Lu Xiaoxuan felt that there was nothing special about the ancient mirror, so she only put it at the head of the bed, thinking that it was useless, and it would be good to take it back to conform to history and make a funeral gift for her old man.

Who knew that the mirror was swinging, but Lu Ying had a dream at night.

In the dream, he carried a sword and slashed the mourning flags around him, like a mad demon.

"Mother? Where's my mother? You all like to lie to me, and this time too! She's not dead! She's not going to die! ”

Someone grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Wake up, your mother is dead!" She died to protect you! If it weren't for you, how could someone as shrewd as her fight with the first grandmaster of Dongying Martial Arts fight for her life, so that her heart was damaged and she lacked the skills to return to heaven. ”

Lu Ying couldn't see this person's face clearly, only saw that his hair was red, and there were only four fingers on his left hand.

The red-haired man dragged Lu Ying and rushed into the mourning hall, there was a dark inscription on the hall, and there was a tablet, which was written "The position of the loving mother Lu Xiaoxuan".

Lu Ying knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

He thought, if only I could practice martial arts, if only I could be strong enough not to need my mother's protection, but to protect her in turn.

Someone said to him, Lu Ying, people like you can actually cry for someone.

Until someone lifted him up and said, "Don't cry." ”

Lu Ying looked up and found that the mourning hall was gone, and he was in the pavilion by the sea, and in front of him was the little general who had appeared in a dream.

The little general was dressed in white, with a jade crown and tied hair, and his face was very similar to his mother's birth, but compared to his mother's sharp and handsome, he was more gentle and beautiful, and he was a peach blossom face that smiled before he spoke, and was affectionate, he had seen this person in his dream before, but he didn't expect that the other party would take off his armor and be so kind and gentle.

Lu Ying touched her wet face and wondered, "Where is this?" Who are you? ”

"It's a dream." There was indescribable compassion in his eyes, and he looked like a bodhisattva, "You shouldn't have dreamed of this." ”

He gently pushed Lu Ying, Lu Ying was awakened, he sat up slowly on the bed, and before he could break free from the sadness and remorse in his dream, Lu Xiaoxuan also woke up from his son's movement, and reached out to touch his son's forehead in a daze.

"Yingying, feel unwell? Is your sore throat sore? Does the headache hurt? Does your knee hurt? Lu Xiaoxuan was accustomed to her son's weak body, and when she opened her mouth, she asked him what was most likely to hurt when he was sick.

Lu Ying shook her head: "It's not painful, and I'm not sick, it's just like a dream." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan sighed, scooped his son into his arms, patted him on the back, and sang a nursery rhyme.

"The moon poops, sit in it, buy groceries, and sit a grandmother in it......"

Lu Ying leaned on her arms: "Mother, what kind of song is this?" ”

Lu Xiaoxuan closed her eyes: "It's a nursery rhyme on the other side of Dongting Lake." ”

This is the song that Concubine Li taught Qin Shu'an, and Qin Shu'an taught her.

Concubine Li is a Hunan girl who grew up by Dongting Lake, and she laughs with pear vortex, which makes people unconsciously think of the lakes and mountains in spring, but Lu Xiaoxuan remembers that she is a person with a strong tendency to self-destruct, refusing to take medicine when she is sick, and always looking at the pool in a daze.

When Concubine Li knew that Lu Xiaoxuan knew martial arts, she secretly pulled her daughter-in-law and asked, "After I die, can you steal my body, burn it and sprinkle it into Dongting Lake?" Your Majesty and Shu'an don't understand me, only you can help me, I don't want to see my father and mother after I die. ”

Lu Xiaoxuan agreed, and Concubine Li laughed, her eyes full of gratitude, like a little girl.

Later, Lu Xiaoxuan chased a case to the capital, the case was completed, and he went to steal the bones of Concubine Li, and fulfilled his promise, just that night Emperor Cheng'an walked to the concubine's mausoleum, and complained to the mother in the mausoleum that he couldn't give birth to a son, and there were few capable officials available to his subordinates, it was so difficult to be the emperor, the two bumped into each other, and the emperor's uncle looked at Lu Xiaoxuan and was happy.

He can't have children, but he is less than thirty years old, and there is a princess born to a noble concubine under his knees, which means that he can give birth, but he has to work harder.

He lacks capable officials, and the first nine brothers and sisters, as famous detectives in the rivers and lakes, aren't they ready-made strong laborers?

Mother, you can be regarded as a manifestation!

Emperor Cheng'an arrested Lu Xiaoxuan, sealed the official and gave Qian Yilong, leaving the person behind.

As a capable official of the Criminal Department, Lu Xiaoxuan should have been running around to investigate cases, but this time he took his son out for a trip and took a mirror of the old year, which was a family visit leave that he had not touched for several years.

Officials of the Yu Dynasty can apply for a one-month family leave every year, and if there is an emergency, urgency, or affairs that need to be done thousands of miles away, they can extend the leave for half a month.

After Emperor Yongkang (Qin Zhanying) ascended the throne, he suspected that officials had too many holidays, so with a wave of his hand, he changed the family visit leave once a year to once every three years......

Lu Xiaoxuan felt that there was not much left of the holiday, so the next day he took Lu Ying to say goodbye to the old lady of the Qiu family and Uncle Qiu, and wanted to send his son back to his grandfather.

Old Madam Qiu sent money and dry food, and asked embarrassedly: "Since Lord Lu is going to the south, can you bring someone by the way?" ”

Lu Xiaoxuan: "Who?" ”

Old Mrs. Qiu: "It is my fourth grandson, Qiu Yu, his father received an appointment to be the prefect of Binzhou, so he sent a letter to take Qiu Yu over, and the servants and carriages are waiting, but there is still an adult to take care of it." ”

Lu Xiaoxuan wanted to bring someone out of the way, so she agreed very happily, and Mrs. Qiu immediately left them for breakfast, and asked the maid to call Qiu Yu over.

Half an hour passed, breakfast was finished, the smile on Mrs. Qiu's face disappeared, Uncle Qiu looked embarrassed, Second Master Qiu didn't say a word, took the crutches from the old lady and went out.

After a cup of tea, Qiu Yu came in rubbing her buttocks, sleepy-eyed, listless, and full of grievances: "I squatted for so long last night, and beat me today, it's really my second uncle." ”

Second Master Qiu was about to kick when he raised his foot, but was stopped by Uncle Qiu: "Second brother, forget it, the child is still young." ”

Second Master Qiu pointed at Qiu Yu: "It's all so big, still small?" ”

Uncle Qiu was heartbroken: "But he is really only eight years old!" ”

Qiu Yu's face was full of calmness, and he puffed up his chest proudly when he heard Second Master Qiu say that he was big.

Lu Ying snickered, and when she looked up, she found Qiu Yu looking at him with a smile, and immediately turned her face away, as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Yu simply walked to Brother Ying's side and said, "My old man drove a carriage for me, can we sit together?" ”

Lu Ying looked at her mother, Lu Xiaoxuan nodded, and looked at Qiu Yu thoughtfully.

A little historical knowledge - some linguists have researched, the fierce Huguang people were slaughtered by the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Yu Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and the government could only migrate a group of people from other regions to the Huguang area, so the current Huguang people are not the same as the later batch of accents, they are more accustomed to calling their father "史可", "old man" is the name after the Qing Dynasty.

Officer Lu, who had been a criminal investigator for more than ten years before the crossing, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes were clear.

When getting into the carriage, Qiu Yu stretched out her hand to Brother Ying: "Come, carry you up." ”

Lu Ying looked at him indifferently and coldly, and stepped on the small stool brought by the servant.

Qiu Yu sighed: "Even getting in the car is so elegant and noble. ”

Lu Ying stumbled and almost fell.

He snorted and looked at Qiu Yu, finally a little like a six-year-old child.

Qiu Yu was complacent, dozed off for a while after getting into the car, and saw that Lu Ying was not energetic, so she took out a small clip and lifted the curtain and clamped it, and after the air was circulated, Lu Ying looked much better.

I saw Qiu Yu take out two boxes of chess pieces and a chessboard: "Lu Gongzi, do you want to play?" ”

Lu Ying mentioned a little interest: "Very good." ”

The two guessed, Lu Ying was in black, Qiu Yu said it badly, and sure enough, he was killed and lost his armor, and he didn't have the power to fight back at all.

Qiu Yu: I knew that Brother Ying could kill Zhang Yi, the chess saint of the Cheng'an Dynasty, when he was sixteen years old, and the ten-game game left by the two was also a classic for later generations.

Because the opponent was too weak, after playing a few games, Lu Ying became happy, her face turned pale and tired again, Qiu Yu saw the child's motion sickness, and had to use a big trick: "Lu Gongzi, do you want to play flying chess?" ”

Lu Ying had nothing to do, and when Qiu Yu said that at the start of flying chess, he needed to throw the dice out of a six, he threw it at will, and the six points came out.

"As long as the dice are under control, they can throw as many points as they want." Lu Ying slowly pushed his shogi forward.

Qiu Yu: Rub, this kid is so dragged.

He rolled up the dice and shook it: "Then will you do this?" ”

Qiu Yu slapped his hands, the dice were gone, Lu Ying's eyes widened, and Qiu Yu showed him the back of his palm, and lifted his sleeve again, which contained a stack of cards, a wooden spinning top, a slingshot, a bag of preserved fruits and rice cakes.

Quite a lot.

Lu Ying muttered: "Where are you hiding?" ”

Qiu Yu: "Guess? ”

Lu Ying looked at him, Qing Lingling's eyes were full of curiosity: "Where is it?" Tell me. ”

Qiu Yu: "For the sake of you being so cute, I'll teach you." ”

A few little magic tricks, things that can be done quickly with his hands, but Lu Ying can't do it, and his hands will become extremely sluggish when they do movements that require control.

Qiu Yu saw that the child's hands were white and tender, so she would stiffen when she exerted her strength: "What's wrong with your hands?" ”

Is it hurt? Or is there a problem with the nerves? Wasn't this brother a sword master later? Why is there still a problem with the hand?

"I used to study medicine, show me?" Qiu Yu stretched out his hand and was avoided.

Lu Ying said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the congenital meridians are weak, the doctor said that I am easy to live short when I practice martial arts, and my family does not allow me to practice martial arts. ”

When he said this, he hid his gloomy eyes well.

Qiu Yu was shocked: "Your grandfather can still point points?" ”

Lu Ying didn't expect that he cared about this, he hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My grandfather is the number one swordsman in the South China Sea, is it strange that a master like him can point points?" ”

Qiu Yu: "Then is his name Ye Gucheng?" ”

Lu Ying was inexplicable: "No, his surname is Lu, who is Ye Gucheng?" ”

Qiu Yu: "A very stylish swordsman, it is said that he is a handsome guy, and my dream is to become a master with both appearance and swordsmanship like him." ”
