The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 389 Mind

The first time Lu Shi appeared in front of guests as Tang Qiling's disciple was actually shocking.

One is that he is 24 years old and unmarried;

The second is that he has a less detailed and slightly mysterious past;

The third is his appearance.

Lu Shi's appearance was different from that of the gentle scholar. He was tall and muscular, with a somewhat wild look in his eyes, like a fierce horse that was not easily tamed.

This characteristic that appears in a military commander appears in a scholar, and it strikes the eyeballs of women extremely strongly.

There was no hostess in the Tang Mansion, so the junior sister took the lead and invited the female family members to watch a play in the garden. The husband was a little worried and ordered him to go over and help.

Tang Jianxi insisted on following him.

Later I found out that this boy was obsessed with listening to operas and was also a good writer of opera scripts.

Halfway through, a young lady from an aristocratic family blocked the way and spoke in a reserved and cryptic manner.

"Master Lu, my hairpin is missing, can you help me find it?"

"No."

Then he met two more people. One said that the handkerchief was missing, and the other said that he was dizzy. Lu Shi dragged Tang Jianxi and left in a detour.

He has been among women for four years, and he knows their purpose very well, and he also knows that as long as he responds a little, a quick son-in-law cannot escape.

After all, he is now Tang Qiling's student and the prince's fellow student.

But he didn't want to.

A man's future must be earned by himself.

In front of the stage, the junior sister was laughing and chatting with others, while Lin Bi was busy nearby.

Tang Jianxi saw him standing still, "Senior brother, aren't you going over?"

"Don't go."

"Then can I go to the theater?"

"Go."

Lu Shi watched quietly in the dark for a while and saw that everything was in order. He was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone talking about him.

"Where did that person named Lu Shi come from? Why did Mr. Tang accept such a person? He didn't even say hello when he saw him, and his eyes were like the top of his head?"

"I heard that I used to live in the backyard of the Tang family. I relied on flattering the eldest lady to live in the front yard."

"Looking at him, he doesn't look like a serious scholar."

"Students don't look like him!"

"Just now I was going to the garden, and he stopped me halfway and said he wanted to help me find a handkerchief. He didn't feel at ease at first glance."

"I was a little dizzy in the garden just now, and he reached out to help me. He didn't understand any rules."

"Oh my god, then we have to remind the eldest lady to be careful."

"Can't you be more careful? There is only one young lady in the Tang family. If we really let him... all the family property will fall into his hands."

"No wonder I'm so old and haven't gotten married yet. It was just a wishful thinking."

"This matter needs to be discussed with Mr. Tang."

"Snapped!"

A tea cup fell to the ground, frightening the opera singer on the stage to tremble, and the opera suddenly stopped.

"My miserable father, my mother has only been gone for three years, and you have become deaf and blind. How can this be a good thing!"

"Miss, Mr. Tang was fine just now. You can't talk nonsense."

"Hey, my dad is neither deaf nor blind. He knows good from bad and can distinguish right from wrong. So why are you all so worried?"

Those people were stunned, as if the eldest lady had heard them.

"Miss, it's not that we talk too much. You are young, have little experience in things, and see things lightly."

"Yes, you have to be careful about everything."

"Know the face, but not the heart!"

The girl's chest was rising and falling with anger, "My senior brother is a serious scholar, so don't talk nonsense."

"Hey, Miss, could it be possible that we have wronged him?"

"Unjustly accused."

"One is unjust, what about the other two?"

"It's also unjust."

"Miss, you can't be so unreasonable."

"I'm just so unreasonable."

She suddenly stepped in and said angrily, "I'm in my own home, why should I reason with you?" Scholars don't know how to quarrel, they can only show some arrogance to bluff others.

Only Lu Shi knew that this girl must be gritting her teeth at this moment, her face flushed, and she looked like a shrew who wanted to fight someone desperately.

As a daughter of an aristocratic family, she should speak tactfully, be extremely angry in her heart, and be calm and calm on her face, so as to save some dignity for the guests.

The shrew and her are thousands of miles apart, and it shouldn't be like this.

Even for him.

Lu Shi's heart seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool, sinking bit by bit.

"It's obviously you who wants my senior brother to pick up the handkerchief, and it's also obviously you who ran up to my senior brother and said he was dizzy."

The boy named Tang pretended to sigh deeply, "It's a shame that I'm trying to persuade senior brother to help others!"

Heaven and earth are quiet.

Lu Shi frowned, turned and left.

He walked back to his yard in one breath and sat down in front of the window.

Those women were right, he was not a serious person, he was just pretending to be serious in front of the Tang family father and daughter.

He had obscene thoughts and lay alone in bed at night.

At that time, many women he had slept with would appear in his mind, fat, thin, delicate, charming...

The final image is always the face of the girl getting up from the ground and raising her head silently under the moonlit night.

Every time at this time, he would feel inexplicably ashamed, angry, and embarrassed, and then he would begin to spurn, despise, and loathe himself.

I despised my own birth, despised that woman, and those four years of drunken living and dreaming.

If I were born into a noble family...

If my mother was knowledgeable and courteous...

If I am clean in body and mind and open-minded...

If I were a few years younger...

Can I reach out and touch that face?

However, there are no ifs in this world.

A person's life experience, past, and experiences are his skin, which has long been fused with his bones and blood. It cannot be torn or scraped off, so what are you dreaming about?
Ridiculous or not?
Lu Shi took out the rouge from his arms, stood up and walked to the desk, opened the drawer and put it in.

……

On this day, junior sister received many birthday gifts.

What Chu Yan stopped sending was the authentic work of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty;

Tang Zhen presented a famous painting;
What the Prince's Mansion gave as a gift was a coral half as tall as a man;
What Mr. Liu Houye gave as a gift were two pieces of Suzhou embroidery and a white jade bracelet...

Lu Shi was glad that he had locked up the box of rouge.

The Tang family, which had been busy all day, finally calmed down. He accompanied his husband after seeing off the last guest, and went to the stable to read as usual.

He didn't know why, even though he had his own yard and his own desk, he still felt that reading in the stable was the most comfortable for him.

There was a light in the stable, so he thought it was the three fat men. When he got closer, he realized that the girl was standing pretty.

The candlelight fell and drew a soft outline on her body. Lu Shi's heart moved slightly, she was now a big girl.

"Brother."

She stretched out her hand with a smile, "Where's my birthday gift?"

"I don't have any money to prepare."

He walked to the fence and took Naoren'er out.

"Same as last year, I will be your groom."

She laughed from the bottom of her throat, "I'm one year older, so I have to do a few more laps than last year."

He said "Yeah" and his voice was slightly hoarse, "It can be done dozens of times."

"Help me up." She held out her hand.

Naoren'er was no longer a pony, she had grown taller and bigger. When he helped her up, he held her hand in his palm.

The hands are soft and the fingertips are a little cold.

He waited for her to sit firmly, took off his robe, rolled it into a ball, and placed it in front of her.

"Put your hand in and cover it."

"Brother, aren't you cold?"

"not cold."
