Kong Xian saw the fat old man walking towards him, and he couldn't help but be excited in his heart to greet him. introduced to everyone: "This is the chief housekeeper of the house, surnamed "Jin", everyone calls him Kimber!"

Jin Bo also bowed deeply to everyone, and greeted: "I think a few young heroes are also friends of the Tianshan faction, and it has not been peaceful recently, so come and sit in the house!"

As soon as the front foot crossed the threshold, there was a large courtyard, and the courtyard was planted with flowers and trees. It's not a big family, there are more than ten people who are busy doing it in the front yard, and these people have put down the chores in their hands when they see the son returning home, and bowed respectfully to everyone.

The front yard is connected to the atrium by an arched bridge, under which is a stream in the house, and in the summer, the lotus flowers in the river pond are also showing buds. Under the guidance of the golden housekeeper, a group of people came to the court, the decoration in the court is very elegant, rockery bamboo strange stones accumulate together, stone tables, stools and chairs, jade pillars and stone steps, and the winding path of the corridor. This Kong family is not the first of a hundred schools, under the cultural heritage of Confucianism and Taoism, even the courtyard design is quite poetic.

It was the first time Lu Yu had seen the living environment of a large family, and it was a bit simple compared to the courtyard on Qixia Peak, and there was no comparison at all. Looking around along the way, it was really like a mountain village man seeing the Great Palace, but fortunately, the people in the mansion were also respectful to several of them, which is not surprising after all, the Tianshan Sect has protected this Lingzhou City for thousands of years......

led everyone to the house, and before he stepped into the house, a few lines of words on the door railing attracted a lot of attention. The right book is engraved with "Bo Shi Ji Others" and the left book "I want to reach and reach people". Although I don't understand it very well, I can guess that it should be Confucianism and Taoism.

I found a chair casually, and when I reached out and touched it, it was made of mahogany, exuding the fragrance of wood. I also walked for a long time, and my tongue was a little dry, and when I saw that the tea had been brewed on the table next to my hand, I picked up the cup and drank it all. But I heard Kong Xian ask: "How about Brother Lu, this is my father's favorite Longjing, how does it taste?"

Although he knew the herbs of Longjing, he couldn't taste one or two of them, and he had so many scruples about drinking it so quickly, but it felt no different from ordinary tea, but he couldn't let others laugh at it, so he had to flatter: "Okay, good...... Brother Kong is really a big family! Let me, a fellow man in a mountain village, gain insight!"

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw a young man running in. This person is older than himself, with an extraordinary temperament, holding a folding fan in his hand, a green coat is clean and free of dust, his hair is clear, he is pinned with a wooden hairpin, and he also has a piece of the same jade hanging around his waist.

"Third brother, long time no see!"

"Second brother!"

As he spoke, he saw the two hugging each other, and after being introduced by the housekeeper, it turned out that this person's name was "Kong Zhen" was the second son of Kong Mansion and the second brother of Kong Xian. This Kong Zhen is very literati, and his behavior and conversation are also very elegant, but he is not at all like his younger brother Kong Xian.

"How can you still live comfortably in the mountains?"

"Second brother, my life on the mountain is very good, I haven't introduced the second brother yet, these people are also my fellow disciples of the Tianshan faction!"

Under Kong Xian's introduction, he greeted the four of them, bent down and bowed and thanked them: "Thank you for taking care of your little brother!"

Seeing that his status was so noble but he also bent down to salute, several people could afford it, and hurriedly returned the salute. I thought that the big families were all gentlemen, but when I saw it today, it was a big change.

Kong Xian looked out of the door again, as if he was waiting for someone, and when he didn't see him for a long time, he asked, "Second brother, why don't you see your mother?"

Butler Jin walked in with a teapot, made hot tea for everyone, and said, "This is not the recent sudden plague in the city, the old man is afraid that his mother will be infected with the epidemic, so she went back to her parents' house early!"

"yes, that's a shame. It's rare for you to come back, but your mother is not in the house. If the eldest brother also comes back, the three of us brothers will definitely have a few drinks together!"

Ming Chang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly mentioned: "I think that the son of the Confucian family should be the current head of the imperial court military attache - Kong Wu!"

"Haha, it seems that Brother Ming Chang has a lot of experience in walking the rivers and lakes. Yes, my eldest brother is Kong Wu, but it's a pity that foreign enemies have invaded our border recently, and my eldest brother has always stuck to the frontier, and he hasn't come back for more than two years!"

"For the country and the people, great heroes!" Although it is said that cultivators do not care about the world, the spirit of this good man to protect his family and defend the country is commendable.

But I heard the voice of the people outside the court: "The master has returned home!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked outside the door and waited for Prime Minister Kong to arrive, but only Lu Yu noticed Kong Xian's uneasiness and excitement. Thinking about it, the relationship between Kong Xian and his father should not be good, and it is not surprising, but the children who were born in the imperial family were bent on cultivating immortals and asked, whose elders would allow it?

I didn't see him, but I heard it, and although it was not loud, it was full of energy, hoarse with some tears. "I heard that Kong Xian's stinky boy has returned to the mansion? I rushed back from the City Lord's Mansion as soon as I hurried!"

I saw that the person who came was already fifty years old, and if the ordinary people under the mountain reached fifty, most of them had gray hair, but he was half black and half hundred. The body is not strong but very tough, an official uniform has not had time to change in a hurry, big eyes and high nose, a rich beard hanging in the air, the belly is not round but a little thin, and the waist is also hanging the same piece of jade as the two brothers, it seems that it is the token of the Kong family, this person is the current prime minister - Kong Chengong.

Although he was a little anxious, after all, he was his biological father, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Dad!"

Kong Chenggong patted him on the back fiercely and scolded jokingly: "Hmph~ You kid has been here for three years, can you know that you have gone home? What about Cui Yuzi? Why don't you see your master." ”

Although he was scolded, he was still full of concern, and he was still very moved in his heart, and replied: "I went down the mountain this time because of my experience, and I passed through here, and Master and he were not together on the mountain. ”

Kong Cheng drank a cup of tea, looked at everyone a few times, and said: "I think these are all little brothers of the Tianshan faction, and it happens to be almost noon, since a few of them are here, then stay for a light meal, and I can talk to Xiao'er!"

Ming Chang hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you for your hospitality!

As soon as these words came out, Kong Chenggong frowned at first, but he was quickly relieved, laughed a few times, clapped his hands, and ordered Steward Jin to go down to prepare the luncheon.

The efficiency of the big family is indeed amazing, and with a stick of incense, the big round table is already full of Han people. The dishes are exquisite, the aroma is tangy, and the aroma of wine wafts by, and you can smell the aroma of rice and grain even outside the courtyard. The golden steward poured a full bottle of wine for everyone, and every few minutes three or two men carried a slaughtered cow or sheep on their shoulders, but in an instant the table was full of delicacies.

Looking at the shiny roast suckling pig on the table, the whole sheep with charred skin and tender meat. Lu Yu's saliva had already been left, and he looked at his junior sister, and both of them secretly rejoiced. On weekdays, the two of them and Chef Li guard a wooden table every day to eat some chicken thighs and duck wings, but they can't imagine that they can eat the dishes of this big table today, and their hearts are happy. Speaking of Chef Li, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and he hadn't been to his stove since the last time he was confined, and I don't know what he was doing at the moment.

Looking at the table full of big fish and meat, Yun Yao playfully praised: "Senior Brother Kong Xian is really a big family!

Kong Chenggong slowly stood up, picked up a bottle of wine in his hand, held it high in the air, and said: "You Taoist friends are here to help me Lingzhou City survive this catastrophe, and I, Kong Zhengong, am here today to give you a glass of Taoism!"

Everyone also raised their glasses and returned a salute, knowing that they were not strong enough to drink, and this time they specially used the true qi in their bodies to force out the fierceness in the wine, so that no matter how strong the wine is, it is not indistinguishable from ordinary cold water.

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

Kong Chenggong raised his glass alone and toasted Ming Chang a cup, and looked at it carefully: "I have heard Xiao'er mention the prestige of Ming Changxian's nephew, and when I see it today, he is really a talent!"

Ming Chang also returned the glass, and saw that everyone was already seven or eight points full, and the wine had passed two rounds. Stunned, his words were a little solemn, and he asked, "Sincerely, I'll get straight to the point." I listened to Lord Chen Helm say, but there are people in your Confucian Mansion who have contracted the epidemic?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present also put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and their expressions instantly became serious. I heard him say that the matter was urgent, but I didn't expect that someone in this mansion was suffering from the epidemic, and I didn't expect that even important places such as the Confucian Mansion were also affected by the plague.

Kong Chenggong put down his wine glass, his words were a little solemn, and he nodded in response: "Indeed, as the beggar gang Chen Duo said, there are indeed many people in my house who have been infected with this epidemic!"

Kong Xian's hands trembled slightly, put down his chopsticks, looked left and right, and looked around, as if he was looking for someone. But he couldn't see the figure of the man, so he grabbed the sleeve of the second brother and asked anxiously: "By the way, what about the nurse? Why can't you see the figure of the nurse?"

Kong Zhen also lowered his head, his expression was a little painful, and his tone was slightly sad, and said, "Nurse she, she, she is also unfortunately infected with the epidemic!"

Kong Xian sat a little sluggishly after hearing this, sadness and sadness were written on his face, and everyone also saw it, thinking that this nurse was also a very precious person to him.

Ming Ming hurriedly asked, "Then the heart, can you take me to see the injured!"

The heartfelt duke was silent, his hands were clenched very tightly, and his heart was also very painful, and he said slowly: "These subordinates have also served my Confucian Mansion for many years, and I treat them like retainers. Yes, yes...... Alas!"

Lu Yu seemed to be able to guess the concerns in Kong Chenggong's heart, and got up and recommended himself: "Prime Minister Kong, don't panic! I have been studying medicine with my uncle to save people for many years, and I think that I may be able to come up with a cure for this epidemic, if you don't take me to see the injured first......

"Yes, my senior brother has studied medicine with Baicao Sheng for many years, and he will definitely be able to cure your epidemic!" Yun Yao also strongly recommended.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Seeing this scene, Kong Chenggong was overjoyed in his heart, and sighed: "God bless the people of Lingzhou City, this Lu Xiaoyou and you come with me......!"
