Chapter 128 I strayed into a daze in meditation, and the dispute at dinner was difficult to dissolve
"Don't say it. β
Lu Wende's voice suddenly raised by three points, and he felt extremely disappointed when he saw his son actually speaking for others.
Lu Shikui's body trembled, obviously frightened, and he muttered: "But father, I just want to share my father's worries." After all, seeing his father working hard every day, he went to Junzhou, if his father was angry, wouldn't the child not go?" Lu Shikui thought that the reason why his father was angry was because he had too close contact with Zhang Wei in private.
"Alas, I also know your good intentions, but you should not continue to meddle in this Junzhou matter. Got it?"
Lu Wende's heart was full of sourness, and his son's eyes were sincere in his eyes, and he was clearly an ignorant teenager, but it was a pity that he couldn't see through the fog behind it, which was a pity.
"But what about the grain road, what about the borrowing of the road that Zhang Wei proposed?" Lu Shikui was puzzled and continued to ask.
Lu Wende's face turned red, and he shouted again: "Didn't I say it? Let you not meddle in this matter, understand? Or do you think I don't have enough things for you?"
"But father, childβ"
Lu Shikui seemed to be scared out of his soul, and his words couldn't be clear.
"You. Let's go back and read more books, and don't worry about this and that. Do you understand?" Lu Wende waved his hand and asked the attendants around him to send Lu Shikui out, he didn't want to see his son at the moment.
When Lu Shikui was sent out, Lu Wende sat down again, looking stunned and deep in thought.
At this moment, it is almost dusk, the yellow-orange-orange sunlight shines into the house through the window lattice, so that people can vaguely see the scene in the house, a bed, a table and some paper and pencils, this is Lu Wende's bedroom, it doesn't look like the residence of Wei Guogong, but Lu Wende Rongma has been used to it all his life, and he has long been accustomed to this simple life, but he doesn't care much.
The sun was mournful as it approached dusk, and the huge room was very cold.
But it was only when he was in this place that Lu Wende realized his breath, and the pounding heart made him feel as if he was still alive.
"Is there really no choice?"
I don't know how long it took, until the sunlight in the entire room had faded, leaving only boundless darkness, that Lu Wende squirmed his lips, as if he had made up his mind.
"Bang!"
The sound of pushing the door broke the peace here, and Lu Wenhuan stepped into the room, seeing that Lu Wende was always sitting on the edge of the table, as motionless as a statue: "Brother, it's time to eat now, why are you still staying here?
"Is it time to eat?"
Lu Wende's face was confused, and he had not noticed the change in time until now.
Lu Wenhuan closed his head and replied: "Of course. The doors were all opened, and through the gates, you could see the stars in the sky, "It's all this time, of course, it's time to eat." Or brother, you have reached the realm of feather ascension, and you no longer need to consume whole grains?"
"How is this possible. β
Lu Wende shook his head, knowing that Lu Wenhuan's words were just a joke.
He got up from his chair and stepped out of the room, the starlight in the sky sprinkled on his body, and he regained his previous serious expression, and said: "People are iron and rice, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal." If you don't eat, where will you have the strength to resist the invasion of foreign enemies?"
"That's good. I thought you wanted to retreat because the blow was too bad, brother. But since you have recovered, then don't do it, if you tell our brother something, of course we will help you complete it. Lu Wenhuan felt a little relieved, he hadn't seen Lu Wende's blank expression for a long time before, which really made him feel creepy.
"Yes!"
Lu Wende looks a little dull, and his speech is also like gold, and a little more will seem very wasteful.
"Brother, aren't you still thinking about the things of the day?"
Lu Wenhuan began to be afraid, thinking that it was because of his previous events that caused Lu Wende to become like this, so he opened his mouth and asked, "By the way, brother, what's wrong with you?
"Hmph. Do you know?"
Lu Wende snorted lightly, and his tone became serious: "You dared to talk to me like that yesterday? If someone hears it, even if I am willing, I am afraid that you will be plucked off a layer of skin." Or do you think that with me on top, you can have nothing to fear, even if something happens, someone will help you carry it?"
"It's just talking, what's the big deal? And this Xiangyang is thousands of miles away from Lin'an, how can they know the true situation of this Xiangyang Mansion?" Lu Wenhuan didn't care and continued.
"Alas. Can't you just be careful? Don't forget that the wall has ears. β
Lu Wende felt a lot of headaches, and sure enough, his cousin didn't pay much attention: "If it weren't for your character, why would you be just the prefect of Xiangyang Mansion until now." β
Lu Wenhuan pursed his lips and responded, "Okay, I understand, right?" There was some emotion when he spoke, obviously not very interested in what Lu Wende said.
While talking, the two also came to the main hall, which had already prepared a table of meals, including Lu Shikui, Lu Shimeng and others, all of whom were also here. This is the habit that Lu Wende has developed, by eating again to improve the prestige of his patriarch, and in this way to maintain contact with the clan, he can detect some problems in time.
No, seeing Lu Wende coming here, all the clansmen, including Lu Shikui and Lu Shimeng, all stood up and watched Lu Wende sit on the table.
There are not many rules of the Lu family, and any one has its own reasons, of course Lu Wende is not interested in understanding it, so he went straight to his own seat, and then waved to everyone and thanked him: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for making you wait for a long time." β
"It's okay father. After all, it's just a family dinner, and it's not a big deal. Lu Shikui is still so resentful, after all, his mention was vetoed, but he was a little disappointed.
"Sit down. β
Lu Wende nodded, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly sat down.
Probably because the atmosphere was too solemn, everyone didn't make much noise when they were Chi'an, and they were all quiet like puppets, just mechanically repeating the action of eating, but they didn't dare to do anything else.
Feeling the solemn atmosphere, Lu Wenhuan felt a little depressed, and hurriedly picked up the egg custard on the table, handed it to Lu Wende, and complained: "Brother, you often use this egg custard, this is what I told the cook to make, and the taste must be the same as your appetite." As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful, and when he was about to hand it to Lu Wende, he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to stuff it into his mouth again, and said while tasting it: "Don't say this, it tastes really good." β
"I see. β
Lu Wende raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wenhuan, although he didn't say much, but his eyes were full of reproach, so that Lu Wenhuan had to stop his movements and lie on his stomach again with the food in his bowl.
"But father, if you don't eat it, it's not good for your health. After all, if you don't eat well, it will affect hyperthyroidism. Lu Shikui couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth to persuade.
Lu Wende's eyes rolled and fell in front of Lu Shikui, at this moment Lu Shikui was still so ignorant, which made Lu Wende feel a little angry: "Poor health? If it weren't for these things you made, why would I be so passive?" suddenly threw the chopsticks in his hand aside, obviously extremely angry at Lu Shikui.
If it weren't for the fact that this Lu Shikui was his own son, he would really want to throw out this guy who has not done enough and has more than enough failures.
Lu Shikui felt frightened again, and said in a low voice: "Father, me, what's wrong with me?"
"Tell me, did the matter of Junzhou come from? Because of this matter, do you know how passive it is for us to fall to the ground?" Lu Wende couldn't help it, and raised his hand to slap him.
"Smack!"
Lu Shikui's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were full of tears, his lips were pursed, and he looked a little innocent.
But Lu Wende was not like this, he felt that his son was too stupid, and shouted directly: "Tell me in front of everyone, what did you do yesterday?"
"Father!
Fortunately, this place is the inner hall of the clan, and there are no outsiders at the scene, but Lu Shikui still feels extremely ashamed, as if everything about himself has been pulled out, he still wants to defend his position when he raises his head, this feeling of being watched by everyone is really bad.
"The reason why I went to Junzhou to see Zhang Wei yesterday was to find out the whereabouts of the other party. Father, is it wrong for the child to do this? I wonder what the father thinks is right! If so, please tell the child so that he will not make a mistake again in the future. β
With his head raised suddenly, Lu Shikui seemed to be unable to bear his father's neglect of him, so he asked loudly.
"You, don't you know you're wrong?" Lu Wende's eyes were red, and he raised his hand and waved it at Lu Shikui.
The arm had not yet fallen, but it was taken out by Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenhuan's expression became serious, and he shouted in a low voice: "Brother." What the hell is going on with you, you didn't treat your nephew like this before. β
"That's right. β
Lu Shikui covered his mouth and said aggrievedly: "My father always asked me to reflect on whether I was wrong, but you never told me what I did wrong. In this world, has there been a father who treats his son like this?"
Seeing this scene, the rest of the people stopped their wooden chopsticks and watched this scene with worry.
Such a scene is also the first time they have seen it, and they really don't know how to deal with it, not to mention that Lu Wende was originally the patriarch of the Lu family, completely out of filial piety and obedience to the orders of his superiors, and he didn't dare to have any doubts.
"Very good, do you want to listen to it? Then I'll tell you, why are you always involved with Zhang Wei, the governor of Junzhou?"
Lu Wende began to explain: "You don't know what kind of person this Zhang Wei is. He used to be Xiao Feng's secretary, and he once presided over the construction of the Danjiangkou Bridge, and developed Junzhou into an outstanding figure now. Do you think such a person will be close to you without a purpose?"
"It can't be. β
Lu Shikui hurriedly explained: "That Zhang Wei is quite sincere, he will never do this." β
Lu Wende snorted lightly, his words were full of contempt, and shouted: "No, it's just a fool to deceive you, I don't believe that this guy really has no purpose." After all, you're my son, and it would be terrible if you inadvertently leaked the secrets of our army. Seeing that Lu Shikui still had to explain, he blocked Lu Shikui's words with a straight sentence: "Don't forget, we are the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, but that Xiao Feng is unruly, not only occupying the area of Guannei, but also always fighting hard and watching the world, if they come to attack Xiangfan, what do you say?"
"This can't be?"
Although Lu Shikui spoke to defend himself, he felt empty-hearted.
Anyone can see Xiao Feng's ambitions, judging from the thousands of kilometers of railways, the towering steel mills, and even the energetic soldiers, there is simply a surplus of guarding the pass.
With such a huge Xiao Feng, she will definitely stretch her claws to the next place.
"Impossible?"
Lu Wende sneered: "If it is impossible, then why did she propose to attack the Central Plains? She even tried to apply to me so that I could allow their ships to enter the Yangtze River?" Thinking of this, Lu Wende was even more sure of his opinion, that the purpose of the army transferred to Junzhou was to annex Xiangyang.
Since this is the case, as the chief general of Xiangyang, it is naturally impossible for Lu Wende to give up.
Lu Shikui was speechless, some sobs came from his drooping face, and tears dripped down the dining table, but he was directly scolded and cried.
"Brother. Lu Wenhuan stood up and opened his mouth to persuade: "Yu Qing is also young, so he fell for the other party's tricks." You don't need to reprimand like that, do you?" said to one of the people beside him: "Master, you help your cousin go back, do you know?"
"Daddy, I see. β
Lu Shisheng hurriedly dropped his job and stood up, walked to Lu Shikui's side, helped Lu Shikui up, and comforted: "Brother, don't be sad, let's go down first." I think my uncle was also confused for a while, so he was like this. Seeing that Lu Shikui's mood had improved a little, he took Lu Shikui and walked towards the hall.
Lu Wende didn't give up, and shouted: "Take advantage of this time to go back and reflect on it, don't always be self-righteous and fall into the trap of the other party." β
"Alas. I said Jingxiu, although Yu Qing is your son, how can you say that he is also a person in his thirties, you are only afraid that it will be bad for you to say this. Seeing that Lu Wende was so angry, Lu Wenhuan hurriedly spoke up to persuade him.
"Hmph. I taught my son, when is it your turn to intervene?And you must not forget, those things you have done?Or do you think that I will not pursue you if I am serious?" Lu Wende seemed to have the resentment in his heart, and continued to shout at Lu Wenhuan.
Lu Wenhuan was a little stunned, and opened his mouth to reply: "Jingxiu, what do you mean by this?"
