Chapter 97: Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water
She thought that this method might not be used in ancient times, so she wanted to make a new dish for him to try. But she didn't expect that he didn't recognize it as pig's trotter.
Lu Huan's sharp eyes scanned her body several times. He had no doubt that Su Qian wanted to poison him. "There's no food in the kitchen? Can you bring this up for me to eat?"
Su Qian smiled and set the table. "You can dislike it now, but I guarantee you'll be surprised later and will definitely fall in love with this dish."
Lu Huan still doubted whether she was playing a trick on him. After all, Su Qian could really do such a thing. "Pig's trotters... can this thing be eaten?"
Su Qian: "Yes, it's edible! If you don't believe me, I'll eat it first and you can watch me eat. Otherwise, you will always doubt me."
Lu Huan finally compromised, "...Okay."
To be honest, the presentation of her dishes was quite good, at least much better than he had imagined, which really surprised him.
Su Qian washed her hands, sat next to him, picked up a piece of beef brisket and put it in his bowl, "Since you have never eaten pig's trotters, why not try a piece of beef brisket first."
Lu Huan looked at the piece of beef brisket in the bowl silently, and his thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the past scenes. He suddenly recalled a gentle and beautiful woman in his memory.
It was also an afternoon, and the weather suddenly became extremely hot, making it unbearable, but I could always feel a sense of peace around her.
The woman's expression was gentle, like the warm spring breeze and the gentle rain that moistens the earth.
When he was not seeing her, he was always longing in his heart, wanting to see her, wanting to be able to honor and serve her by her side all the time.
His friends and classmates all grew up under their mothers' laps, with their mothers' love and care. But he and Lu Guang grew up in the military, and throughout the year, he seldom had the opportunity to see her.
So much so that when I grew older, whenever I saw her again, I always felt a sense of restraint, as if we were strangers.
I can’t cry or throw a tantrum like a child, and I can’t express how much I miss my mother.
Even when he thought of her, he just acted politely and respectfully, not daring to lose his manners or let others criticize him for being unfilial, thus bringing shame to his mother and embarrassing her.
Lu Guang always prevented him from seeing her. He always said, "Mrs. Fang is too coarse and unworthy to bear the responsibility of being a wife and raising children. It is for your own good that I don't let you be raised by Mrs. Fang."
At that time, he didn't understand why his father wanted to marry him if he disliked his mother so much. Lu Guang didn't answer, but just told him, "If you have a promising future, your mother will have some face."
He remembered Lu Guang's words for a long time, and because of this sentence, he trained very hard on the training ground, learning literature and martial arts, and he was excellent in everything.
Not only did he achieve military merit at a young age, he also passed the imperial examinations all the way and eventually made it to the palace examination, becoming the third place in the imperial examination.
He became the third place in the imperial examination and was supposed to be an editor in the Hanlin Academy.
The main responsibilities of the Hanlin Academy are to select outstanding talents for the court, train officials, and draft documents. But generally speaking, these are idle jobs, and they still need to wait for replacement officials.
In other words, one has to gain experience in the Hanlin Academy.
A founding hero and a military officer family, they actually had a third-class 3rd-place winner. To outsiders, it was really glorious, but Lu Guang was still not satisfied.
At that time, the imperial court was facing internal and external troubles. Because the emperor was incompetent and obsessed with women, before he could stay in the position of editor of the Hanlin Academy for long, Prince Guangling rose up in rebellion and led his troops to rebel.
Lu Guang asked the emperor for permission to take Lu Huan with him to quell the rebellion. The emperor readily agreed and appointed him as General Zhaoyong, a sixth-rank official.
At that time, the editor of the Hanlin Academy was only of the seventh rank. However, because of his family's founding of the country and his loyalty to the emperor and the country, the emperor allowed him to go to war with his father and promoted him.
As expected, Lu Huan won many victories in the pacification here and made great military achievements until he returned to the capital.
In order to commend him, the emperor promoted him three levels, skipping from fifth rank lower, fifth rank upper, fifth rank lower, and directly becoming the fifth rank General Hongyi.
He was only eighteen years old that year, and he fought for glory for himself, for the Lu family, and even more for her.
But by that year, she had been dead for nine years.
He could only tell her about all his hard work and his pride when he offered incense to her in the ancestral temple.
He betrayed the woman's true feelings. For the sake of a so-called reputation and to bring honor to her, he wasted a lot of time and lost his family affection.
Later, if it weren't for an accident, he would not have discovered the clues of his mother's death and would not have known the truth of the matter.
All of this is just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, all of which are ethereal and virtual.
He had been loyal to this country and this court, grateful to the emperor, and treated everyone with courtesy, but in the end he found out that it was all a scam.
It was a scam in which he was the only one deceived, and his mother was the only one victimized.
They were in high positions and considered themselves noble. They looked down on her background and thought she was unworthy. They imprisoned her in the backyard, trapped her in a cage, and cut off her family lineage.
They were the ones who ruined her life. They imposed so many shackles on him just to prevent him from meeting her.
That gentle woman eventually only existed in his memory, leaving a deep mark on him.
Her death was a warning, making him realize his situation and letting him know that all this was just an illusion they created.
They had harmed her and deceived him, so naturally he had to avenge her.
Su Qian's voice rang in his ears, "Try this pig's trotter, it's really delicious, look..."
"It's very soft and sticky. I stewed it for an hour. Please at least give me some face and try it..."
Lu Huan frowned. She sometimes really...talked a lot.
Her personality was completely opposite to the mother in his memory. His mother would cook for him, hoping that he would use more of her food.
But her approach was full of flattery and expectation, and contained many things that he could not understand as a child.
The way Su Qian picked up food for him matched the face of the person in her memory. At that moment, she felt that Su Qian looked a bit like her.
Now, it doesn’t feel like that anymore.
Lu Huan interrupted her, "You are really noisy."
Su Qianyu paused, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. If you don't want to eat, then don't eat."
There was a hint of smile in Lu Huan's eyes.
If he had not been so slow when he was a child, if he had noticed the abnormality earlier, perhaps he and his mother would have lived like ordinary mother and son.
He can say whatever he wants to say and express his likes and dislikes in front of her without being so distant. He will be happy in her arms and be filial and sensible.
Lu Huan didn't say anything, but picked up a piece of pig's trotter and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully...
