Chapter 017: Where did Feng Juan go?
Lu Qi stopped at the corner and opened the paper ball.
Feng Juan's handwriting is delicate and timeless, worthy of the hand of the bookstore owner's daughter.
Things in the world are so strange. But where it is beautiful and true, most of it is kind.
Feng Juan told Lu Qi that her father forced her to marry Gu Zicheng, the grandson of Mr. Gu of Baiyu Academy, but she was unwilling.
Her father locked her in the boudoir and didn't let her go out, and she hoped that Lu Qi would help her out.
Lu Qi held the note, his heart was hot, but Fang Cai was still depressed, and the cigarette disappeared in an instant.
Feng Juan has him in his heart, he is not mistaken, he will definitely save Feng Juan out, and without further ado.
Is there any way to save Fengjuan?
He wanted to ask the master to reason with Boss Lu, but after thinking about it, he couldn't.
The master will certainly not do this. How could an old Chinese medicine doctor be conservative and stubborn, how could he interfere with the lives of other people's parents for the sake of a young man's free marriage?
Or, go directly to Gu Zicheng? Come to think of it, it's even more impossible.
Gu Zicheng is one of the four King Kongs of Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall, he has good martial arts, and he is getting married, what are you going to say?
Lu Qi stood on the corner of the street, and he had no idea for a while.
At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage drove by. The curtain of the carriage was embroidered with the words "White Jade Academy".
Lu Qi immediately remembered Su Yu.
Su Gongzi can talk to him and is helpful, maybe he will have a way.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi hurriedly took his suitcase back to the Chinese Medicine Hall, and hurried to Baiyu Academy without saying hello to the master.
Seeing Su Yu, Lu Qi finished the situation and waited for Su Yu to help him get an idea.
Su Yu opened the folding fan and fanned it a few times.
"Your desire is to marry a wife and have children, but the person you like is going to marry someone else, which is a bit troublesome. The words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents are inviolable, which is a tradition for thousands of years. ”
When Lu Qi heard Su Yu say this, he might feel cold.
"I thought you were open-minded and dared to fight for freedom, but I didn't expect you to be so conservative." He was a little disappointed.
Su Yu saw Lu Qi's thoughts and smiled faintly.
"I always thought that the Chinese tradition was worth promoting, but there are also dross in the tradition, such as the institution of marriage. I advocate the freedom of marriage, and the young people themselves have the final say. ”
Hearing him say this, Lu Qi's face immediately showed a smile again: "Then you say, what will you do when this situation encounters you?" ”
"What else can I do? Heroes save beauty! Su Yu slapped his fan and said.
"What's the cure?"
Su Yu picked up the teacup and fan, and talked while gesturing on the table.
Lu Qi nodded again and again, and then asked, "Then what, then what to do?" ”
"As long as Miss Fengjuan can get out, you can take a boat overnight and go to the county seat. No, the county seat is too close, go to the provincial capital, or go to Anhui and Henan, you can do it. With your medical skills and her diligence, you can live a good life anywhere. ”
"But, but ......" Lu Qi was speechless.
"Don't worry, I'll prepare some coils for you. Let's do it tonight. Su Yu said.
Lu Qi excitedly grabbed Su Yu's shoulder and shook it: "Baiyu Academy is really Yishi, Bamboo Shadow Qingfeng Su Gongzi." Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”
Su Yu smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you light." Let's give Feng Juan a word first, and ask her to prepare too, let's act tonight.
Lu Qi trotted out of the White Jade Academy.
Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in the heart. Su Yu went to the South Courtyard with the joy of helping others, wanting to explore Mr. Gu's tone.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Shi Dazhu, the eldest apprentice of the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Pavilion, coming out of the west wing.
Su Yuyi arched his hand: "Brother Shi, what wind blew you here?" ”
Shi Dazhu clenched his fists.
"Young Master Su, I'm here to invite Mr. Gu. My master said that if a person who learns martial arts does not study, he is a useless person with strong limbs and a simple mind. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Gu to tell the disciples about the sages. ”
Su Yu said: "The Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall is unique, it's not simple. What do you think? Mr. Gu agreed? ”
Shi Dazhu shook his head.
The old gentleman excused himself. Let's let the master come and invite him personally. After saying that, he clenched his fists again and went out.
Su Yu looked at Shi Dazhu's back and muttered: "This year, there are so many new things. Mr. Gu is something that ordinary people can invite. ”
In the west wing, Gu Jin was holding a book behind his back and a book in the other, pacing, shaking his head and reciting the classics.
The old man is really calm, his grandson is going to get married, and he is still idle here to study.
Since the library was washed away by water, although it was repaired, for the sake of safety and convenience, Su Zixuan asked Old Man Du to live in the wing room, and there was no need to go to the library again.
Su Yushili: "Congratulations, sir, Brother Zicheng is getting married." You're about to hold your great-grandson. ”
Gu Jin put down the book and smiled calmly: "Everything depends on fate." ”
Gu Jin likes Su Yu very much. Not only because Su Yu is Su Zixuan's son, but more importantly, among many scholars, Su Yu has a deep love and belief in traditional culture, and he also has enough respect for his teacher.
The two talked, open-mindedly, and without restraint, which can be described as a year-old friend.
"Sir, aren't you going home to have a look?"
"Zicheng can do it himself, how can I use my old uselessness."
"Whose woman is Brother Zicheng marrying, it must have been carefully selected by you, right?"
"Whatever you choose, it's a matter of course. Boss Lu of Chang Gung Bookstore married his daughter, that is carefully selected. ”
Su Yu remembered that his mother had taken him to Chang Gung Bookstore and wanted to marry Feng Juan.
But Boss Lu didn't give face, and he didn't look down on Su Gongzi of the dignified Baiyu Academy, but he married his daughter to a martial arts practitioner.
"Are you saying that it was Boss Lu who first took a fancy to Brother Zicheng, so he had this family?"
"You can't say that." Gu Jin said, "Of course, let's find a matchmaker to propose marriage first, and then they agree." ”
"Boss Lu has vision, and Brother Zicheng is blessed."
"Hmph, Boss Lu, he doesn't just like my grandson, he takes a fancy to the three old houses on the street of our family."
Su Yu was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”
Gu Jin said: "Boss Lu has long wanted to open a branch for Chang Gung Bookstore, and he wants to sell everything that the people need.
Businessman, that's right. He married his daughter to Zicheng, and our three rooms were just right to open a branch.
In this way, there is a store in the south of the city, and he runs it himself. There is a shop in the north of the city, and my daughter takes care of it. Can the business of Evian Town run away? ”
Su Yu said: "What is Brother Zicheng's opinion? ”
"That kid in Zicheng knows how to dance with guns and sticks, and the things of men and women are confused.
Miss Fengjuan is good-looking, so he agreed, where does he know how to live.
I see, he will be the son-in-law of the Lu family in the future. ”
"So, you don't interfere yet?"
"Interfere with anything, everything is as it is. Behold their creation. ”
Others say that Mr. Gu is pedantic, but the old man is not confused. The book of the sages was not read in vain, he saw things accurately and far.
The old man defends the tradition, and he is happy to see the vigor of the young.
What he can tolerate is that young people make mistakes. What he can let go of is all the happiness and misfortune in the world.
Now, what Su Yu wants to see most is Gu Zicheng, and he wants to hear Gu Zicheng's true thoughts.
Once there is something to do in the heart, the spirit of the person will naturally be raised.
Su Yu walked out of the academy, went north along the street, and went to the old house of the Du family.
Although the old house is old, it is made of high-quality wood, and it can be seen that Du Xiucai's family background was not bad.
After cleaning, I put on bright red couplets, and I suddenly felt happy.
Su Yu didn't see Gu Zicheng, only saw a group of apprentices from the Zhenyuan Martial Arts Hall helping to clean the courtyard.
The flow of people came in and out, noisy and shouting.
Su Yu inquired about a principal, and the man said that Gu Zicheng went to the street to buy something.
Su Yu waited there for an hour, but he didn't see Gu Zicheng come back. He returned to the college.
……
At night, Su Yu changed into a short coat and came to an alley next to Chang Gung Bookstore as promised.
Lu Qi was already waiting there.
The two carried a bamboo ladder to Feng Juan's downstairs.
The lights in the room were on, and Lu Qi quietly leaned the ladder under the window and climbed up gently.
Su Yu stood below with his feet on the ladder, a pair of vigilant eyes looking around from time to time, although it was pitch black.
Lu Qi climbed up and knocked on the window a few times.
There was no one inside, so he gently opened the window and looked in, but there was no one.
He went up two more steps and jumped into the house.
It didn't take long for Lu Qi to climb out, get down the ladder and say, "Feng Juan is gone." ”
Su Yu was surprised: "What's the matter?" Didn't you make an appointment? ”
Lu Qi was also at a loss.
"Yes, I'll save her when I made an appointment."
"Will she go to her father's room?"
"Possibly. Then we'll wait. ”
At this time, Boss Lu's voice came from the upstairs room.
"Feng Juan, Feng Juan, open the door, Dad has something to tell you."
