"My family wants to get close to Uncle Shiheng, and we have to go back to the former Han Dynasty."

Lu Shiheng is Lu Ji.

Under Zheng Sheng's incredulous gaze, Lu Yun actually explained her origin thoroughly.

"Ancestor Lu Baosheng had two sons, the eldest son Lu Wei and the second son Lu Kang. Kang's son Lu Ji, Ji's son Lu Rui, Rui's son Lu Xu, Xu's son Lu Xian. Lu Xian is his father. Our family is not prosperous, and there have never been big names like Lu Xun and Lu Kang. It is a very weak branch of the Lu clan of Wu County. When he was in Wu, his grandfather served as a county magistrate in Changsha, and his father also served as Jiangxia Ling, and was later framed and dismissed from office. It was not until the Taikang period of this dynasty that Jingzhou Dazhongzheng was elected as the Xuzhou Tanxian Order, and then transferred to the Jiangling Order. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded, Jiangling Order? Gangneung, this place is a little familiar, huh?

"Shizi, Jiangling is in Jingzhou South County, and Tan County is in Xuzhou Donghai County." Liu Wei'er whispered.

Zheng Sheng nodded, and after being reminded, he knew what Jiangling was: Jiangling in Nanjun was a very important town in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou had the big cities of Xiangyang, Jiangxia, and Wancheng, and Jiangling was further down.

Lu Yun was very surprised by Liu Wei'er's performance, she couldn't help but take a closer look at her, and found that this girl's temperament was very elegant and beautiful. The most important thing is that she and Zheng Sheng get along very well.

Lu Yun's heart was a little confused, and she looked at the two people in front of her silently.

Unable to hear Lu Yun's voice, Zheng Sheng and Liu Wei'er discussed the Lu family's genealogy.

"The Lu Xun that Lu Gongzi said is the ancestor of Lu Ji and Lu Yun. The son of Lu Jun is Lu Jun, the son of Lu Jun is Lu Xun, the son of Lu Xun is Lu Kang, and the son of Lu Kang is Lu Ji, Lu Yun, etc. Liu Wei'er sorted out the genealogy of the Lu clan for Zheng Sheng from front to back.

Zheng Sheng nodded, and sorted out the Lu family tree, it can be seen that Lu Yun is indeed Lu Ji's niece, but she is not a niece, but a family nephew.

Zheng Sheng was even more puzzled because of this, Lu Yun was so open and honest, and he did not hide his shortcomings, which can be described as full of sincerity.

But how can there be such negotiations in the world?

Whether it is assistance or cooperation, people must always magnify and magnify their own advantages, and hide, avoid, and fool out their shortcomings, that is, they should make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

But Lu Yun's sincerity is too great, in Zheng Sheng's opinion, he should have begged her for help, but now the "supply and demand" seems to be reversed.

Zheng Sheng coughed and woke up Lu Yun, who had been staring at him and Liu Wei'er, and was deep in thought.

Lu Yun looked at him inexplicably, and said softly: "In the Jiangling Order, my father didn't dare to say that he had made too many achievements, but he was diligent and never dared to slack off. But more than two years ago, my father offended Shi Chong, the new assassin of Jingzhou at that time, and was excluded everywhere in Jingzhou officialdom. ”

Zheng Sheng realized when he heard this, it turned out that her family was also in a huge crisis.

"After leaving the dynasty, my father and Uncle Shiheng gradually exchanged more letters. The relationship between her father and Shi Thorn Shi deteriorated, and the little girl took her father's letter to Luoyang to meet Uncle Shiheng. But not long ago, his father was seriously ill and was coerced by Shi Thorn Shi to resign from the post of Gangneung Order. I also returned to Jingzhou from there. ”

Zheng Sheng felt that what Lu Yun said was true, then the two of them really had a common enemy-Shi Chong.

Lu Yun's mind is to cooperate against Shi Chong, right?

I only heard Lu Yun continue: "When I returned to Jingzhou, I heard about the Zheng family's recent experience. The history of stone thorns actually looted along the road, and he was really unworthy of being an official. If you and I can join forces, it will definitely reduce a lot of pressure. ”

Zheng Sheng objected: "This is not fair, your father is just an official in Jingzhou, and he has left office now." It's just such a verbal agreement, if you can't resist Shi Chong's pressure, you can go back to Yangzhou directly. Isn't my Zheng going to face it on his own? ”

"Zheng Shizi doesn't know that my family has settled in Jiangxia City since my grandfather was an official in Jingzhou. Although the family business is not big, it does not mean that you can go back to Wu County. ”

Zheng Sheng nodded clearly, so it was reasonable.

"Lu Gongzi, our Nanyang Zheng Clan and your Jiangxia Wu Clan may not be able to deal with the Stone Thorn History if they join forces. The union you said was just the joint force of our two families, and dealing with the Shi clan would still be the result of hitting the stone with an egg. Liu Wei'er said softly.

"It's man-made, since our two families have common opponents, if we don't join forces, we can only be bullied. I'm afraid this is not what Zheng Shizi wants to see! ”

Zheng Sheng was silent, it was good to have one more helper, but the strength of this helper was really not big. Seeing that Lu Yun hurriedly returned to Jingzhou, her purpose of going to Luoyang to ask for help from her uncle in the clan was obviously not achieved. Perhaps, Lu Ji and Lu Yun are not willing to offend the Shi family because of the marginal little people in the family.

But without the reputation of the Lu family of Wu County, the fate of Lu Xian's family may be even more tragic.

"I don't know, how did Father Ling offend Shi Chong?" Zheng Sheng suddenly asked curiously.

"It's just that at a banquet, my father doesn't want to drink. Stone Thorn actually killed the maid who poured wine for my father, and at the same time made him resentful of his father. ”

Zheng Sheng shook his head: "Shi Chong is killing chickens and making an example of monkeys!" ”

Two years ago, it was the time when Shi Chong first took office, and it was naturally not surprising that he wanted to subdue the officialdom and catch only the "monkeys" who refused to obey discipline.

Looking at it this way, Lu Xian is indeed very unlucky.

Zheng Sheng drank tea silently, he weighed the pros and cons, should he unite with the Lu family?

Lu Yun gritted her teeth and finally said her final plan: "Actually, I have another way. ”

Zheng Sheng asked curiously, "Girl, please speak." ”

"May I ask Zheng Shizi, do you know that since ancient times, what is the most effective way to reach a solid alliance between two families, two races, and two countries?" Lu Yun asked rhetorically.

Zheng Sheng's heart jumped, and he subconsciously turned back to his "consultant" to answer, but saw Liu Wei'er frowning.

"Sniff?"

She raised her head, her eyes were full of confusion, she pursed her lips and said softly: "It should be, it should be a marriage!" ”

Zheng Sheng nodded subconsciously, and then, he felt that he was in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Lu Yun has completely left all his scruples: "When I was in Luoyang, I saw two uncles, and many Confucian scribes and officials from the government and the opposition were amazed by Zheng Shizi's literary talent. If I can marry Zheng Shizi, the Lu family of Wujun will naturally not ignore my family and the Zheng family anymore. Shi Chong is afraid that he will be even more jealous, and he will not dare to fight against you and me anymore. ”

After Lu Yun finished speaking, she seemed to let go of a big burden, exhaled lightly, smiled, and looked more demure and beautiful, she looked at Zheng Sheng frowning and not in a hurry, but slowly drank tea.

"If I'm not mistaken, assuming I agree, the person I, Zheng Sheng, want to marry, is Lu Yun and Miss Lu."
