Lu Zhiqian looked at his only son, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info he also had such ambitions back then, but after so many years and so many helplessness, he has long lost his original fighting spirit. Nothing is as important as the peace and joy of the family, and the rise and fall of the family is not as important.

However, what will be the result of the path chosen by the son now? The Seventh Prince is undoubtedly a good choice, but if he fails, he will lose his only son. Lu Zhiqian didn't want to take this risk, but he couldn't change his son's decision. And there is no better option right now.

Lu Zhiqian looked at Lu Zhixin for a long time, and finally asked in a low voice: "Have you really thought about it? If you decide to follow the Seventh Prince, then what will happen to this year's autumn exam? What about your career? Your mentor is still waiting for you in the capital." ”

Lu Zhixin's eyes were full of confidence and firmness, nodded and said, "Father, I've already thought about it." And that's exactly what my mentor meant. It was my mentor who asked me to go back to Nancheng to help the Seven Princes. As for the autumn test and official career, if you can't meet Mingjun, don't do it. ”

Lu Zhiqian was stunned when he heard this, helped Lu Zhixin up, frowned and asked, "Is it really Mr. Qiu who asked you to help the Seventh Prince?"

Lu Zhixin bowed down and stood opposite his father, nodded and said, "Yes, father." Mr. Qiu said in the letter, if I return to Nancheng, let me advise you to help the Seven Princes. ”

Lu Zhiqian pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since even Mr. Qiu also supports the Seventh Prince, then we might as well take a gamble." ”

Lu Zhixin was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Father, have you already agreed?"

Lu Zhiqian nodded solemnly again, and said, "According to what Miss Amu said before, you should come forward to help her raise grain, grass and military supplies, and greet you and a few old friends in the city for your father's association." ”

Lu Zhixin bowed and said, "Thank you, father!" After speaking, he said with some hesitation: "Father, the child wants to give up this year's autumn exam." ”

Lu Zhiqian was not surprised by Lu Zhixin's decision, nodded, and said, "Well, it's okay not to go this year." The chief examiner of this year's autumn exam is Prime Minister Liu Cheng, since you helped the Seventh Prince, presumably he will not let you go to high school. What's more, now that the situation in the capital is complicated, if you go, you may be involved in the struggle of various factions, so it is better not to go, stay in Fengnan City for the time being, and wait and see what happens. ”

Lu Zhixin didn't expect his father to support his decision, and the heart that had been hanging finally let go. After thinking about it, he frowned and asked, "Father, what should the child do now?"

Lu Zhiqian smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "You, you have a lot of blood, but you don't know how to do it, you still need a lot of experience!" After speaking, he thought about it and said, "Tonight is a banquet in the mansion, I will take you to meet my old friends in the city." ”

Lu Zhixin's eyes were full of excitement, and he said happily: "Yes, father." ”

Lu Zhiqian patted his son's shoulder, turned his head and shouted outside the hall: "Someone, please come and see me." ”

"Yes, sir. "There are already guards outside the door who have taken the order.

After a while, Manager Zhang hurriedly ran in, stood in the hall, bowed and clenched his fists, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what do you command?"

Lu Zhiqian thought for a while and ordered: "Zhang Chi, you immediately go and help me make a post to invite Boss Dong, Boss Liu, Shopkeeper Wang, Zhu Yuanwai, and Old Man Zhong in the city to come to the mansion to attend the dinner." Let's just say that the eldest son of our family is back, and the fifth lady's illness has also been treated, I am in a good mood and want to invite everyone to get together. ”

"Yes, my lord, the villain will do it, and I will definitely arrange tonight's banquet properly and lively. Zhang Chi is really happy for the master, the eldest prince is back, and the fifth lady's illness is also going to be cured, of course it is a happy thing, he hurriedly turned around and walked out of the hall quickly, and hurried to do something.

Lu Zhiqian asked Lu Zhixin to sit beside him, and then carefully described the family background, temperament, habits and preferences of these important people in Fengnan City, and how they befriended the Lu family.

Lu Zhixin listened to his father's preaching, and suddenly felt that whether it was officialdom or secular human feelings, it was not so simple. He has studied for many years, and both his knowledge and character have been praised by his teachers and classmates. However, the so-called learning is endless, and there are still many things to learn in interpersonal communication.

When Lu Zhixin came to the courtyard where Lin Wan and Qi Xun were resting and invited them to the dinner, it was already the end of the Shen time.

When Lu Zhixin walked into the courtyard, Lin Wanzheng and Qi Xun were drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.

Qi Xun saw Lu Zhixin walking in, hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Zhixin, you are here, come and sit." ”

Lu Zhixin walked up to Qi Xun, clasped his fists in salute, and said, "Uncle Qi, Miss Amu." ”

Qi Xun has been living in the military camp for a long time, and he is not informal, he is used to it, and he waved his hand and said: "Zhixin, you Uncle Qi doesn't like this, so you don't need to be formal." ”

Lin Wan didn't wear a veil at the moment, nor did she get up to salute back, she just smiled and said, "Young Master Lu, Aunt Amu Nai Mountain and Wild Village, I don't like these red tape, so I won't be polite to you, and you don't have to be polite, please sit down and talk." ”

Lu Zhixin's heart was relieved, but he felt that people were closer to each other. Nodding slightly, he sat opposite Lin Wan.

Qi Xun couldn't wait to ask, "Zhixin, how did you discuss with your father?

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Zhixin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Uncle Qi, my father has already agreed to Miss Amu's proposal. Moreover, a post has been placed to invite the wealthy merchants and respected elders in the city to come to the mansion tonight to discuss the matter. I have come here to invite you two to tonight's feast. ”

Qi Xun was overjoyed, high-fived and smiled: "Okay, good, Brother Lu really didn't disappoint everyone." Without his support, our Pingnan army would really be in trouble everywhere and be controlled by others everywhere. Now, we don't have to worry about it. ”

Lin Wan also smiled and nodded, and said, "Great, this matter can be regarded as more than half of the success." But I won't attend tonight's banquet, it's enough to have you and Lord Qi. Ask Lu Gongzi to help arrange it, I will go out of the house immediately to do another important matter. ”

Lu Zhixin asked suspiciously, "What is Miss Amu going to do, is it more important than fundraising?"

Lin Wan smiled faintly and said: "Collecting donations from the people in the city is just an emergency method, and we ultimately have to rely on the military rations and salaries transported from the capital in order to maintain such a huge army and support this long war." (To be continued.) )
