Although he was going to act tonight, in fact, long before Lu Hanjiang returned to Beijing, Meng Yuan had already instructed the people below to start arranging, so there was no need for him to do these trivial things, now he mainly played a role in coordinating the overall situation.

Before retiring, Meng Yuan also explained one thing to him-

"Your uncle has a letter to let you have time to come to the door, it's still early today, so you can go now."

Lu Shangshu and Meng Yuan have a very close personal relationship, but they have nothing to do with it on the surface, and Lu Hanjiang was also expelled from the sect by taking the Ming Road, but this did not prevent him from coming to the door.

After all, some things are easy to do secretly, and some things, even if they are done openly, others will consider them in other places, and sneaking is more eye-catching.

Leaving from Meng Yuan, Lu Hanjiang went home and changed into a regular dress and asked Lao Qian to hand over the post, although it was extremely rude to send the post on the same day, but the relationship between Lu Hanjiang and the Lu family was delicate, and there was no need to worry about this minutiae.

The Lu family is a hundred-year-old family, and the patriarch Lu Yannian is even more of a scholar in the household department, this mansion is naturally prominent and majestic, and the servant standing at the door has not said anything inappropriate after Lu Hanjiang reported his home, but the long silence is rude enough.

This is not to blame him, after all, except for Lu Shangshu and Meng Yuan, in the eyes of others, Lu Hanjiang is a rebel who disobeys the discipline of the family, even if he is now in a high position, it can't change the fact that he was expelled from the family.

The highest moral standard in this era is nothing more than loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and the second is to glorify the ancestors, the concept of clan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is a very humiliating thing to be expelled from the family.

Follow the servant who led the way through the vestibule of the Lu Mansion and went to the direction of the study, in fact, there was no need for this little guy to guide the way, Lu Hanjiang had already been familiar with the direction by heart after coming many times.

Although the maids and servants I met on the way were all trained very well, no one dared to chew their tongues in person, and I am afraid that they did not have that spare time in private, but it was difficult to say about the other people.

Two young men of the same age walked not far away, watching him walk past him with unkind expressions.

If he remembers correctly, one of these two is the youngest son of Lu Shangshu, and the other one he has no impression of, so he should be a child of the Lu family.

When he followed the little servant away, the young man who looked so immature spoke: "I just heard Uncle Nan say that he handed over the post, and he came to the door so quickly, it's really ......."

Another older man said: "He is such a person who does not like to be polite, Yuanjia does not need to be surprised." ”

Lu Hanjiang remembered correctly, the young man's name was Lu Yuanjia, and he was Lu Shangshu's youngest son.

"Cousin Asahi Zhi, have you seen him before?"

Lu Yuanjia's cousin Xuzhi is the son of Lu Shangshu's brother, and he is a few months older than him.

"When we were young, we used to study at home together," Lu Xuzhi explained, and said: "Yuanjia, you were sick when you were young, and you went to home school later than us, so it is reasonable to not know his temperament." ”

"Why did he come to his father? Don't you want to return to the family? ”

Lu Yuanjia's tone was full of alienation and annoyance, he didn't have a good impression of Lu Hanjiang, which was also a matter of course, a descendant of the clan would certainly not have a good impression of the rebellious son who was expelled.

"It's normal for a wanderer to miss home."

Lu Xuzhi's rhetoric is probably the general opinion of people at the moment, returning to the family not only has a different identity, but also can greatly expand his network, and the most important thing is that he can gain a lot of fame and be recognized by Shilin again.

If Lu Hanjiang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely feel that the young people now are stunned to read one by one, and they don't look at what kind of world they are now, no matter how high their prestige is, they can't stop the sharpness of the embroidered spring knife, so why bother.

In Lu Shangshu's study, the servant had already brought tea, and after he retreated, Lu Hanjiang saluted Lu Yannian squarely: "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

Although Lu Hanjiang's parents in this life are not well-known and insignificant in the family, they are the same generation as Lu Shangshu in terms of generation, so it is not too polite for him to call him uncle.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shangshu turned sideways and did not accept it, and Lord Shangshu said seriously: "Pay attention to your identity." ”

Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, then he was dumbfounded for a while, and then said: "Why should my uncle be so careful, there are no outsiders here, and this ceremony is not for subordinates to worship officials, but for nephews to worship uncles." ”

Lu Shangshu shook his head, but he didn't continue to hold on here, he asked, "Can it be smooth on the southbound road this time?" ”

"Everything is fine, thank you uncle for your concern."

The two sat and chatted sporadically about some parents, Lu Hanjiang felt a little dry and picked up the tea and took a sip, but he heard Lu Shangshu ask abruptly: "Your marriage is ......"

Burst.

All the tea that Lu Hanjiang had just drunk was back in the cup, he coughed twice, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and Lu Shangshu frowned at these series of actions.

"Ahem, ahem, what did Uncle just say?" Lu Hanjiang didn't expect that he would suddenly talk about such a heavy topic.

Lu Shangshu was silent for a long time before he said: "Brother Meng said to the old man, you lingered in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion a while ago, it is always inappropriate to indulge like this, and it is better to settle your temperament if you start a family earlier." ”

"When am I ...... Oh. ”

Lu Hanjiang was stunned halfway through his words, he remembered the twenty girls who invited Yuelou that night....... That's it?

"You are twenty-four this year, and you will be twenty-five in the new year, and you are not small, you should become a family."

As Lu Shangshu said this, he asked in an aggravated tone, "Do you have a favorite girl?" ”

Lu Hanjiang shook his head and said, "That's not true. ”

Lu Shangshu and Meng Yuan are both old-fashioned personalities, and they pay attention to the words of a parent's order and concubine, and free love is called private teaching in this era.

But Lu Hanjiang is not perfunctory to them, he has indeed never met a suitable girl.

"That's good," Lu Shangshu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The old man will send someone to see the right person for you, although you are obviously not from the clan, but now you also have a fourth-grade official position, and it is not difficult to find a girl from a family." ”

What's more, it's not difficult, with Meng Yuan sitting behind him, what kind of girl is not to be picked by him, don't think that he is born in a family and looks down on martial arts, and he has no brains to rely on his family background to dare to scream in front of his old man's idiot, at this time, he is counting ants in the edict.

"Everything is up to my uncle's arrangement."

Lu Hanjiang promised to be fast, as the so-called car must have a road before the mountain, there is something to do today tomorrow, and if you don't get married tonight, you will let Lu Shangshu worry about this matter.

Then the two chatted about it for a while, most of the time Lu Shangshu was saying, Lu Hanjiang was perfunctory "uh-huh, okay", and when he came back to his senses, the sun was already about to set westward.

Lu Shangshu glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "Before you know it, it's been this hour, and now that you have a special identity, it's not good for the old man to keep you for dinner." ”

"Where did my uncle speak, there is still something in my nephew's yamen, so I will leave."

Lu Hanjiang went out and happened to bump into several female dependents of the Lu family who were fighting, and Lu Shangshu's face turned black when he came out.
