Chapter 6 Gu Yong Shocked, Lu Family Qilin Er

Prefect's Mansion, backyard study room.

Lu Kang and his son-in-law Gu Yong were sitting opposite each other, playing Go.

When Lu Kang was playing chess, he was easily distracted. Inexplicably, he thought of Lu Xuan going to Daguanlou to choose his son-in-law, so he was a little uneasy while playing chess.

If Lu Xuan had a normal personality, Lu Kang would not have these worries. Lu Xuan is introverted and not good at dealing with people, so Lu Kang is worried.

"well……"

Lu Kang shook his head and sighed.

Lu Kang is sixty-seven years old this year, with gray hair and age spots on his face. He has three sons at his knees.

Old Lu Jun was born to a concubine and has been dead for many years.

The second eldest son, Lu Xuan, was Lu Kang's eldest son. He had just turned twenty and was in good health. However, Lu Xuan had a very withdrawn personality and stuttered when he spoke, which broke Lu Kang's heart.

The third eldest child, Lu Ji, is from the same mother as Lu Xuan. He is less than six years old and is the son of Lu Kang, who is very young.

The lintel of the Lu family can only be carried by Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan cannot carry it, his lineage will decline.

"Father-in-law, it's your turn to be the son."

Gu Yong reminded with a smile.

He is twenty-six years old this year, and he married Lu Kang's eldest daughter when he was eighteen. This time he and his wife returned to Shu County to visit his old father-in-law. At the same time, he was going to Qu'a County to serve as the county magistrate, so he stopped by to listen. The teachings of my old father-in-law.

When Lu Kang heard Gu Yong's words, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yuantan, I am a little uneasy thinking about Erlang."

Gu Yong comforted him: "My second brother is very talented, but he just hasn't realized what he is doing. As long as the opportunity comes, he will definitely fly into the sky. Father-in-law, don't worry."

But he felt regret in his heart.

Gu Yong knew Lu Xuan's character very well. He thought that Lu Xuan had no hope in this life.

The old father-in-law has been strong all his life and a role model for scholars. Unfortunately, as he approaches old age, his son is ineffective. He is like a tiger father and a dog son, which is very helpless.

Gu Yong couldn't say these words.

He knew Lu Kang's character and had always held out hope for Lu Xuan.

Lu Kang nodded, picked up a black chess piece, and dropped it on the chessboard.

Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the door, the door was pushed open with a creak, and the housekeeper hurried in.

The housekeeper looked a little panicked and said: "Master, it's bad, Sun Ce appears in Daguan Tower. Sun Ce came to visit before, and you asked the chief clerk to meet him. He was very angry and said harshly that you would regret it. This time the young master is in Daguan Tower. , the old slave is worried that Sun Ce may provoke the young master."

brush!

Lu Kang's expression suddenly changed.

He put his two skinny hands on the desk and stood up, his face full of worry.

Lu Kang knew Sun Ce's character, and he was as domineering and arrogant as Sun Jian. With Sun Ce's strong character, if he suffered a loss, he would definitely target Lu Xuan.

"This time, something bad happened."

"Why did Qiao Yu, this old guy, invite Sun Ce? He always looks down on warriors, so why did he invite Sun Ce to participate?"

Lu Kang looked panicked and worried.

Lu Kang even had the intention of going directly to the Daguan Tower. However, the moment this idea arose, he was denied. He was the governor of Lujiang and had a high status. Once he appeared in the Daguan Tower, the consequences would be more serious.

Gu Yong sighed in his heart when he saw Lu Kang's desolate state.

No matter how brave and resolute you are, it is difficult to deal with it calmly when it comes to your children and grandchildren.

Gu Yong ordered: "Steward, pay close attention to the news about Daguan Tower and report news about my second brother at any time."

"Old slave understands."

The butler turned around and left.

Gu Yong continued: "Father-in-law, this is the literary meeting where Duke Qiao selects his son-in-law. In order to be selected, Sun Ce cannot provoke his second brother. Otherwise, it will cause extra problems and affect Sun Ce's impression in Duke Qiao's eyes, and the gain will outweigh the loss. I think, My second brother will be fine."

"hope so."

Lu Kang sat down again.

His thoughts flew to the Grand View Tower, and he completely lost his thoughts on playing chess.

Gu Yong couldn't help Lu Kang, so he could only change the subject, talk about the situation in Yangzhou, chat with Lu Kang, and distract Lu Kang's attention.

"Master, good news."

The housekeeper's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the study again.

The housekeeper entered the study and reported: "The master of the family was provoked by Sun Ce, and he fought back, which made Sun Ce speechless. After arriving at the Grand View Tower, Qiao Gong asked the participants to write poems and essays in the direction of early spring in March.

"

"The young master wrote a poem "Spring Hope" in front of everyone. Qiao Yu was full of praise and said that every word of the poem "Spring Hope" is vivid."

"The content of the poem has also been sent back for you to take a look at."

The butler handed over a piece of paper.

Gu Yong was the first to take it. His eyes widened after one glance, with an expression of disbelief on his elegant and calm face.

This this……

Is this a poem by Lu Xuan?

When Gu Yong was young, he worshiped Cai Yong as his teacher. He was outstanding in talent and learning, and was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He also had a very high appreciation of poetry and prose.

The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is springy with deep vegetation.

The flowers shed tears when I feel grateful, and the birds are frightened when I hate seeing you.

The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.

The white-headed hairpin is shorter, and the hairpin is full of lust.

Gu Yong read it through and was even more shocked and even unbelievable.

Gu Yong thought for a while and asked: "Father-in-law, did you predict the topic of Duke Qiao and prepare this poem "Spring Outlook" in advance for your second brother?"

When Lu Kang heard Gu Yong's suspicious words, he glared at Gu Yong, grabbed the letter, and scolded: "Do you think I am such a person? I don't bother to cheat."

The worry on his old face disappeared and was replaced by joy.

He looked at the transcribed poem, read it again, couldn't help stroking his beard and laughed, and said happily: "Yuan Tan, you really have a keen eye for recognizing people. You said that Erlang has not yet awakened, but once he does, he will definitely soar to the sky.

"

"Now, it has really come true."

"Look at this song "Spring Hope", how well written it is. It makes me shed tears when I feel sad, and I hate the birds that are leaving."

"In one sentence, I can express all the worries about the world. How wonderful!"

Lu Kang's eyes sparkled and he said: "Although I am proficient in classics, I don't have such attainments in poetry. Erlang really became a blockbuster."

Gu Yong's cheeks twitched.

A discerning eye?

He didn't know how to recognize people, but he didn't want to let Lu Kang down, so he spoke to comfort Lu Kang.

Wherever I thought of it, it really came true.

Gu Yong suppressed his thoughts and said: "The second brother has been reborn. From now on, the father-in-law will no longer have to worry about the future of the second brother, and the Lu family will also have successors. I would say that a tiger father has no dog son, and my father-in-law is resolute, courageous, and unparalleled in loyalty.

I can't be a coward."

Lu Kang became proud that his Lu family also had a Qilin'er.

Lu Kang has a successor.

Lu Kang quickly looked at the butler and ordered: "Go and prepare some wine. I want to have two drinks with my good husband."

"Here!"

The butler turned around to make arrangements.

After a while, the drinks were brought, and Lu Kang and Gu Yong were drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Master, good news, great news."

The housekeeper's anxious voice came into the study again.

After the housekeeper stood still, he said loudly: "Master, the young master was provoked by Zhou Yu at the cultural gathering, and he composed another "Poetry of the Sun and the Moon", which shocked everyone."

"Young Master also wrote an article called "The Story of the Grand View Tower", which impressed countless people and even Duke Qiao was convinced."

"Da Qiao invited the young master on the spot to visit Qiao's house tomorrow."

The butler's face was almost broken with laughter. He bowed and saluted and said, "Congratulations to the master of the family. Congratulations to the master of the family."

Gu Yong was extremely shocked.

Is this really Lu Xuan?

The Lu Xuan he knew was dull and taciturn, not like this. Could it be that Lu Xuan was really reborn?

Gu Yong was also curious about Lu Xuan's poems, and asked quickly: "Have you written down your second brother's "Sun and Moon Poems" and "Daguan Tower"?"
