King Qin went to Jiangnan? Lu Zheng was shocked, he intuitively realized the crisis.
The current Jiangnan is completely different from a few months ago. The resources in Lu Zheng's hand are not the same as before. Because of this, he is very wary of King Qin's sudden arrival.
Because for Lu Zheng, everything at the moment is hard-won, especially now that the rural examination has just ended, Lu Zheng does not want the current Jiangnan to be sprawled due to the intervention of foreign forces.
"Check it out immediately, and take a look at the recent movements of the various yamen and families in Jinling. Don't let go of any clues, especially the Zhezi that went to the capital recently. There should be an archive on the Department of General Administration. You must take a closer look. !" Lu Zheng told the boy.
Lu Zheng took over the secret forces of the Lu family, and secretly took over the Gu family Wang Kai and his son. Jinling has almost no secrets to him. The boy has a strong army. As a professional, he has already begun to consider the layout of the capital.
The boy took the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said: "Zhong Fuming is with King Qin this time. This person is extremely treacherous and cunning. The last trip to the south of the Yangtze River seemed to be defeated at first glance, but he actually reaped great benefits. King Qin trusted him even more!"
The boy paused and said: "The king of Qin failed to lay out Jiangnan. In the eyes of the emperor, there is a piece of iron in the south of the Yangtze River. The needle cannot be inserted and the water cannot be splashed in. It is said that the emperor's impression of Jiangnan has become worse.
The Palace of the King of Qin received special favor from the emperor. Last year, King Qin was named the Prince of Five Pearls. Li Qianqian was wronged in Jiangnan. After returning to the capital, he became the famous oichi of Jiangnan Qinhuai River and Fan Duoduo. It's all over the place of fireworks in Beijing, and this year it has the title of No. 1 Oiran in Beijing! "
Lu Zheng raised his brows and said, "Is there anything else? Zhong Fuming, this person, has a deep and unpredictable scheming, amazing!"
Lu Zheng's mind turned, thinking of Li Qianqian's situation, he couldn't help but think of those stars in later generations. In a certain era, Chinese celebrities couldn't keep mixing in foreign countries, and when they returned to China, they became an international film star, and their value doubled.
The same is true for Li Qianqian. She was just an ordinary woman in the capital, but he came to Jiangnan to fight for an oiran. After returning to the capital, his value was different. He became the top oiran of Jiangnan and Fan Duoduo. Big sought after.
Looking at the affairs of King Qin, his failure in the south of the Yangtze River, at first glance, came back unfailingly, but in fact it won the hearts of the emperor and the court. If the King of Qin is going smoothly, his power will grow day by day, the emperor must guard against it.
From this point of view, the King of Qin is not as good as defeat to win. The good winner is more powerful, and the good loser is even more powerful. Zhong Fuming looked vulnerable and fell under the wind everywhere, but in just a few months, he had become a relatively estranged doorman from King Qin's hands and turned into King Qin's extremely valuable personal adviser. His methods and scheming were beyond common sense.
When the carriage arrived in Jiangning, the boy did not follow in after getting off the carriage, but disappeared into the darkness. Lu Zheng's forces have expanded greatly in the past few months, and the boy is too busy to touch the ground, but his enthusiasm has increased. He was excited when he heard the news that King Qin went to Jiangnan.
As Lu Zheng watched the boy's thin figure disappear, he suddenly thought of Master Yan, and even more of Liu Wan, the gentle woman who was considerate and gentle at all times. He didn't know how she was going.
Ying'er got down from Qi Qiuyue's carriage and walked to Lu Zheng's side. She saw that Lu Zheng's expression was a little wrong, and she leaned in and said softly, "Master, the housekeeper Hong has personally received the door!"
Lu Zheng nodded lightly, and suddenly stretched out his hand, holding Ying'er in his arms.
"Ah..." Ying'er was startled by Lu Zheng's sudden movements. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but she couldn't exert her strength. She smelled the familiar smell of Lu Zheng, and she was limp.
"My son, you..."
Lu Zheng gave her a hug, then let go, and said with a smile: "Ying'er, it's so beautiful today!"
Ying'er's face was flushed, and there was endless excitement between her eyebrows. Lu Zheng praised her for being beautiful, and she was so happy in her heart! She had regarded herself as Lu Zheng's person for a long time, but on this occasion, broad daylight, brilliant nature, such intimacy made her too shy, but the excitement in her heart could not be contained.
When Qi Qiuyue saw this scene from a distance, her mouth was full of joy. Lu Zheng now has a great success in fame, and her status in the Lu family has also increased. In the second room, she can almost keep pace with Mrs.
No worries about food, clothes, and money. All she has left for the rest of her life is to enjoy happiness. But Qi Qiuyue has one more thought left, that is, she wants to hug her grandson!
She couldn't talk about Lu Zheng's marriage, let alone him, even Lu Qian might not be the master. But before Lu Zheng was married, he could take a few concubine rooms first. Ying'er, a girl from a big family, not only had a beautiful life, but also knew etiquette and general knowledge. Qi Qiuyue liked it in her heart.
How could Qi Qiuyue be unhappy now that Lu Zheng has finally regained his senses, and the two are so close?
The family entered through the gate of Lu's house, and Hong Shen, the housekeeper, respectfully greeted him in a respectful manner. The housekeeper, Hong Quan, is gone, and Hong Shen still can't stand up to it. He is still waiting on the second room!
"Master Zheng, the second master has already been waiting for you in the study! There are still some scenes in the banquet, should we go to the second master first?" Hong Shen said very trivially.
When Lu Zheng was in Yangzhou, Hong Shen went to Yangzhou to pick up people. At that time, the arrogant, high-pitched posture seemed to be yesterday. The current Hong Shen is cautious. Where is the previous look?
Of course, Lu Zheng in Yangzhou, under the fence, is in a difficult and precarious situation. How can he compare with the present? Now Lu Zheng has more resources than the Lu family. Liuhe’s business makes hundreds of thousands of taels a year in profit. It requires money, money, force and force, status and status. Hong Shen will always be a slave in front of him. Qualifications.
Going to see Lu Qian Lu Zheng had a hundred unwillingness in his heart, but after all, it was a father-son relationship. The scientific expedition had just ended, and his father wanted to summon him. He had no reason to refuse.
Immediately, Lu Zheng followed Hong Shen and went straight to Lu Qian's study. Lu Qian stood at the grill window of the study, with Ximen Ye behind him. The two looked forward side by side, and suddenly Ximen said:
"Here, here comes! Young Master Zheng is finally here, sir..."
Ximenye was very excited, he only had to dance with his hands, but when he looked up at Lu Qian's gloomy expression, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly suppressed the excitement on his face, but he secretly shook his head in his heart: "Second Lord is pedantic. In the situation, it is clear that he asks Lu Zheng, but he has to lose face and has to show his father's majesty. Why bother?
Father is kind and filial, what's wrong with it? You have to keep your face straight and hold your head high. Isn't that a matter of life and suffering? "
Lu Qian returned to the study seat with a serious expression. Lu Zheng followed Hong Shen in, walked slowly in front of Lu Qian, kneeled and saluted, and said, "My child please greet my father!"
"Get up! The other brothers are back. You will be the last one. Jiangning is your home. Even if you go to the capital in the future, this will not change, you know?" Lu Qian said.
Lu Zheng bowed his head and did not speak. The so-called words were not speculative. Lu Zheng didn't have much affection for this cheap father, and he didn't have a good impression. In his opinion, Lu Qian was a typical feudal stubborn representative, acting everywhere. The rules of etiquette must be set.
He didn't care about the family affairs at all, the back house was a mess, the children were a mess, Mrs. Zhang made the house smoggy, he didn't even ask, and he kept thinking about how to transfer his skills to the emperor's house all day long.
However, his ability is really ordinary. The so-called ambition and lack of talent probably refer to people like Lu Qian. Listening to him, he was eloquent, and seemed to have a thousand words, but when he was really acting, he didn't actually have a strategy in his mind.
Lu Zheng stopped speaking, and the atmosphere in the room became awkward. Lu Qian frowned, and his heart was angry again. When Ximenye saw that the formation was wrong, he hurriedly said:
"President Zheng, this time the test will definitely end. If you can get the answer, then you have to pass on the story of Jinling! Many outstanding Jiangnan, you are headed by you, Master, I am really happy in my heart!"
Lu Zheng glanced at Ximen Ye, and said faintly: "Mr. Ximen passed the prize!"
Lu Qian said next to him: "The scientific expedition has just ended, and the outcome is still inconclusive. It is not good to talk too much now. You have been a little low-key during this period of time. It is best not to go out..."
"Also, even though you have taken the exam, you can't relax in your studies. There are still examinations and hall exams. The so-called mountain is higher than a mountain, and strong middle players are more powerful players. Don't be arrogant and complacent!"
Lu Zheng stopped talking again, lowered his head and was silent. Lu Qian snorted coldly, as if he could not bear it. Ximen said wildly, "Okay, Master Zheng has worked hard in the exam. Master let you make the old soup for you, come here, give it to Master Zheng. Serve the soup!"
The maid brought the steaming old hot soup. Lu Zheng took a sip while it was hot. It felt good. He pondered for a moment and said, "Jiangnan has many variables at the moment. I just got the news today that His Royal Highness Qin made it personally. Jiangnan is now, I'm afraid that Jiangnan will be uneasy again next time!"
"Ah..." Lu Qian and Ximenye exclaimed at the same time and looked at each other. Neither of them knew the news. Lu Zheng was obviously more informed than them!
Right now, Nie Yong has basically confirmed that he will return to Beijing. The prince gave him an **** at the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history. After Nie Yong broke with Dai Xiang, he returned to the capital after five years, which is a comeback. .
Originally, Lu Zheng felt that since Nie Yong had been working underneath for so many years, he would simply start from the bottom up and lay a solid foundation. However, Nie Yong's consciousness was very firm, and Lu Zheng would not persuade him anymore?
In addition, Nie Yong is getting closer and closer to the prince. Lu Zheng is also very worried. However, everyone has their own ambitions. After all, Nie Yong is Lu Zheng’s teacher. His firm choice of Lu Zheng can’t control him. He can only hope that Nie Yong once again enters Beijing to be able to go smoothly and rise step by step...
