Chapter fifty-seven beautiful women waiting for seventy years
The autumn wind is bleak, the weather is cool, and the grass and trees are shaking and turning to frost!
So when the autumn wind blew up and Lu Jing's calm voice fell into Lu Jiang's ears, Lu Jiang's expression became more gloomy, as if the grass and trees were covered with white dew and frost, making it difficult to see.
He was still sitting high on the valuable black horse, looking down at the scene.
Lu Jing was looking up at him, but there was no awe or fear in his eyes, instead he was just calm.
"So...you don't want to reconcile with me?"
After a long time, Lu Jiang suddenly laughed, but there was not much smile on his face.
He stared at Lu Jing, leaned down and said, "This Lu Mansion is huge, but also very small. You and I will see you many times in the future. Today I will talk to you for the last time."
"Perhaps after some time, Nanfu breaks off the engagement, and Miss Nanfu Tianjiao writes you a letter of divorce, and you will know that ordinary library disciples cannot break the clan's cage!
By then, Lu Jing, you will probably know that you shouldn't say these words to me today, and you shouldn't have such a ridiculous character."
After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he straightened up and pulled the horse's rein.
The long-maned black horse raised its hooves high. The black horse was very close to Lu Jing, and a strong wind whizzed past Lu Jing.
But Lu Jing never dodges, as if he didn't see the dark horse approaching, and there wasn't much fear on his face.
Finally, the horse's hooves landed on the gray bricks on the ground.
"Kacha!"
Two extremely hard gray bricks shattered with the sound, leaving two hoof prints.
Lu Jiang sneered and rode away.
Lu Jing still stood there and said with a smile: "Cousin, I want to tell you today that there is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me."
"In your opinion, the rift between you and me is a very small one. You just lost a horse and a servant. But if I were defeated by Zhang Yuan that day, I'm afraid I would be like you."
In other words, it should be dead and useless. The best result is to live a lifetime on the bed.
This kind of rift, cousin, you want to reconcile it if you want to reconcile it? How can we reconcile it?"
Lu Jiang, who was riding the horse in front, stiffened and even the hand holding the reins tightened, causing the black horse to pause slightly.
But then, without looking back, Lu Jiang's voice came from the horse: "I hope you won't regret your choice today."
Lu Jiang left at this point.
Lu Jing also walked slowly on the tree-lined avenue.
"A villain has no integrity, abandons the basic and pursues the weak. He is happy to think about what he has given and is angry about what he has taken away."
"He regards his reconciliation with me as a favor to me, but he doesn't want to remember what the grudge between me and him actually started.
Moreover...he reconciled with me today, but yesterday he was still tampering with the distinguished guest. He just switched from using power to suppress me to committing some sinister deeds, which is shameful."
Lu Jing could see through Lu Jiang's hidden thoughts at a glance...
Although Lu Jiang, like him, was a concubine of the Lu family, his situation in the Lu family was very different from that of Lu Jing.
His biological mother was favored in the past, saved a lot of money, and pleased Lu Chongshan's wife, Mrs. Zhu.
Lu Jiang was naturally at home in the house. He was used to being arrogant and domineering, but now he thought he had suffered many grievances. How could he reconcile with Lu Jing so easily?
"It's hard to tolerate villains, so that's fine."
Lu Jing's eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
He entered the Lu Mansion all the way and then came to his small courtyard, only to find that there were two guests in the courtyard.
One is Lu Yi. This girl is wearing a pink gauze dress with gold threads and a jade brocade feather satin cloak. Her accessories include a cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpin, red jade drop earrings, and a waistband.
Comes with a jade pendant.
At first glance, he was loved by the second house.
It's just that Lu Yi today is not as lively as usual, and there is still a lot of sadness in his eyebrows, which surprises Lu Jing.
In the past, Lu Yi was the most carefree in this Lu Mansion. He could be said to be carefree and carefree.
He played in the Lu Mansion all day long, and occasionally went out of the Lu Mansion to gather friends for poetry gatherings and practice swordsmanship.
Today I look listless.
Lu Jing saw it but was not prepared to ask anything.
When Lu Yi arrived, the other guest was naturally Sheng Zi.
Shengzi actually wore some light makeup today, a little bit of powder, maybe some jade girl peach blossom powder, and her lips were bright red, making her look much more beautiful.
The vermilion powder is not deep and even, and the flowers are fragrant. It is good to look at everything carefully.
She was sitting in front of the stone table, talking to Lu Yi, but when she saw Lu Jing coming from a distance, she stood up.
Qing Yue's face in the distance still has some dirt on her face, which is probably the dirt from the pine garden just now.
She also saw Lu Jing coming, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Lu Jing."
With a smile on her face, Sheng Zi pointed back at the stone table.
On the stone table, there is a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
If you look carefully, you will see that this set of four treasures of the study is very good. The pen is a thousand-year-old red mulberry pen from Hewudao. The paper pages look very delicate, better than river silk paper, and it also has a layer of dull gold.
Lu Jing didn't know where the paper came from, but he only knew that such paper must be extremely valuable. Even in this luxurious Lu Mansion, he had never seen paper and pen of this quality.
As for the inkstone, it is entirely made of white jade, and is engraved with a white tiger showing its teeth and claws. It looks exquisite and extremely valuable.
Sheng Zi saw Lu Jing's eyes falling on the Four Treasures of the Study on the stone table, and said with a smile: "Last time I came here, I originally wanted to tell you two things, but because the elder of the Lu family invited you, I had to put it on hold.
So I’m here to bother you again today, I hope you won’t get bored.”
Shengzi spoke with a graceful manner, graceful appearance, and the rare heroic spirit in her white teeth and eyebrows, which was heart-wrenching.
Especially the cherry-red color between her eyebrows adds to her girlish charm.
Lu Jing smiled and shook his head: "Qing Yue told me about this, but it's just a word, so why bother with it?"
While he was talking, Qing Yue had already poured him hot tea, took a lot of food he had brought from the library canteen, and went straight to the side room to prepare.
She didn't say a word, but the tenderness and concern in her eyebrows were all seen by Sheng Zi.
Sheng Zi glanced at Qing Yue's back curiously, then turned to Lu Jing and said, "I'm here today because of a good friend of mine. My good friend has a distinguished status, but his tutoring is a bit strict, and he can't get out of the house easily."
"It just so happens that my good friend also has a childhood sweetheart who is also his sweetheart. It happens that he has been preparing for a long time to give a calligraphy and painting to his sweetheart. My good friend's painting skills are quite good, but his ink skills are not very deep, and he happens to see
After reading the few sentences in the article you gave me, I wanted to ask you to write a few words in his paintings."
In just a few words, Shengzi already made his intention clear.
She acted generously and decisively without any sloppiness.
Sheng Zi was one of the few friends Lu Jing had in this world. It was just a few words of request, so there was no reason to refuse.
So he nodded and asked, "I wonder which words I want to write?"
Sheng Zi first pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the stone table: "My friend is very attentive. This gold leaf paper from Zhanghuai Academy is used for you to practice your brushwork. I will also take that painting with me today, waiting for you to practice it.
Just write those few words and mention them."
When Sheng Zi said this, she winked at Lu Jing again: "My good friend has a good status. He doesn't lack anything on weekdays. Naturally, there is no reason for you to write for free, so I prepared a gift for this table.
The four treasures of the study above are just Raotou."
As she spoke, she reached out and took off a sword from her waist.
"This is a gift from my good friend and I. You are already a Confucian scholar when you enter the library. How can you not have a gentleman's sword in your waist?"
Lu Jing frowned and looked carefully at the sword in Sheng Zi's hand.
This sword is only about two feet long. It looks like a gentleman's sword for accessories. The hilt looks crystal clear and is made of white jade with white clouds and flowing water carved on it. The scabbard is made of black sandalwood.
, there is still some fragrance floating around.
"This gentleman's sword is extremely valuable at first glance. I just wrote a few words, how can I accept such a great gift?"
Lu Jing glanced at me for a few times, then shook his head and said, "Sheng Zi, you and I are quite familiar with each other, and you know my character, so how can you receive salary without merit?"
Lu Jing is not claiming to be noble, but everything in this world has a price.
His handwriting is indeed good, but handwriting is valued by people. Now that he has no fame and no reputation, Lu Jing also knows that his handwriting is not worthy of such a gentleman's sword.
If you accept it rashly, you will be in debt to others, and you will probably have to pay it back if something happens in the future.
Because of this, Lu Jing refused so decisively.
"It's just a few words, I'll give them to you, you can just take them as a favor."
Having said this, he walked up to the stone table, studied ink and started writing. Then he gently pushed the stack of gold pages aside and said with a smile: "It doesn't take much practice to mention a few words. That painting is still there."
where?"
Sheng Zi was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a painting from her long sleeves and spread it out carefully.
Lu Jing looked down and saw an old wooden chair painted on the painting. On the wooden chair was a young girl with a cold expression and a somewhat sickly look.
The girl's eyes were downcast, listless, and there wasn't even a bit of hope in her eyes.
In the distance, a sun shone down and fell on the girl, giving her more life.
Small bridges, flowing water, ancient trees and strange flowers...many images are vivid in that painting.
It is obvious that the person who made this painting put great care into it.
Sheng Zi said at the side: "Just mention 'If you don't come, it will snow in Taixuan Jing', these twelve or three words will do."
If you don’t come, it will snow in Taixuan Capital...
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Sheng Zi, who nodded.
Only then did he put pen to paper.
——
The food in the courtyard today was not shabby.
The dining hall in the library is somewhat famous, and both Sheng Zi and Lu Yi were extremely satisfied with their meal.
Even Qing Yue ate a few extra pieces of boiled mutton.
Until the end, despite Sheng Zi's persuasion, Lu Jing never accepted the gentleman's sword. In the end, he compromised and could only keep the set of four treasures of the study.
But in the end, Sheng Zi smiled frankly: "I prepared this sword for you. If you don't take it today, I will keep it for you. When you get married, you will have a sword on your waist. At that time, I will keep it for you."
I’ll give it to you again.”
After she finished speaking, she left with Lu Yi.
Qing Yue, who was standing next to Lu Jing, looked at Sheng Zi's leaving figure and sighed, "Master, Miss Sheng's friend is really infatuated."
"What?"
"I heard Miss Sheng's chatting with Miss Lu Yi. She was talking about the owner of the painting just now. It is said that the nobleman withdrew from a marriage that was very suitable for their clan in order to wait for the person in the painting to have some legs...
Bad lady.
This is already the seventh year.”
When Lu Jing heard Qing Yue's words, he couldn't help but nod: "In this way, that noble man is indeed a person who values affection and justice."
Qing Yue put her hands behind her back and smiled at Lu Jing.
She thought to herself: "It's only seven years, I can wait for the young master..."
