Chapter 70 From now on, the Liu and Lu families are of one mind.

In the evening, as the sky gradually darkened, the prisoners and the officials each had a big pancake in their hands and were eating it.

Because of the marrow cleansing pill, Lu Xingyan felt a little hot the whole day, but he could clearly feel that something in his body seemed to be changing. He was weak and powerless two days ago, but today he felt as if he had endless energy to walk.

His changes were noticed by everyone.

The minor official Du Hangwu had arranged to stay with the Lu family came to report to him, "Boss, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that Lu Qing gave his youngest son something to eat. He was so sick yesterday, but today he seems to be alive again!"

The little official said confidently, "What Lu Qing gave his son must be a magical medicine!"

Since there are gods, there must be magic medicine given by gods. Who knows, if you take it, you can live a hundred years longer!

Du Hangwu's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the Lu family not far away. Magic medicine?

At this time, Lu Qing personally took the cakes given by the ancestor during the day and gave them to Liu Xiangbai. He was leaning on a cane, and Lu Xingyao was supporting him.

At this time, Liu Xiangbai was eating a pancake in one hand and holding the blindfold in the other. He was a little conflicted and was hesitating whether to wear it tonight.

After all, it is just a dream, not the wife and daughter themselves. It would be inappropriate to indulge in it too much.

Lu Qing bent down slightly and stuffed the paper bag in his hand into Liu Xiangbai's arms, "Nephew, come here, take it."

I have been away from the capital for a month. Now I can have a bite of food cooked by my wife. I am so happy that I will not be able to sleep tonight.

Lu Qing sighed that his ancestors were so kind-hearted.

Looking at the paper bag, Liu Xiangbai was slightly stunned, "Uncle Lu, what is this?"

Thinking of leaving some surprises for people to discover themselves, Lu Qing smiled and said, "You'll know once you open it."

Liu Xiangbai put the blindfold back into his lapel and put it close to his body. Then he bit the pancake and opened the paper wrapping. In the faint light of the fire, he saw several exquisite pastries inside.

At this time, it was good enough to have some coarse bread to eat. Moreover, he was afraid that life would be too good and he would forget what he insisted on in his heart.

He reached out to return the paper bag to Lu Qing, "Uncle Lu, I don't like sweets, you can take it back."

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, but Lu Xingyao next to him didn't bother to be polite with him. He stretched out his hand to take the paper bag, but his grandfather slapped his hand and he retracted it.

Lu Qing looked a little strange, "Can't you tell who did this?"

Liu Xiangbai was also stunned for a moment, "?"

Lu Qing hesitated for a moment. Perhaps he couldn't guess the taste just by looking at it. He had to put it in his mouth to know the taste. He suggested in a deep voice: "Why don't you try a piece."

Lu Xingyao thought it was unnecessary. People didn't want to eat it. There were people who wanted to eat it, like himself. This pastry looked delicious. Liu Xiangbai's wife's cooking skills looked really good!

Liu Xiangbai was silent. At Lu Qing's insistence, he took a piece and put it in his mouth. He took a bite. It tasted fragrant and not too sweet. It was very delicious.

So, he handed the paper bag back and said, "Uncle Lu, I really don't like sweets. I appreciate your kindness. You can take it back."

He felt that the Lu family should keep such delicious food for themselves.

Lu Qing: "."

Now, even Lu Xingyao couldn't bear to watch it anymore. "No, you really can't tell who made this?"

This shouldn't be the case. After being married for seven or eight years, shouldn't the relationship be good? How come he can't even taste his wife's cooking?

Now, Liu Xiangbai was really confused: Should he taste it?

The corners of Lu Xingyao's mouth twitched, and he pointed at the paper bag, "Your wife made it! She was offering sacrifices to my ancestors early in the morning. My ancestors were kind-hearted and brought the things back to you."

Having said this, he couldn't help but praise his ancestor in his heart, saying that he was such a kind-hearted god.

Therefore, the image of the old ancestor was once again deepened in his mind: white hair and white beard, holding a whisk, and looking like an immortal!

Liu Xiangbai was stunned for a moment, and his hands holding the paper bag were shaking. He looked down at the cake in his hand. Was it made by his wife?

His eyes felt a little sore and hot tears welled up and fell on the paper bag with a "pa".

In the past, his wife would even burn her hands when making tea, but now she can make cakes. As her husband, he has no idea how much suffering she has endured during this period.

No wonder my wife looked so haggard when I saw her last night! ! ?

Could it be that the wife I saw last night was my real wife and not just a dream!?

"!!!"

Liu Xiangbai's tears welled up when he realized this. He grabbed the paper bag and suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Qing. He even kowtowed. His heart was filled with endless gratitude towards this god of the Lu family.

Lu Qing quickly asked his grandson to help the man up. "My ancestors said that your wife and daughter are fine. Your daughter is lively and active, very lovable, so you can rest assured."

Liu Xiangbai pulled his sleeves to wipe his tears, "Thank you, Uncle Lu. Please thank your gods on my behalf. I will remember your kindness today. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water to help you."

He knew clearly that he had nothing now. Apart from saying thank you, he could only make a promise in the future that when the situation improved, he would definitely repay the Lu family for their kindness during this period of time.

Lu Qing stroked the beautiful hair that he had wiped with water in the morning, "Your and my families have suffered together, so from now on we will be one family."

Liu Xiangbai was even more grateful. In fact, the Liu family's current situation was really bad. If it weren't for the Lu family's several times of assistance, including warm clothes and food, they would probably have died on the road like the other prisoners.

Now, the Lu family still treats them as a family.

Liu Xiangbai actually knew why his father died for his remonstrance. In the eyes of others, his father died because of the Lu family, and the Liu family also suffered because of it. But in fact, his father did this not only to help the Lu family, but also to save himself.

When a tyrant emperor was in power and Lu Qing was still a cabinet minister, he and his father seemed to be rivals, but in fact they were protecting each other.

My father is an imperial censor who prides himself on being an upright person. He has offended many powerful people. Without Lu Qing, he will be isolated and helpless in the court. The fate of the entire Liu family will only be worse than it is now.

The death of a clean-minded censor made the incompetent emperor controversial and forced him to take a step back, giving the entire Lu family a chance to escape and allowing the Liu family to save itself.

If you don't lend a helping hand to others when they are in trouble, you may not be the next one to fall. My father took a gamble and used his own life to save more people.

Liu Xiangbai bowed respectfully to Lu Qing and said, "My nephew understands."

From now on, the Liu and Lu families will be of one mind.

The atmosphere became even more heated, but Lu Xingyao suddenly said, "Since you don't want this cake, then give it to me!"

As he said this, he reached out to take it.

Liu Xiangbai covered the paper-wrapped cake tightly and handed over the remaining half of his cake, "Young Master, how about you eat this?"

Lu Xingyao: "."

Liu Xiangbai had refused the cakes several times before, but now he couldn't bear to part with them. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You should keep them for yourself!"

He was just joking. He had food given by his ancestors and he didn't want someone else's half a pie.

It was getting dark. When Gu Xingzhao came to serve the table, the little old man was wrapped in a down jacket, eating instant noodles happily.

Because sometimes they were unable to deliver meals, the Lu family would make instant noodles themselves.

She thought about it and thought that the Lu family must be tired of eating instant noodles after eating them for so long, so she would have to send some other food later.

Just as Gu Xingzhao was thinking about it, he found that Liu Xiangbai was there too. He not only wrote a calligraphy copybook for Lu Youtang to copy, but was also teaching Princess Shunyu to read.

She was a little surprised, "Why is he teaching?"
