Chapter 308： Here comes the bad news!

The Lu family was very lively today. At the gate, guests from all walks of life greeted each other. This kind of grand occasion has not passed for many years.

Ruan Jingnian is the official book of the household department, and he wears a second-grade black hat on his head. It is one grade higher than Lu Shanchang. Lu Shan has a long life. He came personally. This can be said to give Lu Shan a lot of face.

Gu Tianyang of the Gu family is also a second-grade official, and today he personally came to congratulate Lu Shan on his long life. Such a gathering of powerful and powerful people is not easy for the current Lu family.

Lu Shan smiled and greeted him, but he sneered secretly in his heart.

If Jiangnan Power has always been in the same spirit, these years will not be reduced to the present situation. The defeat of Jiangnan was defeated in the internal conflict. Emperor Xiandi was a master of continuity and continuity. By instigating the contradictions among the major families in Jiangnan, he let everyone fight inwardly, and then regained the profit of the fishermen. As a result, the Jiangnan power lords were devastated. The prince’s son came to Jiangnan and almost trampled on the first Gu family in Jiangnan.

This is the case, whether the current situation is facing the Gu family or the Ruan family, they are polite to the Lu family on the surface, but in fact they are extremely wary of the re-emergence of the Lu family! It is estimated that Ruan Jingnian and Gu Tianyang are here today with ulterior motives!

Lu Shan's Great Wall Mansion is very deep, but at this time, there is always a strong anxiety in his heart. He even regretted holding a birthday banquet this time.

Speaking of it, the Lu family was too anxious, too anxious to rise, and this was especially true of Lu Qian. Lu Shanchang commented on his second son in only four words: Zhida is talented. There are many stories behind Lu Jun's accident in Yingtian, and many problems have been exposed.

The intrigue within the Jiangnan Power Clan is one aspect. The long-term decline within the Lu family has long been rotten, and there is no one under Lu Shanchang to use, which is especially fatal.

If Lu Jun is gone, he can’t hurt the Lu family too much, but if Lu Zheng is implicated because of Lu Jun’s affairs, Lu Shanchang has spent so much of the Lu family seedlings cultivated and destroyed once, what hope does the Lu family have in the future? ?

From the Zhang family's side, he was not able to enter until the end, and Zhang Chengxi respectfully leaned forward and said to the younger generation: "Lu Shibo, the younger Chengxi congratulated Shibo on his birthday!"

Lu Shanchang hurriedly walked to Zhang Chengxi, held Zhang Chengxi’s arm with both hands, and said, "Chengxi, just come here, just come here. I’ve heard about you, saying that it’s making up for the county magistrate’s vacancy. This is great!

It is a great honor for young people to shepherd the people on behalf of the emperor, and it is also an unprecedented opportunity. You must take good advantage of it! "

Zhang Chengxi didn't expect Lu Shanchang to be so enthusiastic, and he was flattered for a while, and was so excited that he was incoherent. To be honest, when he saw the Lu Family Shou Banquet scenes today, he felt very ashamed. He felt that he was also a powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River. The Zhang family and Jinling were not on the same level at all!

With this kind of mentality, he could be treated with such enthusiasm by Lu Shanchang, and his mood can be imagined. Lu Shanchang said again: "This time you come to Jiangning, you must not rush away. You must live for a while!"

"I heard that your child Haoran did well in learning, and he lived in Jiangning when he turned his head. The academy in Jinling is still better than Yangzhou. Haoran was awarded a talented scholar and lives in Jiangning, and he will definitely be able to pass the exam in the future..."

Zhang Chengxi quickly called Zhang Haoran to give a salute to Lu Shanchang. Lu Shanchang admired Zhang Haoran very much and praised him fiercely. Everyone in the Zhang family was in a good mood.

Lu Shanchang is a third-rank high official, and his status is the same as that of the Zhang Family's grandfather. Such an existence would never be accessible to them in Yangzhou.

Now that Shanchang Lu is so enthusiastic about the Zhang family, everyone feels that there is a face! They couldn’t understand Lu Shanchang’s feelings at this time. In Lu Shanchang’s heart, he was bored with the hypocrisy of Ruan and Gu’s families, and Zhang’s and Lu’s were relatives, and Zhang’s family was more complete than Lu’s. Not on one level.

Everyone wanted to read Lu's jokes, but Zhang's would never be like that, so Lu Shanchang said a few more words to them. As for complimenting Zhang Haoran, it was because Lu Jun had just had an accident. He hoped that Zhang Haoran could stay in the Lu family, so that Mrs. Zhang could also think about it more, so that there would be less noise in the second room.

The guests from the Zhang family arrived, and the guests were almost there. Today, the Lu family’s banquet was held in the Qiancao Garden. The Qiancao Garden had a high platform, and all the distinguished guests sat on the high platform one after another.

Only Zhang Chengxi in the Zhang family can have a place on the high platform, and the other people are arranged in the loose seats below.

On the right side of the big banquet is the place where the female family members dine. At this time, the old lady of the Lu family has already led many female family members to the table. Madam Zhang looked haggard, Hua Hanyun supported her, followed by a group of maids and servants, all nervous and cautious, walking on thin ice.

Lu Qian did not greet guests at the door today. At the VIP table, he enthusiastically approached Zhang Chengxi to speak. From his face, there was not much pain of bereavement, but between his brows, there was no way to hide it. Live the endless haze.

Zhang Chengxi pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother-in-law, I have heard about Brother Jun. Life and death are destined, wealth is in heaven, and many things cannot be forced!

But there is one thing. Brother Jun shouldn't go to Liuhe, brother-in-law, don't forget Brother Zheng's misunderstanding of grandma! "

Lu Qian raised his brows and said: "Lu Zheng, the rebellious son, I will definitely not forgive him when I look back! If he can't give an explanation on this matter, I...I...I..."

He said three of me in a row, and a laugh came from behind him, saying, "Brother Lu Qian, don't come here unharmed! You and I haven't seen each other for several years. Tsk, tusk, man is now the imperial court commander. It’s a rare opportunity to meet you!"

Lu Qian turned his head and saw that the person who was speaking was Gu Shenghai, the old fourth of the Gu family. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Shenghai, you can just talk about Shengfen. Are you and my brothers still so different? "

Gu Shenghai laughed loudly and said, "I don't see the outside, never see you outside, you and my brother must have a drink, okay?"

At the banquet, there was a mess, everyone was whispering and chatting. In fact, today’s banquet is not only a birthday banquet, but also a place for everyone to call friends and friends. Many people who are not commonplace are gathered on this occasion today. Naturally, everyone will get what they need.

It's just that the people below are chatting very lively. Today, the three big bosses, Lu Shanchang, Ruan Jingnian, and Gu Tianyang are all sitting in the chair of the teacher, and they have no communication with each other.

Gu Tianyang seemed to be in a bad spirit. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had completely fallen asleep.

Ruan Jingnian stared at the small pieces of jade in his hand and admired it repeatedly, as if there was a huge world hidden in that small piece of Hetian jade.

Lu Shanchang's heart became more and more disturbed. Hong Quan didn't know when he got behind him. He stood up and said, "What's the matter? Hasn't it come yet?"

Hong Quan shook his head and said: "No news yet!"

Lu Shanchang stood up suddenly, Gu Tianyang suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Elder Shan, what are you going to do?"

Lu Shanchang glanced at Gu Tianyang, his eyes flashed, and in the end he didn't move. He just said: "I am too old and sitting for a long time. I am worried that I am sitting and falling asleep like Brother Gu. The banquet is going to make a fool of yourself!"

Gu Tianyang laughed and said, "My brother Shan has a big birthday today. This is a big happy event. I will wait for such a happy event to congratulate him. I just hope that my brother will live longer than Nanshan and be blessed in the East China Sea!

I don't know, why is this banquet not open right now? Could it be that my brother still has guests yet to arrive? "

Lu Shanchang frowned slightly. The reason why the banquet was not open was because Lu Zheng hadn't arrived yet! Lu Shanchang is very disturbed, but can you tell me this?

After all, Lu Zheng is just a junior, a small junior. What qualifications do seniors have to wait for him?

The scene was embarrassing, and Lu Shanchang didn't know how to say it for a while. Just at this moment, behind Gu Tianyang, a thin and dry old man in black appeared ghostly. The old man lowered his head and said a few words in Gu Tianyang's ear.

Gu Tianyang was stunned for a moment, his eyes brightened for an instant, and then he quickly converged to return to normal. He laughed and said, "Brother Lu, I am joking with you! I will wait for the guests, haha!"

Gu Tianyang laughed and laughed extremely strangely. At this moment, Hong Quan, who had just left, staggered and ran over like an old dog.

Judging from his appearance, he was really tired like a bereaved dog, and his old face now looks more like ten years old.

When Lu Shanchang saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened, his eyes widened, and he almost blurted out.

Hong Quan had already got close to him at this time, lowered his voice and said: "Old...old...madam...too...my grandfather, brother Zheng...something happened. There was an attack on the banks of the Qinhuai River, no more! I'm gone! ……me……"

As steady as Hong Quan, he was already confused at this time. Only he knew what the news meant. This meant that the Lu Family was finished, and completely finished!

He Hongquan prides himself on controlling the hidden power of the Lu Family, thinking that everything is under control. In fact, others have already counted him among them, this time it was a disastrous defeat for him! !

Lu Shanchang didn't want to listen to Hong Quan's words anymore. His whole expression was completely frozen. His eyes swept across the banquet scene. Today's banquet was so lively and bustling, but all he saw in his eyes was gloomy.

The anger in his chest could not be restrained. He had a strong impulse, that is, he immediately rushed to Gu Tianyang, and the two old men died at the same time, and everything was clean after death!

The entire VIP platform gradually became quiet, because the news spread quickly, and soon everyone on the VIP platform knew what had happened. The Qinhuai River was so big that it could not be covered at all. Every family had errands. The minions, at this time, have passed the news one after another!

"Your Majesty Pu is here!" A sharp voice suddenly sounded at the door, and the whole audience shook...
