The lucky star of rebirth

Chapter 183 Recognition
Ji Yi and the old man looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Ji Songxian who supported Ji Yi and said: "Father, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk about something."

The old man also wiped his tears and forced a smile: "Yes, go into the room and talk, go into the room and talk."

A few people entered the room at once, and the young man brought tea with a smile, Ji Yiguan had a handsome face, his words and deeds were calm, and he liked him a little, he asked with a smile: "What's your name, how old are you? "

The young man spoke quickly: "The young one is called Lu Zhenghai, and he is fifteen this year."

The old man pointed at the young man: "This is my little grandson. A few years ago, he begged for grace and released his life deed. Now he is learning to read and write with his husband."

Speaking of this, the old man said to the young man: "It's none of your business here, go out and be naughty."

The young man went out in response, and after he left, the old man's eye circles turned red again, and he choked up for a long time before he said, "I was young when I was kidnapped, and I was often beaten by traffickers. After a long time, I forgot my last name." What, I was later sold to the Jiang family as a slave. I was young when I was sold, and I was taller and smarter. A gentleman in the Jiang family accountant liked my cleverness and asked me to wait in front of me. When I grow up, I see that I have a good heart, so I often teach me to read and teach me how to do accounts."

Ji Yi knew that the old man might want to tell where he came from, so he listened very seriously, Wu Shi and Ji Songxian sat beside him also silent.

I heard the old man continue: "When I grow up, several old accountants will return to their hometown when they are old. A girl from the Jiang family, I didn't know what I thought at the time, I didn't want to marry those families who had children, so I asked for grace and married a third-class girl who was also bought to serve her."

Speaking of this, the old man sighed: "However, I still remember that I have a family, a business, and parents, and my parents love me very much. Unlike others, they were all sold by my parents. I just thought about this." No matter what happens in my life, I have to go back to find my parents and family members. With this reason, I have been patient, and finally gained the trust of Jiang's family members, and was sent out to be the shopkeeper of the shop, so I spent more time walking outside."

"What happened next?" Seeing the old man drooping his head and wiping his tears, Ji Yi waited for a while before asking.

The old man raised his head and laughed forcefully: "Later, I had a son and a daughter. While looking for family members, I had to make plans for my children. My daughter didn't want her to serve others, so she begged the master to let her out and marry a richer farmer. If you want to train your grandson to read and write, so that you can get a good name in the future, it is difficult for your son to do it. Fortunately, my son is filial. Ten years ago, my eldest son was also released to be a shopkeeper. We both looked for my origin. , although I don’t remember the name, but I do remember where my hometown is, a place called Guxian, and there is a hundred-year-old locust tree at the entrance of the village, where my family lives in the village.”

The old man stared at Ji Yi for a long time, feeling quite sad: "I told my sons, we all searched together, and one day, my eldest son went out to work for the master's family, and it happened to be in Gu County. , I spent my spare time inquiring about it, and finally found my hometown, but my eldest son asked many old people, and he knew which village I came from, but when I searched for it, my parents were gone..."

Speaking of this, the old man was sobbing, and it took a long time to calm down: "My eldest son told me when he came back that I was afraid that I was a brother with a man who was an official in Jinling and had a bright future. I didn't believe it at first, but later After inquiring for a long time, I believed it. However, I am a slave of the Jiang family, a lowly citizen, and you were a promising servant of the household department at that time. If people know that you have an elder brother who is a slave to others, who will I know what will happen, and besides, the people of the Jiang family are not very kind, if they manipulate our family and ask you to do things... I thought it was terrible when I thought about it at that time, after all, I have been like this all my life, I can't call my brother Followed my back, and endured it until a few days ago when I went to the mansion to pay my respects, and listened to what the third master of the Jiang family said about Ji Xiang's death, I paid attention..."

Ji Yi listened to the old man tell the events of these years and his thoughts little by little. In addition, he also told all the things that the Jiang family wanted to harm him. Some letters.

"What's your name now?" Ji Yi asked after a long time.

The old man smiled wryly: "I didn't know what my surname was. When the traffickers sold me, they gave me the name Lu Zhong. I have always been called this name, and all my children have the surname Lu as well."

Ji Yi also sighed: "It turns out that you and I look alike, I should have believed you, but this matter is of great importance, I have to be careful."

The old man was not annoyed: "This is what it should be."

When he looked at Ji Yi with both eyes, he became closer and closer.

Ji Yi didn't know why, but he finally got a little close in his heart, thinking that this person is really his brother, and because of his blood relationship, he was close to him?

"Can I touch your head?" Ji Yi finally made a request.

The old man smiled and agreed, and Ji Yi got up and touched his head. When he touched the back of the ears, he felt a burst of excitement: "It is, it is, I remember hearing my mother say that my brother was naughty when he was young, Once I fell down and fell to the ground, the back of the ear was cut by a stone, and a lot of blood flowed out, and I have a scar since then."

Speaking of this, Ji Yi asked the old man to take off his shoes and look at the soles of his feet. When he saw a natural triangular black mark on his left foot, he became more and more excited: "This black mark is just like what mother said, it is on the left. At the soles of the feet..."

He couldn't restrain himself for a while, and couldn't help crying: "Since my brother was abducted, my father and mother were so sad that they hurt their bodies. Later, I went there a few years after I was born. When my mother left, she was still worried. He always pulls me and tells me that I still have an elder brother whose whereabouts are unknown, and I don’t know where he is suffering. He tells me that I must find it when I grow up. He also tells me where there are marks on my elder brother. I have been searching for it all these years. , where I thought, where I wanted my brother to..."

Thinking of his elder brother being sold to other people's house as a slave, although he said it lightly, and did not say what suffering he had suffered, how could Ji Yi not know what good it is to be a slave? After a lot of rubbing and grinding, I cried more and more bitterly for a while.

At this time, Mrs. Wu also believed that the old man was his uncle, and got up and gave the old man a slight salute.

Ji Songxian stood up to comfort Ji Yi, and it took him a while to persuade Ji Yi to stop crying.

Ji Yi took Lu Zhong's hand but did not dare to let go, and said after a long time: "Even if I have found my elder brother, I naturally want to recognize each other. My elder brother has suffered a lot these years, so I can't be inferior to others in the future." I, I will go to the palace to beg Your Majesty, you can’t make my elder brother and his family all lowly, but I have to make my nephew and niece... all be decent people.”

After speaking, Ji Yi got up and said goodbye to Lu Zhong, only saying that he would definitely seek good citizenship for them.

But Lu Zhong insisted on stopping Ji Yi, sat him down and said, "It doesn't matter about leaving your nationality. The most important thing now is the Jiang family's wolfish ambition. If the Jiang family knows that I am your elder brother, how can I deal with you?" , we are also in danger in the Jiang family, but we should be more careful. Why don't we stay in the Jiang family first to find evidence of the Jiang family's rebellion, and we should work together to defeat the Jiang family. This is the time for our brothers to recognize each other. "

After all, Ji Yi has been in love for many years. Although he was very excited to see his eldest brother whom he had been unable to find for many years, he wished to take his family out immediately, but in the end, he was more rational than emotional. Hearing what Lu Zhong said was reasonable, he agreed, and After discussing with Lu Zhong for a while, he took Ji Songxian and Wu Shi away.

As soon as Ji Yi walked away, the young man named Lu Zhenghai entered the door with his back foot. When he saw Lu Zhong, he smiled and asked, "Grandpa, is that my second grandfather? Do you recognize each other?"

Lu Zhong glared at the young man unhappily: "Of course it is, but now is not the time to recognize each other."

The young man sighed slightly after hearing this, and Lu Zhong nodded his forehead: "Why are you sighing, your grandpa and I have passed by for so many years, and it's not too late, now our family has to keep our mouths tight. No one can say anything about it. In addition, you tell your mother and your sister to take care of everything, pay attention to everything in the Jiang family, and pay attention to it as soon as there is a disturbance, and leave more evidence for everything. Also, talk to your father and you The uncles said that they should also sort out the evidence of the Jiang family that we brought over these years to kill people, rob people's land, buy and sell officials, and colluded with foreign races, and when the time comes, our family will be happy. I can go away.”

The boy was very happy to hear that.

Although this Lu Zhong was a slave since he was a child, he was ambitious. In addition, the accountant who taught him back then was not a slave, but a serious scholar. He was very knowledgeable. He learned characters, but he also learned a lot of things. Therefore, since he got married and had children, he began to think about how to get rid of his nationality and how to leave a good future for future generations.

Lu Zhong's wife is a virtuous and virtuous wife who wholeheartedly listened to Lu Zhong's words. The couple also negotiated with each other. Since the eldest of the Lu family was born, the couple began to accumulate property, and then they gave their daughter a divorce. Later, they begged Mrs. Jiang's family , Released his little grandson, all for the future.

Lu Zhong is a man who values ​​friendship and great wisdom. Indeed, as he said, he knew that Ji Yi was his brother many years ago, but remembering his own identity, in order not to drag his brother down, he did not say anything about it. Originally, he was thinking of meeting Ji Yi after the family found a way to get a deed of selling their lives to get rid of their nationality in the future. How could they have thought that the Jiang family would kill Ji Yi in the end, even though the Jiang family was his master, they were kind to him. Righteousness, of course, how can it compare to the love of brothers and sisters.

Lu Zhong thought about how much his brother had lost his parents since he was a child, and how much suffering he had endured all these years before he passed the examination of scholar, and later won the Jinshi and became an official. Old Ji's family finally has a bright future, or his parents will still be famous for his brother's history in the future, how can they be willing to destroy Ji Yi's bright future, let alone let others kill Ji Yi's life for nothing, that's why Willing to take the risk to recognize Ji Yi, but also willing to sacrifice his own family to bring down the Jiang family, which is killing Ji Yi.
