Lu Zhongzhi reported the name of the place. Lu Zhi frowned slightly and asked, "You don't have a house in Chang'an?" "Chengyuan Building is a special solitary restaurant in Pingkangfang, although it is a good place, but after all, it is someone else's territory.

Old Man Lu naturally understood what he meant, "Don't worry, that's our family's property." ”

Lu Zhi's eyes flashed and he stopped talking, and Yu Yu was lying in Lu Shi's arms and secretly looked at Lu Zhongzhi, and saw that he suddenly turned his head to look at himself, and his expression was very kind, "Yu'er, come and sit next to grandpa." ”

Yi Yu glanced up at Lu Zhi, and felt that Lu's hand around her was loosened, so she got up and moved to his side, Lu Zhongzhi saw that her demeanor was not the slightest bit cowardly, and the corners of her mouth had a hint of a smile.

"I heard that your handwriting is excellent, and your mother taught you?"

"Well, my mother and eldest brother have taught me."

"My grandfather has a lot of unique books from famous artists, and when your uncle moves those objects from Yangzhou, he will find them for you to copy, okay?" Old Man Lu had done his homework before, and he knew what his little granddaughter liked.

Sure enough, Yuyu's eyes lit up. Good calligraphy is indeed rare, she glanced at Lu Zhi hesitantly, and when she saw that the other party looked like she was closing her eyes and recuperating, she knew that he had acquiesced, and then smiled slightly, nodded at Old Man Lu and said, "Well, thank you." ”

Seeing that she didn't reject herself, Lu Zhongzhi smiled even more on his face, and continued to "coax" and said, "Your mother should have passed on your embroidery skills, when your grandfather's house was repaired, you also moved here to live, and the large things embroidered by your grandmother in her early years are much more exquisite than your mother's craftsmanship." ”

"Uh..."Although Yu Yu also has the heart to see, but he has not responded, "That is inconvenient." ”

Seeing that she refused in disguise, Old Man Lu was still kind, "What's inconvenient, grandpa told you that there are many interesting things at home, and your aunt likes to fiddle with those clothes and jewelry the most, and she has saved a lot of rare items, and when the time comes, grandpa will ask her to give you a few boxes." ”

Lu Zhongzhi took out his second daughter's belongings without blinking his eyes, but he didn't want to leave Yu lightly and shook his head lightly and said, "I don't want it." ”

Old Man Lu was surprised: "What, you don't like it?" ”

Yi Yu naturally couldn't say that she was really not very interested, so she could only look at her eldest brother for help.

Lu Zhi snorted lightly and replied for her, "You better save your worries." It's appropriate to take a notebook or something to coax her to take the bait, and take clothes and jewelry to coax her, but she doesn't even bother to look at the bait. ”

Old Man Lu didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that he was exposed, and continued to ask Yi Yu about something, and when the carriage stopped at the back door of Chengyuan Building, he had already asked her about her preferences for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Yi Yu couldn't help but answer, so he could only tell him half and half.

"Lu Yao, send those people in the shadows."

Hearing Lu Zhongzhi's command, a flash of approval flashed in Lu Zhi's eyes, and after a while, the curtain of the car was lifted from the outside, and Old Man Lu was the first to get out of the carriage, and finally Yu Yu, she was helped by Lu Zhi to jump out of the car, breathing in the slightly cool air outside, and a faint fishy smell rushed into her nose.

She glanced sideways at the young man standing by the carriage, frowned slightly, and then was pulled by Lu Shi, supported Lu Zhongzhi from left to right, and walked into a wide open courtyard gate in front.

***

Walk through the backyard and enter the second gate. I saw a spacious courtyard, it was already around the clock at this time, the courtyard was very quiet, the sound of Lu Zhongzhi's crutches hitting the ground was very obvious, and four or five cylindrical lanterns were hung under the eaves on all sides, reflecting the red doors and windows, dispelling the deep night.

At the front and back doors of the courtyard stood two men dressed in the same clothes, showing that the subordinates of the courtyard and the others bowed slightly when they saw them come in.

As soon as the four of them sat down in a room for a while, someone came up to bring water and tea, Lu Zhongzhi first asked Yu if they had eaten, and then ordered the servants who were waiting on the side to say a few words, and then asked them all to retreat.

Lu Zhongzhi said to Lu Zhi: "Okay, if you have anything to say at this time, you can say it boldly and with confidence." ”

"Well," Lu Zhi nodded at him, and then looked at Yi Yu with a very serious expression, "Xiao Yu, you tell your eldest brother, do you already know who that person is?" ”

Yi Yu was holding the fragrant tea in his hand and sniffing it gently, and when he asked so suddenly, he knew that he was asking about their father, so he replied after a little hesitation: "Mu Xiu I went to the tea party that time, and I saw that person's daughter, who had seen it with my mother in Chang'an before, and knew people, so I guessed it." ”

She hadn't made it clear to Lu Zhi before, and she just wanted to make him less upset. I didn't know how he knew it, but I explained it anyway.

Lu Shi, who was sitting next to her, listened, turned his head and looked at her with slightly complicated eyes, "You know everything?" ”

"Hmm."

"You—you're—" Whatever Lu was about to say, Yu Yu interrupted her.

"Mother," she put down the teacup and reached over to cover the back of Lu's hand on the armrest, "I am your daughter, I only know that there is a mother, there are brothers, and nothing else is in my heart." ”

Lu's eyes were red, and he pulled her little hand and patted it gently, the two of them were warm, but Lu Zhongzhi was dissatisfied, what do you mean by only knowing that there are mothers and brothers, this is not clear that he didn't put him in his eyes, for a while, Old Man Lu looked at the mother and daughter clasped their hands with some blush.

"Now that you already know, you can also listen to what the eldest brother has to say," Lu Zhi moved his gaze to Lu Zhongzhi, "What happened back then, whether you have a hard time or not." I will not hand over the safety of our family to you now, it is an indisputable fact that I still bear human life on my body, if this matter is not clarified, until I am unable to protect my family, I will never let people know the original identity of our mother and son. ”

Lu Zhongzhi frowned and said: "But thirteen years have passed since the incident, and there is no way to investigate it at all." ”

Lu Zhi smiled and stated: "The monk and the temple have not run, although it is difficult to check, it is not clueless. At that time, that person and my mother had been married for six years, and at first they were considered to be eyebrows and respectful, but after you left Beijing, my mother found out about raising a private concubine. After that, he brought people into the house, regardless of my mother's pregnancy, and spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, don't you think it's strange? ”

Lu Zhongzhi snorted coldly, "Even if there is any hidden secret, he treats my daughter like that, I will want him to look good sooner or later!" ”

Lu Zhi didn't seem to expect him to have this attitude, and after being slightly surprised, the corners of his lips hooked up a vague smile, "Thirteen years ago, King An returned to Beijing, the house held a banquet, and I was unjustly killed in the back garden, although I was still young at that time, I also clearly remembered that the concubine was not pushed into the water, but at that time, except for me who was close to her, there was no possibility of anyone else committing the crime." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu's expression was quite normal, and Yu Yu was completely attracted by his words.

Lu Zhongzhi pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhi fixedly, "Child, that woman really didn't kill you?" ”

Lu Zhi looked at him with a fixed focus, "It's not me. ”

Old Man Lu's expression relaxed, "Grandpa believes in you." ”

"There were many guests that day, but I really saw the process of pushing people into the water, it was the concubine who was favored by that person, the focus was on this concubine, I obviously didn't push people into the water, but she insisted that it was me, obviously the death of another concubine was inseparable from it, but she was far away from me and the dead concubine, and there was no chance to commit murder."

Yi Yu listened to Lu Zhi's statement, frowned slightly, and analyzed all kinds of possibilities in her heart, it was the first time she had heard Lu Zhi talk about the things of the year in such detail, and he was secretive about it in the past.

"Although I don't want to see that man, I also know that he is extremely intelligent, how can I not see that there is something wrong with this. However, even if King An was present at the time, he didn't need to draw his sword and stab me, which is the most difficult thing for me to understand and the most unforgivable. Lu Zhi's tone remained unchanged, but his eyes were cold.

"After that, he issued an order to detain me in the ancestral hall for three days, obviously in a state of letting me live and die, but--it was an eventful time at that time, not to mention that the house couldn't even climb out of a mouse, and it was also heavily guarded, my mother was able to rescue me from the ancestral hall in this situation, and led me and Lu Jun to escape with a thin softness, hehe, grandfather, do you think he would not know?"

Lu Zhongzhi was listening to him carefully, and was suddenly stunned for a long time by his shout of "grandfather", and said urgently: "Zhi'er, what did you call me just now?" ”

"Grandpa, I'm asking you."

Old Man Lu's wrinkled face suddenly showed an obvious smile, "Well, listen to the outsider, you ask if that bastard knows-Zhi'er, you haven't seen him, even the old man and I will occasionally be shaken by him, that person, but he is very fine." ”

Yi Yu has already seen it, because Old Man Lu's position is firm enough, although Lu Zhi insists on not recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors for the time being, he no longer thinks about angry with this old man. She looked sideways at Lu's expression again, and saw that although she frowned, there was nothing wrong with her expression, so she was relieved.

"Yes, it is because of his shrewdness that I can't figure it out more and more, what kind of position is he in the incident of the death of the little concubine, why did he design to let our mother and son leave home, isn't he afraid that after you know about it, you will settle accounts with him?"

Lu Zhongzhi's eyes narrowed, and he said a little proudly: "Child, don't you know, the old man really didn't make him feel better, Rao is he is better than a monkey, and he was finally put on a table by me." ”

Yi Yu couldn't help but interject: "Grandpa, why did you put him together?" ”

Seeing that she also shouted "grandpa", Lu Zhongzhi suddenly laughed, "Yu'er, you have been in Beijing for nearly a month, but I heard that outsiders spread the surname Fang?" ”

Yi Yu thought for a while before he said: "It is said that he was the remnant of Wang An back then." As soon as she finished speaking, a thought flashed through her mind, and then she looked at Lu Zhongzhi with a strange face.

Old Man Lu listened to her words, and his smile was even bigger, "What is the rest of the party, needless to say that it sounds so good, that kid is just a renegade in the hearts of most people now." ”

"Hmph, after knowing your affairs, the old man endured him for four years for big things, and after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he planned to correct his name, but the old man took the lead to face the saint, and before he resigned and left, he gave His Majesty a big idea."

At this point, Lu Zhongzhi reached out and took the teacup to moisten his throat, Lu Zhi's index finger tapped lightly on the desk, and opened his mouth before Old Man Lu explained, "If it is an An Wang Yu party, the emperor can also appoint him regardless of his previous suspicions, and allow him to be a high-ranking official, who can not praise the emperor's benevolence and love in the future, and how can the people's hearts not close." ”

Old Man Lu just swallowed a sip of tea, listened to his words, and suddenly showed a relieved expression, turned his head to look at Lu and said, "Lan Niang, Dad really didn't expect that you, a straight-headed melon seed, could raise such a shrewd son." ”

Lu Shi was listening carefully to the two of them, and was teased by her father, and laughed angrily and said: "Yes, he is not as straight as me, this child's head is like yours, all of them are bent and curved, you are an old fox, and my son is a little fox." ”

Yi Yu chuckled, but Lu Zhongzhi's expression was quite proud. After laughing at these two sentences, the room has lost the dull atmosphere just now.

"Zhi'er, you guessed right, my grandfather was in a hurry to continue looking for you, before leaving Beijing, he ran to His Majesty and came up with this idea, although His Majesty was embarrassed, but your grandfather has been the prince for five years, how can he not know the holy will, ha, I don't know how His Majesty said to the surnamed Fang, and sure enough, he didn't mention the correct name in the future, and the surnamed Fang is afraid that he can only be a renegade villain for the rest of his life."

Yi Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he remembered that on the carriage just now, Lu Zhi's "loyal minister" said, that Fang Xuanling, no matter how ruthless he was to his wife and son, was indeed a great loyal minister.

"No wonder... Grandfather, mother, Xiaoyu, I won't tell you anything, in the first year after I entered Beijing, I had already found out that the person was probably a fake defector to King An, but I didn't know that it was actually your grandfather who assisted the emperor in suppressing the rebels outside Beijing. The grandson in the car just now didn't know your current attitude, so he was offended, so don't blame you. Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Zhi's expression was already full of respect for his elders.

After Old Man Lu learned about it back then, because of his loyalty, although he did not immediately seek justice for their mother and son, he also gave up fame and fortune after that, and searched for them for more than ten years, and what he did was said to be enough for Lu Zhi to dispel most of his resentment towards him.

Lu Zhongzhi said, "Zhi'er, it is true that my grandfather was sorry for you back then, and you should have a grudge in your heart, but it is really difficult to investigate the matter back then, if you spend too much time on this matter, I am afraid that it will affect your future, or leave the matter to your grandfather, and you concentrate on studying and doing your big things." ”

Lu Shi also persuaded loudly: "Zhi'er, listen to your grandfather, you are weak in the end, let your grandfather help you find out." ”

Lu Zhi ignored their persuasion, shook his head and said: "You don't need to worry, the child has his own plans, now our relationship needs to be hidden from the outside world, there are many political enemies surnamed Fang, even if it is found out by someone with a heart, after thirteen years, let's not recognize it, grandfather, you arrange for your mother and Xiaoyu to rest, and your grandson still has something to discuss with you." ”
