After Lin Daiyu, Lu Zhiyu and others heard the news, they didn't have much reaction, and literati and celebrities have always admired Su Xiaoxiao, and many celebrities such as Li He, Bai Juyi, Xu Wei, etc. have written poems to mourn Su Xiaoxiao.

Lu Zhiyu suggested: "A few sisters, let's go and see it too!" ”

Lin Daiyu asked: "I only read Su Xiaoxiao's record in the poems, and I only know that she is a talented woman, and I don't know her specific life!" ”

"Su Xiaoxiao has been able to write and write poetry since he was a child, and he is full of literary talent, but unfortunately his parents died when he was a child, and he lived in his aunt's house by the Xiling Bridge in Qiantang." Miaoyu introduced.

However, in order to pursue freedom, she does not want to send people under the fence, she would rather be a woman in a green house, but also enjoy the lake and mountains, she made a self-made oil wall car, and traveled all over the lake and mountains.

Ge Jingyi added: "Su Xiaoxiao is self-clean, not following the crowd, when Meng Lang, the observer of Shangjiang, came to Qiantang on business, he was not good at Su Xiaoxiao's door as an official, so he sent someone to invite her to the mansion, but Su Xiaoxiao was unwilling to bend her eyebrows, and later Meng Lang urged her to come several times. ”

At that time, Meng Lang embarrassed her, pointed to a plum blossom outside the court and asked her to make a poem, Su Xiaoxiao calmly chanted: 'Although the plum blossom is arrogant, how dare it be against the spring cold? If it is more red and white, you must still see it with blue eyes! Su Xiaoxiao's poem amazed Meng Lang, and he no longer embarrassed her. ”

Later, Su Xiaoxiao had a discerning eye and helped Bao Ren, a poor scholar, to enter Beijing to take the exam. It's just that Su Xiaoxiao was framed and imprisoned because she offended the powerful, and she was seriously ill in prison. ’”

Lin Daiyu and Miaoyu listened to Su Xiaoxiao's story, they were all concerned, Lin Daiyu just felt inexplicable sadness, and Miaoyu thought of her situation at this time, if she continued to stay in Jiangnan, I am afraid it would not end well, and she was even more determined to avoid the idea of the capital.

The lake and mountain have buried jade here, and the flower moon can cast gold!

After some discussion, Daiyu, Miaoyu and others decided to worship Su Xiaoxiao.

After visiting the West Lake, everyone separated at the pier, Ge Yin and his sisters returned to Yangzhou, and Lu Jing took Lin Daiyu and others back to Gusu by water.

On August 21, Lu Jing sent Lin Daiyu, Miaoyu, and Xing Xiuyan home with his sister.

After Lu Jing returned from Hangzhou, he began to pack his luggage, planning to take his sister to Fengyang to visit his second uncle Lu Jun in a few days, and planned to stay at the second uncle's house for a few days, so he set off directly from Huai'an and went to the capital to catch the exam.

When Lin Ruhai went to Hangzhou in Daiyu, he decided to set off for Beijing on the 25th.

On the evening of the 24th, Lu Jing took Zhiyu to Lin's house, first, to say goodbye, and secondly, to see if Lin Ruhai had anything else to explain.

"Huai Jin, why don't you go to Beijing with your teacher, and you can take care of it on the way?" Lin Ruhai persuaded.

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the disciple has made an appointment with Ge Yin to enter Beijing to take the exam together!"

"Another second uncle sent a letter, saying that before the disciple entered Beijing, go and see him, I am packing my luggage these days, and after the teacher leaves, the disciple will set off." Lu Jing explained.

In this Jiangnan turmoil, because Lu Jing had ventilation in advance, Lu Jun also seized this opportunity to actively cooperate with Lin Ruhai in Huai'an Mansion to investigate the salt tax and officialdom in Huai'an Mansion.

Afterwards, Lu Jun was helped by his friend Shen Ji in Beijing, and he was promoted from the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture to the governor of Fengyang, in charge of the political affairs of Fengyang Mansion, Huai'an Mansion, Luyang Mansion, Xuzhou, Chuzhou and Hezhou, and became a patrolman with great power in his hands.

"Since your second uncle specially sent a letter, I'm afraid there is something looking for you, or okay, when you get to Beijing, it's not too late for us to see each other!"

Lin Ruhai was not reluctant, anyway, Lu Jing had already placed the house in Beijing next to the Lin Mansion, and after entering Beijing, the two families lived next to each other, and it was very convenient to come and go.

"The disciple thinks the same way, the second uncle wrote to say that the second brother took the township examination in Jinling, and the disciple wanted to come to Kedi to pass the exam this time, probably because he wanted the disciple to take Kedi into Beijing together."

He received a letter from Lu Jun a few days ago, saying that Lu Ke was participating in the Jinke Township Examination, and he must have passed, and if it was over, he could enter Beijing together.

Moreover, Lu Ke and Lu Zhili are already engaged, and Lu Zhili is still married to a family in Beijing, but Lu Jun did not specify which family it was in the letter, and Lu Jing thought that the second uncle should want him to discuss these things.

"That's fine!" Lin Ruhai nodded.

"When the teacher entered Beijing this time, he planned to set a marriage for Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai then said with deep meaning.

He felt that these days, Lu Jing took Daiyu to play, and the contact with Daiyu was too frequent, which would inevitably cause other people's gossip, so there was a bit of warning to Lu Jing in his words.

Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Lin Ruhai suddenly told him about it, and then asked, "But the Jia family?" ”

"Not bad!" Lin Ruhai nodded.

"Well, in this case, I want to congratulate Sister Lin." Lu Jing shook his head and did not persuade Lin Ruhai again.

At the same time that Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing were saying goodbye, the little sisters Lu Zhiyu and Lin Daiyu were also saying goodbye.

"Sister, this is a six-volume collection of poems given by my brother to my sister, including poems by talented women of previous dynasties, my brother said that I hope my sister can also be famous through the ages and compete with them!"

Lu Zhiyu's mood was quite sad, since she knew that she was going to be separated from Daiyu, she was very lost and reluctant in her heart.

Parting with her sadness, Lin Daiyu's mood was also extremely low, but at this moment, when she heard what Zhiyu said, there were ripples in her heart.

At that time, Mama Li's words made her reluctant to let go of poetry, but she didn't expect her cousin to support her in learning poetry.

Some time ago, she saw from her cousin's support for Zhiyu's sister and Yinglian's poetry study, that her cousin was different from ordinary men, he taught Zhiyu's sister to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and let Yinglian pursue what she liked, all kinds of things showed that her cousin respected women very much.

Lin Daiyu took these books with a slight trembling hand, and said gratefully: "Thank you cousin for my attention, how can Daiyu be so praised." ”

Lin Daiyu is very grateful to Lu Jing in her heart, she has taken them to play to her heart's content in the past few months, and invited famous doctors for her to recuperate her body, all of which make her have a very special feeling for Lu Jing.

Lu Zhiyu opened the first book, pointed to a poem on the title page and said: "This is a poem from my brother to my sister, and I hope my sister will not forget my brother." ”

Lin Daiyu raised her eyes and saw that she wrote: "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. ”

Seeing the first two sentences, Lin Daiyu was embarrassed, and suddenly closed the book, feeling uneasy for a while.

She felt that the words were very beautiful and wanted to read them, but she was worried that it was a poem that conveyed affection, and if she was found out, she would be accused of not abiding by the etiquette law.

wanted to return the book to Zhiyu, but he was reluctant, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhiyu teased knowingly.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Lu Zhiyu angrily, but after all, she couldn't resist her curiosity, endured her shyness, reopened the book, and continued to read, only feeling that the words were poignant and sad.

However, after reading it twice, Lin Daiyu found that something was wrong, no matter how you look at this poem, it doesn't look like her cousin's poetry style.

She looked at Zhi Yu's dodging gaze and asked, "This is really what my cousin wrote for me, how can I see that the handwriting looks like yours?" ”

Lu Zhiyu glanced at Daiyu with a weak heart, and said with a smile: "Of course, I saw with my own eyes that after my brother met my sister that day, I wrote this poem, and I just copied it down for my brother." ”

Lin Daiyu had already found the clue from Lu Zhiyu's unnatural expression, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, tell me honestly, don't try to hide it from me, my cousin has always been polite and courteous, how could he give me such verses?" ”

Lin Daiyu said that she was also shy.

"It was really written by my brother for my sister, but I found out, so I secretly wrote it on the title page."

Lu Zhiyu now regrets hiding from Lu Jing for doing this, this poem was indeed not written for Daiyu, but after returning from West Lake, she saw it in her brother's study.

Listening to Yinglian, it was her brother who wrote it casually when he lamented Su Xiaoxiao's encounter that day, she saw the beautiful words, so she often recited them, and now she took advantage of saying goodbye to Daiyu, so she secretly wrote this poem into the poetry collection that Lu Jing gave to Daiyu.

"I knew it was you who was messing around, so I said that this song has nothing to do with me."

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, but her mood at this time was quite complicated, and she didn't know who her cousin wrote this poignant and lamenting poem.

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly said: "It's really written for my sister, the women my brother has been in contact with over the years, except for my sister, there is a sister, and I haven't been in contact with other women, this poem was really written after meeting my sister and you." ”

Lin Daiyu was overjoyed when she heard this, but said: "Don't try to lie to me, I don't believe you anymore." ”

"Good sister, just believe me!" Lu Zhiyu looked anxious, afraid that Daiyu would misunderstand which woman her brother had a relationship with, so not only did she not help her brother leave a good impression in Daiyu's heart, but would make Daiyu stay farther and farther away from her brother.

Lin Daiyu saw Lu Zhiyu's anxious look, and believed it in her heart, thinking that this poem, even if it was not written for her, it was not written for other women, but she felt that her cousin would not do such a thing, so she pretended to be angry and said: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will be angry!" ”

Lu Zhiyu said helplessly: "Okay, sister, don't be angry, I confess that this poem was written by my brother when he was grateful for Su's little deeds a few days ago!" ”

Lin Daiyu's heart was inexplicably relieved when she heard this, followed by a faint sense of loss, and she immediately asked softly, "Does my cousin know about this?" ”

Lu Zhiyu didn't dare to make any more twists and turns, and replied honestly: "I don't know, I wrote it secretly." ”

"That's good, hmph, you actually did these tricks, if I hadn't asked more questions this time, I would have really fooled you." Lin Daiyu said angrily.

Lu Zhiyu hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister, don't blame my sister, I also see that this song is good, so I will show it to my sister to appreciate." ”

"Then I really want to thank you!" Lin Daiyu said angrily, but she kept swaying the book in her hand, reluctant to let go, and she couldn't tell what it felt like in her heart.
