Chapter 236: Cousin
Chen Rongfeng's order came down quickly, and he sent a set of calligraphy he made to Wen Lexi, and said to Wen Lexi: "You can transfer it to Miss Lu for me."
After a pause, Chen Rongfeng said again, "You don't have to say that I gave it, just say that it was obtained by accident outside." If Miss Lu likes it, she can practice it, and her handwriting can be improved. If you don't like it, it's okay to lose it. ”
Wen Lexi flipped it open and found that it was similar to Lu Luo's font. Chen Rongfeng created an alternative style of Lu Luo's distorted and untidy font, and adjusted many strokes in unison.
As long as Lu Luo pays a little attention to it, he can write beautifully and personally, which is very pleasing.
Wen Lexi pondered for a moment and sighed softly: "I also guessed first, you may have this thought, but it is true."
"I'm just wishful thinking, and I don't intend to ruin someone's marriage." Chen Rongfeng smiled bitterly, "I'm leaving, and I don't know if I'll see you in the future." I hesitated to take it out, I didn't lose my virtue, and it was not a big mistake to give it to Miss Lu, so I decided to confess to you. ”
Chen Rongfeng told Wen Lexi, but he hoped that Wen Lexi would hide it from Lu Luo.
Wen Lexi is very important to Chen Rongfeng.
But Lu Luo had already promised to marry the Yan family, and Yan Xun was more suitable for Lu Luo, so Wen Lexi put this note away, and he knew in his heart that he did not give it to Lu Luo.
Some thoughts should not be there, so they should be cut off as soon as possible.
Wen Lexi hopes that Chen Rongfeng will go to Jiangnan and release a bit of the poet's merry nature, and leave this little love behind.
Chen Rongfeng never revealed half a point in front of Lu Luo, and Wen Lexi didn't plan to say it. Lu Luo didn't know.
In the capital in February, the spring breeze begins to occur, and the tender willows are at the beginning. The treetops in the distance are either pale green, or goose yellow, tender like a veil lightly wrapped, although it is still expected to be cold in spring, but there is a hope for spring.
Lu Luo likes spring very much, and the warm weather can stretch his hands and feet.
There is a flower festival in this dynasty.
The Flower Dynasty Festival, as the name suggests, is to enjoy the flowers. Because of the different climates, the time of the flower festival varies from place to place. The Flower Dynasty Festival in Huzhou Prefecture is February 12. The Flower Dynasty Festival in the capital is February 15.
Yan Xun agreed early in the morning. The Flower Dynasty Festival should take special leave, and take Lu Luo and Yun Yun out to enjoy flowers and ride horses.
It doesn't matter if you enjoy the flowers, Lu Luo and Yun Yun really want to go horseback riding.
As a result, on this day, guests came to Lu Luo's house.
"The second young master has arrived." Lu Luo changed into a simple riding outfit. When you're ready to go out. The maid came in and said.
Lu Luo and Wen were both taken aback.
Lu Erlang of the old mansion in Huzhou Mansion. is the brother of Lu Fu, who entered the palace as a female history. During the Chinese New Year, Wen received a letter from his second aunt, saying that Erlang had won the lift. has already left for Beijing to catch the exam, and asked Wen to help arrange Erlang's food and accommodation.
However, today is February 15th, the last game of the Spring Festival is over, and there is no trace of Lu Erlang, Wen and Lu Luo are both worried and helpless, and they don't know where Lu Erlang went.
Unexpectedly, he entered Beijing today.
"Please come in, let him go directly into the inner courtyard, his own nephew." Wen said.
The maid Yujie personally went to greet Lu Erlang.
Lu Erlang was quite embarrassed, he was wearing a dirty old cotton jacket full of patches, his hair was tied with straw rope, it was messy and dry, and his face was thin and yellow.
"Second brother, you are" Lu Luo was in the courtyard, and he was startled when he saw Lu Erlang like this.
Lu Erlang and Lu Fu are brother and sister, and they are both children in the second room of the old mansion in Huzhou Mansion.
The second aunt's family is a wealthy businessman in Suzhou, and the entire Lu family is rich in the second room. Lu Fu and Lu Erlang love poverty and exquisiteness, are arrogant and lascivious, and live extravagantly.
Suddenly, Lu Erlang was dressed as a beggar, and Lu Luo thought that this was a big change.
It is very likely that it was robbed by bandits.
"Sister Luo, fourth aunt." Lu Erlang gave Wen and Lu Luo a salute, ignoring Lu Luo and Wen's dumbfounding, he said in a hurry, "I'm so hungry!" ”
Seeing him like this, Wen didn't care about any etiquette, and hurriedly sent him to eat and drink.
Lu Erlang was hungry, and a bowl of hot japonica rice was served, and he pulled it out after dividing it by two in three times; A bowl of stewed chicken soup with winter bamboo shoots next to him, he also drank it all with a gulp.
The maids hurriedly added food to him.
He ate four bowls before he could fill his stomach, and finally put down the bowl and had the strength to talk to Lu Luo and Wen.
"Is this a robber?" Wen asked.
Lu Erlang nodded. He sighed and said, "It's all my fault." Our boat passed through Hangzhou, and I stopped for two days to meet an old friend. The track was a bit extravagant, so he was targeted, and followed us all the way north.
I thought the world was peaceful, and I only brought four servants, but I brought eight serving maids. As soon as the water bandits came, these maids couldn't stand up to anything. I was arrested by them for half a month, and I was afraid that I would recruit everything. They knew that my grandfather's family was rich and were ready to take me back to Suzhou to blackmail.
I opened the rope at night, jumped into the river and escaped, and was picked up by a boat that was carrying New Year's goods to Jeju. Along the way, I only said that I was from the capital and accidentally fell into the water.
To put it mildly, they made me a boatman on the boat, helped with rowing, and brought me to Jeju. After arriving in Jeju, I sold a piece of jade pendant for 12 taels of silver, bought a torn cotton jacket, hired an ox cart and walked for nearly a month, and then arrived in the capital. ”
Lu Luo and Wen Shi listened and looked at each other.
"It's too dangerous, you've managed to save your life." Wen sighed, "Why don't you go back to Huzhou directly, and go to Beijing like this?" ”
"Fourth aunt, look at what you said, I was picked up by someone's boat at that time, and the boat was originally going north. Can I say that my family is rich, and you will turn around and send me back to Huzhou Mansion? Lu Erlang smiled bitterly, "Then I guess I was tied up and went back." ”
After suffering so much, Lu Erlang, who has never put safety in his heart, no longer dares to show half of his financial resources, pretends to be a grandson in a low-key manner, works as a coolie, and has to go to Beijing in life and death.
Moreover, halfway through the robbery, he was closer to the capital, and it was easier to get to the capital.
His sister and uncle are both in the capital, and they also have to rely on, as long as they can enter the city.
Finally, he touched the Lu family.
Fortunately, the gate was full of people brought by the Wen family from Huzhou Mansion and knew Lu Erlang, otherwise the Lu family's little servant would have blasted him away.
"The second brother will not die in a big disaster, and there will be a blessing in the future." Lu Luo said, "I missed the spring festival this time, and I will definitely be able to win the championship in three years." ”
Lu Erlang smiled and said, "Sister Luo will comfort people now." ”
He was full, and he asked clearly, Wen asked the maid Yujie to prepare hot water, and sent Chundie out to buy two sets of ready-made clothes and a padded jacket, and changed them for Lu Erlang first.
For the rest, we will buy it slowly.
Yan Xun waited for a long time, but he didn't see Lu Luo at the agreed city gate, worried that something would happen to Lu Luo, so he led Lu Luo to Lu's house.
Then the siblings saw a beggar sitting in the east room drinking tea.
