Chapter 62 The first meeting with Lu Mengzheng
When he went down the mountain, Sun Yue had no awe of the academy at all, and he was carrying it on the back of Hei Si Niang.
After inquiring from many sources, I finally arrived at the village where Lu Mengzheng was.
"Hello, is this Lu Mengzheng's home?"
In the room, a woman in her thirties who was doing needlework raised her head with a smile. When she saw Sun Yue and Cao Jun's age, she couldn't help but say in surprise: "You are..."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "We are his friends, so there is something to do with him."
The woman was secretly surprised. After all, Sun Yue and Cao Jun were too young. As for the fourth sister of Hei, the woman had a lot of eyesight and recognized the big and small kings.
"Dalang has gone to work in the fields. I'll call him back now. Let's sit down, sit down, there is no tea at home. Come and eat a cold melon. It's so sweet, it's grown by my own home."
As he said that, the woman lifted a watermelon from the well water. Sister Hei Si hurried over to help with her under the gesture of Sun Yue. After a while, she cut it open and took a bite and felt cool.
There is no doubt that the woman was Lu Mengzheng's mother. While eating watermelon, Sun Yue noticed that there were two scriptures placed on the desk at Lu Mengzheng's home, namely the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius, and couldn't help but smile.
After a while, Lu Meng was back, wearing only a short jacket, but was already wet with sweat, and there was still a lot of yellow mud on his feet. He looked quite embarrassed, no longer as casual as when he saw the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but Sun Yue had to admit that although this guy was so embarrassed, he was still so handsome.
"It's you?"
"Brother Lu actually remembers us?"
"Remember, I am a good-minded person. I will never forget it once I have met you. Is Miss Cao asking you to come?"
While talking, Lu Mengzheng poured a bowl of cold water from the water tank and poured it into his stomach. He seemed to have not seen the cold watermelon cut on the table.
"Mom, it's hot, you can go to the inner room to rest first. I'll entertain my two friends."
Lu's mother glanced at Sun Yue and Cao Jun with a little meaningful look, nodded, and avoided without saying anything.
Sun Yue looked at the filial piety on the table and smiled, "I heard from my sister that Brother Lu is the top scholar, why do you like the filial piety? But you want to take the exam for this year's children's examination?"
After all, the Six Classics that Tong Ju examined are different from the Nine Classics, and relatively more emphasis is placed on the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius. As for the Book of Rites in the Spring and Autumn Period, the requirements are not high. After all, it is not the Ming Classics, but this is not the Jinshi, so Sun Yue asked this question.
"Yes, I hug you at the battle and storm it made Brother Sun laugh."
"I don't know that Brother Lu this year..."
Lu Mengzheng said frankly: "Ah, it's the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, so I'm just going to be a traitor. My family is poor and I rely on my orphans to take care of you. I can get twenty pieces of silk when I pass the imperial examination. This may not be anything to you, but it is very important to me. Miss Cao said that Brother Sun is also going to take the exam for this year's Tong Ju?"
"Yes, I'm destined to be with Brother Lu."
Lu Mengzheng nodded, his eyes fell on the lantern in the hands of Sister Hei Si, and said, "Is Miss Cao who asked you to exchange the lanterns for you?"
Sun Yue nodded, "Not bad."
Lu Mengzheng didn't say anything, but naturally picked up the lantern and said, "Okay."
Sun Yue hadn't said anything, but Cao Jun stopped doing it. He was so angry that he slapped his martial arts practice in the past two days. He slapped the table and said angrily: "You scholar, it's so unreasonable. My sister cried at home all day long, but you are so heartless, can you think there is no one in our family?"
Lu Mengzheng sighed when he heard this, and also flipped out a lamp from the corner of his house. It was the five-colored glass lamp and put it on the table and said, "The colorful glass, light white stone jade, is not worthy. Please return this lamp to the two brothers."
Sun Yue asked in confusion: "Didn't you say, have you sold it?"
Lu Mengzheng smiled bitterly and said, "The villagers in the fields are shallow and do not know the treasures. They only sold more than three guan and bought some books. They planned to propose marriage after they won the Tong Ju. They only realized the preciousness of this lamp some time ago, and they redeemed it again. They disappointed Miss Cao's wishes. I am really ashamed."
Sun Yue picked up the glass lamp, looked at it and turned it around twice, and smiled and said, "I am blunt, given Brother Lu's family background, even three guan is not a decimal, to be honest, I'm just here to deliver the lamp today, but I never thought I would take another lamp back."
"Brother Sun said this but underestimated me. I and Miss Cao were in love with each other. She had also taken some money, but I had never received it."
Sun Yue nodded, handed the glass lamp to Sister Hei Si, and said, "Okay, then we'll go back, but Brother Lu, you said you have the ability to remember everything you have, don't you know if it's true or false?"
Lu Mengzheng was stunned and nodded, "This is true."
"If Brother Lu really has such ability, I have a teacher who is writing Tanghui's request at the order of the official family, but I lack a boy to serve. I think Brother Lu is a talented person. If he is interested, I can help recommend it."
Lu Mengzheng was shocked and asked solemnly: "I dare to ask Master Ling is..."
"Sikong, Wang Pu."
"Ah! Brother Sun is actually Wang Xianggong's high-level football?"
"Brother Lu, I see that you live in a humble room, but you have the ambition to be strong. It will be a matter of time before the imperial examination and high school will be a matter of time. If my sister is not married yet, I don't know..."
Lu Mengzheng said solemnly: "Of course, you will not marry me if you are right or wrong."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "Then you have to hold on tight."
……………………
After leaving the door, Cao Jun asked in confusion: "Brother Yue, did we come here this time, didn't we help my sister to make peace? Why did you ask me to tell me the difference? If you don't like him, why should you introduce Wang Xianggong and him?"
Sun Yue glanced at the colorful glass lamp and sighed, "He was right, colorful glass, pure stone jade, is not worthy of it."
Cao Jun said: "I don't understand. Our family doesn't want his money. Didn't you say he is talented?"
Sun Yue smiled and touched Cao Jun's head and said, "When you get older, you will understand."
As he said that, Sun Yue ordered Hei Si Niang to say, "Let's go, go home."
I thought to myself, Lu Mengzheng, it’s interesting.
Actually, when he came this time, Sun Yue really planned to say that he was with them, but he had always thought that Lu Meng was studying at Songyang Academy. If that was the case, it would not matter if his family was a little different. But when he came, he realized that the gap was really too big. Unless he was willing to marry into a marriage, there would be no chance for the two of them. Will Lu Mengzheng marry into a marriage? Obviously, he would not.
Even after a thousand years, family background is a threshold that cannot be escaped. A slightly more mature woman will not look for a phoenix man, let alone this feudal society? In the world of emotions, the most painful thing is that the three words are not worthy of. Both of them are in pain. Instead of entangling, it is better to stop being clean. To be honest, Lu Mengzheng's expression is much more mature than he imagined.
Sun Yue had a little impression of Lu Mengzheng's family background. It should be said that he was not a naturally poor family, otherwise he would not have the chance to read and read. His biological father should have a little money. Lu Mengzheng should have also studied when he was young, but a strange thing happened to their family: he favored his concubine and killed his wife.
In feudal society, it was a strange story that mistresses went to power. The young Lu Mengzheng lived with his mother since then. As for what happened later, there were no clear records in history books, but there were many versions circulating among the people. Some said that he grew up in a nunnery and read Buddhist scriptures every day, so he opened his mind. Others said that he fell into the water and was saved by a god. From then on, he passed on his magical powers. Anyway, they were all unreliable statements.
However, now it seems that Lu Mengzheng really has the intention of digging a wall to borrow light. At least his ambition is not inferior to others. He will definitely not doubt Lu Mengzheng's talent. You must know that Lu Mengzheng was the top scorer in history, and when Donghuamen was singing titles, he should only be in his early thirties, which is already young in the Jinshi.
Recommending him to Wang Pu is considered as leaving a live button between them. This guy can hear the top scorer by listening. If he can get Wang Pu's guidance, what if he gets it in his family's 20 years old? Then the two of them may not be completely out of the way.
