Night is gradually falling, and the lights of the Lu family at night are flickering like stars.

Dongpo Zhai, the girl waited for the old lady to finish bathing, Hong Quan had already begun to grind ink in the study, and Lu Shanchang copied the scriptures at night, this habit has rarely slackened in the past 20 years.

However, his mood did not seem to be high today, he took the pen from the pen stand, and after writing a few lines, he put the pen on the table, and the girl brought the teacup, he picked up the teacup, stood up and walked straight to the front of the grille window, staring out the window.

"Hong Quan'er, have you figured it out?" Lu Shan said.

Hong Quan leaned his back and said: "It's probably all figured out, because we don't have many people in Yangzhou, so there may be discrepancies in the detailed situation!" ”

He paused and said: "Brother Zheng has suffered a lot in Yangzhou, suffered a lot of crimes, and escaped death many times. The old slave will tell you slowly......"

"After Lu Zheng arrived in Yangzhou, the first to do it was Zhang Fuhua's second grandmother......"

Hong Quan's voice was not high, and his speed of speech was not slow, but he told everything that Lu Zheng experienced in Yangzhou. If Lu Zheng heard it at the scene, it is estimated that he would be frightened, and the four families in Jiangnan are really not simple.

In addition to the strength on the surface, the Lu family secretly raises an unknown number of people, and the entire Jiangnan and even the entire Dakang seem to have a net belonging to the Lu family.

Lu Shanchang launched a thorough investigation of Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng's one-day experience in Yangzhou can appear on Lu Shanchang's desk.

"Wait, what kind of place do you say the green bamboo forest is?" Lu Shanchang suddenly interrupted Hong Quan's narration and said.

Hong Quan shook his head and said: "This is not clear, this place in Yangzhou is inconspicuous, it may be the residence of a hermit, right?" ”

"It's not that simple!" Lu Shanchang shook his head and said: "I have heard the Green Bamboo Forest three times, the last time you told me about Dai Yong, I heard the Green Bamboo Forest once, the file you gave me Nie Yong during the day, I also saw the Green Bamboo Forest, Zheng'er goes to the Green Bamboo Forest every few days, is this place an ordinary place?" ”

"Zheng'er is just a teenager, but how old and spicy do you think he is? Although the Zhang family is not worth mentioning, but he sends people under the fence, but he can anticipate the enemy everywhere like a god, and the counterattack is wonderful and sharp, no one to guide him, how is it possible? Lu Shan said.

He paused slightly, and then said: "Nie Yong has been unsuccessful in Yangzhou for three years, but he suddenly rose, from the perspective of time, it is only after he and Zheng'er met that he came to operate, this may not be a coincidence."

This time Nie Yong is so concerned again, if the two of them are just masters and apprentices, I estimate that it shouldn't be like this! In my opinion, these things should be arranged and planned by Zheng'er, and his intention is that he doesn't want to stay in the Lu family! Hey ......"

Hong Quan frowned slightly, and after a long while, he seemed to comprehend it, and said, "Young Master Zheng has good qualifications, and he is young and promising!" Just ......"

Lu Shanchang shook his head and said, "I was also worried about what you were worried about, but now that I think about it, under the protection of my Lu family, no matter how good the seedlings are, it will be difficult to achieve anything."

The powerful lords and sons of wealthy families are either bound by all kinds of constraints and are not allowed to show them, or like Jun'er, they are greedy for wealth and do not want to make progress. No matter how good the horse farm is, it can't raise wild horses, throughout the ages, but all great talents have been tempered......"

Lu Shanchang paused, and said: "As long as Lu Zheng's surname is 'Lu', he will be inseparable from the Lu family in Jiangning, the higher he goes, the farther he goes, the closer this relationship will be."

So, don't worry that he can really break away from the Lu family, he will always be the Lu family, blood is thicker than water, ever-changing, and the bloodline can't change no matter what! ”

Hong Quan bowed his head lightly and did not make a sound.

"Hong Quan'er, what do you think of this place in Liuhe?"

Hong Quandao: "Zhan Tianqi found Nie Yong, but I was afraid that he was in a hurry to go to the doctor." This Dadu governor, who has never fought a war, is not stupid, he wants to seize the military first, and then seize the benefits of Jiangnan.

However, the identity of the prince is too sensitive, and a place like Jiangnan is too eye-catching, Zhan Tianqi needs someone to stabilize the rear for him, so he found Nie Yong.

Hehe, Nie Yong has been in Yangzhou for three years, from Yangzhou to Jinling, I don't know how many people want to see him look foreign! How can Liuhe be compared to the small counties below Yangzhou? This person has been in office for a few months, and it is said that he has been played around, and his county order is completely useless! ”

Lu Shanchang's cloudy eyes showed a playful color, and he said faintly: "I remember that Qiao Zhisong of Liuhe County used to be the prison of the Criminal Department, right?" ”

"Yes, Qiao Xiancheng is indeed a protégé of the Gu family, and the master means ......"

Lu Shanchang smiled and said: "Liuyi County seems to be remote, but it has two unique conditions, the first is that the Nanfu Army is in Liuhe, and second, the golden waterway of the river has forty or fifty miles through Liuhe, the Gu family has been operating in Liuhe for many years, and it has deep roots, but they don't dare to be too aggressive, it is really contradictory!" ”

"If Nie Yong wants to break the situation, he must use the entanglement between the Gu family and the imperial court, or the interests of all parties to start it, but this matter is easy to say, but I am afraid it is not easy to do."

Hong Quandao: "Master, there is one more thing you can't forget, Nie Yongke screamed one by one, Zhan Tian activated him, and it is estimated that this 'Dai thief' is so good!" The story of Dai Thief and our Jiangnan power lord is very long, I don't know if Nie Yong can straighten it out! ”

Lu Shanchang raised his hand and said, "Okay, we are in Jiangning, we can't reach it in the future, so let's watch the fire across the river!" Okay, I don't want to write today, I have to get up early tomorrow! ”

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Lu Shanchang and Lu Qian both got up early, but neither went to the yamen.

Lu Zheng lived in the courtyard of the second room last night, and Qi Qiuyue met his mother and son, and was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Good guy, as soon as Lu Zheng came back, Qi Qiuyue now had a unique courtyard, although there was only a small courtyard with three rooms, but it was no longer the same as living in the back house.

In addition to a courtyard, the family also gave Qi Qiuyue four girls and two mothers-in-law, and the monthly money and silver were also given according to the rules of other aunts, and the various rewards for the New Year were also a lot, Qi Qiuyue finally got rid of the life of the slave, and now she can be the master.

She is happy in her heart, but she also has worries, her worry is that Lu Zheng has just gone home, and now she is leaving, and she doesn't know how Lu Zheng is doing when she goes to Yingtian, she really doesn't have much bottom in her heart!

When he got up in the morning, Lu Zheng combed his hair under the service of Ying'er, and Ying'er said, "Childe, didn't you look at the time?" It's not too early! ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

Shadow said, "Can it be okay?" The breakfast that my aunt has prepared for you has been hot several times, and besides, the lord and the lady have not gone to say hello yet, and it is estimated that Lord Nie will come to pick you up later, and the car will arrive, and the time is very urgent! ”

After Lu Zheng finished washing, Qi Qiuyue came up with a smile and said, "Hurry up and eat, hey, you are really tired all the way from Yangzhou, why don't you just rest at home for a few more days and then go to Yingtian to study?" ”

Lu Zheng's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of warmth that he had never felt before, and he was full of gratitude to the woman in front of him, this gratitude came from a part of the previous owner of the body, and he himself also had a large part.

According to the convention, Qi Qiuyue can bow her head to Mrs. Zhang like Lu Qian's other concubines, as long as she bows her head and obeys Mrs. Zhang's arrangement in everything, she has long been the master, where can she suffer so much and suffer so much?

But the problem is that Mrs. Zhang does not allow other concubines to have children, daughters are just left, there are boys that are absolutely intolerable, Qi Qiuyue is almost like a moth to a fire and Mrs. Zhang fights to the death, her only purpose is to save Lu Zheng's life, if it weren't for her desperate protection, Lu Zheng would not have survived today.

Lu Zheng still has a very clear memory fragment in his mind, this is when Lu Zheng was sent to Yangzhou by Mrs. Zhang to part, Qi Qiuyue hugged him desperately, crying silently.

She said: "My mother really has no choice, but if there is a little way, even if I let my mother give up her life, I will not hesitate." The mother doesn't really want to fight with the wife, the mother also wants to be the master and wants to serve by the master's side. But my wife won't let you live, and my mother can only fight to protect you......

But today my mother can't protect it, you go to Yangzhou and let your uncle follow you, if you can't survive, your mother won't live, and in the next life, our mother and son will have a good baby, and they will no longer be bullied......"

When Lu Zheng saw Qi Qiuyue for the first time, this picture instantly popped up in his mind, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he instantly decided in his heart that the woman in front of him was his mother, this was the closest person in the world, and there was no one.

Qi Qiuyue wanted to stay with Lu Zheng for a few more days, but it naturally didn't work, first, Nie Yong's side was in ruins, and he didn't wait for me, so he really needed help. In addition, Lu Zheng was worried that the night was long and dreamy, and he finally found an opportunity to leave the Lu family, if he lived in the Lu family, it would be inappropriate if his life changed.

Lu Zheng took advantage of the time to eat, and comforted Qi Qiuyue, after breakfast, Lu Zheng needed to visit his parents, and he went to Mrs. Zhang's yard first.

Mrs. Zhang estimated that she knew that Lu Zheng was going, so she deliberately hid, and the girl in the courtyard said that Mrs. went to the temple fair early in the morning, Lu Zheng felt relieved, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to call a mother who had no blood relationship with him.

Mrs. Zhang is not in the courtyard, Lu Qian is in the study, his study is called "Yang Qi Zhai", which is the meaning of Mencius Yang Wu Haoran's spirit, outside the study is a small courtyard, the courtyard is green pine and cypress, green willow and bamboo, designed very elegantly.

When Lu Zheng stepped into this courtyard, his first feeling was quiet, silent, if it weren't for a girl who saw Lu Zheng and took the initiative to show him the way, he would even think that no one lived here.

The little maid who led the way was petite, walking silently, on the bluestone paved floor, the two shuttled like a marquee, and finally, bypassing the forests and rockeries, the three words "Yang Qi Zhai" came into his eyes......
