700 Wait for death
"Old boy Lu Cheng, welcome to the Geng family of the four major families!"
Old Man Lu was so excited that he almost touched the ground, and bowed down to the front to greet him.
"When did the Lu family get involved with the four big families?"
"I don't know, the connections of the Lu family are really terrifying, and in the future, this city may have to look at the Lu family. ”
In the envious voices of the people around him, Old Man Lu came to the visitor.
"Geng's family?"
Zhou Xiaokun thought that he knew the person who came, and found that it was not the young master Geng Qiugeng, and he should be a subordinate of the Geng family.
But when this person came, Old Man Lu didn't dare to slack off at all, and he didn't even dare to line his eyes with that person.
"Well, Mr. Lu is polite, today my family knows that you are celebrating your birthday, so I specially send you a congratulatory gift, I wish the old man happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan!"
Although the words of blessing are spoken, the nostrils of the visitor are raised, and there is no respect at all.
"Pick it up. ”
Two young people walked out behind the comer, holding a picture scroll, and handed it to Old Man Lu.
"Is it a painting? or a pair of words?"
"Today, this old man Lu is on the right with calligraphy and painting, I heard that he now has a picture of a lady with a genuine handiwork of Tang Yin, and I don't know how this calligraphy and painting compares to that. ”
Hearing the discussion of the people around him, the person who came snorted coldly.
"Old man Lu, do you know what this word is?"
"I don't know. ”
"Open it and take a look. ”
Old Man Lu opened it when he heard this, and the words on it were full of charm and color.
"Turtle Year Crane Longevity ......" Old Man Lu's face was a little unbearable, although he knew that this was a birthday celebration, but now this turtle word is somewhat scolding.
"Look at the stamps below!"
The person from the Geng family reminded him.
"Seals, oh my God!"
A person with the mentality of Old Man Lu actually lost his temper in public and shouted.
"This, this...... This is the word that Brother Geng mentioned, and it was the word he mentioned!"
Old Man Lu was so excited that his voice was trembling.
The person who came seemed to be very satisfied with Old Man Lu's reaction, smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, this is written by our head of the family himself, Old Man Lu, do you know that our head of the family has not mentioned words to people for more than ten years, I heard that you still have a pair of Tang Bohu's characters at home, I don't know how this character compares with that one?"
How could Old Man Lu not hear the meaning of this person's words.
He held this turtle year crane longevity in his hand and walked to the front of the main hall, where there was a huge longevity peach on the table of the eight immortals, and the "Lady Picture" that he showed off hung behind it.
"Come on, take the painting, change the painting!"
After taking down Tang Bohu's painting, on the spot, Old Man Lu framed this painting written by the head of the Geng family and hung it in the high hall.
It seemed that he was still not satisfied, and said loudly: "Ancient paintings are naturally hard to find, but in today's world, Brother Geng's paintings are the best in the world!
As he spoke, with a click, Old Man Lu pretended not to care at all and put the "Lady Picture" on the ground.
Jesse's face immediately darkened, how much effort did he put into finding this lady picture, and at that time, Zhou Xiaokun and Zhou Xiaokun had gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and how much affection they owed to save face to Old Man Lu, and now he was still on the ground in public.
This is not only this painting, but also Jesse's filial piety and the face of Jesse's family!
Aunt Jesse and his wife saw this scene with a gloating expression on their faces.
As for Lu Yong, he laughed directly.
"Silence!"
Old man Lu was taken aback, although he pretended to be hearty on the surface, but his heart was dripping blood, not to mention the value of that lady's picture, more importantly, he had a good heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, this should be Young Master Lu Yong, it's good, it's very good, our Young Master Geng Qiu and Young Master Zhong Zude of the Zhong family look very good. As he spoke, he bowed lightly to Lu Yong.
"I won't bother today, I wish Young Master Lu all the best, and I also wish Old Master Lu a hundred years of longevity, farewell!"
This person came and went quickly, but he disturbed the spring water of today's birthday celebration.
"Huh......" Old Man Lu let out a heavy breath and asked people to pick up the picture of the lady.
"Grandpa, this lady is ......"
Jesse wanted to explain that it would hurt Old Man Lu to do this, and Zhou Xiaokun was still in this place, obviously to offend him.
But Old Man Lu waved his hand and told him not to speak.
"Little Er, come here, come and sit next to grandpa. ”
Lu Yong was originally arranged to the second table this time, but after hearing the old man's words, he was ecstatic and hurried up.
"It's worthy of being my good grandson, tell grandpa, when did you talk to the Geng family, or even ...... The two sons and brothers of the Zhong family got into a relationship. ”
Old Man Lu's words were not good in front of so many people, but there was actually a reason for him to do this, to show off his muscles, so that everyone present knew that his family was good friends with the two sons and brothers of the four major families!
Second, it's not okay for him not to ask like this, because when the man left just now, he first wished this Lu Yong all the best, and then blessed him as an old man, what does this mean, it shows that this Lu Yong is more important than him in the hearts of those people!
So he had to ask.
Lu Yong is actually confused now, he didn't know that these two big people would come to attend the old man's birthday banquet because of him, although the Zhong family did not make a clear statement, but the latter words are actually explaining something, and people with a discerning eye know that the Geng family and the Zhong family are not out of focus and Jiao are not away from Meng.
"This ......" Lu Yong just wanted to say that there was nothing to do, but suddenly he saw Jesse next to him, who was mourning, and the painting in Jesse's hand, and suddenly came to an idea.
"Grandpa, this is really a long time to say, last time I went to the province with my mother to help you find a painting, you know this matter, the little shopkeeper who is looking for the relationship is the Geng family, and at that time, this Zhong Shao and Jesse seemed to have some contradictions, and by chance, I got acquainted with these two big shots. ”
Lu Yong's words later, Old Man Lu didn't hear it clearly, but he heard that Jesse actually had some conflicts with Zhong Shao?!
"Jesse, you come over to me, I didn't let you have good contact with Zhong Shao before, how can there be a conflict?"
Jesse is actually a little disheartened now, and he is now asking himself, is it necessary for him to be so filial to this grandfather, what he has worked so hard to ask for, he is so badly abused, and it is still in front of everyone's face.
"Dad, let's talk about this when we go home, today is your birthday after all, let's not neglect your relatives and friends. ”
It was Jesse's dad who spoke.
This is the first time Zhou Xiaokun has seen Jesse's father, an elegant middle-aged man, who has a very bookish body, and he has actually smiled apologetically at Zhou Xiaokun several times just now.
"Big brother, what to say when you go home, it's not serious now, I can tell you, I was at that auction site at the time, I was also there, don't you know your Jesse's attitude towards Zhong Shao, tsk, don't say anything else, anyway, I'm scared when I see it, by the way, the initiator of that incident at that time seems to be that person." ”
Aunt Jesse pointed her finger in Zhou Xiaokun's direction.
"Yes, it's him, it's this Zhou Xiaokun, the eldest brother at that time was because of this Zhou Xiaokun and Zhong Shao, and Zhong Shao and they lost the competition because of this painting at that time, why don't I dare to take this painting, I'm afraid of causing trouble for you, grandpa!"
Lu Yong added fuel and vinegar to tell what happened at the auction at that time, which said that Zhou Xiaokun and Zhong Shao had a common hatred, and Jesse also rushed up, and in the end, Zhou Xiaokun gave him this painting in order to thank Jesse.
"Shaft!"
Old Man Lu picked up a teacup in front of him and threw it at Jesse.
Knock, pop!
The teacup smashed into Jesse's head, then fell to the ground and shattered.
Jesse didn't hide just now, and now he didn't move, and the place where his head was smashed slowly began to crawl down, and after a while, it went down the side of his face to his chin, and then dripped on the ground.
"Dad, how can you ......" Jesse's father didn't expect the old man to smash the eldest grandson of the Lu family in public, "Jesse, are you okay, hurry up and go down and bandage it." ”
Jesse's dad pulled Jesse and wanted to go down and deal with it.
"Shall I let you go?!" Old Man Lu's words came slowly, "If you offend the Zhong family, what is it to shed some blood, if you don't give an explanation, I think you can also give up the position of the grandson of the Lu family." ”
"Dad!"
Compared with Jesse's father's shock, Lu Yong's family is like winning the lottery, they originally thought that this birthday celebration was a turn in their family's fate, after all, they did something bad at the beginning, but they never expected that things would come to this point!
And in an inconspicuous corner on the other side, there was Lu Yu, who was ignored by everyone, smiled and said nothing.
"Dad, when I came back from the United States, did you say you did the right thing?" asked Jesse.
Jesse's father heard this, and felt uncomfortable, originally his son said that he was a high-achieving student, and he was with his mother in the United States, and his life was at least carefree, but he thought that his vein was in danger in the Lu family, and then despite the opposition of his wife in the United States, he had to transfer his son back, it was only less than a year, and his son's efforts were in his eyes.
Let's not talk about how much I have done to help the Lu family, even if I have worked hard to manage this old man's birthday this time, especially to help the old man get back face and get a picture of a real lady, but everything that has been done in exchange for a humiliation in public.
"I'm like a clown. ”
Jesse muttered to himself.
"Say!"
Old Man Lu will not have any mercy at all because of Jesse's sadness, he wants an explanation now.
"And you, just now the one who wanted the old man to go down and invite you personally, Jesse Libao said that you are Zhou Xiaokun, the great benefactor of our Lu family, do you also want to give the old man an explanation?!"
This fire finally burned to Zhou Xiaokun.
Lu Yong laughed hideously, now this plot is going too perfect, at the right time, in throwing this matter, then Jesse and Zhou Xiaokun, both of them, are waiting to die!
