He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

It was already very late when Lu Yan returned home, but Lu Sheng had not yet gone to bed. He was sitting in the yard waiting for her with a letter in his hand.

Lu Yan looked at the letter: "Did mom and dad send a letter? What did it say?"

Lu Sheng smiled: "I really made you guess."

Lu Lao Da and Xu Shi knew how to read but not many, so they asked someone to write the letter. The letter first said that everything was fine at home and not to worry. It also mentioned that Xu Shi was pregnant with a child, who was already seven months pregnant when they wrote the letter. Calculating the date, it was estimated that when they saw the letter, the baby would be about to be born in more than nine months, and by the time their reply came back, the baby should have been born.

As expected, the old couple asked Lu Sheng to give them a name. Lu Sheng's name was originally given by the only old scholar in the village. Now that Lu Sheng is the most learned scholar in the family, it is his turn to give him the name.

Lu Yan held the letter and smiled: "Look what I'm talking about? My parents definitely want you to name it."

Lu Sheng nodded: "Actually, I have already thought about it. What do you think of calling me Lu Zhao? My nickname can be Yangyang."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment: "What a good name, both boys and girls are called this?"

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment by the question: "Of course. What's the difference between boys and girls? Do you think you need to get them separately?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "Of course not. I think this name is very good, and it can be used by both boys and girls."

"Yeah, I think so too." Lu Sheng said proudly: "Zhao means bright sun. Youth is grateful, and the sun is bright. My brothers and sisters, Lu Sheng, will be the brightest sun."

Lu Sheng continued to talk about his future plans: "When parents bring Yangyang to Liaozhou, I will teach him how to read and write, you can teach him how to do business, and let Xiao He teach him kung fu and horse riding and archery. If he likes medicine, you can let him follow Xiao Tu. In spring and autumn, he can watch how farmers sow and harvest crops. In summer and winter, he can go swimming and play in the snow. When he grows up, he can do whatever he wants!"

"Whatever you want to do," Lu Yan repeated, "If he is a boy but doesn't want to study for the imperial examination, or if she is a girl but doesn't want to get married and have children, and has no big ambitions in life, is that okay?"

"Of course." Lu Sheng said confidently: "I worked so hard to study and take exams, and you worked so hard to do business to make money. Why? As our younger siblings, don't you still have some choice? As long as He has grown up to be a kind person, and it doesn’t matter even if he has no achievements in his life. If he can make them happy by being with him, it’s not a waste of money.”

Lu Sheng thought for a while and then said: "If she is really a woman, I might be happier if she has the idea of ​​not getting married, because she must have put it forward after serious consideration. Compared with not wanting to follow the rules, Liu follows the people around her and gets married when she gets older. I think it would be great if she can seriously think about what kind of life she wants to live. As long as she wants to, she can do whatever she wants. It's not like I can't support her. "

Lu Sheng said these words in a very normal tone, but Lu Yan felt a little choked up in her throat. She asked Lu Sheng: "Is it because of me that you have such thoughts?"

"A large part of the reason is because of you." Lu Sheng said: "You said you didn't want to get married, let alone have children. You said that would prevent you from achieving your goals. I was surprised at first, because most women have the biggest The goal is to marry a good man and have a few promising children, but your goal is the opposite of theirs.”

"Later, I saw a lot of women, and gradually I understood why you think so. Most women can't step out of their own backyards in their lives. Most of the women in Lujia Village have never left Kaiyuan Town in their lives, and they have gone the farthest The place is just a town. Their destiny is not controlled by themselves. Wherever their husband and son are, they will be there. My mother can go from Lujiacun to Yaoshan County, then to the capital, and finally to Liaozhou. She has escaped the usual fate of the women in Lujiacun, but she is actually still trapped in her fate, because all this is because of me, she is still following me, and she goes wherever I go, she has no choice. "

"But you are different. Nothing can hold you back. You go not because of who is there, but because you want to. As long as you want, you can live freely anywhere, whether in Hengzhou, Jingcheng, Liaozhou, or even the entire Dali. I finally understand what you are trying so hard to get rid of. It is the shackles of fate shared by all women in this world."

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Yan and smiled: "I always say that I like you. I have been thinking about this kind of feeling for a long time recently. I think liking someone means wanting them to get better and better. Whether it's you, my unborn brother or sister, or my mother, I hope you can get better and better."

"So I will never use my love to trap you, and I will never become the shackles that you try to get rid of. If my love prevents you from moving forward and makes you unhappy, it's better not to have it."

Lu Yan shed two tears uncontrollably. Lu Sheng stretched out his hand to wipe her tears in surprise: "Why are you crying?"

Lu Yan dodged Lu Sheng's hand and asked him, "Do you really think so? Are you trying to say nice things to me?"

Lu Sheng said helplessly, "Of course it's true. What's the point of me coaxing you? You are so capable. If I really tricked you back and locked you in the backyard, you would run away immediately. You don't care about the divorce letter at all. Dali is so old, you can just find a random place to live a carefree life and I won't be able to find you. And you have the support of the Crown Princess, and you will be the Queen in the future."

Lu Sheng counted on Lu Yan's fingers: "You can still live well without me. How can I live in Liaozhou by myself if I leave you?"

Lu Yan was so moved that she held back her tears. You know what he said was quite right, he really understood her very well.

Lu Yan snorted: "Since you already know what I think, let's talk openly. I still don't have the slightest idea of ​​getting married and having children. Even if you say you won't trap me, I can't completely trust you. We will probably maintain the status quo for a long time."

Lu Yan thought for a while and then said: "Of course what I said is that I have no idea of ​​getting married. If you have the idea of ​​getting married, I won't stop you. If you find the girl you like, we will separate. From now on, you will be my biological brother." , I will never let her misunderstand.”

"If you don't want to get married, don't get married. It's good for us to stay like this. What kind of girl am I looking for? I like you and want to get married with someone else. Isn't that a trap for others?" Everything Lu Yan said was within Lu Sheng's expectation. , he accepted quickly: "It's okay not to get married, but I don't want to maintain the status quo for a long time. Can our relationship change?"

Lu Yan looked at Lu Sheng with a puzzled look on her face: "How do you want to change?"

Lu Sheng pulled Lu Yan's hand against his chest and whispered, "Can you like me a little bit?"
