Chapter 313: The Great Butler is Gone!

@: Chapter 313

In the early morning, the Lu family was shrouded in a kind mist, and when they came out of the gate of the Lu family, not far away was the inland river of Jiangning.

In the current situation, there are not many pedestrians on the bank of the river, and Lu Zheng trotted along the river bank in a short coat. Look at his side, there are several capable strong men in front and back, left and right.

Shadow followed him and shouted, "In this situation, does Childe have to show his face?" ”

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm not the daughter of a big family, why do I still have to embroider in the boudoir?" ”

Shadow said: "Ignore you!" Say some sophistry. By the way, the second master and the second grandmother are still waiting, let's go back! ”

Lu Zheng's body stiffened, stretched his waist, and said to the guards beside him: "Okay, let's stay away, they all said this time and that time, even if they borrow a hundred guts in the current situation, they will definitely not dare to make a mistake!" ”

Several guards retreated respectfully, but they didn't dare to retreat far, and several of them were Liu Song's subordinates. They knew very well the relationship between Lu Zheng and Liu Song, so they didn't dare to relax the slightest bit about Lu Zheng's protection.

"Let's go back! Second brother Jing is enthusiastic, he brought so many things from Yangzhou, Ying'er, you go and spread the word, let the second brother come to my yard! ”

When Lu Zheng returned to the Lu Mansion, the Lu Mansion gradually became lively, and the maids, servants, and mothers-in-law in each room began to get busy.

And Lu Zheng's residence is a separate courtyard, which was personally supervised and rebuilt by the old lady, with five large houses, and a backyard, among the younger generation, no one's residence can be compared with Lu Zheng.

Even if Lu Zheng's father Lu Qian lives in the two-room courtyard, it is only a few more rooms than Lu Zheng's here, and in terms of style alone, it may not be as good as Lu Zheng's courtyard.

There is no way, Lu Zheng's status in the old lady's heart is so high. He occupies such a large yard, with eight standard big girls, four little girls, and four mothers-in-law and two servants.

This courtyard Lu Zheng is still moving in for the first time, and the inside and outside of the courtyard have been cleaned up by the people, but Lu Zheng is comfortable to live in, so he is very energetic in the morning.

Back in the courtyard, the door was already full of messengers, and Qi Qiuyue sent a message to Lu Zheng to go over and speak, and use it early.

Mrs. Zhang spread the word that the guests of the Zhang family were here today, and asked Lu Zheng to go over to meet the seniors and brothers. Lu Qian sent a message from there, saying that he was going to take the school to test Lu Zheng's studies

The old lady passed the word, saying that she asked Lu Zheng to go over to help the old man sort out yesterday's birthday gift.

This kind of situation made Ying Er couldn't help but speak: "Childe, you are only one person, and you don't know how to doppelganger, where can you be busy!" ”

Lu Zheng gathered all the disciples together and said: "Listen, now I am lacking in skills, you go back and pass the word to your master, just say that I will go to the old lady's side to help the old lady sort out the birthday gift, have you heard clearly?" ”

All the disciples saluted in unison and retreated one after another, and no one dared to say anything.

Just kidding, the status of Lu Zheng in the Lu family today is not boastful, look at the foundation that Lu Zheng has in Liuhe, it is said that it is a huge wealth of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year!

Who in the younger generation of the Lu family dares to compete with Lu Zheng? Not to mention the younger generation, even if it is the older generation, the Lu Qian brothers can't be compared with Lu Zheng!

It is no exaggeration to say that this time the Lu family ushered in the opportunity for revival because of Lu Zheng, otherwise, where would the Lu family get it?

The reason why the Gu family wanted to deal with Lu Zheng was because Lu Zheng made them feel a huge threat. In the current situation, Jiangnan is in need of unity, but Gu Tianyang is blatantly engaged in fighting in the nest, and the weight of Lu Zheng in his heart can be imagined.

Sending away a group of disciples, Lu Zheng said: "Let's go, go to my mother's side for breakfast first, go back and sleep again, and go back to Liuhe in the afternoon!" ”

"Uh......" Shadow was stunned and speechless, didn't she just say that she would go to the old man's side, why did she change to sleep? When I woke up, it was already noon, and I would go back to Liuhe in the afternoon, wouldn't it be that none of the sons of the Lu family were gone?

Although Ying'er felt that something was wrong, she also felt that Lu Zheng was really powerful, look at whose son can be so powerful? Don't even give the old lady face?

Look at the Jiangning Lu family again, such a big family now relies on their own sons to support the lintel.

……

In the study of the old lady of the Lu family, Hong Quan was bent on his back, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he could grow old at any time.

He didn't make a sound from the door of the study, and just stood silent, like a piece of rotten wood.

Lu Shanchang didn't speak, he just stood at the window with his hands behind his back, and his eyes looked out of the window quietly. Previously, Menzi came to report that Lu Zhengchen would come over, but now it is in the middle of the hour, and Lu Zheng has not yet been seen.

And at this time, there were already a lot of people outside the old lady's study, and Lu Qian's brothers were here, all waiting for Lu Zheng!

"This kid doesn't look like he's coming!" Lu Shan said for a long time, listening to his tone, he didn't seem to be annoyed, and his tone was plain, as if he had expected it a long time ago.

"Quan'er, go and see what this kid gave me as a birthday gift yesterday?" Lu Shan said.

Hong Quan bowed respectfully, then went out, and after a while, he walked in with a delicately carved wooden box in his hand.

He respectfully placed the wooden box in front of Lu Shanchang, then stepped back and said, "Old lady, Brother Zheng'er's gift is this box!" ”

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Lu Shanchang's mouth, and he walked up to the box, his wrinkled hand gently stroking the patterns on the box.

After a long time, he opened the brass clasp on the box, and suddenly laughed, and his laughter grew louder and louder, and finally he laughed out loud.

Hong Quan's face became more solemn, he lowered his head and pursed his lips, Lu Shanchang suddenly looked back at him and said, "Quan'er, you also come over to take a look?" ”

Hong Quan is so old, looking at his appearance is even older than Lu Shanchang, but Lu Shanchang calls him by his nickname, which sounds kind but also weird.

Hong Quan slowly approached, and when he saw the thing in the box, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly: "This...... Zheng Gongzi really got a lot of money. This...... A silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver? ”

Lu Shanchang nodded and said, "Yes, one hundred thousand taels of silver is a huge fortune for any family." Zheng'er threw so much silver arrogantly, it's hard for him!

But that's not the point, if you look closely, one of them is not a silver ticket! ”

Hong Quan was slightly stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he saw that there was a piece of paper in it, he opened the silver ticket and saw this paper, his hand suddenly shrank back as if it had been bitten by a snake, and his face turned dead gray.

A piece of white paper with a fly-headed small block written on it: "If Grandfather wants to return the gift, one Hong Quan is enough!" ”

Just such a sentence, clear and clear, Hong Quan saw this sentence in his heart as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. His mood is hard to describe in words......

He has been a slave to the Lu family all his life, and he has always been loyal to Lu Shanchang, but unfortunately this time he made a mistake, and this mistake made him go to a dead end. He thought he was smart, but he didn't know how stupid he was, of course, he could only sigh that he was unlucky and ran into Lu Zheng's demon......

100,000 taels of silver for a Hong Quan, Hong Quan has self-knowledge and knows that he is not worth 100,000 taels of silver.

"Master, I'm going to see Gongzi Zheng!" Hong Quan said with difficulty.

Lu Shanchang sighed softly and said, "Zheng'er, this kid is not very old, but he is thoughtful. He gave me 100,000 taels of silver, and his intention was obvious. He saw through that the Lu family is now an empty shell, and if the Lu family wants to revive, in addition to cultivating talents, in addition to insisting on poetry and book heirlooms, the most important thing is wealth!

Zheng'er can give 100,000 taels of silver today, maybe another 100,000 taels next time, and even the silver in the future can be endless. Quan'er, do you understand what I say? ”

"Master, don't talk about it......" Hong Quandao, his voice suddenly changed tone, and then the old tears were in tears. He suddenly became extremely excited, and his emotions were completely out of control.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? He has followed Lu Shanchang all his life, can the friendship between the two be fake? However, Lu Shanchang had to move him, because he was a betrayer, and his personal friendship could not be above the interests of the family.

Lu Zheng exchanged 100,000 taels of silver for Hong Quan, did he exchange it for Hong Quan? The so-called eating people has a short mouth and a soft hand, how many chips does the current Lu family have to play with Lu Zheng?

Lu Zheng is Lu Zheng, and the Lu family is the Lu family, but Lu Zheng is from the Lu family. The rise of the Lu family and the revival of the Lu family are inseparable from Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng explained everything thoroughly with a box of silver.

And Lu Shanchang can understand all this, Hong Quan can also understand it, and it is precisely because he understands that his mind is complicated...... Hong Quan slowly retreated and withdrew from the study, every step he took was very difficult, because he knew in his heart that if he retreated this time, there would be no possibility of entering, from now on, dust to dust, dust to earth, his limit has arrived!

"Quan'er......" Lu Shanchang suddenly stopped him, Hong Quan lowered his head and stopped, Lu Shanchang said: "Your way back may be the best, it is better than the future you can foresee......"

Hong Quan raised his head and then lowered his head, all his emotions were silent. If Lu Shanchang died, the Lu family would be controlled by Lu Qian, and Hong Quan would still die without a place to be buried.

The contradiction between Hong Quan and Lu Qian is irreconcilable, because behind this is the grievances of the previous generation of old ladies.

Hong Quan absolutely couldn't let the second room gain power, and because of this, he took the risk and almost made a big mistake. Lu Zheng couldn't spare him, he was dead.

Lu Qian hated Hong Quan for failing to kill him for decades, and Lu Zheng put Hong Quan to death with an understatement......

Hong Quan left, outside the old lady's study, Lu Qian was not angry, he waited for more than an hour, and Lu Zheng's shadow was not seen.

Lu Zheng didn't see him, and Lu Shanchang didn't see him, so he was unexpectedly invisible, and the degree of embarrassment can be imagined.

He couldn't bear it anymore, threw off his sleeves and left, returned to his residence, and the fire in his chest couldn't be suppressed, and it was sent out at Ximenye.

Ximenye let Lu Qian scold, and when his mood stabilized a little, Ximenye said: "Second master, there is one thing you should listen to, the big housekeeper has just lost ......"
