Chapter Fifty-Seven: Seventy Years of Waiting for a Beautiful Woman

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the grass and trees are shaken and the dew is frost!

So when the autumn wind rose, when the calm voice of Lu Jing fell into Lu Jiang's ears, Lu Jiang's expression became more gloomy, just like the grass and trees that had fallen with white dew and frost, dark and difficult to see.

He was still sitting high on the precious black horse, which was worth a lot of money, and looked down at the landing scene.

Lu Jing was looking up at him, but there was no awe or fear in his eyes, just silence.

"So...... You won't reconcile with me? ”

After a long time, Lu Jiang suddenly laughed, but there was not much smile on his face.

He stared at Lu Jing, leaned down and said, "This Lu Mansion is huge, but it is also very small, you and I will see each other many times in the future, and today I will talk to you for the last time." ”

"Maybe in a few days, Nanfu will withdraw from the marriage, then Miss Nanfu Tianjiao will write you a letter of resignation, and you will know that ordinary scholars will not be able to turn over the cage of this clan!

At that time, Lu Jing, you will probably know that you shouldn't have said these things to me today, and you shouldn't have such ridiculous bones. ”

After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he straightened up and pulled the reins of the horse.

The long-maned black horse's hooves were raised high, and the black horse was extremely close to Lu Jing, and a strong wind whistled past Lu Jing.

But Lu Jing never dodged, as if he didn't see the black horse oppressing, and there was not much fear on his face.

Eventually, the horse's hooves fell, but they stepped on the gray bricks of the ground.

"Click!"

Two gray bricks of extremely hard solidity shattered in response to the sound, and two hoof prints were stepped out.

Lu Jiang sneered and rode away.

Lu Jing still stood in place and said with a smile: "Cousin, I want to tell you today that there is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me. ”

"In your opinion, there is a very small gap between you and me, you are just a dead horse and a descendant, but if I am defeated by Zhang Yuan that day, I am afraid that I will be as you say, I should be dead and wasted, and the best result is to live a life on the bed.

Such a disagreement, cousin, you say that reconciliation is reconciliation? And how to reconcile? ”

Lu Jiang, who was riding a horse in front of him, stiffened his body, and even the hand holding the reins tightened, making the black horse's footsteps pause slightly.

But immediately after, Lu Jiang didn't look back, but his voice came from the horse: "I hope you won't regret your choice today." ”

Lu Jiang left.

Lu Jing also walked slowly on the boulevard.

"The villain has no knots, abandons the basics, thinks about it, thinks about it, and thinks about it."

He regarded reconciliation with me as a favor to me, but he did not want to think about the cause of the grudge between me and him.

And...... He reconciled with me today, but yesterday he was still working on the matter of that distinguished guest, which was nothing more than a change from suppression to some shady deeds, which is shameful. ”

Lu Jing saw through Lu Jiang's hidden thoughts at a glance.

Although Lu Jiang is the same as him, he is a concubine of the Lu Mansion, but his situation in the Lu Mansion is very different from Lu Jing.

His biological mother used to be favored, saved a lot of money, and curried favor with Lu Chongshan's wife, Mrs. Zhu.

Lu Jiang is naturally like a fish in water in the house, he is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and now he thinks that he has suffered a lot of grievances, how can he reconcile with Lu Jing so easily?

"It's hard for villains to be appeased, so that's fine."

Lu Jing's eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

He went all the way into the Lu Mansion and came to his small courtyard, only to find that there were two guests in the courtyard.

One is Lu Yi, this girl is wearing a pink gold thread gauze skirt, a jade brocade and satin cloak, and her body is adorned with cloud-footed pearl tendrils, red jade bead earrings, and a jade pendant around her waist.

At first glance, it is extremely favored by the second government.

It's just that today's Lu Yi is not as lively as usual, and there is still a lot of sorrow in his eyebrows and eyes, which makes Lu Jing a little surprised.

In the past, Lu Yi was the most carefree in this Lu Mansion, which can be described as worry-free, and he would rather be thoughtless.

He plays stubbornly in the Lu Mansion all day long, and occasionally goes out of the Lu Mansion, calling friends to do some poetry meetings and play some swordsmanship.

Today, it looks listless.

Lu Jing saw it in his eyes, but he wasn't ready to ask anything.

When Lu Yi arrived, the other guest was naturally Shengzi.

Sheng Zi actually wore some light makeup today, a little powder, about some jade peach blossom powder, and her lips were also bright red, which looked much more beautiful.

The vermilion powder is not deep and even, the idle flowers are faintly fragrant, and it is good to look at all places.

She was originally sitting at the stone table and talking to Lu Yi, but when she saw Lu Jing coming from a distance, she stood up.

Qing Yue in the distance still had some dirt on his face, about the soil in the pine garden just now.

She also saw Lu Jing coming, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Lu Jing."

Sheng Zi smiled and pointed back at the stone table.

On the stone table, there is a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Look carefully, this set of four treasures of the study is excellent, the pen is a thousand-year-old red mulberry pen of Hewu Road, the paper page looks very delicate, better than the river silk paper, but also a layer of light gold.

Lu Jing didn't know where this paper came from, he only knew that this kind of paper must be extremely valuable, even in this luxurious Lu Mansion, he had never seen such a grade of paper and pen.

As for the inkstone, it is made of white jade, carved with a white tiger with teeth and claws, which looks exquisite and extraordinary, and is very valuable.

Sheng Zi saw Lu Jing's gaze fall on the four treasures of the study on the stone table, and said with a smile: "The last time I came, I was supposed to tell you two things, but just because the elders of the Lu Mansion invited you, I could only put it on hold.

So I'm here again today, I hope you won't get bored. ”

Sheng Zi spoke with a good demeanor, rich and beautiful, coupled with the rare heroism in her bright tooth moth eyebrows, which was heartbreaking.

Especially the little cherry red in the center of her eyebrows, which adds a lot of girlish charm to her.

Lu Jing shook his head with a smile: "Qingyue told me about this matter, but it's just a piece of writing, so where is it worth bothering?" ”

As he spoke, Qingyue had already poured hot tea for him, took a lot of food from the canteen of the study building in his hand, and went straight to the side room to prepare.

She didn't say a word, but the tenderness and concern in her eyebrows and eyes were all seen by Sheng Zi.

Sheng Zi glanced at Qingyue's back curiously, and then turned to Lu Jing and said, "I came here today for a friend of mine, my friend has a noble status, but his tutor is also strict, and he can't leave the house easily." ”

"It's just that my friend also has a childhood sweetheart, and he is also his sweetheart, it just so happens that he has been preparing for a long time, to send a calligraphy and painting to his sweetheart, my friend's painting skills are acceptable, but this ink skill is not very deep, and I happened to read the few sentences of the article you sent me, and I wanted you to write a few words in his painting."

Sheng Zi said a few words, and he already made his intentions clear.

She acted generously and decisively, without the slightest delay.

Sheng Zi is one of Lu Jing's few friends in this world, but it is just a request of a few words, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

So he nodded and asked, "I don't know which words to write?" ”

Sheng Zi first pointed to the four treasures of the study on the stone table: "My friend is very attentive, the gold page of this chapter of Huai Academy is used for you to practice the pen, and I will also bring that painting today, and when you practice those words, you can put the pen on it." ”

Sheng Zi said this, and winked at Lu Jing again: "My friend has a good status, and he doesn't lack anything on weekdays, and naturally there is no reason to let you write plainly, so I also prepared a gift, and the four treasures of the study on this table are just rao's head." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and untied a sword from her waist.

"This is a gift from me and that friend, you are already a Confucian student when you enter the library, how can you not have a gentleman's sword on your waist?"

Lu Jing frowned, and he carefully looked at the sword in Sheng Zi's hand.

This sword is only about two feet, it seems to be a gentleman's sword used in accessories, the hilt looks crystal clear, it is made of white jade, it is engraved with white clouds and flowing water, and the scabbard is a kind of black sandalwood, and there is some fragrance.

"This gentleman's sword is extremely valuable at first glance, I only write a few words, how can I receive such a heavy gift?"

Lu Jing glanced at it a few times, then shook his head and said, "Sheng Zi, you and I are also familiar with each other, and you know that my character is useless, how can it be useless?" ”

Lu Jing is not pretentious, but the things of this world have more or less a price.

His handwriting is indeed good, but now that he has no merit or reputation, Lu Jing also knows that his handwriting is not worthy of such a gentleman's sword.

If you accept it rashly, you owe someone else's affection, and you are afraid that you will have to pay it back in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Jing refused so decisively.

"Just a few words, I will send you, and you will take it as a favor."

When he said this, he walked to the stone table, studied the ink and took the pen, and gently pushed the pile of gold pages aside, and said with a smile: "I don't need to practice a few words, where is that painting?" ”

Sheng Zi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out a painting from his long sleeves and spread it out carefully.

Lu Jing fell and saw an old wooden chair painted on the painting, and on the wooden chair was a girl with a cold expression and a little sick.

The girl's eyes were drooping, listless, and there was not even a hint of hope in her eyes.

In the distance, a round of sun shone down and fell on the girl, but it gave the girl more life.

Small bridges and flowing water, ancient trees and strange flowers...... Many images come to life in that painting.

It's clear that the person who made this picture was very careful.

Sheng Zi said on the side: "Then I mentioned 'If you don't come again, it will snow in Taixuanjing', these twelve or three words are enough." ”

Lu Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sheng Zi, who nodded.

That's when he put pen to paper.

——

The food in the courtyard today is not shabby.

The canteen in the study building is a bit famous, and both Sheng Zi and Lu Yi are very satisfied.

Even Qingyue ate a few extra pieces of mutton boiled in clear water.

Until the end, Sheng Zi persuaded hard, Lu Jing never accepted the gentleman's sword, and in the end, he could only leave the four treasures of the study.

It's just that in the end, Sheng Zi smiled frankly: "This sword was originally prepared for you, if you don't accept it today, I will keep it for you, and on the day you get married, you will have a sword on your waist, and I will give it to you at that time." ”

After she finished speaking, she left with Lu Yi.

Qingyue, who was standing beside Lu Jing, looked at Sheng Zi's departing back, and sighed a little: "Young master, Miss Sheng's friend is really infatuated. ”

"What?"

"I listened to Miss Sheng and Miss Lu Yi chatting, and she talked about the owner of the painting just now, and it is said that the noble man withdrew from the marriage that was very suitable for their clan, just to wait for the one in the painting to have some legs ...... Bad miss.

This is the seventh year. ”

When Lu Jing heard Qingyue's words, he couldn't help nodding: "In this way, that noble man is indeed a person who values love and righteousness." ”

Qingyue put her hands behind her back and smiled at Lu Jing.

She said in her heart: "It's only been seven years, I can wait for the young master ......."

"Seventy years."
