Chapter 0091: Lufu Birthday Banquet (3)
Zhang Xuan doesn't want to stay in Lu Mansion anymore, he has nothing to do with Lu Mansion, what does Old Man Lu have to do with his birthday? Being with these snobs would only make him humiliated, and he walked quickly towards the gate.
But after walking a few steps, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought that Lu Qingyuan seemed to be welcoming guests outside the gate, and he saw it, and it was estimated that he couldn't go again, so he thought about it, and turned back to the west gate.
He came in from the West Gate, and he vaguely remembered the path back to the West Gate, but Zhang Xuan still underestimated the complex structure of the mansion, and even the people in the mansion would accidentally get lost, not to mention that when he came to the Lu Mansion for the first time, almost all the doors were the same, and many pavilions and pavilions were vaguely familiar.
Zhang Xuan circled a few times, but instead of finding the West Gate, he was getting farther and farther away from the West Gate, and he walked through a unique diamond-shaped courtyard gate, in front of which was a small river, crystal clear and meandering, and there was a small bridge on the small river.
Zhang Xuan walked across the small bridge and entered another courtyard gate, and a pond appeared in front of him, in which the lotus leaves were luxuriant, and the flowers were about to bloom, and the pond was surrounded by rockeries, and on the other side was a long corridor.
Zhang Xuan scratched his head, he knew that he was lost, there were many guests outside, but it was deserted here, no one was there, not even the maid could see it, he felt a little bad, I was afraid that he had broken into the Lu family's inner house by mistake.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Zhang Xuan, the layout of the mansion of the wealthy family is very particular, where is the hall, where is the hall, where is the corridor, where is the inner house, there are rules to follow, most of the guests are like this, everyone will not go wrong, so although there is no mark, no one will recklessly break into the house, which is an unspoken rule of the upper class.
Although Zhang Xuan came to the Sui Dynasty for less than a year, he also had similar rules in his time, such as not being allowed to enter the master's bedroom casually when he went to other people's houses. When using the toilet, you can't use the inner toilet of the bedroom, etc., so Jang Hyun also knows that you can't enter other people's back houses at will.
But the problem is that he doesn't understand the layout of the wealthy family, he doesn't know that the diamond-shaped courtyard gate he just passed through is actually the sign of the back house, and the small river is the boundary between the inner and outer houses, although he lives in Luo Cheng's mansion. But he didn't get a step closer to the back house of Luofu.
Zhang Xuan turned around and was about to leave, but saw two girls walking slowly towards this side more than a dozen steps away, Zhang Xuan was startled, and quickly took a step back, quickly hiding behind a rockery on the side of the road.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan's heart was pounding, and he recognized one of them as Lu Qing, who had not seen him for a few days, and Lu Qing's pale face had regained its clear luster. A jasper hairpin is obliquely inserted in her jet-black hair, her neck is as smooth as snow, and she is very beautiful, and she is still wearing a snow-white long skirt with red silk on her shoulders, which makes her light and slender, and her demeanor is moving.
But there was a hint of indescribable melancholy in her eyes, which was heart-wrenching.
Another girl wears a double phoenix and a golden hairpin. Wearing a yellow dress, her figure is delicate and weak. With fair skin and a slight lack of stature, Zhang Xuan felt that she should be Lu Yun who liked Luo Cheng.
I only heard Lu Yun sigh faintly, "Sister Qing, why did you say that my cousin ignored me, could it be that he has something else in his heart?" ”
"You're thinking too much. Didn't my aunt say that? He was so obsessed with practicing martial arts during this time that he even forgot to eat and sleep, and it is estimated that when he talked to you, he was still thinking about how to practice martial arts. ”
"I don't understand what's so good about practicing martial arts. Is reading bad? Practicing martial arts all day long, becoming rude, how can there be a polite and polite person who likes it. ”
"Sister Yun, the manly husband is not about learning martial arts or practicing martial arts, but whether he dares to stand up to protect his wife, children and parents, those children of the family in the front hall, all of them are powerless, but they can only talk about empty talk, the real danger is coming, I'm afraid that they will run faster than anyone else, Sister Yun, you don't understand what it's like to be a person who can really protect you."
"Sister Qing, do you feel this way?"
Lu Qing smiled slightly, but did not answer her cousin's words, she pointed to a big stone in front of her, "Sister Yun, it's quiet here, let's sit here!" ”
"Good!"
Lu Yun took his cousin's hand and sat down in front of the rockery where Zhang Xuan was hiding, Zhang Xuan's heart jumped wildly, the distance between him and Lu Qing was so close, almost within reach, there was an indescribable warmth in his heart, wasn't Lu Qing talking about himself just now?
"Sister Qing, I heard that the head of the Cui family proposed to my uncle again, is it true?"
"Don't mention it, I'm very annoyed!" Lu Qing said upset.
Lu Yun didn't know the real reason why her cousin was upset, she smiled and said: "Sister Qing, in fact, I think Cui Wenxiang is good, handsome, and knowledgeable, don't everyone say that you are talented and beautiful?" ”
"Say no more!"
Lu Qingteng stood up, with obvious displeasure in his tone, "I don't know any Cui Wenxiang, what does he have to do with me?" ”
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and she said cautiously for a while: "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Qing sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go back!" ”
The two continued along the path and gradually disappeared into the depths of the garden, but Zhang Xuan's heart was heavy, Lu Yun made it clear just now that the head of the Cui family planned to marry Lu Qing to Cui Wenxiang, who was the leader of the group of children of the family just now.
Zhang Xuan slowly clenched his fists, very good, he wanted to see if Cui Zhao could bear the pain of losing his son?
........
Zhang Xuan came out of the back house, walked around a few times in a distraught, but unexpectedly found the West Gate, he stood in front of the door and stopped, at this time he didn't want to go, Cui Wenxiang was in Lu Mansion, but he Zhang Xuan was going to leave, this is a sign of weakness or evasion?
At this moment, Luo Cheng and Lu Yuanqing came out of another door, Luo Cheng saw Zhang Xuan at a glance, and shouted with joy: "Brother-in-law, he is still here!" ”
The two rushed up, grabbed his arm left and right, as if he had escaped again, Lu Qingyuan said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't have left you alone, those guys, hey-"
"That's nothing, I won't bother with them, but I still have something to do, why don't I come back another day"
Without waiting for Zhang Xuan to finish speaking, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "Is there anything I don't know about you?" But it's really boring here, and I won't stop you if you want to go, but you come with me to meet someone first. ”
"Who?"
Luo Cheng smiled mysteriously, "You just come with me." ”
Zhang Xuan also found an excuse not to leave, he followed Luo Cheng to the East Courtyard, which covers an area of about ten acres, although the place is not large. But the environment is the most beautiful, the pavilions and pavilions are elegant and exquisite, the green trees are forests, the clear water is like a mirror, the small bridges are murmuring, and the scenery is beautiful one step at a time.
Because there are too many guests. The East Courtyard was turned into a VIP courtyard, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the imperial court rested here temporarily.
In a small hall, Lu Yi, the second person in the Lu family, was chatting with several prominent generals, in addition to Yuwenshu, there were also the generals Yujuluo and Laihu'er, and Luo Yi, the deputy governor of Youzhou, as the landlord, also accompanied him.
At this time, Luo Cheng walked up to his father and whispered a few words, and Luo Yi smiled at Yu Juluo: "General Yu." He's coming! ”
Yu Juluo is over fifty years old, burly and tall, with a big head like a bucket, and his hair is scattered over his shoulders, like a lion, but his biggest feature is that he has double pupils, and it is rumored that the double pupils are the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, does not like him very much.
However, Yu Kuluo's achievements are impressive. It was the Great Sui pillar, plus Yuwen Shu interceded for him. Therefore, although Yang Guang did not like him, he was still willing to reuse him and sent him to suppress the rebellion in the Jiangnan area.
Yu Juluo perked up and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”
Next to him, Yu Wenshu asked very strangely: "Who does General Yu want to meet?" ”
"A guard of the Yan Palace, I have something to ask him."
Yu Wenshu sneered: "General Yu actually asked for a guard, it is better to ask the old man." Is there anything in the world that an old man can't do? ”
"This"
Yu Kura didn't know what to say, so he had to smile vaguely, "He has something important to me. ”
Yu Wenshu was also strange in his heart, what did Yu Juluo want, he actually asked for a guard, and he was a guard of Yanwang's Mansion.
He got up and smiled, "You sit first." I'll go change and I'll be back right away. ”
A maid led Yuwenshu out of the back door, and after a while, Zhang Xuan walked quickly into the lobby, he had already heard Luo Cheng talk about the situation, he was not panicked, and stepped forward to give a deep salute, "Juniors, see the generals." ”
Yu Juluo hurriedly smiled and said: "Guard Zhang, please excuse me, Yu has something to ask for!" ”
Zhang Xuan was a little uneasy in his heart, could it be for the Ziyang Halberd Scroll? Ziyang halberd and long live boring are martial arts of the same origin, both of which originate from the Ziyang Temple of Zhongnan Mountain.
And Zhang Xuan has always suspected that Shi Wansui probably practiced the Qingshi Sutra back then, so he could start practicing martial arts after the age of thirty and become the world's number one general in one fell swoop.
Yu Juluo had a close relationship with Shi Wansui and obtained the Banzai method, and he was Yuwen Chengdu's master and passed the method to Yuwen Chengdu.
If the news of his own purple yang halberd scroll spreads, the person who is most interested is Yu Juluo, of course Luo Cheng will not say it, but he is afraid that Luo Yi will inadvertently say something.
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless for Zhang Xuan to evade, he stubbornly said: "I don't know what General Yu has to do to help?" ”
"I heard that Guard Zhang has purple insect jade chrysalis in his hand, can you give me five?"
Zhang Xuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he wanted purple insect jade chrysalis, and as long as there were five, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Laihu'er next to him smiled curiously and asked, "General Yu, what is a purple insect jade chrysalis?" ”
Yu Juluo sighed and said: "The purple insect jade pupae is an ice insect produced in the far north, it can adjust the meridians of people, and it is very helpful for adults to practice the art of cohesion. ”
Zhang Xuan's heart jumped suddenly, Shi Wansui really practiced the bluestone scripture, otherwise what would he do with the purple insect jade chrysalis?
At this time, Yu Juluo looked at Zhang Xuan with anticipation, "How about it, is Zhang Gongzi willing to help Yu with this?" ”
Next to Laihu'er's heart also moved, although his second son Lai Yuan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he only has one breakthrough in cohesion, and his martial arts are low, which has always been a regret in his heart, if this purple insect jade chrysalis really has the effect of adjusting the meridians that Yu Juluo said, then he can also let his son try again.
It's just that when he proposed it at this time, it was a bit crowdy, it seemed that he was very greedy, and he was very tempted to come to Hu'er, but he didn't know how to speak.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly: "General Yu has an order, how dare Zhang Xuan disobey?" ”
"It's you!"
Yu Wenshu appeared at the door, his face was full of anger, it turned out that the guard of King Yan that Yujuluo wanted to see was Zhang Xuan.
Yuwenshu was almost killed by Yang Guang, the son of heaven, because of the offering of Yang Xuangan's dummy head, which became a pain in his heart and made him haunt him.
There is also the Tiansi Pavilion incident, his twelve Taibao died tragically, although it was Luo Shixin who killed him, but Yuwenshu has always put his hatred on Zhang Xuan, if it wasn't for Zhang Xuan is Yang Xuan's person, he would have killed him a long time ago.
But Yu Wenshu didn't expect that he actually met Zhang Xuan in the Lu Mansion, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, drew his knife and yelled, "Bastard, the old man is going to kill you!" (To be continued......)
