Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 573: The Portrait Lu Xun Prepared for Zhang Sui

After Gu Yong and Sheng Xian finished drinking, Gu Yong sent Sheng Xian to the carriage, while he rode away on his horse and returned all the way to Gu's home in Wu County.

There were already servants waiting at the door.

Seeing Gu Yong coming back, the servants hurried to greet him.

Someone took away Gu Yong's war horse.

Someone handed over a sheepskin bag of warm water.

Gu Yong took the sheepskin bag of hot water and put it in his arms, and asked, "What are Boyan and Ji'er doing?"

The servant followed Gu Yong and said with a smile, "Master Ji is in the school, and Master Xun is reading in his room."

"Recently, some people in the clan have compared Butcher Sun and Xuzhou Mu Zhang Sui."

"Master Xun is very interested in Zhang Sui, the governor of Xuzhou, and has been searching for information everywhere to understand his personality and behavior."

"After all, the governor of Xuzhou is only a few years older than Master Xun."

Gu Yong nodded.

After entering the house and going through many twists and turns, Gu Yong stopped at the door of a room on the west side and knocked gently on the door and said, "Bo Yan, I'm in?"

A voice with a duck voice came from inside: "Uncle, please come in!"

Gu Yong pushed the door open and went in.

By the window of the room, sitting next to a square table, was a tall and strong young man with a dull look.

The young man's face looked a little childish.

At this moment, he was holding a set of heavy bamboo slips in his hands.

The bamboo slips clearly read "Born into a peasant family in Yanmen, Bingzhou, and became a disciple of Ding Yuan, the former governor of Bingzhou, and Tian Feng, the deputy governor of Jizhou."

Gu Yong walked over, his eyes fell on the bamboo slips, and sat down on the bench next to the young man. He smiled and said, "Are you very interested in this Xuzhou governor, Boyan?"

Boyan is the grandson of the younger brother of Lu Kang, Gu Yong's father-in-law, and the courtesy name of the young man in front of him.

In his early years, he followed Lu Kang to study in Lujiang County.

After Sun Ce captured Lujiang County and Lu Kang was killed in the battle, Lu Xun, Lu Ji and other clansmen were captured by Sun Ce.

After Gu Yong knew about this, he found Zhou Yu through their schoolmate friendship and used the influence of the Gu and Lu families in Jiangdong to ensure the safety of Lu Xun, Lu Ji and others.

However, afterwards, Gu Yong did not let Lu Xun and Lu Ji return to the Lu family, but kept them by his side to train them.

The Lu family is now in a precarious situation, and no one can predict whether Sun Ce will take action against the Lu family.

Only the Gu family is still safe for the time being.

For this reason, Lu Xun's name was also changed.

Originally Lu Xun was called Lu Yi.

After he came to the Gu family, Gu Yong changed his name to Lu Xun.

Xun comes from "Wei Xing Yan Xun" in "The Analects of Confucius", which means obedience.

Gu Yong used Lu Xun's name change to tell Sun Ce that Lu Xun would not seek revenge but would only obey the will of the strong.

Lu Xun is a genius among the geniuses of the Lu family.

When Lu Kang was alive, he praised his son-in-law Gu Yong more than once.

When Lu Xun heard Gu Yong's question, his face showed no expression, but he nodded and said, "He can severely injure Sun Ce and defeat Lu Bu."

"I heard that Jizhou's deputy governor Tian Feng has a very bad temper."

"However, Tian Feng settled down in Xiapi, Xuzhou."

“I want to know what kind of person this is.”

Gu Yong said: "That's great, we have a chance this time."

"I plan to hide in the caravan tomorrow and rush to Xuzhou Xiapi to see if I can meet him."

"If you want to see him, get ready and come with me tomorrow."

On Lu Xun's dull face, a pair of eyes finally lit up and asked, "Really?"

Gu Yong reached out his hand, touched his head and said, "Of course it's true."

"Now that Jiangdong has changed, I have to go visit him once."

"One of his concubines is the eldest daughter of my husband, Lord Cai."

"If we can ask him for help, perhaps our Jiangdong will have a different situation."

Lu Xun nodded heavily.

Gu Yong looked at his somewhat excited appearance and shook his head. As the head of the Gu family, a prominent family in Jiangdong, he was also young and promising in the eyes of many people.

In his eyes, nothing could cause any ripples.

Gu Yong originally wanted to continue talking to Lu Xun about the dangers of this trip: once discovered by Sun Ce's men, they might face life-and-death danger.

However, Lu Xun, who had always been steady, obviously lost his patience.

Although he still maintained a dull expression, he looked serious and obedient.

However, he would occasionally glance at the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, Gu Yong didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Xun.

Gu Yong said softly, "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll leave first. I'll come and inform you before I leave tomorrow."

Lu Xun hummed.

Gu Yong signaled Lu Xun to continue with his work, and he left the room and closed the door.

The moment he closed the door, he clearly saw Lu Xun hurriedly fetching pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Gu Yong laughed at himself.

This Xuzhou Mu is quite interesting.

No one had ever seen it, so it attracted a group of young people.

Even Boyan, who is usually a steady man, is so impatient.

This is clearly a letter to him.

Gu Yong was very curious about what Boyan was going to write to the Governor of Xuzhou.

After Gu Yong left, Lu Xun flattened four pieces of Zuobo paper and glued them together with rice grains.

Only then did he begin to grind the ink.

After grinding the ink, Lu Xun picked up the brush and began to paint carefully on the Saeki paper.

His face became hot unconsciously.

Soon, even the neck turned red.

Under his brush, a plump woman lies on the bed, looking around with a radiant look.

She was wearing only a silk scarf wrapped around her chest.

Below the abdomen, the veil is hazy.

Two long legs were casually draped over the end of the bed.

The two delicate little feet were playfully raised up, as if they were ready to move at any time.

After Lu Xun finished painting, he picked up the dye and painted the woman.

After doing all this, Lu Xun took the portrait and placed it on the stove to dry the ink.

Spreading the dried portrait flat on the four-cornered octagonal table, Lu Xun looked at the woman in the portrait, blushing and muttering, "He will like this, right?"

"I saw the portrait he taught Second Master Sima to draw, and it was also like this."

"My skills are not worse than those of the Second Master Sima."

After examining it carefully for a while and making sure that he was satisfied with every aspect, Lu Xun found other materials, inlaid the women drawn on the four pieces of Saeki paper on the scroll, and carefully rolled it up.

Before I finished rolling the paper, I saw the door being pushed open.

Lu Xun shivered with fear and was about to roll up the scroll quickly.

After all, he still couldn't bear to give up.

If the portrait was damaged, he would cry to death.

Outside the door that was pushed open, a boy of about twelve or thirteen walked in humming a little tune.

Lu Ji, Lu Xun's uncle, was the youngest son of Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang County.

Lu Ji immediately spotted a playful woman's foot on the scroll.

Lu Ji rushed over and said in amazement: "Boyan, you are also in love! I didn't expect that you are such a flirt."

"Which girl do you like? Why don't you tell your brother-in-law, but secretly draw her portrait behind her back?"

"Hurry up, show me!"

Lu Xun carefully rolled up the scroll, pushed away Lu Ji with his hand, and said, “It’s not what you think!”
