Chapter 70: The Beginning of My Life
Lu Yan followed behind Ji Yang, walked through a small garden, and walked straight to the outer study.
Today, Ji Yang came to him with great interest, saying that his father wanted to meet him.
Lu Yan did not refuse, or rather, he was good friends with Ji Yang in this life, so that he saw him today.
The Ji Mansion is much smaller than the Su Mansion, but the layout of the garden is very attentive and elegant.
Ji Yang led Lu Yan all the way to the south, and he kept talking: "My father actually wanted to invite you to sit at home for a long time, but he never looked for an opportunity." ”
Lu Yan smiled indifferently, and his voice was as gentle as ever: "Brother Ji's words are really too polite, the elders have a call, and the younger generations have no reason to shirk." ”
"That's what I told my father," Ji Yang said happily, dancing with his hands, "But they are so old and stubborn, you know how to ...... it."
Lu Yan clenched his right hand into a fist, covered his lips a little unnaturally, and coughed lightly: "Brother Ji's words are a bit too much. ”
Ji Yang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Uncle Su is bold, you don't feel this way, if you don't believe it, go back and ask the second child of the Su family......"
Before Ji Yang spoke, he smashed his mouth and shook his head: "No, I see that the second elder of the Su family and the second master of the Su family are carved out of the same mold, but they are sour and rotten at a young age, and if you ask him, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask what the result is." ”
Lu Yan couldn't help it, reluctantly pressed the corners of his lips that were slightly raised, and changed the topic in a low voice: "What is the important matter for the old man looking for me today?" ”
Only then did Ji Yang remember what was going on, and he approached Lu Yan with a wicked smile, and said in a low voice: "I'll just tell you this, Yizhi, my father has told me more than once that you are a rare talent." ”
Lu Yan's eyes drooped slightly, but his voice was still low: "Elder Ge's words are really too much to exalt Lu. ”
Ji Yang was full of indifference: "If you want me to say, my father's words are right, I also think you are indeed a rare talent." ”
Lu Yan still chuckled and remained silent, only shaking his head slowly.
Ji Yang didn't care what his attitude was, turned around and continued to walk forward, still chattering in his mouth: "My father said yesterday, if the prince can have you by his side, he won't have to worry about the mess in the Zhan Mansion like this." ”
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, he thought that Ji Ping recruited him to pave the way for the prince, but he really didn't expect that Ji Ping would transfer him to Zhan Shifu so directly.
The Zhan Mansion is a department dedicated to assisting the prince, and the post of Zhan Shi is mostly temporarily replaced by the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
However, today's Ministry of Rites is concurrently served by the first assistant Yan Youting, so the position of Zhan Shi is concurrently held by Yan Shaohuai, the waiter.
Lu Yan was slightly distracted, in this Zhan Mansion, I am afraid that there are only Zhan Shi and Shao Zhan Shi who are in charge, and he is now just a Hanlin, where can he soar to the sky and be directly promoted to the rank of a fourth-grade official.
While thinking about it, Ji Yang had already stopped.
Lu Yan looked up, but saw a blank plaque hanging on the courtyard door.
Ji Yang noticed his expression, and also looked at the plaque on the door of the courtyard, and explained with a chuckle: "My father thinks this is the best, he always says that people must learn to be silent, no, even the study is dumb, and he doesn't even have a name." ”
Lu Yan bowed his head and praised sincerely: "The elder of the pavilion is indeed a big mind and great wisdom. ”
When the guard guarding the door saw the two of them, he took two steps forward and saluted respectfully, and said, "Second son, the master has been waiting inside for a long time, and said that you came and went in directly." ”
Ji Yang said that he knew, so he stretched out his hand to Lu Yan and asked, "Please, Lu Hanlin." ”
Lu Yan smiled and arched his hand to Ji Yang, and he didn't give in, and stepped into the small courtyard.
Ji Yang waited in the study for a long time, and when he heard the movement in the courtyard, he stood up.
Ji Yang led Lu Yan into the study and saluted Ji Ping respectfully: "Father, Yizhi has come to visit you." ”
Lu Yan followed behind Ji Yang, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and stood beside Ji Yang, bowed to Ji Yang in a dignified manner, and said respectfully: "Junior Lu Yan, I have seen Ji Ge Lao. ”
Ji Ping is kind-looking, slightly chubby, and has a round face full of smiles. He waved his hand to Lu Yan and said with a smile: "Nephew Lu Xian doesn't have to be so polite, just sit down and talk." ”
Lu Yan replied, and waited until Ji Ping sat in the Taishi chair at the top, and then sat down sideways in the circle chair at the bottom.
"It's not a big deal to invite Lu Xian's nephew over today, but I often hear Xie Ge talk about his virtuous nephew, and the dog Ji Yang is taken care of by his virtuous nephew, so he invited his virtuous nephew over to express his gratitude."
Ji Ping's speed of speech was very slow, and his voice was neither high nor low, which made people listen very comfortably.
Lu Yan heard this and bowed his hand again: "Elder Ge's words are really too polite, the juniors have the same temper as Brother Ji, where is there any care, speaking of which, Brother Ji takes care of the juniors more." ”
"You don't have to be polite, I also know in my heart what Erlang looks like." Ji Ping laughed twice, "I should have invited my nephew to come over to the house a long time ago, but there were too many miscellaneous things in the house, so it has been delayed so far." ”
Ji Yang, who had been silent on the side, heard his father and Lu Yan greeting back and forth, and was a little impatient, and interrupted: "Dad, my friendship with Yi is extraordinary, what do you have to say, just go around like this, you are not tired when you talk about it, I am a little tired when I listen to it." ”
"Nonsense." Ji Ping's face was slightly gloomy, but his gaze swept over Lu Yan, "You are clearly two years older than Lu Xian's nephew, but you don't even have five points of calmness from him." ”
Lu Yan felt Ji Ping's gaze, so he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ji is very polite when he says this." What the younger generations appreciate most is Brother Ji's bold temperament. ”
Ji Ping's complexion looked better now, and he turned to Lu Yan with a smile: "Since the virtuous nephew said this, then the old man will have something to say." ”
"Elder Ge, please speak."
……
When I came out of Ji Mansion, it was already dark.
Ji Yang sent Lu Yan outside the mansion gate, and arched his hand to Lu Yan with a smile again: "If Yizhi is flying in the future, don't forget the foolish brother." ”
Lu Yan glanced at Ji Yang, half joking and half serious: "This is also for Brother Ji." ”
The two laughed, and Lu Yan turned around and got into the carriage and headed towards Su Mansion.
When I returned to Su Mansion, it was already past the time of the palm lantern, and all the red lanterns in the mansion had been hung up.
Lu Yan looked at the prosperous mansion and was very happy in his heart.
Qingyuan hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Lu Yan, he first saluted, then took two steps forward and whispered in Lu Yan's ear.
"Childe, the eldest girl upset Mrs. Bo today and was punished and grounded."
