Mingyue is ruthless

Everyone in Yang Lou knew that a young man came to the village, he was so handsome, good-natured, and well-mannered, and he didn't know which family he was from.The village head personally led people to tidy up the vacant house at the head of the village and make room for the younger generation to live temporarily.

The house was built to the side, and there was only one adjacent room on the left and right, which was Gu Mohuai's yard.

Ah Huai was also doing well.Aunt Wang at the west end of the village told her daughter: It's a pity that you don't have a good body. If you are looking for a husband-in-law, you have to be a young man surnamed Lu.

All these words were said behind his back, Gu Mohuai didn't know anything about it, he only knew that the proud little prince seemed to have really settled down in the village.

"A Ning, A Ning." Lu Zhongshu caught up behind him and grabbed his pannier: "Give it to me, I'm exhausted."

Gu Mohuai ignored him, and led Zhaodi forward alone.

Last time he was suffering from a cold illness, Lu Zhongshu was worried, he stayed by the couch and refused to leave no matter what, Gu Mohuai was sick and weak, and the threat was also weak, finally he was forced to rush, so he simply grabbed the medicine bowl and threw it at him go.

Lu Zhongshu dodged and dodged, and looked at the couch again, the man leaned against the head of the bed with his eyes closed, and he was so angry that he fainted.

He was so terrified that he had no master, and when he woke up, he immediately knelt down and swore to the sky that he would obey Gu Mohuai's orders in the future and never disobey him.

Gu Mohuai said: "The villain just begs the little prince to let me go. I said goodbye at the beginning, and now I don't want to be entangled again."

Xu Shi had been hit one after another these days, but when he heard this, Lu Zhongshu was able to immediately hide the pain on his face, and answered him in a muffled voice: "Only this, I... can't promise."

Thinking of this, Gu Mohuai felt even more depressed, and his pace became faster and faster, and he just hurried on his way.

Zhaodi is small, it is quite difficult to keep up with him, she trotted for a distance, gasping for breath: "Ah, brother Ahuai, slow down, I, I, I can't keep up."

Gu Mohuai paused, so he had no choice but to slow down again, letting the footsteps behind him follow him like a shadow.

Zhaodi turned her head back, but saw Lu Zhongshu standing behind them, meeting her eyes with a smile on his face.

She made the man smile hotly, turned his eyes to Gu Mohuai and said, "Brother Ah Huai."

Gu Mohuai looked at her.

"That brother, he clearly admitted the wrong person, why did he still call you Ah Ning?"

"Maybe the eyes are broken."

Zhaodi thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I know, it must be that Ah Ning and Brother Ah Huai are very similar, so people can't tell them apart."

"It's not like." Gu Mohuai sneered: "There is no similarity at all."

The sound behind him suddenly intensified, as if he tripped the pit and staggered.

Sure enough, when Gu Mohuai walked into the yard in the evening, he saw Lu Zhongshu standing outside the yard looking into his head, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to knock on the door.

Gu Mohuai just pretended not to see it, turned around and fetched a bench from the side, and fetched water to wash the vegetables.

He had an old injury on his right arm, and the wooden ladle began to tremble after holding it for a long time. Every time he splashed water, half of it would always fall to his feet.

After washing a handful of dishes for a long time, the man outside finally couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the door to enter.

"Ah Ning, don't do these rough jobs." Lu Zhongshu knelt down and said, "Go inside and rest, I, I brought some servants with me on this trip..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Gu Mohuai put down the water ladle, picked up the vegetables and went to the kitchen.

Lu Zhongshu put aside his face and followed, paused, and said, "Ah Ning, are you unwilling to talk to me anymore?"

Gu Mohuai was cutting the vegetables without raising his head: "The villain dare not."

"... Between you and me, does it have to be like this? Ah Ning, you know what I think of you, so why bother—"

"What the little prince thinks of me, the villain is naturally very clear." Gu Mohuai said: "The little prince is respectful, and the villain is humble, isn't it?"

After all, she raised her eyes and smiled at him.

These words were said by Lu Zhongshu when he was reprimanded by his subordinates, but now he returned them intact, and he really shot himself in the foot.

Lu Zhongshu was able to speak eloquently since he was a child, but now he opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't speak a single word.

After murmuring for a long time, I finally choked out a sentence: "It was all my fault at the beginning..."

Gu Mohuai sneered and went to cook by himself.

Putting the green vegetables with water droplets into the pot, hot oil splashed out immediately, his heart was far less calm than his face, and he couldn't dodge for a while, causing the hot oil to fall on the back of his hand, and it immediately started to burn.

A hand came out from the slanting stab, and snatched the wooden shovel from his hand.

"What are you doing!" Gu Mohuai's eyes were full of vigilance, and there was still a little tear at the end of his eyes, "Give it to me."

Lu Zhongshu didn't answer, but pushed him away, and stood by the stove to stir fry.

Since he was a child, he was well-clothed and well-fed, and he had never been in the kitchen. At this time, he had to imitate the posture of the cook in his memory. The oil splashed everywhere but he didn't know how to dodge it. After a short time, his hands and face were burned with patches of redness and swelling. .

Gu Mohuai stared at the side for a moment, then turned around and walked out.

After waiting until Lu Zhongshu managed to get the food out of the pot, he found out that the door of the Gu family's house was closed tightly, and someone locked it from the inside.

"A Ning, you open the door."

There was silence behind the door, and no one answered.

"...the food is on the stove, I... I have tasted it, and the taste is not bad, you will just let it go, tomorrow I will send the servant and the cook to come, so you don't have to work any longer."

The door opened in response, Gu Mohuai still did not look at him, only said: "No need."

After saying that, he passed by and took the food from the kitchen.

Lu Zhongshu was overjoyed, and said in surprise: "A Ning, you, would you..."

He originally wanted to say, you are willing to come out to eat, I am not doing very well, but I can still eat it, in time, I will definitely cook a table full of Chinese people.

But Gu Mohuai didn't give him a chance to speak, and the food was still steaming, so he took it out with bowls and dumped all of it into the pickling ground next to the house.

☆, beginning

"You are the person in the little prince's room."

Lu Mengping frowned, his determination to kill on the battlefield faded away, "Was that person last night you?"

In fact, there is no need to ask any more, there are bruises all over Chu Yuning's body, and a half-drapped inner garment, which was also put on in a panic just now.

The turbid liquid slowly flowed down the heels of her legs, Chu Yuning knelt down in front of the couch, pulled her hem indiscriminately, and managed to barely cover it.

Looking at the mess in the room, Lu Mengping felt irritable—Lu Zhongshu had always been at odds with him, but this time he made a successful triumphant return, Lu Zhongshu seldom recalled the brotherhood, and invited him to the east chamber for dinner. Drink with brother.

Unexpectedly, the wine was drunk on the next person's bed.

And at his feet, the young servant still couldn't kneel down, his figure shivering.

"...You know this, I know it, you should be clear about it." Lu Mengping said in a deep voice, "Pack up your things, and I'll send someone to take you out of the house at noon."

Chu Yuning was shocked, "Eldest, Eldest Young Master..."

"Silver is indispensable to you, you just need to take care of your tongue."

"I will keep my mouth shut, I beg, I beg the eldest son..." Chu Yuning hurriedly kowtowed, "I am bold, I beg the eldest son to allow the slave to stay in the East Chamber."

"..." Lu Mengping's face darkened, and he was already very displeased, "Are you bold? Who gave you the courage?"

Chu Yuning didn't dare to say anything, she just lowered her head and said, "I beg the eldest son for permission."

"This matter has been decided, someone will send you out of the house at noon."

"Eldest son—"

"Eldest son!"

Gu Mohuai woke up suddenly, and felt cold sweat dripping down his body.

No wonder it was so cold in the dream.

The sky was dark, the shadows of the trees outside the window were mottled, and there was no sound.

Gu Mohuai hadn't recovered yet, he was just sitting there, his eyes were black and blue.

Since the man came to the village, he has been haunted by nightmares and cannot sleep peacefully.

The past and the old man fall into the dream together, reminding him at all times, don't forget the sins he has done.

Gu Mo smiled sadly - how dare he forget.

Everyone in Yanglou Village said that he had a rough life experience and a fateful life.

Only he himself knew that this was the retribution he deserved, Chu Yuning.

He nearly killed two people, and the heavens punished him. Even if he changed his name and lived in seclusion, he would not be able to escape.

Perhaps he should pack up his burden obediently back then, leave the palace according to the eldest son's arrangement, and have nothing to do with the Lu family ever since.

Gu Mohuai bowed his head silently, and slowly stroked his lower abdomen with one hand.

It's better than guarding a "child" who never existed from the beginning to the end, and being played by the sweetheart.

"Little prince, eldest son."

The imperial physician bowed to the two, "The one in the middle is indeed pregnant."

"What?!" Lu Zhongshu lost his voice: "My lord, this lord clearly sent Luo Zitang, how could I be pregnant?"

"People with Eryi are both yin and yang in their lives, and their constitutions are different from women's. Ordinary prescriptions for reducing pregnancy may not be effective." The imperial doctor said: "The lower officials have repeatedly diagnosed and checked. This person's three pulses should be smooth and smooth, and they are indeed slippery pulses. undoubtedly."

Lu Mengping said: "Emperor Dong just said that ordinary prescriptions don't work, so can they work?"

"This……"

The imperial physician lightly twisted his beards, and lowered his eyes without answering.

Lu Mengping said: "But there are some taboos?"

"There is no taboo, it's just..."

"I heard that Eryi's pregnancy is against the heavens. If you want to force a child, you will end up with a dead body and two lives." Lu Zhongshu looked into the room with a look of unbearable expression on his face, "Brother, after a long time in the battlefield, it is inevitable. Killing, outside of the battlefield, why bother to create killing karma again.

"After all, this son is of my Lu family's blood. Why don't you send someone to take care of him, and choose a good day and auspicious day to take Chu Yuning as his concubine."

Lu Zhongshu thought for a while, clapped his palms and smiled, "If I remember correctly, sister-in-law and Ah Ning have similar months. After October, wouldn't it be double happiness? Congratulations to brother first."

"Don't bring this up again."

Lu Mengping said: "Come on, Yunzhi is in such a dangerous situation, I should do good deeds to keep him safe—Physician Dong."

"The subordinate is here."

"Thank you, doctor, for today's matter, you must..."

"It's easy for me to be a lower official, please be at ease, Eldest Young Master."

Lu Mengping nodded, and sent someone to send Imperial Physician Dong out of the house.

"Brother, Ah Ning..."

"I have a private house in the east of the city." Lu Mengping stepped back and went straight into the room.

When Chu Yuning saw someone, she hurriedly wanted to bow, and asked him to block it with one hand.

"Just rest on the couch." He said, "Leave the house with Wenying tomorrow."

Chu Yu said anxiously: "Young master, I—"

"What about you?" Lu Zhongshu stopped him and said leisurely: "You are two months pregnant, and the Eldest Young Master has granted you permission to go out of the house to have a baby, why don't you thank me?"

As soon as a word came out, it was like a thunderbolt, and Chu Yuning stood on the spot in a daze.

Two months pregnant - isn't it the seed left over from that chaos.

He didn't care about etiquette, and looked at Lu Zhongshu in panic, "Little... little prince..."

However, his little prince laughed teasingly, and said calmly and calmly: "Could it be that elder brother has a lot of prestige, why is there such a happy event that scares people."

Lu Mengping didn't hesitate, snorted coldly for a while, and walked away.

Lu Zhongshu succeeds in his plan, and he is secretly happy, seeing that the person has left the East Chamber, he finally throws off his disguise, and burst into laughter.

"Little prince..." Chu Yuning waited for him to smile, then Fang whispered: "Slave, slave..."

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He was pregnant, but it was not what he wanted. The child came suddenly and strangely, which made him flustered.

Lu Zhongshu was tired of laughing, and finally noticed Chu Yuning, slowly suppressed his smile, bent down to help him up, "Ah Ning, your body is important now, get up and sit up."

"The little prince can't do it." Chu Yuning was flattered.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Lu Zhongshu said: "My eldest brother has always done things safely. If he wants you to go out of the house to have a baby, he must have already managed it from top to bottom. There will be no troubles. You can go and live with peace of mind."

"But..." Chu Yuning lowered her head, her eyes fell on her belly that had not yet bulged, "But... child, child..."

Do you really want to keep this child?

"Son, you don't have to worry." Lu Zhongshu leaned down and looked at him deeply, with a look of affection in his eyes: "I said I will protect you well, so I won't break my promise."

"..."

"When you go there, whenever you meet the eldest son, try to keep him. As for what to do, I don't need to say."

"Young Lord, you want to be a slave, and you, the Eldest Young Master... serve your bed?!"

"When did this king say that?" Lu Zhongshu raised his hand to take the amputated waist and hooked it into his arms, "You know what to do."

He put his ear on it, and his breath hit the tip of Chu Yuning's ear, covered with hot wetness, "Ah Ning, let's get over this, I will personally take you back to the mansion, and from now on you and I will sleep together in the east chamber, and we will never sleep again." separation."

Never separate again.

Gu Mo hugged the front of his chest, and the sleepiness finally faded away.

The side of the candlestick was mottled with wax and tears, so he picked up the scissors and picked out the two lantern flowers on the top.

The moonlight enters the house, accompanied by a wisp of autumn wind, which really responds to the phrase "clothes feel dew".

Gu Mohuai sighed in his heart - he had enough money to give him sincerely, how could that person be so contemptuous.

Now the bed is still there, but I suffer from nightmares every night.

As for the wedding, it should be determined not to fall into a dream.

☆, Shanshan

Seeing that it was autumn and the rain was getting more and more, Gu Mohuai split bamboo strips to make a bamboo hat, and carried it to the morning market.

"Ah Huai, it's so early." Uncle Yang just lined up the newly caught fish, and greeted with a smile: "Come here, the freshly baked hair cake is still hot, take it to eat."

Gu Mohuai waved his hand and said, "I've eaten, sir."

"Eat some more, I think you have lost a lot of weight." Uncle Yang couldn't help but stuff the cake into his arms.

"No need to—"

"Okay, you give me a grasshopper, I'll go back and coax my grandson."

Gu Mohuai had no choice but to accept the cake, and went back to the stall to get grasshoppers.

"A Ning."

That annoying voice suddenly sounded, Gu Mo Huaiquan had never heard of it, and he buried his head in his choice.

Lu Zhongshu stood for a while, but when he didn't see any response from him, he slowly squatted down and stammered, "Ah Ning, you, how did you sell this Ruo Li?"

Gu Mohuai replied without raising his head, "I don't sell it."

"You don't sell...?" Lu Zhongshu said with a dry smile, "If you don't sell it, why did you bring it to the collection? Ah Ning, I sincerely want to buy it, not to play tricks on you..."

"Of course things are brought here to be sold." Gu Mohuai said, "I don't want to sell them to you."

Lu Zhongshu's expression froze, and he said in a low voice for a long while: "A Ning, it's so cold, you, me, I'll buy these, you go back quickly...you wear so little, I see... always Distressed."

"What is the virtue and ability of a villain."

Lu Zhongshu couldn't bear it anymore, and said sharply, "Ah Ning!"

Gu Mohuai trembled all over, and all the grasshoppers he was holding dropped from his hands and fell to the ground one after another.

He raised his head suddenly, his gaze fell directly into Lu Zhongshu's eyes.

Those eyes were full of resentment, but they didn't hide it at all, like a basin of water mixed with ice slag, pouring it on Lu Zhongshu's pocket.

Anger was about to emerge, and it was completely extinguished.

"... Ah Ning, Ah Ning." Lu Zhongshu hurriedly said, "I'm not trying to take you out on fire, I, I'm angry at myself, Ah Ning."

With a hard throat, he stumbled and said: "I really don't want to, Ah Ning, I have always regarded you as, love, lover, how... how can I bear it, seeing you like this - self-contempt...self-deprecating...I... ... Ah Ning, I was wrong, you... If you are angry, I will leave immediately, in the future, in the future..."

He wanted to say, if you don't want to, I won't bother you in the future.But the words came to his lips, but he couldn't get them out.

——He is unwilling.

After Chu Yuning fled, even though Lu Zhongshu wanted to go out of the capital to look for someone, who would have asked someone to stop him at the gate of the palace.

The one who stopped him was none other than his biological father, the current Prince Lu Hanzhang.

Although Lu Mengping was born as a concubine, he was the eldest son of the palace. The birth of his eldest grandson should have been a happy event, but he almost killed someone. Such a big commotion finally alarmed the old prince.

Lu Hanzhang was furious when he learned about the instigator. He has always loved Lu Zhongshu, but it doesn't mean that Lu Zhongshu can take advantage of his favor to commit murder and act recklessly. Now that brothers are fighting each other, if outsiders find out, it will be like slapping him in the face of a dignified prince!

"If you are for that servant, then you don't have to go." Lu Hanzhang said coldly, "I have already sent someone to escort him out of Beijing. Even if you are driving with four horses, it will be difficult for you to catch up."

Lu Zhongshu was shocked when he heard the words, opened his eyes wide and said, "Father!"

"What can you say?"

"I, my father, my father knows that he has my child in his womb, and the grandson of the palace!"

"If it wasn't for this child, he would be so cold right now!" Lu Hanzhang yelled angrily, and reprimanded him sharply: "A mere servant almost killed two of my Lu family! You are really a monster in the mansion This king doesn’t know about it?! Get lost and kneel in the ancestral hall! Let your ancestors take a good look, what a good young man has come out of my Lu family!”

……

"The child is the grandson of my Lu family. This king will send someone to bring him back to the palace. The Minister of the Household Department has mentioned to me several times that you are about the same age as his eldest daughter. After five days, this king will ask the emperor to marry you. "

……

Since then, Lu Zhongshu has been restrained in the palace, and Lu Hanzhang is merciless in punishing his youngest son with thunderous methods. For more than five years, he has not gotten any news about Chu Yuning, and he has sent spies one after another. Like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no news.

The longing is like stitches and stitches, looking for opportunities to take root.

The huge east chamber is full of Chu Yuning's shadow. Lu Zhongshu wanders in the east chamber every day, sees him in the grass and trees in the courtyard, and in the painting and calligraphy in the room. When he falls asleep alone at night, he often sees him in his dreams.

It wasn't until this moment that Lu Zhongshu understood what Chu Yuning meant.

It's not his servant, nor is it a "mere servant".

This person has quietly entered his heart.

☆, phase mouse

Gu Mohuai saw that he was still unwilling to finish his words, so he understood, but calmly said: "The old prince once told me that there is no king in the world. The slaves escaped from him."

When Lu Zhongshu heard the first sentence, his intuition was not good, and he hurriedly said: "I, I asked someone to inquire. At the beginning, the people of the father and the king settled you down, and then took orders to return to the house. Otherwise, you would move here with the slaves later. , how can it be smooth and unimpeded."

"Yes, it's smooth and unimpeded." Gu Mohuai's face was pale, and his fingers were shaking, "Smooth and unimpeded..."

"... Ah Ning, you..." Lu Zhongshu stretched out his hand to comfort him, but fearing that he would be disgusted, he could only worry, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Mohuai didn't respond, so he closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

He only hated himself for having delusional thoughts at that time, thinking that he could escape from the Prince's hand.

The residence was set up by the old prince, he saw that the man was walking neatly, how could he have thought that the old prince had already placed eyeliner around him.

His slave was congenitally weak and sickly, but he was the most well-behaved, he couldn't stop laughing, waving his little hands and feet, like a cat, adoring people.

It was his fault that caused Jinu to catch a cold before the full moon. He went to the medical center to prescribe a prescription, went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, and immediately fried it for Jinu to feed. The condition worsened day by day, and finally the medicine was ineffective.

At that time, he was in the pain of losing his son, and he was in a daze all day long, wishing he could go with the slave.Now that I think about it, it is clear that someone has tampered with the prescription, and he has no medical knowledge, so he never discovered it.

The old prince is indeed the old prince, he is like an ant, how can he fight.

Gu Mohuai was silent for a long time, then asked in a hoarse voice: "What does the little prince want to buy?"

The desolation in his eyes did not fade away, and Lu Zhongshu was secretly shocked when he saw it, "A Ning, what happened, you..."

"If the little prince doesn't want to buy it, then go and stay elsewhere, don't delay my business."

"Buy! I'll buy." Lu Zhongshu said anxiously.

Gu Mohuai looked at him seriously.

"...I'll buy this, this..." Lu Zhongshu randomly selected a few, but felt that it wasn't enough, so he simply took out an ingot of silver and put it in front of his eyes, waving his hand, "How much do you have, just sell it to me."

"Okay." Gu Mohuai was used to him acting indiscriminately, so he was not surprised at all, took the money and got up and walked towards the village.

Lu Zhongshu stared at his back in a daze, and after a while he came back to his senses, and strode after him, "A Ning, where are you going?"

"go home."

Come back home?

He looked back at the stall behind him, and said nervously, "Your things..."

"The little prince took out the silver, and those are not mine."

"And that basket—"

"Sell them together." Gu Mohuai finally gave him a sideways glance when he arrived outside the courtyard, "Why don't you go back and tidy up the little prince, carefully ask someone to take it away."

After finishing speaking, he entered the courtyard, turned around and bolted the door.

Yang Lou's family does not close their doors at night, does not repair the courtyard walls, only hedges, and people standing outside the courtyard can have a panoramic view of the scenery inside the courtyard.

Gu Mohuai fetched a bamboo strip from a corner - there was no ready-made bamboo basket at home, he had to make a new one - he couldn't help but be thankful that he left the latch just in case.

This door is just like a decoration, and it can block it for a while. If Lu Zhongshu really breaks in, he can drive people down the mountain logically.

As he thought so, he bowed his head and began to weave the bamboo strips.

The man outside the courtyard stood for a moment, but turned and left.

Gu Mohuai paused for a moment, but restrained himself from raising his head.

Sure enough, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.The man surnamed Lu was used to acting recklessly, and he always looked at people under his nose, so how could he suffer such grievances.

It's only been less than two months, so he's going back home?

With Jinu around him, he was fascinated by it, and the palace was afraid that another little prince would come out.

Forget it, his Lu family is an orthodox prince, so he is afraid that he will not be able to support a spoiled young master. According to the old prince, he will not make Jinu feel wronged.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard three "knock knocks" from behind the door.

"Who?"

"Ah Ning." Lu Zhongshu's voice came into his ears through the door: "It's me."

Gu Mohuai's face turned cold, and he looked away and continued to weave his bamboo basket.

It has become a habit for Lu Zhongshu to hit a wall, so he came to the outside of the fence when he saw this, and raised his hand towards him: "Ah Ning, don't make it up, I brought the basket for you."

Gu Mohuai kept silent, took the knife and scraped off the burrs on the bamboo strips little by little.

It has been rainy recently, and the old injury on his arm has recurred, and the dull pain is hard to get rid of. At this moment, holding the sharp knife in his hand, he is still trembling lightly, which made Lu Zhongshu terrified.

"Put down the knife, you'll hurt yourself carefully." Lu Zhongshu said, "If you don't answer, I'll throw the basket in..."

"Take it away!" Gu Mohuai said angrily: "This basket was bought by the little prince, bought it! It's fine if you don't do human affairs, and you can't understand human words?!"

"puff……"

Seeing him clenching his fists to his lips, with a clear smile in his eyes, Gu Mohuai became even more annoyed: "What are you laughing at!"

Lu Zhongshu hurriedly held back his laughter, and denied it categorically: "I didn't!"

"You think I'm blind? You obviously—" Gu Mohuai's eyes turned red with anger, "You obviously..."

"I...cough, it's my fault, I shouldn't laugh." Seeing that he was out of breath, Lu Zhongshu simply put down the basket, clasped his hands together and said, "It's my fault, Ah Ning, don't get angry, okay?"

With his appearance, he was not half as angry after being insulted, he was so angry that he couldn't speak a word.

Lu Zhongshu said honestly: "It's just that it's the first time I see Ah Ning slandering others... No, it's from my heart... Hehe, I like it."

"..."

Gu Mohuai's face turned red and white, and finally he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed the strip and walked into the room, closing the door firmly.

The author has something to say: Make up for yesterday

☆, stock palm

Gu Mohuai has been very irritable recently. Lu Zhongshu didn't know what kind of lies he told the village chief, so that the village chief believed in the non-existent husband and wife relationship between the two of them. Normally, whenever he was free, he would come to the door in person to treat Gu Mohuai. Mo Huai understands with reason and moves with emotion.

"...you are young, so it is inevitable that you will be more temperamental." The village chief has passed the year of knowing his destiny, and he has been serious all day long, but now he said kindly: "Mr. Lu has been in Yanglou for several months, how do you treat you, the villagers It is obvious to all, if there is any misunderstanding between the two of you, let's talk it over as soon as possible, and you both go back home, there is no overnight hatred between husband and wife."

Gu Mohuai said: "Village Chief, Lu Zhongshu and I are not husband and wife..."

"Look, look." The village chief sighed, "The authorities are delusional."

"..." Gu Mohuai was speechless, and simply smiled at him, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Hey, you, don't go overboard." The village chief knew that this time he returned in vain, so he pointed to the bamboo basket and said, "Your right hand is inconvenient, so Aqingte packed an extra serving of food, remember eat."

Gu Mohuai said: "Please thank Sister Ah Qing for me."

"Okay, okay." The village head got up and went out of the house: "It's cloudy today, I'm afraid it's going to rain, you go back to the house."

"No problem."

There was no wind outside, and the air seemed to be frozen, weighing heavily on people's heads.

Gu Mohuai stood outside the courtyard until he couldn't see the village head's back, then went back to the room rubbing his arms.

There were three stir-fried vegetables and two white steamed buns in the bamboo basket, he took the bamboo chopsticks, ate two mouthfuls on the plate, and couldn't help frowning.

The three dishes were either salty or bland, and the taste was somewhat strange.

Ah Qing is the village chief's daughter-in-law, Hui Zhi Lan Xin is well-known in the village, why did the dishes cooked today...

Gu Mohuai put a chopstick of potato shreds into his mouth, before chewing twice, he threw up hastily.

——It was raw.

He looked at the dishes on the plate, which had the same taste and taste, and his brows gradually frowned.

On the other side, Lu Zhongshu was fidgeting in the main room of the village chief's house. When he saw someone from a distance, he rushed out to greet him: "Village chief, is he ready for lunch?"

"Master Lu, don't worry, I have handed it over to him personally."

"That's good," Lu Zhongshu murmured, "...that's good."

There were dark clouds outside the house, and dull thunder could be heard faintly in the distance.

Lu Zhongshu came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, the village chief, I... this junior will go back first, and I will visit the door to disturb you at another time."

The village chief waved his hands again and again: "Ah, it's okay, the sky is gloomy, Mr. Lu, why don't you take a rest in the humble house."

"Don't bother." Lu Zhongshu said: "This junior will leave now."

He didn't dare to go with the village chief just now, for fear of offending Gu Mohuai, but now that he knew that the bamboo basket had been delivered, he couldn't help but want to take a look to see the results of his hard practice for many days. Still likes.

The healing wound was itchy, he pressed it through his sleeve, and his feet became more and more eager.

The dishes were not good, but fortunately the steamed buns were cooked, Gu Mohuai tore off half of the steamed buns and ate them, and took the rest to the stove for tomorrow's breakfast.

The dishes had been washed and neatly stacked in the basket. He looked out of the window, and the sound of bean-sized raindrops hitting the eaves was disturbing.

For half of his life, he has always been inseparable from rainy days.

It was a rainy day when he left the palace. Later, when the slave was born, the wind and rain blew up outside. He was in pain for two days and one night on the couch. Finally, after a thunderstorm, he heard the weak cry of the child.

Sitting in front of the table, Gu Mohuai saw the small coffin again in a daze. His child was lying in it, his cheeks were still bloodshot, but he never laughed or cried again.

No wonder it is said that "a tiger father has no dogs". Back then, Lu Zhongshu could fool him around with a pair of "anti-fetal medicine".

It's really amazing that they are in harmony with the palace.

☆, illusory

"Oh!"

Chu Yuning was startled, and raised the curtain to follow the sound.

The door was slapped open, and Lu Mengping stepped in furiously with a face full of anger.

He hurriedly got down to the ground, knelt down on his knees and said, "Slave please be safe..."

"Stop pretending here!" Lu Mengping stared at him closely, and shouted at the servants who followed behind him: "Everyone back down!"

"...Elder, eldest son..."

"roll!"

Lu Mengping was so furious all the way, the servants didn't dare to say anything, and retreated silently.

Chu Yuning knelt on the ground, trembling all over her body, and within a moment, her back was wet with cold sweat.

The eldest son finally knew.He was full of fear: It's just this child, what should this child do...

Lu Mengping paced back and forth. He led soldiers to fight, but he never touched women, children, old and young. Liang Yizi had a special constitution, so he should be treated as a woman.

Ke Yunzhi's current emaciation and weakness are inseparable from him, Lu Zhongshu, and the person in front of him!Especially this Chu Yuning, who is deceptively gentle on the surface, turned his back and played him like a monkey——

The anger in his chest intensified, Lu Mengping raised his foot, and kicked hard on the shoulder of the person in front of him.

Chu Yuning was caught off guard, her back slammed into the foot of the stool, and she fell to the ground together with the low stool.

With all his strength on this kick, he didn't dare to cry out in pain, nor dared to curl up into a ball, so he managed to catch his breath and knelt down in front of Lu Mengping again.

"You're really hiding something."

Lu Mengping looked at him condescendingly, and said with a sneer, "I wonder why this child was born so slowly. It should be obvious that she was pregnant long ago, but there was no movement at all."

Chu Yuning was stunned, and said: "Back to the eldest son, he is probably small and grows slowly..."

"I still have to pretend? The belly is empty, but she played the role of a pregnant woman so vividly..." Lu Mengping laughed, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table, making people tremble in fright: "Chu Yuning, you are so amazing! "

Chu Yuning was dumbfounded when she heard that, and hurriedly explained: "Back to the eldest son, I have never lied to the eldest son, from the beginning to the end, there was absolutely no—"

"Shut up!" Lu Mengping interrupted impatiently: "Physician Hong, come in."

"Yes."

Physician Hong came in after hearing the sound, and bowed to him: "Young master."

"No, please show this person." Lu Mengping looked at Chu Yuning, his eyes fell on his lower abdomen, moving back and forth like a sharp knife, "Look at what is in his belly."

The imperial physician didn't talk much, so he took Chu Yuning's hand and placed it on the low stool.

Chu Yuning had no intention of resisting, but stared blankly at her wrist.

"My lord." Hong Tai doctor bowed again, "I look at the pulse condition, it seems to be slippery at the beginning, but the middle pulse is short and astringent, it should refer to vacuity and looseness, it is not a sign of pregnancy, it seems to be..."

"What is it, the imperial doctor, but it's okay to say."

Physician Hong said: "It seems to be taking the hair-promoting prescription. Taking the hair-promoting prescription makes people falsely pregnant, but..."

But this prescription is bitter and cold in nature, and it is very detrimental to the body.

On this side, Chu Yuning was still kneeling on the ground, already bewildered.

The imperial doctor in front of him, he felt the pulse for himself, and said that he "doesn't appear to be pregnant".

But he clearly felt that there was a child lying in his womb—how could his body be fake?

There was a throbbing pain in the lower abdomen, which brought back a trace of consciousness.

Physician Hong had completed his task and was about to go back to the palace when he heard a hoarse voice behind him: "Mister...Mister!"

Lu Mengping said displeasedly: "You—"

"Sir, you, please show me again."

Chu Yuning staggered and rushed over, grabbed Doctor Hong's coat indiscriminately, and said incoherently: "Mr. must have made a wrong diagnosis, really...he is really here, there is no lie, no lie! Sir—— Young Master! Eldest Young Master, I beg you, I beg you to be bold, I beg you to show me again, Young Master, thank you Young Master, thank you Young Master..."

As he spoke, he knelt down again, and kowtowed desperately to the two of them, with a mournful tone: "I kneel to thank the eldest son, kneel to thank Mr...."

His mind was at a loss, and he didn't really know what he was asking for. He only knew that this child was not only a child—it was what he had been thinking about for several months.

Lu Mengping frowned, and after a long while, he nodded to Imperial Physician Hong.

Physician Hong then helped him up, and pinched him again to examine his three pulses carefully.

After about half a stick of incense, he stood up and said to Lu Mengping, "The midvein is short and astringent, it is definitely not pregnant."

Chu Yuning knelt in the same place, his forehead was red and swollen, but there was a loud bang in his ears, which made his eyes turn black.

But it's not like that.

Weidao Lu Zhongshu came to the door late at night two months ago, his actions were so eager and without any scruples.

But it turned out that there was no need for scruples.

Chu Yuning smiled hastily, and burst into tears.

☆, Meng Lang

An autumn rain, from cold dew to frost, fell intermittently for more than ten days.

Lu Zhongshu got up early as usual this day, cooked breakfast, and carefully sent it outside Gu Mohuai's courtyard, but no one paid any attention to his calls.

It was raining outside, he couldn't put the food box on the ground as usual, so he had to call him from across the yard.

A question came from behind: "Hey, Mr. Lu?"

He turned his head and saw Zhao Di Niang holding an umbrella in one hand, and said, "Are you looking for A Huai?"

Lu Zhongshu nodded, "I prepared breakfast, but he...he didn't answer the door no matter what."

"Ah, this day, A Huai appointed not to be here." Di Niang Zhao waved her hand, pointing towards the back mountain, "Probably went to see the child, Mr. Lu, why don't you go over there to find him."

"child……?"

"Mr. Lu doesn't know." Zhao Di Niang explained in a low voice: "When Ah Huai first came to Yanglou, she held a child in her arms, but the child was already seriously ill, so she didn't keep it. Today...for four years .”

She recalled Gu Mohuai's shattered state back then, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Young Master Lu, Ah Huai... his life is really hard."

Bypassing the banyan tree at the end of the village, you can see the back mountain.

The rain was getting thinner, and the yellow leaves on the roadside were sloppyly knocked down, and the fallen trees were rustling down, meandering on the stone slabs.

Lu Zhongshu put away his umbrella, pushed aside a clump of branches in front of him, and saw a small dirt bag in the distance.

Gu Mohuai sat beside the grave with his back turned to him, his thin back slightly curved, and a pile of newly made toys beside him.

Lu Zhongshu approached quietly, and only then did he see that there were many small things scattered beside the tomb. Because of the age, the green had faded, showing a dry and yellowish color.

He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, his feet were messed up, and he broke a dead branch.

Gu Mohuai turned around abruptly, and said vigilantly, "Who?!"

Lu Zhongshu took a step back, smiled at him and said, "It's me."

"..."

Gu Mohuai supported the ground with his left hand, slowly stood up straight, and said in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?"

"I'll bring you breakfast, you...don't come in." Lu Zhongshu stumbled and said, "Later, I met Mrs. Yang, she...she told me to come here to find you."

Gu Mohuai said: "I said before, even if I'm at home, I won't answer you."

"I remember, I remember..." Lu Zhongshu hesitated for a while, then said softly, "You shouldn't...I, I will wait too."

Gu Mohuai didn't answer, collected the straw weaving all over the ground, and walked around him to the village.

Lu Zhongshu came back to his senses, and quickly opened his umbrella to follow.

The drizzle was continuous and wet half of his body, but he didn't seem to notice it, and just raised the umbrella to the top of Gu Mohuai's head.

Gu Mohuai heard the footsteps behind him like a shadow, and became more anxious in his heart, thinking about getting rid of him.

Unexpectedly, the stone slabs in the mountain were wet and slippery, he accidentally stepped on a layer of fallen leaves, stumbled, and was about to fall down along the mountain road——

"A Ning!"

At the critical moment, Lu Zhongshu hastily stretched out his hand to hook his waist, and held him firmly in his arms.

"A Ning, A Ning."

He didn't care to avoid it, he rubbed Gu Mohuai's body in a hurry, and said nervously: "How are you? Are you injured anywhere? Ah?"

Gu Mohuai closed his eyes tightly, let out a breath slowly, and shook his head with a pale face, "...Thank you, little prince."

After saying that, he stood up straight from his arms, intending to take a step back and salute.

As soon as Clinker's left foot touched the ground, he felt a piercing pain.

His face became paler and he took a deep breath.

Lu Zhongshu's whole heart was tied to him, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he quickly squatted down to check.

Sure enough, the ankle was slightly swollen through a layer of cloth socks, apparently swollen.

With a sharp pain in his heart, he got up to support Gu Mohuai and said, "I'll carry you back."

"No need."

"Your foot is injured, I will carry you to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment."

"No need."

"A Ning..."

"I will go by myself." Gu Mohuai lowered his head and did not look at him, "Don't bother the little prince."

After finishing speaking, he reluctantly turned around and walked slowly while supporting the bushes beside the road.

The weight of his whole body was hanging on his right foot, and his whole body was on the verge of falling, which made people tremble with fear.

Lu Zhongshu sighed inwardly, walked around in front of him, bowed and said, "Come up."

Gu Mohuai kept his mouth shut and tried his best to avoid him, but the mountain road was so narrow that he blocked it tightly.

"...Young master, please hold your ground high."

"Ah Ning, don't be impatient." Lu Zhongshu said seriously, "I'll just carry you to the doctor's place, and I won't do anything else."

Gu Mohuai pursed his lips tightly and didn't look at him.

"..."

His attitude was firm, and Lu Zhongshu had no choice but to sigh softly: "Don't bother me."

After saying that, he turned around and wrapped his arms around his waist and hips firmly.
