Return to the rumor

The spacious and clean courtyard of the dwelling house has gray tiles and gray walls, and vast old trees. You can see the colorful flower garden in the backyard through the vertical flower gate along the corridor. Although there are no exquisite and luxurious cornices and heavy arches, it does not have a taste of simplicity and elegance. .

Just now Lu He got into the carriage without thinking, and followed Chi Liangjun who had an inexplicable smile all the way here. Every time he stepped on a bluestone brick and passed a gray-clothed servant and a green-clothed maidservant, the doubts in his heart deepened. point.Until I saw the figure of a familiar man working on the vegetable field reclaimed in the backyard from a distance, those puzzled and puzzled people all turned into panic and panic after reliving the negotiation with Yiyang before leaving. The flowers and the trees shook gently, and the slightly warm wind brought out made her feel unstoppably cold.

Fortunately, Lu He was born with a quiet and stable temperament, and after the sudden change, he became more thoughtful. No matter whether he was happy, angry, sad or happy, he always showed others with a smile, and easily prevented others from knowing what was really in his heart.She quickly regained her composure, and no matter how careful Chi Liangjun beside her was, she couldn't see anything strange from his unrevealed face.

"Father..." Lu He murmured, and quickly stepped forward to hug Lu Shiba, who was sweating profusely and had a short stature.

Although Lu Shiba was escorted to Beijing yesterday, Chi Liangjun saw him for the first time today, and with Yiyang's instructions on his side, he couldn't help standing not far away, stroking his beard and scrutinizing him carefully.I saw that Lu Shiba had a green cloth turban on his head, a gray-brown cross-collar on his body, the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, his legs were wrapped in white cloth, and he was wearing a pair of straw sandals. He was dressed like a capable farmer.Looking at his appearance, his complexion is dark and rough, and his facial features are arranged carelessly without any subtle meaning, especially his eyes are so small that there are almost only slits left, which pales in comparison to Lu He's piercing eyes.

The more Chi Liangjun looked at it, the more he frowned, and he had a small question in his heart.

Lu Shiba seemed very surprised by Lu He's arrival, he was slightly startled, and the hoe in his hand fell to the ground with this slack.

"Hey, I'm an official now, what are you crying for?" Lu Shiba should have been affected by the tears from Lu He's eyes and miss her son, so he patted her on the back naturally, and moved towards Chi Liangjun's direction. She pouted, "It's time to show people a joke!"

Chi Liangjun hurriedly bowed: "It's okay, it's okay! To tell the truth, old man, when I was young, I also lived in my aunt's house in the countryside. The folk customs there are simple and natural, and there are fewer scruples about the rules and regulations in the prefectures and counties. , getting along with each other is much more comfortable than the people in the city!"

Lu Shiba laughed heartily, and called to a wing room in the backyard: "Mother, baby, come out and see who is here!"

He was about to wipe off the sweat with the back of his hand covered with mud and sweat, but Lu He stopped him, took out a towel and wiped it carefully for him, the tears stopped at least, but his eyes were still rimmed with red.

A thick female voice at the other end of the wing agreed, and ran over with her skirts in her hands, and when she got closer, she stopped slowly, staring fixedly at Lu He who could barely move, and said sadly as she walked. Wipe away tears.

"Mother..." Lu He solemnly lifted up his robe and knelt down on the spot, saluted and kowtowed.

Ruan Niang let out a heartbroken "Ouch", stepped forward with a pair of unbound feet of a peasant woman, helped her up, looked here and there, as if she wanted to burn her in her heart, and it took her a long time to embrace her. Rubbing his head in his arms: "My son, I want to die as a mother!"

Lu He also choked up: "My daughter also misses her mother." Instead of hiding it, it's better to retreat in front of Chi Liangjun and see what Yiyang wants to do with this hot potato.

Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang were startled when they heard the words, they looked at Chi Liangjun in unison, then knelt down on the ground in unison, their faces pale and trembling: "Big... big... my lord... ...grass...grass...grass people..."

The couple tremblingly looked at me and looked at you, unable to complete a smooth sentence, and stuttered for a long time. Before they came to Beijing from Yunzhou, they had a few ideas to discuss with Ju Mengbai. Come out at 01:30.

Chi Liangjun was also taken aback by Lu He's surprise. Seeing the older elder kneeling in front of him tremblingly, fearing that his life would be lost, he hurriedly moved a few steps aside, but pretended to look deeply at Lu He. He Chu glanced.

Lu He cursed secretly for what an effective old fox!

"Father, mother, what are you doing?" Lu He turned his back to Chi Liangjun, helped Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang up one after another, and made a wink, seeing that the two men's expressions settled down and pointed at the vegetable field He laughed and said, "The capital is in all directions, so you can just go to the market to buy what you want to eat, why is it so hard?"

When Chi Liangjun heard it, he almost couldn't hold back his smile—what a clever girl, how could she pretend that she didn't say anything just now?If he had known this earlier, he should have taken over the words and brought her into the army!

Lu Shiba smiled honestly, and spoke in a hurry with a little Yunzhou accent: "Everything is good in this capital! It's such a big yard where only your mother and I live, and it feels deserted. At a glance, there are no chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep. No, it’s just hard looking and useless stone tables and benches, and the flowers and plants are so careless to see those young men and girls take care of it, it’s even harder to support us than us!” When he said this, he realized that he was a bit lazy With a sense of resentment, he couldn't help showing an embarrassed smile to Chi Liangjun, but it was hard to close the conversation box, "Yesterday, your mother and I went to the rice market to buy rice. The price is high, and the boss is so narrow-minded! We country people are easy to bully. When we measure the rice, we are short of catties. We see some strange faces around us, and there are two strong men standing at the door of the store, looking at them with fierce looks, so we have to swallow a bad breath and come back in despair. No, your mother loves money, and she thought about opening a vegetable field in the yard, planting some vegetables, no matter whether it is eaten or sold, it will not waste such a large area, will it?"

"Why do you care about money? It's just something outside of you, just a cloud in the sky." Lu He thought for a while, then smiled, "If you like it, it's okay to pass the time, but you don't need to worry about money for rice and vegetables."

Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang nodded in agreement, with wrinkled smiles on their faces.

It is a pity that such a scene of a harmonious father, a loving father and a filial son cannot be faulted at all.

Chi Liangjun's eyes lingered back and forth between the faces of Ruan Niang and Lu He calmly. Although Ruan Niang is old and frail now, his facial features are meticulously sculpted, showing a clear and natural appearance. Maybe it was almost the same as Lu He when he was young?

Seeing the sunset, he bowed and smiled before leaving: "The mansion is the mansion bestowed by Master Lu He as the attendant lecturer for Her Royal Highness Princess Yiyang. His Highness’s teacher’s apprenticeship ceremony, whoever’s hands and feet are not diligent and unclean, beats and scolds! The firewood, rice, oil and salt, it’s because the servants I told me didn’t take care of it, and in the morning, they sent some seasonal vegetables from Yunzhou every day. It won't cost much money, so don't worry about it."

The surroundings gradually fell silent. Lu He was about to ask Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang a question, but saw a furtive figure at the Moon Gate, and looked intently. It was the one that Chi Liangjun had recommended to him when he just stepped into the courtyard gate. Butler Liu Ai!

The smile on her face gradually became colder and weaker, and the hands covered in the sleeves of her robe were clenched into fists—what a princess of Yiyang!Obviously she is courting me to win me over, but secretly she has this kind of thought, if she has a weakness, she still wants to force her close relatives to force me to submit!That's all, even if you still have doubts about your own family background, it is extremely despicable to use such a shady method to monitor and test, and really willing to reuse a villain like Hu Laiyan.

Lu He lowered his head and changed into a smiling face, and filially helped Lu Shiba walk to the wing room. While laughing, he said in a low voice: "Sir, did you ask you to bring a message?"

It takes about a month to send a letter back and forth from the official posts in the capital and capital of Yunzhou. Last time, I was afraid that she would be worried and sad, so I concealed the fact that the woman's identity would be found out in the letter paper.Since then, no reply has been received yet, but Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang have already been taken to Beijing by Yiyang. Presumably, the recent construction of the Qinyuan Palace and the transportation of Taihu stones have somewhat delayed the progress of the official post.It stands to reason that Lu Shiba and Ruan Niang's husband and wife have always been undecided, but Mr. Wei follows the lead and will not fail to ask him.

"It's not an oral letter, it's a handwritten letter!" Lu Shiba really wanted to take out a letter from his sleeve.

Lu He hurriedly blocked it with his sleeves, helped Lu Shiba up the steps, and said softly, "Go in and tell me that no one in this yard can be trusted."

The matter was urgent, and Lu He was not like before this time. After reading the letter paper at a glance, his brows were furrowed together.

Her frowning look also made Lu Shiba anxious, and walked around the round table several times in the room, and finally couldn't hold back, slapped the back of his hand, and said anxiously: "What are you talking about, why don't you say anything! It can't be that the head fell to the ground before the emperor's food was eaten into the stomach?"

Lu He pursed his lips tightly, read the letter paper again, and shook the letter paper with a trembling voice: "Why didn't this letter come from Mr.'s own handwriting? Is her eye disease... getting worse?"

Lu Shiba waited for a long time for this question that seemed insignificant to him. He only called Amitabha in his heart, and almost said it outright, but Ruan Niang glared at him and dragged him to sit down.Only then did I recall Ju Mengbai's instructions at the time, and said with a relaxed smile, "It's not serious. After drinking a few prescriptions prescribed by the doctor in the town, it's already cured. It's just that it's easy to see things at night. It happened to be the day when I looked for her. In the middle of the night, she asked the old man to write a letter!"

If he concealed the words of comfort, Mr.'s temperament of always being considerate of others must be full of words, so as not to allow himself any room for worry.

Only then did Lu He feel relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief silently. Even the luxurious and overstated household items that made her heartbroken just a moment ago were pleasing to the eye. Let's see."
