Chapter 6: The Beginning of the Curtain
The play was over, and the excitement of going down the stairs without lights added a lot of doubts to the audience.
"Old man, let's go first, you prepare your things, and we'll get them in a few days!"
The thought of socializing was light, and Xu Chen didn't plan to waste time on these people, so he took people away after saying something.
Splitting up the family is not a matter that needs to be thought about for a long time for Mrs. Lu. The property under Lu Gradual's name has been divided up by the Lu family, as long as there is no dispute over the property, the genealogy can only be drawn with pen and ink.
As for the so-called face, sometimes it is very important, in the face of the weak, these faces are the things they maintain the majesty of the family and show the family heritage, but in the face of characters of the same level, it is ridiculous to care about the things on the scene.
Although he doesn't care about it, a fifth-grade official can already make the Lu family treat him as a person.
The concession that Mrs. Lu was originally going to make was to eliminate the resentment in Lu Hao's heart so that it could really be used by the family, but Lu Hao wanted to split up so directly and resolutely, and he didn't put forward any ideas about the industry.
The faint melancholy in my heart has not been able to find confirmation, and it is difficult to make up my mind about some decisions......
Leaving the Lu family's compound, the gloom on Lu Hao's face became clearer and clearer.
Xu Chen saw it and said with a smile: "Want to kill?"
Lu Hao turned his head to look at him and nodded heavily.
"Hehe, that's easy!" Xu Chen smiled, and then said: "However, I want to watch another play!"
"Play?"
"Just discovered a very interesting person!"
Lu Hao thought for a moment and asked, "It's just a little clever, will you be interested?"
Xu Chen smiled: "Who knows! There is nothing left and right, there are still many days left for the New Year, let's go and take a look, maybe there is something special to discover!"
"Okay, then here'......"
"It's not difficult to split up, the pass is that they don't believe that you really don't want anything, it's a temptation left and right, and then you take your things and leave! The only one who knows the details can neither make the decision nor want to say it, so he will probably come to see us alone......"
Xu Chen and the others did not live in the Lu family compound yesterday, but rested in a welcome building in Lujia Village.
Xu Chen led a group of brothers to get a carriage at Tangshan Wharf and rode to the north of Jiaxing County.
After Xu Chen and the others left, the young man who came from Pegasus was called Chang Yun, the only son of Chang Hongzhao, the commander of Jiaxing County, and after entering the Lu family's compound, he was explaining with a smile in Lu Wengui's courtyard at the moment.
"Brother Lu Mingjian, the younger brother can swear to the sky, my father has no intention of arresting Brother Lu! That Haifeng is simply reckless! Don't worry, I'll find someone to clean him up when I go back! Vent my anger for Brother Lu!"
"Okay, okay!" Lu Wengui waved his hand impatiently and muttered: "I didn't think that this surnamed Hai was here to target me!"
"Huh?" Chang Yun said stunned.
Lu Wengui smiled mysteriously and said to himself: "Coming to my Lu family to get people with such fanfare, do you think people with brains would do this?"
"No...... No, it won't!"
"Isn't this over!" Lu Wengui smiled: "I know that I can't get someone, and I deliberately come out in front of my house like this, what do you think he wants to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Wengui glanced at Chang Yun with disgust, and said with a smile: "What else can you do?"
"Acting, who is it for?"
I really couldn't stand Chang Yun's idiot face, Lu Wengui said angrily: "Show it to the people of Lujia Village! It will also be shown to all the people in Jiaxing County! Let them see, it's not that he Haifeng doesn't want to arrest me, but my Lu family obstructs me in every possible way, and he can't catch it!"
"Huh?" Chang Yun grew his mouth, and it took a long time before he suddenly realized: "Oh...... He got the idea! He ...... He...... He's so ......."
"The intentions are sinister!
"Heh! It's too early to say this, whether I want to give an explanation to outsiders perfunctorily, or I want to use public opinion to put pressure on the Lu family to arrest me, these still have to be seen!" Lu Wengui's sneering face showed a look of seeing through everything.
"That'...... So what now?" Chang Yun hurriedly said: "Tomorrow, will you go to the poetry meeting in the Yixiao Building?"
"Joke!" Lu Wengui said proudly: "He wants me Lu Wengui to stop when he hears a little head-catcher?"
"That's good! That's good! Tomorrow's poetry will hear that people from the Qian family in Yangzhou will also come......"
Chang Yun played the appearance of a shady follower very well, and he still greeted the doorman with a smile when he walked out of the gate of the Lu family.
After straddle the horse and left, and completely walked out of Lujia Village, the smile on his face gradually faded.
"That's the problem...... I really didn't expect Lu Wengui, a fool, to say these things in public...... Who the hell is that person? I need to find out......"
Chang Yun galloped on his horse, and it didn't take long to return to Jiaxing County, enter the backyard of the county government, and run straight to his father's study.
"Father!"
"It's back. ”
Chang Hongzhao is 45 years old this year, with a majestic figure, a slight lower abdomen, and no silver thread on his sideburns.
"Come and see! How about this new work for my father?" Chang Hongzhao put down the brush and called with a smile.
Chang Yun came over to take a look and praised: "Father's pen power is getting deeper and deeper!"
"This pair of Longxiang Jiuzhou is a New Year's gift from my father to the emperor this year?"
"Not bad!"
Chang Yun thought about it, and finally said: "The situation is not quite the same this year, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"
"Has my father thought of a congratulatory gift for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chang Hongzhao said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about the prince's share, you should have left a month ago!
"It's just the fate of the wallgrass ......"
Chang Hongzhao picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea soup, and said with a smile: "That also depends on whether the wall under your feet is strong enough! As long as the balance is not broken, the wall is very strong now!"
Chang Yun nodded: "Okay......"
"Then how is Lu Wengui's matter resolved?" Chang Yun asked again.
"Haifeng went to the Lu family today, right?" Chang Hongzhao put down the teacup, leaned back against the couch, and asked leisurely.
"Go!" Chang Yun replied: "I just came back from there, it didn't work!"
"That's natural!" Chang Hongzhao said with a smile: "Haifeng, this person looks easy-going, but in fact, he is very stubborn in his heart!
"That's why I'm worried!" Chang Yun said sadly: "Lu Wengui, this idiot, openly told him about sending money to his father today, and there are still outsiders present!"
Chang Hongzhao finally frowned and asked, "Who is that person?"
Chang Yun shook his head and replied, "People I haven't seen before, but they don't look like ordinary people." ”
Chang Hongzhao's brows furrowed even deeper: "Go and find out!"
"Okay!" Chang Yun nodded, thought about it and asked, "If Haifeng really arrests someone, then will my father try it or not?"
"It's hard to say...... Chang Hongzhao squinted his eyes and muttered, "Let's look at the situation first......"
After Xu Chen and the others arrived in Jiaxing County, they found an inn to live in and took advantage of the afternoon to walk around.
The county town in winter, after all, is a little deserted, the New Year is still early, and there are some New Year's flavors, but now this year, the families who can spend a full month preparing for the New Year are mostly wealthy families, and ordinary people will probably only go out to buy some New Year's goods a few days before the New Year......
Wander around at will, come to a small Taoist temple in the west of the city, look at the yellowed but clean door panel, occasionally a few strong pines poking out from the mottled wall, and the half-open door can glimpse the scattered and elegant bamboo garden and the plum in the corner of the courtyard.
Xu Chen stopped, walked towards the fair-eyed Taoist boy in front of the door, and asked with a smile, "Little friend, can we go in and have a look?"
"The donor is polite! Poor Dao has no desire, not a child!" the little Taoist priest saluted very seriously and corrected.
"Speechless, this name is quite chic!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
The beautiful little Taoist boy said angrily: "It's not that it's speechless, it's desireless!
"No desire?" Xu Chen glanced at the little Taoist priest up and down, and suddenly squinted and laughed: "No desire, no desire, it sounds so powerful!"
"That's nature!" said the little Taoist priest proudly: "Monks should be pure in heart and have few desires, and practice freely......"
The little Taoist's good-looking little nose suddenly stirred, and a very rich milky fragrance went down the nostrils to the depths of his mind.
I saw Xu Chen take out a few toffees from his sleeve, peel off the oil paper one by one, but he didn't eat it, just put it in his palm like that, and blew a few breaths from time to time.
"Do you want to eat, I want to!" Xu Chen stretched out his hand and sent the toffee to the little Taoist.
The little Taoist priest, who was only six or seven years old, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and raised his hand, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Chen's face that seemed to be smiling, and he immediately blushed and turned his head away.
"Hmph, don't try to tempt me! My Dao heart is firm!"
"Oh...... That's really powerful!" Xu Chen kept nodding and said with a smile: "Since you don't eat it, then I'll eat it!"
As he spoke, he ate all the toffee in one bite.
While chewing, he said with an intoxicated face: "It's so fragrant!
"Goo-goo" The little Taoist priest swallowed a few more mouthfuls of saliva, and turned his body directly, and the hatred for Xu Chen in his heart was already deep!
"Giggles, Brother Chen, you're playing tricks on other people's little brothers again!" Lu Ying, who was behind him, couldn't look at it, took a few steps forward, took out a handful of milk candy from his small pocket and handed it to the little Taoist, and said with a smile: "Take it!"
"I ......" looked down at the toffee, and looked up at the annoying person, and the little Taoist priest said angrily: "Hmph!
At that time, a voice came from the courtyard: "A few friends, don't play tricks on the child, it's cold, why don't you come in and drink a few cups of coarse tea?"
