Forty sad people

The errand of welcoming the generals returning to Beijing has always been a beautiful errand.

Generally, they will take the opportunity to greet them farther away, so that they can not only appear conscientious, but also enjoy the reception of the official families along the way - after all, they are officials who travel on the orders of the emperor, and it is natural to talk to the emperor about the things along the way after returning.

So the group didn't stop until they walked to the new city.

The post station in Xincheng did not accept check-in three days in advance, and after a new look, Lu Hanlin and his party were ushered in on the evening of the third day.

But the next day, the local official family in Xincheng did not be able to entertain Lu Hanlin, because there were officials from the capital chasing after him, and they also took the guards to surround the post station, searching inside and out, which made the local officials and families surprised and puzzled.

At this time, in the hall of the post station, the faces of the officials who traveled with Lu Yizhi were not good-looking.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The officials from the capital saluted again and again with apology and shame, "The emperor's order is hard to disobey."

"Mr. Xiahou is old and messing around, Your Majesty is not easy to persuade, and you are not easy to persuade?" An official still couldn't hold back his temper, "If you lose your daughter, you said that Lu Hanlin abducted her?" What Lu Hanlin is busy with these days, can't you see it?"

"Yes, because I have to travel, I've been busy finishing the errand of the Hanlin Academy."

"Coupled with family affairs, I am exhausted every day, and I still have time to kidnap Miss Xiahou."

Other officials also complained, and some even sneered and ridiculed.

"What is Miss Xiahou doing? Asking for money? Is Mr. Xiahou rich?"

Listening to the complaints all over the room, although the officials from the capital were also on the orders of the emperor, he himself felt that this matter was excessive, and he did not refute everyone, and then we apologized for it, and explained again: "Mr. Xiahou is old, it seems that he has been stimulated a lot, and His Majesty can only follow it."

Lu Yizhi, who had been quiet and had not spoken, stood up suddenly: "I want to go back to Beijing to have a look." As he spoke, he walked out.

The officials in the room were all startled and hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Lu, you can't go."

Lu Yizhi looked at them, his face was anxious, and he couldn't hide his sadness in his eyes: "Senior sister has an accident!"

This look made the officials' hearts tremble, and sighed, although Lu Yizhi and the Xiahou family have been in trouble recently, but the young man and woman were really a good couple praised by everyone, and the two of them must be happy with each other, but the world is impermanent.......

"Strange, Your Majesty didn't let you go back." An official persuaded.

Another elderly official said in a deep voice, "Strange, you are going back now to embarrass Your Majesty."

Mr. Xiahou is crazy, because of the honorific title of teacher, the emperor can't be harsh, Lu Yizhi went back at this time, Mr. Xiahou was making a fuss about arresting Lu Yizhi, what should Your Majesty do?

If you don't do it, it goes against the teacher's way, and it is ridiculous to do it.

The others also woke up one after another to dissuade them, and the officials from the capital even gave a salute: "Lord Lu, don't follow and make trouble, if you want to go back, things will be big."

As he spoke, an errand officer ran in from outside: "My lord, I have searched the room and the car, and the people accompanying me have checked them one by one, and there is no Miss Xiahou."

The officer glared at the officer, "Nonsense, of course not, and I used to come in on purpose!"

It's good for everyone to be pretty, how could Lu Yizhi really have something to do with Miss Xiahou's disappearance!

The official did not delay any longer: "We will go back to Beijing and disturb you." After that, he hurriedly left.

The men and horses outside also cheered away.

"That's not true!"

Several officials shook their sleeves and said, looking at Lu Yizhi again, they still stood in a daze, and they sighed again and comforted, "Yizhi, don't think about it." "Every man has a fate."

While talking, the local officials and families outside also came to visit, gossiping about their respective homes, climbing the master's door, and then inviting them into the city for a banquet, Lu Yizhi was in a better mood than before, although he said very little, but he dealt with it properly, but when he heard the invitation to the banquet and tasted the local flavor, he suddenly asked, "What kind of temple doctor do you have?"

A good doctor in a temple? The local officials couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Yes

That's it." The accompanying official hurriedly explained, "Lord Lu's parents are not in good health."

In this way, the local official families were suddenly surprised.

"Also, my teacher isn't very good." Lu Yizhi said again.

The officials coughed lightly, after all, this involved a woman, although Mr. Xiahou didn't care about the trouble in the capital, they still had to save some face for Mr. Xiahou.

"yes, I just got the news." "Mr. Xiahou is Lord Lu's mentor." "I'm worried that something happened."

Everyone was busy with Hanhu's explanation, and also interrupted Lu Yizhi's words, and the local officials and families were all smart people, and immediately stopped asking, and only enthusiastically introduced the local temple monks and famous doctors.

Lu Yizhi didn't go to the banquet, he went to visit directly with his entourage, and the local official family had some regrets and wanted to persuade, after all, Lu Sangongzi was famous, who didn't want to sit at the same table with him, the officials from the capital did not persuade Lu Yizhi, and only appeased the local official family that Lord Lu was indeed inconvenient, entangled in family affairs, and physically and mentally exhausted.

"Your Majesty let him come out this time just to distract himself." They looked at Lu Yizhi's figure walking out, and sighed lightly, "Let's let him feel free, don't bother him."

On the hillside not far from the Xincheng Station, a group of black-clothed people stood solemnly, looking at Lu Yizhi, who was dressed in civilian clothes and left the ranks of officials and families, and only took two people with them.

"There is no problem with the accompanying people, carts and horses." One of the guards said, "I've checked inside and out, and there is indeed no Miss Xiahou."

Another black-clothed guard said, "There's no way he's going to take Miss Xiahou with him."

The former guards asked, "What do you command?" The officials and servants sent by His Majesty to the Jingzhao Mansion have left."

Another guard said, "They are them, we are us, the governor said, keeping an eye on him."

The people answered and scattered on horseback from the hillside.

......

......

Next, Lu Yizhi really visited the famous temple and famous doctor, as before, donated a lot of incense to the temple, in addition to consulting the famous doctor, but also visited the mountain goods store from time to time, purchasing treasures.

So much so that the mountain goods stores in Xincheng knew him, whether they had seen it or not.

As soon as they saw a thin but extraordinary young man come in, the shop guys hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Lord Lu, what do you want to see?"

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter also hurriedly came out and drove the two shop guys away, "Things that are not on the table don't stain Lord Lu's eyes." Then accompanied Xiao to personally introduce: "We have all the delicacies and seafood."

Although Lu Yizhi could not hide his melancholy between his eyebrows, he had a kind attitude and did not dislike the vulgar flattery of the shopkeeper, saying, "It would be good if it could nourish the body."

The shopkeeper's eyebrows opened and smiled: "Childe, please take a look inside." And he shouted inward, "Open the storeroom!"

.......

.......

With the creaking of the door of the storeroom opened, the sunlight rushed in, beating between the dimly dense shelves, and with the footsteps, the ups and downs also dispersed, bringing a slight itch between the noses.

The shopkeeper's enthusiastic voice and Lu Yizhi's gentle response also spread out between the shelves.

"It's all good things, especially the good goods that have just been delivered, Lord Lu is really timely."

"It's a lot of money, isn't it? Do you want to add money?"

"Hey, you don't dare to add money to Lord Lu, Lord Lu, we know the real price, we will never sit on the ground and start the price, if you do business, you have to talk about credit."

"Indeed, human teeth are also businessmen."

"Yes, yes, we are also businessmen, and besides, the surplus goods were sold for a good price, but Lord Lu made us earn more."

"Whether it's a maidservant or a coachman, it's raised by the Xiahou family in Dongping, even if it's a servant, everyone is knowledgeable and full of wealth, and they are all valuable goods when they are sent to the kiln."

With these words, the lid on the top of her head was lifted, and the light poured in, and Miss Xiahou could barely open her eyes, but she tried to keep her eyes open, to see the person in front of her clearly.

The person in front of him, looking down slightly, had a familiar fresh smile on his white jade-like face, and a pair of eyes were gentle

Spring breeze.

Miss Xiahou felt that she was still too elegant to scold people before, and in the face of this kind of person, she just wanted to reach out and scratch his face.

Lu is different!

She shouted, but could only shout silently, she couldn't even make a muffled snort, she could only look at him fiercely.

Lu Yizhi smiled and reached out to stroke Miss Xiahou's cheek in the box.

"Don't take so many pills." He frowned with pity, "My skin is dry."

The shopkeeper behind him smiled with a smile on his face: "I didn't feed more medicine, I didn't feed more medicine."

With these words, Lu Yizhi looked at Miss Xiahou who was glaring at him angrily, smiled at the corner of his mouth, withdrew his hand, and pressed it lightly, and the lid of the box slowly closed.

Miss Xiahou's vision was swallowed up by darkness little by little.

Lu is different!

Lu is different!
