Chapter 256 My name is Lu Cai, the Queen’s dog.
Feed the empress.
Su Changan suffered a loss.
When the empress left, her face was pink, and it was clearly visible even under the moonlight.
Standing at the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Changan watched Xia Fengxiang and Sun Shanggong leave in a carriage. He could no longer hold his breath, so he held his waist with one hand and the gate of the Su Mansion with the other.
I thought to myself that it was all thanks to this [Yiweiting] energy, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to endure it for so long.
But at the same time, he was wondering why his wife was so happy today.
Say what you said to make her happy.
But after thinking about it, Su Changan couldn't figure out what he said.
Anyway, today I feel inexplicably disgusting!
That sentence really came true.
As for the word love, I don’t know where it comes from, where it stays, where it ends, where it ends, where it ends.
but.
At the moment, Su Changan was too lazy to think about it. He held his slender waist, sighed, and wondered whether he should ask Mao Mao to get some supplements for him.
Yan Ruyu and Lian Wei saw Su Changan like this and hurried forward: "Your Majesty."
Su Changan looked at the two of them, coughed, and shook his head: "Nothing!"
As he said this, he used the [Yiweiting] mantra to regulate his breathing again.
Then he forced himself to turn around and walked towards Yimeiyuan.
However, after taking only a few steps, Su Changan looked behind him at Yan Ruyu and Lian Wei, who were looking at him with strange expressions, and Su Changan coughed again.
But he hasn't spoken yet.
"sister!!"
Su Changan heard Su Zhaoxin's voice.
Turning around, I saw Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er, two little ones, hiding behind a decorative rockery.
But maybe it was because he saw that Su Changan and Yan Ruyu were in danger.
Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er also ran over.
But seeing that Su Changan's face was not very good, Su Wan'er hurriedly asked: "Big sister, what's wrong with you?"
As he said this, he walked forward and intended to support Su Changan.
Su Changan had a strange look on his face.
Su Zhaoxin also came up quickly and said, "Sister, what happened? It looks like you sprained your waist?"
Su Changan looked at Su Zhaoxin and gave him a slap on the face. Then he said seriously, "What do you think we should do about the eunuchs who came to the palace today?"
Su Zhaoxin covered his head, looking aggrieved: "I am doing this for your own good. My second sister told me which eunuch was on standby at any time. I don't know the rules of the palace."
After saying that, Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Changan who had his hands on his waist and supported his waist and said: "And you see, that eunuch must not be that good, you are like this! Your waist is sprained!"
If it weren't for the latter part, Su Changan wouldn't care, but after hearing the latter part, Su Changan immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at Su Wan'er and said, "Give him a beating."
Su Wan'er nodded, and took off the small short sword hanging behind her along with the scabbard. Then the child looked at Su Chang'an: "Sister, what's the reason?"
Su Changan asked back: "A sister needs a reason to beat her brother?"
Su Wan'er thought about it and nodded. What reason do I need to beat my brother? Then she swung the scabbard in her hand towards Su Zhaoxin.
Moon
My brother shouted at me to stop hitting him.
My sister just keeps chasing and beating me regardless of anything else!
Su Changan watched from afar, holding his waist and looking up at the bright moon in the sky. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Yan Ruyu and Lian Wei and said, "Let's go back."
I went back and asked the cat to help rub my waist.
…
Under the same moon, on the carriage returning to the palace.
The Queen of Great Xia looked at the memorials submitted in the afternoon regarding the affairs of the Kingdom of Dashi and the Kingdom of Qule, as well as the memorials submitted by the Ministry of Rites, the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Punishments, and the Taichang Temple regarding the rebellious behavior of these foreign countries.
Xia Fengxiang suddenly burst out laughing.
Palace Lady Sun looked towards Xia Fengxiang.
After Xia Fengxiang coughed, he found it funny when he thought about how Su Changan was trying hard to act like nothing was wrong.
After blushing slightly, I thought
It hurts, so why pretend? !
…
Xuzhou of Daxia is located only more than a month's journey away from the capital, but unlike the capital, there was heavy snow in the capital some time ago, but recently the ice and snow have melted and the weather has been sunny for several days.
However, it has been snowing heavily in Xuzhou these days. The snow has finally stopped, but it has continued to snow for several days. The ground is covered with snow, and when people walk on it, the snow covers their feet.
More than 30 miles outside Xuzhou City, there is a village called Dahe. The village got its name because there is a big river running from south to north through the village.
Like other places, Dahe Village was currently covered with snow, and the surface of the river was frozen.
However, today, the people in the village did not stay at home with their wives and children. Instead, they were wearing thick coats and either standing outside, or leaning on the wall, or looking at the dilapidated courtyard at the entrance of the village in the moonlight from afar.
The moonlight shone on the snow, and even though it was the middle of the night, people could see everything clearly.
At that moment, people were breathing heavily, putting their hands in their sleeves, and looking curiously at the yard with fire on.
"Is the child's father really Lu Cai's child?"
"I saw it for real, it's for sure!"
"I heard that the brat was sold to the palace by human traffickers. How can he get out now?"
"I dare not say anything to you, brat. Your clothes are made of the same material as those worn by the grown men in the city. If we take all of them together, it would be enough for us to use during the New Year. Besides, I heard that you just borrowed a pen and paper from the old man's house to write something. You can read now! You have great potential!"
"This is a developed country. Well, what do scholars say? What does it mean?"
"He's been packing up since he went in. Wow, is he going to move back? It's incredible. You didn't see what he looked like when he came back. The bag he was carrying was so big!"
"Oh, if he really becomes rich, will he still remember that I brought him food?"
"His sister is gone, and it was all my fault!! He should have given us a silver ingot."
"If you ask me, let's not worry about it for now. Lu Cai is a good kid! But if this kid really becomes rich, then Old Liu's family will be in big trouble. When Lu Cai's sister left, they shouted for Lu Cai to get out of the village. His family was the most noisy. And the black dog blood in the yard was also sprinkled by Old Liu's wife, saying it was bad luck! And, didn't Old Liu also clamor to dig up the graves of Lu Cai's parents and his sister, but in the end it was the old man who stopped them? Let's just watch the fun first!"
"Ouch, it's out! It's out!"
…
Around the dilapidated courtyard, the villagers were talking to each other, and when they saw Lu Cai, dressed in nice clothes, holding a lamp and carrying a clay pot, walking out of the courtyard, everyone immediately stretched their necks and stared at Lu Cai.
After walking out of the yard, Lu Cai looked at the hunchbacked old man standing at the gate, bowed and said, "Grandpa, I'll return the paper and pen to you."
Having said that, Lu Cai handed the paper and pen back to the old man.
The old man's face was full of traces of time. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Cai, who seemed a little strange. He didn't look like the same person at all. The main thing was that this teenage boy didn't look like a baby at all!
The most important thing is, how can a doll have a bunch of white hair!
But after taking the paper and pen, he still asked: "Second Talent, tell me, what kind of a jerk are you doing out there? And why are you coming back to the village this time?"
Hearing this, Lu Cai glanced at the couple hiding behind him.
The couple noticed Lu Cai looking at them and were startled. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lu Cai.
Lu Cai smiled at the two of them, then looked at the old man and said, "I came back to bury someone next to my parents and my sister. After the burial, I will leave."
The old man pursed his lips and glanced at the jar Lu Cai was holding.
"Who are you burying?"
At this time, a woman ran out and looked at Lu Cai curiously.
Lu Cai saw the woman smiling and bowing again.
The woman, who had lived in the mountains all her life, had never seen such a noise before. She was immediately startled and said with a smile, "Oh, I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have only seen others like this in the city. Lu Cai is really promising!"
Lu Cai looked at the woman and said, "Aunt, long time no see."
The woman said with a cheerful smile: "You still remember me, right! The representative hasn't changed. Who is buried here? What do you want me to do?"
Lu Cai shook his head and said, "It's my master who is buried. You don't have to do anything. I can go there by myself."
Having said that, Lu Cai didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked towards the grave.
The woman wanted to say something, but the man next to her pulled her back and signaled her not to speak.
But the woman glared at her man, ran to Lu Cai and said, "Lu Cai, didn't you go to the palace?"
Lu Cai smiled, said nothing, and continued walking towards the grave. Having spent several months in the palace, Lu Cai could see clearly what the woman wanted.
Seeing that Lu Cai ignored her, the woman frowned, but continued to chatter when she looked at the clothes on Lu Cai. She wanted to ask what Lu Cai was doing now. At the same time, she kept talking about her relationship with Lu Cai's mother and how she had taken care of Lu Cai in the past.
But Lu didn't say anything.
The woman was also bored, staring at Lu Cai's back, thinking to herself, "What an ungrateful bastard! It's a pity that I gave you some oil-splashed noodles to eat before!"
After secretly spitting, she returned to her man.
The grave of Lu Cai's family is at the east end of the village. Basically, all the dead members of the Lu family in the village are buried here.
The graves of Lu Cai's parents and sister are also here, under a jujube tree.
But it is winter after all, and the jujube trees are withered and covered with snow, which looks quite beautiful.
Lu Cai walked over and looked at the dead grass sticking out from the snow on the graves of his parents and sister. He then put his master's urn aside and began to clean it.
The boy cleaned it very carefully and cautiously.
The villagers in the distance watched Lu Cai's actions, but no one came up to help. Although some wanted to curry favor with him, after seeing what happened to the woman just now, they all thought there was no point in helping and just watched.
It was a long time before Lu cleaned up the graves of his family members.
Then he knelt down, took out a string of candied haws from his arms and placed it in front of his sister's grave, then took out some peach blossom cakes and placed them in front of his mother's grave, and finally took out a chicken leg and placed it in front of his father's grave.
After kowtowing several times, there were no tears in Lu Cai's eyes. He just wiped the tombstone carefully.
It's called a tombstone, but it's actually just a piece of wood. There are no words on the wood except for the names of his parents.
The person in the village who can write charges money for writing, one penny for three words.
When his parents passed away, they were ill and the family had little money. These few words were earned by Lu Cai and his sister after a day of hard labor in the village in the middle of winter.
But on the wood of Sister Lu Cai, the word "sister" was written.
Crooked.
It was written by Lu Cai himself, because he had no money at the time. In order to buy medicinal materials for his sister's medical treatment, all the valuables in the house were spent. In the end, no one in the village wanted the little stuff he had, so Lu Cai wrote according to the words on other people's tombstones. In fact, it was a painting, because Lu Cai didn't know how to write at the time.
Looking at the signs of his parents and sister, Lu Cai smiled and then sobbed a little, but did not let the tears flow.
Just wipe it carefully and look at the chicken leg in front of his father.
Lu Cai's father was a farmer and also a first-class hunter in the village. Since he couldn't farm in the winter, he went hunting in the mountains.
Once, in order to nourish Lu Cai's mother, he went hunting in the mountains on a snowy day and never came back.
Finally, the villagers went to look for it and found the body.
Lu was only five years old that year. He still remembers that when his father went out, he told him to bring back chicken legs.
I also remember that before my father left the house, he looked at me and said, "Son, Dad is leaving."
…
Lu Cai's mother was an ordinary village girl, with ordinary looks and ordinary everything, but she had always been in good health.
However, after the woman gave birth to Lu Cai, she did not take good care of herself during the confinement period, which left her with a chronic illness that has not been cured and her body is getting weaker and weaker.
After Lu Cai's father passed away, the woman forced herself to work in the fields in order to raise her two children.
It's still winter.
The woman couldn't hold on any longer and fell completely ill.
At that time, the woman was already skinny and her face was dry and ugly.
But that morning, the woman got the strength from nowhere and got up early, cleaned the house inside and out, and mended the cotton jackets for her daughter and son.
Then he went out and found some food from somewhere. When he got home, he made a big table of delicious food for his daughter and son. He also got some peach blossom pastry, which was delicious.
When Lu Cai and her sister came back after a day's work, they saw the woman sitting at the table waiting for them. They thought their mother had recovered from her illness and jumped up and down excitedly.
The woman trembled as she kept picking up food for the children, giving them the precious peach blossom cakes.
The woman had nothing to eat that night. The woman, who had suffered from illness, looked at her two children with a happy smile on her face. She thought, such good children, where could you find them in the world, and how come such good children came to her home?
at night.
The woman coaxed her son and daughter to sleep.
She forced herself to stay weak and covered her daughter and son with a blanket for the last time. Then, in order not to cause trouble for the two children, she walked to her husband's grave alone and started digging her own grave.
The next day, the villagers found the woman.
The pit was not dug very deep, in fact only two shovels were used, but the woman held the shovel tightly on the ground, as if she didn't want to cause trouble for her two children.
…
Lu Cai's sister is very beautiful, famous for her beauty.
But no one in the village suggested getting married, because everyone said that these two siblings would bring bad luck to their parents and were very unlucky!
So no matter how beautiful it is, the villagers will say that it is the reincarnation of a fox spirit, out to take people’s lives!
But the brother and sister didn't care.
Besides, Sister Lu Cai does hard labor, so even though she looks fine, her hands have been covered with calluses for a long time, which don’t look like the hands a girl should have.
Once the girl dug some medicinal herbs from the mountains and took Lu Cai to the town to sell them.
When the brother and sister saw the candied haws, they were very greedy.
In the end, the candied haws seller gave one to the brother and sister for free, but they refused to take it.
But the elder sister took out a penny that was enough for the two siblings to survive for a day and bought one.
But she didn't eat a single bite and let Lu Cai eat it. When Lu Cai refused to eat, she started scolding him.
at last.
At night, Lu Cai saw his sister licking the stick in the middle of the night.
Then Lu decided to buy candied haws for his sister.
but.
His sister fell into a big river. The river water was very fast that day and her sister hit her head on a rock and could no longer move for the rest of her life.
It was around this time last year that my sister died. When she saw her brother cooking, she cried and closed her eyes, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
From that day on, Lu Cai was left alone.
It was also from that day that Lu Cai became known as a jinx in the eyes of many people in the village.
…
Kneeling in front of the graves of his parents and sister, Lu Cai muttered for a while, describing in detail how he was doing now, how he was doing, and how he had met a very good queen. After he had told everything in detail,
Lu Cai stood up, glanced at his sister, picked up the shovel he had just brought, and started digging quickly.
Lu Cai dug two pits in total.
This made the villagers curious. Why did they dig two pits?
In the pit next to his sister's, he buried his tattered old clothes.
Then he carefully placed his master's ashes in the pit next to his father.
Cover with soil.
There are still two wooden signs on the grave.
One of them has the two words "Lu Cai" written on it.
One says Song En.
Looking at his master's grave, Lu Cai kowtowed three times.
Master, I am leaving soon. Please stay here. My parents and sister are all very nice people. You are not alone anymore. No one here will let you kill anyone.
After muttering to himself for a few words, Lu took out the wine and poured it in front of his master's grave.
Then he kowtowed a few more times.
Then he looked at his own grave, didn't say anything, just came to the grave of his sister and parents and knelt down again.
Dad, mom, sister.
I leave myself here to accompany you. You won’t like the way Lu Cai is going to live next, so I leave my old self here to accompany you.
The Queen has been very kind to me. She is such a good person and doesn't like to kill people, so she asked me to come. But don't worry, I will try my best to survive, eat chicken legs, peach cakes, and candied haws, and live a good life.
After saying this, Lu Cai kowtowed a few more times.
Then he stood up, looked at the graves, and wiped away the tears from his eyes.
I can't cry anymore. I can't cry anymore.
Thinking of this, Lu Cai once again looked deeply at his parents, his sister, his master, and his own grave.
A gentle smile.
Father, mother, master, sister.
I'm leaving.
Afterwards, Lu Cai picked up the package under the jujube tree, turned around and walked towards the old man in the village.
The villagers looked at Lu Cai curiously, but they really didn't know what Lu Cai was doing.
Lu Cai walked up to the old man and handed the package to him: "Grandpa, here is the silver. There is an account in it. It records who helped our family after my father passed away, and every time the villagers helped me when my mother and my sister were young, I wrote down how much money I gave to these uncles and aunts as a reward. I am leaving tonight, so please help me divide the silver."
The old man took the package and felt it was heavy. After hearing Lu Cai's words, his expression was stunned, but he was about to say something.
Lu Cai smiled and said, "Master, no one will cause trouble, don't worry."
After that, Lu Cai looked at the villagers and said, "My dear uncles and aunts, I remember all the help from my family. These are all prepared for you. I am repaying your kindness on behalf of my parents and my sister. I know how much you have helped, and everyone will be satisfied."
Hearing these words, many people in the village's eyes lit up, and their faces immediately became happy. They looked at the package in the old man's hand, wondering how much silver it would take to put it in such a big package!
Among them, the woman who had just called Lu Cai an ungrateful person laughed the most happily.
Voices of approval came out immediately.
Those who didn't help before are now extremely regretful!
But Lu Cai didn't care about these.
He walked straight to the old couple who had been dodging Lu Cai before, bowed and said, "Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, my master told me that a favor must be repaid, so I came back today thinking about repaying the favor. If some people in the village hadn't helped earlier, my sister and I wouldn't have lived that long."
Hearing this, the old couple didn't understand anything and just laughed dryly.
The old man nodded even more: "Yes, yes, it's time to repay the favor, it's time to repay the favor. Hehehe."
Lu Cai looked at the old man and still smiled: "But my master also said that revenge must be taken, no matter how late it is, but it must be taken! You two said that I was a jinx at that time, I don't care. But you spread rumors about my sister and insulted my parents, I do care. So, please die."
"?"
Lu Cai's words were extremely calm and emotionless.
But when the villagers heard what Lu Cai said, they hadn't reacted yet.
Lu Caide shook his hand lightly, and under the moonlight, a clear golden thread trembled slightly.
Then
Everyone saw two heads falling to the ground.
It was the heads of the old couple.
Everyone blinked and looked at the ground stained with blood.
moment!
Screams occurred immediately!
Everyone immediately showed a look of horror on their faces.
Lu Cai looked down at the two heads.
Master, you are right. Killing those who should be killed has nothing to do with status or position. Being magnanimous and not bearing grudges are not suitable for people like us.
Why should I let these little people go just because I have a high status?
After smiling slightly, Lu Cai turned around and no longer looked at the villagers behind him who had horrified faces.
but.
People saw it.
Just at the entrance of the village, two more people appeared without my knowing when!
When Lu Cai came in front of the two men, he bowed slightly.
The two men immediately clasped their fists towards Lu Cai and said, "Lu Diao Si! The commander-in-chief has ordered that we will take care of whatever you want to do, but you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. We can't follow you any further. The commander-in-chief also said that whether you can return to the palace alive depends on your own ability."
Lu Cai nodded: "Thank you both for your help."
As he spoke, Lu Cai took out a folded piece of paper from his bosom and said, "This is a letter I am presenting to Her Majesty. Please help me pass it on to Her Majesty."
When the two people from the Divine Strategy Palace heard this, one of them immediately took it with both hands and said, "I will hand it over to the Queen personally."
then
The two looked at Lu Cai, a young master who was now at the fifth level, and immediately clasped their fists and said, "I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
Lu Cai watched the two men bow in return, then said nothing more and turned to walk out of the village.
But when he reached the village entrance, Lu turned back and looked in the direction of the grave.
Lu Cai felt that he saw a couple hugging each other, with a boy and a girl jumping around and laughing beside them, and an old man sitting under a jujube tree, holding a wine cup and looking at the family in front of him with a smile, then pursing his lips.
Sudden
The family of four and the old man suddenly looked at him.
The family of four looked at him, smiling and waving, especially the innocent little boy who was smiling even more.
The old man looked at him and waved.
It seemed like he was saying goodbye.
Lu Cai knelt down in that direction, kowtowed three times, then stood up, turned around and left.
There are tears in the corners of my eyes.
It was wiped away by Lu Cai.
My name is Lu Cai, the Queen's dog.
