Chapter Twenty-Six: Frustration
Lu Muqing's grandfather and Lu Yijian are cousins, his parents and sister died when he was a child, and Mrs. Lu remembered his tragic life and the decay of the court, so she took him back to his knees and fostered him in the courtyard of his eldest son Lu Gongqiu.
Lu Yijian has many heirs, and there are many collateral descendants who cling to him, so he is very unfamiliar with Lu Muqing. Because of this, Lu Muqing gained great freedom in acting. When he joined the army and went to the northwest to fortify the defense, when he was transferred back to the infantry division, and when he was demoted to a fire probe, Lu Yijian didn't ask too much. This is also the fundamental reason why General Mei's faction was willing to reuse Lu Muqing before, and then used Lu Muqing to convict them.
Use him because he is capable.
abandoned him because he was Lu Yijian's cousin after all, and he was not convinced.
Lu Muqing spread out the neatly written document in front of Lu Yijian, said Xia Ronghe's words 1510, and asked: "I'm afraid that the matter will be handled recklessly, but it will backfire, so please ask the old lady to dial one or two." β
Lu Yijian glanced at it, but he didn't open it, obviously not wanting to interfere, "It doesn't matter, don't hold on to it." β
"How can it be inconsequential? Old gentleman! He paused, and called out more and more firmly: "Prime Minister Lu Cheng!" His voice was calm and steady, without the slightest flinch, "700,000 taels may not be anything in your eyes, but it is almost the tax silver paid by the people of a county for a year of hard work, since the official family allocated these silver taels to the infantry military division and used it for the fire administration, it should be ...... every cent."
"Huh." Lu Yijian chuckled lightly and shook his head, "If the affairs of the court are as simple as you think, the official family will not need me as the prime minister!" After saying this, he stopped talking and motioned for Lu Muqing to leave.
Lu Muqing was frustrated one after another, angry and helpless, but fortunately, he was patient and rational since he was a child, without any expression on his face. He walked quickly with the paperwork in his arms, and countless thoughts came to his mind, and he didn't pay attention to who he met and what he bumped into. It wasn't until someone hit him hard and threw the paperwork to the ground that he suddenly regained his attention.
It turned out to be Mei Shuyao.
Her little face was red like a crescent moon, and her eyes were shining, "Brother Mu Qing, why are you in such a hurry?" Her voice was soft and glutinous, naturally squeamish, and Lu Muqing's heart warmed.
He forgot that General Mei and Prime Minister LΓΌ Chengxiang had always been in close contact, even though they seemed to outsiders to be political enemies.
Mei Shuyao has been in and out of Lu Mansion since she was a child, and she comes and goes freely.
Lu Muqing smiled, he rarely smiled, because there were not too many happy things in the world, but when he saw Mei Shuyao, he would laugh unconsciously, or he didn't realize it himself. So no matter who says that Lu Muqing is cold, Mei Shuxiao will refute it, in her eyes, Lu Muqing is the warmest person in the world.
"You're coming to the feast? Who came with you? He feared for her safety.
Mei Shuxiao glanced left and right, and when she saw that Lin Shen was full of flowers, she reached out and held Lu Muqing's palm, "Are you okay?" I went back to see you, but Xia Ronghe said that he couldn't find you, and he was angry with me. β
When she spoke, her eyebrows and eyes were fluttering, and she was coquettish to him.
Lu Muqing silently withdrew his hand, put it on her forehead, and patted it gently, "The infantry division is full of men, who allowed you to go?" If you want to see me, send someone to tell me, and I will go to you. β
Mei Shu pouted and said in a mosquito voice, "I miss you." She likes Lu Muqing, she likes to be frank, she never hides from anyone, and she doesn't pretend to be hypocritical. She didn't know when she started, she had Lu Muqing in her heart, she only knew that at the moment, apart from her father, Lu Muqing was the only person she cared about.
