Lu Yi is about the same height as Cao Peng, but he looks slightly sturdier than Cao Peng.

Later generations often said: The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. But in fact, as a child of a family that is about to fall, he often bears more responsibilities. Lu Yi is the same, at the age of twelve, he became a discipline portal and took on the heavy responsibility of running the family. This also makes his slightly immature-looking cheeks reveal a solemnity and composure that his peers cannot match. Cao Peng can also be regarded as a model of youth and old age among his peers. But compared with Lu Yi, Cao Peng thinks that he is slightly inadequate, lacking the bearing of a child of a family.

Seeing Xun Yan, Lu Yi was not surprised.

On the contrary, in his speech and demeanor, he exudes a strong vigilance and vigilance.

Maybe it is not aimed at Xun Yan, but because of the caution that has been cultivated for a long time. After all, there is a lot of grievances between the Lu clan and the Sun clan in Huating, and when Sun Ce broke through the Lujiang River, the killing of the Lu clan is still an indelible pain in the hearts of the Lu clan.

The children of the Lu family have hatred for the Sun family.

The Sun family, in turn, was wary of the Lu family's children.

The Lu family now lives under the rule of the Sun family, and they will be wary of everything, which is originally a normal thing.

Therefore, Lu Yi's words are decent, but his attitude is indifferent, and he has a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

And Xun Yanhun didn't care, talking and laughing. He talked about his dealings with Lu Xian at the beginning, and talked about his friendship with Lu Jun in Luoyang in his early years.

Lu Yi always maintained a gentle smile, and from time to time attached a few decent remarks, which made Xun Yan very happy.

Cao Peng knelt behind Xun Yan and silently observed the landing proposal.

Lu Yi and Cao Peng are of the same age, and according to Xun Yan, the two are the same age. But Lu Yi seems to be two months older than Cao Peng...... But the gap between the two months made Lu Yi much calmer than Cao Peng. He saw that it was getting late, so he ordered his slaves to go down and prepare a banquet.

"Uncle goes back now, I'm afraid it's too late, why don't you stay tonight?"

Xun Yan nodded and replied, "Just according to what the virtuous nephew said."

By the way, when I came, I heard that the wedding of the virtuous nephew is imminent? Don't know if you can set a wedding date? ”

"Back to my uncle's words, the wedding date has been set, just after the eighteenth day."

"Uh, but I don't think the house is prepared?"

"It's ready...... However, the uncle of the Gu family sent someone to say that everything is best to be simple, don't bother a lot, it is not beautiful. ”

"Uncle Gu?"

Xun Yan was stunned, "You mean ......?"

"I think my uncle also knows, Uncle Gu is the brother of the father-in-law, I heard that in the early years, he had close contacts with Uncle Xun. At that time, the uncle of the Gu family was still studying under the uncle's father. ”

"You mean, Gu Yuansi?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng cursed again in his heart: You are so dignified, don't always call 'words', okay? Gu Yuan sighed, so familiar!

But he knew who the 'Uncle Gong was', it was Cai Yong.

Cai Yong's student?

Faintly, Cao Peng remembered that he had read a Three Kingdoms crossing novel in his previous life, in which there seemed to be a lot of Cai Yong's students, and one of them was ...... Gu Yong! Yes, it's Gu Yong, Gu Yuan sighed. This person seems to be a student of Cai Yong, and later the prime minister of Eastern Wu.

Did Lu Yi marry Gu Yong's niece?

Xun Yan nodded again and again, "Brother Yuan sighs and speaks little, he is virtuous and loyal, and he is a model at that time.

By the way, I heard that he is now working under Wu Hou's account? This time I came to Wu County, I haven't had time to visit the Gu family. ”

"Uncle is now the eldest of Shangyu, but when the wedding is over, he will come."

"That's good!" Xun Yan nodded again and again, "I haven't seen Brother Yuan Si for a long time. After he returned home, he did not contact him again, and he could talk to him when the time came. ”

Lu Yi would never start the conversation easily, but every time Xun Yan asked, he answered very appropriately and in detail.

The two of them just asked and answered, and time flew by.

Subsequently, Lu Yi prepared a banquet, Xun Yan was at the banquet, and when he saw Cao Peng on the side, he was silent, and suddenly remembered a thing.

"Virtuous nephew."

"Whoa."

"I want to ask you about someone...... I don't know if there is one person in your Lu clan named Lu Xun? ”

This was originally an extremely ordinary greeting, which made Lu Yi stunned.

After a while, he nodded strangely, "Uncle Hui, there is indeed such a person." ”

Cao Peng's eyes widened and his ears pricked up.

Lu Xun is indeed a disciple of the Lu family in this Huating...... However, Lu Yi's later sentence made Cao Peng stupid.

"Lu Xun is the little nephew."

Xun Yan was also stunned, "You are Lu Xun?" ”

At the beginning of the year, the little nephew performed the crown ceremony, and then the wedding date was set. At that time, the little nephew ...... Since my uncle is an envoy to Jiangdong, he should know the situation of the Lu family. The Lu family and the Gu family are both century-old families in Wu County, and now they have married again...... The little nephew felt that it would be difficult in the future. The little nephew is now a discipline portal, and he feels a great responsibility, so he changed his name to 'Lu Xun'. ”

Xun, there is a retreat, forbearance, and the light and dust.

At the same time, it also represents the current situation of the Lu family, which must be with the light, must retreat, and must forbear...... Lu Yi changed his name to Lu Xun, which roughly means this.

Listening to Lu Yi's words, Xun Yan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Don't look at Lu Yi's young age, but the way to survive in this world has been perfected.

He didn't say it too clearly, but this word 'Xun' described his predicament very thoroughly.

Lu Yi said: "Why did my uncle suddenly ask about this? Not too many people know about the nephew's name change. Except for his uncle, even the family members don't know. I was going to make it public after I got married...... Where did my uncle learn about it? ”

"This ......"

Xun Yan hesitated, "Could it be that Jiangdong, there is no second Lu Xun?" ”

"As far as I know, the surname Lu in Wu County, no one is called Lu Xun."

Xun Yan turned his head and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, the student also heard about it by accident from the Fang Market.

People say that Lu Xun has learned people, and he is Jiangdong Junjie. But where are they from? The student didn't know much, so he asked this question on the way. ”

Cao Peng's words made the question vague all of a sudden.

Heard of it in the market?

Naturally, there is no way to study it...... Lu Xun's face was a little unnatural, and he said softly: "Dare to ask, what does that person look like?" ”

"Fangshi, it's a Fangshi."

Lu Xunyu's face sank slightly, revealing a dignified color.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop." ”

This sentence was said by Gaoyu in the Spring and Autumn Period, from "Han Poems Biography". Puyang Min studied Korean poetry, so Cao Peng is no stranger.

The original saying is very famous in later generations: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait.

The meaning of Lu Xun's words is to say: I have tried my best to forbear and retreat, but it seems that there are still people who want to push me to the forefront.

Xun Yan was silent.

"Virtuous nephew."

"Whoa."

"There's a sentence I don't know if to say."

"Uncle, please."

Xun Yan hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "If Jiangdong can't stay, you might as well go to Yingchuan." ”

Lu Xun smiled bitterly, "It's not that the little nephew is unwilling, it's the family business here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave...... However, the little nephew remembered his uncle's words. ”

Cao Peng never thought that a sentence he made up casually would actually make Lu Xun have the idea of leaving Jiangdong.

If, if Lu Xun was not in Jiangdong, who would he say could resist Liu Bei?

Cao Peng couldn't help but cry out in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak...... It can be seen that Lu Xun actually has a lot of resentment and even hatred towards the Sun family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said anything like that. Everything was as early as Lujiang, and there was a conclusion.

It's just that since there is such a grudge between the Lu family and the Sun family, why did Lu Xun ...... later? Cao Peng was puzzled by the ingenuity in this.

After the ———————————————————————— banquet, Lu Xun arranged for Xun Yan and the others to rest.

The lintel of the Lu family seems to be dilapidated, but its industry still exists. After Lu Kang's death, the two descendants of Lu Xian and Lu Kang became one.

The two tribes also merged, but they also had the power to protect themselves.

Lujia North Cross Courtyard, where Lu Kang's children live; The south cross courtyard belongs to Lu Xun's family.

There are about 1,000 people living in the nearly two-hectare mansion. Among them, there are about 800 of them, and the children of the Lu family are less than 200. Xun Yan said that at the beginning, there were nearly 500 children of the Lu family, plus the side branches and distant branches, there were as many as 2,000. Although it is not the first family in Wu County, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten. It's just that since Lu Kang's death, the descendants have suffered heavy losses, and there are only less than 200 people left, and the old ones are old and the little ones are small...... The distant branches and side branches are displaced, and the fleeing are fleeing, so that the Lu family will no longer have the momentum of the past.

Sometimes, one wrong step, one wrong step.

This is the case with the Lu family.

I don't know if the Lu family will be able to rise again?

Cao Peng really wanted to tell Xun Yan that the Lu family would definitely be able to rise.

Not just to rise, but to be extremely powerful. I vaguely remember that in the later period of Sun Wu, the entire Jiangdong naval army controlled the hands of the Lu family. Lu Xun's following three generations of heroes have built the Lu family into the first family in Jiangdong, and its strength even exceeds that of the Xun family...... Xu saw that his old friend's family road was dilapidated, and Xun Yan was not in a good mood.

After settling down, he went back to his room early to rest.

And Cao Peng and Xia Houlan still live next to Xun Yan's bedroom.

Xia Houlan drove for a day, and she was also a little tired. So when he fell down on the couch, he fell asleep.

Cao Peng was lying on the couch, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. I don't know what's going on, but after coming to Koto, he often suffers from insomnia.

Clothed and up, Cao Peng walked out of the room lightly.

The scenery of Jiangnan is very good, but the undercurrent is surging, which makes people feel very depressed.

Here, Cao Peng felt that there was no room for his own strengths. The people I came into contact with were all talented people in the world, and they had to be careful when they even spoke, and they didn't dare to relax for a moment. In contrast, in Xudu, in Haixi, and even in Tanglin Pavilion, it seems very comfortable.

I don't know, when will I be able to return to Guangling?

———————————————————— moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, and the walls of the courtyard were crawling with creepers, dyeing the walls green. The green color, dotted with a few small white flowers, adds a lot of interest to the night. Walking along the gravel path, Cao Peng strolled and unconsciously walked out of the courtyard.

The air is filled with a very delicate and elegant fragrance.

Cao Peng shrugged his nose, feeling the aroma, which seemed to be somewhat familiar.

On the ground, the peach red and apricot white remains, and the dew in the middle of the night makes the secluded path wet, and strolling in the meantime makes people feel confused.

There is an arch in front, and in the past is the garden of the Lu family.

Cao Peng stepped through the arch and saw that at the end of the path, among the sea of flowers, there was a small flower pavilion, which was particularly eye-catching in the moonlight.

The reason why it is eye-catching is because on the flower pavilion, hanging wisteria.

Wisteria flowers bloom one by one, spraying the fragrance of flowers into the heavens and the earth.

The familiar aroma comes from the wisteria flower...... Cao Peng stood on the path and suddenly froze.

Because, under the wisteria flower, a girl in white is sitting quietly. Cao Peng could only see a back outlining a delicate curve.

The snow-white neck presents a graceful and surname-like curve.

The girl was dressed in Zen clothes, kneeling under the wisteria, her slender fingers swept over the strings, and suddenly there was a beautiful sound of the piano.

The black hair was scattered like a waterfall and hung down to the waist.

Under the moonlight, the girl was like a human spirit, without the slightest smell of mortality.

Cao Peng is music blind and can't hear anything good or bad.

In his previous life, at that age, he grew up listening to Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung's songs, to be honest, he knew nine out of ten for ancient music, and he didn't know anything about it.

It's just that from the sound of the piano, he heard a kind of sadness like crying.

Cao Peng stood at the end of the trail and stopped to listen to the girl stroking the qin.

Suddenly, the strings snapped and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly...... The girl in white lifted the expensive guqin and slammed it to the ground.

"Ahh

Cao Peng was taken aback by the girl's sudden move.

However, with his soft call, the girl suddenly turned and looked at him.

Under the moonlight, the girl's face is soft, with the unique touching of Jiangnan women. But in those eyes, there was a kind of cold glow, which made Cao Peng excited and shivered.

Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to apologize to the other party.

After all, it is someone else's business to break the piano, and he disturbed people's purity, and it is reasonable to apologize.

Who knows, he only took two steps forward, but the girl in white turned to leave. When Cao Peng arrived in the flower pavilion, the girl's graceful back had disappeared into the sea of flowers.

"Right...... Not great. ”

Cao Peng's apologetic words came to his mouth and he swallowed it back.

In the flower pavilion, there is a touch of fragrance, which is refreshing.

Cao Peng couldn't help but take a deep breath, savoring the fragrance left by the girl. After a while, he squatted down and reached out to pick up the guqin on the ground. The workmanship of the guqin is excellent, and the head of the qin is carved with a phoenix pattern, which is extremely clear in the night light. There was another word on it, but Cao Peng didn't recognize it. The word is not the popular official script or seal script, but Cao Peng can be sure that it is a word...... Picking up the broken qin, Cao Peng stood up.

On the wisteria, there is a long green silk entangled, presumably when the girl left just now, she was hung up...... This aroma is so familiar!

Well, the fragrance of the maiden, it seems to have smelled from somewhere.

Cao Peng held the broken piano and stood in the flower pavilion in a daze. After a long time, he sighed softly, shook his head, and turned to walk out of the flower pavilion.

The girl seemed to be an elf in the night.

Although it was only a glimpse, it left a deep impression on Cao Peng.

Who is she? Why did it appear in the Lu family's garden? And playing sad music, he immediately broke this precious guqin?

Cao Peng was full of doubts......
