Before the night, Su Yang'er went to bed in the bath, she didn't recognize her life, and she could fall asleep quickly if she changed to a new place.

It's just that Xiaoling is still a little afraid of her because of her tantrum in the evening, so she is not as close as usual, and deliberately leans against the edge of the bed.

The Su family has traveled thousands of miles to this point, and finally settled down, a small mountain city, and the moon is empty.

It was the dead of night, and everyone in the Su family was full of tiredness and rested.

is different from the cold Su family, at this time, the back office of Yixing County Government is in a lively time.

Lu Zai, the local magistrate of the county, is setting up a banquet in the living quarters, and will invite distant relatives who came from afar to congratulate him on his son, you need to know that Lu Zai lives a frugal life, not extravagant, although there is only a fresh fish, two dishes of seasonal vegetables, a bowl of steamed yam, and a pot of warm wine on the table, so three dishes and one soup, for him is already very sincere, even if Shangguan comes, he can only put these on the table at most.

At this time, in addition to Lu Zai, there was also a middle-aged woman and a young man sitting at the banquet.

The middle-aged woman has a plump figure and a generous demeanor, but her appearance is uncommendable, this woman is Lu Zai's wife Tang; This Mrs. Lu had just given birth, and it was inconvenient to get together with the young man for a long time, so she only talked two words, and then returned to the bed to rest under the persuasion of her husband.

And the young man Lang Jun was handsome, he saw that Mrs. Lu was leaving, so he hurriedly got up and watched her leave, so he dared to sit down.

This person was the first to arrive at Lu Jingyuan in Yixing.

But for some reason, he was able to meet this old uncle at this time.

I only heard Lu Zai say: "His majesty is busy with official business, and he has neglected his virtuous nephew." ”

Hearing his greetings, Lu Jingyuan responded: "Uncle is a parent, diligent and loves the people, which is really a blessing for Yixing." ”

At this time, he changed his face from Su Yang's childhood, and he really had some of the demeanor of a son.

It's just that although he said so, he secretly thought in his heart: "Where did you come from so many official affairs in a small county?" ”

Lu Zai seemed to see his duplicity, and said with a smile: "Then Ling Zun is good lately?" ”

When Lu Jingyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "It was originally very good, but now I don't know..."

Lu Zai frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Lu Jingyuan was stunned and said: "My nephew heard on the road that our army was ambushed by Liaokou and defeated, and the battle on the front line is stalemate. ”

Lu Zai nodded and said, "I have also heard about this matter, could it be that the old general is also in the army?" ”

Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said, "My father was still at home when my nephew left, but I don't know where his old man is at this time. ”

"I see." Lu Zai listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Virtuous nephew don't need to worry, since the general is still at home when you leave, then these ten days of hard work, even if you march day and night, you will not go deep into Liao, not to mention that Hu Liao is now in a downward position, even if you win by luck for a while, it will not be able to hurt the general of our army." ”

Listening to him as an old general, it seems that the two are not related to each other, but just happen to be estranged from each other with the same surname.

Lu Jingyuan didn't even care when he heard it, because the two of them were distant relatives, but they just had the same great-great ancestor.

Lu Zai's ancestor Lu Zhen was a jinshi in the five years of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu, and Lu Jingyuan's ancestor Lu Qi was his brother.

Lu Zhen's branch has been from literature for generations, and Lu Qi's branch has been martial arts for three generations, and Lu Jingyuan and Lu Zai have no blood relationship at all.

In terms of this kinship, in terms of it, it is even farther than Su Yang'er and Su Weng.

Moreover, Lu Zai was not a soldier for a long time, and he was not willing to accept the promotion until recent years, and he was added to Huaixi to promote Changping, specializing in grain transportation.

Father Lu then remembered that there was such a relative in his family.

It's a pity that not long after Lu Zai became a sergeant, he was implicated and was demoted to Yixing to become the magistrate of this small city.

However, Lu Jingyuan knew that this person was highly regarded by some big figures in the court, and it was expected that he would be reinstated soon.

When he listened to him analyze his father's situation, he still felt a little relieved, and said: "Uncle, with your words, my nephew is much more relieved, by the way, there is also something that my father entrusted me to give to you to congratulate you on your happy son." ”

While speaking, he took out a ball of things wrapped in oilcloth from his arms, this package was boxy, and he couldn't see what was in the bread, Lu Zai saw it, and said directly: "It's not proper, you can come, that is, to show your fist and fist, how can I accept the old general's things, please take it back." ”

This Lu Zai is a clear character, Lu Jingyuan saw it and smiled: "This is not a valuable thing, it is the Liao book that my father obtained from the enemy's Tibetan Wu, and my father heard that you like to collect books, so I specially handed it over to you to express my heart." ”

"Liaoben?" Lu Zai's eyes lit up when he heard this, he likes to collect books, and he is also famous for his love of books.

Books were precious in the Song Dynasty, and although movable type printing was available, the situation of expensive paper was not reduced in those days.

Although Lu Zai was happy to see the hunt for a while, but his heart was ridiculous, this person was warm and cold, before he left the army, he didn't see Lu's father so attentive, but at this time, it was congratulations and a book gift.

wanted to refuse again at the moment, Song Ru was like this, stubborn and stubborn.

But Lu Jingyuan said at this time: "Uncle, it's a shame to say, the little nephew is the third generation of martial arts, and the little nephew also wants to join the scholar, but it's a pity that he is not a shallow learner, and when my father orders me to visit you, I need to ask you for advice seriously, and he also said that as long as you can get a point of knowledge, the little nephew will be of infinite use in this life." ”

His mouth, which can make Su Yang'er speechless, really not cover it, and if he doesn't, he will say it outside.

Listening to his fart, Lu Zai was also a little itchy by what he said.

"Thinking that this general III, a butcher full of men, wants to cultivate a scholar today, Gaozu is also pleased."

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately asked, "Then what is on this Liaoben?" ”

Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said: "My father instructed that before it was properly delivered to my uncle, I was not allowed to open the package and check it, not to mention that the little nephew did not understand Liao, so I really didn't know what was written in the book, and I hadn't even seen the appearance of the book." ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Zai was undoubtedly more moved, but he still hesitated, if he accepted it, then this family would really admit it, even if he said that the same surname is both fate, and not being close is also a relative, but he really doesn't want to have a deep relationship with this distant relative of the butcher.

At this time, Lu Jingyuan said bewildermently: "Uncle, take it apart and take a look, the little nephew also wants to see what kind of strange book it is?" ”

The Liao book is mostly a translation, and the biggest difference from the Song book is that the Liao book has many notes, and the notes are written by the literati in ancient times.

Annotations serve a variety of purposes, ranging from personal understanding of the original text to complementing the translation.

In ancient times, when information exchange was not developed, mutual transmission was also a form of communication among literati.

But it is precisely because of this that Liaoben was forbidden to circulate in the Song Realm for a long time, but in the past ten years, the season has been scarce, and the extinction of Liao has become a certainty, and this decree will not take long to be abolished.

Lu Zai has a collection of 10,000 volumes, in the Khitan language, although there is no Jinshi body, but it is very famous in the Shilin, and he is promoted to the scholar with his talent.

However, the Liao books in his collection are also extremely scarce, and those who can be hidden in Wu by the Liao people are not ordinary.

At the moment, under Lu Jingyuan's bewitchment, he thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but reach out to open the package.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan secretly smiled a hint of triumph, as long as Lu Zai opened the book, the relatives of the two families would be recognized.

He said that he was here to visit, but it was better to say that he was here to climb the relationship, don't look at Lu Zai's depreciation to a small magistrate at this time, but as long as there are those big people who value him, it is only a matter of time before this person soars.

But just as Lu Zai's hand had already touched the package, a maid interrupted his movements.

"Master, Madam asked me to bring Xiao Langjun here and show it to the prince..."
