Located in the south courtyard of Lufu, the ancient pine temple is the most luxurious and solemn place among the many gardens in Lufu.

This garden was built 36 years ago, originally called Jiangnan Garden, the owner of the Lu family spent a lot of financial and material resources and manpower, transported a lot of Jiangnan forests and flowers, this courtyard, carved elegant and gorgeous.

Later, someone in the Lu Mansion entered the palace as a nobleman, and was favored by Emperor Tianchong, so the noble man had the opportunity to send an ancient pine tree to the Lu Mansion.

That noble man once said: "Honka is fortunate to bless the surname Lu for 30 years." ”

It is precisely because of this ancient pine that Jiangnan Garden was renovated again and named Guankomatsu Temple.

For example, above the courtyard of the vase, the four vigorous characters are also written by the great Confucian Li Shen of the dynasty, especially the ancient pine word, one stroke, the strokes are full of vitality, it is really like an ancient pine with branches and leaves!

Entering the ancient pine courtyard, passing through a begonia stone arch, it is a change of scenery, there is a rockery abruptly rugged, there is a clear stream meandering gracefully, this place is full of flowers, and that place is vigorous!

It is really an antique Suzhou garden, solemn and elegant!

"This view of the Ancient Song Temple is really beautiful."

Qingyue followed behind Lu Jing, her hands in front of her, her fingers tangled, and she followed suit, with a lot of nervousness in her eyes.

Don't say it's Qingyue......

Even Lu Jing, as the young master of the Lu family, has only entered this Guangusong Temple a handful of times.

In the past, when Lu Shenyuan was still in Taixuanjing, he never invited Lu Jing and Lu Jing's mother to come to Guangusong Courtyard for Chinese New Year's Eve.

Later, Lu Shenyuan was relegated to the distant mountain road, and Mrs. Zhong, in order to reflect the generosity and virtue of the Lu Mansion's family, allowed Lu Jingniang to take Lu Jing with her, and spent a luxurious year in this ancient pine courtyard.

Later, Lu Jingniang's health was worse day by day, and she was sick in bed, and Mrs. Ning may have felt unlucky, so she did not allow their mother and son to enter the Ancient Song Courtyard.

Because of this, it is ridiculous to say that Lu Jing has lived in this Lu Mansion for eight or nine years, but this is the second time he has come to visit the Ancient Song Temple.

"Master Chongshan can return home from the Jokhang Temple, and the old lady is only afraid that he is very happy, so he will be the host of this Guangusong Temple."

Qingyue's eyes flashed with curiosity, and along the way, she watched the beautiful scenery of the ancient pine courtyard.

In this garden, in addition to Lu Jing and Qingyue, from time to time, there are other young masters and young ladies who walk by with their own personal maids.

They often don't squint and don't pay attention to Lu Jing.

Occasionally, when a maid bows her head, she uses the corner of her eye to look at what other maids are wearing......

There are more than 100 things in the noble mansion, and everyone knows the warmth and coldness!

Don't talk about the young master and young lady in each courtyard.

It is these maids, and there are many comparisons, to see which young master is with each other, and which shop is wearing silk satin.

So...... Qingyue deserves to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

Many maids glanced at Qingyue lightly, and hurriedly suppressed the fleeting color in their eyes and hurriedly walked forward.

Lu Jing turned his head to look at Qingyue.

found that Qingyue's cheeks were slightly red, but she still pretended not to notice those strange eyes, and looked around at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

"This girl ......"

Lu Jing knew that Qingyue was delicate and not stupid, so how could he not know what those maids were looking at.

He turned his head silently, never breaking Qingyue, but his eyes became much more determined.

Along the way, I walked through many stone vases carved with delicate patterns, and finally came to a building.

The building was a banquet room, perched on a high platform, facing the old but luxuriant pine tree of its strange shape.

This banquet living room has a gold-topped stone wall, carved beams and painted buildings, such as birds and skins, such as Fei Sifei, built smart and solemn.

Lu Jing and Qingyue followed the stone steps and entered the banquet hall all the way.

However, I saw that in the banquet living room, sandalwood tables were placed on the left and right, and most of them were already full of people in front of them.

"Young master, look, that's our table."

Qing Yue's eyes flashed, and she caught a page of rice paper on the seat not far from the entrance of the banquet hall.

On the rice paper, it was written: "The third master of the Lu family's mansion, Lu Jing!" ”

The third master of the Lu family?

Lu Jing smiled slightly in his heart, but after taking a few steps, he had already come to the table.

"Young master, this location is excellent, it is very far away from Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, and when the banquet starts, you don't have to be so restrained."

Qingyue picked up the wine jug on the table and poured wine for Lu Jing, and spoke softly, with a little joy in her tone.

Lu Jing knew that Qingyue was enlightening him.

Because the banquet seats in the Lu Mansion are arranged, most of them are based on the status of the clan.

Ironically......

On the Lu Jing table, there are a few big words written on the table, but the seat is last.

Even the last few concubines of the second mansion were not as good, Qingyue was worried that Lu Jing would be tempted in his heart, so he spoke to ease up.

"Qingyue, there are grapes here, they are fresh, you can eat some."

Lu Jing picked a bunch of grapes from the fruit bowl on the table and handed it to Qingyue.

Qingyue waved her hand again and again.

Lu Jing said with a smile: "Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhu haven't come yet, you hurry up and eat some, otherwise you won't have a chance." ”

His smile was warm and genuine.

Qing Yue was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that this sub-ranking did not seem to have the slightest impact on Lu Jing.

In her daze, Lu Jing said again: "You don't have to worry, in fact, my name is no longer on the Lu Mansion family tree, nor is it on the Lu Mansion Inner Book."

According to reason, Mrs. Zhong didn't have to invite me to come, and now she asked me to come to the Ancient Song Temple, but I am afraid that there is a reason. ”

Lu Jing whispered softly, paused slightly, and his eyes became even colder.

"If I'm just hurting my mind for the sake of the seat, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable after a while."

Qingyue took the grape from Lu Jing's hand, turned sideways, picked one and put it in her mouth.

Bite through the grapes, and sweet and sour flavors rush into her taste buds.

At this moment, Qingyue suddenly found that Lu Jing's tone was calm, as if he was confident, and he was not afraid of the upcoming criticism.

"Young Master......" Qingyue hesitated, not daring to ask.

Lu Jing turned his head: "The return of the second mansion to the house is our chance." ”

Qingyue blinked, not understanding what Lu Jing was talking about.

At this time.

There was a commotion at the door.

Then, Lu Qiong walked in with Xi Qiu first, and there was still a lot of disgust and impatience in his eyes, as if he didn't like such an occasion.

followed by Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's breath was fierce, his eyes were flashing with bursts of red color, his face was expressionless, he was not angry and self-assured, and there was a faint terrifying aura on his burly body.

He put his hands behind his back and walked into the banquet room step by step.

Suddenly, many young masters and young ladies in the banquet hall stood up and respectfully saluted Lu Feng.

Even Lu Qiong, the eldest son of the Lu Mansion, has never had such prestige.

Lu Feng always lagged a few steps behind Lu Qiong, and believed with his hands behind his back.

And behind him, there was a young girl. This girl's posture is slender and graceful, her muscles are like snow, her waist is like a bundle, her teeth are like braided shells, and her face seems to be a little brighter than the spring color in the sky.

The clothes on his body are even more luxurious, and he is not inferior to many young ladies in Erfu.

This girl is Lu Feng's big maid Xiangxiang, who has a very high status in the house, and the maid next to her is by no means comparable.

Xiang Xiang followed Lu Feng into the banquet hall, and subconsciously looked at Lu Jing, and then quietly moved his gaze back.

"Young Master, look at the maids in Young Master Feng's courtyard."

Qingyue looked at the girl blankly, and said: "Sister Xiangxiang's birth is really beautiful, you see that her eyes are not only clear and moist, but also clear and clear, just like the stars in the night."

Of all the maids in the house, none of them can compare to her. ”

Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and glanced at Qingyue carefully.

"It's nothing more than a little more rouge than Qingyue, and she wears a gorgeous dress."

Lu Jing felt in his heart that if Qingyue dressed up, she would be much more beautiful.

"Young master, it is said that a few years ago, Sister Xixiang was originally coming to us...... No...... I came to the young master's courtyard, but I didn't know what happened, so I went to the young master's courtyard again. ”

There was pity in Qingyue's tone: "The young master is unlucky, such a beautiful daughter, but she went to another courtyard, if she comes to the courtyard, she can be my companion." ”

Lu Jing couldn't cry or laugh.

This Qingyue is sometimes well-versed in human affairs and much more shrewd, and sometimes he talks nonsense to make him laugh.

"If the incense comes, aren't you going to go to another yard? And how can she be your companion? Lu Jing reminded quietly.

Qingyue reacted: "Yes, the young master is talking about ......"

The two were whispering, and several teenagers and girls walked in the doorway.

Among them are Ning Qiang, Lin Honeysuckle, and Lu Yi...... and Lu Jiang.

Ning Qiang and Lin Honeysuckle saw Lu Jing sitting at the door, a trace of joy flashed in their eyes, and then they couldn't help frowning slightly when they saw Lu Jing's seat.

Lu Jing smiled calmly and nodded at them.

Immediately after, Lu Jing sensed a cold gaze that fell on him, which was also full of piercing murderous intent that made him can't help but shift his gaze and look at Lu Jiang next to him.

Lu Jiang's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he glanced at Lu Jing coldly.

Lu Jing didn't seem to sense the hostility in his eyes, and actually smiled at Lu Jiang.

Lu Jiang snorted coldly and turned his head.

The crowd sat still, but less than half an hour.

Mrs. Ning was on a deer-headed peachwood cane, wearing a gorgeous dress, and her face, which had never been able to squeeze out many expressions, was filled with a happy smile.

She walked into the banquet hall and looked back frequently, looking at the middle-aged man behind her.

"That's Lu Chongshan......"

Lu Jing's eyes moved slightly, the last time I saw this Lu family second mansion master, you were many years ago.

At that time, Lu Jing was still young and didn't have much memory.

But now looking at this Lu family's heavy mountain master, Lu Jing seems to see a sentence...... Zombie.

Master Chongshan's eyes were silent and his expression was lonely, but a middle-aged man in his early forties, he was born early.

When the former elegance was faintly visible on his face, he should have been a handsome young man, but now although he is not old, he seems to have become drooping and decrepit!

"Now that I think about it, many rumors about Lu Chongshan should be true."

Lu Jing took a deep breath.

For him, Lu Chongshan's return to his home was an unexpected joy!

"A gentleman always moves with the times, and a wise man must take advantage of the opportunity."

"The first step to break the cage of the Lu Mansion is today."
