273. Zhang Lu
Zhang Shu went down to the first floor, and just as a group of people entered the gate.
He immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, "Haha, Brother Yu Qing is here, and the pivot is overjoyed, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!"
The person who came was Lu Shikui, followed by Fan Wenhu and his wife.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Dounan is still romantic, and being able to hold the Oiran Conference so flowery, far better than in the past, really makes Lu admire." Lu Shikui returned the salute with a smile.
Zhang Shu waved his hand again and again, "Brother Yu Qing said with a smile, this Oiran Conference is not organized by me, it is actually the initiative of the Academy, I am just lending this garden."
Since the Tang Dynasty, industrial and commercial workers began to establish organizations, called guilds and regiments, which were very common in the Song Dynasty, and basically all industries had guilds.
At first, "guild house" referred to the general guild organization, and gradually it became more biased towards the Fengyue industry, so the top female singer was also called the head of the line, so that the leaders of other guilds were renamed the head of the line or the old man.
"Really?" Lu Shikui naturally didn't believe Zhang Shu's statement, but he didn't take it seriously, "Wenhu, Qi Niang, come, salute Brother Dounan."
Fan Wenhu and his wife bowed to each other, "Meet Zhang Gongzi."
Zhang Junsheng was named the king of Qinghe County, posthumously presented to the king of Xun, although there is no hereditary, but there is nothing wrong with calling him the son of his fifth grandson Zhang Shu.
"Haha, the virtuous couple is very polite, Lu Niangzi is heroic, worthy of the tiger girl, and the elder brother Wenhu is also majestic and brave, and he will become a famous general in the near future."
After some greetings, Zhang Shu took Lu Shikui's arm, "Go upstairs and sit, I specially reserved the best room for Brother Yu Qing."
"Thank you so much Brother Dounan, but I think it's best to watch the performance in front of the stage, although the upstairs is good, it's always a little bit less interesting." Lu Shikui politely refused.
Zhang Shu didn't care, and said with a smile, "Haha, Brother Yu Qing knows the true meaning of it, speaking of which, I will also go to the front of the stage later, but there is still some time to start, how about you and I go for a cup of tea first?"
Lu Shikui understood that Zhang Shu had something to tell him, so he asked the others to go to the stage first, and followed Zhang Shu to the room on the fifth floor alone.
The two sat down, and Zhang Shu pushed a piece of land deed in front of Lu Shikui, "The previous matter, thanks to Ling Zun's help, saved the Han family from a trouble, just a small gift is not a thank you, and please ask Brother Yu Qing to smile."
Lu Shikui didn't even look at it, so he pushed the title deed back, "Hey, Brother Dounan is an outsider, you and I often help each other, why do you need to do this!?"
On the surface, the Zhang family is now a civil official, and the Lu family is a military general, and the two families are different and do not conspire with each other, but in fact, they are not.
In the Great Song Army, "the world is a general, and the general is a general" is an extremely common phenomenon, and the children of the generals are an important part of the military general group.
But at the same time, due to the concept of governing the country by advocating literature and suppressing martial arts, it has led to the social reality that "the children of all generals are ashamed to practice bow and horse", and many descendants of the generals have abandoned martial arts and followed literature.
Among the four generals of Zhongxing, including Yue Fei, who was later taken by Xiaozong, their descendants basically became civil officials, not only by shadow, but also by the Jinshi.
But it doesn't mean that their family has nothing to do with the army, especially the Zhang family.
Zhang Jun, whether he is good at speculation or politically astute, can always make a favorable choice at the right time.
In that year, after the situation was relatively stable, Zhao Jiumei intended to collect the military power, and after Zhang Jun noticed it, he was the first to take the initiative to hand over the military power, Gaozong and Qin Hui took advantage of the situation to remove the three Xuanfu Division, and also accepted the military power of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei.
In this way, he avoided the purge of the old department and left a huge network of relationships in the army, so that the Zhang family was able to sit on a huge wealth and have always stood tall.
After all, the descendants of high-ranking generals have the opportunity to transfer to civilian capital, but most of the middle- and lower-level generals are still sons succeeding their fathers, and they rarely need the help of veteran generals, so this relationship is maintained from generation to generation.
The influence of the Zhang family in the Song army should be one of the best, and even the later Yuan Dynasty felt jealous, so they found an excuse to cut down Zhang Wei, who had surrendered, that is, Zhang Shu's father, and Zhang Shu and his son were not able to get into the official position in the Yuan Dynasty.
The Lu family is an upstart in the army, so it is inevitable that they will intersect with the Zhang family, and even be embarrassed to be a female worker.
The Zhang family has a large number of industries, covering industry, agriculture and commerce, and there are many productions, and in order to make huge profits, they often use the military-Chinese relations to carry out border exchanges, which are actually smuggling to enemy countries.
Wu Yuan is also Wu Qian's third brother, he is upright, he is harsh, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.
At this time, Lu Wende, who was serving as the pacification envoy in Hubei, took action, dealt with the official, and solved the crisis of the Zhang family, so Zhang Shu took out 10,000 acres of fertile land to reward.
Zhang Shu saw that Lu Shikui did not accept it, nor was he reluctant, because Lu Wende's military affairs and military supplies often needed the help of the Zhang family to dredge.
"Brother Yu Qing is a noble person, and he regards money as dung, but I am abrupt, the Lu and Zhang families are in the same boat, and they communicate with each other, so they really don't need these, but this kindness, the Zhang family must keep it in mind, and I won't talk about it, but I actually need Brother Yu Qing's help with other things today."
Lu Shikui plucked the teacup and said in surprise, "Oh! What is it that requires Brother Dounan to be so solemn? Let's hear it, as long as I can do it, I am naturally obligated to do it."
Zhang Shu said slowly, "It is rumored that Yan Ran'er of Jinxiu Building is Brother Yu Qing's confidante?"
"Hey, Brother Dounan is really well-informed, I didn't think a few people would know."
Lu Shikui didn't know what Zhang Shu wanted to do for a while, so he looked at him directly, and blamed him for exploring his privacy.
Zhang Shu didn't want him to misunderstand, so he immediately explained, "Brother Yu Qing, don't misunderstand, for me, a person who has been wandering in the land of Fengyue all year round, there is no real secret in the courtyard, and it is not deliberately aimed at Brother Yu Qing."
Lu Shikui shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be generous, "Actually, it's nothing, if you know, you know, anyway, I'm here to help Ran Er win the championship, and I can't hide this relationship at that time."
"Brother Yu Qing really has a good eye, this Yan lady is both talented and beautiful, comparable to Tang An'an, even if there is no external help, she is also qualified to win the Oiran, however, I have a reluctant request, begging Brother Yu Qing to raise his noble hand and give this Oiran to Tang An'an." Zhang Shu is very sincere.
"This ...... I'm afraid not." Lu Shikui's face was a little ugly, "Don't hide it from Brother Dounan, I actually wanted to redeem myself for Ran Er, and now she finally agreed, the only condition is to win the Oiran, how can I give up easily!?"
Zhang Shu frowned, "Heroes love beauties, it is also human nature, I also hope that a lover will eventually become a family, if you change the time, you will definitely become an adult, but at the moment this Oiran must be Tang An'an, this matter may be related to the survival of the Zhang family, and please Brother Yu Qing can understand my hardships, so as not to fight and hurt the harmony of the two families."
Hearing this, Lu Shikui wondered in his heart and couldn't help but ponder.
The Zhang family's desire to support Tang An'an must be different from their own reasons for supporting Yan Ran'er, so what is their purpose?
After thinking about it for a long time, he vaguely felt that it might be related to King Yan, but he was a little confused.
The Zhang family is a big landowner, but King Yan vigorously pushes the meridian law, and the two sides have natural contradictions, but the Zhang family did not participate in Xie Tang's "anti-Yan" action before, and also bought a lot of stocks, which seems to be moving closer to King Yan.
Could it be that the Zhang family wants to dedicate Tang An'an to King Yan as a favor?
