The three Lu Jianxin brothers, whether they were sick or healthy, were all neatly dressed and solemnly greeted the gentlemen. This was because this great scholar was not only Lu Mian's husband, but also because he was from all over the country and could often be heard.
Someone mentioned him in an admiring tone as a famous Confucian who deserves to be treated solemnly by his family.
After two rounds of tea, they spoke politely. The gentlemen did not tell me their purpose of coming, and Lu Jianxin was not in a position to ask further questions, so he winked at Zhu Jianfu. Zhu Jianfu found another opportunity to ask Lu Mian: "Second Master, the eldest sir has a small question.
Why are you, gentlemen, here?"
Because Jin Dajun's incident could not be concealed, Lu Yan did not hide it, so he told what happened. Zhu Jianfu heard about it, so he went into the house and took a flight to report to Lu Jianxin. Lu Jianxin heard about it and immediately turned his eyes.
After all, if Yu Zongsheng wants to smooth this matter out, he still can't just rely on thunderous means. Although Jin Dajun and others can't get it out now, but after the deterrence is over, as long as someone hands over a ladder, they will be released immediately. It is ready-made
So after Lu Jianzhong and Lu Jianzhong resigned, he took the initiative to ask Mr. Zhu: "Sir, what kind of trouble have you encountered? Although I am not talented, I can still do my best."
Mr. Zhu just smiled and said, "Thank you very much. It's just that one of my students was confused. It only takes two days to find out the cause. I'll just keep bothering you for two days."
"But please don't be polite, sir." Lu Jianxin smiled and did not force himself. He personally sent the gentlemen downstairs and told Lu Mian to take care of them carefully before resigning.
The gentlemen sat down, motioned Lu Yan to sit down in front of him, and said in a low voice: "The mountain bandits and water bandits in Wuyi have been causing a lot of trouble recently. They are robbing food and killing people without mercy. Have you heard?"
Lu Yan said: "I heard about it. These people have been around for a few years. When my grandfather passed away, I heard that water bandits killed people. At that time, the government didn't care about it, and I'm afraid it won't care about it now.
"
Mr. Zhu sighed: "There was a big disaster last year, and we were forced to do so. It's no wonder that it's hard to make a living." He rubbed his forehead depressedly, "There are external and internal troubles."
Mr. Zhu usually doesn't talk about government affairs, but today he mentioned it in such a tone that Lu Mian's heart sank: "Sir..."
Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "You have been busy all day, so go down and take a rest. I am also tired and want to take a rest! By the way, let your kitchen be nice and cook something delicious for me, Mr.! Your wife gave it to me in the past
The wine-marinated shrimp, game meat, and lychee wine are all good.”
Seeing his boldness, Lu Yan's depressed mood relaxed a bit: "Sir, please wait a moment, the student will go and get it done." After saying that, he ordered the boy to wait on him and went off.
Mr. Zhu sat down on the mat, raised his head and looked at the brilliantly blooming red-leaf tree on the porch and sighed softly.
Lin Jinrong was copying the articles of association of Yizhuang that had been decided. When he saw Lu Yan walking in quickly, he subconsciously looked at his face first, then went up to him and said, "Are you going out again? Is there any news about the people guarding over there?
?”
When Lu Yan heard what she said, he knew that she already knew everything about what happened outside. He didn't say much and just said: "I can't rush it for a while. Now the husband wants to eat something delicious, and I want you to give it to him."
Wine-marinated shrimp, game meat, and lychee wine.”
Lin Jinrong said: "Lychee wine and game meat are enough. Shrimp marinated in wine is not good. I have to keep the rules during the last year and don't eat meat, so I didn't make it. I'll send someone to my mother's house to ask." After saying this, he told Chunya: "Hurry up and go.
Let Lin Gui run home outside."
Not to mention how they entertained the gentlemen with all their heart, Lu Jianxin asked Zhu Jianfu to go out and inquire about the matter carefully. Judging from the temperament of the gentlemen, he was relieved that his family would not be involved in any way.
I entertain the gentlemen happily, but I am afraid that my etiquette is not perfect.
In this way, after three days, Changshou came back from asking for news from outside and said: "The pacification envoy and the magistrate are back, and they said that the case will be tried this afternoon." Then he told the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law everything they knew.
Sure enough, he became the plaintiff, accusing Jin Dajun and others of having bad intentions and instigating their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to cause trouble, just because they did not want the walls of Pingzhou and Qingzhou to be built.
Lu Yan was about to make arrangements to go out. Mr. Zhu drank half of the remaining glass of wine and waved his hands: "I won't go, I won't go, what a ridiculous show! It's not too late to go after those fools have suffered a little and have a better memory."
"
News came one after another. Jin Dajun roared in court and slandered the imperial officials. Jin Dajun had bad intentions, gathered people to cause trouble, and tried to sabotage the imperial border defense plan. Jin Dajun was slapped and sent to jail; the person on duty that day was dismissed and slapped.
, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law received generous pensions, etc. Finally, Yu Zongsheng expressed his feelings about not being able to do practical work and withdrew in tears.
Mr. Zhu said calmly: "What's the point of being agile?"
Lu Yan gave a bitter smile and did not comment. He just said, "I'll send someone to deliver the assassination."
The gentlemen nodded. That night, the master and the apprentice visited the Zhizhoufu Yamen together.
"Grandma, don't worry. I heard from Changshou that this time it went extremely smoothly. Mr. Zhizhou came out in person to welcome Mr. Zhu in. It won't be a big problem." Fang Zhu sat aside and accompanied Lin Jinrong to do needlework.
Everything was told to her, "This pacifier rarely goes out. He usually hides in the magistrate's office and rarely sees anyone."
Chun Ya got to know her well, so she smiled and said, "What Sister-in-law Fang said is interesting. What does hiding mean? The official lives in seclusion."
Lin Jinrong finished the little tiger-head shoes he was making and showed them to the two of them: "Let's take a look, how do you like them?"
Chunya and Fangzhu both praised her very much, saying, "Lizhi, this girl, I've had two of you for three years, and I'm so lucky to have my grandma make shoes myself."
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly: "She told me a few days ago that she would come back to serve me. Come on, the good news is coming."
The master and the servant chatted for a while, watching the moon go up in the sky. Lu Yan and the gentlemen had not yet returned. Lu Jianxin also sent someone over to ask: "Did the second master say when he would be back?"
"No." Lin Jinrong was also a little anxious, so Fangzhu said: "You go out and wait, and as soon as there is news, I will send it in."
Fangzhu hurried out, only to have two cups of tea before running in again: "I'm back. I'm going to see the eldest master first. The second master sent his slave to come over and tell grandma that she doesn't have to worry about it."
Lin Jinrong said hurriedly: "Is there anything else?"
Fangzhu thought for a while and said: "I can't tell. The expressions of the husband and the second master are very calm, and they don't look like they have argued with others."
Lin Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief, went to wash up and freshen up, and waited quietly for Lu Yan to return to the room. The oil lamp was about to burn out, and Cherry was about to come in to add oil. Lin Jinrong said: "No need, the moonlight is good tonight, I will stay under the moonlight."
Sit still for a moment."
Lu Yan arranged the gentlemen and gently opened the door and came in. He saw Lin Jinrong, with his black hair scattered, sitting quietly under the window. Hearing the noise, he turned around and smiled at him: "What?"
Lu Yan felt a little sad, and his tense mood suddenly relaxed: "Not good."
Lin Jinrong hurriedly stood up, went to help him sit down, poured a glass of warm water with him, and without saying much, sat down next to him and rested her head gently on his shoulder.
Lu Yan drank half a glass of water before whispering: "That day, Mr. Tear up my letter of advice."
"I know that my husband said that Yu Zongsheng was a vicious villain and that you would offend him and did not want you to become enemies with him. You refused at that time."
"The teacher also said that it is like making tea. If the water is not boiling, you cannot make good tea. Let me slow down." Lu Yan pursed his lips: "But today, the teacher mercilessly criticized Yu Zongsheng for what I wrote.
!”
"Ah?" Lin Jinrong was so shocked that he sat up straight. Looking at Lu Mian's face becoming more and more pale in the moonlight, he suddenly understood where his sadness came from.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and whispered: "I only knew that my husband cherished me, but I didn't know that he cherished me to this extent. You don't know what Yu Zongsheng's expression was at that time..."
Lin Jinrong gently held his hand, and Lu Yan continued: "It's exactly what Mr. He guessed. The prefect welcomed us in. He met Mr. at the door of the room, said many words of admiration, and praised my family for giving porridge and serving the court.
After answering his urgent need, he told me tactfully that there were rumors that I was the instigator of the trouble caused by Jin Dajun and others. Of course he didn't believe it... It was this sentence that angered Mr.
Lu Yan recalled how high-spirited Mr. Zhu was at that time, and how embarrassed and angry Yu Zongsheng was, as if he didn't dare to express his anger. He couldn't help but show some admiration: "Sir, you are really a gentleman, with a strong character. I couldn't compare to him."
Lin Jinrong's focus was different from his, and she only urged him anxiously: "Later, did Yu Zongsheng lose his temper with Mr. Jin Dajun and others? Will there be any serious problems with Jin Dajun and others?"
Lu Yan shook his head worriedly: "No, this is the most terrifying thing about Yu Zongsheng. I clearly saw that the flesh on his face jumped. Zhizhou was so frightened that he was ready to persuade him, but he actually endured it.
Yes, and I’m going to give a big salute to you sir.”
Lin Jinrong couldn't help but think that Yu Zongsheng and Lu Jianxin were really comparable, but Lu Jianxin didn't get along as well as him. But he said, "Sir, have you accepted his courtesy?"
Lu Yan said: "He didn't mean it at all, so how could my husband accept his courtesy? Afterwards, my husband told me that he hadn't scolded someone so happily in many years."
Lin Jinrong worriedly asked: "Will he be harmful to Mr.?"
Lu Yan comforted her and said, "No, sir, he is famous all over the country and has students all over the world, but he is no better than me."
Lin Jinrong thought for a while and sighed: "Yu Zongsheng will definitely make it back. Tomorrow, someone will surely praise him for his hard work, extraordinary magnanimity, and worry and hard work for the country and the people."
Not the most shameless, only more shameless. Lu Mian was silent for a moment and whispered: "Earlier, I looked at his expression and really wanted to get close to you, sir, so his words that some people rumored to be me instigating the college scholars to cause trouble, must have been
It can’t be fake. Then, who is it?”
Lin Jinrong said: "If you think about it carefully, who have you offended? I mean outsiders." Even if the second bedroom is not happy with the first bedroom, he will not do such a thing, that is the outsiders.
Lu Yan thought for a while, then suddenly thought of Lu Ji and said, "It's probably him!"
