Chapter 134: Fairness
The Keju competition was presided over by Mrs. Lu herself.
It is the first time that Mrs. Lu can be invited to preside over the competition, and there have been such activities in previous years, and Mrs. Lu will at most show up and will not participate in it.
Lu Shuyi heard Su Liangyu say: "I heard that it was my grandfather who my eldest cousin-in-law personally invited. β
No wonder, his grandson-in-law has to give two points of thin noodles, not to mention that now Qian Wenchang is pestering the second master Lu to talk about cooperating with Yanjing.
A few gongs and drums, the two teams of people stood in the middle of the field, sassy men, all of them with extraordinary appearance and outstanding temperament, which really made a group of women feast their eyes and cheer endlessly.
Old lady Lu stood on the high platform on the east side, wearing a russet cotton robe, covered with a crow-blue eversion wool silk vest, looking energetic step by step, and his eyes were very sophisticated.
His voice was extremely loud, and as soon as he spoke, the original chaotic sound around him suddenly drifted away like smoke, and everyone present was silent, pricking up their ears to listen.
After a few polite words, the game officially began.
Lu Shujing and Su Liangyu were obviously very interested, and the two of them looked at the changes on the field with wide eyes.
Lu Shuyi also glanced at it a few times, He Tai bore the brunt of it, and rushed forward with a juju after five levels and six generals, this game was like a venue for him alone.
"Hey...... Cousin Tai is also too strong. Lu Shujing's expression darkened, and she pouted: "It's not fair, he is the third son of Yizhou, and he shouldn't be asked in the competition." β
Su Liangyu pursed his lips and smiled: "Do you still want to restrict him from competing?" β
"Sister, are you saying it's unfair?" Lu Shuyi turned her eyes to look at Lu Shuyi again, and said unevenly: "He is on the field, and no one else can touch Keju." β
Lu Shuyi smiled slightly, and only said: "You are also messing around, there are many injustices in the world." Furthermore, if your skills are not as good as others, you should study hard, and what if you lose? It's just a game, and it's not a gamble on your life, so why bother. β
"Huh...... This is quite convincing. I don't know when He Zhao'er suddenly walked over from the right side, and there was still that kind of unbeatable smile on her face.
Lu Shuyi didn't speak, just turned around and watched the game, as if she hadn't heard it.
It is not beneficial to talk too much with such people, it is just a waste of words.
He Zhao'er's laughing voice was very flamboyant, and she pulled Lu Shuqi sideways and sat them together.
The three girls had bright eyes and bright teeth, and their eyes were focused on the people who were playing on the field, each with their own hearts.
After a while, Pan'er suddenly whispered in her ear: "Li Ping'an said to let you go over, and he said that he had something to say to you." β
Lu Shuyi was stunned, isn't it Huo Tianyou's letter?
Looking around left and right, seeing that everyone was watching the game and didn't pay attention to her, she got up and said to Lu Shujing and them, "I'll go change ...... clothes."
On the one hand, he followed Pan'er to a clearing on the east side of the greenhouse, which was concave, and there was a slope to block the view.
Li Ping'an waited at the foot of the mountain pass.
Lu Shuyi hurriedly asked Dongmei and Moju to look at the wind, and she and Pan'er quietly walked over.
Li Ping'an saw that it was Lu Shuyi, and immediately bent his knees: "Hello Third Miss." β
Lu Shuyi chuckled: "You are Huo Ergongzi's person, how can I let you salute?" β
Li Ping'an immediately blushed: "You won't ...... You don't blame me, do you? β
Pan'er also lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.
A good servant does not serve the second master, he is obviously a member of the Lu family, but he does things for the second son of the Huo family, and it does seem disloyal when he says it.
However, following Huo Tianyou is obviously better than following the Lu family, and there will be more opportunities in the future.
She smiled and said, "That's it, good birds choose trees to perch, you did the right thing." β
Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Pan'er always said that you are generous, I thought she lied to me, it seems that this is the case." β
Pan'er's face became redder.
Lu Shuyi looked at Pan'er with a smile, and whispered to Li Ping'an: "But I can tell you, generosity does not mean connivance, if you are sorry for Pan'er in the future, I will not spare you." β
Li Ping'an scratched his head with a smile, his face was slightly red, he glanced at Pan'er, and whispered: "Third Miss, don't worry, if there is a bowl of rice, I will definitely give it to Pan'er." β
Pan'er's face was flushed with shame: "Don't talk nonsense......"
"I'm telling the truth......"
"Okay, do you have something important to do with me?" Lu Shuyi hurriedly interrupted Li Ping'an's words, and said cautiously: "I can't stay here for too long, if someone sees it, it won't be good for us." β
Li Ping'an also grimaced, and immediately took out a letter from his chest, handed it to Lu Shuyi, and said, "This is from Jizhou yesterday, and it is a letter from the second son. β
Lu Shuyi hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, and the envelope was blank as before, and it was not written to anyone.
When I opened it, it was Huo Tianyou's chic and uninhibited font, and it was written, "Beware of Pan and Qian, remember, don't act recklessly." Finally, two lines of small words were attached, "When the peach blossoms bloom in the garden, the old people will come to the green." β
Lu Shuyi frowned slightly.
A garden full of peach blossoms?
The peach blossoms bloom most gorgeously in spring and April in March and April, does he want to come to Changle Town at that time?
I also think that the word old man seems to have a deep meaning......
Li Ping'an saw that she had finished reading the letter, and then he slowly said loudly: "The second prince has gone out with the Dingbei Hou army to Yanmen Pass today......
"What?" Lu Shuyi was taken aback, looked Li Ping'an up and down, and asked, "You mean...... Huo Ergongzi went on an expedition? β
Li Ping'an was taken aback by Lu Shuyi's reaction, and said blankly: "Yes, I set off on the fifth watch today." β
Lu Shuyi clenched the letter in her hand, her brows furrowed tightly.
As far as she knows, in her previous life, Dingbei Hou went out to fight against Liao, and it was clearly Huo Tiankang, the son of Dingbei Hou, how could it be Huo Tianyou?
Moreover, in the previous life, the Huo family had a meritorious service in resisting Liao, and after retiring from Liao, in order to win over the Huo family, Empress Dowager He also married her niece to Huo Tiankang, who was injured due to the resistance to Liao.
How could it be Huo Tianyou?
Lu Shuyi looked Li Ping'an up and down, and asked again: "Is it really the second son?" β
Li Ping'an also seemed to understand what Lu Shuyi meant, he coughed lightly and sighed: "The expedition was supposed to be the son of the family who went with the army, but the son of the Huo family had a leg disease, so ...... So the second son went out on behalf of him. β
"On behalf of you?" Lu Shuyi's eyes moved slightly, focusing on these four words, and asked again: "Whose credit is for the expedition?" β
The home of meritorious service, especially military merit.
Lu Shuyi knows what military merit means to a young man, and countless awards are all because he has established military merit for the country.
In his previous life, Huo Tiankang was able to get married by the Queen Mother, firstly because he wanted to win over the Huo family to support the He regime, and secondly, because Huo Tiankang had meritorious service in killing the enemy and had several military exploits.
In her previous life, Lu Shuyi heard outside that Huo Tiankang was so powerful at killing the enemy, and she had never heard a word about Huo Tianyou's bravery and good fighting.
Li Ping'an lowered his eyes and was silent, and his expression became darker.
Lu Shuyi sighed, her heart was filled with injustice, and her tone unconsciously aggravated a little: "Could it be ...... Huo Ergongzi set out in the name of his brother? If he makes military achievements in the future, he will also belong to Huo Tiankang, the current son of Dingbei, right? β
Pan'er was indignant when she heard this, and immediately interjected: "How can there be such a reason? How dangerous it is to go into battle and kill the enemy, maybe you will lose your life one day. How can the credit for the exchange of life be counted on others? He pouted and said, "Even if it's my own brother, it's not good." β
At this time, Li Ping'an also slowly spoke: "The second prince Huo doesn't plan to sue you for the merit, but your guess is right, it is indeed the second prince who went out to fight in the name of the prince, and the real prince is recuperating in the Hou Mansion." β
"How can it be justified, how can it be justified." Pan'er was so angry that she almost jumped to her feet: "There is such a father in the world, whoever belongs to whom, why hide it?" Think about it carefully, Huo Ergongzi is really pitiful, what about his own brother? Brothers can't be robbers. β
Lu Shuyi stood silent, as far as her eyes could see, she seemed to see Huo Tianyou peeling chestnut shells for her with a smile, and said to her with a smile, "There are many unsatisfactory things in life, how can there be so much fairness?" β
When he said this, she also mocked him in her heart, feeling that a pampered person like him must be calling for wind and rain, doing whatever he wants, and it must be impossible for him to experience unfair things, so he will not understand the true meaning of the word 'fair'. But now it seems that he himself is experiencing the most unfair thing in his life.
Thinking about his previous life, it is no wonder that Huo Er Gongzi, who heard it outside, seems to have nothing to say about him except for his outstanding talent and appearance.
Even Mr. Bai has never mentioned a person who is obviously not valued by Dingbei Hou.
The son who is not valued by Dingbei Hou, the ending is obvious......
Lu Shuyi sighed deeply, and said to Li Ping'an for a long time: "I know, I will not be humane to outsiders in this matter." β
Pan'er also hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have a strict mouth and won't say it to the public." β
Li Ping'an nodded, and said: "The second prince asked me to tell you that you are afraid that you will not be able to see Mr. Bai during the time he is on the expedition, and Mr. Bai will follow him." When he returns, I will arrange for you to meet Mr. Bai. β
At this time, he still wanted her to meet with Mr. Bai......
Lu Shuyi felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, nodded slightly, pursed her lips and said, "If you can bring a word, then you can help me bring a word, and let him ...... Let him return safely. β
Li Ping'an nodded silently, and said again at the end: "If you use people, just tell SΓΉ Pan'er, there are a lot of people arranged by the second son outside, and they are all very effective." β
Lu Shuyi said "um" and put the letter away.
Over there, Mo Ju walked over quickly and urged: "The game is almost over, let's hurry up." β
Lu Shuyi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reorganized the corners of her clothes and returned the same way.
When she sat back in her seat, fortunately, He Zhao'er and the others were all on the court, and no one noticed her abnormality.
Only Lu Shujing asked, "Why has my sister been gone for so long?" β
Lu Shuyi whispered: "Xu ate too much in the morning, and my stomach was a little uncomfortable." β
Lu Shujing let out an "oh" and stopped asking.
Lu Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, asked Mo Ju to pour a cup of hot tea over, and drank two sips of hot tea before her mood gradually calmed down. R1152
