The pavilion, by also.

Those who become by the scenery are also, or by the water, or by the flowers, and the system is also casual.

Liuguang Water Pavilion is the place where the old lady of the Lu family meets guests on weekdays, located in the Lufu Guanchi Garden, and there is a rugged Liuguang Pond water flowing in the Guanchi Garden next to the Water Pavilion, so it is named.

The water pavilion is built near the pool, facing the water on three sides, you can just see the beautiful scenery of the Liuguang Pool, the small building is blue bricks and green tiles, the roof is the top of the mountain retreat, the four feet are cocked, there is quite a bit of the ancient book atmosphere of the small garden building of Suzhou Mansion.

Lu Jing had also visited many gardens in his previous life, and in the past three months, he had always come here every ten years to greet the old lady and the eldest lady.

But when he saw the beautiful scenery in the streamer water pavilion again, he still felt the extravagance of the Lu Mansion.

The Lu Mansion, where Baiyu is a horse for Tang Jin, relies on the yin and Meng of his ancestors, even in this ten miles of Changning Street, it is also a first-class luxury.

Lu Jing walked into the main hall of the Water Pavilion, but found that although he had come an hour late according to the old lady's instructions, there were still two or three children of the Lu family of his generation sitting in front of the sandalwood table in the hall, concentrating on reading.

The old lady of the Lu family is very strict in governing the family, but she loves to read people very much.

She always expects the Lu family to produce a champion, so whether the children of the Lu family like to read or not, come to greet the old lady, and always bring a classic.

- Except for Lu Jing.

It's not that Lu Jingqing is high.

It's just that Lu Jing knows deeply that because of his mother's drumming and complaining, the old lady of the Lu family doesn't say that he hates it, but he will never like him.

Even if he brought a hundred books, the old lady would only think that he was acting coyly, and he would have the impression of being opportunistic and good at drilling.

Rather than this, it is better to come lightly and leave a brisk.

And...... Reading and reading, you need to be quiet and steady, how can you concentrate on reading in such a noisy environment?

In the main hall of the Water Pavilion, there are two rows of tables on the left and right, and sitting in the front on the right is a young man with sideburns like a knife, eyebrows like ink paintings, a face like peach petals, and eyes like autumn waves.

This young man wears a high crown on his head, a silver belt on his forehead, and laughs like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a talent.

Lu Qiong, the eldest young master of the Lu family's mansion, is Lu Jing's half-brother.

Sitting at the front on the left is a young man with cold eyebrows and a tall body.

This young man is the eldest young master of the second mansion of the Lu family, and he is also Lu Feng, who had asked Lu Jing for Qingyue before.

The Lu family has not been completely separated, but the old lady has already divided the two governments a long time ago.

The lord of the mansion is also the patriarch surnamed Lu, and Lu Shenyuan, who has inherited the title, is Lu Jing's biological father, Lu Shenyuan has two sons and two daughters, Lu Qiong is the second, and Lu Jing is the third.

And the lord of the second mansion is named Lu Chongshan, with many heirs, and the eldest young master is Lu Feng.

The lord of the second mansion is obsessed with the Buddha, eats fasting and worships the Buddha all day long, and the large and small affairs of the second mansion are also taken care of by Mrs. Zhu of the second mansion.

At this time, in the main hall of the Water Pavilion, in addition to Lu Qiong and Lu Feng, there was also Lu Jing's cousin Lu Yi, who was also Lu Feng's own sister.

Lu Yi was whispering to a stranger next to him.

This stranger was a young girl, dressed in red, covered with a light veil, and her face could not be seen clearly, but Lu Jing could see that she was looking at her curiously.

Lu Jing glanced at the girl.

"Could it be that this is Nanhe Yu?" Lu Jing speculated in his heart.

Immediately, I remembered the faint mention of the previous mallow words, plus the strangers here, only this girl, and she became more and more convinced of her guess.

Sitting at the top of the pavilion is naturally the old lady of the Lu family, Mrs. Junning.

Accompanying and whispering to Mrs. Ning was Lu Qiong's biological mother and Lu Jing's mother, and it was also Mrs. Zhong, the actual caretaker of the Lu family's mansion after Lu Shenyuan was demoted.

Lu Jing had just walked into the main hall, and the old lady was still closing his eyes and recuperating.

Mrs. Zhong's gaze had already fallen on Lu Jing.

Lu Qiong, who originally shook her head and glanced at the old lady and Mrs. Zhong from time to time, saw Lu Jing coming, and immediately put down the classics in her hand a little impatiently.

He said to Lu Jing: "Why is Brother Jing so unpunctual? Come to say hello to the old lady and her mother, but you want to ask them to wait for you? ”

When Lu Feng on the side heard this, he also turned his head and looked at the landing scene.

Lu Jing walked to the center of the main hall and bowed slowly: "Lu Jing greets grandma, and greets mother." ”

Although Mrs. Zhong is not Lu Jing's mother, in the family law, Mrs. Zhong, the mother-in-law, is closer than the biological mother of the concubine, and she must not be neglected, and she must be called her mother on weekdays.

After bowing to the two elders at the top, Lu Jing stood up again and saluted the two brothers, Lu Qiong and Lu Feng.

Lu Feng waved his hand and continued to look down at the book.

Lu Qiong's eyes were a little more interested, and he stroked his palm and said, "Brother Jing, you are bold, and you won't ask for guilt first if you are late......"

"Qiong'er, I asked Lu Jingchi to come a few moments later." The old lady still didn't open her eyes, but Mrs. Zhong said softly: "In the past few days, I heard that Lu Jing has been studying weekdays, so I thought about asking him to come later and test his knowledge. ”

When Lu Qiong heard this, his head immediately shrank, lowered his head and pretended to read, lest such a thing as "school examination" fall on his head.

Lu Jing's long hair fell, and his eyes did not change in the slightest.

He stood in the center of the main hall, and all eyes were on him.

Including the girl in red with a light veil.

The girl in red's eyes were shining, and she said in her heart: "This Lu Jing is calm, and besides, the impression he gave me today is much calmer than when I was studying yesterday......"

The girl sitting in the main hall of the water pavilion in front of him was not the Nan Heyu that Lu Jing had speculated.

It was the girl Sheng Zi who talked to Lu Yi yesterday.

Not only Sheng Zi thought so, Mrs. Zhong also felt that after a few days, Lu Jing's bearing suddenly changed from a cowering boy to a young man.

At this moment, Lu Jing was standing in the center of the main hall, his body was impartial, and his arms were naturally falling, and even when Mrs. Zhong's gaze swept over, Lu Jing did not dodge, but greeted him very naturally.

It's like a ...... A diligent and conscientious reader is not contaminated by external objects.

"It's amazing." Mrs. Zhong was surprised in her heart, but her face was silent.

Lu Jing didn't know that the proposition of [diligence and hard work] was not only for visualization and learning.

Because of this personality, his bearing, and even others' perceptions and impressions of him, have changed very slightly because of this.

"You have been studying hard for a long time, and you must have a good understanding of Confucian classics, I want to take the exam for you today, Lu Jing, what do you think?"

Mrs. Zhong spoke softly, and the tassel dress swayed slightly because of the wind in the hall, and her demeanor was quite noble.

"The young lady of the Nanguo Mansion came in person, probably to take a look at me, to see his person, and to taste his character...... It's like buying a horse, with a horse's legs and a horse's temperament, and the eldest lady who wants to come to this mansion is still hesitant to 'marry' me? ”

When Lu Jing thought of this, there was a wave of anger in his heart for no reason.

In the world, family affairs have always been the words of the matchmaker of parents.

But when it came to Lu Jing, the Duke of Nanguo Mansion nodded and proposed, and the old lady of the Lu family and Mrs. Zhong had already agreed.

The marriage certificate was sent twice, and even Lu Jing's life deed was handed over to the Household Registration Department as early as half a year ago and recorded in the outer register of Nanfu.

By now, they should have been married.

But now, Nanfu not only postponed the marriage contract three times and twice, but Nan Heyu even had to come to see him in person before he could make a decision...... It's too ironic.

It's not that Lu Jing wants to go to Nanfu to eat soft rice, but the attitude of Nanfu ......

It can't help but make the current Lu Jing a little angry.

"The Nanguo Mansion is in front of the marriage, but this Nan Heyu has broken the contract five times, and he is not an honest person, Qingyue has always hoped that I can enter the Nanfu Mansion and become a rich man for a lifetime......

But how can this rich man be so easy to be? ”

These few things made Lu Jing have no good impression of Nan Heyu at all.

"Now I have the idea of King Daming, and it is not my only way out, since Nan Heyu dislikes me several times and is unwilling to fulfill the contract, then I will fulfill her wish."

Lu Jing was full of thoughts, and he didn't look at the girl in red next to him, but he was always silent, as if he was afraid of being examined.

Seeing Lu Jing's reaction, Mrs. Zhong frowned, and sighed secretly: "The son of the boatgirl, he still can't be on the stage." ”

She coughed lightly: "Lu Jing, I have read Zhongzheng, and I feel that Zhongzheng is the way to live in the world, and I also know that impartiality is called Zhongzheng, I am a woman and Taoist, and I don't know much about Confucian classics, do you have a deeper understanding?" ”

Mrs. Zhong has hated Lu Jing very much since the old incident eight years ago, but she doesn't want to shed the reputation of "jealous woman" and "intolerable concubine", and she has indeed not beaten and abused Lu Jing.

But among the big clans, just treating them differently can wear out the hearts of young people.

In the past eight years, Mrs. Zhong has made Lu Jing's mother and son miserable with the means of the emperor.

But at this juncture, Mrs. Zhong really didn't give Lu Jing any problems, but asked such a subjective question with a very low threshold, inclusiveness but strong strength.

"I probably hope that I can answer better and behave better in front of Nan Heyu, so that I can also leave the Lu family faster and not hinder the eyes of everyone in the Lu family."

Lu Jing chuckled in his heart.

He was about to pretend that he didn't learn and didn't know how to speak, so he fulfilled Nan Heyu's wish and strengthened her determination to repent of her marriage.

Suddenly, another piece of information exploded in my mind!

[The gentleman is the instrument, and its edge is sharp. 】

[Mrs. Zhong is admitted to you, you have the following options:]

[Fierce: Ai Ai, stumbling, studying hard for eight or nine years, but it's just a joke.

Pro: Get the "Tibetan clumsy (red)" life palace and get a red opportunity.

Disadvantages: Disgusted by several people, he will be punished by Mrs. Ning's family law. 】

[Ji: Express your heart's thoughts, and strive to be perfect within your ability, so that everyone will be dumbfounded by your performance.

Li: Won the favor of several people, and got "to participate in the research (red) life palace, and get a white opportunity."

Disadvantages: Disgusted by Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Ning. 】

[The big murderer: refused to answer, Mrs. Zhong asked, and angrily reprimanded her for her usual viciousness.

Pro: "No father and no mother (yellow) life palace, get a yellow chance."

Disadvantages: The culprit is very likely to die because of it. 】

In just an instant, the image of good luck and evil was already clearly imprinted in Lu Jing's mind.

Lu Jing was stunned, and began to quickly speculate about his future choice.
