Lin Jiabiyu

May 26 is Duke Wen's birthday, and Lu Junqing accompanied Wen to Duke Wen's mansion.The carriage stopped at the second gate of the Duke's Mansion.Mrs. Gu took her daughter in with a smile, and Second Master Wen greeted Lu Junqing with a happy face. Second Master Wen patted Lu Junqing's arm with one hand, his eyes wrinkled together with laughter, and kept talking all the way, inviting people When I arrived at the main courtyard hall, I met Wen Guogong.

Wen Guogong is in his fifties, with a fat body and wrinkles on his face. He looks older than 60 years old. His eyes are narrowed with a smile, and he looks very enthusiastic.While pulling Lu Junqing, he told the servant girls in the room to serve tea and water quickly.

"Brother-in-law, please sit down." Second Master Wen graciously moved the chair for Lu Junzhao, and hurriedly took tea from the girl and handed it over, smiling very honestly, "My brother-in-law hasn't been to our house for a year. Come up. Didn’t you go to the south to find a famous doctor before, is it useful?”

Second Master Wen always had his thoughts written all over his face, and he said whatever he thought of. Now when he saw Lu Junqing, he asked questions without opening his mouth.

Lu Junqing smiled slightly, and answered each of the questions in a gentle and patient voice.

Second Master Wen smiled, nodded again and again, then turned around and told the little girl to quickly remove the ice basin in the living room, and to fetch a few basins of cool well water to put them on, and then asked someone to shake the fan.

Lu Junqing hurriedly stopped laughing. "Second brother, do it quickly, don't worry about it."

Second Master Wen stared at Lu Junqing's thin body, frowned, took a breath, shook his head, and began to give instructions to the maidservants in the room.

Wen Guogong also smiled when he saw this, and let his son make random arrangements for a while.Here I talked to Lu Junqing.

"The sage ordered your second brother to go to the north, and I heard that he will leave in a few days?" Wen Guogong asked casually, twisting his beard.

The smile on Lu Junqing's face was still gentle, and he nodded in a calm voice and replied: "I heard what my father and my second brother said about it." But there was no further words.

Wen Guogong frowned slightly, hummed with some displeasure in his heart, and simply pointed at Lu Junqing and said: "Your second uncle is in his thirties, and he doesn't have a job now, take a look, why don't you let him follow?" Go north to arrange an errand in the army?"

Lu Junqing hasn't spoken yet.Second Master Wen got up in a hurry, waved his hands quickly, jumped between Wen Guogong and Lu Junqing, shook his head again and again, and begged Wen Guogong with a bitter face: "Father, please forgive me. I can't go to the army with my appearance like this." That's a place where people can kill without blinking an eye, so I won't go. It's really not possible. I'll go to the official department to find an errand?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly emphasized to Lu Junqing: "Brother-in-law, don't listen to your father. If you beat me to death, you won't go to the north. It's freezing that day..." Second Master Wen shivered when he said this.

Wen Guogong glared at Second Master Wen with hatred, and then coughed at Lu Junzhao, who had a gentle smile on his face: "Forget it, forget it, I'm old. It's just for the sake of my children and grandchildren. You are also in your early thirties Now, you are the eldest son again. In the future, the entire Xining Palace will be yours. Your second brother has been named the general of the town, and the Holy One has given another mansion. Now that you are married, you may be separated in the future. You should also think about it Thinking about the north, after all, the Lu family started from the north..."

Lu Junqing smiled gently, the expression on his face remained unchanged.There was a layer of ice-cold in his eyes.

Second Master Wen listened impatiently to Wen Guogong's chatter, and looked at Lu Junqing who was still smiling.He sighed sympathetically, blinked his eyes, and waved his hands in front of Lu Junqing: "Ah, ah, ah, father's birthday is today, so you should worry less! Just sit and wait for us to come to pay your respects. Brother-in-law is a sensible person, and he is not like me, so you don't get annoyed by talking about it all the time!"

Wen Guogong frowned, stood up and stared at Second Master Wen angrily, his face flushed with anger.

Second Master Wen shrugged, smiled embarrassingly, and hurried forward to support Wen Guogong, but was thrown away by Wen Guogong, trembling and scolding: "You learned the rules from the dog's belly?"

"I've written down what my father-in-law said." Lu Junqing stood up with a smile, bowed to Duke Wen and saluted, seemingly ignoring the anger on Duke Wen's face at all.

Second Master Wen scratched his head and laughed a few times. Seeing his father's increasingly displeased expression, he hurriedly dragged Lu Junzhao outside while making excuses: "Father, take a break first, I'll take my brother-in-law to the yard Turn around, there are some new lotuses planted in the yard—brother-in-law, let’s go..."

Wen Guogong was so angry that his beard trembled, and he stared at Erye Wen's back with hatred, and remained silent for a long time.

Behind the main hall, there is a long corridor, behind which is the inner house.Mrs. Gu dragged Wen Shi into the house, dismissed all the maids and mothers in the room, frowned at Wen Shi and asked, "There is still no movement?"

Wen's mouth twitched feebly.

Madam Gu frowned even more when she saw this. "Didn't you say that you've taken care of yourself in the south? It's been half a year since you all came back, haven't you been together often?"

Wen's face froze, then he frowned at Madam Gu and said, "What did mother ask?"

Madam Gu looked at the confusion in Wen's eyes, sighed worriedly, and persuaded earnestly: "You are not too young, Junqing is also in his early thirties, you must have an heir in your house. Don't blame your mother for talking too much, woman, you have to have a child to gain a firm foothold. Fortunately, Junqing has a plan in mind and respects you. However, the Lu family's heirs are difficult, and now the prince and concubine are looking forward to having one Grandchildren."

A trace of loneliness and sarcasm flashed in Wen's eyes, he stared at Mrs. Gu and replied impatiently: "I don't need my mother to tell me about it, I understand it myself."

Mrs. Gu looked at Wen's hesitantly, then sighed wistfully, and had to change the subject first: "How is your relationship with that girl from the Lin family? I've met that girl before, and she's a successful one too." .”

"It's just an orphan girl with a bad fate," Wen sneered and snorted, "It's a good thing the family still treats her as a treasure!"

Mrs. Gu looked at Wen in astonishment when she heard the words, then her face darkened, she stood up, looked down at Wen from above, and reprimanded sharply: "This is something you can say as a sister-in-law? That girl entered Lu's house The door is from the Lu family. You are a sister-in-law, so you have to be tolerant! If someone listens to you, and you gossip behind your back, do you still want your reputation?"

Seeing Wen's pale face, Mrs. Gu couldn't bear it, sighed in her heart, frowned and asked helplessly, "Did that girl from the Lin family provoke you?"

Wen's mouth opened and was about to speak, but when the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back abruptly, his face froze, and then he laughed coldly.

"What can she annoy me? Didn't my mother say that I am a sister-in-law, so I have to be tolerant. The second brother and sister are also very popular with the second brother. The prince and princess have always favored the second brother, and now they naturally feel that Hello, second daughter-in-law. What can I be dissatisfied with?"

"What you said," Mrs. Gu sighed again and again, looking at Wen's lovingly and helplessly to persuade, "Just tell me that in the Xining Palace, you have to put down your temper. Lu Erlang He is the youngest son, and he has been in the north all year round. It is reasonable for Princess Wei and King Xining to talk a little more. Didn’t you mention Lu Erlang’s marriage before? Princess Wei is anxious about this day, don’t you still want to match Matching up your uncle's fourth girl and Lu Erlang? This daughter-in-law finally married back. It's no wonder that Princess Wei is partial. You have never been so impolite, why are you angry about this now? ?”

Wen's body froze slightly, the sarcasm in his eyes froze for a moment, then he twitched the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly: "What right do I have to lose my temper? The princess and the prince are still waiting for this little daughter-in-law to give birth to a grandson! Let's go to the temple If you pray to Buddha, you will be able to worship a grandson, but I am not so lucky!"

Mrs. Gu heard Wen's words getting more and more wrong. Her own daughter couldn't understand, but she could only sigh helplessly in her heart.Her daughter has been married for ten years and has no heirs, so she is really bitter.If she had a son, why would she still care about that girl of the Lin family.

"Okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous it is!" Madam Gu sighed irritably, rubbing her forehead, "It's only right that you take good care of yourself and Junqing."

Wen Shi pursed his lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Gu shook her head, and was silent for a moment. She seemed to think of something, and then said something else: "Did your father tell you about your third sister?"

Wen's complexion changed slightly, and then she nodded impatiently and interrupted Mrs. Gu: "I said it earlier. My mother also persuaded my father. Our family is also a duke's mansion, and even if we are demoted to a lower rank, we still have the background. Your Majesty Now that we are in good health, we don't need to mess with the princes, so we won't get into trouble."

"Did Junqing say that?" Looking at Wen's face, Mrs. Gu frowned and asked, before waiting for Wen's answer, she sighed again, holding Wen's hand and sighing in distress and helplessness. "Although my mother doesn't know much about the outside world, she also knows that it makes sense. But in our house, look at your eldest brother, who is in his thirties, spends his days drinking and drinking... It's also my fault for not teaching him well. You The second elder brother is obedient, honest, and straightforward. He doesn't have a job yet, and I'm afraid he can't support the Wen family. Fortunately, you have two nephews, and your father only wants to plan for these two children. Plan. After all, the first prince takes up a long word, and the biological mother is also a member of the Gu family, don't forget, the mother is also surnamed Gu, this relationship is not so easy to tear apart..."

The corners of Wen's mouth twitched up when she heard this, and she smiled wryly in her heart, a layer of powerlessness and sourness flooded her eyes.Her surname is Wen, and she has to worry about the Wen family.

Mrs. Gu sighed again and again, and finally patted Wen's hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Since it was Junqing who spoke, don't say more. Your father is a man, and he doesn't understand what we women do." Difficulties. It’s about the Prince’s Mansion in Xining. You are euphemistically persuading Junqing to pay more attention to the matter in the north. After all, he is the eldest son, and he will be appointed as a prince in the future. You can’t hand over all the north to Lu Erlang..." (unfinished To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
