Lucky not to forget

Chapter 37 Lu Zhiyao

This earth temple is really small, two babu beds can't fit in it, the three of them bowed and hid inside, the roof is like a sieve, it was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly inside, so they had to hold their umbrellas and look at each other.

The young master smiled and said, "I met you in this wilderness and hid together in this ruined temple. I don't know where the fate was cultivated! My name is Lu, and Lu Zhiyao, dare I ask the girl's name?"

Liu'er said, "My lady's surname is Liu."

Wu Wang nodded his head slightly, seeing his calm and gentle face, he looked a bit like Pei Zhen, and couldn't help asking, "Is Mr. Lu a man of heaven?"

Lu Zhiyao said, "I am originally from Shaoxing. My grandfather moved here after he entered the imperial court. I have never seen a girl at the Saihua Poetry Competition in previous years. Isn't the girl a local?"

Wuwang was in a daze, really didn't know how to answer, and then thought about it, it is not necessary to tell strangers about their wealth, so he said yes in haste.Lu Zhiyao hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, walked outside the door and whistled, the wandering horse galloped over, and when he got to him, he didn't go to lead the horse, but said softly, "You are under the eaves Just hide from the rain, don't come in, the place inside is small, there are no girls crowded."

The horse actually turned around and slowly retreated under the eaves, half of its body in the rain didn't care, and looked leisurely and content.Wuwang and Liu'er were amazed and asked, "Does this horse understand human language?"

Lu Zhiyao said, "This is a famous horse, about the size of a four- or five-year-old child. You can talk to it carefully, and speak slowly, so it can understand it."

Wu Wang thought to himself, this man is really interesting, and that horse is also very spiritual. If there is a master, there must be a horse!Lu Zhiyao said again, "I thought I was the only one who found this paradise. I didn't expect the girl to come here too. Where did you two come from?"

Wu Wang said, "I went to the front to pay homage to my parents. Why don't you go to school, but why are you fishing here?"

With his right hand behind his back, Lu Zhiyao straightened his waist, and said, "Miss, have you never heard of stealing half a day's leisure? Wouldn't it be boring to study every day! I was released from office yesterday, and I can always do it now." Let’s take a rest and go to school to do something.”

Liu'er said, "It's a coincidence that we are in the same year as our second master! Don't think she is talkative, and cast a displeased glance at her, Liu'er stuck out his tongue and dared not speak any more.

Lu Zhiyao said happily, "Very good, I don't know what kind of official position the girl's relatives are assigned?"

Wu Wang said perfunctorily, "It's my cousin, I also came to Yingtian yesterday, I don't know exactly how."

Lu Zhiyao didn't care, he stood alone in front of the door, he didn't expect to see the rain fall so hard, he regretted sending the carriage away, how good it is to be trapped outside the city now, the rain doesn't know when it will stop, really Worry and worry to death!Just as she was thinking about it, Lu Zhiyao said calmly, "A car has arrived, I think it's here to pick up the girl."

Liu'er hurriedly leaned out to see that the driver was the boy in the head, and someone in the car opened the curtain to look out. When he got a little closer, he saw that the person who came was cautious, and Liu'er looked at him and said, " The second master is here to pick us up!"

Lu Zhiyao narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. It turned out that the second master they were talking about was actually Xie Shenxing. He couldn't help laughing that the world was small, and everyone who walked around was his own. His mother and Shen Xing's grandmother were direct sisters. He and Shen Xing It turned out to be an uncle and nephew. From this point of view, this girl whose surname is Liu and whose parents have both died should be the daughter of Liu Yu, the imperial servant who was executed in 24th year of Hongwu.

Shen Xing was taken aback when he jumped off the carriage, and asked puzzled, "Isn't this Uncle Yao Six? Why are you here?"

Lu Zhiyao said, "I was just fishing ahead, and when it rained, I went in with the two girls to hide from the rain."

Shen Xing was very surprised to hear that Mr. Lu was called Uncle Six, and thought that he was still secretive when asked, but now he seemed to be showing his buttocks, so he felt uncomfortable.Lu Zhiyao was still calm and composed, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, he turned to let Shen Xing pass by, and just leaned to the side and looked at them leisurely.

Bending down to look at Wu Wang's face, he said softly, "The old lady is in a hurry, you should bring a few more people with you, or call me, or call Shen Du, how can you come out alone with a girl?" Now, what if something happens to you!"

Guiltily said, "I didn't want to bother my family, but in the end it turned out to be self-defeating. I'm really sorry, second brother. It's raining so hard and you're still asking you to come out and look for me."

How can I bear to criticize her, and just sighed, "Silly girl, why bother yourself, who doesn't love you at home? If you have something to say, just talk about it, anyway, don't run out alone next time, fortunately, it is the Sixth Uncle Yao, What would you do if you were a villain!"

Wuwang was already panicked with shame, so he had to bow his head when he told him.Shen Xing said to Lu Zhiyao again, "Uncle, let's go with us, how much rain will make it come sooner or later? Why don't you go to my mother's place first, and send someone to send uncle back later, okay?"

Lu Zhiyao saw that the girl was getting more and more cautious, and she looked the same as when she was about to rescue someone, so he smiled and said, "You guys go, I'll leave when the rain is lighter, the rain is so fast that even the fisherman They were all confiscated, and I was still thinking about the two fish in the basket."

After hearing this, Shen Xing had to give up, cupped his hands and said, "The nephew has brought his sister back first, and next time he will invite his uncle to have a drink at the nephew's place." After reclaiming Wu Wang, he saluted him, Lu Zhiyao just smiled slightly. He bowed in return, watched them get into the car, turned around and found a clean place to take a nap, suddenly remembered that she hadn't given her an umbrella, couldn't help laughing again, it seemed that he was really going to be like Xu Xian in the play, he had to go when the weather cleared If you return the umbrella, then you can see the beauty again.

In the carriage, Wu Wang still lowered his head, Shen Xing looked sideways, his neck was so slender that he couldn't grasp it, and there were a few strands of hair scattered on his temples, which was a bit pitiful and beautiful.He asked again, "But are you bluffing? Why don't you speak?"

Wu Wang said, "No, it's just a little bit of rain, so I'm bluffing!"

Liu'er interjected, "Is that Young Master Lu a relative of the second master?"

Shen Xing said with a smile, "He and my mother are two cousins. My grandmother was the first to give birth to my mother, and my aunt gave birth to him when she was 42 years old, so I am about the same age as him. Coincidentally, we both took the exam in the same year. After passing the examination, and now he was released from office on the same day, uncle and nephew are in the same year."

Wu Wang also smiled and said, "Do you two have the same official position?"

"He's a fellow confidant of the sixth grade, with the same rank, but different divisions." Shen Xing said, "Did you just talk? My sixth uncle is the most unruly person, but he is easy to get along with, only sometimes he is a little stubborn, because he Son, there are some partial pains at home."

Wu Wang shyly said, "Forget it, don't mention it again! I didn't know he was your uncle. I saw him fishing over my head. When there was a strong wind, he disappeared. We wanted to rescue him when he fell into the water. There was a misunderstanding."

Shen Xing was amused for a while after listening to a joke, and then said, "He is the best at water, even if he falls, it will be fine, we said yesterday that we should transfer him to open the river channel, staying in the capital as a co-teacher is overqualified gone."

Wu Wang said, "He stays in Beijing, what about you? Where do you put him after the end of the year?"

Shen Xing was not dissatisfied, and said slowly, "The emperor ordered me to go to Beiping for a while, and he thought that my family has a widowed mother, and said that he would be transferred back to work after a year of release."

Wu Wang was puzzled and said, "Why can you stay in Beijing and use him?"

Now Shen Xing began to shake his head, and sighed for a while, "He also lost his father when he was young, but his grandfather was the emperor's young teacher, and he fell ill at home when he heard that the court wanted to let him go. This illness came very strangely. , the emperor naturally knows about it, why don't you just leave him to serve your grandfather."

Wu Wang couldn't help shaking his head, as expected, there are people in the court who are good at handling things, this person is amazing, his grandfather is wonderful, and his family is also very interesting.

Shen Xing was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with her speech, and seeing that her skirt was completely wet, he asked, "Is it cold in this wet clothes? Go back to your room and change your clothes before going back to the old lady." Wang nodded, and then said to Liu'er, "I have a sweat towel here, just twist the skirt for your girl." Then he untied the sweat towel and handed it to Liu'er, then turned to look out the window, saying , "When are you going to the temple, send someone to tell me, I will go with you."

Don't hope the words are good, I feel warm in my heart, Shen Xing has been careful since he was a child, and it is the same now when he is an adult, or because his father left early, he has not become eccentric, but has become more kind, which is really rare.

When we arrived at Xie Mansion, Wuwang's maids and mothers were all waiting in front of the gate, watching her come down and patted her chest and said, "Shentian Bodhisattva, girl, you are back, if there is a mistake, we will not survive."

Wu Wang apologized, "I'm really sorry, I didn't say hello to you when I left, and I made you worry for nothing."

Yuhua wiped her tears and said, "It turned out that we were careless. We didn't even know that the girl was going out. Let's go to the old lady to get the board."

Shen Xing said, "You should be punished, especially those little girls, who don't even have a night watchman. When the old lady asks later, she will have to be kicked out."

The girls turned pale with fright, and Wu Wang said, "Stop talking, I won't let them stay on duty at night, and they have nothing to do at night, so what can I do to keep them from noticing! I'll go and tell the old lady myself, and I will punish you if you want I will."

A group of people were rushing to the garden, when a boy ran over from the second gate and said anxiously, "Second master is back! Our third master is beating the third master, please go and persuade him!"

Everyone was startled, Shen Xing said bitterly, "You've been teasing cats and dogs all day, what happened to make your master angry?" While talking, he went to the third-bedroom Ruyi Building.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wu Wang changed into a jade-colored thin blouse and a gold threaded gauze skirt, combed her hair again, and went to Mrs. Xie's place. "Why don't you come back? Send someone to the front to wait, and come back to me when you see it!"

Wu Wang hurriedly opened the door curtain and went in. The old lady, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Lu were all there, and said politely one by one, "It's my fault, it made the old lady and aunts worry."

The old lady Xie let out a long breath, and said angrily, "This kid is so courageous, he took only one person with him and went out of the city. Are you going to kill me in a hurry? You can't do that next time!"

Wu Wang hurriedly leaned into her arms and said coquettishly, "I won't dare next time, old lady just forgive me."

With a waxy voice and a delicate appearance, the old lady seemed to have lost all anger, she just patted her head lovingly and said, "I know you are very filial, but it's scary to keep silent like this, let's not be an example. "

Wu Wang wondered, she had clearly returned to the Wu family before going out, how could she have left home without authorization?I'm not in a hurry to worry about these right now, a group of girls and women outside are trembling, so I'd better ask for mercy first.Then he pestered the old lady Xie and said, "Mr. Chun will never fail to obey orders! Old lady, look at me, I'm well-behaved, and the people around me should be forgiven. It's all my fault, so don't blame them."

"What face does Lian Hao still have to stay in the garden? It's better to send them all to the Zhuangzi!" The old lady said with a straight face, and seeing her niece looking at her pitifully, she had no choice but to say, "Since you beg If you fall in love, then I won’t kick you out, and you can still work by your side, and you will be fined for one month. The most misleading person is Yuhua. I thought she was a stable person, but she is also the head of a yellow croaker. .”

Wu Wang was too busy saying good things again, so he suppressed the idea of ​​sending the old lady away, thinking that the monthly fine would be fined, and it would be fine to make up for them later, and this little incident was safe and sound passed.
