On the morning of the third day of winter, Lin Jinrong woke up and found Yilang's small body pressed tightly against her arms. She clearly felt that today was much colder than usual. She carefully put on her clothes and stood up, holding Yilang's hand.
The quilt was tight and tight. When the curtains were opened, a bit of cool white light penetrated through the gaps in the curtains. It was actually snowing.
Lin Jinrong leaned her head back on the bed and sighed silently. It was time for Lu Lun to come back. She vaguely remembered that it was a snowy day when Lu Lun came home that year. The Lu family's sweeping servant went to clean the floor in front of the mourning hall in the morning.
Snow, I saw Lu Lun, dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling alone and motionless in front of the soul of Mrs. Lu.
No one knows when he came back, how he came in, and how long he knelt in front of Mr. Lu's soul. Later, Lu Lun died of a "severe illness", and the servants spread the rumor that something was wrong with him when he first came home.
, was contaminated with unclean things, and was later taken away by ghosts. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how he suddenly appeared in front of the mourning hall without alerting anyone. For some shady reason, the Lu family
Everyone from top to bottom agreed to this statement, and then closed the door and thanked guests.
But she will never forget the dark blue face of Lu Lun, who was lying quietly and coldly in the coffin. He would never laugh again, never be mischievous, would never find her annoying, or comfort her clumsily.
That feeling was really uncomfortable. Yilang moved and pushed the quilt away. Lin Jinrong sighed, touched his head, and covered him with the quilt.
The door rang softly, and Tao Tao came in softly: "Grandma, are you awake?" Before Lin Jinrong could answer, he had already seen Lin Jinrong leaning on the bed, and showed a happy smile:
"Fifth Master is back."
Lin Jinrong could not control her heartbeat. She suddenly felt that she was not sure, and even a little scared.
Tao Tao came over with some clothes to help Lin Jinrong get dressed, and whispered: "The person keeping watch last night was Mr. Liu. It snowed in the middle of the night, and he couldn't stand the cold, so he went back to sleep. Suoer this morning
When I went to clean the snow in the courtyard, I found someone kneeling in front of the mourning hall, motionless, with a straight back. I thought it was Master Liu, because he knew that Master Liu was always weak, so Suo'er went up to persuade him, but in the end,
I found out it was the Fifth Master! If he hadn't been afraid of disturbing the old lady, he would have come in loudly."
Lin Jinrong put on her clothes, washed her face, and combed her hair. Pan and Douer also tidied up and came to take care of Yi Lang.
Seeing the movement here, Su Xin hurriedly came over and said, "The old lady just fell asleep at three o'clock last night. She hasn't woken up yet. My servant will keep watch while the second grandmother goes to take a look. If the old lady wakes up later,
Okay, slave, let’s talk to her first, and wait until she feels calm before bringing anyone in.”
Lin Jinrong agreed and walked toward the mourning hall with Yingying and Fangzhu. Along the way, he met many servants whispering to each other, all talking about Lu Lun. Lu Gen rushed over and saw Lin Jinrong, out of breath.
He stroked his chest and said, "Second sister-in-law, has grandma gotten up?"
Lin Jinrong shook his head: "No."
Lu Gen said "Hey", turned around and ran away. Lin Jinrong grabbed his arm and said, "You are so reckless, what are you going to do? The old lady is not in good health. She only fell asleep at midnight last night. Don't do it."
It disturbed her!"
Lu Jin stamped his feet anxiously: "Second uncle wants to beat fifth brother! He is carrying a big stick! My father can't hold him back, I have to ask my grandmother to save him!"
Lu Lun, that fat black man, who can beat him? He had such a temper at the beginning, and now that he has returned home after his experience, no one can beat him. He is not an honest man, although she had not seen him so early at that time.
She looked at him, but knew that he had not suffered any physical pain. Lin Jinrong advised Lu Gen: "Don't go there so rashly, maybe the second uncle just scared your fifth brother. Your fifth brother ran out quietly,
A few blows won't do anything. Let's go over and take a look first. If he really beats her to death, I'll tell the old lady that she wants to see him. If you frighten grandma like this, your fifth brother will be blamed again.
I’m afraid you’ll get beaten too.”
Although Lu Gen didn't agree with her statement in his heart, and was reluctant to touch Lu Lun, he also knew that Old Mrs. Lu really couldn't be disturbed casually, so he said, "Second sister-in-law, you must mean what you say."
Lin Jinrong said: "Of course it counts. I am also very happy that your fifth brother is back."
Only then did Lu Gen remember that Lin Jinrong had a very good relationship with Lu Lun, so he stopped saying anything and followed Lin Jinrong quietly.
Before they even arrived outside the mourning hall, they heard Lu Jianzhong's roar, Song's cry, everyone's cries of persuasion, and something thumping on the ground. Lu Geng's expression changed, and he said something bad.
Lin Jinrong lost it and ran forward quickly.
Lin Jinrong also quickened his pace and rushed forward. From a distance, he saw a group of people gathered outside the mourning hall. In addition to the people in the second and third bedrooms, there were also members of the Lu family and servants. Some people shrugged their shoulders and laughed silently.
Some people persuaded Lu Lun earnestly. On the snow, Lu Jianzhong held a stick as thick as an arm high, with white steam coming out of his mouth. He chased Lu Lun like a top and beat him. While chasing him, he cursed: "You traitor! You beast! You!"
If you dare to come back, I will definitely beat you to death in front of your grandfather's soul today for being an unfilial person."
He was so fat that he always stopped to take a breath every time he ran. The wooden stick seemed to fall on Lu Lun every time, but it missed and hit the ground every time. As soon as he moved, Lu Lun ran forward.
As soon as he stopped, Lu Lun stopped too, and turned around to persuade him: "Dad, aren't you tired? Even if you want to beat me to vent your anger, how about you wait until I have fulfilled my filial piety in front of my grandfather's soul?"
Lu Jianzhong was so tired that he couldn't breathe. He held the stick and trembled the fat on his chin, angrily scolding Lu Shao and Lu Jing brothers who were watching the fun: "You two won't get that evil beast for me?
Is it unfilial to watch him?"
Lu Shao looked at Lu Lun and knelt down straight in the snow: "Father, fifth brother is right. Even if we want to teach him a lesson, we should wait until he has fulfilled his filial piety to his grandfather before teaching him a lesson."
Lu Jing remained silent and knelt down with Lu Shao.
Lu Jianzhong shouted angrily: "How dare you not listen to what I say? Your grandfather always thought about him before he died, just because he was afraid that he would have no food to eat or clothes to wear in the future. Has he ever visited your grandfather? I will kill this unfilial man."
You beast!" He rounded up the stick and hit it at Lu Lun. This time Lu Lun didn't let him go and hit him hard on the back.
There was a muffled sound, and Lu Lun fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Lu Jianzhong was about to continue the beating, but Lu Jianzhong hugged his waist and shouted: "It will be good if the child comes back. Do you want to beat him to death?"
Lin Jinrong stepped forward and bowed: "Second uncle, the old lady heard that fifth uncle is back and wants him to go to Rongjing Residence immediately."
Lu Jianzhong threw the stick and made a gesture of kicking someone: "You bitch, I will spare your life today."
Of course, his kick failed to hit Lu Lun, and only brought up a layer of snow mist. Lu Gen rushed over and dragged Lu Lun with all his strength: "Fifth brother, grandma wants to see you, hurry up."
Lu Lun simply wiped away his tears, bowed three times to Mr. Lu's tomb, stood up, took Lu Gen's hand with one hand, glanced at Lin Jinrong, pushed aside the crowd of spectators, and turned around to walk out.
Lin Jinrong followed: "Did you hit anywhere just now?"
"You're just tickling me. I'm afraid he's even more tired than me, and it will take a few days for him to recover from the pain." Lu Lun smiled at Lin Jinrong, his face becoming even darker with his neat white teeth and mourning clothes.
A circle of steel needle-like stubble is like the thorns of a hedgehog.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but smile: "Look how dark you have become! If you change into black clothes, no one will be able to tell you are a thief at night." As he spoke, he carefully looked at Lu Lun's expression.
.
Lu Lun's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "There's nothing you can do about it. It's already dark, and it's getting even darker with the wind and rain every day."
Lu Geng held his hand distressedly: "Fifth brother, where have you been these years? What do you do? Farm? Look at your hands! Do you rub them on the trees every day?"
Lin Jinrong squinted and saw that Lu Lun's hands were covered with calluses. Looking again, he saw a pink scar on his wrist. Before he could see clearly, Lu Lun quickly took his hand back, dropped his sleeves, and threw it down with a straight face.
Kai Lu Zhen gently slapped him on the back of the head: "How old are you, and you are still so tired and careless? How come you haven't made any progress!"
Lu Geng's face turned red with anger: "Obviously you were the one holding me! Five Barbarians, why are you still so unreasonable? It's all in vain. I'm afraid you'll be beaten, so I'm running back and forth."
Lu Lun didn't even look ashamed at all. He reached out and grabbed Lu Xi's back collar. With a slight lift, Lu Xi's feet left the ground. Several girls and women around him started to giggle. Lu Xi couldn't help but
Filled with anger and hatred, he kicked his legs hard and cursed in a high-pitched voice: "Black fat man, let me go, you deserve to be beaten! You will bully me!"
"Fortunately, I've made some progress, and I cried without moving." Lu Lun let go of his hand, and before Lu Gen could stand firm, he slapped him hard on the back: "I told you to pretend to be young.
Old man, you are so hunched over, you are sick! You are so ugly!"
Lu Geng stood up straight, straightened his back, and cursed: "I'm not as knowledgeable as you, a barbarian who can't even recognize the word."
Lu Lun smiled playfully: "Hey, do you know all the words? Write a sour poem for me to listen to?"
Lu Geng glared at him and pretended to straighten his sleeves: "I'm afraid of you! I will end next year."
Lu Lun suddenly fell silent, rubbed his head, and said hoarsely: "Study hard and don't let down your grandfather's expectations."
Lu Geng also fell silent, and the two brothers quietly followed Lin Jinrong and walked forward with their heads buried.
After walking about a few dozen steps, Lu Lun asked Lin Jinrong in a low voice: "Grandpa didn't suffer much, did he?"
"It's okay." Lin Jinrong was looking for something to comfort Lu Lun, but Lu Lun raised his eyebrows, slapped Lu Gen's waist inadvertently, and cursed: "I told you to hunch back again! Be careful.
Yeah, I beat him every time I saw him!"
