Chapter 0091 Lu House Birthday Banquet (3)
readx;
Zhang Xuan no longer wants to stay in the Lo Mansion. He has nothing to do with the Lo Mansion. What does Mr. Lu have to do with him after his birthday? Being with these snobbish people will only humiliate him for nothing. He quickly walked towards the gate. △Dingdian Novel, x.
But after walking a few steps, Zhang Xuan suddenly realized that Lu Qingyuan seemed to be greeting guests outside the gate. He saw him and probably could not leave again. After thinking about it, he turned back and headed towards the west gate.
He came in from the West Gate and still vaguely remembered the path back to the West Gate, but Zhang Xuan still underestimated the complex structure of the wealthy mansion. Even the servants in the mansion would accidentally get lost. What's more, his first time in Lu Mansion, almost all the doors were the same, and many pavilions and towers looked familiar.
Zhang Xuan walked around for a few times, but not only did not find the West Gate, but was getting further and further away from the West Gate. He walked past a unique diamond-shaped courtyard gate. In front of him was a small river, which was clear and winding, and there was a small bridge on the river.
Zhang Xuan walked across the small bridge and entered another courtyard gate. A pond appeared in front of him. The lotus leaves were lush, lotus flowers were about to bloom. The pond was surrounded by rockery, and on the other side was a long corridor.
Zhang Xuan scratched his head. He knew he was lost. The house was full of guests outside, but it was deserted. There was no one, and even the maid could not see it. He felt something was wrong. He was afraid that he had accidentally entered the inner house of Lu.
In fact, Zhang Xuan cannot be blamed for the layout of wealthy houses. There are rules to follow where the hall is, where the hall is set up, where the corridor is, and where the inner house is entered. Most of the guests' homes are like this, and no one will make mistakes. Therefore, although there is no sign, no one will rashly break into other people's inner houses. This is a kind of unspoken rule in the upper class.
Although Zhang Xuan had been in the Sui Dynasty for less than a year, there were similar rules in his era, such as when he was a guest, he could not enter his master's bedroom casually. When using the toilet, he could not use the inner toilet in the bedroom, etc., so Zhang Xuan also knew that he could not enter other people's back houses at will.
But the problem is that he does not understand the layout of wealthy families. He does not know that the diamond-shaped courtyard gate he passed by is actually the symbol of the back house, and the small river is the separation line between the inner and outer houses. Although he lives in Luo Cheng's mansion, he has never approached the back house of Luo Mansion.
Zhang Xuan turned around and was about to leave, but saw two girls walking slowly towards this side more than ten steps away. Zhang Xuan was startled and quickly took a step back and hid behind a rockery by the side of the road.
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan's heart pounded. He recognized that one of them was Lu Qing. After a few days, Lu Qing's pale face returned to a clear luster. Her black hair was inserted into her black hair, and her neck was as smooth as snow, extremely beautiful. She was still wearing a snow-white long skirt and red silk on her shoulders, making her look light and slim and charming.
However, there was a hint of indescribable melancholy hidden in her eyes, which was heartbreaking.
Another girl wore a two-phoenix golden hairpin on her head. She wore a yellow dress and had a slender figure and was weak. She had fair skin and a little lacking in body size. Zhang Xuan felt that she should be the one who likes Luo Cheng's Lu Yun.
Lu Yun sighed with a sigh, "Sister Qing, why did you say that my cousin ignored me? Is there something else in his heart?"
"You're thinking too much. Didn't your aunt say that? He has been engaged in martial arts practices for a while and has forgotten to eat and sleep. I guess when he talks to you, he is still thinking about how to practice martial arts."
"I don't understand what is good about practicing martial arts? Isn't it good to study? I've become rude all day long, and I'm not as gentle as being liked by people."
"Yunmei, a real man does not have to learn martial arts or practice martial arts, but whether he dares to stand up to protect his wife, children and parents. The children of the aristocratic families in the front hall are all powerless, but they only know how to talk. The danger is coming, I am afraid that they will run faster than anyone else. Yunmei, you don't understand what it feels like if someone can really protect you."
"Sister Qing, do you feel this way?"
Lu Qing smiled slightly, but did not answer her cousin's words. She pointed to a big rock in front of her, "My sister Yun, it's very quiet here, let's sit here!"
"good!"
Lu Yun took her cousin's hand and sat down in front of the rockery where Zhang Xuan was hiding. Zhang Xuan's heart was beating wildly. The distance between him and Lu Qing was so close that he was almost within reach. He felt a sense of indescribable warmth in his heart. Wasn't Lu Qing just talking about himself?
"Sister Qing, I heard that the head of the Cui family proposed to his uncle again. Is it true?"
"Don't mention this, I'm very upset!" Lu Qing said in disgustingly.
Lu Yun didn't know the real reason why her cousin was upset. She smiled and said, "Sister Qing, I actually think Cui Wenxiang is good, handsome and knowledgeable. Don't everyone say you are a handsome man?"
"Stop talking!"
Lu Qingteng stood up, with obvious displeasure in his tone, "I don't know anything about Cui Wenxiang, what does he have to do with me?"
Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and she said carefully for a while: "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Qing sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go back!"
The two continued along the path and gradually disappeared deep in the garden. Zhang Xuan's heart was heavy. Just now, Lu Yun said clearly that the head of the Cui family planned to marry Lu Qing to Cui Wenxiang, who was the leader of the children of the aristocratic family just now.
Zhang Xuan slowly clenched his fists, very well, he wanted to see if Cui Zhao could bear the pain of losing his son?
...........
Zhang Xuan came out of the back house and walked around in dismay for a few times, but unexpectedly found Ximen. He stood in front of the door and stopped. At this time, he felt a little unwilling to leave. Cui Wenxiang was in the Lou Mansion, but Zhang Xuan was leaving. Is this showing weakness or escaping?
At this moment, Luo Cheng and Lu Yuanqing came out of another door. Luo Cheng saw Zhang Xuan at a glance and shouted happily: "Brother-in-law, he is still here!"
The two rushed up, grabbed his arm from left to right, as if he ran away again, Lu Qingyuan apologized: "It's me that I shouldn't have left you alone, those guys, hey--"
"That's nothing. I won't bother with them, but I still have something to do. Why don't I come back another day..."
Before Zhang Xuan finished speaking, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know if you have anything to do? But it's really boring here. I won't stop you if you want to leave, but you can go with me to meet someone first."
"who?"
Luo Cheng smiled mysteriously, "Just come with me."
Zhang Xuan also found an excuse not to leave. He followed Luo Cheng to the East Courtyard. The East Courtyard covers an area of about ten acres. Although the place is not large, the environment is the most beautiful. The pavilions and towers are elegant and exquisite, the green trees form forests and clear waters are like mirrors, and the small bridges are gurgling. Every step is beautiful, which is amazing.
Because there were too many guests, the East Courtyard was designated as the VIP Courtyard, and all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court were temporarily resting here.
In a small hall, Lu Yi, the second-ranked figure of the Lu family, was chatting with several prominent generals. In addition to Yuwen Shu, there were also generals Yu Juluo and Lai Huer, and the deputy governor of Youzhou, Luo Yi, also accompanied him as the landlord.
At this time, Luo Cheng walked to his father and whispered a few times. Luo Yi smiled at Yu Juluo and said, "General Yu. He is here!"
Yu Juluo is over 50 years old, has a burly and tall figure, a big head, and her hair is scattered on her shoulders, like a lion, but his biggest characteristic is that his eyes have two pupils. It is rumored that his pupils are the appearance of the emperor, so Emperor Yang Guang doesn't like him very much.
However, Yu Juluo made great achievements in combat. He was the pillar of the Sui Dynasty, and Yuwen Shu pleaded for him. Therefore, although Yang Guang was not happy with him, he was still willing to use him and sent him to wipe out the rebellion in the Jiangnan area.
Yu Juluo was excited and hurriedly said, "Hurry and invite him in!"
Yuwen Shu next to him asked strangely: "Who is General Yu going to meet?"
"A guard from the Yan Prince's Mansion, I have something to ask him for."
Yuwen Shu sneered: "General Yu actually asked for a guard, so it would be better to ask me for help. What's the matter in the world that I can't do?"
"this......."
Yu Juluo didn't know what to say, so he had to smile vaguely and said, "He has something important to me."
Yuwen Shu was also surprised in his heart. What Yu Juluo wanted was that he actually asked for a guard, and he was the guard of the Yan Prince's Mansion.
He stood up and smiled, "You guys sit down first. I'll go to change my clothes and come back soon."
A maid led Yuwen Shu out of the back door. Soon, Zhang Xuan quickly walked to the lobby. He had heard Luo Cheng talk about the situation, and he was not panicked. He stepped forward and bowed deeply, "I will see you all the generals."
Yu Juluo quickly smiled and said, "Please exempt the gift from Guard Zhang. Yu has something to ask for!"
Zhang Xuan felt a little uneasy. Could it be that it was for the Ziyang Ji? Ziyang Ji and Wansuitong are martial arts of the same clan and origin, both originated from Ziyang Temple in Zhongnan Mountain.
Moreover, Zhang Xuan has always suspected that Shi Wansui was practicing the Bluestone Classic back then, so he started practicing martial arts after he was thirty years old and became the world's number one strong general.
Yu Juluo and Shi Wansui were closely related and obtained the Wansui method. He was also the master of Yuwen Chengdu and passed the Way to Yuwen Chengdu.
If the news of having the Ziyang Ji Scroll spread, the person who is most interested is Yu Ju Luo. Of course, Luo Cheng would not say it, but he was afraid that Luo Yi would miss it inadvertently.
But now that things have come to this point, it is useless for Zhang Xuan to avoid it. He gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder what General Yu has to do to help him with a humble position?"
"I heard that Guard Zhang has purple insect jade pupa in his hand. Can you give me five?"
Zhang Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he wanted the purple insect jade pupa, and only five of them were needed, so there should be no big problem.
Lai Hu'er next to him asked curiously: "General Yu, what is the purple insect jade pupa?"
Yu Juluo sighed and said, "The Purple Insect Jade Puppet is an ice worm produced in the extreme north. It can adjust human meridians and is very helpful for adults to practice the art of gathering strength. Shi Wansui used it to practice Wansui Tong. I planned to let my eldest son start practicing martial arts, but this Purple Insect Jade Puppet is missing. I haven't found it for more than a year. I just heard from Mr. Luo that Zhang had it, so I could only ask for shamelessness."
Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly jumped. Shi Wansui's practice of the Bluestone Sutra, otherwise what he would have done with the purple insect jade pupa?
At this time, Yu Juluo looked at Zhang Xuan with anticipation, "How is it, is Mr. Zhang willing to help Yu?"
Lai Huer next to him also felt moved. Although his second son Lai Yuan practiced martial arts since childhood, he had only had one breakthrough in his strength and low martial arts skills. This was always a regret in his heart. If this purple insect jade pupa really had the effect of adjusting the meridians as Yu Juluo said, he could also let his son try it again.
But when he asked at this time, he was a little bit like he followed the crowd, which made him very greedy and came to Hu'er to be extremely moved, but he didn't know how to speak.
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly and said, "General Yu has an order, how dare Zhang Xuan refuse to obey?"
"So it's you!"
Yuwen Shu appeared at the door, his face full of anger. It turned out that the guard of King Yan that Yu Juluo was going to meet was Zhang Xuan.
Yuwen Shu was almost sentenced to death by Emperor Yang Guang for offering Yang Xuangan's fake head. This incident became a pain in his heart and made him feel resentful.
There is also the Tiansi Pavilion incident, where his twelve grandpas died tragically. Although Luo Shixin killed people, Yuwen Shu always put hatred on Zhang Xuan. If Zhang Xuan had not been Yang Qing's man, he would have killed him long ago.
But Yuwen Shu didn't expect that he actually met Zhang Xuan in the Lu Mansion. He could no longer control his anger and drew his sword and yelled, "Bitch, I want to kill you!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
