Chapter 648 He's Drunk
After the uncle entered the Hanlin Academy, his second sister's talent was revealed, Lu Zhengchang, a colleague and friend of the uncle in the Ministry of Rites, and his wife proposed marriage to the Jiang family twice and repeatedly, hoping to propose marriage to his second sister for his concubine's second son Lu Erlang. However, both grandmother and uncle had clearly refused, and they still did not give up.
In August this year, Lu Dalang, 18, and Lu Erlang, 16, both entered the Lu family to take the exam for the autumn examination. Lu Dalang, who has been studying in the Imperial College, has a similar situation to Jiang Dalang. It is reasonable for him to try it, but it is a bit reluctant for Lu Erlang to participate. Without professionals, even Jiang Liu, a half-baked guy, knows that he can't win because Lu Erlang's study is not as good as his brother.
Regarding why he participated in the autumn examination, Jiang Liu thought that the Lu family might think that if Lu Erlang passed the imperial examination, he would come to the Jiang family to propose marriage again, perhaps the Jiang family would agree.
But this is impossible! Although Lu Zhengchang is a good person, Mrs. Lu is extremely difficult. When the second sister marrys the Lu family, she will definitely be kneaded by her mother-in-law. In addition, Lu Erlang in front of her. In addition, he looks better than Liao Chuanrui, and everything else is worse than Liao Chuanrui. More importantly, the second sister falls in love with Liao Chuanrui but does not fall in love with him.
As soon as the banquet was gone, what was he going to do when he entered the backyard of Jiang's family so drunk? How did he come in? Jiang Liu immediately ordered the maid beside him, "Shuqiu will stop the second brother of the Lu family, and Qinbai will immediately go to the front yard to find Erlang and ask him to take the second brother of the Lu family out."
The two maids responded. After a while, Jiang Erlang hurried in, arrived in front of Lu Erlang, and said with a smile, "Brother Lu Erlang, have you eaten too much wine. How can I find this place when I find a toilet? I will take you there."
Although Lu Erlang looked drunk, his mind was still clear, "Si Shun, I didn't go to the wrong place. I came in with my mother. I heard that there are many new chrysanthemums in your home, so I want to come in and take a look."
Jiang Erlang followed his words, "Today there are many female relatives in the inner courtyard. Is it good to go to Renfu to appreciate chrysanthemums? The chrysanthemum varieties in Renfu garden are the same as here, and they bloom just in the right place. Please come here with Brother Lu."
After saying that, Jiang Erlang didn't wait for Lu Erlang to speak, so he pulled him through the cross-door and went to Ren Mansion. When Lu Erlang was pulled by Jiang Erlang to face Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu raised his claws and stretched out his thumb at Erlang Brother.
Jiang Erlang squeezed his right eye, smiled brightly, and took Lu Erlang away.
Shuqiu returned to the girl and whispered, "Girl, I think the second young master is in a particularly good mood today."
Erlang and his second sister are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. The second sister is married well, and he is the happiest person in the mansion. Jiang Liu put his hands on his back and turned around and said, "Go and tell Jiang Ming that he should guard the flower gate and not let male guests come in again. I want to go and talk to Sister Jinyi about which type of rouge is good."
In the Ren Mansion Garden, chrysanthemums were blooming in a perfect way, but Lu Erlang didn't even have the interest to take a look, because he did not enter the Jiang family's back garden to enjoy the flowers.
The Renfu Garden was entertained by male guests, and the young masters gathered here, which was several times more lively than the Yingying and Yanyan in the Jiang family's inner courtyard. Lu Erlang knew that Lu Erlang had no intention of enjoying the flowers, so he greeted Jiang Ling and took Lu Erlang to the east wing of the Renfu East Courtyard.
Lu Erlang sat down at the table and saw that Jiang Erlang's handwriting was written on the paper, and he said in surprise, "Si Shun, is this room your study?"
Jiang Erlang ordered the servant to make tea, but then turned around and explained to Lu Erlang, "This is the study room prepared by Brother Ling for us. I am still in the front yard of Jiang Mansion on weekdays. During the break, I will come here to study and practice calligraphy."
The east courtyard of Renfu is a study. During the day, the Jiang sisters studied in the west room of the main house and became a girl. At night, Jiang Ling studied in the east room. The two east wing rooms were reserved by Jiang Ling for several brothers of Jiang's family. At first, they were still studying in the front yard of Jiang's mansion. Since Jiang Sanlang brought his various animals over, Jiang Silang also moved over, and Jiang Erlang also joined in the fun.
Lu Erlang looked at the place in the house and the four treasures of the study on the table, and felt sad. As both the concubine's son, Jiang Erlang lived several times better than himself.
When the servant brought hot tea, Jiang Erlang poured a cup for Lu Erlang and pushed it in front of him. Lu Erlang held the hot tea cup and said in a low voice, "Is Liao Chuanrui going to get engaged to your second sister?"
Jiang Erlang said cautiously, "I haven't even said one of my eight characters yet. Brother Lu, don't listen to them yelling."
Liao Chuanrui took his mother from Xiangyi and sent her to the Jiang Mansion to discuss marriage. The second stroke of the eight characters had been written. Lu Erlang looked at the mist of water vapor and burned Lu Erlang's eyes, "What did you like him? Just because he passed the imperial examination? If he can't pass the Jinshi next year, would you send Sister Mu Zheng to a remote place like Xiangyi?"
Jiang Erlang pulled down his face and said unhappily, "Brother Lu, you have drunk too much."
Lu Erlang looked up at Jiang Erlang and said bitterly, "Sisun, how can your legitimate mother treat you well? How did she plan for your future and marriage?"
Jiang Erlang was silent and did not want to discuss these with a drunkard.
Lu Erlang continued, "My elder brother is not better than me in his studies, but because he is the legitimate son, he was sent to the Imperial College by his father. I can only study at Qingjin Academy. I know that my parents are eager to become a good brother, so I also try my best to help my elder brother to please them. I also have a sister of a compatriot who is a wife. My aunt and sister will rely on me in the future. If I can marry Sister Mu Zheng, work together with her..."
Jiang Erlang couldn't listen anymore and stood up and said, "Brother Lu is resting here for a while and sobering up, I'm still..."
Lu Erlang suddenly broke out, pushed down the teacup and stood up and shouted, "Jiang Siyao, isn't the concubine's son? Is the concubine's face a face? I'm so humble, what do you want to do with me?"
Jiang Erlang also got angry, "What does it have to do with me? Don't just mess around here because you're drunk. If you want to go back to your house to drink, my house can't accommodate you!"
"Ha, your house..."
"The Emperor Wuliang Tianzun-" Before Lu Erlang could finish his speech, the door was suddenly pushed open. A beautiful little Taoist priest with a Taoist crown chanted the Taoist quotation and walked in, and held a single palm on his face. "The little road passed by, and I heard that someone was drunk and unable to wake up. I wonder which lay Buddhist is, and I need the little road help?"
He Zhi is Ling Di's young follower. He must have been assigned by Ling Di. Jiang Erlang returned the greeting and said, "He Zhi, Brother Lu is drunk too much, do you have a way to calm him down?"
“Of course there is.”
Seeing the little Taoist priest running towards him, Lu Erlang slapped the table with his hands, blushed and shouted, "I didn't drink too much, I'm very good!"
"The layman looked at the face and drank a lot. If you want to prove that you didn't drink too much, can you stretch out your hand and let Xiaodao take a pulse?" He Zhi had a discussion with Lu Erlang.
"You take it!" Lu Erlang sat down and stretched out his hand angrily. He knew clearly that he had not drunk too much, but because of the alcohol, he dared to say what he dared not say in his daily life and would not dare to lose his temper.
"Thank you, layman." He Zhi stepped forward, reached his right hand to Lu Erlang's arm, but his left hand quickly said a silver needle into the Baihui point on his head. Then, He Zhi cut Lu Erlang's pulse with three fingers in a decent manner. In just a moment, Lu Erlang's head lowered.
He Zhi raised his hand to catch his head, and then said to Jiang Erlang, "Brother Jiang, this layman is drunk."
Jiang Erlang couldn't help laughing when he looked at the serious Xiao Hezhi.
