Chapter 310: To Each His Own Calculation
This really frightened Yan Yulin, you must know that there are still a few companions standing behind him, and it is too unbelievable that people can approach him so easily without anyone warning him. It wasn't until he looked back that he breathed a sigh of relief: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”
It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared and stopped his next move was Yan Yulin's brother Yan Yuqi, a young man who was seven points similar to his brother, but three points more shrewd and calm.
In the Yan family, Yan Yulin is just a son-in-law who likes to mess around, but the brother in front of him is already the right-hand man of his father Yan Runzhang, who has always acted decisively and carefully, has long been regarded as the successor of the Yan family in the future, not to mention the ordinary family slaves and the shopkeepers below, who are their younger brothers, are quite in awe of Yan Yuqi. Because of this, when Yan Yuqi suddenly came over, none of Yan Yulin's companions dared to remind him.
Faced with his brother's question, Yan Yuqi was not in a hurry to answer, but pulled him aside: "What are you doing?" Do you want to just break into someone's house and threaten Lu Jin? ”
"Big brother...... Do you also know that he arrived in Suzhou? Yan Yulin said with some surprise. He also happened to see Lu Zhen and his party at the city gate before, so he made up his mind and planned to make it clear to him.
For Lu Jin, the second son of the Yan family has never taken it seriously, and felt that he was just lucky, so he made a marriage with the Chu family early, and later relied on them to help the Jinshi who was admitted to the examination. If Lu Zhen can always be his official in peace, Yan Ergongzi can still think highly of him, but now that he has been dismissed, it is another matter.
Originally, he felt that with Lu Jin's current situation, he only needed to let someone like Lu Tang pass the word. But today the other party actually entered Suzhou City directly, which means that Lu Tang did not get things done, and even the two sides had contradictions, so he planned to talk to Lu Zhen in person.
It's just that he didn't expect that he couldn't hide this thing from his brother, which made Yan Yulin quite frustrated. And Yan Yuqi snorted: "Do you think he is still the little person who can be manipulated by you at will?" You're too nonsense, and you actually say you're helping me, isn't that adding to the chaos? ”
"Huh?" Yan Yulin was stunned again, did his brother actually know so much about this incident?
Yan Yuqi shook his head lightly: "You, you're still so frizzy, things shouldn't be done like this!" Although he Lu Zhen is no longer an official of the imperial court, his fame is still there, but you are just a cloth cloth, do you think you can threaten him? And once he is vigilant, so that he can get the word out first, then we are too passive. ”
Yan Yulin really didn't expect this, he had always been in Suzhou City, he really didn't think that he might be rejected by others. But the elder brother's serious speech made him have to face up to this problem, and his face finally became solemn: "Then this matter can't start from him?" Do you want to leave it at that, big brother? ”
"I have a deep affection for my cousin, so naturally I won't give up easily." Yan Yuqi snorted: "But you must not use such means." Because that will make it difficult for the Chu family, when the time comes, my uncle and he will have to stand on Lu Jin's side for the sake of his own face. ”
After a pause, he looked at the small courtyard again and said, "And you also underestimated Lu Jin." Do you think he's still the same person he used to be? After several years of immersion in officialdom, he has long been enlightened. Otherwise, there will not be so many turmoil in Beijing and other places, if you use force, you will only fall into the hands of them. ”
Yan Yulin has always been convinced of his brother's judgment. As soon as he heard this, he could only obediently admit his mistake: "I was careless, and I almost made a big mistake." What do you think we should do, big brother? ”
"Let's go back first, and when we find out all the details of his current situation, it's not too late for us to make a decision. Anyway, in a short period of time, he didn't want to pick up his cousin from the Chu family! Yan Yuqi smiled, and then pulled his brother and turned away.
And at the same time as they left, in the courtyard across the door, there were several pairs of eyes watching them, it was Lu Jin, Lin Lie, and Qinggrad, who had already discovered their whereabouts.
"Do you recognize them?" Qingler asked, somewhat confused. And in response to him, Lu Zhen shook his head a little blankly, he really didn't recognize these guys who followed him to the door but never came in, in fact, he didn't have any acquaintances in Suzhou except for Chu Yunrong.
However, Lu Zhen could still hear one thing from the other party's first few words, that is, they recognized themselves, or rather, they recognized the original Lu Jin. As for their purpose in finding themselves, they were not able to understand it because they had gone farther away.
After a little thought, Lu Zhen said to Qingle: "I beg you to follow them and see where they came from." It's good to be prepared. ”
Qinggel hurriedly agreed, did not open the door, rushed directly to the courtyard wall in a few steps, jumped over, and then pressed the wall with his hand, and jumped directly out of the courtyard, and then chased down with years of tracking skills.
It wasn't until half an hour later, when it was already dark, that Qingler returned, and his face had become a little solemn. As soon as Lu Zhen saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Have you found the other party's road number?" ”
"My lord, they are the people of the Yan family." Qingler replied in a deep voice.
Lu Zhen didn't have too many surprises, he also knew that he had just arrived in Suzhou, and that was the only thing that could make people think about coming to the door. It's just that he didn't expect one thing, that is, the other party was so impatient, and the power was so great, as soon as he entered the city, he was already targeted by them.
From this, it can be seen that it will not be too easy for him to recapture Chu Yunrong this time. But this answer made Lu Zhen have a lot of fighting spirit, and he will definitely not back down in the slightest in this matter!
"My lord, what are we going to do next? Do you want to strike first? Lin Lie, who had always been silent, suddenly asked.
During this period of time, what happened to Hangzhou City made him feel quite aggrieved, and his heart was already filled with anger. In Lujiagou before, they were treated like this again, and it was only because the other party was Lu Jin's clan that he forcibly endured it. But now, this Yan family actually dares to calculate adults, and he really can't bear it.
Lu Zhen glanced at the two with gloomy faces, and laughed unconsciously: "I understand your thoughts, but we are not officials now after all, and it is better not to do some things." Moreover, the Yan family's influence in Suzhou is also not small, if it is chaotic, it will only bring trouble to ourselves. ”
"What do you mean?" Both looked at each other at the same time.
Lu Zhen exhaled: "Instead of fighting with them, it's better to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle." Yunrong is my wife, and now that I have arrived in Suzhou, I naturally want to take her back to my side! ”
This is indeed the most correct choice, if Lu Zhen also uses other means to compete with the Yan family brothers like the other party, he will use his own shortcomings to fight the enemy's strengths. Although he was annoyed in his heart, Lu Jin's mind was still very clear.
The two people in front of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they both understood, and nodded one after another: "My lord is thoughtful, there is really no need to fight with them about this matter." ”
"Alright, let's all go back to our rooms and rest. Tomorrow, we will go to the city to buy some gifts, and the day after tomorrow, we will go to Chu's house and bring Yun Rong back by the way. Lu Zhen waved his hand and ordered.
It wasn't until the two left that the determined smile on Lu Jin's face gradually faded. In fact, he was not so calm in his heart, he knew very well how powerful the Yan family was in Suzhou, and he really had no advantage other than his name. I only hope that this time they will underestimate the enemy, and the Chu family will be persuaded by themselves because they are worried that their reputation will not be good, and they will take Yun Rong back.
"Hey, I should have brought Yun Rong back earlier." Lu Zhen sighed with some regret. At that time, I was an official, so people would naturally have some concerns, and it would be easier to do things. But now, it's obviously much harder.
@@@@@
After entering the shift, the Yan family, Yan Yuqi's study.
Yan Yulin came over again: "Big brother, I always feel that we should do something first." You also know your uncle's temperament, once you let Lu Zhen squeeze his words, he may really return his cousin to him. ”
Yan Yuqi didn't have much worry about this, after all, her aunt has always liked her and wanted to kiss her. But when he heard his brother say this, he was really a little uncertain, after all, it was his uncle Chu Wanhua who was in charge of the Chu family, and if he finally made up his mind, even his aunt would not be able to change it.
Seeing that his brother was moved, Yan Yulin continued: "Big brother, let's do what I want, he is not an official after all, as long as he knows the attitude of my Yan family, then no matter how bold he is, he can only back down." ”
"No." Yan Yuqi shook his head categorically: "If it were ordinary people, we could do this." But after all, he used to be an official, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will speak for him because of this. And once it is strong, it will have a great impact on my Yan family. We have to think of individual solutions. ”
"Otherwise...... It's hard to find. Yan Yulin frowned, thought for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed through his heart: "There is!" He came back this time with an extra woman, can we start here? ”
"What is this? Isn't it normal for a husband to have three wives and four concubines? Yan Yuqi frowned and said disapprovingly.
That's not what I said. As long as we make some fuss about this matter, it will be enough to ruin his reputation as Lu Jin. At that time, the uncle will definitely not return the cousin to him. Yan Yulin smiled and whispered his strategy.
Yan Yuqi thought about it carefully after hearing this, and couldn't help but nod: "I can't imagine that you still have some ideas about this kind of thing." Then do as you want, and get the news out tomorrow! ”
