Chapter 12: Targeted
"My lord, are you still thinking about Sister Wan'er?"
Lu Lan's words suddenly made Lu Ren fall into silence and memories. After a long time, Lu Rencai sighed lightly, slowly shook his head and said, "Can you not want to?" But when I thought about it, I was afraid that I would be uncomfortable, so I deliberately didn't think about it...... Xiaolan, you are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. When you reach my age and go through some things, you should understand how I feel in my heart. ”
Xiao Lulan bit her lip, lowered her head, and then reached out to hold Lu Ren's hand, and her face was also a little crimson, but in addition to being shy, there was also another meaning in this crimson: "My lord, Sister Wan'er has ...... It's been almost four years, so don't make yourself feel bad like this all the time, okay? My lord, you still have Xiaolan and me by your side, Xiaolan is willing to represent Sister Wan'er...... No, no, no, Xiaolan is also willing to be like Sister Wan'er and stay by the side of adults all the time......"
Lu Ren was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and withdrew his hand from Lu Lan, and then bent his finger and tapped lightly in front of Lu Lan's forehead, with a little helplessness in his tone: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, girl?" ”
Lu Lan was a little anxious: "Adults understand what Xiaolan means......
Lu Ren waved his hand at Lu Lan: "How could I not understand?" Have you forgotten that you are in your thirties? I also tell you, if it was in the past, a little girl like you said such things to me, I would be so happy that I would have stripped you naked and thrown you on the couch, but like that, will you be able to see me? ”
"Huh?" Lu Lan was a little confused.
Lu Ren waved his hand again: "My lord and I are a womanizer, but do you know why I haven't touched you until now?" ”
Lu Lan lowered her head gloomily: "Adults don't like Xiaolan......"
Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Silly girl! Our Xiaolan is so lively and cute, everyone likes it when they see it, and I am certainly no exception. But it's because I like you so much that I haven't touched you. ”
Lu Lan looked up suddenly: "Why?" ”
Lu Ren withdrew his hand and smiled: "It's still the same sentence." You're still a little young, and there are some things you don't quite understand. How so? After all, you are the child I adopted, you girl may have more gratitude and retribution to me in her heart, do you really like me, you don't know, I don't know......"
Speaking of this, Lu Ren sighed lightly. Looking up at the sky: "After Wan'er passed away, I gradually figured out a lot of things after the incident. For example, before Wan'er died, why did she repeatedly tell me not to avenge her...... I was so nice to Wan'er that I could almost spoil her, but it turned out to make her feel a little confused, so deep down she always wanted to do something for me to repay me.
"That's what you do now. But Xiaolan, you must know that you are different from Wen Ji, Ah Xiu, and Mi Zhen around me now, they all have an interdependent relationship with me, and they can't leave me. In turn, I can't miss them. But Xiaolan, you don't have this kind of relationship, you have your own freedom. ”
Lu Lan was dazed, and she didn't know whether to nod or shake her head.
Lu Ren touched Lu Lan's hair lovingly and said, "I think, if I want to throw you on the couch, not only will you not resist, but most of you will be a little unwanted, right?" To be honest, I'd love to do that. But I haven't done it because ...... I want to give you the little girl the right to choose for herself. ”
"Your Excellency. Xiaolan doesn't understand ......"
Lu Ren smiled: "If you don't understand, remember it first." Or let's make an agreement, you're eighteen years old. Five years from now, when you are twenty-four years old, if there is no young talent who can get into your eyes, or if you still think that you are the one you want to entrust your life, I will do you this little girl. ”
Lu Lan's eyes lit up suddenly, but she immediately pouted: "Is five years too long?" Xiaolan is eighteen this year, and she is already a marriageable year. By the time she was twenty-four years old, she had already become an old girl that no one wanted. ”
Lu Renle was happy, pointed to himself and said, "Do you think I will make our Xiaolan into that kind of yellow-faced woman?" I can't delay anything, and I can't delay the youth of our Xiaolan. I don't dare to say anything else, but after ten years, I am still sure that our Xiaolan will still be a twenty-year-old girl. ”
Lu Lan was also stunned. Then he forgave Lu Ren's current appearance as a weak-crowned young man, and then smiled coquettishly: "Yes, I forgot, adults will grow immortality." ”
Lu Ren coughed dryly and said, "It's not an immortal technique, it's just that it can make people age slower." ”
Lu Lan immediately lied to Lu Ren, after all, there are few people in the world who can resist such a thing as youth and immortality: "Xiaolan wants it now!" ”
Lu Ren hurriedly pushed Lu Lan away: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" Didn't you notice who got this from me? ”
Lu Lan thought for a while and responded: "Sister Cai, Sister Xiu, Sister Mizhen, and then adults...... Yes? Could it be said? ”
Lu Ren nodded hurriedly, after all, Lu Ren didn't dare to leak the slightest bit of his mouth about that kind of potion, otherwise he would definitely cause more trouble than stabbing the sky. Fortunately, there are legends that can be used in ancient times, and in order to avoid those unnecessary troubles, Lu Ren has long been prepared to be a god: "This is a method of male and female double/cultivation handed down by the Yellow Emperor, which can prolong life and slow down aging, but it must be a husband and wife practitioner." In addition, this method can only be understood, and it is difficult to say. ”
Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor had thousands of wives and concubines, and he lived for hundreds of years, and there are also some things in the world such as "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon". In order to hide the secret of the potion, Lu Ren used this legend, so even Cai Yan and Minchan didn't know about the potion, and they really thought that Lu Ren had a double / cultivation with them.
As for Mi Zhen...... It was only a matter of time before Lu Ren and Mi Zhen met, and even if they hadn't bought their tickets yet, others would think that their tickets had already been bought. However, Mi Zhen herself didn't notice that she had actually become younger, after all, Mi Zhen was only twenty-four years old this year, and as a young lady, her own nutritional conditions and maintenance were better than those of ordinary women, so she couldn't see her younger state.
Looking at Lu Lan again, he smiled at Lu Lan quite slyly: "My lord, do you know that your ability alone is enough to make all the beautiful women in the world want to drill into your arms?" In comparison, what can you count like waiting for five years? ”
Lu Ren knocked on Lu Lan's head angrily: "Go!" It's only been a few words, and you're not in shape again? Do you think this can be done just by sleeping together a few times? Come on, don't talk to you about these inconsequential things, we still have business to do. ”
Lu Lan hurriedly shook her head, shook off the messy thoughts, and asked Lu Ren, "My lord, do you want to do business?" Then why don't you bring Sister Wen Ji out? ”
Lu Ren said: "Wen Ji can't compare to you and Ah Xiu. She hasn't practiced martial arts like you and Ah Xiu, and her body is not as good as yours. She is actually tired enough after a bumpy road in the past few days, so let her sleep a little more and have a good rest. Staying by Wen Ji's side is to protect Wen Ji, after all, Ah Xiu's skills are good, and you and I are not people who are unable to protect ourselves, and under normal circumstances, Ah Xiu does not need to follow us all the time. ”
"Oh...... Where are we going, my lord? ”
Lu Ren pointed to a certain mansion in front of him: "It's there." It was the academy where Mr. Shui Jing taught. ”
――――――――――――――――――――
Although the sky was already full of light, because today was the tenth day of the Han Dynasty, that is, the ten-day rest day in the Han Dynasty, there was no sound of students reading aloud in the academy, and it seemed very quiet. However, in the academy at this moment, there is a young man with a handsome face who is cleaning the academy alone.
This young man was about twenty-three or four years old, and he was dressed in a simple cloth and bamboo crown, and although he was doing heavy work on his hands, his expression was very calm. It's just calm and calm, but the young man's eyes are clear and bright, and his mouth is silently muttering something, and from time to time there is a glimmer of light, as if he has had an epiphany.
While he was cleaning, someone knocked softly at the open door of the academy, and then Lu Lan's silver-bell-like girl's voice came in: "Dare to ask if anyone is here?" ”
As soon as he heard that it was a girl's voice, the young man who was cleaning couldn't help frowning, and came to the door with the broom in his hand and bowed to Lu Lan, who called the door: "This is the place where Mr. Shuijing teaches his profession, if the girl has nothing important, please avoid it quickly." ”
"Ah, I'm ......"
Lu Lan was about to speak back, when Lu Ren's voice came over with a bit of blame: "Xiaolan! This is Mr. Shuijing's academy, and it is not to be built. Step back for now! ”
Lu Lan replied and retreated behind Lu Ren, who came later. Seeing that Lu Ren came to the door, he bowed directly to the man and said, "My Xiaolan is young and ignorant, and she is negligent in disciplining. If there is any rudeness, I hope that my brother will forgive me. ”
After the young man returned the salute, he carefully dried Lu Ren for a while, feeling that Lu Ren was the same age as himself, but his mediocre temperament was very unique, and the things he was wearing were neither good nor bad in terms of value, and he looked like a student with some net worth. As soon as he thought of this, the young man said to Lu Ren neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Dare to ask Brother Tai if you want to learn from Mr. Shuijing?" That tired brother Tai and waited for half a day, and then came here in the afternoon to join the apprentice. There is an inn for a temporary rest in the three miles to the east, and there is also wine and food for sale, and the brother can go there to rest first. ”
Lu Ren smiled and asked the young man, "I'm not a scholar, I'm just here because I was entrusted by someone to do something." Haven't asked my brother for the name of Taigao? ”
The young man paused for a moment, then shook his head lightly and said, "It is not enough to be subservient to the name. My brother is here because he has important things to do, and it is inconvenient to ask more questions below. It's just that in this quiet and solemn place of the academy, I hope that my brother Taijie can be polite. ”
Lu Ren smiled at the young man, and after carefully drying the young man, he suddenly called softly: "Is it Yingchuan Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi?" Or, should I call you a single blessing? ”
There was a click, but the broom in the young man's hand fell to the ground...... (To be continued.) )
