Chapter 269: Two Great Masters!
@: Chapter 269
The Qi family in Jiangning is just a small family, and Qi Qiuyue and Qi Biao, brother and sister, both joined the Lu family as subordinates when they were young.
The neighbors never thought that the Qi family would be able to expand one day, Qi Biao spoke a little stumbling when he was a child, and he was a little stupid in the eyes of everyone, so that he couldn't find his daughter-in-law all the time.
Who would have thought that after Qi Biao passed middle age, the whole person changed, he didn't stumble anymore, he looked clever and mature, and the most important thing was that he was wide, this time after Qi Biao came back, he knocked down the old house, bought a few acres of homestead land again, and built a new three-entry mansion.
Not only that, Qi Biao also found a new daughter-in-law, and it is said that the daughter-in-law is still a yellow flower girl! Qi Qiuyue came back early to help her younger brother Zhang Luo's marriage, and her diet and daily life were all the style of Mrs. Lu's!
The Qi family became famous overnight, and even the status of Qi Biao's uncles and brothers rose with the tide and gained face, Qi Biao's marriage is said to be the second master of the Lu family, Lu Qian, personally as a matchmaker, and all walks of life in Jiangning, but all the characters with a little head and face came to congratulate.
On this day, the entire Qizhai Old Alley was crowded, and the kind of liveliness and prosperity was unprecedented in this alley for decades!
Lu Zheng returned to Jiangning under such circumstances, which was also the first time he returned to Jiangning after going to Liuhe.
He first went to Qi's house and drank his uncle Qi Biao's happy wine, and then returned to Lu's house accompanied by Ying'er, Tongzi and several other relatives.
His status is different now, the Lu family has already arranged a special courtyard for him, although this courtyard is in the second room, but it is adjacent to the old lady, not only the environment is quiet, but also covers a very vast area.
Although Lu Zheng does not live here on weekdays, there are a lot of maids and servants arranged here, and the courtyard is cleaned up inside and out, and it is clean and clean.
Lu Zheng stepped into the courtyard gate and met Hong Quan head-on, Hong Quan leaned his back with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "I know that Brother Zheng should come back, and the old slave has been waiting here!" Will my brother eat and change clothes first, or will he go directly with me to see the old lady? ”
Lu Zheng said: "Old housekeeper, didn't my grandfather go to the yamen today?" ”
Hong Quan smiled and said, "Knowing that Brother Zheng was coming back, the old lady was happy, so she took a few days off. Don't say it, even the slave knows that you are coming back, and his heart is very happy.
Tsk, Brother Zheng of the Lu family, it is really a big name in Jinling at the moment, and people in the Jinling academic circles now say that Brother Zheng is the first genius in Jinling!
Brother Zheng'er's new lyrics "Fixing the Storm" a few days ago, the old lady likes it very much, and he writes a word by hand every day, and there are already four or five "Fixing the Storm" in the study! ”
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, no longer spoken, he had an impression of Hong Quan, this old man will always be by Lu Shanchang's side, in the Lu family he is Lu Shanchang's absolute confidant, and his status is even higher than Lu Qian!
Such an existence, in the past, would he be so polite to three generations of concubines like Lu Zheng? Now that Lu Zheng has this identity, Hong Quan is so flattering and polite!
Lu Zheng heard the boy say that the Lu family has a hidden power, and this power is likely to be controlled by Hong Quan. Moreover, the boy also said that the Lu family is likely to pay extremely close attention to Lu Zheng, and behind this is also Hong Quan's grasp of the overall situation, so Lu Zheng does not dare to have the slightest contempt for the rickety old man in front of him!
Lu Shanchang was in the study, and he was very interested, because the Lu family rarely had a guest today.
"Good man, your study is still the same as the old one used by the grandfather back then, I guess I haven't been here for more than 40 years, and I feel a lot of emotion when I revisit the old place today." In the study, on the guest seat sat Gu Tianyang of the Gu family.
Gu Tianyang, the head of the Gu family in Jiangnan, is not an exaggeration to say that he stomped his feet, and he can make the ground in Jiangnan tremble, but now, he is sipping tea with a kind face, and Lu Shanchang is holding a homely routine.
"Brother Tianyang, more than forty years ago, you and my brother were still young, and the relationship between our two families at that time was not like now! You and my brother really had a brotherly friendship at that time, and it was in this study that my grandfather taught you and me nine chapters of arithmetic together, do you remember? Lu Shan said.
"Remember, remember! At that time, the benevolent learned better than me! Gu Tianyang's interest suddenly became high: "I'm ashamed, Shanchang, we have been a little estranged over the years." Speaking of the reason, it is all for the imperial court to get, the royal family has masters, and the combination of vertical and horizontal is their forte, you see, it has only been a few decades, what has our Jiangnan four families become?
Hey, it can really be said that we are desperate, if we continue like this, we will have no place to stay! ”
Lu Shanchang said lightly: "Brother Tian, we are all looking at Brother Tianyang!" If you have no place to stay, then our Lu family will probably have to kneel and beg. ”
"Good man, don't say that, to say something from the heart, brother, I envy you! The Lu family has Lin'er, and Brother Zheng is now well-known in Jiangnan, but whenever someone mentions him, they will stretch out their thumbs and say a thumbs up!
Even His Royal Highness King Pu appreciates him very much, I heard that for him, His Royal Highness King Pu also made a special trip to the General Administration Department to find Lu Qian, not long ago, His Royal Highness King Pu even hosted a banquet in the Mirage Pavilion. ”
Gu Tianyang's words were very sincere, he paused, and said: "Good elder, a talent like Brother Zheng not only belongs to the Lu family, but also belongs to our Jiangnan power lord!"
This time, Enke Chunqiu, as far as I know, there are a lot of little ninety-nine in it, His Royal Highness King Pu, His Royal Highness King Qin, and the Dai family who have been hidden in the dark, but it can be said that the eight immortals have crossed the sea to show their magical powers.
Brother Zheng is talented and everyone knows it. However, talented people may not be able to win the Toad Palace, and they may not be able to rise to the top. Brother Zheng'er's autumn hair, are you good at planning? ”
Lu Shanchang shook his head lightly and said, "Don't hide it from the heavens, my grandson, I am an ordinary child in the family." He has his own ideas about big and small things, and even if we want to, we can't manage it, we can't manage it.
From Yangzhou to Yingtian, this kid will go all the way by himself, if he is not more and more famous, more and more promising, I don't know when I am a grandfather!
I, through these things, I figured it out, my children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't worry about my children and grandchildren, and Zheng'er's affairs are up to him to break through and make up his mind. My Lu family can help him for a while, but I can't help him for a lifetime.
Whether he is too young or not, it may not be successful, it all depends on himself! Tianyang, I'm not going to put it mildly, with the identity of you and me, in the eyes of those powerful people in the capital, they are two useless old dogs.
At the emperor's place, it is estimated that even the name is gone! You say, how much can we help Zheng'er with our little energy? It's better to let him break through by himself, in my opinion, Zheng'er is better than us, and the future is stronger than us! ”
When Lu Shanchang said this, Gu Tianyang was speechless. He was originally here to lobby Lu Shanchang, and he had chips in his hand! Well, now that Lu Shanchang doesn't take his little bit of chips seriously at all.
At first glance, it seems unbelievable to hear Lu Shanchang's words, but if you think about it carefully, it is really like that. Are there still few talents deliberately cultivated by the Jiangnan authorities in recent years? But where are these talents now? Is there an existence that can be on the table and can help the Jiangnan power valve get out of the predicament?
For Lu Zheng, both Gu Tianyang and Lu Shanchang know each other very well, Lu Zheng is not only a talent who can write a few poems, if it is just like that, he is not enough to make the two masters pay so much attention to it.
The first thing Lu Zheng did when he went to Ying Tian was to grab food from the Gu family's mouth, in Liuhe, he could be said to be overturned, and his various means made the Gu family's subordinates suffer enough, and even Gu Shengjiang, the boss of the Gu family, also fell on his heels and suffered losses.
Liuhe is such a complicated situation, such a difficult situation, Lu Zheng just helped Nie Yong turn things around by tricks, this ability, that is the real ability, this is the reason why Gu Tianyang attaches so much importance to him.
Gu Tianyang looked at Lu Shanchang, he was both envious and annoyed in his heart, envy was because Lu Shanchang had a good grandson, and there were successors to the Lu family. Annoyed is that behind Lu Shanchang's politeness, there is a naked sneer!
Lu Shanchang decided that Gu Tianyang was begging to come to the door today, so he was very confident, he was polite on the surface, but in fact he didn't let a single step, Gu Tianyang wanted to succeed without paying a little price, and there was no door!
"Master, Brother Zheng is here!" Coldly, the housekeeper Hong Quan stood at the door and said in a suppressed voice.
Lu Shanchang and Gu Tianyang stopped at the same time, and Lu Shanchang said: "Quick, let him in!" ”
Lu Zheng entered the door from the outside, kowtowed to Lu Shanchang in a proper manner, and said, "Grandson Lu Zheng has seen grandfather!" ”
Lu Shanchang laughed, his old arms were wide open, he strode over and personally helped him up, and said, "Zheng'er, I haven't seen you for a few months, your body is getting taller and taller!" Okay, okay, my Lu family has Lin'er! ”
Lu Shanchang first praised Lu Zheng fiercely, and then changed his words and said, "Zheng'er, this one is Grandpa Gu, and he came here today to see you!" Call Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Gu has a lot of energy, and I came here today to bring you a rich meeting gift! ”
Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, then his expression returned to calm, he respectfully walked in front of Gu Tianyang, knelt down and saluted: "Lu Zheng has seen Grandpa Gu!" ”
Gu Tianyang saw Lu Zheng for the first time, although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but Lu Zheng's youth still shocked him.
It looks like a child, Gu Tianyang can't imagine that such a child can have that ability, if it weren't for the facts, he would definitely not believe that the child in front of him has that ability.
But soon, he was relieved in his heart, looking at Lu Zheng's expression, he looked very respectful on the outside, but in fact, his every move was calm and calm, which showed that he was extremely calm in his heart.
In the face of Lu Shanchang and his Gu Tianyang, how can they have such a calm person, how can they be ordinary easy people?
