Chapter 10: The Immortal Cultivator Who Shows Off His Wealth 2
This matter starts with my grandfather's generation, Old Man Lu (Lu Buping) and Old Man Meng (Meng Xiao) are the young owners of two small chambers of commerce, because they are both in business, and they are in the same town.
The two families have dealings with each other, gradually getting familiar with each other, and finally become a stable cooperative relationship, every time they talk about business, they will involuntarily talk about their children, and finally find that the children of the two families were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day.
The two have a common language, and after gradually becoming friends, they want to kiss each other, so the two families exchanged letters of engagement and decided to wait for the children to grow up and tie the knot together, becoming a good story.
The relationship between the two families also deepened, and Lu Buping's business became bigger and bigger, until he finally became an imperial businessman.
However, after becoming an imperial businessman, Lu Buping, because of his youth and promising, and too many compliments, gradually became arrogant, and finally became unsightly, the business was big, and his family moved to the feet of the Son of Heaven. It's just that Lu Buping's personality is the same as before.
Meng Xiao thought that this matter was a disaster rather than a fortune, and persuaded a few words during a door-to-door visit, but he was considered to be a person with evil intentions, drove out of the Lu Mansion, and even sent back the bespoke relatives the next day. So the two families gradually lost contact.
Until one day, Meng Xiao suddenly heard that Lu Buping had broken the law and was imprisoned. In the end, after many inquiries, I found out that I had offended the big man and was framed and imprisoned.
Meng Xiao understood the cause and effect, and immediately sighed, sure enough, time is also fate, no one knows what tomorrow will be, only by trampling on the ground and taking every step will it last for a long time.
Later, after discussing with his wife, he decided to go to Beijing to visit Lu Buping, but only after arriving did he know that he couldn't do anything without acquaintances in the capital.
I only heard that Lu Buping's family walked and scattered, and even Lu Buping's daughter-in-law was dragged to the army, what good things could this woman do when she entered the barracks. Meng Xiao and his wife stayed in the capital for a few days and then returned to their hometown.
In the past few days in the capital, I also inquired about some useful information, and I knew that the man of the Lu family would also be sent to the border, but he was only a few days late. Meng Xiao decided to wait for Lu Buping to practice for him when he passed by Shandong.
Meng Xiao carried the food box and sat on the tea stall on the side of the road, waiting for the escort personnel, but after the escort arrived.
I didn't recognize it as Lu Buping, there were a few taels of prisoner cars and more than a dozen locked behind the prison carts, with chains on their hands and feet, barefoot, wearing shabby prison clothes, and their skinny bodies, unkempt and unkempt at all, they couldn't tell who was who.
Meng Xiao had no choice but to give the official a few ingots of silver, and asked if it was Lu Buping, before carrying the food box to the first prisoner car, the people in the prisoner car shrank even more, and the shabby prison clothes could not cover the scars all over the body, and the body was bloody.
"Brother Lu Lu. ”
Meng Xiao shouted cautiously, not sure that this person was Lu Buping, this person was even more unbearable than the few people behind, and there was a bloody slave word on his chest. People are no longer what they look like.
"Brother Meng, why are you, you actually came back to practice for me. The hoarse voice sounded softly, giving the feeling of fainting at any moment.
Meng Xiao was uncomfortable and didn't know what to do, so she only fed him the wine and meat gently, but Lu Buping didn't eat it. Raising his unkempt head, he could no longer see the expression on his face, full of hair and beard.
Gray and gray together, Meng Xiao gently plucked the eggshells and rotten vegetable leaves from his head, and smoothed his beard and hair on both sides with wine, so that he could eat and drink. I don't know if it was wine or being moved, Lu Buping actually shed muddy tears.
"Brother Meng, I can't imagine that in the end, you are the only one, practicing for me, when I am prosperous and rich, there are many people around me like carp crossing the river, and now the wall is down and everyone is destroyed, and the drum is beaten by thousands of people. Hahahaha! It's ridiculous. ”
Lu Buping's painful and hoarse voice was like the sound of a broken gong, which was extremely harsh. Meng Xiao just looked at him quietly, with sadness in her eyes.
"Brother Lu, do you need my help with anything?"
Meng Xiao sighed in a low voice, alas! The ancients said that no one asks about people on the poor street, and distant relatives of glory and wealth come, and people make friends of life and death on the poor road, and people make friends of wine and meat in wealth and wealth.
"Brother Meng, I hope you can pay for my son, after all, he is still young, and I"
Lu Buping thought that he had kicked Meng Xiao out of the house at the beginning, and now he actually begged others to do things, which was a little difficult to say, after all, what was needed was not a small amount.
In the end, Meng Xiao still sold most of the family property and bought Lu Buping and his son Lu Zhong back.
After half a year of cultivation, they will recover to a rough idea, but the imprint on their chests can't be removed. Looking at the now flowery Mengfu, the Zhu Pavilion Qinglou, the carved beams and painted buildings, the small bridges and flowing water, the Qionglou Yuyu. The psychology is gradually distorted, and his own family is originally more beautiful and magnificent than this.
It's just that I accidentally offended someone who can't be offended, otherwise why would I have to send someone under the fence.
"Father, if Meng Xiao wasn't stupid that day, how could it be good to kick us out, we are already slaves, and there is really no place to go when we get out, living like this is not a long-term solution, it is better to "
The two glanced at each other, and the colleague let out a lewd smile, and Lu Zhong blinked his fox eyes and went out. After a busy day, I finally found out Meng Miao's schedule and rest time.
Gradually, Lu Zhong will meet Meng Miao from time to time.
For example, when I greeted my parents early in the morning, I happened to see Lu Zhong, who also came to ask for peace, and when I was playing in the back garden with my personal maid, I would always see Lu Zhong dressed in white and graceful, holding a paper fan and gently caressing the petals of peonies.
Once I went to stop him from folding flowers, he actually said, "Flowers can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." What a poetic sentence! His thin lips, high nose, and deep eyes are so charming! Meng Miao ran away with a red face.
Sometimes in the dead of night, the quiet sound of the flute sounds, and the gentle and gentle sound can easily make people fall asleep, and after many encounters, the two gradually become acquainted.
Slowly, Zi Mengmiao finally arrived until his name was Lu Zhong, who was a guest at his own house, and he didn't know when to leave.
When the coincidence became a habit, Meng Miao would inadvertently look for the white figure, listen to the sound of the flute quietly in the dead of night, and finally quietly walk out of his other courtyard in the dead of night, and quietly watch the person blow the flute, with a fascinated expression.
This lasted for two months, and one day I couldn't hear the sound of the flute, and I couldn't sleep, so I had to come to the place where the man often played the flute, but I didn't expect it to be there, and I went back in despair.
He actually saw Lu Zhong at the gate of his courtyard, and threw himself into the man's arms in surprise, sobbing softly, and asked why? Unexpectedly, Lu Zhong actually said that he thought that he was thinking about fasting, so he came to see himself, and was so surprised that he suddenly found that he was still in the arms of others, and he suddenly couldn't raise his head in shame.
"Miao'er, is it that Brother Lu is too difficult to see, so you refuse to look up at me. There was a soft teasing sound from the top of his head, and his jaw was gently lifted.
Meng Miao looked at Lu Zhong's silent warmth, and fell in an instant, until he was almost suffocated by Lu Zhong's kiss, and then came back to his senses. Immediately turned around and went back to his yard in shame, and didn't look back, so he didn't see Lu Zhong's smile when his treacherous plan succeeded.
The two secretly dated late every night, until one day, Lu Zhong, who was full of alcohol, quietly came to Meng Miao's room in the middle of the night to tell him about the pain of lovesickness.
The two snuggled up to each other by the bed, and quietly listened to Lu Zhong say that the two had been engaged to have a baby since childhood, but it was later canceled for some reason, but Lu Zhong had always liked him, and when he was so moved that he heard that Lu Zhong couldn't marry him.
was about to be sad, but it was not quite because he had no success in his career for the time being, and he felt inferior by living in Mengfu, and he didn't want Meng Miao to suffer with him.
Meng Miao didn't expect that the reason why he couldn't marry himself was because he was afraid that he would not be able to give himself happiness, so he was moved and said that he went to ask his father to officiate the wedding for the two.
However, Lu Zhong kept saying that he was not worthy of him, and after listening to some sweet words, somehow the two rolled into bed, and woke up to the screams of the maid the next day.
