Chapter 10, Lu You's promise
The chamberlain quickly moved a wooden pier and put it in front of Lu You, who was still kneeling, and then found a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it on the wooden pier, Lu You lowered his eyebrows and peeked at the emperor, and then glanced at Yan Peng with half his head sideways, and then looked at his father, his face was overwhelmed and panicked.
Lu Duan saw that his son was still stunned and scared at this time, and he couldn't help but be very annoyed, and he really wanted to kick it over.
Lu Ming on the side saw that his father was also on the verge of anger, for fear that he would not control it well and scare the eldest brother, so he hurriedly crawled over and patted Lu You's shoulder, and coaxed in a low voice: "Big brother, don't be afraid, my father and I are here, you can write whatever you want just now, and the emperor and father will make decisions for you." ”
When Lu You heard this, he raised his head again and boldly glanced at the emperor, but he quickly lowered his head, pushed Lu Ming away, and then put the inkstone on the wooden pier on the ground, flattened the paper in front of him, picked up the pen, dipped it in the inkstone, thought about it for a while, and began to move the pen.
Yan Peng saw that after this kid started to write, he actually changed his previous submissive appearance, but he was quite curious about what he wanted to write, so he took two steps forward and stood beside him, the first feeling was that this kid's words were not ugly, on the contrary, he was also very stylish, and he usually practiced a lot.
Secondly, the first thing this kid wrote was "Lu You's solemn promise", these words also attracted Yan Peng, it seems that this kid is not as unbearable as rumored, he is a big fool who doesn't understand anything, at least, he also has his own ideas.
It's just, what does this kid want to promise?
As Lu You's words became more and more written, although Yan Peng was shocked in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, on the contrary, he still pouted angrily.
Soon, Lu You put down the pen, picked up the paper and blew the pen and ink, but after glancing at what he had written, he had no bottom in his heart, and glanced at his father timidly.
Lu Duan had already finished reading these lines, and was about to speak, when he saw Lu Ming get up and walk in front of Lu You, take the paper from Lu You's hand, and turn around to give it to the waiter, who bowed down and sent it to Li Cong.
Li Cong didn't answer, but ordered the waiter to read it out directly.
When the chamberlain heard this, he picked up the broom and swung it back, and then he began to read:
"Lu You solemnly promised, first, if the eldest lady of the Yan family is willing to marry me, I will be good to her for the rest of my life; Second, if the eldest lady of the Yan family marries my brother Lu Ming as his wife, I will ask myself to leave Beijing and never return to the capital for the rest of my life; Third, if the eldest lady of the Yan family looks for a short time again, I am willing to apologize with death; Fourth, if the eldest lady of the Yan family becomes a nun, I am willing to build a grass house near her; Fifth, if the eldest lady of the Yan family marries someone else, I am willing to give everything I can and never disturb each other. ”
"Count you kid still have a bit of affection." I have to say that this promise moved Li Cong somewhat, so he took the piece of paper from the eunuch's hand, "This is a good handwriting, how many years have you studied?" ”
Lu You didn't speak, but stretched out a slap.
"Back to the emperor, this child went to school at the age of five, but because he didn't know how to speak, Mr. couldn't test his homework, so after the age of ten, he gradually gave up on him, and he listened to it if he was willing to go to class, and he didn't want to learn by himself in the room, this kid didn't know what was going on, but he was obsessed with reading and practicing calligraphy, but he didn't want to see people." Rikubata explained.
"Oh? Was it born this way, or did it happen later? Li Cong naturally knows that Lu You's identity is sensitive, and the Lu family only has these two sons, and Lu Duan did not go on expeditions in the early years, so it is very likely that this child has become so timid after experiencing some suppression and change.
Because judging from his appearance alone, Lu You is not worse than Lu Ming, what he lacks is only education and bearing, judging from his words, this kid is not a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, which is worth pondering.
Li Cong was born in the royal family, and he is more sensitive and insightful to this kind of thing than ordinary families.
"It is reported that it has been like this since he spoke, Erlang is the same age as him, and the two children learned to speak almost at the same time, at first they were jumping out word by word, and no one paid attention to it, but two years later, Erlang can speak into a sentence, and Dalang is still like this, for this reason, his mother and Humble Jing have bothered to invite famous doctors and teachers for him, but it's a pity... Lu Duan didn't say the rest of the words, instead shook his head and sighed.
After all, it is his own flesh and blood, and he only has these two sons, how can he not want to teach this child well?
"That's it, you guys kneel down, I have friends left, I still have something to say to you." Li Cong was obviously not very satisfied with Lu Duan's answer, but this was the Lu family's family matter, so he naturally would not interfere.
When Lu Duan heard this, he guessed that the emperor must have been a little loose, his heart was happy, but his face was not obvious, and after resigning in a proper manner, he stepped forward to help Lu You, dragged him back a few steps, and then turned to leave.
As soon as the three of the Lu family's father and son left, Li Cong handed the paper to Yan Peng, "You take this to Yan'er and ask her what she means." I thought, although Lu Ming's kid is good, but he has a dislike, not a good match, even if I decree that he marry Yan'er, but Yan'er may not have a good time marrying in the past, rather than this, it is better to consider Lu You, at least although this kid is stupid, but his heart is transparent, he will not treat our children slowly, and when they have their own children in the future, as long as it is not too outrageous, I can give him a fame no matter what, and Yan'er will have security in the future. ”
"The emperor is reasonable, but the minister is a little unwilling. That's it, according to what the emperor said, the minister went to ask Yan'er in person. The old man of the Queen Mother also asked the emperor to enlighten him more. Yan Peng knew that this was the best result.
is also a man, of course he knows what the emperor is worried about, if he really forced Lu Ming to marry Yan Yan, in case Lu Ming is unwilling, is it possible that they can still force him into Yan Yan's room?
But Lu You is different, he is ashamed of Yan Yan, Yan Yan is married, he promised to be good to Yan Yan, it should be true, after all, except for Yan Yan, no good girl can take a fancy to him, even if he is attentive in the future, it is just a few maids and concubines or something, which will not affect Yan Yan's status.
"Well, go ahead, remember to show her this." Li Cong said.
He has seen Yan Yan many times, and when his aunt and grandmother were alive, he took her into the palace to see the Queen Mother, and then every year Dingnanhou Madame would also take her into the palace to go around, so Yan Yan gave him the feeling that he was a well-read, not arrogant, very self-contained and generous girl, but unfortunately, his life was not good.
Such a girl should have her own opinions, right? It shouldn't be so superficial and only fancy the Lu family's false name, right?
