Tian Heng seemed to have already guessed that Lu Shanmin would make this request, smiled, and then shook his head, "Even when I met you today, it was under the guise of Wei Wuxian. If the old man met you in person, the nature would be different.
Even if we are just chatting, it will make other people's imaginations wander. As I said just now, in many cases, it is not one person in the Tian family who has the final say on matters involving family interests."
Lu Shanmin frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Tian met me today just to talk about personal feelings with me."
Tian Heng smiled and said, "On the one hand, I really want to meet the idol's son." He paused and said, "On the other hand, I also want to advise you."
Lu Shanmin chuckled, "Is it just like your grandfather advised my dad back then?"
Tian Heng smiled slightly, "The Nalan family is not as simple as you think. It is different from the Xue family in Jiangzhou. Behind any big family in Tianjing, there is an extremely powerful foundation, and this foundation is not just about wealth.
Even if the Nalan family is now divided into two, with your connections and background in Tianjing, there is absolutely no way you can harm it. The more you do, the more mistakes you make, the more flaws you expose, and you end up with nothing but
Worse."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Is this considered advice from a friend?"
Tian Heng chuckled, his laughter still hearty, "Tianjing people are born with a sense of superiority. Even the cleaning ladies who sweep the streets will look down on outsiders from the bottom of their hearts, even if the outsiders are sitting in a BMW."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Shanmin and said, "You can imagine how the wealthy and noble people in Tianjing will feel about you. The people who come tonight are all elite children of major families. They are relatively qualified and can perform to a certain extent.
You should restrain your words and deeds. If you meet other children, they may not even bother to look at you. Your father lost back then because of this. In such a big environment, whether it is your father or you, what do you do with Nalan?
Family fight".
Lu Shanmin smiled faintly, "After coming to Tianjing, I met Wei Wuxian and Han Yao. I originally thought that you rich and nobles were very powerful and had a broader mind than ordinary people. I blamed myself for being a villain and judging a gentleman.
"Hey, tonight it seems that I am too broad-minded and too naive. But no matter what you think of me, I have never felt that I am inferior to you."
Tian Heng smiled and said, "Don't involve me, I'm different from them."
Lu Shanmin turned to look at Tian Heng and said bluntly: "That's because you think you are different. You are aloof and say what you just said from the perspective of the savior.
What’s the difference between those so-called well-intentioned advice and theirs?”
Tian Heng's smile froze on his face, he was silent for a long time, and then laughed loudly, "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lu Shanmin said calmly: "You must think that I am a short-sighted person with no big ideas. In fact, I am indeed such a person. You can put friendship second for the sake of profit, but I can't do it. Those who died for me
People cannot die in vain. Although I don’t have any dreams or pursuits, they do. Your responsibility is to protect the interests of the family, and I also have my responsibility, which is to realize their dreams and pursuits for them."
Tian Heng looked at Lu Shanmin blankly, as if he was getting acquainted with him again. After a long time, he said calmly: "I take back what I said before, you have the heroic spirit of your father."
Lu Shanmin looked at Tian Heng with a smile. Although he was wary of Tian Heng, he still instinctively liked him. "Thank you for taking the time to calm down and tell me this."
Tian Heng waved his hand, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Shanmin, "I just gave it a casual advice, knowing that I couldn't do it. I only heard about the old things back then, and the elders in the family may not have told them all.
Although you can’t see my grandpa without me, you can go and meet this person, she should know more than me.”
Lu Shanmin took the business card and wrote three big words "Cihang'an" on it with a pen.
"This is tonight's jackpot"?
Tian Heng smiled, "Isn't this exactly what you want?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tian."
Tian Heng patted Lu Shanmin on the shoulder and said, "If you want, you can call me Brother Tian."
.........
.........
Back in the hall, people inside were either admiring the spring scenery in the yard, or going to chat privately in twos and threes. Lu Songtao was the only one in the hall.
Seeing Tian Heng and Lu Shanmin coming back, Lu Songtao came out quickly with a smile.
"Brother mountain people, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Tian Heng glanced at Lu Shanmin and said with a smile: "You two have a good calligraphy competition, and I won't disturb your enjoyment."
Lu Songtao chuckled, took Lu Shanmin's arm and walked inside.
The Four Treasures of the Study have already been placed on the long table in the center of the hall.
Lu Songtao personally handed a big wolf brush to Lu Shanmin, "Brother Lu, I have already sharpened the brush. Please give me some advice."
Lu Shanmin looked at Lu Songtao for a moment, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Lu Songtao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled warmly, completely different from his previous arrogant attitude.
"Song Huizong loved calligraphy but not the country. What's more, I am an ordinary person. Compared to the intrigues of money and power, I prefer the purity of calligraphy. I have always been disgusted with such gatherings. If it weren't for the oppression of my family, my eldest brother has been busy and busy for a long time.
If I can’t come, I don’t want to participate at all.”
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Second Master Lu, then I will show my shame."
Lu Songtao smiled and made a gesture of invitation, staring intently at Lu Shanmin's hand holding the pen.
Lu Shanmin held a wolf pen in his hand, which was soaked in ink. He hung the pen in the air and did not start writing immediately. A drop of ink fell on the rice paper and smeared out.
I closed my eyes slightly and meditated for a long time. After a while, I slowly opened my eyes. With a flick of my wrist, my pen fell down, like a dragon and snake swimming on the paper, like a tiger rushing out of the forest, and like a blade cutting across the sky and earth. It was all done in one go!
I saw a poem written on the rice paper, which was "Chrysanthemum" by Huang Chao.
Wait until autumn comes on September 8th,
After my flowers bloom, they will be killed.
The incense array reaches the sky and penetrates Chang'an,
The whole city is covered with golden armor.
Lu Songtao's eyes were full of enthusiasm and joy that could not be concealed. His palm stopped over the words and slowly passed over them, as if he was stroking an extremely precious treasure, and he did not dare to touch it lightly.
"Okay, okay, okay,,,"
Lu Songtao bent over and read each word carefully, speaking countless good words one after another. From a few lines of words, he seemed to see a young man holding a long sword, facing a million troops alone, proudly
Standing there, it seemed as if he saw the young man charging into the millions of soldiers without hesitation, invincible, his armor stained with blood and never retreating. It seemed as if he saw the young man killing millions of soldiers and standing at the top of the majestic imperial city.
Lu Songtao watched for nearly half an hour. He stood up and looked at Lu Shanmin blankly. He suddenly felt that Lu Shanmin was so tall and mighty, and suddenly realized that the calligraphy achievements he was proud of were just arty and careless moans.
