Chapter 7: Koto Erriku
Two days later, two black and shiny donkeys outside Jianye City carried two men slowly towards the city gate. Many people's eyes were also attracted by these two unusually handsome donkeys.
But in the end, it is a big place, and although the pedestrians on the road are curious, no one comes forward to watch. Walking to the city gate, Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng got off the donkey, led by Zhou Cheng, and the two walked into Jianye City on foot.
Jianye is the capital of Wu, and ordinary people are forbidden to ride horses in the city, and of course donkeys are not allowed.
The flowery Jianye City, Zhou Cheng is still the first time to come, the city is full of shops, pedestrians come and go, the hawkers' shouting is also endless, many novel things Zhou Cheng is also the first time to see.
Such a scene made most of the people who were intoxicated forget the imminent trend of the mountain rain coming from the pressure of the Jin army.
"Lord, where are we going now?" Zhou Cheng was also confused when he first entered Jianye, and he didn't know what Zhou Chu's plans would be next.
"When I went to the General's Mansion, my father had an old acquaintance with the General, and I was recommended by him, and I thought that at least one county order should be an official position. Zhou looked at the crowded streets, discerned the direction and said.
During this period, there was no open department, and in addition to being a child of the scholar family, if you want to be an official, you also need to be recommended by high-ranking officials and celebrities. And a general of Wu like Lu Kang, the pillar of the country, will recommend a person like a pillar stone, and at worst it will be a county order.
Among the people I know around, Lu Kang is the first choice.
The General's Mansion was naturally extremely eye-catching, and soon the two of them came outside the mansion. Zhou Cheng stepped forward to worship Zhou's name, and directly said that he wanted to see the general.
As soon as the porter saw the famous post, although he didn't know who was around, he saw the words Guan Neihou, and he didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly entered the report at the moment.
Soon a butler-like man hurried out, and this time the door was wide open, and he looked like he was greeting the distinguished guests.
The housekeeper stood under the stage and saluted to the surrounding area: "I don't know the prince and the marquis, but the lord of my family is not in the house, the second son heard that the prince is coming, please enter the mansion for a while!"
Zhou was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Lu Kang to be in the house, but the so-called second son summoned him, which surprised him.
"So, it's bothered!" Zhou replied.
Now that the door of the house has been opened, it would be rude not to go in and sit down.
"I don't know where the general has gone, and when will he return?" asked the butler casually around the road.
"More than ten days ago, when the sun appeared, my father-in-law was worried about the safety of the border, so he returned to the Lexiang military camp to sit down. I'm afraid I won't be back to Jianye anytime soon. The butler replied in a low voice with his head down.
Bai Rixing is now a vision that everyone in the world sees, but at present, except for the two parties Zhou Cheng and Zhou Cheng, no one seems to know that this is made by Zhou Zhou.
Lu Kang also held the post of Jingzhou pastor, Lexiang was an important town in Jingzhou, and the main army under Lu Kang's command was stationed here to confront the Jin army in the north.
After the two asked and answered, they didn't say anything more. The butler took the two of them around to spare several corridors, but what they brought to was not the main hall, but appeared in an elegant courtyard.
The bamboo shadow in the courtyard is swaying, and a pavilion stands in the bamboo shadow, and there is a burst of tea fragrance.
"Please, both. The butler stretched out his hand and motioned for the two of them to go to the pavilion by themselves, while he stood still with no intention of entering.
"The person who came is Yang Xian around? I have heard the name for a long time, please come forward and talk about it. Just when Zhou was wondering with Zhou Cheng, a child's voice suddenly came from the pavilion, the voice was immature but gave people a sense of old-fashionedness.
"I think this is one of the prodigies of the Lu family, right? Brother Cheng, let's go over and have a look. Zhou Chu nodded at Zhou Cheng and said, and walked in front of the pavilion first.
There was indeed a twelve or thirteen-year-old child in the gazebo, who was carrying a teapot and leisurely adding tea to two teacups.
Sensing the arrival of the two of them, the child raised his head and glanced at Zhou Cheng, feeling slightly surprised, but this expression flashed, and finally his eyes fell completely on Zhou Cheng.
"I don't know if the son is Lu Ji or Lu Yun?" Zhou walked into the pavilion and asked the child with his hand.
Lu Kang has two sons, who are compatriots of one mother. Both brothers are geniuses, can read at the age of three, can write poetry at the age of five, and are now only twelve years old, but they have become famous all over the world, known as the prodigy of the world.
"Lu Ji is the brother, and the contemptible Lu Yun is also!" the child got up slightly and bowed in return.
"It is rumored that Jiangdong Erlu is inseparable, why don't you see Brother Ling?" Zhou took a few steps forward and asked casually.
"Please sit down while I tell you more. Lu Yun sat on the stone bench with him, and motioned for Zhou to sit down with Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Chu was also polite, so he sat opposite Lu Yun, while Zhou Cheng stood behind Zhou Chu with his hands down, like a servant.
"My brother traveled the world a year ago, and I don't know where he is now? Lu Yun pushed a teacup in front of Zhou Shi and said unhurriedly.
Zhou Cheng stood aside, but he was shocked when he heard the words.
Thinking that Lu Ji is just twelve years old, how can such a child travel the world in this year?
"I didn't expect it.... The son of the general, it's really extraordinary..."Zhou also showed surprise on his face at first, and then said with a relieved face, but the word extraordinary was extremely heavy.
"Actually, a year ago, my brother calculated your intentions. Although my father is away, I have asked for a letter for you, and a copy of the appointing instrument. Yu Khan County Order under Poyang's rule, are you still satisfied?" Lu Yun picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and then shook his cuffs against the stone table, and the two letters fell in front of him.
Although Zhou Cheng was a foot away, he could also see clearly, one of the two letters was written by the general Lu Kang to Poyang Taishou, which should be recommended to Zhou, and the other was the official appointment document of Wu State, which directly appointed Zhou as the county commander of Yuhan.
This recommendation and appointment were completed together, and Zhou was the only one in the world.
"Thank you for that. Since the general and Brother Ling are not here, let's visit Zhou at the door another day!" Zhou put away the letter, got up and said goodbye.
Zhou Cheng was puzzled, I don't know why he was in such a hurry?
Lu Yun didn't hold back, just smiled and nodded at the surroundings, and watched the two walk out of the small courtyard.
Just when Zhou Chu and Zhou Cheng walked out of the small courtyard, on the locked door on the side of the courtyard, the copper lock automatically fell off without warning, falling to the ground and making a 'click' sound, and then the door that had been closed for a year was automatically windless, and with a creaky sound, it opened by itself.
The room was suddenly filled with light, and the sculpture-like young man's robe swayed, and the halo of light on his body flowed.
Immediately, the eyes of the cross-kneeled young man suddenly opened, and then the whole room was calm again, and all visions disappeared in an instant.
When this young man who looked exactly like Lu Yun walked out of the room, Lu Yun had already gotten up and stood respectfully outside the door.
Seeing this young man who looked exactly like himself, Lu Yun bowed respectfully and saluted, and said, "Welcome my brother back from Yunyou." ”
Outside the General's Mansion, Zhou Shi and Zhou Cheng were in a hurry, leaving the General's Mansion quickly.
"Lord, why did you suddenly leave in such a hurry?" At this moment, the two of them were already far away from the street of the Great General's Mansion, Zhou Cheng was puzzled, so he asked directly.
"Lu Ji is back..... It's his Yuan Shen who has returned...."Zhou Cheng replied with some seriousness, this is the first time since the change in Zhou Cheng that Zhou Cheng has seen his lord so solemn.
