Chapter 39 (2)
When Lu Duan rushed to the door of the prince's East Palace, Lu Ming was spinning around like an ant on a hot pot, and when he saw his father, Lu Ming seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his father's clothes.
According to Lu Ming, he and Lu You separated after they were brought, and Lu You followed the two guards into the house, while he was waiting at the door.
Half an hour ago the prince had returned, but he had gone in after saying two words, and had not yet summoned him.
Lu Duan reprimanded Lu Ming twice, and then stuffed a silver ingot into the eunuch guarding the door, begging them to pass it on.
At that time, Li Ji was sitting in the hall with a few pieces of paper written by Lu You and reading carefully, which recorded the process of his breaking into the Yan family library that day.
According to Lu You's own words, it was indeed Lu Ming's whim that day that he wanted to take him to meet those sons of the family, so that he could see for a long time, originally he didn't want to go, but Mrs. Lu helped to speak, which means that he is not young anymore, and he can't hide at home without seeing anyone for the rest of his life, so he followed Lu Ming out.
But when he really got to these people, Lu You found that he couldn't fit in at all, and he couldn't face these ridiculed and contemptuous eyes, so he walked out of the pavilion by himself.
In his own words, it was indeed the library that he had stumbled into by mistake, and when he entered, the library was empty, so he found a random book and read it.
But before he read a few pages, he heard a few girls coming in, as if they were going to change clothes or something, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, trying to stop the other party, but he didn't expect that it was still a step too late, and the other party still took off a coat.
Originally, he wanted to run at this time, but at this time, the girl who was undressing fainted, and someone next to him screamed, and someone ran out to shout.
Lu You didn't write about the rest of the matter, but he also mentioned a few promises he made to the emperor that day.
Li Ji finished reading the papers in his hand and folded them and put them away, and then ordered someone to invite Lu Duan and Lu Ming in.
After Lu Duan entered the door, he first glanced at his son, and saw Lu You kneeling in the middle of the room, with his head down, Lu Duan couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, so he had to salute the prince first.
"Duke Lu, you are too careful, I just want to meet the two Linglang, I am ashamed, Brother Ning and I have been friends for many years, Lu Fu has been there more than once or twice, for so many years, I have always heard that the eldest son of the Lu family has a hidden disease, but after all, I didn't understand what was going on, it really shouldn't be." After Li Ji finished speaking, he got up and walked in front of Lu You.
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is Xiao Ke's dereliction of duty, Xiao Ke was ignorant when he was young, and he has always been ashamed of having such a brother, plus his brother really doesn't want to see people, so Xiao Ke didn't mention him in front of outsiders. Over time, Xiao Ke ignored his brother. "How dare Lu Ming admit that the prince is at fault, and he hurriedly takes the responsibility.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lu You has always been ashamed to see people, and he can't speak, so he can't blame Lu Ming for this. As the saying goes, if you don't raise your godfather, if Lu You has a collision today, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a little more care in the face of the minister. Lu Duan bowed after speaking.
There's no way, you can't put your only able-bodied son back into it for a useless mute, right?
"Oh, the mouth can't speak? Can you hear someone talking? Or is it innate? Li Ji lowered his head and asked Lu You.
Lu You raised his head, "Yes, yes, yes... ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, he can hear others talking, but he doesn't dare to speak, he stutters badly, and over time, he simply doesn't speak, and hides in the study all day long. It was Xiao Ke who took him to Yan's house that day, and for this reason, Xiao Ke has been feeling deeply remorseful these days. Lu Ming replied on his behalf.
"Yes, yes, yes, this kid took Da Lang out that day, and he couldn't be clearer about the process during the period." Lu Duan echoed.
"Gong Lu, Brother Ningning, why don't you go to the side and rest first, and I will ask Lu You a few questions myself." Li Ji wanted to try how bad Lu You's stuttering was.
When Lu Duan heard this, he had to pat Lu You's back and coax softly: "Child, the prince can answer whatever you ask, don't be afraid, Dad is here." ”
Lu You quickly glanced up at his father, then at Li Ji, and then hung his head again.
"Get up, sit and talk." After Li Ji finished speaking, he ordered someone to move a stool for Lu You, and at the same time brought him a cup of herbal tea, and he himself sat opposite, also holding a cup of tea in his hand.
"Take a sip of herbal tea, don't be afraid, I don't mean anything else, I just want to talk to you, I once saw you in your house a few years ago, when you were painting, I remember painting a landscape painting, the painting is really good, I like that painting very much, the artistic conception is very good, quite a bit of Mr. Wuliu's taste."
Lu You raised his head when he heard this, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, "You, you... ”
It's a pity that after "you" for a long time, he still didn't say it after all.
"You like to read?" Li Ji asked patiently.
Lu You nodded, probably afraid that the portion would not be enough, so he added another word, "Hmm." ”
"Whose articles do you like to read?"
"Li Li Li, Li Li Li Bai." The last word "white" is spoken by biting your tongue.
"Li Bai?" This was a bit unexpected for Li Ji.
But then I think about it, for a person like Lu You, who has never been out and has no friends who can only find the joy and hope of life from the stacks of books, it is easy to like Li Bai's freedom, freewheeling and casualness, and of course, heroic and uninhibited, not to mention anything else, the famous mountains and rivers that Li Bai has walked through are enough to make Lu You worship.
"I also like Li Bai very much, it is said that he went to the country at the age of twenty-five to resign from his relatives and travel, and traveled back and forth in his life, and also served as an official for a few years, and then was excluded and exiled, for this reason, his life is full of ups and downs of variables, poor, rich, proud, and frustrated, so he will leave so many popular poems, I have also read a lot of his poems, the most favorite is the song "Will Enter the Wine", I am born to be useful, and the daughter is scattered and returned, but unfortunately, this kind of free and easy I and other ordinary people are beyond the reach of the dust, what about you, which one do you like?"
Lu You's eyes turned red when he heard this, because since he was a child, no one has ever been so patient, so friendly and so equal to talk to him, and the other party is still a high-ranking prince.
"I, I, I... Lu You was excited, but he still couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he was in a hurry and gestured with his hand.
"Don't worry, I see, you mean you like this poem? In this way, I know that you are good at painting, and I will take a look at the artistic conception you want to express in this poem. After Li Ji finished speaking, he ordered someone to take him to the study next door and prepared a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for him.
