"As soon as Brother Qi goes, this county is really like an empty corner!"

Lu Qi put down his rice bowl and sighed softly.

A month had passed since that naval battle, the weather had warmed up, and Yujiang was gradually resuming the busy scene of salt boats coming and going.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the season was approaching the Qingming Festival, and the yamen was a little free these days.

Originally, Lu Qi had the dual duties of chief bookkeeper and post officer, and it was difficult to sort out the work.

But fortunately, Cui Tongzhi saw that there was a shortage of people in the Yamen of Yu County, so he sent one of his staff members to make a history, and Wang Changyun selected a decent person from the Wang family to assist, and Wu Zhixian's injury gradually improved, so that daily affairs could be carried out safely.

In this way, after a month of running-in, Lu Qi actually arranged the work on both sides properly, and even squeezed out time to look elsewhere.

For example, yesterday, someone from Lujia Village sent a letter, saying that the auspicious day was approaching, and asked Lu Qi to return to the village to participate in the grave relocation ceremony.

"Qi'er has been going out early and returning late every day this month, which is really hard." Chen Yin'er put a piece of meat into Lu Qi's bowl and put down the chopsticks with gentle eyes.

Lu Qi rubbed his stomach: "Sister-in-law, I really can't eat it." ”

Chen Yin'er frowned: "It's the time to grow up, and I have to be busy with so many official duties every day, how can I not eat more?" ”

Lu Qi had no choice but to pull the meat chop into his mouth and muttered: "My sister-in-law is one year younger than me, and it's time to grow her body......"

"Huh?"

Lu Qi hurriedly shut up.

Pushing open the door, the humid air in the early morning drifted to Lu Qi's face with misty rain, took a deep breath, and felt relaxed: "What a wet apricot blossom rain!" The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is different from time to time, which is wonderful. ”

Chen Yin'er was coming out with an umbrella: "What's wonderful?" Back to Nantian everywhere condensation, wipe can not wipe can not be wiped can't be wiped can't be wiped out, it is easy to slip if you don't wipe it, and your clothes can't be dried, and the corners of the wall will be moldy in the past two days! ”

While complaining, the two of them walked out quickly, it was still early at this time, but they had to hurry out of the city and return to the village, otherwise if they were blocked, they were afraid that it would be difficult to get out.

Fortunately, it was raining today, and those people got up late, so Lu Qi and the others rushed to the embankment safe and sound and boarded a canopy boat.

The hull of the ship swayed slightly with the water waves, looking at both sides of the Yujiang River through the light rain curtain, the willows were like smoke, the grass was like fog, and the water and sky were soaked in the sound of rain.

"The guest officer went to Lujia Village, but returned to his hometown?" The captain shook the oar and smiled.

Lu Qi nodded: "Yes, I haven't been back for a while." ”

"Hey!" The captain became interested: "Your Lujia Village recently has a talent named Lu Yun, do you recognize it?" ”

Chen Yin'er suddenly looked back at Lu Qi.

Seeing that Lu Qi didn't answer, the captain continued to say to himself: "Ah, my old man has heard people talk about it, why are you so ill-informed about your little offspring?"

He's such a hero! Do you remember those robbers who came a while ago? They all let him run away, and now he has been recruited into the yamen to be the master! ”

"That's right." Lu Qi agreed, and Chen Yin'er covered her mouth and snickered.

The excitement of the father-in-law's chat, even the hand of the swaying oar was faster: "You must have just returned to the county, right?" When I went back to the small teahouse to listen to the book, this story was even heard by people from the north!

Ay? I remember that Master Lu Yun and Lu are also from Lujia Village, and you are the same townsman as him? ”

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Great! The old man is also touched by Master Lu's talent today! The captain was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth:

"Guest officer, do you know what Master Lu looks like? I only heard that he looks like Mei Zhoulang, if only he could see it with his own eyes. ”

"Uh......" Lu Qi unfolded the fan awkwardly and covered his face slightly: "It's an exaggeration if there are too many people to speak, I don't think it's so good-looking......"

Chen Yin'er couldn't hold back her laughter, and her pretty face was flushed.

When I arrived at Lujia Village, I saw two columns of villagers wearing hats standing on the embankment, and in front of the queue sat the trembling Lu Taigong, looking forward to the river.

"Huh? Who are they waiting for? The captain leaned over the boat.

saw Lu Qi holding an umbrella and getting out of the canopy with Chen Yin'er: "They are waiting for me." ”

At this time, the Lu clan people on the shore also found Lu Qi, and shouted happily, "Come back, come back", Lu Taigong walked two steps to the river embankment, and two young men jumped into the water to help lead the boat.

"Master Lu is back! There is also a silver girl, come and come, drink tea and rest first. Mrs. Lu couldn't help nodding and laughing.

Lu Qi stood at the bow of the boat and saluted: "How is Taigong lately?" ”

"Good, good! All the best! ”

The captain was surprised: "Master Lu? I can't imagine that you are so young, and you are a master...... Huh? I don't know the name of the guest officer? ”

"He, that's the Mei Zhoulang you just said!" Chen Yin'er finally couldn't help laughing, and held Lu Qi's shoulder until tears came out of her laughter.

"Huh? Oops! ”

The ship docked, but the captain refused to charge the fare.

"Master Lu saved our Yu County, it's the old man's luck to support the boat for you, next time someone else takes my boat, I will tell them your story."

Lu Qi saw that he couldn't resist him, so he asked Lu Taigong for pen and ink, and wrote the words "Smoke and Rain Sailing" in his canopy:

"Let's just say that I started it, and the next time a scholar sits on your boat, ask him to write a poem on the title of these four words, and engrave it on the canopy of your boat. In this way, there will be no shortage of guests on your ship in the future. ”

The captain thanked him and left.

Drink hot tea, and the auspicious time is approaching.

As soon as the invited Feng Shui master gave the order, the clansmen carried pickaxes, shovels and other items dressed in plain silk to their shoulders and set out on the road to the mass grave.

……

When the grave is moved and it is already afternoon, a table of cakes and vegetarian food is put on the table, and the people present hold incense sticks and take turns to worship in front of the new tombstone.

"Qi'er, you have a spirit in the sky, and you want to bless your brother with prosperous official fortune and great wealth in the future." A clansman muttered at the tomb.

"Sister Qi'er, bless our Lu clan Ding Prosperous, bless us with good health, and say more good things to us at the Bodhisattva......"

"Ki'er, ......"

When it was Lu Qi's turn to worship, she said lightly in her heart: "Lu Yun, today I finally reunited you with your parents and family, may you have a soul in heaven to rest in peace." ”

A gentle breeze blew in the mountains, the wet bamboo leaves rustled softly, and the continuous rain seemed to stop for a moment, as if there was none.

It's just that Lu Qi put down a worry in his heart.

Licheng, Lu Qi refused Mrs. Lu's stay, and while the sky was still bright, he hurriedly took a boat back to the county seat.

As soon as he landed on the stone embankment in Yuxian County, Lu Qi saw a few oil-paper umbrellas rushing here, and his face couldn't help but change, and he pulled Chen Yin'er and ran to the city gate: "Run!" ”

"That's Lu Yun? Lu Lang is gone! ”

The man holding the umbrella caught up and shouted as he ran: "Our Linchaolou Qinyun girl is invited!" ”

The people behind him did not fall behind at all, and also chased after him: "What is Linchao Tower?" Our Moon Girl in Fucui Pavilion is called a beautiful fairy! Lu Lang, come with me! ”

"As long as Lu Lang is willing to come, all the expenses tonight will be paid by Miss Qinyun!"

"You...... Lu Lang! We are willing to take two more girls and serve them together! ”

These people chased and chased each other and scuffled together, taking this opportunity, Lu Qi pulled Chen Yin'er and ran into the city.

"Huh, huh, fortunately, there are street guards in the city, and these people don't dare to chase in." Chen Yin'er was a little relieved.

When I walked to the mouth of the alley, I saw a carriage parked there from a distance, and a girl wearing a hat was standing next to the car.

The curtain on the car suddenly moved, and Lu Qi looked at it, and met a pair of black eyes in the curtain.

Suddenly, Lu Qi heard a suppressed sigh of surprise from inside the car, sounding like a young girl, the curtain began to shake violently, and she whispered something to the hooded girl outside.

The girl wearing the hat listened, took two steps forward, and saluted Lu Qi and the others: "Dare to ask the honorable driver, but Lu Yun and Lu Lang are in person?" ”

Lu Qi returned the salute: "...... Precisely. ”

"Great, the slave and the young lady have been waiting for a long time!" The girl said happily: "Please come in and talk to each other!" ”

Lu Qi was vigilant: "But I didn't ask for advice, where is Miss Zun from, what family?" ”

The girl paused, looked back at the carriage, covered her mouth with her hand and replied softly, "My young lady's surname is Wang." ”

"Xiao Sheng doesn't remember what he has to do with Miss Wang, but why is he here?"

Seeing that Lu Qi had no intention of inviting them in, the girl couldn't help but stomp her feet in a hurry: "You Langjun!" There is a great good thing in front of you, and you are still asking questions! ”

Seeing this situation, Chen Yin'er had already guessed seven points in her heart, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be bad if your young lady entered the door of the living?" Come, what's the matter, just tell me. ”
