Because of the urgent letter from Yangzhou, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became complicated, and Yi Yu's fingers flicked the silver chopsticks on the bowl, and when he swept his eyes, he felt interesting.

At this table, if you want to say that the happiest thing is Lu Ronghe, the elder of the Lu family who is pinching the letterhead with a red face and repeatedly confirming it, it is no wonder that even if it is a concubine, it is always his first child who is over forty years old, how can he not be happy.

The rest of the people had smiles on their faces, but they were different. Lu Rongyuan and Lu Jingshan reviewed the pregnancy period on the letter in Lu Ronghe, and after confirming it, they congratulated each other, Zhao laughed dryly, Lu Shuqing was eating by herself, and Lu Zhi asked for the letter and came over to look at it a few times, and also congratulated.

"Sister-in-law, you mentioned this matter when you were having dinner a while ago, but I didn't want to really ask you to say it, but I really presented you with good words." Dou Shi had a three-point smirk on his face, and said to Zhao.

"It's the second brother who has that blessing." No matter what Zhao thought in his heart, he was thoughtful on his face.

"Since the person is pregnant, then take it back and live." Old Madam Lu, who has always spoken little, said with a kind face.

"Yes, mother." Lu Ronghe responded happily, and the afterglow looked at Old Man Lu's face, slightly stunned, I don't know what I thought, glanced at Lu Zhi, and the excessive smile on his face instantly converged a lot.

Lu Zhi handed the letter back to Lu Ronghe, and put a handful of vegetables into the plate in front of the jade, and the two brothers and sisters looked at each other and exchanged a tacit look.

A table of children and grandchildren, none of them noticed, the old man Lu, who had been silent since just now, looked at the past every time they lowered their heads, but there was a little incomprehensible color.

After lunch, not long after, in this huge mansion, the news about Lu Rong and the concubine's pregnancy was known, and a steward who wanted to please ran to Lu Zhongzhi and proposed whether he should go to the ancestral hall to burn a few pillars of incense to thank his ancestors, but he was reprimanded.

Therefore, the Huaiguo Mansion, which has not encountered such a happy event for more than ten years, has not been festive and lively after a restless afternoon.

In the west courtyard of the house, in the warm hall, only Lu Rong and his wife were setting up a drink, Dou looked at Lu Ronghe, who had pinched the letter for a noon, and poured him wine, while laughing:

"After staying up for so long, I finally look forward to a child, if it is a son, then the husband will be the successor."

Lu Ronghe frowned slightly and said, "Are you planning to raise it in your name?" ”

Dou Shi looked at him strangely, "What do you say, this is our first child, if you don't keep it in my name, you can still ask a concubine to take it away?" ”

"This—" Lu Ronghe hesitated, "I must have discussed it with my father." ”

Dou's face suddenly lost a smile, "What if Dad doesn't allow it?" ”

Old man Lu didn't allow it, who in the Lu family dared to disobey, she also asked knowingly, seeing that Lu Ronghe was silent and didn't answer, the Dou family, who was already angry because of this concubine's pregnancy, said in a screaming voice regardless of it:

"Dad naturally won't allow it, his heart is that family, where will he care how much suffering we have endured over the years!"

"That's enough, don't say it." It's that everyone has selfish intentions, Dou's words, Lu Ronghe just didn't think about it before, and now that he has the hope of having an heir, how can he not think about it, but in his heart, he still attaches more importance to that brotherhood.

"Don't say? I don't say it now, you are confused, and it will be too late to talk about it when the time comes, you don't know, my father's body was worse a while ago, seeing that he is old, and I don't know how many days to live, if you don't fight, one day he will return to the west, and the title of this industry will not be your turn at all! ”

"Smack!" Lu Ronghe's face was pale, he slapped the tea table, and looked at the woman coldly, "Today, I will only let you drink too much, if you talk nonsense, you can go back to Yangzhou to raise it." ”

After saying that, he got up and left the house, leaving Dou with a stunned face.

In the east courtyard of the house, Lu Shuqing went back to the boudoir for a nap, Lu Rongyuan and his wife sat in the main hall drinking tea, Zhao looked at his husband, and said casually:

"After the second brother has it, you are so happy?"

Lu Rongyuan looked of course and said: "Over the years, our family has a book and a clear life, but the old 2 has no children under his knees, and now he is finally pregnant, how can I not be happy?" ”

"That's right," Zhao smiled, "If this fetus is a man, it would be better, the younger siblings only need to be raised under her name, but they are stronger than our family." ”

Lu Rongyuan took a sip of tea and said, "I don't understand you women, what's the comparison, the eight characters are only drawn, maybe you will have a little girl." ”

"It's not incomparable, you think, if the second brother's family has an heir, then wouldn't our family seem deserted," Zhao's tone paused, and said: "It's better to be in the clan, let's come back with a kid, the last time I worshipped the ancestors, I inquired with the sixth uncle, and there was a suitable one." ”

After hearing what she said, Lu Rongyuan glared at him and said, "What are you making a fuss about?" You forgot that your father said that you won't let us carry the child back. ”

"Isn't that before, now, now, now everyone has been recovered," Zhao vaguely alluded to the Lu family, "Dad shouldn't bother with us anymore." ”

Lu Rongyuan thought about it, but still shook his head, "Forget it, it's okay to have a son or not." ”

When Zhao heard this, he almost gritted his teeth, endured the anger that came up, and said: "Where is there no difference, everyone has a son, but our family does not have it, this industry title, there is no need for a son to succeed, outsiders are outsiders after all, don't go to the end, not even a send-off!" ”

Lu Rongyuan was straight-headed, and he probably heard what she meant, glared at her again, and said, "Did your sister-in-law come yesterday?" Didn't I tell you to have less dealings with her! If you listen to her all that nonsense again, don't go out in the future, and don't see anyone! ”

"You, you-" Zhao didn't hold back his anger, his eyes immediately burst into tears, and he turned his head and ran into the house to cry.

Lu Rongyuan put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table and sighed.

“...... Then the second master left angrily...... Then the eldest lady went back to the house and wept. Lu Zhi waited for Lu Yao to finish the last sentence, then waved his hand to let him step back, looked at the complicated Yu Yu, and said with a smile:

"I said a long time ago, Ansheng won't be alive for a few days."

"You can still laugh."

"I don't want you to listen, you want to listen, you're not happy to hear it, and you want me to follow you if you're unhappy?" Lu Zhidao.

The family business is big, there are many rights and wrongs, Huaiguo Mansion from the beginning, it is not a group of iron hugs, if it is okay in Yangzhou, but now it is back to the capital, Lu Zhongzhi is old, one day this real knife, real money and silver spelled back the hereditary dukedom is to be passed down, according to reason, can only be passed on to the son-in-law, but the current situation of the Lu family is really interesting.

Lu Rongyuan has no children under his knees, if he has a hereditary title and no son, who will he pass it on, and Lu Ronghe is now, if this concubine gives birth safely and smoothly, and gives birth to a son, but he does not recognize it under the name of the Dou family, as a concubine, for the lord, the two masters of the Lu family are equivalent to having no heirs.

In this way, it is a problem to whom Lu Zhongzhi's title will be passed on, and it is not difficult to solve it. No, the Zhao family and the Dou family have already thought that either Boss Lu will go to the clan to raise a son and come back, or Lu Lao 2 will give the concubine to the Dou family as a concubine.

As for Lu Zhi, when it comes to the title, it is even more subtle, although nominally he is the grandson of the Lu family, whether it is the identity of the grandson or the identity of the fake grandson at the moment, it is not comparable to a reality - he has no father.

Therefore, the Lu family's family business and title are decided by these two brothers, and it depends on who takes the first step forward and who fights for that bite first. The Zhao family and the Dou family are both heartfelt, and with the deliberate encouragement of these two people, I don't know how many days the Lu family can be peaceful.

After thinking about it for such a long time, there is only one thing that Yi Yu is most worried about, "What is going on with my grandfather's body?" She still remembered that once in Chengyuan Building, she met Mr. Lu drinking decoction, saying that it was a cold wind, and then she didn't ask again.

Lu Zhi's smile was put away, his eyes flashed, and he said, "When you are old, it is inevitable that there will be some problems, so take good care of it." ”

"Hmm." Yi Yu pursed her lips and looked at the dead branches outside the window, and her chest suddenly felt a little inexplicably stuffy.

Chaoyang courtyard room

The stove was filled with new charcoal, accompanied by the light of the fire, making some "zizilala" sounds, and in front of the bronze mirror on the ground, there was a pair of figures dependent on each other.

Lu Zhongzhi held a simple wooden comb in his hand, and went down to the silver hair like a waterfall in front of him, and his old face was pale and sickly that he had never seen outside, only a pair of tiger eyes, but at the moment it was extremely soft.

"Qingyu, why are you talking about this world so impermanent, I obviously just want to spend the remaining few days with you in peace, but this annoying thing always comes one after another."

"Qingyu, watching our children grow up day by day, start a family, go, stay, and now, seeing that they are about to fight, I am a little afraid. Hehe, sometimes looking back, it's like a dream, if it weren't for meeting you and being obsessed, who would have thought that the inferior teenager back then would have a half-life later. ”

"As a man, this life is enough, if there is any regret, it is that the people of this world are loyal to the Li family and Li Shimin, but who knows, I am just for you."

"Qingyu, whether it was when I left Lan Niang's child, or now I pushed Yu'er out, I have done too many wrong things, I know that you blame me, although you still pity me and stay by my side, but after all these years, you don't want to look at me...... However, it's okay if you don't look at it, if you don't look at it, I will still be the idiot who jumped into the lake to find a hairpin for you in your heart, not the lame man of this old dragon clock. ”

"Alas, Qingyu, why are you crying. It's me who is not good, and I bring up sad things... Don't cry, I'll help you with your buns, heh, look at my memory... It's really old, and your hairpin is gone......"

Lu Zhongzhi whispered for a long time, his voice gradually became smaller, he lowered his head and leaned on the shoulders of the silver hair, and slowly combed to the end of the silver hair, and then he no longer heard the sound.

"Idiot, how can I blame you......"

In the bronze mirror, the two of them are leaning on each other, and the one facing the mirror is a strange woman's face, only the part of the eyes that is upturned can be vaguely recognized, and in the slowly opening star eyes, I don't know if it is tears or pity.
