After a full meal, everyone was about to leave the restaurant, Fu Yun suddenly said: "Thank you Confucius University for your hospitality, we are coming to the Holy City to visit an important senior, so we can only say goodbye first, and ask Confucius University and Lu Xie Yuan to understand." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Kong Ce waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I happen to have some trivial things to deal with, and I don't have time to accompany the two of you to wander around, so you can do it yourself." ”

Then he said to Lu Ming: "Early tomorrow morning, all the readers who participate in the Chongyang Club will have to go to the 'Welcome Building' for a small gathering with invitations, don't lose the invitation I gave you that day." ”

"Don't worry, the little student always carries it with him. Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Alright, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

Afterwards, everyone left the restaurant together and left separately.

Day 2.

Lu Ming came to the welcome building on time, and entered it with the invitation card given by Kong Ce, and many readers gathered in groups, and there was a lively voice.

"Today is the Chung Yeung Festival, and the Holy Courtyard invites us scholars to climb Mount Tai together, and today's event must be very interesting. ”

"Hehe, Mount Tai is the first strange mountain in the Holy Forest Continent, the Jade Emperor Peak of the main peak is more than 500 zhang high, there are strange winds along the way, the higher the more difficult it is to climb, there will be great danger if you are not careful, and it is comparable to ordinary mountains. ”

"This time, the Holy Academy invited us scholars from the Seven Kingdoms to climb together, in order to promote the friendship of scholars from the Seven Kingdoms, but I think this matter is extremely not simple, and many families attach great importance to it, and it is very likely that they want to take the opportunity to compete for literary fame and compete with each other. ”

"Hehe, the matter between the Seven Kingdoms is difficult to explain in words, today's mountaineering, we and other Chu people can't lag behind. ”

Lu Ming was aimless on the surface, but in fact, he was listening carefully to everyone's conversation, so as not to miss any relevant information.

The hall on the first floor is filled with tables where scholars from the Seven Kingdoms sit, divided into seven areas with screens.

"Lu Ming, this way!"

A young Liang Guoren beckoned to Lu Ming and said loudly, "We are all waiting for you, come over quickly!"

"This voice is familiar......

Lu Ming took a closer look at this person's appearance, immediately remembered it, and walked over quickly, "Su Li, it's been a long time, I really didn't expect to meet you here." ”

The other party was the friend Lu Ming made in Jingzhou City, but Su Li's literary name was not big, how could he also receive an invitation from the Holy Academy?

"Let's let go, Lu Jieyuan is here!"

"What! Lu Jieyuan is here?"

Many Liang people stood up one after another and greeted Lu Ming together, very enthusiastic.

"I've seen Lu Jieyuan!"

"I've seen Lu Zhenguo!"

The people of Liang Guo saluted one after another, respectfully, as if they were treating a university scholar.

"You don't have to be so polite, please take a seat!"

Lu Ming said as he returned the salute with a smile on his face.

Su Li squeezed to the front and said, "Brother Lu Ming, if you don't dislike it, how about sharing the table with us?"

"Hey, Su Li, what do you mean, why do you let Lu Jieyuan share the table with you? It's so unfair!"

"That's right, Brother Su Li, Lu Jieyuan is the most popular scholar in Liang Kingdom, it is too wronged to be at the same table with you, with his reputation, he should be at the same table with the Yan family. ”

The person who said this was a young scholar, with a handsome face and a good demeanor, and he knew at a glance that he was a scholar from a family.

"Yan family?", many people looked dissatisfied.

Lu Ming glanced at it, and soon found an "acquaintance", that is, Yan Weiqing.

Yan Weiqing's neighborhood was all from the Yan family, and they all looked at Lu Ming with a different kind of gaze at this moment, some were indifferent, some were jealous, and some were murderous.

Su Li immediately said, "The Yan family is not worthy of sitting at the same table with Lu Ming. ”

"What did you say!"

Some of the Yan family members looked angry, and then they saw a Yan family Hanlin whispering in their ears, and then those people looked frightened and hurriedly closed their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ming felt more and more that Su Li was a very mysterious person, maybe he had a tough backstage, and even the Yan family didn't dare to offend.

"Could it be that he is a relative of the emperor?"

Lu Ming felt that this possibility was very high, as long as he could have something to do with the royal family, even if it was a little bit, even if it was an unknown family, others would not dare to offend easily.

"Brother Su Li, you are too domineering!"

Many people were dissatisfied, but everyone respected Su Li very much, and no one dared to argue with him.

"Lu Ming is a branch of our Lu family, and he should sit at the same table with his clan!"

A voice sounded, and I saw a Hanlin scholar walking over, Mo was about twenty years old, and bowed his hand slightly to Lu Ming, and said: "I am Lu Wenxiang, the secretary of the military department of Jingzhou City, and my ancestral home is the Lu family of Shaoming Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Wenxiang's tone revealed a hatred, and then said: "You and I are from the same background, although we have never met, I have always paid attention to your literary name. ”

Lu Ming didn't fully believe it when he heard this, and immediately said: "I haven't heard of the name 'Lu Wenxiang', I have nothing to do with the 'Lu family', please don't call me a brother." ”

"This is the family tree, you can take it and see it!"

Lu Wenxiang sighed, took out a family tree and handed it to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming looked through it briefly, and then took out the genealogy left by his father for comparison, and it was exactly the same content.

"This is indeed the family tree, could it be that your father and my father are also cousins?"

"That's true in genealogical rankings. ”

Lu Wenxiang continued: "I am the secretary of the military department who only took office this year, and many people don't know me, but I have an official seal as proof. ”

As he spoke, he also took out a bronze official seal for Lu Ming to see, he, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was only a six-rank official, and he did not have direct military power, and was mainly engaged in the work of the Ministry of War.

"Looks like you're my cousin. ”

Lu Ming returned the official seal and genealogy, and said: "However, I am no longer the 'Lu family' of Shaoming Mansion, and it is impossible to recognize the relationship between you and me no matter what, even if you and I are both officials in the military department." ”

"You are a major general in the Zhenzhou Army, and you are also a member of the military department, if you don't dislike it, can you have a banquet at the same table?

Su Li immediately said: "Brother Wenxiang, Lu Ming is my friend, how can you 'rob' him?"

"Brother Su Li, Lu Xie Yuan and I are both officials of the Ministry of War, and we were finally able to meet at the right time, you should be an adult!", Lu Wenxiang said with a smile.

Su Li said unhappily: "It's really nonsense, I think you want to take the opportunity to promote your literary name! But then again, you are obviously not a famous child of a family, how can you have an invitation from the Holy Academy?" )
