Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 190 Xiuyuan's Life Experience
Chapter 190 Xiuyuan's Life Experience
He Lianyu woke up in the medical hall, opened his eyes, and vaguely saw a pretty figure sitting in front of the couch.
Although it was blurry, he naturally overlapped that face with someone deep in his memory.
"Miss Xu?"
Unconsciously shout out.
The person in front of the bed visibly froze, "Who is Miss Xu?"
That's right, this person is not Xu Han, but He Lianyu's fiancée Yun Xueyao. The medical clinic here is close to Dongyang Hou's Mansion. After she heard that He Lianyu was injured, she managed to come out of the mansion to visit secretly. He, after taking care of him for half a day, the first thing he said when he woke up was calling for another woman?
Although He Lianyu personally agreed to marry her when her reputation was at its worst, and although she should be grateful for it, when a woman's jealousy comes up, it is completely unreasonable, especially when she thinks of the affectionate voice "Miss Xu", Yun Xueyao almost gnawed her silver teeth into pieces, and the flames of jealousy burned all her rationality.
"Is it Xu Han who the lord said?" That bitch has moved out of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion for so long, does he still dare to seduce His Highness the Xian Wang in private?If I had known earlier, I should have found a chance to kill her when she was still in Dongyang Hou Mansion!
He Lianyu woke up completely, and recognized his current position clearly, rubbing his forehead, his tone was slightly cold, "Why are you here?"
Seeing his displeasure, Yun Xueyao was shocked, after all she was a little scared, "I heard that the prince was injured and sent to this clinic, so I came here to see you."
He Lianyu glanced around, and asked again: "Who sent me here?"
Yun Xueyao bit her lower lip, didn't he even know who sent him to the clinic?
I wanted to admit that it was me, but it was different from what I said just now, so I chose not to say anything.
He Lianyu thought about it carefully. He was chased by He Lianxun's men. When he ran to that alley, he was really exhausted. In addition, the wound on his arm was a little inflamed. In the end, he passed out from the pain. He didn't know what happened, but he remembered one thing clearly. During the coma, he smelled the extremely quiet and elegant Guanglingxiang.
I don't know since when, he has been fond of this fragrance, as if it was his favorite in his previous life, every time he smells it, it can make him feel extremely at ease and comfortable.
Sitting up, He Lianyu stretched out her good hand and pulled Yun Xueyao's arm around vigorously. Yun Xueyao staggered and fell into his arms, her heart was beating fast, and a pimple appeared on her cheeks. Hong Yun, just when she was feeling ashamed and happy, and was imagining how to respond to him next, He Lianyu approached her and sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose, as if she was sure that it wasn't his favorite smell, so she frowned fiercely , pushing her away like a wild dog.
"Your Highness..."
The contrast between the front and the back was so fast that Yun Xueyao accepted her incompetence, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at him pitifully.
"Although you and I are engaged, we are still unmarried couples. You should guard against men and women. You should go back. Don't let others find out that you came out to meet this king specially. , will soon be gone.”
This sentence is actually a disguised reminder to Yun Xueyao that when he agreed to marry her, her reputation was already very bad, he had better know how to be obedient, otherwise he might end the engagement at any time because of her notoriety .
Yun Xueyao's face turned pale with fright, but she was still unwilling after all, "But His Highness's injury..."
"Don't bother you."
He Lianyu replied lightly, the displeasure on his brows showed that his patience had reached its limit.Yun Xueyao is not the person he likes, marrying her is a helpless move, but it doesn't matter, when he comes to rule the world, no matter where she goes, the person he likes will never be able to escape from his territory, one day , he will make her the most honorable hostess in this country.
Yun Xueyao stared at He Lianyu in a daze, and in her heart she really wanted to know who the girl Xu he was talking about was, but the current situation was out of her control.
He Lianyu watched Yun Xueyao leave with cold eyes, Xu Han's quiet and beautiful face unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
He would actually call that person's name when he woke up?
Could it be that the person who saved him before was really Xu Han?
He Lianyu clutched his chest, his heart seemed to be beating faster than usual.
Lifting the brocade quilt and getting off the bed, He Lianyu dragged his still somewhat tired body out of the hospital and went straight to the Xianwang Mansion.
-
Since He Lianzhu's funeral, Concubine Xiao's concern for him has been increasing day by day. No, I heard that the injury on his arm has worsened, so I immediately sent someone to bring me some supplements, and then someone sent a message to tell him to take a good rest. There is no rush for government affairs, and when he recovers from his injury, she will naturally go to see the Queen Mother.
She said "meet the queen mother", but she actually told him in disguise that as soon as he recovered, she would try her best to help him regain power one by one from the queen mother.
Isn't this kind of situation what He Lianyu wanted so hard?I was already laughing with satisfaction in my heart, but my face was indifferent, and even frowned, and said to the palace man who came to pass the message: "Go back and tell the mother and concubine that the king is fine, but I will trouble her." I miss it."
The reciprocity of "mother's kindness and son's filial piety" has brought the relationship between the half-way mother and son closer. He Lianjin frowned every time he heard it. He was not worried that He Lianyu would cause some troubles, but mainly because he wanted to facilitate this. The person responsible for the incident was Su Yan, and he felt bad all over, and wanted to find a way to vent.
"Sir, why doesn't he want to help the king?"
In Prince Jin's Mansion, He Lianjin invited his staff and asked with a distressed expression.
Even if you don't help him, it's okay to stand by his side, how can you run to help He Lianyu turn over?Isn't this clearly against him?
The staff paused for a moment, "Perhaps, the Duke of the State has a deep sense of defense against the prince."
"Be on guard?" He Lianjin emphasized the wording. He would not snatch women from Su Yan, and he would not betray his promise. Why should Su Yan be on guard against him?Even if he became the emperor in his previous life, he never had any suspicion or guard against this dead brother, let alone cut off his military power.
So, where did Su Yan's defensiveness come from?
"Can sir understand the meaning?" He Lianjin asked again.
The staff member shook his head, "If it was someone else, I would still be able to figure it out a little bit, but I can't figure out what the Duke said at all." He did it, but in the end he just gave you a surprise that made you hard to guard against. If you want to know his mind, you have to be a roundworm in his stomach.
-
The duke, who had been doubted by others, was digging a wooden spoon at this time.
The pair of small bowls for the baby had been baked and glazed, and he felt that it was not enough, so he found the best black walnut wood and prepared to dig a pair of small wooden spoons to go with it.
To be honest, Yun Chuwei was a little dumbfounded.
When he only existed in other people's mouths, she thought he was just a battlefield god who was good at using soldiers.
Later, she got to know him, and found that this God of War is not only good at using soldiers, but also has a good way of flirting with girls, with a variety of tricks, every time you are surprised and forced to make your heart beat faster.
Later, when she married him, she discovered that besides being good at fighting and teasing people, he was also extremely tough in some aspects. He usually wouldn't give up until he made her dizzy. Fortunately, he was pregnant, and his many scruples made him She "survived the disaster".
Later, later, that is, now, Yun Chuwei felt that he must be dazzled.
The man over there sitting under the rose trellis, holding a file and a carving knife and concentrating on digging a wooden spoon, is he really Su Yan?Also, why does this person learn what to master?
Two days ago, he wanted to burn small bowls, and almost built a kiln in the mansion, but Yun Chuwei firmly resisted him, so he was willing to take out the finished slabs and burn them.
In the past two days, I have to dig a wooden spoon. Before that, I specially invited a woodcarver to teach it. It didn't take long. In just a few hours, I can do it alone.
Yun Chu clicked his tongue inwardly. If this kind of person were to be placed in her world, he would definitely be a typical student god!The unforgiving kind.
"Wei Wei, since you're here, why don't you just sit there?" She obviously had her back facing her, but it seemed that her back had eyes.
Yun Chuwei, who was named, was inexplicably embarrassed, walked over with a small rag and sat down.
"Jiuye." She looked at him, her voice softened a bit, "It's only been a few hours, and you can dig a wooden spoon by yourself?"
After hearing this, Su Yan stopped his movements and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Then, how long does Madam think it should take for my husband to learn?"
At least, it will take three to five days, right?
Dare not to say this, he laughed dryly, "No, no, I mean, you are too good, Ninth Master, you can learn a skill so quickly." It's really wronged you not to be reincarnated in the 21st century.
Su Yan put away the things on the table and greeted her, "Extend your wrist."
Yun Chuwei regained consciousness in an instant, and obediently held out his hand.
He touched her pulse with his fingers for a moment, showing a look in her eyes that should be regarded as barely satisfied, "It's only been on the right track in the past few days, um, yes, keep it up."
Yun Chuwei wanted to cry but had no tears. She had to eat the medicinal diet and meals arranged by him on time every day, and she felt that she had gained a lot of weight. Is this called getting on the right track?
Seeing her aggrieved look, he was quite good at coaxing, "I will reward you with a spoon later."
Yun Chuwei imitated the way a baby eats, and babbled, "...Master Jiu, people eat with chopsticks."
"It's okay." He said.
Yun Chu was slightly dumb.
What does it mean that it's okay, if the maids and women in her room see her eating with a wooden spoon at such an age, they will be laughed at to death, okay?
"What's the matter?" Facing her strange expression, he asked casually.
"I don't want a wooden spoon." Yun Chu gave him a slightly resentful look, "If you really want to give it away, you can give me the clogs, how about it?"
"Clogs?" Su Yan was taken aback, "What are those?"
Yun Chuwei wondered to himself, so there is no such thing as clogs in this time and space?
No matter what.
"It's a kind of two-tooth clogs, which are most suitable for wearing in the hot summer. Master Jiu is so talented, why don't you make a pair for me?" After she finished speaking, she immediately asked for the Four Treasures of the Study, and studied the ink and brush on rice paper. Draw above and below the artwork.
After the ink blot dried up, Su Yan took it over and looked at it, and finally set his eyes on her with a slightly strange expression, "Are you sure this thing can be worn?"
Such revealing shoes are really unprecedented, she is really bold, and she is not afraid that he will be angry?
Yun Chuwei immediately folded his hands together as if begging, "I promise, I will only wear them at our house, and change into other shoes when I go out, okay?"
The restrictions on women in this era are really strict. In summer, it is understandable not to wear short sleeves and short skirts, but in such a hot day, both feet have to be covered tightly. This summer, she really can't stand it, so she simply shuts herself Take off your shoes and socks in the house and walk around on the smooth and cold floor to cool off the heat.
But I don't want to do this next year, so why not persuade him to make a pair of wooden clogs for me first, as long as Master Jiu nodded, no one would dare to say no to her wearing them in this mansion.
Su Yan's eyes darkened a bit.
He knows Yun Chuwei's feet best, they are exquisite and small, the nails are well trimmed, and the ten toes are pink and white.
Once the feet that usually only show up when washing their feet are wearing this kind of thing, they have to be exposed to the outside from time to time for people to watch, and it feels sore to think about it.
Su Yan was very reluctant, even if he was asked to learn embroidery to make clothes for her, he would have nothing to say, but make clogs?Isn't this recruiting wolves for Madam?She was born beautiful, and dressed so seductively, even if she doesn't go outside, the servants in the mansion should look straight at her.No no, he can't do that.
"Jiuye." Yun Chuwei put half of his body on him, pretending to be pitiful, so he seduced him, "You don't even know that every summer, people's feet are uncomfortably hot, you just think it's because of him." Save me in dire straits, okay, I’ve said it all, I won’t wear it outside, I only wear it in our house, okay, okay?”
Of course she didn't dare to wear it out. If people outside saw it, she would be drowned by spitting stars.
Seeing that he was unmoved, she put her hands around his neck, her soft lips pressed against his, and her eyes shone with burning light.
"Do you really like it?" He took off her restless hands and stared at her eyes seriously. These eyes are especially beautiful, full of stars in the sky, no matter how you look at them, you can't find them enough.
"Yeah, I like it very much." Yun Chu nodded slightly, and must do his best to benefit himself.
"Okay, I'll see you off next summer." He said slowly.He really couldn't resist her allure, if she wasn't pregnant, he should have taken her back to his room and trained her hard.
"Really?" Yun Chu was slightly overjoyed.
"Hmm." There was a soft snort in the nasal cavity. If you listen carefully, you can find that the voice is mixed with forbearance and restraint, and it is slightly hoarse. "It is impossible for what I said to be invalid."
"Ninth Master, you are so kind." She giggled, knowing that he would not ignore her, and to show her sincerity, she hugged his neck again and offered a kiss.
Su Yan was already suffering, so how could he let her go, he couldn't actually fight, and he couldn't miss the opportunity to fight, he didn't give up until she was out of breath, and then went to take a cold bath by himself.
At this time, Yun Chuwei didn't know that the clogs she asked Su Yan to make for her on a whim became a popular trend in Nanliang after a long time. Women all put on clogs to free their feet in the hot summer. The tapping sound of walking constitutes a series of unique musical notes.
-
After the beginning of winter, the temperature drops sharply, and the triennial martial arts will be held at this time, presided over by the Ministry of War.
The son-in-law, Wu Yong, who had already signed up for the battle, was fully equipped and went into battle. After passing the written test, horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, carbine shooting, weight-bearing, wrestling and many other exam questions, he actually won the martial arts exam as a first-level freshman. A No.3 prospect.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy. The colleagues who looked down upon Wu Yong and even thought Wu Yong was whimsical all changed their views to please him.
And the martial artist who taught him became famous because of this, and even Emperor Yonglong nominated him at the Golden Luan Hall and praised him wildly.
After Yun Chuwei heard about it, she curled her lips. The one who should be famous and known by the world shouldn't be her father Yunzheng?
Wu Yong learned a lot from Yunzheng when he was in Xinghua Village, and he was a hunter, riding and shooting, it was no problem at all, his martial artist, at most, played a guiding role, and the one who contributed the most It still belonged to Yunzheng.
If Yunzheng knew that this little apprentice of his had won the martial arts and graduated early in less than a year after joining the martial arts gym, how would he react?
Thinking of this, Yun Chuwei took up a pen and wrote a letter to Quanzhou, writing down Wu Yong's great deeds, and asked about the construction progress of the private school. When the private school is built, sooner or later, Her father can also become a famous martial artist.
Wu Yong passed the martial arts examination, and was soon appointed as the fourth-rank capital division.
Nanliang only stipulated that the princess should not marry the children of powerful ministers, but did not stipulate that the son-in-law was not allowed to serve in the army or politics, so the princess's son-in-law would have the opportunity to gain power through his own efforts the day after tomorrow.
For such an important event of honoring the ancestors, the Wu family naturally held a celebration banquet. Yun Chuwei was not allowed to drink, so he did not participate, but was sent to give gifts.
As a freshman of the first class, he passed the martial arts exam, Yonglong Emperor Longxin Dayue looked at his son-in-law with admiration, so he held a palace banquet after the Wu family celebration banquet, and specially summoned the son-in-law and Helian Shuang Reunion in the palace.
Empress Luo was very pleased to see her son-in-law so promising and her daughter smiling happily, but this comfort disappeared when she met He Lianjin.
"Jin'er, why haven't you thought about getting married yet?" Empress Luo looked at the person sitting across from her, frowning frequently, "Look, both of you have children, you, as an older brother, don't want to start a family yet , like what?"
He Lianjin moved his eyelids lazily. If it was possible, he would like to marry Han'er right away, but their family rules are strict. Before the elder brother gets married, the younger sister cannot get married, so no matter how impatient he is, he has to wait until he gets married. Actions can only be taken after Winter Moon 22.
Seeing his drooping eyelids, Empress Luo sighed heavily. She could clearly become a noble prince under one person and above ten thousand people by virtue of superior conditions, but he wanted to make himself like this. It's not that he didn't think about what he said The prophecy dream, but Empress Luo felt that the dream was simply too absurd. Four years later, the emperor was in full bloom, how could it be possible for him to die suddenly?
Every time he talked about the wedding, He Lianjin always had such an attitude. Empress Luo stopped after a few words, because she knew that there would be no result, and she was just wasting her saliva.He Lianshuang didn't say anything, she had asked Yun Chuwei before, who promised that he would persuade her brother to get married next year, if someone else said it, she would definitely not believe it, but from Yun Chuwei's mouth She inexplicably felt that there was an indescribable persuasive force in the words that came out from inside. All in all, as long as Yun Chuwei had promised, she believed that the other party would definitely be able to do it.
-
That night, Yun Chuwei was rarely sleepy, and asked Su Yan to go out for a walk. The two walked around the backyard, and when they were about to come back, they found a fire behind the rockery in front of them.
The two looked at each other, and Qi Qi walked over lightly. They didn't go directly to the position of the fire, but looked out through the cracks in the rocks in the rockery passage.
Seeing this, Yun Chu was slightly taken aback.
The fire outside turned out to be Lu Chuan burning paper money.
Could it be that today is the death day of one of his relatives?
Yun Chu tilted his head slightly to look at Su Yan, Su Yan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Yun Chuwei gestured again, intending to ask him if he wanted to go out.
Su Yan still shook his head. Although burning paper money is prohibited in the mansion, Lu Chuan has always been a very measured person. He can't do it for no reason. The one who wants to come and die has a very special meaning to him, as long as Lu Chuan doesn't do too much. , then he is willing to turn a blind eye and close his eyes, let the dead be the greatest, and not mention this matter.
Although Yun Chuwei was curious, seeing that Su Yan had no intention of going out to ask face to face, she gave up the idea.
Everyone has privacy and secrets. The person Lu Chuan burned paper money for may be the secret he has kept in his heart and cannot tell. As for who it is, that is his business, and she has no right to ask.
The two stood in the fake cave for a while and then left.
Back at Yangui Pavilion, Su Yan asked people to find out all the information about Lu's residence.
Yun Chu was slightly puzzled, "Isn't Master Jiu not going to ask about Lu Chuan's affairs? Why did you suddenly turn up their family relationship map again?"
Su Yan pondered for a while, "I suddenly remembered something."
"what's up?"
Su Yan slowly said: "In Lu Xiuyuan's father's generation, the three brothers had a sister-in-law, but I have never seen that person in all these years. Although the Lu family's ancestral home is in Tong County like my grandfather's, , but the Lu family moved to the capital since Lu Xiuyuan's grandfather's generation. As a daughter of the Lu family, even if she wants to get married, she should marry in the capital. It makes no sense that Lu Xiuyuan's aunt would stay in her ancestral home. Either she wasn't married at all, or she followed someone along the way."
In this era, Ben hires concubines and wives. Once he has not been recruited by three media and six recruits, he will never be recognized by his husband's family. No matter how good he is, he can only be a noble concubine.
Yun Chuwei was thoughtful, "But the daughter of the Lu family really didn't have any trace, it's as if there was no such person in the first place."
Su Yan frowned slightly, "Perhaps, Lu Chuan's paper money was burnt to this one."
-
At the same time, Lu Mansion on Chongming Street.
Lu Xiuyuan retreated all the servants, and sat alone in the backyard, with a brazier at his feet, holding the ghost paper in his hand, and burned it one after another in the brazier.
There is a moon tonight, exuding a cool brilliance, which sets off his handsome and beautiful outline with a somewhat lonely atmosphere.
"Yuan'er, why are you sitting here alone?" The voice of the elder Lu Jiaping came from behind.
Immediately afterwards, a squirrel fur cloak was draped over his shoulders.
The sudden warmth brought Lu Xiuyuan back to his senses.
"Uncle...Father." He greeted lightly.
Lu Jiaping's eyes fell on the burning paper in the brazier in front of him, and he sighed softly, "Are you thinking about your mother again?"
Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips slightly, with a sad expression.
Lu Jiaping patted him on the shoulder, "It's been so many years, and you still miss her so much. If she knows something, she should die in peace."
"Father." Lu Xiuyuan looked at Lu Jiaping, his beautiful eyes were filled with hope, like a lost child looking for someone to ask for directions, "Have you still not found my mother's body? Even if it's just a tomb, Don't you have any?"
Lu Jiaping gave Lu Xiuyuan a distressed look, "Yuan'er, I have tried my best all these years, and I have sent out more than a few people, but no one has ever been able to find your mother's trace. Sigh... maybe this is God's will, In fact, as long as you have that kind of filial piety, it doesn't matter if your mother's bones return home or not, she will live in your heart forever."
Lu Xiuyuan lowered his eyelashes, the bright moonlight added a layer of coolness to his handsome face.
It's not that he has never met his biological mother. In his impression, his mother is a beautiful woman, gentle and kind. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she always maintains a confident and calm appearance, which is exactly that beautiful appearance. How many men's eyes have been confused.When he was three years old, an accident happened that he would never forget in his life. A group of men in black from unknown origin wanted to take his mother away. He refused, and his small body blocked his mother behind him. The men in the clothes treated him unceremoniously, and even stabbed poisonous needles into his knees.
The mother cried so hard that she stood up and said that she was willing to go with them, but begged them to let him go.
The people in black did not make things difficult for him anymore, but when he was sent to the hospital, the toxin had already spread along his tendons, so he had to find a way to take out the poisonous needles. As for his legs, it was hopeless.
Lu Xiuyuan never felt inferior because his legs couldn't walk on the ground, he just resented that he was too weak back then, and couldn't even protect his mother.So since then, he has worked hard to learn his skills, and if he can't go to the battlefield, he will start a business. He vowed to become the richest person in the world, so that anyone who dares to bully him or someone he cares about in the future, he will have plenty of money. The more lethal killer revenge back.
It's okay to have no martial arts, but you can't be without money.
This is his belief since he was a child.
But now, he has become the richest man in Nanliang, but he can never get back his mother's life. He only knows that his mother is dead, but he can't even find a single bone.
"Yuan'er, don't be sad." Lu Jiaping comforted, "Your mother must not be willing to see you like this."
Lu Xiuyuan looked up at the cold moon in the sky, his vision was a little blurred by the steam, and his whole body became more and more lonely.
After Lu Jiaping left, Lu Xiuyuan asked someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study and wrote a secret letter for Wan Tong to send out.
Half an hour later, Ronghe Street Tavern.
Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Chuan sat opposite each other.
Lu Xiuyuan poured the wine for him himself, but he couldn't say "Third Uncle" when he reached his mouth. He clenched the wine glass tightly with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Third Uncle, I respect you."
Lu Chuan carefully looked at Lu Xiuyuan.
Every year on this day, Lu Xiuyuan would come to him, even if he became a monk in Longquan Temple, he would not let him go, either to drink with him, or to do other things.
All in all, on this day of every year, Lu Xiuyuan's heart is very fragile, and he is extremely short of comfort and places to vent his emotions, so every time he comes to look for him, Lu Chuan does not say much, and silently accompany him.
"Third Uncle, can you tell me more about what happened back then?" Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, his eyes could be moistened to the fullest.
"Yuaner." Lu Chuan sighed softly, "It is impossible for your mother to come back again. I don't know where she went. All I can tell you are the details of when I brought you out, but you listen to those details every year. Once again, don't you feel annoying?"
Lu Xiuyuan said: "That's the only story I can hear about my mother. Only after hearing those words can I clearly realize that I also have a mother."
At the age of three, his memory was so limited that he had no time to remember more about his mother, so she was taken away.
Hearing what he said, Lu Chuan felt even more sad.
That's right, when Lu Chuan's father dragged his family and moved to Shuntian Mansion, Su Yan's biological mother, Qu Luo, was at the most difficult time in her life, and as Qu Luo's childhood sweetheart, he should have been by her side , but his direct sister had an accident, and he rushed over to bring her son back without stopping.
That child was exactly Lu Xiuyuan, and he lived in the eyes of the world as the young master of the Lu family ever since.
But it was precisely because of this incident that the life between him and Qu Luo had undergone a tremendous change. She couldn't wait for him, and even thought that he followed her father to the capital and abandoned her, so she turned around and entered Su's mansion as a concubine He didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing until he brought Lu Xiuyuan back to Lu's house. Dang even had a quarrel with his father, and later racked his brains to redeem her from the Su's house, but at that time, all explanations were too late. She didn't believe him anymore, and her feelings for him also faded away during that time. Facing him again, all she had left was hatred.
Lu Chuan really couldn't accept that the woman he had admired for so many years became someone else's woman, so he went to Longquan Temple disheartened. The abbot said that he was not clean and could not be shaved, so he took his hair to practice for 20 years. He often inquired about her secretly, knowing that she was not doing well in the Su Mansion, and was framed and bullied every three days. The more he heard about this, the more he wanted to sneak into the unremarkable Su Mansion in the dead of night. Ding Xiangyuan took her away. In fact, he had done the same thing before, but her heart was dead and she refused to listen to his persuasion. He had no choice but to watch her suffer.
Twenty years later, he could no longer stand by and watch, so he planned to come to Su's mansion when Mrs. Su deliberately asked people to go to Longquan Temple to release news. He thought, the only thing he can do in this life is to be a good person. A gardener who takes good care of flowers so that they will not be harmed.
"Third Uncle, I'm sorry." Lu Xiuyuan said suddenly.
Lu Chuan was stunned, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If it wasn't for me, Third Uncle would have a house full of children and grandchildren, how could he be like this now..."
"Don't say this." Lu Chuan ordered in a deep voice: "You have to know, even if your mother is gone, you are still the child that our three brothers of the Lu family cherish most. Whether it is me or your uncle and second uncle, they will treat you as a child." What my biological son has done for you is all voluntary by the third uncle, as for me and Luo'er, it can only mean that there is no destiny, this is fate, and I can't blame you."
Lu Xiuyuan blamed himself even more.
"Third Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
"You said."
"My biological father, who is he?"
Lu Chuan was silent.
"You know that, right?" Lu Xiuyuan seemed a little anxious.
"I don't know." Lu Chuan shook his head, but secretly sweated. The three brothers all knew the identity of his biological father, but no one could say it, because he was not an ordinary person. Come endless misfortunes.
The three brothers can raise this child for their sister-in-law, but the only thing they can't do is tell him his real life experience.
In other words, they would rather treat Yuan'er as their own son and raise him up like this, even for the rest of his life, than he would recognize that bastard.
Lu Xiuyuan didn't continue to press, but fell into a long silence.
Lu Chuan replaced the wine he poured for himself with tea, took it up and drank it.
"Yuan'er, don't think too much, just remember that you will always be the young master of the Lu family who is loved by thousands of people."
"Yeah." Lu Xiuyuan nodded slightly, as a promise.
How could he turn a blind eye to the kindness of the three uncles to him, the eldest uncle did not renew the string for him, and the backyard was full of concubines, so that those concubines had to please him in a disguised form to please the eldest uncle. He is indeed a collection of thousands of pets, even if he frowned after taking a bite of a dish he didn't like, some people followed behind and worried, not to mention a bunch of people rushing in and out when he was cold or even sick waited on.
"It's cold, Yuan'er should pay attention to your health." Lu Chuan said again: "Third Uncle has gone to the Duke's Mansion now. In order to avoid suspicion, he can't write letters to follow you as often as before. You should pay attention to yourself."
"I will." Lu Xiuyuan responded one by one, and paused for a moment, "Does Third Uncle plan to just keep guarding her until she grows old?"
Ordinarily, at his third uncle's age, he should have even had a grandson.
In fact, not only his third uncle, but also the elder uncle and the second uncle, the uncle's concubines failed to give birth to a son, only him was a "di son", and it was impossible for him to have a family and have children, so the uncle has no grandson until now, and the second uncle has no grandchildren. What's more, the uncle got married late, and his legitimate son Lu Yinheng was eight years younger than his "eldest young master". Not long ago, he just married Master Hao, the jewel in the palm of the Guozijian Jijiu. up.
"Third Uncle is getting old." Lu Chuan sighed, "He is also a monk. Although he has little affinity with Buddha, he has been contaminated with a lot of Buddha nature for so many years. For me, getting married and having children is not the best thing to do. The important thing is to keep one person safe for a lifetime, and that's enough."
Is it enough to keep one person safe for a lifetime?
Lu Xiuyuan was a little touched.
As if he didn't want to mention those old events too much, Lu Chuan quickly changed the subject, "I have been in the Duke's Mansion for so long, and I have seen Su Yan's medical skills with my own eyes. If Yuan'er is willing, Third Uncle will ask him to help you heal. ?" Yuan'er's leg may still recover!
Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, "Because of his mother, he hates the Lu family to the core, how could he agree to help me heal, even if he was kind to me for a short time, it was just because I was good to his wife. Besides, my legs have been useless for 20 years, if it could be cured, the three uncles would not have spent so much time and effort in hiring folk doctors for me, so there is no hope of recovery."
When Lu Xiuyuan said these words, his expression was calm and calm, and he didn't show any regret or regret at all, as if he was just describing a dispensable thing,
As everyone knows, the more he is like this, the more distressed he is in Lu Chuan's eyes.
After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, and talking to Lu Chuan, Lu Xiuyuan felt much happier.
At least compared to last year, he felt less sad on the day of his mother's death.
-
"So, the daughter of the Lu family is long gone?"
In the Duke's Mansion, Su Yan is still flipping through all the information about the Lu family,
Yun Chuwei sat by the side to accompany him.
Su Yan was thoughtful, "Yes."
Because of Mrs. Tai, Su Yan could say that he sent someone to investigate the Lu family's details, but he didn't have any news about Lu Xiuyuan's aunt at all, so there are only two possibilities.First, Lu Xiuyuan's aunt had never been to the capital, and second, Lu Xiuyuan's aunt died before Su Yan was born.
But none of these seem to explain anything.
"Master Jiu, I heard that Lu Xiuyuan's legs were not born with disabilities, do you know why?"
"It is said that he was injured when he went to other places with Master Lu when he was very young. I haven't shown it to him, so I don't know the real reason."
Yun Chuwei flipped through the files about the Lu family boredly, "Actually, if the ninth master wants to know about Lu Xiuyuan's aunt, he might as well ask his mother. Wasn't she a childhood sweetheart with Lu Chuan at that time? She should know about the sister-in-law on the head of their three brothers. Is it about my sister?"
Su Yan paused while finishing the files, "Perhaps you are right."
Day two.
"Lu Xiuyuan's aunt?"
In Xunmeiju, Qu Shi was surprised for a while when he heard Su Yan's question, "Why do you want to know about her all of a sudden?"
Su Yan said lightly: "I always feel that something is wrong, mother, please tell us, where did the daughter of the Lu family go in the end?"
Qu thought about it seriously, "Actually, I don't know very well. When I was young, I went to their house to play once or twice, and then they disappeared completely. It is said that they married and went to other places, but I haven't seen them. The family holds a wedding to marry their daughter, perhaps, they just follow the people!"
(End of this chapter)
He Lianyu woke up in the medical hall, opened his eyes, and vaguely saw a pretty figure sitting in front of the couch.
Although it was blurry, he naturally overlapped that face with someone deep in his memory.
"Miss Xu?"
Unconsciously shout out.
The person in front of the bed visibly froze, "Who is Miss Xu?"
That's right, this person is not Xu Han, but He Lianyu's fiancée Yun Xueyao. The medical clinic here is close to Dongyang Hou's Mansion. After she heard that He Lianyu was injured, she managed to come out of the mansion to visit secretly. He, after taking care of him for half a day, the first thing he said when he woke up was calling for another woman?
Although He Lianyu personally agreed to marry her when her reputation was at its worst, and although she should be grateful for it, when a woman's jealousy comes up, it is completely unreasonable, especially when she thinks of the affectionate voice "Miss Xu", Yun Xueyao almost gnawed her silver teeth into pieces, and the flames of jealousy burned all her rationality.
"Is it Xu Han who the lord said?" That bitch has moved out of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion for so long, does he still dare to seduce His Highness the Xian Wang in private?If I had known earlier, I should have found a chance to kill her when she was still in Dongyang Hou Mansion!
He Lianyu woke up completely, and recognized his current position clearly, rubbing his forehead, his tone was slightly cold, "Why are you here?"
Seeing his displeasure, Yun Xueyao was shocked, after all she was a little scared, "I heard that the prince was injured and sent to this clinic, so I came here to see you."
He Lianyu glanced around, and asked again: "Who sent me here?"
Yun Xueyao bit her lower lip, didn't he even know who sent him to the clinic?
I wanted to admit that it was me, but it was different from what I said just now, so I chose not to say anything.
He Lianyu thought about it carefully. He was chased by He Lianxun's men. When he ran to that alley, he was really exhausted. In addition, the wound on his arm was a little inflamed. In the end, he passed out from the pain. He didn't know what happened, but he remembered one thing clearly. During the coma, he smelled the extremely quiet and elegant Guanglingxiang.
I don't know since when, he has been fond of this fragrance, as if it was his favorite in his previous life, every time he smells it, it can make him feel extremely at ease and comfortable.
Sitting up, He Lianyu stretched out her good hand and pulled Yun Xueyao's arm around vigorously. Yun Xueyao staggered and fell into his arms, her heart was beating fast, and a pimple appeared on her cheeks. Hong Yun, just when she was feeling ashamed and happy, and was imagining how to respond to him next, He Lianyu approached her and sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose, as if she was sure that it wasn't his favorite smell, so she frowned fiercely , pushing her away like a wild dog.
"Your Highness..."
The contrast between the front and the back was so fast that Yun Xueyao accepted her incompetence, and with tears in her eyes, she looked at him pitifully.
"Although you and I are engaged, we are still unmarried couples. You should guard against men and women. You should go back. Don't let others find out that you came out to meet this king specially. , will soon be gone.”
This sentence is actually a disguised reminder to Yun Xueyao that when he agreed to marry her, her reputation was already very bad, he had better know how to be obedient, otherwise he might end the engagement at any time because of her notoriety .
Yun Xueyao's face turned pale with fright, but she was still unwilling after all, "But His Highness's injury..."
"Don't bother you."
He Lianyu replied lightly, the displeasure on his brows showed that his patience had reached its limit.Yun Xueyao is not the person he likes, marrying her is a helpless move, but it doesn't matter, when he comes to rule the world, no matter where she goes, the person he likes will never be able to escape from his territory, one day , he will make her the most honorable hostess in this country.
Yun Xueyao stared at He Lianyu in a daze, and in her heart she really wanted to know who the girl Xu he was talking about was, but the current situation was out of her control.
He Lianyu watched Yun Xueyao leave with cold eyes, Xu Han's quiet and beautiful face unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
He would actually call that person's name when he woke up?
Could it be that the person who saved him before was really Xu Han?
He Lianyu clutched his chest, his heart seemed to be beating faster than usual.
Lifting the brocade quilt and getting off the bed, He Lianyu dragged his still somewhat tired body out of the hospital and went straight to the Xianwang Mansion.
-
Since He Lianzhu's funeral, Concubine Xiao's concern for him has been increasing day by day. No, I heard that the injury on his arm has worsened, so I immediately sent someone to bring me some supplements, and then someone sent a message to tell him to take a good rest. There is no rush for government affairs, and when he recovers from his injury, she will naturally go to see the Queen Mother.
She said "meet the queen mother", but she actually told him in disguise that as soon as he recovered, she would try her best to help him regain power one by one from the queen mother.
Isn't this kind of situation what He Lianyu wanted so hard?I was already laughing with satisfaction in my heart, but my face was indifferent, and even frowned, and said to the palace man who came to pass the message: "Go back and tell the mother and concubine that the king is fine, but I will trouble her." I miss it."
The reciprocity of "mother's kindness and son's filial piety" has brought the relationship between the half-way mother and son closer. He Lianjin frowned every time he heard it. He was not worried that He Lianyu would cause some troubles, but mainly because he wanted to facilitate this. The person responsible for the incident was Su Yan, and he felt bad all over, and wanted to find a way to vent.
"Sir, why doesn't he want to help the king?"
In Prince Jin's Mansion, He Lianjin invited his staff and asked with a distressed expression.
Even if you don't help him, it's okay to stand by his side, how can you run to help He Lianyu turn over?Isn't this clearly against him?
The staff paused for a moment, "Perhaps, the Duke of the State has a deep sense of defense against the prince."
"Be on guard?" He Lianjin emphasized the wording. He would not snatch women from Su Yan, and he would not betray his promise. Why should Su Yan be on guard against him?Even if he became the emperor in his previous life, he never had any suspicion or guard against this dead brother, let alone cut off his military power.
So, where did Su Yan's defensiveness come from?
"Can sir understand the meaning?" He Lianjin asked again.
The staff member shook his head, "If it was someone else, I would still be able to figure it out a little bit, but I can't figure out what the Duke said at all." He did it, but in the end he just gave you a surprise that made you hard to guard against. If you want to know his mind, you have to be a roundworm in his stomach.
-
The duke, who had been doubted by others, was digging a wooden spoon at this time.
The pair of small bowls for the baby had been baked and glazed, and he felt that it was not enough, so he found the best black walnut wood and prepared to dig a pair of small wooden spoons to go with it.
To be honest, Yun Chuwei was a little dumbfounded.
When he only existed in other people's mouths, she thought he was just a battlefield god who was good at using soldiers.
Later, she got to know him, and found that this God of War is not only good at using soldiers, but also has a good way of flirting with girls, with a variety of tricks, every time you are surprised and forced to make your heart beat faster.
Later, when she married him, she discovered that besides being good at fighting and teasing people, he was also extremely tough in some aspects. He usually wouldn't give up until he made her dizzy. Fortunately, he was pregnant, and his many scruples made him She "survived the disaster".
Later, later, that is, now, Yun Chuwei felt that he must be dazzled.
The man over there sitting under the rose trellis, holding a file and a carving knife and concentrating on digging a wooden spoon, is he really Su Yan?Also, why does this person learn what to master?
Two days ago, he wanted to burn small bowls, and almost built a kiln in the mansion, but Yun Chuwei firmly resisted him, so he was willing to take out the finished slabs and burn them.
In the past two days, I have to dig a wooden spoon. Before that, I specially invited a woodcarver to teach it. It didn't take long. In just a few hours, I can do it alone.
Yun Chu clicked his tongue inwardly. If this kind of person were to be placed in her world, he would definitely be a typical student god!The unforgiving kind.
"Wei Wei, since you're here, why don't you just sit there?" She obviously had her back facing her, but it seemed that her back had eyes.
Yun Chuwei, who was named, was inexplicably embarrassed, walked over with a small rag and sat down.
"Jiuye." She looked at him, her voice softened a bit, "It's only been a few hours, and you can dig a wooden spoon by yourself?"
After hearing this, Su Yan stopped his movements and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Then, how long does Madam think it should take for my husband to learn?"
At least, it will take three to five days, right?
Dare not to say this, he laughed dryly, "No, no, I mean, you are too good, Ninth Master, you can learn a skill so quickly." It's really wronged you not to be reincarnated in the 21st century.
Su Yan put away the things on the table and greeted her, "Extend your wrist."
Yun Chuwei regained consciousness in an instant, and obediently held out his hand.
He touched her pulse with his fingers for a moment, showing a look in her eyes that should be regarded as barely satisfied, "It's only been on the right track in the past few days, um, yes, keep it up."
Yun Chuwei wanted to cry but had no tears. She had to eat the medicinal diet and meals arranged by him on time every day, and she felt that she had gained a lot of weight. Is this called getting on the right track?
Seeing her aggrieved look, he was quite good at coaxing, "I will reward you with a spoon later."
Yun Chuwei imitated the way a baby eats, and babbled, "...Master Jiu, people eat with chopsticks."
"It's okay." He said.
Yun Chu was slightly dumb.
What does it mean that it's okay, if the maids and women in her room see her eating with a wooden spoon at such an age, they will be laughed at to death, okay?
"What's the matter?" Facing her strange expression, he asked casually.
"I don't want a wooden spoon." Yun Chu gave him a slightly resentful look, "If you really want to give it away, you can give me the clogs, how about it?"
"Clogs?" Su Yan was taken aback, "What are those?"
Yun Chuwei wondered to himself, so there is no such thing as clogs in this time and space?
No matter what.
"It's a kind of two-tooth clogs, which are most suitable for wearing in the hot summer. Master Jiu is so talented, why don't you make a pair for me?" After she finished speaking, she immediately asked for the Four Treasures of the Study, and studied the ink and brush on rice paper. Draw above and below the artwork.
After the ink blot dried up, Su Yan took it over and looked at it, and finally set his eyes on her with a slightly strange expression, "Are you sure this thing can be worn?"
Such revealing shoes are really unprecedented, she is really bold, and she is not afraid that he will be angry?
Yun Chuwei immediately folded his hands together as if begging, "I promise, I will only wear them at our house, and change into other shoes when I go out, okay?"
The restrictions on women in this era are really strict. In summer, it is understandable not to wear short sleeves and short skirts, but in such a hot day, both feet have to be covered tightly. This summer, she really can't stand it, so she simply shuts herself Take off your shoes and socks in the house and walk around on the smooth and cold floor to cool off the heat.
But I don't want to do this next year, so why not persuade him to make a pair of wooden clogs for me first, as long as Master Jiu nodded, no one would dare to say no to her wearing them in this mansion.
Su Yan's eyes darkened a bit.
He knows Yun Chuwei's feet best, they are exquisite and small, the nails are well trimmed, and the ten toes are pink and white.
Once the feet that usually only show up when washing their feet are wearing this kind of thing, they have to be exposed to the outside from time to time for people to watch, and it feels sore to think about it.
Su Yan was very reluctant, even if he was asked to learn embroidery to make clothes for her, he would have nothing to say, but make clogs?Isn't this recruiting wolves for Madam?She was born beautiful, and dressed so seductively, even if she doesn't go outside, the servants in the mansion should look straight at her.No no, he can't do that.
"Jiuye." Yun Chuwei put half of his body on him, pretending to be pitiful, so he seduced him, "You don't even know that every summer, people's feet are uncomfortably hot, you just think it's because of him." Save me in dire straits, okay, I’ve said it all, I won’t wear it outside, I only wear it in our house, okay, okay?”
Of course she didn't dare to wear it out. If people outside saw it, she would be drowned by spitting stars.
Seeing that he was unmoved, she put her hands around his neck, her soft lips pressed against his, and her eyes shone with burning light.
"Do you really like it?" He took off her restless hands and stared at her eyes seriously. These eyes are especially beautiful, full of stars in the sky, no matter how you look at them, you can't find them enough.
"Yeah, I like it very much." Yun Chu nodded slightly, and must do his best to benefit himself.
"Okay, I'll see you off next summer." He said slowly.He really couldn't resist her allure, if she wasn't pregnant, he should have taken her back to his room and trained her hard.
"Really?" Yun Chu was slightly overjoyed.
"Hmm." There was a soft snort in the nasal cavity. If you listen carefully, you can find that the voice is mixed with forbearance and restraint, and it is slightly hoarse. "It is impossible for what I said to be invalid."
"Ninth Master, you are so kind." She giggled, knowing that he would not ignore her, and to show her sincerity, she hugged his neck again and offered a kiss.
Su Yan was already suffering, so how could he let her go, he couldn't actually fight, and he couldn't miss the opportunity to fight, he didn't give up until she was out of breath, and then went to take a cold bath by himself.
At this time, Yun Chuwei didn't know that the clogs she asked Su Yan to make for her on a whim became a popular trend in Nanliang after a long time. Women all put on clogs to free their feet in the hot summer. The tapping sound of walking constitutes a series of unique musical notes.
-
After the beginning of winter, the temperature drops sharply, and the triennial martial arts will be held at this time, presided over by the Ministry of War.
The son-in-law, Wu Yong, who had already signed up for the battle, was fully equipped and went into battle. After passing the written test, horse shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, carbine shooting, weight-bearing, wrestling and many other exam questions, he actually won the martial arts exam as a first-level freshman. A No.3 prospect.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Chaoyang Martial Arts Academy. The colleagues who looked down upon Wu Yong and even thought Wu Yong was whimsical all changed their views to please him.
And the martial artist who taught him became famous because of this, and even Emperor Yonglong nominated him at the Golden Luan Hall and praised him wildly.
After Yun Chuwei heard about it, she curled her lips. The one who should be famous and known by the world shouldn't be her father Yunzheng?
Wu Yong learned a lot from Yunzheng when he was in Xinghua Village, and he was a hunter, riding and shooting, it was no problem at all, his martial artist, at most, played a guiding role, and the one who contributed the most It still belonged to Yunzheng.
If Yunzheng knew that this little apprentice of his had won the martial arts and graduated early in less than a year after joining the martial arts gym, how would he react?
Thinking of this, Yun Chuwei took up a pen and wrote a letter to Quanzhou, writing down Wu Yong's great deeds, and asked about the construction progress of the private school. When the private school is built, sooner or later, Her father can also become a famous martial artist.
Wu Yong passed the martial arts examination, and was soon appointed as the fourth-rank capital division.
Nanliang only stipulated that the princess should not marry the children of powerful ministers, but did not stipulate that the son-in-law was not allowed to serve in the army or politics, so the princess's son-in-law would have the opportunity to gain power through his own efforts the day after tomorrow.
For such an important event of honoring the ancestors, the Wu family naturally held a celebration banquet. Yun Chuwei was not allowed to drink, so he did not participate, but was sent to give gifts.
As a freshman of the first class, he passed the martial arts exam, Yonglong Emperor Longxin Dayue looked at his son-in-law with admiration, so he held a palace banquet after the Wu family celebration banquet, and specially summoned the son-in-law and Helian Shuang Reunion in the palace.
Empress Luo was very pleased to see her son-in-law so promising and her daughter smiling happily, but this comfort disappeared when she met He Lianjin.
"Jin'er, why haven't you thought about getting married yet?" Empress Luo looked at the person sitting across from her, frowning frequently, "Look, both of you have children, you, as an older brother, don't want to start a family yet , like what?"
He Lianjin moved his eyelids lazily. If it was possible, he would like to marry Han'er right away, but their family rules are strict. Before the elder brother gets married, the younger sister cannot get married, so no matter how impatient he is, he has to wait until he gets married. Actions can only be taken after Winter Moon 22.
Seeing his drooping eyelids, Empress Luo sighed heavily. She could clearly become a noble prince under one person and above ten thousand people by virtue of superior conditions, but he wanted to make himself like this. It's not that he didn't think about what he said The prophecy dream, but Empress Luo felt that the dream was simply too absurd. Four years later, the emperor was in full bloom, how could it be possible for him to die suddenly?
Every time he talked about the wedding, He Lianjin always had such an attitude. Empress Luo stopped after a few words, because she knew that there would be no result, and she was just wasting her saliva.He Lianshuang didn't say anything, she had asked Yun Chuwei before, who promised that he would persuade her brother to get married next year, if someone else said it, she would definitely not believe it, but from Yun Chuwei's mouth She inexplicably felt that there was an indescribable persuasive force in the words that came out from inside. All in all, as long as Yun Chuwei had promised, she believed that the other party would definitely be able to do it.
-
That night, Yun Chuwei was rarely sleepy, and asked Su Yan to go out for a walk. The two walked around the backyard, and when they were about to come back, they found a fire behind the rockery in front of them.
The two looked at each other, and Qi Qi walked over lightly. They didn't go directly to the position of the fire, but looked out through the cracks in the rocks in the rockery passage.
Seeing this, Yun Chu was slightly taken aback.
The fire outside turned out to be Lu Chuan burning paper money.
Could it be that today is the death day of one of his relatives?
Yun Chu tilted his head slightly to look at Su Yan, Su Yan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Yun Chuwei gestured again, intending to ask him if he wanted to go out.
Su Yan still shook his head. Although burning paper money is prohibited in the mansion, Lu Chuan has always been a very measured person. He can't do it for no reason. The one who wants to come and die has a very special meaning to him, as long as Lu Chuan doesn't do too much. , then he is willing to turn a blind eye and close his eyes, let the dead be the greatest, and not mention this matter.
Although Yun Chuwei was curious, seeing that Su Yan had no intention of going out to ask face to face, she gave up the idea.
Everyone has privacy and secrets. The person Lu Chuan burned paper money for may be the secret he has kept in his heart and cannot tell. As for who it is, that is his business, and she has no right to ask.
The two stood in the fake cave for a while and then left.
Back at Yangui Pavilion, Su Yan asked people to find out all the information about Lu's residence.
Yun Chu was slightly puzzled, "Isn't Master Jiu not going to ask about Lu Chuan's affairs? Why did you suddenly turn up their family relationship map again?"
Su Yan pondered for a while, "I suddenly remembered something."
"what's up?"
Su Yan slowly said: "In Lu Xiuyuan's father's generation, the three brothers had a sister-in-law, but I have never seen that person in all these years. Although the Lu family's ancestral home is in Tong County like my grandfather's, , but the Lu family moved to the capital since Lu Xiuyuan's grandfather's generation. As a daughter of the Lu family, even if she wants to get married, she should marry in the capital. It makes no sense that Lu Xiuyuan's aunt would stay in her ancestral home. Either she wasn't married at all, or she followed someone along the way."
In this era, Ben hires concubines and wives. Once he has not been recruited by three media and six recruits, he will never be recognized by his husband's family. No matter how good he is, he can only be a noble concubine.
Yun Chuwei was thoughtful, "But the daughter of the Lu family really didn't have any trace, it's as if there was no such person in the first place."
Su Yan frowned slightly, "Perhaps, Lu Chuan's paper money was burnt to this one."
-
At the same time, Lu Mansion on Chongming Street.
Lu Xiuyuan retreated all the servants, and sat alone in the backyard, with a brazier at his feet, holding the ghost paper in his hand, and burned it one after another in the brazier.
There is a moon tonight, exuding a cool brilliance, which sets off his handsome and beautiful outline with a somewhat lonely atmosphere.
"Yuan'er, why are you sitting here alone?" The voice of the elder Lu Jiaping came from behind.
Immediately afterwards, a squirrel fur cloak was draped over his shoulders.
The sudden warmth brought Lu Xiuyuan back to his senses.
"Uncle...Father." He greeted lightly.
Lu Jiaping's eyes fell on the burning paper in the brazier in front of him, and he sighed softly, "Are you thinking about your mother again?"
Lu Xiuyuan pursed his lips slightly, with a sad expression.
Lu Jiaping patted him on the shoulder, "It's been so many years, and you still miss her so much. If she knows something, she should die in peace."
"Father." Lu Xiuyuan looked at Lu Jiaping, his beautiful eyes were filled with hope, like a lost child looking for someone to ask for directions, "Have you still not found my mother's body? Even if it's just a tomb, Don't you have any?"
Lu Jiaping gave Lu Xiuyuan a distressed look, "Yuan'er, I have tried my best all these years, and I have sent out more than a few people, but no one has ever been able to find your mother's trace. Sigh... maybe this is God's will, In fact, as long as you have that kind of filial piety, it doesn't matter if your mother's bones return home or not, she will live in your heart forever."
Lu Xiuyuan lowered his eyelashes, the bright moonlight added a layer of coolness to his handsome face.
It's not that he has never met his biological mother. In his impression, his mother is a beautiful woman, gentle and kind. No matter what difficulties she encounters, she always maintains a confident and calm appearance, which is exactly that beautiful appearance. How many men's eyes have been confused.When he was three years old, an accident happened that he would never forget in his life. A group of men in black from unknown origin wanted to take his mother away. He refused, and his small body blocked his mother behind him. The men in the clothes treated him unceremoniously, and even stabbed poisonous needles into his knees.
The mother cried so hard that she stood up and said that she was willing to go with them, but begged them to let him go.
The people in black did not make things difficult for him anymore, but when he was sent to the hospital, the toxin had already spread along his tendons, so he had to find a way to take out the poisonous needles. As for his legs, it was hopeless.
Lu Xiuyuan never felt inferior because his legs couldn't walk on the ground, he just resented that he was too weak back then, and couldn't even protect his mother.So since then, he has worked hard to learn his skills, and if he can't go to the battlefield, he will start a business. He vowed to become the richest person in the world, so that anyone who dares to bully him or someone he cares about in the future, he will have plenty of money. The more lethal killer revenge back.
It's okay to have no martial arts, but you can't be without money.
This is his belief since he was a child.
But now, he has become the richest man in Nanliang, but he can never get back his mother's life. He only knows that his mother is dead, but he can't even find a single bone.
"Yuan'er, don't be sad." Lu Jiaping comforted, "Your mother must not be willing to see you like this."
Lu Xiuyuan looked up at the cold moon in the sky, his vision was a little blurred by the steam, and his whole body became more and more lonely.
After Lu Jiaping left, Lu Xiuyuan asked someone to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study and wrote a secret letter for Wan Tong to send out.
Half an hour later, Ronghe Street Tavern.
Lu Xiuyuan and Lu Chuan sat opposite each other.
Lu Xiuyuan poured the wine for him himself, but he couldn't say "Third Uncle" when he reached his mouth. He clenched the wine glass tightly with his fingers, and said in a low voice, "Third Uncle, I respect you."
Lu Chuan carefully looked at Lu Xiuyuan.
Every year on this day, Lu Xiuyuan would come to him, even if he became a monk in Longquan Temple, he would not let him go, either to drink with him, or to do other things.
All in all, on this day of every year, Lu Xiuyuan's heart is very fragile, and he is extremely short of comfort and places to vent his emotions, so every time he comes to look for him, Lu Chuan does not say much, and silently accompany him.
"Third Uncle, can you tell me more about what happened back then?" Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, his eyes could be moistened to the fullest.
"Yuaner." Lu Chuan sighed softly, "It is impossible for your mother to come back again. I don't know where she went. All I can tell you are the details of when I brought you out, but you listen to those details every year. Once again, don't you feel annoying?"
Lu Xiuyuan said: "That's the only story I can hear about my mother. Only after hearing those words can I clearly realize that I also have a mother."
At the age of three, his memory was so limited that he had no time to remember more about his mother, so she was taken away.
Hearing what he said, Lu Chuan felt even more sad.
That's right, when Lu Chuan's father dragged his family and moved to Shuntian Mansion, Su Yan's biological mother, Qu Luo, was at the most difficult time in her life, and as Qu Luo's childhood sweetheart, he should have been by her side , but his direct sister had an accident, and he rushed over to bring her son back without stopping.
That child was exactly Lu Xiuyuan, and he lived in the eyes of the world as the young master of the Lu family ever since.
But it was precisely because of this incident that the life between him and Qu Luo had undergone a tremendous change. She couldn't wait for him, and even thought that he followed her father to the capital and abandoned her, so she turned around and entered Su's mansion as a concubine He didn't know the ins and outs of the whole thing until he brought Lu Xiuyuan back to Lu's house. Dang even had a quarrel with his father, and later racked his brains to redeem her from the Su's house, but at that time, all explanations were too late. She didn't believe him anymore, and her feelings for him also faded away during that time. Facing him again, all she had left was hatred.
Lu Chuan really couldn't accept that the woman he had admired for so many years became someone else's woman, so he went to Longquan Temple disheartened. The abbot said that he was not clean and could not be shaved, so he took his hair to practice for 20 years. He often inquired about her secretly, knowing that she was not doing well in the Su Mansion, and was framed and bullied every three days. The more he heard about this, the more he wanted to sneak into the unremarkable Su Mansion in the dead of night. Ding Xiangyuan took her away. In fact, he had done the same thing before, but her heart was dead and she refused to listen to his persuasion. He had no choice but to watch her suffer.
Twenty years later, he could no longer stand by and watch, so he planned to come to Su's mansion when Mrs. Su deliberately asked people to go to Longquan Temple to release news. He thought, the only thing he can do in this life is to be a good person. A gardener who takes good care of flowers so that they will not be harmed.
"Third Uncle, I'm sorry." Lu Xiuyuan said suddenly.
Lu Chuan was stunned, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"If it wasn't for me, Third Uncle would have a house full of children and grandchildren, how could he be like this now..."
"Don't say this." Lu Chuan ordered in a deep voice: "You have to know, even if your mother is gone, you are still the child that our three brothers of the Lu family cherish most. Whether it is me or your uncle and second uncle, they will treat you as a child." What my biological son has done for you is all voluntary by the third uncle, as for me and Luo'er, it can only mean that there is no destiny, this is fate, and I can't blame you."
Lu Xiuyuan blamed himself even more.
"Third Uncle, can I ask you a question?"
"You said."
"My biological father, who is he?"
Lu Chuan was silent.
"You know that, right?" Lu Xiuyuan seemed a little anxious.
"I don't know." Lu Chuan shook his head, but secretly sweated. The three brothers all knew the identity of his biological father, but no one could say it, because he was not an ordinary person. Come endless misfortunes.
The three brothers can raise this child for their sister-in-law, but the only thing they can't do is tell him his real life experience.
In other words, they would rather treat Yuan'er as their own son and raise him up like this, even for the rest of his life, than he would recognize that bastard.
Lu Xiuyuan didn't continue to press, but fell into a long silence.
Lu Chuan replaced the wine he poured for himself with tea, took it up and drank it.
"Yuan'er, don't think too much, just remember that you will always be the young master of the Lu family who is loved by thousands of people."
"Yeah." Lu Xiuyuan nodded slightly, as a promise.
How could he turn a blind eye to the kindness of the three uncles to him, the eldest uncle did not renew the string for him, and the backyard was full of concubines, so that those concubines had to please him in a disguised form to please the eldest uncle. He is indeed a collection of thousands of pets, even if he frowned after taking a bite of a dish he didn't like, some people followed behind and worried, not to mention a bunch of people rushing in and out when he was cold or even sick waited on.
"It's cold, Yuan'er should pay attention to your health." Lu Chuan said again: "Third Uncle has gone to the Duke's Mansion now. In order to avoid suspicion, he can't write letters to follow you as often as before. You should pay attention to yourself."
"I will." Lu Xiuyuan responded one by one, and paused for a moment, "Does Third Uncle plan to just keep guarding her until she grows old?"
Ordinarily, at his third uncle's age, he should have even had a grandson.
In fact, not only his third uncle, but also the elder uncle and the second uncle, the uncle's concubines failed to give birth to a son, only him was a "di son", and it was impossible for him to have a family and have children, so the uncle has no grandson until now, and the second uncle has no grandchildren. What's more, the uncle got married late, and his legitimate son Lu Yinheng was eight years younger than his "eldest young master". Not long ago, he just married Master Hao, the jewel in the palm of the Guozijian Jijiu. up.
"Third Uncle is getting old." Lu Chuan sighed, "He is also a monk. Although he has little affinity with Buddha, he has been contaminated with a lot of Buddha nature for so many years. For me, getting married and having children is not the best thing to do. The important thing is to keep one person safe for a lifetime, and that's enough."
Is it enough to keep one person safe for a lifetime?
Lu Xiuyuan was a little touched.
As if he didn't want to mention those old events too much, Lu Chuan quickly changed the subject, "I have been in the Duke's Mansion for so long, and I have seen Su Yan's medical skills with my own eyes. If Yuan'er is willing, Third Uncle will ask him to help you heal. ?" Yuan'er's leg may still recover!
Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, "Because of his mother, he hates the Lu family to the core, how could he agree to help me heal, even if he was kind to me for a short time, it was just because I was good to his wife. Besides, my legs have been useless for 20 years, if it could be cured, the three uncles would not have spent so much time and effort in hiring folk doctors for me, so there is no hope of recovery."
When Lu Xiuyuan said these words, his expression was calm and calm, and he didn't show any regret or regret at all, as if he was just describing a dispensable thing,
As everyone knows, the more he is like this, the more distressed he is in Lu Chuan's eyes.
After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, and talking to Lu Chuan, Lu Xiuyuan felt much happier.
At least compared to last year, he felt less sad on the day of his mother's death.
-
"So, the daughter of the Lu family is long gone?"
In the Duke's Mansion, Su Yan is still flipping through all the information about the Lu family,
Yun Chuwei sat by the side to accompany him.
Su Yan was thoughtful, "Yes."
Because of Mrs. Tai, Su Yan could say that he sent someone to investigate the Lu family's details, but he didn't have any news about Lu Xiuyuan's aunt at all, so there are only two possibilities.First, Lu Xiuyuan's aunt had never been to the capital, and second, Lu Xiuyuan's aunt died before Su Yan was born.
But none of these seem to explain anything.
"Master Jiu, I heard that Lu Xiuyuan's legs were not born with disabilities, do you know why?"
"It is said that he was injured when he went to other places with Master Lu when he was very young. I haven't shown it to him, so I don't know the real reason."
Yun Chuwei flipped through the files about the Lu family boredly, "Actually, if the ninth master wants to know about Lu Xiuyuan's aunt, he might as well ask his mother. Wasn't she a childhood sweetheart with Lu Chuan at that time? She should know about the sister-in-law on the head of their three brothers. Is it about my sister?"
Su Yan paused while finishing the files, "Perhaps you are right."
Day two.
"Lu Xiuyuan's aunt?"
In Xunmeiju, Qu Shi was surprised for a while when he heard Su Yan's question, "Why do you want to know about her all of a sudden?"
Su Yan said lightly: "I always feel that something is wrong, mother, please tell us, where did the daughter of the Lu family go in the end?"
Qu thought about it seriously, "Actually, I don't know very well. When I was young, I went to their house to play once or twice, and then they disappeared completely. It is said that they married and went to other places, but I haven't seen them. The family holds a wedding to marry their daughter, perhaps, they just follow the people!"
