"Mr. Ye, why are you here?" Lu Yanyi said.

Ye Langzhong was out of breath, the clothes on his body were full of dust, and when he came to him, he was taken aback by the scene in front of him: "This is"

"But what's the matter with Deyuan Hall?" Master Lu's eyes were red, and he asked hurriedly.

Ye Langzhong didn't care about the bloodstains on that place, and fell to his knees and cried: "Master! Something happened at home! Since you left, the eldest young master returned to the county seat on his hind feet, and brought many people to him, saying that he was the eldest son, and the family property should have been his, so he asked people to rob and smash it, and turned the house upside down, not only the gold and silver were soft, but all the valuable things were robbed, and now there is nothing! ”

"How so!" Old Master Lu's face turned pale: "Where is this son of a scumbag now?" Why didn't you report it to the police right away? ”

"Master, it's all my fault for being incompetent!" Ye Langzhong burst into tears: "The eldest young master threatened me, saying that if I dare to report to the official and reveal a word, I will send someone to follow the master and kill the master!" I was frightened, and I just thought that he would snatch the silver away, so as not to hurt my lord's life! I'm stupid! I was deceived! Master, I have your heavy trust and let me be punished! ”

"Father, you can't blame Mr. Ye for this." Lu Yanyi hurriedly helped Ye Langzhong up with his own hands, "He is also afraid that you are in any danger." ”

"I'm confused!" Master Lu looked up at the sky: "That son of a son is still in the county?" ”

"After the eldest young master led someone to snatch things away, I came to my senses," Ye Langzhong said: "Hurry up and report to the official, but there has been no news for several days, probably because I have gone far."

"I'm going to find this bastard thing!" Master Lu was just about to take a step, but he was unsteady and fell to the ground!

"Daddy! Master! The shouts came and went, and there was a mess.

After a moment, Ye Langzhong, who was crowded in front, suddenly burst out crying: "Master! It's all my incompetence that hurt you! ”

"Mr. Ye!" Lu Yanyi stood up slowly, tears in the corners of his eyes: "You can't be blamed for this, my father was killed by these wicked people!" ”

The Lu family suffered from this major event, and only Lu Yanyi supported all the follow-up matters. entrusted Ye Langzhong to help Master Lu and the fifth aunt's coffin return to his hometown and bury them properly. The body of the second aunt was also buried in the capital. Although the house in his hometown was ransacked, the shop was finally not implicated, Lu Yanyi wrote a letter to Da Su and Wei Hanpu, and handed over the shop to the two of them.

The third aunt followed the coffin back to her hometown, and she was the only one left to guard the huge house. After sending them away, Lu Yanyi entrusted the arrest of the eldest brother to Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department.

After a few days, news came that in the bitter cold land of Mobei, they found the news of Lu Dagongzi and his party, and they were about to take the silver and go to the country of the Dayue clan.

Just as he was about to flee, he was captured and beheaded there.

By the time these things are over, it's already late spring.

After Hanguang came back from the battlefield, he was appointed as a squire in the military department, and he went out early and returned late every day, conscientious, and much more mature than before. Several children were around, and Mr. and Mrs. Qing Boding were also very happy, and their bodies were more healthy. Qingwan is also a little less worried about family matters. During this period of time, more energy was devoted to Lu Xiufang's marriage.

According to the rules, Lu Xiufang's wedding should have been postponed, but Mrs. Zhu couldn't rest assured of her, and asked the queen to ask her to stay in the capital and get married on the Duanyang Festival in May.

"Xiufang's dowry, I have already prepared," On this day, Qingwan was busy sorting out the goods in the back of the shop, Lu Yanyi suddenly walked in, and a smile had not appeared on his face for a long time: "Master Zhu came to me and said that he wanted to celebrate the ceremony on April 26th." ”

"That's a good thing." Qingwan was also quite happy: "No wonder I asked you, if there is anything you need to buy, you said no, it turned out that you were hiding it from me." ”

"I've been preparing for it since 10 years ago." Lu Yanyi said: "There is only this one sister, I want her to marry in style." ”

"Really?" Qingwan was very moved: "When she was still six or seven years old"

"Yes," Lu Yanyi nodded, and suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "But this is not the most important thing, for our wedding, I have prepared better things." ”

Qingwan was a little surprised: "You didn't say a word!" What exactly is a good thing? ”

"How can that tell you?" Lu Yanyi sold a pass: "You must not show your true face until the day you get married."

"You're always like that!" Qingwan said: "It's like the last time Brother Li Gui happened, after several days, I didn't know until Brother Li Gui left." If it weren't for the little camel, you would have kept it a secret from me! ”

"You can't blame me for this matter," Lu Yanyi said: "My father and the fifth aunt went that day, and I took the time to meet Brother Li Gui in the middle of the night, I didn't persuade him, but until the early hours of the morning, Brother Li Gui didn't want to enter the court as an official, and he had to go back to his hometown in Jiangnan to serve the people, what can I do?" Moreover, Brother Li told me thousands of times not to tell you the news, so I naturally had to follow Brother Li's wishes. ”

"If you tell me, maybe I can persuade Brother Li to stay." Qingwan still couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Lu Yanyi smiled: "Isn't Brother Li just afraid that you will come here?" Okay, okay, I think, this is not a good thing for Brother Li Gui. With his unrestrained temperament, being an official in the court may not be suitable for him. Just like me, it is impossible to be above the court for the rest of my life. ”

"What are your plans?" Qingwan's heart moved, and she hurriedly asked.

"What, you want to leave too?"

"Wherever you go, I'll follow." Qingwan said without hesitation.

Lu Yanyi was greatly moved and hugged her tightly: "We have to see the situation now, but if you believe me, I will definitely find a paradise for us." ”

In the next few days, the two of them focused all their energy on Lu Xiufang's marriage, because of the changes in the family, Lu Yanyi's love for her sister became even more. The Zhu family has always been cautious and does not dare to publicize it, although the wedding is not luxurious, but it is also very warm.

On the third day after the wedding, it was the day to return to the door, and Qingwan came to Lu's house early to help prepare.

Just after the hour, they heard the sound of cars and horses outside, and the two were just about to go out to greet them, when they saw a newlywed couple already entering.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I really seem to have changed as a person, and I am more and more handsome." Qingwan looked at the bride who was still shy, and couldn't help but quip.

"Sister Fang, now I rely on you, when you get married, see if your mouth is still hard." Lu Xiufang smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to drink your and second brother's wedding wine soon!" ”

"You girl, this mouth still hasn't changed," Qingwan smiled: "It's not a proper shape when you talk about it!" ”

"This is not a lie," Zhu Yan also came to help: "What the lady said is true." ”

"Okay, it's only been two days since we got married, and I'm just singing with my wife, and I really don't dare to say a word in the future." Qingwan smiled and said, "Come in and sit, everyone is tired these days." ”

Just sat down for a while, and suddenly saw the doorman come in and report: "A father-in-law from the palace has come to deliver the decree." ”

"Wait, my words will soon be fulfilled." Lu Xiufang picked up her brother and sister-in-law and left.

"At the behest of the queen's mother, General Xuanzhu, Mrs. Zhu, Lord Lu, and Mrs. Lu entered the palace to meet you."

"What's the matter? You girl must know, but you just don't tell me, right? After receiving the order and getting up, Qingwan asked.

"How can I say that?" Lu Xiufang was elated: "Come in and change your clothes, the queen is still waiting!" ”

After speaking, he pushed and pulled Qingwan into the house, and she had to wear a set of red clothes.

Qingwan couldn't help it, so she had to rely on her. Along the way, no matter how she inquired, Lu Xiufang was silent.

When she arrived at the Middle Palace, Queen Zhu was also happy: "Yan'er, you won't be a child in the future, you can't play temper and make trouble, the whole family is counting on you!" ”

"How dare my nephew not listen to my aunt's teachings?"

"Gongzi Lu and Miss Qing have also worked really hard during this time," Empress Zhu turned to smile and said: "I just came back from the battlefield, and I was busy with marriage again, and this palace understands it in my heart." ”

"It's all part of the business." The two of them hurriedly said.

"I called you here today to take advantage of the day when the little couple returned to the door, and there is still a big happy event to say," Queen Zhu said: "Even if it is a double happiness!" ”

At this time, Qingwan already understood a little in her heart, looking at Lu Xiufang, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Gongzi Lu is a hero of the country, and Miss Qing doesn't need to say it, she is private, and she is kind to the palace and the prince. The day before yesterday, the prince also mentioned that he wanted you to get married as soon as possible, and this palace also meant this, but in any case, it can't be too simple and hasty, speaking of Lu Gongzi's merits, how much reward can't be overstated, it just so happened that he saw the emperor, and he had already invited down the holy decree of marriage, and it will come down soon. Empress Zhu said with a smile.

Lu Yanyi and Qingwan couldn't help but glance at each other, although they had imagined countless wedding scenes in their hearts, they had never thought of being married by the emperor.

It's not that they don't dare to think about it, but neither of them regards it as a supreme honor.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult to excuse it, so Lu Yanyi had to pull Qingwan to thank him together.

"Hurry up, hurry up," Queen Zhu said busily: "In the heart of this palace, I have long regarded you as my own children." When you get married, this palace will definitely give you a generous gift to show a little gratitude. ”

"Niangniang, when you drink the wedding wine, don't forget the old slave." As soon as the brocade curtain was lifted, Mrs. Zhu came out of the room, and she couldn't close her mouth happily: "I didn't expect that the old slave would have this day, and I could see the Qing girl get married with my own eyes, it's really enough!" ”

When Qingwan saw her, she also felt very affectionate: "Look at your old body is much better, in the end, the queen mother is taking care of her carefully!" ”

"The queen's grace is profound, and the old slave is inexhaustible in this life."
