Chapter 036: Master and Apprentice
In the blink of an eye, it was Layue, and Huzhou changed its normalcy and snowed once in a century. The sprinkling of snow leveled the distant mountains and the near view, and the sight was endless.
In a trance, he is still in Jingshi.
Lu Luo looked at the branches and tips of the trees piled up with crystal white snow, her heart curled up into a ball, she thought of Jingshi, and thought of Yan Xun.
Yan Xun has been marching for almost a year.
Lu Luo sent people to the northwest to inquire about him, and learned that the war was not over, and he seemed to have encountered a strong enemy, and his situation was very tricky.
Yan Xun was not injured, and he didn't think of Lu Luo.
"If nothing had changed, maybe I would have had a baby by now." Lu Luo counted the days, and his heart was desolate.
She couldn't think about it, and when she thought about it, she was full of anger.
Lu Luo didn't want to spend her mind on hatred, so she tried her best to divert her attention. Accidentally aroused, her evil thoughts were all up.
She took a few deep breaths and hurriedly pressed them down.
The warlock's resentment will turn into a disaster for others, and Lu Luo doesn't want to become a person like Bai Xi.
"It's a different year again." The once-in-a-year heavy snowfall in the south of the Yangtze River may be another celestial phenomenon?
The abnormal weather will remind Lu Luo of his master.
The last time Master and Shi Ting went out, it took more than half a year.
This time, it was a year and a half.
Perhaps, the celestial phenomenon of the great chaos in the world has been decided, and Master and Shi Ting can't reverse it.
"When will Master come back?"
Lu Luo was very worried about them, and he also needed the guidance of the master, and he was always worried.
She also sent someone to the southwest to find Shi Ting and Master, but unfortunately there was no reply.
Master has completely lost his voice.
Since the incident of the seventh uncle Lu Jinqian, Lu Luo's life has been very lively in the past few months.
The clan takes good care of Lu Luo's mother and daughter on weekdays. aunts, aunts, sisters-in-law, and cousins always come to the door; In the New Year's sacrifice of the clan, the patriarch actually wanted to ask Lu Luo's opinion.
Lu Luo didn't change his tone: if she wants to talk about feng shui, take three thousand taels first.
These three thousand taels are at the bottom, and more than ten thousand taels will be given after the deed is completed.
It's not that the clan relatives can't come up with so much money, and there is no need to spend this huge amount of money to ask Lu Luo.
Therefore, Lu Luo has almost no business.
Her fame spread farther and farther, slowly infiltrating the Huzhou Mansion.
In addition to waiting for business on weekdays, Lu Luo often goes to her shop, and her shop is slowly improving. Business also came.
She and Bai Xi don't talk much. They don't like each other.
Bai Xi is even more unaccustomed to seeing Lu Luo.
On the tenth day of the lunar month, the biological father of the second aunt, General Xue, died, and the second aunt was very sad, except for the second uncle. No one else around her knew about it.
Lu Luo and his mother went to the house to accompany her.
"You've been taking care of him all these months. Before leaving, he repeatedly said that he had no regrets in this life. Don't be sad anymore. The second uncle persuaded beside him.
Then, the second uncle gave Lu Luo and Wen a look, and asked them to help persuade the second aunt.
Lu Luo and Wen comforted her in every way.
"I'm not too upset. It's just that my heart is a little heavy. The second aunt sighed, "He has no children in his life, and he doesn't even have a person who mourns a soul."
The second aunt can't show up.
Thinking that he was so lonely, the second aunt was very distressed and extremely sad.
As early as the beginning of May, General Xue had arranged his own funeral.
He entrusted two reliable subordinates to handle his funeral. He also reported to the imperial court that he was to be buried in Huzhou Mansion and asked the imperial court to build a tomb for him.
His concubine Aunt Hu was cowardly, and he asked Lu Luo's second aunt to take care of her.
Now that he's gone, everything is in order.
"His old subordinates will help him to help the spirit, don't be too sad." Wen also comforted.
According to the old general's last wishes, he was only suspended for seven days before the funeral.
During the funeral, the second wife did not dare to show up, this is also what the old general meant before his death, don't let the rest of the Shen family know, it chills the heart of the Shen family.
It was the Shen family who raised the second wife, and General Xue repeatedly said before leaving, asking the Shen family to thank the Shen family and remember the kindness.
After the burial, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, the weather was still so cold.
Lu Luo and his mother accompanied the second aunt and quietly went to the grave of the old general.
The second aunt didn't let the second uncle go, lest there be too many people and be seen by outsiders and arouse the suspicion of others.
The old general's cemetery is guarded, but the caretaker has a letter from Aunt Hu and will not stop the second wife.
They went early in the morning.
The morning light was faint, and the soil on the ground was frozen firm, covered with a layer of green frost, and it was crisp to step on.
The sound of their footsteps entering the cemetery alarmed the people who were going to the grave.
In front of General Xue's tomb, two people knelt down.
Looking at the past from afar, a man and a woman.
Among them was a delicate figure, wearing a filial piety dress made of very thick raw linen, and a piece of decayed cloth hung on his chest; And that man, dressed in a dark style, has delicate and elegant eyebrows.
Several people looked at each other.
Lu Luo felt that this man was a little familiar, and he had vaguely seen it somewhere, while Wen and the second aunt looked at this girl.
This girl wears a decrepit filial piety dress, which is the filial piety dress of an unmarried daughter serving her father.
The cold and biting morning light lingered around them, and several people stood silently, not knowing how to open their mouths and how to ask questions.
Because, their own identity is quite embarrassing, and they are afraid of the other party's question.
"Who are you?" Shen opened his mouth and asked.
"I'm Lan Niang." A girl with a heavy filial piety replied to Shen, her voice was hoarse, her eyelids were swollen, and she was obviously crying very sadly.
Who is Lan Niang?
Lu Luo and Wen silently guessed her identity in their hearts, and Shen had already said, "You are Lan Niang?" ”
"You know me?" Xue Lan was quite surprised.
"Yes, when the general was dying, he often talked about you, saying that you were his adopted daughter, and that she followed a gentleman with superb medical skills to the southwest last year." Shen said.
Lu Luo and Wen did not know about this.
They didn't know that General Xue had an adopted daughter.
Of course, the court didn't know that this adopted daughter had a special status and couldn't see the light, otherwise the old general's legacy could be left to Lan Niang.
"I went to the southwest, is it Shi Ting's apprentice?" Lu Luo was shocked.
I've never heard Master and Shi Ting mention it!
"Yes, I am the adopted daughter of the Xue family." Lan Niang said, her voice choked.
She learned that her adoptive father was seriously ill and rushed back, but she didn't expect to be a step late, and as soon as she arrived in Huzhou Mansion, she heard that her adoptive father had been buried.
Lan Niang didn't secretly come to the grave of General Xue, but she only went to Huzhou last night, met Aunt Hu, asked the place clearly, and hurriedly came.
"Who are you?" Lan Niang also asked Shen.
"I am the second wife of the Lu family," Shen introduced himself. She and her husband had a relationship with Xue Liangpeng without knowing Xue Liangpeng's identity and had some dealings with the Xue family.
Xue Lan didn't know the identity of the Shen family, nodded and said, "Thank you for coming to worship my father." ”
Because Xue Lan and this strange man were present, the Shen family's worship was very hasty.
Lu Luo also knelt down and lit three sticks of incense.
After she finished worshipping first, she got up and walked to Xue Lan's side, and asked her, "Miss Lan, you went to the southwest, did you go to find Shiting Shi Gongzi?" ”
Xue Lan was stunned: "Do you know my master?" ”
