The back lane of the lecture hall is Lu Xiangfu.
As soon as Lu Yan, the eldest grandson of Lu Xianggong, entered the mansion, the little servant hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Young Master, Xiangye asked you to see him as soon as you come back." ” "Well, Weng Weng has already come back, why is it so early today" Lu Yan looked at the drip, it was not Youzheng, Weng Weng rarely came back so early, let him go over immediately, could something be wrong Lu Yan's expression was suddenly solemn, he snapped the folding fan, and strode straight to Lu Xianggong's inner study.
In the inner study, under the front porch of the main room, Lu Xiang, who had half-white hair, squatted in front of the red clay stove, holding a small pu fan and fanning the tea stove, and the tea table had been set up next to him.
"What kind of tea today" Lu Yan took a few steps over, and first probed to admire the tea ceremony, "Weng Weng's tea banquet is getting more and more elegant." ” "Unfilial things, this is a tea banquet that your wife often sets, and I don't even recognize this," Lu Xiang slapped his grandson back.
"How can you not recognize me and say, it looks familiar, when my wife left, I was still young."
Lu Yan hurriedly played sloppy, in fact, it had only been five or six years since his wife died, and he was already thirteen or fourteen years old at that time.
"Alas, yes, in the blink of an eye, your wife has been gone for six years."
Lu Xiang sighed.
The water on the red clay stove boiled twice, Lu Xiang lifted the pot and ordered two cups of tea, "Your wife said that the water is boiling twice, and it is best to make tea." ” Lu Yan leaned over and smelled the tea with a concentrated face, but he didn't dare to answer, but his mind turned quickly, Weng Weng is so nostalgic today, a little abnormal, what day is today, the mother's birthday is not the death day of the mother-in-law, let alone the day when Weng Weng and the mother-in-law got married, Weng Weng often said that the day the wife married him was hot What a day it was "Brother Yan, next year's spring, how sure are you?"
"Ahh "I'm also afraid that you will fall into the top three."
Without waiting for Lu Yan to figure out how to make up for it, Lu Xiang slowly continued.
Lu Yan was stunned, Weng Weng is known for being modest and introverted, gentle and indisputable, and he is most reluctant to see his descendants arrogant, usually if he hears him say such things, he must hold his ear and teach the boss a lesson, today, it is a little strange "Less than a year away from next year's spring, this time we must not only concentrate on writing a few more articles, but also go out to meet more articles, see and see talents from all over the world, and each has its own strengths."
Lu Xiang looked at the tea in the cup, and his tone was very deep.
Lu Yan keenly felt that Weng Weng was very different from usual, the smile on his face was still the same, but his eyes were becoming more and more solemn, listening to Weng Weng's words intently, paying attention to Weng Weng's expression.
"There is a young genius named Li Xin in Huzhou, who now lives in Wisteria Villa outside the city, and is the brother of the Li family, the wife of Jiang Huanzhang, the son of Suining.
Find an opportunity to get to know him, and have more contacts, first, to see this person's character and temperament for Weng Weng, and second, if you look good and can make friends, you can make friends with him. ” Lu Yan was stunned, "Suining Boshi, let's and Suining Bofu" "It's not because of Suiningbo's Mansion."
Lu Xiang put the tea on the table and sighed, "If you mention this, the years will be long." ” Lu Xiang's words stopped suddenly, and he looked at the gray sky with a warm smile on his face.
Lu Yan looked at him and waited quietly for him to return from his memories.
"When Weng Weng was a child, his family was very poor, your great-grandfather died early, the Lu family, you also know, it was in your Weng Weng generation that you began to establish a clan ancestral hall.
At that time, your great-grandmother took me, a real orphan and widow, and lived on your great-grandmother's connections to large families. ” Lu Yan was sad to hear, moved the chair, and sat close to Weng Weng, this was the first time he heard Weng Weng talk about when he was a child, Weng Weng almost never mentioned the things before he got married, occasionally mentioned it once or twice, but only a few words, so that he knew that Weng Weng was born as a poor scholar, but he didn't know that he was poor like this, and he was so bitter.
"At that time, there was a family surnamed Yan who often came to your great-grandmother to ask for help, and he was a merchant and very rich, and the wife of that family was merciful and wise, and once, when I was about seven or eight years old, followed your great-grandmother to deliver a child to the Yan family."
Lu Xiang's words stopped, and he looked into the distance attentively.
The situation of that day, to this day, is still as clear as it is in front of my eyes.
That day, he dragged A-Niang's clothes, dazzling, in the room that looked like a fairy dwelling, there was a whole wall of books standing up to the sky, she was about the same age as him, wearing a primrose yellow dress, beautiful like a little fairy, she took a plate of pea yellow and handed it to him, "This is pea yellow, it is my favorite snack, you can also taste it, it is delicious." ” "That time, Mrs.
Yan saw me for the first time."
Lu Xiang's throat was a little choked, "Mrs.
Yan said that I have bright eyes, and I look like a seedling of reading, and told your great-grandmother to ask her to send me to study, and she will give me the money for studying." ” Lu Yan looked at Weng Weng in shock, Weng Weng had never mentioned this "The next day, I entered the private school, and studied in the private school for a year and a half, that winter, just after the New Year, Mrs.
Yan asked people to call me over, saying that Mr. told her, Mr. has limited knowledge, and I will follow him again, and it will be delayed, Mrs.
Yan said that there is no better gentleman in the county, and asked me if I would like to study at Zeyuan Academy, just like that, I entered Zeyuan Academy."
Lu Xiang suddenly let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and sighed again for a long time before continuing: "In Zeyuan Academy, I met a rich businessman's son named Zhang Yuanhang, Zhang Yuanhang likes to read, but he can't read, he and I are very good friends, invite me to travel around, I am with him, I will write everywhere, I deal with articles and poems, he is responsible for scattering silver, and I am close friends with him. ” Lu Yan kept blinking, this Zhang Yuanhang, how could he never have heard of such a friendship with Weng Weng "Later, a year before I was admitted to the exam, Zhang Yuanhang got married and married a girl from the Yan family."
"It's the Yan family that funded Weng Weng," Lu Yan asked in surprise, this is really a coincidence "Well, when Zhang Yuanhang entered Zeyuan Academy, he had already made a marriage with the Yan family, and I befriended him, initially because of the entrustment of the Yan family's wife, when I entered Beijing to take the Spring Festival, Zhang Yuanhang went out to do business, and drowned in Dongting Lake in the wind and waves."
Lu Yan couldn't help but clench his fists and let out a long sigh, no wonder he had never heard of this elder surnamed Zhang, who died so early "Zhang Yuanhang left behind a posthumous daughter, who is now the mother of Li, the wife of Jiang Huanzhang, the son of Suining, Mrs.
Zhang
