Lu You was silent, as if he had an understanding.

Yang Congyi then said: "For another example, for my brother to be afraid of water, rivers, lakes and seas dare not go, but three years ago, someone suddenly found my brother and asked me to supervise the construction of Huiyi, build a fleet, and go to the South and Western Oceans to return to Yi, if my brother is afraid of water and does not dare to take this errand, then I am not here at this time, and I am likely to have returned to my hometown to hunt and farm." Brother Wei overcame his weakness of fear of water, and only then did he successfully complete the ocean return for the imperial court, and then he was sent another send. This is all related to overcoming oneself, unable to overcome one's own weaknesses and shortcomings, not only can not go far, but it is impossible to outperform others and reach the end. It is the truth of winning over others and winning over oneself. ”

After a pause, seeing that Lu You was silent, he said again: "Many times it is more difficult to win than to win, and when Brother Lu arrives in Lin'an, after wandering in this world for a period of time, if you don't lose yourself, you will soon understand the truth of this sentence." ”

"The little brother has been taught!" Lu You raised his hand and thanked him.

Yang Congyi nodded and smiled.

Lu You was not happy to leave his hometown this time, and the subsequent encounter was also bumpy, he had to say something to him, give him some hints and hints first, so as not to give up on himself when he encountered difficulties later, and waste his great youth talent in the countryside.

The sun at noon in May is unusually hot, and the official road is lined with large green rice fields, and there is no shade to cool off.

The horses pulling the cart were panting hotly, and their mouths and noses were "poofing", and it was estimated that it would not be long before they had to pick up their hooves and lie down on the side of the road.

Yang Congyi and Lu You also had hot beads of sweat rolling down, raised their sleeves, and wiped them again.

After persisting for half an hour, I finally saw a gazebo.

In the heat of summer, the only way to face the scorching heat is to hide and avoid direct sunlight.

The carriage stopped in the shade, and the group entered the gazebo.

There is a post station about ten miles ahead, even if you rush when the sun is about to set, you can stay at the post station tonight, and everyone is not afraid that they will not be able to wait for Lu You's servants to repair the carriage and arrive.

The four of them sat idly in the pavilion and listened to Yang Congyi talk about the experience of returning to Yi from the ocean and the trip to Guangnan of the Xuanwei Army.

More than an hour later, a horse-drawn carriage came rapidly from east to west.

Lu You always paid attention to the carriage and pedestrians on the official road, and when he saw the carriage, he immediately greeted him, got up and ran out of the pavilion, waved at the carriage, and shouted: "I'm here!" ”

The carriage answered, shook the reins in his hand, galloped over, and came to a steady stop under the gazebo.

One person jumped off the carriage, stepped forward quickly, and said hurriedly: "Little master, are you okay?" ”

Lu You raised his arms and said, "It's okay." ”

"Didn't the old slave tell you to wait where you were? I didn't come here much. I couldn't find you, and I almost killed the old slave! The man said, the corners of his eyes were slightly red and a little moist.

Lu You smiled: "It's okay, isn't it okay for me?" I'm so old that you don't have to worry about everything. I just met an old man, so I followed them for a ride first, and came to this pavilion to wait for you. ”

"Little master, where are you going in the future, leave a message for the old slave, if it weren't for the old slave's temporary intention to rush forward for a while, he would have run back to Shanyin to ask the old lady for his guilt." The man had tears hanging down in the corners of his eyes, very aggrieved.

Lu You said a little impatiently: "I said that I won't let you come, you want to come, it's not too late to go back now!" ”

The subordinate said aggrievedly: "It's the old lady who doesn't worry about the little master going out alone, so let the old slave follow to take care of it, the little master is here, how dare the old slave go." ”

Lu You said: "Okay, don't talk about it." With that, he walked towards the gazebo.

The man followed behind.

When they arrived at the pavilion, Lu You said to Yang Congyi and his wife: "Brother Yang, sister-in-law, the younger brother's carriage has been repaired, and it's time to say goodbye and set off." ”

Yang Congyi got up and said, "After resting for a long time, we are also leaving, let's go to Lin'an together." ”

Lu You nodded and walked out of the pavilion with Yang Congyi and the others.

Several people boarded the carriage one after another, the reins flicked, the horses galloped, the wheels turned, and went straight to Lin'an.

That night, the group did not rest at the post station, but rushed directly to the Qiantang River and stayed in the inn.

After washing, most of my fatigue is gone.

Yang Congyi ordered a table of food and invited Lu You to dinner.

After dinner, the master and servant went back to rest early, and Yang Congyi stayed with Lu You to chat until the second watch before returning to their rooms.

During the small talk, Yang Congyi learned that Lu You and Tang Wan had separated three years ago, that is, a few months after they met in Jinghu Pavilion.

Before Lu You and his wife separated, his father died suddenly, and he went to tea and cool, and the personal relationship accumulated when he was an official in the past gradually faded. The ancestors of the Lu family were officials for the last generation, but there were several men in Lu You's generation, but no one won fame, because Lu's mother was angry about it. And Lu You is quite talented among the brothers, and he is still young, so he can still be cultivated, so Lu's mother forced Lu You to study hard in order to gain fame, enter the official career, and renew the glory of the Lu family.

However, Lu You and Tang Wan have known each other since childhood, and they have a good relationship, and they either chant poems or go out on outings every day, and they don't care about fame at all, and since they got married, they rarely enter their huge library building.

And this Lu family library is extraordinary, it is one of the three major private collections of the people at that time, when the imperial court crossed to the south, the royal collection was missing, the emperor ordered Shaoxing Mansion to go to the Lu library to copy more than 13,000 volumes of classics, which shows the richness of the Lu family's book collection.

Guarding such a world-famous library, but the descendants can't earn fame and leave a laughing stock in vain, how can Lu's mother not be sad and angry?

Especially when Lu's mother saw Lu You judging the two of them before and after marriage, she was dedicated to studying when she was young, but after she got married, she struggled with Tang Wan all day long, and she had no time to take care of her exam homework and become an official, and completely left her fame and great cause behind. In addition, Lu You's father died suddenly, and the Lu family suddenly cut off contact with the imperial court, thinking that the Lu family has been famous for generations, Lu You's grandfather was a former official to Shangshu Youcheng, and his father also served as a transfer judge, but no one in his generation has a meritorious reputation, the Lu family is declining, but there is no one in charge who can revive the Lu family, Lu's mother was anxious and angry, first found Lu You to talk to Tang Wan, and then directly forced Lu You to divorce his wife.

Lu You is a filial son, his father is gone, and his mother's words cannot be ignored, so he can only divorce his wife in tears.

After this difficulty, Lu You's heart gradually converged, and a few months later, Lu's mother married him another family, and now there are two sons in the family.

Since then, Lu You began to study hard to prepare for the exam, seeking fame, and this time he entered Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination in the future.

After chatting with Lu You, Yang Congyi knew that there were twists and turns, and he didn't sigh.

And he is also very envious of Lu You's once illustrious family background, especially his family's countless book collections, with one of the three major folk library buildings, if he can't get fame, it is indeed a shame for the Lu family.

After all, no matter how prominent the Lu family was in the past, if there were no descendants to go up, it would inevitably decay in a few years, and it would disappear after one or two generations.

If he knew that his fate was in the hands of Qin Hui and that he could not enter the office for nearly ten years, he didn't know how he would feel.

Yang Congyi wanted to remind him several times that he didn't have to take all the exams too seriously in the future, retain a little bit of power, and don't show his edge too much, so as not to attract the jealousy of others and make a hindrance, but he was worried that if he really listened to himself, he would resent himself if he fell into Sun Shan and missed his fame.

In this life, many things are doomed, even if he reminds him, with Lu's mother urging him to go all out, and with the world-famous Lu family library as his companion, he may not necessarily listen, and it is likely that he will know that it will attract envy, but he still has to win the first place. Sometimes it's for the bones, sometimes it's for the sake of earning a breath.

Yang Congyi returned to the room, his heart was uneven, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.

On the side of the Qiantang River, the wind and waves are calm, and there is nothing to do all night.

Early the next morning, several people had breakfast, chartered a boat by the river, took two carriages, and crossed the Qiantang River together.

When they arrived on the other side, before their carriage approached Lin'an City, Lu You got out of the carriage.

I only heard him say: "The younger brother has elders outside the city, so he needs to go to visit, so he won't enter the city for the time being." Brother Yang, let's not pass by for the time being, and it will be convenient to look for you in the future. ”

Yang Congyi jumped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "It's okay, since the elders are here, you should visit first." Brother Wei should not leave Lin'an in the near future, and when you make arrangements, you can come to the palace to find me. ”

Lu You said with a smile: "Okay, as long as it's convenient for Brother Yang, the younger brother will go to look for you when he settles down." Goodbye! After speaking, he raised his hand and saluted.

"Goodbye!" Yang Congyi raised his hand to return the salute.

The two got into the car separately and parted ways at the entrance of the road, and Yang Congyi drove the carriage straight up to Yongjinmen.

This time, which lasted more than a month, he finally returned to Lin'an from Quanzhou, but his top priority now is not to return to the palace to restore his life, but to settle down and clean the dust first.

I don't know if the shopkeeper in the west of the city helps to take care of the cleanup, and he has been away from Lin'an for nearly two months, and he doesn't know what the situation of the house he bought is now, so it is inconvenient to rashly bring the dust over.

So Yang Congyi didn't have much choice, so he could only drive to Qiantang County to find the shopkeeper Fang first.

After being checked by the guards at the gate of the city, the carriage entered the city smoothly, and then went straight along the avenue to the vicinity of the Qiantang Gate in the north of the city.

The carriage stopped outside the inn, and as soon as Yang Congyi entered the door of the inn alone, a shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him.

"Where's Shopkeeper Fang?" Yang Congyi asked.

The shopkeeper is a little inexplicable, this is still a regular customer, as soon as he enters the inn, he calls the shopkeeper, he doesn't dare to say anything, just say "wait a minute", and went to the backyard.

After a while, I saw Fang An coming out of the backyard, and when he saw Yang Congyi, he immediately stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile: "Lord Yang is back, I haven't seen you for two months, and my lord is getting more and more energetic!" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "I see that the shopkeeper Fang is full of red light, and he has made a fortune recently." ”
