Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 61 The First Meeting with Lu Mengzheng

When going down the mountain, Sun Yue no longer had any sense of reverence for the academy, and was carried down on Hei Siniang's back.

After many inquiries, they finally came to the village where Lu Mengzheng was located.

"Hello, is this Lu Mengzheng's home?"

In the room, a woman in her thirties, who was doing needlework, raised her head with a smile on her face. Just looking at the ages of Sun Yue and Cao Jun, she couldn't help saying in surprise: "You are..."

Sun Yue smiled and said: "We are his friends, we have something to do with him."

The woman was secretly surprised, after all, Sun Yue and Cao Jun were too young, and as for the Fourth Sister Hei, the woman had good eyesight and could recognize the king and the king.

"Da Lang has gone to work in the field, I'll call him back, sit down, sit down, there is no tea at home, come, eat a cold melon, it's sweet, I grow it at home."

As she said that, the woman brought up a watermelon from the well, and the Fourth Sister Hei also hurried over to help under Sun Yue's gaze.

There is no doubt that the woman is Lu Mengzheng's mother. While eating watermelon, Sun Yue noticed that there were two scriptures on the desk in Lu Mengzheng's home, namely the Classic of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius, and couldn't help smiling.

After a while, Lu Mengzheng came back, wearing only a short coat, but already drenched with sweat, and there was a lot of yellow mud on his feet, looking quite embarrassed, not as chic as when he met at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival , but what Sun Yue had to admit was that even though this guy was in such a mess, he was still so handsome.

"Is it you?"

"Brother Lu actually still remembers us?"

"Remember, I have a good mind and will never forget once I have seen you. Is it Miss Cao who asked you to come?"

While talking, Lu Meng was pouring a bowl of cold water from the water tank, pouring it into his stomach, and seemed to ignore the cold watermelon cut on the table.

"Mother, it's hot, go to the back room to rest first, I'll entertain my two friends."

Mother Lu looked at Sun Yue and Cao Jun meaningfully, nodded, and avoided them without saying anything.

Sun Yue looked at the Xiao Jing on the table and said with a smile: "I heard from my elder sister that brother Lu is the number one scholar, why did he fall in love with the Xiao Jing? But this year's Tong Ju exam?"

After all, the Six Classics tested by Tong Ju are different from the Nine Classics. Relatively speaking, they pay more attention to the Classics of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius. Yes, that's why Sun Yue asked this question.

"Yeah, I'm going to make a surprise attack, and I'll make Brother Sun laugh at me."

"I don't know Brother Lu this year..."

Lu Mengzheng said calmly: "Ah, it's exactly fifteen after the new year, so it's a bit of a sideshow. The family is poor, and they all depend on their orphan mother to take care of them. You can get twenty bolts of silk in the middle examination. This may not be a big deal to you. For me, it's very important, I heard from Miss Cao that Brother Sun is also going to take the Tongju exam this year?"

"That's right, I have a predestined relationship with Brother Lu."

Lu Mengzheng nodded, his eyes fell on the lantern in the hands of Fourth Sister Hei, and said, "Miss Cao asked you to return the lantern?"

Sun Yue nodded, "Not bad."

Lu Mengzheng didn't say anything, but took the lantern naturally and said, "That's fine."

Sun Yue didn't say anything, but Cao Jun quit. He was very angry with his martial arts training these two days, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "You scholar, it makes no sense. My sister is crying at home all day, but you are like this!" Unfeeling, can't we be a nobody in our family?"

Lu Mengzheng sighed when he heard the words, he also dug out a lamp from the corner of his house, it was five-color glazed lamp, put it on the table and said: "Five-color colored glaze and pale white stone jade are not worthy, two brothers, please give this lamp to me." Lamp, return it."

Sun Yue asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say it was sold?"

Lu Mengzheng smiled bitterly and said: "The villagers in the farmhouse have little knowledge and no knowledge of treasures. They only sold a little more than three pens and bought some books. They planned to propose marriage when they won Tongju. They only found out about this lamp a while ago. It’s so precious, and it was redeemed again, and I’m really ashamed that I’ve let down Miss Cao’s heart.”

Sun Yue picked up the glazed lantern, looked at it and turned it around twice, smiled and said: "With all due respect, with Brother Lu's family background, even three pennies is not a small number. To be honest, I am just The person who came to deliver the lamp never thought that he would take another lamp back.”

"Brother Sun has underestimated me when he said this. Miss Cao and I were in love with each other. She did bring some money over, but I didn't."

Sun Yue nodded, handed the glazed lamp to Fourth Sister Hei, and said, "That's fine, then we'll go back, but Brother Lu, you said you have a photographic memory, I don't know if it's true or not?"

Lu Mengzheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

"If brother Lu really has such abilities, I have a teacher who is writing Tang Huiyao under the order of the official family, and there is a lack of a boy around me. I think brother Lu is a good-looking talent. If you are interested, I can help introduce it. "

Lu Mengzheng was shocked, and immediately asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the commander..."

"Sikong, Wang Pu."

"Ah! Brother Sun is actually Wang Xianggong's student?"

"Brother Lu, I see that you live in a shabby room, but you have the ambition to rise to the top of the clouds. In the future, the imperial examination and high school will only be a matter of time. If my sister is not married by then, I don't know..."

Lu Mengzheng said solemnly: "Of course you don't marry if you are not a monarch."

Sun Yue smiled and said: "Then you have to hold on tighter."

………………

After leaving the door, Cao Jun asked puzzledly: "Brother Yue, didn't we come here to help my sister make peace? Why did you ask for a break? If you don't like him, why bother to introduce Wang Xianggong?" with him?"

Sun Yue glanced at the multicolored glazed lamp, sighed, and said, "He's right, colorful colored glaze and pure stone jade are not worthy."

Cao Jun said: "I don't understand, our family doesn't want his money, don't you say he is talented?"

Sun Yue patted Cao Jun's head with a smile and said, "When you get older, you will understand."

Saying that, Sun Yue told Hei Siniang, "Let's go, go home."

I thought, Lu Mengzheng, it's interesting.

In fact, this time, Sun Yue really planned to talk to the two of them, but before he always thought that Lu Meng was studying in Songyang Academy, so it didn't matter if his family was poor, but he came to find out that the gap It's really too big, unless he is willing to marry, the two people's affairs will be useless at all, will Lu Meng be married?Obviously, no.

Even after a thousand years, family background is an inescapable hurdle, and a slightly mature woman would not find a Phoenix man, let alone this feudal society?In the world of love, the most painful thing is not being able to match the three characters. Both of them are in pain. Instead of getting entangled, it is better to break up. To be honest, this Lu Meng is showing much more maturity than he imagined.

Regarding Lu Mengzheng's family background, Sun Yue has a little impression. It should be said that he was not born into a poor family, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to read and write. His biological father should have a little money. Those who have passed the book are just a strange thing happened in their family: doting on the concubine and destroying the wife.

In the feudal society, it is an anecdote that the mistress came to the top. The young Lu Mengzheng lived with his mother ever since. As for what happened afterwards, there are no clear records in the history books, but there are many versions circulated among the people. It is said that he grew up in a nunnery. It was because he read Buddhist scriptures every day that he became enlightened. It is also said that he fell into the water once and was rescued by a god. Since then, it has been passed down that he has supernatural powers.

But looking at it now, this Lu Mengzheng is really trying to make excuses, at least his ambition is not inferior to others, he will definitely not doubt this Lu Mengzheng's talent and learning, you know, Lu Mengzheng was the number one scholar in history, Moreover, when the Donghuamen roll call, they should only be in their early thirties, which is already considered young among Jinshi.

Recommending him to Wang Pu is to leave a bond between the two of them. This fellow can hear the number one scholar by listening to him. If he can be taught by Wang Pu, what if he is over 20 and gets out?At that time, the two of them may not be completely useless.
