"That's why Lu Shangshu's grace of dripping water is reciprocated, and over the years, he has not only secretly worked together with Jinyiwei, but also sent his nephews to Jinyiwei, with good intentions." Old Master Luo seemed to have a thorn in his words.

Lu Yannian said slowly: "My lord's words are wrong, how can it be regarded as a grace of dripping water, back then, my brother's wife had just given birth to a lin'er for him and was attacked by water thieves, if it wasn't for Lord Meng's action, I am afraid that my poor nephew would have long been out of nowhere." ”

The air in the tea room froze for a moment, and this made Old Master Luo's eyes squint slightly, he looked directly into Lu Shangshu's eyes, and asked calmly: "This is the first time I have heard of this matter, can Lu Shangshu tell me in detail." ”

"Actually, there's nothing to say," Lu Yannian paused, and said slowly: "Lord Meng escorted my brother and wife back to Beijing, and in order to thank him for his kindness, I came forward to ask Lord Meng to give the newborn child a name. ”

Old Master Luo leaned forward slightly, his eyes were solemn, and Lu Yannian said leisurely: "Speaking of which, Xu is my nephew who has a fate with Master Meng, and when he grows up, he doesn't like to read and prefers martial arts, so I took the lead and sent him to Jinyiwei." ”

Old Master Luo said in a deep voice: "The person Lu Shangshu said, the old man seems to have an impression. ”

Lu Yannian said with a smile: "The old man is naturally not a stranger, it is said that my nephew behaved perversely, and he also had a few rudeness in front of the old man, this is not my uncle, here is to make amends to you, I hope you have a lot, don't worry about him." ”

】

Old Master Luo stared at Lu Shangshu solemnly: "Forgive the old man for not liking to ask hexagrams and riddles, dare to ask, what is the child's surname?" ”

Lu Yannian lowered his head, and after being silent for a long time, he held the already cold half cup of tea in his hand, and said slowly: "When the child was born, Lord Meng originally intended to name the child Yao Ze. ”

Old Master Luo didn't speak, Lu Shangshu didn't finish speaking, he just listened to him continue: "But then I thought that this son had a bad fate, and this word was too heavy, and it might be difficult to continue——"

"Therefore, I suggested that Master Meng should simplify the complex, the child was born in the cold winter of Layue, and his fate was set on the river, so he named the child after this," Lu Yannian took a deep breath and said word by word: "Hanjiang." ”

Old Master Luo's hands were put on the table at some point, his upper body sat up slightly, leaned forward a little, and stared at Lu Yannian tightly.

Lu Yannian was unmoved, and after a while, he slowly got up and bowed to Old Master Luo: "Today's rise, I can't help but say some gossip, and I hope the old man doesn't mind, by the way, in a few days it will be a big day for my nephew to return to the sect, if you have free time, please enjoy the light." ”

After saying that, Lu Yannian slowly withdrew from the tea room, and at the same time, Qi Yunzhou, the vice president of Meihua Academy, quietly walked in from the other side.

"Teacher."

Qi Yunzhou came to the place where Lu Yannian was just now and sat down, looked at Old Master Luo who was still in a trance, and said jokingly: "It seems that this Lord Lu is not over forty years old as rumored to be well-maintained..... The teacher thinks what Master Shangshu said, is it credible? ”

When he said the second half of the sentence, Qi Yunzhou's expression became a lot more serious.

Old Master Luo slowly recovered from the shock, and he stroked his beard and said: "What Lu Yannian said can indeed explain some of the mysteries of the year, and Lu Hanjiang was immediately taken seriously when he was just starting out, and it was made clear. ”

Qi Yunzhou calmed down and said in a low voice: "In this way, the teacher thinks that the child who disappeared in Jiangnan was taken away by Lord Meng under the pretense of being a child of the Lu family?" ”

Old Master Luo was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "The old man is not sure, over the years, the old man has carefully investigated the affairs of Jiangnan, how many forces have intervened in it, and under the suspicions, the old man has only found out that Meng Yuan brought back a child from Jiangnan. ”

Qi Yunzhou reminded in a low voice: "Teacher, don't forget, when the junior sister left Jiangnan, she also took a child with her. ”

"You're right."

Old Master Luo's eyes were closed and he muttered for a long time, and then slowly opened them again: "The whereabouts of the child taken by the crown princess are still unknown, although Meng Yuan's side doesn't know if he is suspicious or true, but he can finally confirm that the child in his hand is now Lu Hanjiang." ”

Qi Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed: "If it is Lord Lu, then it is understandable that Lord Meng has cultivated him for many years, just with Lu Shangshu's favor, there is absolutely no way for Lord Meng, who is in power to lean towards the government and the opposition, to do this." ”

"Now Meng Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, but he may be able to get a glimpse of what he has done over the years." Old Master Luo said intently.

Qi Yunzhou thought for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "The teacher is talking about Princess Yongle?" Indeed, if Lord Lu's identity is really noble, wouldn't this marriage mess up the generations. ”

Old Master Luo waved his hand: "In front of that seat, seniority is a small section, and the old man would rather believe that this is one of the means that Meng Yuan used to hide from the world." ”

Qi Yunzhou frowned and said, "In this way, the teacher thinks that Lord Lu is the real ......."

Old Master Luo shook his head again: "...... It's hard to say, everything is unknown now, Meng Yuan is missing, the good luck is uncertain, Lu Yannian's move is to win over, we can't act rashly. ”

Qi Yunzhou sighed and said: "But, teacher, what I'm afraid of is that we can't stay out of the matter forever, you and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess now have the name of master and apprentice, and you have a lot of contradictions with Lord Lu, if you are silent any longer, I am afraid that Jinyi Wei will close your eyes and cut it with a knife." ”

Old Master Luo frowned: "Listen to what you mean, are you going to lean towards Jinyiwei?" ”

Qi Yunzhou spread his hands and said calmly: "Teacher, to be honest, the junior sister's methods are indeed amazing, but if you want to say that compared with Jinyiwei, I am afraid that it is still a few points worse, and this key point is worse than the blade, if they really turn their faces one day......

Qi Yunzhou paused, and said in a low voice: "I don't think the forbidden army can stop the Jinyi Guard, especially now that the forbidden army has a clear position, the junior sister can't move at all, the situation in Beijing and Central China has been one-sided from the beginning, I can't figure out how she wants to win." ”

Old Master Luo blew his beard, glared and said, "Be clear!" ”

Qi Yunzhou smiled awkwardly: "Teacher, didn't I let you make a decision, if I had to choose by myself, then I could only rely on both sides, I was really not sure." ”

Old Master Luo frowned, and Qi Yunzhou continued: "Jinyiwei does have an advantage, but I know that my junior sister is powerful, she may not have the ability to turn the tables, I can't think of it, it's not the same as my junior sister can't do it." ”

Saying that, Qi Yunzhou said again: "Besides, the matter of twenty years ago is full of doubts, and there is still no conclusion, and it is still impossible to say who is righteous, so I think I should protect myself at this moment...... Of course, it would be better if the teacher could make the decision for me. ”

Old Master Luo looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Now that someone has used the academy to test Jinyiwei, in such a situation, how can you protect yourself?" ”

"What's so difficult about this," Qi Yunzhou said in high spirits: "Teacher, don't worry, I'll leave now, first go to the junior sister's palace to kowtow and ask for peace, and then kneel outside Lord Lu's mansion to ask for sin, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

Old Master Luo's face immediately turned black as the bottom of a pot when he heard this, he raised his hand and pointed at the door, and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

"Okay." Qi Yunzhou smiled and left the tea room smoothly.
