Time is fleeting.

When Li Shepherd said goodbye to his family at Fenglin ferry and embarked on the road to study in the starry sky, it was a beautiful spring, red flowers and green grass, weak willows blowing the wind, the air was wrapped with the smell of soil, and there were swimming fish in the West Lake.

When I returned to Tiandu this time, it was several months later, and the winter of Tiandu had come. The leaves are withered and yellow, the chrysanthemums are blooming, and the cold wind is as sharp as a knife. The Chimonanthus chinensis has withstood the wind and frost in the yard and sprouted one or two buds.

Gongsun Yu and her husband Lu Qingming stood under the eaves of the porch talking. They saw a beautiful young man wearing white robes and crown jade coming towards this side under the leadership of jing'er. They were both dull for a moment.

Eyes like stars, eyebrows like swords.

The facial features are like knives and axes, and the corners of the mouth are smiling.

With wide robes and big sleeves, he walked through the garden under the leadership of a young girl in a green shirt, like a relegated fairy coming to earth, which was amazing.

When the couple looked at each other, they both had an incredible feeling.

They had heard from Li shepherd before that the son was as black as charcoal and extremely ugly. It belongs to the type that you don't want to look at the second eye after the first one.

Just now when they reported their identity, the couple were in a high mood. They were only trying to digest their inner joy and hide each other's identity. They didn't pay special attention to Li shepherd's face.

Besides, it was impossible even if you wanted to see it carefully at that time.

Because Li shepherd suffered a lot in the dreamland. After leaving the country, he fought with immortal impermanence and strange Taoist. Then he changed into a soldier's brown robe and ran with dozens of black cavalry for more than ten days to return to Tiandu---------

Fearing another attack on the road, they dared not stop and delay at all. Every day I take a break, eat some dry food and go on the road immediately, not to mention the luxury of bathing and dressing.

"It's so similar." Gongsun Yu stared at the beautiful boy who came towards them without blinking. His left hand tightly grasped his husband's arm and said excitedly, "it's so similar. It's so similar. Qingming is very much like when you were young. "

Lu Qingming also looked pleased and said, "it's like pine and bamboo, moistening a gentleman. If you have such a son, what do you want in life? "

"Qingming, this is our child. It's our son. I'm a mother - I'm so happy when I look at it. "

"Did you know that? Why? " Lu Qingming sighed. When I think of the conversation with my father just now, there is an imperceptible haze in my eyes.

Li shepherd walked up to Lu Qingming and Gongsun Yu, bowed deeply with both hands, and said, "I'm really sorry to have kept uncle Lu and aunt Lu waiting for a long time."

Gongsun Yu went down the steps, reached out to hold Li shepherd's hand and said, "soon. Soon. Hungry? We'll eat now. "

Lu Qingming had no time to stop, so he could only watch his wife treat Li shepherd as his son.

"If you go on like this, I'm afraid you can't hide things?" Lu Qingming thought anxiously.

After getting along all the way, Lu Qingming had some understanding of Li shepherd's character. This is a young man with a cheerful appearance but extremely proud and sensitive heart. He doesn't seem to care about anything, but he has extremely traditional and filial piety in his bones. Along the way, he mentioned his parents countless times. Of course, at that time, he didn't realize that his parents were Li Yan and Luo Qi who lived in Lu Fu.

If he knew that he was originally the eldest son of the Lu family and was abandoned by the Lu family for a healthy baby girl because of his natural disability, how would he feel about the Lu family? How will you feel about Lu Fu?

At that time, I was afraid it was no longer tenderness, but hatred and roaring?

"If I had known this, why did I have to?" Lu Qingming sighed deeply in his heart.

Li Shepherd is full of uneasiness. Mrs. Lu -- it's too much.

How can you talk like this?

Moreover, she looked at herself as if she were looking at her son. However, Li shepherd has seen their own son. Her eyes at the little fat man are not as doting as herself.

Li shepherd suddenly sweated and had an extremely absurd idea in his heart.

"They don't think -- what's the improper classmate relationship between themselves and Lu Junji, and treat themselves as their future son-in-law?"

The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy to sit and stand.

It's impossible for him and Lu, but Li shepherd can't say such words to them.

Gongsun Yu put all his mind on Li shepherd, took Li shepherd to sit on the small table, and then knelt down beside him to help him cut meat and pour wine.

Carnivorous guests were serving of individual dishes when the westerly Empire entertained guests. Each had a small case, with meat and wine on it.

Lu Qingming sat on the small table opposite Li shepherd, looked at the busy wife kneeling over Li shepherd, and whispered, "Xiao Yu, let the shepherd come by himself -- he's not comfortable with you."

Li shepherd quickly picked up his glass and said, "Uncle Lu, I'll give you a toast."

Lu Qingming picked up the wine glass and drank it with Li shepherd.

Father and son drink at the same table, but it is difficult to recognize each other. This feeling is really -- very wonderful.

Seeing the wine stains on the corners of Li shepherd's mouth after drinking, Gongsun Yu quickly took a silk handkerchief to help Li shepherd wipe away the wine stains and said, "drinking on an empty stomach is easy to hurt your body. Hurry to eat something to cushion."

Li shepherd really wants to cry without tears.

They thought that they must treat themselves as future son-in-law.

If they propose marriage to their mother, even their parents will not object.

No, I have to say hello to my father and mother when I go back. I have to bite the bullet and refuse anyway-

Gongsun Yu suddenly remembered something, reached out for one, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then he glanced at Li shepherd, turned and left quickly.

When he returned again, he was followed by a little servant girl holding a tray with both hands.

The servant girl knelt on the ground and lifted the tray to Gongsun Yu's side.

Gongsun Yu opened an antique box on the tray, took out a ring-shaped jade formula from it, handed it to Li shepherd and said, "I always feel that something is missing. Now I remember that there is a pendant missing from the shepherd's waist. I brought this jade from home. Now I give it to you. The shepherd hangs it around his waist as an ornament. "

Li shepherd's heart is cold.

Is this the next bride price?

Because of the cold weather, people habitually eat dinner early, soak their feet and sleep under the quilt.

Because of my mother's illness, I have no appetite these days.

His father was still on duty in the front yard. Li missed heating the chicken soup left at noon, and then brought it to his mother Luo Qi's bedside.

Luo Qi shook her head and said, "Miss, eat the chicken soup. Don't waste it. I have no appetite. "

"Mother, just eat some." Li missed looking at his mother's emaciated face and felt uncomfortable. However, there was no abnormality in the appearance. As usual, he smiled and said, "I don't dare to drink soup. Another soup will make you fat into a pig. Look at my face. Is it much fatter than before? "

Luo Qi looked at her daughter with a loving face and said with a smile, "it's better to be fat. Be fat and healthy. "

"Hum, I don't want to be fat. Fat doesn't look good. I met careful today. She is thinner than when she was in Jiangnan. His face is like that melon seed. It's beautiful. " Li Longxiang pouted and said.

Sure enough, Luo Qi was interested when Li missed mentioning Cui careful. Her voice was weak and asked, "where did you play with careful today?"

"I went to lingjiu Temple today. There are many birds in it. It's beautiful. Mother, when you get well, I'll take you to see a doctor. " Li Miss said with a smile on his face.

"OK." Luo Qi nodded and said, "if your brother is here, our family will go to see it together."

Li's missing heart felt gripped in his hand. He smiled and said, "mother, careful and I have made an appointment to go to the thousand Buddha Temple to pray for my brother tomorrow. It's said that the Bodhisattva of thousand Buddha Temple is effective. We both sincerely ask, and the Bodhisattva will send his brother back. "

"That's a good thing." Luo Qi nodded“ To show my sincerity, I'll go with you tomorrow. "

Li was anxious and said, "mother, it's a long way to Qianfo temple. You're not feeling well. How can you go a long way? Don't worry. I'll ask my brother back if we go carefully. "

"What is a few steps? If you can get your brother back, let me climb over. " Luo Qi said firmly.

"Mother --"

"All right. That's it. " Luo Qi said very stubbornly“ My body is not in the way. Let's make a wish to the Bodhisattva early, and your brother can come back early, can't he? "

"Then drink this bowl of soup first." Miss Li sent the soup bowl and said, "otherwise I won't allow you to go."

Luo Qi no longer refused this time. He picked up the soup bowl and drank a bowl of soup.

"Can we go now?" Luo Qi looked expectantly at her daughter and asked.

"Yes." Li had to nod in agreement. I thought that my mother's disease was a heart disease. If I took her out for a walk, it might be good for my health.

Li missed talking with Luo Qi for a while. Seeing that Luo Qi was sleepy, he served her to sleep, blew out the light and walked out of the room.

Standing under the eaves, I saw a handsome young man in white standing in front of the window.

Li missed the alert look on his face, secretly gathered strength in his fist and shouted, "who are you? Dare to break into Lu mansion at night. Don't you want to live? " Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
