The palaces of the capital were once scattered around the Forbidden City like stars and moons, but the catastrophe of a hundred years ago annihilated many palaces.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai restored the imperial system, and the court regarded the Han and Tang dynasties as orthodox, so he ordered the Longyou Lezheng clan to go to Beijing to take up his post and rebuild an abandoned palace for him as a residence.

Although the mansion is not large, it is unique among many royal palaces. Because it was not built in accordance with the traditional courtyard architectural style, but modeled on the Qin and Han dynasties, the layout of the corridor courtyard was tried. The doors and cloisters set off the solemn importance of the main building, the uneven roof, the rain towers on the doors and windows...... The small courtyard has a faint thousand-year-old charm.

At that time, the patriarch of Lezheng was under pressure, and in desperation, he asked his eldest son Le Zhenglu to go to Beijing with the ancestral hall, and the framed ancestral hall took root in the ancestral hall of the mansion.

When the republic was founded, the leader was greatly admired after listening to the performance of Le Zhenglu and personally inscribed the word "national music" as a gift, and the residence of the Le Zheng family was spared during the special period.

Le Zhengzheng is the third generation of the head of the Lezheng family in Beijing, and was brought back to Longyou by Le Zhenglu to accept the inheritance because of his talent and intelligence when he was young, so he became the only descendant of the classical music school of Xiao, Di, Zheng and Konghou. Gentle, gentle, modest, and erudite, he was highly respected among his peers. The extreme of respect is far away, and there are many fewer friends.

Although he has few friends, they are all confidants, and he is really happy to have two confidants visiting at the same time today.

A pot of tea, a few refreshments, take off your mask and enjoy the authenticity.

One of them was a middle-aged man, he had a dignified body, a dignified appearance, and a strong majesty in his gestures. Although he was chatting, his face was full of seriousness and officialdom.

"I said Lu Ling, how many times have I reminded you, this is not a conference room that doesn't need to be so serious, I feel tired when I look at you."

Le Zhengzheng smiled and looked at his other friend, his personality was the opposite of Lu Ling, always raising his eyebrows when chatting. With his flexible brain, he became one of the three major merchant kings of the Republic, and his leaping thinking often made people laugh. Among the three of them, he gave full play to the role of enlivening the atmosphere, and from time to time he and Lu Ling dismantled each other.

"Yexiang, what are you arguing with a small trader, you dare to shout with me in my territory, be careful of smashing your stall." Lu Ling said.

"Cut, are you afraid that you won't make it? It's a big deal that I went to Mingzhu to set up a stall, and it just so happened that I met the boss there today, and he supported me. ”

Lu Ling frowned when he heard this: "The boss there, I remember that the new one is ......."

Le Zhengzheng was also taken aback, and was just about to ask Yexiang about it, when he suddenly heard the knocker of the door ring and got up to greet him.

Ye Xiang and Lu Ling glanced at each other and then stopped talking at the same time, listening to the conversation in the courtyard.

"Brother Li, when are you coming, say hello in advance and I'll pick you up."

"I came to the capital for a meeting, and I stopped by to see you after the meeting. What about the soul and the little one? ”

"I went back to Xiaoxin's grandmother's house, didn't the second elder tell you?"

"I've been busy lately, and I haven't been on the phone with my family."

……

"This voice sounds familiar." Lu Ling frowned and said slowly.

Ye Xiang took a sip of tea and said, "The person who comes is not an outsider, let's continue to chat." ”

Lu Ling was surprised: "Do you know who he is?" ”

Ye Xiang smiled mysteriously: "You should know it too, no, absolutely know." ”

"I know?" Lu Ling said confusedly.

At this time, Le Zhengzheng brought a middle-aged man into the house and said, "Let me introduce you." This is Li Tangyi, my brother-in-law, and this is ......"

"Lu Ling, the new secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, we just had a meeting together, but I didn't expect to meet here again." Li Tangyi smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Yes, I didn't expect us to meet here again, and I didn't expect you to be Le Zhengzheng's brother-in-law." Lu Ling shook hands with him and said.

"Now that everyone knows each other, let's all sit down and drink tea, sit down and talk slowly about something, isn't it tiring to stand there? And Lao Li, since you are also coming here, why don't you come with me? Yexiang interjected.

Li Tangyi sat down and said with a smile: "There were still some things to deal with just now, I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect things to be solved so quickly." ”

……

Drinking tea, chatting; Chatting, drinking tea.

Yexiang suddenly said to Le Zheng: "It's rare to get together, why don't you play music to cheer up?" ”

Le Zhengzheng smiled slightly, took out his jade flute and blew it gently.

At the end of the song, Lu Ling sighed: "No matter how many times I listen to it, it is so shocking. Originally, I wanted my daughter to worship you as a teacher, women take softness as beauty and ancient music is the best way to cultivate the mind, how do you know that she secretly applied for the military school, alas! ”

"It's good to be in the army, you are a family of generals, and many people are envious. My son also joined the army last year, so it's always right for him to be in the army. Li Tangyi said with a smile.

Ye Xiang said casually: "The army is really good, my son also enlisted in the army last year." ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the other three were looking at him in astonishment.

"You say...... Night Pine joined the army? Li Tangyi asked in surprise.

Lu Lingle said: "Although I haven't met him, I heard that kid is a scourge, why did you think of stuffing him there?" ”

Ye Xiang sighed: "I don't have that much ability, this is a decision made by my mother." ”

Le Zhengzheng poured tea and said, "Ye Song is not as you say, in my opinion, he is a good young man. ”

Ye Xiang and Li Tangyi pouted at the same time and said, "You have such a concept, mainly because he is the successor of the classical music school 'Qin', right?" ”

Li Tangyi nodded and said, "That's right, even my sister's good temperament was almost collapsed by that kid, your evaluation is too one-sided." ”

After listening to their conversation, Lu Ling picked up the teacup and said to herself: "I'm getting more and more interested in the kid of the Night Enjoyment Family. ”

……

After leaving Le Zhengzheng's house, Lu Ling came to Old Man Lu's residence to greet him.

After chatting about some work-related content, Lu Ling talked about meeting Li Tangyi again.

"I have long known that Le Zhengzheng is the son-in-law of the old city, and I was invited to attend their wedding when you were working at the grassroots level in the west, I'm afraid that you are the only one in our family who doesn't know Le Zhengzheng's background."

"Then should we ......?"

"What's going on now and what's going on in the future, you just need to control what is in front of you......" Old Man Lu continued in a paused tone: "Although it is said that some people are a little ambitious to destroy their own prestige, Li Tangyi, as the leader of the second generation of the Li family, although you and he are both the new leaders, you are indeed too different from him, huh...... It can even be said that no one in the same age of other families can compare to him. ”

Lu Ling frowned slightly, and said, "Don't you often praise my third brother, can't he either?" ”

"Don't be unconvinced, although your third brother is a figure in the army, he is in politics...... Alas, in short, it doesn't hurt to be able to get along with Li Tangyi. According to my observations, he is the only one of your peers who can go further in a few years, and the Lu family is still a little worse in terms of politics......"

Lu Ling was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and continued to ask: "Father, Yexiang's son actually joined the army, isn't Aunt Mai afraid of ......?"

"Hehe, I have already arranged this matter, I will ask your third brother to take care of him after he enlists in the army, according to what I heard that he has been transferred to your third brother, he should not be far behind."
