Chapter 168: Jiang Xuan (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As soon as they entered, Jiang Jinghua led them straight to the main hall where the officials were. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
These officials were already vigilant, and they also noticed the group of people who came in, and many of them hurriedly stopped what they were doing, stood up, and greeted Lu Fang and Lu Yun.
Because they are all colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty, Lu Yun Lu Fang and everyone here are no strangers, and after a few simple greetings, Lu Yun introduced Lu Shuo to everyone present.
This is Lu Shuo's first appearance in front of everyone, and it is also one of the important reasons why he went to the banquet this time. After this appearance, he can freely go to the banquet in Beijing.
Lu Shuo smiled decently, but secretly glanced at these people in the main hall, and roughly judged the official rank of these people through whether these people stood up or not, and the tone and attitude of their voices.
Under this look, Lu Shuo couldn't help but be even more surprised.
More than half of them are high-ranking officials and important ministers in the court!
Gao Ge Lao, Yue Ge Lao, several Shangshu and squires in the court, and even several commanders and generals who belonged to the ranks of military attachés, were all present.
Is it really Jiang Mansion's big face?
Or do these people also have other purposes for this trip?
Lu Shuo narrowed his eyes.
Gao Zhuo and Jiang Jinghua invited so many heavyweights over, what did they want to do?
Lu Shuo exhaled, his eyes rolled slightly, he secretly looked at this, and then at that, he had some guesses in his heart!
Lu Yun obviously also noticed this situation, he raised his eyebrows slightly, but his face looked extremely calm, if Lu Shuo didn't know the meaning of his eyebrows, I was afraid that he would be deceived by him.
Lu Shuo smiled at Lu Yun, and Lu Yun immediately replied with a smile of understanding.
After Lu Yun finished introducing them one by one, Lu Shuo gave a salute to everyone present, and after receiving some training from several elders, this first greeting at the banquet was over.
At this time, half an hour had passed since he entered the main hall.
After the introduction was completed, Lu Shuo couldn't stay here anymore, so Jiang Jinghua called his eldest son Jiang Xuan over and asked him to lead Lu Shuo to the side hall.
Lu Shuo saw Jiang Xuan for the first time.
Jiang Xuan is sixteen or seventeen years old, very tall, extremely thin, and looks a little similar to her sister Jiang Yun, but she does not look feminine, she is an extremely handsome man.
Lu Shuo had heard the Yuan family mention it before, although this Jiang Xuan was young, he had already made a name for himself and was promising!
At this time, Jiang Xuan's smile was extremely kind!
Although he and Lu Shuo only met for the first time, because of the relationship between Mrs. Jiang and the Yuan family's godsisters, he took great care of Lu Yun.
Because he knew that Lu Yun was going to the banquet for the first time, he should not be very clear about the family relationship in the Beijing Division, therefore, on the way to lead Lu Shuo to the side hall, he simply explained the origin and relationship of the little boy in the side hall clearly, and at the end, he said to Lu Shuo: "Although these little sons are young, the means are sufficient, Brother Shuo will go in for a while, remember to have more eyes......
Seeing that Lu Shuo frowned, thinking that Lu Shuo was worried because of his words, Jiang Xuan smiled again and reassured, "But you don't have to worry, I've been staying in the side hall, you will follow me for a while, I don't think there will be any problems." ”
When Lu Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and looked up at him.
He frowned just now, not that he was afraid of these people, but it was a little strange that a few people who should have appeared did not appear, such as Gao Yan, such as Zou Baihan.
Zou Yuanzhang's eldest son - Zou Baihan.
Didn't the spies report that Zou Baihan also took the post this time and was ready to come to Jiang's Mansion for a banquet?
How could there be no such thing as him?
Without him, the most important part of this event would be missing, so how would their plan proceed......
Lu Shuo was anxious and relieved in his heart, but he didn't expect Jiang Xuan to say such a sentence......
To be honest, Lu Shuo was extremely defensive of him at first.
After all, he is Jiang Jinghua's eldest son, Jiang Jinghua's political views and propositions, he must be clear, and maybe he will participate in this conspiracy.
Who would have thought he would say such a thing......
Lu Shuo looked at his warm smile, and he really couldn't speculate on him with malice.
So, after he was stunned for a few seconds, he nodded with a slight smile and said, "Thank you, big brother, for reminding me!" The younger brother remembered. ”
The person in front of him is the son of Aunt Jiang!
Thinking of Aunt Jiang's conduct, Lu Shuo slowly relieved his heart.
The side hall and the main hall were not far apart, and the two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the side hall.
These young people, who were born in a wealthy and splendid pile, were gathering together to throw pots at this time.
Lu Shuo stood still and saw Du Dingchen first.
No way, this person is too eye-catching, with a solemn face, lips tightly pursed, in a group of playful teenagers, it looks out of place, and it is really difficult not to be discovered.
"Brother Lu Xian—"
Just as Lu Shuo was standing at the entrance of the side hall, looking at the teenagers present one by one, a loud voice suddenly sounded and called him.
Lu Shuo came back to his senses, and when he looked at it, he saw Cai Xingpei waving his hand vigorously at him, looking extremely excited.
His shout not only woke up Lu Shuo, but also attracted the attention of everyone who was playing, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Lu Shuo.
The corners of Lu Shuo's mouth twitched, looking at Cai Xingpei, who had an "innocent" face, and also opened his mouth to call "Brother Cai", his voice was extremely clear.
But thinking of the clues found in the secret investigation of the house a few days ago......
Lu Shuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It is said that Mr. Yan is extremely square, but he didn't expect that this disciple brought out by him personally was such a sweet-faced and bitter person with different hearts.
"Brother Cai, do you know this? He's ......"
As soon as Lu Shuo's title came out, the nearest teenager sitting with Cai Xingpei pointed to Lu Shuo and took the lead in asking.
"Let me introduce you!" Jiang Xuan heard this person's question, and answered with a smile.
He is the master of this time, and it is a matter of course to introduce each other, so everyone will not think that it is rude for him to rob the white like this.
"This little brother Lu Shuolu, from the second room of the Jingguo Mansion, his father's name is Lu Yun, the current prefect of Hebei Province, and now he has just stepped down and returned to the Beijing ......"
Before Jiang Xuan finished his introduction, the eyes of several teenagers looking at Lu Shuo slowly began to differ.
Although there is no shortage of gentlemen, it is not all wine bags and rice bags!
They have been exposed to the Beijing master for so many years, and although they can't say these twists and turns in the court very clearly, they also know that they are inseparable!
Now is a sensitive period, a few days ago when Lu Yun returned to Beijing, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, this peony banquet, many officials also faintly felt some signs, for the children who came to the banquet are naturally education, education and re-education, be sure not to cause trouble.
