Lu Chengkong and Pang An came to a wine shop in the city, and after the two sat down, Lu Chengkong deliberately ordered two pots of wine and said, "Pang An, I invite you to drink today." ”
Pang An poured a large glass of wine, and after drinking it all, he grinned contentedly: "You kid doesn't drink a single drink, why do you invite me to drink?" ”
Lu Chengkong had already thought of his words, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "Those days, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago, and I should have thanked you for saving my life." ”
"Why are you so polite to me?" Pang An's words changed sharply, and he was a little puzzled: "But there are some things that I still can't understand." ”
"What's the matter?"
"What is the cure for your illness?" Pang An scratched his head, frowned, and thought hard for a long time before he said: "After you recovered from your illness, I calmed down and thought about it again, but I don't believe that a few bowls of water, plus chanting scriptures, can cure you, that old monk must be a lie." ”
However, Lu Chengkong was cured by the old monk after all, and hurriedly asked, "Have you seen this old monk before?" I don't think the old monk is a liar. ”
Pang An shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but every three or two days, there will be monks passing by Huayuan, and I can see a lot of such people." If you want me to say, they are all deceiving under the guise of being a monk, and they can't be trusted. ”
In this world of lack of information, Lu Chengkong had no hope of finding an old monk who could cure him, and at this time he listened to Pang An's words and said secretly: "The world is so big, who can believe in my chances?" ”
After Pang An drank the wine, he talked a lot, raised his hand, and said while waving: "According to me, it must be Master Zhang's evil spirit-rejuvenating soup that has an effect...... They all said that Master Zhang of Nangang County was a god, and he shouldn't be wrong! Maybe the evil spirit-rejuvenating soup you drank before didn't take effect yet, so you suddenly met the old monk, but after drinking a few bowls of water, the evil spirit-rejuvenating soup just worked......" Speaking of this, Pang An hiccuped, stared at Lu Chengkong with a smile, and deliberately teased him: "That's right, that's right, I have a lot to do, if it weren't for my child's urine, you would definitely still be lying in bed." ”
Lu Chengkong will never forget the fishy smell, and when he thinks about it at this time, he can't help but gause, he glared at Pang An and said, "Don't say it!" You're such a big person, where can you be considered a child? This evil spirit-revitalizing soup should be left to you to drink! ”
The two talked and laughed for a while, Lu Chengkong only felt that when he got along with Pang An, he was relaxed and natural, and he didn't need to deliberately disguise, just like an old friend who had known each other for many years. He remembered that the big man in front of him was anxious and anxious to save himself, and he looked like he had not slept for several days, and his heart was already full of gratitude.
After drinking three pots of wine, Pang An's face turned a little red.
"Hey......" Lu Chengkong saw that he was already five points drunk, and thought that the time had come, so he deliberately sighed and pretended to stop talking.
Pang An smiled on his face and said, "Let me guess what you kid is worried about." As he spoke, he put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "It must be for Zhong Liruo, don't you say?" ”
"Zhongli Ruo...... It turned out that her full name was Zhong Liruo. ”
Seeing that Lu Chengkong was a little dazed, Pang An smiled even more, drank another glass of wine, and said, "I guessed correctly, you kid, as long as you hear Zhong Liruo's three words, you will be distracted." ”
Lu Chengkong encountered another coincidence, and he was speechless.
Suddenly, Pang An slapped his head and said loudly: "It's bad, there's something I forgot to tell you." ”
"Yes...... What's the big deal? ”
"When you fell ill in bed, most of the herbs were brought by Miss Zhongli."
Lu Chengkong's eyes widened and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"I was so busy in bed that I forgot about it when you were sick in bed, and I only remember it now...... Miss Zhongli is very worried about you, and sends someone to ask me every day for your news. All the medicinal materials that are not available in Ying County, Miss Zhongli will send someone to Lingzhou Mansion to buy them. Several times, I saw her standing outside the house, looking anxious, wanting to see you. ”
"Then why didn't she come in?"
"Uncle Lu is in the house every day, how can Miss Zhongli come to see you?" Speaking of this, Pang An stopped laughing anymore and became a little serious.
"Why Lu ...... Uncle Lu is here, so she can't come? Even at this time, Lu Chengkong couldn't call Lu Liang his father.
Pang An stared at Lu Chengkong in surprise and said, "You kid actually called his father 'Uncle Lu', could it be that you are also drunk?" ”
Lu Chengkong didn't have time to argue, and said anxiously: "Hurry up and get down to business!" ”
Pang An was not in a hurry, shook his head and said, "You once told me that you didn't want Uncle Lu to know about your relationship with Miss Zhongli. Wait until you have achieved some deeds, and then you will marry her openly. Pang An looked at Lu Chengkong, who was still a little dumbfounded in front of him, and sighed: "So, what kind of identity do you want to let Miss Zhongli enter your house?" ”
"How did I forget that it was ancient times, how could a woman enter other men's houses at will?" When Lu Chengkong heard the words "make a meritorious achievement" and "marry openly", he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and sighed secretly: "It turns out that I in this world have made such a big promise to her. ”
"I ......" Seeing that Lu Chengkong was out of his mind again, Pang An patted his face, and after waking up, he stopped talking.
"If you have something to say, you can say it." Lu Chengkong tried to think about all the information.
"There are a lot of sons who pursue Miss Zhongli, and in next year's imperial examination, you must be a Jinshi."
"Zhongjinshi?" When Lu Chengkong heard this, he had to shake his head and smile bitterly, he knew best that he had a few catties and a few taels of knowledge, not to mention Zhongjinshi, at best, he would only memorize these things by rote, and said helplessly: "Next year...... Jinshi, I can't pass the test. ”
"Can't pass the test? How can you say such a thing! Pang An saw that Lu Chengkong was flinching in the face of difficulties, and he had lost his former spirit, and his tone became stern: "You must be admitted." ”
Lu Chengkong looked at Pang An inexplicably, not knowing why he was so excited, and said: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying of 'fifty young jinshi', I am only in my early twenties, and it is normal to fail the exam." ”
"You can't pass the test...... Not feasible! If you can't pass the test, Zhong ......" Pang An looked left and right anxiously, and swallowed back the words behind.
"Zhong ......" When Lu Chengkong heard this, his spirit immediately tensed up, and said, "If I can't pass the exam, what will happen to Zhongliruo?" ”
"Hey!" Pang An frowned, drank three glasses of wine in a row, and finally said the words that were held in his heart, and said, "I can see clearly on the side, Miss Zhongli's thoughts about you, but do you know?" Just these days when you're sick in bed, someone ...... Someone has already gone to Zhongli Mansion to propose marriage. If you don't pass the exam next year...... I'm afraid that Miss Zhongli can't wait! ”
Although Lu Chengkong had only met Zhong Liruo twice, combined with all of them, he already took it for granted in his heart that Zhong Liruo was his own her. At this time, hearing the words "can't wait", Lu Chengkong's male instinct exploded, and an uncontrollable nameless fire came out of his chest, asking, "Who?" Who went to propose? ”
Pang An didn't answer, just drank with his head down.
"Say!" Lu Chengkong was even more anxious, and his voice was a little excited.
"Luo Xiuyuan."
"No wonder!" Lu Chengkong suddenly realized that the grievance between the two was this. Such grievances, no matter in that era, were irreconcilable.
"I didn't want to tell you, but I realized that you didn't have the pride you had since you got better. You have been reading the books of sages for decades, and you will go to the capital next year, and your success or failure will be in one fell swoop, how can you be discouraged? ”
"I ......" Lu Chengkong couldn't say if he was bitter, so he had to shake his head and sigh.
"Luo Xiuyuan has been playing Zhongli girl's idea for a long time, I heard that his father ...... Luo Duwei had already come to her door in person. ”
Lu Chengkong's expression darkened, although he didn't know what kind of official Luo Xiuyuan's father "Luo Duwei" was, but as the commander of the military government, the position must be above Lu Liang, in this hierarchical society in ancient times, identity was already a big obstacle, and he secretly said in his heart, "What should I use to compare with Luo Xiuyuan?" ”
"Why, don't you claim to be a descendant of Lu Sheng? Pang An felt Lu Chengkong's loss, and deliberately provoked him: "In the face of a Luo Xiuyuan, you have already admitted defeat?" ”
Lu Chengkong only wanted to return to the future, and never thought of making contributions to this world. At this time, for the sake of a woman, he involuntarily had a competitive heart, and laughed at himself in his heart: "Lu Chengkong, what's wrong with you?" After listening to Pang An's words, he came back to his senses, smiled bitterly for a while, raised his hand, pointed to the ground with his index finger, and asked: "Pang An, then tell me, in this world, in this place, how can you achieve a meritorious deed?" ”
"Of course, he is a Zhongjin sergeant, and he will be a big official in the court!"
"Jinshi...... Scholars! Lu Chengkong was silent, and he also knew in his heart that in ancient times, the only thing that could achieve meritorious deeds was to become an official, and there was only one way to become an official, and that was the imperial examination. In this world, I am not only in the four schools, but also an apprentice, which means that I am qualified to participate in the imperial examination, and all this seems to be so taken for granted.
Becoming an official is just one step away.
"Do you really want to go down this paved road?"
Regardless of whether Lu Chengkong wanted it or not, he just clenched his hands and said secretly: "Luo Xiuyuan...... You are just an ancient person, no matter what aspect you are, I, Lu Chengkong, will not lose to you! ”
