At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Lu Yansheng followed the old man on the main street of Yuezhou City, chatting happily along the way.

"Lu Gongzi turned out to be a tribute student, tsk... At such a young age, with such talent, the future career must be bright..."The old man exclaimed.

"Zheng Lao praised it... Xiaosheng went to Beijing to take the exam this time, if he hadn't encountered gangsters on the way and robbed me of all my plates, he wouldn't have ended up in that kind of place to sell paintings..."Lu Yansheng listened to this Zheng Lao very comfortably, and couldn't help but express his true nature.

Zheng Lao nodded and said:

"What I said is that the 'cheap street' is not a place where you scholars should go, the people there are all rough people, where will you appreciate Lu Gongzi's paintings. If I hadn't met Childe by chance today, I'm afraid Childe would have to continue to suffer from their eyes..."

Lu Yansheng hurriedly bowed his hand, and overflowed with his feelings for Zheng Lao's acquaintance:

What Zheng Lao said is that Xiao Sheng has been coldly regarded by these people for a few days, and he is extremely embarrassed. However, since Xiaosheng decided to sell his paintings there, he couldn't back down. The Venerable Master taught me to persevere, and I must not lose the courage of being a literati..."Lu Yansheng said firmly, and at the same time clenched his fists to cheer himself up.

Zheng Lao also nodded and said:

"Lu Gongzi is so courageous, there is a lack of talents like Lu Gongzi in the court..."

"Where, where..." Lu Yansheng touched his nose embarrassedly, but his heart was extremely comfortable.

"However, this is the way of officials, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will bring about death. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, is Lu Gongzi ready to dedicate everything to the people of the world?"

When Lu Yansheng heard what Zheng Lao said, he immediately stopped his waist and replied with a serious face:

"Don't hide it from Zheng Lao, Xiao Sheng steals that it is natural for a scholar to read for fame, but he can't lose his heart. Once I gain fame and have the honor to accompany you, or become a parent official, I will definitely be conscientious and conscientious, and I will have a clear conscience, who will harm me?"

After hearing what Lu Yansheng said, Zheng Lao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said:

"Lu Gongzi's righteousness is indeed admired, so he has a clear conscience... However, have you thought about it, Childe, if you can be stable with a clear conscience, why are so many people capsizing in this sea? Childe is a native of Liangzhou, so he must know the history of spurs in Shushan Road in Liangzhou, right?"

Lu Yansheng is the Taoist clan of Shushan in Liangzhou, and of course he knows the history of spurs. When he heard Zheng Lao ask, he couldn't help but be stunned, and replied:

"Xiao Sheng knows that this spur history is corrupt and perverted, and his second son is even more careless about human life. Today, His Majesty's holy name has ordered the spur Shi Manmen to be beheaded, which is really very happy..."

"Hehe... There are 360 provinces in Kyushu, so many thorn histories, is there no one among them who is as greedy as the spur history? As far as the old man knows, there are only a lot more... Why was Spurs punished with capital punishment alone?Has Lu Gongzi ever thought about this question?" Zheng Lao suddenly asked.

"Uh... This..."Lu Yansheng frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't answer.

That Zheng Lao was very satisfied with Lu Yansheng's reaction, and he said:

"Isn't the life and death of the history of the spur just a sentence of the current emperor?

These words were like a basin of cold water poured on the top of Lu Yansheng's head, pouring his heart cold and cold, and his face became extremely ugly.

Elder Zheng saw Lu Yansheng's reaction in his eyes, and continued:

"Even if you are an honest official, you can't be spared. Like Guo Xi, who has just been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Guo. He was an upright person, and when he was a magistrate in Jiangnan Dongdao, Yangzhou, he had outstanding political achievements and was loved by the people. But where are you now? Isn't it because of the leakage of the exam questions for this palace examination, and he has been put in prison?"

"What Your Majesty hates most is favoritism and fraud under his nose, and the old man guesses that Lord Guo is not far from the ghost gate..."

"Even Lord Guo..."

Lu Yansheng fell into deep thought, although what Zheng Lao said was a bit exaggerated, it also made some sense. When the Son of Heaven is angry, corpses can be scattered all over the field, but it is not for fun.

He is only in his early twenties, which is the age of squandering his youth, and he has neither experience nor support. Even if you embark on a career in office, what will be your end?

Wouldn't it be beheaded like the history of Spurs?

Thinking of this, Lu Yansheng felt as if a machete was hanging above his head, and his neck was cold. He lost his soul at this time, and followed Zheng Lao unknowingly for a long distance.

"Master Lu, we've arrived... Lu Gongzi?" Old Zheng found that Lu Yansheng was in a daze, so he called out.

Lu Yansheng quickly woke up, and he realized that it was dark this day, and what caught his eye was a rich man's residence.

The plaque on the gate reads "Zheng Fu" in two big characters, and two large red lanterns are hung at the door, illuminating the surroundings.

"Hey, Elder Zheng, are we actually out of the city? Is your mansion outside Yuezhou City?" Lu Yansheng turned his head to look back at Yuezhou City under the cover of night and asked.

"Haha... Yes, the old man's residence is just outside the city. The land in the city is very expensive, and you can buy several times the amount of land in the city for the same price, which is a very good deal..."

Elder Zheng replied, and at the same time stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Lu Yansheng secretly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

At this time, a middle-aged man poked his head out, and when he saw that his master had returned, he quickly opened the door, bent down and said:

"Sir, you're back..."

Zheng Lao nodded and instructed the middle-aged man:

"Old grandson, you hurry up and arrange the wine and food to entertain my distinguished guest..."

Old Sun Tou glanced at Lu Yansheng, immediately understood, and hurriedly said:

"Master, I'll go and set it up, you and this son will go to the hall to rest first..."

Old Zheng nodded again, and the old grandson retreated.

Lu Yansheng followed Zheng Lao into the mansion, and along the way, he saw that the mansion was also arranged by ordinary people, and gradually relieved himself.

The two of them paced down the hall and sat down.

Lu Yansheng spoke first:

"Old Zheng, I don't know what you asked Xiao Sheng to paint?"

Zheng Lao smiled and said:

"It's a portrait of a person, don't hide it from Lu Gongzi, this person is the little girl Lanxin. She's eighteen this year, and I want her to marry someone, so I want to paint a portrait of her so that I can make friends with a matchmaker..."

Lu Yansheng understands and paints portraits of people on blind dates, which is normal.

"Lan Xin, come out quickly, so that Lu Gongzi can paint a portrait of you..."Zheng Lao turned his head and called.

After a while, a young girl walked out from behind. She has a light gait, lotus feet and a graceful posture.

This girl must be Lan Xin, she slowly put down the jade hand that hid her face, revealing a beautiful girl's face.

Lan Xin's gaze met with Lu Yansheng, and he immediately lowered his head in shame.

Lu Yansheng's heart was also fluttering, this woman was really stunning, especially her temperament was also extraordinary, and she suddenly felt good.

"Daddy, Lan Xin said okay, don't you want to marry..."

Lan Xin trotted to Zheng Lao's side, shook his arm, and said angrily.

"Daddy, I watched you grow up day by day, and the marriage event can't be delayed. This is Lu Gongzi, he studied under Zhang Daozi, and he will definitely make a satisfactory portrait for you..."Zheng Lao said.

Lan Xin looked at Lu Yansheng, nodded slightly, and said:

"Okay, my daughter wants to see what this son is capable of..."
