Chapter 327: The Provincial Concubine (II)
Lu Zhu's sister-in-law didn't take Lu Zhu and the others in her eyes at all, if she hadn't been pressing, Yang Yi would have pulled out a knife and killed people, but fortunately, Lu Zhu had been looking at the big brother and didn't care about the other party. Lu Zhu was also uncomfortable in her heart, and even the saint had never given her a look at her face today, let alone going to the people's woman.
It's really sluggish! Lu Zhu looked at the helpless eldest brother and was a little speechless, how did he do this eldest brother, even if he was afraid of his wife, he couldn't be afraid to the point that even his subordinates dared to ignore him, the master, right?
"You ......" Liang Hai's face turned red with anger, he opened his mouth and was about to scold, but he was pulled by Luzhu's sleeve, and said softly: "Big brother, it's okay." ”
Liang Hai turned his head, looked at Lu Zhu's peaceful and clear eyes, and said guiltily: "Zhu'er, big brother is incompetent!" ”
Lu Zhu looked at the decadent eldest brother and sighed slightly: "Brother, I'm fine, I just want to ask you, how are you doing?" Is it comfortable? ”
"Comfortable?" Liang Hai repeated it in a daze, only to feel his mouth full of bitterness...... How the life is going, like a person drinking water, he knows coldly, how could he endure it for so long if he hadn't had a child over the years.
"Brother, I'm about to visit the elders of the clan, can you send me there?" Lu Zhu asked, she came to visit her relatives this time not only to see her brother, but before coming, Sima Shu repeatedly told her to bring a few relatives back to Beijing, it seems that the emperor is going to start cultivating power for her personally.
"This ...... Okay, for the sake of my brother, I'll take my sister to meet the patriarch and them, that's right. Why didn't my sister see my brother-in-law? Where did he go? Why did you leave only your mother? Liang Hai suddenly found that the mysterious brother-in-law had not shown up, and all the way was Luzhu Niangsan in Zhang Luo.
Lu Zhu glanced at him and said, "He has some things to do, and he doesn't have time to come over for the time being, so when he has time, my sister will take my brother to see him." After speaking, she stopped looking at Liang Hai and walked out of the alley.
"Zhu'er, wait" Liang Hai hurried two steps to catch up with Lu Zhu and his party, and asked as he walked, "Where did you come from?" Is there a place to stay? ”
Lu Zhu slowed down: "I came from Chang'an a long time ago, and I am temporarily staying in the inn." ”
Liang Hai hurriedly said: "How can you live in the inn?" Tell the eldest brother which inn it is. When I got back, I had someone pick up my luggage and go home. ”
Seeing his impatient appearance, Lu Zhu smiled: "Don't worry, brother." It's okay, I'm just staying here temporarily, and I'll have to go to Chengfang Port to meet Fang'er and her father in a few days, and then we'll go back to Chang'an. ”
"Alas!" Liang Hai shook his head. The two fell into the alley as they spoke. Most of the Liang family lived in another alley. It's not far away. Yang Yi and the others wanted to call a carriage, but she waved her hand and retreated, and the brother and sister talked all the way. It's a little more harmonious than just now.
But said that Luzhu's sister-in-law Zhao was originally the daughter of a landlord in Hepu County, and the family was also considered to be a little wealthy, but she was arrogant by her parents since she was a child, and she was quite famous among the neighborhoods.
Who knew that only a month after the marriage, Zhao's fierceness was fully revealed, not only bullying her in-laws, pressing her sister-in-law, and finally clamoring to live separately, and it happened that she was pregnant with Liujia, and in desperation, Luzhu's father had to let her son go out and live alone. It's just that in this way, Luzhu's parents were also dragged down, and they died when Luzhu was ten years old.
Outside just now, when Zhao saw Luzhu alone and leading a few children over, he subconsciously thought that it was an autumn wind...... For these relatives of the Liang family, she doesn't want to see them in her heart. However, when she returned to the house, she remembered that although Luzhu had only brought her daughter over, her clothes and complexion were not dusty, and her complexion was very healthy, and she did not bring any luggage.
Although the woman had a fierce temperament, she was not stupid, and when she went back to the house and pondered that there seemed to be something wrong with it, she ordered someone to go to the front to investigate. After a while, Yahuan, who was ordered to investigate, reported that the old man and the girl went to meet the elders of the clan, and the Zhao family couldn't sit still, she wanted to go over to take a look, but she couldn't let go of this face, so she had to wait for her husband to come back and make plans.
On Luzhu's side, the two of them talked all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the patriarch's house, Liang Hai pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said: "Zhu'er, that is our patriarch's house, and we still have to call him the third uncle." ”
The courtyard wall is shorter than the eldest brother's house, and there are not so many houses, so it can be seen that the Liang family is not doing very well, there is a rope in the yard, and there are a few clothes hanging on it, and the sound of children frolicking in the yard is heard.
"Bang bang bang bang......" Liang Haihai knocked on the door.
"Who? Wait a minute," came the crisp voice of a young man from inside.
"I, you Brother Hai! Stone, is the third uncle at home? ”
The door squeaked open, and a young junior appeared at the door, looking at Xia Changhai with a smile on his face: "Brother Hai, why did you think about coming over today...... Hey, who is this little lady? ”
"Hehe, this is my sister Zhu'er, I just came back. As an elder, the third uncle should come over to visit. Liang Hai replied.
"Sister Zhu'er? …… Is it the sister Zhu'er who defected to her relatives in Luoyang more than ten years ago? Liang Shishi was shocked, but he didn't expect that the little girl who was forced to go to Luoyang by his family was still alive. When the Central Plains was in turmoil, many people thought that Luzhu had died a long time ago.
"Little Stone, I'm back!" Unexpectedly, the little kid of the year has now grown up, and a tiger and tiger descendant is standing in front of her.
Soon everyone entered the courtyard, and Luzhu first visited the elders of the clan, and then she proposed to take a few juniors to Chang'an for development. Lu Zhu's suggestion caused a sensation, and several young men present were eager to go to Jingshi immediately. On the contrary, the third uncle seemed very calm, and kept inquiring about the details of the green beads, wanting to confirm whether what the green beads said was true.
"Third uncle, Zhu'er came this time, first, to visit the elders here, secondly, to select a few young juniors to go to Chang'an, and thirdly, to prepare to pay respects at my parents' graves."
"Well, Zhu'er is going to worship your parents, this is right, let Shi buy something with you later, as for letting them go to Chang'an with you, this third uncle has to think about it, after all, this is not a trivial matter, even the third uncle can't decide for others. In this way, Zhu'er should not be in a hurry to leave, stay here for a few more days, and wait for me to discuss it with the other old fellows! ”
Seeing that the third uncle said this, Lu Zhu had no choice but to retire for the time being, and after agreeing with the other party to go to worship her parents early tomorrow morning, she led everyone back to the inn. Originally, Liang Hai had to let her move back home, but Luzhu didn't want to cause trouble and refused the kindness of her eldest brother. In this way, Luzhu and his party returned to the inn, and as soon as they arrived at the inn, Luzhu asked Yang Yi and others to buy things for worship.
Nothing happened overnight.
It's about these days that I'm tired from a long journey, plus yesterday's mood swings are relatively large, and I got up when the green bead was on the third pole, got up and got off the bed, and heard the sound of a few children laughing outside, as well as the voices of people from a little distance, so I realized that I was still in the inn.
Got home...... It's an amazing feeling.
Home, for her, is a very indescribable term.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the face of the green bead, although there was something unsatisfactory yesterday, but in general, she was very satisfied, so she couldn't help but hum a song.
The female official Xiu'e was waiting outside the door, did the mother get up late today, the three princesses were she and the palace maid waiting for clothes and dinner, and then were coaxed by the palace maid to go out to play, at this time I heard the song of the mother, knowing that she had gotten up, so I pushed the door in with the toiletries, and said with a smile: "The mother is up?" Why are you so happy today? ”
Lu Zhu smiled: "What day is not happy in this palace?" It's just that I was in a very good mood yesterday. ”
The female official Xiu'e smiled lightly, helped her sit down, and while breaking up and recombing her hair, she asked, "Niangniang, do you want to come over and how long are you going to leave?" ”
Lu Zhu thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave in a few days, is there any news from Your Majesty?" ”
Xiu'e replied: "Your Majesty sent someone to come last night, I wanted to tell Niangniang, I knew that Niangniang didn't come to disturb after she fell asleep, but she got up early in the morning and didn't go out yet." ”
"Well, you go and tell the person who came, and you said that you will go back to the palace in two days, don't let Your Majesty worry!"
"Yes, slave and maid are going!"
This inn is the best inn in the county, of course, it is also built in the most lively area, across the courtyard wall is a bustling street, green beads listen to the noise outside the wall, but think it is quite interesting.
However, such a comfortable time is rare but not sought, and it didn't take long for Xiu'e to come in to report that the county ordered Wang Shiren and his wife Yu to come to visit.
Lu Zhu is very helpless, she knows that her identity must be exposed, originally according to her character, as long as she worships her parents accompanied by the clansmen, she is ready to go back, and now that the county order is coming, she is afraid that she will not be able to keep a low profile. Just when Luzhu was thinking about his own thoughts, the county magistrate outside the inn was also anxiously waiting for the summons of the concubine.
The county commander Wang Shiren also received a secret decree from His Majesty yesterday, saying that the concubine Niangniang was going to save his relatives in the past two days, and ordered him to take care of the safety of the virtuous concubine Niangniang in the county.
I came to visit early this morning, who knew that Niangniang was busy yesterday and got up a little late in the morning, but even so Wang Shiren did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He was just a little shocked, Wang Shiren couldn't have imagined that the most favored concubine of the Holy Lord today was actually from their county seat.
Just when the county order was waiting for the summons, Liang Hai came over with Liang Shi and a few people, and today they were all going to accompany Lu Zhu to worship Lu Zhu's parents. Liang Hai and the others looked at the person standing at the door of the inn from afar, who seemed to be a county magistrate, he thought that something had happened again, and hurriedly walked a few steps.
