Chapter Ninety-Nine: Door-to-door
"Sister, how long do you have to practice?"
Lu Weimang went home, changed out of his official robe, wore a pink and white dress that he often wore at home, and took his two younger brothers on a whim to line up in front of a white wall in the courtyard, learning from the ancients to practice calligraphy.
Changfeng is the most impatient, and at this time he has begun to complain, and he can't hold on anymore.
Lu Weimang's wrist was sore, and her wrist strength was not good, but she had enough stamina, not only gritted her teeth and persevered, but also asked Changfeng to hold on, "After writing this "Persuasion", you can stop." ”
When Changfeng heard Sister A's words, his face was bitter, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on writing with shaking hands.
"Changfeng, write well, look at your second brother, you can't see it on weekdays, but now you are showing your kung fu." Lu Qingshan was in the pavilion behind his three children, drinking tea and encouraging a few words.
"Daddy will say cool words, and the second brother will write an article every day, with a few hundred words at least and a few thousand words at most, and if he writes more, he will naturally practice his pen power."
Changfeng gritted his teeth and shook his hands to write, and refused to admit it in his mouth, but he felt that his father didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, "Daddy, don't be idle, there are still some positions next to your son, you come and write a few words to practice, so that you don't have to be ridiculed in the ministry for being soft and lying on your stomach, like a caterpillar, which does not match your majestic image." ”
Lu Qingshan was exposed by his son, and his face immediately darkened, "I still laughed at Daddy, how old is your father and me, how old are you?" Besides, Daddy has to be busy with serious things every day, and the quality of handwriting does not affect the errand. You are a student, practicing calligraphy is the content of your coursework, and if you can't write well, you are really not doing your job. Isn't it, girl? ”
Lu Qingshan turned his head to look at the girl who was writing on the side, asking for support.
"Butler, get a pen and ink for the master. Daddy, you hand caterpillar, you really need to practice more, don't ask how good you write, at least stand up with all the words written, right? ”
"Okay young lady, the old slave will personally go and get pen and ink and give it to the master."
Steward Lu agreed with a smile and went to Lu Qingshan's study on the side, where there was ready-made pen and ink.
Lu Qingshan didn't expect to pull himself into the water, and everyone in the Lu family was taken by Lu Weimang's authority, and they generally wouldn't resist. Even if he resisted, Lu Weimang said, "Huh? With one look, the three men of the Lu family were obedient, so Lu Qingshan had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and prepare to practice calligraphy obediently for a while.
Changfeng's conspiracy succeeded, and secretly showed a smug look to his father, Lu Qingshan clenched his fists, glared, and silently gestured with his mouth, "You kid wait for me." ”
Cheng Yang didn't seem to know anything about the farce behind him, only concentrating on writing, a "Persuasion" was written like a cloud, handsome put away the pen, while observing his own words, while talking to Sister A beside him, "Sister, this method of practicing words with a hanging wrist is quite effective, in the past, I felt that my words have been a small success, but I didn't expect to write on this wall, but it shows my shortcomings, it seems that we will practice more like this in the future." ”
Lu Weimang finished the last few words, looked at the words that formed a tragic contrast between himself and Cheng Yang, and couldn't help nodding, "Sure enough, where the hard work is, the results will end." Cheng Yang is right, you have to practice more in the future, Changfeng, Daddy, do you hear that? But it's too much, and you don't have to practice words with such a great intensity every day, and then use this wall, after it's full, let the next person paint it, and then practice it after it's dry, if it doesn't rain for almost three days, Chengyang, how? ”
Cheng Yang nodded, he knew that Sister Ah was afraid that she would hurt her wrist if she practiced too much, "Just listen to Sister A." ”
Changfeng over there was listless, and he only felt that he had suffered an unwarranted disaster, "Sister, I know." ”
"Girl, Daddy is busy with official business every day, and he may not have time, so I don't need it, right?" Lu Qingshan tried to struggle.
"Daddy, you forgot, I also have official business." Lu Weimang's eyes looked at Lu Qingshan, and the indisputable insistence in his eyes made Lu Qingshan admit defeat, "Okay, Daddy listens to you." ”
After speaking, he muttered a little unwillingly, "I don't know if I dare to talk to Huo Hou like this." ”
Lu Weimang listened to his father's muttering and turned a deaf ear, isn't this nonsense? is more serious than rules, only Huo Jing crushes Lu Weimang, but it is not her turn to crush people.
"Miss, go and take a look!"
At this time, the butler hurried in and said nervously.
"What's wrong?"
The housekeeper is smiling steadily on weekdays, and it is rare to see him so flustered, and everyone in the Lu family looked over.
"That Cheng Mo and his sister came to visit you and the master, as well as the two young masters."
As soon as the housekeeper said this, everyone in the Lu family had different expressions, Changfeng was the most excited, Cheng Yang's eyes showed hesitation, looking at Sister A beside him, Lu Weimang noticed Cheng Yang's gaze and smiled at him comfortingly.
Lu Qingshan's face was uncertain, "Why did you come at this time?" ”
"Daddy, we were all young! At this time, Brother Cheng and Xiao Jin are old and can go out, so they come to see us. ”
Changfeng looked excited, and pulled Lu Weimang's arm, "Sister, go quickly, don't let Brother Cheng and Xiaojin wait in a hurry." ”
looked at the second brother on the side again, "Second brother, let's go." ”
The family went to the hospitality hall of the Lu family with different expressions, and Changfeng took the lead, "Brother Cheng, Xiaojin, you are here!" It's nice that everyone doesn't seem to have changed much. ”
"Changfeng is still the same as before, simple and cheerful."
"Brother Changfeng, do you remember me? I'm Kim. ”
Changfeng was timid about his hometown, and he completely lost the excitement when he was with his family in the backyard just now, and scratched his head a little stiffly when he saw the real person.
At this time, Lu Weimang entered the lobby with Cheng Yang and nodded to Cheng Mo, "You are here." ”
Cheng Mo stared at Lu Weimang, and nodded, "Well, a few days ago, I wanted to come to the house to meet you, and today I finally have a chance." ”
Xiao Jin didn't face Changfeng's restraint, and stepped forward and ran in front of Lu Weimang, "Sister Weimang, last time I said goodbye, I kept clamoring for Brother Ah to bring me to see you, and today I finally have the opportunity to come over." ”
Lu Weimang pulled Xiao Jin with a smile on his face.
"Brother Cheng, Xiao Jin."
Cheng Yang greeted the two, and the three of them restrained themselves and nodded.
Lu Qingshan didn't have the complicated expression in the backyard at this time, he smiled directly, stepped forward and patted Cheng Mo's shoulder, "This is Cheng Mo who helped a few children of our Lu family back then, right?" I wanted to thank you for a long time, but by mistake, you diverged from Steward Lu, and I didn't see it, so we didn't want to rush to the door. Now that I finally see it, it's good, I'll eat at the house today, let's have a few drinks together, and I have to thank you for taking care of Weimang. ”
Lu Qingshan was burly and had a tall voice, and his hearty voice echoed in the empty hall, making Xiao Jin approach Lu Weimang's side with a trace of fear, Lu Weimang patted Xiao Jin's shoulder comfortingly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Uncle, don't say that, although I was a few years older, my backbone was still faint, and it was she who led us to find life in that troubled world."
At the dinner table, Father Lu frequently raised his glass and drank with Cheng Mo, with an emotional expression, "When I think of you guys, I feel sad." The world is so chaotic, but fortunately, you can support each other to get through the difficulties safely. Here, have another drink. On weekdays, Chengyang doesn't drink, Changfeng can't drink, and today Cheng Mo is here, I treat you as my own nephew, you're welcome, take Lufu as your own home, drink too much for a while, I asked people to go to Chengfu and say, I will rest in our Lu family today, ah? ”
"Uncle is gracious, he shouldn't have shirked, but the amount of alcohol is average, and he really can't drink it."
Cheng Mo's face was flushed, and he seemed to be overwhelmed.
Cheng Yang was still as silent as ever, only Changfeng was a little dissatisfied, "Daddy, the first time Brother Cheng came to our house, you just poured people like this." Sister, tell me Daddy, let him stop Dou Cheng. ”
Xiao Jin also showed concern on his face, and Lu Weimang sighed helplessly, "Daddy, no matter how happy you are, you can't be so irritated, Brother Cheng will be uncomfortable for a while, aren't you kind enough to do bad things?" ”
Lu Qingshan looked indifferent, and waved his hand, "You are a girl, you don't understand, men walk the world, and they can't drink." The happier you are, the more you want to drink. Come, nephew of the Cheng family, drink! ”
It was only half an hour after the meal was opened, and I didn't eat much food, but I drank a jar of wine.
After settling down the drunken Cheng Mo, as well as Xiao Jin, the drunken Lu Qingshan was sober again, only his face was a little red, but there was no trace of drunkenness.
"Daddy, what are you doing, Brother Cheng was in trouble with us at the beginning, why did you do this?"
Changfeng finally saw that Daddy was borrowing wine to play just now, and at this time he was dissatisfied and questioned Daddy.
Lu Qingshan was not annoyed when he heard this, he only smiled, "Son, don't you know how much your father drinks?" Daddy thought you were cooperating with Daddy just now, but it turned out that you were really stupid and didn't see it. ”
Changfeng was depressed, went to see the second brother and the elder sister, saw that the two of them were silent, knowing that the two of them knew it, and suddenly said puzzledly, "Sister, second brother, isn't it a good thing that Brother Cheng brought Xiaojin to the door?" Why do you have such expressions? Anyway, we also shared hardships at the beginning, but now that we are the children of the eunuchs, we can't look down on our old friends? ”
Cheng Yang's face was not good-looking when he heard this, but Lu Weimang didn't care, "Changfeng, it's a year old, don't open your mouth to say something." When did the people in our house ever put an official eunuch on the shelf of others? ”
Changfeng scratched his head a little wryly, "Sister, second brother, and father, I'm sorry." I've read a lot of books, and I've substituted it. ”
Lu Qingshan had a black face, "It's not good to go to school, whoever asked you to read the book, go back to the room and clean it up for me in a while, the Guozijian will not finish, and you are not allowed to read it in the future!" ”
"Sister, what are you going to do?"
Cheng Yang asked suddenly.
Everyone in the Lu family looked at Lu Weimang.
Lu Weimang was silent, and then sighed, "After all, he saved us at the beginning, and the love is still there." ”
"Hmm." Cheng Yang nodded, and Changfeng was also thoughtful. Lu Qingshan looked at the three sisters and brothers, his face satisfied.
This time it was really on the shelves.
