Chapter 563: Brother
"I'm better, I'm able to get up." Lu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief when he mentioned Tian Lin: "I was worried about him a while ago, and I didn't know how to respond when I slept there and shouted, I thought he wouldn't be able to survive." ”
"Why are you so sick?"
"Well," Lu Yi took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The imperial doctor said that half of his illness is a heart disease. In the past few years, there have been many accidents, and his family has been ruined, and he has survived alone, and it looks okay from the outside, but in fact, his mental strength and body are very tormented. ”
This is true, Liu Yan has also heard such a saying, saying that people who are not usually sick, once they are really sick, the disease is likely to be menacing, much more dangerous than ordinary people.
"But when he is so sick, his nieces and nephews are much more sensible. These two children used to be too pampered, and when the Tian family fell, they concentrated all their resentment on Tian Lin alone, as if without Tian Lin, the Tian family would not have an accident, and their parents would not die, they are still the descendants of the Hou Mansion, living a life of human beings. Now they finally understand that they can still have no worries about food and clothing, all because Tian Lin takes care of them, and if they don't have Tian Lin, they will be desperate. I heard that they are not only staying in front of Tian Lin's couch now, but also serving soup and tasting medicine. ”
Liu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Now children are so snobbish? ”
"The family is in the middle of the road, and they should indeed learn to be smarter."
"But it's not a good thing that a little child is so scheming that he can play tricks." Liu Yan said: "They are not really grateful and close to Tian Lin, just to protect themselves. I'm afraid that if they have an opportunity in the future, they will bite Tian Lin back. ”
"That's for the future." Lu Yi sat next to Liu Yan, full of her, so he didn't have the leisure to worry about Tian Lin's housework.
The two of them sat together and talked a lot, baked a large plate of rice cakes, and the tea was refilled twice, and the sun was turning west outside, and Liu Yan realized that so much time had passed unconsciously.
She and Lu Yi didn't do anything, just sat here and talked, and they insisted on talking for nearly two hours?
What did they say?
At the beginning, Liu Yan still remembered that they talked about Lu Yi's family affairs, which was a serious matter. And then?
What did they say later?
It's like talking about fishing.
Yes, it's fishing.
Then we talked about eating fish, grilled fish, boiled fish, fish balls, fish fillets, fish soup...... said that Liu Yan was greedy, and after thinking about dinner, he asked people to serve a table of fresh fish dishes.
But then they moved from eating fish to new books.
How this topic was brought over, Liu Yan doesn't remember very well. In short, she hadn't said so many words in one breath for a long time, her mouth was dry, and her throat was almost hoarse.
Not...... In the past, she was always worried that she and Lu Yi would sit together and be relatively speechless, looking at each other, but now it seems that it will not.
She and Lu Yi have something to say.
After returning to the palace, Liu Yan asked people to inquire about the Lu family and the Wang family.
The bean soup has been prepared for a long time.
He had already inquired about a lot of things about the Lu family, and he felt that he would use it sooner or later.
He guessed right, it's not going to be used now.
The sources of bean soup are mixed.
It is not difficult to inquire about the affairs of General Lu's mansion.
Lu Yi has a brother above him, but some people used to call him Lu Si - it's not difficult to guess that he still has a brother and sister above him, but they are not from the same mother, and they are all gone early. The elder brother died before he could be raised, and the elder sister grew up to the age of marriage, but died of illness soon after getting married. Now in the general's mansion, in addition to General Lu's concubines, there are only Wang and two children.
The Wang family came from a mediocre background, and his parents at home had died a long time ago, and his brother was only a fourth-grade official now, and he was not an important position, but this was because he was promoted by marrying the Lu family, otherwise he would not be able to live like this.
Gui Yuan asked, "How is the Wang family?" ”
Gui Yuan didn't care much about this person before, but it will be different in the future, after all, she is Lu Shenju's sister-in-law in name, and she is a concubine with the princess.
"He's a pretty good guy." Doutang said: "Such a big general's mansion, she is quite strict. I haven't heard anything wrong with the outside world. ”
Ginkgo also interjected: "The slave maid also heard of one thing, saying that General Lu has a lot of personal soldiers, and he can't be an errand anymore when he is old, and there are also those who were injured and disabled in the past, and the Lu family supports them, and they are usually taken care of by the Wang family." ”
It seems that not only the bean soup has been prepared for a long time, but the other people in Anhe Palace also know about Lu Shenju's decision to be a concubine, and they have inquired about the news of the Lu family early.
It sounds like the Wang family and his wife are quite good at managing their reputation, and Wang's reputation outside is actually not bad, and most people have to praise her when they mention her, saying that she is capable and can run a family.
If Liu Yan hadn't heard the inside story from Lu Yi with his own ears, he would not have thought that the relationship between the Lu family, father and son, and brother was so complicated.
Other people didn't know that Lu Yi's brother was not his mother's compatriot at all, and naturally they wouldn't have thought that the relationship between brothers was so weak, and even to the point of turning against each other, so of course they wouldn't have thought of how many small actions the Wang family had made behind his back, bent on ruining Lu Yi's reputation, manipulating his family affairs, and ruining his future.
Although I don't know the inside story of this, the bean soup is not stupid. With some clues, he had already guessed that the relationship between the Lu brothers was not harmonious.
It's easy to guess. Lu Yi doesn't live in the mansion, he doesn't have any dealings with his father and brother, he came to prominence after returning to Beijing because of the support of the four princes, and he can be successfully awarded the official position, which is valued by the emperor, and has nothing to do with the Lu family.
Not to mention what is the knot between the father and son of the Lu family, this brother has always ignored his younger brother, and has never taken care of the benefits at all, this seems to be a deep brotherhood?
Dou Tang felt that this fault was definitely not on Lu Senju, it was his brother and sister-in-law who were innocent and mischievous, secretly making trouble, and squeezing out and bullying him.
Although there is no evidence for bean soup, whose heart is not biased? Lu Shen is already a sure horseman, of course the bean soup will be biased towards him, and his elbow will definitely not turn out.
Since the princess asked like this today, it means that Doutang did not guess wrong, and the Lu brothers are not in harmony.
That bean soup can't be sloppy, and he will find out the news in the future to prevent the people from the Lu family from making trouble, but he will be busy.
Liu Yan really ate a table of dishes made of fresh fish in the evening.
It is not easy to get fresh fish at this time, that is, it can be supplied here in Dongyuan. Most people either eat frozen fish or dried and salted fish.
