Chapter 257 Lu Qian's Annoyance!
Gu Huitang impressed the old man with his stubbornness. He was very happy and seemed to have a floating body.
After leaving the old man's study, he went straight to the Qinhuai River without stopping. The Courtesan Competition was a huge crisis for the Gu family, but in Gu Huitang's eyes, this was the stage for him to show his talents.
He not only wants to make the Gu family win, but also let the elders of the Gu family see their talents. More importantly, he wants to use this opportunity to strive to win the heart of Miss Fan Duoduo. He wants to make Biyun Pavilion's top card and the No. 1 Courtesan of Jinling become his woman.
Gu Huitang left, Gu Shenghai looked ugly, he leaned over to the old man and said, "Father, you..."
Gu Tianyang gently raised his hand and interrupted him, saying lightly: "Fourth, you have to remember that it is better to be careless than to be in trouble with your child. There is Lin'er in the Lu family, look..."
Gu Tianyang pointed behind him, and a pair of calligraphy he wrote in person was hanging on the wall behind him: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wash away the heroes, right and wrong, success and failure turn into nothing..."
"Lu Zheng is only sixteen years old, so he has such a mind and literary talent. It's really amazing! This old guy, Lu Shanchang, is blessed, and I am very envious!
But what's the use of envy? After all, it's someone else's child. Instead of jealousing the fish in the abyss, it's better to retreat and weave a net. The child in the synagogue has qualifications and potential.
Didn’t he like this girl named Fan Duoduo? Can you stop a young man’s character? Since he couldn’t stop him, just let him fight.
If he fights with Lu Zheng, he has to work hard. If he doesn’t learn enough, he has to find helpers. The matter is due to humans, why should we restrain him too much?
Even if he fails, he will grow. Such an opportunity is once a lifetime, don’t you understand?”
Gu Shenghai concentratingly thought, and said for a while: "Father, you have a deep plan, and I feel ashamed of myself. However, this battle for the courtesan is not a big deal on the surface, but it involves a lot. Since our Gu family is supporting Biyunlou, if it fails, the Gu family in Jiangnan will be afraid in the future..."
Gu Tianyang smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you are usually very clever, but you don't think about things carefully at critical moments.
The synagogue needs to do it, so we let him do it, but what we should do behind this must be done well! If the synagogue can succeed, it will be good, but it doesn’t matter if it fails. We have a backup plan!
Our original plan cannot be changed. This plan is participated by you and me. Lu Zheng is the key to our unity of the Lu family. If you arrange it, you must arrange the best position for him on the day of the Courtesan Competition so that he knows everything about the Courtesan Competition.
Young people have the thoughts of young people. You and I have been young. It is not difficult to grasp carefully. Do you understand?
Gu Shenghai completely understood his father's intentions and was impressed in his heart for a while. Gu Tianyang's plan not only trains Gu's hall, but also ensures that everything is foolproof. At the critical moment, the Lu family can be regarded as a shield!
I have to say that Jiang is old and Gu Tianyang's plan is much deeper than Gu Shenghai. If all plans go smoothly, there will be no suspense in this Guardian competition.
Gu Shenghai carefully considered Gu Tianyang's plan and said cautiously: "Father, your plan is indeed very high, but these plans have a key premise, that is, Lu Zheng's talent is indeed the best in Jinling. Otherwise, your plan may be..."
Gu Tianyang sighed faintly and said, "What you worry about is exactly what I don't worry about the most. No talented man in Jinling can surpass Lu Zheng!
That old guy Ruan Jingnian blew his grandson to the sky. Hehe, just because of the boy Ruan family, wouldn't he be convinced if he lost to Lu Zheng? If it were me, I would have been convinced. Humph, if I continue to torture, I can only bring shame on myself!"
When Gu Tianyang said this, Gu Shenghai was speechless, but he was very savory in his heart. The descendants of the Gu family have never received such high praise from the old man. Wouldn't the boy named Lu write poetry? The talented men on the Qinhuai River are really not short of poetry masters. But most of the so-called talents who are good at poetry are depressed and unsuccessful. Such talents can often be glorious in the Qinhuai River. When Jianglang's talents are gone, they will disappear quickly, and their endings will often be very miserable...
...
The Gu family is conspiring here, so naturally the Lu family in Jiangning cannot remain indifferent.
Lu Qian has always been in charge of the Huafang business, and Tianshui Pavilion is also an important channel for him to pick up the clerks. At present, there are so many rumors about the Courtesan Competition, and he is unsure of his mind.
With the strength of the Lu family, it is difficult to compete with the Gu family. King Pu firmly ranks second. What can the Lu family compete for?
But it is not enough to not fight. There are many people coveting behind the Lu family's Tianshui Pavilion. Among them, the Ruan family has successfully surpassed it. A few years ago, the Liancheng Pavilion of the Ruan family was ranked first. If the Lu family cannot maintain its current position, it may become more marginalized.
"What happened to that girl named Song Wanzhou? Where did it come out? You can really learn it? You can't play the tricks in the courtesan competition! The people we recommend must consider it carefully, do you know?" Lu Qian and Ximen Ye conspired in the study.
Ximen Ye sighed softly and said, "Board, this is already the best candidate. The people selected by Jun Jun himself are absolutely unquestionable in terms of talent and talent!"
"Jun'er, a person who is not good, hangs around Jiaofangsi all day long. Is Song Wanzhou the one who is Jiaofangsi? I said why is her singing style a bit strange? It turns out that she came from Jiaofangsi!" Lu Qian's voice was very cold and he cursed fiercely.
Ximen Ye pursed his lips and said nothing. Everyone in the Lu family knew about Lu Jun. This young man was not interested in fame and fortune, and he only thought about singing operas.
This woman named Song Wanzhou was first-class in opera. Lu Jun regarded her as a celestial being and tried every means to please her. So, this woman had to be the courtesan, so Lu Jun arranged her directly from the Jiaofangsi to Tianshui Pavilion, and in a year she became the top brand in Tianshui Pavilion.
In this year's Courtesan Competition, Lu Jun is even more planning to spend a lot of money on Song Wanzhou. Ximen Ye is well aware of these things, but can he tell Lu Qian?
Since Lu Jun chose Song Wanzhou, what Ximen Ye had to do was to convince Lu Qian to accept it, and then use Lu Qian to mobilize resources to support this woman. If Lu Jun can win Lu Jun's favor, Ximen Ye's status in the Lu family will be stronger.
With so many disciples in Lu Qian, why can Ximen Ye become Lu Qian's confidant? It's not that Ximen Ye is really talented, but that he knows how to straighten out all aspects of relationships.
Mrs. Zhang, the second wife of the Lu family, was very strong, so Ximen Ye had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was also a fat man, and Ximen Ye had a passionate relationship with the Lu family. As a result, the relationship between the second wife and the second wife was straightened out.
Lu Qian has a bad temper, and Ximen Ye is kind to comfort him. He doesn't mention Lu Jun's matter, but keeps praising Song Wanzhou for being good. Song Wanzhou is indeed not an ordinary woman. In addition to being too arrogant, Ximen Ye has a good impression of him.
How can you stand out in a place like Jiaofangsi and be appreciated by Lu Jun?
Ximen Ye's consolation took effect, and Lu Qian stopped obsessing about this topic. Next, he had to discuss how to play this courtesan competition?
Song Wanzhou has good conditions, but can he be compared with other famous prostitutes in the Qinhuai River? It is definitely not easy to praise Song Wanzhou as a famous prostitute at the courtesan level.
If this matter was probably still possible in previous years, the Lu family might have been sure, but this year's Courtesan Competition involved too many forces, and so far it is confusing and difficult to grasp!
The Lu family has few resources to use in the Courtesan Competition. The key is that Lu Shanchang is not enthusiastic about it. After all, Lu Qian has limited resources. In short, it is difficult to have a word!
Ximen Ye said: "Our family, this matter is not complicated. I still say the same thing. As long as you can ask Mr. Lu Zheng to help you, everything will be solved.
Mr. Lu Zheng’s current fame is unparalleled among the talented men in Jinling. If he is willing to stand on the side of Tianshui Pavilion, Song Wanzhou will definitely be among the top courtesans."
Lu Qian immediately frowned, stomped his feet hard, pointed his finger outside, and said erectly:
"Sir, look at this Lu Zheng. Does he have my father in his eyes? After returning from Yangzhou, he went to Yingtian without even sitting on the butt at home.
After going to Yingtian, I have never sent a letter to my family in a few months. I don’t know whether he is dead or alive! Didn’t you meet him in Liuhe last time? What’s the use? It doesn’t work at all. Did he go back to Jiangning?”
Lu Qian was too excited, his chest was undulating, and Ximen Ye said: "Boss, you don't have to think so. The old man must have made arrangements. Brother Zheng is not a thing in the pool, so it would be no harm to let him ventilate outside more, right?
No matter what, he is a child of the Lu family, and he cannot change it. As long as this is the case, no one will ignore the Lu family in Jiangning if he achieves any achievements in the future."
Lu Qian said: "Okay, Mr. Ximen, even if you make sense, how can I find this rebellious son in the moment? Could it be that I, the father, still want me, to go to Liuhe in person and then beg him in a low voice?
Tell me, where is such a ridiculous thing in this world? If I really do that, I will definitely be struck by lightning!”
Ximen Ye smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, I have already planned this for you! The boss doesn't have to come forward in person, so he can let Brother Jun go to see Lu Zheng. They are brothers. Their relationships were a bit uneven for various reasons before.
This time I happened to encounter this opportunity. Brothers beat the tiger, Brother Jun can take the initiative, and Brother Zheng is definitely not a person who doesn’t know the general. If the two brothers can become harmonious through this matter, it will be a great joy for the boss. Do you think so?"
Lu Qian didn't say anything for a long time, but his brows gradually stretched out. I have to say that what Ximen Ye said moved him. After a while, he said:
Chapter completed!
