Chapter 15: Prayers
Qinghe Hou Lulun, after the family of Lanling, the capital of Qingzhou, refined the etiquette and music, and learned the origins of the family. Although His Majesty has intended to reduce the power www.biquge.info of the meritorious marquis in recent years, Lu Lun's due favor has not diminished a little. The eldest son, Lu Junrui, is the blessing of his father-in-law Fang Min, who is in charge of the ceremonies of the temple, and is the head of Jiuqing. The second son, Lu Junyuan, served as an official in the court and served as a pawn to hear foreign affairs and ethnic affairs.
Only the youngest son Lu Junyi, who does not like court affairs and is intoxicated with music, has the demeanor of the Marquis of Qinghe, and the six characters of "the song is wrong, Lu Langgu" promised by Queen Fang are famous far and wide, and because he has made friends with celebrities, he is also good friends with Chengjiang Wang Gao Zhan, and he is also quite popular in Beijing.
Lu Junyi often goes to banquets, but he is quite protective of his residence, and rarely comes to the door on weekdays. But every six months, in the name of enjoying ancient songs, he would summon the gentlemen of the city to come and meet. His invitation is also known as Guangling post, named after the remnant score "Guangling San" that he has been asking for, and there are very few people who can worship the post, so the news has just been released, and everyone in Beijing is already known.
It was a sunny day, with a slight cold wind blowing on the face, and it was a winter scene. Lu Junyi's mansion is located in a long alley in the west of the city, and the roads on both sides are lined with fallen trees, and from its thick branches, you can get a glimpse of the scene of leafy and shady doors.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the mansion, he heard Lu Junyi's hearty conversation and laughter outside the curtain. Mu Lixuan got off the horse first and stood in front of the door to talk to him very happily.
Both of them are eight-foot-tall men with eyebrows, one in a golden robe and the other in a blue robe. If it is in the middle of the city, it should make pedestrians look sideways. After a long absence, standing in front of this clean house, their answer was a little more close.
"Thank you, Brother Lu, for the invitation! These days, because of the sister's recruitment, there is an endless stream of people who come to visit. Mu Lixuan turned sideways and motioned for Lian'er to step forward, but the smiling gaze was lightly on Zige's face, "Thanks to you, our brother and sister have been stealing half a day." ”
The word 'you' clearly refers to Lu Junyi, who posted at the party, but secretly it is a sub-song that ridicules the herald in the middle. After she said that she had moved Lian'er that day, she rushed into Mu Lixuan's room and wanted to invite him to the banquet with her, but accidentally bumped into Mu Lixuan, who had just finished bathing. But he didn't let her leave, sat on the couch and wiped his wet hair for a long time, listening to her stumble and finish speaking, Fang waved his hand and let him go, and when Zige left with a flushed face, he was annoyed by his momentary recklessness.
Zige lowered his head and stood silently behind Lian'er, looking at his nose and nose, deliberately ignoring his narrow smile, but his face turned red unnaturally.
"The words 'floating life and half a day' are really wonderful, if it is a wine order today, I will borrow it." Lu Junyi waved a fan in one hand, saluted Lian'er gracefully, and said with a smile on his lips, "The county lord is here, and the guests in Junyi's mansion are afraid that all of them will be dumped for you, and tomorrow's recruitment deadline will surely have many more familiar faces." ”
"Lu Gongzi laughed, Lian'er is vulgar, how can the princes and princes look at it?" Lian'er said a little stiffly, returning the courtesy, but there was not much smile on her face, presumably because of his words and Liu Yuzhang, who had not appeared in the recruitment for a long time, was worried.
"No, no, no. If it weren't for Junyi's countless beauties who loved him in Beijing, he would definitely go to the recruiting party to try his skills! ”
Seeing her worried, Lu Junyi pretended to exaggerate, and then deliberately talked about what he had seen and heard when he went to the recruitment party. He was sharp and witty, and Lian'er gradually smiled on her face.
Several people entered the house with a smile and a smile. The courtyard is deep and wide, the scenery is excellent, and when you pass a gazebo, you see a zigzag ditch underground, which is not more than a few fingers wide, and there is clear water gurgling through. When Lian'er saw it, she couldn't help but look surprised.
"You Qi people are really stingy, how can you dig a ditch in the house and only dig so much......" She spoke quickly for a while, and after finishing speaking, she felt that she had forgotten to answer in Yayan, and covered up lamely, "You wait for the residence...... Quite tasteful......"
The other three couldn't help but laugh when they heard her nondescript words, and Lian'er smiled embarrassedly when she saw this.
"Even if he is outside the palace, the county lord does not have to be polite, and Junyi has always been open-mouthed in his own house." Lu Junyi pointed to the ditch with a fan and explained, "This is a flowing water, which is used for amusement during the spring feast, one person puts a cup full of wine on the upper stream, so that it flows downstream, and the wine glass stops in front of someone, that is, he takes it and drinks it, and then he is slightly drunk or howling or aiding Han, and makes a poem, otherwise he will be punished." ”
Zige saw this arrangement, but he had already shown a knowing smile. Lu Junyi is good at music and drinking, and he must be the best at these games of throwing pots and wine, and there are many people at today's banquet, so he must inevitably have to play again.
Seeing that Lu Junyi was accommodating like this, Mu Lixuan had no intention of reproaching, so she simply abandoned Yayan, and her voice became more and more crisp and bright: "It's so unfair!" If we were to fight against you people, wouldn't my brother and I lose? ”
"It's a guest from afar, Junyi doesn't dare to ask for a verbal bargain, and the games he chooses today are all concise and easy-to-understand. If the county lord is not satisfied, Jun Yi should punish himself with three cups to make amends. Lu Junyi arched his hand and smiled, "In March next year, if the two of you are interested, I can set up another feast." It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid that the county lord will be accompanied by his husband? ”
He said casually, but Lian'er's cheeks turned red and she stopped talking.
When they came to the main house, Lu Junyi waved his hand lightly, and someone opened the door and led them in. The decoration in the house is elegant, although the utensils are not luxurious, but they all seem to be from the handwriting of famous artists, there is a picture of a lady in front of the hall, the woman looks back with flowers, and the smile is gentle and graceful.
Zige was so absorbed that he didn't notice that Lu Junyi had settled the two of them and came to her side.
"It was a small portrait of my mother when she was young, and I asked to hang it in the house." His gaze paused on the painting for a moment, and then turned to Zi Ge, with a bit of approval in his eyes, "You are dressed like this today, you look much better than usual." ”
In order to facilitate the touching of the piano today, Zige did not wear the white clothes of the Mu family's servants, but deliberately chose a moon-white plum blossom pattern gauze robe, and a pale pink cloak was draped outside, which was beautiful and lovely, which was both appropriate for the situation and the occasion.
"Lu Gongzi has won the award...... As soon as her words came out, she saw Lu Junyi's face showing reproach, and changed her words with a smile, "If you want to play the piano for Lu Lang Junyi, how dare I not bathe and change clothes and dress up?" ”
As soon as her words fell, she heard a hoarse voice behind her: "Lu Lang Junyi? I thought I was in the wrong place......"
