Chapter 62 Your elder brother is stupid
Chapter 62
Early the next morning, Lu Songli sent someone to the Xu family in Baodingfang to tell her sister and in-laws' wives to be careful about strangers who appeared around them recently and to take good care of their children.
Although Lu Songli felt that the Zhao family, under the constraints of the Xie family, would not be so unlimited, they still had to take precautions. In fact, Dali is quite like the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This is also a custom. The two forces will fight each other, but try not to involve the old and the young. After all, which family does not have the old and which does not have the young? If the struggle fails and the whole family is implicated, then no one has anything to say. But it is wrong for you to focus solely on the old and young to cause harm at the beginning of the struggle. And if you can take action, others can’t?
The old lady of the Xu family trusted Lu Songli very much because she saved her grandson. When she heard that she had someone come to deliver the message, she said that she and her family would be careful to take precautions.
There is an undercurrent surging in the capital.
Everyone who was well-informed knew about Zhao Bin. After all, he was sent back to Zhao's house by an old farmer in an oxcart, which was not secretive enough. After returning to Zhao's house, everything in between, including sending him to his residence and asking for medical advice, could not be kept strictly confidential.
Everyone is not just someone who jumped out of a rock. They all have parents, brothers and relatives. If one person knows about it, his family’s in-laws will also basically know about it. Then it was spread from person to person, and it became a secret known to all the high-ranking families in Chang'an City.
For a moment, the elders who knew about this all looked solemn, and ordered the juniors below to behave with their tail between their legs recently, and it was best not to offend the Lu family, especially Lu Songli.
Zhao Bin's tragic situation made many dandies who were usually quite arrogant and trouble-making in Chang'an City feel sad, and they were all as quiet as chickens. Among them, Guo Yan and others who had a bad relationship with Lu Songli were even mentioned by the elders.
In addition, everyone was holding their breath waiting for the Zhao family to take action. For a while, Chang'an City became a little calmer.
But when these boys and girls got together, they couldn't help but secretly discuss this matter. Many of them have had contact with Lu Songli. In their impression, Lu Songli is a quiet, gentle and insignificant person next to Zhao Yutan. Unlike the rest of the Lu family, he has a soft temper.
She only became like this after experiencing the blow of breaking off the engagement and granting the marriage.
As a result, the boys and girls who were restrained by their elders became angry. It's all the fault of the Xie family for releasing a female devil, which prevented them from being as casual as before. No, it's all the fault of the Zhao family. If Zhao Yutan hadn't insisted on stealing her fiancé, Lu Songli wouldn't have become so cruel.
Suddenly, everyone was beating their chests and hating them so much.
Also, Zhao Bin, this annoying guy, deserves what he deserves! Needless to say, Zhao Bin must have gone to Lu Songli to cause trouble, so she punished him severely.
This is obvious. In the past, friends Zhao Yutan and Lu Songli had a falling out, and later Zhao Yutan committed suicide. In Zhao Bin's eyes, wasn't it his sister who was bullied so much? With Zhao Bin's protective temperament, every mistake was the fault of others, so he would definitely go to Lu Songli to trouble him.
He does look miserable now, but as the saying goes, poor people must be hateful! Zhao Bin always likes to defend his eldest sister indiscriminately, euphemistically called protecting her shortcomings. Usually when Zhao Yutan feels uncomfortable, he will make trouble for others. After Zhao Yutan finds out, he will find that person to apologize or make some compensation. The siblings often do this, making others angry or vomiting, in short, just uncomfortable.
Looking at his current fate, many people who have been angered by him are secretly happy that he allowed you to be tyrannical. Now you are fine, you have stepped on the iron plate, right?
On this day, someone knocked on the door of the Lu family early in the morning.
"Who is it?" Uncle Zhang, the concierge, walked out of the small house sleepily and asked outside the door.
"It's me, your second young master!" the person outside the door replied.
Second young master? ! Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhang quickly opened the door, and sure enough he saw a man carrying a bag standing in the cold wind of early winter.
"Second Young Master?" Uncle Zhang squinted his eyes and looked at the man, a little afraid to recognize him. This - this -
"It's me."
"It's really you, are you back?" Uncle Zhang wiped his eyes, unable to believe that the dirty-faced person in front of him was their second young master who loved to be clean? But the voice was indeed that of the second young master.
"Uncle Zhang, close your mouth, I'll go in first." After saying that, Lu Mingzhi walked inside like a whirlwind.
Gatekeeper Zhang patted his head. He was so excited that he forgot to report to the inner courtyard! I hope the second young master will be more reliable and not frighten the master, his wife, and the second young lady.
Since Lu Songli deposed Zhao Bin two days before the fight, Lu Desheng started to go out early and come back late again.
On this day, Lu Desheng and Lu Mingzhi, who had gone out early, met half way to the front door of the main courtyard, and they met at the corner. Both sides were shocked by the other!
Yo ho! Lu Desheng was so frightened that he took two steps back and took a closer look. Why did a savage come into the house?
It was still dark. Lu Desheng was getting older and reading a lot, so his vision was far less clear than when he was young. In such low light conditions, he could only vaguely see an outline. It was windy today, and Lu Mingzhi's face was covered in mud by the wind and sand. His messy hair covered half of his face. The key was his hands. He also held a cane inside, just like a savage.
However, Lu Mingzhi recognized his father and quickly pulled his messy hair aside with both hands, revealing half of his face, "Dad, it's me!"
Lu Desheng recognized his son's voice, "Second brother? Mingzhi?"
"It's me."
Lv Desheng stepped forward, looked him up and down, and then said with disdain, "How did you get into this mess?"
Lv Mingzhi rolled his eyes. Let him not shave for a month and not change clothes?
Then he said in a muffled voice, "The teacher and I were in Jingzhou. After receiving the news from home and saying goodbye to the teacher, I rushed back as fast as I could, and even rushed for half a month." Before that, they had an accident when they traveled through a remote mountain village, and a lot of luggage was lost. At that time, they had not changed clothes for half a month.
Lv Desheng knew that his son and other classmates were traveling with the teacher. He estimated their speed and sent him a letter through the post station, telling him about the family affairs, but he didn't expect him to receive it. Unexpectedly, he received it by chance, and then he rushed back.
The younger son worked hard, Lu Desheng patted him on the shoulder first, and did not go out, and took his son back to the yard for breakfast.
"Dad, why are you going out at this time?" Lv Mingzhi looked at the sky. Today was not a big court, and his father was usually still asleep at this time. In his impression, his father had not been so hard in recent years. It must be that what happened recently made him too worried.
The concern in the eyes of the youngest son made Lv Desheng swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Forget it, the youngest son was concerned about him, and he just said, "There are some things recently, and I have to be busy for a while."
As soon as Lv Desheng returned to the main courtyard, he asked the servants to bring hot water to the youngest son to wash, and he went into the bedroom. Not long after, Jiang came out with him. Jiang was very excited to see the dusty youngest son. The mother and son talked for a while, and Lv Mingzhi's stomach rumbled. Jiang asked the youngest son to go to the living room to accompany his father, and she went to the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious. The youngest son must have suffered during this period, and he had to be well nourished.
The hot food was served on the table. After asking his parents, Lv Mingzhi started to eat without hesitation. To be honest, he didn't eat very well in the past month.
While eating breakfast, Lv Mingzhi listened to his father talking about what happened at home during this period and how his family responded.
The more he listened, the more surprised he was. His second sister was really silent, but she was amazing. He thought he was the one who was most like his father among the four brothers and sisters. Now it seems that his second sister is more like his father.
"Your second sister has come to her senses."
In his father's words, his second sister is a smart person who was delayed by her ex-fiance! But no matter what, this is a good thing. You know, he was very worried that she would be upset on the way.
"You still have a conscience, but your eldest brother is a fool. Your second sister asked him to continue to stay at Yue's house, so he continued to stay there. He continued to stay there." Lv Desheng didn't scold him for anything else, just called him stupid.
