"When I was young, I left home and went back, and my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined."

For some reason, this sentence flashed in Lu Xiangsheng's mind at this time.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, when he was twenty-two years old, he was admitted to the Jinshi. Later, he became officials in various places, and his family was also around. But since the second year of King Qin, Chongzhen has been in the military. It was also from that time that it was inconvenient for his wife and children to be around, so he returned to his hometown.

It is now the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, and this is counted, it has been seventeen years. After many years of being away, is it hard? Absolutely hard work!

However, in the early years of Chongzhen, there were fires and famines in various places, and even the imperial tombs could not be saved, and now the emperor is even guilty of his own edicts, which is really a scene at the end of the dynasty.

The most difficult battle in this life should be the battle of the giant deer. Lu Xiangsheng remembered very clearly that at that time, in the face of Jian's invasion, the situation was so severe that he had even written a desperate letter to his wife.

But fortunately, thanks to the dream of Taizu, the emperor is working hard, and finally reviving the prestige of Taizu, since then, the Ming Dynasty has gradually walked out of the atmosphere of the end of the dynasty, the situation is getting better and better, and later, it is to destroy the disaster of the construction of the captivity for many years, and now the Ming Dynasty, at least in most areas, there are no more military disasters and natural disasters, and most of the people are living and working in peace and contentment, as seen in front of this quiet and peaceful scene!

Thinking of these, Lu Xiangsheng felt that all the hard work was really worth it!

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded not far away: "This lord, are you here to find my uncle, Uncle Liaodong?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look, but saw a young man about thirteen years old, holding a book in his hand, staring at him curiously. Obviously, this young man should be his two younger brothers, or the sons of his cousins!

Getting this conclusion, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect to really answer that sentence: children don't know each other, and they laugh and ask where the guests come from!

When his guards heard this, they all laughed, and one of them said with a smile: "This little boy, my family is Uncle Liaodong!" ”

Upon hearing this, the young man's mouth opened wide in surprise, his eyes were full of surprise, and he seemed to be a little incredulous.

"What's the matter, can the uncle still have a fake?" Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

When he said this, this young man came back to his senses, and he didn't come to meet him as Lu Xiangsheng imagined, and called him uncle. Instead, he jumped up and ran into the town, shouting in a very excited tone as he ran: "Uncle is back, Uncle is back......"

At this time, people in the town had actually noticed this group of knights outside the town in the distance. Since there was a rumor that Liaodong Bo was ordered to go home to save his relatives, important officials from all walks of life, whether they were passing by or not, would turn around to Yixing. If you see a lot, it's not surprising.

Of course, ordinary people are still a little afraid of court officials, it doesn't matter, if they don't have a background, they will just watch the excitement from afar.

But at this time, they were watching the excitement and guessing what official was going to run empty, when they heard "Uncle is back, Uncle is back......

Of course they knew the young man, and they knew who he was shouting at!

Therefore, when they heard this, they were dumbfounded for a while, and then they also became ecstatic, and they even ran to the town, shouting excitedly as they ran: "Liao Dongbo is back, Liao Dongbo is back......"

Listening to the shouting, Lu Xiangsheng turned over and got off the horse, looked at their backs, listened to the familiar local sound, couldn't help but smile on his face, and walked leisurely, watching, listening to everything!

Soon, there was a commotion in the town, and the sound of chickens and dogs jumping, and the quiet town became lively at once, and there were shouts of calling everywhere.

It was only a moment of effort, and I saw a few middle-aged scholars rushing out of the town. After seeing Lu Xiangsheng in a big red robe, he stopped his foot, just looked at Lu Xiangsheng in surprise and looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

Behind them, people kept running out, but they all stopped behind the people in front of them. There are more and more people running out of the town, men, women and children, and it doesn't take much effort to make it all people.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng was also looking at the other party, seeing that although he was middle-aged, he still recognized it at once, and couldn't help but smile and shouted: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, you are all here!" ”

That's right, standing opposite him, a little afraid to recognize each other, it is Lu Xiangsheng's two younger brothers, named Lu Xiangjin, Lu Xiangguan; The other two are cousins, named Lu Xiangtong and Lu Xiangkun.

In the original history, Lu Xiangguan, Lu Xiangtong, and Lu Xiangkun fought together against Jianyu and martyrdom in the second year of the Ming Dynasty; At that time, there were more than 100 people from the Lu family who went to the country together. Lu Xiangjin resolutely did not shave his hair and became a monk in the mountains.

And in this position, Lu Xiangguan has also been admitted to the Jinshi in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen and served as the local magistrate. Generally speaking, at this time, he is also an official in a foreign country and will not appear in his hometown, so Lu Xiangsheng has this question.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng speak, several of them came back to their senses, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed one by one, and they both saluted: "I've seen my brother!" ”

Hearing them start talking, the whole town, which was so lively, suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Lu Xiangsheng with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see every inch.

Among them, after Lu Xiangguan finished speaking, he replied to Lu Xiangsheng's question: "I received the emperor's decree, saying that the eldest brother will return to his hometown and province, and also let me go back to my hometown and province, so we can reunite together." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but flash the emperor's figure in his mind, and his heart was very moved. The emperor's grace is really difficult to repay in this life!

Lu Xiangsheng's other younger brothers are just lifting people and showing talents. But a double jinshi, which is already very remarkable. What's more, although one of them is only in the position of governor, he has been named Liaodongbo, which is even more of a great honor.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly dispersed, and several young men walked out with a middle-aged woman in their arms.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he immediately recognized that this was his wife Wang.

Lu Xiangsheng married his wife Wang Shi when he was nineteen years old in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, and at the age of twenty-two in the first year of the Apocalypse, he was twenty-nine in the Tianfu Township Examination. His wife, Wang, was in poor health and had been ill for a long time, and only had one daughter, so she took the initiative to open up the side room for Lu Xiangsheng and then Luo Wang.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Lu Xiang was promoted to Jinshi; However, in the third year of the Apocalypse, the Wang family died, and since then, it has always been the Wang family. There are three children, all of whom returned to Yixing at a young age.

The first half of his life flashed in his mind, and his eyes suddenly locked on a woman and three men behind Wang.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly became a little excited, to be honest, although he didn't know him, he was sure in his heart that this woman and three men were his sons and daughters.

Sure enough, I saw tears faintly in the corners of Wang's excited eyes, but he turned sideways and gestured with his hand: "Quick, come and see your father!" ”

When the three men and one woman heard this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xiangsheng, and said in an excited tone: "The child has seen his father!" ”

As soon as they knelt down, they saw a lady with a baby in her arms, and they also knelt down to salute. In addition, a young scholar, holding a child of four or five years old, also knelt down and saluted.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has never returned home, he has correspondence in letters, knowing that this is the eldest son's daughter-in-law and son, that is, he is already a grandfather. The other one is his son-in-law, and that one is his grandson.

"Good, good, good!" Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng was extremely excited, and hurriedly strode forward, stretched out his hands and said to them: "They are all good children, get up, get up......

When I was leaving, I was still so young, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, they were all so old, and they even had their own children. It's really like a shuttle of time, and time is like an arrow!

Lu Xiangsheng must have regrets about not watching his children grow up, but he doesn't regret it. Isn't it just to let them live well and not suffer from military disasters when they are out on the battlefield?

When I parted that year, the beacon fire was everywhere, and I starved and died in the fields, which was really worrying. Now it's better! It's obviously worth it to pay so much protection!

Seeing their family like this, Lu Xiangguan said with a smile on the side: "Big brother, it's going to be dark this day, let's go home and talk about it, go home and talk about it!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, the character he had cultivated after many years of military career immediately laughed and said, "That's right, let's talk about it when I go back!" ”

Hearing his words, the people who were watching behind him, including some who didn't have time to see the seven aunts and eight aunts, all dodged to both sides, made way for a passage, and respectfully watched Lu Xiangsheng's family pass.

After more than 100 people from the Lu family left, the onlookers were still reluctant to disperse, and they were discussing the affairs of Liao Dongbo.

The content is nothing more than boasting about Lu Xiangsheng, saying how majestic he is; There are even some old people who talked about when Lu Xiangsheng was born, a vision from the sky, or something, in short, it was vivid.

Lu Xiangsheng is not only a very powerful official in the eyes of the common people, but also fights in the south and the north, and has been fighting abroad for half his life. His story is enough for these people to tell for days and nights. At least in the recent days, their topic is absolutely inseparable from Lu Xiangsheng.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, after talking to his family one by one, he went to the grave of his deceased father and mother the next day to pay respects, and he also had to talk to his brothers, teach his children, and even grandchildren, etc., which would be enough for him for a while.

At the same time, there are other people who are ordered to return to their hometowns, but the feeling is different from Lu Xiangsheng.
