"Mother, but it doesn't matter!"

"Since you learned about Yuan three years ago, you have been stuck in the ground, the neighbors and villagers are laughing at you behind your back, you know all day long to read those messy, sideways books, not doing your job, where to work as hard as your brother, you should also read some serious books!" The old lady said and wiped her tears.

Lu Zuo hurriedly stood up straight and returned the salute to the old lady, "The child has worried his mother, the child has been raising his head over the years, and what the child has learned and watched is not as unbearable as you think." If the father's revenge is not avenged, how dare the child forget the major events of our family for a moment! ”

When the old lady heard the child mention this old story, she couldn't help but choke again, "Zuo'er, these are old things, your father has been dead for more than ten years, let's forget about it, these are fate, 'there are many sins in Xia, destiny is destroyed', why do you need your brothers to worry about it!" You brothers only focus on studying, why should you ruin your future for this. ”

"Impossible!" Lu Zuo's eyebrows were upside down, and he said righteously, "How can you forget the revenge of killing your father!" Mother couldn't talk about frustration, if it wasn't for Qin Fu and Lu Xiuyuan's two uncles who were saved, I'm afraid that we would have been in a different place! ”

"But that's long gone! Even if we take revenge, where can we flee to! ”

"Is that the father's enmity settled?" Lu Zuo asked rhetorically.

"But with the current situation of our family, we can't even take out a bucket of rice, can we get revenge? You two brothers are just raising people now, and you can't even see the emperor's face! The mother and son spoke fiercely, and when they said the old lady, they couldn't help but cry sadly!

Lu Zuo listened, pondered for a long time, paced to the window, at this time the moonlight sprinkled on his face through Xuan Yao, Lu Zuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, after pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, I will go with Renxiang for the examination in February next year." ”

The old lady had been waiting for Lu Zuo's words for a long time, and when she heard her son say this, she couldn't help but cry with joy.

The next morning, when Lu Renxiang woke up, it was almost time. The old lady Lu was sorting out the incense offerings in a daze, and Lu Renxiang remembered that today was his father's death day, and he patted his forehead with his left hand and was very annoyed, "Why didn't my mother wake me up earlier, so that I could help clean up together." ”

The old lady smiled, "I've been calling for a long time, and when I saw that you were sleeping deeply, I let you rest for a while!" ”

Lu Zuo had just come back from outside at this time, carrying a sour branch food box in his hand. The old lady smelled the smell, and there seemed to be a smell of meat, and she couldn't help but ask strangely: "Zuo'er, where did such a good food box come from?" What's in it? ”

"This has to be thanks to the blessing of our family!" The corners of Lu Zuo's mouth rose, he pointed at Lu Renxiang with a smile, and then patted the food box, "When I went out, I met Mr. Lu, the villager in the ridge, and saw that I didn't have enough money to buy the three animals, so he helped me advance the silver money, and gave the sour branch food box to the child to pack the three animals!" ”

"When the tomb sweeping is over, this food box can still be used as a little money! Master Lu has always been a good person in the village, this time he helped us pay, and when we were free, our brothers came to the door to thank you! "Lu Renxiang is happy to open the flower arrangement.

Lu Zuo put the food box on the table and said, "The things given by others still have to be returned to others when they are used up, and the money paid in advance must also be returned." ”

After Mrs. Lu finished sorting out her things, she instructed: "Don't talk about this, hurry up and go to the grave." Your two uncles are probably already waiting for you in the mountains by this time. The old lady lowered her voice as she spoke, for fear that others would hear her, "After the worship is over, let your uncle go back to the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered by the officers and soldiers." ”

The Lu brothers nodded yes, Lu Renxiang carried the basket in front, and Lu Zuo carried the food box behind, and went to the mountains in the suburbs.

The autumn breeze is bleak, the rice cinnamon is fragrant, climb all the way up the mountain, the mountains are red all over, and the scenery is beautiful. In less than an hour's journey, the two of them reached their father's grave. Not far away, I saw two middle-aged men, the one with a long beard and a short beard was gentle and elegant, named Lu Xiuyuan. Another bearded man with Hu Tianyuan on his back was named Qin Fu. The two were talking under the camphor tree next to the tomb. Lu Renxiang stopped the two men on the mountain from a distance, "Second Uncle Lu, Third Uncle Qin, my brother and I are late." ”

Lu and Qin clasped their fists from afar and said, "It's not too late, hurry up, otherwise the time for the memorial will pass." ”

When the Lu Zuo brothers arrived at the grave, the grass on the mountain had been swept away, and Lu Renxiang hurriedly made amends, "The two uncles have been waiting for a long time, it's mine, I drank too much last night, and I almost made a mistake today!" ”

"What's the matter, I can sleep late. Your second uncle and I have been waiting for half an hour! Qin Fu blew his beard and stared at him angrily, "I still want to do big things like this!" ”

Lu Zuo smiled and said: "Third uncle, it's my fault, I forgot to call Renxiang!" Lu Renxiang also laughed.

Lu Xiu was very relieved when he saw that his two brothers asked him to push pears and Qi Qi Guer, "It's okay, your third uncle is joking with you!" Renxiang heard that you tried the first place in your township, which is really terrifying! Lu Xiuyuan smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"How dare you make a mistake in front of the second uncle, I heard that you were the champion of civil and military affairs back then!"

"Haha! At that time, if it weren't for your father's kindness, how could I have the day when I and your third uncle Qin would have come out. ”

"Back then, your father saved our lives in the field five times, otherwise, my second uncle and I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago!" Qin Fu said, Lu Xiuyuan was also a little stunned.

Lu Renxiang pulled Qin Fu's sleeve and said, "Third Uncle Qin, tell us about my father's majesty on the battlefield back then!" ”

Qin Fu was about to say when he was interrupted by Lu Xiuyuan, "Now that the time for sacrifice has come, let's bow first!" I'll talk about this when I have time in the future! ”

The four took out the offerings, laid the incense table, and knelt down in front of the grave. Lu Zuo was silent for a long time, and said: "Father, this time, the second brother is also in the examination, and I will definitely avenge the great revenge of our Lu family!" The child has also decided, next year's spring, ready to go to the exam with the second brother, this time it is bound to win the examination and the palace examination, I hope that my father has a spirit in the sky, and bless my brothers to avenge the Lu family. ”

Lu Renxiang couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Why did my brother suddenly want to go to Beijing to take the exam together?" ”

Qin Fu and Lu Xiuyuan were also surprised and delighted, Lu Xiuyuan patted Lu Zuo's shoulder beside him, his face was very relieved, and Qin Fu laughed and asked Lu Renxiang the same question.

Lu Zuo smiled slightly, "Now the time has come, the champion is already in my pocket." ”

Lu Xiuyuan stood up, "It's just that now the Han Emperor has sat firmly in peace, the horse is released in Nanshan, and the people of the world have enjoyed peace for a long time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to shake it!" ”

"Humph! What peace, if it weren't for the eldest brother who took our brothers back then, where would there be his peaceful and prosperous world! That dog emperor caused us to hide on Fengji Mountain every day as grass cowards. Qin Fu said indignantly.

Lu Renxiang looked at Lu Zuo, and his heart was also very angry, "Don't worry, the two uncles, the nephew and the elder brother will definitely avenge the soldiers." ”

After the four of them finished the sacrifice, they chatted for a long time, and when it was almost noon, the little minions under the mountain came up the mountain to inform Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu that the two leaders should return to Fengji Mountain earlier, and the four of them gave up.
