Chapter 235 I’ll light a lamp for you.

Lu Shaoqing came back from Luming Academy and had just changed into a set of regular clothes. Hearing this, he was a little surprised and said: "What do you mean, Su Mingjue came to Lu Mansion?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, Master Su." When people entered the mansion, Qing Songgang led them to Qizhu Tower. Lu Shaoqing heard this and murmured: "This is the first time he came to Lu Mansion, and he went to see his brother first." "But if there is something urgent, I want to see my brother

."

"Discuss"

Amao stood aside and shook his head, "I don't know about this servant. I can't enter Qizhu Tower, so I can only take a look at it from a distance."

Qizhu Tower is Lu Shaoyu's courtyard, where he lives on weekdays. All official business is carried out there, and because it involves court affairs, it is always heavily guarded, making it difficult for a group of people to enter.

Lu Shaoqing thought for a while and said, "Maybe I have something to do with my brother. I'll just wait here."

After saying that, Lu Shaoqing calmed down and picked up the book he had not finished yesterday and read it again, "Mingjue The method of attracting thunder is very subtle, and I don’t know how he did it."

When Amao saw his master making progress, he didn't say anything and just stood aside to serve him attentively.

After a stick of incense passed, Lu Shaoqing looked at the book in his hand and stopped. "Is their conversation over?"

Amao stood outside the door and listened to the news that the boy had inquired about. He shook his head, "Xiao Feng said Master Su is still inside and hasn't come out yet."

Lu Shaoqing murmured while listening: "It's almost dinner time, why haven't you come out yet? Could it be that we stay in the house to eat together?"

Thinking of this, he looked at Amao and said: " You go and ask, did my brother leave anyone for dinner?"

After a while, Amao left and came back: "Master, there was no order for extra food in the kitchen. The eldest master directly sent people to deliver food to Qizhuyuan. I saw The maid who brought the food brought two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. "

They are eating directly in the Qizhu Courtyard, so there is no need to call me."

Lu Shaoqing's face changed into several expressions when he heard this, and soon he stood up and walked over. Walk outside the house.

Before Amao could fully react, his young master had walked far away, and he chased after him, all the way to Qizhuyuan.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he was stopped by someone: "Second Young Master, your Excellency has ordered that no one can come in and disturb us during the discussion."

Lu Shaoqing walked inside, "I have something to do with my brother."

The man stopped him with a sword in his hand. , "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, you can't go in."

Lu Shaoqing stood there and glared at the person blocking the way, "I can't go in either

." "My Lord ordered that no one can go in, and Second Young Master is no exception."

Lu Shaoqing walked away after hearing this . , "Just wait for me."

...

in the bamboo courtyard.

The table was covered with exquisite dishes. Lu Shaoyu took a piece of roasted meat and put it into Su Mingjue's bowl. "Try this. My cook is very good at it. Although it is not as good as Yipinju, it still has a unique flavor."

Su Mingjue took a bite. Crispy, sweet, plump and juicy, his eyes lit up unexpectedly, "Has this meat been marinated in advance? It's so juicy, and it doesn't taste bad at all."

Lu Shaoyu smiled lightly: "I really like it . , you can taste all the subtle differences."

Su Mingjue tried several other dishes one after another, all of which were different from those on the market and had a completely new taste.

Unknowingly, he added two bowls of rice.

After the meal, he wiped his mouth sheepishly and said, "I accidentally got too greedy."

Lu Shaoyu looked at him with a smile, "You are still growing at a young age, so it is inevitable that you eat too much. You have a bigger appetite now."

Su Mingjue felt shy unconsciously after hearing this.

Why did Lu Shaoyu feel like he was raising him like a child?

After finishing the meal, the sky was already dusk.

A rustling sound came from the silent bamboo forest. Su Mingjue looked at Lu Shaoyu and said, "Where are you talking about?"

Lu Shaoyu took Su Mingjue to the back of the bamboo forest. At this time, night fell and it was dark outside. Not a single star could be seen in the sky, and only Lu Shaoyu held a lamp to illuminate the front.

Accompanied by the whistling wind and the sound of bamboo leaves being blown to the ground.

The cold night wind blew up Su Mingjue's hair at his ears and temples, sending a chill down his neck, making him shiver.

This place looked a little eerie to him, and a little scary beyond words.

Fortunately, after walking a certain distance, Lu Shaoyu stopped.

This sight made Su Mingjue feel even more frightened. With the weak lamp in Lu Shaoyu's hand, Su Mingjue saw a straight corridor ahead. Various stone statues were lined up on both sides of the corridor. Most of the stone statues were dressed as civil servants.

Su Mingjue looked at Lu Shaoyu and said: "This is"

Lu Shaoyu said concisely and concisely: "the resting place of my clan." Isn't

the resting place

the tomb of Lu's ancestors? Why did Lu Shaoyu bring him here?

Su Mingjue was still thinking. At that time, Lu Shaoyu didn't know when he took a handful of incense in his hand, then took out a handful of huozi from his body, lit them, and inserted them one by one on the incense burner in front of the stone statue.

After inserting himself along the stone statue, he was already standing at the front of the corridor. Seeing that Su Mingjue was still staying there, he turned around and said, "Come here."

Su Mingjue was stunned when he heard this, "This is not good!"

After all, this is where his ancestors were. " Why is he, a foreigner, going there?

"If you don't come over, then I can only stand there all the time, and I have to go forward."

Su Mingjue, a man, stiffened his body and looked at the dark surroundings, and shook his head. He shook his head, this place was really a bit too weird.

Su Mingjue looked at the dim lanterns in front of him, and finally hurried towards Lu Shaoyu while bowing his hands to the ancestors of the Lu family.

However, after meeting Lu Shaoyu, Su Mingjue was not necessarily less scared.

In front of him was a straight upward staircase, with unlit red lanterns hanging on both sides, fluttering in the wind at the moment.

It was pitch black ahead, with red lanterns, and what you saw at first glance was not festive but scary, like the building of resentment written in a storybook.

Su Mingjue touched his arm unnaturally, "What are these lanterns for?"

"To light them."

Su Mingjue was stunned when he heard this, "What?"

"This place is called Ming Palace, which means the road is clear, and the path of life is Take the stone steps in front of you, for example. Only those with courage and fearlessness can go up step by step. Only after lighting every lamp can they pass through and reach the top of the steps step by step. "

Lu Shaoyu looked at the steep steps and said: "I. I haven't been here for many years."

As he spoke, Lu Shaoyu had already opened the lantern. The strong wind at night blew the candle around. Lu Shaoyu blocked it with his hand, raised it and pulled down the lantern. The first red light overhead was lit.

Suddenly there was a glimmer of light on the dark steps. Su Mingjue looked at the two sides running back and forth, struggling a little, then walked to the right and said, "I'll help you light the lamp."

After saying that, he took out a fire stick from his body, lit it and carefully protected it in his palm, and lit the first lamp on the right side of his head.

As the lanterns on the left and right sides were lit, the path to the first step became bright.

Then came the second step, the third step...

Lu Shaoyu looked at the busy figure on the right, and his childhood puzzlement was answered.

At that time, he had just assumed the important responsibility of the Lu family, and the first test he received was to light all the lights on the steps alone.

The night that day was darker than today, and the wind was stronger than today. He lit all the lamps on the steps with one breath.

He was not afraid of this, but he didn't understand why the lamp on a step on this road was lit twice, when one lamp could provide enough light.

Tonight, he discovered that the road that a person has to go through thousands of dangers to complete will not only be brighter but also faster with someone accompanying him.

The two of them stopped talking, one on the left and the other on the right, and calmly and focusedly lit up every lamp in their hands.

Su Mingjue raised his hand to light the last lamp, and Lu Shaoyu's deep voice came from the side, "Do you know why I brought you here tonight?"

Su Mingjue shook his head.

Lu Shaoyu turned around and looked at the steps they had just walked. The road that was dark and deep before now turned into a bright and bright road swaying in the wind.
