Chapter 48 Chain Reaction

"Why did you come?"

Seeing Huo Qingsong in the yard, Song Yuan was surprised at first, and then his expression was a little strange. There seems to be some excitement, some anger, or something else. These expressions are not so obvious. Maybe it's because Song Yuan is trying his best to endure something in Lu's family.

Huo Qingsong saw Song Yuan, but he took a gentle breath and said lightly, "Qingsong specially came to invite his uncle back to Beijing."

"You knew I wouldn't go back, but you still came?" Song Yuan walked to Huo Qingsong and continued in a calm voice, "Go back."

"Auncle..." Huo Qingsong just wanted to say something, but he saw that several people of the Lu family in the yard were looking at him and Song Yuan, so he changed his tone and said, "Auncle, why don't we go back and talk about it? Let's not disturb him."

Song Yuan looked at the people in the yard and nodded meditatingly. Then, he turned around and said to Lv Erniang, "Er Niang, there are guests at home. If I go back to entertain the guests, I won't disturb you to celebrate Brother Hong."

"Since Mr. Song has guests, I won't keep them." Lv Erniang saw that Song Yuan seemed to be very upset and was a little worried. But she had no reason to leave Song Yuan, so she followed Song Yuan's wishes and sent him and Huo Qingsong's master and servant to leave the Lu family.

When Huo Qingsong passed in front of Lv Hong, Lv Hong, who had been frowned since he saw Huo Qingsong, suddenly said, "Have we met?"

Huo Qingsong saw Song Yuan walking in front of him, and he kept walking in front of Lv Hong, but indifferently left a sentence: "I haven't seen you for five years. I don't know how you are practicing your shooting skills. I hope there is still a chance to learn from each other."

"It's you?" Lv Hong was surprised and happy. He didn't expect to meet the young general who had a deep influence on him. However, when Lv Hong wanted to say something again, he found that the young general had followed Song Yuan far away.

Lv Erniang looked at Lv Hong strangely and asked, "How did you know each other?"

"A Niang, I met Zhao Xiu at the foot of the mountain when he got lost. Didn't I say that I knew a young general and competed with him several times, and then he crossed the river. The young general is the one just now, that..." Lv Hong touched his head. He didn't seem to know the name of the young general yet.

Lv Xianger knew what Lu Hong was thinking and immediately said, "His name is Huo Qingsong."

"Yes, that's General Huo." Seeing that Lv Er Niang seemed to be thinking about something again, Lv Hong quickly covered his stomach and said, "Niang, what delicious food have you made? My stomach has been hungry for a long time."

"I know. The food has been ready for a long time. I'll wait for you and... Let's go into the house for dinner." Lv Erniang paused and didn't say Song Yuan, so she took Lv Hong and Lv Xianger into the house for dinner.

Lv Erniang sat at the table eating with three small ones, but there was no cheerful atmosphere before. Except for Lu Xianger, the other three seem to be thinking about their thoughts. What are Lv Erniang and Lv Hong thinking? Lv Xianger can probably guess a few points. But Chaoxia was also distracted, which made Lv Xianger very strange.

Through these days of getting along with each other, Lv Xianger observed secretly and has determined the character of Chaoxia. Chaoxia looks cold, unwilling to speak, and her expression is always cold. But she is not a person who is deeply in the city and has sinister thoughts. There is no motive in dealing with the Lv family. On the contrary, in Lv Xianger's opinion, he is very sincere.

Although Chaoxia sometimes makes Lv Xianger find some small problems, such as being in a trance like just now, Lv Xianger is strange, but she doesn't care much. Everyone will have their own little secrets, and so will Lv Xianger, so she doesn't plan to chase Chaoxia. She has to know the secrets in her heart.

Of course, Lv Xianger is most interested in the secrets of Song Yuan. Just after Huo Qingsong came to the Lv family, Lu Xianger thought about the scene after Song Yuan saw Huo Qingsong. But Lv Xianger didn't expect that after the two met, it would be different from anything she imagined.

In any person's point of view, the encounter between 'uncle' and 'nuncle' will not be as strange and strange as Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong. It seemed that Huo Qingsong had found here. Although Song Yuan didn't expect it, he was very unhappy. Lv Xianger could also see that Song Yuan was so resistant when Huo Qingsong asked Song Yuan to 'go home'.

People who have known each other for so long have so many secrets. Of course, the fire of gossip rose in Lv Xianger's heart. She really wants to know what happened to Song Yuan and his family before. Song Yuan has been away from home for so many years and doesn't want to go back.

In fact, not only Lv Xianger thinks so, but Lv Hong also has the same thoughts as Lv Xianger. He didn't expect that the young general who had pointed out his shooting skills would be involved with Song Yuan. Moreover, Lv Hong is farther away than Lv Xianger thought. During the Jianglingfu examination, Lv Hong seriously thought about Lv Xianger's idea and carefully observed Song Yuan's character. In the end, Lv Hong thought that as Lv Xianger said, Song Yuan was really suitable for his mother.

On the way back, Lv Hong also slowly tried to accept Song Yuan, who might marry his mother. When he arrived in Qingshi County, Lv Hong really adapted to it. And he still made up his mind to help Lv Xianger fulfill Song Yuan's affection for Lv Er Niang.

Unexpectedly, the sudden appearance of Huo Qingsong made Lv Hong's heart difficult. Although Lv Hong doesn't know Song Yuan's family background, he should not be an ordinary person from Huo Qingsong's point of view. Huo Qingsong is a general when he is so young. Obviously, his background is not ordinary. Song Yuan is also Huo Qingsong's uncle. According to the standard of household, Song Yuan's background should not be much different from Huo Qingsong's.

In those years, Lv Hong lived in a large family before he left the 'home' with Lv Erniang. At that time, Lv Hong was very small, but he deeply remembered what kind of sickiness and unbearable was in the enviable 'home'. In the eyes of ordinary people, how many grievances and tears are hidden.

Looking back on Lv Erniang, a wife that the Ming media was marrying, but finally left, Lv Hong no longer wanted his mother to live such a life. Therefore, Song Yuan's sudden nephew made Lv Hong hesitate again whether he could really make Lv Erniang live a happy life.

As for Lv Erniang, who is the person in charge, it is also because of the encounter between Huo Qingsong and Song Yuan, which creates a lot of emotions. She couldn't see what Song Yuan was thinking about her. But Lv Erniang always remembers the evaluation of her brother Lu Tai and Song Yuan, who is deeply hidden and has an extraordinary family background. People like this are not affordable for merchants like the Lu family.

In those years, Lv Tai saved Song Yuan's life, so he didn't take it to heart. Song Yuan asked to stay as Mr. Xixi, who was Lv Xianger, and Lv Tai was also very polite to him. The two have been friends for several years. Although the friendship is getting deeper and deeper, Lv Tai always remembers Song Yuan's background and dares not take him as his brother.

After Lv Erniang came to Jiangbei, she also remembered Song Yuan's help to the Lv family. Song Yuan never mentioned his family, and never saw him go home to get a kiss. Lv Erniang slowly forgot Lv Tai's words. With the passage of time, she was also slowly moved by Song Yuan's persistence, her closed heart was also a little loose, and Lv Erniang also had some illusions about the future.

When Huo Qingsong came to her door, Lv Erniang understood that her fantasy was a fantasy and would not become a reality. Lv Erniang admired Lv Tai's foresight in her heart, and her mentality towards Song Yuan also returned to the beginning of plainness. Lv Erniang has some small regrets, but this regret can't be compared with her two children.

Thinking of this, Lv Erniang took a chopstick dish for Lv Hong and asked, "Brother Hong, you haven't told your mother how did you do in the exam?"

"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot to tell my mother. Lv Hong thought of what he found in Luming College and couldn't help smiling: "I told Mr. Song about all the exam questions I answered. He said that I had a most chance to enter Luming College."

After saying the last sentence, Lv Hong remembered that he had mentioned Mr. Song and looked at Lv Erniang unnaturally. Lv Erniang's expression did not change because of Song Yuan, but was very happy that Lv Hong did so well in the exam and praised Lv Hong very much.

Lv Erniang's indittention to Song Yuan made Lv Hong breathe a sigh of relief. He thinks this is the best. Lv Erniang has not yet fallen in love with Song Yuansheng, so as not to be sad to learn about Song Yuan's real life in the future. Lv Hong didn't want his mother to be hurt by 'affec' again.

After talking about Lv Hong's life in Jiangling Mansion for a few days, Lv Er Niang mentioned that Lv Xianger's distilled wine was successful, and the finished wine had been produced. Lv Hong immediately asked Zaoer to put a bowl for him, trying to taste the 'shochu' that Lv Xianger said.

Seeing the clear-water-like soju, Lv Hong picked up the bowl very excitedly and completely didn't notice Lv Er Niang's desire to stop. Lv Xianger's bad smile and Chaoxia's eyes that wanted to see the joke. As a result, as the three imagined, Lv Hong could not enjoy such a soju and took a sip. After swallowing half a mouthful, Lv Hong immediately felt the hot air and rushed straight to the top of his head. After that, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.

"This wine is really, really spicy." Lv Hong looked at the rest of the wine in the bowl, hesitated, and put it on the table.

Seeing this, Lv Erniang quickly asked Xiaotao to bring the prepared soup to Lv Hong and let him suppress the wine. At the same time, Lv Erniang glanced at Lv Xianger, who smiled secretly, and then said to Lv Hong, "If you feel dizzy, go back to your room and lie down, and have a good rest by the way."

"Mother, I'm fine. I just took a sip. It's okay." Lv Hong's face turned a little red, and he didn't know whether he was drinking or a little shy. He lost face in front of the three women and refused to go back to his room.

Finally, Lv Xianger persuaded him a few words. Lv Hong got up and went back to his room, making Lv Erniang, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia sitting at the table smile again. It was also this smile that filled the sky of the Lv family's yard with a happy atmosphere again, sweeping away the previous dullness.
