Chapter 198 Come here!
Lu Zheng and Hua Hanjun are very close, but no one thinks they are intimate.
If it weren't for the absurdity of that night last night, Lu Zheng himself wouldn't think that there was anything wrong with the two of them. Hua Hanjun's temperament is like this. He is more beautiful than Hua, and his style is bold, and he hides his sword in his smile.
If she smiled, there would definitely be a knife hidden behind her. It was not the first time that she and Lu Zheng had a confrontation. In the eyes of the Zhang family, Lu Zheng and his second grandmother were mortal enemies. The confrontation between the two has never been unusual. Just like today, they are afraid of humans and animals, and they seem to be close to each other. In fact, there are still some sword lights and sword shadows hidden in the secret.
Old Man Yan left, and he left something for Lu Zheng in the end. A piece of broken jade and a man named "Boy". Lu Zheng put away the jade, but he already understood in his heart that Old Man Yan's actions were deliberately and had already arranged it.
If Lu Zheng could be more sensitive and alert, he might be able to notice it. Unfortunately, after Lu Zheng was defeated by Xiao Sanyuan, he was proud of his youth and was happy with Liu Wan's affection, which made him even more glamorous, which eventually led to his surprise.
"Second sister-in-law, since you care about my affairs, it's just right that I will leave this share in Cross Street to help me take care of. There is also the house on the other side of Zhishui Academy, which is a royal reward and is temporarily inconvenient to sell, so I will also leave it to you for maintenance and settlement. I wonder if my second sister-in-law will be satisfied with this?"
As soon as Lu Zheng said this, Hua Hanjun giggled and said, "This is almost the same. Don't worry, the cross street business will definitely become more and more prosperous in my hands. Your benefits will definitely be indispensable!"
Hua Hanjun smiled, and the people who were seeing him off breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Zheng boarded the boat and looked at everyone with his fists, saying, "There is no banquet in the world that will last. Lu Zheng returned to Jiangning this time and didn't know when he would have the chance to come back again. The green mountains are always there and the green water flows forever. After this parting, I only hope to meet again in the future!"
Lu Zheng said these words freely and easily, but many people who saw him off could not help but shed tears. Zhang Jing choked and said, "Brother Zheng, after you have high school juren, I must go to Jiangning to celebrate you. Looking back, you and my brother must not return without getting drunk!"
The boatman raised his sails, and the boat slowly sailed away from the dock. Above the New Town River Painting Boat, a woman's singing suddenly came:
"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, yellow grass and blue sky..."
Lu Zheng was shocked, and everyone who saw him off could not help but look at the pleasure boat where the singing sounded, and someone exclaimed:
"It's Qilan, Qilan, everyone is seeing Mr. Lu off!"
Qilan plays the piano, and the music is strange. This lyrics were exactly the lyrics that Lu Zheng sang on Yushan yesterday. I think Zi Yan passed this song and the lyrics to Qilan. This lyrics were sung by Qilan, and the sadness and desolation were even more touching.
Lu Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, and the shadow behind him was already crying. On the pleasure boat in the distance, the bold girl named Xiaodie behind Qilan was also burst into tears.
I still remember that this season last year, outside Hengwu Bookstore, Lu Zheng was still unknown at that time. A young man and a girl were on the shore and a man on the boat. I had to meet each other every morning. Every time, Xiaodie poured a basin of foot washing water in the direction of Lu Zheng...
Time flies, and a year has passed, and the situation at that time has become a memory. The boy does not recognize the taste of sorrow, but because it is not time to part, many scenes appear in Lu Zheng's mind. His eyes quickly move away from the pleasure boat. He looks around, and the familiar scenery on both sides of the shore quickly passes away. He finally can't help it anymore, his eyes are red and tears are drifting in the wind.
Yangzhou, Lu Zheng will never forget it!
...
Jinling and Qinhuai River are quiet on the banks of the Qinhuai River. From Yingtian to Jiangning, the Qinhuai River is the only way to go.
Lu Qian was sitting in the sedan chair, and the sedan chair stopped. Hong Shen respectfully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said, "Master, you can change the car!"
From Yingtian to Jiangning, the journey is long. If it takes more than an hour to sit in a sedan chair, and you have to change the sedan chair driver in the middle, so Lu Qian abandoned the sedan chair and changed the carriage after leaving the east gate every day.
Just outside the east gate, the Lu family built a house, which was specially designed to facilitate the Lu family's father and son to attend court on weekdays. This house is called the Lu family's Western Mansion. Lu Qian lived in the Western Mansion almost half of the year.
Getting out of the sedan chair, Lu Qian saw Hong Shen at a glance, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a gutter: "Are you back?"
Hong Shen said: "I'm back, it's just the master... but the third young master's slave cannot bring it back. I'm just the servant's incompetence..."
Hong Shen immediately told Lu Qian about his experience in Yangzhou. He tried his best to downplay Zhang's mother's meaning and strengthen Lu Zheng's own ideas. Lu Zheng is now famous in Yangzhou and everyone calls him a talented man. He doesn't want to come back at all!
Hong Shen is an old fox. He has been with Lu Qian for about twenty years. He knows Lu Qian's temper very well, so he grasps just the right way to speak in front of Lu Qian.
Sure enough, when Lu Qian heard what Hong Shen said, he was furious and said coldly: "Hmph, do this kid really thinks his wings are hard? It's so outrageous. Even I have to forget about it. How can my Lu family tolerate such an unfilial son?"
Lu Qian was angry, so Hong Shen stopped talking. He carefully served Lu Qian into the carriage, and then drove the carriage to Lu's house in Jiangning by himself.
This time Hong Shen did not get any results in his trip to Yangzhou. He was very unhappy. In addition, the second wife, Mrs. Zhang, had given instructions before going there, so Hong Shen naturally did not forget to put eye drops in front of Lu Qian when he came back.
In his opinion, Lu Zheng may be a bit talented, but what kind of family is the Lu family? Are there few talented people in the third generation of the Lu family?
Let’s not talk about Lu Ning, who is already a Jinshi in high school. He is a benchmark among the younger generation of the Zhang family. Just say that Lu Zheng’s legitimate brother Lu Jun was a scholar a few years ago. If his ambition was not studying, Lu Jun might have already chased Lu Ning!
Among the same age as Lu Zheng, Lu Yan, Lu Tao, and Lu Zhen, who are also from the fourth room, have all been awarded scholars and become students. Lu Zheng has just become a young scholar. What's the matter?
A concubine's son cannot inherit the rights of the family. When he becomes an adult, the family just seeks a way out for him. The prosperity and glory of the family has nothing to do with him.
Not to mention that Lu Zheng is just a scholar, even if Lu Zheng is a Jinshi, without the support of powerful forces behind him, he will be a small official for the rest of his life. In the eyes of the Lu family, what is that?
Hong Shen drove his car, and he was speechless all the way. The carriage drove to the Lu family in Jiangning and Lu family in Jiangning. It was a big lintel. Two bluestone lions more than meter high were majestic at the door. The big archway at the main entrance was ten feet high, with carved beams and beautiful. There were more than a dozen gatehouses standing at the door, all in dark clothes. When Lu Qian's car arrived, everyone lined up in sequence, and the formation was amazing.
Hong Shen slowed down the car, and Lu Qian said "Hmm" and said, "Stop!"
The car was steady, Hong Shen jumped out of the car and bent down and lifted the curtain, saying, "Master, do you have anything to order?"
Lu Qian said: "Why are there so many scholars gathering over there?"
After Lu Qian said this, Hong Shencai saw four or five scholars wearing long gowns whispering to each other on the other side of the ear door. He suddenly realized in his heart and hurriedly said, "Master, let the servant go over and ask?"
"No need, I'll go over and talk to them!"
The second master of the Lu family is famous in Jiangning. His biggest name is the wise and nobles. He has countless visitors. When he saw scholars gathering at the door, how could he not ask about Lu Qian's personality?
Several scholars at the door saw the movement here and hurried over to salute Lu Qian.
Seeing Lu Qian wearing a replenishment from a fifth-rank official, one of the scholars said excitedly: "Are you the Tongzheng Envoy Lu Qian Lu?"
Lu Qian was the deputy envoy of Tongzheng, the Tongzheng Department of the Southern Dynasty. This scholar deliberately did not say the word "subunit", so he naturally had the meaning of being pleased. Seeing that these people were talking well, Lu Qian was very happy and said:
"I am Lu Qian. I wonder what happened to my friends when I came to the Lu family? The scholars in the world are family. My friends do not need to be polite, but they have something to ask for, so they say it outright. As long as my Lu family can do, there is no reason to refuse."
Lu Qian looked at the expressions of the people and thought they were short of money, or wanted to come to the Lu family to fight for the autumn wind. This is something that the Lu family can often encounter. Lu Qian has always been very tolerant of such things, and his reputation as a polite and polite person is because of this!
"Master Lu, I misunderstood! I came here to hear that Master Lu Zheng, the son of Lord Lu Zheng, returned to Jiangning from Yangzhou. We all admired Mr. Lu's name and came here to see the true face of the master!" A talented man in the lead bowed, his tone very sincere.
As soon as he said this, a talented man behind him said, "That's right, Brother Bian said our thoughts. He liked poetry and was fortunate to read Mr. Lu Zheng's masterpiece "Toast". He was amazed. Today I also want to see the master's style!"
"Uh..." Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, and he was frozen on the spot and didn't know how to speak. Hong Shen behind him was even more pale. What's going on?
How did Lu Zheng go back to Jiangning? How did it spread? Also, what's so great about Lu Zheng? Has his reputation actually affected Jiangning?
Lu Qian was in a difficult situation, so he had to explain the fact that Lu Zheng did not return home to several talented men, and said, "Several friends, since they have come to their homes, please go to the hall to talk. I will arrange for someone to prepare wine and food immediately. Today I will ask the friends to sing and drink..."
Lu Qian was halfway through the words, and the talented man named Bian said, "Mr. Lu, no need! Alas..." He stomped his feet hard: "It seems that the news I got was a rumor, but a pity! Since Mr. Lu Zheng is not here, I will not bother you, so I will say goodbye!"
After he said that, he turned around and left. The other talents were extremely disappointed and said goodbye to Lu Qian. In a blink of an eye, four or five talents left without a trace. Under the huge door archway, only Lu Qian and his servant stood there.
"Hong Shen, you've been to Yangzhou this time!" Lu Qian said lightly. His eyes looked at Hong Shen cold. Hong Shen felt a chill on his back, and he couldn't help but shivered.
