Chapter 82 Meeting an Old Friend on the Lantern

Festival Lu Zhou and Lu Xingyao were puzzled by Lu Qing's reaction. Shouldn't they be happy about such a divine object?

Gu Xingzhao also looked at Lu Qing and had some guesses in his mind. After all, the main use of kerosene in ancient times was as a weapon in war. The old man probably thought of this.

Lu Qing said in a deep voice, "The world is unstable right now. If this thing is used by someone with ulterior motives and used as a weapon, have you thought about the consequences?"

Prince Su is ambitious and war is inevitable sooner or later. If he gets this thing, it will be a disaster for the people of the world.

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou felt a little scared and hurriedly urged his son to put the things away.

However, Lu Xingyao felt that it was normal to have casualties in a war. This thing was a bit powerful, but as long as it did not fall into the hands of people with bad intentions, even if it was used as a weapon, it could be used to resist foreign enemies. Isn't this a good thing?

If the Dog Emperor doesn't let them go in the future, they can use this thing in their hands to make some use of it.

But seeing that his grandfather was worried, Lu Xingyao didn't say what he was thinking and just put the kerosene away.

Gu Xingzhao knew that the old man cared about the people and had always been opposed to the war, but some things could not be helped just by opposing them. In such a situation, war was inevitable.

Lu Qing gave his son and eldest grandson a few more instructions before walking back on his crutches without thinking about what had just happened.

He Zhen used the money left by Gu Xingzhao to rent a house in Beijing and hired back the guards and maids from Liu's mansion.

She had people clean out the largest room for Gu Xingzhao's use.

I live in a slightly smaller house next door with my child.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Gu Xingzhao sent all the fireworks over and taught He Zhen in detail how to use them. She found that He Zhen was really smart and could understand everything at a glance.

I have a pretty good eye for people!

He Zhen brought the shopkeeper of the Xu family who was in charge of the parade, and quietly transported the fireworks to be used, waiting to be set off tomorrow night when the Xu family's parade was held!

After the Lu family's accident, the Xu family, as a relative, suffered a lot in business. Choosing to cooperate with He Zhen was also a gamble. They thought that the portraits were so exquisite, so the real effect would not be bad.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Gu Xingzhao made preparations in advance, wanting to give the Lu and Liu families a surprise.

In order to make Lu Qing and the others take it to heart, she spoke in a more serious tone, "Lu Qing, don't let anyone study tonight. Let everyone go into their tents at night, especially Lu Yang and Xu. Leave one or two people outside to take turns guarding. I have something important to say, remember to call the Liu family along."

Hearing the unprecedented seriousness of the old ancestor's tone, Lu Qing thought something had happened and felt uneasy. Could it be that someone in the family had done something wrong and the ancestors wanted to hold them accountable?

He did not dare to delay and quickly conveyed the ancestor's words to his grandson, asking his grandson to pass the message on one by one.

Gu Xingzhao originally wanted to give them a surprise, but he didn't expect it to turn out to be a fright.

When the words reached the ears of the Lu family, they all became nervous. They couldn't help but guess that the ancestor had summoned all the adults, and it must be something big!

They began to think hard whether they had said anything wrong or done anything wrong.

Could it be that the ancestor knew about their snatching of the heating pad?

Or did the ancestor find out about the secret discussion I had had about whether he was a man or a woman?

Will the ancestor bring down divine punishment in anger?

The Liu family had no idea, and seeing the Lu family getting nervous, they also got nervous.

This uneasy and nervous mood continued until nightfall. More than 30 people went into their tents one by one. Those who had something to hide volunteered to stand guard outside.

Lu Yang also wanted to wait outside. Although being favored by the ancestors was a happy thing, it was better not to be struck by lightning a second time. However,

Lu Qing ordered his men to drag his second son into the tent and keep him under strict watch. He now seriously suspected that the second son had caused some trouble, otherwise why would the ancestors specifically instruct the second son and his family to be present?

Lu Youtang looked confused, "Mother, don't I practice calligraphy tonight?"

Mrs. Xu was also nervous. She touched her daughter's head and said, "Let's not practice calligraphy tonight. Let's go to bed early."

Lu Yang's mentality was about to collapse. My dear girl, why are you still practicing calligraphy? Our family is about to face a disaster!

When Gu Xingzhao came to activate the projection function, he saw that everyone in the tent looked like they were about to die. He was confused: "???"

What's going on?

Gu Xingzhao immediately asked Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, what happened? Why do you all look so unhappy?"

Hearing the voice of his ancestors, Lu Qing did not dare to neglect it: Reply to the ancestor, everyone is waiting for you.

How could he dare to tell the truth? Could he let his ancestors know that everyone was afraid of being struck by lightning?

Gu Xingzhao then turned on the projection function in each tent and projected the current scene of the capital into the tents, wanting them to also feel the lively atmosphere of the capital.

The moment the projection was turned on, the tent in front of us disappeared, and was replaced by a sea of ​​people. Some were holding lanterns, while others were walking together. The sound of laughter filled their ears, and they were in the bustling streets.

Everyone was shocked, "!!!"

"This is... This is?"

The hearts that were still uneasy a moment ago had no time to relax before someone recognized what they saw and shouted, "It's the capital! It's the capital!"

The ancestors brought the scene of the capital to them, just like they showed them the snow on New Year's Eve last time!

Some people even saw acquaintances, "It's my cousin and his wife!"

"Look, isn't that Aunt Wei who cooks for us in the kitchen?"

Lu Qing's heart was beating very fast and his hands were shaking with excitement. His ancestors gathered everyone together because they wanted them to feel the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival with the people in the capital.

Gu Xingzhao also sat down beside them, next to the old man. Seeing everyone happy, she felt happy too.

However, this is just the beginning.

Floats from major businesses began to parade through the streets. They were extremely grand and some businesses even invited famous courtesans in the capital to perform on the floats and scatter flowers, causing a sensation among the surrounding people, who all followed the floats!

When the Xu family's float came out, Lu Youtang's eyes lit up and he was the first to exclaim, "Mom, mom! It's grandpa and grandma!"

Everyone looked at the Xu family's float. Although the style of the Xu family's float was not bad, it was far behind that of other families' floats.

But no one cares about these, all they have in their eyes are their relatives and friends far away in the capital.

When she saw her parents, she felt that they had aged a lot. Xu's eyes were sore and tears welled up in her eyes. She pulled her husband's sleeve to wipe her tears.

Lu Yang was so happy that his wife took the initiative to pull his sleeve!

He thanked his ancestors no less than a hundred times in his heart.

At this moment, Lu Qing finally understood why the old ancestor specifically asked that the second son's family be present. He couldn't help but sigh that the old ancestor treated their Lu family so well that it was hard to describe.

Suddenly, the Liu family also became excited, pointing at the person on the Xu family's float and shouting at Liu Xiangbai: "It's the young lady!"

"Look, young master! It's our young lady!"
