"What's the pity about this?"

“Whether you are practicing Yuan Shen or practicing martial arts, you must have clear thoughts and not worry about gains and losses.

If you can get it, you must accept it calmly; if you lose it, you must not be indifferent; if it is inevitable, you must strive for it; if it is natural, you must let it happen.

The matter of Chu Daxiu accepting a disciple is just a possibility for me. I haven't gained it yet, so it certainly doesn't count as a loss.

If I feel sorry for this, there are so many things in the world that I need to worry about, so how can I find a path to enlightenment?"

What Lu Jing said was not casual, every word was serious and careful.

Shengzi stood next to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing's words also gave rise to many thoughts in her mind.

"Be calm when you gain, be calm when you lose, strive for the inevitable, and let nature take its course..."

This seems to be a kind of Taoist realm, a kind of Buddhist verse, and a kind of pure and noble atmosphere.

Rare and calm.

But this truth came from the mouth of the seventeen-year-old boy in front of him.

Sheng Zi thought about these principles, looked at Lu Jing, and felt that there seemed to be an unspeakable brilliance in the young man in front of her, which was brewing and was about to bloom.

She suddenly remembered that she was one of the first people to see these brilliance, and she felt even more lucky.

So, Sheng Zi didn't think about those reasons, and just said to Lu Jing: "It's still early today, will you come with me for a walk?"

It was just past noon, so Lu Jing was naturally not in a hurry.

The two of them left Sheng Mansion and walked on Changning Street.

The Sheng Mansion was at the end of Changning Street. Lu Jing and Sheng Zi saw many children of the noble family along the way.

She always has a heroic appearance. She usually rides on plain heels and wears red clothes when traveling. She is so beautiful that people dare not approach her.

But today, she was wearing a white dress, and the heroic spirit on her face was almost completely restrained.

Her skin is like jade, her brows are clear and soft, and her long hair, which was originally tied back casually, now falls neatly on her shoulders, making her look spotless.

Have the noble disciples on Changning Street ever seen such a grand gesture?

I couldn't help but look at him a few times as I walked back and forth, but because I was afraid of being rude, I hid my gaze and only dared to peek secretly.

The handsome young man next to the majestic appearance naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Occasionally, young ladies from various provinces who were out for fun walked by, and their eyes mostly fell on Lu Jing.

This is the main road of Changning Street. Most of the main entrances of the mansions on the street are here. Lu Jing has always walked through the Ximen Trail before. Although he has been going to and from the library for more than a month, few young masters and ladies from the mansion have seen him.

These ladies have more or less heard of Lu Jing's name, but they have never seen what Lu Jing looks like.

Naturally, they didn't know that the young man next to Sheng Zi was the concubine of the Lu family and the son-in-law of the Nan family who had caused a lot of commotion a few days ago.

But even so, Lu Jing, a young man wearing ordinary clothes but walking next to the most expensive lady on Changning Street, still aroused discussion.

Lu Jing was wearing the clothes Qing Yue bought yesterday. The material was not very good.

When worn on him, it gives off a different style.

The two of them walked like this, casually chatting about trivial household matters.

When they reached the intersection of Changning Street, Shengzi stopped and smiled at him: "I will send you here today. When you have some free time, remember to invite me to sit in your courtyard.

"

"I still remember the stone benches in the courtyard of the Lu Mansion very clearly. I miss them some days when I don't go there."

What is there to miss about the small courtyard of the Lu Mansion and the stone benches?

Lu Jing didn't know.

But he looked around and asked with some surprise: "So you are seeing me off? I thought you really wanted me to walk with you."

"Both."

Shengzi said: "If I just say I'm sending you off and keep sending you to the street, it will appear that I value you too much.

If I just ask you to accompany me for a walk until we reach the corner of the street, you won't know that I am seeing you off.

So I simply said it, and you will think I am generous."

Lu Jing smiled, waved to Sheng Zi, and left.

Shengzi looked at Lu Jing's back, and she suddenly felt that her former self was a dandelion that was accidentally blown into Lu Mansion.

The dandelions came from outside, but they accidentally caught a glimpse of the light in the young man.

——

In the evening, Lu Jing came back from the library and brought back two bottles of wine and two oil paper bags.

He passed by the door of his house, took two steps forward, and then came to the neighbor's yard.

Lu Jing knocked on the door gently, and it was Miss Hancai who opened the door.

Miss Hancai smiled when she saw it was Lu Jing knocking on the door.

This little girl is cheerful by nature and treats others warmly.

Lu Jing didn't want to disturb her, and just handed a pot of sake and a paper bag to Miss Hancai.

"These are the delicacies from the library. I brought them here specially. They have more flavor than those sold outside. It's just that the sake needs to be heated before drinking, otherwise the taste will be much lighter."

Lu Jing warned like this.

Miss Hancai asked him to come in, but Lu Jing shook his head and refused.

This family was kind to him, so he brought some food to the library just to tell Miss Hancai that he had never forgotten his kindness.

This food is enough for Miss Hancai, so there is no need to come in and disturb her.

"However, the white plum blossoms blooming in the courtyard are quite beautiful."

Before Lu Jing left, he didn't forget to praise him.

Girl Hancai smiled and said: "My lady planted these white plums specially. She said that although Yanglu Street is luxurious and quiet, it lacks some color, and the courtyard needs some plum blossoms to embellish it."

Lu Jing thought for a while and then nodded and said, "Even when the snow is humiliated by the frost, the white plum blossoms can bloom towards the sun. It would be a good thing if they can grow more lushly next year and the fragrance can come over the wall."

Miss Hancai was slightly startled and said sincerely: "It can be seen that the young master is a talented man."

While she was speaking, she turned to look into the courtyard. When she saw that there was no movement in the courtyard, she whispered to Lu Jing: "My young lady has also experienced hardships, and she also admires scholars very much."

"Hancai."

A cold voice came quietly and fell into Hancai's ears.

Lu Jing smiled at Miss Hancai, stopped disturbing her, and returned to his courtyard.

Miss Hancai closed the door.

A long-haired girl wearing a green dress and two slender legs wrapped in gauze walked out of the courtyard.

"Miss, this young man from Kongshan Lane is very talented in literature, and he also has a lot of truth in what he says, which makes people feel comfortable listening to him."

Miss Hancai smiled and said: "The snow is humiliating and the frost is humiliating, but the flowers are still blooming towards the sun. It would be better to use them on the young lady than on these white plums."

The girl whom Hancai called Miss shook her head, "Hurry up and cook, don't starve those children."

Miss Hancai nodded and placed the oil paper bag and sake sent by Lu Jing on the tables and chairs in the courtyard.

The girl lowered her head and looked at the things on the stone table, but she had some doubts in her heart.

"The spirit is so damaged that you can get out of bed in just one night?"

"Some... monsters."

…

Lu Jing returned to the courtyard and found out that there were guests in the courtyard.

Rou Shui and Qing Yue were sitting in the courtyard, chatting quietly.

When they saw Lu Jing coming back, Rou Shui looked at the oil paper bag and wine bottle in Lu Jing's hand and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that we came here. Mr. Jing actually brought back some food, which is just in time for a full meal."

Lu Jing naturally understood the meaning of Rou Shui's words. She smiled at Rou Shui, handed the oil paper bag and sake to Qing Yue, and then walked into the main room.

On a seat next to the main house.

Princess Chong'an was looking down at the many pieces of papyrus on the table.

On those pieces of cursive paper, most of them were Qing Yue's handwriting left when he practiced hairpin flower small regular script, but there were also cursive scripts written by Lu Jing when he was practicing calligraphy, or regular script written when he was teaching Qing Yue.

Lu Jing bowed at the entrance.

Princess Chong'an did not raise her head, but nodded in praise and said, "Your cursive writing is much better than when I first met you.

And the atmosphere inside it... is sharper than before, like sword energy soaring into the sky, dragons flying and phoenixes dancing."

At this time, Princess Chong'an had never worn such complicated and luxurious clothes.

At this moment, she was wearing a plain long skirt and a black gauze upper body. Her long black hair was exposed, with a red jade hairpin stuck in it.
