If it weren't for Gu Zhiqing's past behavior being too bad, they might have reluctantly accepted this family business. With the connections of the Lu family, it is only a matter of one sentence to want to promote him as a businessman to a scholar.

However, when they learned of Gu Zhiqing's various bad deeds, the Lu family was ready to give up this family business.

Originally, the Lu family thought that with the Gu family's bad deeds, they would not dare to come to the door to take the initiative to propose, so this matter would pass.

After Miss Lu came out of the cabinet, it was too late to regret it.

Who knew that this Gu family was so ignorant and took the initiative to come to the door to propose.

"Young Master Lu, I know you have grievances in your hearts... But you may really misunderstand Gu Zhiqing."

Then the blue-clothed scholar roughly told Gu Zhiqing what he knew.

Of course, there are a lot of things hidden in it.

Young Master Lu frowned and shook his head when he heard this: "How is this possible, how can a person transform so much in just one year, even the garrison lord and the lieutenant have become his friends?" ”

"And it doesn't stop there... If you get to know him better, you will find more incredible things about him," the blue-clothed scholar said with a dewful expression.

"Brother Ma, how do I feel that you are lying to me? That's too fantastic, isn't it?"

Young Master Lu still didn't believe what the blue-clothed scholar said.

"Brother Lu, don't be in a hurry to make a decision first, how about leaving everything to the parties to decide?" The blue-clothed scholar said again,

"What do you mean?" Young Master Lu was also surprised.

"Let the little sister of the Lu family and Gu Zhiqing choose this marriage by themselves, if they don't approve of this family affair, then we don't interfere," the blue-clothed scholar said his final thoughts.

Young Master Lu pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, "Okay, it's decided, you go back, and bring your things back with you, and I will inform you of Brother Ma's words today."

In the mind of Young Master Lu, what kind of character is his little sister, how can she agree to marry that gentleman.

This is undoubtedly equivalent to helping the Lu family refuse this family business.

At this time, Young Master Lu was in a good mood, and his face became gentle.

Laifu looked at the blue-clothed scholar with a depressed face.

At this time, the blue-clothed scholar had already picked up the teacup and tasted tea, and no longer paid attention to them.

Laifu hesitated for a while, and then knew that the matter was irreparable, so he summoned the servants to carry the things out of the Lu family's mansion again.

In the backyard of the Lu family, in a small residence in an elegant and refined pavilion, Lu Wanru, the young lady of the Lu family, was staring at the side of the poem in her hand with burning eyes, frowning slightly, and staring. There was also a middle-aged scholar squatting in front of her, this person had a square face, long hair, and an extremely solemn expression staring at the Miss Lu family in front of him.

After a little silence, Lu Wanru slowly raised his head, his eyes swept over the face of the middle-aged scholar opposite, and then said in a faint tone: "If you talk about poetry, the students of Wujun here are already the current leaders, but their poems are focused on entertainment and praise, and they have a bit of a feeling of glamour..."

Speaking of this, she paused and said: "Lord Zhongzheng selects talents for the country, not just blindly slapping horses, if Lord Zhongzheng asks me for advice, then this is a foolish opinion..."

After speaking, she exchanged the poetry book in her hand again into the hands of the middle-aged scholar opposite, and rushed to give a deep salute, and was about to get up and leave.

At this time, the middle-aged scholar on the opposite side hurriedly blocked her way, and also returned the salute and said: "Miss Lu is really not the first talented woman in Jiangnan, and just a few words made Ying's mouth stop.... As Miss said, there is no doubt that this class of students can be called the talents of the world, but it is a pity that they are all addicted to Jiangnan Fenghua and the tone of praise of the prosperous era lacks some of the pillars of the country..."

Don't look at Zhongzhengguan as a scholar, but his real background is Jiangnan martial arts. Therefore, he still has a trace of martial arts in his bones.

Seeing this, Lu Wanru's suspicious gaze swept over Lord Zhongzheng's face, and she frowned lightly: "Don't you want your ancestors to catch them for you?" ”。

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly shook his head and explained, "How dare you.... Ying Yan is here, completely admiring Miss's literary talent, and wants Miss Lu to guide her."

Perhaps the middle-aged scribe's words were too straightforward, which made Lu Wanru feel a little vigilant, and her eyes instantly stared at him coldly.

The middle-aged scribe also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added, "Miss, don't misunderstand.... I have already married and had children.... The young lady's talent is purely admiration, and there is no blasphemy! ”

The middle-aged scribe's expression was sincere, especially when he looked at him, there was rarely a righteous spirit in that kind of literati, which also made Lu Wanru let down her guard.

She doted on the middle-aged scribe and said: "It is the little woman's luck to be appreciated by Lord Zhongzheng, but Lord Zhongzheng is an official errand, which is related to the future of the entire Wu County scholar, the little woman does not dare to speak without permission, and the little woman is just expressing a few opinions on the literature itself."

Lu Wanru still couldn't figure out the true intentions of the middle-aged scribe, so she wanted to prevaricate.

With her knowledge in a big mansion like the Gu family, even a stupid person knows a lot of officialdom calculations.

Besides, she is still the first talented woman in Jiangnan.

The middle-aged scribe showed a hint of guilt on his face and clenched his fists and said, "Ying Yan knows that it is a bit abrupt to come to the Lu family to visit this time, but Ying Yan is also helpless..."

"Why did Lord Zhongzheng say this?" Lu Wanru looked stunned.

The middle-aged scribe stroked his beard and muttered, "Do you know the origin of these scholars? ”

Lu Wanru once again fixed her gaze on the booklet, looking at the names that she had just ignored.

Underneath each poem is an author's note.

When she read the names of more than a dozen Wu Jun scholars in one breath, her expression suddenly became solemn.

"They've all brought their own heirs in?" Lu Wanru knew at least half of these people.

The middle-aged scribe nodded bitterly and said: "Just a thorough assessment, all the gate valve clans in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as those official eunuch families in the north, are targeted, if it comes to the day of real selection, they are bound to be even more rampant."

"If it were in normal times, I would follow their ideas and recommend them, but now the court has been controlled by the wealthy family, so that the court has the idea of recovering the northern country, but it is also a lack of skills, this time, Yinghe is entrusted by the king to come to Jiangnan to select talents, for the future king of light to restore the northern country for the purpose of reserving talents..."

Finally, the middle-aged scribe was still confided in his inner words, and Lu Wanru looked stunned in front of him, he was not shocked that the middle-aged scribe turned out to be the king's confidant, but shocked that he actually told himself such an important event in person.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Wanru twisted her eyebrows and said, "Lord Zhongzheng, why did you find a little girl?" ”

The middle-aged scribe's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he raised his head and stared at her eyes and said, "Because you and I belong to the same family."
