    Wei Yan's eyelashes trembled, and he leaned into his arms for a long time before slowly retreating, and asked in a hoarse voice, "The medicine you took...is it harmful to your body?"

Lu Ze shook his head and said, "Don't worry. , I have a sense of proportion, this will not have any effect on the body."

He looked at Wei Yan, coaxed softly: "Don't be angry anymore?"

Wei Yan paused for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's my fault..."

He said: "I shouldn't hide it from you and make you worry."

Lu Ze didn't say whether it was true or not, but said: "It won't be like this in the future, okay?" He said: "I want to know something about you Everything is just like me, if you have any questions you want to know, you can open your mouth as much as you want."

Wei Yan moved his lips slightly when he heard this, looked down at him, and said hesitantly: "Why are you back now? Your mother Over there..."

He pursed his lips: "Does she know you're coming back today?"

Lu Ze shook his head: "When the steward delivered the letter to me, the flood in Huainan was almost dealt with, and only the follow-up is left. .I told the officer on leave and came back early. I knew you had returned to the Hou's Mansion in front of the mansion, so I hurried over."

Wei Yan lowered his head and clacked his fingers. I am satisfied from the bottom of my heart, but I am inevitably worried about Mother Lu's attitude.

Lu Ze seemed to know what he was thinking, got up and sat aside, held Wei Yan's hand, and said softly: "My father left early, and my mother worked hard to support the house and raise me, so her temper is inevitably a bit domineering. , maybe a little unreasonable."

Wei Yan thought it was true in his heart, but he pretended to refute on the face: "It's...not bad."

Lu Ze couldn't help laughing, Wei Yan raised his eyes and gave him a look.

Lu Ze held his side face, and said softly, "Have you been wronged these two days?"

Wei Yan pouted, looked aside, and muttered, "After all, it's your mother..."

Lu Ze nodded, Ying He said: "When I was young, my family was poor, and my mother found a lot of jobs to make enough for me. It was indeed hard work. Now that I have been admitted to Jinshi and become an official in the court, I have to be filial to her. Let her live a good life."

Wei Yan understood this, and reluctantly nodded: "...it should be."

Lu Ze looked at him and said, "So it has nothing to do with you."

Hmm...?

Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at him with astonishment.

Lu Ze smiled and rubbed his head: "Fool."

Wei Yan patted him: "Why am I so stupid?"

Lu Ze said slowly: "That's my mother, raised me, do you want to be filial? , How to be filial is all my business. She has never been nice to you, why do you ask you to be nice to her?"

He looked at him, and said softly: "So I will go to my mother and say, you don't need to worry about anything, Just do what you want, and you don't have to be angry with her, the most important thing is that you are happy about everything." He said with a smile: "After all, in the eyes of outsiders, I am the one who eats the Lord Hou's soft rice, and I deserve it. Our family confessed to you."

Wei Yan was a little uncomfortable when he heard this kind of talk for the first time: "You...are you serious?"

Lu Ze laughed dumbfoundedly: "Why should I lie to you?"

Wei Yan hesitated: "Then I don't have to get up early in the morning to greet her...and I don't have to stand and serve her while she eats?"

Lu Ze said with a slightly sour heart, "Of course."

Wei Yan moved his fingers slightly: "But... if it spreads outside, will it hurt your reputation..."

Lu Ze firmly said: "No." He said: "You don't need to worry about anything, these I'll take care of things, you just have to do what you want with peace of mind."

He said, "Before you got married, you were a high-spirited young general; after you got married, I certainly can't let you be wronged."

Wei Yan looked at him, finally pursed his lips and smiled softly, he hooked his fingers lightly: "I believe you."

Lu Ze leaned over and kissed his forehead again, saying He said: "I'll go back to see my mother later. If you don't want to go back, you can stay in the Hou's mansion. You don't have to worry too much."

Wei Yan tightened his hand, then loosened it, and said, "I'll follow You go back together."

Lu Ze looked down at him, and said with a light smile, "No need."

He said flatly, "You're here, I'm afraid I won't be able to perform well."

...

It's the end of spring, and the days are getting worse. It got hot, but suddenly cooled down at night, and it was still as cold as water at night.

The housekeeper didn't expect Lu Ze to come back after going out, hurriedly followed behind him: "My lord."

Lu Ze nodded, strode towards Yitai Garden, and asked, "What is the old lady doing? "

The housekeeper glanced at the sky: "At this hour, I think I'm eating."

Lu Ze asked again: "Did the old lady go out in the past two days? Did you have any orders?"

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "I didn't go out. , just ordered..."

He took a careful look at Lu Ze's face: "The old lady summoned the servants in charge of the house, and ordered them to prepare a lot of good clothes and jewelry for the cousin. She also said, said..." Lu Ze

looked Looking at him: "What else did you say?"

The steward's voice became lower: "I also said that the servants should prepare the things for the wedding ceremony, and when the lord comes back, he will let the cousin girl in." While speaking, he had already reached

Yitaiyuan At the door, Lu Ze paused, and said coldly, "It's just nonsense."

The housekeeper lowered his head and dared not speak.

Lu Ze waved his hand to let him go down, while he strode into the courtyard.

In the main hall, a table full of dishes can be seen from a distance. There are two people sitting in the banquet, talking and laughing in harmony, and it is dazzling.

Lu Ze didn't let his servant pass the message, and stepped in. Although Mother Lu said that she had only arrived in the capital for a few days, she already had the air of an official. When she heard the movement, she thought it was some ignorant servant, and raised her head to reprimand her, but the moment she saw Lu Ze, she burst into a smile and said, "Ze'er!" She quickly stood up and greeted her, "What are

you Why didn't you tell Wei Niang when you came back?"

Xu Yun, who was beside Lu's mother, also raised her head when she saw Lu Ze clearly, and she blushed and called her cousin .

Lu Ze's eyes swept over her, and then landed on Lu's mother. There was no joy on his face, but he was cold: "Is mother eating?"

Lu's mother paused, a little hesitant: "Yes, yes What's the matter, Zeer?"

Lu Ze said coldly, "Mother can eat with peace of mind, but I don't know that my son will lose his official position."

"What, what?" Lu's mother unconsciously took two steps back, and held his arms in shock: "What is my son talking about? How can you lose your official position if you are so good? Don't scare me!"

Xu Yun also showed worry, and timidly stepped forward and called out: "Cousin..."

Lu Ze's eyes fell on her, and he took a deep breath. Seeing that he was very angry, he asked Lu's mother, "Mom, how about this?" Going to Beijing, why did you bring your cousin with you?"

Xu Yun couldn't help trembling when he heard this, his eyes filled with a little steam, he was so pitiful, but he bit his lower lip and didn't speak.

Mother Lu said: "What are you talking about? Yun'er is your cousin, could it be that you don't even recognize her?"

Lu Ze said: "If it's just a cousin, it's fine, but does mother really only want her to be a cousin? What do you mean by the concubine talk with Lord Hou?"

Mother Lu gasped, pointed at him and said, "Okay, okay, I said, it was because of that little bitch!" "

Mother Be careful!" Lu Ze said angrily in a deep voice, "Wei Beihou is an official of the imperial court, and my mother insulted me, can I die?"

Lu's mother was obviously taken aback, and she bravely shouted: "This is in my own home. , I can't say a few words?"

Lu Ze sneered, "My house? This house is the house of the Marquis, and this servant was bestowed by the emperor. How did he come to my house?" Mother Lu was shocked:

" Isn't this your house? Isn't this the house given to you by the emperor?"

Lu Ze sneered and said, "The so-called gift to me is just a rhetoric from the emperor to give me a little face-to-face! Mother wants to see Look, whose name is written on the title deed of this house?"

Lu's mother was dizzy for a while, and she couldn't recover: "Well, then, since Wei Yan married you, he is from the Lu family. What is the difference between his things and yours?" Lu Ze smiled sadly: "The so-

called The marriage is just to save face for the son to the outside world. Go outside and ask, who doesn't know that his son Gao climbed up to Wei Beihou? How many people are waiting outside to see his son's jokes?" Mother Lu was stunned for a moment, and had not

yet Come back to God.

Lu Ze took a deep breath and slowed down his tone: "Mother, this is the capital city, which is different from Ningzhen, our hometown." "My

son was lucky enough to be favored by Wei Beihou, and everything he has is attached to him. Mother's recent days Food and clothing costs, not to mention the clothes and jewelry made for my cousin, today's table alone costs two silver. Now that my son has been promoted by Lord Hou, he has become a sixth-rank official by luck, and his one-year salary is also It's only sixty taels of silver, and it's hard to even find a place to stay in the capital!"

He sighed, and looked at Lu's mother sadly: "Master Hou is my son's superior, and my son's life, death, honor and disgrace are all in his mind. If it weren't for Master Hou's good temper, I'm afraid my son would have packed up his things and returned to his hometown based on what his mother said! My son has studied hard for more than ten years. Is this kind of result what mother wants to see?" Mother Lu couldn't understand: "

But ...You are his husband, how can he?"

"Mother." Lu Ze said: "He has the position of Marquis, and he is favored by the emperor, not to mention retiring and remarrying, even raising a few male servants. People dare to criticize. The son is lucky to have a certain face, so that he can be favored by the Hou Ye. If he offends the Hou Ye, I am afraid that he will not know when he made a mistake. When the time comes, the mother is willing to return to that small village In the town?"

Although Mother Lu just came to the capital not long ago, she is already used to this kind of extravagant life, and the food and clothing are the best, and a servant girl will come forward respectfully when she calls out, so she is not willing to go back. But if she wants to just bow her head like this, she is also reluctant in her heart.

She couldn't help but said: "According to what you said, we have to confess him, and we can't say or scold him? How can it be like this? You, you can't make peace with him? He is the Marquis of Lao Shizi, and we can find him again." Isn't it easy for one?"

Lu Ze looked at her and said flatly: "Mother has worked so hard to raise her son, so son should respect mother's wishes. But if mother really wants us to reconcile, then this house will never live again. No, with my son's monthly salary, I can only find a small courtyard on the edge of the city that is less than half the size of my old house, and there are no maids and servants to serve. Oh yes, and my son always spends money on drinking and banqueting with his colleagues. Inevitably, mother may be able to bear the daily life of shrinking clothes and dieting?"

Mother Lu hesitated for a moment.

Lu Ze just bowed his head and said: "My son is incompetent, so mother can blame it if she wants to."

Lu's mother glanced at him with a perplexed expression. This is her only son, how could she be willing to beat and scold him?

She hesitated for a while: "Then, if it's not the case, then, let's go on like this." "Did

n't you also say that Lord Hou treats you well?"

Lu Ze sighed heavily when he heard the words.

Mother Lu panicked: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Lu Ze glanced at Xu Yun who was standing at a loss, and said nothing.

Mother Lu suddenly understood: "I don't have any other thoughts now as a mother, but I am inevitably lonely here by myself, can't I let your cousin accompany me?" Xu Yun also cried quickly: "

Cousin, Yun'er I don't want to serve my cousin, but I just want to be by my aunt's side, cousin..."

Lu Ze said, "If it was in the past, it would be fine. It's just that my mother has said that kind of thing, I'm afraid the Marquis has a grudge..."

Mother Lu couldn't help but said: "Then what should I do? Yun'er is a girl, and she can't go back alone?"

Xu Yun's face turned pale when he heard this, and he knelt down under Mother Lu, mourning: " Aunt..."

Lu's mother's face was also troubled, and Lu Ze said, "What are you talking about, mother? My uncle helped our family when I was young, so how can I let my cousin go back alone now? My son thinks that my cousin has reached her age , if uncle doesn't mind, why not find a good marriage for her here? It can be regarded as repaying the care of uncle and aunt for so many years." Mother Lu hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and asked, "

Yun'er, what do you think?"

Xu Yun Looking at Lu Ze sadly: "For so many years, don't you really know how Yun'er cares for my cousin?"

Lu Ze's expression remained unchanged: "I only see you as my sister, how can I treat you differently?" Thoughts?"

He paused, and said, "If you don't want to, I'll ask Lord Hou to send some soldiers to send you back to Xiangning. I'll give you some taels of silver for makeup."

Xu Yun's face turned pale , her body limp on the ground, silent for a long time, finally said: "Yun'er... willing."

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze, with tears in her eyes: "I only hope that I can stay in the capital, and I can stay with my aunt as long as possible." Filial piety... just take a look at my cousin from a distance."

"Stupid boy..." Mother Lu couldn't help but looked at Lu Ze softly and said, "Since that's the case, you should pay more attention to see if there are suitable men of the right age around you. Or... let your Lord Marquis pay more attention to it..."

Mother Lu's words were a little difficult, she thought she had made enough concessions, but unexpectedly, Lu Ze was embarrassed when she heard the words: "My son should do his best, but the son is in love with you." I'm not familiar with this place, so I have to rely on the Marquis for this matter, but..." He shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Lu's mother's eyelids twitched: "Why? Is he still unwilling to do such a trivial matter? "

Lu Ze looked at her: "Master Hou has returned to the Hou Mansion now, and the mansion is heavily guarded, even I can't easily enter."

Lu's mother was anxious: "I just said a few words...how is he so big? Temperament?"

Lu Ze sighed: "If you don't let Master Hou calm down, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu's mother had already thought of countless bad results, and she hesitated: "Then go and coax him more, Say something nice..."

"I'm afraid it won't be enough." Lu Ze looked at her, "You have to tie the bell to untie it. I'm afraid my mother will need to apologize to him for this matter." "What?

" Mother Lu exploded immediately, and she pointed at herself: "I am a mother-in-law and an elder, let me apologize to him?"

Lu Ze said: "The son knows that he has wronged his mother, but he still asks his mother to read his cousin's future." Come on, think more about it."

Lu's mother remained silent, and Lu Ze sat beside her.

Lu's mother's face changed several times, and she finally took a deep breath, and said with difficulty: "You, you bring him here tomorrow..."

A smile flashed in Lu Ze's eyes: "Yes."

"Mother, rest well."

...

Wei Beihou government.

After Wei Yan washed up, he took the initiative to drink the medicine from the maid for the first time, and lay on the bed holding a book, but he couldn't read it.

Thinking of what happened today, the gloom of the previous two days has all dissipated, replaced by a kind of sweetness, soaking into the bottom of my heart.

He put the book on his face, couldn't help flipping it on the bed, his eyes filled with a smile.

After rolling for a long time, he couldn't help but put his hands on his lower abdomen again, and his thoughts drifted away.

In the past, he was always obsessed with wanting a child because he was lonely since he was a child, and he had no family and wandered around since he could remember. That's why I want to urgently have a child and a home.

But now...

With Lu Ze by his side, Wei Yan's obsession with family seems to have faded a lot, but he still wants a child.

A child of his and Lu Ze's blood.

He has never wanted to recuperate his body and welcome the arrival of their child more than at this moment.

Wei Yan Shensi walked away slowly, until a familiar voice came from the door: "Is there food in the kitchen?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously jumped out of bed. The door happened to be opened, and Lu Ze's figure was outside.

Wei Yan immediately jumped on him, with a smile that couldn't be concealed between his eyebrows and eyes: "Why are you back?"

Lu Ze caught him with both hands and rubbed his head: "After the matter is settled, I will come back to accompany you." You."

He looked down, and frowned: "Don't wear shoes?"

Wei Yan laughed, and was hugged by him on the bed, his feet moved unconsciously: "It's already summer, and it's not cold As he said, there was a lot of curiosity in his heart, but he didn't ask, but remembered what he said just now, and said: "Are you hungry? Did you not eat when you went back? I asked the kitchen to prepare something? Do you want to eat?" What? Noodles get better faster, how

about eating some noodles?" He was about to get out of bed again, but Lu Ze pulled him back, hugged him and said, "Chunxin has already made arrangements, you take care of yourself." Stay here."

Wei Yan straddled his lap, his eyes sparkling: "Then what do you want to eat first, there are some snacks on the table..." "No need."

Lu Ze interrupted him, leaning towards him Kissed his lips: "Isn't this ready-made?"

Wei Yan clutched the skirt of his clothes with his fingers, and responded slowly, gradually intoxicated by it.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, so they are very affectionate, and they can't wait to hug each other. It wasn't until the maid brought the noodles that the two separated.

Seeing him, Wei Yan couldn't help laughing, and pushed him towards the table: "Hurry up and eat."

Lu Zexu was really hungry. Although his actions were not rude, a bowl of noodles was gone quickly. down. Wei Yan looked distressed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

Lu Ze took the time to glance at him: "If I don't come back quickly, wouldn't you have to think about it for another day?"

Wei Yan sipped his lips Lips, as if a little embarrassed, shook his feet, and said: "I will never think about it again."

Lu Ze looked at him and smiled, Wei Yan's eyes wandered, and he changed the subject decisively: "Eat slowly, Don't worry, don't worry."

After eating dinner and washing up, Lu Ze lay down on the bed and held Wei Yan in his arms.

The two of them just stick to each other, even if they don't do anything, just lightly lighten their hair and kiss their foreheads, they already feel satisfied at this moment.

Wei Yan faced him, playing with his hair with one hand, although he was a little curious about what happened after he went back, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

Or Lu Ze grabbed his dishonest hand and kissed him, and said, "Would you like to go back with me tomorrow morning?"

Wei Yan raised his eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?" His intuition told him that there was a surprise on this trip.

Lu Ze lowered his head and bit the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "You will know when you go back."
