Dawei Fanghua

On the same day, the two arrived near Anping County and rested for a night in a pavilion.It’s so hot in summer that I don’t even need a quilt.Until dawn, they entered Anping City, searched for a while, and found the Governor's Mansion.

As expected, Qin Liang could only see a minor official outside the mansion, so he claimed to the minor official that he was a student from a certain county and a person from a certain county, and he had something important to report.After being blocked, he followed the method he had planned in advance and sent the slips first.

Qin Liang saw the slips being sent in, so he had to wait outside the gate.

Time passed slowly bit by bit and seemed extra long.Rao Dashan, who was accompanying him, soon became restless and walked back and forth around.Waiting is the most irritating thing.

Before seeing the results, it would be impossible for Qin Liang to say that he was not anxious at all.But on the surface, he was still stable. He stood still most of the time. He felt that his legs were a little uncomfortable, so he moved a little.Maybe two years of boring mourning in a country manor can really develop mental concentration?
Rao Dashan finally couldn't help but murmured: "We are not familiar with the place where we live, and we don't know anyone. Will anyone pay attention to the bamboo slips Erlang sent to the door?"

Qin Liang thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Seeing that Rao Dashan didn't seem to believe it, Qin Liang whispered again: "The article I wrote mainly praised General Zhenbei for his majesty and justice. Such articles are based on real people and real events, and there are traces. Once spread, it will have a negative impact on the Lu family." Fame and reputation are of great benefit. As long as a knowledgeable person in the governor's office sees us, he will receive us."

Rao Dashan touched his head back and forth: "I'm looking at Xuan, what should I do if no one sees me?"

Qin Liang said: "As long as it is a decent article, it is not everywhere in the local area. Generally speaking, it is relatively rare. Wait."

He didn't have to explain it to the banker, but he still wanted to say a few more words. Rather than trying to persuade others to be calm, it was better to say that he was also encouraging himself.

After waiting for a long time, Rao Dashan persuaded Qin Liang to sit on a stone on the side of the road for a while.Qin Liang felt that he had arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion and it was necessary to pay attention to his image, so he said: "I will stand for a while, you can just sit down and don't worry about me."

Rao Dashan obviously wanted to sit down.Seeing that Qin Liang didn't sit down, Rao Dashan finally held back and stood there with him, but he was still walking around, which made him more upset.

From morning to noon, the two of them saw people coming in and out of the house, but there was no news.Fortunately, they had prepared dry food and drinking water at home, so they leaned against the wall with water bags and ate some wheat cakes.

Rao Dashan began to complain again: "I think what Madam said is right. General Lu doesn't know us at all and has no friendship at all, so why should he help us?"

Qin Liang glanced at the people coming and going at the door of the house, and didn't say much this time. He just said: "Anyway, there is a reason to help us."

Seeing Rao Dashan's expression, Qin Liang felt that no one in his family believed in his own mind.Sure enough, Rao Dashan scratched his forehead hard and continued: "I want to break my head, but I still can't figure it out. He is an official as big as General Lu and has so many things to do. Why should he care about people who are not relatives or friends?"

I don't know how long it took, but a young man with a weak head came out of the door and said a few words to the clerk at the door. The clerk pointed to Qin Liang.

When Qin Liang saw this, he secretly took a deep breath, turned around and said to Rao Dashan, "How is it? I'm not wrong."

Rao Dashan had a look of surprise on his face, as if he had picked up money by luck, and nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice.Having waited for most of the day, Qin Liang was also very happy at this moment. No matter what, things had at least made progress.

But from the looks of it, the person who came out was obviously not Lu Zhao. A Zhenbei general couldn't be still young.Sure enough, the young man stepped forward hurriedly, bowed and said: "My father is not in the house, so I left my article in the hall. I happened to go into the hall to look for something, and out of curiosity, I just found this article. It's disrespectful and disrespectful."

After Qin Liang returned the gift and recommended himself, the young man suddenly said: "I am Lu Xun, whose courtesy name is Chang Ti."

Hearing this, even though Qin Liang had cultivated his character in the countryside for two years, he was stunned for a moment.He once studied an article in the middle school Chinese textbook and was asked to recite the entire article. It was called "A Letter on Breaking Diplomacy with Lu Xun" and was written by Ji Kang, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.The article was recited for nearly 2000 years, and then he was asked to memorize it.

And the protagonist of that article is now standing in front of him alive.

"I wonder what's wrong with me?" Lu Xun noticed something strange and asked.

Qin Liang reacted very quickly and immediately answered seamlessly: "I've heard about Shizu's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here."

He secretly thought to himself: It is none of my business what Lu Xun's personal ethics and reputation will be in future generations.It would be nice to make friends now, but life is important.And bad people are better, because most bad people are not particularly tolerant of others and tend to retaliate.

Naturally, Lu Xun didn't know what Qin Liang was thinking. He was quite happy to hear this and spoke a little faster, "Oh? Have you ever heard of my name and read my articles? You are a Tai student and know Zhong Shiji." (Zhong Hui)?”

Of course Qin Liang has not seen Lu Xun's article, but has only read the article written by Lu Xun and Ji Kang.So he deliberately avoided the first half of the sentence, so as not to discuss Lu Xun's article later and become embarrassed when asking questions. "I've heard of Shi Ji's name, but it's a pity that I didn't get to know him."

As expected, Lu Xun was taken off topic and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk. He and I often exchange letters and appreciate each other's scriptures. Next time I will recommend Shi Ji in my letter."

Qin Liang held up his hands and said, "I'm very lucky."

"Go in and talk, please." Lu Xun said.Qin Liang gave in humbly and followed Lu Xun into the Governor's Mansion.

Although Qin Liang had something on his mind and had no intention of admiring the scenery, when he entered the governor's mansion, he couldn't help but be attracted by the majestic buildings.Such decent contemporary houses can only be seen in decent places. Ordinary private houses are very low and not very elegant.

The houses, high platforms, and towers are still in the Dougong style, but they are different from most classical buildings Qin Liang has seen.The style here is more vigorous and simple, with mostly straight roof lines, few carvings, and mostly just cyan and brown colors. The overall style looks simple and domineering, with a sense of elegance in the posture, which is hard yet soft.

Several people passed through two doors and entered the spacious living room.Lu Xun and Qin Liang took their seats respectively, while Rao Dashan stood beside Qin Liang.

The two chatted for a while first, talking about people in Luoyang, the capital city. Qin Liang also talked patiently and was generally able to pick up the conversation.However, the people Lu Xun met were all the descendants of the royal family and the gentry, and the circles were different, so there was not much to say about them.Finally, when it came to the article, Qin Liang consciously brought the topic to his article.

After all, the article is full of praise for General Lu, and Lu Xun is also generous with his kind words, "The article has profound intentions, straightforward writing, and concise words. It is a treasure trove. There is no feeling of sluggishness when reading it, and it makes people feel relaxed. The momentum is like a rainbow. It is truly a rare piece of good writing in recent times.”

Qin Liang said: "If you don't dare to take it, you have to learn from Mr. Lu."

Lu Xun spoke very enthusiastically. He stretched out his palm and pointed at Qin Liang from top to bottom, "I saw the magnanimity of my steps again. It doesn't look like a weak crown. I am steady and calm in my actions, and my eyebrows are heroic. I will definitely show my support to Qin Liang." Recommended by Dazhongzheng, there is no one like him in Pingyuan County."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Qin Lang, don't you mind if I send the article and copy to Beijing so that my friends and relatives can read it together?"

Qin Liang said: "The article was written just for people to read. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reading it."

Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with great satisfaction.As Qin Liang expected, it would be good for the Lu family for such articles to spread.Perhaps Lu Xun's moral sense is far from that of wise men like Ji Kang, but it can be seen that people like Lu Xun are more pragmatic.

Qin Liang added: "But the things mentioned in the article can only be done well if they can be confirmed, such as the facts of 'fighting and false accusations', so as not to be blamed." He observed Lu Xun with casual eyes, " Mr. Zhong’s family is not an easy-going family, but it’s a pity that the family is unfortunate enough to have such a child.”

Lu Xun was very direct and said without hesitation: "The great Sinong Huan Gong (Huan Fan) may not be a broad-minded person, and he is not necessarily a good person if he comes to his in-laws' house."

Qin Liang immediately followed his intention and nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Lu Xun sneered "hehe" and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin, have you ever heard that the Ming Emperor originally wanted to confer the official position of Jizhou Mu to Duke Huan? At that time, my father was already the general of Zhenbei, and Duke Huan thought that my father was a backward scholar. , so he refused to live under my father and resolutely resigned. It was then that my father also served as the governor of Jizhou."

"Is there such a thing? I have been observing mourning at home for two years, so I only found out today." Qin Liang lied calmly without hesitation.In fact, when General Lu led the governor of Jizhou, Qin Liang was still in Luoyang Imperial College.In a place like Taixue, it is of course easy to hear about important people.

But Qin Liang had to pretend not to know.Otherwise, when Qin Liang came to see General Lu this time, wouldn't it be because he wanted to take advantage of others' dissatisfaction rather than sincerely respecting General Lu's fair and strict kingly spirit?

Lu Xun spoke well, but his voice was lower. Sure enough, the scholar also had a burning desire for gossip, "This matter is not over yet! When Duke Huan's wife, Zhong Chang, found out about it, she couldn't give her advice, so she complained, saying that Duke Huan didn't know how to behave. My boss doesn’t know how to be a subordinate. Guess what?”

These gossips have long been circulated in certain circles, but Qin Liang still wanted to play it out to the end, with a curious look on his face, "How is it?"

Lu Xun got excited when he spoke, made gestures, and suddenly made a gesture to draw his sword, "Huan Gong became angry, drew his sword out of its sheath, and made a gesture to kill. Then he stabbed Zhong Chang's belly with the ring of the sword. Unfortunately, Zhong Chang's already She was pregnant, suffered such a catastrophe, and soon died of miscarriage, one body and two lives!" Lu Xun shook his head and said, "It's sad! What a shame!"

Qin Liang also sighed.

Lu Xun's expression changed, and he spread his hands angrily and said, "Our Lu family didn't do anything sorry for him, so we just got dirty and were resented by others. Lang Jun, tell me, are you unjust?"

Qin Liang said in his heart: Huan Fan didn't do anything to you, so our family was unjustly accused, and my eldest brother was unjustly imprisoned!

He didn't say anything, but just echoed calmly: "It is just when people sit at home that the pot comes from the sky."

"Good!" Lu Xun heard it interestingly and said with a smile, "This metaphor is very interesting and fresh."

At this time, Qin Liang took advantage of changing his sitting position and silently turned his head and glanced at Rao Dashan behind him.Although Rao Dashan remained silent, he was obviously listening with great interest. At this time, he looked like he had a sudden realization, and he seemed to have finally understood some of the reasons.

Qin Liang had already guessed earlier that the Lu family did not like Huan Fan's relatives, and at least they did not object to visiting Yin Zhong's family.Even if he retreats ten thousand steps, General Lu, the governor of Jizhou, will at least not help the Zhong family.

At this moment, Qin Liang wanted to say something to Rao Dashan: Look, the Lu family has more than one reason to take action, but the He family (He Yan) does not.
