Chapter 20 The road is narrow

Jiao Huangzhong was surrounded by a group of eunuchs and walked up to the third floor of Mingchun Building, and when he was saying some meat words, a few familiar figures suddenly flashed in his eyes.

On the most prominent seats on the third floor, there were actually two people who gave him the most headaches, and these two people seemed to have a good conversation?

"Young master, the Lu family's waste is also there, something is wrong..."A servant beside him said close to his ear.

His eyes rolled in the burnt yellow, and his face was relaxed:

"The Lu family is the owner of this old street, and it is normal for him to come to Mingchun House to drink tea and listen to music."

"But..."

"It's nothing, but I don't believe that the person surnamed Lu is so capable that he will find out my plan first?"

"It's... What the young master said is that he doesn't have the ability to measure that waste, so he must be in a hurry. ”

The servant laughed again and again, and didn't dare to say anything more, after all, he was slapped by his master just now for talking too much, and he couldn't get into trouble again.

When the surrounding tea guests saw that the person who came was Jiao Huangzhong, the son of the second assistant of the cabinet, they all moved their seats in a playful manner, and after saluting Master Jiao flatteringly, they walked down the stairs one by one, with a panicked look on their faces.

"You know each other!"

After scorching Huang Zhong laughed fiercely, his eyes fell on the table of Lu Wenjing and Yang Shen, his mouth smacked, and his face flashed a trace of gloom.

Meanwhile.

On Lu Wenjing's side, housekeeper Liu Si frowned and said in a low voice:

"Young master, it's the guy in the scorched yellow... Are we exposed? ”

Lu Wenjing's expression was still calm:

"No, it won't. The surname Jiao has a strong self-confidence, and he doesn't believe that we will ambush people first. ”

"That's... In the young master's opinion? ”

"It's time to drink tea, it's time to listen to music."

"Yes, young master."

The two of them spoke in very small voices, as if they were deliberately avoiding Yang Shen, and this feeling of being excluded made Yang Dacai a little unhappy.

However, what made him even more unhappy was the few eunuchs who were swaggering over here.

Jiao Huangzhong and he are also old acquaintances, because their respective fathers are ministers in the same cabinet, so they naturally have to meet, although they deserve to die for this arrogant and vulgar Hanlin editor, they still have to get by on face, so they can only get up and give their hands and say hello:

"Jiao Bian Xiu is really good Yaxing, how can he have time to come to this Mingchun Building to listen to the play?"

"Hehe, it's a repair..."Jiao Huangzhong pretended to make a gesture, and also smiled, "Hanging out with a few colleagues from the Hanlin Academy, I happened to be thirsty, and I just passed by here..."

"Oh? In this way, all the brothers are adults of the Hanlin Academy, which is really rude. ”

Yang Shen's reputation in Beijing is very well-known, coupled with the relationship between his father Yang Tinghe, several young Hanlin officials did not dare to make a mistake, and they also came up to say hello, but this scene made Jiao Huang angry.

He's just a person in Yang Shen, and he hasn't entered the department yet, how many of you are rushing to get up?

A group of guys who eat inside and out, don't forget who let you into the Hanlin Academy?

Burnt yellow's face turned cold:

"How about you sit down and talk, I don't mind if you want to use Xiu, right?"

The Hanlin officials heard that his tone was not good, and they all wilted, and honestly shut up and stood to the side, this scene was even more disdainful in Yang Shen's eyes.

Jiao Huang had nowhere to spread the anger in his stomach, glanced at the plain-clothed boy sitting and drinking tea next to Yang Shen, and pretended to be surprised:

"Brother Lu? Are you here too? ”

Lu Wenjing stood up lazily and smiled:

"Lord Jiao still knows the grass people, it's really scary."

Yang Shen interjected:

"What's the matter, Brother Huai Zhen and Jiao Bian Xiu are old acquaintances?"

"It's not an old acquaintance, it's just some business dealings." Lu Wenjing responded.

Jiao Huang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, it's just a business relationship, it's a pity that Brother Lu refuses to cooperate, otherwise, the Lu family's business will definitely go to the next level."

"Let Master Jiao laugh, it's business, there is a risk. No one can say for sure, take the Lu family as an example, if you can't keep it all over tonight, the Lu family will face a big disaster, and a hundred years of hard work will be in vain? ”

Lu Wenjing's tone was calm, and his words were understated, as if he was joking, but he heard the scorched heart laughing ruthlessly.

The surname Lu, you guessed it well, Rishenglong was the first to finish, this is just a small lesson, if you don't follow, I will uproot the entire Lu family's industry one after another!

Thinking so, he said:

"The Lu family's century-old store, I'm afraid I also know the truth that those who know the times are handsome, and I believe that there will be a better choice soon."

Lu Wenjing didn't answer, only shook his head and smiled, and bowed his hand to Yang Shen:

"Since Brother Xiu and Master Jiao are good friends, you two must have some private things to talk about, so don't bother, let's go downstairs for tea."

The implication is that he is ready to leave the two of them behind and watch the play slowly in a place with clean ears.

Yang Shen's face gradually became ugly, obviously unwilling to have close contact with the surnamed Huang.

After giving Liu Si a look, Lu Wenjing was about to move, but was stopped by Yang Shen.

"Slow Brother Huaizhen, it just so happens that I also think... It's stuffy here, so let's go downstairs with you. ”

Lu Wenjing didn't think that he was so thick-skinned, like a dog skin plaster that he couldn't shake off, and it was not easy to refuse, but Yang Shen took the first step towards the stairs, and didn't even bother to look at Jiao Xiu.

"Wait for meβ€”" The little scholar called out and followed closely.

Liu Si asked:

"Master, let's go downstairs too?"

"Hmm." Lu Wenjing nodded, and turned to face Jiao Huangzhong, "Master Jiao, please." ”

"Hey..."

Jiao Huangzhong seemed to have something to say, but Lu Wenjing and Liu Si had already strode towards the stairs, and "Dengdengden" walked down, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Made, dare to ignore me?"

Jiao Huang couldn't help but shout angrily, and slammed his fist on the table, and several plates containing dried fruits and preserved fruits trembled slightly, and a lot of them were released, which seemed to complement his mood at this time.

"Brother Jiao, don't be angry, Yang Shen's kid has nothing to show for himself, relying on the support of his father Yang Ge Lao, he dares to make a mistake in front of you, and when he is nine thousand years old, he will do it to kill Yang Ge Lao's official, I believe that Yang Shen will not be able to jump for a few days."

"That's right, Elder Jiao Ge is now the second assistant of the cabinet, and the officials of the six departments are all nine thousand-year-old protΓ©gΓ©s, what does Yang Shen compare with you?"

The Hanlin officials were extremely flattering, and their faces gradually calmed down, and they picked up a preserved fruit that fell on the table and threw it into their mouths to chew.

"It's okay for Yang Shen to be disrespectful to me, Lu Wenjing, that bastard, now that he has no fame, he is just a grass people, and he dares to be so arrogant? He really doesn't think that money can make ghosts grind, right? ”

The attendant beside him flattered:

"That Lu Wenjing is extremely arrogant, making the young master unhappy, sooner or later there will be retribution..."

"Retribution?" Jiao Huangzhong immediately understood, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You're right, this retribution is coming soon, young master, I'm happy to see his Lu family unlucky!" ”

At this time, the young teaman standing on the side saw that several officials and masters were still not seated, so he wisely bowed down and said:

"A few adults, please take a seat, and the little ones will serve tea to the adults immediately..."

"Bang!"

The tea man was kicked to the ground by a scorched yellow kick, holding his stomach in a cold sweat, grinning in pain.

He didn't understand why he was beaten?

"Hmph, it's because you introduced me that I lost such a big face, you really damn it!"

"Young master, this teahouse smells of garlic, staying here will lose your identity, why don't we find a place to eat and drink?"

The attendant still understood the master's intentions, patted him on the shoulder in the scorched yellow, and smiled:

"Wine and women are indispensable."

"Don't worry, the slave is very familiar with the owner of a music shop, and the girl there is very smart..."

When the Hanlin officials heard that there were flowers and wine to eat, they all looked at each other and smiled.

"Okay, a few brothers will go to the music shop to play, but there is a word first, you can't stay overnight."

"The old rules, we all understand... Hey..."

After sipping at the tea man, Jiao Huang Zhong led everyone down the steps and walked out of the Mingchun Building.

The old street is still bustling, with small traders and vendors shouting endlessly, and the lanterns hanging from the shops are reflected in various colors of colored paper.

His eyes narrowed, staring at the storefront of Rishenglong, and muttered:

"The decline of the Lu family starts with you..."
