The night is vast, and the bright moonlight is reflected on the Lu family's mansion, making this big mansion standing in the north of Jinling City look even more magnificent.

A few years ago, the capital of Wu was in Jinling, and Jinling City established a city that cannot be compared with any city in Jiangdong.

Countless wealthy families in Jiangdong have moved their families and poured into Jinling City to buy land and houses.

As a courtier of the State of Wu, there is no place more important than the foot of the Son of Heaven.

As one of the four major families in Jiangdong, the Lu family has chosen to keep a low profile over the years, but as the leader of the old family, the momentum has not fallen in the slightest.

When the Lu family moved into Jinling City, they made a big deal to build this mansion with an area of more than 300 acres not far from the north side of the royal city, as the Lu family's mansion.

This big mansion full of Jiangnan courtyard style is surrounded by towering walls, which looks a little inconspicuous and watery, but as long as you walk in and see, you can quickly reach a kind of inheritance.

The family is not strong, it does not rely on population, not heaven and earth, but a kind of inheritance of knowledge.

Before the academy was established, most of the books and most of the classics were in the hands of the family class, which is why the family could still have so much energy in the troubled times, without soldiers and guns.

To control the inherited culture is to control the reader.

This antique mansion, the layout of every place is very exquisite, it is etiquette, it is Confucian style, which fully explains the inheritance of the Lu family.

In the middle of the mansion, there is an artificial lake above the lake. There is an elegant gazebo, and around the gazebo, the light of lanterns flickered, and the beaded curtains hung down, reflecting the light.

In the pavilion, incense mats are spread on the ground. The fragrance was thick, more than a dozen beautiful maids were carefully cooking wine, and the dozen or so people sitting around several desks had serious faces and nervous attitudes.

The Lu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, has a big family and a big business, which refers not only to the Lu family, but to the influence of the Lu family in the family.

Now several principals of the Lu family have gathered together, led by the white-haired people. Lu Kang, who is like dry bones.

Although Lu Kang has retired from the Wu Dynasty for several years, his prestige is not weak at all, the literati have a good name, and after the fire of Jiangdong Academy and Jinling Academy, the family also began to establish its own academy.

Nanhai Academy and Liaodong Academy are masterpieces led by the Lu family and the Gu family.

Lu Kang is the sacrificial wine of Nanhai Academy.

Compared with the previous Lu Kang, the current Lu Kang makes people feel a little admired.

And sitting next to Lu Kang on his knees was a heroic young man.

Jinling County Order, Lu Xun.

The two of them are surrounded by more than a dozen families and powerful families from all over the world, and the Jiangdong family is just a title. It refers to the dozens of influential families that have gradually accumulated in the six counties of Jiangdong over the past few hundred years.

The four great families are the leaders of the Jiangdong family. But the four great families are not one, each has its own context, and the Lu family naturally controls a lot of family power.

"Ji Ninggong!"

One of the families, the head of the Danyang Luo family, is about forty years old. Slightly blessed, his eyes looked at the old man Lu Kang, who was as steady as Mount Tai, and asked a little impatiently: "Now there are soldiers and horses stationed inside and outside the city, and the chaos in Jinling is imminent." Jianghou and Donghou both have heavy troops, where should we go? ”

They just couldn't grasp it, so they had to come to the door to help.

The fact that the three brothers of the Sun family are going to war has swept this Jinling City, and almost everyone knows about it.

These powerful families here today have a lot of influence both in the court and among the people, but they have already been tied to the Lu family in the past hundred years, and only when the Lu family nods, they will choose to stand in line.

In this situation, it is very important to stand in line, if you stand right, you will be rich and rich, and if you stand wrong, you will be wiped out.

"That's right! Who should we support? ”

"Gong Ji Ning, we are all the leaders of the Lu family, and now the Marquis of Donghou Jiang and the Marquis of Fuchun have heavy troops, where should we go!"

"Ji Ninggong, you have an idea!"

“……”

More than a dozen powerful family heads looked at the old man Lu Kang with some urgency, and asked in unison.

The former head of the Lu family, after Lu Wei died of illness, the position of the head of the Lu family passed to his son Lu Jun, but in the Lu family, a talent of Lu Kang's weight is the real spiritual pillar.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

The young man Lu Xun stood up, his sharp eyes swept over, frowned slightly, waved his hand directly, and said: "You came here tonight to discuss this matter, you and others are all friends of our Lu family, and we will definitely give you an answer!" ”

When everyone heard this, they quieted down a little.

Since Lu Xun has spoken, compared to the Lu family, he has already dealt with it, although he is young, no one dares to despise him in what he is doing, as the Jinling County Order, his power is greater than anyone here.

"Everyone!"

Lu Kang raised his head, squinted his eyes, and a trace of essence flashed in a pair of cloudy old eyes, and he said lightly: "You waited for the starry night to come, but because of the dispute between the Sun brothers and was restless, since you are here, tonight the old man will give you a word today, you should eat well, sleep well, the sky is not yet dawn!" ”

"It's not dawn yet?"

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, confused, and some didn't quite understand.

"What do you mean by Ji Ninggong?"

The head of one of the families suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Lu Kang with a puzzled look, and asked cautiously: "Is it for us to wait and see?" ”

"Wait and see?" There was some silence.

"The old man's words have been said today, this is the choice of the Lu family, please go back!"

Lu Kang waved his hand and sent off the guest indifferently.

"Then Ji Ninggong take care, I'll wait to leave!"

Although the heads of the family were reluctant, they got Lu Kang's words, and they knew the attitude of the Lu family, and then left the Lu family.

At the door of the Lu family's gate, the heads of the families were still a little uneasy, and they were all worried.

"Master Fang, what do you think?"

"Since the Lu family doesn't understand, why should we make moves, don't seek progress, at least hold on!"

"Bai Family Master, what about you?"

"It's a great opportunity, why don't you fight, if you become a king or lose, you have to gamble!"

“……”

Everyone had different hearts, and under the reflection of the night in the sky, they got into their own carriage and left the Lu family's mansion.

――――――――――――――――――

"Second grandfather, thank you!"

Lu Xun looked at the backs of these family heads, and spit out a long mouthful, sure enough, Lu Kang said a word, which was more useful than saying a thousand words himself, and he bowed slightly to Lu Kang.

After all, Lu Xun is still too young, although he is now in a high position and is still the commander of Jinling County, but he lacks influence in the control of the power of the family under the command of the Lu family.

"This time it's the grandson who is not good, I can't shock them, and in the end, I bother you to rush back from Nanhai Academy after a long journey to stabilize the overall situation!"

Lu Xun said apologetically.

After all, Lu Kang is already old, and he is quite stable in the South China Sea, but now that he has traveled a long distance, he has obviously shown a trace of exhaustion.

"It's okay, it's just for the Lu family!"

Lu Kang raised a glass of sake, took a sip gently, and shook his head, his eyes looked at the young Lu Xun, there was a hint of strange light, one hand brushed the white beard on his chin, and there was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Bo Yan, you did a good job this time, you are much more stable than your Lao Tzu Lu Jun, you and Lu Jun are not Lao Tzu, his temperament is much more impetuous than yours!"

In Lu Kang's eyes, Lu Jun is not a qualified head of the family, but Lu Xun is a person who can really lead the Lu family.

In the past few years, Lu Xun has begun to take over the Lu family openly and secretly.

Since Sun Jian settled in Shoujiangdong, he has been wary of the four major families that have been entrenched in Jiangdong for hundreds of years, and he has been suppressing the four great families openly and secretly.

The Wei family was disabled, the Yu family was suppressed, the Gu family and the Lu family were lucky, Gu Yong's surrender and Lu Kang's concession made Sun Jian feel a little grateful to them, so they did not suffer a heavy blow from the Sun family's regime, but because of the relationship between supporting the new regime, some tides rose, and their influence exceeded Jiangdong, and their tentacles have already looked at the entire territory of Wu.

However, the Gu family has always pressed the Lu family, because the Gu family has a Gu Yong, Gu Yong is shrewd, understands the overall situation, and acts cautiously, while Lu Jun of the Lu family, although he has great military talent, has always followed the footsteps of Pan Feng, the general of Wu Guo, and his status in the court is not as good as Gu Yongdi, but he is a little deficient in dealing with politics.

Wei Teng targeted Sun Quan several times, including Lu Jun's shadow, although Lu Jun was not directly involved, but more or less involved.

This is also the reason why the Lu family has been targeted by the Donghou Mansion in recent years. (To be continued......)
