Second marriage to the regent

Su Junxi took Lu Ping'an's words to heart yesterday, but today is Tianguan Festival, so she doesn't have time to take it into consideration now.

"Miss, look at it, which one do you want to wear?" Yingshi looked at the pile of clothes in the hands of the maids in front of her, her eyes almost overwhelmed.

Su Junxi looked at these brightly colored and noble clothes. She would have been delighted before, but now she has no interest at all and even feels a little gaudy.

She shook her head and said, "Bring some more elegant clothes."

"Ah?" Yingshi thought she had misheard. The clothes she chose were Su Junxi's favorite clothes. What happened today?

Yan'er coughed lightly to remind Ying Shi, who was in a daze. Ying Shi felt blessed when she saw this and said, "I'll go right now, my slave."

Yingshi waved her hand, and the maids quickly withdrew.

Soon, the maids brought all the most elegant clothes from the house.

"Miss, all the elegant clothes are here." Yingshi felt that given her master's status and appearance, wearing these clothes was a waste of money.

Su Junxi raised her eyes and glanced casually, picked out a purple piece of clothing and said, "Just that one."

Yingshi followed Su Junxi's line of sight and saw only an inconspicuous piece of clothing. She frowned and looked at Yan'er, trying to get Yan'er to exchange a few words with Su Junxi.

But the answer she got was Yan'er shaking her head.

Helpless, Yingshi had no choice but to keep that piece of clothing and remove the rest.

"Keep the piece that Miss selected and take down the rest." Yingshi ordered.

Yan'er also felt that the dress did not suit her status as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, so she advised, "Miss, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

Su Junxi understood what Yan'er wanted to say next, so she replied: "I am going to the banquet this time as the legitimate daughter of the Su family. I am a woman, so I can dress appropriately."

However, Yingshi was afraid that others would steal the limelight and would be said to be saying that Mrs. Jing'an Hou lived a shabby life, so she muttered: "Miss, others don't think so. If Mrs. Ye troubles Miss for this matter, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" "

"How can I know what others think, and why should I care?" She thought of Lu Ping'an's words, got up and left the room: "That's it, prepare the car and go to Jiang's house!"

"Jiang family?!" The two maidservants were puzzled.

Could it be that he wanted to thank Jiang Lu for his timely message last time?

The two maids didn't have time to think carefully and immediately left the house to make preparations.

When Jun'er saw Su Junxi leaving in a carriage, he thought she was going to the banquet without him and had gone back on her word, so he immediately chased her out.

"Brother Jun'er! Where are you going?" Lan Xiang was so frightened that she ran in front, while Hun'er chased after her.

Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Jun'er turned red with anxiety: "Is mother not willing to take me to the banquet?"

Lan Xiang gasped and replied to him: "Brother Jun'er, the banquet starts when the chieftain is here. Madam should have gone out to do some business."

After listening to Lan Xiang's words, Jun'er's anxious heart calmed down, and he wondered where Su Junxi was going early in the morning: "What is worthy of mother leaving the house early in the morning?"

A carriage drove over. Lan Xiang did not answer Jun'er's question, but reminded him: "Brother Jun'er, it's time for us to go to An Guo Gong's Mansion for classes!"

Although today is the Tianguan Festival, Mr. Lu specifically told him when school was over yesterday that he would have classes today and he could not delay his classes because of the holiday.

Su Junxi thought that the banquet started only for the chiefs, so she agreed on Jun'er's behalf.

Today, Lu Ping'an did not get distracted in class and studied very seriously. Perhaps he did not want to annoy Mr. Lu. "Youzi said: A man who is filial to his younger brother but likes to offend his superiors is rare; a person who does not like to offend his superiors but likes to cause trouble is not yet known. A gentleman is committed to his roots, and the Tao is born from his foundation. He who is filial to his younger brothers is the foundation of benevolence!" Mr. Lu began to speak on the Analects of Confucius today, and two disciples listened carefully behind the lecture.

"You two, tell me, what is 'filial piety' and what is 'brother'?" Mr. Lu walked up to the two of them and suddenly stopped and asked.

After the two looked at each other, Jun'er stood up and said, "Filial piety means doing good to your parents, and younger brother means respecting your elder brother."

Mr. Lu nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Then he turned to Lu Ping'an and asked: "Tell me, a gentleman should stick to his foundation. What does it mean to stand by his foundation and develop the Tao?"

"A gentleman concentrates on the fundamentals of a matter, and when the fundamentals are established, benevolence will emerge." Lu Ping'an's voice was loud, and the childishness of the past had faded away.

Mr. Lu looked at the much mature Lu Ping'an and realized that he was too lenient, and maybe he let him follow his inner thoughts.

"Benevolence is the core idea, and its core meaning is 'the benevolent love others'. To obtain this benevolence and achieve this benevolence requires not only inner experience, but also action." Mr. Lu turned around and walked away: "As a teacher, I will not hinder you. Just follow what is in your heart and realize the lofty ambitions in your heart."

Lu Ping'an received Master's permission and was very happy: "Disciple, thank you Master for allowing me!"

But Jun'er looked at Mr. Lu's heavy back and seemed relieved after hearing Lu Ping'an's laughter.

But his expression was solemn.

After class, Lu Ping'an found "Sun Tzu's Art of War" from somewhere and began to study it.

Jun'er and Mr. Lu were watching Lu Ping'an on the rocks by the lake in class, fascinated, and the corners of their mouths raised from time to time.

"Master, is senior brother leaving us?" Jun'er was a little sad. If Lu Pingan was not by Mr. Lu's side and he returned to his home, Mr. Lu would have to survive alone.

Mr. Lu noticed Jun'er's worry and said calmly: "Master, don't you still accompany me? If he wants to soar between heaven and earth, trapping him as master is equivalent to breaking his wings." . I hope he will not regret his decision at this moment in the future."

Looking at the melancholy figure of Mr. Lu, he still seemed lonely even though he was by his side.

His loneliness comes from within, and Jun'er doesn't know how to help him.

"Senior brother will definitely become a general in the future! Master, don't worry. Although the apprentice is not as skilled as the senior brother, the apprentice can learn and will take good care of the master for the senior brother!" Jun'er promised.

Mr. Lu looked back at Jun'er and felt that this child was a little strange.

When I first came here, I was disobedient and always cried. Now I have become sensible and learn quickly, and I will be a rare talent in the future.

It's just...will his achievements be detrimental to his two beloved disciples...

He has selfish motives after all.

"Tang Jun." Mr. Lu suddenly called Jun'er's full name.

"Disciple is here." Jun'er bowed.

Mr. Lu asked: "Why are you studying literature?"

Jun'er didn't dare to lie, and told the truth: "It was for my mother before. As long as my apprentice has learned something, my mother will not be bullied by others in the Hou Mansion. But now my mother is gone, and my mother takes me as her own." Out, the disciple does not seek to achieve great achievements, he only wishes to live up to his mother’s wishes and his master’s expectations.”

If he really thinks so well, even if he deliberately talks to himself to let down his guard, as his teacher, I should teach him everything he has.

"It doesn't hurt to teach you for a while while your teacher is still not confused." (End of Chapter)
