Chapter 290 Youthful Emotions
He pulled aside the messy hair in front of him, "Grandma, I am Lei Yun, look, I am really back."
"Grandson, wuwuwu." Old Madam Lei shook her body with a cane and threw herself into Lei Yun's arms, "My grandson, how long have you been dead for your soul to come back?"
"Grandma, I'm not a ghost, I'm alive and well, look."
Old Madam Lei pinched Lei Yun's face, "This beard pierced my hand, but you are really alive, you are not dead."
"Grandma, who told you that I was dead."
"I heard that the epidemic in Lingnan is so serious."
"But did you hear that the emperor went to Lingnan in person?"
"That's not the case. Did the emperor lead the army in person?" This should be a secret of the court and would not be announced to the public. It was reasonable for her not to know.
"Well, the epidemic was under control last month. I returned to Beijing with the emperor. The emperor sympathized with us and was willing to let us return together. I was also rewarded by the emperor and promoted to Changyuefeng." Since
his father passed away and he took over the throne, he has not returned to Beijing for ten years.
On weekdays, he would write a letter to his grandmother every month. Later, during the year of the Lingnan epidemic, he rarely wrote.
Grandmother has always lived a simple life, and there are not many maids and servants in the Lei Mansion. In addition, he rarely saw the emperor on weekdays, spoke bluntly, was not very sociable, and was not a favorite of the emperor. This Lei Mansion, to be honest, was not as luxurious as other generals' mansions.
But this is also in line with grandma's temperament.
"When are you going back to Lingnan? How long do you plan to stay at home this time?"
"The emperor has granted me a long vacation and asked me to take up my post in the capital. I haven't
made up my mind yet." Old Lady Lei patted Lei Yun's hand, "You should think carefully about your career. The emperor is kind and righteous. No matter what you do, just be clear in your conscience."
"Yes, grandson understands.
" "By the way, I have to ask the kitchen to cook a few more dishes to welcome you." Old Lady Lei was particularly happy today.
"I...we?" Lei Yun was a little confused.
Old Lady Lei chuckled, "Don't say it, I understand, I understand everything."
Lei Yun was dumbfounded. No, did grandma misunderstand something?
"Old lady, there is a woman outside who wants to see her in the mansion." The maid Xiaohe came to report.
Old Madam Lei smiled with her lips covered, very happy, "Quick, quick, go and bring the person in, it's not decent to let people wait outside, how embarrassing."
Lei Yun was puzzled.
"How about this, I will go with you to meet my future granddaughter-in-law."
Lei Yun was shocked, "Grandma, no, this time I return to Beijing..."
"Old Madam, General Lei." Lin Rumeng entered the mansion first in casual clothes.
She had been waiting outside for a while, but no one from the Lei Mansion came out, so she simply entered without being invited.
Old Madam Lei was stunned.
Lei Yun was dumbfounded!
"This person, why does she look so familiar?" Old Madam Lei thought for a while, "Empress Hui! Are you the Empress Hui from the palace?"
Lin Rumeng didn't expect that she would be recognized by the old lady at a glance even though she took off her palace clothes and wore casual clothes.
For a moment, she was a little embarrassed, "Yes, old lady."
"Grandson, where is our Lei family's granddaughter-in-law? Why is your daughter-in-law not here, but Concubine Hui is here?"
Lei Yun had already been dumbfounded by his grandmother's words "Concubine Hui".
Lin Rumeng, entered the palace as a concubine?
It really proved what Lin Xuanzhi said, the lover who fell in love at first sight ten years ago, I'm afraid he has already married someone else, but he didn't expect that the woman ten years ago, actually married the emperor.
"Grandmother, where did your grandson get a daughter-in-law?" Lei Yun was a little embarrassed. Although he hadn't seen Concubine Hui for ten years, he thought he would be more or less moved when he met her again. However, his heart was as calm as water, and his mood was calmer than he thought.
Old Madam Lei frowned, "No wife? Why did you come back without a wife? My God, my grandson is already over 30 years old, and he still doesn't have a wife."
Lei Yun: ...
So it doesn't matter whether he comes home or not.
The most important thing is whether he brings back a wife or not?
You are really a grandmother!
"Old Madam, the meal is ready. Please take a seat, old madam, the major general and the young lady."
"What young lady! This is the Concubine Hui from the palace." Old Madam Lei said quickly.
Xiao He was so scared that she almost cried. She knelt on the ground and cried for mercy. As God knows, she had just entered the Lei Mansion to serve and had never seen the Concubine Hui.
What's more, this Concubine Hui was still dressed as a girl and didn't have a bun for marriage. She thought she was the major general's unmarried daughter-in-law.
"Look, this is what happened." Old Lady Lei also felt very embarrassed.
But the most embarrassed one was Concubine Hui.
"Concubine Hui came to the Lei Mansion today because..." Lei Yun frowned.
Lin Rumeng smiled, "I heard that General Lei returned to the capital, so I made a special trip to visit you."
"Concubine Hui is serious. You are a concubine and I am a subordinate. It is always against the rules to meet in private. If Concubine Hui has nothing to do, please go back."
Old Lady Lei looked at Lei Yun, then at Concubine Hui. As an experienced person, she understood it at a glance.
OK.
She turned around and went straight into the room.
The grandson just came back, but he didn't bring his grandson's wife back, but brought back a trouble.
Seeing that Madam Lei had left, only Lei Yun and Concubine Hui were left in the courtyard. Concubine Hui no longer hid her feelings and smiled at Lei Yun, "Lei Yun, long time no see, I hope you are well."
"You are too polite, Concubine Hui."
"Lei Yun, we haven't seen each other for ten years. You don't have to be so polite to me. I am not in the palace now. You don't have to call me Concubine Hui, just call me by my name."
"No, Concubine Hui and I... after all, we don't have much friendship."
Ten years ago, he met Hui Fei in Lingnan. At that time, Hui Fei was just the daughter of the Lin family.
He was a soldier who had never seen the world. When he saw the bright, beautiful, simple and kind Lin Rumeng, he fell in love with her at first sight.
The two of them got along as friends in Lingnan for nearly a month. A month later, he told Lin Rumeng his feelings.
But that day, she was going back to Beijing.
She said, "Brother Lei Yun, when you return to Beijing, if you are not married and I am not married, I will marry you and be your only wife."
He has been thinking about this sentence for ten years.
During this period, he even exchanged letters with her.
Later, he sent letters back to the capital one by one, but never received a reply.
He asked someone in the capital to inquire about Lin Rumeng's news, but there was no news.
Later, he completely cut off contact with Lin Rumeng.
This return to Beijing was accidental.
He knew that after ten years, she might have married and lived a peaceful life.
Therefore, when he saw Lin Rumeng appear in Lei Mansion, he was still quite surprised that she knew he was back so quickly.
When his grandmother said that she was the current Concubine Hui, he accepted it calmly.
The past is the past.
