Chapter 105: Honesty

Lin Donghai sat down on the main seat and said to Lu Ming: "I have already heard about the matter of the virtuous nephew, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, you have such an achievement, I am really grateful." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

"Uncle has won the prize. Lu Ming said.

"Now that you have become the first famous Maocai, then I can rest assured that Xiaoyan will be handed over to you to take care of, I have really wronged you over the years, my uncle used to treat you like this, don't you hate me?"

"This ......"

Lu Ming's face changed slightly, recalling Lin Donghai's previous indifference to himself, and suddenly understood something, and said: "I understand my uncle's hard work, you want to use this to motivate me to study hard and gain fame, the reason why I am not allowed to associate with Xiaoyan is because I don't want to be dragged down by my children's personal affairs and ruin my future." ”

"So you already knew. ”

Lin Donghai showed a relieved expression and said, "Your father and I are close friends, since you want to be my son-in-law, if you don't have a reputation, how can you have the ability to protect Xiaoyan?"

"When I learned that your parents died, I was really sad at that moment, but I couldn't do anything to train you to become a talent, so I made you decide to study hard in this extreme way. ”

"At that time, Xiaoyan cried day and night, begging me not to stop your relationship, but it is precisely because your relationship is so close that I ruthlessly separated you, I know it is cruel to do so, but at least it can make you have a distance, and now that you are famous, I can tell you the truth. ”

When Lin Donghai said this, there were tears faintly in the corners of his eyes, and then he used the action of drinking tea to cover up the past.

Lu Ming suddenly realized, and couldn't help but fall into the memory, Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan in the past were indeed too close, almost reached an inseparable relationship, if it were not for Lin Donghai's ruthless actions, I am afraid he would not have made up his mind to work so hard.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming suddenly said: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot." ”

"Although this method is indeed too extreme, if it weren't for such a spur to study hard, I am afraid that I would not even be able to pass the academic examination now, so I don't blame you, even if you didn't say these things to me today, I won't have any complaints. Lu Ming said.

"Thank you. ”

Lin Donghai stood up and saluted Lu Ming.

"You're welcome. Lu Ming returned the salute.

"You have competed for the top name of this year, Yan Weiqing is willing to gamble and lose, and will never come to us for trouble again, so my uncle will abide by the agreement and promise you and Xiaoyan to marry, but I don't know when you plan to get married?"

"That's what my nephew is here for. ”

Lu Ming said: "Although I have now become a Maocai of the Liang State, I have offended many officials of the imperial court because I wrote a poem "Summer Quatrain", so I don't plan to complete this family affair at present, please forgive my uncle." ”

"I see. ”

Lin Donghai nodded and said: "Yan Shoufu is a minister of the central government, with great influence, most of the civil and military officials are his protΓ©gΓ©s, so to speak, the place under the rule of his disciple is enough to have half of the country of Liang, if it is not for Yang Xiuyuan to confront him, I am afraid there will be a rebellion." ”

"You used "Summer Quatrain" to criticize Yan Shoufu, and you are extremely inconsistent with the children of the Yan family, and now that you are famous, they will definitely do everything possible to harm you, your decision is very far-sighted. ”

"So my uncle doesn't object to my suggestion?"

"Of course. ”

Lin Donghai said with a smile: "As long as you have a marriage contract, the time of marriage will be set by you, and you can rest assured to go to Shaoming Mansion to study." ”

"Thank you, uncle. Lu Ming said.

"I don't agree!", a voice suddenly remembered.

Lin Xiaoyan walked into the living room and said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Ming, do you think that you have become a Maocai, and you start to dislike me?"

"Little goose?"

Lu Ming's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I just thought ......"

"Lu Ming, have you forgotten the friendship between us? Do you think that I am not worthy of you, so I find an excuse to delay the marriage and break the contract in the end?", Lin Xiaoyan asked.

"Little goose, please listen to my explanation, this matter is definitely not what you think. ”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyan had misunderstood this matter, which was a bit difficult to do.

Lin Donghai's face changed for a moment, and then he took a sip of tea and was silent.

"I don't want to listen to you, and I don't want to. ”

Lin Xiaoyan said: "Since you are going to study in Shaoming Mansion, then I will also go with you." ”

"Huh?", Lu Ming's face was stunned.

"Poof!", Lin Donghai couldn't help but squirt out the tea.

Lin Xiaoyan continued: "We have been separated for so long, and you finally became Maocai, do you want to leave me behind?

"Xiaoyan, you really misunderstood me, I haven't forgotten the friendship between us, but now I haven't settled down, I not only have to study on the one hand, but also beware of the civil and military officials secretly framing me, so ......"

"I know, that's why I'm with you, if there's any difficulty, we'll bear it together. ”

Lin Xiaoyan said firmly: "Besides, are you really so willing to leave me and let me worry about you at home every day, but you can't do anything?"

"This ......", Lu Ming was speechless.

Lin Donghai interjected: "Lu Ming, I think you should let Xiaoyan accompany you, after all, you haven't been together for a long time." ”

"This ......"

Lu Ming hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll just promise." ”

"Great!"

Lin Xiaoyan excitedly threw herself into Lu Ming's arms, "We can finally be together." ”

"Alright, don't be naughty. ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go to Shaoming Mansion with Chen Jun, you should also prepare well, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Leaving tomorrow?so fast?", Lin Donghai's face changed slightly.

"Yes, after all, I'm a student of the Faculty of Letters, and I still have to go to class. Lu Ming said.

"That's ......"

Lin Donghai nodded lightly and said, "Xiaoyan, then you go and prepare your luggage, and go to Shaoming Mansion with Lu Ming early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. Lin Xiaoyan said happily.

"After you go to Shaoming Mansion, you will have to take care of each other, but there is a sentence that uncle has to say ahead, if you dare to live up to her, don't blame your uncle for canceling your marriage contract," Lin Donghai said solemnly.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take care of her. Lu Ming said sincerely.

Tonight, Lu Ming stayed in the Lin Mansion and talked with Lin Xiaoyan about many things, after all, it had been a long time since they had been reunited, so there were a lot of topics tonight.

Suddenly, Lu Ming's official seal sounded, and a Hongyan biography was released, which turned out to be a message from Tao Governor's Mansion.

In the biography, Tao Zhifu also learned about the affairs of Jingzhou City, and accused Lu Ming of not refusing the Wendou Conference of the Changguo people, which not only made the Changguo people more unscrupulous, but also made the readers of Liang Guo cold.

Now on the literary list, many readers are accusing Lu Ming, which has greatly affected his literary name.

But Lu Ming had other thoughts, he didn't care about these things, he was more concerned about the situation of the Wendou Conference.

Lu Ming entered the Jingzhou Literary List, and the Changguo people announced their results on it, the first astronomical fighting conference, thirty Liang Guo scholars went to the literary fight, and none of them won.

Ten of them were slightly injured, fifteen were seriously injured, and five were wounded and almost lost their lives.

Wendou is different from Wenbi, Wenbi is the exchange of poetry and songs, and Wendou is the exchange of cultivation, or talent impact, or poetry into soldiers, or spirit sword killing, extremely dangerous.

In order to avoid accidents as much as possible, the Wendou Conference is usually held in the Academy of Literature, and with the help of the power of the temple, part of the strength of the scholars is suppressed, and this kind of emergency is avoided as much as possible.

At the same time, Liu Yufeng of Changguo even made a lot of nonsense, claiming that under Hanlin, no one in Liang was his opponent, and strongly demanded to fight with Lu Mingwen.

But Lu Ming had already rejected the challenge, so this not only made the Changguo people do whatever they wanted, but also made the Liang Guoshu extremely embarrassed.

In just one day, readers from various states posted accusations against Lu Ming, and then some officials spread false rumors, over-amplifying his mistakes and turning the accusations into insults.

"Liang Guoren has too much self-esteem. ”

Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, very helpless, "Although a scholar has his own arrogance, excessive pride is not arrogance, but blindness and ignorance. ”

Suddenly, Lu Ming's official seal rang again, and he received a Hongyan biography from Yang Xiuyuan: "Do you have other intentions in refusing the challenge of the Changguo people?"

Lu Ming suddenly laughed, and said with some self-deprecation: "Sure enough, it's still a university scholar who understands me." ”

Lin Xiaoyan said on the side: "Lu Ming, why were you suddenly insulted by so many people, as if you had made a big mistake?

Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "The people of Changguo invited me to Wendou, but I refused, so the officials of the court took the opportunity to attack my literary name. ”

"Then why did you refuse? Aren't you a scholar? Where is the arrogance of a scholar? Where is the pride of a scholar? Aren't you really cowardly?", Lin Xiaoyan asked.

"Why do you even think so?", Lu Ming showed a "wronged" expression.

"Am I wrong? Otherwise, how could so many people scold you?", Lin Xiaoyan had an accusatory expression, very serious.

"You don't want me to fight with them, do you?" Lu Ming asked.

"Otherwise, you are the head of the Liang Kingdom, and now that the scholars of the Liang Kingdom have been humiliated, how can you ignore them?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll be hurt?"

"You are the one who has killed demons with the scholars of Zhenzhou University, if you can't even deal with them, then you will really be in vain!"

"This ......"

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and was speechless. (To be continued.) )
