Lu Qian and Lu An began to have a passionate discussion about the flavors of stinky tofu, including the combination of heavy spicy, medium spicy, slightly spicy, spicy, spicy, sour and spicy.
Pieces of stinky tofu were fried in the oil pan, and the big man was busy, grinning happily.
"Brother Qi, I told you that the gentlemen who studied in your family must be blind. How could a smart person like you not be able to read a few tattered books?"
Hearing that Lu Qian was praised by the doctors from the Imperial College, the big man felt happier than if he had just picked up a gold ingot.
When he was happy, he fried three extra portions of stinky tofu for Lu An as gifts.
Lu An beamed with joy.
Lu Qian stood aside, squinting at the big man, as if he was looking at a fool or a prodigal.
At the same time, at the northwest corner of Min'an Square, Laiguogong Mansion, East Street.
Like Yulu Hutong in Tianenhou Mansion, the entire East Street of Laiguogong Mansion is inhabited by people from all the Lu family clans.
Among them, there is a two-entry courtyard closest to the Lu clan school. In the main room to the north, there is a white scarf tied on the forehead, dog skin ointment on the left and right temples, Lu Jun, who is shivering and wrapped in a quilt, is angry.
looked at the visitor sitting by the bed.
Bai Lang, the eldest of the nine second-generation brothers of the Bai family, looked at the haggard Lu Jun with a cold face.
He tapped his fingers on the bedside table and said lightly: "That's it. Brother Lu, please bear with me. Please bear this bad reputation for a while!"
Lu Jun's face darkened: "I can't bear the reputation of being short-sighted and misleading others!"
He said angrily: "Five years ago, Mr. Bai Qiongbai asked me to 'take more care' of Lu Qian in the ethnic studies. Now, he wants me to bear all the stigma. I, I, I..."
Bai Lang snorted coldly: "Half a year, half a year at most, when Brother Lu ran out of money and food when he was in office, those who handled it will definitely be found out. I promise to clear Brother Lu's name and restore Brother Lu's glorious official position!
"
Lu Jun's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at Bai Lang suspiciously: "Back then, the Duke of Lai Kingdom didn't have the power to help me find out about this matter! You?"
Bai Lang smiled indifferently and waved his hand gently: "The Duke of Laiguo is indeed a wealthy family, but in Dayin today, times have changed, and the Wuxun family has become outdated. The ones who speak powerfully now are my cultural disciples. Laiguo
No matter how powerful the government is, it cannot investigate your case of missing money and food."
Changing his tone, Bai Lang said leisurely: "But my old man wants to help you. This is just a matter of words. Countless disciples and disciples are working hard for this. Some dirty officials are colluding with each other to get their hands on each other, bypassing the superior officials for personal gain, and find out such trivial matters.
, but it’s easy to turn around.”
Lu Jun pursed his lips: "Can I be reinstated?"
Bai Lang smiled slightly: "It's just a trivial matter."
Lu Jun's face turned red for a while. He struggled to straighten his body and gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, I will bear this bad reputation and admit that I was temporarily blind and delayed a talented person like Lu Qian."
Bai Lang nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good. The Lu family is a mixed bag of good and bad people. It is muddy and sandy. Who can make mistakes without being a sage? But I was wrong for a moment. Brother Lu, your good reputation will not be greatly damaged."
Tapping his fingers heavily on the bedside table, Bai Lang stood up, took out a few thumb-sized golden barley seeds from his sleeves, and placed them gently on the table.
"It's good to be healthy and well. Brother Lu is in his prime. His future is naturally bright and unlimited."
After a slight hesitation, Bai Lang lowered his head, approached Lu Jun, lowered his voice, and asked him curiously: "My brother, like Brother Lu, has also been ill for several days. Oh, my brother didn't do anything that day.
He fainted and fell to the ground, as did He Fang Ling. Brother Lu, can you clearly see the person who hurt you?"
Lu Jun's slightly rosy face suddenly turned pale again, and his body trembled subconsciously.
He tilted his head, looked at Bai Lang coldly, and said quietly: "Uncle Bai, if you are curious about this matter, why don't you go find the 'Palace Guard' to inquire carefully? To be honest, I really didn't understand what happened that day.
, in short, once the body gets cold, I will fall ill when I come back."
"Later, the palace guard came to inquire about this matter. After all, He Fang Ling was also seriously injured and bedridden." Lu Jun said quietly: "You want to know the cause and effect of this matter. I'm afraid they are the only ones in the huge Haojing City who can answer you.
Already."
Bai Lang's face became ugly, as if he had stepped on cow excrement when he went out while wearing new shoes.
At the same time, the Duke's Mansion of Lai is the small study room of Lu Yu, the contemporary Duke of Lai.
The furnishings are very simple and heavy, and there is no trace of extravagance or glitz in the small study. It is extremely well maintained. She is still thin and tender even after she is over forty years old. She has a round and round face that looks very aristocratic. She is wearing a light blue Shuiyue Taoist robe.
Lu Yu, who has a rather elegant and "idler" charm, was chatting and laughing with Bai Changkong, and kept calling himself a "student".
Jingyang Lu family, the top family in Dayin.
The lineage of Duke Lai, the founding martial tycoon of Dayin, used hundreds of millions of bloody heads to build the purple robes of the current Duke of Lai Palace, with bells ringing and cauldrons eating.
In the past, the direct lineage of Lai Guogong were all strong martial arts masters who devoured mountains and rivers and traveled in all directions. It was nothing more than an ordinary thing to destroy cities and demolish villages and cut off mountains and rivers with the power of their bodies.
However, times have changed, and in today's world, culture and education are on the rise, while martial arts are withering away.
Along with the decline of martial arts, the power of Dayin's traditional aristocratic families shrank and their power declined.
Today, in the Lai Kingdom Duke's Mansion, there are only a few generals and leaders with strength above the twelfth level of Tuomai.
Since three generations ago, the head of the family, Duke Lai Guogong, and the gentlemen below him have been obsessed with literature and devoted themselves to the study of poetry and poetry, as if they regard themselves as 'literati'!
At the time of Lu Yu's generation, Lu Yu and several of his brothers had even given up all the martial arts secrets inherited from their families. They could not even ride a more powerful war horse, nor could they draw a half-stone soft bow.
He is already a pure "literary disciple" and a true "scholar"!
As for Bai Changkong, as the deputy head of the Imperial Academy, he is the most outstanding figure in culture and education in Haojing City!
When Bai Changkong came to visit him in person, Lu Yu naturally felt that he was "brilliant" and tried his best to entertain him.
"The students have truly studied under Teacher Bai."
Lu Yu smiled brightly: "When Master Bai first entered the Imperial College, the students were assigned under Master Bai's name. It's just that the students were dull and wasted time in the Imperial College and couldn't read the book. Master Bai didn't have a deep impression on the students. This is also the reason.
."
After coughing lightly, Lu Yu assured Bai Changkong: "The student really didn't expect that his nephew would have such a predestined relationship with Master Bai. This is the glory of my Lu family and the glory of our Lai Kingdom.
It is also the glory of Tianenhou Mansion!"
"Master Bai, don't worry. The groom's parent is me, the student. I will definitely handle this marriage with great splendor, and my niece Wei Shuang will not be wronged in the slightest!"
"Even after marriage, if that little bastard Lu Qian dares to make niece Wei Shuang angry, the Lu family's family will definitely not be able to spare him!"
Bai Changkong smiled and nodded, and said calmly: "Then, it's settled, and Duke Laolai's Mansion, please take care of me. Well, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year is an auspicious day.
"
Lu Yu was stunned.
It's already the seventh and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, doesn't it mean there are only a few days left?
A bit too hasty.
However, the person in front of him is Bai Changkong, the most famous sage in Haojing City and a leader in the hearts of scholars.
In his life, Bai Changkong was the most "disrespectful prince", "scorned wealth and honor", never "clung to noble people", and the most "poor and happy"!
Lu Yu usually wants to have a relationship with such a person, but others are too lazy to talk to him!
Now, Bai Changkong came to the house in person with the idea of "the great virtuous person is pure and noble", and asked for the marriage of a poor boy from the Lu family, personally!
It is truly a ‘gentleman’s style’, truly a ‘gentleman’s righteousness’, truly a ‘gentleman’s promise worth a thousand pieces of gold’!
Lu Yu weighed and weighed his conscience. If something like this happened to him, would he want to marry his daughter-in-law to a poor boy with a poor family?
Tsk, I will definitely regret my marriage!
There is no doubt that I will regret my marriage!
Even if he secretly kills everyone, he must regret this marriage!
He was so unbearable, but Bai Changkong was so 'upright and upright', such an 'upright gentleman'!
Lu Yu pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "Master Bai, don't worry, the student will ask someone to handle this matter immediately. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Qian will marry Miss Bai, and the student will definitely do it in a glorious manner, and he will never be wronged."
Frost niece."
At almost the same time, in the reception hall of Tianenhou Mansion.
Mrs. Hu's face was gloomy, like a rusty Bodhisattva, and she looked expressionlessly at Bai Qiong who was coughing slightly.
Six thousand gold is gone.
The cooked duck flapped its wings and flew away!
Mrs. Hu's mood was sad and haggard.
Heartbroken to the extreme, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but sigh: "How can you scholars be so shameless? What about breaking off the engagement? What about a promise of six thousand gold to a gentleman?"
"You Bai family, are you still shameless?"
Mrs. Hu's lips were trembling, and her triangular eyes were filled with fierceness. She wanted to call someone in and beat Bai Qiong out with a big stick!
Bai Qiong coughed lightly, trembling, took out an official document from his sleeve, and gently handed it to Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu impatiently knocked the official document to the ground and said coldly: "I am illiterate, what are you doing with this crap?"
Bai Qiong started laughing. He pointed to the official document on the ground and said calmly: "Dayin's law stipulates that anyone who touches the salt and iron official buildings and private individuals without permission will die."
Mrs. Hu raised her head and was too lazy to answer.
"This is a salt contract, an official document issued by the Taifu Yamen."
Bai Qiong's voice was very soft and weak.
Mrs. Hu, with a smile like a flower and watery eyes, stood up in person and picked up the official document respectfully.
"With it, the Tianenhou Mansion can open a salt shop in Anlefang and sell official salt." Bai Qiong said softly: "If it is done well, it will make tens of thousands of dollars a year. It is just an easy and common thing."
Mrs. Hu smiled brightly and gave Bai Qiong an almost coquettish look: "Oh, Mr. Bai, this is, this is... Hey, change the tea cup, change the tea, and I will be reluctant to drink it."
Soak that top-quality delphinium tongue!"
Bai Qiong coughed heavily: "The marriage between Lu Qian and my daughter will be decided by Mrs. Lao."
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is an auspicious day. Let them get married as soon as possible."
Bai Qiong looked at Mrs. Hu deeply: "What do you think?"
Madam Hu held the official document tightly, and light fell like spring water on Bai Qiong's face: "It's done, it's done, Mr. Bai, don't worry, even if it is tied up, I will send Brother Geng to Wei Shuang's niece's bed."
Here! Hee hee!"
These words!
Bai Qiong's face twitched, and he suddenly wanted to kill someone.
