Section 2 Concubines

Xinxian is a large city with a population of 100,000 households in the south of Chu State, and it is one of the cities that must pass through to the 100,000 mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The criss-crossing streets and the bustling downtown highlight the prosperity of the new county. Compared to the exquisite luxury of the Qing clan and the nobility of the northern city. The location of the Lu family in Dongcheng looks simple and simple, full of rich historical heritage.

The Lu family has existed for thousands of years, and from the establishment of the Xia Dynasty by Emperor Qi to the present, no matter what changes the mainland has undergone, the existence of the Lu family cannot be shaken. The Lu family's profound heritage is terrifying, just talking about the power of money, even if it is the Chu State in the glorious period, it cannot be compared with the Lu family.

Compared with the prosperity and liveliness of the rest of Xinxian, the place where the Lu family is located is as quiet as a paradise, independent from the rendering of red dust. The Lu family's mansion covers an extremely vast area, almost summing up the entire eastern city of Xinxian County.

The sound of reading aloud came from the Lu family's study hall, and dozens of Lu family children in white clothes shook their heads and followed Mr. 's voice. A thin figure outside the study hall was lying by the window and listening carefully to the words of Mr. Zhong in the study hall, without any vigilance or defense.

The stick fell silently and slammed into the thin boy's shoulder, and the boy suddenly let out a scream. With his right hand, he comforted the beaten shoulder, his cheeks were red and he looked at the person in front of him indifferently, holding back the tears in his eyes. The man with the wooden stick stood indifferently in front of the young man, without the slightest sympathy, and some were just ruthless and heartless.

The boy's screams also interrupted the environment of the study hall, and the teacher looked at the people outside, respectfully saluting and not daring to move. The disciples in the study hall also trembled, only a young man with a different temperament looked at the person outside the window with a quiet frown.

The man with the stick was about to continue to shoot, but the young man said unhappily, "Fifth uncle, why bother, Qikun just wants to study." What's more, Qikun is the concubine of my Lu family, even if the clan uncle and grandfather don't like it, they don't have to treat Qikun like this."

The fifth uncle looked at the young man, without indifference and ruthlessness, the cold that people couldn't look at disappeared, replaced by the warmth of spring, and then said "Qi Qian" with a smile and doting

"Fifth Uncle" Qi Qian sighed slightly, "Can you see Qi Qian's face and let Qi Kun go"

The fifth uncle frowned slightly after hearing this, and looked at Lu Qikun who was sitting on the ground with disgust, the thin and malnourished body and dirty appearance made the fifth uncle want to do evil, and finally turned around and left the study. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the fifth uncle leaving, even the old gentleman who taught felt relaxed.

But soon thinking of Lu Qikun outside, the old gentleman walked outside the study hall and looked at Lu Qikun with disgust and indifference. At the same time, the children in the study hall also looked at Lu Qikun with dislike, and some even threw out waste paper and smashed it directly on Lu Qikun's body.

"Enough" Lu Qiqian said angrily, and immediately let the temperature around him drop, making the children of the study hall bow their heads, it was like making a mistake.

Lu Qiqian walked out of the study hall and came to Lu Qikun's side, ignoring the dirty Lu Qikun, and stretched out his hand to pull up Lu Qikun, who was sitting on the ground. Lu Qikun shook his hand and looked at Lu Qiqian calmly, then turned around and left the study hall and walked towards the depths of the Lu family's mansion.

"Hmph~ It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin"

"You deserve to be taught a lesson by the fifth uncle."

"A lowly race is a lowly seed, and it is never possible to become a noble person"

Countless children in the study hall couldn't help but curse when they saw Lu Qikun leaving, and when they saw the situation they had just treated Lu Qiqian. Lu Qiqian looked at Lu Qikun, who was staggering and looking embarrassed and lonely, and only sighed slightly.

"Shut up" Turning to look at the children of the Lu family who were constantly cursing, Lu Qiqian said in a cold tone.

In the deepest part of the Lu family's mansion, there is a barren courtyard, which is the place where the Lu family's sinners are banished. It's just that for countless years, there were only a handful of exiles here, and even for nearly a hundred years, this place was deserted. It's just that since 20 years ago, Lu Qikun's family has been exiled to live here.

Lu Qikun is the concubine of the Lu family, and as a concubine, he should not be like this, but God will make people. Lu Qikun's father, in the dispute between the ministers and ministers, stood in the wrong position, affected the entire Lu family, wrecked in Yingdu, and even compensated countless money and food. Although it will not shake the foundation of the Lu family, it will still make the Lu family unable to enter the political center of Chu for twenty years.

This kind of situation has never happened before, which made the old man Lu extremely angry at that time, and even more resentful of the other brothers. As a result, Lu Qikun's status in the Lu family today is not as good as a slave, and he can only barely rely on his own labor to survive.

"Young Master" An old man stepped over, looked at the embarrassed Lu Qikun, and shouted anxiously and concernedly.

Lu Qikun looked at the old man, no longer calm and indifferent, and smiled and said, "Grandpa He"

"Young Master, what's wrong" He Lao asked with concern, looking at Lu Qikun who pressed his hand on his shoulder.

Lu Qikun smiled slightly, pretending to endure the shoulder pain easily, and said indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just that the shoulder is a little sore."

"Young Master" He Lao suddenly understood, his expression was gloomy and his eyes were sad. How could He Lao not know such a situation, because this is not the first time. It's just that every time such a teenager seems to be relaxed, but He Lao understands the pain, but he just doesn't want to show it to himself.

Lu Qikun looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, in the Lu family's mansion for ten years, everyone was indifferent to him. Even the subordinates and maids are the same, only the old man in front of him has always cared for him and accompanied him all the way to the present. The old man's surname is He no name, he is the person who was married by his mother, and he is the only person who survived the events of that year.

Lu Qikun helped the old man back to the dilapidated courtyard, poured a cup of ordinary well water for the old man, and then went into the house next to him to prepare dinner. Cooking and stir-frying on the fire is extremely skillful, and at the same time, the heart is also silently echoing, the ancient poems that I eavesdropped on in the study hall today.

Night falls, covering the earth, and the stars arch over the moon. The bustle of the new county is still the same, and the Qing clan and nobles of Beicheng leave the mansion in a luxurious carriage. The Lu family's mansion in Dongcheng is still quiet, but the lights are bright as day. Countless members of the Lu family left to make an appointment with the Qing clan and the nobles.

Lu Qikun lay quietly on the simple bed, constantly recalling the knowledge he had eavesdropped in the silent reading hall, and the old man had already fallen asleep and snored slightly.

In the front yard of the Lu family's mansion, Lu Qiqian sat in the wing room and kept answering the Lu family's old man's examination. Old Man Lu's face was full of relief, and he kept nodding his head very satisfied.

"Very good, Qi Qian," Old Man Lu smiled.

After hearing this, Lu Qiqian saluted respectfully, and his manners made Old Man Lu extremely pleased.

"Grandpa, can you let the younger brother of the Qikun clan enter the study hall to study" Lu Qiqian said suddenly, which caught the old man Lu off guard, and then frowned and looked gloomy.
