When Xia Chunchao heard this, he was puzzled, and secretly thought to himself: The so-called people are dying, and their words are good, but it doesn't hurt to listen to what she says. At that moment, he nodded and said, "You can talk about it, but don't think that I can spare you!" With that, he motioned for the family members to let her go.

Wang Qiuying sobbed and said, "Originally, we heard that our uncle was coming to the house, but we were afraid that the family would be on guard, and we didn't dare to come to beat the girl's idea. It's just that not long ago, someone came to the cottage, saying that he was setting up a line for someone, saying that the girl had coaxed her aunt to run away, and they wanted to call her uncle back. I was afraid that the two would not want to, so I wanted to take my granddaughter back first. So they told us to come and rob us, so that they could take advantage of the chaos and take the children with them. He also said that my uncle was a paralyzed man, and he only brought a small servant with him when he came, so let's just come, it's okay. When our friend heard this, he was deluded and wanted to get some money from the girl, so he told me to come back and make a reply. Now that the matter has failed, I don't dare to expect the girl to be gracious, but I still hope that the girl will know about the merits here, so as not to fall into the trap of others again. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he almost fell down in anger.

Lu Chengyong frowned and asked: "This is ridiculous, my father has always only been in the city, and he is a pure white family, how can he collude with those mountain bandits?" ”

Wang Qiuying cried and complained: "If my uncle doesn't believe it, just ask those who have been arrested." ”

Xia Chun scolded Lu Chengyong: "When I was at home, I saw that your father often made some indiscreet dog meat friends. Relying on people to cheat him out of money, buy those antiques and rags that have nowhere to throw away. What's so strange about this person taking one person and getting acquainted with some sticks and bandits! I don't ask you, what are you going to do now? Can't we just rely on their calculations?! ”

Lu Chengyong hung his head, but he didn't speak.

Xia Chunchao understood in his heart, and immediately signaled his family to take Wang Qiuying down. He also ordered his family to interrogate the mountain bandits separately, took out the confession, and saw that it was exactly what Wang Qiuying said, so he handed the testimony to Lu Chengyong, and he sat on the side and did not speak.

Lu Chengyong took the confession, read it once, was silent, and said after a while: "Since they don't treat me as a son, what else is there to say?" And he said no more.

Seeing this, Xia Chunchao sent his subordinates out, sat next to him, held his hand, and said in a low voice: "I know that you are not happy in your heart, but you also know the temperament of those people in your family. If we can't get rid of them, I'm afraid we will have no scruples in the future. ”

Lu Chengyong said: "I know what you mean, it's just that my father has a spring and autumn season, just don't make him suffer too much." ”

Xia Chunchao hurriedly smiled: "I naturally know this, but it's not that it's going to happen, it's just that I told them not to come again." ”

While he was talking, a family member from outside came in to report: "The Shen family sent someone to ask for safety." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Fight out!" ”

The people who came didn't dare to go back, just stood and refused to leave, so Lu Chengyong said: "It's between neighbors, why bother?" ”

Xia Chunchao said: "It was so lively last night, I don't believe they didn't hear it. If you really care about the friendship of your neighbors, even if you are afraid of the fierceness of the bandits, you should shout for us, but there is no sound. Now that I see that the situation has calmed down, I have come to sell this favor again, I am so rare?! As he spoke, he called his family to call the Shen family even more.

Lu Chengyong saw that his wife was angry, and he knew that he must have been frightened last night, so he said for her: "You go and say, the house was robbed, and when it was busy, there was no time to entertain guests, so it disappeared." ”

And when the man had been commanded, he went down.

At this time, the husband and wife discussed in the house and did not mention it.

After the afternoon, He Haogu was invited.

Xia Chunchao, as a female dependent, was awkward in her heart because of the previous story, so she refused to go out, and only Lu Chengyong was the only one to see the guests.

Lu Chengyong walked to the hall, and the guests and hosts saw each other and sat down.

This pair of brothers with different surnames have been separated for a few months, and they have suffered repeated accidents, and they are really embarrassed to see each other at this time.

After the greetings were over, Lu Chengyong told all the things he had entrusted.

He Haogu plotted against his wife before, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he naturally did not deserve it.

The two sat down for a while, and seeing that it was about to be noon, Lu Chengyong stayed for dinner.

Because Lu Chengyong's leg disease had not healed and he couldn't drink, the two just had a light meal.

After the meal, Lu Chengyong ordered his family to tie up the bandit and hand it over to He Haogu.

When He Haogu came, he brought another group of men and horses, and immediately took them into custody and went into the city.

Lu Chengyong was a military general of the imperial court, and there were mountain bandits on the outskirts of Beijing who came to rob the imperial court officials, which naturally alarmed the imperial court, and there was an uproar up and down.

The mountain bandits entered the prison by themselves, but they knew that they would not be spared, and before the hot hall was over, they had already confessed first.

He Haogu led the troops to inspect, and soon captured the bandit leader who fled that night in a mountain pass and sent it to the government.

The official who tried the case read the confession and saw that it was Lu Chengyong's father who colluded with the bandits, and it was not easy to judge it. He Haogu was entrusted by Lu Chengyong and secretly advised. The clerk changed the confession to Lu's father for the reason of the traitor's deception. The case was clear and clear, and the trial was fast, the bandit leader was beheaded and abandoned in accordance with the law, and the rest of the people were imprisoned and exiled from the army.

The splash who was the introducer with Lu Huancheng was beaten with a cane in court for more than 40 beatings, and he died within two days of returning home.

Although the case has been decided, the father actually colluded with bandits to rob his son and daughter-in-law, which was really shocking to the world and caused a lot of discussion among the government and the public. Lu Chengyong was inconvenient to walk, so he asked someone to sue the court about the previous separation. The official felt ridiculous, and it was a family matter of the imperial court, so he didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, so he wrote to the Dragon Court.

This matter was passed to Ouchi, but it was also chewed hard, the current emperor is a sincere and filial son, seeing such a story, quite annoyed Lu Chengyong and his wife. However, the Queen Mother was sympathetic and said: "Although the son is not appropriate, the father is even worse." The matter has come to this, it is better to be together than to disperse. A few words changed the emperor's mind, and only ordered the officials to conclude the matter.

This is an official, all of them are people with seven tricks, and they figured out their intentions and concluded that the Lu family was divided into lawsuits, and made it clear that the two rooms lived separately and should not disturb each other again. If there is a violation, Yunyun will be punished according to the law.

When Lu Huancheng returned home, he was frightened when he learned that this matter was not good, and he heard that the friend he introduced was taken by the government and almost killed with a cane, and he was even more frightened. It was easy to learn that the mountain bandit lawsuit was not held accountable to him, and he was about to plan again, but he accepted the judgment of the government. Although the Lu family was full of resentment and indignation, because his family was all bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, they had no support, and they didn't dare to offend, but they were at peace with each other.

Xia Chunchao heard about this at home, although it was not in line with his wishes, because he knew the temperament of his in-laws' family, he was also relieved and threw away his hand.

Since then, Lu Chengyong has often lived in his wife's house in the countryside and has no contact with his parents all year round. During the New Year's holiday, Lu Huancheng and his family also took advantage of the New Year's Festival to send their family members to get close, but they were not to be welcomed. After a long time, Lu Huancheng and the Liu family saw that there was no hope, so they also broke off contact.

At the end of this year, there was a heavy snowfall in Beijing, Lu Jiashi went out to incense, but he ate a few mouthfuls of cold wind, and when he returned home, he became seriously ill. She is getting old and her body is declining. The Lu family has left since the Xia Chun Dynasty, no one has taken care of the housework, and the family business has long been deserted. Lu Huancheng is not a person of filial piety, Lu Jia's illness, everyone is lazy, poor care, and he survives until the spring of the next year, and then he dies.

Grandmother died of illness, but it was a major event, and Lu Chengyong and Xia Chunchao had to go home for funeral.

When they returned home, they saw that the family business was desolate, and the two did not say anything.

When Liu saw his son and daughter-in-law returning, he only came to the backer, looked at his son and cried for a long time, and then pulled Xia Chunchao to the inner room, holding hands and crying, directly complaining of bitterness and remorse.

Xia Chunchao said: "I know that my mother-in-law hates me, why should I come back to ask for this hatred?" The prime minister has left all the rewards of the court here, and the mother-in-law takes care of it for the rest of her life. I advised my mother-in-law to say a word, in the future, I will stand up at home, think about everything, and don't always have soft ears. It's still a long time, and there's an aunt there, so what's going to happen in the future? Without further ado, he shook his hand and went out.

After Lu Jia's coffin came out of the funeral, the husband and wife returned home again, and they had nothing to say to each other.

Time flies, and it has been two years in a hurry.

Lu Chengyong's legs were already good, and he returned to the imperial court to resume his post, received an errand for a military general in the capital, and never went out again. It's just that Xia Chunchao is used to living in the old house in the countryside, so he has never moved back to the city.

On this day, it was early summer dusk, the crows returned to their nests, and the sky was getting dark.

Xia Chunchao sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard and did some children's needlework. That Xia Yuqing was three years old, which was the age of a toddler, stumbling and playing in the courtyard, pestering Changchun to pick flowers and leaves with her.

After a while, he only heard a sound on the door in front of him, and Changchun smiled and said: "It must be the young master who is coming to the house, where does grandma see the meal?" ”

Xia Chunchao was already pregnant for more than six months, her belly was high, she was lazy, she only glanced at the ground, and said: "Sweep this ground, carry the table out to eat, the courtyard is cool." ”

A few girls agreed to clean up before they lifted the table out, and Lu Chengyong had already stepped into the door.

Xia Chunchao saw her husband returning, supported her waist, and was about to get up. Lu Chengyong had already strode forward, sat on the side, and said with a smile: "You don't have to move, just sit." Xia Chunchao also said with a smile: "Somehow, this time it's only been six months, and my belly is so big, and I feel like I'm falling very much when I walk around every day." Lu Chengyong squeezed her hand and said, "It's just two months, I wasn't at home when you gave birth to Yuqing last time, and I will definitely accompany you this time." ”

Xia Chunchao smiled and asked again, "How has that been going on lately?" Lu Chengyong said: "Today, the saint has made an order, copied the Hou Mansion, and exiled the mansion for three thousand miles, and will leave in two days." Xia Chunchao said with a smile: "They still have today, I still think they are big trees with roots, and they can't fall down." Sister Fu came to ask me to ask Feng Zhou to go, saying that I wanted to enter the palace to confront him, but I just said that I was just a dead ghost. In the past two years, there has been a lot of competition with them, and they have never been sliding. Lu Chengyong said: "Situ Zhong wanted to get rid of him for more than a day or two because of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and he didn't know what to check, and he was planted today." ”

Xia Chunchao sighed and said, "I only hope that Sister Hong knows in the spirit of the sky, and it can be regarded as this evil breath for her." Pity her for her youthful and good age, so she died in such a daze. Lu Chengyong nodded and said, "When I take a break, I'll go to her grave to have a look." ”

When Xia Yuqing saw her father coming back, she stumbled forward and hugged her father's knees. Lu Chengyong picked her up and put her on his lap.

Oh, a few girls came up with food, and the family of three had dinner together.

Xia Chunchao was inconvenient, Lu Chengyong took a spoon to feed his daughter porridge, saw the crystal bun on the table, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Today, when I came back from the court, I passed by our shop, but I saw that the Hexiangzhuang in the wall was closed, I don't know what the reason is." ”

Xia Chunchao said: "Sister Fu came to eat tea, and when she talked about it, it was as if a favored concubine in the palace had eaten her stomach, and it turned out to be an errand with Xiangzhuang's dim sum." If something like this happens, it's not surprising that they can't do business. The Shen family has been squeezing us a lot in the past few years, if it weren't for Sister Fu's help, I don't know what kind of field the business would be. ”

Lu Chengyong listened to this, nodded, and did not say anything more.

After dinner, the husband and wife went back to the room together.

Xia Chunchao settled his daughter to sleep, came back and sat in front of the dressing table, while removing his makeup and taking off his head, he said: "Since the Wang family returned to his parents' house, my brother has never remarried, and now he says that he wants to straighten that girl, and my father came over to ask me what I mean." I thought that my brother was also a good person, and the family was not as good as it used to be. It's not that I don't look down on that girl's background, but this kind of stealing chickens and dogs is not a serious person's style, I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to get on the stage, so let her be an aunt. ”

Lu Chengyong finished freshening up, stepped forward, hugged his wife's fragrant shoulder, plucked a silk flower off her head, and said in a low voice: "Your family's affairs, you can make up your mind." The next is my birthday, in addition to that bowl of longevity noodles, I still want to ask the lady for accommodation, I don't know if the lady is willing to do it? As he spoke, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Xia Chunchao raised his head, his eyes were like water, and his lips were smiling: "This is up to you, and you won't be an example in the future." 166 Reading Network
