Chapter 176: Reunion after a long absence

In the quiet small village, today ushered in a different moment, originally just a poor small village that has been farming for generations, because of the two champions, it was called "champion village" by people in other villages. They are proud of the Lu brothers, and every time they go to the state and county, in front of relatives and friends, they will become the talking point of the villagers to show off.

One or two hundred households in Lujiazhuang all ran out, vying to watch the champion return to his hometown, the bluestone road by the stream, at this time was already crowded with one or two thousand people, shouting "brother", "uncle", "lord" and other honorific titles, Lu Zuo also hurriedly nodded his hand, and shouted with a smile from time to time: "Folks, borrow a ......"

"It's coming, it's coming...... Minister, your mother is here. Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Let's let go and let Mrs. Lu pass first." ”

Lu Zuo looked for prestige, and the crowd branched out independently, an old lady's body was slightly rickety, and although her face was wrinkled, she still looked red and energetic.

"Mother......" Lu Zuo knelt on the ground far away, already in tears. Seeing this, Quiet also quickly knelt beside him. Yin Ji behind him also knelt down with the master. Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu hadn't seen their sister-in-law for many years, and when they suddenly saw them, they wanted to go to their eldest brother, who had been dead for many years, and tears couldn't help but burst out of their eyes.

"Son!" Mrs. Lu was teary-eyed at this time, and with the support of the villagers, she walked up to Lu Zuo and hugged him in her arms, and the mother and son cried bitterly.

Lu Xiuyuan hugged his fist at the old lady who landed, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Mrs. Lu looked up, although she hadn't seen her for a long time, she vaguely remembered that she couldn't say it after choking up for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, it's me! Xiuyuan! ”

"Sister-in-law, and me!" Qin Fu was already crying bitterly, and knelt next to Lu Zuo, "I'm Qin Fu!" ”

"Good, good! Hurry up! Although I haven't seen each other for several years, how can I not remember that I have you to help me all these years! The two children are not at home these days, thanks to the people you invited to help me, this old woman! When Mrs. Lu looked down, she saw a woman kneeling beside Lu Zuo like water, and she was puzzled, so she pointed to the woman and the little boy behind her and asked, "These two are?" ”

When Lu Zuo turned his head and was about to introduce Jing Ruo, his face became a little hot, but fortunately, no one else could see it, so he introduced first: "Behind him, this is the apprentice I accepted in the capital, named Yin Ji, and he is also a child of a hard-working family. Then he said quietly, "This is the Lord Joanqian that the child mentioned to you in the letter. ”

Mrs. Lu was emotional, it can be said that she had mixed feelings, and melted into two lines of tears, and said, "This is the county lord of Qiongqian?" Please be worshiped by the grass people. As he spoke, he prepared to kneel down for Jing Ruo.

Jing Jingruo hurriedly hugged the old lady, and hurriedly bowed to give a salute, "The younger generation can't afford such a big gift!" ”

Qin Fu smiled on the side: "Sister-in-law, now the county lord is the daughter-in-law of your family, and she should be the one who bows down to you." ”

"Don't you dare, the county lord is a daughter!"

Jingruo hurriedly bowed again, "Mother said and laughed, you still call me Jingruo!" ”

A group of villagers who watched the excitement applauded one after another, and they all said that the Lu family was a good minister, not only as an official in the court, but also as such a handsome county lord.

Mrs. Lu looked at her quiet and handsome face, and loved it very much, "Get up quickly, this is not the place to talk, go!" Let's go home. ”

After that, they were ready to go back, but the village fathers of Lujiazhuang were very different, and hurriedly ordered the descendants to get firecrackers to light them, and welcomed the champion master home. So Lu Zuo and the others crossed the bridge and alley surrounded by the villagers, and returned home after a while.

When the senior officials in the village came out, they saw that the front of Lu Zuo's house was crowded with people watching the excitement, so they shouted loudly: "Everyone let go, let's disperse!" The old man discussed with the village fathers, let's meet again in the ancestral hall tomorrow, and let the Lu family Lang come to teach us a few words. If you haven't eaten yet, hurry back to eat. Hurry up, it's all gone......"

With the sound of the high-ranking people driving away, as well as the scolding of his subordinates, the villagers were helpless, and they all left happily.

The senior officer was dressed at the door, and asked his subordinates to wait at the door, and he walked into the house with square steps, and Lu Zuo came up to greet him, and the senior officer was about to kneel down and say goodbye, but Lu Zuo hurriedly stopped.

"It turned out to be a high-ranking outside!" Mrs. Lu stood up from the top to greet her, "Sit here and sit here." ”

The senior staff refused in time, "Juniors don't dare, you sit, you sit." I came this time to visit Brother Gongfu, knowing that he had a hard time on this journey, I specially sent some small gifts, hoping that Brother Gongfu could accept it with a smile! Then he turned back to the man at the door, "Come on, bring in." ”

Three or four people carried two large boxes in, and the boxes were placed in the center of the hall, and the originally small hall suddenly felt more and more cramped.

Lu Zuozuo said: "Second Uncle Gao, there are so many things, where can the younger generation afford it." ”

"Brother Gongfu laughed, these are the meaning of the villagers, I just conveyed it on my behalf, Brother Gongfu must be under his hands, don't thin the hearts of the villagers."

Sitting on the side, Jing Ruoke was dumbfounded, one called the other party the second uncle, and the other called the other party's brother, this generation is difficult to hold her, I want to stand up and salute but I don't know how to speak, so I have to bow to the senior outside, "I've seen the senior outside." ”

Gao Yuanwai hurriedly returned the salute, "I have long heard of the name of the county lord, and the grass people can't afford to accept your gift." Then he clasped his fists and saluted everyone sitting in the hall, "Everyone, there are still important things to do in the next house, so I will stop here for the time being, and I will leave first." ”

Mrs. Lu stood up again and asked, "Don't you finish eating before leaving?" ”

"No, there's still something to do, so I'll leave first."

After everyone saw that the senior officials were walking away, Qin Fu became a little uncomfortable, and snorted coldly, "At a glance, you know that he is a shameless snob." ”

Lu Xiuyuan glared at Qin Fu and said in a low voice, "Third brother, do you know that the disaster comes from the mouth?" ”

Lu Zuo smiled at the third uncle, "He is the rich man in our village, the third uncle is only half right, and his power outside the senior is true, but he is still a little wronged when he is a villain." Over the years, he has sponsored many scholars in the village, and also helped the village to pave bridges and roads, so he can be regarded as a great benevolent person! ”

Yin Ji sneered: "Doing these good deeds, I'm afraid it's also paving the way for building bridges for yourself." ”

Everyone laughed, not caring about Yin Ji's words, Lu Zuo heard it in his ears, remembered it in his heart, and glanced back at his apprentice, I didn't expect that this kid would be able to see through so many accidents and human feelings now, which is extremely incommensurate with his current age, I really don't know whether to be happy for him or worry about him.

Lu Zuo took the opportunity to tell his mother that he was going to re-organize the marriage in the village and feast the neighbors, firstly, because he wanted to be filial under his mother's knees, and secondly, he wanted to officially welcome Quiet Ruo into the house to show his grandeur. At this time, Mrs. Lu shed two lines of tears, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
