Chapter 51, the dilemma of father and son!
Chapter 51, the dilemma of father and son!
Gongsun Yu pushed the door in, and there was a busy scene in front of him.
Several books were spread out on the table, and under the table were discarded messy manuscript paper.
The man was writing at the desk, and jumped on Jia Jiangxuan in rows of beautiful Xiaokai. It looks like a living elf.
Gongsun Yu stood at the door and waited for a while, and found that his arrival did not wake up her husband, who was busy with government affairs, so she took the initiative to speak: "Qingming is busy? ”
Lu Qingming's wrist paused, glanced up at his wife, and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you here?" Go back and rest. I still have some work on hand, and I'll go back to you when I'm done. In the eventful autumn of the empire, the frontier land strives for stability, and there can be no slackness. Even if I, the new governor, return to Tiandu, I can't let go of the affairs of the province - there are too many miscellaneous things, but I have wronged you. ”
Gongsun Yu not only did not leave, but turned around and closed the door of the study and said, "Qingming, I want to say a few words to you." ”
"Good. You can say as many words as you want. You go back first, and I'll go back to my room with you later—"
"I want to say a few words in your study now." Gongsun Yu looked at her husband gently, but her attitude was extremely persistent.
Lu Qingming had to put down the brush in his hand, his handsome facial features were smiling, and the wind and sand in the southwest wrinkled his skin, but it couldn't blow away his warrior spirit. He pushed away his chair and stood up, and said with a smile, "Okay." What do you want to say to me? ”
Gongsun Yu handed over the cowhide bag in his hand and said, "You take a look at this first." ”
"What is it?" Lu Qingming took the bag and asked while unsealing the upper line.
"It's guilt, it's remorse." Gongsun Yu said in a calm voice. But the eye sockets are a little red, which is a sign of extreme emotion.
Lu Qingming's expression stiffened slightly, and instantly returned to normal, pretending not to see his wife's strange appearance, and said with a smile: "I'm a little curious, what is it that you said so seriously?" ”
Lu Qingming untied the bag and took out a few stacks of papers from it.
"Huh?" Lu Qingming's eyes were puzzled, he looked at Gongsun Yu and said, "This is the test paper?" ”
"Empire's high school exam papers for this year." Gongsun Yu said calmly.
"Interesting. Do I need to be assessed too? As Lu Qingming spoke, he began to read the several sets of test papers at hand.
With Lu Qingming's accumulation of knowledge, it is easy to read all these words.
He reloaded the paper into the vellum paper and said, "He could have gotten a higher score, if he had checked it carefully." The points that were lost were the ones that shouldn't have gone wrong, but the difficult questions that he answered very well - this student is very talented, he should be able to go to Zephyr University, right? Or some other Imperial school? ”
"You know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at Lu Qingming and said. Not a doubt, it's a yes.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qingming opened the test paper again and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Li Muyang." A very unfamiliar name. How do I know who he is? ”
"I know you know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at her husband without blinking, and said, "You lied to me sixteen years ago, and now you still have to lie to me?" Lu Qingming, if you dare to deceive me again, I will never forgive you in my life. ”
Lu Qingming's eyes were sad, his expression was painful, and he said, "Xiao Yu, what do you want me to do?" ”
"I want him back." Gongsun Yu said in a firm voice: "I want to take him back." ”
"It can't be." Lu Qingming shook his head. "We sent him back sixteen years ago, and now it's impossible to bring him back - Xiao Yu, you know. It's simply not possible. On what grounds did we bring him back? How do we explain his existence? ”
"Lu Qingming, he is my son, our son - back then, you thought he was a disabled person, a waste, worried that he would not survive, worried that he would become a deformed child, worried that he would disgrace your Lu family, worried that every day he lived, your Lu family would become the laughing stock of Tiandu people for one more day——"
Gongsun Yu clenched his fists desperately, trying not to let himself shed tears, gritted his teeth and said, "But you see it now." He's not disabled, he's not a waste, he's not a deformed child - on the contrary, he's smarter than a lot of people, he's harder than a lot of people. He deserves a better education, he deserves everything he deserves. He should go back to the Lu family, to his parents—I will explain to him well, so that he should not hate us, not hate the Lu family. Then we spend our whole lives paying for the wrongs we have committed against him. ”
Gongsun Yu looked at Lu Qingming and said word by word: "So, I want him back." ”
"Xiao Yu-" Lu Qingming's forehead was bruised, and there was a painful entanglement in his eyes that could not be dissolved. "I've been avoiding you these days, I'm just worried that you're going to have a showdown with me, I'm worried that you're going to poke everything in the light and let me give you a result. I confess, I know who he is, and I pay more attention to his existence than you do - I have seen this paper for a long time. I also know you're bound to see it. ”
"I want to take him back too, and I, like you, want to get him back immediately. I don't need you to explain it to him, I'll explain it to him myself, I want to atone for his sins - whether he forgives or not, I want to stand in front of him at once and tell him all this. I wanted him to know what happened that night. I want him to know that he should have had a different life—"
"But we can't do that. As you just said, we sent him out because we were afraid that he would not survive, or that he would be a deformity, that we would be ridiculed and attacked by political opponents -- and now if we want him back, how do we explain his existence? How to explain the relationship with him? How to explain where he used to go? The scandal that occurred 16 years ago has become stinking after 16 years of fermentation and brewing -- if we declare to the outside world now that Li Muyang is an abandoned son sent out by our Lu family, what face does the Lu family still have to gain a foothold in Tiandu? What kind of face does it have to gain a foothold in the imperial court? ”
"What's more, the situation in Tiandu is complicated now, my father is attacking Zuo Xiang's position, the Lu family is in a whirlpool, countless people are staring at it, and everyone in our Lu family is cautious, for fear of being deflated at this juncture-Xiao Yu, if we take him back at this time, wouldn't it be a target for ourselves?"
"That's why you refused?" Gongsun Yu was extremely disappointed in her husband and said, "Just like you threw him out sixteen years ago, it is really ridiculous. ”
"Xiao Yu, you give me a little more time. We now know that he is doing well, and that he is likely to come to Tiandu to study. He's right under our noses, and we can take good care of him, and when the opportunity is right, we'll take him back and get to know him - okay? ”
"Lu Qingming-"
"Xiao Yu—"
"I don't want to wait a day."
"Xiao Yu—"
"I'm going to send him to Zephyr University." Gongsun Yu said aloud.
"Okay." Lu Qingming immediately agreed and said, "I have read his test papers, if there is no accident, he could have gone to Xifeng University." ”
"I'm going to make sure he's going to Zephyr." Gongsun Yu said.
"Okay." Lu Qingfeng nodded and said, "I'm sure." He will definitely be able to enter the University of Zephyr. If they don't let Li Muyang enter Zephyr University, I'll go and tear down the gate of Zephyr University and burn it as firewood. ”
"Lu Qingming, I hope you don't disappoint me again this time." Gongsun Yu glanced at her husband deeply, turned around and walked outside.
Lu Qingming's mood was extremely irritable, and he walked around the study.
"Someone." Lu Qingming shouted.
The guard Li Ping'an pushed the door in and asked, "General, what are your orders?" ”
Lu Qingming used to be a general who went into battle to kill the enemy, and Li Ping'an and Yue Feilong were all members of his personal guard. Later, he became a civilian governor of the province, but those closest to him still liked to call him 'general'.
"Is the master in the house?" Lu Qingming asked out loud.
"This—shall I ask?" Li Ping'an whispered. I thought, we don't know if the master is not in the house, and we don't dare to know.
"No need." Lu Qingming waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
"Yes. Checkmate. After Li Ping'an went out, he glanced at Yue Feilong and said, "The general's performance must not have satisfied Madame, Madame is angry, and the general is frustrated—"
"Li Ping'an-" Yue Feilong was about to draw his sword again.
Before the two of them could make a move, Lu Qingming walked out with a document bag.
The two were about to follow, but they heard Lu Qingming commanding, "Don't use it." ”
Lu Qingming came to the courtyard on the left and asked the old housekeeper who came to greet him, "Is my father here?" ”
"The master is in the study." The butler said with a smile. "Young Master, do you want to come back later?"
"I'll sit down and wait." Lu Qingming glanced at the housekeeper and said.
The housekeeper glanced at Lu Qingming and said, "Young master, please go to the tearoom and have a cup of tea." ”
"Thank you."
Lu Qingming waited in the tearoom for half an hour, and the housekeeper came in and invited him to the study.
Lu Qingming walked in, looked at his father who was sitting there like a towering mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, I want to take the shepherd back." ”
