Chapter 582: Uninvited Guest

"What did the eldest prince and the second prince do yesterday?"

On this day, Zhang Shou, who was dressed more solemnly and formally than when he went to the Wenhua Hall banquet yesterday, met the master Lu Juan, who personally greeted him, at the gate of the Lu Mansion, this public school sacrificial wine, who had always been very calm in front of outsiders, couldn't help but whisper a gossip question that should have been asked by Lu Sanlang, a little fat man.

Regarding the question raised by Lu Xuan, Zhang Shou was also puzzled - the second prince was obviously jumping over the wall and biting indiscriminately yesterday, and the eldest prince seemed to be instructed by someone, but the bunch of words that came out were not so much attacking him, but pit themselves upside down, what did these brothers do?

It's just that everyone has been directly kicked out of the capital by the emperor, and it looks like he wants to make a comeback, unless the world is turned upside down, so he can't figure it out and let it go.

So at this moment, he smiled disappreciatively: "They are already people who may not be able to see from now on, what do they do?" Doesn't Lu Saijiu think that today's crown ceremony of Ling Lang is more important? Although he didn't invite too many dignitaries, after today's incident, Lu Sanlang can be regarded as a person who is in charge. Then came the wedding, which was really fast. ”

"This kid wants to show off all day long, it's too hateful! Fortunately, he is not too stupid, and he asked the East Palace attendant to take turns to do it, and his other classmates in this issue can be wet with rain and dew," said Lu Sanlang was not too stupid, but Lu Xuan's expression looked very pleased. He always felt that this big fat boy was too greedy, but he didn't expect that in front of real profits, people would be able to hold on to it.

And the eldest prince and the second prince who couldn't help but complain to Zhang Shou just now were left behind at this time. Compared with the future of the Lu family, the two water dogs are of course more important than the latter.

Because Ge Yong picked on his thorns in etiquette before, today he was fully prepared in advance, and at this time, from his clothes to the etiquette of personally greeting Zhang Shou, he was meticulous, only when he spoke a little casually at this time.

After all, today is not full of friends, full of guests, and all of them go according to the crown etiquette system in the etiquette from beginning to end, then he and Zhang Shou will all have to die of exhaustion. The most important thing is that he has long seen that Zhang Shou is obviously not very interested in red tape, and Ge Yong's previous provocation only made him pay more attention to Zhang Shou as a guest in disguise.

At this time, the guests and hosts entered the door with a smile, and Lu Juan was talking about who he had invited - there is no doubt that Lu Sanlang did not invite too many elders for this crown ceremony, and the most important elder was Lu Sanlang's future father-in-law, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Works, and the rest of the people who watched the ceremony, including praisers, etc., but Zhang Shou and other students represented by Zhang Chen.

And he even understood Zhang Shou's spirit of giving Jiuzhangtang a holiday today, and invited all the prisoners of Jiuzhangtang's two phases in Beijing to come over to watch the ceremony. In this regard, he has gained a lot of gratitude from Lu Sanlang unprecedentedly, and when he talks about it at this time, he still can't help but sigh a little.

"If it weren't for Dr. Zhang, Lu Zhu's lazy temperament, the best outcome in the future would be just a rich man with a lot of money, and other benefits would be impossible. With your discernment, this is the Lu Saburo who is now a prodigal son who has turned into a genius. What you said when you brought Zhu Ying to the door to save him is worthy of the name. ”

Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Where did I come to the door, and I came to visit with Zhu Ying generously, okay? Of course, if you count a certain key note that Ah Liu quietly got from Lu Sanlang, then it is indeed not wrong to say that his behavior at that time was to find fault.

It was also thanks to Lu Saburo that he knew to leave an emergency code 110 at that time. It's been more than a year......

He was about to make fun of Lu Juan's attitude at that time, but a faint voice suddenly came from behind him: "Young master, there are guests coming outside." ”

Before the concierge of the Lu Mansion could react, Ah Liu suddenly reported the letter first, and Lu Juan couldn't help but be stunned. I've heard that Zhang Shou's henchman arm is magical and powerful, but this is too much, right? Is there really a clairvoyant ear in this world?

But Zhang Shou, who was most familiar with Ah Liu, moved in his heart, and immediately asked, "Did you hear movement on the street outside?" ”

Ah Liu nodded slightly, and saw Zhang Shou throw a look that you better say in detail in case the guy next to him didn't understand - he was sure that it should mean this, so he immediately said with a straight look: "There is a team of twenty or thirty people who are trotting over this side on horseback, and they have slowed down, there will be such a pompous guest visit on this street today, it should be only Lu Fu, right?" ”

Lu Wanden showed a bit of awe-inspiring expression. If Ah Liu's voice is heard, then it is normal to have such ability, but people make this kind of judgment without any abnormal movements, if it is in stealth combat, or ambush and other battlefields, wouldn't this be a miracle? But as soon as he thought about it, he realized that he was no longer the secretary of the military department!

He couldn't help patting his forehead in frustration, and then said thoughtfully: "Lu Zhu's future father-in-law hasn't arrived yet, but he doesn't like to talk about pomp, Zhang Chen's boys who like to hug each other have already arrived, and his two uncles are not top high-ranking officials, let alone put on such a shelf, and I don't seem to have invited anyone else......"

Seeing that Lu Juan was obviously confused, Zhang Shou just had some vague guesses, but at this time, he couldn't help but look subtle.

No...... Is it really like what you think?

Impossible, today is the second day of the feast, of course, the famous Confucian scholars who give lectures will change a batch, and the audience will also change a batch, otherwise going to listen to the lecture every day is a great burden for the lecturers and listeners, it is said that this is also the virtue of Emperor Taizu.

However, there are also people who can't be replaced, for example, the queen mother can still find an excuse not to go, but the emperor who presides over the banquet must be there. No matter how maverick the emperor is, he won't be lazy and run to the Lu family! Well, he must be thinking too much, definitely thinking too much! will run through the market like this to join in the fun, and Miss Zhu, it must be Zhu Ying who is here at this time!

As he was thinking so, he only heard a crisp and hearty voice coming from outside the door: "Ah Shou just entered?" It was such a coincidence, it seems that I arrived neither early nor late! ”

Hearing that it was really Zhu Ying, Lu Juan's brows, which were still frowning slightly, immediately stretched. Although according to the rules, the daughters of each family will only go to participate in other families' ceremonies, as for the crown ceremony, it is all a matter for men, but Miss Zhu wants to come...... Come on, then? Anyway, Zhang Shou, as a guest, is not afraid of any messy rumors that someone will spread.

However, when he saw the person behind Zhu Ying, who walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back, and even had time to look around, he couldn't help but immediately feel numb in his scalp, and he didn't even know what to say!

It's okay if Zhu Ying is here...... But how did she bring the emperor here? Today is the second day of the feast!

Seeing that Lu Juan saw himself as if he had seen a ghost, the emperor suddenly had a slight mustache, and when he saw Zhang Shou, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Ying, the little couple were desperately looking at each other, as if they could talk with their eyes alone, he coughed majestically, and then took the initiative to answer the question and said: "You don't have to look at it, I am tired and panicked for you." ”

"Don't think about it so much, there was such a big mistake yesterday, I have already said it at the court meeting this morning, the feast will be suspended for a day, let the celebrant go to reorganize it, and put out the list of people who lecture every day and those who listen to the lectures, so that everyone has a number in their hearts. If you're going to have a heated debate in front of me, then get ready and don't mess up the battle like you did yesterday. ”

Emperor, your onlookers who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic are too obvious!

Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but he would never say it. But he didn't say anything, the emperor came over with his hands behind his back, but smiled at him and said: "Originally, it would be more appropriate for San Lang and Shiro to come over today, but San Lang is racking his brains with Shiro to do the exercises you assigned, and I can't spare time, so I can only take a look at them on their behalf and go back and talk to them." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou was speechless, the emperor looked at Lu Juan with a smile and said, "What, Lu Qing doesn't welcome me?" You should have more uninvited guests here. Well, at the request of Shan Chang Yue, I have already ordered to summon talents who are proficient in astronomy and arithmetic. There are a few in this land, and now that the people have arrived, although they have passed the preliminary examination, I don't want to hand over the subsequent assessment to Qin Tianjian. ”

The emperor made no secret of his distrust of Qin Tianjian, and when he saw that Lu Juan almost didn't stare at him, he clearly understood what he meant, so he smiled slightly: "So, you have to let the people in your family calm down and don't reveal my identity." Just think of me as an ordinary guest. In this way, I can observe through Lu Zhu the 'talents' who claim to be proficient in astronomy. ”

The Son of Heaven deliberately emphasized the word talent, and Zhang Shou was suddenly a little unsure of the other party's meaning.

Was this a satire that the people who came to answer the call were in vain, or did the emperor have expectations for these people? Does this mean that he will personally check and screen, or is he going to hand over this important task to Lu Sanlang?

After thinking about it, he felt troublesome, so he snorted, nodded and said, "Lu Sai Wine will be according to what the emperor said, just arrange it well." ”

You say it simply! Lu Juan is going crazy, the Son of Heaven comes to the private residence of his subordinates, which is very rare - even if the emperor likes to hang out now, it is famous, this situation is rare, how can he receive it now? The most important thing is that the emperor even hides his identity, but most of the guests who come to the house know this son of heaven!

The former military department Shangshu only felt that his head was about to explode, but the emperor suddenly made a gesture lightly, and one of the guards accompanying him held a box in both hands and sent it to him.

"Since Lu Sanlang is today's crown ceremony, one plus the cloth crown, the second is added to the virtuous crown, and the third is added to the knighthood. I know you're ready for all three, and there's never been a reason to reward that. Yesterday, since someone said that there are a lot of mutton fat and beautiful jade in my treasure house, I went back and asked people to clean up in the storehouse, this jade lion paperweight and that hairpin are rewarded to the little fat man in your family. ”

Lu Xuan's head suddenly grew even bigger. If this is officially awarded, then of course it should be thanked with an extremely solemn ceremony, and then accept it with sincere fear, and at the worst Lu Saburo will come and kowtow in person.

But the question is, now Lu Saburo is in a state of wearing a cloak before the crown ceremony, how can he see people?

What's more, the emperor just asked him not to show off!

In desperation, Lu Juan could only take it first, and after showing his respect and gratitude with both hands, he held the box on his chest and whispered: "In this case, the minister has thanked the emperor for his generous gift, so I will arrange it." ”

Speaking of which, he didn't even think about it, so he directly threw the errand of receiving the emperor to Zhang Shou, and left quickly with these two face-saving but troublesome rewards. And when he left, Zhu Ying, who had just taken the lead, and then was laughing and watching the play next to him, said to Zhang Shou with a smile: "Ah Shou, don't blame me, I met the emperor halfway, but I didn't plan it for a long time!" ”

"Yingying, these four words have been planned for a long time are not for you to use like this!" The emperor was very satisfied that Zhu Ying still had an old attitude towards him after knowing his life experience, and joked with a smile, he saw that Zhang Shou was rubbing his eyebrows there, so he deliberately said with a straight face, "Why, you are so unhappy when you see me coming?" ”

"Because the emperor didn't just come to see the excitement, but also brought trouble." Knowing that the emperor didn't like others to be as solemn as a guest on such an informal occasion, Zhang Shou also simply told the truth, "I originally planned to steal half a day of leisure, but now it's in the soup." ”

"You, the guest of honor today, actually regard such a serious and solemn matter as a crown ceremony, as a leisure? Do you know what a crown ceremony is? Well? The emperor gave Zhang Shou a moment of etiquette lesson, and saw Zhang Shou's expression of listening respectfully, but he obviously didn't listen at all, and Zhu Ying was also in that way, so he didn't bother to pick any more thorns.

"That's you, you dare to talk to me like this, one doesn't care about pretending, and the other doesn't even pretend! What I bring trouble over, others are worried that there is nothing to do, you are in the blessing and do not know the blessing! Don't pretend to be garlic, let Lu Saburo do it, not let Zhang Shou do it. Yingying, don't always feel that I squeeze your wishful husband! ”

Zhu Ying smiled at this time. It is necessary to squeeze Lu Xiaofat, but to squeeze Zhang Shou, it is absolutely not good...... They are going to get married next month, how can Zhang Shou be so empty! At this moment, she completely forgot that Lu Saburo's wedding date was earlier than theirs.

She glanced at Zhang Shou, and saw that Zhang Shou immediately agreed on behalf of Lu Sanlang, and when the emperor took out a pair of elders' shelves, and then asked Zhang Shou to call him uncle, so as not to "reveal his identity", Zhang Shou only hesitated slightly, and actually agreed, she was immediately happy and sad. Rejoicing is that the emperor is now a little as kind to Zhang Shou as he is to his son-in-law, but he is sad ......

's mother and her savior, Zhang Shou's biological mother, are no longer alive.

She accompanied the emperor and Zhang Shou to go inside, and when Lu Juan came out again and welcomed the three of them to the flower hall where the guests were entertained, she suddenly said: "Uncle even gave the little fat man a jade lion paperweight and a hairpin, yesterday Ah Shou was so angry that he even smashed the jade on his body, you should always have a compensation, right?" ”
