The Ling Heng Courtyard of the Shen Mansion was bathed in the quiet night, and the Lu Mansion in the same alley was another scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Stop fighting! Stop it! Dad, things are not what you think, you listen to me! ”

The young man in red was disheveled, howling at the top of his throat while fleeing in panic.

Behind him, a group of small servants were followed in the distance, each carrying a lantern in his hand, illuminating the exquisite and luxurious mansion as bright as day.

And the one who was closest to him and chased him for five laps and still didn't stop was a middle-aged man with a thick stick in his arm and an angry face.

It is his own father, the head of the Lu family who sits firmly in the position of the richest man in Ancheng, Lu Yu!

"You stinky boy, why don't you stop me?! A few days ago, you committed that human trafficking thing, and it finally stopped, and now you want to add a servant girl? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! Tighten the skin for me! If I catch you, I'm going to beat your ass! ”

In the end, he was a person who had practiced martial arts, Lu Yu chased for nearly half an hour, and his physical strength did not decrease at all.

He held his stick and struck the nearby gilded columns as he ran, and all the way up, the gold dust flew all over the sky, and he didn't know how much silver he had wasted.

The movement behind him is so big, where does Lu Jinghuai dare to stop? If you're not careful, the stick will land on his ass.

He ran as fast as he could, mentally counting the time.

"Dad, as long as you throw the stick, I promise not to run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage outside the courtyard wall.

Not sooner, not too late, just in time.

The boy laughed loudly, rushed to the wall, jumped to the ground, and landed easily on the edge of the carriage beyond the wall.

The little guy who was driving looked faint, and he was not surprised by the behavior of his second son who suddenly jumped out of the wall.

"Jing Huai, but you're causing trouble again?"

A quiet and gentle voice came from inside the carriage, a slender hand lifted the curtain, and under the moonlight, a young man in a royal blue brocade robe, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, looked like his voice.

Lu Jinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, bent over and got into the carriage, and complained: "I didn't make trouble, but my father was unreasonable and insisted on chasing me to fight!" ”

"If it's true that Dad misunderstands you, you can explain to him well, what are you running?"

The man sighed softly and shook his head amusefully and helplessly.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and the wide Zhu Gate was kicked open from the inside, shaking the gold foil paper wind lamp hanging high on the eaves of the door and swaying.

Lu Yu walked out with a group of small servants, pointed to the carriage and said angrily: "Son, don't get out of here quickly!" Do you think that when your eldest brother comes back, I won't beat you?! ”

Lu Jinghuai was so yelled at him that his scalp was numb, he gritted his teeth, and looked at his eldest brother, "Brother, do you believe me?" ”

Lu Jingcong thought of the incident he asked the little servant to tell him during the day, and his brows furrowed, "But it has something to do with the addition of a new maidservant?" ”

Lu Jinghuai nodded busily.

Lu Jingcong smiled, got up and lifted the curtain: "Go out, I think Dad is right." ”

"Brother, things are really not what you think!"

Lu Jinghuai tried to explain, but the tall and straight figure had already gotten out of the carriage.

The boy had a bitter face and jumped out of the car as if he were dead.

Lu Yu saw that he had been grinding for a long time before coming down, so he picked up the stick and was about to greet him.

"Brother! Save me! ”

Lu Jinghuai shouted and hid behind Lu Jing.

Lu Jingcong, who had just finished socializing, had a faint smell of wine and tiredness.

The business is busy and trivial, he often goes out early and returns late, and even has to go to other state capitals for many days to deal with affairs, and the opportunity for a family of three to get together like tonight is really rare.

In my ears is the cordial noise of my father and younger brother for more than ten years.

At this sound, he looked up at the plaque of the Lu Mansion illuminated by the wind lamp, and his eyes were filled with a little warmth.

"Dad, don't fight yet. What's the matter, let's go in and talk slowly. ”

The elegant and gentle man smiled and snatched the stick from Lu Yu's hand and handed it to the little guy on the side.

Lu Jinghuai patted him on the shoulder gratefully, grimaced at Lu Yu, turned around and ran into the mansion quickly.

In the splendid front hall, the three men of the Lu family sat opposite each other.

The little servant served hot tea and consciously retreated to the door.

There are no maidservants in the Lu Mansion.

To be precise, after Mrs. Lu died, there were no maidservants in the house.

Lu Yu's affection for his deceased wife is stronger than Jin, he is unwilling to marry another, he has been designed by a woman several times, and almost made a big mistake, so he sent away all his maidservants, and devoted himself to business and childbearing, and there was no distraction.

Thinking of his deceased wife, the middle-aged man's expression unconsciously became gentle.

Lu Jinghuai glanced at him quietly, and couldn't help but hook his lips as well.

He deliberately cleared his throat and made a distressed look, "Dad, things are really not what you think!" As soon as I entered the door, you whipped me with a stick without saying a word, and you didn't even give me a chance to explain! ”

Lu Yu's face turned a little pale, and he snorted coldly: "Then I want to listen, how do you explain." ”

"The last time I bought and sold people, I can't tell you anyway. I'm still saying that, I didn't do it, someone deliberately framed me! ”

Lu Jinghuai's gaze wandered over the faces of the two opposites, and he met their suspicious eyes without surprise.

He scratched his hair in annoyance and sat down in despair, "Forget it, I know you don't believe me." ”

Lu Jingcong took a sip of tea and said softly: "Then I won't mention the last thing." Tell me, why do you suddenly want to add a handmaiden? ”

"I ......"

Lu Jinghuai was about to speak and stopped, his fair cheeks quickly became suspiciously red, especially under the bright light.

"You what you! The handmaid I bought last time is now missing, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet, this time, don't think about it! ”

Lu Yu's tone was impatient, and his eyes swept around, as if he was looking for a suitable tool for beating people.

Lu Jinghuai's face flushed, and he still couldn't say a complete sentence.

How is he going to speak, he met a cute girl on the street, and he wanted to be by his side every day?

Lu Yuqing has been lacking desire for many years, and he has not been able to understand the cattiness for a while.

But Lu Jing came from the end of the day, and when he saw his younger brother so ashamed, he basically figured out his thoughts in his heart.

After Lu Yu interrupted Lu Jinghuai for the second time, he smiled and said, "Dad, there are some things, maybe you really have to rely on him." Jinghuai is already sixteen years old, and it's time to grow up. ”

Lu Yu was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted, immediately turned his anger into joy, slapped the table and said, "Jinghuai, you have a favorite girl?!" ”

He didn't ask where the woman came from, because he didn't care.

Over the years, the eldest son's marriage made him exhausted, and then he figured it out, and the emotional matter barely came, so he simply didn't bother to care about it.

Now when it comes to his youngest son's marriage, he really doesn't dare to ask for it at all, as long as it is a woman, as long as his son likes it, he will give his full support, and he can't wait to immediately come to the door to hire and give the family affairs down.

He really wants to hug his grandson!

Looking at the entire Lin'an City, which man has not yet become a grandfather at his age?

He's in a hurry!

Because this is not only his wish, but also the wish of his wife.

Lu Jinghuai pulled his sleeves unnaturally and swallowed his saliva silently.

Who can tell him why his father looked at him as if he was going to strip him naked?!

The young man only felt that his face was embarrassed, and even his voice trembled a lot: "Dad, don't listen to the nonsense of the eldest brother!" Me, I'm just...... Oh, I just want to add a handmaid! ”

Lu Yu said "yes" three times in a row, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes deepened a little with a smile.

Lu Jinghuai's face was confused, "Dad? ”

Lu Yu ignored him, stood up by himself, walked out with a cheerful step, and whispered in his mouth: "Yao'er, did you hear it?" Our son is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and we will be able to hold our grandson soon......"

"Dad, where are you going? Will you say yes or not? ”

Lu Jinghuai chased him out.

In the brightly lit corridor, the middle-aged man who has gone through the vicissitudes of life has lost his back as it was in the past.

The babbling mischievous boy has grown up, and he's getting old.

The young man, who has always been nervous, suddenly felt a little sad.

A slender hand rested on his shoulder.

He turned around and faced a face as gentle as jade, "Brother." ”

Lu Jingcong stood side by side with him, staring at the figure that was gradually moving away, for a long time, and whispered: "Dad, this is going to the ancestral hall to talk to my mother." Don't worry, he promised you just now. ”

Lu Jinghuai snorted, jumped on the railing, and sat down with a big grin, "Even if he doesn't agree, I will find a way to get him to agree......"

The words gradually disappeared, the young man frowned, and suddenly lowered his head in discouragement, "Actually, I have only met her today, and I only know that her master calls her Ah Jin...... Brother, if I suddenly find her, will I scare her? ”

Lu Jingcong stood quietly with him for a while, raised his lips and said, "Sincerity is spirituality." From childhood to adulthood, apart from the reluctance to study, what is not done by your temperament? ”

Lu Jinghuai thought about it and couldn't help but smile, "It's true!" ”

"So, do what you want, while your heart is still hot, while everything is just beginning."

Lu Jingcong patted him on the shoulder, his gaze penetrated the layers of courtyard walls, and landed in a certain direction, like deep affection, like bitterness, and even more like regret.

"You have to study hard, and in the future you will gain fame and glory to the lintel. You must marry the woman you love, and grow old with her. And I'm ...... In this life, he is destined to live up to his father's expectations. ”

The night breeze blew, blending his last words into the warm lights under the eaves.

It's like a sigh.

^^

Bite!

Open the branch line, Lu Jingcong's past.

A Taoist friend who did not want to reveal his real name: "Lu Er, everyone said that you used fake silver to buy and sell people, do you have anything to say about this?" ”

Lu Jinghuai: "I'll say it again! I didn't do it, master! Oh, fake silver! ”

Ten thousand years of backpot Lu Jinghuai.

The kind that a big black pot carries to the end.
