After Lu Jing handed over this endowment on the second day, Emperor Yuanyong simply read it and asked Lu Jing to go home and rest for a while.

After Lu Jing left, Emperor Yuan Yong ordered the eunuch to spread the words that Lu Jing was pedantic and incomprehensible, and in just one day, Emperor Yuan Yong's evaluation of Lu Jing made everyone in the Manchu Dynasty know and everyone know.

Many people who were jealous of Lu Jing took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar, saying that Lu Jing's holy family had been lost and had been rejected by the emperor, and everyone had to have less contact with him, so as not to cause trouble.

Sure enough, two days later, Emperor Yuan Yong issued an order to remove Lu Jing from his duty in the Xinuan Pavilion, and ordered him to sort out the characters and deeds that should have been praised but omitted since the previous generations, and re-compile the book "Loyalty Festival Picks Up and Fills the Gaps" to praise the missing loyal and righteous people.

Seeing that this errand was vague, Lu Jing did not say how many chapters he had sorted out, nor did he say when it would be delivered, it was like an indefinite job, and he secretly thought to himself that Emperor Yuanyong was going to completely abandon himself or temper himself.

After hearing about Emperor Yuanyong's arrangement for Lu Jing, everyone in the court was either happy or surprised, this work is almost comparable to exile, there are so many deeds since the previous generation, even if they exhaust their lives, they may not be able to sort it out completely, and they have speculated that Lu Jing has committed the emperor's taboo, which is rejected by the emperor.

Some people even deliberately interpreted it as the emperor felt that Lu Jing's loyalty and filial piety were lacking, so he asked him to sort out the relics of the loyalty festival in order to learn the loyalty and filial piety of the ancients.

Some officials who were dissatisfied with Lu Jing, seeing that Lu Jing had lost his holy family, wrote a letter of impeachment, wanting to fall into the well and completely drive Lu Jing out of the officialdom.

Song Xuequan, Jin Yue and other colleagues of the Hanlin Academy, as well as Zheng Chen of Guozijian, pleaded for Lu Jing's letter, but they were sunk in the sea, and they did not get any reply, and they were reprimanded by the emperor.

Feng Yanji, Xu Jingnian, Shen Ji, Zhou Kun and other officials who had personal relations with Lu Jing, or who valued Lu Jing very much, did not dare to intercede for Lu Jing easily before finding out the emperor's thoughts, but just wrote a letter of condolences.

Chen Ju, Wu Bingxuan, Huang Yongzhong and other people who have worked with Lu Jing were surprised to see Lu Jing suddenly lose his holy family, but they also knew the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

Therefore, he did not speculate whether the emperor wanted to suppress Lu Jing's momentum, or really wanted to abandon him, and did not make the slightest move, neither slandering nor pleading, only maintaining a neutral attitude, and still maintaining the relationship that was not far away from before, but Chen Ju did not object to Chen Ting's relationship with Lu Jing.

The envoys of Qianxiang Kingdom, Hanhai Kingdom and other countries, seeing that Bachelor Lu, who was still in high spirits a few days ago, suddenly fell into the clouds at this moment, and they all sighed that Emperor Yuanyong was moody and acted more cautiously in Beijing, and Ishikawa Yoshishi came to the door to offer condolences.

After a commotion, everyone saw that the emperor's attitude towards Lu Jing was over, neither recovering nor punishing severely, and those who impeached died down one after another, and those who pleaded for mercy all sighed. In just a few days, except for those who have deep friendships, almost no one pays attention to Lu Jing's affairs, and everyone in the court and China has been distracted by other things.

Seeing this, Feng Yanji, Xu Jingnian, Shen Ji and others had to press their minds, wait for the opportunity, and wait for a while to find a way to help Lu Jing get through this pass.

After Wang Ziteng learned of this, he ignored it after a little thought, and remembered the matter of the Mei family, so he called someone to ask, and learned that the time of the Mei family was running out, but he thought about taking Baoqin over to Chongxi, sneered, and sent someone to completely end the matter.

Jia Mu shook her head secretly when she heard this, sighed at the impermanence of the world, and sent someone to comfort Daiyu; Mrs. Wang was secretly happy, Tanchun, Yingchun, Xiangyun, Baoqin and others either secretly said pity, or sighed for Daiyu, or secretly worried; The rest of Jia Yu, Jia Lian and others just regarded it as a talking point and didn't care.

Xue Baochai was secretly worried about Lu Jing, felt for the moon for a long time, and mustered up the courage to send a letter of condolences.

The third prince, Prince Long, and the fourth prince, Prince Shuo, originally wanted to win over Lu Jing, but seeing this situation, the third prince gave up this thought, but the fourth prince planned to take advantage of Lu Jing's frustration to take advantage of it, but now that Lu Jing had just been dismissed, he was not in a hurry to make a move.

As a result, except for Chen Ting, Shen Liang and a few other like-minded confidants and friends in Lu Jing's house, no one has come to the door, especially now that the New Year is approaching, there are few cars and horses in front of Lu's house, which is in stark contrast to the door of the court a few days ago, and it shows the sophistication of the officialdom.

Lu Jing closed his door at home, thinking hard for many days, but he was still puzzled, why did the emperor's attitude towards himself change so much, was it because of his own strategy, or just because of that poem, I couldn't understand, so I had to comfort myself, maybe the emperor wanted to temper himself, and it just so happened that he could also keep his eyes on it, and wait for a while to see the emperor's reaction, and then decide the next plan.

Lin Daiyu saw that after Lu Jing was dismissed, he buried himself in the study all day long, and he was often sad, without the joy of the past, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and worried that he would be depressed because of this, so he put wine in the ink smoke pavilion and asked Zijuan to invite Lu Jing.

After Lu Jing arrived, he saw that Daiyu was stroking the strings, there were wine and food on the table, the fragrance of lilies was burning, and there were chessboards, pen and ink and other things, and he knew Daiyu's plan, so he sat down according to his words.

Looking at this situation, Lu Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although he has experienced the various states in the world these days, and the warmth and coldness of people, there are also many warm places, Song Xuequan, Zheng Chen and others wrote to intercede, Feng Yanji, Shen Ji and others secretly defended themselves, and Xue Baochai's letter of condolence all made his heart warm, and he also wrote a reply to thank him.

In the past few days, his father-in-law Lin Ruhai has also been persuading and comforting, and he came up with the idea of taking the opportunity to raise hope, gain fame in Shilin, and reach the world with his literary fame, waiting for the edict of the Son of Heaven, Xu Jingnian and Shen Jixin also have this intention, but Lu Jing feels that the situation is unclear at this time, and it is not appropriate to move lightly.

When Daiyu saw Lu Jing sitting down, she smiled and said, "Husband, sit down for a while, and listen to the concubine play a song." ”

Lu Jing nodded and smiled: "Wait for Mrs. Niang's wonderful music." ”

After listening to Daiyu, she plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano sounded slowly, like a spring water flowing out, and like a ring ringing into the ears with the wind.

Lu Jing closes his eyes and listens carefully, it seems to be a new song, soothing like a flowing spring at the beginning, gradually melodious and tactful, like a spring overflowing, beating and playing happily in the mountain stream, or rapid or slow, such as the breeze and the willows or up or down, a little while, the tone gradually turns, such as the summer rain hitting the new lotus, the drops fall, and slowly slide down, fall into the water, rippling open.

The sound of the piano turns a few times, and the notes beat or dance with the wind like flying flowers in the sky, or like the wind ringing around the bamboo forest, or like the young warblers in the forest laughing and crying, such as seeing the scene, such as being on the scene.

The sound of the piano gradually slowed down, and returned to its original appearance, and the clear spring flowed slowly in the valley, like whispering, chanting and whispering, and gradually every note returned to calm, like the quiet moonlight, soothing the complicated thoughts in the world, and purifying the soul that was stained with dust.

I don't know when the sound of the piano stopped, after Lu Jing opened his eyes, he saw Daiyu looking at him with a smile, and praised with a smile: "Madame's song is gentle and soothing, tactful and continuous, like spring water dingdong, wearing rings softly, and like hibiscus crying dew, young warblers laughing, making people feel calm, this song is composed by Madame?" ”

Seeing that his expression was peaceful, Daiyu showed a familiar smile again, chuckled and nodded, "It was the concubine who did it." ”

Lu Jing praised: "Madam is really talented, what is the name of this song?" ”

Dai Yu smiled and said: "The concubine body is specially made for the husband, so the husband will name it!" ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and smiled: "The piano can be fun without strings, and the heart is immortal when it forgets the opportunity." It is difficult to describe the meaning of the song, and the strings rhyme and jade fingers. Let's call it "Returning to the Forest and Forgetting the Machine"! ”

Daiyu responded with a smile: "Forget the opportunity to return to the same fish and birds, and smoke on the pine of the waves, just according to the will of the husband." ”

Lu Jing walked over and hugged Daiyu and said: "Madame has a heart, I have just been thinking about the deep meaning of the emperor's move for the past few days, plus I suddenly became idle, I don't know what to do, it is difficult to adapt for a while, but it makes Madame worried, I really shouldn't." ”

Daiyu blamed herself: "The husband doesn't have to be like this, but the concubine has not known how to comfort the husband, and she is deeply uneasy, and now the husband can show her face again, and the concubine can feel a little at ease." ”

Lu Jing soothed: "Madame, don't worry, I've already figured it out, whether I'm at home or at home, I don't have to intrigue with them in the court, and it's hard to live in peace all day long!" ”

Daiyu nodded and persuaded: "It's good for the husband to rest, this official is like panning the sea, there can be a few people who have not drowned in the past and present, the concubine knows that the husband has always had the ambition of Qingyun, and now the husband is also temporarily idle, I hope that the husband will take care of his body, don't be discouraged, there will always be a day when the clouds will sail to the sea." ”

Lu Jing shook his head and smiled: "I have no ambitions, and I have never thought about how big an official I am, and I only met my father's vision when I first embarked on a career in office, and later married my wife because I wanted to have the power to protect myself, give my wife a stable and beautiful life, and be able to stay with my wife for a lifetime, and grow old." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and continued: "Although I attached great importance to the scientific examination before the examination, I didn't care much about the results, or because of the favor of my wife, I was angry and wanted to get a good ranking in the exam, in order to be worthy of my wife's beauty and talent. ”

Daiyu saw that Lu Jing's expression was sincere, knowing that what he said was true, her heart was full of emotion, and she said affectionately: "The concubine does not ask her husband to be able to seal his wife's shadow, but only hopes that her husband can spend his life peacefully. ”

Lu Jing stroked Daiyu's jade face and said with a smile: "Why do you need to be in love with the landscape, with such a beauty as Mrs., isn't it more beautiful than any landscape, and the day is easy to go, youth is fleeting, since my wife got married, I have been busy with official business and have not accompanied Mrs. well, now I can stay with Mrs. at home, play against the piano, cook tea and rhyme, and enjoy the fun of the boudoir!" ”

Daiyu nodded happily when she heard this, and then the two played chess again, drank and made poetry as a reward, and enjoyed themselves.

Since then, Daiyu has become more and more gentle with Lu Jing, and she is obedient in order to appease her heart. Lu Jing also accompanies Daiyu every day, never leaving half a step, extremely gentle. The two sleep together at night, eat together during the day, or read classics together, or comment on poems, or rhyme and reward, which is more glue like paint than when they first got married, and their feelings are deeper.
