Chapter 233
"Why have you been so depressed these days?"
Ge Baoer sent a cup of soup to Lu Zhengliu's study.
He was distracted again, and an ink ball dripped from his pen.
Now that the road to become a military commander is dead, he is still studying. Even if he fails to pass the examination, he can learn some Western books and the Five Classics, so that he can have something to say with his children in the future.
Lu Zhengliu put down his pen and asked coldly: "What are you here for?"
It's not like he didn't like her coming to his study.
Ge Baoer went in with a smile: "Uncle, I'm here to tell you about the Lin family's marriage. My mother said that she told the Chang family everything she needed to say."
"Oh, is it so?"
Lu Zhengliu looked at her.
Ge Baoer nodded: "If Mr. Lin's marriage happens this time, I will ask for a handful of wedding candies." Putting the soup on the table, she said with emotion: "If Mr. Lin gets fame in this subject, The marriage has been arranged again, what a double happiness!"
Lu Zhengliu raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "Don't you know if there is any happy event?"
Ge Baoer was stunned: "What do you mean, uncle?"
Lu Zhengliu was too lazy to talk in circles with her, "The Chang family no longer intends to meet with the Lin family. Didn't your mother, Mrs. Chen, tell you?"
Ge Baoer pursed his lips.
She didn't feel guilty. She lowered her head and opened the lid. The heat was coming out. She frowned and said, "It's a pity. My mother always said good things about Mr. Lin in front of Mrs. Chang."
"Uncle, how did you know that the two families were no longer on each other? Did the Lin family tell you? Did the Lin family tell you why the Chang family suddenly changed their minds?"
Lu Zhengliu looked at her and laughed.
He whispered very suddenly: "I wish I had discovered that you are such a person..."
He would not have wronged Yun Wan, and would not have caused so much unhappiness for Ge Baoer and Yun Wan.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?"
Lu Zhengliu twitched his lips: "It's nothing."
He warned Ge Baoer: "Don't interfere in the Lin family's affairs anymore. Yun Yi is about to take the exam. If he has another accident that affects the exam, I won't let you go."
Ge Baoer was very angry. She asked coldly: "You think it's me?"
She said angrily: "I obviously mean well——"
"Kindly?"
Lu Zhengliu interrupted her: "The marriage between Yun Yi and the Chang family has been canceled. Is this your kindness?"
"You know whether you're kind or not."
There was only a trace of panic in Ge Baoer's heart.
But now that she is in the Lu family, she is confident!
"Uncle, the Lin family is weak and the Chang family doesn't like Lin Yunyi. No matter how nice my mother said in the past, it's useless."
"It's not my fault!"
Lu Zhengliu lowered his head and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Ge Baoer couldn't stand his cold look, as if he couldn't see her!
She was shaking with anger: "Uncle, since the moment I came in, you have only asked about the Lin family. Qing'er is your biological son! You didn't even ask him how he was studying in Mingshan Academy. How was he doing? OK!"
Lu Zhengliu said lightly: "I don't have only one son. I have to take care of everyone. How about being the matron of the house, so I, a man, can do it."
Ge Baoer was speechless!
She laughed at herself: "Yes...you have more sons now."
What he loves most is his adopted son Lu Changgong.
Lu Zhengliu stood up and wanted to go out.
Ge Baoer still couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhengliu pushed her away: "Didn't you say that I don't care about the children? I'm going to see my daughter."
Ge Baoer couldn't stay in the study any longer.
When he arrived at Zhu Qing's place, Lu Zhengliu laughed: "Mu'er, come to dad."
Mu'er also wears her hair in a bun, with delicate eyebrows and beautiful eyes. She looks like a legitimate lady who was raised in a scholarly family.
Zhuqing said to her, "Mu'er, I'm calling you."
Mu'er glanced at Zhu Qing before leaving the bed, walked up to Lu Zhengliu and saluted: "My daughter has met her father."
Lu Zhengliu wanted to hug her, but Mu'er didn't want to: "Father, my daughter is getting older. My aunt said that men and women sit on different tables when they are seven years old, and Mu'er can no longer let her father hold her."
Lu Zhengliu was very disappointed.
After Yun Wan's death, he was devastated. He didn't care about the family affairs, and he didn't want to take care of his children. When he regained his consciousness, his daughter had stopped kissing him.
He touched Mu'er's bun and said with a smile, "You won't be able to wear your bun like this for long."
Mu'er was blessed and retreated, next to Zhu Qing, and said to Lu Zhengliu, "Because my daughter has grown up."
Zhu Qing hugged her daughter and said, "Uncle, this child Mu'er is timid, please don't let go..."
Lu Zhengliu raised his hand to tell her not to say anything further. He was tolerant to both Zhuqing and Muer: "She is my daughter, I won't trust her."
"Young Master."
Tong Liu saluted outside.
Lu Changgong is here.
He picked up the curtain and came in. He was smiling slightly. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengliu was here. His expression paled a lot and he came in and said, "Father."
Lu Zhengliu nodded and said, "Come to see Mu'er?"
Lu Changgong nodded, took a few books in his hand, walked in and put them on the table, saying: "Mu'er wants to read, I found a few books and sent them over."
Lu Zhengliu patted him on the shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "You are about to take the provincial examination. Why don't you come here in person for such a small matter and let the servants do the errands?"
Lu Changgong looked at Mu'er lovingly and said, "I have to deliver this girl myself."
Mu'er already looked at Lu Changgong and blinked.
She smiled and shouted: "Brother!"
Lu Changgong nodded slightly and said softly: "These few books are enough for you to read for a while. I have an exam in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. You should stay at home and don't cry."
Mu'er nodded obediently: "I won't cry. Mu'er knows that the eldest brother wants to be named on the gold list. Mu'er is waiting at home for others to come to congratulate him with gongs and drums."
"Who taught you this?"
Lu Zhengliu smiled, this girl was so lively in front of his eldest son.
Mu'er glanced at him and whispered, "My aunt taught me."
Lu Zhengliu knew that his daughter was afraid of him.
He didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up: "Your aunt taught me well, these are all good words. You can continue talking."
Before leaving, he patted Lu Changgong on the shoulder.
He had something to say to Longbow.
Lu Changgong waited for Lu Zhengliu to leave, then bowed and left: "Auntie, Mu'er, I'm leaving first."
Zhuqing stood up with Mu'er to see him off. Mu'er reluctantly pulled on his sleeve and said, "Brother, hurry up and finish the exam. Mu'er is waiting for you to take me out to play."
Lu Changgong touched her bun, smiled lightly and said to Zhuqing, "Auntie, let her change her bun after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
After watching it for several years, I'm tired of it.
Zhuqing agreed immediately and said, "Young master, please take the exam with peace of mind. Mu'er will be a good boy."
Lu Changgong nodded and went out to chase Lu Zhengliu.
Zhu Qing hugged Mu'er and said, "You will be so close to the young master from now on, do you understand?"
Mu'er nodded: "Mom, I like my eldest brother the most. He is also the best to me."
Zhu Qing kissed her on the face, pinched her cheek and sighed: "You girl, you were born with a good destiny. I don't know how you were reborn, but you actually look twice like our wife..."
"Mom, who is the madam? Aunt Ge?"
Mu'er was still ignorant. She had heard gossip from her servants about things at home, but she had never heard her biological mother talk about it, so she didn't know much.
"Bah! The person named Ge is a despicable thing! She deserves to be compared with Madam!"
Zhuqing didn't want to say unpleasant words in front of her daughter, so she immediately said: "Madam is your eldest brother's mother, and she is the best person in the world. Just look at your eldest brother and you will know that he has the shadow of Madam in him now."
Mu'er asked curiously: "Mom, where is that lady? Can I see her? I want to see my eldest brother's mother!"
Zhu Qing shook her head and said with red eyes: "I can't see her anymore. I can't see her either... If you see her, you should call her mother."
She suddenly thought that the Lin family had already taken the letter of departure for the dead wife, and smiled sadly: "No, you can't call her mother, she is no longer from the Lu family. She is just... just your eldest brother's mother. "
That love only exists in their hearts and has nothing to do with the Lu family.
Outside.
Lu Zhengliu wanted to see Mrs. Lu, so he and Lu Changgong walked together but stopped talking.
Lu Changgong didn't want to ask about Lu Zhengliu's thoughts.
When he reached the second door, he said: "Father, I went to the front yard to study."
Lu Zhengliu nodded, but couldn't help but call him, "Long Gong, I, I think I saw... her."
"who?"
Lu Changgong's voice was low.
Lu Zhengliu opened his mouth, feeling sour in his heart: "Your mother. That person... looks very much like her."
"Where did father see it?"
Lu Changgong's tone was very calm.
"I saw it at Red Elephant Temple."
Lu Zhengliu smiled bitterly: "Maybe I made a mistake. How could it be her? She has already..."
Already dead.
Lu Changgong sighed and nodded: "Father must have made a mistake."
He bowed: "My son is gone."
"Um."
As soon as he walked out of the second door, Lu Changgong's fingertips were trembling.
Mother is back.
His mother is back!
Does mother still...remember him?
He didn't dare to think about it.
