Jin Yi Kill - Chapter 74

Lu Heng sighed slightly. At first, he just wanted to deceive a younger sister to have fun, but the more he played, he was forced to deceive Empress Dowager Jiang, and now he had to deceive his mother and family. Lu Heng felt guilty for a moment, and then said without changing his expression, “It’s because I’m not filial, so please forgive me.”

When Fan heard this, he realized that the situation was not simple, and his face changed slightly: “What’s wrong?”

“I originally wanted to complete the three-year period of filial piety for my father, but I met a woman last year, which was very agreeable. My father’s period of filial piety has not yet passed, and it is not appropriate to make a statement, so I temporarily took her by my side in the name of my sister, thinking about waiting After the observance of filial piety is over, the ceremony will be completed.”

To be honest, it’s impossible, Fan’s face can’t hide anything, at most one back and forth can be seen by Wang Yanqing. Lu Heng could only make up another set of rhetoric, using the poor information of Wang Yanqing and Fan to secretly guide the two parties to show the most reasonable actions.

Lu Heng knew that this was not a gentleman’s act, but it didn’t matter, he was not a gentleman.

When Mrs. Fan heard Lu Heng’s words, she was secretly relieved. She was angry at first, and then overjoyed: “You child, I thought something big happened. Your sister-in-law told me some time ago that you are always alone. It’s not a problem, it’s just because you don’t want to, and the family is not good at urging. Although it is filial to keep the rules, but there are three great things to do without filial piety. Your father has been worried about you when he was alive. You hurry up and get married. to be truly at ease.”

Mrs Fan didn’t think it was a big problem for Lu Heng to think about marriage during his filial piety period. Filial piety is a requirement of etiquette, but for elders, it is far more practical for children to get married and have grandchildren quickly than to be a vegetarian and cry the grave.

Lu Heng’s marriage has been a problem for Fan’s heart for many years. As early as when Lu Heng was seventeen years old, Mrs. Fan tried to choose a wife for Lu Heng, but at that time, Lu Heng was busy taking martial arts exams, and then went to Lengguguan to fight with the Tartars. Jin Yiwei is busy. Fan Shi and Lu Song mentioned getting married several times, but Lu Heng rejected them.

At that time, Fan Shi and Lu Song didn’t know that Lu Heng would have such great achievements in the future. Then came Shouxiao, and Lu Heng would have to delay for another three years, whether Fan was willing or not.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Heng was already twenty-three years old. He didn’t have a family at this age, so he was an outlier among his peers. In a hereditary family like them, as soon as the son was born, his future was basically determined. At the latest in the seventeenth or eighteenth year, he would get married with a young lady from a similar family background, and his son would be able to go to school after the age of twenty, but Lu Heng. There wasn’t even a woman around.

Fan knew that Lu Heng was afraid of danger, but she, the mother, couldn’t help but be frightened, for fear that Lu Heng was for some other reason.

Fortunately, he is normal. He didn’t marry a wife before but just didn’t want to. Now that Lu Heng finally came to his senses, Mrs Fan would have any opinion, and she could not wait to obey him immediately. Even if Lu Songquan knew, he would urge Lu Heng to get married quickly.

Fan put down a huge rock in his heart, and then, curiosity prevailed, and questions emerged one after another: “Which girl is it? Who is her last name, where do you live, who are your father and brother?”

With a slight smile on Lu Heng’s lips, he only revealed the simplest information to the Fan family: “Her surname is Wang, Wang Yanqing, you can call her Qingqing. She is from Datong Mansion, her father and grandfather died on the battlefield. , I brought her back when I saw that she was destined. It’s just that I was negligent last year, causing her to be besieged by political enemies and accidentally bumped on the head. Don’t ask her about the past.”

Lu Heng’s words were so heartfelt that Fan shi couldn’t help feeling sad. Father and brother died, and even if the family has property, it cannot be passed on to the woman. It seems that this girl has little help.

Mrs Fan didn’t care much about this. Lu Heng refused to get married until she was twenty-three, but now she finally moved her mind, let alone an orphan, Mrs Fan would be very satisfied as long as she was a woman.

Fan Shi did not bother about Wang Yanqing’s family background, but asked, “Has she forgotten all about her past? Is it serious, can it be cured?”

Amnesia is a rare disease, and Fan has only heard of this case. Fan shi tried to think about it. If she woke up and forgot her whole life, I’m afraid she wouldn’t even dare to go out by herself. A girl without a family is already suffering enough, but she has no memory.

Fan Shi was worried just thinking about it.

Lu Heng said: “I have found many famous doctors for her, but Lang Zhong said that this kind of disease can’t be cured, so I can only accompany her patiently and let her recover slowly. Mother, my son is here to ask you one thing, please go back Afterwards, I told my eldest brother and elder sister-in-law that we should just treat Qingqing as our own daughter, and don’t say anything or ask her where she came from. I took her slowly to find a doctor and ask for medicine, and waited for her recovery. , and then give the eldest brother and sister-in-law a welcome gift.”

Mrs Fan knew that Lu Heng was always strong, how could he ever beg anyone like this? Fan Shi was sad, and immediately agreed: “Okay, I’ll remind them, I’m sure it won’t scare her. If she doesn’t know anyone, she’ll act normally…”

Lu Heng understood Fan’s concerns, and immediately said, “She just doesn’t remember the past, and the rest is just like a normal person. I will arrange her food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It’s enough for her mother and elder sister-in-law to know about it.”

Mrs Fan breathed a sigh of relief, the reason for being sick is unreasonable, and the amnesia is not the fault of the girl’s family, but if she can’t even eat or walk alone, it might be troublesome. Fortunately, Wang Yanqing is not an idiot, although in the current situation, even if Lu Heng likes a idiot, they have to recognize it.

The Lu family is an aristocratic family of Jinyiwei, but Lu Heng’s achievements have far surpassed that of the Lu family’s ancestors in all dynasties, and the official positions of the ancestors combined are not as large as Lu Heng alone. If Lu Heng wanted to marry someone, he was willing to tell his family that he respected Mrs Fan’s mother. It didn’t matter whether Mrs. Fan agreed or not.

Mr. Fan has been led by Lu Heng since he was a child, and naturally he will not disobey his son in this way. She responded: “Don’t worry, I understand. It is not easy for a woman in this world. She is a lonely girl and has no memory. She is more like duckweed. You have to take more care of her and seek more medicines. Let her restore her memory as soon as possible. Chengtian Mansion has visited a few Langzhong in the past two years, and I heard that the medical skills are not bad, how about I invite Langzhong to show her?”

What Lu Heng said just now made Fan feel sad and moved. How could Fan know that Lu Heng made it up to deceive her. Lu Heng said touching words, but his heart did not fluctuate. He wished that Wang Yanqing would never regain his memory, why would he ask her a doctor to prescribe medicine? Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, “Thank you mother for your kindness. Give me your name and I will send someone to ask.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs Fan had no doubts at all, and immediately asked the maid to hand over the name and address of the store to Lu Heng. While the mother and son were talking, the palace’s main hall had already arrived. Lu Heng stopped the topic at the right time and helped Mr. Fan enter.

The people in the main hall who were guarding Lu Heng, Jin Yiwei all stood up and salute when they saw Lu Heng, and the **** who was guarding in front of the hall also took the initiative to walk down the steps and greeted Lu Heng with a smile. Lu Heng nodded lightly, his face was indifferent when he was used to seeing big scenes. Fan’s personal experience made him more and more alarmed by the power of his son.

Dongxichang and Jinyiwei are deadly enemies. Now, even the eunuchs beside the emperor are respectful to Lu Heng.

Fan Shi sighed with both joy and sorrow in his heart.

The courtiers he had met had already left, the emperor rested in the inner hall, and when he heard that Mr. Fan was coming, he hurriedly had someone bring him in.

The palace knew for a long time that Mr. Fan was coming. Mrs. Fan used to be the emperor’s wet nurse and was different from the foreign ministers, so the empress, Debi and Duan were all there. After Fan saluted the emperor, the queen brought her concubines forward and gave Fan a half salute.

Although Mrs Fan avoided the empress’s ceremony, Empress Zhang had to do it in such a way. The wet nurse is a court rule. No one, whether it is the queen concubines or the princesses, feeds the children personally, which is regarded as a great faux pas. As soon as a newborn is born, a nursing mother is required.

There is a fundamental difference between a wet nurse and a grandmother. The grandma is a servant who serves others, while the wet nurse is invited to raise the prince Longson. The appearance, character, and family background must be carefully selected. Sometimes the little prince spends more time with the nursing mother than the serious mother, and his position in the royal family is very light.

The imprint of the time of feeding is indelible. Even if he hadn’t seen him for many years, the emperor still felt a sense of closeness when he saw Mrs. Fan, and hurriedly asked for a seat for Mrs. Fan. Fan Shi refused, and finally made a false point and asked the emperor about his daily life over the years.

For the emperor, the image of mother is divided into two parts, the strong and respectable part belongs to the Empress Dowager Jiang, and the gentle and considerate part belongs to the Fan family. The emperor had just lost his mother, and now he heard Fan’s warm and soft words, and his heart was filled with enthusiasm.

The emperor said: “I have Lu Heng to help me in Beijing, and everything is fine. You live in Chengtian Mansion, where the mountains and rivers are far away, so you are too lonely. Why don’t you move back to the capital?”

When the emperor spoke to Fan Shi, Lu Heng stood behind Fan Shi, silent. These words were not discussed in advance, but Lu Heng was not worried. No matter how close the Fan family and the emperor were, they would still be able to distinguish who was the biological child.

Mrs Fan shook her head and said, “My concubine is old, and I can’t get used to the weather in the north. Peace of mind.”

The emperor was heartbroken when he heard the words, and no longer insisted. The emperor looked cunning and wise, but he was actually a very nostalgic person. He can understand this feeling of returning to the roots. Although Empress Dowager Jiang married Anlu, she was originally from the capital, and she had no discomfort when she returned to Beijing in her later years. Fan Shi was different. She was born and raised in Anlu, and it was normal that she didn’t want to leave her homeland.

Fan’s remarks are half-truths. On the one hand, she is not willing to leave her hometown, on the other hand, she is also avoiding disasters.

The fragrance is far and the smell is near, and if she is far away, the emperor will always remember the goodness of his childhood, and Lu Heng can fight in the capital with peace of mind. Mrs. Fan didn’t want to think like this, but if something happened to Lu Heng, Mrs. Fan and Lu Wen stayed away from the capital, which was the last trace of incense left for the Lu family.

Fan shi talked to the emperor again. She looked at the emperor’s face and said with relief: “The emperor has become more and more healthy these years, and his complexion is much stronger than when he first went to the capital. The queen mother has a spirit in the sky, and also I can be at ease.”

The weak body of the emperor has always been a worry for their close officials. Fortunately, the candlelight is weak but continuous. The emperor has gone through danger several times, and every time he can miraculously turn his life around. The emperor also felt that his body was much stronger, and said proudly: “Heavenly Master taught the Tao well, and I have a lot of experience in practicing. And Lu Heng, this time the fire is due to his presence.”

Lu Heng cupped his hands, lowered his eyes and said, “This is what the minister should do.”

Fan didn’t know the details of the fire, but just a few words in the letter had scared her a lot. Fan sighed: “There are many disasters and many blessings. After this disaster, it will be smooth in the future.”

The emperor listened to these words with great care, and he had another conversation with Mr. Fan. As the sky darkened, Mrs. Fan voluntarily retire. The emperor met many people today, and he was indeed a little tired. He didn’t hold back, but said to Lu Heng, “You haven’t been home for many years. You don’t have to wait today. Go back early.”

Lu Heng has never returned to his hometown since he went to Beijing at the age of eleven. The emperor returned to their palace to be nostalgic, and Lu Heng also wanted to talk to his family. The emperor took the initiative to give Lu Heng a holiday, and Lu Heng thanked him for his gratitude, but he didn’t leave in a hurry after coming out. Instead, he sent someone to **** Mr. Fan back, and went to check the defense of the Xingwang Mansion himself.

While Lu Heng was patrolling the same way, someone silently walked behind Lu Heng and whispered in his ear: “We are all commanding the same knowledge, and it has been arranged.”

Lu Heng was promoted from the third rank to the second rank, and his official rank and salary increased, but his position remained the same, and he still held the real power of the commander of Nanzhen Fusi. Lu Heng nodded lightly, and checked the rest of the route, so that he could leave the house in an orderly manner.

Lu Heng would definitely not let Wang Yanqing go back to Lu’s house until he was ready. If his mother or elder sister-in-law asked a wrong question, Lu Heng would be exposed. There is a place in Chengtian Mansion. Lu Heng first placed Wang Yanqing in a clean yard, and only took Wang Yanqing home after the flaws in the ancestral house were dealt with.

Lu Heng accompanies the driver in front of the Holy Spirit, and pays a lot of attention. This kind of temporary transfer is not uncommon, and Wang Yanqing has no doubts at all. She easily rested in the yard, and when it was getting dark, Lu Heng came over in person and picked her up.

Wang Yanqing was a little nervous for some reason, and asked, “Brother, are we going to see my aunt?”

Lu Heng glanced at her and said with a smile, “Auntie?”

Wang Yanqing blushed and bit her lip, not knowing what to say. Lu Heng clenched her hand and took the initiative to relieve the siege: “It doesn’t matter, I won’t force you, you can call it whatever you want. Mother is very sorry after learning that you have lost your memory, and I haven’t been able to sleep well for the past few days. It’s all my fault, don’t mention the past when I go back later to save her discomfort.”

Wang Yanqing did not agree, and immediately nodded: “Okay.”

Prince Xing’s mansion was not far from the Lu family’s ancestral home, and the carriage arrived soon. When Lu Heng came back, he didn’t notify them in advance, and no one greeted them at the door. Of course Lu Heng did it on purpose. He avoided the crowd and personally took Wang Yanqing to the yard where he lived before he was eleven years old: “My father picked you up after he went to the capital, so Anlu doesn’t have your room. I’m not there all year round. , the elder sister-in-law is in charge of the ancestral house, it is not good to cause trouble to the elder sister-in-law, I have wronged you and me these few days.”

Lu Heng always has the ability to speak his selfishness in a high-sounding manner. Wang Yanqing understood that he was careful, but he didn’t think it was wrong.

Probably because this is Lu Heng.

Wang Yanqing took the opportunity of walking to look around quietly. This house occupies a larger area than Lu Heng’s house in the capital, but the decoration is not as gorgeous as the capital, and there is a kind of simplicity of the years everywhere. Wang Yanqing thought that six generations of people lived here. Before she knew Lu Heng, he was born and raised in this place.

She felt some unspeakable feeling in her heart, quietly grabbed Lu Heng’s sleeve, lowered her voice and asked, “Brother, I don’t remember aunt and eldest brother at all…”

Lu Heng’s brows jumped uncontrollably when he heard Wang Yanqing call Big Brother Lu Wen. At that moment, Lu Heng was extremely fortunate that he coaxed Wang Yanqing to change his title. If she still called him “Second Brother” now, Lu Heng would have vomited to death.

Lu Heng smiled warmly, but clenched Wang Yanqing with the other hand: “It doesn’t matter, there is me. You were not familiar with the eldest brother before, and you always follow me.”

“Really?” Wang Yanqing asked earnestly, “Brother, besides you, who else do I have a close relationship with? I have lost my memory, so I have to make it clear to others quickly, otherwise it would be bad to cause misunderstandings.”

Lu Heng smiled: “I don’t know each other, only me.”

Wang Yanqing raised her eyebrows suspiciously: “Really?”

“Yes.” Lu Heng said, “You are too different in age from your eldest brother. When you came, he was about to marry. What can I say to you. We don’t have any girls besides you, so you are not only Follow me.”

Wang Yanqing thought that Lu Heng was the youngest son in the family, so she was five years older than her, and felt completely understandable for a while. Lu Heng glanced at Wang Yanqing’s expression, suddenly put his hand on her waist, and secretly twisted: “What are you thinking?”

Lu Heng was very skillful, and when Wang Yanqing was caught by him, he almost cried out. She forcibly held back and glared at Lu Heng angrily, but did not dare to say anything.

Lu Heng was indeed five years older than her, and she didn’t say he was old.

Lu Heng endured the suffocation, thinking that he was not in a hurry and would settle the account at night. He still smiled and introduced the population of the Lu family to Wang Yanqing: “The family members are very simple, and the mother, Mrs. Fan, has a good temperament, and she has nothing to do with it. The eldest sister-in-law Chu is the daughter of Chengtianfu Wei Zhenfu, and the eldest brother is a baby relative, and now she is in charge of the family’s livelihood, so she can get along well.”

Lu Heng briefly introduced the situation of the Lu family, and Wang Yanqing quickly wrote it down. She recited silently, feeling a little dejected: “We’ve been together for so long, and I don’t know any of them…”

Lu Heng patted her head with a smile and said, “It’s okay.”

They don’t know you either.
