Chapter 182 Wan Qingsi (3)(1/2)
Lu Yi was about the same height as Cao Peng, but he looked slightly stronger than Cao Peng.
It is often said in later generations that the children of the poor will be the masters of their families early. But in fact, as a child of a family that is about to decline, one often has to bear more responsibilities. The same is true for Lu Yi. He disciplined the family at the age of twelve and assumed the important responsibility of running the family.
.This also makes his slightly childish-looking cheeks reveal a solemnity and calmness that are unmatched by his peers. Cao Peng can also be regarded as a model of youth and maturity among his peers. But compared with Lu Yi, Cao Peng
I feel that I am a little inadequate and lack the magnanimity of a child from a noble family.
Lu Yi showed no surprise when he saw Xun Yan.
On the contrary, in his words and deeds, he showed strong alertness and vigilance.
Perhaps it is not against Xun Yan, but because of the caution that has been cultivated for a long time. After all, there is quite a grudge between the Lu family and the Sun family in Huating. When Sun Ce conquered Lujiang, he still killed the Lu family members.
The indelible pain in the hearts of the people of the Lu clan.
The children of the Lu family harbor hatred towards the Sun family.
The Sun family, in turn, was wary of the Lu family's children.
The Lu family now lives under the rule of the Sun family and is wary of everything. This is originally a normal thing.
Therefore, Lu Yi's words were polite, but his attitude was cold, and he had a feeling of being distant from others.
But Xun Yanhun didn't care and was chatting and laughing. He talked about his interactions with Lu Xian and his friendship with Lu Jun in Luoyang in his early years.
Lu Yi always kept a warm smile and added a few decent remarks from time to time, which made Xun Yan very happy.
Cao Peng knelt down behind Xun Yan and silently observed Lu Yi.
Lu Yi and Cao Peng are similar in age. According to Xun Yan, they are the same age. But Lu Yi seems to be two months older than Cao Peng... But it is this two-month gap that makes Lu Yi appear much calmer than Cao Peng. He
Seeing that it was getting late, he ordered his servants to go down and prepare a banquet.
"I'm afraid it's too late for uncle to go back now. How about staying here tonight?"
Xun Yan nodded and replied: "Just as my nephew said.
By the way, I heard someone say when I came here that my nephew is getting married soon? I wonder if we can set a date for the wedding?"
"As far as uncle is concerned, the wedding date has been set, it will be in the eighteenth day."
"Uh, but it seems to me that the mansion is not prepared?"
"It's all ready... However, Uncle Gu's family sent someone to tell you that it's best to keep everything simple and don't spend a lot of time, which will be unsightly."
"Uncle Gu?"
Xun Yan was startled, "You mean..."
"I think I know my uncle too. My uncle from the Gu family is my father-in-law's brother. I heard that he had a close relationship with Uncle Xun in his early years. At that time, my uncle from the Gu family was still studying under Uncle Xun."
"You mean, Gu Yuantan?"
"Exactly."
Cao Peng cursed in his heart again: You're such a good person, can you please stop calling me "Zi" all the time? Gu Yuantan, it sounds so familiar!
But he knew who the ‘Bojie Gong’ was, Cai Yong.
Cai Yong’s student?
Faintly, Cao Peng remembered reading a Three Kingdoms time travel novel in his previous life, which seemed to introduce a lot of Cai Yong's students, and one of them... Gu Yong! Yes, that's Gu Yong, Gu Yuantan. This person seems to be Cai Yong's
student, and later became the prime minister of Soochow.
Is Lu Yi getting married to Gu Yong's niece?
Xun Yan nodded repeatedly, "Brother Yuantan rarely talks, but he is extremely virtuous, loyal and virtuous, and he was a role model at that time.
By the way, I heard someone say that he is now serving under Wu Hou? This time I came to Wu County, I didn't have time to visit the Gu family."
"Uncle is now the chief of Shangyu, but he will come on the wedding day."
"That's great!" Xun Yan nodded repeatedly, "Brother Yuan Tan and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We haven't contacted him since he returned home. We can hang out with him then."
Lu Yi would never start a conversation easily, but every time Xun Yan asked a question, he answered very appropriately and in detail.
The two of them just asked and answered each other, and time passed quickly.
Later, Lu Yi prepared a banquet. Xun Yan was at the banquet and saw Cao Peng being silent. He suddenly remembered something.
"Good nephew."
"Here."
"I also want to ask you about someone... I wonder if there is a person named Lu Xun among your Lu clan?"
This was originally a very ordinary greeting, but Lu Yi was stunned.
After a while, he nodded with a strange look on his face, "Return to uncle, there is indeed such a person."
Cao Peng suddenly opened his eyes wide and pricked up his ears.
Lu Xun is indeed a descendant of the Huating Lu family...
However, what Lu Yi said next made Cao Peng stupid.
"Lu Xun is my nephew."
Xun Yan was also stunned, "Are you Lu Xun?"
"At the beginning of the year, my nephew had a wedding ceremony, and then the wedding date was set. At that time, since my nephew... uncle was on a mission to Jiangdong, he should know the situation of the Lu family. The Lu family and the Gu family are both prominent families in Wu County for a century. Now,
They got married again... My nephew felt that things would be difficult for him in the future. Now that he is in a disciplined family, he feels that he has a heavy responsibility, so he changed his name to 'Lu Xun'."
Xun means giving in, forbearing, and being in harmony with others.
At the same time, it also represents the current situation of the Lu family. They must be equal to the light, they must give in, they must endure...
Lu Yi changed his name to Lu Xun, which roughly means this.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Xun Yan couldn't help but be filled with emotion. Although Lu Yi was young, he was already very proficient in the way of surviving in this world.
He didn't say it too clearly, but the word "Xun" described his dilemma very clearly.
Lu Yi said: "Why did my uncle suddenly ask about this matter? Not many people know about my nephew's name change. Apart from my uncle, even my family members don't know. I originally planned to make it public after the wedding...
…Where did my uncle learn this name?”
"this……"
Xun Yan hesitated for a moment, "Is there no second Lu Xun in Jiangdong?"
"As far as I know, there is no one with the surname Lu in Wu County named Lu Xun."
Xun Yan turned his head and looked at Cao Peng.
Cao Peng rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Sir, the student also heard about it from the market by chance.
People say that Lu Xuncai has learned a lot and is a talented person from Jiangdong. But where exactly is he from? The student is not sure, so he asked this question on the way."
Cao Peng's words suddenly obscured the question.
Have you heard about it in the market?
Of course, there is no way to study it...
Lu Xun looked a little unnatural and said softly: "May I ask, what does that person look like?"
"Alchemist, he is an alchemist."
Lu Xun's jade face sank slightly, showing a dignified look.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and sighed: "The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop."
This sentence was said by Gao Yu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and comes from "Han Shi Wai Zhuan". Puyang Kai studied Korean poetry intensively, so Cao Peng was no stranger to it.
The original words are very famous in later generations: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to be raised but the kiss does not wait.
What Lu Xun meant by this sentence is: I have tried my best to be patient and give in, but it seems that someone still wants to push me to the forefront.
Xun Yan was silent.
"Good nephew."
"Here."
"There is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Uncle, please speak clearly."
After Xun Yan hesitated for a moment, he said softly: "If you can't stay in Jiangdong, you might as well go to Yingchuan."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly, "Not because my nephew doesn't want to, but because the family business is here, it may be difficult to leave... However, my uncle's words will be remembered in my heart."
Cao Peng never expected that a sentence he made up casually would actually make Lu Xun want to leave Jiangdong.
If, if Lu Xun is not in Jiangdong, who can resist Liu Bei in the future?
Cao Peng couldn't help crying in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak... It could be seen that Lu Xun actually had a lot of resentment and even hatred for the Sun family. Otherwise, he would not have said such words. Everything would have happened early.
When we were in Lujiang, we came to a conclusion.
However, since there is such hatred between the Lu family and the Sun family, why did Lu Xun later...
To be continued...
