Chapter 70: A Coincidence
"Okay, I'll tell my brother. Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from my brother. Originally, Lu Xiang'er didn't want to say it to Lu Hong, but when she thought of how to let Lu Erniang go to Beijing, she was a little difficult. Therefore, when Lu Hong asked, Lu Xianger wanted to let him know and let him think of a way together.
However, when Lu Xiang'er told the recent events of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, Lu Hong's face was full of anger, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he crushed the teacup in his hand. Lu Hong didn't expect that such a big thing would happen at home, and Lu Xiang'er hadn't told him and Lu Erniang yet.
"Brother, what are you doing, let me see your hands." Lu Xiang'er exclaimed in surprise, and directly grabbed Lu Hong's hand to check. Lu Hong didn't care, just looked at Lu Xiang'er. The gaze was very complicated, with indignation, bitterness, and more pity and guilt.
"Xiang'er, otherwise I won't go to the academy, let's help you run the winery." Thinking of Lu Xiang'er's hardships in the past few years, Lu Hong's heart was like pressing a big stone, and he was a little out of breath.
Lu Xiang'er raised her head in surprise, shook her head again and again, and said, "Then what's the matter, brother, Xiang'er is still waiting for you to be a 'backer' for our wine shop after high school." With you, the future general, as a backer, see who dares to bully Xiang'er. ”
"Backer?!" Lu Hong was slightly stunned, and quickly understood what Lu Xiang'er meant, and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "Okay, my brother will definitely become Xiang'er's 'backer' in the future." ”
Lu Xiang'er only cared about bandaging Lu Hong's hand, and didn't notice his tone, so she nodded and said, "Well, my brother has to work hard." However, now Xiang'er still wants to ask her brother to think about how to let A-Niang leave Qingshi County and go to Beijing. ”
"This, this is a bit tricky." Lu Hong also understood that the most important thing at the moment was the safety of his family, so he calmed down and thought of a way with Lu Xiang'er. But the brother and sister thought about it, and they weren't sure what Lu Erniang was thinking about Song Yuan.
Lu Hong saw that it was too late, and Lu Xiang'er's eyes couldn't open a little, so he asked her to go back to sleep and think about it tomorrow. Lu Xiang'er really wanted to sleep, so she didn't say goodbye to Lu Hong. As soon as she returned to her room, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia distilled soju in a small wine shop, and Zao'er was paid by the three to accompany Lu Erniang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three of them re-analyzed the recent events. The final conclusion is still to let Lu Erniang leave Qingshi County and go to Beijing.
"A-Niang went to Jingshi, so we moved our family to Jiangling Mansion. The original house of Uncle Mu Sheng's house, although it was quiet, was not far from the mansion, and those people didn't dare to make trouble there. Lu Hong looked at the fire in the stove, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly: "It's a pity that this yard is sold." ”
What Lu Hong thought of, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia naturally thought of it. knew that this courtyard where he had lived for three years could not be left, but when Lu Hong said it, Lu Xianger and Chaoxia were still not in a good mood. Especially Lu Xiang'er, for this yard, she could use a few days to design it. Unexpectedly, but because of this incident, I gave it up like this.
"Then how do you persuade your aunt to go to Jingshi?" Chaoxia didn't want the atmosphere to be too depressing, so she turned the topic to the most difficult thing.
I didn't sleep much last night, and Lu Hong, who had been thinking about it, frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "That's it, I'll talk to A-Niang in a while." Let's just say that mine will definitely be able to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, but we are familiar with Jingshi. In order for me to do well in the exam, I asked my aunt to enter Beijing in advance and prepare food, clothing, housing and transportation for me. ”
This reason is really far-fetched, but there is really no other reason. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia glanced at each other and nodded helplessly. The three of them discussed it for a while, and they were ready to talk to Lu Erniang about it at lunch. Then, tomorrow, Lu Erniang will be accompanied by Zao'er to Beijing.
But when Lu Xianger and the three of them came out of the wine shop and were about to have lunch, there was a knock on the door of the Lu family. Zao'er opened the door and saw that it was Song Yuan's follower Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu came from Beijing with a body of wind and dust, which made the Lu family very strange. Even Lu Erniang, who was busy in the kitchen, came to the living room with a look of doubt.
Xiao Wu, who had just entered the house, was very excited when he saw Lu Erniang, and knelt in front of her in two steps, and tears flowed down: "Erniangzi, go and see Grandpa Guo, he, he's dying...... Woo......"
After Lu Erniang finished Xiaowu crying, she suddenly felt that it was dark in front of her and sat down on the chair. And Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia exclaimed in surprise and hugged Lu Erniang to check. Lu Hong stood with his eyebrows raised, walked to Xiao Wu's side with a grim face, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Wu, what happened to Mr. Song, you can tell me in detail." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Wu saw that Lu Erniang was also looking straight at him, so he wiped a handful of tears and said in a choked voice: "Grandpa Guo went to hunt with the emperor a few days ago......"
Things are sudden, and the plot is old-fashioned. Emperor Zhao Changyuan was a son of heaven who valued martial arts and light literature, and he would go out hunting several times a day. This time, Song Yuan, who had just become the Auxiliary Prince, was also among the entourage. It is said that while chasing his prey, Zhao Changyuan suddenly found a deer. This deer is a good thing in the eyes of all emperors in the past dynasties, and of course Zhao Changyuan can't let it go.
So, Zhao Changyuan broke away from the team and went to chase the deer with only a few guards. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to shoot the deer, a bear suddenly ran out. The bear was tall, big, and fierce, and Zhao Changyuan had to shoot the bear while retreating. But he didn't expect that after the bear was hit by a few arrows, he chased after Zhao Changyuan.
Just when five guards were killed and wounded, and Zhao Changyuan was about to fall under the bear's paws, Song Yuan, who was chasing the prey, heard the cry for help and rushed over. Song Yuan came, but he only got five or six attendants, and he reluctantly rescued Zhao Changyuan. Song Yuan took a beating for him in order not to let Zhao Changyuan get injured under the bear's paws.
As a result, Song Yuan has been unconscious since he was carried home. Later, under the treatment of several imperial doctors sent by Zhao Changyuan, Song Yuan's wounds no longer deteriorated, but he was still groggy and rarely awake. Sometimes, in Song Yuan's whispered whispers, it was Lu Erniang's name that was called. The old man Song Beiqiao was very helpless, so he asked Xiao Wu to come to Lu Erniang and wanted her to see Song Yuan.
After listening to what Xiao Wu said, Lu Erniang had completely lost her mind, and sat there without saying anything, just a sad face. And Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong, and Chaoxia looked at each other, and their faces were ugly. Among them, Lu Xianger and Lu Hong's brothers and sisters are in a particularly bad mood.
Anyway, if Lu Erniang and her family of three had not had Song Yuan, they would have died in the hands of King Chen. If it weren't for Song Yuan, the three of them wouldn't have just come to Jiangbei and have a place to live. And when the Lu family moved to Qingshi County, Song Yuan spared no effort to help them.
It can be said that Song Yuan has unconsciously become the kind of father-like existence in the hearts of Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong's brothers and sisters. It's just that the two siblings haven't noticed it or cared about it. Now that he heard that Song Yuan was seriously injured, Lu Hong had the urge to go to Beijing immediately.
Seeing Xiao Wu looking at Lu Erniang with a longing expression, Lu Hong couldn't help but whisper: "A-Niang, A-Niang......"
"Ah, Brother Hong'er is called A-Niang." Lu Erniang was awake like a dream in Lu Hong's soft voice. Seeing Xiao Wu kneeling on the ground, Lu Erniang realized that everything just now was not a dream. Thinking of something, Lu Erniang got up blankly and walked to her room: "I, I'm a little tired, I, I'll go back to the room to rest, rest." ”
Lu Erniang's words hadn't fallen yet, but the door of her room had already been closed. Xiao Wu didn't understand what Lu Erniang's action meant, and turned his head to look at Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er, brothers and sisters. However, the two siblings were also thinking about their hearts, and they seemed to have no time to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, Chaoxia called Zao'er and asked her to take Xiao Wu to eat first and rest by the way. If there is anything, wait for Lu Erniang to come out of the room. Xiao Wu also understood Lu Erniang's personality from Song Yuan. Although he was very helpless, he had to go out with Zao'er.
When there was no one else in the room, Chaoxia said in a low voice: "Xiang'er, Brother Hong, you don't have to worry too much, in my opinion, Mr. Song's injury is probably not so serious." ”
"Sister Chaoxia, how do you know?" Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong raised their heads suddenly, and asked at the same time. Chaoxia motioned for the brother and sister to sit down, and then said, "I'm not very proficient in medical skills, but I also know about general injuries. Judging from what Xiao Wu just said, Mr. Song should have lost blood, and he doesn't seem to have the will to survive, so he will be like that. ”
Lu Xiang'er had also heard of such a condition in her previous life, and nodded in agreement. But Lu Hong didn't know, and said strangely: "Sister Chaoxia, do you mean that Mr. Song is fine?" ”
"Then I don't know. What I said before was inferred from Xiao Wu. However, whether my guess is correct or not, my aunt's trip to Beijing is a must. Chaoxia's last sentence is very meaningful. When Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong heard this, they suddenly remembered that this was an opportunity for Lu Erniang to leave Qingshi County.
"But A-Niang's face is so thin, can she follow Xiao Wu to Jingshi like this?" Thinking of Lu Erniang's temperament, Lu Hong was a little skeptical.
Lu Xiang'er believed in Chaoxia's speculation very much, thinking that Song Yuan would not worry about his life, his heart fell back to his original position, and his thinking was much more sensitive. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up and she smiled slightly: "Since A-Niang doesn't want to go herself, then let's go to the head office as a family." ”
"All gone?!" Lu Hong and Chaoxia glanced at each other, a little unsure of what Lu Xiang'er meant, but Lu Xiang'er didn't plan to say it again. I saw her stand up, gesture to Lu Hong and Chaoxia, and then walked out of the living room and walked directly to Lu Erniang's room.
