Chapter 149 Strange Father and Son
Lv Xianger and Chaoxia accompanied Lv Erniang on both sides and sat silently in the carriage. Lv Erniang didn't say a word, and Lv Xianger and Chaoxia didn't know what to say. If Lv Xianger could do anything before, she didn't know what to do, but she could meet Zheng Baiyang face to face. Lv Xianger was a little worried.
From time to time, she looked up at Lv Erniang. Lv Xianger was a little anxious. Her usual mind was useless at this time, and she found a sentence to break the quiet atmosphere in the carriage. Chaoxia also saw Lv Xianger's urgent color, and she didn't know what to say.
"Xiang'er, Chaoxia, why do you both bow your heads and don't talk?" Lv Erniang has been thinking about things and hasn't said anything since she left the Court of Ceremonies. But when she finished thinking about it, she found that Lv Xianger and Chaoxia were silent, and she was a little curious. However, when Lv Erniang finished asking, she thought that the two might be because they met Zheng Baiyang, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, Lv Erniang couldn't help smiling: "You two. What Chaoxia just said was very right. Those are unrevant people. How can I think about them? I didn't say anything. I was thinking about what to eat at night.
"Ah, right. Does grandma think of something to eat? Lv Xianger heard that Lv Erniang's tone did not seem to be a lie. She was relieved, but she was still a little worried and said again, "Mr. Song heard that you are going to make a delicious meal in the evening. Maybe he will come too."
"Yes, he will definitely not miss it." Lv Erniang thought that Song Yuan always relied on the Lu family with this excuse. Her tone was very disdainful, but there was a smile in her eyes and mouth. Lv Xianger was really relieved when she saw Lv Erniang's expression.
Chaoxia looked at Lv Xianger's relaxed expression and smiled slightly. But in her heart, she kept Zheng Baiyang and his wife in her heart. Even if it is a servant of the Ministry of War, the Zheng family's mansion should be easy to find. Thinking of finding an opportunity to explore the Zheng family, Chaoxia unconsciously raised a corner of the curtain.
Lv Xianger felt a cool air and couldn't help saying, "Mother, it's better to eat a warm pot at night, drink soup, eat meat, and get rid of the cold."
"Warm the pot, that's a good idea." Lv Erniang nodded and said directly to Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, go to the vegetable market. Let's go back after buying the vegetables. Buy some mutton first, and some more..."
Listening to Lv Erniang's talk about what to buy, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia looked at each other and smiled, but their hearts were not as relaxed as their faces. Lv Erniang didn't care about Zheng Baiyang, but Zheng Baiyang seemed to care about Lv Hong. Looking at his appearance, he obviously wants to see Lv Hong. This had to make Lv Xianger and Chaoxia doubt whether Zheng Baiyang wanted to recognize Lv Hong.
Although Lv Erniang has Lv Xianger and Chaoxia, Lv Hong is her own son, a son who has her hope and confidence. If Lv Hong has a little hesitation in dealing with Lv Erniang and Zheng Baiyang, Lv Erniang doesn't know what will happen.
At that time, Lv Erniang appeared at the gate of the Ministry of Ceremonies. Zheng Baiyang knew that Lv Hong must have come to take the exam without thinking too much. It can be imagined that when the exam is over, Zheng Baiyang will definitely go to the gate of Gongyuan to wait. I don't know what will happen after Lv Hong and Zheng Baiyang face to face.
After returning to Lv's house, Lv Xianger and others simply had lunch and packed up the dishes they bought. And after packing up everything and waiting for Lv Hong to come back for dinner, Lv Erniang began to be distracted from time to time. Of course, this was discovered by Lv Xianger's secret attention.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lv Hong hadn't come back yet. Just as Lv Xianger wanted to send Xiao Wu to the Tributary Court of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Song Yuan and Huo Qingsong entered the door of the Lv family. Knowing Lv Xianger's plan and Lv Erniang, who stood at the door and pretended not to care, Song Yuan took a look at Huo Qingsong and coughed and said, "I just met Hong Geer. He said that he had something to deal with, and he would come back to eat with us in half an hour."
What Song Yuan said was very vague. Lv Erniang, Lv Xiang'er and Chaoxia understood that Lv Hong did not come back after the exam. He must have met Zheng Baiyang. Lv Xianger and Chaoxia didn't say anything, and Lv Erniang didn't want to talk. Although there was no change in her expression, she lowered her head slightly and went back to her room silently.
Lv Xianger knew at this time that Lv Erniang had never said that she didn't understand anything before, but put it all in her heart. Now that Lv Hong really hasn't come back, the trembling in Lv Er Niang's heart really appeared. Judging from Lv Erniang's current performance, she is very worried about who Lv Hong will choose in the end.
In those years, Lv Erniang left the Zheng family with Lv Hong, but who knows whether Zheng Baiyang will regret it. Moreover, Lv Erniang can't ignore it, and no one can ignore it. After all, Lv Hong is Zheng Baiyang's biological son and the bloodline of the Zheng family.
"My surname is Lv, Lord Zheng..." Lv Hong looked at Zheng Baiyang opposite, looking calm, and there was no excitement at all that had just come out of the tribute courtyard. Zheng Baiyang looked at the son who was three points similar to him on the opposite side, and didn't say that it was fake at all. But looking at the sneer on Lv Hong's face, Zheng Baiyang couldn't say a word.
Looking back at the gate of Gongyuan, Zheng Baiyang accompanied his wife Yang to wait for Zheng Tong, the couple's son, but found that Lv Hong was the first to come out. At the first sight of Lv Hong, Zheng Baiyang didn't ask much and knew that he was his son.
At that time, Zheng Baiyang didn't know why he suddenly threw down Yang and walked to Lv Hong. Just when he didn't know how to open his mouth to Lv Hong, Lv Hong first invited him to sit in a nearby teahouse. Zheng Baiyang didn't know how happy he was when he heard Lv Hong's mouth. Therefore, he once again ignored Yang's retention and left Gongyuan with Lv Hong.
Zheng Baiyang didn't see it. After he left with Lv Hong, Yang stood behind and looked at Lv Hong with resentment. After Yang turned his head, Lv Hong looked back at her gently, and a contemptuous smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
When Lv Hong turned his head and turned the corner with Zheng Baiyang, one of the students who ran out of Gongyuan saw Yang and ran to him. When Yang saw his son Zheng Tong, he had a bright smile on his face. But after Zheng Tong said something, Yang pretended to be embarrassed and said a few words. Zheng Tong's expression immediately changed, and he pulled Yang away angrily.
At the same time, Lv Hong has been sitting in the teahouse with Zheng Baiyang. In the ethereal fog, neither father and son, who had not seen each other for many years, spoke first. Lv Hong lowered his head slightly, thinking about the days before he left home when he was a child. However, Zheng Baiyang kept looking at Lv Hong with a gratified face.
After a long time, Zheng Baiyang remembered something and asked softly, "Hong Geer, you have spent all these years..."
"My surname is Lv, Lord Zheng. We don't know each other very well. Please call me Lv Hong." Listening to Zheng Baiyang's gentle tone, Lv Hong immediately raised his head and looked directly at him and said very seriously, "Lord Zheng, today I invited Lili to the teahouse for tea, just to make it clear to you."
Zheng Baiyang didn't expect Lv Hong to have such an attitude. For a moment, he couldn't accept it and couldn't help saying, "Brother Hong, I'm your father. How can you be so rude to your elders?"
"Lord Zheng, I'll say it again. Please call my name directly." Lv Hong's expression did not change at all. He said quietly, "Also, Lord Zheng, from the day my mother took me out of the Zheng family, I didn't have a father."
Speaking of this, Zheng Baiyang's face was red and white, and he couldn't say anything. Lv Hong didn't care about Zheng Baiyang's face and continued, "Today, what Lord Zheng and I want to say is. Lord Zheng, please don't harass my mother and me in the future. Our Lv family and the Zheng family have nothing to do with each other since my mother got the book. Even if you want to say that I have your blood on my body, I try not to care.
"Brother Hong, how can you talk to your father like this? At that time, your mother insisted on leaving. At that time, I was willing to call her my sister, but she disagreed. Before Zheng Baiyang could speak, Yang's voice sounded outside the door. Then, Yang came in with the arrogant Zheng Tong.
Zheng Tong was very disdainful when he saw Lv Hong's expression, and his tone was even more arrogant: "Look at your unbredged appearance. Even if you want to go back to the Zheng family, your grandmother won't recognize you."
For Yang and Zheng Tong entering the house, including all the words he said, Lv Hong not only did not move, but also his expression did not change. Just like, in Lv Hong's perception, there is no Yang and Zheng Tong. And Zheng Baiyang's opposite Lv Hong's smiling look was a little embarrassed. He couldn't help whispering, "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, Tong'er came out of the tribute courtyard and asked about you. I heard that you and Brother Hong have left, and I really want to see my brother. Yang smiled at Zheng Baiyang and sat directly next to him.
At the same time, Zheng Tong, who received Yang's hint, nodded quickly and said, "Dad, you're right. I'm just here to think about my brother. However, when I heard my brother, oh no, it should be what Lv Hong just said. I won't recognize a person who doesn't respect his elders as a brother.
Zheng Tong's words made Yang very proud, and then raised his head and looked at Lv Hong. Lv Hong still didn't seem to hear it. With an alien smile on his face, he gently took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, "Lord Zheng, I've finished what I want to say. I hope you don't come to me in the future. I only have a mother and no father. Even if we meet by chance in the future, we are just strangers.
As soon as the words fell, Lv Hong stood up and walked to the door without looking at Yang and Zheng Tong. Yang and Zheng Tong were obviously dissatisfied with being ignored by Lv Hong. There was some anger on their faces. Zheng Tong wanted to stop Lv Hong even more. Unexpectedly, Lv Hong suddenly turned around and smiled gently: "Lord Zheng, I invited you to have tea today. I should pay for this tea. I, Lu Hong, am a student, but I dare not take advantage of Lord Zheng.
Lu Hong quickly went out of the door without Zheng Baiyang's reaction. Walking out of the teahouse, Lv Hong looked at the dark sky and sighed gently, "I don't know if my mother will be angry with me without leaving me food..."
