Chapter 299: Returning Home with Beauty (Part II)
The grass grows and the warbler flies, the warm breeze blows lightly, and it is already the April season of late spring.
With the advent of spring, there are more and more people who go out far away, and every day, the official road on the road is full of pedestrians, cars and horses, so lively.
However, on the official road from Zhejiang all the way north to Jiangsu, there is a team of three horses and one cart that looks much more dazzling than ordinary people in a hurry. Because the horses on which the three knights rode were unusually tall and supernatural, at first glance they were useful elite horses in the army. And the carriage looked bigger than ordinary carriages and horses, and even the horses pulling the carriage were taller.
Pedestrians on foot or in carts driven by old oxen often pass by with envy. Even many people will whisper about the identity of the other party behind them and themselves, and come to the conclusion that the young man who looks handsome in the middle and has an extraordinary bearing is either an official of the imperial court, or a young master in the family of a giant high-ranking official.
This was not only because of their horse attire, but also because the two men accompanying him looked unusual. Although there are only two of them, they give people a different kind of pressure, and they are obviously good hands.
However, their guess was wrong, this young man was not the son of a family, let alone an official of the imperial court, but a former Hangzhou general judge Lu Jin, who had just been dismissed by the imperial court and rushed back to his hometown! As for the carriage that followed them......
Lu Zhen sometimes turned his head to look at the car with the curtain lower, and his face would show a strange look, not knowing whether he was happy or worried. Because in that car, it was Yun Yan and Qingwu, a pair of master and servant who had been rescued from Wu Miao's hands before.
Originally, after rescuing the two of them that day, Lu Zhen only planned to let them leave. Unexpectedly, Yun Yan had nowhere to go under the pretext that she was weak, and as a weak woman, she was afraid that someone would treat her two badly, so she relied on him. Even if she had taken back her belongings from the boss of Yunshuijian later, she stayed in the courtyard rented by Lu Zhen until he left Hangzhou, and she rented a carriage to follow.
A charming beauty actually seems to have fallen in love with him, and always follows behind, which makes Lu Jin's vanity as a man greatly satisfied. But at the same time, he also muttered in his heart, because he really couldn't figure out why Bai Yunyan had such a soft spot for him.
If you had been in the past, you would have been able to find an excuse that you were an official of the imperial court and had a great future. But now, he has been dismissed, and there is really no strong point that can make an Oiran so unabandoned. As for helping her before, could it be that women at this time are paying attention to nothing to repay and promise each other?
Perhaps the only reasonable explanation is that she wants to use her name to avoid Wu Miao's persecution. After all, this time because of Wu Jihei's death, Wu Miao hated Yun Yan to the core, and as long as she had the opportunity, she would definitely not be spared! Therefore, leaving Hangzhou with Lu Jin seems to be a good self-preservation strategy.
But in this way, Lu Zhen felt a little headache.
Originally, it was quite difficult to "return to his hometown" this time, because only he knew that in fact, he was not the real Lu Jin, and he didn't know how to deal with those relatives and clansmen when he arrived in his hometown. There is also the matter of Chu Yunrong.
Although she still doesn't know what went wrong on her side, Lu Zhen can already imagine that something must have happened in her family, and she seems to have the intention of separating herself and Chu Yunrong. For this woman he really has feelings for, Lu Zhen will definitely not let go, so when he returns to his hometown this time, the first thing he has to do is to take Chu Yunrong back to his side!
But now, I actually want to bring such an Oiran beauty back to my hometown, which is easy to say. Once it reaches the ears of outsiders, I'm afraid that the gossip will rise, and if Chu Yunrong knew about it, what would he think of himself?
These many concerns naturally made Lu Zhen feel embarrassed. But he couldn't really harden his heart to refuse Yun Yan, so in the end he could only bite the bullet and take her back to his hometown in embarrassment.
Speaking of which, others are all returning to their hometowns in fine clothes, but he is returning to his hometown with beauty after being dismissed, which always makes him feel a little weird.
However, this matter is not the most troublesome to Lu Jin, after all, this is just a personal affair between children and daughters. What really made Lu Zhen frown all the way, and what he was thinking about was one thing he knew when he left Hangzhou.
was seriously injured because of saving people, and Zhu Chang had been recuperating at home some time ago. Lu Zhen also went to visit him several times and talked with him openly and honestly. In the end, he also told the truth, as a Jianghu person, Zhu Chang was already afraid of the darkness and conspiracy of officialdom.
In addition, he felt that he had cut off an arm and was no longer able to help Lu Jin, so he said goodbye to them. I plan to stay at home and become a nurse.
In this regard, although Lu Zhen was a little reluctant and sorry in his heart, he could only accept such a fact in the end. After all, Lin Qing died because of him, and he couldn't let Zhu Chang be in danger for himself again. In comparison, he is much safer at home.
However, the current situation of the Yu family is also a little bad, when he was about to leave Hangzhou and go there to say goodbye, he learned a shocking news - Yu Yanzhao, the old lady of the Yu family, because of his advanced age and the disturbance of the Japanese Kou, he was so sick that he couldn't afford to be ill.
Although the Yu family did not explain their words, from their words and deeds, Lu Zhen could still clearly feel their uneasiness. Obviously, they can also imagine that this time, the old man's situation is not optimistic, and it is very likely that he will go west.
When this situation was confirmed, Lu Jinwei really felt a little heavy and flustered. is not only because of the relationship between the old lady and herself, but also helped herself when she was in trouble. More because he is Yu Qian's father!
For people in this era, the death of parents can be regarded as the greatest tragedy. Those who are children must keep filial piety when they receive the news, and those who are officials have to resign and return to their hometowns, and keep filial piety in their hometown for three years, which is for Ding worry!
And now, it has been 12 years of orthodoxy, if Yu Qian really follows the etiquette and returns to his hometown in Hangzhou to keep filial piety for his father, who will turn the tide of the disaster two years later? Without Yu Qian stepping forward at the critical moment, would there still be people in the Ming court who could stand up desperately and firmly command the army and the army under the city to fight to the death?
Is this the so-called butterfly effect? Because of the appearance of his own traveler, it led to a change in history. If this is the case and the consequences of the Tumubao change are even more serious, then Lu Zhen will feel that he is really guilty.
It is precisely because of this idea that along the way, Lu Zhen has always been depressed and worried. Although he knew that the court still had the hand to win back Yu Qian, would they do it? And will Yu Qian ignore filial piety, and would rather be despised by the people and think about the country wholeheartedly?
This point, Lu Zhen is really difficult to judge. Moreover, this matter is not something that he can control as an idle person who has been dismissed.
Thinking of this, Lu Jin unconsciously sighed heavily again on the horse. I thought I could do something for the Ming Dynasty with my enthusiasm, but it backfired!
"Miss, I always look at Lu Gongzi all the way, but because we have to follow him to Suzhou?" In the carriage, the little girl danced lightly and raised a trace of the curtain to look out, and when she saw Lu Jin's appearance, she unconsciously pursed her mouth and said, "He is really, why can't you see that Miss has a piece of your heart for him?" ”
was told by the people around her that she was in her heart, which made Yun Yan's pretty face red: "You little girl, don't talk nonsense, what is not your mind." Didn't I have to go to Suzhou with him for our safety? ”
"Miss, don't lie to me, I know you, you look at Lu Gongzi's eyes are always different from others, you must like him."
"You little girl...... "After scolding nonchalantly, Yun Yan said a little later: "That, am I really so obvious?" How can you see it so easily? ”
"Well, I can tell it at a glance anyway. Miss, did you like him because he helped you and drowned that evil boy out of anger for you? ”
"Of course not." Yun Yan shook her head lightly and denied: "It was on the boat that day, his song and that poem ......" At this point, she unconsciously remembered that night, the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" that knocked on her heart and the poem that made people feel intoxicated.
Only people who are deeply in love can play this song and chant this poem. And this is exactly the lover she Yunyan has always hoped to meet.
And when he helped Yun Yan this time and rescued her from the fire pit, although she knew that doing so would cause criticism and felt contemptuous, she still chased after her without hesitation.
I only hope that the affectionate man in front of him can realize his deep affection for him as soon as possible......
"But Miss, now Lu Gongzi's attitude ......," Qingwu said with some uneasiness.
"His current sorrow is not actually due to me, but has other difficulties. And it should be related to a trip to Yu's home before leaving the city that day. It's a pity that I can't guess what he's sad about, otherwise I could have comforted him a few words. Yun Yan said a little helplessly, and there was some self-pity in her tone.
"Hey......" Seeing this, Qingwu didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh with her.
At this time, Yun Yan, who was silent, suddenly moved in her heart, thinking that this might be an opportunity for herself and Lu Zhen to poke open the layer of window paper!
This group of people had their own thoughts, but they were obviously a little careless, and they didn't know where they came from, and behind them, there were always people following from afar, looking for an opportunity.
"Dharma Protector, when are we going to do it?" In the distance, someone in the group asked in a low voice.
The person he asked was wearing a hat on his head, completely hiding his face under the wide hat, and when he heard the words, he just said coldly: "No hurry. This kid has too many thoughts, so it's better to guard against it. Otherwise, you may repeat the mistake of the ten-mile shop that day......"
