Chapter 34: Trickery
The next evening, under the big tree outside Zhongli's mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I saw a person pacing back and forth, undecided, and muttering to himself: "Why is this feeling not under your control?" ā
"No, no, I can't come here again!" The man seemed to have made up his mind and was about to leave, when he suddenly stood up again and asked himself, "Why can't I come?" I ......"
This person is Lu Chengkong. He took a deep breath and stared at the door of Zhongli's mansion, just to see Zhongliruo. These days, Lu Chengkong always can't control his feet, and he comes here every day. Inadvertently, I continue to be in this world, all my behavior and habits.
When I didn't see Zhong Liruo, I always saw her shadow in front of me. And when I saw her, I was so nervous that I didn't even have the courage to go up and speak. Normally, at this time, Zhong Liruo would appear at the gate and meet Lu Chengkong. But tonight, Lu Chengkong had been waiting under the tree for a long time, and he didn't see Zhong Liruo, so he was anxious, and said secretly: "Could it be ...... What happened to her? ā
"Lu Gongzi." Suddenly, this sound came from behind him, Lu Chengkong was startled, and when he looked back, it was Zhong Liruo.
"I ...... You ......" Lu Chengkong was so nervous that he couldn't speak, but he didn't expect Zhong Liruo to appear behind him, and he was stunned for a while.
Zhong Liruo was even more embarrassed in front of the restrained Lu Chengkong, her face was slightly red, and she finally mustered up the courage and asked, "Master Lu, since your body has long been healed, why ...... Why didn't you come to see me the other day? ā
"I ......" If Lu Chengkong and Zhongli were so close, their faces turned even red, their minds were already blank, where did they still have the heart to make up excuses to explain?
Even if Zhong Liruo didn't get an answer, he knew what Lu Chengkong was thinking, so he took out a sachet-like thing from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "This is what I went to the temple outside Lingzhou Mansion to beg, in order to bless your body well." Although you're all right now, take it. ā
"Thank you."
Zhong Liruo glanced at Lu Chengkong, and then said, "Last night, I heard a poem, but I didn't know the name of the poem. ā
"What poem?" Lu Chengkong hadn't reacted yet, and his expression was still a little dazed.
"At noon on hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. It turned out that since the day after entering the mansion for the banquet, the poems of Lu Chengkong, Luo Xiuyuan, and Yin Zhengyi immediately spread throughout Yingxian County, and all literati and students were full of praise for the three poems. Especially when it was mentioned that Lu Chengkong dared to recite this poem in the county mansion, he said that this person was not simple. When Zhong Liruo learned that it was Lu Chengkong's poem, he just read it once and remembered it, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his heart was both surprised and admired.
"This poem...... Lu Chengkong scratched his head and said, "The name of this poem...... I don't remember. ā
"Remember?" Zhong Liruo asked, "Isn't this poem written by Lu Gongzi?" ā
Seeing Zhong Liruo's somewhat adoring expression, Lu Chengkong would not be stupid enough to tell her that it was plagiarism, so he had to be cheeky, nodded, and said, "No...... That's right, I did it. ā
"Original...... Lu Gongzi's writing is so good. After Zhong Liruo learned that this poem was really written by Lu Chengkong, he admired him a little more, and said, "I didn't expect you to make such a poem." ā
Lu Chengkong heard this praise and continued to say unashamedly: "I ...... In that case, I was in a hurry, and I made it, and it was nothing. When he finished saying this seemingly modest sentence, he realized that he was deliberately showing. But he couldn't take back the words he spoke, and his face was already red to his neck. For the first time, he discovered that it felt so wonderful to be pretending in front of the opposite sex.
"Although this poem is a good poem, it is really different from the poems you usually tell me in terms of artistic conception. So when I first heard this poem, I couldn't believe that it was written by Lu Gongzi. ā
"Usual poems?" Lu Chengkong was stunned for a while, and immediately recalled the song "There are beauties, I will never forget when I see them, I don't see them for a day, and I think like crazy", and blurted out: "That...... That poem, I still remember, there are beautiful women, I will never forget it......"
After Zhong Liruo heard Lu Chengkong recite this poem, his face immediately turned red and said, "Can ...... It's not this one. ā
Lu Chengkong didn't expect that he would be in a daze for a while, and he would actually recite a love poem, but at this moment, when he was proud, where could he care about saying more and making more mistakes? Then he asked, "It's not this one, but which one?" ā
Zhong Liruo said: "I won't forget that Lu Gongzi's favorite poem is the one 'Yellow Sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken'." Every time I listen to you recite this poem, you can feel the indomitable spirit of a great general on the battlefield. ā
"This ...... This one? Lu Chengkong lowered his head and thought about it, in his impression, this was a side poem.
Zhong Liruo continued: "Originally, in Ruo'er's eyes, although Lu Gongzi was just a scholar, he was worried about the country and the people, and he wanted to protect his family and defend the country, which was already rare. But I never thought that Lu Gongzi, you would still be able to make 'who knows that the Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard', such a poem that is not easy for the people. ā
Lu Chengkong didn't expect that the children's poems he recited would make Zhong Liruo feel worshipful, and he was a little overwhelmed, and said, "This is really nothing ......."
Zhongli only thought that Lu Chengkong was modest, and said, "Do you know? When I knew that this poem was written by Lu Gongzi, what appeared in front of me was that a general who went into battle to kill the enemy, after the twilight years, returned to the field after unloading his armor, and could still care about the suffering people in the world. Mr. Lu, I'm ...... I'm really ashamed. ā
Listening to Zhong Liruo's tone of more and more admiration, Lu Chengkong was a little fluttering, he didn't expect that the simplest children's poem in the future world would have such a strong response in this chaotic world. Although he didn't know what to say anymore, he enjoyed the treatment.
After Zhong Liruo stated the thoughts in his heart, he glanced up at Lu Chengkong and said, "Lu Gongzi, with your literary talent, you will definitely be able to go to high school in the imperial examination next year." ā
Lu Chengkong was stunned for a while, and then asked rhetorically, "You...... Do you really wish I could make it to high school? ā
Zhong Liruo's eyes widened, and he said with a little doubt: "Young Master Lu, how could you ask such a question?" I...... Naturally, I hope you can go to high school. ā
Lu Chengkong smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded confidently, and said, "I know, the imperial examination...... High school, I'll definitely be able to. ā
ā¦ā¦
Throughout the night, Lu Chengkong was in a good mood. When he returned home, he was still smiling, and the confidence and pride had not faded, and he secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect it...... I was worshipped at times. ā
These days, although Lu Liang's face is cold, he is worried about his son all the time. At this time, seeing that Lu Chengkong actually smiled at himself, he also felt inexplicable. I guessed that something good must have happened to me, and I wanted to ask, but I could only keep my face down and pretend to be stern.
At night, Lu Liang kept wandering outside Lu Chengkong's door, but finally held back and didn't go in. When he returned to the house, he still smiled with relief, and said to himself: "Chengkong damn, although our son often loves to think cranky, but he is well now and happy every day, you can rest assured......"
Lu Chengkong couldn't help but snicker when he thought of Zhong Liruo looking at his adoring eyes, how could a man not be tempted by such a beautiful woman?
"Imperial Examination...... Zhongjin Sergeant...... So what? Lu Chengkong frowned again, remembering the Haikou boasted in front of Zhong Liruo tonight, and said secretly: "How can I talk nonsense?" ā
"Is this a common problem for men?"
He touched his face, thought for a moment, and said secretly: "A children's poem in the future, although the artistic conception and atmosphere are not right, can bluff all the ancient people, this is my advantage." An ancient person like Luo Xiuyuan is not worth mentioning in front of me at all. ā
The more he thought about it, the more confident he became, "It seems that I will be able to do something great in this world...... Jinshi, Zhong Liruo, wait for me! ā
In this way, Lu Chengkong was in such a crazy state, holding the sachet that Zhong Liruo gave him, smelling the faint fragrance, and falling asleep with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
