The guards around General Lou couldn't look past it, so they wanted to step forward to theorize, but they were stopped by General Lou.

The young guard was annoyed, "General! ”

Although General Lou has known that the main house is ruthless for so many years, but when he sees it with his own eyes today, he has a feeling in his heart, and the remaining family affection in his heart has been completely wiped out at this moment.

In the past, even if his parents and brothers hated him and disobeyed them, he would always be unhindered from entering and leaving the house, and the old servants would ask the second young master how to do it, but now, heh! It was like entering a stranger's home.

Although he has not seen his family for a long time, it is difficult to defend the border, and he cannot return to Beijing, but in order not to worry the elders in the family, he will bring a portrait of himself home every year, which can be regarded as letting his mother and brother see his appearance.

Before, he specially informed the main house of his return date, and now the family did not come out to greet him, and now when he arrived at the door, he was disgusted and driven away by the little servant.

But if the people in the main house pay a little attention to him, a son who has been away from home for many years, they will also let people know that he is waiting at the door in the painting, no matter how bad it is, is there no old servant in the family who began to serve more than ten years ago?

He Lin stood aside, his eyes widened, he didn't expect that the dignified general of Peking University would be treated like this when he returned home, and the jealousy in his heart had disappeared, no wonder the emperor wanted to give General Lou another house, or in the name of the lord of Fuchang.

He Lin patted General Lou on the shoulder sympathetically, "Brother Lou, my brother will be sent here, and I will return to the palace to resume my life." ”

General Lou clenched his fist towards He Lin.

Before He Lin left, he threw the waist card on his body to the little guy who was guarding the door, and the little guy glanced at the waist card of He Lin's royal forest army. Hearing him call the middle-aged man in front of him "Brother Lou", he immediately reacted, his face turned pale in an instant, he returned his waist card, and stumbled in to report.

He even forgot to open the door, leaving General Lou and his guards outside.

General Lou was still a little excited, but now he has completely calmed down, and his years of leading career have made him an excellent general. But it made ordinary people nervous. This is probably the coercion of the superiors.

Seeing the general's calm expression, the guards became the commanders of the border army again, and immediately stood straight with their heads held high.

It was early afternoon. It's time for a break. It's summer again. Most of the masters in the Lou family's main house were taking a nap, and now they were told that General Lou would come back at this time, and they were suddenly in a hurry.

When the big maid lifted the old lady up from the bed. The old lady also muttered a few sentences, "This second child is too, why don't you come back early or late, and come back at this time, it's really a good dream." ”

The maid waited for the old lady to get dressed, bowing her head and not daring to answer.

By the time the people in the main house were all cleaned up, it was already two quarters of an hour later, and during this time, General Lou had been standing outside the gate.

Although he was not wearing heavy armor, his back was also soaked with sweat in such weather.

The door was finally opened from the inside with a "creak", and the old lady was supported and went out with the people in the second and third rooms.

As soon as I took a look, I saw General Lou standing in front of people with his hands behind his back.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and General Lou is no longer the young man who just left home back then, and standing in front of him is a middle-aged man with gray hair and a beard.

The old lady's eyes widened, and she almost couldn't recognize it, it seemed that she must not have looked carefully at the portraits she had sent back after so many years.

Without waiting for the old lady and the others to react, General Lou took a step forward and respectfully saluted his mother.

The old lady was in a trance for a while, and glanced up and down at the second child, only feeling very strange, there was no warmth in her eyes, but the most was strange.

"Now that you're back, come in!"

Only then did he lead General Lou and a group of guards into the door.

Halfway through, before even arriving at the flower hall, the old lady frowned and asked, "Where is your eldest brother?" He went to meet you at the city gate, why hasn't he come back yet? ”

Although General Lou was accustomed to the indifference of the main house, he didn't expect that the old lady's first greeting was not to ask him how he had lived in Biansai for so many years, but to ask if the eldest brother had come back.

Fortunately, he no longer has expectations for the main house, and he can cope with it as usual.

"Back to my mother, I didn't see my eldest brother." General Lou's words were obviously jerky and detached.

The old lady frowned, and the unhappiness that had been suppressed for many years suddenly rushed up again, she grabbed the crutches in her hand, in the end, she held back, but let the eldest lady quickly order the little maid to call the eldest master and others back.

When the family arrived at the flower hall in the front yard, the old lady asked the juniors to give General Lou a salute.

The eldest lord and the two sons of the big house are not there, only the eldest lady, the second lady who came out, the third lady Lou Xue, the third lady of the third room, some concubines of the second room of the big house and a few aunts who got married.

Zero Zero is always a big family.

Because General Lou was in a hurry to go to the palace to restore his life, he only brought fifty personal guards, and although the gifts for the family members of the main house were prepared, they were not brought with him today.

When the eldest lady saw the ceremony, General Lou said: "I entered the city in a hurry today, and the gifts of the elders and nephews and nieces in the family could not be brought with me. ”

In fact, General Lou does not need to explain, a general has been away from home for many years, and he is the pillar of the family, and he will go home when he goes home, where do he need to bring any gifts.

General Lou's explanation is already to give face to everyone in the main house.

Lou Xue's eyes turned on General Lou, sometimes disdainful and sometimes envious, and finally her eyes fell on the Yingluo pendant on General Lou's waist.

There is a shiny glass inside the hollow pendant, the glass is transparent and pure, shining with a shining light, and the most brilliant thing is that there is actually a colorful insect wrapped in it, which is exquisite! Such glass is worth a hundred times more than the finest amber!

Lou Xue stepped forward to salute General Lou, "Niece Lou Xue greets the second uncle." ”

General Lou nodded, "Lou Xue, you are only a few months away from Ah Zheng, and you are so old in a blink of an eye, and you have grown into a big girl, and the second uncle has prepared a gift for you, and tomorrow I will order someone to ask for it to send you to the courtyard." ”

Lou Xue grinned, "Then Ah Xue thanked the second uncle first, the second uncle has been in Liangzhou for many years, I heard that the Tuhun people there are good at hiding treasures, and they must have seen many treasures over the years, Ah Xue unintentionally saw the pendant on the second uncle's waist and thought it was very good-looking, I don't know if the second uncle can untie it and give Ah Xue a careful look." ”

General Lou doesn't bring any accessories on weekdays, even if they are accessories, they are just some practical weapons, and the glass pendant on his waist was given by his daughter because he put it with his sword, so he only wore it today, but he didn't expect it to be seen by the sharp-eyed Lou Xue.
