"When did Lu Daxia become so unconfident?" The smile on the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth was full of fun, but this smile was fleeting, and his expression gradually became a little serious, "Jing Xing, I understand your mood." Therefore, I actually thought about leaving the Lu Mansion for a while, but I didn't plan to go to my father-in-law's house. ”

Lu Jingxing was a little curious, and asked, "Where is Xiao Xiao going to go?" ”

"Yiyue Palace. Some things haven't been resolved yet, so I just took the opportunity to go out for a while and went to Yiyue Palace to finish the matter of the Kun Bone Mirror. This matter will have to be resolved sooner or later, and if you don't go now, you will have to run again in the future, which seems troublesome. Besides, I don't want to drag it out too long. Ling Xiao moved his head resting on his shoulder, and his voice was unusually flat mixed with the sound of rain.

Lu Jingxing blinked slightly, and looked at her sideways: "Okay." Do you want me to go with you? ”

"No, since it's a secret trip, the target can't be too big, if you leave, the third brother is afraid that they won't be able to stay in the Lu Mansion, so I'll tell the third brother about it when I leave." Ling Xiao had already thought about this matter, if Zhong Limu knew about her idea of leaving, then he would definitely not be relieved of her, and he might not agree with her decision, but now was really not the time for her to stay in the Lu Mansion.

Besides, if Lu Jingxing went with her, then the lord of the mansion was gone, how could this not attract the attention of the secret agents, thus making them suspicious? These people have always been sensitive to such things.

The broken hair swept on his forehead, Ling Xiao felt a slight itch, and couldn't help but raise his hand to brush it behind his ear, and inadvertently looked into the distance. Her eyes were deeper, and through the vast line of rain, a hazy figure was hurrying towards them, her head hanging down under the edge of the umbrella.

When the figure got closer, Ling Xiao saw clearly that it was Lu Ci. She naturally raised her head from Lu Jingxing's shoulder, brushed off Lu Jingxing's arm that held her, and sat up straight.

Lu Jingxing smiled lightly, looked at her and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Xiao glanced at him angrily and didn't speak. Can't she see it? He asked such a question on purpose to make fun of her. In fact, as a modern person, her thinking is not so old-fashioned, but such an intimate act is seen by outsiders as something inappropriate after all, not because of shyness, but because the environment in which she lives today is ancient.

"Mansion Master, why are you here? What's there to do with this? Everywhere there was the stench of horse manure. Lu Ci, who walked into the shed, frowned as he spoke, leisurely put away the umbrella, held it in his hand, and held a paper booklet in his other hand, "I've been looking for you for a while, and those two grooms told me that you are here." ”

"Is there something important?" Lu Jingxing glanced at Lu Ci, and then his gaze fell on Lu Ci's hand.

Lu Ci put the umbrella horizontally on the seat, sat opposite Lu Jingxing with a big grin, and handed over the booklet in his hand: "This is the document given to you by the government." ”

Lu Jingxing took it, opened it and glanced at it a few times, and then closed it again, but there was no big reaction.

It turned out to be a document given by the government, which couldn't help but make Ling Xiao curious in his heart, so dignified, why did the government give Lu Jingxing a document? He is not from the government, and Wen Mu was sent out of the city.

Ling Xiao took the document from Lu Jingxing's hand, opened it and roughly read the contents on it, and after closing it, his eyes looked at Lu Jingxing a little stranger, and he was still a little puzzled: "You changed your name?" No, why did the surname change? ”

Hearing Ling Xiao ask like this, he could only smile helplessly: "It's not that I want to change, it's the government." ”

"Jing, Jing Shenlu." Ling Xiao casually repeated the name, this is the new name of her beloved, in fact, she thinks this name is not bad, but the government has even changed the surname, which seems to be a little too unreasonable, and this name is less poetic than the original name.

Lu Ci glanced at his mansion master and saw that he was indifferent, so he took the initiative to explain to Ling Xiao: "'Jing Shen Lu' should be regarded as the real name of the mansion master, and the surname of the previous mansion lords of the Lu Mansion, including the relatives, is actually 'Jing'. Only my father and I have no kinship with the lord of the mansion will take the name of the mansion as my surname. ”

"I've never heard you mention these things before, and it feels new." Ling Xiao turned his head to look at the person beside him, his expression still a little weird. Because it was a matter of her beloved, she became interested, and her words revealed that she wanted to know more about these things.

The corners of Jing Shenlu's mouth warmly evoked a faint smile, and he looked at Ling Xiao slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, and he sighed lightly: "I almost forgot about the name." Since Xiao Xiao wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt for me to talk about it. ”

Ling Xiao blinked, nodded slightly, and his face was calm, waiting for Jing Shenlu's next words.

"This name is naturally taken by my father, the surname is 'Jing', the single name has a 'line' character, and the word 'Shen Lu' can only be regarded as a word, and my father originally planned to use it when I was crowned." Jing Shenlu paused after finishing speaking.

Seeing Ling Xiao listening carefully, he explained: "It's just later, when I was a child, in order to avoid the title of a prince, everyone with the surname Jing had to change their surname, so I took the name of the mansion as the surname, but added the word 'Lu' to the original name." And now that the prince has passed away, anyone who wishes to do so can change their surname back. ”

In fact, hundreds of years ago, Jing Shenlu's family was originally surnamed "Lu" and "Jing". It was only later that the surnames gradually became unified, so their family surnames continued to use "Jing", and "Lu" was only used as the name of the prefecture.

"But I read the content on the document, it seems that the government took the initiative to change it back for you. Roughly speaking, the name 'Lu Jingxing' is used by too many people and appears too frequently, if there are people who are traitors, it is easy to be confused, so it is necessary for the people not to have the same name. This government is really interesting. Ling Xiao glanced at Wen Mu again, and finally landed on the big red official seal at the end of the paper.

However, Ling Xiao looked back and felt that the government's approach was also reasonable, after all, there was no such thing as fingerprint testing in this society, and if ordinary people really committed a crime, they could only distinguish it by their names and appearances. Moreover, today's population is far less than the population of modern society, less than one-tenth, so it is completely possible to ensure that personal names are not reused.

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Lu Ci rolled his eyes and pouted: "The government is full." ”

"I only know that I need to avoid the emperor, and I haven't heard of it, and I haven't heard of even the prince's secret." Ling Xiao had to admire the harshness of this hierarchy.

Jing Shenlu lowered his head slightly and looked at the document in Ling Xiao's hand, and explained lightly: "In the Central Plains Country, where the hierarchy is strict, there is actually no such regulation. It's just that as far as I know, that prince is ......"

Seeing that Jing Shen Lu raised his eyes and looked at Ling Xiao when he said it, he hesitated a little, and Lu Ci grabbed the conversation without thinking: "Zuo Qiuji's uncle, at that time, for some reason, he was made a king, and then there was such a thing, such a domineering behavior, it is simply not to put your father in his eyes, but his title is not hereditary." ”

"They are acting like this, just to show the emperor, I want the emperor to understand, no one dares to help them, even the Ninety-Five Supreme does not have that ability. Yan Linghan and the third brother have more or less mentioned to me that the Zuoqiu family has been tyrannical to the court for many years, and the emperor just took over a mess from the hands of the former emperor. After listening to Lu Ci's words, and thinking of what Zhong Limu sometimes mentioned to her unintentionally, Ling Xiao seemed to understand the essence of this matter.

Of course, no matter how domineering the Zuoqiu family was back then, they were still afraid of the Zhongli family and were not willing to compete with each other. After all, the Zhongli family is also a famous family that has existed for hundreds of years, and the family history is a hundred years longer than the Zuoqiu family. But at that time, the power of the Zhongli family was far inferior to that of the Zuoqiu family, otherwise it would not have allowed the Zuoqiu family to control the government.

Most of the Zhongli family relies on external forces, whether it is a side line or a direct line in the family, most of them have been foreign ministers in the past dynasties, and there are clansmen who are officials in various countries, not limited to the Central Plains Kingdom, many clansmen are more obsessed with self-reliance, rather than guarding a hereditary cloud throne.

Just like Zhong Limu's uncle, he has always been in the Donghuan Kingdom, with a status below one person and above ten thousand. Therefore, in a family like this, if Zuoqiu succeeded them back then, if they really wanted to compete with each other openly, they would have to weigh the weight.

It is not difficult to overthrow the Zhongli family's power in the Central Plains, but the consequences are immeasurable. And now the power of the two families is equal, so they only dare to target Zhong Liyuan alone, just because Zhong Liyuan has the blood of the Xiang family in his body, all they want to do is cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

At night, the autumn rain did not stop, and Zhong Limu insisted on keeping vigil for her outside Ling Xiao's door. After what happened last night, he could no longer rest assured that Ling Xiao would be left alone, not only to prevent assassins, but also to prevent Jing Shenlu, worried that his future brother-in-law would take advantage of his sister in the middle of the night like he did last night.

Ling Xiao never thought that her third brother would do what he said, and he couldn't persuade him to leave, so she couldn't cry or laugh because of this.

"Childe, don't worry, the assassins were killed last night, and nothing will happen today. There is me here, I will accompany the second lady every inch tonight, you can go back to sleep with peace of mind. This is the fifth time that Que'er has repeated such words to Zhong Limu, but it seems that it still has no effect, and Que'er can't help but roll her eyes when she stands at the door.

Under the dim light, Ling Xiao glanced at the hazy figure standing under the eaves with a sword in his arms. Seeing that he was unmoved by Qi'er's words, he had to open his mouth again in person, but from a different angle of persuasion: "Third brother, I have promised you that there will be no accident tonight." You see, it's cold tonight, and it's raining, and you're going to get sick if you stay out all night like this. If you really want to protect me, then you have to take care of your own body first, otherwise, how can you protect me? ”

For the matter of changing the name of the male protagonist,The small page should be well explained.。 Actually, I don't want to change it, I already have deep feelings for the name "Lu Jingxing", but if I don't change it, I feel uncomfortable, and I feel sad if I change it.

When I was thinking about the male protagonist's name, it was in March 2019, and I was reviewing for the college entrance examination, so the source of the male protagonist's name was in a mock exam, when I was doing a Chinese test paper, and a sentence appeared in the title of the final essay: "The scenery is stopped, the mountains are uplifted, although it can't be reached, but the heart yearns for it." This sentence comes from the Book of Poetry, at that time I had a flash of inspiration in my mind, and I felt that the word "Jingxing" was really good, so I decided to use it for the male protagonist of the novel, and added a "Lu" word, which felt quite perfect.

At that time, when I decided to use this name, I also typed these three words on Baidu, but I didn't find any novels that used this name.

However, when I inadvertently typed these three words into it last night, it turned out that at least three different novels had the male protagonist with this name. I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, but I suddenly felt a pimple in my heart, and I felt like I had lost something important.

Because I've always disliked the same things as people's homes, including abstract things. Since this male protagonist has a celebrity who uses it, then I won't use it again, so I decided to change the name of the male protagonist. I think it's strange myself.,The novel has been written for so long.,I'm changing the name of the male protagonist now.。

The novel hits the streets, but it's emotional for me, including every character in it.

Of course, that new name is the male protagonist of another new article of mine, and now I can only take it again.
