Chapter 28 First Meeting with Lu Zhaolin
In the fifth year of Yonghui (654 AD), the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sixth hour of the lunar calendar.
In Rang County, Dengzhou, Shannan Road (Rangcheng, Nanyang City, Henan Province), Wu Kang and his group were thirty-one, and they rushed to the southeast. They had to return to Wuzhou for the New Year. The official road was dusty and the earth was trembling. Today it was Laba, and the journey was still 1,000 kilometers.
Except for the thousands of miles of horses, the rest are all slow horses, and seventy kilometers is the limit, otherwise people will be exhausted. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take half a month to return to Wu, and it will definitely be the end of the year. With the heart of returning home, Wu Kang is anxious. Everything is good in the Tang Dynasty, but the transportation is too slow and the space is too tormenting.
There is nothing to complain about. It is a blessing in disgrace to be able to return to Wuzhou to celebrate the New Year. On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, I accompanied my love girl to visit Dongshi City. I was talking and laughing, but I was intercepted by General Hou Wei. President Li Jiu invited me. I went to Hanyuan Palace and learned the whole story. I almost got angry.
Jiannan Road Zhuzhou (Xichang City, Sichuan Province), Hu Cong, Xianyang, Che Lu and other "barbarians" rebelled. The General of Youxiaowei, the General of the Marines of the Ruzhou Road, Cao Jishu was in charge of the overall situation of suppressing the rebellion, and the official army won consecutive battles. Seeing that the achievements were completed, the barbarians hid Wanlin Mountain, where the poisonous miasma was everywhere.
Cao Jishu opened a road and sought help from 800 miles apart, asking the court to send the Imperial Medical Office to support him. Lao Pangjie Chu Suiliang proposed that Wu Kang be the imperial envoy and lead the Imperial Medical Office to support Wuzhou. The reason was very strong, and the Wu governor Zhuji fought against the plague and had rich experience in his work.
Han Yuan came to Ji to promote the fire and even threw out rumors that Wu Kang was protected by Hua Tuo and that the plague and miasma could not be approached. What's even more ridiculous is that Li Jiu was so funny that he actually agreed to this suggestion. Wu Kang was amused and cried. I am not a doctor and I don't have any poisons to invade buffs.
Those old people were trying to cheat me, and they were so great that they were so much resentful. They didn't dare to refuse directly, so they agreed, and while the imperial edict was not issued, they asked for help from "soft rice". Mei Niang blew the wind beside her pillow, Xincheng was indirect, and Li Jiu changed his mind.
Chang'an City can no longer stay there, and they can kill the old home court. So they bid farewell to the Wu family, make Xincheng happy, and clean up the fine and soft to escape. This year is unlucky enough, the rat disaster, the plague and the land tax. They are busy all year round, and they completely neglect their wives and daughters.
If Cui Xiaoqing is a lustful girl, if she can’t stand the loneliness, she will put a few hats on me and ask for advice? So she has to go home, even if it rains all over the world, she can’t wait until the time is delayed on the road, and she will return to Wuzhou in the third year of the Chinese New Year.
However, the sky was against the will of others. Not far from Rang County, I found an abnormality from the corner of my eyes. In the distance, someone hung his own branches of jujube trees, and his body kept kicking. He could not wait for death, take a bow, take an arrow, aim, fly the arrow, break the rope, and fall, the whole journey took less than ten seconds.
He hung his back with his fingers on his palm, and signaled the horse team to stop. The security guard discovered the situation and without waiting for the boss's instructions, Qian Shun rode his horse over. Looking at the scene of the incident, he looked at the girl's figure, which was a bit interesting. The young woman could even think of her calves, and she would abandon her calves.
The first one was a slander, Wu Kang swears, is it so difficult to go home? Crying came from over there, the girl struggled violently, and wanted to hang up again. After a few minutes of stalemate, Qian Shun lost patience and hugged her directly. The girl was still struggling, Qian Shun changed her posture and carried it directly onto her left shoulder.
After a few crisp sounds, the girl calmed down, the world became quiet, and the security guards hilarious. Wu Kang also grinned, and there was no heavy hand, and there were acupoints on his butt. The girl was a little wronged. They were all rough men and had no habit of cherishing the fragrance and jade.
Shunzi came to the front, put down the girl on her shoulders, and the girl covered her mouth and sobbed. Wu Kang looked kind and expressed his apology first, then asked about the situation. However, she just cried and said nothing. After she finished her patience, she directly raised her face: "I'm asking you what you are, where is your home? I'll send you back, and wait for me to leave, and you'll die."
The words were so ugly, the crying sound was even worse, and it was unstoppable. It felt a bit too much, and Wu Kang couldn't help but curl his lips and gave Qian Shun a wink. Qian Shun also curled his lips and comforted him softly: "Little lady, don't cry, the boss is a good person, but there are a few days a month... Do you have any grievances? Tell us that the boss is the imperial official."
It seemed to be effective, but her emotions gradually stabilized and she slowly raised her head. She was in her 28th year, with a 70-minute beauty, with pear blossoms in rain, which made people feel pity. Her heart was soft and she couldn't help but touch her. She was about to ask questions, but when she saw Qian Shun's expression was wrong, she was suspected of being tender and tender.
Wu Kang didn't like to be condescendingly, jumped off the horse sideways, and the brothers dismounted. The woman was very scared and subconsciously approached Qian Shun, hugged her chest with her hands nervously. She was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and confirmed that she had no malice, but was struggling for a moment, and finally opened the conversation.
As expected, the infatuated woman was unfaithful and a bloody drama for thousands of years. She is from Rang County, lives in Xing'anfang, Dengzhou City, and her father is the owner of Miji Grain Store. About five months ago, Mi Niang took a car to enjoy the flowers in the Lotus Pond in Dongcheng. When she was appreciating the lotus at close range, she didn't pay attention to her feet and fell into the pond.
The beauty was saved by a hero, and a white-faced scholar jumped to the water to save her. The little white-faced face was elegant, gentle and elegant, and full of knowledge. He completely won the hearts of his heart. After a while, he was in love with his husband and wife, and talked about marriage.
The little white face is very gentle and considerate to her. The two of them mixed oil in their honey. Until half a month ago, the girl became pregnant and suffering came. The little white face refused to recognize others, let alone come to propose marriage, and directly broke off his kindness. Mi Niangzi was sad and asked him why, and got a desperate answer: Just having fun, are you still taking it seriously?
The standard scumbag, Wu Kang commented: "Miss Mi lives together before marriage, and it is understandable. But you need to have a degree and take safety measures to prevent human life. Now, you can't blame others for your stupidity."
This is not human words. Mi Madam cried again, Qian Shun persuaded Wu Kang to shut up again. The next thing was even more tragic. After the incident broke, Boss Mi was furious and blamed her for being unpredictable. She went to the little girl to argue, and was directly bombarded and then beaten out.
He has a big background and works in the governor's office, so the merchants can't afford to offend him. Boss Mi has no choice but to do anything and can handle his daughter's marriage and get married quickly. He is not upset. The Mi family is a wealthy family in Dengzhou. The news of marriage is heard, and the matchmaker breaks the threshold. When he learned that he was pregnant, the matchmaker left without saying a word.
Wu Kang commented again: "You and your father do not deceive and conceal, but they are also trustworthy. However, this situation is rare. Take me as an example. Although you don't care about that film... you don't care about chastity, but you care about pregnancy unless you really like it."
Qian Shun interrupted: "It's hard for us to help you. That bastard has a bad character but does not violate the law. You and I live together in love. As long as both parties have not got married, the law will not interfere. Otherwise, we will send you back and you will take down the child..."
I can't continue to say it anymore. Wu Kang looked at him. With the current medical conditions, abortion will be fatal. I really can't help it. Even if I'm going to be absent from the law, I can only deal with it in Dengzhou. It's not my turn to interfere.
Wu Kang sighed lightly and advised him with kind words: "There is no other way now. Be born. Those who love you will accept it. Don't seek death or death. That scumbag is not worthy. Don't forget it. There is no grass everywhere in the world, why bother to love a flower alone."
The crying suddenly broke out, and accompanied by her crying, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and everyone frowned. Yesterday, the scumbag came to the door, not to change her mind, but to deliberately disgust the person. The scumbag proposed to take her as her concubine, and Boss Mi was so angry that she vomited blood and picked up the broom and beat him.
The scumbag cursed, and Boss Mi was furious and took his anger out of Mi's house. What kind of evil did this cause? Mi's house was homeless and felt as if he was dead in the jujube forest. He decided to end his life. He stood on the Hu bench for a long time and finally kicked the wooden bench down.
It happened to be a book, and the horse team happened to pass by, and Wu Kang shot the hanging rope. The brothers were excited. The scumbag was not a good thing. They first talked about marriage and then abandoned them all the time, and wanted to take her as a concubine. Isn’t this a pest?
Wu Kang also looked stern and decided to deal with the scumbag: "It's a fate to meet. The law cannot cure him. I will help you get angry and break his three legs. Who is his surname, where is his home, where is his favorite, and where is he likes to go, and come quickly."
The brothers shook the flag and shouted, all of whom were eager to try, and they liked to beat the young man the most. Mi Madam had been struggling for a long time, and under Qian Shun's guidance, she finally told the message.
Wu Kang immediately ordered: "Brothers, remember, Daqingfang, the southeast corner of the city. Scare him out, put it in a sack, and call me to death. Remember the name, Lu Zhaolin, and his name is Shengzhi, don't call the wrong person... Wait a minute... Lu Zhaolin?"
I couldn't help but be confused on the spot. Is it the same person one of the four heroes in the early Tang Dynasty? While I was in a turmoil, Mi Niangzi said: Forget it, he was from the Lu family of Fanyang and was a secretary of the governor's office. The governor was King Deng, and he valued him very much. He once said to others at a literary meeting, "This is my best friend."
Wu Kang sneered at it, saying this is not embarrassing. Don’t criticize Sima Xiangru. If you talk about literary literacy, Lu Zhaolin and Sima Xiangru are indeed half a dozen. But Sima Xiangru, wealthy and noble, never forget his wife, is consistent with Zhuo Wenjun, and is praised for a thousand years, and it will be a few streets.
If you recall the history books carefully, you can basically confirm that it is Lu Zhaolin. King Deng is named Li Yuanyu, Li Yuan's seventeenth son, and Li Jiu's uncle. He has always lived in Dengzhou and served as the governor of Dengzhou for five times. He has collected countless books in his family.
That is, this year, Lu Zhaolin went to the palace of Deng and was ordered to make a dictionary and take the opportunity to read a lot of books. The so-called dictionary means the aides sent by the court when the kings went on a mission to other places and sent by the court. The name is the dictionary and documentary, but in fact it monitors the kings and has great power.
By the time of Li Er, his power was greatly weakened and he had no responsibility for supervision and could only take charge of the documents. Lu Zhaolin became famous since then. A few years later, he was transferred to Shuzhong and became the commander of a certain state. The unfaithful Shu girl Guo was known by Luo Binwang and wrote "The Romantic Reply to the Lu Zhaolin". Lao Luo stood up for Guo and denounced him as his fickleness and love other people.
Wu Kang thought that he could not thug when he didn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, but Li Yuanyu's face. He could not stop there and decided to leave it to Lao Luo for treatment. With today's materials, plus his jealousy of evil... "The Romantic Reply to Mishi Lu Zhaolin" must have been released, and it is more lethal than the bitterness of skin.
After thinking about it, he said lightly: "As the saying goes, help people to the end, and send Buddha to the West. I will send you home, and I will advise your elders to be a peacemaker for you. A woman who is pregnant with Liujia will definitely die if she has no family protection."
Mi Niang thanked her repeatedly, but she really had nowhere to go. Qian Shun was very attentive, ran to the jujube forest, brought her to hang a stool, placed her next to the horse, and helped her get on the horse. Then he led the reins, followed the Doudeng, and turned around and returned to Dengzhou City.
Wu Kang looked back frequently and realized that Qian Shun was different. What did this kid want to do? About three months ago, his wife passed away due to illness and left three children. Everyone in Wuzhou knew that he was chasing me and my right-hand man. The matchmaker who went to his house in advance also kicked the threshold and was politely declined.
I have advised him to re-string several times, no matter whose daughter he likes, the boss will protect you from the media. But he always makes excuses and cannot refute it. He thinks that his wife will die, and he will talk about it later. The situation is not right now, and he has an illusion in his heart that he has a good impression of Mi Niangzi.
I don't want to take over, right? This is not good, brother, Wu Kang is very confused. When he came to the Mi House in Dengzhou City, the servant didn't go in to report when he saw his wife coming back, and he was arguing about it. He came to the main hall and heard the chaos inside, as if he was arguing.
Suddenly, I heard a hoarse cough, and the living room was silent in an instant, and the hoarse voice sounded again: "I say to Manager Qian, I listen to my advice and let you enter the Lu family. You are the ones who are promoted to Lu family. I am also the one who is the king's dictionary. The future is unlimited."
Wu Kang sneered. This Deng Wang Li Yuanyu did value Lu Zhaolin and came to mediate himself. But you have misunderstood. Lu Zhaolin's biggest official position was from the county magistrate under the eighth rank. A small official with sesame and mung beans. Finally, he drowned himself...
I felt like my waist was touched, and when I saw Qian Shun's gesture, I was stunned on the spot. The turtle looked at Mung Bean, and he really looked at him. Are you crazy?
After asking again and again, Qian Shun nodded again and again, he was helpless. Looking back on his previous life, he had this kind of virtue: even though he knew that Goddess Bright Moon was pregnant, he insisted on engaging in the evidence, and almost angered my father to death.
I shook my head helplessly, I'll help you with it and signaled to the servant to inform you. In less than half a minute, a short and fat man ran out, which was Mi Niangzi's father. This man had a blushing face and thick neck. When he saw the people in the yard, he realized it was not easy and quickly gathered his emotions.
Just as he was about to salute, a few more people came out, and the atmosphere was silent. The middle-aged man in the lead, wearing a purple dress, with his hands on his back, and was full of books. He was King Deng and Li Yuanyu. The young man with white face behind him had a straight facial features and a happy face. He looked about twenty years old and gentle and elegant, he should be Lu Zhaolin.
Wu Kang took two steps forward, put on a gentle smile, and saluted King Zheng: "I'm the surname Wu and his name is Kang, and my name is changed to the name of Cao. I'm the official appointed as the governor of Wuzhou. Please forgive me. My father-in-law is the governor of Dengzhou and the seventeenth king of Emperor Gaozu?"
Everyone was stunned, Boss Mi was confused, and Lu Zhaolin despised him. Li Yuanyu thought for a moment and knew it clearly. He first called "Governor of Dengzhou" and then called the Seventeenth King. The purpose was to convey to me that at the critical moment, we are at the same level and don't care that you are King Deng.
Li Yuanyuhun didn't care. He had heard of Wu Kang, so he stepped forward to help him: "You don't need to be polite. I have heard of you. Whether it is military or political affairs, you will handle it in an orderly manner. Only poetry and prose need to be improved, haha..."
This is very embarrassing. Is the Toad's "Da Ming Lake" circulated so widely? This is the reason for Lu Zhaolin's contempt. However, it cannot be refuted. People have the qualifications to despise me. As for calling me "nephew", it makes sense. I am Mei Niang's cousin, and call him uncle by generation.
Wu Kang was covered in spring breeze and began to blew each other in business: "What my uncle taught is that Wu Kang is ashamed. Compared with you, it is a difference between poetry and prose. My sister once taught me that if I could have 10% of my poetry and prose, she would go to Wenqu Temple to burn incense."
Li Yuanyu laughed loudly and was scratched to the point of itch: "Zhaoyi praised me, I am ashamed of being accused of being. But my nephew, since I have passed by Dengzhou, I have chosen not to enter the house. I can't argue. In this way, I can't enter the house of my nephew even if I go to Wuzhou."
This is a troublemaker, and Wu Kang quit the blame: "My uncle was joking, that's not what he meant. It's more than two thousand miles away from Wuzhou. If it weren't for the private affairs of his subordinates, he wouldn't have come here. I'm celebrating the New Year soon, and I must return to Wu quickly and have my family and members."
Li Yuanyu did not comment, looked at the shopkeeper Mi, looked at Mi Niangzi, and pretended to be puzzled: "I listened to my nephew's intentions and took a detour to Dengzhou for the private affairs of his subordinates. I don't understand, is there someone in this state who serves under his nephew?"
Wu Kang pulled Qian Shun and stared at him and said lies: "This is my right-hand man. I came to Dengzhou to visit friends a few years ago, but unfortunately my friend moved away. In depressed and sad, I met Niang Mi who was on a trip. I glanced at him and was shocked. When I returned to Wuzhou, I was obsessed with it all day long. I knew the situation, so I wanted to make a match, but I was busy with official duties and was delayed."
The scene was silent, Qian Shun was stunned, and she was very sensible, and she couldn't help but want to believe it. Li Yuanyu and Lu Zhaolin had a weird expression; Boss Mi was stunned first, then her eyes were red, and her fat body trembled slightly. Madam Mi was unbelievable, and she noticed Qian Shun's eyes and hurriedly lowered her head.
Wu Kang glanced at Lu Zhaolin and continued to make up the story: "This time I went to Beijing to take a detour to Dengzhou and planned to match the matter. However, the problem came. Shunzi was stupid at the time and forgot to inquire about Mi Niang. He came to search for it three days in advance, but there was still no trace. He had no choice but to meet with the brigade and on the way back to Wuzhou, he met Mi Niang hanged..."
The scene was silent, Boss Mi was very upset, and tears fell; Madam Mi covered her face and cried, but she did not dare to make a sound. King Deng's face was as dark as water, Lu Zhaolin's face was as dark as ink, with disgust, staring at Wu Kang.
Wu Kang didn't care and then fooled: "It's such a coincidence in the world. The two met like fate, and Qian Shun expressed their admiration. We were waiting outside, and they entered the woods and talked for a long time. After coming out, Mi Madam was sad, and Shunzi begged me to come to propose marriage."
Qian Shun got the boss' approval and came to Boss Mi, saluted respectfully and said: "My younger brother Qian Shun, whose courtesy name is Shunzhi, is 25 years old this year. He lives in Wuzhou City, Jiangnan Road. The shopkeeper of the prosperous security guard has 100 acres of fertile land and saves 20 chunks of money every year. My first wife passed away before the New Year. I care about Mi Lady Mi, and I hope my father-in-law will fulfill it."
Wu Kangjue's Coke, we are equally good at lying. Shunzi looked at Lu Zhaolin and continued to beg: "In the jujube forest, Mi Madam reveals the truth, and the younger generation knows it. But please rest assured, I will treat her well. Her child is my child!"
As soon as this statement was spoken, Wu Kang, everyone was confused on the spot. This is love at first sight, this is love? You are very avant-garde brother. Boss Mi was crying, and she couldn't speak in her throat, and nodded frequently like pounding garlic.
Chapter completed!
