@: Chapter 308

The Lu family is very lively today, and at the gate, guests from all major families are hugging each other, and such a grand occasion has not been seen for many years.

Ruan Jingnian is a household secretary, and the head is a second-grade black gauze hat, which is a grade higher than Lu Shanchang, Lu Shanchang has a long life, and he is here in person, which can be said to give Lu Shanchang enough face.

Gu Tianyang of the Gu family is also an official residence, and today he also came to congratulate Lu Shanchang on his birthday. Such a scene of powerful people gathering is not easy for the current Lu family.

Lu Shanchang smiled all over his face, and ushered in the send-off, but he secretly sneered in his heart.

If the Jiangnan authorities had been in the same spirit, they would not have fallen into the current situation over the years. The defeat of Jiangnan was defeated in the internal strife, the first emperor was a master of vertical and horizontal, he provoked the contradictions within the major families in Jiangnan, let everyone fight infighting, and then he sat on the profits of the fisherman, the result was that the Jiangnan power lord collapsed, and the son of the Qin Wangfu almost stepped on the first Gu family in Jiangnan when he came to Jiangnan.

Rao is like this, the current situation is good for the Gu family or the Ruan family, they are polite to the Lu family on the surface, but they are actually extremely vigilant against the re-emergence of the Lu family! It is estimated that the arrival of Ruan Jingnian and Gu Tianyang today has ulterior motives!

Lu Shan's Great Wall Mansion was very deep, but at this time, there was always a strong uneasiness in his heart. He even regretted that he had organized a birthday banquet this time.

Speaking of which, the Lu family is too anxious, too eager to rise, and this is especially true of Lu Qian. Lu Shanchang commented on his second son in four words: Zhi Da is talented and sparse. Lu Jun had an accident in Yingtian, and there were many stories behind it, and a lot of problems were exposed.

The intrigue within the Jiangnan power lord is on the one hand, the long-term decline within the Lu family has long been decayed, and there is no one under Lu Shanchang to use, which is especially fatal.

If Lu Jun is gone, he can't hurt the Lu family too much, but if Lu Zheng is implicated because of Lu Jun's matter, and the Lu family seedlings that Lu Shanchang has spent so much effort cultivating are destroyed, what hope does the Lu family have in the future?

On the Zhang family's side, he was able to enter the door until the end, Zhang Chengxi respectfully stepped up and saluted the juniors: "Lu Shibo, the junior Chengxi congratulated Shibo on his birthday!" ”

Lu Shanchang hurriedly walked to Zhang Chengxi's side, held Zhang Chengxi's arm with both hands, and said: "Chengxi, it's good to come, it's good to come, I've heard about you, and said that it was to make up for the lack of the county order, which is very good!"

It is a great honor for young people to be able to shepherd the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it is also an unprecedented opportunity, and you must take advantage of it! ”

Zhang Chengxi didn't expect Lu Shanchang to be so enthusiastic, he was flattered for a while, and he was so excited that he was incoherent. To tell the truth, when he saw the scene of the Lu family's birthday banquet today, he was very ashamed of himself, and felt that he was also a powerful family in Jiangnan, and the Zhang family and Jinling were not on the same level at all!

Under such a mentality, to be treated so warmly by Lu Shanchang, his mood can be imagined, and Lu Shanchang said: "This time when you come to Jiangning, you must not be in a hurry to leave, and you will stay for a while!" ”

"I heard that your child Haoran is a good learner, and he will live in Jiangning when he turns around, and the academy here in Jinling is still better than Yangzhou. Haoran won the show, and if he lives in Jiangning, he will definitely be able to pass the examination in the future......"

Zhang Chengxi hurriedly called Zhang Haoran over to salute Lu Shanchang, Lu Shanchang admired Zhang Haoran very much, praised him fiercely, and everyone in the Zhang family was in a good mood.

Lu Shanchang is a third-grade official, and his status is the same as that of the old lady of the Zhang family, and they can't touch such an existence in Yangzhou at all.

Now that Lu Shanchang is so enthusiastic about the Zhang family, everyone feels that he has face! They couldn't understand Lu Shanchang's mood at this time, in Lu Shanchang's heart, he was tired of the hypocrisy of the Ruan family, the Gu family and other families, and the Zhang family and the Lu family were in-laws, and the Zhang family was not at the same level at all compared to the Lu family.

Everyone else wanted to see the jokes of the Lu family, but the Zhang family would definitely not do so, so Lu Shanchang said a few more words to them. As for praising Zhang Haoran, it is because Lu Jun has just had an accident, and he hopes that Zhang Haoran can stay in the Lu family, so that Mrs. Zhang can have one more thought, so that there will be less trouble in the second room.

The guests of the Zhang family have arrived, the guests have basically arrived, and the Lu family's banquet today is held in Qiancao Garden, and a high platform has been set up in Qiancao Garden, and all the VIPs have sat on the high platform.

On the Zhang family's side, only Zhang Chengxi could have a place on the high platform, and the rest of the people were arranged in the scattered seats below.

On the right side of the banquet is the place where the ladies eat, and at this time, the old lady of the Lu family has already led many ladies to sit down. Mrs. Zhang's face was haggard, Hua Hanyun supported her, and she was followed by a group of maids and servants, all nervous and careful, walking on thin ice.

Lu Qian didn't greet guests at the door today, on the side of the VIP seat, he enthusiastically came over to talk to Zhang Chengxi, from his face, he couldn't see too much pain of losing a child, but between his eyebrows, he couldn't hide the endless haze.

Zhang Chengxi pondered for a while and said: "Brother-in-law, I heard about Brother Jun'er, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and many things are undemanding!"

But there is one thing, Brother Jun really shouldn't go to Liuhe, brother-in-law, don't forget Brother Zheng'er's misunderstanding of your aunt and grandmother! ”

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Lu Zheng, this rebel, I will definitely not be able to spare him when I turn around!" If he can't give an explanation of this, I'll ...... I...... I ......"

He said three times in a row, and a laugh came from behind him, saying, "Brother Lu Qian, don't come to harm!" You and I haven't seen each other for several years, tsk, tsk, my brother is now an official of the imperial court, and I, a flat-headed person, have a rare opportunity to meet you! ”

As soon as Lu Qian turned around, he saw that the person who spoke was Gu Shenghai, the fourth elder of the Gu family, he frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Shenghai, you can just say that you are angry, do you and my brother still see each other like this?" ”

Gu Shenghai laughed and said, "I don't see you, I definitely don't see you, you and my brother must have a drink, okay?" ”

At the banquet, there was a lot of commotion, and everyone was talking to each other and exchanging pleasantries. In fact, today's banquet is not only a birthday banquet, but also a place for everyone to call friends, many people who are not usually seen, today on this occasion are gathered, naturally everyone takes what they need.

It's just that the people below are chatting very lively, and today the three big guys, Lu Shanchang, Ruan Jingnian and Gu Tianyang, are all sitting on the Taishi chair, and there is no communication with each other.

Gu Tianyang's spirit seemed to be very bad, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, as if he had completely fallen asleep.

Ruan Jingnian stared at the small jade piece in his hand and admired it repeatedly, as if that small piece of Hetian jade contained a huge world.

Lu Shanchang's heart became more and more uneasy, Hong Quan didn't know when he got behind him, he stood up and said, "What's the matter?" Haven't you come yet? ”

Hong Quan shook his head and said, "No news yet!" ”

Lu Shanchang stood up suddenly, Gu Tianyang suddenly opened his eyes, and said, "Elder Brother Shan, what are you going to do here?" ”

Lu Shanchang glanced at Gu Tianyang, his eyes flashed, and in the end, he didn't move, but said: "I'm old, sedentary and tired, I'm worried that if I fall asleep like Brother Gu, then today's banquet will be ugly!" ”

Gu Tianyang laughed and said, "Elder Brother Shan's birthday today, this is a great joy. I will come to congratulate such a happy event, that is, I hope that my brother can live longer than Nanshan and be as blessed as the East China Sea!

I don't know, why is this banquet not open now? Could it be that my brother still has a distinguished guest who has not arrived? ”

Lu Shanchang frowned slightly, the reason why the banquet was delayed was because Lu Zheng hadn't arrived yet! Lu Shanchang was very uneasy in his heart, but could he say this?

After all, Lu Zheng is just a junior, a little junior, what qualifications does he have to make the seniors wait for him?

The scene was embarrassing, Lu Shanchang didn't know how to speak for a while, and at this moment, a ghostly old man in black clothes appeared behind Gu Tianyang, the old man lowered his head and said a few words in Gu Tianyang's ear.

Gu Tianyang was slightly stunned, his eyes instantly brightened, and then quickly returned to normal, he laughed and said, "Brother Lu, I'm joking with you!" I'll wait for the guest to do whatever I want, haha! ”

Gu Tianyang laughed, laughing extremely weirdly, and at this time, Hong Quan, who had just left, staggered over like an old dog.

Looking at his appearance, he is really tired like a lost dog, and his already old face now looks more like he is ten years old.

When Lu Shanchang saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, his eyes widened, and he almost blurted out.

Hong Quan had already come to his side at this time, and said in a low voice: "Old ...... Old...... Too...... Too...... Master, Brother Zheng is out of ...... Something happened, it was attacked on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and it was gone! I...... I...... I ......"

Steady as Hong Quan, at this time it has already been messed up, only he knows what this news means, which means that the Lu family is finished, completely finished!

He Hong Quan boasted that he was in control of the Lu family's hidden forces, thinking that everything was under control, but in fact, others had already calculated him in it, and this time it was a fiasco for him!!

Lu Shanchang didn't have the heart to listen to Hong Quan's words later, his whole expression was completely frozen, his eyes swept over the banquet scene, today's banquet was so lively and prosperous, but what he saw in his eyes was only a gloom.

The anger in his chest was difficult to suppress, and he had a strong impulse, that is, he immediately rushed to Gu Tianyang, two old lives at the same time, and everything was clean when he died!

The entire VIP platform gradually became quiet, because the news spread quickly, and soon everyone on the VIP platform knew what was going on, the matter on the banks of the Qinhuai River was so big, it couldn't be covered at all, and everyone had minions who ran errands, and at this time the news was passed over one after another!

"His Royal Highness King Pu has arrived!" A shrill voice suddenly sounded at the door, and when this shout came out, the whole audience shook......
