Chapter 301: Rupture
In the Lu family ancestral hall at night. The ancestor worship performed by the Lu family mother and son to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors was interrupted by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fang family who got the banquet from the strange way.
The mother of the house kept pointing out that the mother and son recognized by the Duke of Huai Guo today were the wife and child of the Fang family who were taken captive by King An back then.
For a while, everyone's eyes moved to Lu Zhi, who was standing beside Lu Zhongzhi.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui, who were publicly pushed out for mediation, had a lot of calculations in their hearts, although the mother of the house may deliberately make trouble, but if it is a matter of no boundary, it is impossible for her identity to make such a feint in the public today, and furthermore, the pomp and circumstance of this recognition banquet in the Guogong Mansion obviously attached great importance to the four mothers and sons, but it came a little suddenly, and it suddenly made people feel weird.
It is a matter of the bloodline of the two governments, and they cannot be ambiguous. Thinking of this, the two glanced at each other. The eldest grandson Wuji said to the mother:
"Old Madam Fang, are you mistaken, the eldest young master in the house really has a cinnabar mole on his waist?"
The mother thought of this for herself at the critical juncture, and said confidently: "Yes, yes, my eldest grandson was born at night, when my son was sent by the first emperor and did not return, the woman made a lot of trouble in the whole house can not sleep, when it is dark, she gave birth to a baby boy, the midwife told me that the baby has a small mole on the back of the waist, the old woman still hugged and saw it with her own eyes, remember clearly, it will not be fake!" ”
The cinnabar mole is considered a "good mole", and in this era, no one would ever think of raising it, so she was so sure that the mole would not disappear.
Li Niang, who heard about this for the first time, frowned secretly, and secretly looked at Lu Zhi's face, but she couldn't see anything.
The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head sideways to look at the Lu family, but this woman was surrounded by Lu Junhuan in his arm, and he could only look at half of his side face, which did not match his vague memory more than ten years ago.
The more she talked, the more sure the mother of the house, lost her previous impatience, her brain suddenly became bright, she turned to Lu Zhongzhi, and said a little excitedly: "This cinnabar mole can't be faked, there is no such coincidence in the world, but you dare to let the eldest grandson and Lord Du distinguish between it, and see if this is the grandson of my Fang family." Or is it your Lu family? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji had the intention to end this mess quickly, so that he could figure it out, so he said that he would be a peacemaker again, and said that he would use that cinnabar mole to distinguish between true and false, but Lu Zhongzhi did not object, but said:
"Say it in advance, if there is no mole, you must leave immediately, if you make trouble again, don't blame Lu for being polite."
Yi Yu thought a little suspiciously: Judging from Old Man Lu's attitude, his eldest brother has no moles, so why was her mother so nervous just now?
Seeing Lu Zhongzhi's attitude, although the mother was also a little skeptical, she was more confident in the end, and said, "Don't worry, there is definitely one." ”
Lu Zhi saw Lu Zhongzhi nodding at him, and after a little hesitation, he saluted Du Ruhui and said, "Lord Du, it's inconvenient to undress outside. A little farther from here to the wing, I bother you to accompany me on a trip, you have always acted fairly, and no one has any objection to you. ”
Hearing him say this, the eldest grandson Wuji paused, and saw Du Ruhui nodding, whether he had followed or not, Fang Mu said in her heart that Du Ruhui and Fang Qiao had a very good relationship, and they would not be biased, so they did not object.
As soon as the two of them walked like this, the scene became cold, and most of them didn't have the heart to speak, and in the afterglow of the jade, they saw the eyes of the Zhao family and the Dou family, all of them swayed on the side faces of the Lu family, knowing that they would be affected by this trouble, but what they were thinking was not something she could know.
After everyone stood for a cup of tea, Lu Zhi and Du Ruhui walked over one after the other, and before they got closer, they heard the mother's eager voice:
"How's it going, there's a mole, right?"
Lu Zhi stood beside Lu Zhi with his head bowed, unable to see his expression, while Du Ruhui shook his head and replied seriously: "No." ”
If there is no mole, then it is not the eldest grandson of the Fang family.
Li Niang breathed a sigh of relief as secretly as Yu Yu.
Hearing this answer, the doubts in the hearts of almost all the guests disappeared. Those who are waiting to see the excitement can't help but be a little sneering in their hearts, and of course, there are very few who still maintain a trace of suspicion.
After being stunned for a moment, the mother seemed to think that she had misheard, and after confirming it twice, she suddenly raised her voice: "No? How is this possible, can you see it clearly? ”
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Du Ruhui smiled bitterly, "Old lady, Du can see it clearly, Lu Gongzi is from back to waist, not to mention a red mole the size of a grain of rice, even the size of a needle tip, and there is no, you were so sure before, it is your grandson who has a mole, but Lu Gongzi has no mole, obviously you recognized the wrong person." ”
However, the mother refused to accept this fact at all, and insisted on seeing it with her own eyes.
didn't wait for Lu Zhongzhi to go crazy, but Du Ruhui said first: "Old lady, don't make any more trouble, Lu Gongzi is not your grandson, how can you let a woman look at it." This is really unseemly. ”
After the eldest grandson Wuji hesitated, he also comforted in unison, who would have thought that the mother of the house would reach out to pull Lu Zhi again in the surprised eyes of everyone, but this time she did not have the brute force as before, but said with a cry:
"Grandson, do you resent me, but you were still young at that time, how could you remember your grandmother's kindness to you, if someone didn't provoke it. How could you not want to admit me, you obviously have moles on your body, are you teaming up with others to trick me... Isn't it? ”
In the complicated gaze of the guests, Du Ruhui's face became ugly, sighed lightly, chose to stand aside, and stopped making a sound, the eldest grandson Wuji still tried to persuade him, but the mother didn't listen to him at all, Lu Zhongzhi's forehead was beating faintly, and when he couldn't bear it anymore, Lu Zhi, who had been quite silent, spoke up:
"You want to see it with your own eyes?"
Yi Yu noticed the change in Lu Zhi's tone, and looked at him with a worried face.
The mother had no idea at this time, so she could only hold on to the mole, so as not to let this confession continue, so she nodded tearfully.
"Okay." Lu Zhi replied softly, and without waiting for his mother to be happy, he reached out and touched the belt with precious stones on the brocade robe, and continued:
"I guess wait for you to see it, even if you don't, you will definitely have to entangle, why don't you just watch it here, let everyone testify to see if I am your grandson with a mole."
In the sound of stopping, not allowing others to stop him, Lu Zhi grabbed the placket with both hands and pulled it to the sides, then pulled away several layers of clothes, pulled down, and turned his back to the guests and the roommate, from the thin shoulders to the straight back, a whole piece of tooth-white skin was exposed to this cold winter night.
Soon, someone let out a low voice, not because of his actions, but because of the young man's bare back, and from the ribs down, was a smooth piece of tooth-white skin. There was no red mole as mentioned by the mother of the house when I went down an inch to the lower back, however, from the two ribs up to the cervical vertebrae, it was full of patches and terrifying white flowers, which were obviously scars left after the burn!
"Ahh The mother who was waiting to find the red mole was the closest, and screamed out in surprise by this scene, and her eyes fell into the arms of Liniang, who was also stunned behind her.
Lu Zhongzhi's face was dark and he clenched his crutches, and the body of the cane made a crisp sound of "rattle", and Lu Rongyuan and Lu Ronghe widened their eyes.
Lu Zhi lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, the terrible burn marks behind him couldn't be seen by the jade facing him, Lu Jun who was facing away from him couldn't see it, and Lu Shi, who was blocked by Lu Jun, couldn't see it, but everyone's low shouts made them realize that something was wrong.
Lu Jun remembered Lu Zhi's previous confession, no matter what happened, he had to look at his mother, so he hugged Lu Shi tightly to prevent her from moving, but Yu Yu broke away from Lu Shi's hand and was about to run over in two steps, but Lu Zhi suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing her head on his half-naked chest.
Yi Yu had already realized what was behind him, and pushed him hard with both hands, but he didn't move, only listening to him say in his ear: "Don't move, there's nothing to see." ”
His heartbeat was very strong, and her somewhat cold cheeks were pressed against his tight chest, but they were ironed hot, and in an instant, a thick sense of anger and grievance hit her, and she bit her lower lip to hold back.
This scene was too sudden, so that everyone was overwhelmed, Lu Zhi pressed the Yu Yu tightly in his arms, turned his head to the half-dizzy and half-awake mother who was leaning on Liniang, and said in a flat tone:
"You're satisfied, and you've forced me to this point."
The mother was still frightened, and her mind was a little confused, "You, the mole on your waist." ”
At this time, forcing everyone to show the public, she still still did not forget the Nalaoshzi cinnabar mole, after all, this is the ancestral hall of the Lu family, even if she didn't figure it out before, at this time things are clear, she is still so obsessed, this attitude has caused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers, and for a while most people secretly slandered this old woman.
Lu Zhi sneered, his expression suddenly became stern, and he said with suppressed anger in his words:
"My mother and son of four, in the early years of hardship and exile, now the bitterness is sweet, and finally I can recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but I was repeatedly blocked by you, and made a big fuss in front of the Lu family ancestral hall, disturbing the peace of the ancestors, and ashamed of the ancestors! How shameful do we have to enter this door again! Although I don't know what grievances you have with my Lu family, I don't dare to forget today's humiliation! ”
At the same time as his words fell, Lu Zhongzhi's crutches slammed on the ground, accompanied by a buzzing "Send off!" Finally, at the end of his life, wood chips were scattered all over the ground.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui didn't make a sound again and tried to reconcile, and the Lu family all had the same hatred and looked at Fang Mu and Li Niang angrily.
Liniang, who was a little frightened by Lu Zhongzhi's voice, forcibly hugged the half-dizzy and half-awake mother and was about to leave, and before she could take a few steps, she heard Lu Zhongzhi's cold voice sounding behind her:
"Go back and tell Fang Qiao, new hatred and old hatred, I Lu someone will definitely get it!"
This voice announced that after the one more than ten years ago, the Fang family and the Lu family, whose relations with foreign countries had eased a while ago, broke up in front of people again!
