Chapter 1 The new son-in-law can see the autumn light
The sun is shining brightly and the autumn wind is beginning to rise.
Lu Jing, dressed in Tsing Yi, was sitting among several rockeries, reading classics in a low voice.
"Six Three: Xu Yu, regret; Chi, regret..."
"Ninety-Four: You may jump into the abyss, no blame..."
Lu Jing's voice was low, but every word was clear and distinct, like the sound of jade, sonorous and powerful. The "Book of Changes" in his hand was also filled with his annotations.
In the garden in the distance, there is an exquisite and clear "Mingyue Pavilion".
Wearing a striped red dress, with a bit of heroism between his brows, but without losing his natural beauty, he was looking at the young man in Tsing Yi who was reading.
"Lu Yi, your third brother is quite interesting. He is about to join the Duke of Nanguo as his son-in-law, but he still insists on studying hard every day..."
"Doesn't he know that if he becomes a son-in-law, he can no longer take the scientific examination?"
Next to Sheng Zi, there is a beautiful girl who is similar to Lu Jing.
The girl's name is Lu Yi, and she is Lu Jing's second cousin who is studying.
"I don't know what kind of useless book he is reading." Lu Yi looked up lazily and looked at Lu Jing's position nonchalantly: "I heard from my servant that Lu Jing has been extremely serious in the past few months. He just read books.
It’s a little strange.”
"In my opinion, he is just showing off to hide his shame. After all... Nanguo Duke's government has postponed the wedding several times, and it is obvious that he regretted it."
When Lu Yi said this, he frowned slightly, his eyes clearly showing impatience.
Seeing the inquiring look in Sheng Zi's eyes, she took the initiative to explain: "The reason is probably that the martial arts prodigy in Nanguo Duke's Mansion was not very satisfied with his commitment to such an... ordinary husband?
Moreover, I also heard that Nan Guogong's condition has improved after Nan Heyu returned to Beijing, so he must no longer need to celebrate."
Shengzi tied her long hair behind her head and asked curiously: "The Duke of Nanguo doesn't want Lu Jing to marry into the family? But you just said the day before yesterday that your third brother's life deed and land certificate have been handed over to the household registration department, and his name has been recorded in
It’s on the external register of Nanfu.”
"Strictly speaking, he is already Nanfu's adopted son-in-law. Now that Nanfu regrets the marriage, Miss Nan has no choice but to divorce her husband? Doesn't this harm your third brother?"
"Sheng Zi, just call him Lu Jing." Lu Yi stood up, with shame and anger on his face: "Who cares about his life and death now? Although he is just an unfavored bastard, he is also a bloodline of my Lu family. He
Becoming a son-in-law would be a great shame and humiliation to my Jiuhu Lu family."
"Especially...especially now that he is disliked by Nan Heyu, his wedding has been postponed several times, and many of the rich people in this ten-mile Changning Street are watching my Lu family's jokes. I feel quite uncomfortable going out these days...
…”
"Lu Yi." Sheng Zi suddenly interrupted Lu Yi, who was speaking in a shameful and angry tone: "I shouldn't comment on your Lu family's family affairs, but... you also know that the reason why Lu Jing became the Lu family's son-in-law was not his own choice."
Lu Yi was startled, but her eyes became sharper: "The Duke of Nanguo asked him to name him, and wanted him to marry Nan Heyu to celebrate the old Duke's happiness. There must be a reason for naming him. It is probably Lu Jing's own fault.
"
"Isn't this bad?" Shengzi tilted her head: "Mr. Ning and the eldest lady made the decision. Lu Jing entered the Duke of Nanguo's house as his son-in-law. Duke Nanguo wrote three times to recommend that the eldest master of the Lu family, who had been relegated to Yuanshan Road, be recalled to the throne.
Xuanjing is now on his way home, which is a good thing for the Lu family."
Shengzi’s eyes are calm and her words are reasonable.
Lu Yi was slightly startled and remained silent.
Shengzi sighed in her heart.
She actually understood that the young masters and ladies of the Lu family knew that this marriage itself was a transaction.
Duke Nan Guo's mansion got a son-in-law with good family background, and he was able to celebrate the death of Duke Nan Guo, who was seriously ill.
The eldest man of the Lu family has also got his wish. He has set off from the poor mountain road and is about to return to Taixuan Capital.
In this marriage, both Nanlu and Nanlu families actually got what they wanted.
The only one who became a laughing stock or even ruined his future in this incident was the young man in blue shirt in the distance.
However, the people of the Lu family still care about the reputation of the Lu family in Jiuhu, and regard it as a great shame and humiliation for a bastard in the family to become a son-in-law. This is why they hate and humiliate the bastard who is not favored in the first place.
Lu Yi was still young and had been instilled with hatred for Lu Jing by the conversations around her. She was not entirely to blame.
Sheng Zi looked at Lu Jing from a distance, with some sympathy in her eyes.
"What a poor man."
"I hope your situation will get better when General Lu comes back."
——
Lu Jing didn't know that he was studying in the crevices of the rockery and being watched by others.
He just read quietly in the rockery.
What's strange is that what Lu Jing read was not the Four Books and Five Classics of this world, but a book that didn't exist in this world..."The Book of Changes"!
In March, I studied hard every day.
As the sunlight streamed through the pool in the west courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Jing finally finished reading the book in his hand again.
When the last sentence turned into an opinion and was imprinted in his mind, another white light was suddenly born and flew into Lu Jing's thinking.
There were already many white lights in his mind, intertwining the city, and the latest white light was like the last tile, falling on the whole ray of light,
"boom……"
Following an explosion, Lu Jing's thoughts were briefly distracted.
When he gathered his consciousness again, he saw that these many rays of light were actually emitting golden light, and the golden light shone, and countless messages were distributed!
"The mystery of Zhouyi lies in [seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune]..."
"Received: Blazing Gold Fortune - [Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune]."
As all kinds of information appeared in Lu Jing's mind, Lu Jing felt that his consciousness suddenly became clear, and a golden light exploded in it!
Everything in the past also quietly emerged in Lu Jing's mind.
This Zhouyi does not belong to this world, but Lu Jing happened to be holding a Zhouyi in his hand when he traveled through it.
Lu Jing traveled through time and studied the Book of Changes in such detail because he discovered that since he time traveled to Dafu, every time he gained something from reading the Book of Changes, a white light would appear in his mind.
When these white lights are intertwined, it seems to be building a strange... palace.
So Lu Jing, who had just arrived in a strange world, was like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood to save his life. For more than three months, he had been reading hard and reciting it every day.
Just today, when the white lights intertwined in my mind finally condensed together, there was that golden ball of light that was like the glare of the scorching sun.
Lu Jing was surprised by this, when suddenly, the golden light group flashed again...
[A gentleman who reads this can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune!]
【Someone is watching.】
[Ominous: Deliberately recite loudly to attract other people's attention, so that others can't help but admire your hard work.
Profit: Obtain a white destiny - [Hyperal Pretentiousness].
Disadvantages: If you are too deliberate, you may be disgusted by those who are interested]
[Ji: A gentleman will not be influenced by external things and continue to study hard until late at night.
Profit: Obtain a white destiny - [Diligence and Hardworking], and be admired by onlookers.]
Lu Jing clearly felt that lines of text were shining brightly, floating in his mind.
Both bad and good luck seemed to be waiting for him to make a choice.
"Read the Book of Changes a thousand times and study it carefully, and finally it will pay off."
Lu Jing took a deep breath and said, "More than three months of hard work have not been in vain."
In fact, he had already noticed two figures of Mo Hu in the Mingyue Pavilion in the distance.
But Lu Jing's eyesight was limited and he couldn't see clearly who was in the pavilion, so he didn't care.
So he still stared intently, thinking about the two pieces of information in his mind.
"Studying the Book of Changes helps me seek good fortune and avoid misfortune..."
The first message seems to be to show one's hard work in front of the guest, but the reason why the fierce elephant is so fierce is probably to make the guest feel that he is acting coy, which makes him feel inferior.
Moreover, because of my status, I am disliked by others in the house, and my behavior is looked at and criticized, which is not good.
"The second message is an auspicious sign. It tells me not to be tainted by foreign things and to continue studying. After weighing it, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In this case, I should naturally choose auspiciousness."
After only two or three breaths, Lu Jing made a decision.
"Although I have to read late into the night, since it is an auspicious sign, it should be beneficial to my life in the future."
Lu Jing's eyes were calm, and he took a deep breath. He took out another book of "Zhi Shen" placed on the stone table in front of him and continued to read.
"A saint has a master in his heart, and that determines the perfection of his heart and virtue."
"Things in the world are unpredictable, and life and death are closely related. How can one seek to survive and harm benevolence even if he is unable to avoid it..."
Although it was harder for Ji Xiang, Lu Jing had already understood his situation through these two months.
His biological mother was of low origin, and the old lady and eldest lady of the Lu family, as well as the mainstay of the Lu family, General Shenxiao Lu Shenyuan, all hated Lu Jing - who is now himself.
In addition, he was originally going to be a son-in-law, but now he seems to be disliked by the world-famous Nan family genius, and has become a laughing stock among the famous families...
With such a start, there is a possibility that the world will disappear one day, so he has no choice but to work hard.
and……
It's just reading more books, but it's nothing compared to the freedom of choice in the future.
