Devil’s Advent

Lu Mansion,

Also known as Fengxin Lady's Mansion.

A family will always have a card, placed in the homes of ordinary people, that is called the pillar or the head of the family, and the Lu Mansion in the capital, although the head of the family is not the old lady, but in the eyes of outsiders, the weight of the Lu Mansion is 90% Nine, all on the crutch of the old lady.

Heaven, earth, king, relative, teacher, although heaven and earth are in front, have never been revealed, so the king is the biggest, as the wet nurse of today's sage, the seniority of Mrs. Fengxin naturally exceeds the ordinary secular balance.

In the Lu Mansion, no matter whether it is the young master, the young lady, or the servants, they all call her the ancestor, and when outsiders visit the Lu Mansion, they respectfully call her the old matriarch.

at this time,

The old lady is kneeling and sitting on the futon, and there is a Buddha statue hanging on the altar table in front of her, and she is silently reciting scriptures.

Behind him, outside the threshold of the small Buddhist hall, Lu Bing, the eldest son of the old matriarch, the head of the Lu family and the secret agent, Lu Bing, was standing respectfully.

Shaoqing,

The old matriarch opened his eyes, and with the help of a maid named Ling Xiang, he slowly got up.

The small Buddhist hall is not small, but the place for worshiping the Buddha is not large. Because there is a bedroom on the west side and a tea house on the east side, it can only be wronged by the Buddha. Although it occupies the center, it is cramped from east to west.

The old lady entered the tea house, and Ling Xiang started to make tea.

A cup of chrysanthemum tea, refreshing and fragrant, was given to the old lady;

A cup of Maojian, with a mellow aftertaste, is for the master.

The old lady put down the beads, picked up the teacup, and said:

"Say it."

Lu Bing didn't touch the tea, but said respectfully:

"Mom, why?"

Why did the Lu family get involved in this matter.

The prince is watching,

Manchu civil and military officials are watching,

This big wedding is destined to be a hot potato, others avoid it, but my family accepts it.

And it wasn't him, the Patriarch, who picked it up, it was his own mother who picked it up.

The old lady took a sip of tea, silently stroked the petals with the lid of the cup, and said:

"Because he is His Majesty's son."

Lu Bing sat upright, as if he was asking his mother for advice, and asked:

"Why?"

"You're asking my mother, why did you help Little Six?"

"Yes, what my son asked is this."

"Mother, I have already answered you."

Lu Bing frowned slightly, obviously puzzled.

The old lady put down her teacup and continued:

"I'm used to being pure for my mother. Your family is also taking care of the mundane affairs of the house. Man, as long as the life is peaceful, this kind of thought will not be so much.

In your opinion, being a mother is helping the little six;

But in Wei Niang's eyes, she only helped His Majesty's children.

Don't say it was the little six who came to the door, it was other princes who came to the door, even if the third child in the Huxin Pavilion escaped by himself and came to the door of our Lu residence to knock.

We, too, want to help. "

Lu Bing opened his lips slightly, and he seemed to have figured it out a bit.

"The Lu family is different from other mansions. As a mother, it may be a little more straightforward. Don't dislike it."

"Mother, just say it, son will save it."

"The scene of the Lu family today, and the errands you brothers have today are all due to the love of your mother who was your mother."

In the real wealthy families of this era, the work of the wet nurse is not only to nurse the child until the child is weaned, but to continue to be an old mother after weaning, and to wait for the child to grow up.

Therefore, Mrs. Fengxin not only has the friendship of breastfeeding the current Majesty, but when he was a child in the palace, His Majesty was brought up by Mrs. Fengxin.

"My son understands." Lu Bing said respectfully.

This is a fact.

"So, our Lu family is different from those ministers, because there is such a relationship between our Lu family and the Holy One, so we are family members.

Between ordinary courtiers and the emperor, there is the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, but we have an extra love.

You are also clear about the virtues of your younger brothers, but each of them has an errand, this is the emperor's love for us.

Since you are a member of the family, how could you not help if the younger generation begged the old man?

you remember

Don't say it's Little Six this time,

That is, one day a certain prince rebelled and was about to be arrested. He ran to the door of our Lu family and knocked on the door. Our Lu family had to open the door for him.

Don't worry that His Majesty will punish the crime, even if the crime is punished, it will not be more serious than the crime of not opening the door.

Because they are princes, His Majesty's real family members, and His Majesty's own sons, His Majesty can bully them. After all, it is only natural for me to beat my son.

But if others dare to do so,

You have to weigh yourself,

Do you have the qualifications?

His Majesty's son, only His Majesty can move, if you let him kneel, you can kneel, if you let him lie on his stomach, he can lie on his stomach. If anyone else dares to make trouble, it will be disrespectful to His Majesty.

Let's talk about us, our Lu family, if we don't even have this kindness with His Majesty, what else can we rely on? "

"Yes, mother, my son understands."

"Let's talk a little bit more about you, thing, since my mother has already agreed, today, the little six will come to our house to marry someone.

Red lanterns, red silk, happy noodles, etc. These things can be bought with silver, so they are nothing at all.

I have to be more enthusiastic about the girl of the He family, and be more heart-warming. Even if I pinch myself, I have to wipe a little tear for my old body, and make a gesture of being distressed when I marry a daughter.

True or not, like, fake or not,

That's a later story,

As long as the attitude is in place, this feeling will be accepted, and in the future, at least there will be a reason to walk around.

Today, you give others face, tomorrow, they will give you face;

You are usually too shrewd, my mother is afraid that she will be confused for a while and won't be able to settle this account. "

"What did you hear, mother?"

"Hehe, it's just some gossip."

"My son is incapable of managing the family, and disturbed my mother's peace. This is my fault."

"You have a lot of things to do, so you don't have much time to take care of the family. It's because of your mother's laziness. You just want to be quiet and don't want to take care of things. On weekdays, listening to those little birds chirping a few times can relieve your boredom.

But when it comes to serious business, they can't help their nonsense. "

"I will obey my mother's orders."

The old lady picked up the teacup again,

Ling Xiang stepped forward and said:

"Master, yesterday when I delivered supper to Miss He's family, the second and youngest mistress taught her the rules of drinking tea in front of Miss He."

When Lu Bing heard this, his eyes froze.

The second young lady is the daughter-in-law of Lu Bing's second son.

The old lady took another sip of tea, put it down and said:

"I was too young for my mother, women, sometimes you are really small-minded, ha ha."

Lu Bing got up, cupped his hands and said:

"Mother ordered."

"Xiao Nanzi's daughter-in-law belongs to the Qiu family, right?"

"Yes, from the Qiu family."

"Well, it's not considered a small family, but... let's go."

"yes."

"People from our Lu family don't have much ability, because people like us didn't start their careers on ability.

However, you must not be stupid.

One of Xiao Nanzi's legs was broken, and the cry must be heard by the girl of the He family. "

"yes."

Even if it was his son's leg that was about to be interrupted, Lu Bing still agreed without hesitation.

The old lady picked up the prayer beads again and said:

"Dare to look down on the background of the daughter of the He family, and feel that the butcher's family background is low, ha ha;

I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the stuff, and I don't even look at what I am.

The daughter of the He family wants to marry the prince, and the man wants to be the master. We are just a group of slaves.

In this world, how can a slave dare to laugh at a master who doesn't understand the rules of drinking tea!

rule,

What are the rules?

In the eyes of us slaves, the master's words are the rules! "

"Yes, mother, my son has recorded it."

"Girl."

"The servant is here." Ling Xiang responded.

"Call Yueyue and the others to come in and help me put on formal clothes."

Lu Bing was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said:

"Mother, you..."

The old lady glanced at her son and said:

"Although you also played with His Majesty and Liang Ting as a little follower, but you were still young at that time, and there are some things you don't know."

You don't know what, the old lady didn't say that.

That is, in the eyes of the old matriarch, there are too many places in Little Six that resemble His Majesty when he was young.

Especially that night, when the little six sons came to the Buddhist hall to beg him, his expression, posture, and tone of voice were exactly the same as those carved out of His Majesty's mold.

But these words really cannot be said, not even his own son.

Everyone in the world said that His Majesty's succession to the throne is very smooth, because among the children of the previous emperor, His Majesty is so outstanding, so good that he hardly needs to think about other things.

But this does not mean that the other children of the first emperor are all useless.

"Since my Lu family is temporarily acting as the maiden's house for Miss He's family today, I have to come out to support the young lady of He's family as an old man."

talking,

The old lady looked at Lu Bing with piercing eyes,

I sighed in my heart:

Although I am old, I can still stand up and earn another share of love for my Lu family.

Ling Xiang said:

"Old ancestor, it is enough for the servants to serve you."

The old lady waved her hand and said:

"The little lady of the He family didn't have a girl by her side when she was young, so she is lonely and lonely to marry now, Ling Xiang, you were trained by me personally, you have been by my side since childhood.

Here, I don't need you to serve for the time being, go to freshen up and dress up, be this dowry girl, and enter the house together. "

Ling Xiang's heart was shocked, she only really knew about this arrangement, but she immediately took three steps back, knelt down in front of the old matriarch,

road:

"The servant knows."

She didn't say anything provocative, such as reluctance, feelings, etc., because Ling Xiang knew that the old man she had served for so many years in front of her could see too many things through her eyes.

"Your parents, brother and sister-in-law are working as servants in my Lu family now, right?"

"Yes, ancestor, thanks to the support and support of the ancestor."

It is really a great blessing and luck to be a servant in a wealthy family.

The old lady nodded,

road:

"Within a year, if you become pregnant, then wait for the funeral of your parents, brother and sister-in-law."

"..." Ling Xiang.

The old matriarch looked at Lingxiang, with a smile on his lips, and continued:

"You are a smart and quick-witted girl. The young lady of the He family is pregnant and can't take care of her. It stands to reason that you, a dowry girl, have the ritual of sharing the same bed;

But since you are the girl sent by my Lu family as a dowry, you were originally used by my Lu family to show favor to the young lady of the He family. If you make people evil because of you, why bother to come to my Lu family?

Don't blame my ancestors for being cruel. I am doing this for your own good. Pregnant women, especially women who are pregnant with their first child, are the most careful.

Even if Ji Chengjue is really on top of the beast and wants to force you, then you have to hold the hairpin to your neck. If you dare to obey, you can do it if you are old. "

"Yes, the servant girl knows."

"One year, you just wait for one year. It's yours, and it's not bad for this year. After one year, if you want to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, you can do whatever you want, but you have to wait for me for this year.

Say something that is not afraid of taboos,

What's the point of fighting for a prince's mansion? If you really have that opportunity in the future, you can fight for it generously.

If you can really win, my children and grandchildren of the Lu family may have to rely on you, Miss Lingxiang, to take care of them. "

"The old ancestor's kindness to the servants is as great as a mountain, and the servants would never dare to..."

"alright."

The old lady interrupted Ling Xiang,

"If the old man can live to that time licking his face, when it's time to say the rules, the old body will kneel down to you without hesitation.

Go on down and tidy up yourself. "

"Yes, old ancestor."

Ling Xiang went down.

The old lady looked at her son and said:

"Don't stay here, remember, you are going to marry a girl today, anyway, you can also act."

Lu Bing ignored his mother's last words and just saluted silently, preparing to leave.

The old lady said again:

"Don't be afraid, don't worry, the matter of seizing the heir is not something you can get out of if you don't want to, but as long as you do things with your heart, no one can judge you on this matter, because we Lu The family is the emperor's family slave, and only the emperor can decide the fate of our Lu family.

When doing things, you don't have to be tied up, and you can do things with the attitude of doing things for the emperor. "

"Thank you, son, for your mother's teaching. My son has saved me a lot."

"Go."

"Yes, my son is leaving."

After leaving the Small Buddha Hall, Lu Bing ordered the old butler beside him to find a stick.

He will break his second son's leg later.

While standing there waiting,

What his mother said earlier appeared in Lu Bing's mind.

actually,

Wei Zhonghe only confirmed today that in His Majesty's hands, there is also an intelligence office independent of the Secret Service Department. That government office is more secretive, and at the same time, may have greater authority, and may even be watching the Secret Service Department.

But in this world, not many people know that the person who helped Emperor Yan manage this yamen is Lu Bing, who in the eyes of the world was given an errand because his mother was once His Majesty's wet nurse. This, His Majesty's wet nurse elder brother.

So,

Lu Bing knew more about the Sixth Prince than anyone else, the relationship between the Sixth Prince and the remnants of the Min family, the relationship between the Sixth Prince and Ping Yebo, and the face that the Sixth Prince had been hiding for years.

a long time,

Lu Bing let out a sigh:

"Mother, you said that the matter of seizing the heirloom is not something you can avoid if you want to, it's true;

But mother, you know,

People are not fighting with their brothers at all,

he,

It's a fight with His Majesty. "
