Chapter 108: The Confucian Family in Luozhou
After a rainy day without sunlight for many days, people finally opened the door in the early hours of the morning and suddenly found the sun coming out.
People cheered for the return of the sun, bathed in the warm air, and of course they did not know about the earth-shattering event that had happened last night.
In the late autumn of the eighth year of Jian'an, the autumn rain finally stopped.
"Miss Linglu, when the prince left Canghai City, he told me that you must take care of you, I am afraid that it is slightly inappropriate for you to leave the mansion at this time. A servant girl anxiously followed behind the woman with a face that had captivated the country and the city, beads of sweat were already flowing from her forehead, and her face was at a loss.
"It's none of your business, I'm going to find him. There was a hint of heat and anxiety in Zero Lu's voice.
He didn't even have time to see himself when he returned to Canghai that day, but he didn't blame him, men always have many, many important things to do, but this time it was different, Ling Lu didn't even know if the person he cared about could come back.
Ling Lu hurriedly rushed out of the Wuhou Mansion, and the maid who was chasing after her couldn't stop her after all.
The maid who was arranged by the Wuhou Mansion next to Ling Lu hurriedly called the guard at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and asked him to immediately report to General Bi Kongqing, and took an oil-paper umbrella from the side room of the Hou Mansion, for fear that the heavy rain that had just stopped would fall again, and it didn't matter if she was drenched, and the woman who was served by herself, the woman who was most likely to become the lady of the prince in the legend, was infected with the wind and cold, even if she had a hundred lives, it would not be enough to compensate.
"Miss Linglu, the world is different when you leave Canghai City, your safety and comfort are very concerned, so I hope you can think twice before going out of the city. Bi Tianqing raised his horsewhip and ran wildly through the streets of Canghai City, and finally caught up with that beautiful figure in front of the city gate.
Today's zero dew, panting for a very ordinary silk robe, probably because of the continuous heavy rain, he felt that the weather was a little cold, so he added a cloak on his shoulders to resist the biting cold.
The woman was no longer as flamboyant as she had been in the Izumo Pavilion, without any heavy makeup, not even a piece of jewelry, but even so, when she stood there, she could still attract everyone's attention.
The blue sky was clear, blocking in front of Zero Lu, and his tone was very sincere.
But Zero Lu didn't look at him, as if he had made up his mind.
"Where can you go to find him?" Bi Kongqing couldn't resist his temperament, and compromised slightly.
"Everyone knows that he went to Xuanjian Mountain, of course I have to go to Xuanjian Mountain to find him. Zero Lu's tone was outstanding, full of irrefutable feelings.
"But do you know how far the route to Xuanjian Mountain is, by the time you get to Xuanjian Mountain, it's already winter. Bi Kongqing rolled over from the horse's back, blocking in front of Zero Lu, with no intention of letting him go.
"I've been waiting for him for too long. Zero Lu's stiff tone suddenly became cowardly, and even sobbed slowly at the end, and tears slipped down on his beautiful face, like the heavy rain of late autumn falling on his face, flowing through the warm lips and falling on the ground, mixing with the rain on the ground, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a small trace on his face.
"We've been waiting for him for a long time, and believe me, no one needs him more than Canghai City at this time. But aren't we waiting silently? Bi Kongqing grinned at the corners of his mouth, although he was extremely tired, but he still held his body and couldn't fall down, and at this time there was a brief dizziness.
And at this moment, a small novice stopped in front of the gate of Canghai City, carrying a ragged shirt on his shoulder. The man covered in blood, the man had long been unable to see clearly, but he still held a sword tightly in his hand, a sword that could prove his identity.
The little novice was extremely weak, and the man he was carrying on his shoulders still held his feet on the ground even if he folded them in half, and the little novice seemed to ignore them, dragging the scarred man all the way to the bottom of Canghai City.
The soldiers defending the city had at first prevented the novice from approaching Canghai City, but when they saw the sword, they almost shouted with joy.
As if throwing down a bag of garbage, Xiao Shami casually threw Lin Ji in the sand and muddy potholes under the city gate, waved his hand at the guards on the city wall, and said no thanks loudly, then disappeared from everyone's sight after turning around for a moment.
The shouts of excitement reached the gates from the city, into the ears of Zero Lu and Bi Tianqing, the former with a face full of joy, while the latter had an expression of finally unburdened.
Dahan, Luozhou City.
In the dark night, the two carriages drove into an inconspicuous alley, and the carriage was extravagant and wide, making the alley more and more cramped.
If someone can take a closer look, you will find that the threshold is consistent with the identity of the owner of the rank mansion, much higher than ordinary people, the rules here can not be crossed, the world's so-called door to the door and the carp jumping dragon gate is from this, and Luozhou City is the most popular in the Confucian Mansion Gate, when the mansion was built, the two gates were directly carved into the tree, and then made into the door to carry it, and then it was installed, such a giant tree, destined to be hugged by the two people, the threshold of the Confucian family is so high that many children have to climb over. Ordinary people used to have to take a detour to this street with only one mansion, and they had no way to get close to this alley, and they were even less able to go to the door of Kong's house to find out.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Empire, the Confucian family of Luozhou, one of the three major families that supported the empire's economy.
The pillars of the country, of course, deserve the majesty of this high threshold.
At the foot of the steps of the house gate stood a kind old man with snow-white eyebrows, carrying a bamboo lantern, the candlelight shook slightly, reflecting the old man's kind face shining, the age of the sixtieth birthday is considered to be a long life, and the old man is eighty years old.
Before seeing the carriage, smell the horse's hooves first.
The old man broke free slightly, and the eldest grandson who was standing behind him held his hand.
The eldest grandson sighed lightly, and his eyes looked at the end of the alley, his eyes full of awe.
The sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer, and at last the eldest grandson could even hear the wheels clattering against the ground made of stone slabs.
The old man, who had always carried the lantern, squinted his eyes and tried his best to look at the approaching carriage, and his breathing was a little shorter.
"The imperial court has not had contact with the Confucian family for several years, and although the holy grace is not tireless, I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution to continue like this. The eldest grandson leaned on the old man's ear and whispered a word, and then quietly retreated.
Existence is still the value of existence, if there is no value, there is no reason for existence, as the old man Kong Ande, who is the head of the Kong family, of course knows this truth, so he listened to the words of the eldest grandson and nodded and did not shake his head, but just smiled slightly.
The carriage finally couldn't get any closer.
Even the old man who was as dizzy as Kong Ande could see that the driver who had changed into an ordinary coachman's clothes was the Imperial Forest Army, so he smiled and bowed to the carriage that was about to stop, and slowly handed the lantern in his hand to the eldest grandson behind him.
"Grandpa Huang, it's been a long time. ”
The old man, who got out of the carriage, glanced at the young man standing behind Kong Ande with his eyes, and said with a smile: "The old master's body is still so tough, even His Majesty is envious." ”
"Huang Gonggong said with a smile, Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, which is comparable to mortals such as me. The old man moved his steps and fell behind Gonggong Huang, who entered the courtyard of Confucius Mansion under the leadership of the servants of the Confucian Mansion, and Kong Ande immediately followed, one position behind the old man, and also walked in.
"The child behind you is the next head of the Kong family?" Huang Gonggong paused as soon as he entered the mansion and said slowly.
"Exactly, Xuan'er didn't hurry up to ask Huang Gonggong. Kong Ande hurriedly took over.
"Kong Xuan has seen Gonggong Huang. "The eldest son of the Kong family is quite a scribe, and he lifted his robe and bowed to his father-in-law.
"Yes, yes, yes. Young and promising, young and promising. The father-in-law squinted his eyes and glanced back at Kong Xuanhou, and praised loudly, but there was already a bag of gold that Kong Ande had already prepared, and the father-in-law smiled even more after weighing the weight in his hand.
