"This is the house of Lu Sanlang's father, Lu Wan, the Minister of War."
Sitting on the carriage, listening to Zhu Ying's words, Zhang Shou looked out through the gap in the curtains and saw that the width of the road was not inferior to the street in front of Zhao Guogong's Mansion. It was just like the carriage they pulled over.
There were many other cars and horses parked, and the liveliness alone was several levels higher than that of the Zhu family. However, despite the hustle and bustle, the surroundings seemed orderly.
At least, there was no scene like the one in front of the Ge Mansion where people surrounded the concierge and made endless noises.
But you must know that military officers who are seeking promotion or transfer should be more arrogant than literati when it comes to cheating!
Just looking at this scene, Zhang Shou once again raised his expectations for the Minister of the Ministry of War. Being able to maintain such an order while being a bustling crowd, this person's ability to manage his family and people is indeed pretty good.
But Zhu Ying didn't care about this. She came up and looked out of Zhang Shou's window, and then whispered: "Look, the second brother has already gone to the door with Zhu Gongquan!"
Today, those who came out in the car were not only Zhan Jin, one of Zhu Ying's two confidants, but also Mother Jiang, who was beside the wife. Zhu Ying originally did not want to take the latter with her, but Mother Jiang blocked the carriage directly in the stable and waited with the carriage.
She couldn't get rid of him even if he came to the Weeping Flower Gate.
At this time, seeing Zhu Ying so close to Zhang Shou, poor Zhang Xiaolang could only sit back as hard as he could without squinting. The two couldn't help exchanging glances with each other until Zhu Ying hurriedly sat back as if she had just woken up from a dream, with a rosy complexion.
It was obviously abnormal, so they smiled secretly.
Zhang Shou didn't want to comment on Zhu Ying's behavior that could easily be misunderstood as "teasing". He coughed and forcibly changed the topic: "Yingying, I was so anxious to come out just now that I didn't even ask you. How did you convince Zhu Gongquan?
"
Zhu Ying also tried to get over the embarrassing scene just now and quickly followed Zhang Shou's topic.
"That's not easy. I told him, don't think that there is no god watching you when you look up. There are many bright eyes in my family! My father and eldest brother are not here, so he can fool my second brother? Humph, that's me
Grandma deliberately let it go, wanting to see what he wanted to do! Has he left few clues over the years? Throwing it out would be enough to ruin his reputation and make him irrecoverable!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying had chosen such an entry point, Zhang Shou nodded and lowered his voice and asked, "What's the reason for him?"
"I didn't know!" Zhu Ying said four words bluntly. Seeing Zhang Shou's eyes widening, she explained calmly, "Of course I deceived him on purpose! Such a scheming person,
If you say he can think ten sentences, I don't believe he can be so clean that there is no dust at all. After I said this, his face was as white as paper."
Such a simple and crude but effective method is indeed suitable for young ladies only...
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but he also praised Zhu Ying a few words. Thinking about how he once again played the role of a confidant in front of Zhu Er, it was like training a dog and a cat at the same time, using both soft and hard skills, kindness and power.
, it took a lot of effort, and he wanted to sigh. It wasn't until he saw that Zhu Er had brought Zhu Gongquan to the door of Lu Mansion that he immediately concentrated on it.
In front of the Lu Mansion, facing the concierge blocking the way, Zhu Er tried his best to put on a fierce expression: "It's true that your master and I didn't make an agreement in advance, but I'm not here to see him, I'm here to see Lu San
Fat! How did this damn fat man agree to me in the first place? I believed him, but it’s good for him to go all the way to Rongshui Village to be a student of a country boy, and he doesn’t feel ashamed!”
It was just a show at first, but as he continued to curse, Zhu Er became really angry.
He and Lu Sanpang were once like-minded brothers, otherwise they wouldn't have wanted to "entrust" the daughter of their father and grandmother to each other. But they agreed that we would be one generation and two brothers, but you suddenly turned into mathematicians
Genius, what's going on?
Seeing that the concierge was prevaricating with a bitter look on his face, Zhu Er's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Lu Sanfatty, don't try to hide, get out of here! I can't do anything to you in Rongshui Village, and I can't do anything to you in the Imperial College, but you still want to avoid seeing me when you go home, how can it be so cheap?
It's something! You...you still owe me a thousand taels of silver and haven't paid it back!"
Zhu Er's acting skills were so exaggerated that Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. As for Zhu Ying, the eldest lady had already laughed so much that she fell into the arms of Mother Jiang next to her: "Why don't you go and grab the thousand taels of silver that Lu Sanlang owes him?"
He, a poor guy, has borrowed a lot of money from me and has not repaid me. How can he possibly lend Lu Sanlang money again... Anyone who believes in him is a pig!"
Zhu Gongquan, who was following Zhu Er, didn't need to pretend, his face was turning blue and white - half of it was because he had been intimidated by Zhu Ying before, and the other half was because he was angry with Zhu Er, who he once considered to be the next generation head of Zhao Guogong's house.
——Even if he knew that Zhu Er didn't have much of a head-of-household temperament, but our young master would actually say such embarrassing words, his face would be lost!
He could only step forward and try his best to stop him and said: "Second Young Master, if you have something to say, why don't you wait until you see Lu Shangshu to talk slowly..."
"I have nothing to say to Lu Sanpang's father. I want to see Lu Sanpang! If I don't beat him to death, he will think that I, Zhu Er, are easy to bully!"
In the concierge of the Lu Mansion, someone had already seen that the situation was not good and went inside to report the news. At this time, several others also hurriedly came forward and said a lot of good things. However, Zhu Er was a famous criminal in the capital in the past.
He is a man of pure temperament. Today he was "educated" in the Imperial College and Zhang Shou "persuaded" him at Zhao Guogong's Mansion. He drank half a gourd of wine in the car before and simply half-truthed and half-falsely went drunk.
"No one can persuade me. If I don't see Fatty Lu today, I won't be able to stay in your Lu family!"
In the study outside the Lu Mansion, when he heard the report below, Lu Wan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was always good at dancing, rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably. He thought that the youngest son had really made progress, so he specially asked someone to escort him back and let Lu Sanlang
After reading the secret letter, Lu Sanlang became confused after reading it. He had a big quarrel with him but didn't get any results, which wasted his last expectation.
What is academic talent? It’s just a trick created by the Zhu family to fool people!
"Take Zhu Er to see Lu Zhu. Even if he smashes Lu Zhu's place, he doesn't have to bother me again!"
The eldest and second son of the Lu family, who were standing next to Lu Wan, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile proudly.
Of course they don't believe it to say that the fat pig that none of them look down on is a math genius, but to say that Zhu Er knows how to advance and retreat knowing shame and general knowledge is even more nonsense! Those two dudes bumped into each other.
Together, we might really have to fight...
But afterwards, no matter how this incident is said, it can be used as a basis to impeach Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing for teaching his son improperly and for committing crimes!
"By the way, since it's Zhu Gongquan who came with the second son of the Zhu family, he will look for an opportunity to bring him to see me soon!"
Zhu Gongquan persuaded Zhu Er half-heartedly. Seeing that the smell of alcohol was making several concierges run away, but there was no reply from inside, he couldn't help but become more and more anxious, his eyes frequently drifting to the long door outside the Lu Mansion.
He walked around the wall, but could not find the carriage Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou might be riding in. Finally, he heard a voice coming from his ears.
"Second Young Master, aren't you looking for my Third Young Master? If you have anything to say, I will take you there, take you there!"
Following the voice, a steward from the Lu Mansion came out quickly. He bowed to Zhu Er with a smile, and then personally led the way with a smile. It was only then that Lu Sanlang let out a loud belch.
He followed up with a sullen face.
As for Zhu Gongquan, he was about to say something, but the cold feeling behind him lingered like maggots on the tarsus. Thinking that Zhu Ying had mentioned the power of the young man behind him, he could only follow him resignedly.
After him, there followed an ordinary young man in a green hat. The steward who led the way just glanced at the person and withdrew his gaze without interest. It was expected that the prospective son-in-law of the Zhu family would not be able to do anything even if he made any more surprising moves.
As for pretending to be a follower and sneaking in!
The evil star Ah Liu entered the Lu Mansion in a dignified manner.
