Today is the 70th birthday of Lu Shen, the old head of the Lu family, and his life is rare for 70 years.

The whole Jixian County is talking about this matter, but Zhang Xuan is not in Jixian these days, and he doesn't know anything about this matter.

Zhang Xuan and Luo Cheng made an appointment to go to Lufu in the afternoon, he went to the ice cellar early in the morning to practice the halberd method for two hours, came back to take a bath, had lunch, and then changed into a blue fine linen robe, wearing a flat scarf, and was particularly energetic.

The little maid Ah Yuan tied his belt behind him and muttered, "Everyone else wears a brocade robe to the banquet, but you wear a cloth robe, isn't it a little cold?" ”

The Sui people have a clear hierarchy in clothing, not only distinguish social status in color, but also pay attention to the fabric, brocade clothing is generally the symbol of the scholars, and most of the children of the poor family wear cloth clothes, so there is a saying of 'Shijin Han cloth'.

For the sake of vanity, many children of the poor family did not hesitate to wear brocade robes and robes to show their so-called 'scholar' identity.

But Zhang Xuan doesn't like to wear brocade robes very much, firstly, he does not want to pursue that kind of vanity, and secondly, the weather is hot, he sweats a lot, and he wears silk closely, which makes him feel really uncomfortable and inconvenient to move.

Zhang Xuan patted Ah Yuan's little bun face and smiled: "I told you a long time ago, I don't like to wear brocade robes, and besides, I'm not a scholar, why do I want to wear brocade robes, isn't it good to wear this?" ”

"But if you wear this kind of linen shirt, others will look down on you, and although you don't say it, you will despise it in your heart."

"Then don't you despise me in your heart!" Jang Hyun asked with a smile.

Ah Yuan's face turned red, and he pouted unhappily: "Where do I have it!" People are for your good, if you refuse to wear it, forget it, what's the matter with me? ”

"Ah Yuan, let me ask you something, is your Yulang going to marry a girl from Lu Mansion?" Jang Hyun asked casually.

At the mention of this, Ah Yuan's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he smiled: "How does Childe know? ”

"Of course I know a little bit, can you give me some news."

"How can our subordinates talk about such things casually."

Although he said that he couldn't. But where could Ah Yuan endure this kind of lace gossip, she secretly glanced outside, and saw that there was no one outside, so she lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell Childe." Don't say it's what I said! ”

Zhang Xuan was amused in his heart, so he nodded, "I won't say!" ”

Ah Yuan smiled and said: "Childe also knows that my wife's maiden family is the Lu family, and she was very young when Yulang Gongzi was very young. set up a family affair for him, and she is a very beautiful daughter of the Lu family. ”

"What's your name?"

Although Zhang Xuan knew that Lu Qing had to marry the Cui family, not Luo Cheng, he was still a little inexplicably nervous.

Ah Yuan glanced at Zhang Xuan in surprise, "I heard Ah Li next to my wife say that she seems to be called Miss Yun, who is five years younger than Yulang's son, and she is a little weaker, she is very fascinated by my son-in-law, but her son-in-law doesn't like her very much." ”

"Why?"

"Childe said she was still a child. I don't understand anything, hey! These little ladies are not good at reading and learning embroidery, and they think about lifelong events at a young age, who will like them? ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile, and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to have a big event in your life?" ”

Ah Yuan's face suddenly turned red, and he stomped his feet angrily, "Why did the son pull it on me again, people..... People are only twelve years old, what do you want to do in life? ”

Jang Hyun laughed, turned around and left the room. Laughing with the little girl made him feel good.

．．．．．．．．

Lu Mansion is located in the northwest of Jixian County, is a mansion covering an area of more than 100 acres, which is the residence of the head of the Lu family. The current head of the Lu family is called Lu Zhuo, that is, Lu Qing's father, and the Lu family villa is managed by Lu Zhuo's brother Lu Yi.

Because it was the height of summer, except for Lu Zhuo, who couldn't leave Jixian County, the rest of the Lu family members all went back to their old house to escape the summer.

However, today is the seventieth birthday of Lu Shen, the old man of the Lu family, and all the sons and daughters-in-law of the Lu family have returned to Jixian County from Lu's Villa. Prepare to hold this grand birthday for the old man.

The official birthday banquet was held in the evening, but from the afternoon, some guests arrived one after another, and the square in front of the Lu family gate was full of carriages, and more than a dozen Lu children commanded the vehicles in front of the gate to welcome the guests.

This time, the Lu family also took great pains to celebrate the 70th birthday of the old family, and in the past, the birthday was to invite local nobles and officials, but this time it was extraordinary, most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court were concentrated in Zhuo County, so the Lu family was also very particular about inviting guests.

Not only are the children of the Shu clan in this province not allowed to enter the mansion, but also the local fame basically does not give invitations, and only invites famous families from all over Hebei and Shandong, such as the Boling Cui clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Bohai Gao clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Xiangguo Bai clan and so on.

In addition, there are many important ministers in Zhuo County, such as Yu Shiji, Su Wei, Xiao Yu, Pei Ju, Fan Zigai, General Yu Wenshu, Yang Guan of the royal family and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries also came to pay homage to the face of the Lu family.

As for the Lu family's children all over the Hebei officialdom, dozens of local high-ranking officials such as Taishou and Changshi also sent their sons and nephews to congratulate their birthdays.

Zhang Xuan followed Luo Cheng into the Lu Mansion from the west side gate, this is the special passage for the Lu family's children, and some friends invited by the Lu family's children also entered the house from here, the two just walked into the west gate, and saw Lu Qingyuan greeted him, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I was about to go to see if you are here, you have arrived, Zhang Gongzi, long time no see, welcome!" Welcome! ”

Lu Qingyuan's attitude was very casual, which made Zhang Xuan a little surprised in his heart, you must know that Lu Qingyuan is Lu Qing's brother, doesn't even he know about Lu Qing's abduction? Or they didn't know that they saved Lu Qing.

But this is the best, Zhang Xuan doesn't want this matter to spread, the fewer people who know, the better.

Luo Cheng saw that Lu Qingyuan was sweating profusely, so he asked with a smile: "Are you so busy today?" ”

"Today I am in charge of greeting customers in front of the gate, the weather is so hot, I have been busy for more than an hour, and I finally took a free time."

At this time, a deep voice came from behind him, "Is Yulang here?" ”

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a middle-aged man standing behind them with his hands in his hands, everyone was startled, and Lu Qingyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Father!" ”

Luo Cheng also hurriedly saluted, "See uncle!" ”

Zhang Xuan secretly thought, it turned out that this middle-aged man was Lu Zuo, the head of the Lu family, Lu Qing's father, I saw that Lu Zhuo was about forty years old, with fair skin, medium stature, clear eyes, a wisp of black beard under his chin, and an extremely elegant appearance, Zhang Xuan found that Lu Qing's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his father.

Lu Zhuo's eyes fell on Zhang Xuan, and he smiled slightly: "This is Zhang Xian's nephew!" ”

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Senior Zhang Xuan, see uncle!" ”

"You're welcome!"

Lu Zhuo glanced at Zhang Xuan meaningfully, and then said to Lu Qingyuan: "You take Yulang to the back house first, his mother has something to do with him, and I will say a few words to Zhang Xian's nephew." ”

Lu Qingyuan and Luo Cheng were a little strange in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, nodded to Zhang Xuan, and went to the back house first, Lu Zhuo glanced at Zhang Xuan, "You come with me!" ”

Zhang Xuan knew this, and followed Lu Zhuo to a deserted pavilion, Lu Zhuo looked at the guests in the distance, and said lightly: "You know how grateful I am to you in my heart!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, "A little thing, uncle doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Lu Zhuo turned around suddenly, looking at Zhang Xuan with excitement in his eyes, "Do you think it's a trivial matter?" What a great grace you have saved my daughter's life, kept her chastity, and saved my reputation, I don't think it's a trivial matter, and I want to thank you so much! ”

Zhang Xuan smiled calmly: "I don't need any thanks, but I hope that my uncle can protect her well and don't let her be in danger again, especially to guard against the frame-ups of the people around her." ”

"I know!"

Lu Zhuo understood the deep meaning of Zhang Xuan's words, and he nodded, "I won't let her have an accident again, so good!" I will keep Zhang Gongzi's kindness in my heart, and I will repay it one day. ”

Zhang Xuan felt a disturbance in his heart, he didn't want Lu Zhuo to repay him, as long as he was willing to promise that he would be with Lu Qing, it was more important than anything to repay.

"Who else knows about this except my uncle?"

"Qing'er only told me, not even her mother, and I didn't tell anyone, hoping that Gongzi could keep this secret."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, "This is also my hope." ”

Lu Zhuo sighed, "I don't mean to deliberately hide it, it's just that the shame of the family can't be spread, I never imagined that the closest person would actually attack his niece, which made me feel painful, but fortunately it didn't make a big mistake, I just hope that he can realize his mistake and change his past." ”

Of course, Zhang Xuan understood that Lu Zhuo was not talking about Lu Mingyue, but his brother Lu Yi, and Zhang Xuan also knew another Lu Yi's secret, I am afraid that even Lu Zhuo did not know.

He hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Does uncle know about Lu Mingyue's assassination of Guo Dudu?" ”

"What?"

Lu Zhuo was taken aback, "Guo Dudu was assassinated by Lu Mingyue?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I'm afraid this matter still involves Brother Ling, I'm afraid there is also Deputy Governor Luo, I hope Uncle has a preparation in his heart." ”

Lu Zhuo's heart is like a mess, this matter is too serious, no wonder Guo Xuantui said that he was sick and refused to come, it turned out that since the Lu family was involved in the assassination case, he didn't know about it.

He hated his brother so much in his heart, this would kill the Lu family, he forcibly held back the eagerness in his heart, and asked urgently: "Does Guo Dudu know that it was Lu Mingyue who did it?" ”

"He didn't know that he had found a few letters this time when he hit Zuo Huangshan, and I think he should have understood."

Lu Zhuo was so anxious that he wanted to tell his father about it immediately, but he hesitated for a moment, but decided to talk about it another day, today is his father's birthday, and he doesn't want to make any extraneous branches.

Lu Zhuo sighed and said, "Is there anything else going on with the virtuous nephew?" ”

Zhang Xuan still wanted to ask about Lu Qing's situation, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again and said with a smile: "Uncle is very busy, so don't worry about the juniors." ”

Lu Zhuo did have an important guest waiting for him, and that was Cui Zhao, the head of the Cui family, who he couldn't afford to offend.

He only hurried to see Zhang Xuan because he heard that Luo Cheng was coming, and he patted Zhang Xuan on the shoulder apologetically, "You are my honored guest, I will let Qingyuan accompany you later, and I will go first." ”

"Uncle, please!"

Lu Zhuo nodded, left the pavilion, and walked distraughtly in the direction of the Guike Hall. (To be continued.) )xh123
