Chapter 210: Heard
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
But it was said that Lu Zhiyuan was busy after arriving in the capital, his feet did not touch the ground, he heard the news of his grandmother's death as soon as he entered the house, and he was tired from the journey along the way, and the rush to hear the news at the moment made him fall down directly at the door with weak legs.
The Lu family was panicked for a while, and they were busy with the funeral and asking people to ask for a doctor, but they were busy for a while. Fortunately, Lu Zhiyuan was only caused by a hot heart, and it was nothing big to lie down for a night.
He went to see his grandfather in the main hall, and it seemed that the person who had always been strong and healthy seemed to be much older all of a sudden, and even his eyes, which had always been strong, were now much darker.
When Old Man Lu saw him coming, he didn't say much, and the two grandparents only sat quietly in the hall for a long time.
Most of the descendants of the Lu family are not successful, the eldest lord died of illness many years ago, leaving only a somewhat stupid concubine to raise in another courtyard for many years, and the eldest lady Shen has been studying Buddhism behind closed doors for many years, except for a few occasions to appear, the rest of the time is in her own yard, rarely going out.
Lu Nianzheng, the second master of the second room, has an idle position in the court, and the sons under him are also full of squirrel, and none of them have become successful.
When it comes to the third room, Master Lu San doesn't have to count on it, he himself is a person who has no pursuit, in recent years, as Lu Zhiyuan has become more and more reused, Old Man Lu was afraid that Master Lu San would cause some trouble and implicate Lu Zhiyuan, so he found a reason for him, and resigned from his official position by lying that he was not feeling well. Master Lu San was not an official in the first place, and he had long been annoyed by the deception in the officialdom, so he would naturally resign and go home with such a good opportunity. In recent years, he has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and rarely has everything at home.
And then there is only one Lu Zhiyuan left, he is now being reused by the saint, and he has been very effective in governing the Jiangnan salt administration in the past few years, and this time the saint personally ordered him to return to Beijing, and it is not surprising that the official position will continue to be promoted is not running.
Old man Lu is now physically and mentally exhausted, and a few days ago, he was holding on to see Lu Zhiyuan come back, and he fell ill with a sigh of relief.
After the news of his illness spread, everyone had their own plans.
Mrs. Lu is the mother of the former queen, and she has a decree, this is not a trivial matter, and the palace personally made a decree to add grades. Funerals should naturally be done in a beautiful way.
Lu Zhiyuan received a letter, which was given to him by the old man Lu himself, and the letter was an ordinary greeting letter, which said that Lu Zhenghe was going back to Beijing in the near future.
Speaking of Lu Zhenghe, I have to start with Old Man Lu. Back then, Mr. Lu's mother, Cui, said.
There are also a lot of descendants of the Lu family who have branched out today, and some of the concubines have been separated from the house after they reach their age, and they will give up some fields and Zhuangzi.
Living in Dafu can be said to be a family, but once it is separated, it has nothing to do with the family, although they are all surnamed Lu, they can only be relatives in the future.
These concubines are all treated in the same way in the Jingzhong family, and the Lu family is naturally no exception. But there is a difference between these.
Lu Zhenghe!
At that time, Cui's had been married for many years and had never been pregnant, and he was helpless to find a doctor. Just when Cui's didn't know what to do, a Taoist priest came, and he told Cui's that she was destined to have a difficult heir, and if she wanted to break this fate, she must accept a boy under the age of six as her stepson, as long as the stepson came, she would definitely get pregnant in less than three years.
Cui's was also a dead horse doctor at that time, and it happened that the child of a concubine in the house had just turned five years old, so she asked people to sell the concubine directly and keep the child by her side.
This child is Lu Zhenghe.
Although Cui's raised Lu Zhenghe because he believed that a Taoist priest could have a son, as the days passed, her anticipation turned into suspicion. After all, no one has heard that raising a stepson can give birth to a son by his side.
She also ignored Lu Zhenghe from the beginning, and later treated him sincerely. Children's hearts are sensitive, and if a person treats him well, he will naturally understand. A child has been raised by his side for three years, and the concubine's room is long gone, but the two have some true feelings.
If things have been like this but there is nothing else, no one expected that what the Taoist priest said back then would really work, and Cui's was pregnant.
conceived in October, Cui's really gave birth to a son, named Lu Zhengxian.
After waiting for so many years, the Lu family has lost hope, and Cui's also accepted the fact that he was destined to have no children, and gave his mother's love to Lu Zhenghe, who knew that the child came suddenly, this matter was mixed for Cui's family, and she was happy that she finally got what she wanted, and Lu Zhenghe didn't know what to do.
Just when Cui's was in trouble, someone gave her an idea to send Lu Zhenghe to Waizhuang to raise, but she only said that she was sick, so she was out of sight and out of mind.
Cui Shi hesitated again and again, and had already agreed, but when the matter came, he found that he couldn't do such a ruthless thing.
Lu Zhenghe was eight years old when she was pregnant, and the child at this age had reached the age of a governor, and the Cui family had always cultivated him as the son of the Lu family, and he always had some feelings.
In the end, Lu Zhenghe was left behind and raised under Cui's knees, and what made her happy was that Lu Zhenghe's brother was very good to Lu Zhengxian, so good that Lu Zhengxian's dependence on his brother far exceeded Cui's mother.
And as Lu Zhenghe got older and older, he took the initiative to propose that he would be willing to assist Lu Zhengxian forever in the future and never compete for the position of head of the family.
Although he is the stepson of the Cui family, he has passed the family tree, and he is a descendant of the Lu family who is seriously recorded in his name, and he is top-notch in poetry and poetry or riding and hunting, if such a person really wants to compete for the position of the head of the Lu family, he will undoubtedly be a great threat to Lu Zhengxian.
When Cui heard Lu Zhenghe's words, he was even more moved, and he became more and more kind to him than before, and only hoped that he would be a good help to Lu Zhengxian in the future.
Everything is as Cui thinks, Lu Zhenghe has been focusing on the Lu family in everything all these years, and when he got older, he took the initiative to be willing to separate the mansion and become independent, and in order not to cause trouble to Lu Zhengxian, he even took the initiative to go to the northwest military camp to train himself.
Lu Zhengxian also respects his brother very much, Lu Zhenghe has been serving in the northwest all these years, although the position is high, it is far away from the capital, and it is rare to come back for a few years.
This time I came back suddenly and received the news that Mrs. Lu had passed away.
Lu Zhenghe is eight years older than the old man Lu, and now he is already in his old age, although he is still healthy, but in the end he is not as good as a young man, and the northwest to the capital for a long journey, he has been infected with the wind and cold has not been good, so he asked his eldest grandson Lu Yongan to return to Beijing instead of him.
Lu Yongan was a little darker because he was at the border all the year round, so he rushed to the capital with a few entourages and whipped his horses all the way, and stopped before he arrived in the capital, on the one hand, to feed the horses some forage, and on the other hand, because he was about to enter Beijing, he needed to tidy up his appearance.
After all, he is a foreign official or a foreign official who holds military power, and the imperial court has always been afraid of such a person.
Coincidentally, the inn where Lu Yongan lives and Bai Zhi live are the same family, or next door.
Bai Zhi delayed her trip due to illness, lying in bed with no strength in her body, her eyes closed for several days, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
The Lu family was at a funeral, Bai Zhi fell ill again, and Lord Lu had been busy with her feet not touching the ground recently, so she sent a message to let her stay in this town to recover from her illness and then go back.
On this day, she was sleeping in a daze, when she heard someone talking again, and the voice was so clear that it disturbed the person from sleeping.
She opened her eyes and was about to say something quiet, but she opened her mouth but didn't make a sound.
"Young master, our entry into Beijing this time has been arranged, as long as we act according to the plan, the Lu family will soon be in great trouble, and we don't need to do these things at all."
"I hope so, everything will be done according to plan, and I will definitely help him achieve his wish this time."
The people next door shouldn't have known that the soundproofing of this room was so bad that Bai Zhi could easily hear their conversation. She didn't mean to eavesdrop, she just happened to hear it.
This conversation was actually not very long, and it did not specify that it was the Lu family, but Bai Zhi had a hunch in her heart that they were talking about the Lu family where Lu Zhiyuan was.
Bai Zhi was shocked to hear something terrible, she reached out to cover her mouth and leaned her head against the wall, wanting to continue listening, but the sound of talking next door had stopped, and after a while, the sound of the door closing next door sounded, obviously someone went out.
It happened that the vial entered the door with a medicine bowl, interrupting her thoughts, "Sister, how do you feel today?" ”
Angelica ate unclean things on the road, so she had a stomach trouble for a few days in a row, and rested for a few days, plus good soup and good food to serve, and now her body is half better.
She stretched out her hand to take the medicine bowl handed by the vial, and Lord Lu was not there, so she was too lazy to be pretentious, so she raised her head and drank it, and then wiped the medicine on the side of her mouth and pinched a sugar cube handed by the vial.
After the bitterness in her mouth dissipated little by little, she spoke, "Do you know who lives next door to me?" ”
Xiao Bottle'er usually goes in and out of the people who live in the surrounding inns relatively clearly, and when she heard this, she said with a little shyness on her face, "It's a son, in his twenties, very good-looking." ”
Bai Zhi laughed at her, she was not ashamed, and asked her to help pay attention to the identity of the person next door.
I don't know if it's because she heard something she shouldn't have heard, she was restless all day after that, she always felt that something was going to happen recently, and she paid more attention to the movement next door, but no one next door spoke after that day.
She sometimes wondered if the person next door was gone, but Vial was sure that the person had been staying at the inn and had no intention of leaving.
Just after nightfall, the lights went out in the house.
Bai Zhi was lying on the bed, leaning her back against the wall, she wanted to use this posture so that she could hear the next door for the first time, although she didn't know if she could hear it.
She waited for a long time, and when her eyes were too sleepy to break away, there was finally a noise next door, and soon there was a voice.
