After Lu Hanjiang returned home, Lao Qian immediately welcomed him to the study area. After sending the others away, he pointed out the pile of letters inside to him.
"Okay, I get it."
Lu Hanjiang had a headache when he saw those letters. These were letters sent to him by various forces in the DPRK and China. He knew what was written in them, so he directly ordered Lao Qian: "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to throw it away, so
It’s better to burn them all.”
"All burned?" Lao Qian said hesitantly: "Master, if you don't take a look, maybe there are some..."
"That's not necessary."
Lu Hanjiang waved his hands, not taking these things to heart at all. The prince's wooing was not worth mentioning, and the courtiers' overtures were even more unnecessary. As long as the Jin Yiwei continued to be strong, these wallflowers would never switch sides.
Lu Hanjiang happily accepted the gifts from this group of people, but did not change his view of them. Anyway, it was not the first day that he accepted the money and did nothing.
"By the way, can uncle send someone here?" Lu Hanjiang pushed all the letters on the table into the trash can and then asked.
"Yes," Lao Qian said hurriedly: "The patriarch said he wants to meet with you. Some things are better explained in person."
"I understand," Lu Hanjiang nodded: "When is the date agreed?"
"Master, this time the clan leader will come to visit in person, so you don't need to go there in private." Lao Qian said.
"That's okay." Lu Hanjiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. After sitting down, he asked casually: "Did nothing big happen at home when I was away?"
"Don't worry, sir, even if you are not here, no one dares to provoke the Lu family." Old Qian said a little complacently, but after he laughed, he said another embarrassing thing.
"It's just that the clan side--" Old Qian hesitated, and finally sighed slightly: "Before you come back, sir, there is no money and salt in our house, so those people panicked and went to the clan leader's door.
"
"I know this." Lu Hanjiang was not surprised. The Lu Mansion's path was impassable, so it was reasonable for those people to go around in circles to find Lu Shangshu.
But what Lao Qian said next made him somewhat unexpected. He just heard the other party say: "Not only the patriarch, but also Young Master Lu, he has also attracted a lot of attention recently."
Lu Hanjiang said with some surprise: "Lu Yuanjia? I remember he should still be studying. With his small body, how can he escape from the palms of those old masters?"
Although the teachers at Lu's family school are all old antiques, these old antiques are also very good at practicing the three-foot Qingfeng and Zhengqi swords. When Lu Hanjiang was a child, he had to put a lot of effort into escaping from their classes.
Although Lu Yuanjia was Lu Shangshu's youngest son and had been favored since childhood, he himself did not know any martial arts. Facing these old masters, he would only be beaten and could not escape.
Nowadays, there is a storm in Beijing. With Lu Shangshu's caution, he should not let Lu Yuanjia go out without permission. Since he does not have the approval of the Shangshu and has no ability to escape from the old master, Lu Hanjiang really can't think of how to attract attention to him.
When Lao Qian heard the other party's retort, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He almost forgot that his father was the first person to deviate from the family tradition back then.
However, this speechlessness was quickly forgotten by Lao Qian. He explained to Lu Hanjiang: "It's not Master Yuanjia, but Young Master Sicheng."
"...Who?" Lu Hanjiang was stunned when he suddenly heard this unfamiliar name. He didn't remember who it was for a long time.
Lao Qian was also stunned. He and Lu Hanjiang stared at each other for a long time, and then he said cautiously: "Master, you forgot, he is your younger brother, Young Master Sicheng."
"Brother? When did I...oh."
Lu Hanjiang's eyes showed a look of surprise. He remembered that it seemed that the last time he went back to Lu's house for a family dinner, there was such a kid eating at the same table with him. It turned out that his name was Lu Sicheng.
"So what happened to him?" Lu Hanjiang asked absently.
"Young Master, he..." Lao Qian's expression was a little subtle. He hesitated for a while, and then he finally said everything.
In fact, it was nothing. After Lu Hanjiang recognized his ancestors and returned to the clan, he was no longer alone. His parents were still alive and he had a younger brother.
Since those people in the capital wanted to find a good deal with Jin Yiwei, they naturally had to contact Mr. Lu first, but Mr. Lu's dragon was nowhere to be seen, so they had to find another way and find Lu Shangshu.
But some people thought that although Lu Shangshu was Lord Lu's elder, he was not close enough, so they went a step further and directly found Lu Hanjiang's younger brother, Lu Sicheng.
Lu Sicheng is indeed the younger brother of Lu Hanjiang's mother. He also disliked studying since he was a child. He never spent a single day in school peacefully after being educated at home.
It's just that Commander Lu doesn't like reading. That's because he doesn't like to read Confucian classics and historical collections. He is not bad at all in other knowledge, but Lu Sicheng doesn't like reading. He is really too lazy to learn.
As a blood brother of the Jin Yiwei of the current dynasty, Lu Sicheng had no official position or position, but he was followed by countless people. Who could have a good brother?
And since Lu Hanjiang returned to the clan, the status of this young master Lu has also risen sharply. Among other things, none of the children from high-ranking families in the capital dare to mess with this kid.
This also allowed Lu Sicheng to develop a lawless character, and he began to fly all the way on the road of a playboy. At present, he has successfully surpassed many other seniors such as Yang Zhiyuan, and successfully obtained the position of No. 1 Young Master in the capital.
In the land of Gyeonggi, under the emperor's feet, I don't know if the earth is good or not, but there are definitely a lot of outstanding people. It is quite disgusting to be a dandy in this kind of place, and that is what Lu Sicheng is like now.
But because of Lu Hanjiang's existence, no one dared to provoke him. Under the vicious cycle, although there was the restraint of the Lu family to prevent Lu Sicheng from being too ridiculous, it had little effect.
As for this younger brother, after hearing what Lao Qian said, Commander Lu happened to have his only designated friend Yang Zhiyuan come to visit, so Lu Hanjiang pulled him and asked him about the same thing.
Yang Zhiyuan initially thought that the other party was asking for help. After hearing what he understood, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he also looked slightly bitter: "Sir, since you asked, the little one naturally knew everything. We didn't mean to drag your brother.
If you don’t learn well, to be honest, your vision is very high and you won’t look down on us at all.”
It's not that Yang Zhiyuan is giving people eye drops, but that they really can't get into the eyes of Young Master Lu.
In general, although this young master has benefited from his elder brother and uses the tiger skin of Jinyiwei as a banner, he himself is quite disdainful of these "privileges".
In the eyes of others, although he has long been reduced to the status of a dandy, he regards himself as a "clean stream" and does not look down upon people like Jin Yiwei who wield power and domineeringly, both covertly and covertly.
So it wasn't Yang Zhiyuan who led Lu Sicheng into trouble. From the beginning, he looked down on Yang Zhiyuan, the son of a young minister, and even caused embarrassment to him.
After listening to what the two of them said, Lu Hanjiang probably had some understanding of this little brother who had no impression of him.
"Maybe it will come in handy." Lu Hanjiang suddenly said these words as the two looked at each other incomprehensibly.
