In the Lin Mansion, Lin Mo was lying on a lazy chair under the osmanthus tree, squinting and enjoying Guo Zhao's soft massage. From time to time he would joke, "A little more, a little more."
"Sir, go up and up again and again, this is Jiaofangsi's method." Guo Zhao said softly.
"It's okay, sir, I'm willing to remove the membrane for you." Lin Mo said leisurely.
"Young master is really warm-hearted." Guo Zhao, who couldn't hear the mystery in his words, just understood that Lin Mo must be doing it for her own good.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the illiterate Zhao'er still knows the ancient ways." Lin Mo continued to joke.
"Master, you have forgotten, I am literate."
I remember, you are literate but illiterate.
Alas, the life of ancient people was so simple and unpretentious. Lin Mo said that life without fighting or making inventions and making money was quite comfortable.
As the door creaked open, the old father-in-law walked in and threw the silver seal and green ribbon in his hand to Lin Mo. "Here, you have to take this thing with you. If someone takes it, you can go directly to Pengcheng Prefecture." of power."
"Thank you, father-in-law"
Before Lin Mo finished speaking, his eyes straightened.
I saw a girl following behind Lu Bu. She was wearing a pink dress. Her complexion was springy because of the rouge. Her crystal red lips were so beautiful that it made people want to take a vicious bite. Her black hair was circled by a With her jasper hairpin locked up and two sections of hair hanging down from her temples, coupled with her dynamic and curvy figure, she was so beautiful that she could even stun Lin Mo, who has seen countless female internet celebrities in later generations.
This kid actually swallowed his saliva.
Watching Lin Mo's Adam's apple slide up and down, Lu Bu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It seemed that Diao Chan's move was really effective. This brat's eyes wanted to swallow Ling'er up.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Lingqi was a little embarrassed by being stared at and turned her face away. In fact, she was as happy as a deer in her heart.
Women should look after those who please themselves.
She was very proud of being able to charm her husband like this.
You know, in the past year or so, he has never looked at himself like this.
"It's nothing, Ling'er looks so beautiful today."
Lin Mo also scratched his head in embarrassment. If she were to put on Mai Shiranui's clothes, tsk tsk, that would be awesome.
Not to mention the heavy mountains, just these long legs are the existence of legs.
"Glib tongue." Lu Lingqi glanced at him and raised her head proudly, revealing her snow-white neck.
"If you like, you can be glib." Lin Mo chuckled.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Bu sounded like he was flirting, but he didn't quite understand.
"Oh, if your father-in-law has nothing to do, I will send you off far away." Lin Mo didn't even look at Lu Bu from beginning to end.
There is no way, for more than a year, for more than a year, Lu Lingqi seems to have only two sets of clothes, one is purple leather armor, and the other is dark red leather armor.
In addition, he always holds Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand. Although he has a heroic appearance, but paired with his cold temperament, it always makes people feel that he can only watch from a distance and not play with him.
Therefore, for more than a year, the two of them have maintained a reasonable distance.
Lin Mo couldn't help but complain in his heart, if you had dressed up like this earlier, you would have a baby.
"You think I'm in the way?"
Lu Bu was stunned at first. I came in and didn't say anything. Why are you in such a hurry that you won't send me far away?
This is my daughter, otherwise. Lu Bu didn't know whether to be happy or angry. He pointed at Lin Mo and pointed his finger, and said coldly: "I will teach you a lesson later, you brat."
"Where are you going, father?" Lu Lingqi shouted.
"I?"
Lu Bu sneered, "You two still think of me as your father now?"
After saying that, she strode away. Lu Lingqi called out a few times symbolically, but of course she didn't really chase her out.
Then, Zhao'er also left quietly and wisely, leaving Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi alone in the entire compound.
This is not the first time that two people have been alone. In fact, there have been quite a few times.
However, she had never seen Lin Mo's eyes so hot, as if there was an ant crawling on him.
Lin Mo's psychological drama is also very satisfying. Seeing how beautiful his wife is, he can't help but be full of longing for the future.
"I'm right, the poetry festival is coming soon. Which one do you think will win?" Feeling that the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Lu Lingqi could only take the initiative to find a topic to break the situation.
"Are you still concerned about this matter?" Lin Mo was a little surprised.
"That day, Mr. Gongtai told his father that the family that won the first prize in the poetry competition would definitely become famous in the Thirteen Prefectures of Han Dynasty. Countless students from poor families would defect to it, and it might even trigger a struggle between aristocratic families." Lu Lingqi's serious analysis got up.
Seeing that Lu Lingqi was really interested, Lin Mo said: "Let's go over there and sit down and talk."
At this moment, he was not as honest as before, and directly took Lu Lingqi's hand, a cold touch came, and he could clearly feel that the jade hand was a little stiff due to nervousness.
"Then which one do you think will win?" Although he sat down, Lin Mo did not let go of Lu Lingqi's hand. He looked at her blushing cheeks. This feeling of refusing and welcoming made him smell the sour smell of love in his previous life. .
"have no idea."
Lu Lingqi's breathing was a little rapid, and then she added: "But Mr. Gongtai said that your move is unwise. No matter who the winner of the poem is, it will be harmful to us."
There is nothing wrong with what Chen Gong said. On the surface, this kind of poetry society is really serving the aristocratic families, so Chen Deng, Lu Su and Liu Ye strongly support it.
Because they all hope that the powerful family behind them can win the championship, so that they can crush the other party in one fell swoop.
In fact, they were not the only ones who had this idea. Because Shikui's winnings were extremely generous and the political influence behind them, many aristocratic families in Yingchuan and Jingzhou sent people.
But this is exactly the effect Lin Mo wants.
He smiled lightly and asked: "If I win the first prize, does Ling'er think it will still be harmful rather than helpful?"
"you?"
Lu Lingqi's beautiful eyes widened, with disbelief written on her face, "Although you are extremely resourceful, poetry and poetry are no better than strategizing. Why didn't I know that you also understand poetry?"
Do I have to tell you that I have learned the Tathagata Divine Palm? Lin Mo chuckled, "It doesn't matter what you say. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for your husband."
Lin Mo became shameless and his names became extremely ambiguous.
If others said this, Lu Lingqi would definitely think that the other party was being arrogant, but after seeing Lin Mo's calm beginning and ending with mixed feelings countless times, she felt that he must be sure, so she joked:
"Can you improvise a bit?"
"Okay, you can come up with the questions."
Wenzhao Gong, who can’t do it? It’s a must-have for time travellers.
Lu Lingqi lowered her head and thought for a while, her eyes suddenly shone with light, and she said with a wicked smile: "Couplets have become popular in the market recently. I wonder if you can improvise a couplet."
couplet?
Um, Ling'er, you're a bit out of line.
However, it was still not a problem for me. Lin Mo moistened his throat and raised his head and said: "One keel bone produces essence to quench thirst, two pieces of abalone are plowed deeply to relieve fire, batch it horizontally, and it will be effective in one day."
After saying that, Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said coquettishly, "How are you, Ling'er?"
Lu Lingqi is different from Lu Bu. Lu Bu only started to read and write when he went to serve under Ding Yuan. However, Lu Lingqi has been taught by her husband since she was a child. Not only is she talented in literature, but she still knows some poetry and songs.
But the couplet thing was just emerging, and Lu Lingqi didn't understand it. She even just knew that it was a pair with horizontal strokes, so naturally she didn't know how to appreciate it.
The sudden mention was just to see Lin Mo make a fool of himself, lest he be too unscrupulous today.
In the end, he was right.
I don’t understand. I really don’t understand. Anyway, it’s pretty neat.
However, the keel should refer to the keel waterwheel. He used his own invention as the content and was naturally improvised. Lu Lingqi immediately had great confidence in Lin Mo.
"Then if you win the title of Poetry, Ziyang Academy will be able to welcome a large number of poor students, and my father will no longer have a headache in employing people to perform his duties!" Lu Lingqi was so excited that she also held her other hand. Lin Mo.
"That's right, your husband is ready to take action." Men are all virtuous. They are low-key and humble outside and want to make themselves into a humble gentleman with great virtues. Once they flirt with a girl, oh, that person will instantly become a civil and military person. The best of both worlds.
Lu Lingqi did not refute Lin Mo's self-promotion, and she agreed with it in her heart. She liked to see the confident and sunny Lin Mo. As a man, you can never say no.
"I haven't practiced archery for a few days. Ling'er just happened to teach me today." After ending the topic, Lin Mo suggested.
"But how can I teach you when I'm dressed like this today?"
How can I practice archery if you don’t dress like this? Lin Mo waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You and I are getting married soon. Why bother to stick to the details? Come on, come on."
Regardless of whether she agreed or not, Lin Mo pulled her aside and walked aside.
Lin Mo strung up the bow and stringed it. His movements were a bit awkward and obviously not a standard posture. Lu Lingqi looked at her and shook her head, "It seems you haven't practiced for too long."
So she stepped forward and corrected Lin Mo's movements. Under Lin Mo's guidance, she got closer unknowingly.
The distance was so close that Lin Mo could even clearly feel the collision between Lu Lingqi's orchid aura and the proud mountain front.
If it weren't for the fact that etiquette was so important in this era and people would never break up until they got married, Lin Mo would probably have resisted.
As the days passed, the poetry festival was about to begin, and students from various aristocratic families and poor families began to gather in Pengcheng. For a time, Pengcheng was crowded with people, and even the inn was full of business. The shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. It's a poetry meeting.
As for wine shops and romantic places suitable for sour literati to recite poems and write poems, they are even more overcrowded.
After some investigation, Lin Mo was even a little worried that the poetry meeting held in Ziyang Academy would not be able to accommodate these people.
Just the arrivals of the big families were so exaggerated that it shocked people, including the four major families in Jiangdong, the four major families in Jingzhou, the Yingchuan faction, the Sima family in Wen County, the Yang family in Hongnong, and the scholars from the Northern Kingdom.
It seems that except for Jiaozhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou and Youzhou, all the big families in other states have sent people here.
Lin Mo knew that it wasn't that these five states didn't want people to come, but that the distance was too far.
With so many people coming, the arrangements made by the aristocratic families alone are enough to fill the Ziyang Academy, and there is no room for the poor students.
And these are all respectable people. You can't go to the school grounds instead. There is room for everyone, but they can't afford to lose face. You have to think of a way to do this.
Er Qiao also arrived. After being escorted to the post house by the Qiao family, Lin Mo wanted to see her beauty. Unfortunately, due to their awkward status, it was impossible for them to meet in private.
On the day they entered the city, the two sisters stole the show. Not only did they block the entire street, but even some young men from big families couldn't help but watch.
In fact, nothing could be seen. They sat in the carriage and did not get out from the beginning to the end.
However, it is obvious how attractive the reputation of Lujiang Erqiao is.
It is indeed wise to tie them up.
In Dongcheng, in a scholar's wine shop, a man of twenty-six or seventeen years old, wearing a ge turban cloth robe, soap-banded black shoes, and a washed white Confucian robe, with handsome eyebrows and regular features, sat in a corner of the wine shop and drank quietly. Drink and listen to the discussions around you.
Basically, they all expressed their opinions on this poetry meeting, and some of the young masters who made wild remarks expressed that they were sure to win the first prize.
After staying for a while, he got a little tired of it. When he was about to get up and leave, someone suddenly sat down opposite him.
The man was wearing a brown Confucian robe. He was nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and a raised nose, a dark face and a short beard. He had a strange appearance and was not ordinary ugly. He looked at him with a smile, shook the wine gourd in his hand, and said, "Yuan Zhi. , I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Xu Shu was also stunned, his brows were filled with joy, and he said in surprise: "Shi Yuan! Hahaha, we are really destined. Are you here to join in the fun?"
Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi.
Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan.
One is from a poor family in Yingchuan. In his early years, he killed people in the city for revenge. Later, in order not to offend his mother, he changed his name from Xu Fu to Xu Shu. People come and go in close proximity.
One is the Pang family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou. Needless to say, it has a large background and rich heritage. Recently, it was commented by Sima Hui that no one in Nanzhou can compare with Pang Tong, and his reputation is at its peak.
The two met in Jingzhou.
The relationship is not very deep, after all, the time of acquaintance is still short, but these rotten scholars have always liked the relationship between gentlemen to be as light as water, so it can be regarded as a simple and deep relationship.
"Why, does Yuan Zhi want to be chosen as the best poet, or does he want to take the opportunity to enter Lu Bu's house so that he can show off his talents?" Pang Tong asked jokingly.
Xu Shu smiled and asked, "I wonder if Shi Yuan is here for Shi Kui or to become Lu Bu's military advisor?"
Hearing this, Pang Tong laughed disdainfully. It was because there were so many people in the wine shop and the chatter was so loud that no one noticed the laughter. He sneered, "Lu Bu, there's no telling whether he can hold Xuzhou or not." , if I spread my wings, I can compare to the phoenix in the sky, and I am afraid that his magnanimity may not be able to accommodate me."
In fact, a few years ago, Pang Tong only boasted of his talent and high self-esteem, and his reputation was still supported by the Pang family behind him.
When Sima Hui praised him and received the title of Phoenix Child from Duke Pang De, he began to feel like a phoenix when he spoke.
Pang Tong opened the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, burped, and continued: "As for Shikui, I'm not interested. I just want to see why Lin Yunwen, who is known as a great talent, did such a thing. Mindless thing.”
Xu Shu smiled and shook his head, "Shi Yuan, you are still so outspoken. I am not here for some Shigui, but Marquis Lanling's move seems to have opened a door for the poor people in the world. This is something I agree with. Like you, you also want to come and see what kind of person he is.
Rumor has it that Lu Bu went from being at the end of his life to now being able to travel to two states, with strong soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass, all thanks to him. Lu Bu said that he had talents in the world.
To tell you the truth, I quite like him. "
Pang Tong sneered, "There are too many people in the world who cheat and steal their reputation. We just want to see what kind of conspiracy is buried behind this poetry meeting."
Through the world? I, Fengxiao, am the one who deserves it!
In fact, Pang Tong was a little arrogant due to his personality, but his attitude was understandable.
The military generals still have the idea that Lu Bu, who has already become famous all over the world and cannot be climbed, is only worthy of his reputation, let alone the scholars who look down upon him as a scholar?
The more people they come into contact with, the more they understand that most of the time, the stories passed down by word of mouth are myths infused with personal color.
How can a truly astonishing prodigy roam the streets?
How could it be such a coincidence that you recognized a son-in-law by mistake?
But he came from a humble background?
Don’t believe it, absolutely don’t believe it!
Apart from anything else, this poetry meeting alone made him look stupid and stupid.
"So, you want to defect to Lu Bu?" Pang Tong asked.
"Can't talk about it."
Xu Shu was still smiling, "Let's take a look at the quality of their son-in-law."
Pang Tong nodded. He had no intention of joining Lu Bu anyway and looked down upon him.
As for Xu Shu, I guess his good impression of Lu Bu came from this poetry meeting.
After all, he came from a poor family, which is understandable.
Meeting an acquaintance and the scale of this poetry gathering far exceeded Pang Tong's imagination, which made him look forward to it even more.
"Is Kong Ming here?" Xu Shu turned around and asked.
Pang Tong shook his head, "He is from Langya, Xuzhou. He may be worried that once he comes here, he will be forced to stay by Lu Bu. I think he thinks too much."
Xu Shu smiled and said nothing. He knew that it was not Zhuge Liang that Pang Tong despised, but Lu Bu.
