From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 237 I miss her
Raising her hand to signal the maidservant who was following her to stop, Mrs. Lu stepped forward and asked softly, "Old man, what are you thinking about sitting here? You are so engrossed in your thoughts that you didn't even see me coming in."

Seeing her husband's expression is not good, Mrs. Lu probably guessed it.

Hearing the sound, the old Lu Guogong smiled instinctively, stretched out his hand and took the old woman's hand habitually, took her to sit down and said: "I didn't think about it, you are not in good health, it is cold outside, why did you come to the front hall? "

Today is colder than yesterday. Although there is no wind, it is dry and cold, and the weather is gloomy. It seems that a heavy snow is brewing.

Touching the old woman's hand seemed a little cold, Duke Lu raised his hand and said to the maid standing outside: "Go and bring two braziers."

My wife is afraid of the cold. She was afraid of the cold when she was young, and she is even more afraid of the cold when she is old.And as long as it was winter in the past two years, she hardly ever left her bedroom.The bedroom is covered with earth dragons, and there is a brazier in the meeting place, so it is not cold at all, and you will not get sick because of catching a cold.

The maid standing outside took orders to get the brazier quickly. Mrs. Lu touched her husband's hand and said, "It's okay, it's not very cold. Why are you sitting here alone? Do you miss that girl Yuzhen?"

Lu Yuzhen is the only daughter of their husband and wife, Mei Zhannan's first wife, and also their life-like baby lump that their daughters love because they are old.

Sighing before saying anything, the old Lu Guogong's face was full of sadness, and he said quietly: "In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and I don't know how Zhen'er is doing there, whether she has been reincarnated. Last night I dreamed I saw her, and said that I missed that child Jinze. Liangzhou was bitterly cold and wars continued, this time even the child Zhannan was seriously injured and unconscious, next time... oh..."

He has a deep understanding of the blindness of swords and swords on the battlefield, but Mei Jinze is the eldest son, the only son of General Mei, he can't stop him, let alone let him come back.

King Liang is a hereditary title, and each generation of King Liang must lead troops to guard Liangzhou.Mei Jinze is the first son of Prince Liang, and also the only son, so he will definitely support the family and take charge of the 30 Mei family army in the future.

There are no cowards in the Mei family army, let alone the general who leads the army, so he can't cut off his grandson's future for his own sake, let alone break the rules of the Mei family and let him not lead the army.

Madam Lu also misses her only grandson, but she dare not show it, especially at this time.Seeing that her husband was worried, she squeezed his hand tightly and said, "Who was uninjured on the battlefield? Didn't Jinze write a letter back? The son-in-law was injured this time because there was a traitor in the army. Now the traitor has been caught. What are you worried about. Old man, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, if you are still worried, we can send some people to protect Jinze."

There are still hidden guards in the Duke's Mansion with a century-old foundation, and he doesn't know how many people he has sent to his grandson over the years.It's just that the battlefield is dangerous, and he is close to death, so he can really rest assured.

Seeing that his wife was worried about him, Duke Lu immediately smiled wryly and said: "Madam said yes, I am the one who made the appearance. Qingchuan is back, and I will send some people to him when he returns. Speaking of which, we are both 70 years old this year. My old friends are all gone, sometimes I think, it’s Yuzhen’s lifespan that we can live so long.”

At this point, he lowered his head, feeling as if he was scratching his heart with a thousand claws.He had a daughter when he was old, and he only had a daughter at the age of 40. He originally thought that she would grow up healthy, get married safely, and live well in her husband's house. In the future, she would grow old with Mei Zhannan like the two of them.But who knows that something unexpected happened, the beauty was unlucky, and she died.

Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is tantamount to digging out the hearts of their husband and wife and killing them.Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't the one who died. If he could choose and replace him, he would choose to let his daughter live without hesitation.

Life for life, not to mention he is willing, his wife is also willing.

Feeling sad, the old Lu Guogong tightly held his wife's hand, looked up at her and said hesitantly: "My wife, I...I miss Yuzhen."

Immediately, his eyes were red.

Mrs. Lu Guogong didn't think about it, but what's the use of thinking about it, after all, heaven and man are separated by yin and yang.Seeing the tears in her husband's eyes, Mrs. Lu's nose was sore, she put her arms around her husband's waist and leaned against his chest, and said softly: "I know, I miss her too, but we can't see her yet. Jin Ze has not yet married a wife, and we haven't seen him marry a wife yet, if she asks her when he goes underground, what shall we say?"

Her 40-year-old childbirth injured her body, and her bones have always been bad. If she hadn't been cared for all these years, and her children and grandchildren were filial and never irritated her, she would have passed away long ago.

Of course, the most important thing is to worry about the old man.Therefore, she also cooperated with the doctor to take care of her body. Even though she was sad because of her daughter's early death, she still survived time and time again.

Speaking of his grandson marrying a wife, Duke Lu forced back the tears from his eyes.Nodding his head, he tightly wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulders, and said, "Yes, yes, Jinze hasn't married a wife yet. When Yuzhen left, I promised to pick a good girl for him. Old lady, You asked if the eldest daughter-in-law is a good girl in this capital?"

Mei Jinze grew up in the army, her temper was very similar to Mei Zhannan's, she was upright and upright, she had to find a girl who was upright and able to take care of things and was polite and sensible.

It was said that Cao Cao had arrived, and Xu, the eldest daughter-in-law of Duke Lu Guo, hurried over when she got the news.Seeing that the eyes of the old couple were red as if they had cried, a heart instantly rose to their throats.

She stepped forward to salute with a slight smile, and she said: "Father, mother, why are you here? The front hall is cold, why don't you let me know when you come, so that I can put the brazier on in advance."

Putting the hand stove in her hand directly into Mrs. Lu's hand, Mrs. Xu took off the cloak she was wearing and put it on for her.

It wasn't the first time the eldest daughter-in-law saw the loving scene of husband and wife, Mrs. Lu didn't care.Leaving her husband's arms, she said: "I'm wearing a jacket, it's not cold, you should wear it, you'll catch a cold later."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and was about to push it away.

Mrs. Xu married into the Lu family for decades and has never been troubled by her mother-in-law. She is sincerely filial to her, and said with a busy smile: "Mother forgot, I am most afraid of heat, and today I am wearing a jacket, so I am not cold at all. Mother, father, Qingchuan is not an outsider, why did you come to wait in the front hall?"

After putting on the cloak for her, Mrs. Xu took another hand stove from the servant girl and handed it to the old Lu Guogong.

Old Lu Guogong is a man, he has never used a hand stove at this age, he waved his hand to signal that he doesn't need it, and then said: "I miss Jinze, I am anxious to see Qingchuan, your mother is worried about me, so she followed me."
