Lu Zheng appeased Nie Yong slightly, and the atmosphere between Nie Yong and Lu Lun was barely harmonious.

Nie Yong is an official of the imperial history and has a close relationship with the prince, and not long ago, the Jiangnan power lords collectively fell to the prince because of the game with the king of Qin, and helped the prince to smash the king of Qin.

Nie Yong felt that now was an opportunity to further win over the relationship between the Jiangnan power lord and the prince, so he immediately volunteered to accompany Lu Zheng to visit his predecessors.

At present, the main forces of the Jiangnan lords in the capital, such as Gu Tiansheng of the Gu family, the official worship and ritual department, is the head of Jiangnan in the capital, and Zhang Rong of the Zhang family has now become a scholar, and he is idle in the capital, and he and his son Zhang Chengdong take care of the Zhang family's business in the north!

As for the people of the Chen family, they have been completely estranged from the Gu, Zhang, and Lu families in Jiangnan over the years, and their families moved to the capital, and the Chen family who stayed in Jiangnan was just some side branches, and Lu Zheng had no need to visit them.

The reality may be more serious than imagined, although it is approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the Yamen are closed, and most of the Yamen should be at home at the moment.

However, the greetings sent by Lu Zheng to the Gu family and the Zhang family were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no feedback. It is said that the Jiangnan power valve is in the same breath, Lu Zheng is the leader of the younger generations, and he has the fame of Xie Yuan, and it is too late for the parents to welcome him, how can he be so rejected?

There is no other reason, it must be related to what happened at the Fayuan temple meeting. In today's imperial court, Dai Gao is in power, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to offend Dai Xiang?

Lu Zheng made Dai Shizhang, the son of Dai Xiang, unable to step down in Fayuan Temple, this matter has been fully fermented in the capital, except for those who are watching the excitement from the sidelines, but anyone who can have a little relationship with Lu Zheng can't avoid it now!

Nie Yong was very interested and had a positive attitude at first, and when he saw Lu Zheng touch the nail a few times, he became discouraged and said, "Dai thief is powerful, Brother Zheng, this time you are afraid that you will suffer!" In this current situation, the teacher thinks that you should make plans early, the prince is eager to seek talent, and the teacher hopes to seek the prince's protection for you, you see......"

"Master Nie!" Lu Zheng took a deep breath and said: "There is a way that is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

Master Nie, I have my own decision in this matter, and I hope the teacher can fulfill it! ”

When Nie Yong heard Lu Zheng say this, his eyes widened, he stomped his feet again and again, and finally couldn't resist Lu Zheng's insistence, and in anger, he couldn't help but brush his sleeves away......

Lu Zheng was naturally in a bad mood when he returned to Lu Mansion, and it just so happened that Lu Lun was not in a good mood when he came back from going out, and when he saw Mrs. Su in the back house, he said: "Madam, this time you and I are afraid that you and I will have to return to Jiangnan soon." Zheng'er encountered this when she first arrived in the capital from Jiangnan, hey...... This Chinese New Year, I wanted to go out to contact a few old people, but who knew hehe, they all avoided it! ”

Seeing that Lu Lun was depressed, Mrs. Su smiled and said: "Master doesn't need to be pessimistic, the so-called adversity shows the truth, there are always those who are affectionate and righteous in the world!"

No, Zhang Chengdong, the brother of the Zhang family, came to visit the house early, and I asked Hong Qing to accompany him! ”

Lu Lun was stunned for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, he came to find Mrs. Su, originally to see Mrs. Su's attitude. After all, this incident started because of Lu Zheng, Lu Lun and Lu Zheng are a family, so naturally they will prosper and lose. But from Mrs. Su's standpoint, will he see it this way?

Lu Lun listened to Mrs. Su's words, understood the general situation, took the overall situation into account, and stood on the side of the Su family, he was both relieved and guilty in his heart. I think that when he Lu Lun came to the capital back then, he was also a young man with ambitions!

At that time, he thought that one day he would ascend to the Golden Luan Palace, enter and exit the study, uphold the dawn of the world, do his best for the country, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!

Time flies, decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and until now, Lu Lun is still only a petty official of five or six grades, not to mention Dengjinluan Palace, he has only seen the emperor twice in his life.

As for the others who enter the study, for the dawn of the people, for the country, it is only in dreams, low-level petty officials, buried in the complicated chores every day, day after day, year after year, boring but helpless.

The former young man, his hair has turned gray, and his once straight waist is now rickety, and with a long sigh, Lu Lun had mixed feelings in his heart and almost cried.

Born at the wrong time, Lu Lun's year of fighting was the moment when the Jiangnan power lord was suppressed, no matter how talented Lu Lun is, no matter how loyal he is, no matter how hard he works, his fate in this life is doomed, who made him a son of the Jiangnan power lord?

Right now, Lu Lun is old, but his juniors, Lu Ning and Lu Zheng are not old, especially Lu Zheng, who is just in the prime of his youth, just like Lu Lun back then, he went to the capital as Xie Yuan, isn't it also to have a good future? Isn't it for your own ambitions?

However, Lu Zheng only came for a few days, and he was plotted by others, and he fell into a desperate situation, and now he is embattled and the wind and rain are coming, Lu Lun doesn't know what to do!

At this time, he was extremely angry in his heart, and he was also very helpless. In today's Dakang Dynasty, who dares to offend Dai Xiang? The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them are Dai Xiang's protégés, and a lonely ghost like Lu Lun will never want to be successful in his life.

Chen Zhiqian, the Jiangnan ruler, is now an official servant, and he can climb up because the Chen family has completely fallen to the Dai family over the years, and he is willing to be a lackey of the Dai family.

The dignified Jiangnan power lord has become someone else's lackey, and the price is too great!

Lu Lun's mind was complicated, and he immediately went to the living room in the backyard, the living room, Lu Zheng and Zhang Chengdong had already seen above, seeing Zhang Chengdong, Lu Zheng's mood was extremely complicated, he stepped forward and knelt down in a proper manner, and said: "Lu Zheng has seen his uncle!" ”

Zhang Chengdong trembled, staring at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, and his mood couldn't be calm. He once remembered that when Lu Zheng first arrived in Yangzhou, Lu Zheng was thin and humble at that time, and it was not worth mentioning at all.

In fact, Mrs. Zhang sent Lu Zheng to Yangzhou, but her intention was not to let Lu Zheng go back alive! At that time, all the Zhang family, including Zhang Chengdong, who would have thought that Lu Zheng would be where he is today?

Zhang Chengdong left a way for Lu Zheng to survive, but after Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei went back, they repeatedly harmed Lu Zheng, and as a result, all the conspiracies and tricks were invalid, Lu Zheng not only did not die in Yangzhou, but lived more and more nourishing, and returned to Jinling as a little Sanyuan.

After arriving in Jinling, just a year of hard work, Lu Zheng was in the middle of the Yuan again, the thin boy in the past, has grown up, look at the current Lu Zheng, a talent, personable, gestures, confident and chic, compared to the first-class sons and brothers in the capital.

Zhang Chengdong secretly thought about recalling all the descendants of the Zhang family, and no one could compare with Lu Zheng!

"Zheng'er, my uncle is also far away in the capital, there is a way that it is difficult to go out everywhere, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, read the places where you don't take good care of them, I hope you don't be surprised!" Zhang Chengdong said.

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle, don't say that, I just arrived in the capital not long ago, and I wanted to visit you immediately, but I was entangled in some mundane things."

A few days ago, at the Fayuan Temple Meeting, I had another disaster, and everyone avoided me at the current situation, but my uncle dared to come to see me, and my nephew was inexplicably moved and ashamed. ”

"Haha!" Zhang Chengdong laughed and said, "Uncle is just a businessman, and the so-called people don't ask for others. Above the court, the powerful and powerful have power, and the people who do business with us do business do not enter the river water, what am I afraid of them doing? ”

Zhang Chengdong said these words in a very chic manner, but Lu Zheng saw the incomparable loneliness in his eyes. Zhang Chengdong is not an ordinary person, just from the fact that he knows Master Yan, this person is not ordinary.

Lu Zheng was able to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou and get to know Master Yan in Yangzhou, which was all Zhang Chengdong's kindness, which was enough for Lu Zheng to remember for a lifetime.

Lu Zheng didn't know Zhang Chengdong's story, and he didn't want to ask, at this moment, Lu Zheng was too busy to take care of himself, let alone how to repay his kindness, so all the words were not mentioned at this time!

Zhang Chengdong said: "Brother Zheng, there are thousands of difficulties, and the current difficulties are not as good as back then. Life and death disasters can come over, what other difficulties can stop you?

Although my uncle is just a businessman, but his ability to see people is never weaker than others, those who see profit and forget righteousness, seek advantage and avoid harm, it is not enough, uncle believes that Brother Zheng can tide over the difficulties......"

Lu Zheng and Zhang Chengdong reminisced, Lu Lun came over, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Zhang, it's a sin, it's a sin and a sin, Brother Shi came to the house, but I went out, it's a big sin!"

Today I have instructed the kitchen to prepare a table of home-cooked meals in the evening, and my brother will keep the meal no matter what, and you and my brother will drink and talk merrily......"

Lu Lun has lived in officialdom for a long time, and his ability to deal with people and things is naturally familiar, in fact, although he and Zhang Chengdong both live in the capital, they usually don't see each other.

Jiangnan power valve can't be compared with back then, and now it can be said that it is a plate of loose sand, nominally several people are still in the same breath, in fact, everyone has long swept the snow in front of the door, flawless and careless about others.

Besides, Zhang Chengdong is a businessman, Lu Lun is an official, and the identities of the two are not equal, Zhang Chengdong is doing business, Lu Lun's official is lifeless, but he can't talk about who is good and who is bad, but he has nothing to do, which of the two can take the lead in putting down his face to visit each other?

Today, it is precisely because of Lu Zheng's incident that Zhang Chengdong took the initiative to come to the door, which is why the descendants of the Lu and Zhang families call themselves brothers and sisters, and talk about wine.

Maybe it's because of the immediate Chinese New Year's Eve, or maybe it's because Lu Lun and Zhang Chengdong are both open-minded, the guests and hosts of the dinner are happy, and they don't say a word about the current predicament caused by Lu Zheng, just as if it never happened......
