Chapter 14 Autumn Season
The day passed quickly.
Lu Tang sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked back at the Taiping Academy, only to see the remnant sun like blood, Qinghua Mountain was quiet and solemn, and his heart was inexplicably quiet.
"Miss, bring some preserved fruit tomorrow." Pu Jia sat on the side and smiled.
"Well, then bring some dried apricots and preserved peaches." Lu Tang came back to his senses and said casually.
He tilted his head and thought about it again, and continued to instruct: "Bring some more sour plums, and you can take a few refreshing ones after eating." ”
Pu Jia smiled and nodded in response.
…………
Mrs. Lu in the Lu Mansion has been hanging in her heart since she sent Lu Tang out of the door in the morning. For a while, I was sad that Lu Tang went to school on the first day, afraid that she would not be adaptable; After a while, I was worried that the classmates in the school were unfriendly and bullied her. But she didn't think about it at all, her youngest daughter not only had a few brothers in the school to take care of, but she was also the only daughter of Yushi, and there were a few people in the world who dared to bully her.
finally heard some movement on the outer door, and Mrs. Lu, who was about to wear it, hurriedly urged the maids to take a look. Sure enough, after a while, Lu Heng's brothers and sisters lifted the curtain and walked into the house, smiling and saluting her.
"How is Tang'er doing today?" Mrs. Lu gently touched her little daughter's hand, only to feel that she had lost a lot of weight after only one day out, and she was very distressed.
"Today is very good, the gentleman of Taiping Academy is very friendly, and the piano class is invited by Liu to teach. The classmates are also familiar with each other, and they are all young ladies from various provinces in the capital. Lu Tang sat in Mrs. Lu's arms and answered seriously with his fingers crossed.
After that, she tilted her head and thought about it, and then told Mrs. Lu about the students' competition with arrows today, and the description was colorful, which made her mother very happy. Of course, because she really didn't like Ning Chang very much, she wrinkled her nose and added oil and vinegar to say something clever about him.
Mrs. Lu heard that her youngest daughter was showing a little resentment to Na Ning Chang between the lines, so she said a little narrowly: "I think he is not conformist and very smart." ”
"If it's about intelligence, then Jiyue Gongzi is the top power." Lu Tang flattened his mouth at his mother's praise of Ning Chang, and couldn't help but raise the son of Jiyue, who he thought was extremely powerful, to come out and press him.
"Both of them are very capable of being able to do so, and they are both outstanding talents." Lu Er also said with a slight smile.
The young masters next to him obviously thought the same way, and their eyes showed a look of approval.
"I heard that Na Ning is often a new disciple of Zhang Daru, and he is also from Yongzhou. I'm afraid that in this year's autumn, he will fight for the solution. Lu Ji squinted his fox eyes, touched his chin and said.
Lu Tang couldn't help but be a little anxious when he heard this, and sat up straight and said, "Isn't it that the brothers also have to fight with Na Ningchang?" ”
The Lu family has three young masters participating in the Autumn Festival this year, namely the second young master Lu Heng, the third young master Lu Jiu and the fourth young master Lu Fang. Lu Wu and Lu Liu, because they were younger and not good at learning, planned to participate in the autumn festival three years later.
Among the three young masters of the Lu family who participated in the Autumn Festival this year, Lu Er, who has been known as "Qiliner" since he was a child, is the most outstanding, and it is secretly rumored in Beijing that this year's Xie Yuan is none other than Lu Heng. Some people also think that Lu Jiu, the third young master of the Lu family, behaves perversely on weekdays, which is incomprehensible, and the article is even more unusual, saying that he can't find another way to win the blue eyes of the examiner. Only the fourth young master, Lu Fang, has always been decent, calm but not very brilliant, and everyone doesn't mention him.
But no matter how these rumors go around, this Xie Yuan's name can't get around the few young masters of the Lu family.
However, somehow in this Taiping Academy, a Ning Chang appeared for no reason. After inquiring again, this person turned out to be a new disciple of Mr. Zhang Yan, a great Confucian in Yongzhou.
You must know that Zhang Daru's conditions for accepting disciples are extremely harsh, and there are only a few people after so many years. In addition to Zhu Yuhe, the first genius in Jiangnan, and Mu Zhao, a prodigy in Shandong, who were accepted more than ten years ago, only Qin Zhan, the son of Jiyue, was accepted. Lu Heng, the unicorn son of the Lu family, was not allowed to worship his disciples for a long time, although he was praised by Zhang Daru for a few words, but in the end he only got a book of his annotations.
This Ning Chang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is really surprising. And he is not only a disciple of Zhang Daru, he is both civil and military, has absolute ability, and the still alive Yan Ru Shunhua is not much worse than Jiyue Gongzi.
Everyone couldn't help but feel that the ownership of Xie Yuan in this autumn was like seeing flowers in the fog, and they really couldn't guess clearly.
On the one hand, everyone thinks that Lu Er and others are famous, and Zhongzhiyuan is well deserved. On the other hand, he felt that Ning Chang was menacing and talented, but he was afraid that he would have to compete with the Lu family. The people who watched the play secretly exclaimed, and some prodigal gamblers in the capital made a game behind their backs, betting on who would be the winner of the Xie Yuan this year.
"Tang Tang doesn't have to worry, Xie Yuan's name has always been obtained by those who are capable, and he can't force it. And fame is something outside of the body, and it is not a matter of concern, so there is no need to be so concerned. Lu Er looked at Lu Tang and smiled gently.
Lu Tang flattened his mouth a little aggrieved, and couldn't help but nest into his mother's arms like a kitten.
Everyone said a few more gossips, and after a while, Mingzhu walked in with a smile and reported that the master was back. Several young masters hurriedly went out to meet their father, and Lu Tang also went to the courtyard with his brothers to greet him. Lu Yushi saw that his little daughter's delicate appearance was really beloved, and asked her many things in the school before letting her go.
When they had left the main court, they scattered back to their own courtyards, and did not mention it.
Lu Tang walked slowly on the way back to the yard, picking up a slightly yellowish sycamore leaf and playing. Lu'er waited at the gate of the courtyard early, and when she saw Lu Tang and the others coming back, she immediately shouted happily to the courtyard: "Miss is back!" ”
After saying that, he greeted him happily, and said that the young lady had worked hard and waited. Cai Wei in the courtyard hurriedly put down the work in her hand and came out, smiled and greeted several other little girls.
Everyone hugged Lu Tang back to the courtyard, most of the girls had never gone out, and they were young and had never seen much of the world. As soon as I entered the house, I couldn't hold back my curiosity, this one asked if Taiping Academy was big, and the other asked if there was anything interesting, and the girls chattered so loudly that Lu Tang had a headache. He ordered them to ask Pu Jia to go, leaving Cai Wei to serve her in the house.
Pu Jia smiled and took Lu'er, Taoxiang and a few other stupid little girls out of the house, and went to the courtyard to tell them some interesting stories about what happened in the academy today.
Cai Wei vaguely heard what Pu Jia said in the house, and couldn't help but yearn for it. When Lu Tang saw it, he put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "If you want to go, I will take you to see the world next time." ”
"Then the slave will thank you, Miss." Cai Wei couldn't help but be very happy in her heart, and said beautifully.
