Lu Chengyu had a greeting with Wen Tongxiao, a fellow Jinshi, in Shiquan County, and Wen Tongxiao did his best to entertain Lu Chengyu and his subordinates.

Lu Chengyu instructed Ma Xiao to repair 500 soldiers and horses in Shiquan County for a night; The next day, I rushed to the Aoishi River.

After the sun sets, the first star to appear in the night sky is Venus; Venus always so tirelessly precedes the moon in the west, and in the early hours of the morning, it hangs in the east and shines again before the sun rises.

What kind of planet Venus is, people in Lu Chengyu's era naturally don't understand; Even in the 21st century, what people know about Venus is just speculation.

Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao talked about Venus's tireless efforts, and the two meditated under a big plane tree in the back garden of the county government to catch up on the past.

Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao's meditation circle chair is a popular rattan chair in western Sichuan, and the rattan chair is naturally made of rattan; Two rattan chairs are placed side by side under the plane tree, with a delicate rattan coffee table in the middle; There is wine, tea, and sobering and insect-proof spices on the coffee table.

After the servant put a dry supply in place, he retreated in a playful manner, and Lu Chengyu and Wen Tongxiao chatted with wine.

Such an opportunity is rare for both of them, so they cherish this kind of busy and leisurely chatting about the past.

The dark blue canopy of stars grew and grew, and finally piled up into a group of stars that shimmered brightly.

Some stars are bright and large, while others are tiny and dim; Whether big or small, the stars want to show their presence in the night sky when the sun sets.

At some point, the moon crept up; The stars on the desert sky lost their brightness, and the moon was like a lamp hanging high in the sky; Illuminate the earth brightly.

Staring at the moon in the sky and the moonlight on the ground, Wen Tongxiao couldn't help but write poetry; With an excited expression, he recited Li Bai's poems:

When will the moon come in the blue sky, I will stop the cup today and ask.

People can't climb the bright moon, but the moon walks with people.

It is as bright as a flying mirror, and the green smoke is extinguished.

But seeing that the night came from the sea, Ning knew that Xiang Yun did not.

The white rabbit pounds medicine in autumn and spring, and Chang'e lives alone with whom.

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients.

If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.

I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle.

When Lu Chengyu saw Lu Chengyu reciting Li Bai's poem, he also chanted a poem by Du Fu:

The drums cut off the pedestrians, and the sound of geese on the autumn side.

The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming.

There are brothers who are scattered, and there is no home to ask about life and death.

The length of the letter is not reached, and the army has not ceased to be suspended.

The two of them chanted poems and spoke leisurely and happily, and Wen Tongxiao repeated the previous words again: "Brother Lu becomes the prefect of Yu!" The younger brother sent Yang Heyi to meet you just to borrow General Ma Xiao's use, who would have thought that Brother Nian personally led 500 horse troops to come; This makes the little Shiquan County shine, and the little brother doesn't know how to be grateful! ”

Lu Chengyu saw Wen Tongxiao speaking politely, so he also said with a high-sounding smile: "Brother Wen thinks about the imperial court, and wants to escort the military horses to Tokyo for Qin Feng, the supervisor of Qingshichuan Horse Herding; This is the most important thing! ”

After a pause, he said impassionedly: "Since Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty ascended the throne, he has been full of confidence in recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun; These war horses were sent to the front line to confront the Tielin Army of the Liao Gang Khitans, and Brother Wen's Longyan Zhizhu borrowed General Ma Xiao to complete the mission; The subordinate was accidentally shocked, so he came in person; Of course, there is another layer of meaning is to catch up with Brother Wen! ”

Wen Tongxiao laughed loudly, and Lu Chengyu suddenly sighed and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, Lu came to Shiquan County and thought about it!" ”

"But a wish!" Wen Tongxiao couldn't help but cry, staring at Lu Chengyu in surprise and said, "Brother Nian came to Shiquan County to ask for a wish? This is too unexpected! ”

Lu Chengyu didn't say anything, got up from the rattan chair and stomped around the plane tree; As he paced, he looked up at the stars and the moon in the sky.

Wen Tongxiao saw Lu Chengyu's solemn expression, and he was puzzled: "Brother Nian, your words of a wish are a bit too profound, even if the younger brother wants to break his head, he can't figure out a Zhang Dao Li beard!" ”

After Wen Tongxiao said the above paragraph, he fixed his mind and said thoughtfully: "Brother Nian is one year older than Wen, but we are both Jinshi in the Kaibao period of Taizu; The younger brother has been in the officialdom all the way to the Chengdu prefect is the third-grade official of the imperial court, and the younger brother is still the seven-grade magistrate; Brother Nian, what other wishes are gone! ”

Lu Chengyu did not respond to Wen Tongxiao's words, and only stared at him with sharp eyes; Wen Tongxiao saw Lu Chengyu's strange eyes, and couldn't help but spread his hands and smiled: "Why is Brother Nian staring at the little brother with such eyes, did the little brother say something wrong?" ”

Lu Chengyu let out a "hum" from his nasal cavity, and sat back on the rattan chair; Without moving, he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, looked at Wen Tongxiao, and suddenly asked, "Brother Wen, how many wives do you have?" How many babies did your wife give birth to you? ”

Wen Tongxiao was dumbfounded, he didn't understand why Lu Chengyu asked like this; said with a smile: "The younger brother has one wife, three concubines and four wives, and gave birth to 6 babies; An average of one and a half ...... per wife."

Wen Tongxiao stopped abruptly at this point, and seemed to understand the meaning of Lu Chengyu's wish; Hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Nian rushed to Shiquan County, but the intention of his wish seems to understand, are you here to ask for a wife!" ”

Wen Tongxiao said, Huo Di stood up from the rattan chair and pointed his finger at Lu Chengyu and said, "Isn't that right, junior brother!" ”

Lu Chengyu laughed loudly, pacing on the ground as before.

Wen Tongxiao saw that Lu Chengyu was deep again, and hurriedly added: "Brother Nian is one in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and he has never asked his wife to be regarded as a strange act; But the younger brother can understand the ambition of the younger brother, you are looking for a Qiang woman! ”

Wen Tongxiao's thinking expanded to the ethnic issue, and after saying this, he said again: "It seems that Brother Nian is a shrewd person, and he knows that the farther away he is from his wife, the smarter his descendants are; Ask a girl from the Qiang family to give birth to a peerless wizard, and if you don't get it right, you can become a prime minister! ”

Wen Tongxiao wanted to say that he could be the emperor, but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to prime ministers; Because he is the Qipinzhi County of the Great Song Dynasty; Saying the words of becoming an emperor is suspected of being an emperor, and once a troublesome person plays him, he will be killed.

Lu Chengyu saw Wen Tongxiao chattering endlessly, and turned back to Wen Tongxiao's side and laughed.

Wen Tongxiao stared at Lu Chengyu and laughed with him.

Wen Tongxiao laughed a few times and then said: "Brother Lu really wants to marry a girl from the Qiang family, so the younger brother will exercise the right to know the county; Gather all the Qiang girls in Jiuxiang and Bazhai to the county government, and let the young brother choose! ”

Lu Chengyu stared at Wen Tongxiao silently, and Wen Tongxiao continued with the above words: "Brother Nian, you have to understand that Shiquan County is Yuli, the hometown of Dayu; The mountains are full of handsome birds! The girl in Qiangzhai is a beauty who has won a race, and the young brother wants to choose as much as he wants! ”

Lu Chengyu saw that Wen Tongxiao was off topic, pointed his finger at him and said, "Wen Tongxiao, Brother Wen, are you really confused or pretending to be confused!" ”

"What does Xia Guan understand!" Wen Tongxiao stared at Lu Chengyu suspiciously, and turned his head in a big circle on the Lang Pavilion on his neck; He took a sip of the tea on the rattan coffee table and said, "Brother Lu, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd!" Can't just say it? ”

Seeing that Wen Tongxiao was stupid, Lu Chengyu couldn't help laughing and said, "Lu Mou's wish is to come to the Songpan area to find a dream!" ”

"Looking for a dream!" Wen Tongxiao repeated Lu Chengyu's words, opened his mouth wide and said nothing, but he was silently thinking in his heart: Is there something wrong with Lu Chengyu's brain? If he weren't the prefect of Chengdu and the Song Dynasty, how could he say such a thing that couldn't reach the world and the ground? Looking for a dream in the Songpan area? Can dreams be found?

Wen Tongxiao's mind was wild, and he stared at Lu Chengyu with slanted eyes and said, "Brother Nian, are you joking at the little brother?" How can there be no boundaries in heaven and on the ground! Wen Tongxiao bluntly gave Lu Chengyu this sentence.

Lu Chengyu laughed loudly, sat down on the rattan chair again, and said: "Brother Wen said that Lu is boundless, and Lu himself feels that he is boundless!" ”

Wen Tongxiao was surprised, and said, "What the hell is going on!" What does Brother Lu want to express! ”

Lu Chengyu saw that Wen Tongxiao couldn't hold back a little, so he opened the conversation and said: "Lu someone had a strange dream, dreaming that Liu Min was riding a big horse and galloping on the grassland; Xia Guan rode a horse to chase after him, but he woke up before he could catch up with the dream! ”

Wen Tongxiao heard Lu Chengyu sing the name Liu Min, and asked dumbfoundedly: "Who is Liu Min?" Man or woman? How could Brother Lu dream of this person! ”

Lu Chengyu couldn't stop laughing, looked at Wen Tongxiao and said, "Brother Wen guess whether Liu Min is a man or a woman?" ”

Wen Tongxiao saw that Lu Chengyu mentioned that Liu Min's eyes would emit a strange light, and he seemed to understand something; The fox asked suspiciously: "Liu Min is a woman......

Before he finished speaking, he was dull for a while, and suddenly said excitedly: "So Brother Nian didn't marry a lady for a long time, is it to wait for Liu Min, a woman?" Liu Min is Brother Nian's dream lover or a realistic person! ”

Lu Chengyu pondered for a moment, raised his arm and said: "Liu Min is a person in reality, and he only dreamed of her after five years of being a magistrate; Since I dreamed of her, I had to come and look for her, this is a dream search and a search for someone! ”

Wen Tongxiao was shocked, and his mouth squeaked: "I see! It seems that Brother Lu is really a lover! ”

Lu Chengyu sighed and said: "Lu and Liu Min have not seen him for five years after they separated from the oak forest, and there has been no news from the lower officials for five years; Now there is such a dream, whether it is true or false, and we have to hurry to verify! ”

After a pause, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Five years ago, Xiaguan and Liu Min returned to Liangzhou after breaking up in the oak forest, but I have always been thinking about this seven-year-old girl in my heart!" ”

"Liu Min is a seven-year-old girl!" Wen Tongxiao was stunned and asked: "The seven-year-old girl deserves to be so worried about Governor Lu!" ”

"The county magistrate only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other!" Lu Chengyu smiled and said, "When Lu met Liu Min, she was only seven years old, but the seven-year-old girl actually saved two people; One is Grandpa Fire, and the other is Buffalo Fire! ”

Wen Tongxiao was silent, staring at Lu Chengyu without blinking.

Lu Chengyu picked up the previous words and said: "The fire grandfather and fire buffalo that Liu Min rescued were injured by Pan Ziwen, a slave of the Lu Mansion, and Lu was worried in his hometown in the oak forest at that time; Seeing that Grandpa Huo and Huo Buffalo father and son were not lightly injured, they hurriedly sent people to the Sanfotang Chinese Medicine Hall for rescue, but Mr. Yun Meng, the owner of the Chinese Medicine Hall, announced that the two were dead! ”

He cleared his throat and raised his voice: "The slaves of the Lu Mansion beat the common people to death, and according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, they will be beheaded; Lu's official position will also be lost, and the lower officials are anxious like ants in a hot pot; But at the critical time, Liu Min said that Grandpa Huo and the Fire Buffalo could be saved, and later they were saved; Therefore, it is said that Lu's official position was kept by Liu Min! ”

"It's such an amazing thing!" Wen Tongxiao was surprised and said: "Seven-year-old Liu Min can save two people who were declared dead by the owner of the Chinese medicine hall, and it is worth it for Brother Nian to care about her!" ”

Lu Chengyu sighed and said: "After Lu retained his official position, he returned to the Liangzhou Tong judgment position and sent Ma Xiao to visit Liu Min in the cypress forest; But the fire buffalo said that she and Grandpa Fire were missing, and this disappearance was five years! ”。

"I see!" Wen Tongxiao empathized and said: "No wonder Brother Lu attaches importance to a dream, it turns out that Liu Min appeared in your dream five years after his disappearance!" Oh yes, where is Liu Min riding a horse? ”

"The place where Liu Min rides a horse is related to the grassland, at least it is a place for horse grazing!" Lu Chengyu said bluntly: "After Lu had this dream, he thought she would be in Chengdu Mansion at first, so he disguised himself as a bangbang guest and looked for it in the alleys of the city; Yang Heyi, sent by Brother Wen, came and mentioned the Qingshichuan Horse Farm and the grassland; Xia Guan immediately remembered the scene of Liu Min riding a horse in his dream, so he and General Ma Xiao led 500 cavalry to arrive......"
