Chapter 201: Distinguished Guest Arrives!
"Old lady, old ......" Xu Da, the housekeeper outside the Lu Mansion, hurriedly entered the courtyard from the outside, and when he saw Hong Shen at the door, he was slightly stunned, but he didn't stop and continued to walk into the courtyard.
"Ah......" When he saw the situation in the courtyard, his face turned white with fright, God, the second master actually ...... Unexpectedly......
Subconsciously, he turned around and was about to escape, Lu Shanchang said coldly: "Xu Da, what's the matter?" β
Xu Da stood still, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "That...... There was a guest outside the door who came to the door to ask to see the second master, and the visitor claimed to be Lord Nie Yongnie, the county commander of Liuhe County, Tianfu......"
"Huh?" Lu Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and said, "Xu Da, is this really the person?" β
Xu Da said "uh......, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know Nie Yong, where could he tell the truth from the fake? He pondered for a moment and said, "Back to the second master, the person who came was wearing a six-grade official uniform, and he should ...... It's me, no doubt. β
Lu Qian looked at Lu Shanchang and said, "Father, I have no contact with this Lord Nie!" β
Lu Shanchang frowned and said, "What is the origin of this Lord Nie?" β
Lu Qian said: "I have heard of this person's name, it is said that it is Zhan Tianqi's person, originally the competition for the county order of Liuhe County was very fierce, and all forces had candidates, but in the end, this Nie Yong took the lead, which caused a lot of waves in Yingtianke!" β
Lu Shanchang raised his hand and said, "Get up!" Lu Qian stood up in a proper manner and said, "Father, this person came to the door, the origin is unknown, do you say I see it or not?" β
Lu Shanchang turned his head to look at his son, and when he saw that there were bruises on his face, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "What do you think of yourself?" β
Lu Qian pondered for a while, and said: "Nie Yong is not a big official, but his background is not small, the prince's people have always been cautious in Jiangnan, and they have almost no intersection with the Jiangnan authorities, this time he came to the door in person, not avoiding ears and eyes, if he doesn't see it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" β
Lu Shanchang glanced at Hong Quan, and Hong Quan said: "Old lady, the slave thinks that not only will you see it, but you will also see it in person." This six-rank official is unusual, his rule is where the Nanfu Army is stationed, and the Jiangnan camp is under his nose! β
As soon as Hong Quan said this, Lu Shanchang's eyes flashed, what kind of army is the Nanfu Army? This army used to be the private soldiers of the wealthy lords in Jiangnan, Taizu attacked Jinling, and the Nanfu army opened the city to welcome Taizu, so that the battle of Dakang Jiangshan was decided.
This time, that period of history has been a hundred years, and the Nanfu Army has long been returned to the imperial court, and the Jiangnan rulers can't even mobilize a single soldier of the Nanfu Army now, and now the governor of the Nanfu Army is Zhan Tianqi!
The provinces in the south of the Yangtze River relied on the Nanfu army to live in, Nie Yong served as the county commander in Liuhe, and he was precisely Zhan Tianqi's person, this identity was too sensitive, he personally landed at the door of the house, and the Lu family gave him a closed door, and there will definitely be countless gossip in the court in the future.
"Open the middle door, I will meet guests in Dongpo Zhai, second, you will meet guests together!" Lu Shan said.
The door of the Lu family opened, and the old housekeeper Hong Quan personally went to greet Nie Yong outside the middle gate, he saw Nie Yong for the first time, and found that Nie Yong was so young, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Listening to Nie Yong's accent again, the other party turned out to be a Beijing film, and he was even more shocked in his heart, the relationship between the southern court of Dakang and the capital is very delicate.
Many of the officials of the Southern Imperial Court on the Jiangnan side are from the capital, but most of the officials below are local to Jiangnan, because the Southern Imperial Court already has a ministry, and the capital rarely asks about the personnel here.
Nie Yong has a small county order, but he is from the capital, which cannot but attract attention.
Hong Quan led Nie Yong all the way to Lu Shanchang's Dongpo Zhai, Lu Shanchang wore a three-grade official uniform, and said with a smile on his face:
"Hehe, early this morning, the old man felt that the magpies in the yard were crying happily, it turned out that Lord Nie was going to come to the door! Lord Nie, please, serve tea to Lord Nie! β
Jiangnan power valve, first-class family, the aura is naturally extraordinary, look at the luxury of the Lu family here is more prosperous than the southern court yamen, although the wealthy power valve does not have the peak scenery of the year, but it is still not to be humiliated.
But who is Nie Yong? He is a person who even dares to offend Dai Xiang, what is this coercion of the Lu family in front of him?
He immediately bowed deeply as a salute, and said without humility or arrogance: "It turned out to be Lord Shilang, how can the kid be virtuous, Lord Lao Shilang saw it in person, I was really flattered!" β
Nie Yong said that he was flattered, but there was no trace of shock on his face, he was very calm.
Lu Qian also came over to greet Nie Yong in his official uniform, and Nie Yong said: "Lord Lu, Xia Guan took the liberty today, Lord Lu was not frightened, right?" β
Lu Qian couldn't let go in front of his father, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Lord Nie is too polite, I'm just a few years older, hehe!" β
Nie Yong laughed and said, "Lord Lu, I heard that the Lord has been making a lot of fanfare recently, and he wants to wave the flag for that thief. Don't you know that I, Nie Yong, am the mortal enemy of the thief?
I was an official in the Hanlin Academy in the capital, but I didn't despise the tyranny of the thief father and son, so I was reprimanded to Jiangnan. It's no wonder that adults don't dare to see me easily, even the squire is shocked, I have such a big face! β
When Nie Yong said this, Lu Qian's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that Nie Yong was said to be really incompatible with Dai, and now he was screaming one by one, which was very harsh.
After all, Dai Xiang is the prime minister of the dynasty, and Nie Yong directly called him "Dai Thief", his courage is really not ordinary.
Lu Shanchang stared at Nie Yong and said lightly: "Lord Nie, please sit down and drink tea, this is Jiangnan, not the capital." We Jiangnan people are hospitable, and Lord Nie is a guest from afar, how can our Lu family not welcome it?
As for the grievances between Master Nie and Dai Xiang, hehe, my Lu family can't even take care of the affairs of Jiangnan, where can I take care of the capital? It's a shame to say that it is difficult for my Lu family to have a place to stand in the capital! β
After all, Lu Shanchang is old and spicy, and the embarrassment was resolved in a few words, the maid served tea, Nie Yong picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, Lu Shanchang said:
"I don't know why Lord Nie came to the door today?"
Nie Yongdao: "Don't dare to hide it from Lord Lang, the lower official came this time to ask Lord Lu to come!" I didn't expect to see Lord Shilang at all, since Lord Shilang is here, then I, Nie Yong, will ask you too! β
Nie Yong paused and said, "Lord Shilang doesn't know, I have been an official in Yangzhou before I came to Yingtian. I have been an official in Yangzhou for three years, and I have to meet Lu Zheng, the grandson of the adult, Lu Zheng is young and talented, and I personally named him as the head of the case, so I have a teacher-student friendship with him.
This time, I heard that Brother Zheng has returned to Jiangning, and I am not afraid of adult jokes when I say it, I just took office in Liuhe, it can really be said that it is a cat on the front fence, and a lackey on the back fence, it is difficult to stand up!
No, if Brother Zheng can help me, I can use his talent to stabilize the county school first and suppress the readers, I can get a big help. Don't worry, Brother Zheng and I have the status of master and apprentice, and we will definitely not let him be wasted in my studies. I'm a northerner, and I can only trust my disciple and protΓ©gΓ© at a critical time, Lord Shilang, don't you say? β
Nie Yongwei said his intentions, and this time Lu Shanchang and Lu Qian were stunned, especially Lu Qian, who couldn't believe his ears.
My God, yesterday there was a talented man at the gate of Lu Mansion who came to Lu Zheng, this incident was enough to make Lu Qian feel frightened, and today Lu Shanchang and a pair of "Will Enter the Wine" made Lu Qian collapse.
Now Nie Yong, the most popular county commander in Tianfu, came to the door in person because of Lu Zheng, Lu Qian didn't know when he gave birth to such a promising son, looking at Lu Zheng's posture, he was more powerful than his son Lu Qian.
Lu Zheng is still in Yangzhou, Jiang Ning and Ying Tian have set off such a big wave, where is this to put Lu Qian?
Lu Shanchang's thoughts are different from Lu Qian's, Lu Shanchang has recently studied Lu Zheng quite a lot, mainly because of his boss Ruan Shangshu.
Last time, Lu Shanchang caused a misunderstanding in front of Ruan Shangshu, and he has been trying his best to make up for it recently, to his surprise, Ruan Shangshu actually mentioned Lu Zheng several times, and also recited Lu Zheng's poems, Lu Shanchang was really shocked at that time.
Lu Shanchang has always been worried that there is no successor, that is, there is no successor among the descendants who can withstand the burden of the family, and now he suddenly has a grandson who makes Ruan Shangshu praise endlessly, and he doesn't know this grandson, he doesn't understand, you can imagine how big the impact in his heart is.
He originally thought that Lu Qian would be able to bring Lu Zheng back by sending someone to Yangzhou, but he didn't expect that Lu Qian didn't do such a trivial thing, and the annoyance in his heart can be imagined.
Now, Nie Yong begged to come to the door again, he hoped that Lu Zheng could follow him to Liuhe to study as a teacher of Lu Zheng, and he bluntly said that he admired Lu Zheng's talent and hoped that Lu Zheng could help him stabilize the situation in Liuhe.
Lu Shanchang only felt ridiculous, people outside the Lu family regarded Lu Zheng as a treasure, but the Lu family himself regarded Lu Zheng as a grass. Lu Qian, as Lu Zheng's biological father, doesn't know as much about his son as outsiders, is there anything more ridiculous in this world?
The Lu family has been talking about Lu Zheng recently, and most people say that Lu Zheng is just a small showman, not worth mentioning, in fact, a showman is really nothing in the Lu family.
But now this series of events has made Lu Shanchang can't help but ask, is Lu Zheng really just a little showman? A small show can make Lord Shangshu ask questions, and let Nie Yong of Liupin personally come to the door to ask someone?
The scene was a little weird, but after all, Lu Shanchang was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, so he quickly came back to his senses and immediately said:
"Master Nie, after talking for a long time, it turned out to be my own family! The inferior grandson Lu Zheng is fortunate to be taught under Lord Nie, it is really the creation of this kid, come on, change the seat of Lord Nie! β
Lu Shanchang stood up and invited Nie Yong to take a seat, the Lu family respected the teacher, Nie Yong was Lu Zheng's teacher, and he was the honored guest of the Lu family, and his reception specifications would naturally be raised.
Of course, the so-called elevation is more of a gesture, which shows that in Lu Shanchang's heart, Lu Zheng has been put in an extremely important position, otherwise, there are so many children and grandchildren of the Lu family, why can Lu Zheng's teacher be different from others?
