The girl leaned over, bowed him back, and then raised her eyes and said sincerely.

"Uncle, I want to meet them, there are some things I want to ask."

The old man did not rush to answer her, but asked rhetorically.

"Young master, you figured it out, right?" Willing to accept the position of the young master, willing to return to the family, right?

The girl's face was condensed, and after a moment she nodded slightly. The old man was kind, took two futons from behind the medicine cabinet, spread them on the table on the side, and made a gesture of invitation to her.

"What the young master wants to know, why don't you tell me first, I must know everything I know."

Also, she was a little too anxious. Now that I don't know much about the Lu family, I should do some understanding first.

"Then please ask the old man to tell me about the Lu family."

The two sat opposite each other, and the old man smiled slightly and began to talk to her about the Lu family.

"The Lu family's way of ruling is slightly different from that of other families, the head of the family has all the right to decide, followed by the three elders, each with different powers."

"They are in charge of the affairs of the family, big and small, but they all obey the head of the family."

"The heads of each generation and the patriarch are directly appointed by the previous incumbent, and this is the only place where they cannot interfere."

"Or rather, this is the only vacancy in the power of the head of the house."

"In other words, the head of the family does not have the power to choose, appoint, or even remove the patriarch, right?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Yuhua lowered her eyes, faintly worried, it seemed that she still thought about things too simply. As if to see why she was worried, the old man continued.

"The young master does not need to worry, the patriarch must obey the orders of the family master. And most of the people who inherit the position of the head of the family and the patriarch are the children and brothers and sisters of the ancestors, and the Lu family will not have infighting. ”

Mostly, it seems that she is one of the very few of them, and she is not related to the Lu family.

"So, why did you choose me?"

The old man shook his head.

"All we got was the order left by the head of the house, and the rest didn't know about it. If the young master wants to know the specific reason, he has to ask a few patriarchs. ”

Yes, the secrets of the Lu family are never made public. The things she wanted to know, the many questions she had, and the people who solved her doubts were different.

She asked instead.

"So where are the three elders now?"

"The previous head of the family was Lu Xingyun, and the three patriarchs were, Lu Huanting, Lu Xinghe, and Lu Yuanshu."

"One has died, and before that, she has left the choice of heir in the hands of the head of the family. One travels the world and hangs the pot to help the world. ”

"The other was taught by the first two patriarchs, and he was bound by a woman. Although he was also worried about the affairs of his family, he has not returned home so far, and only sends a messenger every month to deliver some messages to us. ”

"How can I reach them?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"The whereabouts of these two patriarchs are uncertain, so they can only wait, but they always come back once a month. At that time, I will inform the two patriarchs first, and then send someone or blow a bone whistle to deliver a message to the young master, and you can meet here. ”

"I've been talking about it for so long, and I haven't asked the old man what to call him."

The old man's eyes lit up.

"I am the housekeeper of the Lu family, from the old master, to the head of the family, and then to the young master. The family took pity on him and gave him the surname Lu and the name Chaozong. ”

"If the young master is willing, you can call me Uncle Zong."

She has been headed for three generations, and she is really qualified. After reacting, he immediately called out.

"Zongbo."

The old man immediately smiled and responded.

"Huh."

"Young master, do you have anything else to order, or do you need us to do it?"

"Zongbo, the other tribesmen I saw that night. Are they all housed in the backyard now, or do they have another place to live? ”

"During the day, the clansmen are scattered all over Beixiang to make a living, and only at night they will gather in the backyard. It is not only waiting for the arrival of the young master, but also encouraging each other. ”

Duanmu Xihua's heart was a little astringent, because she was too familiar with this kind of waiting. What a torment, from sunrise to sunset, the four seasons are reincarnated.

Everyone is saying that it is impossible, and even I feel that there is little hope, but I still have to keep waiting. Why?

If she didn't come back, they wouldn't be able to wait for their young master, would they continue to wait like this?

Moreover, since she has taken the position of the young master, what do she want to do for the Lu family. She was actually very afraid, afraid of not being able to repay, and afraid of being disappointed.

But there is always something to face, she asked the old man.

"What are you asking for?"

Lu Chaozong stroked his white beard, they went too far. The mountains and rivers are full of empty thoughts, the flowers in front of them are sorrowful, and they can't return home day and night.

All that is asked is ...... He looked at the girl and replied.

"I wish I had a home."

There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere, and the young man lying on the medicine cabinet on the side was deeply sleepy, without any sign of waking up, and the sound of leisurely snoring sounded between the two.

She answered.

"Yes, it will."

The old man seemed relieved when he heard her answer, and smiled slightly.

"So can the young master say now, is there anything we need to do, and the subordinates are willing to serve the power of dogs and horses."

She thought about it, but there were still some questions that she hadn't figured out.

"I have something I want to ask the patriarch, and if they come back, ask Uncle Zongbo to send a message to me. In addition, I had a chance before, and I met another patriarch in the clan, Lu Xinghe. ”

"He looked like a teenager, but the attendant who accompanied me told me that he was fifty-seven years old."

"He is very good at medicine, and Uncle Zong also runs such a pharmacy. The Lu family is quite accomplished in terms of medical skills. ”

The girl joked.

"This shouldn't be the so-called rejuvenation technique."

Lu Chaozong shook his head, he still knew this.

"This is a secret poison of the Loulan royal family in the Western Regions, called Instant Fanghua. The poison does not endanger the mother, only the child. ”

"From the age of seven or eight, the body and appearance of the poisoned person will stop growing and remain in the appearance of a child. By the age of twenty, life will come to an end. ”

"They died at the youngest age, at the age when they were the most prosperous, so they are called Instant Fanghua."

"The prince of the galaxy, Miss Wan Ting, and the head of the family, they are all from the same mother. But the head of the family is the eldest son, and after he was born, the wife fell for such a strange poison. ”

"The Lu family has been looking for a way to crack it, and Miss Huanting and Prince Xinghe were born together. They were originally used as medicine people together, all kinds of medicine tests, medicine refining, and medicinal baths. ”

Unexpectedly, Miss Wan Ting has grown up normally since she was eight or nine years old. Only the son of Xinghe, until he was sixteen years old, his appearance did not change. ”

"Seeing that I will be twenty years old in a few years, if the poison has not been resolved, it is self-evident what kind of fate it will be."

"But the prince of Xinghe seems to be very open-minded, and even comforts his wife and brother, as well as his sister in turn."

Although Lu Xinghe was sixteen years old at the time, he still looked like a child. The eyebrows and eyes are soft, without a bit of sophistication. He always smiled heartily and told the people around him.

"Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Instead of living in fear, it is better to seize the time you have and do something meaningful. ”

"The son of Xinghe is gifted and intelligent, and he has been rolling in the medicine jar since he was a child. For the art of Qi Huang, the ears and eyes are touched. ”

"He didn't worship any gentleman, but he just studied medical skills in the library every day, and it was easy to practice good medical skills."

The meaningful thing he did was to pretend to be a healer, to walk all over the world, and to try his best to help others.

"A year later, as he approached the age of twenty, he was traveling to Spring Mountain, and he met a monk."

When the monk saw the child, he thought it was amused, and stopped to ask him two questions.

The first question is.

"You can't even save yourself, why do you want to save others?"

Lu Xinghe is a young man, and he is still childish. Ran's dark eyes were full of aura, almost blending in with the surrounding landscape, he replied.

"Crossing others is like crossing oneself, and crossing oneself is like crossing others."

The monk nodded, asking a second question.

"You can save all things and save all people, but you can't save yourself alone, don't you feel that the sky is unfair?"

The boy continued.

"Those who cross people cross themselves, and those who cross themselves cross the sky."

The monk laughed and said three good things in succession.

"I hope you can always remember what I said today."

When the monk left, he left a book, and Lu Xinghe hurriedly chased after him, but there was no trace of him. It's just that in the mist, the voice of the monk came.

"With this book, you can heal more people."

This monk is a master who knows the destiny of heaven and can be a master of heaven.

"It's a strange book, and the prince of Xinghe has been studying it with great concentration. The hard work paid off, and finally the antidote was made. ”

"After that, although his body grew from a child to a teenager overnight, his appearance remained forever at the age of seventeen."

"Since then, the Prince of Xinghe has traveled all over the world, taking it as his mission to help the common people in the world."

It turned out that this was the reason, and after answering her current doubts, Duanmu Yuhua nodded and said her request.

"Uncle Zong, I want a clansman who is proficient in medical skills to follow me."

Lu Chaozong's eyes lit up.

"That's easy!"

He sat up from the futon, walked around to the back of the medicine cabinet, and slapped the young man on the head who was still dozing.

"Lu Xiaobai, get up, don't sleep."

"Lu Xiaobai! Lu Xiaobai! ”

"Lu Xiaobai!"

“……”

No matter how the old man shouted, it could even be called an angry roar. The boy was still dozing, and the thunder could not move.

Lu Chaozong smiled apologetically at her, and then continued to breathe at the young man. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to muster up his strength.

"Lu Xiaobai, get up and eat roast chicken."

In the next second, the young man jumped up from the medicine cabinet, his black eyes shining.

"Roast chicken, where is the roast chicken?"

Lu Chaozong turned around.

"Let the young master see it and laugh."

Duanmu Xihua: "......"

The boy looked around, but he didn't find the roast chicken he wanted, and immediately jumped to his feet angrily.

"Old zongzi, I'll roast chicken!"

"What kind of roast chicken, I think about eating it all day long, can you have a little interest."

"What, do you want the master to do something for you? Shut up without roasting chicken. ”

“……”

Duanmu Xihua: "? ”

Could it be that Uncle Zong's helper for her is this young man, she thinks that he looks really unreliable.
