Chapter 218: A Secret Promise

After Lu Jing and Jia Lian arrived at Rongxi Hall, they saw that only Wang Ziteng was there, and Jia Yu was gone.

Lu Jing was feeling strange in his heart, so he heard Wang Ziteng say to Jia Lian: "Your father said that he has a few new treasures, and he wants to take them out and appreciate them with us, you go and see where he is, and let him bring a few more, don't fool us with those ordinary things." ”

Jia Lian looked embarrassed after hearing this, if he left again, there would be two guests left in the house, how could it be hospitality.

Wang Ziteng understood his thoughts, and scolded with a smile: "Huai Jin and I are not outsiders, how can we have you with us all the time, you just go!" ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he understood that Wang Ziteng was going to support himself, so he looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing also wanted to have a chance to talk to Wang Ziteng alone, so he smiled and said: "Since Lord Wang ordered, Second Brother Lian went to take a look, and Lord Wang and I are our own people, so there is no need to mind." ”

After hearing this, Jia Lian nodded and confessed to the two of them and left, seeing Wang Ziteng's people wandering around outside the house, which confirmed his guess even more, and there were some doubts in his heart that Wang Ziteng wanted to say something to Lu Jing alone, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly and left by himself.

After there were only two people left in the house, Wang Ziteng looked at Lu Jing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little cold: "Huai Jin doesn't seem to want to see the old man!" ”

Lu Jing hurriedly replied: "The adults are joking, the adults are high-ranking and powerful, and they are elders, how dare the lower officials snub the adults." ”

The prince snorted, pursed the corners of his mouth and sneered: "If you are really close, how can you not even want to call the uncle, but you have been fighting with the old man!" After speaking, he drank tea by himself with a gloomy expression and no longer paid attention to Lu Jing.

Lu Jing knew that it was harmful to talk to someone like Wang Ziteng, so it was better to take a stand straight, so he said in a deep voice: "I am different from adults, so I naturally don't dare to get close." ”

Wang Ziteng slapped the teacup on the table and said with a sneer: "Hehe, don't you take the old man for a fool, what's the matter with you coming to Jia's house today?" ”

Lu Jing was not oppressed by his momentum, and said calmly: "Zai Xia and the Jia family are also in-laws, so naturally they can't ignore their family and people." ”

Wang Ziteng sneered, and said mockingly: "Since there is a involvement, how can you pick it clean?" ”

Lu Jing smiled indifferently: "If you count it like this, the emperor and the emperor are father and son, and there will be no disputes between the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. ”

Wang Ziteng nodded incomprehensibly when he heard this, raised his head slightly and asked: "Since the lotus root is broken, as an in-law, it is to break the bones and tendons, if there is something in the Jia family, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Naturally, righteousness is the most important, taking into account human feelings!" ”

The prince sneered and said, "How can there be the best of both worlds, and if you can't have both, what should you do?" ”

Lu Jing groaned: "The lesser of two evils is the other, and the two benefits are the heavier." ”

Wang Ziteng heard this and began to look at Lu Jing, feeling that with his heart, as long as he was given time, he would definitely have a bright future in the future, and his answer was also echoing his own thoughts, so he continued to probe tentatively: "Since family affection is difficult to give up, why should Huai Jin be in a dilemma, it is better to walk with the old man all the way and ride the wind and waves!" ”

Walking with you will only be beaten to death by the stormy waves, Lu Jing shook his head and said: "There is a way that the situation is difficult to understand and the family is divided, why do you do the opposite?" ”

Wang Ziteng paid more attention to Lu Jing when he heard this, he naturally knew the truth that he couldn't go all the way to the black, but he was testing Lu Jing at the moment, so he didn't answer this question, but continued to persuade: "As you said, the wind and waves are urgent, and you take a light boat alone to float in it, not to mention, there will be a danger of capsizing at any time, and the old man's boat is strong and solid to cut the wind and waves, can resist the wind and rain, and move forward steadily." ”

"There are too many people on the adult ship, the Jia family, the Wang family, the Shi family, and the Xue family, all the families that are close to the adults are on this boat, and then the officials go up, not to mention the crowding on the boat, it is easy to sink the ship if there are too many people." Lu Jing still shook his head and said, very puzzled by Wang Ziteng's thoughts.

Wang Ziteng said in a deep voice: "The wind and waves are too strong, and there must be many people to be able to suppress it, and the line is stable, even if someone falls into the water, they can be fished up." ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "If you can't dock, everything is in vain, once the boat capsizes, everyone will fall into the water, and a few people can swim ashore." Although the light boat is swaying in the wind and rain, it is difficult to withstand the wind and waves, but the boat is small and easy to turn around, and the boat is difficult to turn. Knowing that the wind and waves are coming, how can you fight the wind and rain with your own strength, wouldn't it be better to hide in a safe haven? ”

"What if the wind and waves are too strong and the harbor is washed away?" Wang Ziteng continued to ask.

Lu Jing groaned: "Then take the biggest ship!" ”

Wang Ziteng said coldly: "How can the big ship be so good at that time? ”

Lu Jing said with a smile: "The light boat under has always been locked with the largest ship, and it can be boarded at any time, but this ship is not the other ship, and the adult's boat may not be as stable and fast as this ship." ”

Wang Ziteng asked with deep eyes: "If the old man's big ship accidentally capsizes in the wind and waves, what will Huai Jin do?" ”

Lu Jing's eyes shrank, realizing that Wang Ziteng was afraid that he had another purpose, so he said in a deep voice: "After the wind and waves are calm, I will set sail on a light boat to save some people who have to be rescued." ”

Wang Ziteng said in a deep tone: "In this case, the old man will help you make the light boat bigger before the wind and rain come, if the old man accidentally capsizes the boat, I hope Huai Jin will save more people who have fallen into the water." ”

Lu Jing stared at Wang Ziteng in surprise, he didn't expect him to hit this idea, so wouldn't he be testing himself by saying so much earlier, thinking of this, he suddenly felt a burst of pressure coming, Wang Ziteng really had a deep mind and could not be taken lightly.

If you act according to what he said, although there are risks but the benefits are also great, not to mention that when it comes to this, he has to agree, otherwise Wang Ziteng will inevitably tie himself to the ship, since he regards himself as a retreat, he must not easily harm himself, now bend down and retreat, cultivate wisdom and strength, and wait for the time to move after accumulating strength.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Jing nodded and said, "If you have the strength to catch it, you will do your best." ”

Anyway, with Daiyu here, it will be difficult to completely ignore the Jia family at that time, some of them will still be saved, but who can be saved depends on how far the situation develops, as for the people of the Wang family, it depends on who the emperor will spare at that time.

Wang Ziteng stared at Lu Jing's eyes tightly, and when he saw his calm expression, he withdrew his gaze, which can be regarded as a preliminary agreement with Lu Jing.

After the two finished speaking, they fell silent, and not long after, Jia Yu, Jia Lian, father and son returned to the house with some antique jade.

Lu Jing solved the trouble of Wang Ziteng wanting to pull himself on the boat, and his mood was much better, so he accompanied Jia Yu to appreciate and appreciate these ancient pieces, and when he saw a few of them, he instantly thought of the stone nerd.

Now that the stone nerd has recovered after a few days of recuperation, he can get out of bed and walk around a little, he wanted to leave yesterday, but he was persuaded by himself to let him recuperate for a few more days before leaving, and the province left what the root of the disease.

Wang Ziteng didn't have the heart to enjoy it at the moment, and kept thinking about how to act next, so as to help Lu Jing without a trace, thinking of this, he suddenly realized a problem, now that Lu Jing is married to the niece of the Jia family, if there is something in the Jia family, he will naturally not sit idly by, but he has nothing to do with the Wang family, if he marries directly with the people of the Wang family, if there is no suitable person, Lu Jing's road will be blocked, it is better to pick someone from the Xue family.

It just so happens that the person in the second room of the Xue family is also in Beijing, and his identity is also suitable to be a concubine, since the Mei family wants to withdraw from the family, then he just happens to complete the Mei family, if the Mei family dies, this marriage will naturally be solved, and then he only needs to firmly control Xue Zhen, thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's eyes were cold, and he decided to send someone to kill the Mei family.

Although Lu Jing was talking to Jia Yu, he had been paying attention to Wang Ziteng's every move, and when he saw a cold light suddenly flashing in his eyes, his heart suddenly burst, this Wang Ziteng should not have any more crooked ideas, it seems that even if he secretly forms an alliance, he needs to be careful to take precautions.
