Chapter 234
"He also said he would follow me to pray for blessings, but he fell asleep before he even got to Chixiang Temple."
Lin Yunwan hugged Qi Zaijun and shook her head.
When the son came out of the palace, he wanted to play everywhere, but he fell asleep in the carriage all the way.
I got off the carriage and couldn't wake up.
Mother Lu smiled and said, "Madam, give me a hug!"
Lin Yunwan nodded and gave the child to Mother Lu, while Cuiqin put a curtain hat on her.
She told Mother Lu, "I'll take Cuiqin to pray for blessings, while you take Jun'er to the wing to rest for a while."
"yes."
When they arrived at Chixiang Temple, Mother Lu went to the wing. Lin Yunwan prayed for blessings and then looked at the calligraphy.
Yun Yi said that the official script of the long bow was very similar to hers.
As soon as she arrived at Red Elephant Temple, she couldn't help but want to see the calligraphy written by Chang Gong when she was a child.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a pair of brand new door couplets, which looked very familiar.
Lin Yunwan stopped a young novice monk, frowned and asked, "Why have the couplets here been changed?"
The novice monk clasped his hands together and said at a loss: "This donor, this... poor monk must ask the abbot."
Lin Yunwan nodded.
As soon as the novice entered, he saw a young man coming out of the room. He crossed the threshold and said calmly: "It's the junior who changed it."
Lin Yunwan turned her head and looked at the young man.
The young man's eyebrows were very delicate, but his outline was very clear. He stood there quietly, not shy at all!
Longbow, the young man in front of me is a longbow!
Lin Yunwan's heart was filled with turbulent waves. Fortunately, she was wearing a curtain hat so the people next to her couldn't see her face at all.
She turned her head and looked at the new couplets on the wall, which were written in official script.
Not only does it look like her handwriting, it’s already better than her!
No wonder it looks familiar.
This is the student she taught, doesn't it look familiar to me?
Lin Yunwan spoke several times, not knowing what to say. In the end, she just nodded and praised: "The new couplets are very well written."
"Thank you, madam, for the compliment."
Lin Yunwan tightened her handkerchief and invited him: "I have also studied official script. I wonder if I have a chance to ask the young master for advice?"
"my pleasure."
Lu Changgong bowed deeply and his voice was very low.
He said: "There is a pure bamboo forest in Chixiang Temple. This... madam, please come with me."
Lin Yunwan followed him wearing a curtain hat.
Cuiqin was wary when meeting outsiders, but Lin Yunwan asked her to step back and whispered: "This young master has good calligraphy. I'll discuss a few words with him about calligraphy, and you can go and guard outside."
"yes."
Cuiqin led the people to retreat.
Lin Yunwan followed Lu Changgong to the bamboo forest, and then she took off her curtain hat. Her voice was soft and gentle: "Long Gong, the scientific examination is about to take place, why are you here?"
She couldn't help but sigh: "You have grown taller and grown up."
After a few years of separation, if it weren't for the couplet, she wouldn't have dared to recognize the child.
Lu Changgong stood with his hands behind his hands, his eyes sore and red, and he choked slightly: "You... you haven't changed much."
He should be happy thinking about his mother day and night.
But he wanted to cry.
Lu Changgong was still choking: "You are still as young as before."
Lin Yunwan smiled slightly: "I have already passed by, am I still young?"
Lu Changgong lowered his head, finally showing a trace of the shyness he had when he was a child. He pursed his thin lips and blushed: "My son has not coaxed you, and you have not aged at all."
Suddenly it occurred to him that he was no longer her son.
He looked up at Lin Yunwan in shame to see if she blamed him.
No.
Her eyes were still so gentle, and she was still the same as his mother.
"Longbow, what's wrong?"
Lin Yunwan was very curious when she saw how his expression changed several times.
Lu Changgong couldn't calm down his mood.
He opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time.
He saw that she had combed her hair into a woman's bun again, indicating that she was married, had a husband, and probably had children.
And he was just the adopted son she had taken care of for a while!
Or the adopted son of her ex-husband whom she hated...
Will his mother be disgusted with him, or...she no longer has him in her heart?
Chang Lu gasped lightly and asked, "I...can I still call you mother?"
His heart tightened, fearing that his mother would reject him.
Lin Yunwan joked with him: "At my age, if you don't call me mother, do you still want to call me sister?"
"Mother. Mother..."
Lu Changgong burst into tears.
If he was really her biological son, he could throw himself into his mother's arms regardless of her.
But he's not.
Since he entered the family at the age of nine, he has been unable to act openly and openly in his mother's arms.
Lu Changgong lowered his head, pulled Lin Yunwan's sleeve, and sobbed for a long time.
"Mother. My son misses you very much..."
Lin Yunwan felt sad and touched his forehead.
Lu Changgong grew up after all. After crying for a while, he got better soon.
He looked like he was outside just now, wiping away his tears, stepping back in a measured manner, and bowing shyly: "Madam, I'm so rude."
He knew in his heart that even if he missed his mother again, he still couldn't expose his mother's identity.
Lin Yunwan pressed her eyes and said warmly: "Come with me for a walk up the mountain."
Lu Changgong asked Lin Yunwan: "Madam, do you want to pay homage to the Taifu?"
"I remember one year, you took my uncle and me to worship the Taifu."
Lin Yunwan remembered this and nodded in agreement.
After leaving Chixiang Temple, we went up the mountain together. The two of them talked a lot along the way.
Lu Changgong first asked Lin Yunwan how he was doing outside and why he decided to come back.
Naturally, Lin Yunwan would not say that her life was not good. She simply said: "The capital is my home. My relatives are all in the capital. Even in the far corners of the world, I will always return to my roots here."
She also said: "I've also heard about Yun Yi's stay at Mingshan Academy. I'm also worried."
Lu Changgong still felt a little guilty.
"It was me who was useless and didn't help Uncle Shang Yi."
Lin Yunwan said: "How can I blame you?"
She knew her adopted son's character. Seeing that his character had not changed much in the past few years, she explained to him: "You are you, and the Lu family is the Lu family. They harmed Yun Yi, don't blame yourself. .”
Lu Changgong agreed and talked about the Lu family's affairs by the way.
His mother knew clearly that in the future, he and his mother would be able to cooperate internally and externally to deal with the Lu family.
Lin Yunwan asked while listening.
"Mu'er? Aunt Zhuqing's name? It's a good choice."
Lu Changgong said: "My aunt said I got it for you. The person she admires most is you."
But when naming the younger generation, they wanted to avoid naming their elders, so they just chose the word "mu" for admiration.
"Have both Madam and the Marquis moved out?"
Lu Changgong nodded: "After Aunt Ge took over, they all moved out for several years."
Lin Yunwan smiled. Wei's temper might not tolerate Ge Baoer, but he couldn't disobey Lu Zhengliu either.
"How is the old lady doing now?"
Lin Yunwan's tone was calm. In fact, she wanted to ask if the old lady was dead.
Lu Changgong also hated the old lady and said indifferently: "I am paralyzed by a stroke. Life would be worse than death."
Lin Yunwan was not surprised.
Mrs. Lu poisoned Ge Baoer back then, how could Ge Baoer let her go?
Lu Changgong said calmly: "After you left, there was no mistress in the Lu family, and no one was willing to marry in. My mother was in charge of everything, but Aunt Ge was actually in charge. He... later took in several more concubines. The room is only used for childbearing and has never been given any dignity."
"Aunt Zhuqing is still very favored and helps manage the inner house."
"The Lu family clan has also been disbanded. Just after you left, the Lu family almost fell apart."
It sounds like a mess.
But they were all expected, and Lin Yunwan was not interested in listening to them in detail.
"Aunt Ge is not an easy person to get along with. Changgong, have you been living well these past few years?"
Lu Changgong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm living a good life."
Lin Yunwan is willing to hear the details.
Lu Changgong said: "Aunt Zhuqing is very smart and takes good care of me. He... also likes me and Mu'er very much. I live in the front yard again, and Aunt Ge is just a concubine after all. She really can't do anything to me. Lu Changzong also has It has been raised to waste and is no threat."
"Mrs. Marquis is gone, and the old lady has nothing to do. Now no one in the Lu family can embarrass me."
"only……"
Lin Yunwan asked: "Just what?"
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and whispered, "This doesn't feel like home without you here."
Lin Yunwan's eyes became softer and softer.
She told Lu Changgong: "It sounds like you are living a good life in the Lu family, but Aunt Ge has a vicious mind. You and Zhu Qing should be careful. Don't let others touch your daily food."
In fact, with Zhu Qing's attentiveness, her words were unnecessary.
Lu Changgong heard the clue, frowned and asked, "You mean..."
Lin Yunwan then spoke more clearly: "Before I left, the old lady poisoned Aunt Ge, and Aunt Ge herself knew about this."
Lu Changgong was indeed a little surprised.
He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: "No wonder the old lady suddenly collapsed. Aunt Ge later became so close to the old lady's mother Yan."
I'm afraid she wasn't poisoned by Aunt Ge!
He really learned a great secret today!
