Chapter 165(1/2)
Su Yanger was in the air and looked at Lu Jingyuan with four eyes. Everything seemed to have had a nightmare before, and she cried and said, "You turned into ashes, I recognize you." After saying that, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Bastard, let me down quickly."
Lu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm crying and laughing, aren't you ashamed?"
Su Yanger said: "You are not ashamed. You are a big man and you are bullying me and a weak woman with others."
Lu Jingyuan said: "Are you a weak woman? I keep talking all day long, keep talking, are there any weak woman like you in the world?"
As he said that, he bent down and picked up a broken carbon on the ground, bounced his fingers and broke the rope on the beam.
Su Yang'er didn't expect him to untire like this. She screamed and fell into his arms. She couldn't help but angrily: "I am you!"
Lu Jingyuan was both angry and funny when he heard this, but when he smelled the girlish aura on her body, he remembered that she was naked in the quilt, and couldn't help but feel nervous. He hugged her and stood up, and said with a smile: "You are okay to be my wife, but I'll be spared."
(Note: There was already a title of "wife" in the Song Dynasty, sourced from "Menglianglu")
Su Yang'er was annoyed by his cunning and treacherousness, and she was frightened by so many things. She ignored him and looked around and realized that there were only two of them in the hall. She couldn't help but ask, "Where is the person named Lin?"
Lu Jingyuan sighed, pinched her face, and said, "I have just been taught a lesson from others, and I dare to disrespect others?"
Su Yanger felt a stern in her heart. When she remembered that Lin Zhongxi had called herself the king, she asked, "He... is he really the prince?"
Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said seriously: "If you don't ask these questions, you just need to remember that if you see him later, you must not mention his surname, nor do you be rude to him. After leaving, I will explain to you. Do you understand?"
Su Yang'er had never seen Lu Jingyuan so serious. If it were before, she would have asked why, but now she suffered a loss and knew her memory. So she nodded immediately and said, "I understand."
At this time, Su Yanger suddenly remembered something and said, "He took two of my things, you have to help me get it back."
Lu Jingyuan stopped and asked, "What?"
Su Yanger said: "A jade lock and a sachet are both extremely important to me, but I accidentally threw it to him as a stone. You must help me get it back."
Lu Jingyuan smiled when he heard this, flipped his left hand and asked, "Are these two things?"
Su Yang'er looked closely and saw that the two things he had lost were in his palm. She interspersed in surprise: "Give me back quickly."
Lu Jingyuan took back the two things and sighed, "You are in the quilt, I will give you back now. Do you have any hands to take them? I'll keep them for you." After that, he picked up Su Yang'er and turned around and went.
As soon as the two arrived outside the hall, they saw Lin Zhongxi standing here, facing away from the railing.
When Su Yanger came, she was just swearing and shouting, and never noticed that the hall was built on a high place. There were more than a dozen steps of Qingzhang standing under the hook railing. She stood here and looked down at the entire garden. She couldn't help but be stunned, thinking: "This mansion is built so grandly, I believe it, but how could there be a prince named Lin in the Northern Song Dynasty?"
Lu Jingyuan hugged her a few steps forward, and before he could speak, he heard Lin Zhongxi say, "Brother, are you going to leave now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Lu Jingyuan.
He looked at Su Yanger, who still had tears on his face and smiled and said, "The two of you are reunited with a broken mirror, which is gratifying."
Hearing this, Su Yanger slapped her mouth, and she felt angry, but she remembered Lu Jingyuan's advice and did not dare to speak.
I heard Lu Jingyuan say: "Thanks to Brother Wang's help, Jingyuan has been bothering him for many days, so he dare not ask Brother Wang to be entertained again."
Lin Zhongxi smiled and said, "You and I are a family. If you call me Brother Wang, it would be better to call me Brother Zhongxi."
Lu Jingyuan was slightly stunned, but did not change his words and said, "What Brother Wang taught me is that Jingyuan and Wang have been separated for many years, and I feel ashamed that I have asked Brother Wang to accompany Jingyuan to have a ridiculous farce."
Lin Zhongxi smiled and said, "I was absurd than you when I was young. Now I want to find some fun, but I can't do it. It doesn't matter if you ask me to do more things like this."
As he said that, he gestured with his hand on his chest and continued, "You were so tall when I saw you back then. In a blink of an eye, you have grown up and acted more and more like your father. If the mother could see you now, she would be very pleased."
When he said this, his face looked very remembrance, but for some reason, Lu Jingyuan's expression changed slightly after hearing this, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.
Su Yanger felt strange in her heart and said to herself: "When they used to mess with me, they looked like good brothers, why did they hesitate now? And this Lin guy looks like a few years old, but he speaks very old."
Lin Zhongxi also noticed Lu Jingyuan's strange expression, and suddenly sighed and said, "Jingyuan, are you afraid of me?"
Lu Jingyuan was shocked and said calmly: "Why did Brother Wang say this?"
Seeing this, Lin Zhongxi shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go. I know you are doing this for the past and I'm afraid I will hold a grudge. Since that's the case, I won't keep you for more."
Lu Jingyuan looked up and said, "That was…"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Zhongxi waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "You were still young back then and there was nothing to do with you, let alone military affairs, changing rapidly, and you and I can control it."
Lu Jingyuan sighed inwardly when he heard this and said, "Yes."
Lin Zhongxi smiled again on his face and said, "Okay, your Lu family's four generations and three nobles, and there are only two or three prominent people in the court. Therefore, I have planned to keep you in advance. I have already sent someone to prepare a carriage outside. The person you want has been arranged. You leave from the small door and leave earlier, so that anyone will not talk too much."
Lu Jingyuan felt a stern and said seriously: "Yes, Brother Wang is considerate, Jingyuan has said goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and walked, hugged Su Yang'er horizontally, and followed a man down the stairs.
Su Yanger asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by what you just said? What happened back then? Are you relatives or enemies?"
She asked several questions in succession, but Lu Jingyuan did not answer a single answer and said, "Let's talk about it on the way."
He walked very fast, and in a blink of an eye, he followed the man through the garden and came to a rather hidden small door. As soon as the man opened the door, he saw a carriage outside the door. Lu Jingyuan boarded the carriage without saying a word and ordered the coachman to urge the horse to go quickly.
Others didn't sit firmly, Su Yanger followed him in his arms and couldn't help but spit, "You run for your life."
Lu Jingyuan lifted the curtain, looked at it, then breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's right, it's just running for life."
Su Yanger was stunned when she heard this and said strangely: "Why do you want to escape? Are you and the one with the Lin surnamed Lin good brother?"
Lu Jingyuan said: "Why do you have to ask so clearly?"
Su Yanger said angrily: "You made me so miserable, you bit me with a snake, whip me with a whip, and burn me with a soldering iron. Of course, I have to ask his origin clearly, otherwise how can I take revenge?"
Seeing her angry look, Lu Jingyuan felt a move in his heart, pinched her face and smiled, "What ability do you have to take revenge?"
The more Su Yang'er thought about it, the more angry she became, and said, "Yes, I just don't have the ability. I don't have the ability, and I want to take revenge!"
When a person's curiosity arises, he often feels out of control, not to mention that she is angry, so she keeps asking questions.
Lu Jingyuan didn't want to say much, but he couldn't help but chirp like a bird. He sighed and said, "This matter is a long story. What do you want to know?"
Seeing that he was finally willing to say it, Su Yanger said happily: "You can tell me the truth, is he the real prince?"
Lu Jingyuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Su Yanger was startled and blurted out: "Then is he really a king of a different surname?"
Lu Jingyuan frowned and said in surprise: "Do you still know the king of a different surname?"
Su Yanger looked gloomy and curled her lips and said, "You look down on others. I not only know the king of a different surname, but also the prince, the successor, the prince..."
Lu Jingyuan thought that Su Yanger was born into an official family after all, so it was not surprising that she knew this, so he said, "Yes, he is the king of success, but not the king of different surnames. There is no king of different surnames in this dynasty."
When Su Yanger heard this, she was stunned again and said in confusion: "It's not a king of different surnames, so why is his surname Lin?"
Seeing that her little face was full of confusion, Lu Jingyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Forget it, you will know these things sooner or later when you enter my house."
Su Yanger's face turned red and she muttered, "Who wants to enter your house, tell me quickly."
Lu Jingyuan sighed and said, "My grandfather Lin Zhongxuan was appointed as a scholar during the Yuanfeng period and was appointed as the young master of the Political Affairs Hall. He had a hard life. After retiring, he had no children and only three daughters. The eldest daughter died young. The second daughter married Zhao Zongfu, King Rong of Chu, and the youngest daughter married..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Yanger interrupted, "Will the young girl marry your father and become your mother?"
Lu Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "No, it's your mother-in-law."
Su Yanger pouted and said, "Thank you, I can't stand it. Then you and him are cousins, so why are you so afraid of him?"
Lu Jingyuan frowned and said, "I'm not afraid of him, but I'm ashamed of him. It's not right, it's because my father is ashamed of him, it's not right."
Su Yanger interrupted him and said, "You are not the same as your father, so you just want to say why you are ashamed of him."
Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know much. You and I were only four or five years old at that time. I only knew about the fourth year of Zhenghe. My father served as the vanguard commander and King Rong of Chu were ordered to fight north and divide it into two parts in Liao territory. He agreed to go north along Hebei and attack east and west. However, King Rong of Chu encountered most of the Liao army, so he ordered his cousin Zhongxi to ask for help. In order to take into account the overall situation, my father did not divide his troops to rescue him. As a result, although the battle was won, King Rong of Chu was defeated and died for his country."
"Sacrifice for your country?"
After hearing this, Su Yanger blurted out and said, "Didn't your father refuse to save him when he sees death?"
Lu Jingyuan said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can you let the big military affairs be played? What do you know as a woman?"
"I……"
Su Yanger felt that she was too verbal and apologized: "I don't understand. I'm just saying it. Are you so fierce? And you said he went to war at that time, so how old is he this year?"
Lu Jingyuan's expression improved and he said lightly: "He was already nineteen years old, about the same age as us."
Su Yanger was surprised and asked, "The winter of Zhenghe in the fourth year, more than ten years have passed. So isn't he in his thirties now?"
Lu Jingyuan said: "Why, don't you look like it?"
Su Yanger shook her head and said, "No, I think he is only in his early twenties."
Lu Jingyuan said: "He was not cured because of his long-term illness and his face was full of sickness, so he could not show his age."
Su Yanger sighed and said, "You are really good at picking people if you let a sick person go out to fight."
Lu Jingyuan said: "He was not like this before. It has been a matter of illness for more than ten years, and his surname is also related to it."
Su Yanger said with a "huh" and said strangely: "What?"
Lu Jingyuan shook his head and said, "The clan Tian family cannot be changed at will. After the news of King Rong of Chu's death from battle was passed on home, my aunt was unable to afford to get sick. She hired famous doctors everywhere, and the medicine stone was not spiritual."
Su Yanger interrupted, "This is a heart disease and cannot be cured."
Lu Jingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, but my brother Wang doesn't believe it. He heard that there is a great medicine for Tianzin in the snowy areas outside the border, which can make the flesh and bones of dead people, so he went to the border to seek medicine. He went to the border for many years, but the medicine was not obtained, but instead fell into the cold and cold weather. When he came back, my aunt was also intoxicated. When the officials heard about his deeds, they were very moved and gave him the surname of his mother and gave him the title of Heiwang. After a long time, many people called him the Lord Lin."
Su Yanger was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Then his name was Zhao Zhongshi. This man is really an amazing filial son."
After saying that, he was shocked again and thought: "Lu Jingyuan's father refused to save him when he was dead, and he would have hurt this family. If it were me, he would have a grudge, let alone such a filial son? The so-called three masters of the Lu family have done so many immoral things and created many enemies. Even the relatives have offended him, so I would rather ask less questions."
Thinking of this, he said, "I don't want to listen, don't say it."
