In the study room next to the signing and deposit room in the second hall, the old and the young rarely take a break from their lives, sitting on two chairs, one stool and one chess block, talking with hands hidden. The chess pier was placed on the small stool, and the two players could only hold their respective chess boxes. At first, they heard that a fierce battle was imminent here, and even a group of big men from Beiliang, including the former official Fang Li Gongde and the household Fang Baiyu, all came forward. When they came to watch the battle, some military counselors who had nothing to do for the time being came together in a mighty company, which made the study room even have no place to stand. One of the chess players, the young vassal king is not only Li Yishan's high apprentice, but is also regarded as the younger brother of Xu Weixiong, a great player of the 11th stage. It has long been rumored that Xu Fengnian is indeed extremely tough in chess, and as the opponent of the young vassal king, Wang Jijiu is a well-educated Confucian like a master in Liyang's literary world, and Xu Weixiong's mentor. Although there has never been a famous chess game handed down to the world, everyone thinks that Wang Jijiu's chess skills are not as good as those of the sky. Xu Weixiong, against the young feudal lord, presumably it should also be a match between the good and the good.
Especially when the old man is holding a white hand, the elegant demeanor of rolling his sleeves and twisting his hand is really dazzling. He deserves to be the second chair of the Shangyin Academy, a sage and moral master who studies heaven and man.
Probably the old man was so imposing and divine that almost no one saw the helplessness and blank eyes of the challenged young feudal lord.
The informal Mr. Bai Lian squatted next to the chess pier, wishing to put his eyes on the chessboard.
Like Chang Sui, Xu Huang and Xu Weixiong, Jin Baoshi, one of Han Guzi's high disciples, stood behind the old man without any expectations. She didn't want to come here to make a fool of herself, but she just couldn't stand the old man who was not a cultivator. Bad fights, that's why I was pulled over to strengthen my courage. In the words of the old man, the old man and Xu Fengnian are equal in chess strength, and the victory or defeat is between five and five. . However, Jin Baoshi knows the old man's chess skills very well, and he is really a stinky chess basket. Not to mention that he is far away from his senior sister Xu Weixiong. She can also kill the old man when he plays chess with him, for sure. Ever victorious.
But Jin Baoshi and Xu Fengnian knew the truth of the old guy, and everyone in the room crowded their heads on the window and didn't know it. Therefore, after more than a dozen moves in white and black, Bai Yu, who was proficient in chess, frowned and was at a loss. , Those guys who are kept in the dark think it's really fucking mysterious. Wang Jijiu is worthy of being a master of the world. Not only does it return to the original, but also has a long aftertaste. It must be extremely clever. They must be short-sighted and can't see the old man How could the far-reaching layout of the old man's lack of strength be a random move? !
After about 30 moves, Li Gongde had already rolled his eyes and left with his hands behind his back. Many counselors who saw the way of the game also left silently with strange expressions. Over time, when the chess game came to an end, only the sitting The chess players, Bai Yu who is squatting, and Jin Baoshi who is standing are just four people.
Feeling that the situation is going well, the old man turned his head and said triumphantly to Jin Baoshi: "Girl, how about it, this old man's nickname of 'Wang Tietou' who is a chess master all over the world is definitely not for nothing, right? The chess power is so fierce! Take a look at our lord, retreat step by step, there is no way to fight back!"
The old man said to himself: "Come on, I'll change my nickname from now on and call it 'Wang Tieqi'. It's exactly the same as the Beiliang Tieqi, and its combat power is the best in the world."
Then the old man smiled and looked down at Bai Yu, "Mr. Bai Lian, you have been squatting on the ground for a long time, are you deeply intoxicated by it? Don't worry, the old man can understand."
Bai Yu raised his head expressionlessly, "My feet are numb, I can't stand up."
The corner of the old man's mouth twitched and he snorted coldly.
Xu Fengnian fell silently, and slaughtered a huge dragon, but Bai Zi suddenly ended up miserable.
Youzai Youzai, the young feudal lord, picked up the fallen chess pieces from the chessboard and threw them one by one into the chess box placed on the old man's lap.
The old man who came back from the stunned state was about to reach out his hand to stop him, but the young vassal king squinted and said: "Why, you want to regret the game? It's okay to regret the game this time, don't even think about coming to the study to play chess with me again."
After weighing the pros and cons, the old man laughed and said, "This chess game is magnificent and ingenious. Even though I lose, I am honored!"
Bai Yu finally stood up with great difficulty, bent over and rubbed his legs, and said to himself: "If I come to this study to watch people play chess again in the future, I will poke my eyes."
The old man turned a deaf ear and still looked satisfied.
Jin Baoshi chose a chair to sit next to the chess pier and helped them pack the chess pieces.
The old man hugged the chess box with both hands, suppressed his smile, and asked, "Do you know what Nalan Youci is planning?"
Xu Fengnian put the chess box on the corner of the chess pier, "Generally, he wants me to help King Yanchi and his son hold back the Prairie Cavalry Army for at least a year and a half."
Wang Jijiu said in a deep voice, "You agreed?"
Xu Fengnian leaned forward and twiddled a chess piece with his fingers, and said with a calm smile: "This kind of thing can't be said to agree or not, because it's meaningless. If you agree, do you really believe that Xinliyang will treat the Beiliang frontier army well? No Promise, don’t tell me the Beiliang iron cavalry won’t fight the barbarians of Beimang?”
Wang Jijiu's words were shocking, and Jin Baoshi, who was bending over to collect the chess pieces, trembled in horror, "Then, have you ever thought about meeting the old woman in private, causing trouble to come to the east? Jump, let Zhao Bing, Zhao Zhu and his son, who are in charge of Tai'an City, clean up the mess? Beiliang sits and reaps the benefits of the fisherman, not to mention other things, at worst, it can save people from death."
Xu Fengnian said frankly, "Thought about it."
Jin Baoshi's eyes widened, and his face turned pale instantly.
Xu Fengnian smiled, "But it's just a thought."
The old man's expression was gloomy, and he stared intently at the eyes of the young feudal lord, trying to find some clues.
The old man let out a foul breath, "Dare to ask why?"
Xu Fengnian gently put the chess piece at his fingertips back into the chess box, "People in the world can hardly distinguish between right and wrong. In the world, there is right and wrong."
The old man said impatiently: "You kid, to put it simply, don't try to play tricks just because Jin girl is here. To be honest, even if this girl is willing to like you, do you dare to like her?"
Jin Baoshi blushed and glared at the old man.
Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "To put it simply, it's very simple. If Xu Xiao is still alive, facing the pressure of millions of cavalry in Beimang, will he secretly go to the old woman and tell the old woman that you take soldiers and horses to fight Gu Jiantang? Shall we recklessly truce?"
The old man said angrily: "This is different. Xu Xiao is Xu Xiao. That old woman liked your father back then. Your father, a big man, couldn't hold back his face and didn't want to talk about it. It's so strange, but you, Xu Fengnian, are different. !"
Xu Fengnian answered the wrong question, looked at the old man, and asked: "Beiliang cavalry don't fight the enemy, are they still Beiliang cavalry?"
The old man slapped the chess box on the chess pier with both hands, and reprimanded: "It's almost death, what kind of hero are you still doing?!"
Xu Fengnian's expression was as usual, "You might as well ask the Beiliang frontier army about this question, and ask them whether they agree or not. The first battle of Liangmang was held at Hutou City in Liangzhou, under Qingcang City in Liuzhou, and inside Hulukou in Youzhou. Jun, it’s not that death is imminent, but it’s already dead. It’s useless for you to tell me that you can reduce the number of deaths.”
The old man scolded: "They are all idiots!"
Xu Fengnian said angrily: "Don't rely on the old to sell the old, I really beat you!"
The old man turned his neck and made a spatula gesture, "Come on, you boy, come here!"
Xu Fengnian immediately said with a playful smile: "Don't dare, come here, let's play another game of chess, and I will keep you winning!"
The old man doubted, "Really?"
Xu Fengnian said solemnly: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
The old man immediately turned sentimental, "Girl Jin, don't clean up, I will fight this well-deserved Yilin master one more round, just watch me kill all sides."
The second game of chess is over soon.
The old man who was slaughtered again angrily got up, waved his sleeves and left, not even the chess box.
Jin Baoshi didn't take back the chess pier and chess box, but secretly extended a thumbs up to the young feudal king before leaving the study.
Xu Fengnian laughed it off.
At this moment, a prison spy came to the study room and said softly, "Vice-du envoy Lu brought seven children of the Lu family to visit."
Xu Fengnian rubbed his eyebrows, nodded and said: "Let them come here."
…
The Lu family in Qingzhou used to be a well-deserved Jing'an Daoist family, with luxuriant branches and leaves, especially in the early years under the shade of the towering tree Lu Feichi, the old patriarch of Shangzhu Kingdom, it can be said to be full of vitality. Among the youth members of the Lu family, it is still known as the most outstanding scholar in the Lu family.
It’s just that the initial period when the family moved to Beiliang Dao was quite bumpy. No matter whether it was in Liangzhou officialdom or Beiliang’s literary world, the Lu’s children had no achievements. Rumor has it that the father-daughter relationship with the future princess of Qingliang Mountain is also extremely sensitive. For the more than 400 members of the Lu family, this is tantamount to making matters worse. Those confused years are the last thing Lu's children want to recall In the bleak situation, even the innocent and innocent children in the family are being influenced by the elders, their laughter is getting less and less, and they will be reprimanded loudly by the depressed elders for their slightest innocuous behavior, and their crying is increasing.
Originally, the Lu family's mansion in Liangzhou was full of rich and wealthy friends by relying on its strong family background. It only took a short year for it to be sparsely populated by cars and horses. However, it was also the in-laws of the Xu family in Qingliangshan, and the merchant royal family from Qingzhou. There are no white people, even the two ranches in Xianli Tianjing are busy with Wang's children. Wang Linquan, who was originally the richest man in Qingzhou, was privately called the God of Wealth by Beiliang officials, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Gongde, the God of Wealth.
This man, he is not afraid that everyone is the same as the end of the world, but he is afraid of comparing goods. The prosperity of the Wang family makes the Lu family more and more disgruntled. It is said that there was a man who was squeezed out by his colleagues when he first entered the Liangzhou government office. The proud son of the Lu family, with a bruised nose and swollen face, threatened to return to his hometown angrily, and said to his uncle Lu Dongjiang, "I would rather be a ghost of Qingzhou than a dog of Beiliang".
All of this, as Lu Chengyan was formally finalized as the future concubine of Beiliang, suddenly changed. First, a handsome Lu family was able to assume the real power position in the construction of Jubei City. The ice-breaking beginning of the re-emergence of Beiliang's officialdom. Later, Lu Dongjiang, who was the backbone of the huge family, was even more prosperous as an official. Lu Kebo, a famous scholar in his early ten years old, is considered the youngest leader of the local civil servants.
This time, Lu Dongjiang rushed from Lingzhou to Jubei City. The convoy brought six young people from the Lu family. The Lu family has four houses, and at least one person from each house has won this honor. In addition to Lu Chengsong, a leader of the younger generation who was originally an official in the northern city, Lu Dongjiang followed a total of seven young people behind him, led by a military counselor wearing a green shirt with a seal and ribbon, to the second hall for summer heat The study next door. Lu Dongjiang deliberately asked Lu Chengsong to walk side by side with him. The latter has now officially become a full-time official from Duzhi, who is temporarily in charge of food and grass in the new city, and his rank has changed from turbid to clear. Longmen. Therefore, the deputy economic envoy who had already placed high hopes on Lu Chengsong, with a smile on his lips, listened to the Lu family's son telling some anecdotes about rejecting the North City, and nodded frequently, unable to conceal his relief.
After the central plains were unified, the Liyang court, which had suffered from the separatist rule of the feudal towns, devolved far less power than consolidating power. Remove the prince who made the king and the feudal vassal. Absolutely no right to start a government, arbitrarily selecting aides to serve as court officials with low-quality products, it is a serious crime to travel thousands of miles. It's just that Beiliang is always an exception. Whether it's the Liangzhou frontier army or the officialdom in Guanzhong, as long as they are up to the third rank, the old and new generations of vassal kings will turn a blind eye to it, and always let those few Civil and military dignitaries opened their mansions and elected their own staff. Qingliangshan and the Duhu Mansion would basically approve the meaningful "ke" word red. Beiliang is an exception, and Lu Dongjiang is no exception. It's just that the Deputy Economic and Strategic Envoy is a famous scholar who is well-known in the scholarly circle. He cherishes feathers, and he didn't promote the members of the Lu family as high-ranking officials too much. There are more than ten people here and there. , most of them are small officials who have just entered the Qingliu rank, probably this can be regarded as repaying the son-in-law surnamed Xu.
The young man walking at the end of the line is from the fourth family of the Lu family. There are very few males in the fourth family. They were sluggish when their ancestor Lu Feichi was alive. This young man named Lu Chengqing really took advantage of the tall one Otherwise, if it was a younger brother from another house, it would be his turn to show his face in that study. Lu Chengqing has been unknown in the Lu family since he was a child, with mediocre aptitude and mediocre literary talent. Lu Dongjiang naturally regards him as a dull junior who can't be used much. However, he has a gentle temperament and never causes trouble, which is also reassuring. , This time I came to Jubei City to meet the vassal, and I brought along this silent young man whose father died very early.
Lu Chengqing hung alone on the tail of the team, his steps were steady, his eyes fixed, he didn't have the curious look of other young people of the same generation, and he didn't have the complacent look of the two Lu's children in front of him.
Different from Lu Chengsong who rose to fame, and also different from those, after Lu Chengqing moved to Beiliang with his family, he still devoted himself to studying sage books behind closed doors, so when the Lu family fell into a slump, this young scholar who had no backer in the family was lost At the very least, when the Lu family was rising rapidly, he did not take advantage of the little love that his father had accumulated with his eldest son to ask for an official position from the head of the family, Lu Dongjiang, who "hangs his hands full of seals and ribbons". Going to Qingludong Academy in Youzhou to concentrate on studying, life is still ordinary, and even up to now no classmates know his Lu family identity. When classmates get together to criticize current events, point out the country, and sing plainly, there has never been him, Lu Chengqing. This time a letter from the family asked him to leave early to go outside the customs, so Lu Chengqing came, carrying only a bookcase on his back, gritted his teeth and hired a carriage, and then waited alone in the market town outside the city for the mighty Deputy Jiedu A group of people, Lu Chenghe, who was the same age of Sanfang at that time, learned that there were no high-ranking officials in Jubei City to greet them, and complained that Jubei City was too careless. Said that the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came forward to greet him, at least there should be a servant of the Ministry of Rites waiting outside the city. Lu Chengqing, who was ridiculed by his peers as an elm bump, still watched this with a cold eye as always, only listening but not talking or doing anything.
The vassal king's study next to Qiushu hall is not big, only four chairs, one for the young vassal king, and of course Lu Dongjiang has one. Can occupy one, the last one, after Lu Dongjiang took his seat, he signaled Lu Chenghe to sit down with his eyes, but in addition to the meaning of the elders encouraging the younger, there was also a reminder not to make extravagant problems in the eyes. This Lu Chenghe is the son of the Lu family who resigned as an official in the Liangzhou Yamen. This is an elegant and beautiful talk that has caused a sensation among scholars. Lu Dongjiang has been fond of Lu Chenghe for a long time. He once personally praised him as the Lu family's Gao Biaolang. When Lu Chenghe was young, Lu Dongjiang did not hesitate to advocate for him in the literary circles of Jing'an Dao. Lu Chenghe did live up to everyone's expectations, and earned himself the nickname of a small talker. He is the only young man who can compete with the relatively more pragmatic Lu Chengsong. People, as for the dull and seldom-spoken Lu Chengqing, I am afraid that he is not qualified to be looked at by two handsome men of the same generation.
There are four chairs in a study room. The young vassal king stood at the door and stood up to greet them. After leading them into the room, he stood behind the extremely ordinary desk with a smile and pressed down with his hand. After all the young people were seated, the young feudal lord sat down slowly.
The study is not big, but there are many books and files, and there is no ice basin filled with ice placed in the corner. Even if the young vassal has opened the window before, it will inevitably be a little cramped and hot. The children of the family were not used to it. Several young people standing behind Lu Chengsong and Lu Chenghe in Lu Dongjiang looked at the study room out of the corner of their eyes, and they were a little surprised. The official study room used by the majestic feudal lord to handle important military affairs was also too simple. Well, it can be described as shabby.
In the early years, they were far away in Qingzhou, Jing'an Road, and they were very curious about the rumored luxury of the Indus Courtyard in Beiliang. There was an interesting incident in the literary circles of the Central Plains. As an official, Xiao was the most important thing in his life. After retiring to the countryside, he made it the first thing in his life to denigrate the affairs of the northern Liang Dynasty. Playing and feasting, was praised by Dao Wenlin in the south of the Yangtze River as "writing the inner affairs of the Fuguimen courtyard with melodious charm, which can be said to be full of gold and jade". However, it was unknown how it spread to the bitter cold and northern coolness, so His Royal Highness sent a letter to the old man's mansion, roughly It means that you, an old man from a poor family, have never touched the threshold of wealth and honor in your whole life. The whole article is full of gold and jade, which is unbearably vulgar. At the end, you also give a gift of "a thousand sounds of rain hitting plantains, and sitting and watching ten thousand koi tails". I mean, it is undoubtedly that you, an old guy who is only a third-rank official, and the little romance you have seen, is basically useless.
After receiving the letter, the old man felt resentful, and felt as if he had found a treasure. He immediately impeached the Xu family of Beiliang to the imperial court. Wealth alone", such famous sayings that were frequently borrowed by officials and loyal ministers later, were first spread from the mouth of the old man who was a "bone literati". It’s just that after so many years, when news spread that ten thousand snow dragons from Beiliang rode down to the south of the Yangtze River, the old man who once threatened, “I would like to kill Xu Laizi with one head”, immediately moved his family to Tai’an City overnight. During the period, nothing that could be moved was left behind, and everything was moved.
Conversation in the study room, although the young feudal lord did not wear a python suit, after all, Lu Dongjiang was wearing a meticulous official uniform, but from beginning to end, there was no sign that the monarch and his subjects were right, it seemed like an ordinary chat between the old man and his son-in-law, which involved officialdom The young feudal lord was also smiling when it came to affairs, mostly the deputy manager was talking, and the young man listened carefully, without any sign of impatience. During this period, the young feudal lord even personally poured a cup of herbal tea for everyone in the house. The tea leaves are Baishuang tea from Lingzhou, like green ant wine, which is so soiled that it belongs to summer tea, without chewing. And it has a strong astringent taste, and only the old tea drinkers in the countryside of Lingzhou who are shy in their pockets are willing to taste it. The reason why Baishuang tea was selected by the old Liang King Xu Xiao as the "tribute tea" for Qingliangshan Prince's Mansion and Beiliang Frontier Army is that there were more than 800 people who entered Liangzhou to ride together in the tea producing area, and it happened that they all became Pao Ze, in a battle outside the customs, eight hundred riders took the initiative to take charge of the rear, and all died in battle. In that sparsely populated Lingzhou county with only three small counties within its territory, almost every household was as white as frost at that time. The Lu family's children probably haven't even heard of this, they just wonder how the young vassal king who is used to the most prosperous and leisurely life in the world can say such a thing. Of course, as long as most young people can drink this cup of tea, no matter how difficult it is to drink and how difficult it is to eat, they are still happy.
Only Lu Chengqing, who was standing in the farthest corner, felt bitter.
Even if it was just a short journey into the city, he was listening to people like Lu Chenghe talking about the antiques and curios that flowed into the people from the Beiliang Palace.
Lu Chengqing didn't have any spare money, even if he had, he wouldn't buy it.
At this moment, Lu Chengqing looked at the young prince who was always smiling warmly, and felt that the aftertaste of that cup of tea was even more astringent.
Lu Dongjiang should also be aware that the battle outside the customs is raging now, and the young feudal lord needs to handle heavy affairs in person, so he didn't stay for a long time, and got up to leave soon.
After the young vassal got up, he picked up a long brocade box placed in the corner of the table, passed it around the table, and handed it to the deputy economic envoy. He apologized and said with a smile: "There are no good things here. Guan Xiaozicone was specially sent from Wutong Courtyard by someone, it's not worth much, it's just that it's rare."
Lu Dongjiang's eyes lit up, he took the box, and said with a laugh: "My lord has a heart, from the Dafeng Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn and Southern Tang Dynasty, the two cents of purple and green from Zhulin County, Huizhou were tributes, and Fenglu clearly recorded 'year-old' Five taels of tribute green hairs and four taels of purple hairs', especially the purple hair brushes of 'the old rabbit on the rock is like a tiger, eating bamboo and drinking springs to produce purple hairs' is the most precious. Unfortunately, after the fall of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, the war devastated Zhulin County. Almost no grass grows, so this kind of small echinacea is really a must. It is said that even the imperial study in Tai'an City only has two or three small echinacea, and they are reluctant to use them, they are only for ornamental purposes. My lord, I will tell you the truth. I searched for it in Qingzhou for more than ten years in the early years, but I still couldn't find it, fortunately, fortunately!"
The young feudal lord smiled and said, "This is a crooked attack."
Lu Dongjiang came here in high spirits and returned in high spirits.
The children of the Lu family must also be honored.
Just when the young vassal king got up to send them out of the study, Lu Chenghe suddenly stopped and turned around, and asked, "I heard that when the prince was still His Royal Highness, he once said, 'The rain hits the plantain a thousand times, and sits and watches the koi carp ten thousand tails. ' poems?"
Xu Fengnian nodded and smiled, "Indeed."
Lu Dongjiang knew something was wrong, but he didn't wait for the Deputy Jiedu Envoy to stop him, Lu Chenghe, who seemed to be out of pocket, said bluntly: "My lord's original intention is to belittle the fake wealth of Han Jiajing, a famous scholar in Jiangnan, right? "
Xu Fengnian still smiled and nodded slightly.
Holding the brocade box in his hand, Lu Dongjiang has simply resigned himself to his fate, and in fact, deep down in his heart, he is also looking forward to a good thing that "turns right".
Lu Chenghe said bluntly: "But the prince's words are tantamount to laughing at a hundred steps with fifty steps. The rich poems made of words of gold and jade are naturally not really rich, but the prince's listening to the koi in Chaohu Lake, and the thousands of poems in Wutongyuan How about a plantain plant and my "small studio turning over the book with a light breeze, high-rise lanterns melting into the moon"?"
Xu Fengnian's smile grew stronger, "Let the judgment be judged. In fact, my second sister was like you in the past. She scolded me severely, saying that I was worse than that old guy surnamed Han. I was suddenly rich, and even Han Jiajing The implicit effort to decorate the facade is gone."
Now Lu Chenghe was speechless.
He really didn't expect that the young feudal lord would reveal his shortcomings so much, and his stomach full of beautiful drafts was suddenly useless.
Xu Fengnian smiled and asked: "You are the Lu Gaobiao Lu Chenghe who said 'I would rather be a ghost of Qingzhou than a dog of Beiliang'? Your sister once mentioned you to me in Wutongyuan, saying that you are too talented."
Lu Dongjiang rounded things up and said, "My lord, this kid is quite talented, but he can't be called 'Sheng'."
Xu Fengnian smiled without saying a word.
Except for the contented Lu Dongjiang, a group of young people bowed respectfully and bid farewell again.
Lu Chengqing was still at the end. For some reason, this unknown fourth-family brother suddenly turned his head and looked around, just in time to see the young prince smiling at him, and at the same time gently throwing a small object at him.
Lu Chengqing subconsciously reached out to catch the cold object that looked like a seal, and held it in his palm with a dazed expression on his face.
The young Fan Dynasty smiled and blinked, then turned and walked into the study.
Lu Chengqing, who was drenched in sweat instantly, tried his best to keep calm and continued to move forward slowly.
Let go of your hand a little, and look down.
It was indeed a small private seal made of suet white jade.
The one Lu Chengqing holds in his palm is an appreciation seal.
This kind of seal is used to cover calligraphy, painting and cultural relics. It originated in the Dafeng Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Nine Kingdoms.
The seal carving has the word "fake"!
This private seal is definitely the most legendary appreciation seal, and it is very likely that it will not be surpassed even after hundreds of years.
The priceless authentic paintings and calligraphy of the present age, the treasures that are destined to be passed down from generation to generation for hundreds or even thousands of years, have all been stamped with these two characters.
Lu Chengqing was in a trance and lost his mind.
He couldn't figure out why the young feudal lord would casually throw such a significant object to himself.
I couldn't figure out why it wasn't given to the profound Lu Chengsong of the city, not the sharp-edged Lu Chenghe, or even Lu Dongjiang, the patriarch of the Lu family.
After Xu Fengnian sat back at the desk, he smiled.
For the young man Lu Chenghe's literati's fake and lofty tricks, he can only treat it as a not-so-funny joke. Lu Chengyan did mention this cousin, but it wasn't because he was too talented, but because he was full of depression like a resentful woman, and he was too full of complaints. It can be seen that Lu Chengyan has no affection for Lu Chenghe at all, but Lu Chengyan, who can not pretend to her father Lu Dongjiang, is very optimistic about her unknown cousin Lu Chengqing. She told Xu Fengnian very solemnly at the time that although her grandfather never revealed There was no sign of showing any respect for Lu Chengqing, but he made two comments to her personally. One was that "a whole family of elms are useless, and one tree of sandalwood is unknown." Sandalwood said that the younger brother of the fourth house, Lu Chengqing, "has the talent and knowledge to assassinate history in troubled times, and has the style of Taiping Shangshu". As the leader of the Qing Party, Lu Feichi of the Shangzhu Kingdom, is obviously full of expectations for the future of the offspring Lu Chengqing .
The box of six small echinacea was actually sent by Lu Chengyan from Wutongyuan to the mansion of Beicheng. Of course, the intention was not for Xu Fengnian to give it to Lu Dongjiang, but to leave something for her man, so she secretly hid it That's why Xu Beizhi didn't scrape it off.
On the contrary, the appreciating seal that has long been famous all over the world is indeed Xu Fengnian's reluctance to flow from Qingliang Mountain to the Central Plains.
But if it is given to Lu Chengqing, there is nothing he would not be reluctant to do. Xu Fengnian would be willing to give it to a scholar instead of an endorser, just like buying poems and essays from a poor scholar in Beiliang back then.
Xu Fengnian didn't have any utilitarianism either. After all, Lu Chengqing was still just a piece of rough jade that hadn't been carved. Even if Bei Liang used him, he would have to win the second battle of Lu Mang.
Xu Fengnian sat alone in the study, closed his eyes and meditated, muttering to himself for no reason after remembering the game with Wang Jijiu.
Slay the dragon, slay the dragon, slay the dragon...
Carry two capitals, don't send the emperor to the Central Plains...
