Lu Zuo was looking at the river outside the window at the moment. At the line of the river in the distance, a full moon half-hidden his shameful face. The boats on the river were swaying with the waves in the moonlight. The cool breeze was blowing on his face. The past memories came to his mind, and everything was in his heart. Yu Qianyan raised his eyebrows for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and there were tears in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth to hold back.
Lu Zuo thought of the time he had with his father when he was a child, and also thought of all the people in that big house. In the yard full of laughter, Lu Zuo and his younger brothers and sisters chased and played with each other. They flew kites by the river embankment together; they read together in the ancestral hall; they caught fish together in the pond in the courtyard. All the past events seemed like yesterday, but they were so different. distant. But the tears of dissatisfaction still fell down like broken pearls.
"Brother Lu!" Gao Yun's rich voice interrupted Lu Zuo's meditation. Gao Jun said as he handed over the cup that was already filled with wine, and said, "Look, you haven't finished the little order with the character 'horse' just now?"
When Gao Yun came closer with the wine, he saw the tears in the corners of Lu Zuo's eyes, and couldn't help laughing loudly, "Brother Lu, this man doesn't shed tears lightly, why are you crying?" Now, I have never cried! My mother scolds me every day that I am a born killer and never cries. When she was just born, she was so anxious that she would not cry no matter how you filmed me, so I have never cried since I was a child. I know what it’s like to cry!”
After Gao Yun finished speaking, he laughed again, trying to influence Lu Zuo with this emotion.
Lu Zuo also smiled slightly, took the wine in Gao Yun's hand, and suddenly said loudly: "Continue, is the small order with the character for 'horse' right?"
"That's right!" Gao Yun pointed to the river in the distance, "Look at the vastness of the river and sea. Can you make a small order about it?"
Lu Zuo pondered for a moment, "Yes!" and then sang loudly: "'Swords roar in the cold wind, horses cry in the air, soaring clouds cut blood and slay green dragons. Straight up to the sky, the gods beg for mercy.'"
After Lu Zuo finished singing, he was so moved that he spilled the wine in his hand into the sky, then threw the empty cup into the river and sea, and then laughed loudly. Gao Jun was also fascinated by what he heard, looked like crazy, and started laughing along with him.
"Brother Gao, we are destined to be together today. If we never abandon each other, I, Lu Zuo, would like to become brothers with different surnames. I wonder if Brother Gao is willing to reward me?" Lu Zuo showed a rare sincere smile, and then asked excitedly.
"Three lives are so lucky! To be honest, a certain family has had this intention for a long time!" Gao Yun couldn't help but replied with joy.
"I'm twenty-four this year. I wonder when Brother Gao will give birth to a baby?"
"Then Brother Lu is my younger brother's brother. My younger brother is twenty-one years old this year."
After saying this, the two of them bowed their heads to the moon in front of the window.
Looking at the time, it was getting deeper, and the store clerk also ran upstairs to remind Gao Yun and Lu Zuo that it was about to close. Then the two paid the money, each helped his brother up, and they discussed staying in Lu Zuo's inn together. So he helped Lu Renxiang and Gao Han go to the "Gaosheng Inn" to rest.
The day after the test ended, it was another clear and sunny day. The warm sunshine of early spring shines through the window, and a few sparrows boldly chirp in front of the window.
Yin Ji was busy waiting in the room like a sparrow early in the morning. When he saw Lu Renxiang stretched out first, he wiped the floor while taunting Lu Renxiang, "Second brother, you are so drunk." How dare you drink so much! Second brother, you were helped back by master yesterday."
Lu Renxiang squinted his sleepy eyes, looked at his brother who was sleeping soundly beside the collapse, and then looked at the quilt covering himself, and couldn't help but ask: "What... what happened last night?"
"You were drunk yesterday!" Yin Ji held up the rag in his hand and pointed to a place on the ground, "Look here, this is what you vomited last night, and there is where the two men vomited last night! This is I just wiped them all off!"
"Two men?" Lu Renxiang asked hesitantly, "Which two men?"
"Am I still surprised? You guys didn't bring those two men back! As soon as you came back last night, you guys fell on the bed and fell asleep directly. I was scared to death. Fortunately, the second brother helped and brought those two men together. I moved to the guest room next door, but luckily I had my second brother to help take care of it later!" Yin Ji then asked in disgust: "You said you, we had wine together yesterday, how come you don't know who it is?"
Lu Renxiang patted his forehead and seemed to remember it effectively, "Oh! You said they are two! They are the candidates of the same subject we met yesterday. They are two brothers. The eldest one is called Gao Han, and the younger one is Chang. The more rugged one is called Gao Yun! Yesterday we got along quite well, so we had a drink together, but I don’t know when or why we got drunk?"
At this time, Lu Zuo was also vaguely woken up. This was the most comfortable night Lu Zuo had slept in since he entered Beijing, and it was also the most peaceful night. When Lu Zuo opened his eyes, he knew that there would be more and more things to meet him next, and they would become more and more complicated and dangerous.
Lu Renxiang stood up, looked at his brother, and said with a smile: "Brother, look this time...I got up earlier than you today!"
Lu Zuo didn't answer, but asked Yin Ji softly: "Ji'er, where were those two people last night? Didn't they come back together?"
Yin Ji stood up, threw the rag on the table, and said with a lazy smile: "Master, you still remember this! This bed could not accommodate so many people last night. The shop assistant and I helped them all together last night. Go to the next room and sleep! The store clerk is helping you there right now!"
Lu Zuo then nodded with confidence, "That's good!"
"Dong dong dong" The waiter outside the store is calling to open the door. He came in and said that there were a few people outside asking to see Mr. Lu.
Lu Zuo knew without guessing that they must be from King Wei, so he nodded to let them in!
When those people came to Lu Zuo's guest room, they were sensible. Only the leading servant nodded and bowed into the room. The other four or five people stood outside the door with various household items in their hands to wait on them.
"The young one was sent by King Wei to serve Mr. Lu. King Wei specially asked the young ones to send some household items. Mr. Lu must be his subordinates." The leader did not wait for Lu Zuo to speak and directly called the servants outside the door to get the things. When they got up, four or five people each held brocade, charcoal stove, cloak and other supplies, and placed them neatly on the table in the middle of the room.
The leader continued: "King Wei said that he is very busy these days and will come to visit you later. Mr. Lu, if you think there is anything else missing, you can also call the store clerk to report to the house. I’ve already informed the innkeeper.”
Lu Zuo nodded to indicate that he understood, "When you go back to Prince Wei's Mansion and report back, just say that I already know that the prince is interested, and I will be very grateful. You can go back first."
After Lu Zuo finished speaking, the servants bowed respectfully and then turned around and left one by one.
Yin Ji walked to the bed and sat down, and asked with concern: "Master, how did you and your second brother do in the exam this time? Can you come back with the top spot?"
