Chapter 1678 He eagerly carried her on his back
Lu Zhaoling and the others in the room were stunned when they heard Lü Song's words, wondering if they had misheard.
"Junior Brother Lü, what did you say? How could Senior Brother and Junior Brother be arguing?"
In their minds, Yin Yunting was a gentle and refined gentleman, and also had the demeanor of an elder brother.
Junior Brother Jin Yuan is still young and respects them all, so how could the two of them possibly start arguing?
Sun Yingying had a guess, and she asked with wide eyes, "Young Master Yin and Scholar Jin, could it be that they both want to take turns carrying Sister Zhaoling out to the wedding sedan chair?"
After hearing her words, Lü Song nodded and said, "That's right, yes."
He found it somewhat amusing, and after saying that, he added, "Senior Sister, actually, it's fine for me to carry you out."
Goodness, he wants to compete too.
Lu Zhaoling was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
“My junior brother is still young, how could he possibly carry me?”
Lu Song said, "That's what the eldest brother said just now, but the junior brother said he's been training for the past two weeks and is now quite strong. He can even carry his father on his back at home."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yingying burst into laughter again.
He actually used his dad for training at home.
"Sister Zhaoling isn't as heavy as Uncle Jin, is she?" Lin Yanran said, suppressing a laugh.
At this moment, Lu Zhaoling suddenly saw Lu Anfan's image in her mind, and she fell silent for a moment.
In Lu Zhaoling's heart, she felt that her senior brother should be sitting in the high seat and receiving tea and greetings from her.
If someone wanted to carry him out to the bridal sedan chair, Lu Anfan would be the most suitable person.
She had actually sent a letter to Lu Anfan beforehand, giving him a rough date.
However, according to Qingxiao's information, things are not very peaceful on the border recently. Although there are no large-scale external enemies, there are still quite a few bandits who occasionally disturb the people or disrupt the military camps. There are also some clandestine forces that seem to be planning an uprising. Therefore, there are still quite a few small-scale battles in their military camps. Lu Anfan probably can't leave at this time.
Lu Zhaoling had previously heard Qing Xiao say that Lu Anfan had performed meritorious service several times, but the news from the border only mentioned it briefly, without specifying what kind of merit he had performed or what rewards he had received.
Zhou Shiyue said that only those who have made great contributions will have a chance to return to the capital to receive rewards.
Therefore, Lu Anfan's failure to return to the capital likely means he didn't have such a significant contribution.
“I think I can carry Senior Sister on my back too,” Rong Jingjing said, joining in the fun.
Lu Song thought that by coming over to complain first, he could get the job done, but he didn't expect there to be a second senior sister here.
There are just too many people vying for it.
The Lu family members are also heading towards Huaiyuan.
They didn't know why, even though they were annoyed and jealous, they couldn't help but come closer to watch the whole thing.
It's like having some masochistic tendencies.
Lu Zhaohua didn't know why, but when he got nearby, he kept feeling his left eyelid twitching.
Seeing her aunt running over, she frowned and quickly went to greet her.
Auntie said she didn't want to come over. She's been doing too much work lately, doing chores in that dilapidated house every day. Now her face is wrinkled, her hands are rough, she's lost a lot of weight, and she looks completely drained.
Third Aunt rushed over and grabbed Lu Zhaohua's hand, saying nervously, "Zhaohua, I just dreamed about your younger brother."
Lu Rubao, who was standing next to her, looked at her with some surprise and asked, "What did you dream about him about?"
Third Aunt said with red eyes, "I dreamed that An Fan died on the battlefield. He died so tragically, with several spears stuck in his chest."
The blood flowed out in a gushing stream.
Lu Anfan knelt there, one hand supporting the knife, his eyes wide open, as if he were looking at her through a dream.
Lu Rubao burst out laughing.
Hearing her laugh like that, the others couldn't help but glance at her. How could she laugh after hearing such a nightmare?
However, they did not reprimand Lu Rubao.
After all, to them, Lu Anfan had betrayed their Lu family, and no one would care if he died outside.
Lu Ming felt a bit uneasy listening to this. He glared at his third aunt and asked, "Why are you bringing this up now? Are you planning to collect his corpse?"
Third Aunt murmured, "If An Fan really died on the border battlefield, shouldn't we go and bring him back? After all, if he dies in battle far from home, his soul will likely be lonely and lost, unable to find its way..."
Old Lu interrupted her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is he still a member of the Lu family? Didn't he leave the Lu family a long time ago to make his own way in the world? Since he looks down on the Lu family in its decline, he shouldn't expect us to treat him as one of our own anymore."
Lu Ming continued, "I heard he went to the border, a long and arduous journey. Do you have the money for the trip? If you're going to collect his body, then you'll have to go by yourself."
Everyone looked at the Third Aunt with indifference, and no one was moved.
Lu Anrong's mouth moved, but he ultimately didn't say anything.
Third Aunt swayed and took a step back, but Lu Zhaohua supported her.
"Auntie, this is just your dream, it's not real."
The third aunt asked her, "What if it's true? I haven't dreamed about him in the past two or three years, this is the first time."
For some reason, the third aunt felt that this was the first time in a long time that she had dreamed of her son, and that the dream might actually be real.
So she was startled awake and immediately ran out. She originally wanted to find Lu Zhaoling and ask if there was any news about Lu Anfan, because at that time Lu Anfan only recognized her as his elder sister.
However, she ran over as soon as she saw her family, only to find that no one cared whether Lu Anfan was alive or dead.
Lu Zhaohua remained silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Even if he really died at the border, that's his fate. We can't do anything about collecting his body; it's his own fault for wanting to leave."
Lu Zhaohua was actually very angry with Lu Anfan, because if Lu Anfan hadn't left back then, as a man who had practiced martial arts and had strength, he could have stayed in the capital to find work and at least brought them something back every day, and she and her aunt wouldn't have had such a hard life.
So since Lu Anfan doesn't acknowledge them, why should she care whether he lives or dies? Even if he were dead outside and his bones were eaten by wild dogs, she wouldn't even flinch.
Unbeknownst to them, a travel-worn young man was standing not far away.
He carried a satchel on his back, had a long sword at his waist, and was leading a horse, looking as if he had been traveling for a long time.
He overheard what the Lu family members were saying.
