At night, there was silence, and there was silence in the courtyard of the West Point.
Lu Zheng sat on the chair, Ying'er rubbed his shoulders behind his back, his emotions were unstable, his thoughts were flying, and his heart seemed to be untouched.
Coming from the Lu family, he subconsciously refused to go to Jiangning without any hesitation. With the support of the old lady of the Zhang family, he did this easily. Hong Shen had nothing to do. He didn’t even have a chance to put pressure on Lu Zheng. He didn't want to live in Yangzhou, and within a few days he had to roll back to Jiangning in despair.
However, Lu Zheng's mood couldn't be calmed down. He is a child of the Lu family. This can't be changed anyway. Can he stay in Yangzhou forever?
Yangzhou is just a small place. Dakang is very big and the world is huge. If Lu Zheng wants to live his life vigorously, Yangzhou can only be a springboard, and even Jinling is just a springboard.
To be honest, Lu Zheng actually has a certain kind of sprouting deep in his heart. The pond in Yangzhou is too small to accommodate him. He wants a bigger stage.
However, Jiangning's Lu family made him feel resisted. When he thought of going to Jiangning and facing such a complicated and huge family, he was very reluctant.
You must know that the Lu family is not comparable to the Zhang family. Although the Zhang family is known as the Four Greatest in the South of the Yangtze River, it has already fallen.
However, in such a small Zhang family, the things inside are complicated enough. The Lu family will be many times bigger and more complicated by the Zhang family.
Jinling would be ten times bigger than Yangzhou. It was the land of the two provinces and the southern court, where the prosperity of the South converged. Lu Zheng's mind was full of countless daydreams about all this.
"Master, do you have any concerns?" Ying'er said softly.
Lu Zheng sighed lightly and said, "Today someone from Jiangning is here, so I'm going to take me back to Jiangning!"
"Huh?" Ying'er shook her hand and her face changed slightly. Lu Zheng raised his hand to grab her little hand and said, "Even if I go to Jiangning, I will take you with you!"
"Uh..." Ying'er's body became even more stiff, but her face turned red with "huh", and immediately her heart became extremely peaceful, and her mood became more comfortable for no reason.
There was nothing to say all night, but Lu Zheng could not sleep either. He asked Sun San to prepare a car early the next morning, and the master and servant went to the green bamboo forest.
The green bamboo forest is still the same as before, the bamboo forest is lush, the winding path is quiet, but it may be because of his mood, Lu Zheng feels that the grass house today is a little different.
Inside and outside the Caolu, there were a lot fewer busy boys, and they were deserted. Although it was summer, Lu Zheng felt a bleak scene.
Lu Zheng got off the carriage and went straight to the study where Master Yan usually stayed. In the study, Master Yan was sitting on a recliner with a boy standing behind him. Looking at this boy, Lu Zheng was very strange. He had never seen him before.
Except for this boy, no one was seen inside or outside.
"Master Yan..." Lu Zheng respectfully saluted, and wanted to speak, Yan Lao opened his eyes. His eyes looked muddy and he didn't have much expression:
"You are finally here! I guess you will come, so I will wait for you!"
"Huh? Master Yan, you... are you leaving now?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.
The old man nodded lightly and smiled: "Yeah, it's going to be dead. If you don't leave, I'm afraid there will be no one to collect the body! Don't you want to leave? If my news is correct, Jiangning seems to be here!"
Lu Zheng was speechless, nodded and said: "Yes, but Master Yan, I...I am not going to Jiangning for the time being, I..."
"You dragged it for a while, could it last a lifetime? Will you be able to stay in Yangzhou next year if you open Enke? Wenrou Township, Hero Tomb, at the age of sixteen, there is a decadent breath on your body, hey... "The old man let out a long sigh, and Lu Zheng lowered his head, unable to say a word.
The old man paused, and then said: "I have taught you a lot of things. Those things are destined to be fermented in the rapids and to stir the situation between life and death.
What I teach you is dead, just like I stay in this green bamboo forest. I stay for a lifetime. Even if there are talents in my chest, it is dead.
You are only sixteen years old. Do you want to stay in one place like me and die in the mountains and forests? "
Lu Zheng knelt on the ground, bowed his head earnestly, and said, "Teacher's teachings, disciple Mao Sai hastened away. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers in the road ahead, you can't avoid it. If you can't avoid it, you have to walk by yourself.
You can’t choose your own life. Sometimes there is only one way. If you don’t move forward, there is no way. I understand! "
When Lu Zheng said these few words, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he suddenly realized that he could no longer stay in Yangzhou. Master Luo is gone, and Master Yan is about to leave now. Gui Liang is in a state of half escape. Who else is there beside Lu Zheng?
The Zhang family has never belonged in Lu Zheng’s heart. Yangzhou is not his home at all. He can only stay in Yangzhou for a while at best. As Yan Shi said, unless he gives up his ambitions and is willing to be mediocre and mediocre. Live a life of mediocrity, but can he be willing?
Master Yan's words really made Lu Zheng awake with horror.
Yan Shi squinted at him, seeing him intently. After a long time, he said: "You have followed me for so long. I have already taught you what I can teach you. There are some things you can't, and I can't teach you. Yours If your fate is not good, God has given you intelligence, but Huihui Yiyao, there is no shortage of intelligent people in the world. Brother Zheng, you must remember that the character is first, the thoughts in your heart are understandable, and you can do it in your chest. It has its own universe.
If you have the universe in your mind, you will have your own pattern, and you will be able to achieve great things as much as you have. It's a vast country with vast expanse of thousands of miles and no geometry, a great world, don't wait until my age is sighing that there are not many days gone! "
After saying that, Master Yan slowly got up from the reclining chair. Just at this moment, a carriage drove into the green bamboo forest. The boy behind him supported him and kept him on the carriage.
"Master Yan, where are you going? Disciple... disciple..." Lu Zheng originally wanted to say that he was going to find him in the future, but when he thought of Master Yan's age, as he himself said, he would be almost dead.
When his old man is gone, where does Lu Zheng have a goodbye in the future? When he thought of this, Lu Zheng felt abnormally uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't say anything later, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
This year, Master Yan taught him too much. Lu Zheng spent countless days in the green bamboo forest. Although it is not as magnificent as the Zhang family, it makes Lu Zheng feel extremely free. It is a pity...there is no such thing in the world. For the banquet, Master Yan is finally leaving.
"Brother Zheng, go back, I'm just an old man, what is there to worry about? Yushan still has a beautiful woman, and there is a girl at home, isn't it worth worrying about than my bad old man? Haha..."
Master Yan laughed in the carriage, the spur of the carriage, and the carriage slowly left the bamboo forest. As soon as Master Yan left, the hut was empty inside and out, and there was nothing left in the lush green bamboo forest. Suddenly, Lu Zheng became unfamiliar here.
Full of thought, Lu Zheng returned to the Xijiaoyuan. Because the Lu family had not left yet, Lu Zheng temporarily moved from the academy to live in. The environment here looked strange. In the afternoon, Ying'er came over with joy:
"My son, the people of the Lu family went to Yangzhou to find out about your name, hehe, they were all confused, especially when I heard that your house was rewarded by the Prince of Qin, the leader completely dismissed and brought you back. Jiang Ning's thoughts came.
Just now the mistress told me that the surname Hong had already given the old lady farewell, and said that she would leave by boat tonight. "
Lu Zheng frowned slightly, Hong Shen was about to leave, but he was not half happy in his heart. For some reason, his mood became more irritable, he became restless, and he always felt like something was going to happen.
He stood and paced, his heart pounding, and when he sat down, his heart panicked inexplicably. Suddenly, he felt that one of his hearts had become empty, a feeling he had never had before.
You must know that he is now two lives, and his life experience is so rich. He looks only a teenager, but his temperament and city are far beyond his actual age. He has never been so flustered before.
Ying'er also feels strange to Lu Zheng's state, but in her heart she thinks that Lu Zheng is homesick. After all, Lu Zheng is from Jiangning, and he has only been in Zhang's house for more than a year!
Lu Zheng's situation in the Lu family was also heard in Ying'er. He was clearly unable to survive in the Lu family. The Zhang family who came to the Zhang family only then, after Lu Zheng came to Zhang's family, his experience was clear.
Through these experiences, Ying'er can also imagine Lu Zheng's experience in Jiangning. The son's life is really bitter. It is said that he is a son, but he is actually worse than many subordinate servants. God is really unfair to him.
In this state of anxiety, suddenly, there was a scream from the west courtyard, and then Lu Zheng heard Liu Song's voice.
"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, where are you?" Liu Song's voice was extremely alarmed, and Lu Zheng suddenly stood up, his face changed.
Before he got out of the main hall, Liu Song had already broken the door and rushed into the courtyard.
"What's the matter? What happened?"
"Sister, my sister is gone, she is gone!" Liu Song said. After he finished speaking, the big man "wow" and cried.
"Huh?" Lu Zheng took a deep breath, couldn't believe his ears.
Liu Song said with a mournful face: "I'm really gone. This is the letter he left for me. The old man who took her away was the old man living in the bamboo forest where you often go. Look at this letter..."
Lu Zheng took the letter from Liu Song. He carefully read the content of the letter, and he was completely stunned. Looking at the handwriting on the letter, the handwriting was beautiful, and it was undoubtedly Liu Wan's handwriting.
Lu Zheng suddenly understood the reason for his uneasiness, and he remembered saying goodbye to Master Yan again. The sentence he said that Yushan still has a beautiful woman, and now Lu Zheng knows that Master Yan is of ulterior motives.
