Chapter 30: Parting gloomily eclipsed
"The tree is falling and scattered......"
In the West Flower Hall of the Lu Mansion, after the Lu officials greeted Tang Xian and the others, they returned here again. It's just that there are a few people in the crowd, and if they think about it, they must be intimidated by Yan Fang's defection, and go to the East Flower Hall to show favor to Tang Xian.
A middle-aged official looked around at the left and right, and he sighed lowly, his face already full of resentment.
Zhang Zhen beside him also sighed: "Silence, didn't you add to Lord Lu's blockage with what you said?" Let them go, blame the third young master of Lord Lu's family......"
He sighed lowly.
"Alas......"
The middle-aged official sighed, but was also silent.
There was also a lot of discussion among the officials.
"My lord has always done his best, and he got along very well with the previous county lords. Tang County is respectful of adults, and I am afraid that it is not only fearful. ”
"That's natural, Tang Xianzun Shizun is a Confucian party cadre, and the dispute between Ke and Confucianism is now intensifying, and a neutral faction like an adult is also famous, and there are many obstacles to Tang Xianzun's stupid decree. Tang Xianzun couldn't do whatever he wanted, so he looked at him in every way. Otherwise, why is it so suppressed? ”
"Yes, I have no choice but to marry my beloved daughter to the prodigal son of a merchant family...... As soon as this incident came out, was it just Lord Lu's face that was lost? The faces of the officials of the whole empire have been disgraced! It's not to suppress Lord Lu, what kind of bullshit 'Confucian rule' is done in the county, Tang Xianzun won't be so stupid as to slap himself, right? ”
"Alas, ten years ago, the dispute over the Koru was confined to the upper echelons of government. Now, it has spread the political dispute to the county level? There is a struggle between the two parties, and it is difficult for the two mothers-in-law to be daughters-in-law; There is a tiger in Yongfu outside, and trembling under the hanging sword - this official is doing more and more tasteless. ”
"You, this is too hypocritical. Holding power for officials, and taking care of the family more or less, is better than being an idle cloud and wild crane? Let's get by...... Alas, I just don't know how this day will be. If we are really perverse by Tang Xianzun, where will we go? If you want me to say, it's better to find an opportunity to transfer out of Changzhi. ”
As the last official's gloomy words fell, the West Flower Hall fell silent again, in stark contrast to the noisy East Flower Hall.
"Where's Qi'er? Is he coming? Still not at home? ”
At this time, in the back hall of the Lu Mansion, it seems that the subordinates have been sent to the front to be busy, but there are only Lu Zihe and Lu Yunpeng, who have just greeted Tang Xian.
Lu Zihe asked Lu Yunpeng to press his temples and asked in a low voice, his tone full of exhaustion and depression.
"Him?" Lu Yunpeng's face was suddenly full of anger: "I haven't seen it all the time, and I haven't seen anyone today-Xu has been fooling around in which ** a long time ago, and I'm so happy that I have forgotten to go home, right?" Besides, he still has the face to come here today? ”
Since that day, nearly ten days have passed, and Lu Yuwei's marriage date has also come as promised. Xie Xiuqi has been missing, during which Lu Zihe had something to ask Lu Yunpeng to look for him once, who knew that for several days, Xie Xiuqi's courtyard was only An Qian alone.
asked An Qian where he went, but An Qian was also silent - so covering it up, isn't it fooling around again, what else can it be?
Lu Yunpeng was already indignant when he thought about it.
Lu Zihe sighed tiredly again, but waved his hand and said, "Let him go...... Perhaps, he also knew that he was wrong, so he hid and didn't dare to come to see me, let alone ...... today."
Immediately, he stopped talking, and a trace of pain suddenly appeared in his expression.
Lu Yunpeng's expression also dimmed, he rubbed his brows lightly for his father, but he muttered with resentment: "The child doesn't understand why you and your sister were so good to him in the first place. Otherwise, why not? Even if he were my half-brother, you wouldn't be ......."
Lu Zihe smiled bitterly, a trace of pain suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he muttered softly: "My father said it a long time ago, he is not your younger brother - you won't understand...... Your sister may understand a little...... It's all fate......"
"Let's go see your sister."
He suddenly pushed Lu Yunpeng's hand away and got up, his expression sad again.
"Later...... It's not like you can see it if you want to......"
He said in a deep voice.
There was silence in Lu Yuwei's boudoir. Several mothers-in-law were busy going in and out, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and there was no joy on their faces - everyone knew that this wedding was a tragedy.
Lu Yuwei sat quietly in front of the dresser, letting the mothers-in-law trim her face and makeup, and inserting all kinds of ornaments into her coiled hair. Even though everything was very cumbersome, when trimming the face, the long velvet threads swept over the face, and it was even more painful. Lu Yuwei remained expressionless and silent.
The fiery red wedding dress was already on her body, but it was incompatible with her pale face, and it was quite ironic.
It's about to be dusk, when yin and yang are intertwined, and when they get married. She will also marry someone else's wife from now on, and the Fang family's welcoming team may also be on the way.
However......
Lu Yuwei closed her eyes in pain, and tears finally rolled down on the beautiful but extremely pale jade face.
"Miss......"
An Xiu, who had been looking at her young lady worriedly on the side, hurriedly walked over and waved her hand to signal several mothers-in-law to go out first.
Then, she hugged the pale man in front of the dresser, and kept saying words of comfort, but in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, and cried bitterly.
The door opened again, and Lu Zihe and Lu Yunpeng walked in one after the other.
Looking at the two girls in the room, one crying silently and the other sobbing sadly, the faces of the two men twitched, and a trace of unspeakable pain flashed again.
"Wei'er......" Lu Zihe was silent for a long time, and finally shouted astringently.
The girl who had been crying silently was startled, but she wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief: "Father, second brother, why are you here?" ”
She forced a smile.
"My daughter is about to get married, so I ...... Don't worry about it, but ...... But it's not what it means. ”
She thought about it, and even more hesitated to cover it up.
Lu Zihe quietly looked at his beloved daughter, and his eyes gradually moistened.
"The matter has come to this, filial piety to in-laws, serving husbands, only looking forward to ......"
After being silent again for a long time, he finally spoke slowly, but when he said that he was only looking forward to it, he did not say any more. His face trembled, and he sighed in pain again.
Lu Yunpeng suddenly clenched his fists and shouted, "We won't get married with this kiss!" I went back to the Fang family's group of despicable villains! They should sue and sue, and they should do what they should do! ”
"No!" Two voices stopped him at the same time.
Lu Zihe sighed again, and he said softly: "Peng'er, don't mess around......"
Lu Yunpeng was already trembling with anger: "But father, is it really my sister - no!" I'm out of the way! What if the world says I'm treacherous? I do things by myself and do it by myself! His family wants to sue Xie Xiuqi, so go and sue! Dead pull down! ”
He clenched his fists and said with indignation, but he didn't even listen to his father's words, turned around and left.
"Second Brother ......"
A soft voice stopped him again.
Lu Yunpeng looked back, in front of the dresser, the pale girl in the red wedding dress had tears on her face, and it was full of sorrow and pleading.
"Second brother......" she called again in a wailing voice.
Lu Yunpeng looked at this eldest sister who had been respected by him since he was a child, and his face full of anger gradually dissipated, turning into an unspeakable pain.
After a long time, he also choked up and called out in a wailing voice: "Sister...... How can you ...... I...... Sister ......"
The girl didn't say a word, she just looked at him silently with tears in her eyes.
Lu Yunpeng looked at the girl, suddenly roared angrily, and beat his chest a few times, but squatted down with his head in his hands. He trembled, tears slowly spilling from the young man's fingers.
Lu Yuwei's face calmed down again, she didn't know what to think, but she gradually stopped her tears. She wiped her face, and when she put down the veil again, her face was extremely calm, and there was a faint coldness on her face.
She turned to Lu Zihe.
"Fathers, daughters are not filial, and they can no longer serve left and right. My daughter is gone, my father doesn't have to worry about me, my daughter will take care of it herself. The daughter of the family has nothing else to worry about, the second brother is filial, the father is healthy, and he only hopes to ......"
She suddenly stopped talking, a strange look flashed on her face, and she gradually lowered her head.
She hid her face in the shadows, her slightly trembling sideburns shaking, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Only An Xiu's face suddenly became very strange, she also stopped crying, looking at Lu Yuwei's eyes became more and more sad and sympathetic, but she was also stunned.
Lu Zihe didn't notice these anomalies, and he sighed under his low breath again.
"Daddy understands, you...... You've got to be good too. ”
He whispered.
Looking at this beloved daughter who has been extremely smart since childhood, a trace of pain, a trace of pity, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he was gradually infected by the girl and calmed down.
The room was silent again, and it seemed that everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, and it seemed that everyone had a thousand words, but there was not half a word in their mouths.
I don't know how long later, a burst of suona sound came from the direction of the front yard, and then, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers.
The bodies of the four people in the room trembled.
The Fang family's welcoming team arrived......
