The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 119 Cherishing the garden, Xu Miao is not insignificant

The Cherish Garden in the Lu Mansion has different appearances in different seasons. It is late autumn now, so Chrysanthemum, one of the Four Gentlemen, is naturally indispensable.

Thousand-headed chrysanthemum with strong reproductive ability and colorful flowers give people a feeling of prosperity and tranquility. It contains family affection, longevity and blessings;
The golden yellow chrysanthemum flowers are graceful and elegant, giving people a warm and romantic feeling, elegant and unique.

The stems of the black chrysanthemum are tall and straight, without branches, and the leaves are pinnately lobed and half-cracked, covered with white fluff on the surface, and the black-purple flower buds are never lacking in appreciation.

The people who came to the banquet were overjoyed, dressed in plain clothes today, or gathered together in threes and fives, stopped by the flowing water, talked in twos and threes, or wandered in front of the bamboo, thinking of a famous poem not long ago.

Lu Changsheng wore a new dress, and was supported by the maids to Zhixi Garden. Today, he is much thinner than a few months ago. There is no trace of blood on his pale face, with protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and a gloomy appearance. His dull eyes stayed on every chrysanthemum in Xiyuan.

"Go and stay aside!" Lu Changsheng coughed from time to time, covered his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief, retreated two maids, forced a smile on his face, and saluted everyone who came to celebrate.

After a while, Lu Changsheng's body couldn't hold it anymore, and he took a nostalgic glance at the bustling Xiyuan. The chrysanthemums here are just right, and the people are good. Since autumn, Lu Changsheng usually lies on the bed, and it is the first time The next time I come, I'm afraid I won't see you next year.

Lu Changsheng coughed violently a few times, bowed his body and covered his mouth. In pain, he noticed a trampled unknown wild chrysanthemum at his feet. The yellow flower like a small umbrella was missing half of its leaf. People love it, but its vitality is so tenacious.

Lu Shijun in the pavilion looked not far away through the veil that was blown by the wind through the turbid eyes, looked at Lu Changsheng who was at the foot of the wild chrysanthemum, his heart was like the veil that was flying, and he was in a trance .

"Longevity is gone, and I will return in good health, so don't worry!" Dr. Xu comforted.

"That's great!" Lu Shijun cast his gaze away, lost in thought.

Lu Qin, Zhang Yong and others were also in Xiyuan. They caused such a big incident last time and were severely punished by various families. They are still under confinement. Today is a special case, so they found a remote place in Xiyuan In the place, talk and drink, talk to each other, and complain about Xiao Qinzhi by the way, after all, he is the culprit!

This place was chosen very well, it could not only avoid people's eyes and ears, but also happened to be able to see all the people entering and leaving the Garden of Cherishing, just after the few people complained about Xiao Qinzhi, they turned their heads and saw Xu Miao coming to the banquet.

Alone!
"Xu Xianmin, stop!" Lu Qin shouted.

Xu Miao stood still and followed the voice, only then did he realize that it was Lu Qin and his party, and said in his heart: "These people have suffered a big loss from brother Qin before, and they have not seen anyone for two months, but they showed up today. Could it be that you are looking for trouble?"

"Let me ask you, where is Xiao Qin's man?" Lu Qin asked aggressively.

Xu Miao and Xiao Qinzhi, after experiencing the major events that happened in the past few months, their horizons have improved a lot. If in the past, they still had a little fear of these people, but now they don't pay attention to them, and said frankly : "Brother Qin is sick, so it's inconvenient to come."

"Sick, sick again, he's been sick for so long, why hasn't he recovered? In the past two months, Wu people have been rejected for no reason. , I don’t even pay attention to me, Mrs. Lu, I’m so defiant, how courageous!!” Lu Qin came up with his big hat on and asked sternly.

Xu Miao calmly said with a smile in his heart: "Brother Qin doesn't even look down on Wang Xianzhi, why should you say you are from Wu? If it wasn't for my father's face this time, it might be for Lu Shijun's face." I won't give it either." Seriously, he said: "This statement is wrong. I am very happy today. Brother Qin is sick, so he got up to attend the banquet. Wouldn't it be bad luck?"

Seeing that Xu Miao talked properly, neither humble nor overbearing, completely without the humbleness of the past, he looked like another Xiao Qinzhi, which made Lu Qin even more angry, and thought: "Xiao Qinzhi is still a gentleman after all, you Xu Xianmin is just a poor family, Where do you have the qualifications to speak eloquently in front of us?"

"Xu Xianmin, I haven't seen you for two months, but I've grown a lot more courageous, and dared to gossip and put on airs in front of us. I think you need to learn a lesson."

Xu Miao said in a deep voice, "Don't dare!"

Zhang Yong sneered and said: "You are very daring. Together with Xiao Qinzhi, you designed us and solved He Shu and the others. It is really amazing. I, Zhang Yong, will write down this ugliness, and I will definitely return it in the future."

Xu Miao pretended to be confused and said: "Brother Qin has always been pure and simple, with a simple mind, and he doesn't know how to do these things. As for me, it is even more impossible. I am afraid that there is some misunderstanding in the middle, or the villain is provoking, please check carefully. Don't fall into the trap of a traitor."

Xiao Qinzhi, who is pure and simple, with a simple mind, is the biggest lie Lu Qin has heard. He even feels that Xu Miao is insulting his IQ. A huge sum of money went north, and Wu land was empty of talents. It was a big joke, saying that Xiao Qinzhi was a treacherous, cunning and obscene person, which is not an exaggeration at all.

"Go back and tell Xiao Qinzhi that this matter is endless, and when we go out, we must make him look good." Lu Qin said viciously.

Nowadays, players at Lu Qin's level don't make any waves in Xu Miao's eyes. They are just anointed children relying on their family background. They are nothing to be afraid of, and they can be grounded for a long time with a little trick.

"I'll deliver the message." Xu Miao saluted, not taking it seriously, looked into the distance, and declined, "Let's go somewhere else first, see you later."

Looking at Xu Miao's generous back, Lu Qin felt a great heartache. They were never underestimated in the past, but now even Xu Miao dares to ignore them, a noble family like them. Angrily, he insulted: "Xu Xianmin, your father is just a dog raised by my uncle, and you will also be a dog raised by Xiao Qinzhi in the future. Both of you father and son are destined to be dogs, hahahaha"

Lu Qin's voice was so loud that all eyes in Xiyuan cast their eyes on the insulted young man. He stood in a daze in the corridor, dressed in green, in the graceful and luxurious Xiyuan. Thin and helpless.

No one speaks out for him, no one argues against him, even an occasional glance or two of pity doesn't help at all, who would be willing to offend Lu Qin for him?

Xu Miao stopped walking when he heard that, and happened to see his father standing beside Lu Shijun in the pavilion ahead. In an instant, his heart was stabbed deeply, and his defenses were broken. Completely erupted, the scarlet eyes looked back at Lu Qin, and chanted loudly: "Thirty to the east of the river, forty to the west of the river, no one is forever young, don't bully the young and poor. Your wealth today is just under the guise of the shade of your ancestors , It’s not worth mentioning, how can today’s wealth surpass my hands tomorrow? The name of the third generation is not as good as the name of the first generation, let me cast the name of my first generation Xu with my own hands!”

Xu Miao stopped there, and bowed to the husband in the pavilion, without saying a word, then returned the same way, ignoring the complicated eyes, passed in front of Lu Qin and the others, and walked away, letting the insults be heard After the staged, don't listen or ask.

After leaving the Cherish Garden, Xu Miao's body was bathed in the warm autumn sun. The blue clothes were not warmed by the sun, and the anger in Xu Miao's heart slowly settled in the slight coldness in the air.

Xu Miao did not go back, but came to the Fenghe River alone, looked to the north, and suddenly made a decision to take a completely different path from his father, cross the river in front of him, and make contributions to the north.
