231, Three Rules
231, Three Rules
Lu Mingfei stared at Zhao Lang. The young master was wearing purple today, and even the crown on his head was inlaid with purple gems.
Purple is a color that is a bit difficult to control, especially for men. If they wear purple clothes, it will look out of place. But the young master's purple clothes are not only not out of place, but also look very noble.
Even though he has a very ordinary face, the young master's temperament is still hard to conceal.
This is what beauty means, isn't it? Lu Mingfei couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you staring at me and smiling?" Obviously, Zhao Lang also noticed that Lu Mingfei was looking at him, and he was smiling at him... with a strange look on his face?
"No, I'm not laughing." Lu Mingfei stopped smiling and shook his head.
Zhao Lang raised his hand and flicked Lu Jieyuan on the forehead, "You're lying with your eyes open."
"..." Lu Mingfei covered his forehead which was hurt by the bullet and glanced at Zhao.
Thinking of something, he stretched out three fingers, walked up to Zhao Lang, and said, "Zhao Lang, we need to make three rules."
"Hmm? What kind of agreement do you want to make with me?" Zhao Lang held the hand that was extended in front of him and squeezed back several of Lu Jieyuan's fingers.
Lu Mingfei pulled his hand out of Zhao Lang's, raised a finger, and said, "First of all, from now on, you are not allowed to kiss me or hug me casually, and you are not allowed to take off my clothes without my permission."
"Mingfei, if I remember correctly, you always rank first in arithmetic in the monthly exams, right?" Zhao Lang looked at Lu Jieyuan with suspicion and pointed out, "You've already made three requests."
"..." Lu Mingfei, who was suspected of being bad at arithmetic, was angry. "Just tell me, do you agree or not?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do it. I can't promise you." Zhao Lang answered very honestly, with a smile on his face as he looked at the angry Lu Jieyuan. What should he do? He thought the angry Lu Jieyuan was cute, so he wanted to deliberately make Lu Jieyuan angry.
“…” Lu Mingfei, what should he do if he gets angry again?
"I'm telling the truth. I can't lie to you, right?" Looking at Lu Jieyuan's angry yet helpless look, Zhao Lang felt inexplicably good.
Seeing that Lu Jieyuan was so angry that he looked like he didn't want to talk to him, Zhao Lang couldn't help but tease Lu Jieyuan, "What else do you want? Come up with them, maybe there's something I can do?"
"Secondly, you can't keep disturbing me while I'm preparing for the palace exam." Lu Mingfei didn't want to lose his chance of becoming a Jinshi just because of a love affair.
Zhao Lang didn't immediately say he couldn't do it. He rubbed his chin with his fingers and asked Lu Jieyuan, "What do you mean you can't come every year? I can come once every three days, right?"
At this time, none of them had any doubts about whether Lu Mingfei could pass the imperial examination.
Even Lu Mingfei himself didn't think he would fail the imperial examination. He was quite confident in his answers. If he couldn't pass, he would doubt the fairness of the imperial examination.
If the imperial court could even cheat in the imperial examinations, then there was no need for him to continue taking the exams.
"Okay." Lu Mingfei nodded and continued, "The third point is, you can't take me to bed before I reach adulthood."
"...Okay." Facing Lu Jieyuan's gaze, Zhao Lang agreed with difficulty.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Lu Mingfei stared at Zhao Lang, afraid that he was playing word games with him. "I heard that if a man does that too early, it will affect his growth. I think I can still grow taller."
His eyes fell on Zhao Lang's head.
He had grown quite a bit from last year to this year, but compared to Zhao Lang, he was still half a head shorter. Zhao Lang's height was truly enviable!
"Pfft..." Zhao Lang stopped laughing halfway when he saw Lu Jieyuan's warning look.
Seeing Lu Jieyuan's warning, he quickly restrained his expression and nodded seriously, "Okay, I understand what you mean."
"You're not allowed to ask others to do these things. Maintaining chastity is an important standard of male virtue." Lu Mingfei knew that people in this era married young, many at the age of fifteen or sixteen. This was especially true for the young masters of wealthy families, some of whom had sex at the age of twelve or thirteen, and some even became fathers at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
However, he had visited Prince Ding's mansion many times and knew that apart from a servant and a group of guards, there seemed to be no other women around Zhao Lang.
So, Zhao Lang wouldn't be like those young masters from aristocratic families who would have several maids in their rooms to warm their beds at the age of twelve or thirteen. If Zhao Lang had a large group of maids in his room at such a young age, he wouldn't have accepted Zhao Lang's confession yesterday and agreed to be with this man.
This time, Zhao Lang answered without hesitation, "Okay, I promise there's no one else besides you."
They had already discussed this issue yesterday.
Zhao Lang had finally convinced the person he loved to be with him. It was impossible for him to lose his self-control and look for someone outside. If he wanted a woman outside, how many women would he not be able to get? But for so many years, he had never had any woman around him. The biggest reason was that he already had someone he loved in his heart.
He didn't want anyone except Lu Mingfei, no matter if it was a man or a woman.
The two looked at each other, and Lu Mingfei smiled when he saw the seriousness in Zhao Lang's eyes and face.
That day, the two of them had this meal for a long time.
***
After dinner, the two had nothing to do, so they walked together to the yard bought by Zhao Lang next door.
The yard here is relatively empty and looks bigger than the yard on their side.
With nothing to do, Lu Mingfei hung a target here, and the two of them practiced shooting here.
But after practicing for a while, Zhao Lang felt bored, so he discussed with Lu Jieyuan: "Just shooting like this is boring, why don't we have a competition? By the way, let's test your current archery skills."
"Just tell me, what prize do you want?" How could Lu Mingfei not see what this man was planning?
"We'll play two out of three. If you win, I can agree to any of your requests. If I win, how about... you give me a kiss?" Zhao Lang looked at Lu Jieyuan with a smile in his eyes, as if he was sure that he would win.
"..." Lu Mingfei looked at the man who did not hide his purpose at all, with a face that was both amusing and helpless.
"You started practicing archery when you were three years old. How can I compete with you?" The two of them competed in archery, and it was obvious that he, the student, would lose to the teacher.
"I can blindfold myself, you don't have to." Zhao Lang said.
Lu Mingfei touched his chin and laughed, looking at Zhao Lang with undisguised calculation in his eyes, "You said that."
"Of course." Zhao Lang looked confident.
"You go first or me?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"You first." Zhao Lang made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Mingfei used a crossbow. Compared to traditional bows, he was more accustomed to using a crossbow of his own design. This time, he was holding the second improved version of the crossbow. The second improved version of the crossbow was smaller than the first batch, but had a longer range and greater power.
Aiming the crossbow at the target hanging on the wall, he pulled the trigger.
"puff--"
The iron arrow flew out, pierced into the target, and directly shot through the target.
He shot three arrows in a row, two of which were outside the bull's eye and one was right on it. When he finished shooting, he glanced at the person watching him shoot, who had an expression that said he was doomed to fail.
“…” Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei was so angry that he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered Zhao Lang's eyes with it.
After blindfolding Zhao Lang, he grabbed Zhao Lang's hand and pulled Zhao Lang around several times.
"..." Zhao Lang, "What are you doing..."
"You didn't say I couldn't pull you around in circles, did you?" Lu Mingfei took the bow from the guard and put it into Zhao Lang's hand. "It's your turn, shoot."
"But don't aim it at us."
It feels a bit dangerous standing next to Zhao Lang.
After glancing around, his eyes landed on Zhao Lang's back. He ran over and pressed against Zhao Lang's back, "Okay, shoot now."
“…” Zhao Lang.
He stood there and listened for a while, then turned half a circle, raised the bow in his hand, put on the arrow, pulled and released it, and the arrow flew out.
Three arrows in a row.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Lu Mingfei took a look and saw that after shooting three arrows, only one arrowhead remained on the target, and the other two arrowheads fell to the ground.
The reason was that the two arrows Zhao Lang shot later directly split the arrows left on the target.
"Well? Are you willing to accept the loss?" Zhao Lang took off the cloth covering his eyes, glanced at the target, then looked at Lu Jieyuan standing beside him. He put his face in front of Lu Jieyuan and pointed his finger at his face... mouth. "Kiss here for it to count."
“…” Looking at the handsome face that appeared in front of him, this time it was Lu Mingfei’s turn to be speechless.
This person is so hateful!
He held Zhao Lang's face with both hands, deliberately squeezed the flesh of Zhao Lang's cheeks to the middle, naturally making Zhao Lang's mouth pout to the middle, and then he kissed it.
"Come again!" He didn't believe it.
"Okay, let's do it again." Zhao Lang said with a smile.
That night, Lu Mingfei spent the whole night learning one thing, that is, don't compete with your master in archery, because as a student, he cannot beat his master!
…Although, apart from his mouth being numb from being kissed by someone, he didn’t lose anything!!!
When Zhao Lang finally left, he said to Lu Jieyuan in a very cheerful mood, "I'll come see you again in two days."
"Goodbye." Lu Mingfei looked at the expression on someone's face that looked like he wanted to be beaten. If he wasn't accused of not being able to accept defeat if he hit someone now, he really wanted to beat Zhao Lang up!
After watching Zhao Lang's carriage leave, he closed the door of the yard.
As he turned around and walked back into the house, he couldn't help but laugh. Shaking his head, he stepped into the room.
At this time, Zhao Lang, who was sitting in the carriage, also had a smile on his lips. He reached out and touched his lips, and the smile on his face deepened.
