It took Lu Shangshu a while to realize which Yang family this young master was. It was said that he and Meng Yuan were friends in private, so Yang Xuan would not know about it.
So as Yang Zhiyuan, the son of Yang Xuan, firstly, he is not the descendant of his good friend, secondly, he is not the descendant of his fellow sect, and thirdly, he has never been promoted by him. How could someone with no connection suddenly come to his door?
Lu Shangshu immediately turned his attention to his fourth son, Lu Hongwen. The latter looked confused and confused. It was obvious that he did not recognize this Yang Zhiyuan.
Although Lu Shangshu was equally puzzled, etiquette must not be compromised. When people come to your door with gifts, it is difficult to turn them away.
So he asked the women to retreat to the compartment one by one, leaving only the fourth son Lu Hongwen and Lao Liu and Lao Qi. These two sons and the same mother were born to his third concubine.
He studied and studied theory, but he was never that outstanding.
After a while, Yang Zhiyuan came in, followed by a boy who was responsible for carrying gifts. He bowed to Lu Shangshu with a dignified attitude: "I have seen you, sir."
Yang Zhiyuan was the son of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he also studied in the Imperial College. After all, it was logical for him to obtain the qualifications of a prisoner by virtue of his father's influence, so it was reasonable to say that he would study in the imperial examination in front of Lu Shangshu.
"There is no need to be polite, what is the business of the young master?" Lu Shangshu was not polite to him. After all, everyone knew what Yang Xuan was like in the court, and he would not look down upon his son.
"I'm disturbing you, sir. It's true that my colleague from the junior school acted too absurdly yesterday and offended the lady of your house. I'm here to apologize."
Yang Zhiyuan spoke sincerely and kept his attitude low, saying that he would not hit the smiling person with his hand. Even if Lu Shangshu was not happy with him, it would be difficult for him to get angry on the spot.
"Young Master is interested, but this gift is not necessary." Lu Shangshu gave the waiter beside him a look and signaled him to invite the boy carrying the gift out.
"My lord, please wait a moment and learn a few words later."
Yang Zhiyuan calmly stopped the waiter who was about to invite someone, cleared his throat and said: "Your Excellency just said that the gift is not necessary. This is wrong. What you mean is what you say after all. If you don't have this great gift, you can make up for it."
, doesn’t it mean that you know your mistakes and don’t correct them?”
"..."
Lu Shangshu was confused by his logic that the preface did not match the postscript, and then he listened to his talk: "A saint has no shame in apologizing to a boy when he makes a mistake. Now that future generations have learned from it, why not give him some gifts?"
"
After listening to Yang Zhiyuan's words, Lu Shangshu temporarily put aside the idea of impeaching the Imperial Academy teacher, and instead asked: "Listen to your wishes, these gifts are for your little daughter...?"
"The person I offended is Miss Lu, so naturally I have to give this gift to Miss Lu."
Yang Zhiyuan ordered people to open the gifts. They contained some jewelry, headdresses, and spices and rouge, all of which were used by women.
As soon as he said this, Lu Xinxin and others who had taken refuge in the cubicle were stunned. Even Lu Qixin was surprised. Although he knew how powerful Jin Yiwei was, he never imagined that it would reach this point...
.
Such a rude gesture naturally made Lord Shangshu quite dissatisfied, but Yang Zhiyuan felt good about it. Although his father's official position was not higher than that of Shangshu Lu, he was Lord Meng behind him. What's behind you?
Yang Zhiyuan's attitude was very clear. He showed off his chariots and horses to disgust people. As we all know the relationship between Lu Shangshu and Lu Zhenfu, he deliberately acted like this to please Jin Yiwei.
Besides, he was here to give gifts to Lu Qixin. Although Lu Zhenfu was also named Lu, he had been expelled from the clan a long time ago. If he tried to please the Lu family again, wouldn't it be flattering?
Unlike the insignificant Lu family, Lu Qixin calls Lu Zhenfu his "brother", and regardless of their relationship, the Zhenfu envoy can personally come forward to rescue the siege. This posture alone is enough for him to personally come to the rescue.
It's time to visit.
"Brother Yang's move seems inappropriate."
Lu Hongwen on the side also spoke at this time. He frowned and said: "Brother is giving gifts in such a big way, how can a mere sister in the family bear it?"
Lu Xinxin, who listened carefully with her ears straightened up, clenched her fists when she heard this, and said to herself that the fourth brother said it well.
"Why can't you bear it? My young master has a beautiful tree in the wind, and your sister has a beautiful face. She is a so-called graceful lady, and a gentleman is fond of spoiling. I don't know what is wrong?" The summary of Yang Zhiyuan's nonsense is, I am happy to give it away, but there is nothing you can do.
"..." Lu Hongwen was speechless.
However, Lu Shangshu had a keen eye and saw at a glance that this cunning boy was planning to please Lu Hanjiang. In this case, he just turned a blind eye.
"Since Young Master Yang has said so, then go ahead and give this gift." Lu Shangshu snorted, rolled up his sleeves and left.
"The adults have good intentions, but later generations are disrespectful."
Yang Zhiyuan was a bachelor and thick-skinned, and had no consciousness of being a bad guest. After seeing Lu Shangshu leave, he immediately went to greet Lu Hongwen: "Brother Lu, I hope you can invite your sister to come and see you."
At this time, the protection between men and women is not very strict. As long as they are not alone, and there are other people present, it is not considered over the limit to meet each other.
When Lu Hongwen met Yang Zhiyuan, he knew from the first moment that the two of them had nothing in common. What could an elegant man with lofty ideals and a playboy who fights as a lackey have anything to say?
But considering this person's shame, if we leave him alone, I'm afraid he will go find him personally, otherwise he will lose his reputation as the most rogue person in the capital.
"Sixth sister, I came out to see Mr. Yang." Lu Hongwen chased after Lu Shangshu after calling him. There were still six and seven elders here, so it's not rude.
Seeing Lu Hongwen's aloof demeanor, Yang Zhiyuan was not annoyed. They were completely different people. He walked on the Sunshine Road, and I went down to the river to row a dragon boat. No one could hinder the other.
A group of girls came out of the compartment, and Yang Zhiyuan saw Lu Xinxin among them at a glance. The delicate little girl was dressed exquisitely and cutely. This outfit formed a sharp contrast with the other sisters.
When Yang Zhiyuan stopped the car yesterday, he knew that the girl from the Lu family was sitting in the car. He didn't even ask who was in the car. Later, when he was frightened by Lu Hanjiang, he didn't dare to look back. Naturally, he couldn't remember which one it was.
When he met Lu Xinxin, following a man's intuition, he immediately picked up the box containing the gift himself and greeted it with a smile on his face: "Oh my, I've long heard that Miss Lu is unparalleled in elegance, and now that I see her, she is indeed the most beautiful girl in the world.
Yaoyao, Zhuo Zhuo's beauty, I actually went blind yesterday, I offended such a beautiful woman, I really deserve to die, deserve to die."
Lu Xinxin had never seen such naked praise before. Her little face immediately turned red, but she was also filled with joy in her heart. She raised her little face, looked at Lu Qixin provocatively, and said: "Sixth Sister, look at this Yang
Since the young master is so sincere, please forgive him."
"Um?"
Yang Zhiyuan was stunned, his eyes swept back and forth between Lu Xinxin and Lu Qixin, he secretly screamed something bad, he hurriedly screamed, freed up a hand to rub his eyes vigorously, frightening all the girls.
Back.
After performing for a while, Yang Zhiyuan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was accidentally blinded by the wind and sand just now, and I recognized the wrong person."
Then, ignoring the stunned Lu Xinxin, he stepped directly in front of Lu Qixin with the box in hand and said with "shock": "The world says that the appearance of the sunken fish is such that its beauty conceals the present and the past, and that the lotus embarrasses the jade face, that Miss Lu
Isn't it true that the immortals descended to earth, and were as bright as the moon covered by light clouds, and fluttering like the drifting snow in the returning wind, which is really rare in the world."
"..." Lu Qixin turned her face away in embarrassment. Even though she was extremely smart, she couldn't resist Yang Zhiyuan's sudden remarks.
Lu Xinxin was so angry that she stamped her feet and ran out, leaving only everyone in the hall looking at each other.
"Please, girl, please accept your kindness." Yang Zhiyuan said.
"The young lady appreciates the young master's kindness, but this gift..."
Just when Lu Qixin was about to refuse, she saw Yang Zhiyuan's expression changed drastically, and the forced smile was uglier than crying: "Miss Lu, please don't refuse. If you think it's not enough, I can send you some more."
Seeing that Lu Qixin was still hesitating, Yang Zhiyuan had no choice but to tell the truth. He said with a sad face: "If the girl really feels that it is inappropriate, you can accept it in advance as a thank you gift. I have a few more things to send to Lu Zhenfu's house."
, but it’s really rude to come to the door so rashly, I have to ask the girl to come forward.”
This is the real reason why Yang Zhiyuan came to the Lu family to give gifts, because he did not give away the gifts from Lu Hanjiang. After all, Mr. Lu always makes mistakes when receiving gifts. Lao Qian will not accept other people's things without receiving the news.
.
When Yang Zhiyuan heard that the gift was rejected, his heart went cold on the spot, so he chose a roundabout way to achieve success.
"..."
Lu Qixin was not stupid, and she quickly figured out Yang Zhiyuan's intention. She hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
