Cao Peng couldn't understand the ingenuity in this.

After the banquet, Lu Xun arranged for Xun Yan and others to rest.

The lintel of the Lu family seems to be in ruins, but its industry still exists. After Lu Kang's death, the two descendants of Lu Xian and Lu Kang merged into one.

The two tribes also merged, which was able to protect themselves.

The Lu family's northern courtyard is occupied by Lu Kang's children; the southern courtyard belongs to Lu Xun's family.

There are about a thousand people living in the nearly two hectares of house. Among them, there are about 800 people in the middle group, and there are less than 200 children of the Lu family. Xun Yan said that there were nearly 500 children of the Lu family at the beginning, plus the distant branches,

There are as many as two thousand. Although it is not the most prominent family in Wu County, it can definitely be ranked in the top ten. However, since Lu Kang's death, the direct branch has suffered heavy losses, and only these less than two hundred people are left, and they are very old.

The small one...and the distant branch, the wandering and fleeing, made the Lu family no longer regain the momentum it once had.

Sometimes, one step is wrong and every step is wrong.

This is the situation of the Lu family.

I wonder if the Lu family can rise again in the future?

Cao Peng wanted to tell Xun Yan that the Lu family would definitely rise.

Not only will it rise, but it will also become extremely powerful. I vaguely remember that in the later years of Sun Wu, the entire Jiangdong naval force was under the control of the Lu family. The three generations of heroes following Lu Xun built the Lu family into the number one family in Jiangdong.

Its strength even exceeds that of Xunshi...

Perhaps Xun Yan was not in a good mood when he saw that his old friend's family was in ruins.

After settling down, he went back to his room to rest early.

Cao Peng and Xia Houlan still lived next to Xun Yan's bedroom.

Xia Houlan was a little tired after driving all day, so he fell on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

Cao Peng was lying on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He didn't know what was going on, but he often suffered from insomnia after arriving in Jiangdong.

Putting on his clothes, Cao Peng got up and walked out of the room lightly.

The scenery in Jiangnan is very good, but the undercurrent is surging and makes people feel very depressed.

Here, Cao Peng felt that there was no room for him to use his skills. The people he came into contact with were all outstanding talents of the time. He had to be careful even when he said a word and did not dare to relax for a moment. In contrast, in Xudu and Haixi,

Even in Dongling Pavilion, he seemed very comfortable.

I don’t know when I can return to Guangling?

The moonlight is like a wash, shining in the courtyard.

It was quiet in the courtyard. The walls of the courtyard were covered with wall-creeping tigers, which dyed the walls green. The green was dotted with many small white flowers, which added a lot of interest to the night. Along the gravel paved road

Cao Peng walked along the path and walked out of the courtyard unknowingly.

The air is filled with an extremely quiet and elegant fragrance.

Cao Peng shrugged his nose, feeling that the aroma seemed familiar.

On the ground, peach blossoms and apricots were stained with white leaves, and the late night dew made the path wet. Walking along it was quite confusing.

There is an arch in front, and past it is the Lu family's garden.

Cao Peng stepped forward and passed through the arch. He saw a small flower pavilion at the end of the path among the sea of ​​flowers, which was particularly eye-catching in the moonlight.

The reason why it is eye-catching is because of the wisteria hanging from the flower pavilion.

Wisteria flowers bloom one after another, spreading their fragrance to the heaven and earth.

That familiar fragrance comes from the wisteria flowers... Cao Peng stood on the path and suddenly froze.

Because, under the wisteria flowers, a girl in white was sitting quietly. Cao Peng could only see a back outline with exquisite curves.

The snow-white neck shows graceful and sexy curves.

The girl was dressed in Zen clothes, kneeling down under the wisteria, her slender fingers passing over the strings, and the beautiful sound of the piano suddenly came out.

Her black hair is spread loosely, like a waterfall, hanging down to her waist.

Under the moonlight, the girl was like an elf on earth, without any mundane atmosphere.

Cao Peng is musically blind and cannot hear anything good or bad.

When he was that age in his previous life, he grew up listening to the songs of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung. To be honest, when it comes to ancient music, he knows nine out of ten and knows nothing about it.

However, he heard a weeping sadness from the sound of the piano.

Cao Peng stood at the end of the path and listened to the girl playing the piano.

Suddenly, there was a clang, the strings broke, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped... The girl in white lifted the expensive guqin and threw it to the ground.

"ah!"

Cao Peng was startled by the girl's sudden behavior.

However, following his soft call, the girl suddenly turned around and looked towards him.

Under the moonlight, the girl's face was soft and beautiful, with the unique charm of Jiangnan women. But there was a cold light shining in her eyes, which made Cao Peng tremble and shiver.

Cao Peng quickly stepped forward and wanted to apologize to the other party.

After all, it is someone else's business to drop the piano, and it is reasonable for him to apologize for disturbing someone's purity.

Unexpectedly, he only took two steps forward when the girl in white turned around and left. When Cao Peng arrived at the flower pavilion, the girl's graceful back had disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers.

"sorry."

Cao Peng's apology words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

In the flower pavilion, there is a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Cao Peng couldn't help but take a deep breath and savor the fragrance left by the girl. After a while, he squatted on his back and reached out to pick up the guqin from the ground. The workmanship of the guqin was excellent, and the head of the qin was engraved with a phoenix pattern, which glowed in the night light.

The bottom is very clear. There is another character on it, but Cao Peng doesn't recognize it. The character is not the popular official script or seal script, but Cao Peng can be sure that it is one character...

After picking up the broken qin, Cao Peng stood up.

There is a long black silk wrapped around the wisteria. It must have been hung up when the girl left just now...

This aroma is really familiar!

Well, I seem to have smelled the girl's fragrance from somewhere.

Cao Peng held the broken qin and stood blankly in the flower pavilion. After a long time, he sighed softly, shook his head, turned around and walked out of the flower pavilion.

That girl seemed like an elf in the night.

Although it was just a glimpse, it left a very deep impression on Cao Peng.

Who was she? Why did she appear in the Lu family's garden? She was playing sad music and then broke the precious guqin.
