The relationship between the Gu family and the Lu family has been very subtle over the years. The two families belong to the four majors of Jiangnan and are close to each other. Since the late emperor purged the Jiangnan power family, the two families can be said to be in a disaster. Once, the relationship between the two families was quite tense!

Today, Gu Tianyang was able to condescend to the Lu family in person, because the Gu family is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis and needs to find the Lu family to join in to keep warm.

On the other hand, we have to talk about Lu Zheng. The big trouble facing the Gu family now has to be solved. Don’t underestimate the Courtesan Competition. The winner and loss of the Courtesan Competition are only superficial, and the secret involves the Gu family’s position in Jiangnan. This is what major forces in all parties care about the most.

If Biyun Pavilion is defeated this time, the Gu family's influence in Jinling will be further weakened. It won't take long, and Jiangnan will probably no longer have any power to say.

Because of this, the Gu family must not allow the Courtesan competition to fail this time. This is also because Gu Tianyang came to the Lu family in person. At this time, the Gu family needs the help of the Lu family, and to be precise, Lu Zheng's help.

Lu Zheng is now in the Qinhuai River, and no one can compete with him. If Lu Zheng can support Fan Duoduo, Fan Duoduo's chance of winning can reach 80%. If Lu Zheng does not stand on Fan Duoduo's side, Fan Duoduo's chance of winning is not even 30%. This is the weight that a young man like Lu Zheng now occupies.

Lu Shanchang knew Gu Tianyang's thoughts, but how could an old fox like him express his opinion easily? It is a trend for the Gu family and the Lu family to join together to keep warm, but the interests of the Lu family cannot be ignored.

Since the Gu family came to the door this time, how could Lu Shanchang not get some benefits? Gu Tianyang naturally understood Lu Shanchang's thoughts. He immediately promised that the Gu family would coordinate well in the autumn examination, and that no matter what, Jie Yuan, who was next autumn examination, would not fall outside the four great masters of Jiangnan.

The Gu family has been operating in Jiangnan for many years, and its foundation and foundation are much deeper than that of the Lu family. Gu Tianyang also served as the Minister of State. Gu Tiansheng also served in six ministries in the capital. Almost half of the officials in various departments of the Southern Court were disciples of the Gu family!

In this context, with the Gu family taking action, Lu Zheng's talent and knowledge are absolutely fine, so Lu Zheng doesn't need to worry too much about the autumn examination next year.

"Zheng'er, the Courtesan Competition is once a year, and the opportunity is rare! This time, the Courtesan Competition is the home court, and all arrangements are controlled by the Gu family.

Grandpa Gu just said, I'll give you the best VIP room, you'll have one by one, this is the same treatment as Prince Pu! Your grandfather and old man can't enjoy such an honor. Don't you thank Grandpa Gu?" Lu Shanchang said with a smile.

Lu Zheng hurriedly thanked Gu Tianyang again. Gu Tianyang helped him up and said, "Brother Zheng, a talented man is worthy of a beautiful woman. If Miss Duoduo is lucky enough to win the championship this time, this girl will be able to..."

Gu Tianyang was halfway through his words, and Lu Shanchang laughed dryly and said, "Brother Tianyang, Zheng'er is still a young man. You should focus on your studies. How can our elders encourage him to seek pleasure?

Zheng'er, Grandpa Gu has given you a chance. You can enjoy it as much as you like. You are an independent person. You can make your own decisions on everything. Grandpa and Grandpa Gu do not interfere with you. OK?"

When Lu Shanchang said this, Gu Tianyang was shocked. His lips were tilted and he wanted to say something. Lu Shanchang frowned. Gu Tianyang didn't speak after all, and he couldn't help but secretly scold Lu Shanchang as an old fox. He really wanted to not let Gu Tianyang feel at ease!

Lu Zheng's expression was still calm. He saluted Lu Shanchang in a regular manner and said, "Grandfather, grandson came to Jiangning today mainly because of his uncle's wedding. The wedding was over. Grandson thought about the heavy workload, so he thought about returning to Liuhe earlier. Grandfather, you..."

"Zheng'er, what else do you have to say about these small things? I will tell you clearly today. You can do whatever you want in the future. My grandfather supports you.

There are some people in the Lu family who don’t want to see you, so you don’t have to see you. You don’t have to care about any rules. Even if there are huge rules here, you can avoid them.

Go, study hard, next year's autumn grandfather is waiting to see your gold list title! Haha..."

Lu Shanchang laughed loudly, and his old worries opened up. Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. His favor for Lu Shanchang increased greatly. He originally thought that this time he came to Jiangning, he would not be able to get out so easily, but now it seems that he was thinking it complicated.

...

Lu family, the second room, Lu Qian threw all the pens, inkstones on the table in the study, and it fell all over the floor.

"Is this unruly thing still my father in his eyes? Is there still this family? He was the gate of the Lu family, and he came whenever he wanted to come, and left whenever he wanted to?" Lu Qian was so angry that he could be said to be angry.

For Lu Zheng's return home this time, Lu Qian took a break for three consecutive days, and had gathered a group of disciples to prepare carefully for a long time. Lu Qian wanted to seize this opportunity to do two things.

The first thing is to try to ease the relationship between him and Lu Zheng, and the second thing is that he hopes that Lu Zheng can contribute some effort to the Lu family, such as the Lu family's Huafang Tianshui Pavilion, which also wants to fight for this time!

The current situation in Qinhuai River is already in chaos. Since Mirage Pavilion is no longer willing to be the second seat, what does it matter if Tianshui Pavilion is a little ambitious?

Even if Tianshui Pavilion has no ambitions, there are still several pleasure boats under Tianshui Pavilion, and are preparing to take Tianshui Pavilion and replace them. If Tianshui Pavilion does not do this, it may fall into the ranking, which is almost an unbearable loss for Lu Qian.

I have to say that Lu Zheng is so popular now that even His Highness Pu condescends to entertain him. It is no exaggeration to say that if Lu Zheng ranks second, no one dares to rank first in the most popular guest in the boudoirs of the Qinhuai River girls.

Lu Qian had already thought about it. As long as Lu Zheng nodded, Tianshui Pavilion could not only maintain its position, but also go to a higher level. Once that happens, Lu Qian will finally have some decent results for the old man to see!

However, Lu Qian never expected that after Lu Zheng returned to the Lu family, he was intercepted by the old man. After he went around the old man's yard, he left Jiangning and headed straight for Liuhe County.

Lu Zheng returned home and did not even pay tribute to his parents. He turned around and left. Lu Qian could not bear it at all...

"Second Master, don't be angry, the old man said that Brother Zheng will do whatever he wants in the Lu family in the future, do whatever he wants, without caring about any relationship or rules.

Second Master wants to set rules, but the old master just dismissed all the rules of Brother Zheng. Second Master, tell me, if this matter really starts, what rules should our Lu family follow?"

Hong Quan hunched his back, his voice was low and hoarse, but every word fell into Lu Qian's ears, which was like adding fuel to the fire.

"Old thing, you old thing, I..."

A strange smile appeared on Hong Quan's face and said, "Second Master, are you saying I am an old person or the great master? The rules are decided by the old master. If Er Master, follow me to the old master's study, and you can ask yourself?"

Lu Qian was speechless and could not speak in a daze. He was so angry that he trembled all over, but he did not dare to vent.

Lu Zheng doesn't take him seriously, how dare he not take Lu Shanchang seriously? In the Lu family, Lu Shanchang is the sky, and what he says is just a word. With Lu Qian's current weight, how can he compare with his father?

Watching Hong Quanyou leave, Lu Qian wished to throw all the things in the house. Seeing this, Ximen Ye came over and said, "Master, you don't need to be angry. Since the old man has set this rule, it means that Brother Zheng's favor in the old man has reached the extreme now.

Think about it carefully? No matter how powerful Brother Zheng is and how talented he is, he will be your son after all, and this will never be changed. If the old man spoils him, the status of the second wife will be further stabilized and increased. This is a great thing!

Master, you can’t use common sense to guess Brother Zheng, let alone measure it with routine. Why should you be angry?"

Ximen Ye tried hard to persuade Lu Qian, and Lu Qian's mood eased a little. Ximen Ye said: "As for the matter of the pleasure boat, isn't there any handsome young man?

Jun Gongzi would go to find Brother Zheng. They are brothers. Do you have anything to say? According to me, Brother Zheng is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is not humane on the surface, but actually cares about family affection the most.

Look at Qi Biao’s marriage this time, what’s the matter? But Brother Zheng came here to have the wedding banquet in person. Master, Qi Biao and Brother Zheng were in Yangzhou for more than a year and saved his life. Brother Zheng was grateful!"

Ximen Ye is best at these routines, which is why he is particularly valued by Lu Qian. Lu Qian's anger is a little bit restrained, and Madam Zhang's side of the back house started to make trouble again.

Mrs. Zhang was so fussing that she was crying and hanging herself. Speaking of the reason, she was really frustrated during this period. Qi Qiuyue is still a spirit now. It was Lu Qian who came to Qi Biao to marry and was the matchmaker. This was to carry the Qi family to the sky!

Qi Qiuyue was favored and had endless money to spend. All the concubines in the backyard were pulled over by Qi Qiuyue, and Mrs. Zhang's prestige was ruined in the back house.

And today, Lu Zheng's rebellious son returned to the Lu family and even left without asking her, his legitimate mother. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she really acted like she was about to hang herself.

What's wrong with the wife hanging? The second house is in chaos. People who know the inside story secretly sweated for Qi Qiuyue and his son. Some people secretly blame Lu Zheng for doing too much.

Lu Zheng should not be so polite because of his feelings and reason. Mrs. Zhang finally waited for this opportunity to counterattack, how could she not do enough?

Everyone in the second room was mobilized. For a moment, the maids and servants in the yard were all very nervous. Finally, everyone waited for the second master to come.

Mrs. Zhang was crying in the main hall, posing as she hanged her head and was about to create a climax!

Lu Qian walked in and said coldly: "Do you feel wronged? Zheng'er didn't even greet my relative, I want to hang myself like you? It's really hypocritical, full of ugly things, and I won't come down for me. If anyone else has nothing to do, get out of here!"
