Lu Shanchang returned to Lu Mansion from Yamen, and he was restless all the way.

Ruan Jingnian's words made him very uneasy, what was going on? How could the descendants of his Lu family have anything to do with the Changzhou Ruan family?

But what Ruan Jingnian said about the descendants of the Lu family is young and talented, and the junior three yuan in the boy's test does not seem to be targeted, this time he is really confused, before he finds out the situation, he is really not good at asking!

From Yingtian to Jiangning, it takes half an hour to take the carriage, and when Lu Shanchang arrived at Lufu in Jiangning, the sky was gradually darkening.

He returned to the back house, and several sons Lu Qiao, Lu Chen, and others came to ask for peace and were stopped outside the courtyard, Lu Shanchang went to the study and called the old housekeeper Hong Quan to his side, and told Hong Quan about today's affairs in the yamen, and said:

"Hong Quan'er, this family is basically in your charge, and you know the big and small affairs of the family best. Tell me, what's going on? Does our Lu family have any children of the outer branch or side branch in Changzhou Mansion? ”

Hong is also in his early fifties in the whole grade, not tall, born thin, and has a pair of sharp eyes. He furrowed his brows and pondered carefully, and said, "Old lady, no, our Lu family disciples did not go to Changzhou. This shouldn't be wrong, my Lu clan has set up a ancestral hall genealogy, and the old slave really can't imagine that there will be an outstanding Lu family disciple in Changzhou Mansion......"

Lu Shanchang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said angrily: "Then hell!" Could it be that Lord Shangshu is mistaken? The adult said very clearly, his baby grandson was the first in the county test and the government test, but he was suppressed by my Lu family in the hospital test, and you are now telling me that my Lu family has no children in Changzhou? ”

Hong Quan stood on the spot, only sweating on his forehead, his mind was running fast, and suddenly he stomped his foot and said, "By the way, old lady, it's not Changzhou Mansion, but Yangzhou Mansion...... Zhangjia ......, Yangzhou That ......"

Hong Quan mentioned the Zhang family in Yangzhou, but after thinking about it, it seemed unlikely. Lu Zheng, the concubine of the second room, was sent to Zhang's house, that is, the second wife was intolerant, Lu Zheng estimated that he would have died a long time ago at this time, how could he still get a little three yuan?

Lu Zheng's child Hong Quan has seen it before, but he has been sent to the home school for a few years and knows a few words, where is the talent? This is completely unreliable.

"How...... Yangzhou? Lu Shanchang raised his eyebrows, he clapped his hands and said, "By the way, I'm really confused, the hospital test over there is a combination of three mansions." Do you mean the second child? ”

Hong Quan nodded: "The old slave can think of him as well, otherwise such a big thing, we must have received good news from the side branch, but Lu Zheng doesn't seem to be like this kid, he has only been in Yangzhou for more than a year!" ”

Lu Shanchang snorted coldly and said, "Yes or no, don't you know if you ask?" You go out, I estimate that the second child should come over to say goodbye, you let the third and fourth go back, and let the second child come over to see me! ”

Lu Qian, the second eldest of the Lu Mansion, is dignified and upright, and he is Lu Zheng's biological father.

Lu Zheng won the small three yuan in Yangzhou, and the Zhang family did not publicly report the good news, but Zhang's mother repaired the book and gave it to her daughter. In the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Zhang has been thinking about how to deal with this matter for a while now!

She didn't tell her husband Lu Qian the truth, so Lu Qian was still kept in the dark.

Lu Qian entered his father's study, and was just about to kneel down to say goodbye, when Lu Shan's long nostrils turned to the sky, he snorted coldly, and said, "What's the matter?" If we can't feed our own children, do we have to send them to other people's homes? Your child sent to Yangzhou, it's been a year or two, is there any news of you as a father? ”

"Ah......" Lu Qian exclaimed, he never expected that Lu Shanchang would suddenly ask this question, Lu Qian cared about Ying Tianjiangning's major affairs all day long, and it was the overall situation of the government, and he didn't care much about the affairs of the family at all.

Don't say it's Lu Zheng, he doesn't care much about his son-in-law Lu Jun! Lu Jun had an accident some time ago, Lu Qian beat Lu Jun hard after hearing about it, even the old lady was alarmed, after that incident, Lu Jun hid when he saw his father, and Lu Qian didn't have the heart to care about him.

Lu Zheng is just a maid's concubine, Mrs. Zhang said that this son is blessed, and she wants to send him to Yangzhou to live for a few years, and he didn't ask, as for how Lu Zheng is doing in Yangzhou, he doesn't know!

Now Lu Shanchang suddenly asked, where can he answer? He stood on the spot for a while, stunned and speechless. Seeing Lu Qian's appearance, Lu Shanchang was even more angry, and he said coldly:

"How do you manage this home? The girl of the Zhang family sent her concubine back to her parents' house, what is her intention, are you completely brainless?

The lintel of my Lu family, whether it is a son-in-law or a concubine, is the blood of the Lu family, and when you enter the door of my Lu family, you must keep this in mind, you take care of the people in the family, don't forget this! ”

Lu Qian nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, father, I will be strictly controlled!" Father, is this bad son in trouble in Yangzhou? ”

Lu Shanchang's expression was complicated, and he said coldly: "Who knows? ”

The father and son said this, and at this time, Hong Quan came in again, and said: "Old lady, congratulations, I just looked at the list of boys in the thirteen prefectures of Zhili, Young Master Lu Zheng even won the first three cases, got a small three yuan, became famous in Yangzhou, and was greatly appreciated by Lord Su Qingsu, and now it is said that three-year-old boys in Yangzhou have heard the name of a teenager!" ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Hong Quan said this, Lu Shanchang's father and son exclaimed in unison, especially Lu Qian, he was stupid, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Lu Qian is the concubine born to the girl Qi Qiuyue, Qi Qiuyue is a little stubborn, and the relationship with the master in the back house is extremely bad, and Lu Qian is also a little disliked, so he has never cared much about Qi's mother and daughter.

Lu Zheng's situation, he asked the people around him, but the answers he got were that this son was dull, stubborn, and difficult to promising, and now he ...... Now such a promising guy actually participated in the children's test in Yangzhou, and he also got a little three yuan?

It is not ordinary for a child to try a small three yuan, it is extremely important for a scholar to become famous, for young people, what is faster than a small three yuan to become famous?

The county examination is the first, the government examination is the first, the road examination is the first, and the college examination banquet sits next to the academic and political adults, and this glory is unimaginable for a young student.

The Lu family has produced so many talents, but no one has ever enjoyed such glory! Now Lu Zheng actually got a small three yuan in Yangzhou? And the funny thing is that the Lu family didn't know about such a big thing?

Lu Qian's face was a little unbearable, and Lu Shanchang was even more angry, he pointed his finger at Lu Qian and said, "You...... You're a father! People like you are also the most unfilial, such a big thing, no one in the whole family knows about it, if it wasn't for outsiders to tell us, we would all be in the dark!

Catch up with Ming'er, our Lu family will come out to understand the yuan, and there may be no one in the whole family who doesn't know, is this such a joke? ”

Lu Shanchang was really angry, he was really embarrassed when he thought about today's daytime. When something like this happens, what will Ruan Shangshu think of him?

He praised Ruan Shangshu's grandson vigorously, but his powerful grandson was compared to the descendants of the Lu family, can Shangshu feel comfortable in his heart?

In Lu Shanchang's view, all this is caused by Lu Qian, for the big family, the most important thing is talent, the children of the big family, only talent first, in order to absorb talents, every family will pay a huge price for it.

According to the rules of the Lu family, the Lu family's own family and side branches, anyone who adds Ding must be reported as soon as possible, and various matters such as junior enrollment, scientific examinations, marriage matching, etc., must be reported to the family, and the family will have a special person to register and make a register.

As long as there are good seedlings among the descendants of the Lu family, they will inevitably get the attention of the family for the first time, and the family will formulate a set of training plans according to their qualifications, and it is precisely because of this that the Lu family can still maintain a strong influence for nearly a hundred years.

And this time, the disciple of the Lu family, the grandson of the patriarch Lu Shanchang, actually made such a big oolong, if this matter is known to the other side branches of the family, it is estimated that he will laugh off his big teeth!

Lu Shanchang scolded him, and Lu Qian was scolded so much that he was scolded.

Coming out of Lu Shanchang's study, Lu Qian returned to the courtyard of the second room, called Mrs. Zhang over, and vented all the evil fire on his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what was going on at first, and she felt that she was very wronged, but later Lu Qian shook out the matter of Yangzhou Lu Zheng's little Sanyuan, and said that her father was ugly in front of Ruan Shangshu because of this incident, and she was furious, and Mrs. Zhang immediately panicked.

She never thought that the old lady would know about this matter so quickly, she originally wanted to cover it up, and find another way, but now it's okay, her plan is completely useless.

She was extremely sorry in her heart, but Lu Qian was unforgiving, the husband and wife had a big quarrel in the courtyard, and Mrs. Zhang finally let go, and said with tears in her eyes:

"It's all my mistress who has committed a capital crime! You don't want to think about Lu Zheng's goods, that virtue, if it weren't for my Zhang family's careful cultivation and careful care of him, he would be able to have such a talent?

They all say that my mother-in-law is not good, and she sends her concubine to her mother-in-law's house, but have those who chew the root of their tongue ever thought about it? If it weren't for me, the mother-in-law, with the fox of the Qi family, would she be able to teach the boy to try the little three yuan? Mrs. Zhang took all the credit for herself.

Mrs. Zhang scolded her, but Lu Qian was at a loss, he usually didn't care about his family, and he didn't know anything about the family.

It is said that Mrs. Zhang in the second room can't tolerate a concubine, and he also understands this in his heart, but when he heard Mrs. Zhang's words, he faintly felt that it made sense.

Lu Zheng went to Yangzhou to get the third yuan of the middle school, if he had stayed in Jiangning, maybe there would really be no such opportunity!
