Chapter 215 Commendation

In the spring of the sixth year of Dashang Dynasty, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion made a mistake during the Lantern Festival, and the hereditary title was reduced to hereditary.

Song Dazhuang, the Marquis of Ningyuan, guarded the border and was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned.

This punishment, whether it is light or serious, is indeed not serious compared to the incident on the 14th.

Officials in Beijing, big and small, who were involved in this matter were all shocked.

The only thing that is incomprehensible is that in this incident, only Yongyi Hou, who was on the same side as Ningyuan Houfu, was scolded by the emperor without any pain.

Everyone knows that the Second Young Master of Song Dynasty, the Marquis of Yongyi, is deeply loved by His Majesty. Even if his arm is broken, His Majesty will not have the heart to dismiss him. When asked if he wanted to change his place, Song Yunfei said that he liked Yulin Wei very much.

, even if you have a small casual job in the Habayashi Guards.

Song Yunfei, the second son of the Marquis of Yongyi and the commander of the Yulin Guards, was seriously injured when he chased the remnant. He was promoted to the command post for his commendable bravery and was promoted to the third rank.

It’s okay to say that Song Yunfei was a blessing in disguise, or that Song Yunfei was favored by the emperor.

Anyway, the Yongyi Houfu is full of holy love.

That night, the Lu family stayed at Jixiang Building all night, leaving only Chunhua and Qiushi to take time to go back.

Chen Xiaohu was the only one left at home to look after the door. When Lu Xiangge thought about tonight's incident, he always felt a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart.

In the evening, the entire capital was under martial law. Chunhua and Qiushi returned to Luzhai and were interrogated four or five times on the way.

When they arrived home, they saw that the door was closed and Chen Xiaohu was not at home.

Lu Sheige didn't know that Chen Xiaohu was missing until Chenshi returned home the next day.

"Gone?" Lu Shege glanced at the concierge.

The concierges of the Lu family all live in the reverse room at the main entrance. There are three long and thin rooms, one for guests and two for people.

Chen Xiaohu came up from behind and lived alone in the innermost room.

Chunhua opened the door, and Lu Shege went in and walked around.

There is a bed, a table, a chair, and a low cabinet to store clothes. Fortunately, the room is not big and has everything it needs, so it does not look shabby.

"His clothes and belongings are all there, but he is missing." Chen Xiaohu was brought back by Fourth Young Master, and Chunhua did not dare to say more.

Lu Xiangge looked around: "That means he left for something. Don't touch his things for the time being. If he comes back, that's it. If he doesn't come back, we'll talk about it later."

Chunhua responded: "Yes."

But he was muttering in his heart that Chen Xiaohu didn't know where he came from. He came inexplicably and disappeared inexplicably. The fourth young master didn't even care at all.

However, he knew his identity, said what he should say, and didn't dare to ask any questions that shouldn't be asked.

Lu Xiuge only stood in Chen Xiaohu's room. When she returned to the main room, Lu Xiaoyu immediately asked: "Is that Chen Xiaohu gone?"

Lu Shege nodded: "Yeah."

Lu Quan immediately said: "Then you have to let your mother see if there is anything missing at home."

"Dad, no need, Chen Xiaohu is not that kind of person." After thinking about it, Lu Xiangge finally said calmly, "It's okay to let mom take a look."

She believed Chen Xiaohu, but the Lu family didn't know Chen Xiaohu's identity, so there was nothing wrong with checking it out.

"Since you said you're not that kind of person, then what's there to see?" Lu Quan closed his jacket indifferently, "I'll go to the backyard to take a look. You just stay in the house. If you want to eat, just let me know."

Your mother does it, just don’t go out."

After hearing Lu Quan's suggestion to go to the backyard, Lu Xiangge suddenly stood up and said, "Dad, it seems like there will be heavy snow in the evening. Help my mother get some firewood and put it in the kitchen. We'll go to the backyard later."

"Can there be snow at night in this weather?" Lu Quan looked at the clear sky and frowned suspiciously, but did not say anything about going to the backyard and turned to go to the firewood pile to hold firewood.

The firewood chopped by Chunhua and Qiushi was piled behind the kitchen and tied neatly.

Firewood here in the capital has to be bought with money, six cents per load, and it is picked up by porters from the countryside or nearby.

It is said that it is a load, but it is only two bundles, and the branches are not real.

Years ago, the Lu family spent 600 yuan on firewood, and the New Year croquettes and pig heads were half gone.

Lu Quan was so distressed that he thought that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would ask Mrs. Qiu to go to the mountain to have a look.

The capital city is mountainous, and there are always trees and grass on the mountains. Wouldn't it save money to cut some back when the time comes?

Lu Sheige didn't know what Lu Quan was thinking, but he wouldn't stop her if he knew it.

Everyone has their own way of living, and the Lu family is rich, but for Lu Quan and Qiu, there is nothing wrong with spending what they should and saving what they can.

Passing through the second house, there is a small yard between the back room and the main house. It was developed by Lu Quan and Qiu, and several small vegetable gardens were arranged along the walls.

There is a row of houses in the back room, with square bricks built in front of the door. Although no one lives in them, they are kept very clean, and there is not even a gray mark left when you step on them.

The back room was originally reserved for the servants of the family. The Lu family was not a wealthy family, and even Chen Xiaohu only had three boys living in the front room. The back room had always been empty.

Only Ms. Qiu would bring Lu Xiaoyu and Miss Lu Qingluan over to clean it from time to time. Although it was empty, it was not dirty or messy.

Lu Xiangge walked along the eaves of the back room to the back door in the northwest corner.

Open the back door, and you will find an alley that can be passed by carriages. From here, go east, two or three houses away, and you will arrive at Shopkeeper Li's house.

Walking only a hundred meters to the west, you can see the city wall.

Lu Xiige stood at the back door and looked east. The entire alleyway was very quiet, with every door closed. In the past, you could hear dogs barking or children crying, but now it was silent and there was no movement at all.

Looking to the west, we can see that on the road beside the city wall, there are vague soldiers passing by, who are searching for the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Lu Xiangge lowered his head and looked at the threshold of the backyard. No one had left for a long time, and there was a shallow inward-facing footprint outside the threshold.

Someone must have walked through this back door in the past two days.

Lu Sheige carefully closed the door and heard slight movement in the room near the back door.

"who?"

Lu Sheige stepped forward and pushed open the door, and saw a bamboo basket placed in the corner of the empty room.

The bamboo basket was covered with thick straw, and lying in the straw was a black puppy, all black without a trace of hair.

Lu Sheige picked up the puppy and looked at it.

It was a black male dog. My uncle had raised a big black dog, which he often took with him to hunt in the mountains. She and Little Tiger both liked the big dog named Dahei.

The little black dog's nose was wet, and he was not afraid of being lifted up by Lu Sheige. He grunted and licked her hand.

After retracting his hand, Lu Sheige discovered that there was a string of golden lilacs tied to the side of the basket, and the pearls strung on it had turned slightly yellow.

Isn't this the golden lilac she often wore on her head when she was a child?

They were originally a pair, but when she arrived at Lu's house, there was only one. The other one probably fell off on the road and was picked up by the little tiger.

This golden lilac was bought by her eldest brother, second brother and little brother. It was her fourth birthday gift. She had liked it since she was a child and wore it from the age of five to nine until her family was ruined. She also dressed up as a boy.

The pair of golden lilacs had almost been forgotten by her.

Brother Tiger left without a word, leaving only a little black dog and a bunch of golden lilacs.

Does he know he will never come back?
