Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Although the Lu family is the largest scholar family in Youzhou, the Fanyang Lu family has its own family origins, and does not put the Cui, Wang, and Zheng families in their eyes. Even the magistrates of the imperial court had to listen to their orders.

But although the power is great, he must guard a bottom line, and he must not cross the line, that is, he will not go out to fight for hegemony and peep into the position of the emperor. Competing for the throne of the emperor is tantamount to gambling on the life of the family, not to mention success, if it fails, the Lu family in Youzhou will be liquidated. The Lu family has been inherited for a hundred years, and in addition to the long house, there are countless branches and clans, and they are naturally all against secession and hegemony.

So when the middle-aged man heard Lu Chengqing say this, he stopped and said, "I don't know what you said about your uncle." When today is a world of great contention, the strong defeat the weak, the strength defeats the soft, the weak eat the strong, my Lu family stands for two hundred and does not fall, so not a single step can be missed. My Lu family recruited troops, not for secession, but for self-preservation, and at that time I have the right to choose. Otherwise, if Gao Kaidao and the like enter Zhuo County, do you say that our Lu family will never obey or not? ”

Lu Chengqing said with a smile: "Uncle is very worried, so what about Li Chongjiu's side?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Li Chongjiu is also from a poor family, so he still has less to deal with, but he can't be offended." If he wants to salute before he soldiers, we might as well do the same. ”

Lu Chengqing listened to the immediate agreement and said: "I will send people to let them come to the mansion tomorrow to see them." ”

"It's okay," the middle-aged man changed the topic and said, "I heard that your father is the Hedong Commander and has always been very close to Li Yuan, I think he has a lot of talent in his heart right now." ”

When Lu Chengqing heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said, "I know that my father and uncle are running around for our Lu family. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "If only you understood our hard work." ”

Early the next morning, a steward of the Lu family came to Li Chongjiu's place of residence and invited him to visit the Lu Mansion.

This is expected, Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo have already packed up, and immediately got into the Lu family's black shed carriage and went all the way to the Lu family.

In front of the carriage, the logo of Lu Mansion was hung, and the road was unimpeded, and with a stick of incense, Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo chatted.

There were outsiders on the side, and it was impossible to talk about some in-depth topics, so I talked about Lu Chengqing's grandfather Lu Sidao.

Lu Sidao became famous at a young age, only eight buckets high, and when he was in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was with Xue Daoheng and the same name, and the two served together as officials, and they had a deep relationship, and later Qi was destroyed, Xue Daoheng, and Lu Sidao fell together. The two were officials in the same dynasty and had a deep relationship. But Yang Jian has been suppressing Fan Yang Lu's family, although Lu Sidao is talented, he has always been depressed, and returned to Zhuo County under the pretext of keeping filial piety.

Lu Sidao returned to his hometown to put his affection on the landscape, because he saw the characters in Luoyang, Chang'an, and had the idea of competing with the Longxi Shi clan in his heart, so he built the Lu family's mansion in the north of Jixian County.

The two talked and talked, and suddenly the surroundings seemed to be quiet, and the carriage seemed to be running over some bumps, and then drove for a while, and the people around said: "The two distinguished guests have arrived!" ”

After Li Chongjiu, Wen Yanbo and the two got out of the car together, and saw the red walls and green tiles around them, it turned out that they were already in the Lu Mansion.

A steward said: "The villain's inner house is in charge of the car, two distinguished guests, and the second master is already waiting, please get in the car." ”

Then Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo transferred to a small oil cart pulled by a green mule. The small oil truck gurgled and rolled over the stone road, and from the curtain of the car, the car was still walking in the endless mansions with heavy pink walls and tiles.

Li Chongjiu entered the mansion of King Qi in Luoyang that year, and the Yirenfang of King Qi was already gorgeous for Li Chongjiu at that time. However, Yirenfang only occupies half of the place, but if you talk about the number of houses and the depth of the courtyard, it is far less than the Lufu in front of you.

Li Chongjiu in the car lowered his voice and said to Wen Yanbo: "Everyone who just thought about it envied the vast mansion and deep house, I think if I capture Zhuojun, I also want to use it as a palace, and raise a few more beautiful concubines." ”

Wen Yanbo woke up and said, "Could it be that you are the king, and you have the idea of taking thistle as the capital?" ”

Li Chongjiu smiled and did not answer.

Soon the carriage stopped, Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo stepped on the footstool to get off the carriage, and there was a two-headed high-stone lion in front of him, standing in front of the vermilion lacquer gate. The two of them immediately climbed the stairs, and after entering the house, they entered the hall from the verandah.

Then I walked into the courtyard of the second and third entrances, and entered the courtyard of the backyard. In the courtyard, a vertical bridge crosses the pond full of lotus flowers, and a few pink and white lotus roots are exposed in the clear water of the pond. The two walked across the vertical bridge, and outside a water pavilion built facing the water, Lu Chengqing and a middle-aged man bowed to them.

After Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo entered, they each gave their own gifts, and Lu Chengqing immediately introduced: "This is my uncle." ”

Li Chongjiu and Wen Yanbo knew that the other party was Lu Chisong's brother Lu Ziqian, and said together: "Lu Gong." ”

Lu Ziqian smiled and motioned for the two to sit down, and immediately said: "Invite each other in a hurry, treat each other slowly, please don't mind." ”

Wen Yanbo said at the moment: "Where, I have heard for a long time that Lu Mansion came to Yandi, and when I came to see it today, it was finally an eye-opener." ”

At the moment, Lu Ziqian and Wen Yanbo chatted first, this is also the old rule of the Chinese people, first climb friendships, say some irrelevant things, wait for the atmosphere to be almost over, wait to throw out the topic, so that it does not seem abrupt, and there will be no straightforwardness.

Li Chongjiu secretly looked at this Lu Ziqian, and saw that although he did not have an official position, when he talked to Wen Yanbo, he was old and spicy, and he did not show his words.

Such a character is generally enough to have his own opinions, and he is not willing to convince others, he is a young man in his early twenties, and he is a mere eagle general, if you talk to him about the general trend of the world, weigh the pros and cons, and the other party does not greet you with your mother's noble surname, it is already rare.

And Lu Ziqian has also heard of Li Chongjiu's identity, seeing that the other party is young, and he has never heard of any origin, of course, he has long been famous, and Wen Yanbo, who was born in the scholar clan, is the main opponent this time, and he has not seen Li Chongjiu with his eyes.

Although he was disdainful, Lu Ziqian did not dare to slack off, he knew that although people like Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Li Chongjiu had a very shallow foundation, it would be difficult to compare with the big lords of the scholar clan if something suddenly happened. But he is familiar with history, has rich experience, and understands that many things in the world are made by these grass people who dare to think and do, tie their heads around their waists, and dry their brains with a hot heart.

On the other hand, these children of the scholar clan, thinking left and right, afraid of wolves and tigers, and moving the whole body, they have a lot to worry about in all aspects, just like a smart person with deep experience and a lot of wealth, at this time they have long faded their youthful passion, and at this time they seek stability and pave the way for future generations, rather than recklessly putting the bet down on the risk.

So Lu Ziqian was thinking about how not to hurt his face and sent the other party away.
