Chapter Fifty-Eight: Long Face
"Good! Good! Listening to Lu Xin's statement, Lu Shang was very relieved, even said two good, patted the back of his hand and said: "Although the position of deacon is not in a hurry, it is still possible to move your official position in the court." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"My nephew has just been in office for less than two months, and I am afraid it will be difficult to explain it if he is rashly transferred at this time." Hearing Lu Shang say that he wanted to promote himself, Lu Xin was not happy but worried, he was transferred back to Beijing by Xiahou Valve, and his current official position was also given by Xiahou Valve, and he would be transferred away in a few days, and he would definitely be unhappy over there.
"You are the grandmaster of my land valve, why do you only be a mere Wupin Temple, how can I save face for my land valve?" Lu Shang waved his hand and said undoubtedly: "Don't worry, if Xiahou Lao'er has an opinion, he will have an old man to share it with him." ”
"Yes......" Lu Shangdu said this, if Lu Xin pushes back again, he doesn't know what to do.
"As a rule, this valve should set up a banquet for you to celebrate," Seeing that he was not dizzy, Lu Shang slowed down and said: "The old man will go back and see the days, and I will hold a big event in the near future, and invite Xiahou Ba to come over when the time comes." The old man is the master of the lord of the lord of the whole house, and he asks him for a child of his own, will he not give this face? ”
"It's too much trouble for my uncle." Lu Xin said softly.
"Naturally, it's because you're worth ......" Lu Shang slowly closed his eyes, as if he had exhausted his strength, and stopped talking to him.
。
When Lu Xin returned to Congshanfang, it was already afternoon, and he saw that the traffic at his door was full of guests.
As soon as he returned, the guests gathered around him and congratulated him. Among the people of Daohe, there are not only people from Shanfang, but also many people from Luobei; There are not only people who have land valves, but also other gate valves.
As for the reason for Daohe, it is naturally to congratulate him on his promotion to the grandmaster, and the deacon is hopeful. By the way, there are also congratulations to him on giving birth to a good son...... At the court meeting, Lu Yun was rewarded by the emperor and asked him to accompany him, which has obviously spread throughout the capital.
What made Lu Xin stunned was why the news of his promotion to Grandmaster would spread so quickly? Could it be that each of those deacons has a big mouth?
Seeing that he was puzzled, a guest explained with a smile: "In the morning, the Detective Office posted a new issue of the Grandmaster List, and the virtuous nephew is on the list!" ”
"Oh......" Lu Xin thought for a moment, and Zuo Yanqing pulled Lu Shang in front of him and whispered. It suddenly dawned on him that Lu Shang had learned his details from the Detective Office. As for how the Detective Office found out, it is naturally inseparable from the matter of Funiu Mountain.
Lu Xin couldn't help but be a little shocked, ten years ago, the Detective Office didn't have this ability. It seems that over the years, they have become too strong to be taken lightly......
At this time, Lu Xiang was surrounded by a group of peers from Luobei and came out of the house. Listening to them praise their children and grandchildren, the old man's happy beard was straight, and he said modestly: "What is there to promote, he is at this age, and he barely made the cut, and he is very unsuccessful." ”
When everyone heard this, this sweat ...... You must know that it is extremely difficult to get through the second vein of Ren Du, even if there is a corresponding exercise, you must have excellent qualifications, practice hard in the cold and summer, and among the dozens of people who cultivate the Heaven and Earth Fa, there will not be a single grandmaster. Don't talk about others, just say that you Lu Xiang, who has practiced the Heaven and Earth Fa all his life, have not been promoted to the grandmaster, and he is embarrassed to say that his son is not successful?
But today no one dares to talk nonsense and upset him. Everyone can only let Lu Xiang talk nonsense, and they have to echo on the side. There's no way, who made the son of the family a grandmaster?
Lu Xiang was happy, and once again announced the opening of the flowing water banquet and invited the big guys to drink to celebrate. This time was completely different from the situation last time, the last time he went to the north to invite, no one came. This time, there were more than 100 people from the north without his invitation, including six or seven elders.
The scale of this banquet is far greater than the last time, and the entire street of Congshanfang is not enough, many guests have to eat and drink at the neighborhood house before they can barely sit down.
The distinguished guests naturally sat in Lu Xin's house, in addition to the elders of Lu Valve, the clan, Xiahou Valve, Cui Valve, Pei Valve, Xie Valve, and Wei Valve also came. Most of the other families only have one elder or deacon as a representative, but Xie Valve came with three elders at once, two deacons, and Mrs. Lu's father and uncle, and their family alone sat at a full table.
Moreover, their attitude towards Lu Xin was extremely affectionate, and they kept claiming that he was half of Xie Valve. also said that Lu Yunneng was so good, it was all taught by their daughter Xie Valve......
This can't help but remind Lu Xin of his indifferent attitude towards him when he took his wife and children to visit Xie Valve a while ago. Not to mention the sect master and deputy sect master, even the elders and deacons didn't see it, they only had a meal with Mrs. Lu's parents, and then came back quietly......
But as soon as his identity as a grandmaster was revealed, Xie Valve's elders and deacons came in a group, although it was human nature, but such an obvious condescension still made him feel very uncomfortable.
The deacon who came from Xiahou was Xiahou Bupo. Xiahou Valve's emphasis on martial arts is far greater than that of Lu Valve, and naturally there are clan rules that non-grandmasters are not allowed to serve as deacons, but Xiahou Bupo has become the only exception. He was frail and sickly, and his martial arts could never reach the realm of a grandmaster, but Xiahou Ba overrode public opinion and pushed him to the position of deacon, and he was the deacon of Guanfeng who was in charge of intelligence, and his attention and trust in him could not be overstated.
As one of the four heroes of Xiahou, Xiahou Bupo can be described as the most distinguished guest at the banquet, so he is naturally arranged to sit at the top. He looked at Lu Xin beside him with a smile on his face, and quipped: "Brother Xian can be described as a real person who does not show his face, and it is so difficult for us to hide it." ”
"Xiahou is a master like a cloud, how can he take it out and show his ugliness when he is doing this three-legged cat kung fu?" Lu Xin said softly.
"That's not the case, if you knew, I would have helped you win a higher official position at that time." Xiahou Bupo said apologetically: "It's good now, you are a grandmaster who is only a five-grade, but it has become my Xiahou valve." ”
"Brother Xiahou, don't say that, Lu is only full of gratitude to Xiahou, and he has no other thoughts." Lu Xin hurriedly said.
"Xiahou doesn't want your gratitude......" Xiahou didn't break the sentence halfway, and then stopped talking. But the meaning is clear, what they want is Lu Xin's allegiance.
Today, when he learned that Lu Xin turned out to be the grandmaster, Xiahou Bupo was really surprised, and the first thing he thought of was whether Lu Xin would be the one who assassinated Xiahou Lei and took away their jade seal. But soon, he denied this idea, because when Xiahou Lei was assassinated, it was Lu Xin who led troops to rescue. When attacking Bailiuzhuang, Lu Xin never left their sight, and he had no conditions to do it at all.
Therefore, Xiahou Bupo can only be attributed to the fact that Lu Xinchengfu is too deep, so instead of feeling unhappy, he pays more and more attention to him. If you want to realize the great cause of Xiahou valves, the biggest obstacle is those gate valves. Xiahou Valve and the others did not dare to use force against any of the gate valves, because that would attract the rest of the families to join forces to resist. Therefore, the only way to do this is to unite the vertical and the horizontal, and to fight against the same party and the other.
In Xiahou Bupo's view, if Lu Xin can be put in a high position and win the support of the land valve for Xiahou Valve, it will be of great benefit. Even if Lu Xin can't change the attitude of the land valve, at least he can lay a nail in their interior, and in the future, he can either want to make the land valve internal strife, or if he wants to eliminate the land valve, he can get twice the result with half the effort.
Lu Xin naturally didn't know that Xiahou Bupo had already thought so far, and he was still worried about how to face Xiahou in the future. can only say vaguely: "I won't be ungrateful." ”
"Okay, with your words, it will be in vain for the hard work of the second uncle and me." Xiahou Bupo didn't believe it at all, but he was confident that he would be able to control this person in the future, and this was not the occasion for deep talk. stopped talking, and only gossiped: "Second Uncle Ben also wants to come over to congratulate, but unfortunately he is still grounded, so he can only ask me to toast you." ”
As soon as he returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, Xiahou Lei was tied up by Xiahou Ba to the ancestral hall and served by the family law! Xiahou Lei was still righteous, and he also suffered Xiahou's unbroken share, and was beaten with two hundred sticks. Even if he still has the strength of a grandmaster, he was beaten so much that he couldn't get out of bed for a month. After finishing the matter, Xiahou Lei was grounded for another half a year, and he has not yet stepped out of the mansion.
"I wanted to visit the old marquis, but I didn't want to come to the door rashly. I also asked Brother Ren to convey the respect of the younger brother, and if the opportunity is right, I will definitely come to the door to thank the Hou Ye. Lu Xin hurriedly drank a full glass.
"No one can go to see my second uncle now, let's wait for him to be released, and then get together." Xiahou Bupo nodded with a smile and said to Lu Xin: "Go and greet the guests, you don't have to keep guarding me as a sick ghost." ”
