Chapter 410: Worship in the Central Committee of Wu County Mansion
(Before the chapter, I recommend the work of the trail, the traditional martial arts "Dragon and Phoenix Mistake")
The north boat goes south, but it is not difficult to walk. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info this trip Luo Yan still followed the waterway of the year and went down the river.
In the spring, the Grand Canal is not busy, and the boats are very stable on the water. Although it was the first time for Changle to go far away, it was the first time to take such a long boat. But with Luo Yan's help, there was no sign of seasickness.
On the contrary, it was because of her curiosity about the outside of Chang'an City that she dragged Luo Yan out of the cabin, leaned on the half-human-high trunk, and watched the thousands of miles of flowing water with interest.
"The father said that Emperor Yang of Sui was extremely poor and extravagant, and he did not care about the people's strength. Not only did he build the palace, but he also levied conscription to dig the canal because of his own selfishness, so that the former dynasty II died. I've always wondered how magnificent the Grand Canal really is, but when I saw it today, I realized that it was. β
Changle listened to the oral tradition of the mountains and rivers in the palace for most of the scenery in the outside world, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Gently stroking Changle's hair, Luo Yan smiled.
Li Shimin admittedly said a lot of reasons for crowning the Tang Emperor, but it was just to put gold on his own face. The former sentence is correct, but the latter sentence is too biased.
Looking at Changle's eyes that wanted to give her an answer, Luo Yan read faintly:
"The end of the Sui River is this river, and it has been thousands of miles away.
If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit. β
Luo Yan didn't dare to say such a comment out loud. You must know that he is still in a sensitive period, and there are more or less people sent by Li Shimin on the ship. If you tout Emperor Yang of Sui like this, wouldn't you be asking for trouble for yourself.
Fortunately, between husband and wife, there is no need to be so vigilant.
And Changle was obviously stunned when he heard Luo Yan's evaluation. The meaning of this poem is very easy to understand, and it is basically literal and does not even need to be paraphrased. Even that naΓ―ve face showed a lot of consternation, and then this consternation turned into worry.
"Husband, if you say this, aren't you afraid of being convicted for your words?"
Although Changle tightened his face as much as he could, pretending to be a warning, he still couldn't scare Luo Yan. Instead, I saw Luo Yan laughing and said: "I have been thinking about a question when I have been reading history during this time. If the original Emperor Yang was less extravagant and spent his life doing everything he did, I don't know what kind of emperor he would become. β
Seeing that he couldn't scare Luo Yan, Changle also put out his thoughts of advising Luo Yan, and immediately asked, "What kind of emperor will he become?" β
"If fewer palaces are built, the treasury will be full; If it takes five or six years to divide the relationship between Silla Baekje and Goguryeo, then it will not bury hundreds of thousands of Han men in their homeland; In another five years, the Grand Canal will be dug step by step. Think about it, when he did these things when he was fifty years old, would the former Sui still perish? β
Luo Yan's words made Changle a little dizzy when he heard it. But after thinking about it, it really made her sweat. If it can only be like that, where is there something about her father now?
Changle couldn't help but continue along with Luo Yan's words: "Sure enough, if that's the case, the history books will definitely say that he is a heroic lord who thinks he is eloquent. β
Nodding, Luo Yan was silent, and he didn't know what to think. And Changle also seemed to think of something because of Fang Cai's assumptions. The small world of the two fell into silence for a while.
The biggest advantage of smooth sailing is that the speed of travel is much faster.
No, the journey under the moon in the boat is only half a month, and it has already arrived in Suzhou. Dozens of miles further forward is Lu Deming's hometown Wu County.
Luo Yan didn't have to worry about not knowing where Lu Deming's hometown was.
In Jiangnan, Lu Deming was originally an existence comparable to a half-saint, not to mention that Li Shimin also enshrined Lu Deming as the founder of Wu County. In Wu County, Suzhou, there is only one such lord. If he can't just ask someone for directions, it will be a bit of an insult to his teacher's reputation.
Sure enough, when the ship docked, a group of servants removed all the belongings from the ship. After hiring a few carriages, they just said to the coachman the Lu family of the male of Wu County, and the coachmen invited Luo Yan and the others into the carriage with a look of reverence and slowly walked towards the city.
The Lu family was the wang family of Wu County during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in addition to a Confucian sect and a thorn history in this dynasty, it is even more amazing.
When Luo Yan accompanied Changle to get out of the carriage, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the magnificent mansion in front of him.
Obediently, people say that Chang'an is rich, and when I came to Jiangnan, I knew that it was not far behind here.
Luo Yan's Chengguo Mansion is also big, I don't want this Lu Mansion to be bigger. Although there are no decorations such as stone lions in front of the door, the simple two words "Lu Mansion", Luo Yan recognized at a glance that this was the handwriting of Yu Shinan, who was the master of the dynasty. The handwriting is exactly the same as that of Lu Deming's house in Beijing.
There is a memorial arch in front of the door, which is engraved with Li Shimin's various praises for Lu Deming.
I don't have to say it, just this gate is enough to make those officials in Beijing covetous.
It is convenient to enter and exit different Chang'an, after all, this is Lu Deming's home, and you still need to be notified when you go in. The servants had already sent Luo Yan's name card in, just waiting for the people in the palace to come out to greet him.
Since the expiration of Lu Dun's filial piety years ago, the court appointed him to go to other places to serve as assassins. Now guarding the Lu Mansion is Lu Deming's elder brother, Lu Dunyi.
Hearing that it was Lu Deming's student visiting, Lu Dunyi didn't care too much at first. Over the years, there have been more people who claim to be Lu Deming's disciples, and at the beginning, the Lu family was hospitable. But after discovering a lot of impostors, Lu Dunyi became a little loose. As long as someone comes, leave it all to your son to deal with.
So when he saw the famous post, Lu Dunyi didn't read the content in it, and said to his son who was reading very casually: "Zhengming, go and take a look." I don't know where the scholars came to pay their respects to the uncle. β
Lu Zhengming has done this kind of thing hundreds of times in the past two years, took over the famous post from his father, and read it carefully.
Lu Dunyi can not be serious, but he has to go to welcome guests, and he can't be lazy.
At this look, Lu Zhengming's heart began to beat wildly. The leg that was originally going to step out was immediately retracted, and he said to Lu Dunyi very cautiously: "Grandpa, this person, I'm afraid that Grandpa needs to greet him in person." If possible, it's best to invite someone from the big house. β
Hearing this, Lu Dunyi was a little surprised.
His son has gradually begun to take charge of things in recent years, and he is in charge of many affairs in the family. It's that the county order of Wu County is here, and his son can handle it well. Could it be that the history of Suzhou is here today?
Seeing that his grandfather looked confused, Lu Zhengming sent the name card to him and smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, let's take a closer look at whose name this post is." β
Famous post? That's right, it's the name post. Lu Dunyi hurriedly opened the thin piece of paper, only to see that it was written in a very dignified font: "Lu Gong Deming, Chengguo Gong Luo Yan." β
This is a famous post specially made by Luo Yan here, putting the identity of Lu Deming's disciple in front to show respect for the master. Nowhere else, there has never been.
Lu Dunyi was suddenly a little anxious. This time he is really Lu Deming's disciple, and now when the people of Wu County boast to the outside world, they will definitely bring a sentence: "We Wu County are males, but we have taught a young man like Cheng Guogong." "Boasting to the extent of Xingtou, he will also read the sacrificial text that Luo Yan wrote to Lu Deming at the beginning.
Now that the real person is in front of his own door, he almost copes with it as an ordinary person. If you let the distant brother of the long house know, you can't scold yourself to death.
"Quick, please ask Mrs. and Miss Nagafang to go to the main hall. Zhengming, come with me to greet Chengguogong. Lu Dunyi arranged it like this, but the person had already walked out of the door.
The house was in a hurry, so that it didn't make Luo Yan wait for long. However, when the incense was half burned, I saw the middle door of the Lu Mansion open widely, and a middle-aged man with a seven-foot figure and gorgeous clothes walked out with a slightly thin young man in green clothes.
Seeing Luo Yan standing at the front of the crowd with Changle, he walked up and arched his hand: "The opposite side is Cheng Guogong, I am Lu Dunyi, the second room of the Lu family, and I am the head of the Lu Mansion." After a tiring journey, he also invited Chengguo Gong to enter the house to bathe and rest. β
Lu Deming hadn't told Luo Yan about his hometown before, but as soon as he heard Lu Dunyi's name, he knew that he was a person from Lu Dunxin's generation.
The elders are respected, and Luo Yan received this worship, but he didn't know it before. Now that he knows the identity of the other party, he naturally doesn't dare to be presumptuous. Bowed down and bowed to Lu Dunyi: "It turned out to be the second brother of the Lu family, Luo Yan came without telling me, and asked the second brother to forgive me." β
The frame of the prince of the country can't be seen in him at all.
Seeing Luo Yan so polite, Lu Dunyi was also relieved. Although he knew that Luo Yan was brilliant, Lu Dunyi really didn't know what his character was. I was worried before, if this person was too majestic, what should their Lu family do.
When he walked into the mansion with Luo Yan, he suddenly heard Luo Yan behind him speak: "It's difficult to come from afar, and it's not suitable to go to the teacher's grave today to fulfill your filial piety." I don't know if Luo Yan can be allowed to enter the ancestral hall in the house, so he can offer incense in front of the teacher's spirit. β
When Lu Dunyi heard this, he was even more relieved.
But any family with a long heritage must have an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. But there are many rules inside, some of which are not allowed for women to enter, and some of which are not allowed for outsiders to enter. The rules variety. If Luo Yan forcibly entered today regardless of the rules, their Lu family would not be able to stop them too much.
But now that Luo Yan asked, it made Lu Dunyi feel that it was worth making an exception for this.
"In the past, there were many scholars in front of the ancestral hall. However, Guogong is a disciple of the uncle, and he has the remarks that he will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. If you don't let the prince in, it will be a little unreasonable. I think so, I will temporarily set up the house of the Duke of Guo, and after I wait for the bath and change clothes, I will go to the ancestral hall. I don't know what happens under the public opinion of the country? β
Luo Yan just wanted to try it before, but where did he think that Lu Dunyi would answer like this. When he landed, he was overjoyed and bowed to Lu Dunyi.
