Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 76
After the last chapter of the book, Ding Ermiao and Li Weinian returned to the front hall of the Ghost Mansion and sat down.However, Yan Lvzhu bowed carefully and bowed again, exchanging greetings.

Shuanzhu brought several cups of tea. The fragrance was fragrant. Ding Ermiao was worried that there was fraud in it and did not dare to drink it.Li Weinian has always been open-minded, and he drinks it without any doubt.

"You can talk now, Miss Lvzhu. However, when Confucius talks about the Spring and Autumn Period, it should be as brief as possible. I will doze off when I hear long stories." Ding Ermiao said with a smile, holding the tea cup.

"If Mr. Ding is sleepy, you can take a nap on one side. As long as the Li brothers are willing to listen to my worries, Lu Zhu will be satisfied." Lu Zhu said in a clear voice: "Of course, I still hope that Mr. Ding will listen together."

Li Weinian was sitting next to Ding Ermiao. He nudged Ding Ermiao with his elbow, with a trace of expectation in his eyes.Obviously, he also wanted Ding Ermiao to be a quiet listener.

Ding Ermiao waved his hand: "Okay, I'll listen, you start quickly."

In the curl of tea smoke, Lu Zhu said softly: "In that case, I will try to be as brief as possible. ... However, in order to let Mr. Ding and his brother hear clearly, Lu Zhu told his story in the tone of others. "

"I understand, you mean to talk about things in the third person."

Ding Ermiao nodded to express his understanding.I regretted it in my heart. If I had known better, I should have brought Wan Shugao over and asked him to sort it out to see if the story could be published on the Chuanshi Chinese website in exchange for a few scraps of money.

"During the Guichou period of Kangxi, the young emperor was so angry that he wanted to flatten the Three Feuds..." Luzhu began the text.But as soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Ding Ermiao.

Ding Ermiao said: "Miss Luzhu, please try to speak in vernacular. Although I understand what you said, I know that the Guichou reign of Kangxi was 1673, 340 years ago, but Li Weinian may not know; I also know that San Francisco was Wu Sangui , Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi, but Li Weinian may not know. Take care of them, they are all rough men in the army. "

This is not Ding Ermiao's bragging. As a disciple of Maoshan, he is indeed very familiar with the calculation and conversion of perpetual calendars.

"Okay, it's up to you." Luzhu began to tell the story in "human language" and said:
"In 1673, the then Emperor Kangxi was young and vigorous, and was preparing to destroy several vassal kings in the south of China. Among them, the most important target was Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi. The emperor was also worried that the three kings would join forces to rebel, so the previous year , had sent Zhu Guozhi as governor of Yunnan to secretly monitor Wu Sangui's actions. In the spring of 1673, the emperor promoted Lvzhu's father Yan Kunju to the position of Yunnan Salt Administration Secretary, and immediately rushed to Yunnan to assist Zhu Guozhi and monitor Wu Sangui together."

Ding Ermiao nodded slightly, speaking like this sounded pleasant to his ears.Looking at Li Weinian, he also nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Lv Zhu's mother has died long ago. Yan Kunju, the father, couldn't bear to have his only daughter away from him, so he decided to go to Yunnan with the whole family and set off to the south with Lv Zhu. Along the way, there were only three mule carts and seven or eight servants. Servant, Miss Lvzhu only brought one maid with her. We dined and slept in the open air, traveled at dawn and rested at night, trekked through mountains and rivers, and saw that we would reach the border of Yunnan in a few days."

After taking a breath, Luzhu continued:

"We got up early that day. Everyone had had breakfast and were packing the luggage of the mule cart at the roadside inn, preparing to leave early. Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and two tall horses galloped in. The riders on the horses walked around the inn. , one of them was talking to himself and said: 'Green mountains and green waters, dark willows and bright flowers! Haha...' and then laughed three times and left."

Hearing this, Ding Ermiao and Li Weinian looked at each other, thinking in their hearts that these two guys coming on horseback must not be good people!But it’s not easy to ask, just continue to listen to Luzhu’s talk.

"Miss Luzhu heard something strange in the mule cart, so she raised the curtains and looked outside. However, the dust on the road was flying, but the figures of the two riders were gone. Luzhu was surprised when he suddenly heard someone laughing: ' What a beautiful girl!” Miss Luzhu hurriedly turned around to look, but it was a young man, wearing a green shirt, riding a black horse, slowly coming from the post road, with piercing eyes, looking at Luzhu. beads.”

Although it was separated by a curtain, Ding Ermiao peeked and could still see Luzhu's face. When she said this, there was a shy and happy smile on her cheeks.It seems that the dark horse boy coming from behind is the prince charming from Luzhu's previous life.

Li Weinian was not as smart as Ding Ermiao, so he blurted out and asked: "Sister Luzhu, this young man riding a black horse, and the two people in front of him, are a group of bad guys?"

"Brother, please be patient and listen to my little sister." Luzhu smiled sadly and continued:

"Lvzhu couldn't help but blush when she saw the young man in green slurring his words with a hint of frivolity, and hurriedly lowered the curtain. At this time, everyone had finished getting ready and was about to go on their way. The old housekeeper whispered to the old man: ' Master, as the saying goes, there is a third risk in sailing and horse racing. I saw that the passerby just now looked a little strange, so we have to be careful along the way.'

The old man Yan Kunju was well-informed and felt strange in his heart, but he comforted him: "Ma Shan is about to enter Yunnan. King Pingxi is powerful in the southwest and has strict laws. He will never allow bandits to run rampant?"Don't worry, old housekeeper. '

So the group of people walked in a meandering way, but the young junior followed closely behind them, taking their time.Luzhu's personal slave said: "Miss, I don't think that young man is a good person." Luzhu was speechless.Staying in an inn that night, the young man also stayed in an inn.The next day, the young man got even more serious, riding a horse, staying close to Luzhu's mule cart, either in front of him or behind him, but only a few steps away. "

Li Weinian slapped the table and said angrily: "This young man must not be a good person. I can only regret that I was born 340 years too late to protect Miss Luzhu!"

Damn it, are you too deep into the drama?Ding Ermiao turned to look at Li Weinian and saw that his expression was sincere and showed no pretense.

Luzhu stood up and bowed Yingying: "As my brother said, I will have no regrets even if I die a hundred times..." After speaking, she choked up and couldn't speak.

Ding Ermiao quickly interrupted their brother and sister's conversation and asked Lu Zhu to continue telling the story.Somehow, he, who didn't like listening to stories before, now feels that Luzhu's past life is worth hearing.

Luzhu wiped her tears, calmed her mind, and then said:

"Miss Luzhu was a little angry when she saw this young man being frivolous. However, due to her status as a young lady, she couldn't verbally abuse her. However, her maid didn't care about it. She immediately took out a piece of silk and wrote it crookedly with rouge. He wrote a line: 'What a big follower', and then picked it up with a riding crop and stuck it on the hood of the car. Looking at the young man again, he was not angry, and was still smiling. The maid felt that she had taken advantage, and told the lady that the two of them were in the car. Laughing. Suddenly I heard a soft snapping sound, and looked at the riding whip. I don't know why it had been broken, and the yellow silk cloth on which the writing was written was also blown away by the wind. The young man was still following behind the car, with a calm and leisurely look on his face. "
