Chapter 256: Jinshan Temple Fair
The reason why Jinshan County is called Jinshan County is naturally because there is a real 'Jinshan' in the county town.
However, this gold mountain is not a gold mountain made of gold, but a hill that is no more than a hundred feet high, and the mountains are full of ginkgo trees.
It is said to be a hill, and this height is an ordinary low hill, but it is also the highest landscape in the entire county.
The ginkgo tree is tall and straight, the leaves are fan-shaped, the crown is shade-like, the leaf shape is quaint, the life span is long, the golden ginkgo tree on the gold mountain can not be seen at a glance, under the sunset, the whole gold mountain is worthy of the name of pure gold, this is the origin of the gold mountain.
Speaking of Jinshan, we naturally have to mention the Silver Lake, the waterways in Jinshan County are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and the largest confluence forms this Silver Lake.
It just so happens that this lake is adjacent to Jinshan, and the scenery is pleasant, so Jinshan and Yinhu are called together, and this place is also quite famous in Dongyue.
At this time, under the leadership of Lu Linglong, Lei Luo came to the Jinshan Silver Lake, looking at the poets who were boating on the lake, and the continuous flow of people who went to the Jinshan Mountain, and felt touched.
"I can't imagine that this gold mountain and silver lake is really beautiful and lives up to its reputation," Lei Luowen praised in a crepe manner.
In the past few days, he has read and broken texts, so that he has a trace of bookish breath all over his body, and people who don't know him will really think that he is a scholar when they see him at this time.
At this time, Lu Linglong was still holding a black umbrella, standing slimly beside Lei Luo.
This woman looked at the golden mountain and the silver lake, with ice muscles and jade bones, cold and beautiful, as if the beautiful scenery in front of her could not move her.
This woman is still in a white shirt with a blue corset, plus purple and red culottes, although her appearance remains the same, Lei Luo is used to the other party's cold but with a trace of noble and elegant atmosphere.
However, even if you are enjoying the scenery, there will be some people who spoil the mood, and at this time, there happened to be such a person appearing on Lei Luo's side.
"Hmph, it's just a mountain and a lake, what's there to see!" a vulgar voice sounded from behind Lei Luo.
You don't have to look back, just by listening to the sound you know who is coming.
"Young Master Lu, the word vulgar is used well, but if you can't see the beauty of this mountain and this lake, you are the real vulgar person!" Lei Luo still didn't look back, and replied directly with a smile.
It turned out that the person behind him was the young master of the Lu Mansion who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was also Lu Linglong's younger brother and the son of Lu Xian's second wife.
"Hmph, don't rely on my father to protect you, you can be presumptuous in front of me, I am the son of the governor of Wuzhou, and I will become an official in the court in the future, and I will be a feudal official, there is no benefit for you to offend me!" Young Master Lu directly moved out of his biggest reliance and threatened.
He is the gentleman in Lei Luo's eyes, if it weren't for the large number of people here, he would raise his hand to take the opponent's head with a sword.
"Hahaha, if the officials of the Dongyue Kingdom are all people like you who rely on your father's Meng Yin, and don't rely on real talent and real learning to gain fame, then the entire Dongyue Kingdom will be in a miasma," Lei Luo shook his head and criticized.
However, his face was sarcastic, and there was a hint of ridicule in it.
"Who said that my son can't get fame in the exam!" At this time, a sharp woman's voice suddenly spoke, with a hint of warm anger in her tone.
Then Lei Luo naturally saw the person, a middle-aged beauty in her thirties, but her skin was well maintained, graceful and luxurious, this person was Lu Xian's second wife, Lu Linglong's second mother, this Young Master Lu's biological mother, Qian's.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Qian, I don't know why I waited for a conversation, why did I make Mrs. Qian so angry, was it said that she was in her heart, or was Madame herself an irritable person?" Lei Luo said lightly.
"You, the kid surnamed Lei, dare to judge me like this, come here, clean him up for me!" Mrs. Qian couldn't stand this anger, and shouted directly to the guards beside her.
I saw that behind the Qian family, dozens of Lu Mansion guards rushed out with fierce faces, and surrounded Lei Luo in a few breaths, looking at their menacing appearance, maybe they would really use force later.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a gentle shadow flashed to Lei Luo's side, and the person who came looked at the guards around him with an indifferent face, and after the guards around saw that the figure that appeared was their eldest lady, they all showed respect, and the fierce aura on their bodies was instantly retracted, and they didn't dare to show anything.
"Erniang, my father told me before the trip, don't let Lei Gongzi have any mistakes, if you move Lei Gongzi and make my father angry," Lu Linglong said in a flat tone at this time, but this word was more like a threat.
Just kidding, if Lu Xian knew that his wife and son would dare to provoke the immortal master, he would not have to use family law.
"Hmph, if you are lucky, I have my husband to protect you, but after all, I can only protect you for a while, and when my husband forgets you in the future, you can ask for more blessings!" Mrs. Qian's face flashed a trace of cruelty, and she slowly threatened.
The guards around heard that Lei Luo was a distinguished guest of their master, and hurriedly walked back to the Qian family, looking at them, they were obviously afraid of their master's prestige and didn't dare to really do it.
"This is Miss Lu, you said that Erniang, who is not bad, is arbitrary, arrogant and unreasonable, and if there is a slight verbal disagreement, you will ask your subordinates to threaten to make trouble?"
This Mrs. Qian doesn't match the words 'not bad' at all.
"Erniang was born in the Qian family of the four major families, and it is natural that she has the arrogant temper of a big family lady, but in recent years, she has reined in a little, and she has become much more mature and stable," Lu Linglong didn't seem to hear the ridicule, and explained.
"Convergent, mature and steady, I can't see it!" Lei Luo looked not far ahead and muttered with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I saw there, this Qian looked at him with a vicious and vicious look from time to time, like a poisonous snake, and he would be bitten if he didn't pay attention to it, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Young Master Lei, how about accompanying me to go boating on the lake?" Lu Linglong suddenly proposed.
"Naturally, Miss Lu, please," Lei Luo naturally nodded and agreed.
Then the two of them walked towards a pier by the Silver Lake, where there were many talented and beautiful people, rowing a small boat in pairs, and set off from the pier towards the center of Silver Lake.
"Mother, this kid offended us so much, doesn't he care?" Young Master Lu saw the two of them walking away, and said to the Qian family with an unwilling face.
As the son of the state pastor, no one dared to offend him in Jinshan or even in the entire Wuzhou, and when he was judged by Lei Luo in person today, he was naturally resentful and couldn't swallow this breath.
"This kid doesn't know that he is dying, let him stick with Lu Linglong, a little slut, all day long, and when that time comes, hum!" Qian said differently, as if he believed that Lei Luo was a dying person.
"Mother, do you mean, the Quartet Dao Chief's side?" Young Master Lu suddenly realized, and when he said the Quartet Dao Chief, he still showed respect.
"This is natural, the Quartet Dao Master is an immortal master with great magical powers, and a poor scholar is naturally killed if he kills it!" Qian said in the same tone with a hint of respect.
The mother and son exchanged for a while, and then Mrs. Qian beckoned the dozen or so subordinates to follow, and set off with her son towards a temple on the Golden Mountain.
When Lei Luo was boating on the lake, he also saw the temple on the Golden Mountain, and saw the crowds surging in front of the temple, and the incense was vigorous.
"The temple fair at Jinshan Temple is so lively every year that many of the scribes and talented elders in the city will come here to pray for blessings and peace of mind before the imperial examination," Lu Linglong explained, sitting opposite Lei Luo.
"Hmph, what you need to get fame is your own true talent and learning, and you can get fame by praying to God and worship Buddha to bless you, that's just wishful thinking!" Lei Luo scoffed at this kind of behavior.
In this regard, Lu Linglong didn't answer, because she didn't know what was going on in her heart under this woman's cold face.
But at this time, Lei Luo didn't care about this, shook the oars with both hands, and rowed towards the middle of the Silver Lake.
