Chapter 134 But he is willing to change for his young wife
Lu Shao had a chat with Master Ji.
The other party customized a black chrysanthemum candle and a smaller version of the screen candle.
This was Lu Shao's suggestion based on what Master Ji had roughly said about the person to be given away.
Ji Songbai also ordered Eight Horses Candles.
At a previous literary gathering, Lian Yuanjie, the young master of the Lian family, showed off a painting of eight horses.
It surpasses Ji Songbai's painting of snow plums.
This time he wanted to get back at his pride, so he customized an Eight Horses candle and took it to show off at the literary conference.
The Eight Horses paintings are not uncommon, but the Eight Horses Candles are unique. I believe that they will blind Lian Yuanjie’s eyes.
Lu Shao wrote down the two people's requests, "Uncle Ji and Brother Ji want to customize the candles, I have noted it down."
He asked, "Do you want to send them one at a time, or send them all at once?"
Master Ji and Ji Songbai said in unison: "Make my custom order and send it over first."
Then the two looked at each other, "Dad/son, I'm waiting for it."
Lu Shao looked at the two people saying the same words again tacitly, and couldn't help but smile.
From this we can see that the relationship between father and son is really good.
He did not feel any envy in his heart, after all, he was no longer at the age where he needed a father.
My attitude towards my father went from expectation to disappointment, and then to indifference.
Master Ji turned to Lu Shao and said, "Don't listen to him. Please ask your wife to make my black chrysanthemum first. I want to wait to give it to someone."
“Can it be done within seven days?”
"The person I am sending away will stay in the county for about seven or eight days."
Lu Shao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this. I have to go back and ask my wife."
“We’ll try to do it within seven days if we can.”
It can be seen that the person that Master Ji is going to give Mo Ju to is very important.
Then he remembered the message he received in the morning and guessed who the other party was going to send it to.
The old man who likes chrysanthemums is the great scholar.
Master Ji smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you two."
He thought for a moment and reminded, “A few days ago, several people with extraordinary backgrounds came to the county town. An old man brought his students here for a tour.”
"If you are interested, you can find an opportunity to get in touch with them. It should be of great help to you on your path to the imperial examination."
He is still very optimistic about Lu Shao.
However, if he wanted to get in touch with the old man, he needed someone to introduce him to him, and he hasn't met that person yet.
After seeing the peony candle, I thought of customizing a unique candle and sending it to try and see if it can be a stepping stone to success.
So he could only give a few reminders but couldn't help much.
Lu Shao actually didn't expect that Master Ji would remind him of this.
He folded his hands and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Ji, for the reminder."
Mr. Ji had already prepared everything, and Lu Shao would ask who that old man was.
Who would have thought that Lu Shao was just thanking him for the reminder.
He also reacted immediately and laughed, "It seems that you already know that the old man is coming to the county town."
Lu Shao did not hide it, "I just heard about it this morning."
Master Ji realized that he had underestimated Lu Shao before.
Although the old man's coming was not a secret, not many people got the news.
He did not think that Lu Shao had found out the information himself, but guessed that the county magistrate might have told Lu Shao.
I thought that County Magistrate Lu really valued Lu Shao.
His son is good friends with Lu Shao, and he has the same vision as him.
He chatted with Lu Shao for a few more words and then left because of something else.
After he left, Ji Songbai smiled and said to Lu Shao: "If you didn't come today, I would have gone to the Lu family to find you tomorrow."
"I heard that the great scholar accepted disciples regardless of their status, only whether they had a good impression of each other."
"With a talent like you, I think there's still a chance."
He didn't lie to Lu Shao, but he really thought Lu Shao had a chance.
So I prepared to pass the message to Lu Shao.
The old man just came two days ago. There were too many people who came to the door after smelling the scent, but they were all rejected.
So these days are not a suitable time to look for opportunities.
His father wanted to make candles and send them to the old man, hoping that the visit would be successful, and also to see if he had a chance to become his apprentice.
But he felt there was little hope, and his father actually didn't hold out any hope either.
But even if I can't become his disciple, it would be good to get some guidance from the old man.
Lu Shao smiled and said, "I heard that the old man no longer accepts disciples, so whether to become his disciple or not depends on opportunity."
"If I win, I'm lucky. If I lose, I'm doomed. Just let it be."
After receiving the news, he really wanted to find an opportunity to contact the great scholar.
It would be best if he could become his disciple. He also admired this great scholar in his previous life.
If he missed the opportunity, he would not feel regretful.
This kind of thing depends on fate. There is no need to force it. Just let it take its course.
Ji Songbai smiled and patted Lu Shao on the shoulder, "I just admire your open-mindedness, brother Shao."
Lu Shao chatted with him for a few words and then said goodbye.
Ji Songbai smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why don't we have dinner together? I'll have someone take you back."
He really likes chatting with Lu Shao.
Lu Shao laughed: "Let's do it another day. My wife is also in the county today, and I want to go home with her."
Ji Songbai smiled when he heard it and said, "So you want to go back with your sister-in-law. Shao brother is really a good husband."
"Okay, then I won't keep you here today."
He personally saw Lu Shao out.
After Lu Shao left the Ji family, he went to the county magistrate's office again.
Previously, a bailiff had brought a message to Dalang, saying that Magistrate Lu asked him to come over in the next two days.
Sure enough, Magistrate Lu also revealed the news of the great scholar's arrival to Lu Shao.
Let him see for himself if he can find an opportunity to get in touch.
Although Magistrate Lu was the county magistrate, he was turned away when he went to pay a visit.
So there was no way to introduce Lu Shao.
Lu Shao naturally expressed his gratitude.
He also chatted with County Magistrate Lu about some recent events in the county and served as a consultant.
He calculated the time to leave, went to one place first, and then went to find Qiao Ye and the others.
He arrived at the ox cart first.
When he saw Qiao Ye supporting the old lady towards them, he was stunned at first.
But I soon realized the purpose of the young wife bringing the old lady home.
He got off the ox cart and greeted the old lady with a smile, "Grandma!"
Then he asked with concern: "Why have you lost weight?"
I also learned this from my young wife. Whether you really care or not is up to you, but you have to show it on your face.
Only in this way can they gradually and completely win the old lady's heart to their side.
He had never felt any resentment or hatred towards the people of the Lu family, because he had never had any feelings for them in the first place.
Now he is only trying to integrate into the Lu family because of his young wife.
So I still have no feelings for the old lady and others.
But he is willing to change for his young wife. At least on the surface he will be a good grandson and nephew.
Sure enough, the old lady liked her grandson more and more.
When she heard these words, she just felt happy, because it meant that her grandson cared about her.
She smiled and said, "Your stepmother's cooking is so terrible. I have no appetite lately."
"It's also thanks to your wife that she often asks Dalang and the others to bring me food. Otherwise, I would have become even thinner."
Lu Shao walked over and supported the old lady's other side.
"Grandma has suffered a lot. When we get home, please ask Auntie San to make more delicious food for you to nourish you."
It’s such a hot day, so there’s no need to trouble my wife to cook.
The old lady smiled and patted his hands, "You are still filial, much better than your father and stepmother."
Lu Shao smiled and didn't respond.
The old lady could scold his father and stepmother, but he couldn't follow suit outside.
The group returned in a ox cart.
After arriving home, Lu Shao and his wife looked at each other tacitly, and it was obvious that they both had something to tell each other.
So they went back to the room together under the pretext of taking a rest.
