Lu Wenhui and Lu Wenshi also had the same thoughts in their hearts. Today they went to the door to eat at the closed door and suffered a humiliation in vain. The two brothers were extremely aggrieved.
"Second brother, ask your wife to prepare a few generous gifts. It's just a matter of sending them to the elders and patriarchs in the clan! You don't need to mention this to the clan, just say that the two shops are doing good business these days. It's just a token of appreciation." Mrs. Lu ordered again.
Be prepared, those in the clan are all good people, first manage the relationship, and if something happens, there will be someone to talk to. Even if it was the last false alarm, it would not be a bad thing if this favor was done.
Lu Wenhui quickly agreed.
However, no one expected that just two days after the gift was sent out here, a young eunuch from the palace suddenly flew over on this day, saying that the eunuch who was in charge of rites in the palace would come to deliver the order soon , Let the Lu family prepare to receive the order.
Ever since Marquis Changping was confiscated, the Lu Mansion has been almost forgotten for so many years. No eunuch has ever come to the door, and it has nothing to do with the palace or the royal family.
If it wasn't for the fact that this little eunuch was dressed like a palace and looked like an eunuch at a glance, the Lu family would definitely think that this was Lu Wenxuan's conspiracy!
The shock of the Lu family was no small matter, the old lady Lu felt dizzy, her feet gave way and she almost fell down, her heart thumped so hard that it almost jumped into her throat.
Lu Wenhui and others reacted similarly to her. Someone from the palace came suddenly, without any warning in advance, no one could calm down otherwise.
The whole family was in a hurry to change clothes, comb their hair, and set up incense tables and incense burners. Finally, Lu Wenhui reluctantly stuffed a big red envelope into the hands of the little eunuch, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, I don't know what the purpose is—haha , I also ask my father-in-law to give me some pointers, the family is very grateful, very grateful!"
At this time, the little eunuch was sitting in a large armchair with a big face, tasting the fragrant tea in his hand, looking at the whole family in trepidation, the pride of the superior was born spontaneously.
He is actually just a little eunuch who runs errands to pass on messages, and he is not up to easy and decent work. In the palace, he is in a position that almost everyone can command. He never dreamed that this time the work of running errands would be so decent! In addition, he just received a big red envelope from someone else, and his heart is full of pride, enjoying the wanton feeling of this turned serf doing to his master.
Hearing Lu Wenhui's question, he really wanted to reciprocate, but he didn't dare! It is also necessary to be qualified to reciprocate!
If the Grand Duke finds out about his nonsense, he must be beaten to death! Older people in the palace, no matter how humble and stupid they are, still know the truth of talking less and making less mistakes.
More importantly, he actually didn't know what was in his imperial decree...
He is an errand runner, can you ask him to know even this? It's too hard for him!
The little father-in-law felt full of being in charge today. Hearing the words, he didn't panic or feel guilty or ashamed. He smiled confidently and said sharply, "Master Lu, don't worry, you'll find out after a while!"
Lu Wenhui scolded the white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with him in his heart, thinking that I will know later if I don't know? Is it possible to feed the dog by stuffing you a red envelope? Don't you want to know in advance that you have a bottom line in your heart!
"Little eunuch," Lu Wenhui had to say with a smile again: "That's right, I'm afraid that when I receive the order later, I won't be ready for a while, and it will be bad if something goes wrong! Please say something to me, little eunuch." In other words, it is easy to teach the inferior people to have a bottom line in their hearts..."
The little father-in-law couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes, he thought to himself, if you ask me, who should I ask
"Lord Lu, don't worry, just follow the rules! I think the family is well-behaved and courteous, so how could they be messed up and make mistakes?" The little eunuch smiled, and said two words that were equivalent to not saying anything. The words went back.
Not to mention Lu Wenhui now, the faces of the others are also not very good, so the old lady Lu smiled and asked the little father-in-law frankly: "My father-in-law, I just ask you a word, what is the imperial decree?" The good news is—”
This is exactly what the Lu family was concerned about. Hearing this, several pairs of eyes looked at the little father-in-law, both nervous and expectant.
"Old lady Lu, don't worry," the little eunuch smiled, still inscrutable, and said with a smile: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, right?"
Don't eat soft and hard! Take or eat people's things, and you don't feel soft-hearted!
The Lu family was secretly depressed, but they also knew that there was absolutely no way to find out any news from this dead eunuch.
"That's it, that's it!" Mrs. Lu could only force a smile, cursing in her heart.
It's finally clean! The little father-in-law smiled slightly, and continued to be the uncle tasting tea, feeling so happy in his heart, wishing to have a colleague by his side, and boasted himself: "I speak very well today, and I am very quick-witted." !
Does he have the potential to be a grand duke
The chief eunuch who delivered the decree finally came, leading a dozen or so court ladies and eunuchs in bright and beautiful clothes, the whole guard of honor was spread out, and surrounded by the chief eunuch in the middle who was wearing a royal blue bright satin robe and holding the imperial edict, entered through the middle door, very majestic. It dazzled the servants in Lu's mansion who had never seen the world.
The Eunuch Li who delivered the decree went straight to the incense table in the atrium, and there was already a curl of smoke from the copper animal head incense burner. When he stood there, the attendants on the left and right followed him closely, serving with their hands down. Everyone knelt down and shouted long live three times, waiting to receive the order.
Unexpectedly, Eunuch Li's eyes swept around the crowd, but he didn't make a statement, as if he was looking for someone.
Mrs. Lu couldn't bear the wait anymore—whose heart is always held so high doesn't feel uncomfortable
The old lady Lu raised her head cautiously, and asked with a smile, "My father-in-law, this is..."
"Old lady Lu," Eunuch Li looked back and asked with a smile, "Is everyone in this house here?"
"Yes, everything is here!" Mrs. Lu and Lu Wenhui nodded repeatedly. A joke, who dares to neglect such a thing as receiving an imperial edict
"Oh?" Eunuch Li raised his slender eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile, "Who is Lu Wenxuan, the eldest master of the Lu family?"
With a "boom", Mrs. Lu, her two sons, and her two daughters-in-law felt their heads exploded and went blank, and they couldn't recover for a while.
what did he say? Lu Wenxuan, the grand master of the Lu family
"Grandfather Mingjian," Old Madam Lu's voice was a little dry, and she forced a smile and said, "We only have the second master and the third master in our house, and there is no elder master. My eldest son died more than ten years ago. The government and the clan—”
"Oh?" Eunuch Li interrupted without waiting for her to finish, and asked, "Madam Lu, are you sure that Lu Wenxuan passed away more than ten years ago? Did your Lu family bury his body in person?"
What does it mean? Why are they talking to Lu Wenxuan, a lowly kind of person, inside and out
The masters of the Lu family couldn't help but "thump" in their hearts, and suddenly became a little flustered.
"That's not true," Lu Wenhui had no choice but to bite the bullet and laugh along with him, "However, when the eldest brother and sister-in-law disappeared, we haven't found it after searching for more than half a year—"
"You almost scared our family to death!" Eunuch Li laughed when he heard this, and said as if he was greatly relieved: "Missing is missing, and death is death. These are clearly two different things. How can they be confused? You say yes no?"
"Yes, yes!" What could Lu Wenhui say? I had no choice but to nod, and said hastily: "However, we have been searching for a long time but haven't found the eldest brother, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law have never come back in the past ten years! If they are not dead, how could they not come back? So—"
"Hey, things in this world are really such a coincidence. Hasn't he come back now? Hehe, speaking of which, our family hasn't congratulated you yet! What about others? Let him come out to receive the order!"
Eunuch Li obviously didn't want to deal with their family's bad debts, he just wanted to finish his errands quickly, and he became a little rude when he spoke.
The old lady Lu and her two sons looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't say anything when they moved their lips.
This is really - a sudden disaster! What a disaster!
"Eunuch," Lu Wenhui almost cried, and said with a wry smile, "Maybe Eunuch misunderstood, my elder brother didn't come back..."
"That's right, our Lu family would not dare to lie to your father-in-law even if we had the guts to be ambitious! It's true that the elder brother has not come back!" Lu Wenshi also said hastily.
At this moment, the mother and son knew very well in their hearts that the guy who came to make trouble a few days ago and now lives in the Xiangyun Inn must be the real Lu Wenxuan. I just don't know where he got such a great ability to connect with the palace, actually—
Eunuch Li lost his patience completely when he saw that this family was so unscrupulous. He immediately lowered his face and smiled coldly, and said, "Really? But how did I hear that Lu Wenxuan clearly revealed his identity a few days ago and returned home?" Have you been to the Lu family? Do you want our family to bring all the witnesses we saw and heard with our own eyes that day?"
Mrs. Lu, mother and son were terrified when they heard this, so Mrs. Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "It was true that someone came to the door to make trouble for a while, but they had a few words with the servants. He left in a huff, before the old man had the opportunity to meet the real person, and he didn't know if it was true or not. After all, this was more than ten years ago! One must be cautious when it comes to a big event like a relative? What if something goes wrong? , It became a joke! Later, the housekeeper of our house and the two sons of the old man went to the Xiangyun Inn to look for that person, just to confirm the truth of the matter, but he refused to come when the housekeeper asked him to come. He avoided seeing his son when he left, so..."
Eunuch Li waved his hand and interrupted: "These are your family affairs, our family is not interested! Besides, Lu Wenxuan is not here at this time, so how can I leave it to you? Then when Lu Wenxuan came back, he was humiliated and was humiliated by several servants." Get out, this is obvious to all! Let me tell you the truth, this imperial decree is related to him, without him, our family can’t proclaim the decree! If there is a delay, our family will have to tell the truth when we return to the palace. Let's see!"
The old lady Lu and the brothers Lu Wenhui felt cold all over for a moment, and were speechless in a daze.
