Zhao Changping did have this idea at the beginning, and wanted his youngest son to marry Master Lu's only daughter.
When he proposed this idea, he was already the Minister of Household Affairs, so Lu Anshi was already moved by this proposal.
He has no son, and there is no more powerful person in the family. One day, he will pass away, because he only has such a daughter, and of course he wants to find a home for her where she can have enough food and clothing.
A young master from a minister's family naturally meets the conditions.
For this reason, Lu Anshi also asked the students in the capital about Zhao Jizhou. Later, he learned that Zhao Jizhou was a bit fat and hung out in the Qinhuai River all year round, so the matter was dismissed.
Shen Yi glanced at Zhao Jizhou and said with a smile: "Isn't the second brother getting married soon? Be careful when I see the second sister-in-law in the future, I will sue you!"
Zhao Jizhou is four years older than Shen Yi and is 21 years old this year. Last year, his family arranged a marriage and he will get married in the second half of this year.
Zhao Er rubbed his neck and hummed softly: "I have never met your sister-in-law. Why are you afraid of her?"
"correct…"
Zhao Er suddenly remembered something, looked at Shen Yi and whispered: "In the past few days since you have been home, Ziheng, a big event has happened in Jiankang City!"
Shen Yi blinked and asked, "What's the big deal?"
"Gu everyone redeemed it for others!"
Zhao Jizhou was obviously a little angry. After all, he was also one of Gu Hengbo's financial backers and spent a lot of money on Gu Hengbo.
He said angrily: "I used to go to Chunyi Tower, and I asked the shopkeeper countless times, but he never gave me a price. Damn, even if it's two to thirty thousand taels of silver, I can still get it by selling iron! "
"Now I bought it for a man named Xu without any noise, and the Chunyi Building didn't even squeak!"
Zhao Er gritted his teeth: "Even if Chunyi Tower makes this matter public and everyone fights for it based on their ability, Brother Wei will be convinced in his heart, but he just bought it back quietly!"
What Zhao Jizhou wanted to say was that if Chunyi Tower wanted to take action, it should put Gu Hengbo up for auction.
Instead of selling it secretly.
Although Zhao Er had a good relationship with Shen Yi, he did not know Xu Fu. Even though he had met him a few times from a distance, Shen Yi never introduced him to him.
Therefore, he didn't know that the person who bought Gu Hengbo was the "little brother" of the brother in front of him.
Shen Yi glanced at him helplessly and said in a low voice: "Second brother, there must be a background behind why Chunyi Tower can become so big on the bank of the Qinhuai River. And since this person can silently let Gu everyone quit, it shows that there is a background behind it. He must have unimaginable abilities. There are many beautiful women in Jiankang City. Second brother, please be more liberal. Don't be obsessed with anything."
Just kidding, Gu Hengbo will most likely become His Majesty the Emperor's concubine in the future. It is even possible that if His Majesty the Emperor likes it, he will find a way to clear her identity and bring her into the palace as a concubine!
Under this background, Zhao Jizhou has no possibility. If he continues to persist, he will steal women from the emperor. The emperor is not as old as Zhao Erda. He is young and energetic. If he is not careful, he may cause trouble. .
Zhao Jizhou stretched out his hand to scratch his head and sighed: "I understand what Ziheng said in my heart, but I am holding my breath in my heart. Compared with his background, my old man is not bad..."
"OK OK."
Shen Yi coughed and interrupted Zhao Er's speech. He looked up and saw a thick cloud floating in the sky, blocking the scorching sun. Shen Yi greeted everyone and said: "Everyone, The sun is covered by clouds, let’s hurry up and get to Jiankang as soon as possible, it’s better than being in this wilderness!”
Along the way, Shen Yi was running around all kinds of things. After he shouted this, everyone said hello, then everyone got on their cars and horses, and the team slowly set off.
Shen Yi jumped on his carriage, poked his head out to take a look at Zhao Jizhou, and said, "Second brother, if you ride a horse quickly, go and tell Uncle Zhao that we will be there soon."
Zhao Er rode on the horse, nodded with a smile, and then rode off quickly.
The team starts again.
In Miss Lu's carriage, the maid Lian'er sat next to her. She stretched her head out of the carriage and watched Zhao Er go away. Then she retracted her head and whispered to her young lady: "Miss, this person is the second son of the Zhao family. Young Master?"
Miss Lu nodded and said softly: "It's the second brother of the Zhao family. I haven't seen him for many years in the blink of an eye."
"It's the one that the master mentioned to the young lady before..."
Lian'er pursed her lips, then leaned into Miss Lu's ear and whispered, "She does look average, not as good-looking as Mr. Shen's."
A personal maid like her will marry into her husband's family together with the young lady in the future. After marrying, she may even become a maid in the same house.
Therefore, it is not just the young lady who is choosing a husband, she is also choosing one.
Speaking of this, Lian'er glanced at Shen Yi's carriage again and hummed: "In Mr. Shen's house, those two maids are so annoying. If the young lady goes there in the future, she must deal with them well."
Miss Lu's face turned red when she said that. She reached out and pinched Lian'er, feeling a little annoyed: "Damn girl, what are you talking about..."
The two grew up together and were already like little sisters. Lian'er was pinched, but she didn't feel annoyed. She just said with a smile: "Okay, Miss, I won't say it anymore... I won't say it anymore..."
While the two little sisters were chatting, the motorcade was getting closer and closer to Jiankang. Less than half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the east gate of Jiankang.
A middle-aged man in black casual clothes had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. When Lu Anshi's carriage stopped, the middle-aged man stepped up and said with a smile: "I hope for the stars and the moon, but I hope you are here, Lu Jizhong." Got it!"
The one who could talk to Mr. Lu like this was naturally Zhao Changping, who was currently the minister of household affairs and was about to be promoted to minister of household affairs.
Mr. Lu was sitting in the first carriage in the queue. After hearing his old friend's voice, he opened the curtain and prepared to get out of the car. But Mr. Shen jumped out of the carriage and ran to Mr. Lu's carriage. , helped Mr. Lu down.
Mr. Lu is over fifty years old this year. He has been a little tired after traveling for several days.
After getting off the carriage, the Jiangzuo scholar did not speak. Instead, he walked silently to his old friend. He looked up at the old friend in front of him and sighed: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Changping has gained a lot of gray hair."
Although the two of them are called brothers, there is not much age difference between them. Zhao Changping is only two years older than Master Lu.
But in comparison, Zhao Shilang already had strands of silver hair on his head, while Master Lu only had a few white hairs here and there, and most of his hair was still black.
Zhao Shilang smiled openly: "It's natural to be older after being in a cage for a long time, but it's good for you."
He put his hands on Master Lu's shoulders, patted her, and said with envy: "You are much younger than me."
"There are only so many benefits to being an idle person."
Master Lu sighed, then took two steps back, bowed his head deeply to Minister Zhao, and said with a long bow: "Brother Changping."
Zhao Changping looked serious and took a step back, bowing to Lu Anshi in return: "A worthy brother in Jizhong."
This is a courtesy between scholars and a symbol of the decades-old friendship between two people.
At this moment, two big guys from Ganquan Academy, one mile away, are outside Jiankang City...
