Things in the capital were basically handled. For Lu Zheng, the process was tortuous and the ending was not bad. In this case, he could get a good result. In addition to his own efforts, Lu Zheng must also be grateful for the gift of opportunity.
Nie Yong is here again. This time his attitude has eased a lot. He is not talking with Lu Zheng about the Prince's family, just saying:
"Brother Zheng, it is a thousand miles away to Longyou, and the north is not as good as the south. The life is bad, the bitter cold and arid, you have to take care of your health!"
Lu Zheng said: "Thank you, Master Nie, don't worry, I am not so delicate. This time I went to Longyou, and it was the grace of the Meng emperor. I was going to do errands. As long as the errands are done well, it doesn't hurt to be a little tired!
"Yes, yes! Indeed!" Nie Yong nodded repeatedly to agree with Lu Zheng's words. At this moment, the envy of Lu Zheng in his heart can be said to be beyond words.
He remembered the situation when he offended Dai Gao five years ago. At that time, he was inferior to death. In the entire capital, he had nowhere to go. His dignified two-ranked scholars were as exhausting as a bereavement dog!
Now Lu Zheng also offends Dai Gao, but the scenery is boundless. Even if he goes to places like Longyou, everyone feels that Lu Zheng has a bright future in the future. Before Nie Yong came this time, the prince was instructed to treat Lu Zheng well and deepen the friendship between the two of them as masters and disciples.
In addition to Nie Yong, King Qin also queued up a steward to come over. This steward gave Lu Zheng five hundred taels of silver, and there were also ready-made cloths. These were all rewards from the King Qin to Lu Zheng.
The day before, Lu Zheng was still the object of others falling into trouble. After one night, Lu Zheng became the steamed bun for everyone to chase.
Except for Nie Yong, Lu Zheng didn't see anyone else. Lu Lun would go to meet and deal with him. He himself was in the backyard preparing to pack his clothes, and he would leave Beijing soon.
Ying'er has been busy for many days, this heartless girl, she heard that she was going to Longyou, not only did she not panic, but was happy. According to her idea, there were three big cars walking around with her luggage, Lu Zheng was nothing short of it. Dumbfounding.
Later, Mrs. Zhang understood the truth and came to make arrangements in person. After some compression, Lu Zheng still had a large car to bring to the salute that he had to bring on this trip!
A big car salutes, plus Ying'er and Nie Xiaonu's two beautiful girls accompanied. The boy Lu Zheng stayed in the capital. The rest of the staff are the master guards arranged by the boy. These people will always keep Lu Zheng. Escort to the destination.
Nie Xiaonu came back to serve Lu Zheng, naturally because of the master's instruction. Of course, she herself did not resist this errand, but was very happy in her heart.
She is a girl after all, her nature is still there, and Ying'er gets along with her in a harmonious relationship, allowing her to see the world beyond the sword. Of course, the young girl's spring heart sprouts, and the fact that she has a great affection for Lu Zheng can not be erased. All this trip to Longyou is a joyous event for the two girls!
For Lu Zheng, there was another person he had to visit, and that person was Zhang Chengdong.
Zhang Chengdong is different from Zhang Rong. In Lu Zheng's eyes, Zhang Chengdong's heart and strength are incomparable to other members of the Zhang family. Although he is only a merchant and has no fame, the Zhang family is supported by him alone.
Since Lu Zheng's accident, Zhang Chengdong hasn't appeared again. Obviously, he can't do things that have fallen into trouble.
The kindness of dripping water, when Yongquan reported, if Lu Zheng in Yangzhou were not recommended by Zhang Chengdong, he would not have the opportunity to meet Lao Yan, nor could he have the opportunity to enroll in the school, and thus get acquainted with Master Luo and others. Lu Zheng can quickly rise in Yangzhou, Zhang Chengdong's help cannot be ignored.
Zhang Chengdong did not live in Zhangzhai in the capital most of the time, but lived in a business, and it was very convenient for Lu Zheng to see him.
"Uncle, the business of your company is getting bigger and bigger. If it weren't for the fact that the Dakang Dynasty discourages doing business, I would like to open a business like you, free and easy, without food, clothing, and traveling. Quartet, how good are these days?" Lu Zheng said with a grin.
Zhang Chengdong smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, don't you want to travel around as an official now? How much do you know about Longyou? Don't you know Longyou better than Jiangnan?"
Lu Zheng said, "Of course, Longyou is in the northwest. The land there is barren and the population is sparse. How can it compare to the land of fish and rice like Jiangnan?"
Zhang Chengdong shook his head and said, "Born born and raised by the land, for ordinary people, they have their own way of survival wherever they are born. This is not worth mentioning.
What I want to say is that Longyou is the Longyou of the imperial court, but not the Longyou of the imperial court. Do you know that? There are mainly two great families in Longyou area, namely the Song family and the Qi family. The officials at all levels in Longyou belong to the imperial court, but that area belongs to these two families.
As an official in Longyou, you must not only maintain the relationship with the court, but also maintain the relationship with Song and Qi. Do you know this? "
Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, a look of ashamed appeared on his face, and said, "Uncle, I'm really ashamed. Recently, I'm concerned about things in the capital city, and I haven't paid much attention to the affairs of Longyou."
What you said made me horrified. From now on, I have to change my role. Right now, I am a seventh-rank official in Longyou. "
Zhang Chengdong said: "When you go to Longyou, Dai Gao will definitely not give up. As long as he gives the Song and Qi families a little instruction, you will probably not have a better life there. So now you must plan ahead and think about it. The countermeasure is to make everything in advance, and if you don’t, think of a solution as soon as possible, so as to save yourself from embracing the Buddha's feet."
"Yes, uncle, don't worry, since I dared to go to Longyou, I am certainly not completely bottomless. Although Dai Gao is powerful, he and the forces in Longyou are not in harmony.
I believe that with my own ability, I will be able to deal with these difficulties. Two years later, I will return to the capital again, and I will definitely gain a lot! "Lu Zheng said seriously, he was extremely confident in what he said.
Zhang Chengdong nodded softly and said, "Although my uncle is incompetent these years, according to your opinion, he is still a bit pioneering in business. Our Zhang family's business has reached Longyou, and we have our business in Liangzhou Prefecture. I'll give you a jade charm. With this thing, you can let Zhang's Liangzhou business company follow your instructions when it is critical, and you can call the resources over there at will."
After Zhang Chengdong finished speaking, he handed Lu Zheng a small jade talisman. The jade talisman was inconspicuous, very shabby, and not very good in quality. Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and he took the jade talisman in his hand, and he could feel the weight of this thing.
Zhang Chengdong said it lightly. Just imagine how much the Zhang family paid to start business in Liangzhou? This piece of jade pendant is equivalent to giving Lu Zheng the huge business in Liangzhou. This gift is very heavy.
But Lu Zheng did not refuse. The things Zhang Chengdong gave were all that Lu Zheng could use. Lu Zheng's trip was not easy. Since Lu Zheng had already received Zhang Chengdong's favor, he wouldn't mind accepting it again.
Zhang Chengdong smiled lightly and sighed secretly in his heart. There is Lu Zheng in the Lu family, and there is great hope in the family. Lu Zheng is not only an outstanding student, a first-class talent, but his chances and luck are also extraordinary, which is really enviable!
Looking back at the Zhang family, the generation of the Zhang family has declined from generation to generation. Originally in the generation of Zhang Chengdong, the brothers were still a little bit talented, but they happened to encounter the Emperor Xian's action against the Jiangnan power sect. They didn't have a career because of their origins.
When it comes to their next generation, where is there any talent in Zhang Haoran's generation? The decline of the Zhang family has been unstoppable, and there is no chance to reverse it. I have to say that this is a great sadness.
Zhang Chengdong suddenly thought of a verse written by Lu Zheng: "The success or failure turned around, the past and the present are all in the middle of laughter..." Life is short, like a white horse passing a gap, and the rest of the world belongs to young people.
Lu Zheng said goodbye to Zhang Chengdong, the only one he missed was one person. But at this time, he couldn't meet him. He asked the boy to drive to the door of Xiangfu, and went around the Xiangfu for a week. After all, he didn’t have the courage to go there. Post, he returned to the Lu's home unhappily.
...
Xiangfu, Dai Gao is off today. He spends most of his time in the small study as usual.
Dai Gao loves to read and likes to study. He has a large collection of books at home. Although he is busy with government affairs, he has never been delayed in studying.
After reading for a whole day, Song Fuer waited outside for a day, serving tea and water, snacks at noon, and asking for warmth. Song Fuer paid attention to every detail and was considerate.
It was not these things that affected Song Fu'er's mood, but the constant news coming from outside, all bad news. How could Song Fu'er talk to Dai Gao if it was bad!
When he was eating dinner, Song Fu'er couldn't hold back, and said, "Master, at noon today, Lu Zheng Xiaoer went out of the front door, and then went directly to the northwest. It should be a post in Longyou."
"Well!"
Dai Gao snorted softly, without comment, he still bowed his head to eat, Song Fu'er couldn't understand the master's intention, and there was no bottom in his heart.
"Any other things?" Dai Gao said.
Song Fu'er swallowed, her expression a little nervous, and said: "Also, that...haha, you said that this kid surnamed Lu is ridiculous, he actually sent a large package of medicines, these medicines can't see the ingredients. , Are all honey pills, saying that this is a good medicine for treating young lady's disease.
Hehe, the young lady's disease has been cured by the world's famous doctors. He is a scholar, whose surname is Lu, how can he understand? The minion thinks he clearly has ulterior motives! "
Dai Gao frowned deeply, he snorted fiercely, and said, "Since I know that I have ulterior motives, what else do I say? I have a good meal, so you can say nothing, huh, old stuff, more The older you get confused, the older you are, the more you look back. It's really disappointing!"
After Dai Gao finished speaking, he stood up, threw away the chopsticks in his hand, and went straight to the backyard angrily. Song Fu'er was sweaty on her forehead, but she dared not follow it. The bitterness in her heart was really unspeakable!
