"Why are you here?"

Seeing Huo Qingsong in the courtyard, Song Yuan was taken aback at first, and then his expression was a little strange. There seemed to be some excitement, some anger, or something else, but these expressions were not so obvious. may be because in the Lu family, Song Yuan is trying his best to endure something.

Huo Qingsong saw Song Yuan, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Qingsong specially came to invite my uncle back to Beijing. ”

"You know I'm not going back, but you're still coming?" Song Yuan walked to Huo Qingsong's side and continued in a calm voice: "You go back." ”

"Uncle......" Huo Qingsong just wanted to say something, but saw that several people from the Lu family in the courtyard were looking at him and Song Yuan, so he changed his tone and said, "Uncle, it's better for us to go back and talk about it, or don't disturb others." ”

Song Yuan looked at the people in the courtyard and nodded with a deep groan. Then, he turned to Lu Erniang and said, "Erniang, there are guests at home, I will go back to entertain the guests, so I won't bother you to celebrate for Brother Hong." ”

"Since Mr. Song has and has guests, then I won't keep it." Lu Erniang saw that Song Yuan seemed to be very troubled, and she was a little worried in her heart. But she had no reason to stay with Song Yuan, so she followed Song Yuan's wishes and sent him and Huo Qingsong's master and servant to leave the Lu family.

When Huo Qingsong walked in front of Lu Hong, Lu Hong, who had been frowning since he saw Huo Qingsong, suddenly said, "Have we met?" ”

Huo Qingsong saw Song Yuan's footsteps in front of him pause, so he walked in front of Lu Hong without stopping, but he indifferently dropped a sentence: "I haven't seen you for five years, I don't know how well you practice marksmanship, I hope there is still a chance to learn." ”

"It's you?!" Lu Hong was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect to meet the young general who had a deep influence on him at the beginning. However, when Lu Hong wanted to say something again, he found that the young general had already followed Song Yuan away.

Lu Erniang looked at Lu Hong strangely and asked, "How did you know each other?" ”

"A-Niang, I met at the foot of that mountain when 'Zhao Xiu was lost'. Didn't I say that I knew a young general, and I had a few meetings with him, and then he crossed the river. That young general is the one just now, that ......" Lu Hong touched his head, he didn't seem to know the name of the young general.

Lu Xiang'er knew Lu Hong's thoughts, and immediately said, "His name is Huo Qingsong." ”

"Yes, it's that General Huo." Seeing that Lu Erniang seemed to be thinking about something again, Lu Hong was busy covering his stomach and said, "A-Niang, what delicious food have you made, my stomach is already hungry." ”

"Got it, the meal has already been prepared, just waiting for you and ...... Let's go inside and eat. Lu Erniang paused, didn't say anything about Song Yuan, and pulled Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er into the house to eat.

Lu Erniang took the three small ones and sat at the table to eat, but there was no cheerful atmosphere before. Except for Lu Xiang'er, the other three seemed to be thinking about their hearts. What Lu Erniang and Lu Hong were thinking, Lu Xiang'er could guess a few points. But Chaoxia was also distracted, which made Lu Xiang'er very strange.

Through these days of getting along, Lu Xiang'er has secretly observed and has determined Chaoxia's personality. Chaoxia looked cold, reluctant to speak, and her expression was always cold. But she is not a person with a deep city government and a sinister mind. treats the Lu family with no ulterior motives, but in Lu Xianger's opinion, it is very sincere.

Although Chaoxia sometimes makes Lu Xiang'er find some small problems, such as being in a trance like just now, Lu Xiang'er is strange, but she doesn't care too much. Everyone will have their own little secrets, and Lu Xiang'er is the same, so she doesn't plan to chase Chaoxia closely, she has to know the secrets in her heart.

Of course, Lu Xiang'er was most interested in Song Yuan's secrets. Just after Huo Qingsong came to the Lu family, Lu Xiang'er had thought about the scene after Song Yuan met Huo Qingsong. But Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that after these two people met, they would be different from anything she imagined.

From anyone's point of view, the encounter between the 'uncle' and the 'nephew' will not be as unfamiliar and strange as Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong. It seems that Huo Qingsong has found this place, although Song Yuan didn't expect it, he was very unhappy. Lu Xiang'er could also see that when Huo Qingsong asked Song Yuan to 'go home', Song Yuan was so resistant.

People who have known each other for so long have so many secrets, and of course a raging fire of gossip rose in Lu Xiang'er's heart. She really wanted to know what kind of things Song Yuan and his family had done before. Song Yuan, who had been away from home for so many years, was reluctant to go back.

In fact, not only Lu Xiang'er thinks so, but Lu Hong also thinks the same as Lu Xiang'er. He didn't expect that the young general who had instructed him in marksmanship back then would be involved with Song Yuan. Moreover, Lu Hong thought farther than Lu Xiang'er. During the examination in Jiangling Mansion, Lu Hong seriously thought about Lu Xiang'er's thoughts and carefully observed Song Yuan's behavior. In the end, Lu Hong thought that as Lu Xianger said, Song Yuan was really suitable for his mother.

On the way back, Lu Hong also slowly tried to accept Song Yuan's possible marriage to his mother. When he arrived in Qingshi County, Lu Hong really got used to it. And he also decided in his heart to help Lu Xiang'er fulfill Song Yuan's affection for Lu Erniang.

Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of Huo Qingsong made Lu Hong's heart difficult. Although Lu Hong didn't know Song Yuan's family background, judging from Huo Qingsong, he should not be an ordinary person. Huo Qingsong is a general at such a young age, obviously his background is not ordinary. And Song Yuan is still Huo Qingsong's uncle, according to the standard of the right person, Song Yuan's background should not be much different from Huo Qingsong.

Back then, before Lu Hong left that 'home' with Lu Erniang, he also lived in a high-ranking family. At that time, Lu Hong was very young, but he deeply remembered how dirty and unbearable it was in the seemingly enviable 'home'. In the eyes of ordinary people, there are many grievances and tears.

Thinking back to Lu Erniang, a wife who was married by the Ming media, but finally left, Lu Hong no longer wanted his aunt to live like that. Therefore, Song Yuan's sudden nephew made Lu Hong hesitate again whether he could really let Lu Erniang live a happy life.

As for Lu Erniang, who is the person concerned, it is also because of the encounter between Huo Qingsong and Song Yuan that she has a lot of emotion. Song Yuan's thoughts about her, she couldn't see it. But Lu Erniang always remembers the evaluation of her brother Lu Tai and Song Yuan, who is deeply hidden and has an extraordinary family background. People like this are not something that a businessman like the Lu family can afford.

Back then, Lu Tai saved Song Yuan's life, so he didn't have anything to worry about. Song Yuan asked to stay as Mr. Xixi of Lu Xiang'er, and Lu Tai was also very courteous to him. The two have been friends for a few years, and although the friendship is getting deeper and deeper, Lu Tai always remembers Song Yuan's background and does not dare to treat him as his brother.

After Lu Erniang came to Jiangbei, Song Yuan's help to the Lu family was also remembered in her eyes. Song Yuan never mentioned his family from beginning to end, and he never saw him go home to rob his relatives, and Lu Erniang slowly forgot Lu Tai's words. As time went by, she was slowly moved by Song Yuan's persistence, her closed heart was also a little loose, and Lu Erniang also had some illusions about the future.

When Huo Qingsong came to the door, Lu Erniang understood that her fantasy was fantasy and would not become a reality. Lu Erniang admired Lu Tai's foresight in her heart, and her mentality towards Song Yuan also returned to the beginning of the dullness. Lu Erniang has some small regrets, but this regret cannot be compared with her two children.

Thinking of this, Lu Erniang took a chopstick dish for Lu Hong and asked, "Brother Hong, you haven't told A-Niang yet, how did you do in the exam?" ”

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot to tell my mother. Lu Hong thought of what he found in Luming Academy, and he couldn't stop smiling: "I told Mr. Song all the exam questions I answered, and he said that I have half the chance to enter Luming Academy." ”

After saying the last sentence, Lu Hong remembered that he had talked about Mr. Song, and glanced at Lu Erniang a little unnaturally. Lu Erniang's expression did not change because of Song Yuan, but she was very happy that Lu Hong did so well in the test, and praised Lu Hong a few words.

Lu Erniang's indifference to Song Yuan made Lu Hong breathe a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this is the best. Lu Erniang has not yet shown affection for Song Yuan, so she will not be sad to learn about Song Yuan's true life experience in the future. Lu Hong didn't want his aunt to be hurt by 'love' again.

After chatting about Lu Hong's life in Jiangling Mansion for a few days, Lu Erniang mentioned that Lu Xiang'er had succeeded in distilling liquor, and the finished liquor had been produced. Lu Hong immediately asked Zao'er to serve him a bowl, wanting to taste the 'soju' that Lu Xiang'er said.

Seeing the soju like clear water, Lu Hong picked up the bowl very excitedly, completely ignoring Lu Erniang's desire to speak and stop, Lu Xiang'er's evil smile, and Chaoxia's eyes wanting to see the joke. As a result, just as the three of them imagined, Lu Hong couldn't enjoy such a soju, so he took a sip and snorted half a sip. After swallowing half of the mouthful, Lu Hong immediately felt the hot air rushing to the top of his head. After that, it was as if a fire was burning in his heart.

"It's really, really spicy." Lu Hong looked at the remaining wine in the bowl, hesitated, and still put it on the table.

Seeing this, Lu Erniang hurriedly asked Xiao Tao to bring the prepared soup to Lu Hong, and asked him to press the strength of the wine. At the same time, Lu Erniang glanced at Lu Xiang'er, who was snickering, before saying to Lu Hong: "If you feel dizzy, go back to the room and lie down, and take a good rest by the way." ”

"Auntie, I'm fine. I drank half a sip and it was fine. Lu Hong's face was a little red, and he didn't know if he was drinking, or he was a little shy and embarrassed in front of the three women, so he refused to go back to the room.

In the end, it was Lu Xiang'er who persuaded a few words, and Lu Hong got up and went back to the room, so that Lu Erniang, Lu Xiang'er, and Chaoxia, who were sitting at the table, smiled slightly. It was also this smile that filled the sky above the Lu family's courtyard with a joyful atmosphere again, sweeping away the previous dullness.
