144. Looking for relatives

The Lu family in Linzhaocheng is a big family with the same name as the Wang family, and the history is even older than the Wang family. Lu Wang, the head of the Lu family, has long been separated from the court with his family, and lived a rich and idle life in Linzhao City.

However, when he learned that the name of the new champion was Lu Zhou, he was stunned on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately instructed the housekeeper to prepare a carriage and horse to go to the capital.

However, he took his eldest son Lu Xin to the capital early the next morning, and even arrived after a five-day journey, and refused to find a place to stay as soon as he entered the city gate, so he directly inquired about Lu Zhou's affairs, and even asked Lu Zhou that Lu Zhou now lives in the Lu family's house in Jiaoliu Lane.

The Lu family has not been able to close the door for a while, and there are several groups of guests coming to the door every day, Su Xi is tired and has a sore back, but he still has to hold up a smile and deal with those people, Lu Zhou looked apologetic.

He originally thought that it would be better for him to be an official in the capital or to buy a house, but Lu Youzhen said that they were not going to stay in the capital, and when his life was on the right track, he would go back to Sifang City with Su Xi, and this house should be regarded as a wedding gift for him and Su Tong, and Lu Zhou accepted it.

In the afternoon of this day, Su Xi just sent off the two female guests, and thought that she could rest, so she heard that Vanilla came to report that there was another old gentleman, Su Xi really didn't have the strength to greet her, so she asked Vanilla to tell people that Lu Zhuangyuan and the head of the Lu family were not there, and it was inconvenient for her to see the male guests, so let people come again tomorrow.

Vanilla went back as she said, but the old gentleman just refused to leave, and said, "If it's inconvenient, I can wait outside the door." ”

The old gentleman stood under the eaves on crutches, determined to wait all the time, this old gentleman is Lu Wang, his son Lu Xin hugged the old man's face and persuaded his father: "Since the person is not here, let's come back tomorrow, you can travel for several days, let's find a place to rest and rest first, and then you will be unbearable." ”

"It's okay, I'm not old." The old man was stubborn, he just refused to go, Lu Xin persuaded him a few more words, and the old man gave him a crutch to drive him to rest by himself, how could Lu Xin dare to talk more, and honestly accompany the old man to wait.

Seeing that the old gentleman was full of white hair, Vanilla really couldn't bear it, so she went back to Su Xi and suggested that they enter the house and wait, Su Xi nodded, and asked Vanilla to invite someone to the lobby to serve tea.

Lu Zhou came back when it was dark, and as soon as he came back, he heard that an old gentleman had been waiting for him for a long time. When Lu Zhou arrived in the hall, Lu Youzhen came back a moment earlier than him, and was greeting the old gentleman to Su Xi.

As soon as the old gentleman saw Lu Zhou, he stood up, he didn't speak, he looked at Lu Zhou carefully for a while, his right hand that was inadvertently raised trembled, and his eyes turned red for some reason.

"You are ......" Lu Zhou pursed his lips, childhood memories gradually poured into his mind, he "pounced" and knelt in front of the old gentleman, shouting: "Grandfather".

"It's you, it's really you......" The old gentleman burst into tears, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lu Zhou, "Why are you like your ruthless father, just leave, I don't know how to go home for so many years." ”

"Grandfather, it's the grandson's, the grandson should have come to see you earlier."

The other people in the room were stunned, Su Xi and the others naturally didn't need to say anything, and even Lu Xin, who came over, was shocked, he pointed to Lu Zhou and asked the old man: "Dad, is he the child of the third brother?" ”

"You stupid son," the old man glanced at Lu Xin, "When he was a child, you always hugged him 'Zhou'er, Zhou'er', and now you don't know him?" ”

"He was very young when he and his third brother moved to the capital, how many years have they been, how can they ...... Recognize? Lu Xin stared at the old man's darkening face, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became. He didn't dare to talk to the old man, so he simply took a good look at this eldest nephew who had not seen him for many years, he helped Lu Zhou up and said: "Good nephew, I am your uncle, alas, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, it's normal if you don't recognize it, let's have two cups of chatting in a while." ”

"Uncle," Lu Zhou greeted obediently.

Old Man Lu was a little unhappy, he stomped on the ground with a cane, and scared the person to death with a "bang", he glanced at his stupid son coldly, and said, "Master two? You two? You're not going to get a dad too, are you? ”

"Dad, you should take a good rest after so many days, and besides, my mother won't let you drink...... Ouch-" The stupid son was beaten with a cane from his old father, and hurriedly changed his words: "It's a thing worth celebrating to see a good nephew today, let's talk and talk together." ”

For dinner, Lu Zhou naturally ate it with his grandfather and uncle, and Su Xi and Lu You really didn't want to disturb them, so they went back to the room alone and opened a table.

At the dinner table, Old Man Lu proudly praised Lu Zhou: "I really deserve to be the son of my Lu family, I won the champion at a young age." ”

"It doesn't depend on whose son it is," Lu Xin and Yourongyan, "The third brother has been talented since he was a child, what is it for his son to be a champion in the exam, sooner or later he will be the first assistant." ”

"What is the first assistant and not the first assistant, our family is rare? I have to worry about whether I have committed the taboo of the top," Old Man Lu said in disgust, "Good grandson, don't pay attention to your uncle, such a big person has never been smart." You, if you want to be an official, you can be an official, if you don't want to do it, you can go back to Zhaocheng, our family has land and land, restaurants, shops, bookstores, and museums, so what is not more comfortable than being an official. ”

"What grandfather said is," Lu Zhou quietly wiped away his tears, "With grandfather here, Zhou'er is not afraid of anything." ”

"Eh, that's right," the old man smiled, "Don't learn from your unfilial father, our family has been inherited for three hundred years, where is the only 100-year-old Banyue Guo who can move, but your father doesn't listen, and it will be more than ten years since he left a letter and disappeared, what about others?" When I see him, I'm going to break his leg. ”

"Daddy, daddy, they ...... It's been almost four years. ”

"What?" Lu Xin exclaimed in surprise, and the wine glass in his hand fell into the bowl with a "clang", splashing a few drops of soup on the placket of his clothes, but Lu Xin had no time to wipe it.

The old man restrained his smile and did not make a sound, the hand holding the cup trembled and trembled, and finally took the wine glass and smothered the spicy liquid into his stomach, choking the old man with tears.

The three of them ate happily and sadly at this meal, but Lu Zhou had another layer of anxiety.

Now that my grandfather has found him, his life experience is unconcealable, and people who have a heart will know that his father's name is Lu Yao, who was the secretary of the Wenhua Pavilion during the reign of the emperor, and was the confidant of the emperor.

Will the emperor let him go?
