135. Message
In the blink of an eye, it was the time of the year's lychee harvest, and Jiang Wumeng wrote to say that he had sent a basket of lychees quickly.
Su Xi has been looking forward to the arrival of lychees day and night since receiving the letter, looking like a gluttonous cat.
Finally waited for the lychee on a lazy afternoon, she couldn't wait to peel the bowl to eat, the sweet juice was permeating the taste, so sweet that her eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile couldn't be hidden.
"It's just a plate of lychees, how can you eat it like this." Lu You really felt a little funny, he didn't like sweetness, and he really couldn't understand Su Xi's happiness.
He peeled a lychee and handed it to Su Xi's mouth, saying, "This is the last one, and the rest will be eaten tomorrow, otherwise it will be on fire again." ”
Su Xibian flattened his mouth, took a mouthful of lychees, swallowed them reluctantly, and said: "I really envy the second brother, he is in Lingnan, and he can eat a lot of lychees every day." ”
Who knew that Lu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this.
He and Jiang Wumeng hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Jiang Wumeng, who often traveled around the world, seemed to be tied up by something at home in White Night City this time, and he had been there honestly for more than half a year, which was really strange.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Xi said strangely.
Lu Youzhen shook his head and said: "I think of Wumeng, he has always been meticulous in his work, never doing things that he is not sure of, and the things that can hold him for more than half a year are unprecedented, how tricky is that." ”
"Didn't he last write to him and say it was a matter of his family? Maybe his family is giving him a blind date! ”
"I've always felt a little unsure."
Lu You really thought about it and thought about it, but decided to send someone to White Night City to inquire, he called Lu Feng and ordered him to go to White Night City in person, and also instructed: "You inquire in the city first to see if something happened to the Jiang family." I wrote to inquire several times, but he refused to tell me clearly, presumably because he did not want to implicate me, and you should not alarm his people until you find out the situation. ”
Lu Feng received the order and hurried to White Night City.
Seeing Lu Feng leaving, Lu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Whether it is the fall of the First Prince's Mansion or the change of the Lu family, there are too many secrets in it, I know some of them, and there are many things I don't know.
"Although I want to find the murderer of my mother, I can say something unfilial, and as I get older, I have become less and less obsessed with it.
"Recently, I have been fine, just waiting for your third brother and them to leave home after the exam, but my heart is urgent, as if something terrible is going to happen. Xi'er, I'm really going crazy. ”
Su Xi didn't know how to comfort Lu Youzhen, so he could only hug him tightly and wrap his uneasy heart with the scorching temperature on his body.
Just when Lu Youzhen was anxiously waiting for news from White Night City, another news came that made him angry.
He grabbed the note handed over by Lu Nian and didn't bother to explain it to Su Xi, and ran to his uncle Fu Mingxia's house with a sullen head.
Jiaoliu Lane is only two streets away from my uncle's house, and it is only a tea cup to pass by. These days, Lu Youzhen has come to his uncle's house with Su Xi every once in a while to eat, and he has long been too ripe to be cooked. But today, Lu Youzhen's steps are heavy, and his uncle's house, which is close at hand, seems to be far away in the sky.
The handwriting on the note is clearly in my mind and lingers. He should have thought that the only thing that could be maintained by his uncle was the Fu family, even if his uncle and Fu Hongguang had a bad relationship, they were still father and son.
He stood in front of the Fufu Gate, under the steps he had stepped on in the past, his legs as heavy as lead, and he could not lift them for a long time.
"Crunch-" The door of Fufu suddenly opened, and Fu Nan, the little servant next to his uncle, walked out. Fu Nan and Lu Youzhen are also familiar, and seeing his unrelenting appearance, he can naturally realize that it is unusual.
He hurriedly ran over to support Lu Youzhen, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with my cousin?" But if there is anything uncomfortable, go and ask the doctor to show you. ”
Lu Youzhen glanced at Fu Nan, moved his lips, and spit out a word for a long time: "Uncle......"
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, suddenly not wanting to go in. Uncle is more than just an uncle to him!
The death of his mother coincided with the whole family moving to Sifang City, a new environment, a new home, a new servant, everything was so strange, his father used up all his strength just to fool the eyes of the capital, his mother treated him generously but not closely, and no one around him could understand and comfort the loneliness and fear in his heart, only his uncle.
His father didn't like him to associate with his uncle, so his uncle came to see him at night, spent countless dark nights with him, and taught him to read, write, and practice swords and boxing.
In his heart, Fu Mingxia is not only an uncle, but also a father-like character. But his uncle has been shielding the murderer of his mother, and this murderer is still his grandfather, what should he do?
Lu Youzhen was at a loss, only to hear Fu Nan say, "The master is eating, take you there", and Fu Nan carried him into the house.
Fu Mingxia had just finished drinking the soup and was about to use the rice that the little maid had just served, when he saw Lu Youzhen come in, his eyes inadvertently softened, and he motioned to the little maid to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and also ordered the kitchen to add two dishes that Lu Youzhen loved to eat.
"What's going on?" Fu Mingxia asked, "What about your daughter-in-law?" Didn't come along? ”
Lu Youzhen only stared at his uncle and didn't speak, and Fu Mingxia realized that something was wrong with his nephew, he put away his smile and asked, "Something?" ”
Lu Youzhen spread his hand in front of him woodenly, and the thin piece of paper had been crumpled into a ball at the moment, lying pitifully on Lu Youzhen's palm. Fu Mingxia hesitated for a moment before picking up the ball of paper, and he understood what was going on at the beginning.
Fu Mingxia threw the pieces of paper back into a ball and threw them out at random, and saw that the little maid had reloaded a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat first, and go to the study to talk after eating." ”
After finishing speaking, he ate by himself, and intermittently served dishes to Lu Youzhen.
Lu Youzhen naturally didn't have the heart to eat, he barely coped with a few mouthfuls and put down his chopsticks, and waited for Fu Mingxia to finish eating slowly and methodically before going to the study together.
"Ever since you came to the capital, I knew there would be such a day," Fu Mingxia said with a sip of tea.
"Tell me, uncle, that's not true!" Lu Youzhen's eyes were full of pain.
"Ah Zhen, you are really good, uncle is proud of you," Fu Mingxia's tone was full of relief, "I can see you grow into an excellent teenager and marry a sensible wife, uncle has nothing to worry about, the uncle you want to know will tell." ”
"Uncle ......"
Fu Mingxia waved his hand and stopped Lu Youzhen's words. He said slowly: "You should know that I don't have a good relationship with your grandfather, and why I have come to this point today has to start with your mother." ”
"I have had a very good relationship with your mother and your aunt since I was a child, and I began to go out to study art at the age of ten, and the opportunity to return home is limited, but I can always keep in touch with them, and your mother and aunt are always willing to talk to me about anything.
"But there was a certain time when I didn't hear from them for a long time, so I was a little worried and came back to see ......"
