Autumn in the capital is beautiful.

The leaves of the trees along the moat had turned yellow, and a few dead leaves fluttered and flipped in the cool autumn breeze.

On the official road outside the city, there was a slight spread of dust, and it slowly fell in the golden sunlight. A sturdy black horse galloped from afar, and there seemed to be a fire burning on the horse's back. The fiery red color was wrapped in hearty laughter, which had both the pleasant ears of a woman and the wildness of the frontier.

Behind the black horse, there was a faint sound of the hooves of a large number of horses, but the black horse ran so fast that it disappeared.

Only the yellow dust that fluttered off the official road and the faint aroma of grass and trees remained.

"Mother, I want to eat the salted dried apricots made by Granny Liu on East Street~"

In the courtyard of the Lu family's house, Lu Tang looked at Mrs. Lu with a pleading face.

Mrs. Lu didn't eat her, "I just ate it yesterday, and I want to eat it again today?" The girl's family, how can she eat greedily like a child, and she can't marry if her teeth are broken. ”

Lu Tang flattened his mouth and sat on the chair to eat tea.

In today's house, it is not only Mrs. Lu, but also Aunt Zhang and Liu.

That Aunt Zhang has slightly plump skin, a kind face, and a pair of round almond eyes, which is amiable to look at, and she is gentle and silent on weekdays. Aunt Liu has shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a duck egg face and willow eyebrows, and looks very energetic.

In general, the two aunts are of medium appearance, not too beautiful but also beautiful, so the young masters they gave birth to are also beautiful sons.

Today, they went to Mrs. Lu's house to have something to do, but Lu Tang has been there, so it is inconvenient to say it clearly, so they only accompany them to talk about some gossip.

After a while, Mrs. Lu kicked Lu Tang out and asked her to go to the girls to play by herself.

Lu Tang wandered around the house alone, only feeling very aggrieved - his mother didn't let him eat dried apricots and drove him out, and his brothers also went to school, leaving him alone with nothing to do.

Suddenly I felt that I had become a little pitiful person who was unloved, and I couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and wiped my tears as I walked.

Walking and walking, he felt that a black shadow in front of him was blocking the way, and he looked up with tears in his eyes, but it was his father, Lu Shao and Lu Yushi, this time it was like unloading a flood, Lu Tang's mouth was open, and he pounced on him crying.

Lu Yushi hugged his little daughter, twitched in distress, and couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked: "Tang'er has been wronged?" Tell Daddy, Daddy will help you out! ”

Lu Tang cried so much that he said the reason, only to hear Lu Yushi cry and laugh.

"Poof." There was an untimely laugh from the side.

Lu Yushi seemed to come back to his senses, and hurriedly arched his hand a little embarrassed: "Let Mr. Zhang and Ning Xiaoyou laugh." ”

"It's okay." That gentleman Zhang had a neutral face, eyes like stars, and a dark robe and coat in crow-blue, looking very serious and upright.

Lu Tang knew at this time that he had lost face in front of outsiders, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and ashamed, so he couldn't wait to hide his face and run away immediately. Thinking of the young laughter just now, I only felt as if there was a fire burning on my body, and I couldn't help but secretly raise my eyes to look at it.

But he didn't think about it, and he raised his eyes squarely to a pair of narrow eyes full of smiles. Lu Tang lowered his eyes again as if he was frightened, only to feel that the smiling eyes swept around on him, full of ridicule. I only felt angry and ashamed in my heart, and I couldn't help grinding my teeth with hatred.

"Then Lu Yushi doesn't have to send it again, let's leave first." Mr. Zhang arched his hand and took the lead in walking out.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man behind him also restrained his smile, gave a respectful and serious salute, and followed Mr. Zhang.

Lu Tang saw that the two of them were walking away, so he pulled Lu Yushi's sleeve aggrievedly and asked, "Daddy, who were those two just now?" ”

Lu Yushi led Lu Tang to the study, and replied: "Just now it was Mr. Zhang Yan and his disciple Ning Chang, who is also said to be from Yongzhou, and they are this year's students. ”

"It turns out that he is Mr. Zhang Yan, the great Confucian of Yongzhou." Lu Tang stuck out his tongue, thinking that the great Confucian looked strict and rigid, but there was a disciple like Ji Yue Gongzi who adhered to the style of Wei and Jin.

When I thought of the student who called Ning Chang, I couldn't help but feel bad, I only felt that that person had a good appearance in vain, but he didn't understand the rules at all, which was very unpleasant. It seems that the disciples of the Great Confucian are not all good, but they forgot that they were reckless first, which made others laugh.

Lu Yushi took Lu Tang to the study, motioned for her to sit on the small couch by the window, and sat on the yellow rosewood chair behind the desk, took a sip of tea and asked, "What has Tang'er done recently?" ”

"Yesterday and Qian'er were embroidering flowers in the house, and they were playing shuttlecock with Wei Lu'er, but I went to Huang Jin'er's house in the afternoon before yesterday to see the newly built fish pond." Lu Tang folded his hands and counted a few things, and then he couldn't count them anymore, and suddenly felt aggrieved again.

He puffed out his cheeks, pouted, and reached out to tear the leaves of the swastika orchid in the rose-purple glazed flower pot by the window.

Lu Yushi saw that the orchid was really pitiful, so he coughed, and said after a while: "Why don't you send your father to study in a private school?" ”

Lu Tang used to learn at home, but the old Mr. Fang who was originally invited returned to the countryside last year because of his advanced age, and then he gave up because he had not found a suitable gentleman.

"There are only men in the private school." Lu Tang was still pouting and sullen.

"It's okay, the Taiping Academy has a new women's class, which is taught separately from the men's class, and the curriculum is not the same." Lu Yushi touched his beard and comforted.

Lu Tang thought about it, it sounded interesting, and he could go to the school with his brothers, but he didn't know who the female students in the class were.

Then she asked coquettishly: "Then I might call Huang Jin'er and Wang Qiaojing?" ”

"Nature can." Lu Yushi saw that she didn't talk about the poor Wanzilan, and he was very relieved.

Lu Tang was very happy to solve a matter of concern, and he couldn't wait to ask his friends to share, so he called a few small people on the second door to go to various mansions to deliver posts, and invited Huang Jin'er and them to go to Fengle Building for snacks in the afternoon.

That Fengle Lou is the most famous one of the 72 restaurants in the capital, and Lu Tang's full moon wine was a chef Li who invited Fengle Lou with a lot of money, which can be regarded as a strong stroke in the legend of the Lu family's daughters.

During the six years of Dayan Xuanhe, this Fengle Building was repaired three floors high, the fifth floor was facing each other, each with a flying bridge railing, light and dark communication, bead curtain embroidered forehead, lights and candles flickering, extremely luxurious.

On weekdays, even if Lu Tang is the most favored daughter of the Lu family, he can't afford to come easily, but today he was wronged, then favored, and ridiculed by a nasty ghost.

………………

On the seat by the window on the second floor of Fengle Building, four little ladies sat together and whispered to the birds, all of them were delicate and lovely, not to mention that the shopkeeper liked to entertain, and the other guests also loved it.

Lu Tang ordered a few sweet and salty snacks such as a pair of crisps, rouge cold cakes, steamed chestnut flour cakes with osmanthus sugar, lotus duck sticks, etc., and asked for a pot of Enshi Yulu.

Liu Xueniang likes sweetness the most, and the rouge cold cake in Fengle Lou is notoriously good, and she can't help but smile with crooked eyebrows.

At this time, before the snacks came up, a crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the street below Fengle, mixed with the bright laughter of the daughter's family.

Lu Tang and a few other little ladies couldn't help but be surprised, and looked down. I thought that my daughter who didn't know where she came from was so free and easy, although the people in the capital were open, there was no daughter Lang Lang riding a horse on the street.

Although the probe looked around, he didn't actually see what the woman looked like, and he only felt that a flower in front of him was dazzled by the bright red like the morning glow. If you look closely, you can only see the woman's cloud-like black hair and the tip of her nose. Although I can't see the whole picture, I can strangely be sure that it is an extremely beautiful beauty, and even the black horse under the woman is very powerful.

A few little ladies couldn't help but be stupid.

Lu Tang looked at it fixedly, only feeling that his heart was beating like a drum.

Liu Xueniang only watched and forgot to speak, and she didn't even know that the snacks were coming.

Wang Qiaojing looked at the horse and muttered: "The dragon's spine is attached to the money, and the silver hooves are white and smoked." Look at the woman again, her eyes are brighter, "Hong Luopa wrapped his head in brocade and spat out the words of Chang'an Ranger! ”

She didn't know how to describe it, so she hastily pulled the verses out of her mind to make up the numbers.

Only Huang Jin'er was stunned for a long time, and clapped her hands and said: "She is the granddaughter of the old general, Zhang Zhen!" ”

It turned out to be her.

Lu Tang came back to his senses, and then looked at the large number of entourages following behind the woman, the same high-headed horses, the same high heads, and the same faintly heroic wildness different from the capital.

The group was gone away after a while, and they stopped watching the excitement. Huang Jin'er took the lead in stuffing a piece of crisp into her mouth, and said vaguely: "In the future, Jingli will be lively." ”

Wang Qiaojing took a lotus duck stick that was placed on the mouth of the green glazed sunflower petal and bloomed like a lotus, tasted it and said: "In a few days' chrysanthemum banquet, she will definitely go, I don't know what her personality is, whether it is easy to make friends or not?" ”

"Looks like a very cool person." Liu Xueniang couldn't wait for a long time, and took a bite of a red jade-like rouge cold cake and said with a smile.

Lu Tang didn't answer the topic, just looked at the teacup in his hand with blue ground pastel pattern for many years, and secretly sighed in his heart that the owner of Fengle Building had extravagant decorations, and lamented in his mouth: "I didn't bring enough money." ”

This time the nest was blown up, and several little ladies laughed and scolded, angry and eager to twist Lu Tang's mouth, and repeatedly asked the girl to go back to the house to get the silver.

Lu Tang laughed with a stomachache, and was afraid that they would really let the girl take the silver, so he hurriedly said: "Good sisters, good sisters, I was laughing just now, but I didn't dare to take it seriously." Today, it's decided that I'll be the east! ”

In the end, he was still "ruthlessly" twisted a few times by Huang Jin'er, Lu Tang didn't dare to make trouble anymore, honestly ate snacks, and talked about going to a private school to attend classes.

They were very good friends for a few days, and when they heard that Lu Tang was going to school, Huang Jin'er and the others naturally thought about it, just thinking that everyone would have more fun in one place, so they all responded in a mess, and planned to go back to the school together after telling their families.

Before leaving, I made an appointment to go to Ruyi Rouge Zhai in the south of the city the day after tomorrow, bought some fresh rouge, and prepared to dress up more beautiful at the chrysanthemum banquet, and vowed to suppress Wang Jingjing's few little ladies who were not right on weekdays.
