?"

"Just follow my arrangements for these three days and it'll be settled!"

The Su clan all knew this son-in-law wasn't just ordinarily rich, and his previous grand gestures were many.

In their hearts they marveled, this son-in-law truly knows how to cherish people.

Knowing everyone had risen early and hadn't eaten on the road, he now gave them a grand reception.

Although, thanks to this son-in-law, everyone also got to eat white flour.

But this includes fried dough stick and tofu pudding, and fresh-meat soup dumplings—nobody has even seen them, let alone eaten them.

For a moment, the Su clan fell silent, stuffing their mouths with what the son-in-law had treated them to.

While eating, they sighed, 'Liyan following such a son-in-law in the city is truly enjoying great blessings!!'

After Lu Yuan took two bites, he suddenly saw Su Changliang waving from afar on his bicycle and said:

"Here, come over!"

Thanks to zhou brother's 1666 book coins reward, thank you very much~

Thanks to Straw Man and Tiger Wuke Lian brother's 100 book coins reward, thank you very much to both brothers~

Mwah mwah, see you at midnight~
