Chapter Ninety-Eight: Avoidance

Just when the prince of Runan and the others were in a hurry, his convoy entourage also slowly approached.

When Gu Cheng's carriage appeared in front of everyone, they were stunned at first, and when they looked at it, the prince of Runan walked to Gu Cheng's side and introduced to everyone in a proud and respectful tone: "Gentlemen, this is Gu Jialangjun, whose name is Cheng Cheng, and his words are respectful, and he is the second son of Gu Sima and Gu Gong. ”

Almost as soon as the voice of the prince of Runan fell, several Confucian students in the crowd took the lead in walking out, they looked at Gu Cheng deeply, and said at the same time very respectfully and politely: "I have heard the name of Gu Er in Luoyang for a long time, and it is an honor to see him today." ”

These Confucian students, all from Qingshan Academy, are well-known talents in Runan, and they are the most unconvincing. To say that Chang Feng and other Confucian scholars who were called through Liu Jing's hand last time, the sum of hundreds is not as great as the influence of these four people.

Thinking of these four people, when they saw Deng Jiulang, they were neither humble nor arrogant, but when they faced Gu Cheng at this moment, their eyes were shining and their words were excited.

When Gu Cheng returned the salute, the four of them had already surrounded him in the middle. Accompanied by him, a Confucian student sighed lightly: "The last time I had to read Gu Erlang's "Huadu Fu", it was really thunderous, and my eldest brother was not convinced, but when he talked about you, Brother Gu, he admired it so much. Another Confucian student said excitedly: "Brother Gu came to Runan, why didn't he make a prophet?" If you come, I'm afraid that our Qingshan Academy will come out. "Gu Sima is a man of upright character, and he is the pillar of my Han literati, and my younger brother has long admired him." "I have to see Luoyang Gu Er today, I really didn't run in vain."

A few Confucian scholars just surrounded the officials. Five or six people also came out, these five or six officials. They are all famous officials who are about thirty or forty years old and have a particularly upright official reputation. See them coming. Whether it was a Confucian scholar or Gu Cheng, they all turned around and greeted respectfully.

When Deng Jiulang came to Runan for a long time, these officials almost never showed up, even if they met, they never stepped forward to make a noise, but when they saw Gu Cheng, they all smiled extremely gently and friendly, "How is Lord Sima?" Lao Jun asked. My father was very good. "Last time, I heard that Erlang was about to arrive in Runan, and the old man had already started to prepare, how about going to live in my house later?" "Elder Lao asked, dare to obey his fate?"

Since these people were in the middle, they surrounded Gu Cheng in the middle, and their words were elegant and warm, with reserve, and they were not as flattering and vulgar as the officials who had just surrounded the prince of Runan. But this kind of self-contained nobility, the arrogance that unconsciously excludes everyone, shows the strength of this largest and most appealing literati group today.

Officials like Liu Xingfeng stood far away. is that there is no approach, that is, from the words and eyes of these Confucian scholars, we see rejection and disdain...... However, they did not dare to be disrespectful to them in the slightest.

This is the largest and most appealing Confucian collective in the world. I want Deng Jiulang to make some calculations through Wu Jun in order to get some goodwill from this group. And looking at this situation now, Gu Cheng's father, Gu Sima, is clearly one of the leaders of this group!

The prince of Runan, who was left out in the cold. At first, his face showed indignation, and then he saw the nervous expressions of the two younger brothers. The expression on his face turned to smugness. He waved at everyone and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, gentlemen. It's getting late, let's go. ”

The crowd was originally coming to greet him, but as soon as he spoke, the officials were busy responding. So, one after another, the carriages came, and everyone turned around and got into their own carriages.

At this moment, Deng Jiulang's beautiful and deep voice came, "Liu Wenjing, come here-"

As soon as his voice came out, there was silence at first, and unconsciously, most of his eyes fell on Liu Jing's body.

Liu Jing's face was flushed, she didn't dare to look back, she didn't dare to meet the gaze of those Confucian scholars.

Just when she pursed her lips and blushed without saying a word, Deng Jiulang lifted the curtain and stared at her again deeply. He stared at her, slowing his voice and speaking very softly, "What are you doing?" Come here! ”

Liu Jing lowered her eyes, she took a deep breath, let herself behave as calmly as possible, and walked towards Deng Jiulang.

She climbed into his carriage.

From beginning to end, she didn't look back at Gu Cheng.

After getting into the carriage, Liu Jing pulled the curtain of the car, turned her eyes and looked at Deng Jiulang with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "You, why are you calling me in front of so many people?" She blushed and was extremely embarrassed, "You are like this, why do you save my face?" ”

Holding a book in his hand, Deng Jiulang, who was lazily watching, slowly closed the scroll. He looked up at Liu Jing, pulled his lips, and said with a smile: "Liu's aunt, do you really regard yourself as a husband?" What face do you want? The clear name of Confucianism, or the reputation of the first beautiful man in Runan? Or, the name of Gu Cheng's fiancΓ©e? He picked up the wine cup, put it in the palm of his hand, and after making it turn around a few times, he said coldly, "It seems that you still don't understand." Liu Wenjing, from the moment you and I met again in Runan, you should know that I didn't come unprepared. And you, don't try to repeat the same old tricks. After a pause, he said lightly: "Remember, this time I will take you to Luoyang." ”

Liu Jing was stunned.

Listening to the Confucian indifference, the officials whispered, and Liu Jing, who didn't know what to say, her face turned blue and red for a while, and then she said sullenly: "You, people outside are talking about family and country affairs, and you are biased in the love of children and daughters. "How nice it would be if he joined those people's chatter? But he paid no attention to anyone, and just as he was about to leave, he forcibly called her back to his carriage. When people from all walks of life gathered, she was given a reputation of 'just beautiful, Deng Jiu's pet'.

Hearing Liu Jing's accusation, Deng Jiulang said lazily and indifferently: "I don't care about what they are pursuing." He added lightly, "The power struggle in the small Runan is worth my Deng Jiulang's concern?" Didn't I tell you? I'm only here for you? ”

Hearing his words that couldn't be more straightforward, Liu Jing opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak for a while.

She wanted to say, I still care about what you disdain, and I want to say, how can you do this, on impulse, and cut off my way.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't say anything, not only could she not speak, but she found that she had to share part of her energy to resist the erosion of her own by the sweet words he blurted out.

The convoy drove mightily towards the city of Runan.

After entering the city gate, the Runan people, who felt that this team was particularly different, all quieted down. They retreated to the side of the street, staring intently at the carriages of the people, and faintly, there was a faint sound of envy and jealousy.

Liu Jing didn't dare to stick her head out.

She felt that it was really disrespectful to Gu Cheng to get so close to Deng Jiulang and get into Deng Jiulang's carriage in front of him on the premise that she had not broken the marriage contract with Gu Cheng. But she had no choice, she could only be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Because of this guilt and faint irritability, when the carriage drove near the yamen, Liu Jing and Deng Jiulang talked nonsense, and without waiting for his consent, they took the opportunity to jump out of the carriage and fled into the crowd.

She lowered her head and returned to Liufu sullenly.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the gate of Liufu, the maidservant girl came to tell her that Liu's father was in the study and asked her to see him.

Rao is such a fine day, and there is still a charcoal fire burning in Liu's father's room. After seeing Liu Jing come in, he just lowered his head and slowly tasted the wine.

Zhiludao's father was angry, Liu Jing knelt down on the couch opposite him, and after retelling the events of the past two days in a low voice, he smiled bitterly: "Father, I can't do it either." When he asked me to get into the carriage, I was only thinking about settling the matter of the third uncle's allegiance form, and I didn't expect that things would get out of control. In one day, let all Runan people know that she Liu Wenjing is Deng Jiulang's favorite person.

In a blink of an eye, she whispered again: "Deng Jiulang said that he wanted to bring me back to Luoyang this time." He was very sure, I was afraid that it was not a lie. ”

Father Liu looked at his daughter, and after listening to his daughter's words, he also understood that it was not his daughter who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, but she had to get close to that Deng Jiulang, let alone that she was close to other men on the premise of knowing that she had a marriage contract, and fell into the face of her fiancΓ©.

It's just that......

He smiled bitterly for a while, and said worriedly: "Jing'er, this time I pulled down my old face for my father, and sent a letter to the Gu Mansion, just to save this marriage." It's good now, make such a song for Deng Jiulang in public, Gu Cheng is also a man, where will he be willing to accept you again? ”

He was really annoyed, stood up quickly, and after turning around the room twice, he stopped and looked back at Liu Jing and said, "No matter what, my aunt can't be a concubine...... Jing'er, you have always been smart, is there a solution to your current situation? ”

Liu Jing lowered her eyes.

After thinking for a while, she said in a low voice: "After my daughter came to Runan from Wu County, she never thought that she would meet Deng Jiulang again...... He caught me off guard! "Since Deng Jiulang arrived in Runan, one move after another, they are both strong and decisive, she lost the opportunity, had to retreat step by step, retreat to the present, even the hair is engraved with the words 'Deng Jiulang all', there is almost no way back.

After thinking for a while, Liu Jing looked up at her father and said in a clear voice, "Father, my daughter wants to leave Runan temporarily. She said seriously: "There are clouds in the art of war, and when you are helpless, it is better to avoid it." The daughter can temporarily leave Runan for a period of time in the name of welcoming several uncles into Yuzhou. The more she said, the more she felt that this method was the best way in the current situation, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, with a little excitement in her tone, "As soon as the prince of Runan comes, the battle for the throne of Runan will become white-hot. At this time, Runan is already a land of right and wrong, and her daughter is in it, afraid of easy trouble. The daughter thought that when the prince of Runan sent the allegiance form of the third uncle, the daughter would leave this place immediately, and after a month and a half and a month, she would think of a countermeasure and come back not too late. ”

In terms of ideas, Father Liu is not as much as Liu Jing, after hearing her words, Father Liu thought about it again and again, and sighed after the end: "It can only be like this." ”
