Wei Wuhou

Chapter 613 The Death of Lu Qingliang 2
(How should I put it!! Let’s vote for more recommendation votes. After writing for so long, I don’t even have [-] recommendation votes!!)

The news that Marquis Wei wanted to mourn the dead in person in the palace caused a small earthquake in the upper echelons of Wu'an.

For the aristocratic family, Lu Qingliang himself is of no importance in the court, so they care more about the attitude revealed by Marquis Wei.

You must know that Lu Qingliang was the middle force in the reform faction back then, and Wei Hou is now going to fight for him, which inevitably makes people think too much.

What's more, this time is a critical period of wrestling among the poor families of the aristocratic family, and it is even more targeted to stop the court and pay homage to the reformers.

But when the people of the family were having a headache, the poor family also had complicated feelings about Lu Qingliang's death. It involved not only the relationship of interests, but also the forgotten feelings at the beginning.

After Marquis Wei went to Lu Mansion in person to express his condolences that afternoon, Xu Anhong, one of the old buddies, also rushed here.

He went there very low-key, and even invited Wei Wuji to go with him.

After the reform was suspended, Xu Anhong seldom came to this old friend, both because of shame and resentment.

When Tan Shiyun presided over the reform and failed, Xu Anhong, who was a supporter, watched the Dan family perish and did not stand up to fight, so he was ashamed to face his old buddy Xu Anhong back then.

However, Xu Anhong himself also believed that if Lu Qingliang had remonstrated with Marquis Wei strongly and carried the pressure to carry out the reform to the end, there would be nothing later.

But now, no matter who was right and who was wrong at the beginning, with the passing of Lu Qingliang himself, all grievances and grievances are gone.

When he came outside Lu's mansion, he saw that the inside and outside of the gate were completely deserted, and the woman's weeping could be vaguely heard from outside.

Outside the gate, the old servant of Lu's mansion saw a distinguished guest coming, so he immediately ran to the mansion to report.

And after getting off the carriage, Xu Anhong and Wei Wuji handed over their greeting cards, and soon a young man in plain clothes came out.

"Is it Huan Lin?" Looking at the young man who came out, Xu Anhong greeted uncertainly.

After the visitor walked down the steps of the mansion, he bowed to Wei Wuji and the two of them: "Greetings to Lord Wu Yang and Xu Zhuguo!"

Seeing that the young man didn't answer his words, Xu Anhong knew that he had admitted the wrong person. It seemed that the son of the old man had a lot of resentment towards him.

But this situation made Wei Wuji feel embarrassed, and he also saw that this young man who was not a few years older than himself had a strange attitude towards Xu Anhong.

But at this time, Wei Wuji was the most respected, so he raised his hand and said: "Excuse me...Mr. Lu is a great sage in the country, and we two are here to pay our respects!"

Talking about his father, the young man's expression became more sorrowful, and after wiping his own tears, he bowed to Wei Wuji: "My lord, please..."

Afterwards, under the leadership of this young man, Wei Wuji and the two went to the Lu Mansion, but at this time Xu Anhong followed Wei Wuji in.

During the conversation on the road, Wei Wuji knew that the young man was named Lu Huanlin, and that he was the only son of Lu Qingliang.

After passing through the double courtyards, Wei Wuji came to Lu Qingliang's mourning hall. Apart from seven or eight women and children, there was not even a maidservant here.

Combined with the old servants outside Lu's mansion, and the two busy middle-aged maidservants whom he saw just now when he entered the mansion, Wei Wuji can now conclude that this close friend of the Marquis of Wei is living in such a difficult situation.

Kneeling in the mourning hall, apart from Lu Qingliang's wife, the rest are Lu Huanlin's wife and children.

After seeing Wei Wuji and Xu Anhong coming in, they bowed to them,
The sacrifice in this world is different from that in Wei Wuji's previous life. Visitors only need to bow and pay respects, and there is no need to offer a stick of incense.

Wei Wuji first returned the salute to the women and children of the Lu family, then took a step forward, and then bowed slightly.He is not only the honor of the son, but also the position of the emperor, and a slight bow is enough.

After Wei Wuji withdrew, Xu Anhong stood still in place, staring at the spirit seat in front of him in a daze.

As a bystander, Wei Wuji couldn't imagine what Xu Anhong was thinking in his heart. Perhaps, like Wei Hou, it was the infinite memory of his best friend.

After a long time, Xu Anhong stepped forward and saluted the undead.

After getting up, Xu Anhong turned around and said to Wei Wuji: "My lord, let's go..."

Wei Wuji nodded, glanced at Lu Huanlin beside him who was thinking about something, and followed Xu Anhong directly to the outside of the mourning hall.

But when they walked to the center of the courtyard, they heard Lu Huanlin's voice behind him saying: "Xu Zhuguo stay here, my late father has something for you!"

Xu Anhong stopped immediately, then turned around, looked at Lu Huanlin on the steps and said, "Where is it?"

Lu Huanlin walked down the steps slowly, took out a letter from his arms, and slowly handed it to Xu Anhong.

However, looking at the object handed over by the opposite side, Xu Anhong's hands seemed tense, unable to raise his hand to take it for a while.

Xu Anhong didn't accept it, so Lu Huanlin just handed it over.

In the end, Xu Anhong sighed, and said, "You don't need to read this letter, but I will keep it with you temporarily!"

Faced with this result, Wei Wuji couldn't help being a little surprised that Xu Anhong would not answer.

But who knows, Lu Huanlin laughed at this time, and then he heard him say: "My late father really expected it, General Zhu Guo really won't accept this letter!"

Xu Anhong sighed, and then said: "The grievances between me and him are now a thing of the past, why bother to dwell on it!"

Yes, when Lu Qingliang got to know him, Xu Anhong also knew his old friend very well, so he could also guess the content of the letter.

Regarding Xu Anhong's words, Lu Huanlin himself did not comment much, but solemnly said: "My late father also said that it is fine for General Zhu Guo not to read it, but you can leave the letter as a souvenir!"

After thinking about it, Xu Anhong did not refuse the proposal, and then he naturally took the letter into his hand, and then put it in his sleeve.

But just when Xu Anhong was about to turn around and leave, Lu Huanlin stopped him again, and said, "Fifth Young Master, Xu Zhuguo...my late father left more than just this letter!"

Wei Wuji still couldn't sense the meaning of these words, but Xu Anhong immediately asked: "Is there a letter? Where is it? Who is it for?"

Seeing Xu Anhong's excited look, Lu Huanlin was not surprised at all, because this was also within his father's expectation.

He only heard him answer: "The other letter is written to the emperor, and it must be somewhere in the palace at this time!"

Hearing that it was written to Marquis Wei, Xu Anhong's expression changed again, and he asked eagerly: "Before your father died, did you know about the court?"

Lu Huanlin nodded, and then continued: "Father said... Even if this is the last time to help you, it is still worthy of the consensus of working together!"

After hearing this, Xu Anhong remained silent for a long time, and Wei Wuji didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know all the grievances and enmities between that generation.

After a long time, I heard Xu Anhong sigh: "Qing Liang's mind, I am not as good as it!"

After saying this, Xu Anhong bowed deeply in the direction of the mourning hall.

Before leaving, Xu Anhong also said to Lu Huanlin: "If my nephew has something to do in the future, you can come to my house directly!"

…………

After leaving Xu's residence, Wei Wuji was still at a loss as to the situation of the other party, so he heard Xu Anhong say to him: "My lord, today's court affairs seem to have a turning point!"

Wei Wuji's heart trembled, Weihou would help his unfavored son under pressure?Why?
Just based on that letter from Lu Qingliang?
If this is the case, then the gift just now in the mourning hall would have paid off too quickly.
