Chapter 192: Easy Rejection!
The sun is shining, the scenery is particularly good, the flowers are in full bloom on the viewing mountain, the Xincheng River stretches and twists and turns, the river is green, and the scenery is really excellent.
Today, the old lady chose to feast here, one is to fancy the scenery here, and the other is that the identity of the guests is not ordinary, all the guests from the Lu family in Jiangning are distinguished guests, where can the old lady not be grandly received?
On the top of the mountain, the old lady sat in the first place, and there was a middle-aged man in a robe sitting at the bottom of her, looking at this person, his eyebrows were low and pleasing to the eyes, his appearance was not good, and there were two small mustaches on the corners of his lips, and his head was lowered, and his expression was very respectful:
"Ancestor, the second wife has been thinking about you in her heart, and she wanted to come over to see your old man when the slave came, but there are too many things at home, and the second wife is in charge of such a big family, and the family can't leave her for a moment, so she can only ask the slave to kowtow to you. This time from Jiangning, Mrs. chose some gifts from Jiangning, all of which are some items that the ancestors can use, and yesterday the slave had already sent the list to the second grandmother......"
Mother Zhang lowered her head and wept, and said, "My girl, has always been the meat of my heart." She is also so ruthless, she has been married for so many years and has not come back to take a look.
I have boiled this old bone until now, and I just point to the day when our mother and daughter will have a chance to meet......"
When the old lady said this, she was sad and emotional, her tone was choked, and the mother-in-law around her also bowed her head and wept, and the other maids looked serious and didn't dare to penetrate the atmosphere.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Zhang's mother raised her eyes and said, "What about Sister Hua?" Hasn't this girl come yet? ”
"Back to the old ancestor, the second grandmother has just come back, and she will rush over here immediately!"
Mother Zhang nodded lightly, and looked at the middle-aged man at the head of the head: "Brother Zheng of the Lu family has arrived at our Zhang family, and my Zhang family treats him and my brother equally.
After you go back, tell my girl, our Zhang family has lived up to her, what kind of temper did her son have before, and now he has been reborn, you might as well inquire in Yangzhou these days, when it comes to Brother Zheng, who doesn't know in Yangzhou? ”
When Mother Zhang said this, her expression had returned to normal, and the middle-aged man from the Lu family was very frightened, and he said: "Ancestor, in addition to Hong Shen's intention to come over this time, the master also has this will. The second master said, all this should be thanked to the Zhang family, especially the ancestors!
Brother Zheng'er ......"
He was halfway through his words, and suddenly a maid said: "Ancestor, the second grandmother and Brother Zheng are here!" ”
When the maid said this, everyone looked ahead, and on the plank road of Guanjing Mountain, Hua Hanyun led a young man, and the two of them quickly reached the top.
Hua Hanyun was very fast, and she giggled: "Ancestor, I've kept you waiting for a long time, Brother Zheng is hard to find, where will he stay this day?" He went to Yushan to study with peace of mind! It took me a long time to find him......"
Hua Hanyun said this, the audience was silent, and the girl who was shallow in the city couldn't help but turn her head and laugh, now everyone in the Zhang family knows that Lu Zheng and the eldest grandmother are getting along, if it was Lu Zheng who went to Yushan to study quietly in the past, it would be reasonable.
Now that the eldest grandmother lives in Yushan, did Lu Zheng go to Yushan to study?
The old lady frowned slightly, glared at Hua Hanyun, but Hua Hanyun's expression remained unchanged at all, and said, "Brother Zheng, it's okay, someone is at home, why don't you come over and talk quickly?" ”
Lu Zheng had seen Hong Shen since he went up the mountain, and he now felt unfamiliar with the Lu family like never before, because he was not Lu Zheng at all, and this body was just his predecessor.
But the wonderful thing is that when he saw Hong Shen, he could think of many things in his mind, Hong Shen was Lu Zheng's father Lu Qian's confidant, and the Lu family asked Hong Shen to come over, which showed that things were done according to Lu Qian's wishes.
This made Lu Zheng a little strange, he had the impression that Lu Qian was a typical old-fashioned feudal, and he had always lived a very self-conscious life, he had never cared about his career and the so-called major events, and he didn't care about the affairs of his family at all.
In Lu Zheng's memory, he never hugged him when he was a child! So don't say that Lu Zheng is a human being in two lives, even if he is still the former Lu Zheng, his feelings for Lu Qian's father should be very light.
Why did Lu Qian send someone to Yangzhou? Could it be that his own talent has such a big impact?
Lu Zheng knew in his heart that the Zhang family was in decline, but the Lu family was no better than the Zhang family, and a little show was nothing to the Lu family, and it should not be enough to alarm Lu Qian.
He took a deep breath, discarded all the distractions in his mind, and respectfully walked in front of Zhang's mother to salute first, and then said to Hong Shen: "Hello Uncle Shen, don't come to harm!" ”
When Hong Shen saw Lu Zheng for the first time, he didn't take his eyes off Lu Zheng, he was too familiar with Lu Zheng, he knew best what kind of virtue this kid was, and what kind of goods he prided himself to be.
But when he saw Lu Zheng today, he was surprised in his heart, because he vaguely felt that the young man in front of him seemed to be a little unable to see through.
Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Sit, sit down, Brother Zheng, your Uncle Shen is here to pick you up today!" Your father is very happy to know about your Lianzhong Sanyuan, no, let your Uncle Shen bring a lot of gifts, hehe, hey, my Zhang family is a blessing, I finally cultivated you, it's okay, you go, my heart is really empty! ”
Mother Zhang's words were extremely emotional, and Lu Zheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandmother, I'm ...... If I don't go back to Jiangning, I'll stay in Yangzhou! ”
"Nonsense! Jiangning is your home, can you not go back? Mother Zhang raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Zheng with slanted eyes, she said that Lu Zheng was talking nonsense, but there was a smile between her eyebrows.
Lu Zheng said: "My grandmother taught me carefully, my uncle cared for me in every way, respect my brother, Brother Hao is like a brother, I ...... How can I be willing to go back to Jiangning?
Also, my grandmother, my teacher is now seriously ill, and his body and bones are no longer good, he is a teacher for one day and a father for life, how can I leave at this moment?
And the second uncle's affairs are also at a critical juncture, although I can't help too much, but I can always help the second uncle give some advice, what is the matter with my departure? ”
Zhang's mother was emotional, Lu Zheng said even more emotionally, and the mothers and maids of the Zhang family present were dumbfounded one by one, if they didn't know the truth, they would really believe Lu Zheng's words.
And Hua Hanyun also got goosebumps all over her body when she heard it, Lu Zheng's ability to talk nonsense really came out of his mouth, and he was much more powerful than her Hua Hanyun!
And he is also very good at figuring out the old lady's thoughts, what does the old lady think in her heart, he cooperates seamlessly, it seems that it is difficult for Hong Shen to take him back to Jiangning.
"Okay, good, good, Brother Zheng, I know you have a good filial piety! But Jiangning is your home, and your father sent someone to pick you up, and it is only right that you can't let you not go back! In this way, you live first, your Uncle Shen is a guest from afar, and he also stays, it is the turn of spring and summer, and you will live until this autumn, and it is almost the same thing that you should do, so let's talk about it when the time comes, okay? Mother Zhang said.
Hong Shen's face on the side changed greatly, where did he work hard to live for half a year? Immediately, he stood up and said, "Ancestor, this can't work, the master ordered, let the slave rush back quickly, and let me bring the third master......"
"That's it! Is Song Qian's brain a tendon? What do you think of your child? Send it if you want to, pick it up if you want to? He is a big man, and he only cares about his official affairs every day, where can he understand the thoughts of us women in the back house?
Brother Zheng'er, this child, I have been taking it for more than a year, and you will take it away if you say you will take it away, regardless of whether my wife's tone is smooth or not? In this case, you let Song Qian come to Yangzhou by himself, and see that I don't point my nose and scold him to death! The old ancestor said coldly.
As soon as she said this, the cold sweat on Hong Shen's forehead trickled down, and his heart was already cold. He never expected to encounter this situation, he never thought that the inability to pick up people would be because of Zhang's mother's obstruction before he came!
It's okay now, Lu Zheng won't meet Jiang Ning with him at all, and when he turns around, the old man blames him, and he can only stand it!
Lu Zheng looked at Hong Shen and said, "Uncle Shen, please go back and explain it well in front of your father, and explain my hardships to my father clearly, it's not that I don't want to go back, but ...... But...... I really have something to do, as soon as the matter here is over, I'll go back immediately, I please! ”
Hong Shen opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, he could only look at Lu Zheng deeply, and only thought in his heart why Lu Zheng had changed so much in just over a year? What did he experience in Yangzhou this year? It's really reborn!
An open-air banquet was very attentive to the Zhang family, and the host was very polite, but the guests did not eat well, and the atmosphere of the banquet ended hastily without getting up.
Hong Shen returned to his courtyard, Qi Biao had been waiting for him in the courtyard for a long time, and when he saw Hong Shen, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Qi Biao has seen Second Master Hong!" ”
"Humph!" Hong Shen snorted lightly and said, "Biaozi, you are great now, you have a long ability." I haven't seen you this year, your bearing is much stronger than in the Lu family, I should call you master! ”
Qi Biao said: "Second Master Hong, there is one thing you may not know, Brother Zheng does not live in the Zhang family now, but lives in a big mansion outside.
Do you know who gave this house to Brother Zheng'er? That is the reward of the prince of Qin, rewarding him for his meritorious service in accompanying him and rewarding him for his meritorious dedication to books, otherwise, would Mrs. Zhang be so enthusiastic about keeping guests? ”
"Ah......" Hong Shen's face changed drastically, he suddenly approached Qi Biao, and stammered: "Biao...... Biaozi, are you serious? Absolutely true? ”
Qi Biao laughed and said, "Second Master Hong, dare you know nothing about our brother Zheng, you don't know anything, where did you get the confidence to take him away?" Please walk around outside, walk around more, ask more, this is my heartfelt advice to you, I hope you can understand my kindness! ”
