Yuanqing seventeen years, September fourteen.
The Earthquake in Shu, which Ge Tianshi had predicted, still happened, but fortunately, the earthquake was in the afternoon, and every household was eating, and the casualties were estimated to be the lightest in history.
Sui Yu, the servant of the household department, is the disaster relief ambassador this time.
Sui Yu was about to leave Beijing and Chu Xun was about to return to Yangzhou. The three friends had to get together for a while.
This time, it was Chu Xunding's place - the Red Sleeve Building in Nanqu, Pingkangfang.
The Red Sleeve Building is already the most elegant place in Pingkangfang. As soon as you enter the building, even the furnishings are different from the places next to it.
Entering the compound, I saw that the ground was clean and tidy, the hall was wide and clean, chrysanthemums were blooming on both sides, and there were occasional strange rocks.
There are three floors in the Red Sleeve Building. The first floor is a place to watch songs and dances, and the middle floor is a place to load calligraphy and painting, recite poetry and compose poems. As for the upper floor, it is a connected wing, a place where the beauty is hidden in the flower building.
Generally, dignitaries and dignitaries mostly drink and listen to music here.
Throughout the year, no matter how big things happen in the country, there will always be cars and horses around Pingkangfang.
The afterglow of autumn is cold and bleak, and before it is completely dark, candles are lit at the corners of the eaves.
As soon as Lu Yan, Sui Yu and Chu Xunfu entered the hospital, the rain outside suddenly became heavier. The so-called autumn rain and a cold, just taking a deep breath, seems to be able to guess what the wind will be tomorrow. cold.
Lu Yan lowered his head and shook off his raindrop-stained cuffs, frowning and said, "There are so many disasters right now, how many officials dare to come here so generously?"
Chu Xun said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Yu is going to Shu land to do things for the imperial court, can't you do it for him?"
Sui Yu shook his head and rolled his eyes at him.
The three of them all knew that Chu Xun came here to meet his new friend, Li Niang, the first talented woman in the Red Sleeve Building.
The old bustard lifted the curtain of the wing room, and Lu Yan and Sui Yu saw a woman with a bookish look all over her body.
Li Niang put down the pipa in her hand and called out softly, "Xunlang."
Then he said, "Liang Niang has seen Lu Jingzhao and the waiter."
The identity of the three men can be said to be more honorable than the other, such a high-class disciple, even the maid around him looks like Zhou Zheng, not to mention the beauty he has seen.
So they just glanced at them, then withdrew their gazes, and slandered in their hearts, Chu Xun's taste, no matter how far he goes, is the same.
I only love the white lotus that is deep in the mud.
Li Niang was half-kneeling to serve the three of them, and Sui Yu raised her glass and said, "This time I was ordered to go to Shu for disaster relief. I didn't expect you to leave Beijing at this time."
"There are many things in the Chu family that can't be separated from me. Someone comes to the door, and I can't leave my grandmother there alone to deal with it."
Lu Yan said, "But your cousin?"
Chu Xun bowed his hands, "Forget it, don't mention him."
Lu Yan said, "When will you leave?"
Chu Xun said, "Tomorrow."
It is said that the girls in Pingkangfang are the most knowledgeable and interesting. This is true. When Li Niang heard that her benefactor was leaving, she just paused while pouring the wine and did not say a word.
Only when this person is saying goodbye to himself.
At this moment, Chu Xun suddenly took out two copybooks and handed them to Lu Yan, saying, "This is the copybook that Shen Hong is in charge of. I don't have time to give it to him, so you can give it to him."
Speaking of Shen Hong, the Shen family. Sui Yu and Chu Xun's expressions instantly became subtle.
With Li Niang by her side, it was inconvenient to say some words. Chu Xun raised his hand and patted her waist, and said in a low voice, "Go play a tune for me?"
Li Niang got up obediently and said ok.
Chu Xun looked at Lu Yan and said, "Lu Shiyan, there are no outsiders here. To tell the truth, if you have something to do, you can go around the gate of the Shen residence, on purpose."
The daughter of the Shen family is astonishing. She has always been the white moonlight in Chang'an Langjun's eyes. Shen Mi and Shen Yao are already married, so naturally no one will care about her anymore. Therefore, Shen Zhen has become the top incense in the fragrant pastry. cake.
But just because of Lu Yan's domineering behavior, Shen Zhen's popularity plummeted, and even the business of the shops in the East and West markets has deteriorated.
Hearing this, Lu Yan raised the cup, took a sip, and said without changing his face, "She's ill, I'll go take a look, what's wrong?"
Chu Xun said: "Everyone's little lady pays attention to reputation."
Lu Yan raised his lips and replied, "What about my reputation?"
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, Sui Yu looked out the window, and saw a circle of yellow on the edges of the lush leaves. From a distance, it seemed like a layer of broken gold was embedded.
Sui Yu laughed lightly.
have to.
Our Lord Lu really is awe-inspiring and upright.
When people in the world say goodbye, they will always talk about the past unconsciously. No, Chu Xun rubbed his forehead, and was the first to talk about what they said when they came out to drink when the weak crown.
Even though his eyes are full of ambitions for a career, Lang Jun, who is in his weak crown, is full of vigor and vigor. When he occasionally drinks, he will inevitably have to talk a few times about which wife he will marry in the future.
There is no need to say Sui Yu, who doesn't know in Chang'an that the Prince of Xuanping's whole heart is on the second girl of the Shen family. Shen Yao celebrated her birthday, and Sui Yu carved jade with her own hands and wrote poems with her pen.
Otherwise, he would just stop in front of the Yunyang Marquis Mansion like a dog, and find all the reasons he could, just to meet Shen Yao.
The excuse was so stupid that neither Lu Yan nor Chu Xun could stand it anymore.
Every time he waited until Marquis Yunyang's face darkened before he knew how to restrain himself.
Besides, Chu Xun, Yangzhou Chu clan, that is also a century-old aristocratic family, and it goes without saying that their status is noble.
In the nineteenth year of Chu Xun, he fell in love with a thin horse in Yangzhou, a poor official lady. He was thinking of marrying someone back to his home, but his cousin took the woman as his concubine.
Since then, it has been covered in fireworks.
Twenty-year-old young man, either emotional or lustful, Lu Yan, alone, has always sneered at these things, and his eyes are full of black yarn on his head.
Once, Sui Yu frowned and asked him, "Lu Yan, you are going to get married sooner or later. Could it be that you really want to close your eyes and marry?"
How did he answer
"Chang'an is deep in water, and the aristocratic families are intertwined. I don't ask for the highest sect. The innocent scholar is the best."
The in-laws of the right family, that is, the two surnames, are often involuntary. If you find a troublesome lady, you must manage a lot of troubles.
So Lu Yan's first rule in choosing a mate is - to save trouble, it is best not to cause him trouble.
Sui Yu asked him again, "What about temperament?"
Lu Yan replied: "virtuous, filial, virtuous, and tolerant of others, it is best to have the skills to calm down the back house and stand up for affairs."
Sui Yu looked incredulous: "You pick and choose, you actually like this kind of temper?"
Lu Yan said: "The patriarch of the Lu family must naturally have some courage and some scheming."
A man who can say this is a typical heart outside, not inside.
In the end, Chu Xun couldn't stand his words and asked him, "What about his appearance?"
Lu Yan said dignifiedly: "Naturally it can't be bad."
Looking back now, Lu Jia Saburo's standard for marrying a wife is probably only the last one, which is considered to be kept.
As for the first two...
Looking at what he has done in the past year, I can see that in order to marry Shen Sanniang, is there anyone he doesn't count
Sui Yu's face hurts for him.
The night dew was heavy, and after three rounds of drinking, Lu Yan said to Sui Yu, "When will you be back?"
Sui Yu was suddenly silent, took a sip of wine, "Let's end the year."
At the end of the year, Wan Guo came to the DPRK, and mentioning this is tantamount to mentioning Shen Yao.
Lu Yan's joke was casual, because there was no accident, Shen Wenqi returned to Beijing, and the eldest princess was going to come to propose marriage. But Suiyu's jokes are now impossible to open in the slightest.
He is married, but there is someone in his heart that he will never forget.
Chu Xun knocked on the corner of the table and said in a low voice, "It's time for the drums to beat later, so let's get back before the curfew, it's going to be a long time in Japan."
After coming out of the Red Sleeve Building, Lu Yan bent down and got into the carriage. The evening wind blew, and he was drunk, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Knowing that there are many eyeliners in Baoningfang recently, he still didn't control his feet and went to the Shen residence.
At three o'clock, he skillfully avoided the crowd and entered Shen Zhen's inner courtyard.
The lights in her room were bright, as if she hadn't fallen asleep yet. When he opened the door, Qingxi was standing by the couch carrying medicine.
Shen Zhen leaned on the soft pillow, heard the sound, and immediately sat up straight.
He exclaimed in a low voice, "Sir?"
Standing beside the couch at a loss, Qingxi had no choice but to nod and say, "This servant has seen Lu Jingzhao."
Lu Yan walked over calmly, took the medicinal soup from Qingxi's hand, and said unhurriedly, "You go out first, I'll come."
This person who has been in a high position for a long time has always been aggressive when he speaks, so that when Qingxi handed over the medicine, he didn't realize how inappropriate this shameless act against the customer was!
It wasn't until I went out with a cool breeze that I suddenly realized.
Someone broke into the boudoir at night, how could she be the one who should go out
Lu Yan sat next to her, scooped a spoonful of the medicinal juice, and put it to her lips, "The three girls have been ill for almost a month, why is she still not healed?"
