Lu Hong is deceased, and even if the Lu's Thatched Cottage in Songshan Hanging Peak, which was thriving, is empty, the scene in its heyday is no longer there. Song Shen is not a famous person from a prominent background, he took over the thatched cottage, and most of the people who can stay and continue to study are students who are from poor backgrounds, have strong intentions, and don't care about fame, and most of the rest have dispersed. Therefore, when he personally came to Chang'an to marry his daughter, he mentioned with guilt that when there were less than fifty people left in the cottage, Du Shiyi did not have any surprises.

"Master Lu had many disciples in the past, some of them were for his knowledge, but more people were for his fame, even if the field was unsuccessful, he claimed to be a disciple of Lu's Thatched Cottage, and returned to his hometown to pay homage to a state and county, and everyone rushed to hire him as a teacher, which was an extremely easy thing. Now that the grand occasion is no longer there, the second senior brother can calm down and run the cottage well. Speaking of this, the apologetic one became Du Shiyi, "But this marriage, although I, as a father, can stay and preside over it personally, I can't delay it for too long after all, I am in a hurry to prepare, I am afraid that I will be wronged by my future daughter-in-law." ”

"The smaller the show, the better, and I don't care about that." Song Shen entered Beijing according to the marriage date set before, but he didn't expect Du Shiyi to be there, and he didn't expect that he had already resigned from Shuofang Hedong Erjiedu. He didn't enter the officialdom, but he also saw the storm in Chang'an City that uprooted many ministers and nobles over the years, although he was not dissatisfied with Du Youlin, the future son-in-law, but he was still inevitably worried. It's just that at this moment, in front of Du Shiyi, he still didn't say the words that came to his mouth.

Because Du Shiyi couldn't delay in Chang'an for too long, the originally scheduled auspicious day was moved forward by more than 20 days, but fortunately, all the preparations began last year, and now Du Mansion has been busy for a while, and he can finally catch up. When the wedding card was sent out, Du Shiyi said to his family half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I heard that when Li Shizhi was the prime minister, his son held a banquet at home to entertain guests, but none of the guests who posted the post came, and they were all frightened by Li Linfu's ferocity. But I don't know how my Du family married this time. ”

Unlike when Emperor Wei Jian's Fu Weiming fell, Li Shizhi was frightened and hurriedly resigned, although Du Shiyi now resigned from the second section of Shuofang in Hedong, the Son of Heaven approved his invitation, and actually allowed his wife Wang Rong to follow him to Anbei Ya Tent City. After all, the rule of officialdom is not to deceive people too much. Therefore, among the guests who received the post, the vast majority of them promised to go to the venue at that time. And Princess Gu'an lent her princess's mansion, which had been empty for many years, as the woman's house for Song Jinxi to marry, and Princess Yuzhen personally sent a box of Taoist books as an additional box, which was even more eye-catching.

As a result, this marriage, which was obviously done in a hurry, turned out to be full of congratulatory guests, and it was very lively. Whether it is Jiang Jiao, who is Li Linfu's cousin and Du Shiyi's in-laws, or Pei Kuan, who is the imperial doctor, Wei Zhi, who is the servant of the ministry, Wang Jin, who is a regular attendant of the left scattered cavalry, and many colleagues or subordinates who have worked with Du Shiyi, most of them came to the scene in person. In the face of such a lively scene, compared with the desolation of Li Shizhi's resignation in the past, even if some people had sighed that the Du family was going downhill before, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts at this time.

Especially when Gao Lishi ordered someone to bring a congratulatory gift, people all remembered that Du Shiyi and the eunuch in the palace had a good relationship, at least far better than the friendship that Wei Jian maintained with gold and silver. So, between the staggered plans, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the envoy of the two towns that Du Shiyi had just lost, but only congratulated Du Men on the joy of marrying a child today.

waited until the greetings in front of him were perfunctory, and when Du Shiyi found an excuse to leave the table and came to the back bedroom, he saw that Song Shen, who was the woman's parent, had been drunk by Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning.

"Senior brother, third senior brother, I still have something to say to the second senior brother, you are too ruthless!"

"His temperament is not suitable for being an official, nor is he suitable for fighting with others, doing studies in a peaceful environment like a cottage, and studying calligraphy, painting, articles, and poetry, this is his future path. I know what you have to tell him, you don't have to worry about it, I won't give people a chance to do anything to him, that's the most important thing for the teacher to leave behind. When Lu Wangzhi said this, he seemed to be saying something extremely common, and then he directly took the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, "The real danger is you, although you barely broke your tail this time, and today's marriage is beautiful, but next time you can't say for sure." ”

"At present, Li Linfu's decline is fully revealed, and once His Majesty's trust is shaken, I am afraid it will be his end. But once he arrives at that day, you are in danger. Pei Ning picked up Lu Wangzhi's words and asked bluntly, "Junli, what are your plans?" ”

"Once Li Linfu falls, Yang Zhao may not be able to take care of me. An Lushan was blocked in the east of the river this time, and he would definitely hate Yang Zhao to the core. ”

Hearing Du Shiyi's words, Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning glanced at each other, and Pei Ning said curiously: "Since you plan to use An Lushan to contain Yang Zhao, then, why did you make so many poems in one breath and throw them to the bookstore before?" Are you going to wait until Wang Zhongji recaptures Shibao City and throw it out, so that you are not afraid that it will harm him? ”

"If Wang Zhongji captures Shibao City, and some people say that these things were concocted by him, the commander who won the battle, and his Majesty will believe it if he talks nonsense with his eyes open, then it means that when the son is hopeless today, no matter what we do next, we don't have to have any psychological burden. If His Majesty can take pity on the people of Li who have hardly rested over the years because of the suffering of the husband, then at least this prosperous era may be able to continue smoothly for ten or twenty years, or even longer, which can be regarded as immeasurable merit, and I will try to protect myself. Of course, if Majesty wants to go after it because of a few words, then I will throw out some more things that can be checked, and let them go to the death! ”

"But I was so stirred up by you, I, the pen name of a native of Beibi Mountain, have already been targeted by people after the case of Yang Shenjin and Wang Jie, if you add this group of poems, I am afraid that it will be completely abolished at that time." Lu Wangzhi spread his hands with some regret and said, "You know, most of those legendary scripts are only serialized for a small half, and the money hasn't been made enough." ”

"Why should the elder brother be arrogant? When the limelight passes, I am afraid that your pen name will surpass the most talented literati and writers since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Du Shiyi made a serious joke, and then said with a subtle face, "Okay, today is the day for my family to marry a daughter-in-law, don't talk about these big things!" While the second senior brother is still drunk here, let's go to the new house together to see how about it later? ”

Pei Ning almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, but Lu Wangzhi got up, grabbed Du Shiyi with great interest and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Although Du Youlin only met Song Jinxi a few times when he went to Songshan Thatched Cottage to meet Lu Hong, every time he was a glimpse, and he would never even speak more than five sentences, but after all, he had already taken a fancy to someone in his heart, which was far better than the marriage of his brother and sister-in-law who got married in a hurry after only seeing one time. Therefore, when he finally finished dealing with the four guests and returned to the new house, he was not as careless as his brother used to be, and brought in hot tea and delicate snacks.

For such a marriage, Song Jinxi was also supported by others, and she didn't even sleep well for a few days in Princess Gu'an's mansion to prepare for marriage, and now the fat powder is gone, her eyes are faintly blue, and her stomach is hungry. Therefore, when her husband brought all the food and drink to her, she was a little embarrassed at first, but under his whispered reminder, she still quickly filled her stomach. It was easy to suppress the feeling of emptiness in her stomach, and she was about to speak, but she heard a somewhat familiar voice outside.

"What are you doing here?"

"Grandpa?"

Outside are his brother and sister! It turns out that they are also listening to the corner!

Hearing the movement outside, Du Youlin inexplicably remembered that when his brother and sister got married, he had done almost the same thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little delicate. However, when his father majestically drove away Du Guangyuan and Du Xianhui, he did not relax there, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly put his index finger to his mouth and gently shhhed his wife who wanted to speak. Then, he crept to the door, and suddenly opened the latch with a quick opening. Sure enough, he saw his father and Lu Wangzhi standing side by side outside the door, and behind them was Pei Ning, who was full of embarrassment.

"Grandpa......" Du Youlin didn't know what to say, seeing that his father looked as usual after being stunned, so did Lu Wangzhi, and he, a junior, was not easy to ask, so he could only say with a pun, "Why are Grandpa and the two uncles here?" ”

"Isn't this worried that you will be drunk by the guests outside and make the bride feel wronged?" Lu Wangzhi said it rightly, and when he saw Du Youlin smiling slightly, obviously not believing it, he said with a smile, "All in all, the people who want to listen to the corner of your new house have been driven away by your grandfather and us, go back quickly!" ”

"Yes, thank you grandpa and the two uncles, it's not too early, please go back and rest early." Du Youlin was not so easy to deceive, so he bowed deeply in place, and saw Pei Ning pull Du Shiyi and Lu Wangzhi away one by one, he was relieved, but he stood for a while, and made sure that everyone was leaving, so he hurriedly closed the door.

And when he turned around and found that the two doors were closed, Lu Wangzhi was eager to go back, and Pei Ning finally couldn't help but glared at him: "It's okay to look like an elder!" ”

Du Shiyi also turned to look at the cave room where the big red candle was lit in the dark night, and remembered the scene when he and Wang Rong finally tied the knot. This time, the three little guys came out upside down, and finally had a thrilling time, and he finally didn't have to be separated from his wife anymore and worry about each other. But then the children's lives have to be lived by themselves!

Thinking of this, he turned sideways and said to Lu Wangzhi and Pei Ning, who were like brothers in front of him: "In the future, I and the young lady will not be in Chang'an, and the children of Hui Niang and A Peng, Youlin and Jinxi will be entrusted to the two senior brothers." There are some things that they should also participate in as much as possible, and the flowers in the greenhouse will not grow. ”
