Cao Thief

Chapter 197 Wan Qingsi ([-])
Lu Yi's height was about the same as Cao Peng's, but he looked slightly stronger than Cao Peng.

Later generations often say: The children of the poor will be the head of the family early.But in fact, as a child of a family that is about to decline, he often bears more responsibilities.The same is true for Lu Yi. At the age of 12, he became a member of the family and took on the important task of running the family.This also made his seemingly immature cheeks reveal a solemnity and calmness unmatched by his peers.Cao Peng can also be regarded as a role model among his peers.However, compared with Lu Yi, Cao Peng felt that he was a little insufficient, and lacked the bearing of a child of an aristocratic family.

Seeing Xun Yan, Lu Yi was not surprised.

On the contrary, in his speech and demeanor, he revealed a strong sense of vigilance and vigilance.

Maybe it wasn't aimed at Xun Yan, but because of the caution he had cultivated for a long time.After all, there was a lot of grievances between the Lu family and the Sun family in Huating. When Sun Ce attacked the Lujiang River, the killing of the Lu family members was still an indelible pain in the hearts of the Lu family members.

The Lu family's children harbored hatred towards the Sun family.

The Sun family, on the other hand, was wary of the children of the Lu family.

Now that the Lu family is living under the rule of the Sun family, they will be wary of everything, which is a normal thing in the first place.

Therefore, Lu Yi's speech was decent, but his attitude was indifferent, with a feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away.

But Xun Yanhun didn't care, and talked and laughed happily.He talked about how he was dealt with by Lu Xian, and about his friendship with Lu Jun in Luoyang in the early years.

Lu Yi always kept a warm smile and added a few decent remarks from time to time, which made Xun Yan very happy.

Cao Peng knelt and sat behind Xun Yan, observing Lu Yi silently.

Lu Yi and Cao Peng are about the same age, according to Xun Yan, they are the same age.But Lu Yi seems to be two months older than Cao Peng...but it's the gap of these two months that makes Lu Yi look much calmer than Cao Peng.Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered his servants to go down to prepare a banquet.

"I'm afraid it's too late for my uncle to go back now. How about staying here tonight?"

Xun Yan nodded and replied, "Just as my nephew said.

By the way, when I came here, I heard people say that my nephew's wedding is coming soon?I don't know how to set a wedding date? "

"If you go back to uncle, the wedding date has already been set, and it will be in eighteen days."

"Uh, but I don't think the Fuchu is prepared?"

"It's ready... However, Uncle Gu sent someone to say that it's best to keep everything simple, and don't spend a lot of time, it's not beautiful."

"Uncle Gu?"

Xun Yan was taken aback, "You mean..."

"I think my uncle also knows each other. Uncle Gu is the elder brother of my father-in-law. I heard that he had close contacts with Uncle Xun in the early years. At that time, Uncle Gu was still studying under Uncle Bo Jie."

"You mean, Gu Yuantan?"

"Exactly."

Cao Peng cursed again in his heart: You are a good person, don't always call 'zi', okay?Gu Yuan sighed, it sounds so familiar!

But he knew who 'Bo Jie Gong' was, that was Cai Yong.

Cai Yong's student?
Faintly, Cao Peng remembered that he had read a novel about traveling through the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, in which there seemed to be many students introduced by Cai Yong, and one of them... Gu Yong!Yes, it is Gu Yong, Gu Yuantan.This person seems to be a student of Cai Yong, and later the prime minister of Soochow.

Is Lu Yi married to Gu Yong's niece?
Xun Yan nodded again and again, "Brother Yuan Tan speaks little, is virtuous, loyal and virtuous, he was a role model at that time.

By the way, I've heard people say that he is working under Marquis Wu's tent now?This time I came to Wu County, but I haven't had time to visit Gu's family. "

"Uncle is now the head of Shangyu, but he will come on the wedding day."

"So, very good!" Xun Yan nodded again and again, "Brother Yuan Tan and I haven't seen each other for a long time. After he returned home, we haven't contacted him again, so we can hang out with him then."

Lu Yi would never start a conversation easily, but every time Xun Yan asked a question, he answered very decently and in detail.

The two of them just asked and answered, and the time passed quickly.

Afterwards, Lu Yi prepared a banquet, Xun Yan was at the banquet, seeing Cao Peng was silent, suddenly remembered something.

"My nephew."

"Here."

"I want to ask you about someone... I don't know if there is someone in your Lu clan named Lu Xun?"

This was originally a very common greeting, which made Lu Yi stunned.

After a while, he nodded with a strange expression, "Go back to Uncle, there is indeed such a person."

Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes wide and pricked up his ears.

Lu Xun, he is indeed a child of the Huating Lu family...

However, Lu Yi's last sentence made Cao Peng stupid.

"Lu Xun is my nephew."

Xun Yan was also stunned, "You are Lu Xun?"

"At the beginning of the year, my nephew held the crowning ceremony, and then set the date of marriage. At that time, my nephew... since my uncle was on a mission to Jiangdong, he should know the situation of the Lu family. The Lu family and the Gu family are both century-old families in Wujun. We got married again... My nephew felt that it would be difficult in the future. My nephew is now in the Gangji family, and I feel that the responsibility is heavy, so I changed my name to 'Lu Xun'."

Humility means to give in, to endure, to be in harmony with the light.

At the same time, it also represents the current situation of the Lu family. They must be with the light, they must give in, they must endure...

Lu Yi changed his name to Lu Xun, roughly meaning that.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Xun Yan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.Regardless of Lu Yi's young age, he has already mastered the way of survival in this world.

He didn't make it very clear, but the word 'poor' described his predicament extremely thoroughly.

Lu Yi said: "Why did uncle suddenly ask about this matter? Not many people know about my nephew's name change. Except for uncle, even the family members don't know. I planned to make it public after my wedding... ... and where did uncle get this name from?"

"This one……"

Xun Yan hesitated, "Could it be that there is no second Lu Xun in Jiangdong?"

"As far as I know, none of the children with the surname Lu in Wu County is called Lu Xun."

Xun Yan turned his head and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng rolled his eyes and said hastily: "Sir, the student also heard about it from the market by chance.

It is said that Lu Xun has learned a lot from others, and he is Jiangdong Junjie.But where are they from?The students are not very clear, so I asked this question on the way. "

Cao Peng's words immediately blurred the question.

Heard in the market?
Of course there is no way to study...

Lu Xun's expression was a little unnatural, and he said softly: "Dare to ask, what does that person look like?"

"Alchemist, he is an alchemist."

Lu Xunyu's face sank slightly, revealing a dignified look.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."

This sentence was said by Gao Yu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it comes from "Han Shi Wai Zhuan".Puyang Kai has studied Korean poetry intensively, so Cao Peng is no stranger to it.

The original words are very famous in later generations: the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the child wants to support but the relatives do not wait.

The meaning of Lu Xun's words is: I have tried my best to forbear and give in, but it seems that someone still wants to push me to the forefront.

Xun Yan was silent.

"My nephew."

"Here."

"There is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Please tell my uncle."

After hesitating for a moment, Xun Yan said softly, "If you can't stay in Jiangdong, you might as well go to Yingchuan."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly, "It's not that my nephew doesn't want to, it's because the family business is here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave... However, my uncle's words will be remembered by my nephew."

Cao Peng never expected that a sentence he made up casually would make Lu Xun think of leaving Jiangdong.

If, if Lu Xun is not in Jiangdong, who can resist Liu Bei in the future?
Cao Peng couldn't help crying in his heart, but he didn't know how to open his mouth... It can be seen that Lu Xun actually has a lot of resentment, even hatred, towards the Sun family.Otherwise, he would not have said such words.Everything came to a conclusion as early as in Lujiang.

However, since there was such animosity between the Lu family and the Sun family, why did Lu Xun...

Cao Peng couldn't understand the ingenuity of this.

————————————————————————

After the banquet, Lu Xun arranged for Xun Yan and others to rest.

The lintel of the Lu family seems to have been ruined, but its property still exists.After Lu Kang's death, the descendants of Lu Xian and Lu Kang merged into one.

The two trilogy also merged accordingly, but they also have the power to protect themselves.

The North Kuayuan of the Lu family lived in Lu Kang's children; the South Kuayuan belonged to Lu Xun's family.

There are about a thousand people living in the nearly two-hectare mansion.Among them, there are about 200 trilogy, but less than [-] children of the Lu family.Xun Yan said that at the beginning there were nearly five hundred children of the Lu family, plus the number of side branches and distant branches, there were as many as two thousand.Although it is not the most famous family in Wu County, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten.However, since Lu Kang's death, the direct branch has suffered heavy losses, and there are only less than [-] people left, and the old ones are old, and the young ones are small... and the distant branches are wandering, fleeing and fleeing, making the Lu family never again. It is no longer the momentum of the past.

Sometimes, one wrong step, one wrong step.

This is the situation of the Lu family.

I don't know if the Lu family can rise again in the future?

Cao Peng really wanted to tell Xun Yan that the Lu family would surely rise.

Not just rising, but extremely powerful.I vaguely remember that in the later period of Sun Wu, the entire Jiangdong navy was under the control of the Lu family.The three generations of heroes following Lu Xun made the Lu family the number one family in Jiangdong, and their strength even surpassed that of the Xun family...

Xu Shi saw that his old friend's family was dilapidated, and Xun Yan was not in a good mood.

After settling down, he went back to his room early to rest.

And Cao Peng and Xia Houlan still lived next to Xun Yan's bedroom.

Xia Houlan was a little tired after driving all day.So after falling on the couch, he fell into a deep sleep.

Cao Peng was lying on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.I don't know what's going on, but after coming to Jiangdong, he often suffers from insomnia.

Standing up in his clothes, Cao Peng walked out of the room lightly.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very good, but the undercurrent is surging, which makes people feel very depressed.

Here, Cao Peng felt that there was no room for him to flex his muscles.The people I come into contact with are all talented people in the world, and they have to be cautious even when they say a word, not daring to relax for a moment.In contrast, in Xudu, in Haixi, and even in Dongling Pavilion, it seems very comfortable.

I don't know, when will I be able to return to Guangling?

————————————————————

The moonlight is like washing, sprinkled in the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, and the walls of the courtyard were covered with creepers, dyeing the walls green.The green color is dotted with many small white flowers, adding a lot of interest to the night.Cao Peng strolled along the path paved with gravel and walked out of the courtyard unconsciously.

In the air, there is an extremely quiet and elegant fragrance.

Cao Peng shrugged his nose, feeling the fragrance, which seemed a little familiar.

On the ground, peaches, apricots, and whites are falling, and the dew in the middle of the night makes the path even more wet. Walking along it is quite confusing.

There is an arch in front, past is the Lu family's garden.

Cao Peng took a step and walked through the arch. At the end of the path, among the sea of ​​flowers, there was a small flower pavilion, which was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.

The reason why it is said to be eye-catching is that there are wisterias hanging on the flower pavilion.

The wisteria blossoms bloom, spraying the fragrance of flowers into the world.

That familiar fragrance comes from wisteria flowers... Cao Peng stood on the path, and suddenly stood still.

Because, under the wisteria flowers, a girl in white was sitting quietly.Cao Peng could only see a figure outlining an exquisite curve.

The snow-white neck presents a graceful and sexy curve.

The girl wore a Zen robe and knelt under the wisteria, her slender fingers brushed over the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano came out immediately.

The black hair was loose, like a waterfall, hanging down to her waist.

Under the moonlight, the girl was like an elf in the world, without any mortal breath.

Cao Peng is blind to music and can't tell good or bad.

At his age in his previous life, he grew up listening to Alan Tam's Leslie Cheung's songs. To be honest, he knew nine out of ten senses of ancient music and knew nothing about it.

However, from the sound of the piano, he heard a kind of sadness like weeping.

Cao Peng stood at the end of the path, stopping to listen to the girl playing the piano.

Suddenly, the strings broke with a bang, and the sound of the qin came to an abrupt end... The girl in white lifted the expensive guqin and slammed it to the ground.

"what!"

Cao Peng was taken aback by the girl's sudden action.

However, following his soft call, the girl suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Under the moonlight, the girl's face is soft and beautiful, with the unique charm of Jiangnan women.But in those eyes, there was a kind of cold light, which made Cao Peng excited and gave a chill.

Cao Peng hurried forward, wanting to apologize to the other party.

After all, it is his business to throw the piano, he disturbed people's cleanliness, and it is reasonable to apologize.

Unexpectedly, he only took two steps forward, but the girl in white turned around and left.When Cao Peng arrived in the flower pavilion, the graceful back of the girl had disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

"sorry."

Cao Peng's words of apology reached his lips, and he swallowed them back.

In the flower pavilion, there is a delicate fragrance, which is refreshing.

Cao Peng couldn't help taking a deep breath, savoring the fragrance left by the girl.After a while, he squatted down and reached out to pick up the Guqin on the ground.The workmanship of the guqin is excellent, and the head of the piano is carved with a phoenix pattern, which is very clear under the night light.There was another word on it, but Cao Peng didn't recognize it.The character is not the popular official script or seal script, but Cao Peng can be sure that it is a character...

Picking up the broken piano, Cao Peng stood up.

On the wisteria, there is a long black thread entangled, presumably it was hung up when the girl left just now...

The aroma is so familiar!
Well, the fragrance of a young girl seems to have been smelled from somewhere.

Cao Peng held the broken piano and stood in the flower pavilion blankly.After a long time, he sighed softly, shook his head, turned and walked out of the flower pavilion.

That girl seemed to be an elf in the night.

Although it was just a glimpse, it left a very deep impression on Cao Peng.

who is she?Why did it appear in Lu's garden?And playing a sad piece of music, and then broke this precious guqin?
Cao Peng, full of doubts...
