The relationship between the Gu family and the Lu family over the years is very delicate. The two belong to the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are very close to each other. Nervous!
Today Gu Tianyang was able to condescend to come to the Lu family in person, on the one hand because the Gu family is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis and needs to find the Lu family to keep warm.
On the other hand, I have to talk about Lu Zheng, the big trouble the Gu family is facing right now, and Lu Zheng must be able to get out of the siege. Don't underestimate the Oiran Contest. The victory of the Oiran Contest is only superficial. It is secretly related to the status of the Gu family in Jiangnan. This is what the major forces are most concerned about.
If Biyun Pavilion loses this time, the Gu family's influence in Jinling will be further weakened. It won't be long before Jiangnan will no longer have power.
Because of this, the Gu family absolutely cannot allow the Oiran Contest to fail this time. This is also the reason that Gu Tianyang came to the Lu family himself. At this time, the Gu family needs the Lu family's help, to be precise, it needs the help of Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng is currently in the limelight in the Qinhuai River. No one can match him. If Lu Zheng can support Fan Duoduo, Fan Duoduo's odds of winning can reach 80%. If Lu Zheng does not stand by Fan Duoduo's side, Fan Duoduo Duo's chances of winning are not enough, and this is the weight that a young man like Lu Zheng now occupies.
Lu Shanchang knows Gu Tianyang's mind well, but how can an old fox like him easily express his opinions? It is a trend for the Gu family and the Lu family to hug each other for warmth, but the interests of the Lu family cannot be ignored.
Since the Gu family came here this time, what can Lu Shanchang do if he doesn't make a profit? Gu Tianyang naturally understood Lu Shan's thoughts, and he immediately promised that the Gu family on Qiuwei would do a good job of coordinating, and in any case, the Xieyuan of next year's Qiuwei would not fall outside the Jiangnan four.
The Gu family has been operating in Jiangnan for many years, and its heritage and roots are much deeper than those of the Lu family. Gu Tianyang also served as a bookkeeper, and Gu Tiansheng served in the six branches of the capital. Almost half of the officials in the various branches of the Southern court were students of the Gu family!
Under such a background, with the Gu family taking action, Lu Zheng's own talents and learning are absolutely no problem, and Lu Zheng does not need to worry too much about the affairs of the autumn next year.
"Zheng'er, the Oiran Tournament is held once a year, and it is a rare opportunity! This time the Oiran Tournament Biyun Pavilion is the home court, and all arrangements are under the control of the Gu family.
Just now, Grandpa Gu said, give you a room for the best VIPs, and you will have a room by yourself. This is the same treatment as Prince Pu! Your grandfather and my old man can't enjoy such a privilege, don't you thank Grandpa Gu? "Lu Shanchang said with a smile.
Lu Zheng quickly thanked Gu Tianyang again. Gu Tianyang helped him up and said, "Brother Zheng, a gifted man and a beautiful woman. If Girl Duo Duo is lucky enough to win the first prize this time, this girl will be able to..."
After Gu Tianyang was half talking, Lu Shanchang laughed dryly and said: "Brother Tianyang, Zhenger is still a young man. We should focus on studies. How can our elders encourage him to be greedy for pleasure?
Zheng'er, Grandpa Gu has given you a chance. You can enjoy it to your heart's content. You are an opinionated person. You make your own decisions. Grandpa and Grandpa Gu will not interfere with you, okay? "
When Lu Shanchang said this, Gu Tianyang was taken aback. His lips twitched to say something. Lu Shanchang frowned. After all, Gu Tianyang didn't speak. He couldn't help but call Lu Shanchang an old fox in his heart. He really deliberately refused to let Gu Tianyang. Peace of mind!
Lu Zheng's expression was still calm. He bowed to Lu Shanchang respectfully, saying: "Grandfather, my grandson came to Jiangning today mainly because of my uncle's wedding. The wedding was over. Grandson thought about the heavy work, so he wanted to get back sooner. Liuhe, grandfather, you..."
"Zheng'er, what else do you need to say about these trivial things? I will tell you clearly today that you will do whatever you want in the future. Grandfather will support you.
There are some people in the Lu family that you don't want to see, so you don't need to see. You don't need to care about any rules, even if there are great rules here, you can get rid of them.
Go, study hard, next year, Qiuwei grandfather will be waiting to see your title on the gold list! Haha..."
Lu Shanchang laughed and opened his arms. Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. For a while, his affection for Lu Shanchang greatly increased. He originally thought that he would not be able to get out so easily when he came to Jiangning this time. Things are getting complicated.
...
In the Lu family, in the second room, Lu Qian smashed all the pen and inkstone on the table in the study, smashing all over the floor.
"Does this unruly thing still have my father in his eyes? Is there still this home? The door of his Lu family is the vegetable garden door. Come if you want to, or leave if you want to leave?" Lu Qian's anger was in his heart. , Can be said to be angry.
In order for Lu Zheng to return home this time, Lu Qian took a three-day break and had gathered a group of customers to make careful preparations. Lu Qian wanted to seize this opportunity to do two things.
The first thing is to try to ease the relationship between him and Lu Zheng, and the second thing is that he hopes that Lu Zheng can contribute a little bit to the Lu family. For example, Lu Family's painting boat Tianshui Pavilion, this time I also want to fight!
Qinhuai River’s current situation is chaotic. Since the Mirage Pavilion is no longer reconciled to the second place, what does it matter that Shui Pavilion was a bit ambition that day?
Even if Tianshui Pavilion has no ambitions, there are still a few painting boats on the front of Tianshui, ready to replace Tianshui Pavilion. If Tianshui Pavilion does not act this time, it may fall into the rankings. This is for Lu Qian It is almost an unbearable loss.
I have to say that Lu Zheng is so hot now that even His Royal Highness Pu condescends to entertain him. It is not an exaggeration to say that if Lu Zheng is the second most popular guest in Qinhuai River girls’ boudoir, no one dares. Ranked first.
Lu Qian had already thought about it. As long as Lu Zheng nodded, this time Tianshui Pavilion could not only maintain its position, but also take it to the next level. Once that happens, Lu Qian will finally have some decent results for the old man to see!
However, Lu Qian never expected that Lu Zheng would be cut off by Old Ghost Hong directly after returning to the Lu family. After going around in the old man’s yard, he rode straight away in a carriage, left Jiangning, and ran straight. Liuhe County is gone.
When Lu Zheng returned home, he didn't ask his parents for peace. He turned around and left. Lu Qian couldn't bear it...
"Second Lord, don't be angry, the old lady said, in the future, Brother Zheng can do whatever he wants in the Lu family, and do whatever he wants, regardless of any relationship or rules.
The second master must set the rules, and the old lady has avoided all the rules of Brother Zheng. Second master, tell me, this is really going to cause trouble. What kind of rules should we follow in the Lu family? "
Hong Quan crouched back, his voice was low and hoarse, but every word fell into Lu Qian's ears, and he added fuel to the fire.
"Old thing, you old thing, I..."
A weird smile appeared on Hong Quan’s face, and said: "Second Lord, do you mean that I am an old thing, or the grandfather is an old thing? The rules are set by the old man, or the second man, you follow me to the old man’s study. Ask yourself?"
Lu Qian was speechless and speechless. He was shaking with anger, but he dared not vent it.
Lu Zheng didn't put him in his eyes, would he dare not put Lu Shanchang in his eyes? In the Lu family, Lu Shan is the sky, and what he said has nothing to do with him. With the weight of Lu Qian now, how can he compare with his father?
Watching Hong Quan leave leisurely, Lu Qian wanted to throw everything in the house clean. Seeing this, Ximenye approached him and said, "Master, you don't need to be angry. Since the old man has established this rule, it means Brother Zheng. Now the favor of the old lady has risen to the extreme.
Do you think about it? No matter how powerful and talented Brother Zheng is, he will be your son after all. This will never change. The old lady spoils him, and the status of the second room will be further stabilized and climbed. This is a great thing!
Master, you can't guess with common sense, let alone measure with routines, for Brother Zheng, why should you be angry? "
Ximen Ye tried to persuade him, Lu Qian's mood eased slightly, and Ximen Ye said, "As for painting a boat, isn't there still Young Master Jun?
Young Master Jun will go to Brother Zheng, they are brothers, can't you say anything? As far as I can see, this child, Zheng, is cold outside and hot inside. On the surface, he is not close to humanity. In fact, he cares most about family affection.
Look at Qi Biao's marriage this time. What is this? But brother Zheng came to have a wedding drink in person. Master, Qi Biao and brother Zheng have been in Yangzhou for more than a year and saved his life. Brother Zheng is grateful to Dade! "
Ximenye is best at these routines. This is the reason why he is particularly highly regarded by Lu Qian. Lu Qian's anger here is a bit restrained, and there is a commotion at the back house Mrs. Zhang's side.
Mrs. Zhang was so upset that she was crying and hanging herself. When it comes to the reason, she was really frustrated during this period of time. Qi Qiuyue is still fine now, and Qi Biao became a relative, and it was Lu Qian who came to be a matchmaker in person. This is to lift the Qi family to the sky!
Qi Qiuyue was favored, and she had more money to spend. The aunts in the backyard were all pulled over by Qi Qiuyue, and Mrs. Zhang was ruined in the back house.
And today, when Lu Zheng's rebellious son returned to the Lu family, she didn't invite her aunt, so she walked straight away. The more she thought about it, the more angry she was, and she really put on a posture to hang herself.
The wife is going to hang herself. There was a chaos in the second room, and everyone who knew the inside story secretly squeezed a cold sweat for Qi Qiuyue's mother and her son, and someone secretly blamed Lu Zheng for doing too much.
Lu Zheng said that he shouldn't put such a statement in Madam Zhang's hands. Madam Zhang finally waited for this opportunity to counterattack. How could she not do the trick?
Everyone in the second room was mobilized. For a while, the maids and servants in the entire yard were highly nervous. Finally, everyone waited until the second master came.
Mrs. Zhang was crying in the main hall, posing for a hang-up posture, but she was going to set off a wave of climax!
Lu Qian walked in and said coldly, "Do you feel wronged? Zheng'er didn't even ask for peace from my aunt, do I have to hang myself like you? It's really fake, full of ugliness, and won't let me down. , Other irrelevant people, all get out of me!"
"Huh!" Everyone broke up in a rush, and the ups and downs of the second room were even more shocked...
