Guizhen

Chapter 3 A Ribbed Calendered Paper
"One yard is one yard. The Wuming Mountains are not evil at all. Zheng Kun didn't figure it out and took people there rashly... How is this different from sending someone to death?" Lu Zhen sighed, "I originally planned to pay respects to my grandmother's birthday before going to Wuming Mountain. Ming Shan surrendered him. I didn't expect Zheng Kun to be so hasty, acting recklessly without inquiring clearly."

"He is not reckless or hasty, but he wants to claim credit." Old Master Lu gave Lu Zhen a peanut, "You just have to eat at home and don't have to worry about the people in the Shenji department. They have the royal salary , you should take this risk." Throwing a peanut into his mouth, he muttered while chewing, "If the person surnamed Zheng dies, it will be regarded as killing the people."

Lu Guan glanced at Old Master Lu, and said to Lu Zhen, "Your grandfather is joking."

He's not kidding!The old man Lu snorted sullenly, "Zheng Kun's mouth is full of swords, double-faced and three-handed. I think back then..."

Speaking of the events back then, Old Master Lu stopped suddenly, twisted his beard with his hands, raised his eyelids and glanced at Lu Guan, who nodded slightly at him.Old Master Lu pouted, and Lu Guan shook his head.Old Master Lu's eyes widened, and Lu Guan's shoulders immediately relaxed.

His eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them several times.Lu Zhen lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she realized it.The only thing that can make Mrs. Lu so unspeakable is her background.

Lu Guan cleared his throat and called softly: "Jane, Miss Zhen..."

"What's the matter?" Lu Zhen raised her head to look at Lu Guan, "Tell me."

"Sister Zhen..." Lu Guan shook his heart, and continued: "I, we have always wanted to have a good chat with you, but...you only come back two or three times a year..." When he came back, he was very busy. very.Mrs. Lu asked the old lady released from the palace to teach Sister Zhen the rules.Sister Zhen worked from morning to night, and it was difficult to see her.

What a long-winded!Old Master Lu gave the unfilial son a sideways look, cleared his throat, and took over the conversation, "Sister Zhen, your father picked you up from the mountains."

Lu Guan pouted secretly.There is no need to say anything that is well known.

Lu Zhen paused when she pinched the peanut.She knew since she was a child that she was not Lu Xuan's biological daughter.It's just recorded under his name, and his surname is Lu.Although she was not her own, the Lu family loved her very much and did not make her feel wronged in the slightest.

The older she gets, the more Lu Zhen wants to know who her biological parents are.Why did she cruelly abandon her in the deep mountains and poor forests.In front of Mrs. Lu, Lu Zhen hid this curiosity deeply.The old lady Lu treated her like a jewel, and she couldn't break the old lady's heart.

However, no matter how deeply she hides, she cannot escape Pei Dongzhai's eyes.Before leaving home, Pei Dongzhai told a story about her life experience.In the story, she is the granddaughter of Gu Huaide, the former great national teacher.

"It's a long story." Old Master Lu's eyes were deep, "More than ten years ago, the Lu Jian case shocked the government and the public... Even Gu Daguo was implicated..."

In the early years of the general chapter, Lu Jian followed the late emperor to drive the Tatars out of the Central Plains.Because of his military exploits, he was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping.Since then, he has been guarding Datong.More than ten years ago, that is, in the sixth year of Yuanhe, Lu Jian's deputy general issued a secret document to Emperor Yuanhe, and attached evidence of Lu Jian's private embezzlement of military pay.

Yuan Hedi was furious.Lu Jian was taken to the capital for trial.Later, someone accused Master Gu Daguo of bewitching Emperor Yuanhe with his evil words, and that he was an adulterer with Lu Jianpeng.In an instant, everyone in the court was in danger.

Every time Lu Guan thinks about that fairy, the old man who knows the past and the present can't help but sigh. "Your Majesty trusts Teacher Gu Daguo deeply, and also has deep resentment towards him. Before finding out the truth, he decreed that all of Gu's family be beheaded."Lu Xuan and Gu Daguo's son are both classmates and good friends.The two have frequent contacts.In addition, Mrs. Lu is a well-known iron-mouthed censor.He has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, and he respects Gu Da Guoshi very much.The same is true of Master Gu.As soon as Gu Huaide was imprisoned, Mrs. Lu was the first to stand up and express his feelings for him.However, it turned out that Mrs. Lu was imprisoned in the prison.The Gu family could not escape death after all.

"The Gongwei Division entered the mansion to arrest people, and Grandma Gu, who was pregnant, was frightened and mobilized ahead of time." Old Master Lu's eyes were slightly closed, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandma Gu is pregnant with twins. Back to production..."

The hoarse voice brought people back to the moment when the whole Gu family was terrified.Grandma Gu's body was bleeding a lot, and she was about to die.The female relatives were all locked in the backyard, and they begged the school captain who guarded the gate to send a message to the front yard, asking Mrs. Wen to enter the mansion.Crying and begging if it doesn't work, I will offer all the hairpins and rings.All he got was a sneer and sneer.

The Gu family, who used to be like a brocade of flowers, has become a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.In desperation, the old mother delivered the baby to Grandma Gu.

The baby boy who was born with all his strength could not cry or move, and was breathless within a quarter of an hour.Grandma Gu's liver and gallbladder were torn apart.At this time, she was at the end of her strength, and she gave birth to a baby girl and passed away.

"That baby girl is me." Lu Zhen's voice trembled, her eyes were slightly red.

Old Master Lu and Lu Guan looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Did Master Pei tell you everything?"

Lu Zhen pursed her lips tightly and nodded slowly.

Why didn't Zhenren Pei communicate with them?It's hard for his father and son to think about their words without sleep for several nights.It's more stressful than the test of fame.

Lu Zhen suppressed her tears and tried to squeeze out a smile, "Master just said it concisely. It's far less thrilling than my grandfather's."

Pei Dongzhai is detached from the world, and the suffering in the world is just a fleeting cloud in his eyes.Old Master Lu, as a former imperial censor with an iron mouth, his storytelling level is much higher than that of Pei Dongzhai.

Lu Zhen stood up and bowed respectfully to Old Master Lu, "On the way back, my granddaughter thought a lot. Lu Jian's case was involved in a lot of things back then. Master Gu is highly regarded by His Majesty. Even if he is involved in the case, he should be interrogated before making a verdict. , The order to copy and behead the whole family was made very hastily. The Gu family was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded after only three days in prison. There must be some inside story that is not humane. You took me in regardless of safety and raised me. The granddaughter is grateful for this kindness Endless."

Thank you for your kindness.

Everything she has now was given by the Lu family.It would be a humiliation to Old Master Lu if he promised repayment easily.

The old man Lu accepted her three worships calmly, and said with a beard: "Good boy, you get up first." From the moment he decided to adopt Lu Zhen, he never thought of being alone.

"We originally planned to wait until you were in time to tell you these things." Lu Guan took out a piece of paper from the wooden box with a lock and handed it to Lu Zhen, "Why don't we wait."

Lu Zhen took the paper and took a closer look at it. Ribbed calendered paper can be bought at any pen and ink shop.There are only two words on the note paper - left pearl.

The leftover pearl refers to her?Lu Zhen lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is someone trying to blackmail grandfather with these specious words?"
