Lu Zhenghan knew that the third uncle had a marriage contract with Mu Wanting, the third lady of the Mu family, but Mu Wanting disappeared due to an accident in her early years, and this marriage became a bubble.

But he still remembered that even so, when someone told the third uncle about matchmaking before, the third uncle still used the reason of "keeping the marriage contract for Mu Wanting" to refuse the matchmaker who came to the door.

Yes, when Lu Zhenghan was very young, he felt that his third uncle was an infatuated man who kept his promises.

But listening to grandpa's tone, is there another secret in this?

"Big Young Master~"

Uncle Wang's voice suddenly appeared behind Lu Zhenghan, Lu Zhenghan was forced to retract his thoughts, and the old man and Third Uncle Lu in the house turned their heads to look over when they heard the movement outside the door.

Both pairs of eyes looked at Lu Zhenghan at the same time.

Uncle Lu San stood up from the ground, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Zheng, when did you come back?" ”

Lu Zhenghan lowered his eyes and coughed lightly against his lips: "Just arrived." ”

"Did you hear that?"

"Ahem...... Well. ”

Third Uncle Lu looked up at the sky helplessly, sighed, and thought that he had not been disciplined by the old man in front of his eldest nephew once or twice, so he didn't care too much.

Because his father is still here, he has returned to the old house where he grew up, even if Lu Tianci is over half a hundred years old and in his fifties, his wrinkled face is still full of childishness.

Stretched out his hand, put his arm around Lu Zhenghan's shoulder, and looked at the old father: "Dad!" Xiao Zheng is here, you can save me some face, today's criticism is over, right? ”

Old Man Lu glanced at his eldest grandson Lu Zhenghan: "I called you to ask you to come back tomorrow, why did you come back today?" "Disturb him to fix his son!

Lu Zhenghan spread his hands and did not make an excuse.

Can he say that he is afraid that the third uncle, a person who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon and often plays missing, will suddenly disappear again?

I didn't listen to my grandfather that the third uncle had returned to the old house, so he rushed back non-stop.

Old Man Lu puffed his pestle and crutches angrily, and said in his heart, for the sake of the recent progress in your relationship with Lin Yatou, I won't worry about you!

glanced at his third son Lu Tianci again, and put down a sentence: "Let's keep up with your eldest nephew!" He has a daughter-in-law, and you're still single! Don't be ashamed! After speaking, he left the ancestral hall with the help of Wang Bo on crutches.

When Lu Zhenghan heard his grandfather use himself as an example to criticize the third uncle, he felt a little weird in his heart, pulled the corners of his lips, and was speechless.

Lu Tianci hugged him and walked out indifferently: "Go!" Let's have a drink! ”

Because in the suburbs, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the night of the old house is exceptionally quiet, and the moonlight above the house is extraordinarily bright.

Lu Zhenghan and Lu Tianci's uncle and nephew sat on the stone table in the courtyard, and the servants served seasonal side dishes with wine, these ingredients were planted by the old man and the servants themselves, after simple cooking, although simple, but they can taste the original taste of the food.

But eating vegetables is secondary, and the uncle and nephew drank alcohol to the month, talking about their experiences over the years, and they all sighed.

Uncle Lu sighed that Lu Zhenghan had climbed all the way, and led the Lu family to become the top family in the Taicheng pyramid, which raised the wealth and prestige of the Lu Group to a new level.

Between the two drinking, Uncle Lu couldn't help but praise Lu Zhenghan.

Lu Zhenghan just poured wine and toasted the third uncle, and the hardships were all in the cup, and he didn't say much.

The two drank a few more glasses, and Lu Zhenghan mentioned the third uncle's lifelong event through the wine.

"Third uncle, are you really single until now for the marriage contract with the missing third miss of the Mu family?"

Uncle Lu was not surprised to hear Lu Zhenghan ask this question, laughed heartily a few times, and drank all the wine in the cup.

Suddenly, staring at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, there was more sadness in his eyes than never before.

He shook his head, his voice lonely and honest: "No. ”

Seeing Lu Zhenghan's surprised face, he patted Lu Zhenghan's back with a smile, and said with infinite emotion: "Big nephew, what is the situation in the world?" Only teach people two tears! ”

After pondering for a moment, Third Uncle Lu continued:

"The Mu family was on par with our Lu family back then, and my marriage contract with the third lady of the Mu family was also considered a marriage, I was still young with her at that time, how could I have such a deep affection for her? Waiting for her until now? ”

"When I reached the marriageable age, a matchmaker came to the door, and the reason why I drove those matchmakers away on the grounds of a marriage contract with Miss Mu San was just because I didn't want to marry at all."

"Huh?" When Lu Zhenghan heard this, even if he was usually calm and self-controlled, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment.

Why is the third uncle reluctant to marry?

Seeing Lu Zhenghan's question, Uncle Lu didn't hide it, he was happy today, so he wanted to tell everything.

"People say that when you are young, you can't meet too amazing people, your third uncle and I are more convinced of the word 'fate', when I was in my twenties, once, I traveled to the countryside, passed by a village, met a girl, when I saw the girl for the first time, I realized what is called a heart-pounding ......"

"Because the first time I saw the girl, I felt that my destined person was coming, and then, under the pretext of being lost, I asked the girl to help me lead the way, the girl said very little, and she was very quiet, and most of the time along the way, I was talking, she was listening, and occasionally when I asked her some customs, she would answer a few words."

"After that, I rented a house near the village, and the girl was more reserved, and she was always shy when I pretended to meet her in the fields, but she seemed to like to listen to me tell interesting stories about the outside world, and every time I told them, there were stars in her eyes."

"Later, I finally mustered up the courage to return to Taicheng to find your grandfather, and told your grandfather that I wanted to marry that girl, but your grandfather immediately refused, with the prestige and prestige of our Lu family at that time, how could he agree to let me marry a powerless girl in the countryside? Your grandfather not only rejected me, but also imprisoned me in his house and prevented me from going out again, so as to cut off my contact with the girl. ”

"I was forced to go on a hunger strike, and I went on a hunger strike for a few days and nights, and your grandfather saw that my life was going to be confessed, so he agreed in desperation, and after recuperation, I quickly returned to the village after my health improved, ready to confess to the girl, but ......"

When Uncle Lu said this, his originally bright and soft eyes suddenly darkened, and he sighed helplessly.

Lu Zhenghan was thrilled when he heard this, his appetite had been raised, and when he heard the third uncle talking, he suddenly stopped, not only urging: "But what's the matter?" And then what?"

"On that day, I was going to visit her parents at her house and talk about the proposal, but I saw ...... But I saw her wearing a red wedding dress and was carried onto the sedan chair......"

"Huh?" The cup in Lu Zhenghan's hand was heavily placed on the table.

"It turned out that she was the adopted child of her parents, and because her family was too poor to pay the tuition fees for her adoptive parents' biological children to go to school, they casually married her to a family in a neighboring village, and the family promised to give her parents a bride price of 30,000 yuan."

"For money?" Lu Zhenghan wrinkled his eyebrows, "Then third uncle, why don't you find her parents, explain everything to her parents, and stop this ridiculous marriage, it is ten times more than this 30,000 yuan, and our Lu family can afford it!" ”

Uncle Lu shook his head with a smile.

"It's late, it's late, I followed her all the way to the house where she was going to marry in the neighboring village, she also saw me in the crowd, and while she was toasting, she sneaked out, I made it clear to her and asked her to go with me, I promised to make up a sum of money for her adoptive parents, but she ......"

"But she said that in the countryside, marriage is not child's play, the wedding has already been held, if she escapes, then her adoptive parents will be talked about by the villagers, and they will never be able to raise their heads in the village, and her younger brother will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future......

It was at that moment that I understood that the worldly ideas bound her, and she would never go with me...... In the end, she pushed me away with her own hands, wiped her tears and turned around and ran into the house of the person who had posted the big red happy letter. ”

Hearing the end, Lu Zhenghan was deeply shocked, and threw himself into the sharp gaze of the third uncle, surging with complicated emotions.

After a long silence, he spoke:

"Therefore, you are still reluctant to marry, not because of the marriage contract with the third miss of the Mu family, but because of ...... Because of that country girl. ”

Third Uncle Lu smiled bitterly: "Exactly." ”

"Sometimes I wonder if if I hadn't come back to tell your grandfather at that time, but had gone straight to the girl's adoptive parents and proposed to them, would it have ended differently......

"Alas...... That's it, this relationship that ended without a problem can only prove that I am really destined for that girl, and I don't need to blame your grandfather for blocking it......"

As he spoke, Third Uncle Lu poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his neck, and smiled even more far-fetched: "Perhaps, your grandfather has learned from my previous experience, so he no longer cares so much about his granddaughter-in-law's background, and chose a girl with a very ordinary family background who can be said to be different from our Lu family as his wife." ”

"In other words, this is also a thing that makes your third uncle and me more gratified, and it is worth it to see your grandfather's attitude change, and my sacrifice!"

Lu Zhenghan bowed slightly, his appearance was silent, but his heart was turbulent.

The third uncle's analysis is reasonable, according to his grandfather's standards for looking at people, even if his granddaughter-in-law is not a good person, at least she should be from a wealthy family.

Grandpa played cards so unreasonably, and chose Lin Yu for himself, which was contrary to common sense, and he felt strange at the time, but now that he thinks about it, grandpa looks at his character and does not look at his background, maybe he was influenced by the third uncle.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Lu Zhenghan's back, if there was no third uncle, then he and that girl might not have intersected in this life, let alone become husband and wife in a flash marriage......

The story is the lead, the liquor pierces the intestines, and it is the most intoxicating.

Lu Zhenghan's narrow eyes were dyed red due to alcohol, and under the cold moonlight, his eyebrows and eyes were even deeper, his sharp eyes narrowed, and suddenly, the little girl's bun face appeared in his mind.

Tonight's moon is extraordinarily round and extraordinarily bright, just like the eyes of a little girl without impurities.

He raised his eyes and looked.

I don't know if the little girl slept at this time.

If she hadn't slept, at this time, was she staying by her mother's side, and her dark and clear eyes were also looking at the moon hanging high outside the window?

*

The wind blew the white curtains in the ward, everything was silent, the moonlight was shining, every time she used to accompany the bed, when night came, Lin Yu felt that the surroundings were cold, and there was only the smell of nasty disinfectant in the air.

But tonight was different, she held her sleeping mother's hand, her eyes were soft, and she felt that the smell of disinfectant in the air had become so good.

With a smile on the corner of his lips, his watery pupils slowly raised, squinting out the window.

Today's moon is so gentle......
