MTL - If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified-Chapter 9 The solitary canon of Nanheyu Lujing
Chapter 9 Nanheyu Lujing's Remnants of the Solitary Code
The girl in the blue shirt and the old woman left the Lu residence and went straight to the front of Zhutai Lake and boarded a small boat.
The long sword on the waist of the girl in the blue shirt even glowed a faint blue light under the setting sun.
The old woman kept her head down and stood behind the blue-shirted girl.
The girl covered her face with a veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but the sadness in her eyes was quite obvious.
"Miss, although this third young master of the Lu family is from a concubine, and because of the old incident eight years ago, he has a low status in the Lu family, but when it comes to bearing, he is much more brilliant than the playful Lu Qiong."
The old woman said: "Master and Madam know that Lu Jing is not useless and unloved son, maybe they will let go and agree to this marriage."
The blue-clothed girl is Nan Heyu, who is already married to Lu Jing.
She stood upright and was rafting on the lake, but she had a unique temperament, as if she wanted to integrate with the calm lake.
The old woman saw that her young lady, who is considered a kendo genius, did not talk to her, and hesitated for a while, and then said in a hesitation: "Master is also thinking of you, and I can't bear you to become a victim of Nanfu.
He always hoped that you could escape the shackles of the clan, find your own swordsmanship, and find that son of Luo…”
Nan Heyu, who had never spoken, coughed lightly, interrupting the old woman's words.
"Father and mother are naturally thinking of me." Nan Heyu looked at the sunset and said, "It's just that since grandpa has already made a marriage contract, he wants that Lu Jing to join my Nanfu, and even his life deed has already been registered by the household registration. If the Secretary recorded it in the Nanfu External Booklet, then this Lu Jing had been completely reduced to a low profile.
My father and mother blamed my grandfather for making such a decision without consulting them, and insisted on letting me break off the marriage.
But since I already have an appointment, if I write a letter of resignation to retire from the marriage, it will have no effect on me.
It was the third young master of the Lu family, so he completely ruined his future..."
Nan Heyu let out a sigh of relief.
The old woman also nodded and said: "It's not just about ruining the future, I'm afraid that in the future, this is Lu Jing, who is a year younger than the young lady, and will live in the ridicule of others.
At first, he became a lowly son-in-law, and then he was rejected by the young lady and broke off the marriage. "
When the old woman spoke, there was a bit of unbearableness in her eyes.
This unbearable, not only unbearable for Nan Heyu, who she had looked up to since she was a child, but also the unbearable for Lu Jing's future life.
"The old duke probably has no choice." The old woman said to herself: "If the descendants of the duke's manor were able to compete, or if the son of Fengmian was still alive, the old duke would not have made such a great deal of trouble to let him go. The young lady will stay in Taixuanjing and take charge of Nanfu."
There was no oar on the boat, but this small boat seemed to be driven by some kind of strange force, quietly marching in the lake.
Nan Heyu closed his eyes and said nothing.
After a long time, Nan Heyu suddenly opened his eyes.
But she saw her right hand resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
The sword energy disappeared with the flowing water and fell into the scenery of Zhutai Lake.
After a while, three hundred sword lights rose up one after another, smashing the scenery in the lake and smashing the water in the lake.
The cracks in the lake water are fleeting, and the sunset is also setting at this time.
Nan Heyu's voice also revealed a bit of helplessness.
"Today I knew I was being rude, but I still went to the Lu Mansion just to see the third son of the Lu family."
"I originally hoped that the third son of the Lu family would be ignorant and incompetent, even if he is not a cheap man, he will have little future.
In this way, after I break off the marriage, I will give him some compensation in the dark, give him money and property, and make him feel at ease to be a rich family. In the deep mansion of bones, be a concubine who is hated by others. "
Nan Heyu seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to the old woman: "But I didn't expect that the third son of the Lu family was familiar with the classics, and when he looked at his eyes, he also had ambitions in his chest.
If I break off the marriage, what will happen to the third son of the Lu family? It is already a great disgrace for a man with lofty ideals to become a son-in-law. "
The old woman's wrinkled face showed a look of approval again: "The Lu family's son's insight into Zhongzheng is extraordinary, but this is second, I don't understand the old woman.
But looking at what he said and learned, he does have a bit of tolerance. If he can always be diligent, he will have a bright future. "
Nan Heyu's eyes drooped slightly: "Since Grandpa has made a promise, as a Nan family member, I naturally have to abide by it.
Although he is still a son-in-law when he enters our country, he does not need to be ridiculed by others, and there will still be many opportunities for official careers or cultivation in the future..."
The old woman was surprised: "Miss, you have made a decision? Where is the master and wife?"
"So I went to the Lu Mansion, and I fell in love with the third son of the Lu family at a glance, and since then I don't want to leave the capital." Nan Heyu was expressionless.
"...Yes." The old woman sighed again in her heart.
Master and Madam know Miss very well, and naturally they know that Miss's heart is no longer in the imperial palace, or in this Taixuanjing.
But it was that sea, that island, that Luo Gongzi, who was wearing white clothes with a few winds and rains wrapped around his fingertips.
It is easier said than done if you want to deceive them?
—
Another day, Lu Mansion.
Lu Yi was chasing behind Sheng Zi, two braids with delicate hair waving.
"Sister Sheng, where are you going?"
"You walked so fast, wouldn't that box of peach blossom cakes be broken?"
Sheng Zi was dressed in red and had a fair face, but her brows and expressions seemed heroic.
"Lu Yi, don't worry about this box of peach blossom cakes, I want to use them as gifts."
"Gifts? Who does Sister Sheng want to give gifts? Except for the guest rooms, there are servants in the West Courtyard of the Lu Mansion... um... If Sister Sheng is looking for Lu Jing?"
Lu Yi is not stupid. From Sheng Zi's words and her insistence on taking a look at Lu Jing at the Liuguang Water Pavilion, Lu Yi could see that Sheng Zi was very interested in Lu Jing.
Now, even taking the box of peach blossom cakes that Lu Yi asked for from the old lady under the guise of her name, and heading towards the West Courtyard, Lu Yi also guessed where Sheng Zi was going.
"Sister Sheng, that Lu Jing was just talking nonsense yesterday. Even brother Lu Qiong said that what Lu Jing said was very different from what Mr. Zhu taught. Don't let him fool you."
Sheng Zi smiled slightly, walking faster and faster, skirt flying.
Lu Yi didn't know that after coming out of the Liuguang Water Pavilion yesterday, Sheng Zi returned to Shengfu, just in time to see Zhong Yubai, a Confucian scholar in the residence.
She suddenly remembered Lu Jing's understanding of Zhongzheng, and out of curiosity, she relayed Lu Jing's understanding of Zhongzheng to Zhong Yubo word for word.
Zhong Yubai's shocked expression at that time, Sheng Zi still remembered it clearly, and even kept asking who this opinion came from, or which fragmented orphaned canon.
Shengzi then understood that in the glazed water pavilion yesterday, almost everyone was attracted by Lu Jing's flying spirit and extraordinary aura, and was even impressed.
But none of the people present that day were proficient in Confucianism, and they didn't notice the extraordinaryness of Lu Jing's theory of zhongzheng and the unity of man and nature.
"This kind of insight that can surprise even famous Confucian scholars must not come from Lu Jing, who is only sixteen years old. Maybe Lu Jing found some rare classics in Lu's miscellaneous books."
"If I can borrow this book, everyone from Zhong may be able to teach me a few equestrian styles and help me lower my heels."
Shengzi thought happily, with a little hope in her eyes.
