When Lu Heng's yard arrived, the original servants of the Lu family had been replaced, and now they were all brought in by Lu Heng, and Wang Yanqing thought he had returned to the capital as soon as he stepped in.
This is where Lu Heng lived before he was eleven years old. After the news of King Xing's succession came from the capital, Lu Song urgently escorted the emperor to Beijing, and the Lu family also moved to Beijing. It was not until Lu Song's death that Mrs Fan returned to her hometown with her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, leaving Lu Heng alone in the capital.
Over the years, Lu Heng's official position has risen steadily, and the Lu family lives freely in Chengtian Mansion. Lu Wen received a generous military position, and he didn't have to undertake a dangerous mission, but no one dared to offend him.
Even if Lu Heng was not at home, the Chu family still kept the uncle's courtyard clean and tidy. The furniture was shiny and shiny, and it looked like it was scrubbed frequently. Even so, there is still a sense of desolation in the house, which is not crowded all the year round.
Wang Yanqing looked in the room and asked, "Brother, is this the book you read when you were a child?"
Lu Heng glanced at the bookshelf, nodded and replied, "Yes. It's from many years ago. It's dusty, so be careful choking."
Wang Yanqing took off a book on the edge. There was not much dust on it, but the pages of the book inevitably had a dank smell. Wang Yanqing thought to himself that it was no wonder that Lu Heng could recognize Liang Rong's books at a glance, and the books he read were all over the world, and he was involved in everything.
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, the autopsy of Zuzuo, the geography of mountains and rivers, the strategy of the art of war, and even the astronomical calendar. Wang Yanqing flipped through a few books and made sure that he had read every one of them, and was not putting them here as a prestige. Wang Yanqing asked, "Brother, you are Jin Yiwei, why do you still read Zuzuo's book?"
"The quality of the work varies, so instead of wasting time with them, I'd better watch it myself." Lu Heng walked up to her and said, "To solve a crime, you must first understand how to commit a crime."
Solving a case is actually a skilled job, and you have accumulated enough experience to see what is unreasonable. Lu Heng was young and had insufficient experience, so he could only make up for it by reading books.
Wang Yanqing nodded, pointed to the remaining books and asked, "What about these, are they also for solving the case?"
"Not exactly." Lu Heng said, "A lot of the emperor watched it, and I followed it to understand a few."
Lu Heng was the emperor's companion in the early years. The emperor was famous in the clan for his eagerness to learn. Yang Ting made him the new emperor because the emperor was good at reading. Even though the emperor was now involved in government affairs, he did not throw away the books. There were many books that the senior ministers of the cabinet had never read, and the emperor had read them. I don't know how many old ministers planted them on the emperor during the grand ceremony.
Those who are close to Zhu are red, those who are close to ink are black, the emperor loves to read books, and Lu Heng has also learned a lot. Wang Yanqing swept over the densely packed books in front of him, and sighed sincerely, "You two have really achieved each other."
No wonder Mother Meng wanted to move three times, the influence of her companions was too great.
I've been walking all the time just now, but now I can't help but feel a little hot when I stop. Wang Yanqing put the book back on the bookshelf and fanned by the neckline with his hand. Lu Heng glanced at her thick, opaque sleeves and smiled clearly: "Qingqing, aren't you hot?"
Wang Yanqing was wearing tulle Suluo two days ago, but recently changed to brocade, even if she was born with a cold body, she couldn't stand it. Wang Yanqing's intentions were seen through, her face flushed red, and she said, "It's not hot."
Lu Heng chuckled lightly and asked casually, "Is it really not hot? Anlu is not as hot as the capital. The heat will last for a long time. Don't let yourself suffer from heat stroke."
Wang Yanqing was actually a little regretful. There are many lakes in Chengtianfu, the climate is warm and humid, and the brocade is heavy and airtight. She wears several layers inside and out, and she is simply suffering in this weather. Wearing rosé is really light and breathable, but when Lu Heng looked over, Wang Yanqing always suspected that he was not wearing clothes. She only changed into thick clothes to protect Lu Heng, if she changed back again, wouldn't it look like she was playing hard-to-find.
Wang Yanqing refused to admit it, and Lu Heng did not force it. He waited for Wang Yanqing to dissipate the heat, and then said, "It's time to set the meal, don't make the elders wait for a long time, let's go and say hello to mother."
Wang Yanqing nodded and followed Lu Heng to the main hall. Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Chu had heard from their servants that Lu Heng was back, and Lu Heng sent someone to spread the word, saying that he would go back to the yard to rest first, and then come to greet him when he was cleaned up. Lu Wen knew that Lu Heng was back, and left the office early today. They were talking when they heard the call of "Second Master is here" from outside, and they all stopped.
Except for Mr. Fan, everyone in the room stood up. Lu Heng stopped by the door and waited for Wang Yanqing to follow before he lifted the curtain and entered the door. Wang Yanqing was a little nervous, but Lu Heng noticed it and clenched her hand secretly.
Wang Yanqing took a deep breath and said in her heart that this is a relative she has been with for many years, and there is nothing to be nervous about. She looked up, plucking up the courage to look forward.
There are not many people in the Lu family. A fair and beautiful middle-aged woman sits at the head. She should be Lu Heng's mother, but she looks like she is only in her early forties, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows. White and firm. Especially outstanding is the pair of eyes, which are hooked inward and warped outward, with a slight pink halo and watery eyes. When they are not smiling, they have a three-point smile, which looks very amiable.
When Wang Yanqing saw Fan Shi, he understood that Lu Heng's eyes should be like his mother's. Wang Yanqing only knew what an undefeated beauty is when she met Mrs Fan. The corners of Mrs Fan's eyes were already wrinkled, but it didn't affect those eyes. She knew from a glance at her face that she lived a smooth life and had a gentle temperament, so there was no age on her face. vicissitudes.
Mr. Fan started sitting with a married couple. The man was tall, with a broad skeleton and cold facial features. He looked more like a soldier than Lu Heng, but his nose and lips were similar to those of Lu Heng, which was obviously Lu Heng's. Brother - Lu Wen. The woman next to her was petite and slender, with a small nose and small mouth. She had a very peaceful and elegant appearance. She should be Lu Wen's wife, the Chu family.
Behind the Chu family, the nurse was holding a child in her arms, her eyes like grapes, and Baba looked at them. Don't think about it, this is Lu Zhan, Lu Heng's nephew. Wang Yanqing gave these people a number one by one in his heart, and saluted Lu Heng.
When Wang Yanqing looked at the Lu family, Fan and others were also looking at Wang Yanqing. In the afternoon, the Chu family heard from her mother-in-law that Lu Heng brought a woman back, and because it was inconvenient to announce the mourning, she brought it with her in the name of her younger sister. Fan also said that the woman accidentally hurt her head, and she forgot all about the past, and specifically told Chu not to irritate her.
It is not a secret that the Lu family has a very outstanding second young master. Everyone in Anlu knows that Lu Heng is rising rapidly in the capital, and his power is so high that no one dares to offend him when he announces the surname "Lu" in Chengtian Mansion. The Chu family and the uncle were not familiar with each other, but after hearing that the uncle had not been married for many years, her parents wanted to move, and secretly asked her to inquire. The Chu family had tested the mother-in-law before, but the father-in-law's filial piety had not yet passed, so the matter was not settled. Unexpectedly, today, I suddenly heard that Lu Heng was going to bring a woman back.
There was no doubt in the Chu family's heart. Now that she saw the real person, she was shocked, and finally understood why the uncle who had been with him for many years suddenly wanted to marry a wife.
The female family members of the Lu family are all fair-faced Jingchu beauties, but this lady Wang is cold and glamorous, with a tall stature, thin bones, sharp and sharp folds on her face, and bright facial features. She had a similar appearance, but her expression was cold and her skin was snow-white, as if she had been mixed with ice in her beauty, and she suddenly became unobtrusive and unobtrusive.
It is really as bright as a peach and plum, as cold as frost. Chu noticed that Lu Heng shook Wang Yanqing's hand before entering the door. With such a good-looking appearance, coupled with Lu Heng's care, most likely this is her sister-in-law. The Chu family is also a person who knows the proportions. When he told Lu Heng about the marriage, it was assumed that it never happened, and he would not mention it again.
When Mrs Fan listened to Lu Heng today, she was ready to take care of a daughter-in-law with a child's mind. Unexpectedly, Wang Yanqing was icy and jade-like. Fan was overjoyed and was satisfied with Wang Yanqing a hundred times.
The two sides greeted each other and took their seats. Lu Heng had a higher official position than Lu Wen, but he pushed back and took Wang Yanqing to sit down on the right. Seeing the two sons and daughter-in-law sitting on the left and the right, Mrs Fan was very satisfied and said happily, "Today the family is finally together, but unfortunately your father didn't have the chance to see it."
When Lu Heng heard that he was about to reveal his secrets, he quickly changed the topic: "Mother, on a good day, don't worry about the past. I came back late today, and I have troubled my mother, brother, sister-in-law and sister-in-law for a long time. It's my filial piety."
How dare the Chu family agree to this, and quickly said: "We are at home all day long, it's nothing to wait for a while, the matter before the Holy Spirit is what matters."
Lu Wen also said: "Yeah, I heard that everything in Jinyiwei is now under your control. You have to be more careful and get things done, and don't be in a hurry to go home."
Chu shi blinked, but did not follow. Lu Heng was used to fighting with the emperor and the goblins in the cabinet, and he understood Chu shi's thoughts at a glance. Lu Heng explained with a slight smile: "A few days ago, I was promoted to the commander-in-chief, and temporarily took charge of the affairs of Jinyiwei on behalf of the commander."
The Chu family let out a small hiss and was promoted again. Chu family didn't dare to dream of such a fast promotion speed.
After Lu Heng opened the door, Lu Wen naturally asked about the affairs of Jinyiwei, and Lu Heng also mentioned the personnel changes in the capital during this period. The topic was diverted to the court, and no one cared about what Mr. Fan said just now. Wang Yanqing found that the people of the Lu family were indifferent when they saw her, neither inquiring nor asking, as if they had known her for a long time. Wang Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and gathered his mind to listen to Lu Heng's words.
Once the official affairs began, they couldn't stop, and when they saw the meal time, a group of people moved to the dining room. When they were seated, the Chu family finally found an opportunity and pushed Lu Zhan out and said, "Don't you ask the second uncle in the capital all day long, the second uncle is back, go say hello to the second uncle and the little aunt."
Although everyone knew Wang Yanqing's identity, Lu Heng said that he thought his sister, of course, the Chu family wanted to give Lu Heng this face. Lu Zhan was pushed by his mother and walked to Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing's seats. He was only three years old, and he was not taller than the table. Wang Yanqing was surprised and a little panicked when he saw a child approaching.
On the other hand, Lu Heng was the opposite. Although he smiled, his eyes were tense. Children do not have complete thinking logic, which is a variable that Lu Heng has absolutely no control over. Lu Zhan looked at the two people in front of him, and turned to pull the nurse's sleeve: "Why do you want to call it a little aunt instead of an aunt?"
After a moment of silence at the dinner table, Chu hurriedly pulled his son over and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Heng thought to himself that if he did not do anything wrong, he would not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. He who did immoral deeds was always anxious and could not rest in peace. Lu Heng smiled gently at his nephew and said, "It's not time yet, so call my aunt first."
The people at the dinner table were instantly understood, and there were good-natured laughter from inside and outside, Wang Yanqing's face turned red, and he was embarrassed to look up again.
Lu Heng's words were vague, and Wang Yanqing naturally thought that she was still the adopted daughter of the Lu family, so she wanted to call her little aunt, but Fan Shi and others would think that Lu Heng's filial piety had not yet passed, so they had to use the name of aunt to hide their eyes and ears.
Both parties felt it was reasonable. Seeing that Wang Yanqing was shy and didn't want to be embarrassed, Mrs Fan said to start dinner. Lu Heng served Wang Yanqing a dish and whispered, "He is still young and doesn't remember anything, don't take it to heart."
This is another sentence that can be understood in any way. Wang Yanqing thought that Lu Zhan was three years old this year, and just turned two years old when he left Beijing. It was normal for him not to remember her.
But why don't you remember her but remember Lu Heng? Wang Yanqing turned to think of Lu Heng as an official in the capital. There must be people inside and outside the Lu family who constantly mentioned his outstanding second uncle to Lu Zhan, while Wang Yanqing was a female family member in the house, and his presence was far less strong than that of Lu Heng. Lu Zhan knew Lu Heng but forgot her. Not surprisingly.
Wang Yanqing thought of a reasonable reason, shook his head slightly, and said to Lu Heng, "I understand."
The dining table is so big, and the interaction between the two of them can be seen by everyone. The smile on Fan's face became more and more warm, and he was already thinking about the name of his grandchildren in the future. Lu Wen pretended not to see it, and the Chu family lowered her head to feed her son, thinking in her heart that it seemed that this woman was very fond of Lu Heng.
Sure enough, Lu Heng didn't mean to shy away. He looked at the house, openly or secretly, and calmly scooped out a bowl of fish soup for Wang Yanqing, and said to Mrs. Fan, "Mother, it is inconvenient for us to bring too much baggage when we leave the capital. Her clothes are all made in the capital, and there is no suitable material for the climate of Chu. I will trouble my mother and elder sister-in-law to order some clothes for her tomorrow. It happened that I haven't seen my nephew for a long time, so I also added a few sets of golden locks to Zhan'er. ."
Whenever Lu Heng opens his mouth, he will cover all the expenses. Chu Shi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "Second uncle is polite, the girl is short of clothes, it is my duty to be my sister-in-law. But I don't need to do anything else. Lu Zhan has beaten the longevity lock several times, and I can't wear the rest..."
Lu Heng said: "These are my thoughts for my nephew. If I can't wear them, I can leave them alone. On the contrary, I have been in the capital for a long time, and I can't do my filial piety. Thanks to my brothers and sisters-in-law for taking care of the family business and honoring my mother these years. Qingqing I've never been to Anlu, and I don't know anything. I will have Mrs. Lao to lead Qingqing tomorrow. If my mother and sister-in-law like anything, they can buy them together, which is my apology."
Lu Heng is very good at speaking. These words seem to be gifts for Chu and Lu Zhan, but they are actually for Lu Wen. The young strong grew weak, and the position of Jin Yiwei passed Lu Wen to Lu Heng. Although Lu Heng helped Lu Wen find a better official position, it was still a tie between the brothers. Money has lost its meaning to Lu Heng. If he can use gold and silver to win over his eldest brother and ensure the stability of the Lu family, it will be worth it.
Lu Heng took care of Wang Yanqing, Fan Shi, Lu Wen and Chu Shi at the same time. Seeing that her husband had no objection, Chu Shi responded with a smile. She glanced at the opposite side of the seat calmly, thinking that Lu Heng, a figure who was in charge of Jinyiwei and feared both inside and outside, actually called Wang Yanqing "Qingqing" in public, which was really disgusting.
And enviable.
Wang Yanqing felt Lu Heng's superb speaking skills once again. She was somewhat embarrassed. Although Lu Heng didn't say it clearly, he despised Wang Yanqing's clothes inside and out. Wang Yanqing glanced down, well, compared to everyone in the room, she really doesn't look like she's wearing the same season.
Lu Heng found a decent excuse for her to change her clothes. Wang Yanqing could choose the fabric by herself, and she could choose something that was refreshing and not revealing. Wang Yanqing put the fish he had brought into his mouth and silently accepted his kindness.
This meal was enjoyable. After the meal, Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing to say goodbye. Naturally, the others would not hold back. The sky is high and the water is wide, and the night wind blows on people very comfortably. Lu Heng naturally held Wang Yanqing's hand, Wang Yanqing was immersed in the beautiful and quiet night without struggling.
At the dinner table, Lu Heng noticed that Wang Yanqing was eating more than usual. She should have no doubts, but to be safe, Lu Heng still tentatively asked: "Qingqing, are you still used to coming home suddenly?"
Wang Yanqing nodded: "Auntie and Mrs.-in-law are very kind, and Zhan'er is also very cute. There's nothing unaccustomed to."
Lu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine as long as you like it. You don't have to be under pressure. If you really can't remember the past, you don't need to force it, just treat your mother and elder sister-in-law as just getting to know each other and cultivate your relationship again. ."
Wang Yanqing did not suspect him, so he nodded, "Okay."
Lu Heng continued: "Tomorrow, I will accompany the emperor to see the Xianling Mausoleum, and I may not have time to accompany you in the next few days. The thief Fu Tingzhou is still eyeing him, you are following your mother and elder sister-in-law these days, don't go out alone, understand? ?"
Wang Yanqing nodded and responded one by one.
Lu Heng settled what he was most worried about, and his thoughts drifted to Lu Zhan for some reason. Lu Heng asked, "What do you think of Lu Zhan?"
Wang Yanqing thought his words were strange: "Very good. He doesn't look like a big brother, but more like a sister-in-law. He looks cute and cute, and he must be a smart kid in the future."
Lu Heng nodded: "I think so too. With you around, our future children will definitely look better."
Wang Yanqing paused for a moment, then said leisurely, "You must have thought too far."
Lu Heng chuckled and said, "These are the words of a saint."
Wang Yanqing rolled his eyes, which sage taught him to take advantage of the woman so much? Wang Yanqing deliberately asked, "Which sage said that?"
"Sage Kong." Lu Heng said unhurriedly, "Everything is foreshadowed, and if you don't predict it will fail. Is it wrong for me to act according to the words of the sage?"
Wang Yanqing was silent for a moment again, and said sincerely, "That's right."
It was her fault. This person is best at pushing her nose on her face, so she shouldn't pay attention to Lu Heng.
