Chapter 54: The Origin of the Lu Clan
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
It was noisy along the way, and the capital was getting closer and closer.
The closer he was to the capital, the more nervous Bai Susu became, eating less than usual, and spending most of the day in a daze.
Chunlan and Mingxiang also saw that the master seemed to be in a bad mood, and they didn't talk much.
"Didn't my aunt eat again?" Mingxiang glanced at the food box in Chunlan's hand, opened the food inside, and arranged it neatly, and it didn't seem to move.
Chunlan was also worried, "My aunt said that she was not hungry, and it was useless for me to persuade for a long time." ”
"What's wrong with Aunt Bai?"
The man's voice suddenly sounded behind him startled both of them, Mingxiang hurriedly turned around, took a step back, bowed and said, "Back to the second master, my aunt said that she didn't have much appetite for lunch." ”
Lu Zhiyuan frowned, Aunt Bai has always had a good appetite, there must be something wrong with suddenly skipping food, "How many days?" ”
"It's been three days, and I've eaten a lot less than usual these days." Ming Xiang paused, and then said, "Auntie seems to have something on her mind." ”
Lu Zhiyuan nodded and let them retreat.
At noon, the carriages and horses rested on the side of the road, and only after morning did they continue their journey.
When he set off again, Lu Zhiyuan sat in Bai Susu's car.
"Who messed with you and didn't eat any food?" Lu Zhiyuan's voice sounded faintly, holding her hand in his hand, and pinching the flesh on her hand for a while.
"Nobody messes with me, it's just that I don't have much appetite lately." Bai Susu replied that there were thousands of fears and uneasiness in her heart, but no one could say it.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at her like this, stretched out his hand to pull her in his arms, and said softly, "Are you worried about going back to the capital?" ”
Bai Susu was silent and nodded, "I've been dreaming lately, and I can't say it well, I always feel that it's not good there." ”
Lu Zhiyuan was amused and touched her head, "There is really nothing good there." ”
The courtyard of the deep house is not as glamorous as it looks from the outside, and there are countless private interests mixed in it.
Bai Susu nestled in his arms, the tip of his nose lingered with a faint breath on his body, and the uneasiness and restlessness in his heart were slowly subsided.
The Lu family in the capital is a big family, and Bai Susu remembered the Lu family tree she had seen by chance, which recorded the Lu family's origins.
It has been more than 100 years since the founding of Dayu, and the ancestor of the Lu family was born as a farmer, and I don't know if it was a shit luck and saved someone when he went up the mountain to chop wood. This thing was originally not a big deal, who thought that this person would later make a fortune, rebelled and became the emperor, and then killed those who should be killed, degraded those who should be degraded, and planned a few glasses of wine to release the military power, the throne was stable, the world was peaceful, and the emperor found that there were fewer and fewer people around him, and he killed too much in his life, and the outside said that he was a tyrant.
The emperor boasted that he was a groundbreaking figure with great achievements in his life, so naturally he couldn't allow others to think of him like this, so he immediately summoned a few cronies around him and held a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, everyone thought about it for a night, and finally came up with a good idea, since there were a lot of people who were degraded before, then seal a few more, create momentum, and let the masses see how grateful the emperor is.
The emperor looked back, and finally remembered the farmer who saved him in his early years in the corner of his memory, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The farmer is good, he has no power and power, and it will not affect his power, so he has to eat and drink well, and his reputation will be there at that time. Immediately sent someone to take the cropper to the capital, and paid homage to the prime minister.
Unexpectedly, the farmer died of illness a few years ago, and now the messengers who went to announce the decree were in a hurry, everyone summed up, no matter what, the farmer is gone, doesn't there still be a son, and immediately regardless of whether others agree or not, he directly stuffed it into the car and took it to the capital.
The farmer's son, who had just turned five years old at the time, had been taken into the richest place in the world, and was already too frightened to speak.
The emperor was already in his fifties at the time, at first glance when he saw this thin child, his heart was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when the farmer rescued him at that time, people are like this, recalling something will can't help but add some of his own assumptions, the emperor is no exception, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that he owes the farmer, wiped his tears, and decreed on the spot that the eight-year-old Lu Daniu Anle Marquis was temporarily raised in the palace because of his young age, and taught according to the etiquette of the prince.
The child's surname is Lu and his name is Da Niu. Well, it was the ancestor of the Lu family, the Lu family, who had been a farmer for several lifetimes, and was smashed by a pie falling from the sky.
Although the starting point is relatively low, it can't stand the emperor's liking, this child is born with little talk, honest and simple, and he has raised his own son since he was five years old, and he is not a prince, and he will not be involved in the regime, which makes the emperor very relieved.
When the emperor was young, he thought about rebellion and war all day long, and he didn't pay much attention to his sons, and when he got older, he wanted to make amends, and he found that they were thinking too much about the throne when they talked and did things.
It's to love which grandson, say a few more words, the court will set off a burst of speculation, after a long time he will be annoyed, he has everything in his life, Lin Lao doesn't even have a chance to love the junior, when he is worried, Lu Da Niu appeared, this child appeared as soon as the emperor expressed great like, honest and honest, not much to say, no matter what he said, he looked like a child, he gave Lu Da Niu the father's love that he couldn't express, oh, and later changed his name to Lu Huaiting.
This Lu Huaiting has not done much in his life, but he has been silently by the emperor's side for more than ten years, no matter what bloody wind and rain outside, he will not move, he will not participate in party struggle, he is not an official, even if he has raised a dog by his side for more than ten years, his feelings are also very deep, not to mention a person, or the emperor grew up watching it little by little.
The emperor liked Lu Huaiting more than any son in his later years, and was even afraid that after his death, Lu Huaiting would be bullied helplessly, and the wife he chose was thoughtful, and finally chose the granddaughter of the respected old lady Meng, the sister of the crown princess, and personally ordered the marriage.
The prince was originally very annoyed by Lu Huaiting, and he took away his father's love when he appeared for no reason, but since the two became brothers-in-law, the prince found that it was still very beneficial.
For example, several princes who usually quarrel with him don't dare to make trouble, for example, several ministers who resolutely did not stand in line in the DPRK and China in the past have also begun to come to his side this time.
Everyone will look at their faces, the prince's position was not stable before, and there were rumors of the abolition of the prince several times, but the emperor did not express his position, and it is not certain when he said when he was abolished, but this time the marriage was different, and everyone faintly noticed the emperor's thoughts.
The emperor loves Lu Huaiting far more than several sons, and it takes much effort to choose a daughter-in-law for him, and he is more concerned than picking the princess, and everyone in the court sees it in their eyes, which is really reassuring and loved.
After all, no one is stupid, the emperor is old, and if he makes this arrangement at this time, the prince will definitely not be abolished.
The prince was in a good mood, and it was a lot more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Lu Huaiting again, thinking that after all, he was a brother-in-law, and everyone had to move around often.
Later, the old emperor died, Lu Huaiting cried bitterly, and personally guarded the filial piety in the imperial tomb for ten years, and the new emperor thanked him for this friendship, and took great care of his brother-in-law in the following decades.
The relationship between the Lu family is hard, coupled with Mrs. Lu's high background and far-sightedness, she keeps the house in order, and by the way, she also taught a few smart and clever children, and the family prospered little by little.
Later, children gave birth to children, children gave birth to grandchildren, and grandchildren gave birth to grandchildren, and the Lu clan flourished little by little.
It has been more than three generations now, and although the marquis is long gone, the foundation of the Lu family is very solid.
The big families often like to marry each other to consolidate their power, and the Lu family is no exception.
Now the Lu family is even more prosperous, but maybe it is a big move, so the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and the first one is to take the Lu family.
As long as Bai Susu thinks of those pictures, he feels extremely frightened.
But no matter how scared she was, she still had to come, and as soon as the carriage and horse arrived outside the city, there was the Lu family waiting.
The people in the capital are outstanding, and the shops and markets are dazzling, countless. The glazed tiles on the octagonal floor glow in the sunlight, and the hawkers on both sides of the street are shouting endlessly.
Bai Susu, who was sitting in the carriage, closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside, panic, fear, mixed feelings, and indescribable feelings lingered in his heart.
"Auntie, look, that restaurant is really big, three stories high." Chunlan looked left and right excitedly.
Bai Susu followed her line of sight and looked over, the plaque Shanghai Yunge was three big characters with golden light, and the girl Chunlan was quite knowledgeable, this is a famous restaurant in Beijing.
Just wanted to speak, she suddenly remembered something, her expression became serious, she looked at Chunlan and Mingxiang in front of her, and said, "You put down the outer curtain, I have something to say to you." ”
The weather is hot, the heavy curtains are lifted, and a layer of light gauze curtains is hung inside, which can not only shield the people in the car, but also light and breathable.
Her sudden serious tone made both of them realize that it should be something important, and immediately put a thick curtain down one by one, and the sound outside was suddenly blocked out a lot.
"Beijing is no better than Anyang, there are fewer people in Anyang Mansion, Mrs. is kind, I usually don't restrain you, this time I enter Beijing, there are many people in the mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds after entering the mansion, so as not to cause trouble for yourself. I have a low status, and if I really want to do something, I may not be able to help anything. ”
When the words fell, Mingxiang and Chunlan's faces showed positive colors, and Bai Susu added when she saw this, "Mingxiang is from Dafu after all, the rules should be clear, and you will be in charge of everything in my yard in the future." No matter what the others do, my people must not quarrel with other courtyards for no reason in the future, if you come back in advance, even if I can't do it, there will be a second master, you know? ”
Chunlan was the first to promise, "The slave will be obedient in the future." ”
"It's you, you can speak to me in the future." Bai Susu rubbed his ears and scolded half helplessly and half with a headache.
