Chapter 48
Mrs. Lu said, and sighed again: "In the early years, your fifth aunt and grandmother often sent letters to the capital, and there were always gifts at four o'clock and eight festivals. I can still know her current situation, and when your fifth aunt and grandfather passes away After that, her letters came less and less, and there was no more news after that. Even the news of your cousin's death, I heard about it from other people. I thought I would never hear from her again in my lifetime. I don't think that her grandson came to the door today, it is really a surprise, and I don't know how my old sister has been doing well these years, I will have to ask him when I see that child later."

After the sisters Lu Mingfeng listened carefully, they asked another guest who came today: "Then what is the origin of the grandson of an old friend in Linzhou?"

Mrs. Lu said: "Have you ever heard that when the late emperor was in power, there was a commoner chief assistant who, because of his outstanding achievements, was granted the title of Marquis of Guangping by the kindness of the late emperor when he became an official? That's right, it was that Prime Minister Ling, whose ancestral home is Lin Zhou, it's a pity that he passed away in the fourth year of his official career. Back then, the late emperor specially granted Ling Xiang's tablet to enter the famous minister's pavilion. The grandson of the old friend who came today is undoubtedly the grandson of Ling Xiang. I don't know. How did these two children come together?"

Lu Mingfeng smiled and said, "Wait a while, when grandfather and father bring people in to kowtow to grandmother, won't you know everything just by asking?"

Mrs. Lu nodded, and said: "When your grandfather met Ling Xiang, Ling Xiang had just won the exam, and he was not even a Jinshi, but his knowledge and demeanor made your grandfather greatly admired, and they have been friends since then. When Ling Xiangxian passed away, your grandfather was still sad for a long time, saying that 'losing a confidant is really a sad event in a lifetime', seeing Ling Xiang's grandson today is also a form of comfort..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard the maid's voice from outside: "Greetings to the old man, greetings to the old man, greetings to the old man."

Then the curtain was lifted, and a gust of cold air wrapped in snowflakes came in. A tall, energetic old man in his fifties walked in with strides. The boys in our family are tall and thick, don’t they look pleasing to the eye just standing there? Today, I’ll show my wife that a boy can also be pleasing to the eye, no less than a girl!” It was the old Duke Ding Lu Duo.

Behind him was a man in his thirties who looked about five or six points similar to him. He was the current Duke of Ding, Lu Zhongmian. As a person, Lu Zhongmian is obviously a bit more elegant, and because he has been in a high position for a long time, he is in the prime of his life, and his gestures and gestures reveal the calmness of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly led a group of granddaughters to present to the old man, and when the old man said, "Excuse me", she and the old man sat down on the upper couch on the left and right. After Lu Zhongmian's ceremony, Fang asked: "Didn't you say that the grandsons of my Fifth Sister and Ling Xiang's grandsons are all here? Why don't you see anyone?"

The old man laughed and said, "Ma'am, what's the rush? I asked Wen Ting to lead Hou outside, so let him come in, but let's talk about it first, don't lose your temper when you see the two children later, This is in front of a room full of juniors!"

Mrs. Lu heard the words, and said angrily: "Whatever the old man said, it seems like I am an ignorant village woman who has never seen the world. I have lived in my fifties, even if I dare not say that the world I haven't seen anything I haven't seen before, but I won't lose my composure easily, but since the old man said so, I really want to see what these two children have that deserves my gaffe."

The old man smiled and said nothing, just glanced at Lu Zhongmian, and Lu Zhongmian said to the outside: "Wen Ting, why don't you bring your two younger brothers in?"

"Yes, Father." With a clear male voice, the lights in the whole room seemed to jump, and Lu Wenting, the uncle of Duke Ding's Mansion, had already led the two teenagers in.

The whole room could instantly hear the sound of a needle dropping, only occasionally someone's breathing could be heard.

As a reborn "prophet of the unknown", Lu Mingxuan already knew who one of the visitors was Mrs. Lu's nephew, because of the latter's previous life. She also came to the Duke's Mansion at about the same time as now - originally the latter and Lu Mingxuan were in the outer court and the other in the inner court, and they didn't see each other several times a year, so she probably didn't know much about the latter, but later The one who passed the government and township examinations in one fell swoop in his previous life became a rare juvenile candidate in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, Mrs. Lu made the decision and betrothed Lu Mingya to him. Suicide caused a great uproar, so that in the end the marriage had to be let go. Not only did Dingguo's family know about it, but it was also spread to the outside world. That's why Lu Mingxuan's impression was so deep.

It's just that Lu Mingxuan didn't have any impression of another guest who came today, and what she didn't expect was that the other party would be so handsome that she would have a feeling of déjà vu for no reason.

As far as handsome men are concerned, Lu Mingxuan has seen a lot in her previous life, not to mention the young masters of the Duke's Mansion. A rare handsome man, not to mention He Zhixing, Rao Lu Mingxuan hated him to the core now, and had to admit that He Zhixing really had a good skin, one of the "Shuangbi of the Capital" was by no means a waste false name.

But compared to the young man in front of him, Lu Mingxuan immediately felt that "Twin Walls of the Capital" was nothing.

The eyes of the person in front of him are like stars, his face is like a crown of jade, he looks like a phoenix, and he is like a pearl and fairy dew. It's no wonder that the people in the room suddenly quieted down in unison, the visual impact is too great.

In comparison, the uncle of the Lu family, Lu Wenting, and the other boy who came in together with this young man seemed much overshadowed. Although the two of them were also born like a tree facing the wind, one in a million, but when the three of them stood together, everyone's eyes They will unknowingly look at the former, and unknowingly ignore the latter two. The old man just told Mrs. Lu to "don't lose your temper when you see two children later", obviously it was more aimed at him .

"How about it, ma'am, now you finally understand why I reminded you not to lose your temper just now? Don't talk about you, I even caught this child when I saw him just now. I don't think that Ling Xiujin's appearance is not as good as mine. God is really unfair to give birth to such a handsome grandson!" I don't know how long it took until the old man's laughing voice sounded, and the people in the room came back to their senses one after another as if they had just woken up from a dream. Come on, come to understand that this young man is Ling Xiang's grandson.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help blushing, and said with a smile: "You can't blame me, who made this child born so well, I have lived most of my life, and I have never seen such a well-born boy, he is even more handsome than the girl's family. , It’s understandable for me to catch it for a while.” After finishing speaking, he waved to the boy, “Good boy, come here, let’s talk to each other, what’s your name? How old are you this year? What book? Is this visit to the capital for sightseeing or to visit friends?"
