Lu Wuji is handsome and talented, but he can't avoid his embarrassing status as a concubine.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to live with his slaves and maids in the outermost courtyard.

For so many years, the identity of the concubine has been like a tight spell on Lu Wuji's head. He treats people respectfully, does things cautiously, and studies diligently. He has no choice, only in this way can he survive in the cracks.

Faintly, it seemed that someone walked up to Lu Wuji and stopped, he squinted at it, and then withdrew his gaze.

Here is the third brother Lu Wuya, who is Lu Wuji's half-brother, one year older than Lu Wuji.

Lu Wuya and Lu Wuji are also concubines, but he is arrogant in front of Lu Wuji, and often bullies and makes things difficult for him.

"Yo? Do great talents also have times when they face the wall? Lu Wuya looked Lu Wuya up and down exaggeratedly, with obvious schadenfreude in his tone.

According to the Lu family rules, if brothers fight with each other, both parties will be severely punished. What's more, with Lu's nonsensical and thin body, he doesn't even have the confidence to fight.

It's just a matter of losing, and if you are dealt with by family law, it will be too cost-effective.

Seeing that Lu Wuya ignored himself, Lu Wuya felt bored, and deliberately stretched: "You enjoy it, I have to go to sleep." ”

At this moment, Lu Wuji inadvertently caught another glimpse of a figure walking in through the gate, and shouted loudly: "Third uncle! You wait! ”

Lu Yuxiao turned his head and saw Lu Wuji standing by the wall, with a look of surprise on his face.

Lu Yuxiao and Lu Wuji are both fifteen or sixteen years old, and the two have always had a good relationship.

In the Lu family's compound, Lu Yuxiao was the one who was punished the most by Lu Ruoliang's family law, and it was commonplace for him to think about it. Lu Wuji is a good boy, and he was also punished for facing the wall today, which made him very curious.

Lu Yuxiao was about to ask, but saw Lu Xiaoxian walking out of the arch of the second courtyard.

"Okay, don't stand, I've already pleaded with the head of the house, and he agreed!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said nonsense to Lu.

Lu Wuji's waist and knees were already sore, and after hearing Lu Xiaoxian's words, he hurriedly moved his body and looked into the arch.

"Don't look at it, the head of the house won't come out!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled, and suddenly said to Lu Wunonsensy, "I'll take you to Youzhou City tomorrow to play, how about it?" ”

"Okay!" Lu Wuji's eyes lit up, and then his eyes dimmed again, "I'm going to a private school tomorrow!" ”

"It's okay! Cheng Fuzi, I'll help you talk about it! Lu Xiaoxian patted his chest and said, "Just say if you want to go!" ”

"Of course I'm going!"

You don't have to go to a private school, you can go to Youzhou City to play, which is too attractive to Lu Wuji. In his memory, the number of times he went to Youzhou City could be counted with a slap.

Lu ...... Mr. Lu, can you take me with you? Lu Yuxiao stammered and pleaded.

"Hmm!" Lu Xiaoxian said to Lu Yuxiao in a matter-of-fact manner, "I don't count if I say this, you have to ask nonsense." ”

Lu Wuxian was very interesting, he asked Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, just take the third uncle with you!" ”

"Good! Listen to you, let's go to Youzhou City to play together tomorrow! ”

After Lu Xiaoxian left, Lu Wuji returned to his house.

The innermost room in the courtyard is where Lu Wuji and his mother Xu live.

The light in the house was very dark, and there was not much furniture, but it was clean and tidy, and it was obvious that the owner of the house was very diligent.

"Punished by the lord to face the wall?" Seeing his son, Xu's face was displeased.

Although the wind and frost of the years have carved a ravine on Xu's face, it can't hide the beauty of the past.

Xu hurt his son to the extreme

If it weren't for the meticulous care and encouragement of the Xu family day after day, Lu Wuji would not have survived in the strict Lu family, and he would not have been so good among the children of the Lu family.

Hearing Xu's question, Lu Wuji scratched his head and grimaced at his mother.

Xu Shi chuckled, brought the food to the table quickly, and beckoned Lu Wunong, "Hurry up, come and eat!" ”

"Great!" Seeing that Xu was not angry, Lu Wuji happily agreed.

Lu Wuji was already hungry, picked up the chopsticks, and devoured them.

……

Lu Wuji was sweating profusely, and when he was about to arrive at the door of the private school, he saw Lu Yuxiao looking anxiously in the direction he came from.

Lu Yuxiao is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Lu and Lu Ruoliang's younger brother, of course, he is qualified to come to the private school by carriage, so he usually comes earlier than Lu Wuji.

Seeing Lu Wuji, Lu Yuxiao asked strangely: "Where is Gongzi Lu?" Why haven't you come yet? You're not scolding us, are you? ”

"What did I do to you?" A voice sounded behind Lu Yuxiao.

Lu Yuxiao turned around, Lu Xiaoxian was coming out of the door of the private school, and said as he walked: "If I don't say hello to Master Cheng, won't you be beaten tomorrow?" ”

It's always bad to say bad things about people behind your back, Lu Yuxiao said embarrassedly: "What Lu Gongzi said is, let's go!" ”

In later generations, Lu Xiaoxian did not skip school, he didn't think it was a big deal. But it's different for Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao, skipping school has to pay a price.

Lu Wuji refused without hesitation: "No, the master wants to hit the board!" ”

Now, someone shelters them from the wind and rain, not only do they not have to go to private school, but they can also go to Youzhou City to play, of course they are happy.

As soon as they said go, the three of them headed in the direction of Youzhou City.

Going to Youzhou City is much farther than the distance from the Lu family's compound to the private school, but the mood is different, and Lu Wuli doesn't feel tired this way.

They walked and talked all the way, so happy.

Lu Xiaoxian smiled and asked Lu Wuji: "If you can fulfill a wish, what do you hope for the most?" ”

was chatting to the end, listening to Lu Xiaoxian's question, Lu Wuxian said without thinking: "My biggest wish is that I don't have to kneel and sit in the private school!" ”

Lu Wuji was almost tormented by kneeling in the private school, gritting his teeth and persevering every day, staying up until the end of school, and his legs didn't seem to be his own.

Lu Xiaoxian was stunned, Lu Wuxian's wish was so simple.

After a little thought, Lu Xiaoxian roughly understood. Lu Wuji is weak, and the hardest thing is to sit on his knees. When kneeling, the buttocks should be pressed against the calves and ankles, and the upper body should be straight, which is the position for several hours a day. When he was a prisoner in Luoyang Guozijian, Lu Xiaoxian experienced kneeling, which was indeed a kind of torture.

Entering the gate of Youzhou City, Lu Wuji looked around curiously as he walked.

Not long after, they came to Guanzheng Street.

The third master obviously didn't come to Youzhou City for the first time, he stopped, pointed to a building in front of him, and said to Lu Wuji without showing off: "Nonsense, you see, where there are officials guarding the door, it is the Yamen of Youzhou Thorn History!" ”

Lu Wuji looked at it, it was a gate with a wall, and there were several officials standing at the door. The Yamen of the Thorn History sits in the north and faces south, and the whole building is scattered, integrated into one, revealing solemn and simple.

Lu Xiaoxian pondered what Lu Wuxin said just now while walking, his wish was really simple, but it was still a little difficult to realize.

To make him a chair, making a chair should not be difficult for Lu Xiaoxian.

But does it work?

The etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is above the court or the people's homes, but on all formal occasions, kneeling is adopted. In the private school, everyone is kneeling and sitting, just Lu Wuji sits on a chair, it definitely can't work.

Go to Cheng Dezhang and talk to him, so that he can be special to Lu Wuji. This path doesn't seem to work either. Even if Cheng Dezhang is willing to help, there must be a suitable reason for favoring one over the other in front of the students.

After thinking about it, the image of a graceful Lang Zhong suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly smiled.

Lu Xiaoxian led Lu Wuji and Lu Yuxiao all the way to the door of Hualang Zhong's medical hall, and then turned his head and said to the third master: "You wait for me here for a while, and I will come out immediately!" ”

The two didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian was going to do, so they could only nod.

Sure enough, after a while, Lu Xiaoxian came out of the medical hall.

With a smug look on his face, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Lu Wuji: "Take it, this is your talisman!" ”

Lu is inexplicable.

Lu Xiaoxian whispered something in Lu Wuji's ear, gesturing while talking.

Lu Wuji listened, his eyes lit up, and the excitement on his face was overflowing, not to mention how happy he was.

Lu Yuxiao felt strange on the side, and was about to ask, but heard Lu Xiaoxian smile and say, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the fun!" ”

Cockfighting is Lu Yuxiao's favorite, and when you arrive in Youzhou City, of course, you can't go to see cockfighting.

When you get to the cockfighting ring, you can hear cheers from afar.

Outside the chicken farm, there are various chicken coops of various heights woven from bamboo, covered with green cloth.

In the cockfighting ring, a dense crowd of people surrounds a cockfighting platform about three feet high, watching the chickens in the circle struggling for their lives. There were no seams between the people, and even the nearby stone lions were full of people.

The sound of loud shouts and raises in the circle stimulated Lu Yuxiao, who circled around and tried to squeeze in through the legs of a big man.

Who knew that he was too fat, so he grabbed a handful of the big man on his head and pulled it out raw.

Obviously, he couldn't see cockfighting, and Lu Yuxiao was quite frustrated.

Lu Wuji took the advantage of being thin to the extreme, and in Lu Yuxiao's envious gaze, he squeezed into the circle.

There are fighting cocks on the cockfighting platform to catch and fight, all of them have their feathers standing upright, their wings beating sharply, or pecking, or grabbing, or patting, or fluttering...... The spectators on the side of the stage surrounded the three floors inside and three floors outside.

After watching two games, Lu Wuji had to quit, and if he looked down, he would be squeezed out.

It's hard to squeeze into the circle, and it's also hard to squeeze out of the circle.

Finally came out, Lu Wuji stroked the ribs that were almost squeezed, and gasped.

Lu Yuxiao asked impatiently: "Nonsense, tell me quickly, what's the situation inside?" ”

Lu Wuji recounted the scenes of the two cockfights, and Lu Yuxiao's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Now that he has arrived in Youzhou City, of course Lu Xiaoxian has to invite them to have a good meal, and the autumn wind is naturally the best choice.

……

Lu Xiaoxian sent the two home, and when they were about to arrive at the Lu family's compound, he saw the housekeeper standing at the gate from a distance.

Lu Wuji suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
