If You Can't Be A Son-In-Law, You Have To Become A Saint

Chapter 57

The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the vegetation is shaking and the dew is turning into frost!

So when the autumn wind blew up, when Lu Jing's calm voice fell into Lu Jiang's ears, Lu Jiang's expression became even more gloomy, like the grass and trees with white dew and frost, dim and difficult to see.

He was still sitting high on that valuable and precious black horse, looking down at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing was looking up at him, but there was no awe or fear in his eyes, only silence.

"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 it's also very small. You and I will see each other many times in the future. Today is the last time I talk to you."

"Perhaps in a few days, when the Nanfu divorced, Miss Tianjiao of the Nanfu will write you a letter of divorce, and you will know that even ordinary Shulou disciples will not be able to get out of this clan's cage!

At that time, Lu Jing, you will probably know that you shouldn't have said these things to me today, and you shouldn't have such a ridiculous character. "

After Lu Jiang finished speaking, he straightened up and pulled the rein.

The long-maned black horse raised its hooves high, and the black horse was very close to Lu Jing, and a strong wind whizzed past Lu Jing.

But Lu Jing never dodged or evaded, as if he didn't see the black horse coming oppressively, and there was not much fear on his face.

In the end, when the horse's hooves fell, they stepped on the gray bricks on the ground.

"Click!"

Two extremely hard gray bricks shattered, leaving two hoof marks.

Lu Jiang sneered and rode away.

Lu Jing still stood where he was, smiling and said: "Cousin, today I want to tell you that there is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me."

"In your opinion, there is a very small rift between you and me. You just lost a horse and lost a servant, but if I lose to Zhang Yuan that day, I'm afraid I will be as you said. It should be dead, useless, and the best result is to live a lifetime on the bed.

This kind of rift, cousin, do you reconcile if you say reconciliation? How to reconcile? "

Lu Jiang, who rode his horse ahead, froze, and even the hand holding the rein tightened, causing the black horse to pause.

But then, Jiang Lu didn't turn his head back, but a voice came from the horse: "I hope you won't regret your choice today."

Lu Jiang just left.

Lu Jing also walked slowly on the boulevard.

"The villain has no restraint, abandons the basics and chases the end, thinks of what he has given when he is happy, and thinks of what he has taken away when he is angry."

"He regards the reconciliation with me as a favor to me, but he doesn't want to think about the reason for the grievances between me and him.

And... He reconciled with me today, but yesterday he still played tricks on that distinguished guest. It was nothing more than turning from suppressing with force to doing some stern activities, which is shameless. "

Lu Jing saw through Lu Jiang's deep thoughts at a glance. .

Although Lu Jiang, like him, is a concubine of the Lu family, his situation in the Lu family is quite different from that of Lu Jing.

His biological mother was favored before, saved a lot of money, and then flattered Lu Chongshan's wife, Mrs. Zhu.

Lu Jiang is naturally in the mansion like a fish in water, he is used to being domineering and domineering on weekdays, and now he thinks he has suffered a lot of grievances, how could he reconcile with Lu Jing so easily?

"It's hard for a villain to be tolerated, so that's fine."

Lu Jing's eyes flickered, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

He went all the way into Lu's mansion, and then came to his small courtyard, only to find that there were still two guests in the courtyard.

One is Lu Yi. This young woman is wearing a pink gold threaded gauze dress and a brocade and feather satin cloak with emerald patterns. Her accessories include cloud-footed pearl tendril hairpins, red jade drop bead earrings, and a pair of pearls around her waist. With a jade pendant.

At first glance, it is extremely favored by the second government.

It's just that today's Lu Yi is not as lively as usual, and there is still a lot of sadness in his eyes, which surprised Lu Jing a little.

In the past, Lu Yi was the most carefree in this Lu residence.

He played in Lu's mansion all day long, and occasionally went out of Lu's mansion to invite friends to perform some poems and practice some swordsmanship.

Today, it looks listless.

Lu Jing saw it, but didn't intend to ask anything.

When Lu Yi arrived, the other guest was naturally Sheng Zi.

Sheng Zi actually wore some light makeup today, a little 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 idle flowers are lightly fragrant, so it's good to look closely.

She was originally sitting at the stone table, talking to Lu Yi, when she saw Lu Jing approaching from a distance, she stood up.

Qingyue's face in the distance still has some dirt on it, probably from the soil in the pine garden just now.

She also saw Lu Jing coming, and a smile 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 was a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Looking carefully, this set of Four Treasures of the Study is excellent, the pen is Hewudao's millennium red mulberry pen, and the paper looks very delicate, better than He silk paper, with a faint golden layer.

Lu Jing didn't know where this paper came from, he only knew that such paper must be extremely valuable, even in this luxurious Lu mansion, he had never seen such a quality of paper and pen.

As for the inkstone, the whole body is made of white jade, engraved with a white tiger with teeth and claws, it looks exquisite and valuable.

Sheng Zi saw Lu Jing's gaze fell on the Four Treasures of the Study on the stone table, and said with a smile: "I came here last time to talk to you about two things, but because the elders of the Lu family invited you, I had to put them aside.

So today I am bothering again, I hope you will not get bored. "

When Sheng Zi speaks, she has a graceful manner and a beautiful appearance, coupled with the rare heroic spirit in her white teeth and crescent eyebrows, it is heart-wrenching.

Especially the cherry red between the eyebrows added a lot of girly charm to her.

Lu Jing shook her head with a smile: "Qingyue told me about this, but it was just a picture, so why bother?"

When he was talking, Qingyue had already poured hot tea for him, took a lot of food he brought from the dining hall of the study building, and went to the side room to prepare.

She didn't say a word, but Sheng Zi saw the tenderness and concern in her eyes.

Sheng Zi looked 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 noble status, but his family education is a bit strict, so he can't leave the house easily. "

"It just so happens that my friend also has a childhood sweetheart, who is also his sweetheart. It just so happens that he has been preparing for a long time to give a calligraphy and painting to his sweetheart. My friend's drawing skills are not bad, but the brushwork skills are not very deep, and it happens to be pretty. After reading the few sentences you sent me, I want you to write a few words in his painting."

In a few words, Sheng Zi already explained her intention.

She acted generously and decisively, without the slightest sloppiness.

Sheng Zi is one of the few friends Lu Jing has in this world, but it's just a request of a few words, so naturally there is no reason to refuse it.

So he nodded and asked, "I don't know which words to write?"

Sheng Zi first pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the stone table: "My friend is very careful, this golden leaf paper from Zhanghuai Academy is for you to practice your brush, and I will bring that painting with me today, when you finish practicing Just write those words with a pen."

Having said that, Sheng Zi blinked at Lu Jing again: "My friend is a good friend, and he doesn't lack anything on weekdays. Naturally, there is no reason for you to write for nothing, so I prepared a gift. The four treasures of the study on the table are just Raotou."

While she was speaking, she reached out and untied the sword at her waist.

"This is a gift from my friend and I. You are already a Confucian scholar when you enter the library. How can you not have a gentleman's sword around your waist?"

Lu Jing frowned, he carefully looked at the sword in Sheng Zi's hand.

This sword is only about two feet long, and it looks like a gentleman's sword used for accessories. The hilt looks crystal clear and is made of white jade, with white clouds and flowing water engraved on it, and the scabbard is a kind of black sandalwood , There is still some fragrance floating.

"This Gentleman's sword is very precious at first glance. I only write a few words, how can I receive such a heavy gift?"

Lu Jing took a few glances, then shook his head and said, "Sheng Zi, you and I are considered familiar, and you also know my character, so how can you be rewarded for nothing?"

It's not that Lu Jing is conceited, it's just that everything in this world has a price more or less.

His handwriting is indeed good, but handwriting is expensive because of people, and now he has no fame and reputation, and Lu Jing also knows that his handwriting is not worth such a gentleman's sword.

If you accept it rashly, you are in debt to others, and you may have to pay it back when something happens in the future.

Because of this, Lu Jing refused so decisively.

"Just a few words, I will give it to you, and you will take it as a favor."

When he said this, he walked to the stone table, studied the ink and took the pen, then gently pushed the stack of gold pages aside, and said with a smile: "It doesn't take much practice to mention a few words. 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 rolled his eyes, and saw an old wooden chair on the painting, and on the wooden chair was a girl with a cold expression, showing a bit of a sickness.

The girl's eyes were downcast, listless, and there wasn't even a hint of hope in her eyes.

In the distance, a round of the sun shone down and landed on the girl, but it gave the girl a little more vitality.

Small bridges and flowing water, ancient trees and exotic flowers... many images are vivid in that painting.

Obviously, the person who made this painting put a lot of effort into it.

Sheng Zi said from the side: "Just mention 'If you don't come, it will snow in Taixuan Jingzhong', just twelve or three words."

If you don't come again, it will snow in Taixuanjing...

Lu Jing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Sheng Zi, who nodded.

He just put pen to paper.

——

The meals in the small courtyard today are not shabby.

The canteen in the study building was quite famous, both Sheng Zi and Lu Yi ate very satisfactorily.

Even Qingyue ate a few extra pieces of boiled mutton.

Until the end, despite Sheng Zi's persuasion, Lu Jing never accepted the Gentleman's Sword, and in the end, he could only keep the set of the 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. On the day you get married, you will have a sword around your waist. At that time, I will keep it for you." Send you off."

After she finished speaking, she left with Lu Yi.

Standing beside Lu Jing, Qing Yue looked at Sheng Zi's leaving back, and sighed a little: "Master, that friend of Miss Sheng's family is really infatuated."

"what?"

"I listened to Miss Sheng's chatting with Miss Lu Yi. She talked about the owner of the painting just now. It is said that the nobleman resigned from a marriage that was very suitable for their family, just to wait for the legs in the painting to be a little... bad miss.

This is already the seventh year. "

When Lu Jing heard Qingyue's words, she couldn't help but nodded: "In this way, the nobleman is indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

Qing Yue put her hands behind her back and smiled at Lu Jing.

She thought to herself: "Seven years is so long, but I think I can wait for the young master..."

"Seventy years."
