Chapter 3 Departure to Chang'an

The moonlight is sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, the pond in the courtyard seems to be covered with a thin veil, the lotus leaves are reflected in the water, and the existence of reality is always as difficult to touch as a dream, leaving only reality and dreams floating in the wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On the edge of the pond stands the antique hexagonal pavilion, the hazy moon is sprinkled on the top of the pavilion, the celadon tile shows its low-key luxury, the pavilion is supported by six jujube red pines, and the danying is carved into the tree, which is extremely luxurious.

Lu Kang was sitting in the pavilion at this time, leaning on the pavilion pillar. Lazily looking up at the sky, thinking about his thoughts.

The breeze blows, the calm water ripples, and the "hissing" sound of insects can be faintly heard.

"What are you thinking about sitting alone?"

A vigorous voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Lu Kang stood up with a thrill. In front of the visitor, the upper body is bent to ninety degrees, the left hand is placed on the right hand, and the upper and lower movements are moved, respectfully:

"Awn"

"Well, I went to your house to look for you, but I couldn't find anyone. The girl in your house told me you were here, and I came looking for you. I didn't expect you to be in a daze, what were you thinking? "Lu Jin is wearing a crimson round-necked robe today, which is the usual dress when he was an official in the previous dynasty, and he looks very energetic when he wears it. Looking at Lu Kang, there was a little less seriousness and more love between his eyebrows.

After Lu Jin sat down, Lu Kang also knelt on the futon, his buttocks were placed on his ankles, his upper body was straightened, his hands were placed on his knees, and he looked at Lu Jin without squinting and replied with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, I was looking at the moon just now, the moon is so round today." Is Aung looking for me to see the moon? ”

In addition to saluting and sitting, the rules of the Lu family are not particularly strict in other aspects, and they can occasionally joke in front of the elders. When facing his grandfather, except for the sitting posture, Lu Kang did not feel restrained, and was a little casual. And kneeling is good for the body, which Lu Kang knows, so he doesn't exclude it.

"Don't be hippie and smiley, I'm looking for you for business. You will have to leave for Chang'an in the next few days, and you have to explain some things. ”

"Listen to Ah Weng's teachings" is the right thing to hear, and Lu Kang does not dare to slack off. The smile was put away, and the originally straight body straightened up again.

"Well, it's not a teaching. It's just that in the past few days, the affairs of Chang'an have been taken care of, and some people and things must be made clear to you, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Lu Kang held his breath and listened carefully.

"Chen Shuda, the prince of Handong County, is my old friend. I have written a trust to report to the Tang Emperor about your entry into Chang'an. When you go to Chang'an, visit him first, and he will arrange for your audience.

Also, the Ministry of Rites, the prince Zhan Shi Li Gang. My Lu family has an old relationship with it, and he is the teacher of Yang Yong, the former prince of Sui, who has both ability and political integrity, is full of nylon, and is well-informed. You are more than intelligent, but you are not slow to learn. I have written to trust him to discipline you, and I think he will not refuse. When you go to Chang'an, you will take him as a teacher and serve him left and right. ”

Chen Shuda? I don't know. Li Gang: I know! His son is so awesome, but now it seems to be the Tang Dynasty. Whatever, write it down, write it down.

"Xiao Yu, Duke of Song, Yin Qiao, Duke of Chenjun, and Yang Gongren, Duke of Guanguo, all have an old relationship with my Lu family. When you go to Chang'an, you must visit them one by one. There are also some of my Lu protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials who are also in Chang'an, and Ah Fu will visit them for you. ”

Ah Fu is Zhang Fu, the son of Lu Jin's scholar Zhang Shen, Zhang Shen has followed Lu Jin for nearly 50 years, and can be regarded as Lu Jin's most trusted person. His son is now in his forties, and Lu Kang has to call Fu Bo when he sees it.

"Yes, the slave knows." Lu Kang's heart is crooked now, so many princes are supported, and it is okay to be a gentleman when he goes to Chang'an.

"Well, it's good that you understand. By the way, this glazed jade pendant was given by Emperor Yang back then, and it has never left for many years. Now I give it to you and wear it on my body, and others will know who you are. As he spoke, he took off the glazed jade pendant he was wearing on his waist and handed it to Lu Kang.

The jade pendant is red, yellow, blue, green, and white, and the clouds are colorful and crystal clear. Covered in the palm of the hand, it is as warm as jade, and it is a few points heavier than glass. The surface of the jade pendant is ring-shaped, and there is a lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, and a monster with an ox tail in the middle. But this monster is a mascot named Kirin.

Although Lu Kang had seen a lot in the past, he had never seen such a beautiful glazed jade pendant. I can't put it down all of a sudden, and I can't stop playing.

"Slave, your manpower for going to Chang'an has also been arranged. There are thirty-seven maids and servants, two grooms, three cooks, one bookkeeper, and twelve generals, and Ah Fu is your butler. Coupled with the thirteen generals who went to Chang'an to deliver the letter first, this time you have fifty-nine people to Chang'an. If it is not enough, the clan will continue to arrange for people to go to Chang'an. ”

Fifty-nine! Wow, there weren't so many people in the mansion in the family before, and it was really the evil feudal landlord class...... I like it!

"Enough, Ong, I can't use so many people alone." Lu Kang waved his hand, revealing an expression of nonchalance.

"You're so young, you don't know anything about the world." Lu Jin didn't know that Lu Kang was a little Jiujiu, and thought that he was young and ignorant of the world. sighed and stroked Lu Kang's head, "Don't worry, the clan is ready." If you don't understand something, please ask Ah Fu, I will explain all the important things to him. ”

"Well, I'll ask Uncle Fu more."

"Alright, you should rest early. After a few days, I left and I didn't get a good night's sleep. With that, he stood up and left with his hands behind his back.

Lu Kang waved at his grandfather's back, and when the others walked away, he also returned to the room with the jade pendant.

A few days later, on the bank of the Jiangnan River, a large boat docked on the shore. The boat is square-bowed and has no sails, with oars on both sides. The ship is divided into three tiers, with the top deck being the highest but the smallest, and then gradually increasing to a four-stage staircase with the three decks. It was transformed from a building ship during the Three Kingdoms period, with unchanged stability and much weaker combat effectiveness. Only around the first layer is surrounded by wooden planks to form a battle grid, and a number of sword holes and spear holes are opened on the battle grid to guard against water bandits.

Lu Kang was on the shore at this time, wearing a cyan brocade robe today, the glazed jade pendant on the jade belt was shining, and he was wearing a mutton fat jade hairpin, and he was a rich boy. However, because she was too young, there was no scream of a girl in her ears, but the advice of her mother Zhu Xuan.

"When you arrive in Chang'an, you must not be naughty, you must be obedient, you know? Learn knowledge from your elders well, Chang'an is no better than at home, and you can't be as lazy as before. Remember? Listen to Zhang Fu's words more, the clan will explain everything in Chang'an to him, and you must ask him for advice often. Don't forget! Zhu Xuan squatted on the ground, held Lu Kang's face, and said with concern on his face.

"Auntie! I can memorize all the orders you have told me many times, so you can rest assured. When I go to Chang'an, I must obediently listen to the elders and listen to Fubo's arrangement. Follow the teacher to study hard, and live up to the trust of the clan and the expectations of Ayea Niang. ”

Lu Kang had a straight face and was extremely serious. That appearance is simply a young man with lofty ambitions and a heart for the world.

If Zhu Xuan hadn't understood this naughty son, he would probably have been deceived by his serious appearance.

"Really?" Zhu Xuan looked suspicious and pinched Lu Kang's fat face, "I believe you have ghosts, stinky boy!" I don't know you yet? On weekdays, he behaves like a sheep in front of adults, and when he gets outside, he looks like a wild horse that has escaped. Now that I'm in Chang'an, no one cares about you, so I don't know how to play crazy. ”

How can anyone say such about his own son, really?

"Auntie, how can I be so unbearable, I have always been very well-behaved, don't listen to other people's nonsense. In short, I will be obedient, you can rest assured. Lu Kang broke free of Zhu Xuan's hand, rubbed his fat face, and patted his chest to reassure.

"Alright, alright. Believe you, okay. I don't know how many years I don't know this time, you have to take a good photo... Take care of yourself. Zhu Xuan said as he spoke, tears fell, and his voice was a little choked, "I have to write back often, you know!" Your handwriting can be understood by A-Niang, and you must remember and write. ”

Looking at Zhu Xuan, who was sad, Lu Kang walked in silently, opened his arms, and gave the old lady a big hug. "Okay, I see, I write every month. Write to A-Niang, not to A-ya, anyway, he also said that my words are the same as chicken feet, and he can't understand them. ”

Perhaps because he was an only child in his previous life, Lu Kang has always hoped to have an older brother or sister. So after crossing the Tang Dynasty, there was an extra pair of fathers and mothers, and he did not reject them, but regarded them as brothers and sisters. He began to be mischievous, cheating and slopbling in front of them. He had been suppressing himself before, but he began to release himself, and he unconsciously developed feelings for them.

When it was time to part, Lu Kang unconsciously shed a few tears.

Daddy Lu Xiao, who had been talking to Zhang Fu from a distance, also came over and hugged Lu Kang. "Okay, what's the cry, it's not that you don't come back, it's just going for a while, what's there to cry about." Lu Xiao's eyes were red, and he cheekily accused Lu Kang. "Besides, after a while, I can also take your aunt to Chang'an to see you."

"Yes, when the time comes, with Xuanxuan, our family will reunite and have a good time in Chang'an." Zhu Xuan also stood up, wiped the tears on his face, and said with a smile.

"Hmm" Lu Kang also reluctantly smiled and agreed.

"Okay, it's not too early, don't delay the trip, go up with Zhang Fu" Lu Xiao put Lu Kang down, pointed to the splint in the distance, and waited quietly for the middle-aged man to say to Lu Kang.

Everything was ready on board, everything was put on deck, and the fifty-nine men were on board. In addition, there were also thirty sailors on the deck who were arranged to control the ship and twenty big-headed soldiers sent by Lu Kang to escort them. Everyone is waiting for Lu Kang.

There was no choice but to walk silently towards the splint. At this time, my heart was empty, and this was how I felt when I first arrived in Datang in the past. I didn't expect it to be long before I realized it again.

Only Lu Xiao and Zhu Xuan came to the shore to see off today, after all, Lu Kang's seniority is too low, so only his parents will come to the shore to see him off. The other elders gave Lu Kang a gift when he left the Lu Mansion, and asked a few times, that is.

The boat started, and Lu Kang stood on the deck, looking at the increasingly blurred figure on the shore, and tears flowed down again.

In the past, Lu Kang was a rich second generation, and now Lu Kang is still a rich second generation. But no matter when, he can't escape the fate of being far away from his homeland and separated from his family.

In this world, he originally just wanted to be a good man, release his nature, eat, drink and have fun. Make up for the regrets of childhood and youth in your past life, and try to adapt to your current life. And he did, and he's basically used to everything he has now. But at this time, he had to leave his home, leave the environment he was used to, and live in Chang'an.

The figure on the shore disappeared completely, Lu Kang raised his head, looked at the endless sky, and chanted:

"This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are a thousand kinds of styles, who can I say to anyone"

"And with whom..."
