Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 698
"The youngest left home and the eldest returned, but the local accent has not changed, and the hair on the temples has faded."

For some reason, this sentence flashed through Lu Xiangsheng's mind at this moment.

In the second year of Tianqi, at the age of 22, he won the Jinshi.Afterwards, various places became officials, and the family was also around.But since King Qin in the second year of Chongzhen, he has been focusing on military affairs.It was also from that time that it was inconvenient for my wife and children to be around, so I returned to my hometown.

It is now the 19th year of Chongzhen. After all, it has been 17 years.Is it hard to be away from home for many years?Absolutely hard work!

However, in the early years of Chongzhen, there were wars and famines everywhere, and even the imperial mausoleum could not be kept. The current emperor even issued an edict of sin against himself. It is really a scene at the end of the dynasty.

The most difficult and dangerous battle in this life should be the battle of Julu.Lu Xiangsheng remembered very clearly that at that time, facing the invasion of Jianlu, the situation was so severe that it was unprecedented. He even wrote the death letter to his wife.

But thanks to Taizu Tuomeng, the current emperor worked hard and finally revived Taizu's prestige. Since then, Daming has gradually stepped out of the atmosphere of the doomsday of the dynasty, and the situation is getting better and better. Later, Jianlu, who has been in trouble for many years, has been wiped out. What a disaster, in today's Daming, at least in most areas, there are no more military disasters or natural disasters, and most of the people live and work in peace and contentment, just like the peaceful and peaceful scene I saw before my eyes!
Thinking of these, Lu Xiangsheng felt that all the hard work was really worth it!

At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded not far away: "My lord, are you here to see my uncle, Uncle Liaodong?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look, but saw a young man about thirteen years old, holding a book in his hand, staring at him curiously.Obviously, this young man should be the son of his two younger brothers, or his cousin!
Reaching this conclusion, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing. He didn't expect that he really answered the sentence: When children meet each other and don't know each other, they laugh and ask customers where they come from!
His personal guards also laughed when they heard this, and one of them said with a smile, "Young master, my lord is Liaodong Bo!"

Upon hearing this, the young man opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes were filled with astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Why, uncle, can there be fake ones?" Lu Xiangsheng asked with a smile in a good mood.

After he said this, the young man came to his senses, he did not come over to greet him and call him uncle as Lu Xiangsheng imagined.Instead, he jumped up and ran into the town as fast as he could. While running, he shouted in a very excited tone: "Uncle is back, uncle is back..."

At this time, people in the town had already noticed that this group of knights was outside the town.Ever since there were rumors that Liaodong Bo was ordered to go home to visit his relatives, all dignitaries, whether they were passing by or not, would turn to Yixing.The more you see it, the more you will not be surprised.

Of course, ordinary people are still a little afraid of court officials. It doesn't matter. Those who have no background will just watch the excitement from afar.

But at this time, they were watching the excitement, and when they guessed what kind of official was going to make an empty trip, they heard "Uncle is back, uncle is back..."

Of course they recognized the young man, and they also knew who the uncle he was calling was!
Therefore, when they heard this, they were dumbfounded for a while, and then they became ecstatic, and ran into the town, shouting excitedly while running: "Boss Liaodong is back, Boss Liaodong is back! It's..."

Hearing the shouts, Lu Xiangsheng turned over and got off the horse, looked at their backs, listened to the familiar local accent, couldn't help but smile on his face, and walked leisurely, watching and listening to everything!
Soon, noises came from the town, as well as the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping. The quiet town suddenly became lively, and shouts of calling were everywhere.

In just a short while, a few people dressed as middle-aged scholars rushed out of the town.After seeing Lu Xiangsheng in the scarlet robe, he immediately stopped, just looked at Lu Xiangsheng with mixed surprises, and looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

Behind them, there were still people running out, but they all stopped behind the few people in front.More and more people came out of the town, including men, women, young and old. Without much effort, they were all human beings. From the looks of it, the whole town should have run out.

Of course Lu Xiangsheng was also sizing up the other party, seeing that although he was already middle-aged, he still recognized him immediately, and couldn't help laughing and shouting: "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, you are all here!"

That's right, standing opposite him, those who didn't dare to recognize each other were Lu Xiangsheng's two younger brothers, Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan; the other two were cousins, Lu Xiangtong and Lu Xiangkun.

In the original history, Lu Xiangguan, Lu Xiangtong, and Lu Xiangkun fought against Jianlu and died for the country together in the second year of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation; at that time, there were more than a hundred members of the Lu family who went to the country together.Lu Xiangjin decided not to shave his hair and went to the mountains to become a monk.

And on this plane, Lu Xiangguan has also passed the Jinshi examination in the 16th year of Chongzhen and served as the local magistrate.Generally speaking, at this time, he is also an official in a foreign country and will not appear in his hometown. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng asked this question.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, several of them came back to their senses, and couldn't help but bow to each other with joy and said, "I've seen you brother!"

Hearing them start talking, the whole town, which was originally so lively, suddenly became quiet.Everyone looked at Lu Xiangsheng with wide eyes, as if they wanted to see every inch.

Among them, after Lu Xiangguan finished speaking, he answered Lu Xiangsheng's question again: "I received the emperor's order, saying that my elder brother will go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, and let me go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, so that we can have a reunion together."

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but flashed the figure of the emperor in his mind, and was very moved.The emperor's kindness is really hard to repay in this life!

Lu Xiangsheng's other younger brothers are just Juren and scholars.But a double Jinshi, this is already very remarkable.What's more, one of them, even though he only holds the post of governor, has already been granted the title of Liaodong Bo, which is a great honor.

At this moment, the crowd dispersed automatically, and a middle-aged woman came out surrounded by several young men.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw it, he recognized it immediately. This was his wife, Mrs. Wang.

Lu Xiangsheng married his wife Wang when he was 46 years old in the 19th year of Wanli. He was 22 years old in the first year of Tianqi and was 29th in Yingtianfu Township Examination.His wife, Mrs. Wang, was in poor health and had been ill for a long time. She had only one daughter, so she took the initiative to recruit Mrs. Wang, his concubine, for Lu Xiangsheng.

In the second year of Tianqi, Lu Xiang was promoted to Jinshi; but in the third year of Tianqi, the Wang family died, and since then, it has been the Wang family.There are three sons, all of whom returned to Yixing when they were young.

The first half of his life flashed through his mind, and his eyes locked on a woman and three men behind Wang.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately became a little excited. To be honest, although he didn't know each other, he was sure in his heart that this woman and three men were his son and daughter.

Sure enough, there were tears in the corner of Wang's excited eyes, but he turned sideways and gestured with his hand: "Quick, come and meet your father!"

After hearing this, the three men and one woman immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xiangsheng, and said in an excited tone, "I have seen my father!"

As soon as they knelt down, they saw a lady holding a baby in her arms, and they also knelt down to salute.In addition, there was also a young scholar, leading a four or five-year-old child, who also knelt down and saluted.

Although Lu Xiangsheng has never been home, he has kept in touch with each other through letters. He knows that this is the eldest son's daughter-in-law and son, that is to say, he is already a grandfather.The other one is his son-in-law, and the other one is his grandson.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng was very excited. He quickly strode forward, stretched out his hands while supporting them, and said to them: "They are all good boys, get up quickly, get up quickly..."

At the time of parting, they were still so young, but in the blink of an eye, they were already so big, and even had their own children.Time really flies, time flies like an arrow!
Lu Xiangsheng must have regrets for not watching his children grow up, but he has no regrets.Isn't the purpose of fighting on the battlefield outside is to let them live well and not suffer from military disasters!

When we parted back then, the flames of war were all over the place, and people died of starvation in the fields, which was really worrying.Now it is better!Paying so much protection is obviously worth it!

Seeing their family like this, Lu Xiangguan smiled and said: "Brother, it's getting dark today, let's talk when we go home, let's talk when we go home!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately laughed and said, "That's right, let's talk about it when we go back!"

Hearing what he said, the people watching from behind, including those who didn't have time to see the seven aunts and eight aunts, all moved aside to make way for a passage, and watched Lu Xiangsheng's family pass respectfully.

After more than 100 people from the Lu family left, the onlookers were still unwilling to disperse, and they were discussing Liao Dongbo's matter one after another.

The content was nothing more than boasting about Lu Xiangsheng, saying how majestic he was or something; there were even some old people who talked about the vision that fell from the sky when Lu Xiangsheng was born, and so on. In short, they spoke vividly.

Lu Xiangsheng was not only a very powerful official in the eyes of the common people, but also fought in the north and south, and spent half his life fighting abroad.His story is enough for these people to tell for days and nights.At least in the past few days, their topics are absolutely inseparable from Lu Xiangsheng.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, after talking with his family one by one, he went to the grave of his deceased father and mother the next day to pay homage. He also had to talk to his brothers, teach his children, and even grandchildren. For a while, he would be busy enough.

At the same time, there were other people who were ordered to return to their hometown, but their feelings were different from Lu Xiangsheng's.

　There is no description of Lu Xiangsheng's descendants in the history books, only his and his wife's.However, there is Baidu to the Lu family tree, saying that he has one daughter and three sons.I don’t know why there are no historical records later. It may be that they died in infancy or something else. Let’s just assume that they are all alive here.
