Out of the Poetry Society, Zhang Jie rode a high-headed horse and escorted him tightly beside Han Zi'er's carriage.

The man surnamed Wang followed him on horseback, but Zhou Kun didn't follow because he still wanted to talk about business with Lu Yuan.

"Brother Du, let's go have a drink together, shall we?" After the carriage walked away, Zhou Kun invited Lu Yuan.

Along the way, he has been secretly observing Lu Yuan, and seeing that he has always maintained a pampered and unfazed attitude, he has also behaved very appropriately in the poetry club.

Especially when he was in the same room with people like Zhang Gongzi, Miss Han and Song Hong, he didn't have any crampedness, and he thought a little more highly of him.

"Thank you Brother Zhou for the invitation, but I suddenly remembered that there were still some urgent matters to deal with, so I took my leave."

Without waiting for Zhou Kun to reply, Lu Yuan turned around and left, his steps were extremely fast, and he walked away after a while.

Zhou Kun was stunned in place, watching his back disappear, shook his head, turned around and got into the carriage.

Soon after Zhou Kun's carriage left, Lu Yuan paced back to the door of the Poetry Society, stood still under a big tree, and silently watched the door.

It didn't take long for the target he was waiting for appeared.

Lu Yuan was about to go up to say hello, but the other party suddenly ran in one direction.

What is this situation? Lu Yuan didn't think much about it, and quickly followed.

The person he chased was Li Zhong, who made poems for Zhang Gongzi, and now, whenever he met someone with a skill, his first thought was to take it for his own use.

And even if he puts aside his love for talent, he is also very interested in Li Zhong.

After running for a while, Li Zhong in front of him finally stopped, and in front of him was a carriage.

Seeing Zhang Gongzi following the carriage, Lu Yuan immediately knew that the owner of the carriage was Han Zi'er.

He silently followed behind Li Zhong, secretly guessing the purpose of his following behind the car.

After a long time, the carriage drove to the Han Mansion, the curtain was lifted, Han Zi'er thanked Zhang Gongzi, and then the carriage entered the mansion through the second gate, and Zhang Jie then rode away.

Li Zhong's gaze lingered in the Han Mansion for a long time, and finally turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan finally saw that this scholar was likely to have a crush on Han Zi'er.

It's a pity that with his current status, this feeling is destined to have no results.

Lu Yuan walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, hello." ”

Li Zhong was taken aback, turned his head to look, and said vigilantly: "Who are you, what are you looking for me?" ”

"The trees hate the snow, and the flowers grow first. Wandering warblers and dancing butterflies, there is no cause and effect. Lu Yuan smiled and said, "This poem was written by Brother Tai, right?" ”

"How do you know this poem?" Li Zhong was stunned.

Suddenly, he felt a chill behind his back and said in a panic: "Yes...... Did Young Master Zhang ask you to come to me? ”

"No, I'm a friend of Zhou Kun, I just went to the poetry meeting with him today, and I happened to hear Brother Tai's masterpiece, so I want to get acquainted with Brother Tai." Lu Yuan explained.

"Are you a friend of the young owner?"

"I'm not a friend, I just met today." Lu Yuan replied.

Li Zhong was still a little surprised, and looked left and right, wanting to see if he had any accomplices.

Lu Yuan looked at a teahouse on the side of the street and said, "Let's go there and talk." ”

Seeing that there were no suspicious people around, Li Zhong gradually let down his guard and nodded.

The two walked across the street and entered the teahouse, which was very tidy, and most of the seats were already filled with tea customers, and it seemed that business was quite good.

Lu Yuan glanced left and right, and walked to a corner position, after the two sat down, Cha Xiaoer quickly came over to greet him: "Two guest officers, what do you want to drink?" ”

"Take your signature tea." Lu Yuan said.

"Okay, a pot of signature tea West Lake Longjing!" Xiao Er shouted loudly.

Li Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Tai, the dragon well here is very expensive. ”

"Brother Li don't worry, he is a businessman in Hui'an Mansion, surnamed Du Mingxuan, not bad for money, I will invite this meal." Lu Yuan patted his waist bag and smiled.

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "Brother Du is an elegant person. ”

Lu Yuan sighed: "Actually, I often have to maintain a serious appearance on weekdays, but this time it is difficult to go out, so I naturally have to let go." ”

Li Zhong smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Brother Du is not only elegant, but also so honest, it's a pity that people like Zai Xia are not worthy of making friends with Brother Du." ”

Lu Yuan saw that he had a little inferiority, was silent for a moment, and said, "Is Brother Li interested in listening to a story?" ”

Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Brother Du, please speak, listen to me." ”

Lu Yuan said slowly:

One day, a young man asked a Taoist priest for advice and asked, "Master, some people say that I am a genius, and some people call me a fool, what do you think?" ”

"It depends on how you see yourself." The Taoist priest smiled.

The young man lowered his head, a little disapproving.

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and continued: "A pound of rice is a few bowls of rice in the eyes of the cook; In the eyes of the bakery, it is baked cakes; In the eyes of wine merchants, it became wine again. Rice is still that meter. Again, you are still you, and how much you can make depends on how you see yourself. ”

Li Zhong immediately understood that the other party was explaining himself, and although this story touched him a little, he would not change his mind so easily.

What really touched him was that the other party knew him before, but he deliberately told such a story to explain himself, and he was deeply grateful for this kindness.

"Brother Du, thank you." Li Zhong stood up and swayed.

"Brother Li doesn't have to mind." Lu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Actually, there is one thing I don't understand, with Brother Li's talent, why do you want to be an accountant under Zhou Kun?" ”

Li Zhong was silent for a moment and whispered, "Because I am one of the butchers." ”

"That's it?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

Li Zhong kept staring at Lu Yuanbiao, and seeing that he didn't show a look of disgust, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "In addition, I didn't study in school seriously when I was a child, and I have no merit on my body, even if I make a poem, as long as I name Li Zhong, others will say it badly." ”

"If you haven't gone to school, then where did you get this poetry?"

"Just because I love to read since I was a child, although my father didn't let me go to private school, I often eavesdropped, and every time I was a child, I liked to write and write the good sentences I heard on the ground with a stick over and over again."

Speaking of this past, Li Zhong unconsciously smiled on his face.

"When I grew up, I started to make my own poems, and at first I didn't know whether it was good or bad, but when others said it was bad, I thought it was bad.

Until one day, I was working as a part-time worker at the young owner's house, and he accidentally wrote a poem on the ground that he saw, and he accepted me as a bookkeeper. ”

Lu Yuan was speechless for a long time, and then said softly: "Then you should know that you are actually very talented now, why don't you leave Zhou Kun?" ”

Li Zhong shook his head and said: "What's the use of that, my poems are only valuable if they are named Zhang Gongzi or Shaodong, if I say that I made it myself, others will still feel worthless." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan didn't know how to comfort him for a while. This phenomenon still exists even in later generations, and fame is sometimes more important than talent, and this situation was even more serious in ancient times.

"Don't talk about that." Li Zhong waved his hand and said: "Since Brother Du will be a friend of Xia, as long as Brother Du is not disgusted with the simplicity of Xia's family, it is better to go to my house, and I will invite Brother Du to drink." ”

"Then it's disrespectful." Lu Yuan said with a smile.

As he spoke, he got up to settle the bill, and after paying one or two pieces of silver, he followed Li Zhong to his home.

Following him, the two of them walked around and into a remote alley.

After walking for a while, Li Zhong stopped in front of a dilapidated house, patted the door and said, "Xiaodong, open the door quickly." ”

"Rustle", a sound of footsteps sounded, squeaked, the door opened, and a small face was revealed behind the door, it was a little girl who was a little taller than Lu Yutong.

After glancing at Lu Yuan, she quickly got out of the way.

Lu Yuan was invited into the house by Li Zhong, and under the leadership of the other party, he took a tour and found that it was a three-room room. There is a small kitchen on the left, two rooms behind the lobby, and a small study on the right.

Although the house is small, it is neatly maintained, and the furniture is old, but it is clean.

"The cold room is simple, and I ask Brother Du to take care of it." Li Zhong beckoned Lu Yuan to sit down, and then pointed to the little girl who was closing the door and introduced: "This is my righteous daughter, called Li Dong." ”

"Righteous daughter?" Lu Yuan looked at Li Dong and felt that she should be one or two years older than Lu Yutong.

"Yes, she was adopted by me." Li Zhong explained and said to Li Dong: "Go and get the pot of wine in my cabinet." ”

Li Dong nodded, trotted towards Li Zhong's bedroom, and soon, the little girl came over with a hard hand and put it behind the table and made a gesture to Li Zhong.

"Let's go play." Li Zhong waved his hand.

Seeing Lu Yuan's puzzled gaze, he explained, "She is a poor child who can't speak. ”
