Chapter 56: Waiting to get out of the cage and ask Lu Jiang
silence.
Chen Xuanwu sat next to Lu Jing like this, his body a little stiff and his eyes a little evasive.
Although he never said anything unpleasant to Lu Jing, he did mention words such as "concubine of the Lu family" and "brother-in-law" in front of Lu Jing.
In Chen Xuanwu's opinion, this was also extremely rude.
Therefore, there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his expression was very unnatural.
Lu Jing looked at him a few more times, continued to spread out the book pages in front of him, picked up the pen, and laughed softly: "Brother Xuanwu, it doesn't have to be like this. What you said is all the truth, and there was no ridicule in your tone."
, why should I be embarrassed?"
Chen Xuanwu then turned around and looked at Lu Jing carefully. After a while, he hesitated and said: "Brother Jing, you have something that is very good."
"With your appearance, except for the peerless Marquis of Zhongshan, who looks like a starry river, there are several beautiful young men in Taixuan Capital who are at least as good as you and cannot beat you by much."
When Lu Jing heard Chen Xuanwu praising his appearance seriously, he knew that this was the young man in white's way of relieving his embarrassment. There was probably nothing else he could praise.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Xuanwu saw another copy of "The Journey of the World" that Lu Jing had copied.
"Hey, Brother Jing, your calligraphy is indeed extraordinary, with dragon bones and phoenix feathers, and a lot of nobility in it. No wonder the gentleman in the library asked you to copy the classics."
Lu Jing shook his head, started writing, and the ink came out, while Chen Xuanwu was even more surprised.
He carefully looked at the time for more than ten breaths, and thought to himself: "I heard before that the concubine of the Lu family is not favored, and there are few people in the family to teach him. Today I met the real master, and just this pen and ink...
Few can compare.
Moreover, with the body of a young man, he can enter the second floor of the academy, from which we can understand the truth that seeing is believing."
"It's just that...even if he is a disciple on the second floor of the library, he has no fame, no practice, and no wonderful articles, the distance between him and Nan Heyu is still like a gulf.
I think the reason why Brother Jing is so calm is probably because he is actually looking forward to marrying such a talented daughter."
Chen Xuanwu was thinking wildly.
Lu Jing was still thinking about Chen Xuanwu's words just now.
In fact, when he married Nan Heyu, it was not he who married Nan Heyu, but Nan Heyu who married him.
This may sound awkward, but it is.
Chen Xuanwu just said he was getting married, but actually he was worried about the face of Lu Jing, the Lu family.
"Speaking of which, it does sound a bit shameful for me to marry Nan Heyu."
A slight smile appeared on Lu Jing's lips.
He has fallen into a lowly position, and "marrying" Nan Heyu has actually become an established fact. Because of this, Lu Jing's thoughts were actually quite sensible, and he didn't have much objection to this fact.
After all, he was looked down upon by people in the Lu Mansion. Neither Lu Jing nor Qing Yue had the slightest attachment or reluctance to say goodbye to the Lu Mansion, so it didn't matter whether they went to Nan Mansion or not.
What's more, this matter had already been decided before the current Lu Jing came through time travel. His household registration was recorded in the Nanfu Foreign Register, and he was not allowed to refute it.
But later, after the Nan family broke the contract again and again, Nan Heyu came to the Lu Mansion to "gamma leg", and Nan Xuehu came to provoke these three things, Lu Jinghui became the son-in-law, married to Nan Heyu in the Duke's Mansion of Nanguo
These things are all a little more disgusting.
"Now that Nan Fengmian is back, it would be best if the Duke of Nan Kingdom ruins this marriage.
If they don't regret their marriage and are dragging it on like this, it would be a great thing for me. When I grow more mature, there will always be a way out of the cage."
"And since Miss Nan is a genius, and there are many people who admire her in the vast Taixuan Capital, then she should naturally find a genius... A bastard like me is probably not worthy, otherwise,
How could the Duke of Nanguo fail to make promises again and again?"
When Lu Jing thought of this, his expression became more and more calm.
Chen Xuanwu, who was on the side, also saw Lu Jingfeng's calm expression, and saw the calmness and smoothness in his eyes.
"Young Master Lu Jing of the Lu family has a very good temperament. He can enter the academy because he is talented. However, he was talented but fell into a lowly status and was unable to take the scientific examination. I also heard that his engagement was repeatedly postponed by the Duke of Nanguo. This book
It should be a great shame and humiliation, but in his eyes it seems to be nothing serious. There is no resentment or blame in it, only a lot of gentleness and calmness, which is admirable."
Perhaps it was precisely because of this calmness and gentleness that Chen Xuanwu surprisingly calmed down.
He thought for a while, stood up again, carefully selected a classic, came back and sat down not far from Lu Jing, and read the book carefully.
On the fourth floor of the huge self-cultivation tower, the two young men were enjoying themselves among a group of middle-aged and elderly Confucian scholars.
It wasn't until the beginning of Youshi that Lu Jing stood up and was about to go back.
But he saw Chen Xuanwu looking at him with some envy.
"Brother Xuanwu...can't you go out?"
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Have you been in this cultivation tower all day in the past two months?"
Chen Xuanwu curled his lips: "I can go out too, but my parents are a little stricter and tell me not to hang out in the library. After leaving the self-cultivation tower, I can only go back to... home. When I get home, I have to take the school knowledge test. It's better than this.
If you stay in the Cultivation Tower, there are also beds here, but you just need to live with other disciples in the library."
"Then how do you eat?"
"Someone sent it to me. Brother Jing, please go back quickly. Don't worry."
Chen Xuanwu said helplessly: "It's just that there's no one around to talk to, so it's a bit boring."
Only then did Lu Jing realize why Chen Xuanwu was so proactive when he saw him. The reason was that for the past two months, he had been staying in the self-cultivation tower, staying with these scholars who were knowledgeable and poor in scriptures, and it was indeed a bit boring.
It's natural to be happy to see someone of your own age.
"Actually, the second floor of the academy is the most boring. If you can enter the third floor, you will see all kinds of top-notch geniuses in the world. There are also many young people, so it won't be so difficult."
Chen Xuanwu always spoke kindly and calmly, and his eyes were as clear as ever.
Lu Jing then said goodbye to Chen Xuanwu.
After leaving the Self-cultivation Tower, Lu Jing thought for a while and then went to the dining hall on the second floor.
Needless to say, the beauty of the library dining hall is that it is cheap, the dishes are complete, and it looks, smells, and tastes delicious.
Lu Jing brought a lot of food and returned to Lu Mansion along the path.
I have just arrived at the west gate of Lu Mansion and am about to enter.
Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves behind me.
Slowly improving from far to near, calm and powerful, it seems to be a good horse.
Lu Jing turned around and saw Lu Jiang sitting on a black horse.
This black horse has long brown hair, its head raised high, its eyes bright, and its muscles bulging as if full of exploding power.
Lu Jiang, who was on horseback, was also dressed in black. His back was straight, his body was proud, and his figure was graceful. Coupled with his good looks and luxurious clothes, he was indeed a rich young master who was good at martial arts!
"Mrs. Zhong asked him to think about it for a month, and he's already out in less than half a month?"
Lu Jing's expression did not change, he naturally knew that both Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhu played a huge role in this.
"I am also being punished. If I am the one who is being punished, then I may miss one day of my regrets this month. But Lu Jiang..."
Lu Jing thought of this and then thought of Qing Yue. A smile appeared on his lips, he shook his head slightly and wanted to walk into the house.
At this time, a cold autumn wind blew down, blowing down the withered leaves from the surrounding treetops, and the remaining leaves flew in the sky, making a rustling sound.
The originally slow sound of horse hooves became faster in the strong wind.
With a few kicks, he arrived behind Lu Jing.
Lu Jing seemed to have never heard the sound of horse hooves, and still walked slowly, not even looking back.
Lu Jiang followed for a while, but he probably felt bored, so he rode up to Lu Jing's side and walked side by side with Lu Jing.
The huge shadow of the black horse blocked the afterglow of the setting sun, preventing the light from falling on Lu Jing.
Only then did Lu Jing turn his head and look at Lu Jiang.
"Cousin." Lu Jiang had no expression on his face. He didn't even look at Lu Jing. He just rode forward: "You entered the library?"
Lu Jing continued to walk forward without answering.
Lu Jiang added: "When you enter the library, even if you are still a lowly student, unable to take scientific examinations or become an official, your status is different. You have an additional identity as a disciple of the library, and you still have some dignity when speaking out. "
He was whispering in Lu Jing's ears, but Lu Jing ignored him and just walked forward.
Lu Jiang frowned and snorted coldly: "Lu Jing, I came to talk to you to clear up the past feud. If you can enter the library, maybe the Duke of Nanguo will accept you. By then, what will your status be? A rich man, even though he is a son-in-law, can still make me look up to him.
In the past, there was not much quarrel between you and me, but at that time you were in a lowly position and you were against me. Naturally, I couldn't swallow that tone.
Today is different from the past. I came to talk to you, but you reacted like this... Do you think that after entering the library, you will fly away thousands of miles away? "
When Lu Jiang said this, a smile appeared on his lips: "There are high and low levels of disciples in the library. The library is a place for seeking enlightenment, not a place to form cliques. It will not protect you. If Nan Xuehu wants to kill you, the library will not protect you." The building will never take care of it.
You entered the library, but your lowly status is still with you. I'm afraid it will stay with you for the rest of your life. Under the lowly status, even the high-ranking consort can't get rid of the shackles. All these... Lu Jing, you thought you were here. What’s the big deal about the library?”
Lu Jiang's tone was calm, but there was a bit of resentment in his words.
Lu Jing, who had been walking on the road, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Jiang.
"So... the fifth cousin is furious?"
Lu Jing's tone was actually filled with emotion, and he sighed: "Fifth cousin probably feels that you have good intentions and come to talk to me and reconcile with me.
But I didn’t respond, I didn’t smile at you, instead I ignored you, and you probably thought that I had entered the library and was arrogant and ignorant of the world, so I reacted like this?”
Lu Jiang also reined in his horse and stopped, looking at Lu Jing, his eyes gradually darkened.
The wind blew the horse's mane lightly, but Lu Jiang's new favorite horse stood there without any movement, not even moving its head at all, but hot air was sprayed from its nose.
Lu Jing turned his head and said seriously: "In the past, my status was humble. If you need to understand your own thoughts, you should vent your anger on me for being used by Nan Xuehu.
Now I am angry and don't want to pay attention to you, but you think it's because I entered the library, but I don't know that the world is difficult, and I think too highly of myself..."
"How come...my cousin has taken over all the principles in this world?"
