Section 149 Chapter 149 Strange Father and Son

Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia accompanied Lu Erniang and sat silently in the carriage. Lu Erniang didn't say a word, and Lu Xianger and Chaoxia didn't know what to say. If Lu Xiang'er didn't know what to do before, but she could meet Zheng Baiyang face to face, Lu Xiang'er was a little worried.

Raising her head to look at Lu Erniang from time to time, Lu Xiang'er was a little anxious, her usual mind was useless at this time, and she actually found a sentence to break the quiet atmosphere in the carriage. Chaoxia also saw Lu Xiang'er's anxiousness, and she didn't know what to say.

"Xiang'er, Chaoxia, why are you two keeping your heads down and not talking?" Since Lu Erniang left the Ministry of Rites Tribute Academy, she has indeed been thinking about things and has not spoken. But when she finished thinking about it, she found that Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia were silent, and she was a little curious. However, when Lu Erniang finished asking, she thought that the two of them might have met Zheng Baiyang, and they were afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.

Thinking about it, Lu Erniang couldn't help but smile: "You two." What Chaoxia just said is very right, those are irrelevant people, how can I think about them. I didn't speak, I was thinking about what to eat at night. ”

"Ah, yes. Did A-Niang think of what to eat? Lu Xiang'er listened to Lu Erniang's tone and didn't look like she was lying, and her heart was relieved, but she still said again with some unease: "Mr. Song heard that you are going to cook a delicious meal at night, maybe he will come too." ”

"Also, he's not going to miss it." Lu Erniang thought that Song Yuan always used this excuse to rely on the Lu family, her tone was very disdainful, but there was a smile in her eyes and the corners of her mouth. When Lu Xiang'er saw Lu Erniang's expression, she really let go of her heart.

Chaoxia looked at Lu Xiang'er's relaxed expression and smiled slightly. But in her heart, she kept Zheng Baiyang and his wife in mind. Even if it is a soldier squire, then the Zheng family's mansion should be easy to find. Thinking of finding an opportunity to explore the Zheng family, Chaoxia unconsciously lifted the curtain to a corner.

Lu Xiang'er felt a cool breath and couldn't help but say: "Auntie, it's better to eat a warm pot at night, drink soup and eat meat, and go to the cold." ”

"Warm pot, that's a good idea." Lu Erniang nodded, and directly raised her voice and said to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, go to the vegetable market, let's go back after buying vegetables." Buy some lamb first, and some ......."

Listening to Lu Erniang chattering about what to buy, Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia looked at each other and smiled, but their hearts were not as relaxed as they appeared on their faces. Lu Erniang didn't care about Zheng Baiyang, but Zheng Baiyang seemed to care about Lu Hong very much. Looking at his appearance, he obviously wanted to see Lu Hong. This had to make Lu Xianger and Chaoxia wonder if Zheng Baiyang wanted to recognize Lu Hong.

Although it is said that Lu Erniang has Lu Xianger and Chaoxia, Lu Hong is her biological son, a son who pins her hopes and confidence. If Lu Hong hesitated a little bit about dealing with Lu Erniang and Zheng Baiyang, Lu Erniang didn't know what would become.

At that time, Lu Erniang appeared at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and Zheng Baiyang didn't have to think much to know that Lu Hong must have come to take the exam. It is conceivable that when the exam is about to end, Zheng Baiyang will definitely go to the gate of the Gongyuan and wait. I don't know what will happen after Lu Hong and Zheng Baiyang face each other.

After returning to Lu's house, Lu Xianger and the others simply had lunch and then packed up the vegetables they bought. And before packing everything up and waiting for Lu Hong to come back for dinner, Lu Erniang began to wander from time to time. Of course, this is still Lu Xiang'er's secret concern, so she has to find out.

Seeing that the sky was getting a little darker, Lu Hong hadn't come back yet. Just when Lu Xiang'er wanted to send Xiao Wu to the Tribute Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites to have a look, Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong, brother and sister, entered the gate of the Lu family. Knowing Lu Xiang'er's plan, as well as Lu Erniang who was standing at the door and pretending not to care, Song Yuan glanced at Huo Qingsong, and then coughed and said, "I just met Brother Hong, and he said that he had something to deal with, and he would come back to have dinner with us in half an hour." ”

Song Yuan said very vaguely, Lu Erniang, Lu Xiang'er, and Chaoxia understood that Lu Hong did not come back after the exam, and he must have met Zheng Baiyang. Lu Xiang'er and Chaoxia didn't speak, and Lu Erniang didn't want to speak, although her expression didn't change, she lowered her head slightly and went back to her room silently.

Lu Xiang'er knew at this time that Lu Erniang had not said that she didn't understand anything, but that she had put it all in her heart. Now that Lu Hong really hasn't come back, the apprehension in Lu Erniang's heart has really appeared. Judging from Lu Erniang's current performance, she is very worried about who Lu Hong will choose in the end.

When Lu Erniang took Lu Hong to leave the Zheng family, there was a book of harmony, but who knows if Zheng Baiyang will regret it. Moreover, Lu Erniang can't ignore it, and no one can ignore it, Lu Hong is Zheng Baiyang's biological son after all, and he is the bloodline of the Zheng family.

"My surname is Lu, Lord Zheng......" Lu Hong looked at Zheng Baiyang opposite with a calm expression, and there was no excitement at all when he just came out of the Gongyuan. Zheng Baiyang looked at the son who was similar to himself on the other side, and he didn't say that it was fake if he didn't touch it at all. But looking at the sneer on Lu Hong's face, Zheng Baiyang couldn't say a word.

recalled that just now at the gate of the Gongyuan, Zheng Baiyang accompanied his wife Yang to wait for the couple's son Zheng Tong, but found that Lu Hong walked out first. At the first glance of Lu Hong, Zheng Baiyang didn't ask too much, and knew that he was his son.

At that time, Zheng Baiyang didn't know why he suddenly threw down the Yang family and walked in front of Lu Hong. And just when he didn't know how to open his mouth to Lu Hong, Lu Hong first opened his mouth and invited him to sit in a nearby teahouse. When Zheng Baiyang heard Lu Hong speak, he didn't know how happy he was. So, he once again ignored Yang's retention and left the Gongyuan with Lu Hong.

Zheng Baiyang didn't see it, after he and Lu Hong left, Yang, who was standing behind, looked at Lu Hong's eyes full of resentment. Lu Hong looked back at her lightly after Yang turned his head, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Lu Hong turned his head and crossed the corner with Zheng Baiyang, one of the students who ran out of the Gongyuan saw Yang and ran towards him. When Yang saw his son Zheng Tong, he had a bright smile on his face. But what Zheng Tong said, Yang pretended to be embarrassed and said a few words. Zheng Tong's expression immediately changed, and he pulled Yang away indignantly.

At the same time, Lu Hong was already sitting in the teahouse with Zheng Baiyang. In the misty mist, neither father and son, who had not seen each other for many years, spoke first. Lu Hong lowered his head slightly, thinking about the days before he left home when he was a child. But Zheng Baiyang kept looking at Lu Hong, with a look of relief.

After a while, Zheng Baiyang remembered something, and asked softly: "Brother Hong, how ......have you lived all these years?"

"My surname is Lu, Lord Zheng, we don't know each other very well, please call me by my name Lu Hong." Hearing Zheng Baiyang's gentle tone, Lu Hong immediately raised his head and looked directly at him, and said very seriously: "Lord Zheng, I invited Li to come to the teahouse for tea today, just to make it clear to you. ”

Zheng Baiyang didn't expect Lu Hong to have such an attitude, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Hong, I am your father, how can you be so rude to your elders?" ”

"Master Zheng, let me say it again, please call me by my name." Lu Hong's expression did not change at all, and he said quietly: "Also, Lord Zheng, since the day my aunt took me away from the Zheng family, I have no father. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Baiyang's face was red and white, and he couldn't say anything. Lu Hong didn't care about Zheng Baiyang's face, and continued: "Today, what I want to say with Master Zheng is. Please don't harass me in the future, Auntie, and me. Our Lu family and the Zheng family have had no relationship with each other since the time my aunt got the book and left it. Even if you want to say that I have your blood in my veins, I try not to care. ”

"Brother Hong, how can you speak to your father like that. Back then, your aunt insisted on leaving, but I was willing to call her my sister at that time, but she didn't agree. Without waiting for Zheng Baiyang to speak, Yang's voice sounded outside the door. Immediately after, Yang and the arrogant Zheng Tong walked in.

Zheng Tong saw Lu Hong's expression of disdain, and his tone was even more full of arrogance: "Look at your uneducated appearance, even if you want to go back to the Zheng family, your grandmother will not recognize you." ”

Regarding Yang and Zheng Tong entering the house, including all the words they said, Lu Hong not only did not move, but even his expression did not change. It's like, in Lu Hong's perception, there is no existence of Yang and Zheng Tong. And Zheng Baiyang's face to Lu Hong was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but whisper: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Master, when Tong'er came out of the Gongyuan, he asked about you. I heard that you and Brother Hong are gone, and I really want to come and meet my brother. Yang smiled at Zheng Baiyang and sat directly beside him.

At the same time, Zheng Tong, who received Yang's hint, hurriedly nodded and said, "Dad, A-Niang is right, I came to see my brother." However, when I heard my brother, oh no, it should be what Lu Hong said just now, I wouldn't recognize a person who disrespects his elders so much as his brother. ”

Zheng Tong's words made the Yang family very proud, and then raised his head and squinted at Lu Hong. Lu Hong still didn't seem to hear it, with a detached smile on his face, he took a sip of tea lightly before he said slowly: "Lord Zheng, what I want to say has already been said. I hope you don't come to me in the future, I only have a mother, no father. Even if we meet by chance in the future, we are just strangers. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Hong stood up, walked to the door without looking at Yang and Zheng Tong. The Yang family and Zheng Tong were obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Hong's ignorance, with some anger on their faces, and Zheng Tong wanted to block Lu Hong. Unexpectedly, Lu Hong suddenly turned around and smiled lightly: "Lord Zheng, I invited you to drink tea today, and I should pay for the tea." I, Lu Hong, a student, don't dare to take advantage of Master Zheng. ”

Without waiting for Zheng Baiyang and the three to react, Lu Hong quickly went out. Walking out of the teahouse, Lu Hong looked at the sky that had darkened, and sighed lightly: "I don't know if A-Niang will be angry with me and not leave me food to eat......"
