Chapter 562: Wei Clan (Second Watch)
"For an old case from decades ago." Lu Shuyi took over: "There are some things we want to ask the old lady face-to-face, just to ask for an understanding." And the two families were one family decades ago, weren't they? Since it is a family, some misunderstandings should also be resolved, so when will it be possible to repay each other for injustice? ”
"Old cases? Grudge? Pan Yu interrupted Lu Shuyi's words with a star, and said coldly: "What have you all heard?" ”
"Did you just hear about it?" Lu Shuyi asked rhetorically: "Judging by your performance, it should be all facts." ”
"I don't know what the facts are." Pan Yu also wanted to deny it.
At the door, a grandmother suddenly came and said, "Uncle, the old lady wants to invite these three distinguished guests over for tea." ”
Everyone's eyes fell on the grandmother at once.
Pan Yu recognized that it was Mama Zhou, his grandmother's personal grandmother.
Mama Zhou is full of silver threads and folds on her face, she should be very old, but her spirit is quite good.
Pan Yu suddenly hugged Mama Zhou, her voice became soft, and said, "Why don't you come here in person, just order a little girl to come." ”
Mama Zhou shook her head and said kindly: "I still need to come to this matter in person, the old lady said, if you send a girl who is waiting for you to come, you may not be obedient." ”
Pan Yu coughed dryly, his eyes swept over Lu Er's face, and said, "Then you can go with Mama Zhou." ”
Second Master Lu took Wu and Lu Shuyi to salute Mama Zhou, although Mama Zhou is a subordinate this time, but she should also salute for this longevity.
Mama Zhou has a tooth in her mouth, and her speech is still a little leaky. Haha smiled and said, "Distinguished guests are polite......"
While making a gesture of invitation, he said, "Come with me, the old lady is waiting for you after brewing tea in Fu'an Hall." ”
The three of them followed Mama Zhou to Fu'an Hall, and Lu Shuyi secretly looked at it along the way, the Pan family's mansion seemed to be more exquisite than their Lu family's mansion, with its water pavilion and towers, carved beams and paintings, it should have cost a lot of money and thought.
And Fushoutang is extremely quiet in this bustling, and there are only lush green bamboos planted around Fushoutang, and there is not even a single flower to be seen. The tone of the house is also dark and gloomy. There are no delicate carvings, and there are no bright ornaments.
It seems that Wei is also a quiet person.
When she arrived at the door of the main room, Mama Zhou stopped at the door and didn't go in, but said, "The old lady is inside." Please, three. ”
"I'm tired."
The three of them returned the salute to Mama Zhou. Then they went into the main room in turn.
The room was well lit. There is a smell of sandalwood, and occasionally you can hear the sound of knocking on the wooden fish.
Hearing the footsteps, the sound of the wooden fish also stopped abruptly. An old voice said, "Here you are." ”
The three of them looked at the source of the sound, only to see a Buddhist shrine enshrined in the western room, and an old man with silver hair was kneeling on a futon and chanting sutras.
Wei's?
Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, but heard the old man say, "You sit down first, there is freshly brewed hot tea on the table." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, sat on the chair silently, and there were three hot teas on the desk, Lu Shuyi smelled it, it was Lu'an tea.
Wei, on the other hand, got up from the futon tremblingly, and walked towards this side with a crutch.
Only then did Lu Shuyi see Wei's appearance clearly, with thin cheeks, her face was very pale, and although her eyelids were a little drooping, it was not difficult to see that she should have a pair of particularly beautiful big eyes when she was young, and they were very gentle.
And Wei's eyes stared at the face of Second Master Lu, and after a long time, he smiled faintly and said: "Well, sure enough, it's the Lu family, you are very similar to your grandfather, but your eyebrows and eyes are like your grandmother's." ”
She said lightly, not hearing the slightest emotional fluctuation, let alone a trace of hatred.
Second Master Lu was stunned, when he came, he thought that when he saw the Wei family, the Wei family would be furious and count all the grudges of the year on his head, but the Wei family did not.
Also surprised were Wu and Lu Shuyi, this Wei was different from what they thought.
Seeing that they didn't speak, Wei couldn't help but smile and sat down and said, "What? Think I'm going to scold you? ”
Second Master Lu had an embarrassed face, and his fingers turned the tea bowl and said, "I didn't expect you to be so indifferent." ”
Wei Shi took a deep breath, she was wearing a string of agarwood Buddha beads on her wrist, she gently plucked one bead after another, and sighed: "I'm old, I have long forgotten the past, if you didn't come, I shouldn't have seen the Lu family again in my life......"
Her tail note dragged on very heavily, and finally she couldn't help coughing, she coughed repeatedly, her pale cheeks were a little red, and there was a wheezing sound.
Lu Shuyi could hear from her coughing sound that she should be sick, and she was not lightly ill.
"You...... You okay? Second Master Lu asked, after all, the Wei family is also an elder, no matter what the grievances between the Wei family and the Lu family are, she has always given birth to a child for the Lu family.
Wei stopped coughing, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just an old problem." She stared, as if recalling the past: "When I was pregnant with a child from north to south, I couldn't drink hot water in the cold moon and cold days along the way, so I often drank it with snow. Then he sighed, "Hey...... Count this disease has been with me for most of my life......"
After saying that, there was another cough.
Second Master Lu and the Wu family had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
On the contrary, Wei Shi said with a frank face: "I knew that sooner or later, this matter will be known to your Lu family, and it will always come......
"Since you know we're coming, you must know what we're going to ask, right?" Lu Shuyi asked in a low voice.
Wei nodded: "I know, you want to ask me why I want my son to repeatedly target the Lu family, right?" ”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Wei Shi said to himself: "If I said that I didn't instruct, do you believe it?" ”
Wei's expression still couldn't see the waves.
Lu Shuyi felt that it was impossible.
There were so many people in the Wei family back then, it was impossible for her not to hate.
Seeing that they were silent, Wei shook his head and said, "I was still young back then, and I was only thirteen years old when I met Lu Jingzhi. ”
"Thirteen years old, ......" Wei sighed with emotion, as if he was recalling good memories, as if he was sighing for his old age, and even more like saying that he would make a big mistake when he was young and ignorant.
And Lu Jingzhi is Lu Shuyi's great-grandfather.
Wei continued: "That year, my mother was seriously ill, and I went to the pharmacy with a handful of money to get medicine for my mother, but the doctor said that I didn't have enough money and insisted on kicking me out. I was desperate at the time, I was afraid that my mother would die of illness without medicine, and Lu Jingzhi appeared in front of me at that time. ”
Wei's face was very soft, and she said softly: "I remember very well, he gave the owner of the pharmacy a tael of silver and asked him to prescribe medicine ...... for my mother for several days" (to be continued.) )
