Chapter 112: The Ministers (Second Watch)

At this time, except for Cai Xingpei and the young man in Xuanyi just now, the other two stared at Lu Shuo with strange eyes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lu Shuo was a little stunned by this burning gaze.

It's no wonder that the two of them are not to blame.

When they came, they didn't hear Cai Xingpei mention it in detail, but they only knew that Lu Shuo was the head of this year's county examination, and these two people would rely on their ancestors in the future and would not take the path of the imperial examination, so they knew very little about Lu Shuo, and therefore, they were not very enthusiastic about Lu Shuo's identity as the head of the case.

But now it's different, Lu Yun's success in curing locusts was full of turmoil in the city at that time, and they had all heard about it, and at this time, seeing the son of the protagonist of the incident really standing in front of them, surprise and curiosity can be regarded as a normal reaction!

"Brother Lu,"

Lu Shuo heard a call and hurriedly followed the voice, only to see the young man in the royal blue collared narrow sleeve straight-sleeved shirt stand up from the round stool and walk straight to Lu Shuo.

There was doubt in his voice: "Although I have never seen what a locust plague looks like, I have heard people say that this locust has always been difficult to treat, and since ancient times, every time a locust plague occurs, it must be devastating and starving. It's not that there are people who want to cure locusts, but I have never heard of any successful control of locusts! I have also heard of Lingtang's deeds, but I am a little ...... about the authenticity of this."

Although the words are not finished, the meaning of these words is already clear to everyone in the room.

Lu Shuo was about to speak, when another young man interrupted him and said, "What are you talking about! Back then, the matter of curing locusts spread all over the country, and the Holy Lord even personally issued a holy decree to reward Uncle Lu for his meritorious work in curing locusts.

This was said righteously, and the other four people in the room looked at him together, and the young man in the royal blue shirt couldn't help but have a hot face, "cough" twice, and said weakly: "That's what I said, look at your ......"

The young man ignored him, turned his head to look at Lu Shuo, and asked anxiously: "Brother Lu, you were also in Hebei Province at the time, tell us quickly, what did your uncle do at that time to wipe out all these locusts!"

As soon as the words fell, the young man in Xuanyi raised his hand to stop him: "King Jun, this matter is the privacy of Brother Lu's family, and it seems a little abrupt for you to ask like this!"

The young man in Xuanyi's voice made sense to stop him.

After all, the bigger the family, the more attention is paid to the preservation and inheritance of family secrets, although this locust control is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, but unless the court asks, or Lu Yun takes the initiative to publish a book to announce the world, otherwise, this will be passed down from generation to generation as a family secret.

Therefore, it was a little abrupt for the young man to suddenly ask about this at this time.

"It's okay!" Lu Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile, "The control of locusts is related to the people's livelihood, how can we ignore the interests of the family and the people! At that time, the locust plague was menacing and the situation was urgent, so my father copied many copies of this method of controlling locusts and sent them to various prefectures in Hebei Province to know, so this method of controlling locusts is not a secret.

Hearing this, the embarrassed look on the face of the young man who asked the question just now eased a little!

"Actually, this matter is not my father's work alone," Lu Shuo smiled and continued.

The rest of the people didn't know the inside story, and when they heard him say this, their curiosity was even stronger, and they all pricked up their ears, cheered up their spirits, and listened to Lu Shuo continue to speak.

Lu Shuo pondered, deleted, reduced, and explained in detail how he discovered the disaster, how he knew Sun Laohan's methods, and how to deploy manpower to avoid the disaster.

It's a long story!

When several people met for the first time, around the topic of common interest in locust control, you asked me to answer, the atmosphere was not embarrassing, but after a while, Lu Shuo became familiar with them.

Through conversation, Lu Shuo also learned the identities of the other three.

The young man dressed in Xuanyi and with a cold face and enthusiasm, named Yao Guangkun, is the youngest grandson of the eldest princess of Changning, his father is the second, and now he is serving as a young secretary in Dali Temple.

Lu Shuo was most impressed by him.

On the one hand, this Yao Guangkun's fist and foot skills are very high, and now he has been practicing in the Beijing Normal Camp, although he is only young, he has already practiced his skills, which is worthy of admiration.

On the other hand, it's related to Lu Xin!

That time, after Lu Xin led the dog to scare him, he sent Xiuzhu to carefully check the origin of the chow chow, which he snatched from the little prince Yao in front of him at the banquet where Zhou Shangshu's eldest son was married.

Lu Shuo and Lu Xin are both from the Lu Mansion, which can be regarded as both glory and loss, and therefore, after he learned that the young man in Xuanyi was this identity, he only felt very embarrassed, and secretly delayed Lu Xin hundreds of times in his heart.

The young man wearing a royal blue shirt, named Meng Chun, is now thirteen years old, the eldest of the five, and is the old son of Huwei General Meng Kan.

When Lu Shuo learned that he was the son of General Meng, his heart couldn't help but burst.

General Meng is one of the three fierce generals of Daqi, and now he leads 200,000 elite soldiers, stationed in southern Yunnan, guarding the southwest gateway for Daqi, and can be said to be the minister of His Majesty today.

Such a capable courtier, his son, is mixed with Cai Xingpei, the princess's maiden family, for ......

Lu Shuo secretly wrote it down.

I was puzzled in my heart, I don't know if these two people made friends just because they smelled like each other, or because of the acquiescence of the adults of the two mansions.

As for the young man Xie Li, who was called "the king of the county" by Yao Guangkun, he was the son of the Fuwang Mansion.

King Fu is the old son of the first emperor, when the saint succeeded to the throne today, King Fu has just reached the age of drooping, and because there is no threat, he has safely escaped the vigorous reckoning after ascending the throne today, plus he is not greedy for power, willing to be a happy prince, and now he has become the only two princes left in the Great Qi.

These four people, through talking with them and observing what they did, Lu Shuo faintly felt that they were all honest and upright people, not deceitful or despicable, and they were all people to make friends with.

A small banquet in the morning, a few words of gossip, and then a pair of poems and compositions, passed quietly.

Before parting, Yao Guangkun looked at Lu Shuo and slowly spit out a sentence: "Originally, because you and Lu Xin were cousins, I also wondered, why did Cai Xingpei invite you so unsightly?

Lu Shuo couldn't help but smile.

That's what he means!

With such a good mood, he and the two little servants walked out of Hagishuang Pavilion and returned to Lu Mansion in a carriage.

But he didn't know that there was a pair of eyes in the shadows, already staring at him!
