Lu Sanlang was a man who was very reluctant to get married, so when he was willing to talk about it, he would not let anyone stop him. During his last time in Nanyang, Lu Yun represented the Southern Kingdom in negotiating with the Northern Kingdom envoys, while secretly starting to arrange the marriage. When he told his brother Lu Erlang about the plan, Lu Erlang was extremely surprised and sighed, "You will be scolded by your grandparents."
How could a man marry a wife and then not stay at home but go to where the woman is?
Are you so eager? As if you are rushing to give it to someone.
Appear inferior.
Lu Yun didn't care. He had been trying to arrange this marriage since last September. Half a year had passed, and the Lu family had already succumbed to their stubbornness. Lu Yun wrote again and again, and Jianye reluctantly agreed to let Lu Sanlang get married in Nanyang. However, after the marriage, Lu Sanlang had to take his new wife back to Jianye to meet the elders and could no longer stay in Nanyang.
On the first day of mid-spring, after more than a month of difficult negotiations between the North and South, Ruyang was finally included in the South. The two sides conducted the second round of peace talks. For this, Han Mingzi, a subordinate official sent by the court, was insulted in a letter by Zhao Wang Liu Huai. Lu Yun was refreshed. After pushing forward government affairs for a while, he had some time to deal with his personal affairs. When the soldiers were stationed on the mountain for training, Lu Yun invited Luo Lingyu to get on the car and go with him to Taiziwang Mountain to comfort the soldiers.
Luo Lingyu's heart moved subtly and she agreed.
The war may stop now, but we must be vigilant against the North. Lu Yun went up the mountain to patrol and asked about the situation in the army. As a military officer, he could be considered to have fulfilled his responsibilities. Luo Lingyu followed him for a while, and then when Lu Yun talked to the soldiers, Luo Lingyu consciously avoided him.
At night I found myself staying in the military camp on the mountain.
Lu Yun brought fine wine from the mountain to reward the soldiers. A small banquet was held at night, and the soldiers stationed at the border took turns to attend the banquet and toast with Lu Sanlang. Luo Lingyu was surprised to find that Lu Yun seemed to be a little distant from these soldiers, but after living and eating together for so long, the noble man of the noble family also established a friendly relationship with these ordinary soldiers from humble backgrounds. The soldiers also admired Lu Sanlang very much.
At the night banquet, everyone was initially restrained by Lu Yun's status. After three rounds of drinks, several generals pushed and shoved to toast first: "General, I toast you a glass! When you came here before, we were hostile to you and teased you many times. We are really ashamed... Now we know that you are a man with great ambitions. We underestimated your mind!"
Lu Yun naturally returned the greeting.
Luo Lingyu knelt down, and although she was extremely beautiful, because she was Lu Sanlang's fiancée and Lu Sanlang was sitting not far away, the soldiers did not dare to come over and talk to her. She always felt uncomfortable. Luo Lingyu was unaware that while those rough men were drinking cold wine, she was slowly and happily brewing hot wine, drinking by herself in a corner. Occasionally, she looked up and saw Lu Yun's eyes were red and his eyes were clear as stars under the candlelight. Luo Lingyu could even turn her head and tell the maid: "Quietly advise the third cousin that he is not good at drinking and should not be drunk."
Lu Yun had something on his mind and didn't trust his drinking ability, so he naturally controlled his drinking and didn't want to get drunk. So he drank a few glasses of wine, and the maid Lingyu came to persuade him. Under the mocking eyes of the soldiers, Lu Yun remained calm and drank less and less.
He drank less, but the soldiers below him drank more. Soon they started to punch each other in groups of three or four, or got drunk and fell to the ground drinking. The soldiers were all drunk, and fewer people paid attention to him. Lu Yun stood up leisurely and walked towards Luo Lingyu, who was smiling in the corner.
After the soldiers drank, they dared to talk to Miss Luo. In the corner, several soldiers were urging Miss Luo to drink. Luo Lingyu picked up the wine bottle and put it to her lips. Before she drank it, a hand reached out from behind. Under the surprised and understanding eyes of everyone, Luo Lingyu tilted her head and saw the man behind her looking up, with a natural expression, and drank the glass of wine for her according to the lip marks on the bottle.
Everyone: “Oh…”
In this era, there was no strict separation between men and women, and it was common for men and women to meet in private. But in public, the intimacy between men and women would make some people smile knowingly or make a scene. The firelight flickered, and Luo Lingyu's face turned red at their teasing gazes, and her heart was pounding: Really, he drank from her wine bottle and openly teased her.
Lu Yun drank the wine and looked around: "I would like to borrow Sister Yu'er for a while. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone hurriedly said: "Join the army if you like!"
Luo Lingyu lowered her head and blushed as Lu Yun grabbed her wrist and dragged her up. She acted like a reluctant little girl and was dragged away by Lu Sanlang. The breeze was gentle as Lu Yun grabbed her hand and dragged Luo Lingyu away. His steps were steady and the night wind blew his breath to the girl behind him. The incense was light, accompanied by a faint aroma of wine.
Luo Lingyu was curious, but she didn't like walking around: "Brother Xuechen, where are you taking me? Do you have a gift for me? Why don't you bring it over to let me see it?"
Lu Yun turned around and taunted her, "Walking a few steps won't tire you out. If you keep sitting here, the whole spring day will be wasted."
Luo Lingyu secretly rolled her eyes at him, annoyed that he said she didn't like to move. No matter how much she didn't like to move, didn't she go out every day and never rest a few times? Even if she worked hard to gain a good reputation, didn't this good reputation benefit him? He still laughed at her, what an ungrateful person.
Lu Yun led Luo Lingyu around, out of the military camp, through the jungle, and up the hill. When they reached the edge of a cliff, the night fog was thick. Luo Lingyu looked down, and it was pitch black everywhere, and she could not see anything. Only the sky was full of stars, floating leisurely. Full of doubts, Lu Yun pulled her and walked towards a protruding rock at the cliff, which was as high as a person.
He let go of her wrist. Standing in front of the rock, Lu Yun took the tinder and lit it with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to brush away the branches, leaves, grass and dust on the rock. He raised his chin slightly and said softly, "Sister Yu'er, come and see."
Luo Lingyu stood behind him, and the torch in his hand shone on the clear rock wall. On the rock were sharp, vertical and horizontal lines, split left and right, with two paragraphs of words engraved.
Lu Yun didn't know when he had carved all the words she had always asked him to say but never had the chance to say on the rocks here -
