Chapter 51
With a population of hundreds of thousands, it is not comparable compared with the eastern capital Luoyang, which is enough to be called a city rather than a county seat, but the transmission of news is extremely fast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Almost within three hours of the Xu family's convoy returning to their manor, the lords of the family at the top of Yangzhai got the news one after another. Of course, they knew better that although King Guangde and Zhong Wan did not say anything about Xu's actions, they were extremely dissatisfied in their hearts.
"Rat-eyed, real-looking." In a five-entry mansion on the outskirts of Yangzhai, a young man in a soap-colored robe put down the book in his hand, casually picked up a delicate small snack, weighed it for a moment, and threw it aside boringly. I saw him get up from the wicker chair, paced slowly in the courtyard, and after a while turned around and said solemnly, "It seems that I will have to reduce my contact with them in the future." ”
Hearing him say this, another family member sitting in the rattan chair smiled lightly, swallowed a petal of orange between the fingers of the handmaid Qianqianyu, and seemed to lick it on the other party's fingertips carelessly, seeing that the handmaiden with a complexion like the flower of three springs and the beauty of the handmaiden blushed with shame, this person waved his hand and asked the maids to go down, and then said lightly: "The nouveau riche who rises from the cold family is so uncultivated, it is normal to reduce contact with the other party, Xu Ze is famous all over the world, in my opinion, there are ...... among them."
Before he finished speaking, he received his brother's disapproval, and even a little cold gaze: "I said that Zhong Wan is just a mouse, not Xu Fujun." ”
"Third brother, you ......"
"Seventh brother, you should know very well how difficult it is for the children of the Han clan and the northern surname to be respected by the family, Xu Fujun has been famous for more than 30 years, and he is a rare celebrity in the world." The fine sunlight fell on Lu Jue's face through the gaps between the branches and leaves, making his appearance and demeanor, which was already like a Yaolin Qiongshu, even more outstanding, making it impossible to look at it directly. He looked at his brother-in-law, his expression was calm, his tone was cold, and there was even a hint of condescension in his eyes, "You shouldn't be able to make wise judgments because Xu Fujun's background is far inferior to ours!" If the children of the poor family are like the children of my family, they have the same opportunities to excel, and you can see who will occupy the mainstream of the court twenty years later! ”
His voice was extremely calm, just stating the facts, without any emotions or ups and downs, but with an irresistible majesty and power. There is not much difference in age next year, but his every move puts him in an absolute dominant position.
Lu Xun raised his head a little unwillingly for his brother's slightly reprimanding attitude, wanting to argue a sentence or two, but who expected Lu Xun to glance at his merry brother noncommittally, and without giving him a chance to speak, he made a judgment: "There are many families in Yingchuan, there is no shortage of Zhong family, originally the plan to get close to the Zhong family to win over Xu Fujun was abandoned, I will leave tomorrow and visit Xu Fujun in person." ”
When he said this, Lu Jue's expression was extremely calm, without any arrogance and conceit, as if it was an extremely simple matter to visit Xu Ze, who was much older than him and famous all over the world, and many people couldn't even enter the Xu family's house.
Such a move highlights the demeanor and modesty of his family. It was a bearing that could only be cultivated for hundreds of years, generation after generation of ancestors, who had always stood tall in the turbulent political struggles and glorified for hundreds of years. Such arrogance and alienation hidden under the gentle appearance, if there is no absolute right and status to support it, no one can do it, and Lu Jue has such capital. Because he is Lu Jue, he has enough talent and resourcefulness, and because he is Lu Jue, the eldest son of the head of the Lu family, and the future head of the Lu family.
The land of Sanwu, headed by Huiji, is known as the capital of Sanwu.
In such a place, it is naturally full of families, and the gate valves are staggered, and if you want to ask who is high and who is low, it is really difficult to make an accurate list at once. But if you want to ask, among the many families with the surname Wu, who is the leader, just like the Zhending Guo family occupies the first position of the overseas Chinese surname, the sphere of influence covers the entire south of the Yangtze River, and the Lu family, which is dominated by Huiji and Wu counties, is also the first family surnamed Wu without objection.
Taizu of the Great Qi raised troops in Guanlong, fiercely competed with Liu Xiu of Hebei, and finally won the world, but he was unable to raise troops to the south to conquer Jiangnan. I had to deal with the biggest force in the land of Sanwu, and I made it the Marquis of Wu, and tried to slowly plan it, which was the ancestor of Lu Jue.
The abacus of the royal family is very good, but in this era, the south of the Yangtze River is full of mosquitoes, the plague is rampant, the people in the north are seriously dissatisfied with the water and soil, and the power of the family is deep-rooted. When a family has been operating in the same industry and the same place for hundreds of years, you will find that they are like hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, and a hidden force may emerge at any time.
Although the Lu clan is not the state pastor and governor of Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhou for generations, they are not far from each other, not to mention the "smart people" who came to the sphere of influence of others and dared to distinguish themselves from them, either because of "physical discomfort", they found an excuse to go home, or died silently because of various "accidents".
It's a good excuse, isn't it?
If it weren't for the royal family's southern crossing and the surname Wu being provoked into infighting, the strength of the Lu family would not have been much damaged than before, but even so, they are still the most feared existence of the overseas Chinese family. It's because Lu Jue can proudly not take the king of Guangde County in his eyes - a top family like them who is above the royal family, it is okay to throw the face of the prince, where can he care about a prince with a humble maternal family?
"Third brother, I admit that I am prejudiced against the surname Bei, but ......" Lu Xun frowned slightly, and asked with some hesitation, "Isn't it too ...... for you to visit in person?"
Lu Jue shook his head lightly, disapproving: "I'm a junior, and I personally came to ask Xu Fujun to teach and ask, what's wrong?" If you want to come with me to visit, put away that flirtatious look! Xu Fujun is honest and simple, and he has not continued for more than ten years after the death of his wife. Over the years, I have devoted myself to studying, there are very few concubines, and even a concubine has not been born, how can I get used to your attitude of flirting with the maid at will? ”
Hearing his brother say this, Lu Xun's handsome face collapsed, and he struggled for a long time, but he still didn't dare to ask his brother - in terms of playing crazy, playing on a large scale, and playing passionately, it seems that I, the younger brother, am far inferior to the third brother, right? Why did I get a reputation for being frivolous and frivolous, and you became a righteous gentleman?
Lu Jue seems to be gentle and peaceful, but his methods are resolute and resolute, he decided to visit Xu Ze tomorrow, and after talking with his younger brother, he immediately wrote an invitation and ordered someone to send it to Xu's hospital. At this time, Xu Ze, Xu Heng and Xu Hui were translating the Lotus Sutra, when they heard the report of the visitor, and saw that Xu Hui, who had been immersed in the scriptures by his grandfather and brother, got up gently, pushed open the door of the inner study, and slowly walked to the outer room of the study.
In her imagination, many families in Yingchuan, as well as families surnamed Wu and Qiao, have a contempt for the families with the surname Bei. Hearing that Zhong Wan and Xu Ze had an unpleasant quarrel, those people would only secretly laugh at the Xu clan of the party for not being able to do anything, and they would never give any help. At such a time, someone actually sent a prayer post...... This kind of character is not easy to deal with!
While thinking, she lowered her head and saw the name on the prayer post, Xu Hui's movements froze, and the light worship post in her hand made her feel as heavy as a thousand catties in an instant.
Huiji Lu Jue, it turned out to be him!
Xu Hui always remembered that after he was reborn, he told his grandfather about the well-known figures in his previous life one by one, mentioning that Lu Jue was very famous, but he repeatedly should not be conquered by the imperial court, even if others criticized him, he always refused to step into this pool, even if the emperor was angry and forbade him to enter the office, he also handled it calmly. Just because of this incident, his arrogant wife left him, and he became the laughing stock of others, but when he did not change his original intention, Xu Ze said with great emotion: "If there is really one day to raise troops to the south, this son will be our fierce enemy!" The subtext is that if one day, the Daqi Building will fall, there is no doubt that Lu Jue will be able to turn the tide.
Xu Ze is extremely accurate, there is no doubt about it, and Lu Jue ...... Sure enough, it lived up to Xu Ze's evaluation!
"Lu Jue's greetings?" Xu Ze took the post, glanced at Lu Jue's handwriting, and commented; "The strength is cool, the ancient style is contained, it is really a good word!"
Xu Hui pondered for a moment, and Fang commented in an indifferent and objective tone: "Lu Jue has a long-term vision, is good at forbearance and scheming, but his identity is extremely noble, and he has a lot of power at his disposal, and dealing with him is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. He sent a letter of worship, he must have planned to send charcoal in the snow, and borrowed the power of my party Xu to contain the power of the Liang family, in case Liang Jiao and Guo Sima negotiated the conditions, and exchanged the orthodoxy of the Hongnong Liang family and the position of the lord of Lang for the support of the other party. If I go to the party and Xu Shi do what he thinks, in the long run, I will become a knife in the hands of the Huiji Lu family. ”
"Those who are noble-born really don't have to be too timid when they act." Xu Ze put down the post and said lightly, "Whether you listen or not, cooperate or not, this time you can see Lu Jue, and the trip to Yingchuan is already worthwhile." ”
Xu Heng looked at Xu Ze puzzled, not understanding why his grandfather gave Lu Jue such a high evaluation, but Xu Hui knew - Xu Ze had already decided that Lu Jue was the last savior of Great Qi, and if the Xu clan was lucky enough to unify the north, Lu Jue would be an extremely important stumbling block. For an opponent of this level, just listening to the intelligence and not seeing this person with his own eyes will inevitably make deviations or even wrong judgments, so it is necessary for Xu Ze to meet Lu Jue and take a look at him as a person.
"That being the case, I am in the party Xu family, so naturally I can't snub the distinguished guests." Xu Hui looked at his brother with a smile, "Brother, you say, how should we entertain this Lu Clan Langjun?" (To be continued.) )
