Lu Sanlang was so excited that he almost exploded, but when he left, he hung his head. Zhang Shou strictly forbade him to leak the news, and even gagged him on the charge of leaking the forbidden words. However, he was always fat and easy-going, and when he left Zhang Garden and rode on his horse, he immediately became excited again.
"I can't tell you now. How can I hide it when we really start doing it? Fortunately, Qi Liang went to Wang Datou's place, so no one can compete with me for the first credit... But Qi Liang would definitely prefer to work hard for Wang Datou. If he goes against the elders in the court, he will definitely push me to take the lead! Hehehe, have my father and my elder and second brothers ever thought that I would still have such a glorious life!"
"Who made me the first headmaster of Jiuzhangtang? When the second and third batches come in, I will be the great senior?"
The more Sanlang Lu thought about it, the more proud he became. The more proud he became, the more he thought about it. In the end, his muttering almost turned into dancing. Fortunately, the few followers who followed him were all sent by Madam Lu to follow him since they were young. They were used to the endless thoughts and unexpected behaviors of the Third Young Master, so they just pretended not to see it.
Even though they heard Lu Sanlang mentioning the master and the other two young masters in his muttering, they still pretended to be deaf and dumb and followed silently. Finally, the complacent Lu Sanlang finally realized his own loss of composure, coughed hard twice, and sat up straight again. One of them stepped forward and whispered, "Young master, didn't the master send a letter this morning asking you to go home early tonight?"
Lu Sanlang had just been imagining the future with Zhang Shou, so how could he have thought about his original plan? Although he felt a little nervous at this moment, he still said nonchalantly: "It's okay, Dad is just dealing with trivial matters. Not only does he have people from Jiuzhang Hall to keep busy with him, but he also has Xie Wanquan to work like a slave for him. How can he care about me! Besides, there are still my elder and second brothers."
Several followers all laughed in their hearts. What about the other two young masters? One had originally finished studying at the Imperial Academy and was about to be appointed as an official, and the other was waiting to be promoted to a full-time position as an imperial censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But now that the master has stepped down, the two have no idea what their next official position will be. They are like ants on a hot pot, and they can no longer put on their former airs in front of the third young master.
As one thing grows, another shrinks. How could Lu Sanlang not be proud when he is still as comfortable as a fish in water without his father's care
The group escorted Lu Sanlang back to the gate of the Lu Mansion, and there was a small piece of red on the gate. One of the gatekeepers came forward to help Lu Sanlang to lead the horse. After helping the heavy little fat man down, he rushed to say, "Third Master, why did you come back so late? The master has sent people to ask several times. Your future in-law Liu has been here for a long time..."
The fat boy who was originally smiling and laughing suddenly became dumbfounded. Future father-in-law? Liu Qing's father? No way, his father asked him to come back early today just for something like this... Why didn't he tell me earlier!
The fat boy's calmness turned into nervous sweat. He almost threw the reins away, then lifted the front of his robe and rushed in. As a result, the doorman, who had only said half of his words and had not had time to show off the second half, was stunned.
Third Master, it's no use for you to run away. What I want to say is that I've been here for a long time, and I can't wait for you, so I'll go back first... You rushed in so hastily, and the master might get angry and beat you up! Don't take your anger out on me later, who told me to run away before I could finish what I was saying? Why are you so impatient
