Chapter 286 2 drama
After knowing this, Bai Zhaozhao originally wanted to visit Mrs. Lu, but then he heard that she went to the temple to pray, so Bai Zhaozhao thought of another way.
How can other people’s advice compare to your own investigation?
So Bai Zhaozhao asked Chunyu to find someone to perform two plays.
Five days ago, Zhong was enjoying the scenery on the back mountain of the temple. It was a rare trip out, and his mood improved a lot.
After Lu Zimo came back from his study abroad, some rumors came in, saying that Lu Zimo suspected that Wu's illness was caused by her, his stepmother. What a joke!
If she wanted Wu to die, couldn't she just send the indenture contract to the pawnbroker?
Why did you keep raising her well for so many years?
She did not like Wu's character, but she had chosen her personally and understood that Wu was saving her. She even thought about returning the indenture contract to Wu and giving her the status of a concubine out of gratitude.
But Wu refused to appreciate it and insisted on living alone, away from her mistress.
As a result, Mrs. Wu quietly gave birth to a child!
What else could she do?
Just accept your fate!
Fortunately, Mrs. Wu did not do anything extra because of the child and still lived alone in the small courtyard.
Unfortunately, as her children grew up and traveled, she herself fell ill.
Zhong hired many doctors for her, but they were all unable to help. Only one doctor's words were completely different from the others. He vowed that he could cure her disease and prescribed extremely expensive medicine.
Later, Zhong found out that this person was a quack who specialized in prescribing tonic medicine to patients with difficult and complicated diseases in order to cheat them out of their money!
At that time, Wu seemed to have known that she was doomed, so she asked to live on the farm. Later, when Prefect Lu took office in Linyang County, he wrote to Lu Zimo, asking him to come back as soon as possible to prepare for the next year's imperial examination.
Zhong naturally agreed, but who knew that he would not stop when he came back. He invited famous doctors to see him, snatched Ganoderma lucidum from others, and even coveted the county lady!
When the maid told her the news, she was quite surprised. She didn't know whether to praise him for his ambition or to ridicule him for his wishful thinking.
Who is Princess Zhaohe? She is the bridge between the Bai family and Prince An, and the partner of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is the in-law of the Zhong family's direct branch!
Her brother Bai Lin is the partner that Lord Zhong has recruited in the court!
Lu Zimo really dares to think like that!
At this time, a couple passed by not far away. It seemed that they had just finished worshipping Buddha and were going home via the path in the back mountain.
Somehow, the couple started arguing and decided not to leave.
Zhong frowned and was about to leave when she heard the man's raised voice.
"You still refuse to admit it! That's definitely not my son! He's yours and your cousin's!"
"No, no, Boss, please listen to my explanation..."
People in groups of three or four came over to join in the fun when they heard these words.
Mrs. Zhong and the maid looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The man continued, "What's there to explain? I just met a master who told me that two parents with single eyelids can never give birth to a child with double eyelids!
Look at the two of us, we both have single eyelids! Your son has double eyelids and big eyes, just like your cousin! What else do you have to say?"
The woman seemed flustered, but she still argued, "This, this can't be said casually! Who can prove that the master's words are true? People in the world have either single eyelids or double eyelids. Is it possible that your son can't have double eyelids?"
"Okay!" The man refused to give in. "Since you're not convinced, let's go find a doctor and do a blood test to prove our relationship!"
When the woman heard this, she collapsed to the ground without saying a word.
People around were talking about:
"Looking at this woman's reaction, she doesn't dare, does she?"
"Can you really tell the difference between single eyelids and double eyelids?"
"You know what, my wife and I have double eyelids, so my son and daughter both have double eyelids!"
"Oh, what a coincidence, isn't it? My husband and I both have single eyelids, and so does our son!"
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, the man asked directly: "If you admit it, we can talk about it. If you don't admit it, I will sue your cousin to the government!"
The woman had no choice but to admit it.
Her admission made people around her sigh.
Zhong was also stunned. This was actually true! Single eyelids and double eyelids could actually tell whether a child was a biological child!
But she didn't think much about it at this time. Until the crowd dispersed, she just thought it was a joke.
Two days passed.
Several students also came to the temple to play. When Zhong passed by them, she heard her son's name, so she stood quietly not far away and listened.
Student No. 1: "Lu Ziwen's articles are indeed very good. I have also had the honor of reading them. Unfortunately, I have never met him in person. I don't know what his personality is like."
Student No. 2: "Haha, if you want to meet him, I can introduce him to you."
Student No. 3: "Hey, do you think Lu Zimin will participate in the Spring Examination this year?"
Student No. 2: "Of course I will go. I heard from my teacher that with his current talent, it won't be a problem for him to pass the imperial examination!"
Student No. 1 immediately responded, "Really? Then I really need to go get to know him!"
Zhong felt a little proud when she heard their compliments.
At this time, Student No. 4 interrupted their conversation: "Did you know that he has a half-brother?"
Student No. 2: "I know, but he doesn't like to mention this half-brother. I've never seen him. So, do you know him?"
Student No. 4 seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was considering something.
Student No. 3 was anxious: "What do you want to say? There are no outsiders here."
Outsider Zhong: …
She was also a little curious. Could it be that Student No. 4 knew something related to Lu Zimo?
Student No. 4 no longer hesitated and said directly: "It's normal that we don't know each other, because the Lu family has only been in Linyang County for a short time, and Lu Zimo is studying abroad.
He just came back a while ago and went to visit several great scholars in preparation for the next spring imperial examination. I happened to go to the home of that great scholar with my teacher, so we met each other. "
Student 3: "Oh, if you've seen it before, just add it. What's so special about it?"
Student No. 4 paused, his expression becoming serious: "My teacher said that Lu Zimo has the talent of a top scholar!"
Several students were shocked and remained silent for a long time.
Mrs. Zhong was also shocked: Lu Zimo was so good at studying! She really didn't pay much attention to him, or it could be said that Governor Lu and his family would deliberately not mention Lu Zimo in front of her.
Before he went out to study, he was as transparent as Mrs. Wu. Only during the holidays would Lu Zimo return home for two days.
At this time, Student No. 1 asked, "Then, should we go make some friends?"
Student No. 4 hesitated and said, "It should be possible, but I don't know if Lu Ziwen will be angry."
Student No. 2 didn't care much: "Hey, why would he be angry? After all, we are brothers. We will be officials together in the future. We won't really be against each other!"
Student No. 3 agreed, "Yes, let's go meet this Lu Zimo and see what the difference is between him and Lu Ziwen."
Student No. 4 also laughed and said, "If you want to say they are different, then it's really that except for the appearance, everything is different! When I saw him, I almost recognized the wrong person!"
Student No. 3 quickly asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Student No. 4 continued, "I almost mistook him for Lu Ziwen! They both have double eyelids, big eyes, and long eyelashes. People who know him would say he is his half-brother, while those who don't would think he is his biological brother!"
Zhong: !!!
Her whole body trembled, and it seemed as if a flash of inspiration passed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it!
