In the dark night, the two carriages drove into an inconspicuous alley, and the carriage was extravagant and wide, making the alley more and more cramped.
Xiangfan City as the nest of the Qing Party, the word rich and noble is clearly distinguished, rich princes such as Wang Linquan and others, because there is no family background and fame, even if there is a house in the city, they do not live permanently, and if there is a Lu family who is the mainstay of the family in the Shangzhu country, he is hidden in the city with the rest of the family on both sides of this alley, their house is almost equal to the specifications of the royal family's mansion, and Wang Linquan's main gate on the basking mountain, no matter how magnificent, is only the house of the rich family, not called the house.
In addition to the Lu family, the eldest servant of the six departments of the imperial court, Wen Taiyi, and the Qingzhou general Hong Lingshu, who holds the military power of a state, are also adjacent to each other, it is these three Qingzhou giants who support the Qingdang who can compete with Zhang Gu and the two parties in the temple at the same time, but unfortunately there are three surnames and three surnames of defeat, with the centrifugal detachment of Lu Wenhong's three old worshippers surfaced, the Qingdang ceased to exist, and the birds and beasts scattered into the rest of the forces.
The rest of the high gates that are ranked here are also trees that have fallen and scattered, and they have chosen other high branches to cling to, and it is difficult for people's hearts to gather.
If someone can take a closer look, they will find that the threshold is consistent with the identity of the owner of the rank mansion, much higher than ordinary people, the rules here can not be crossed, the so-called door of the world is the door and the carp jumps the dragon gate, which comes from this, and the sheep house is the most popular on the road to the Lu family's house, when the house was built, the two gates are directly carved into the tree, and then made into the door to carry it, which is then installed, such a giant tree, destined to be hugged by the two people, the threshold of the Lu family is so high that many children have to climb over.
Ordinary people can only take a detour to the sheep house sandwich road, and they can't get close to this alley at all, so they can't afford to go to the door of Lu's house to find out.
At the foot of the steps of the house gate stood a kind old man with snow-white eyebrows, carrying a bamboo lantern, the candlelight shook slightly, reflecting the old man's kind face shining, the age of the sixtieth birthday is considered to be a long life, and the old man is eighty years old.
The eldest grandson is also about to reach the age of not being confused, the man looks elegant, and he is also wearing a gorgeous four-grade Wenque brocade official uniform, he is a well-known Qing official and good official, but close to the end of the year, there are many affairs, these days in addition to the promotion of the government, but also to consult the boss officials, entertain colleagues in the county, and the young scholars under the rule come to the door to ask for teaching, are trivial but not negligent headaches, originally tonight to pick up the lamp overnight to deal with a large number of thin book copywriting, the house Ding temporarily notified the ancestor to rush him home, Lu Dongjiang, the county guard of Taixi County, had no time to change out of his official uniform and hurried back.
The future head of the Lu family looked at the end of the alley, turned his head and whispered to ask his grandfather if he would carry the lantern for him, the old man who was the backbone of the former Qingdang shook his head, the old man did not tell this eldest grandson who wanted to visit late at night, Lu Dongjiang, who was afraid of this grandfather when he was a child, did not dare to talk much, this kind of awe has been extended to the year when Lu Dongjiang is known as Lu Dongjiang, until he went to Taixi County to be a county parent official in the past two years, and he is barely regarded as a laissez-faire official, so that the old man will tremble every time he asks in person, I am afraid that the old man will despise him.
No wonder Qingzhou celebrity Lu Dongjiang is so unmanly, it is really his grandfather who is too famous, just the matter of forming a cabinet with today's Shoufu's mentor in the previous dynasty is enough to make people respect like a god.
The Lu family has been in the same house for six generations, but all of them live under the protection of the old man without exception, I am afraid that Lu Dongjiang's daughter can laugh and laugh freely at the old ancestor, and no one else has this courage.
After returning to his hometown, the old man who still held the title of Shangzhuguo glanced at the mansion on the opposite side of the alley, which was the mansion of Wen Taiyi's old man, and after careful calculation, one person was in the court and one person was in the opposition, and he hadn't met for almost four or five years.
That young man can also be a man, and he did not hesitate to pose as a vassal king, you are the lord of Qingzhou who watches the fire from the other side, you don't just play fifty boards each, what kind of crime can you stay in the capital in the old years, often day and night for the king to seek peace, and don't feel tired, at this time the old man really feels a little tired.
Turning his head and glancing at the knocker on the instrument door, Lu Feiqi laughed at himself, he had worked hard all his life, and he had made so many fearful trade-offs in exchange for such a green beast-faced tin ring that did not lose to the prince.
Lu Dongjiang saw that his grandfather had some rare attitudes, and he became more and more uneasy.
In the past few years, he has been in charge of Taixi County, and he has not dared to slack off, and there are no flaws in his personal contacts.
Now the imperial court has made a bold move, and the imperial examination has been greatly promoted, and many scholars who have a friendship with him in the territory of the jurisdiction have entered the scholar and the first, when Lu Dongjiang asked himself, the old man suddenly raised the lantern in his hand, and said softly: "There is a saying about this thing, the more you work, the more vulgar it is, it is to say that once the workmanship is too complicated and loses the original flavor, it will be too much."
Being a man is also a truth, no one is disgusted with an eight-sided exquisite character, but no one is good enough to be a confidant with this kind of person sincerely, let alone share weal and woe, if you want to get along with others, you must always know one or two things about that person One or two handles can be comfortable and rest assured.
You are in Taixi County, it's not that you haven't done a good job, it's that you've done too well, and you've already done it well.
The eldest granddaughter of our Lu family is not bad, although she is from a small family, but she can run a family after she arrives here, she doesn't like you to mess with flowers and grass, it is human nature, you are willing to respect her as a guest, it is a good thing, but you can push away the entertainment of those wind and moon occasions, and the whole officialdom is incompatible, do you really think that the superficial reputation, one or two Wanmin umbrellas when you leave office, can let you step on others to be promoted, you must know that now our Lu family in Qingzhou can no longer say a word, and it will only get worse in the future, there is a grandfather alive for a day, It's all good to say, when I close my eyes one day, you are so drunk that the whole world is drunk and you wake up alone, it is tantamount to making enemies on all sides, you may think that you are a good official and a good person, and you are worthy of looking up, but your father left early, and several uncles are not angry, and grandpa has helped them for most of their lives and has not been able to help them up, not to mention their strength, it is not easy to not drag their feet, since you are in charge of the house in the future, it is inevitable that you will be like the shadow wall behind the Yimen, and you will be in charge alone, blocking all the filth for this family, you can no longer take it for granted like today. ” The old man, who rarely talks at length with his children and grandchildren, rested with a gloomy expression.
Lu Dongjiang's face was pale, he was sweating profusely in winter, and the back of his official uniform was soaked with sweat.
Before seeing the carriage, smell the horse's hooves first.
Lu Feiqi sighed softly: "Officials protect each other, these four words are not good, but they show the true meaning of being an official.
Qingzhou is a game of chess, grandpa has no power to return to the sky, the benefits that should be obtained are all in hand, it is difficult to grab anything from Wen Taiyi Hong Lingshu's pocket, grandpa can't do it, you can't do it.
But there is one thing that Grandpa can do before he dies, and that is to take you to another chessboard and sit down, where there are not many things to do, and there is a lot of leeway.
Unlike the dogs and teeth on the old chessboard, the price must be compared, even if the Lu family is weak, but the descendants of the Lu family will not starve to death because of this. ” Lu Dongjiang once had a secret meeting with the old man Chu Lushan in Beiliang on Chunshen Lake, although he did not participate in the conversation, but with his wisdom in life, it was still enough to grasp the signs and clues, not to mention that Lu Chengyan secretly returned to Beiliang, but Lu Dongjiang did not want to think deeply, Beiliang is cold and bitter, the key is that he is like a tired egg, Lu Dongjiang was born in peace, and is accustomed to the peaceful days of drought and flood protection, even if his daughter may become the side concubine of the vassal king, he never feels any glory, and the joy is exchanged for a full house, Lu Dongjiang was so frightened that he woke up in the middle of the night several times, But he didn't dare to question his grandfather's claim.
As the sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer, Lu Dongjiang mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa, on the old chessboard, even if the Lu family is declining, it is still possible to hope that a national player will appear in the future to regain the lost territory, but if you change the chessboard that may be overturned one day, no matter whether the Lu family's chess player is a grandson or who, only the end of losing the whole game, do you really want to change?"
Lu Feiqi squinted his eyes, Lu Dongjiang was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to wipe it, and after saying what he thought in his heart, his momentum suddenly decreased, and he lowered his head and said, "It's my grandson's mistake." ” I never wanted to smile at this old man who was not smiling at his eldest grandson, and patted Lu Dongjiang on the shoulder, "Dongjiang, grandpa has been waiting for this day for many years. ” Lu Dongjiang raised his head suddenly, looking incredulous.
Lu Feiqi looked at the dim sheep house at the end, and said with relief: "If you blindly worship the ancients, it is the same to compose poetry and be a person."
If you don't even have the courage to say a word to your grandfather in your life, your grandfather will be disappointed when he closes his eyes.
The reason why grandpa has good eyes for Yan'er is that she is smarter and more interesting than all of you, and knows when to nod and when to shake her head.
Grandpa has been in the capital three times in his life, and has been kneeled by so many people, many of whom are now doing six books.
How can Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu compare with your grandfather, not to mention that one of them has to wag his tail and beg for mercy with Zhang Julu.
If a person eats too much bird's nest shark fin, he will inadvertently eat a home-cooked side dish, which will only increase his appetite.
But then again, when grandpa reaches this age, it is inevitable that he will be dizzy with old age, and if you want to say who is standing fifty steps away, grandpa will definitely not be able to answer.
But looking at the current situation, it should be farther than you.
Besides, my Lu Feiqi's gambling skills and luck have always been not bad, and the last time I bet, God must have given some face. ” Lu Dongjiang's heart has been depressed for many years, and he is full of energy.
The old man said with a smile: "Good birds choose trees, but they are afraid that the big trees are not reliable, and if they change the courtyard, they are afraid that the building will fall."
But the weather in Beiliang, where it seems to be declining, is clearly a situation where the family is becoming more and more prosperous.
In the past, it was a strong branch and a weak trunk, and it was indeed not suitable to climb, but now the main trunk is gradually growing, when the grandfather was on the way back to his hometown, he talked about the general trend of the world with a person surnamed Huang, and he said that as long as he can survive the two successive trips of the father and son to the capital, it is worth it for outsiders to bet on all their net worth, and grandpa thinks so, so there is tonight's meeting, and the next Lu family's uproot.
The children of the Lu family are uneven, in the future, there will definitely be people who will rush to Beiliang to take root, because of Yan'er's identity to be pampered and proud, you, the head of the family, do not need to be too restrained, choose a few Lu family members who are not worthy of great responsibilities, as abandoned children, and take the initiative to help the new Liang King to kill chickens and monkeys, Beiliang will remember this old feeling.
The bonsai in the garden, if you want to look good, you have to cut it after all, and you can't do it if you don't choose it, and there is no good thing in the world that you can't give up. ” Lu Dongjiang was both shocked and abruptly said: "My grandson will definitely remember it in my heart." ” The old man who always carried the lantern squinted his eyes and tried his best to look at the approaching carriage, his words were gentle, and he was also a little hurried invisibly, "Grandpa very much hopes that in the future, when the government is in the next downturn, the Lu family can have an old immortal like grandpa, and it is appropriate to clear the fog with his children and grandchildren, this is grandpa's greatest wish." ” Lu Dongjiang's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said sadly: "Grandpa, don't you go to Beiliang with us" The old man sighed, and finally slowly handed the lantern in his hand to the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "The Lu family has changed to a new owner, but someone has to give an explanation to the old owner, there is a beginning and an end, which is also a kind of willingness."
Besides, during the Qingming Festival, the grave was empty, not like words. ” Lu Dongjiang took the lantern, which was actually lightweight, but it was as heavy as ten thousand pounds.
After the old man handed out the lantern, he seemed to be disappointed and relieved. didn't turn his head, just stretched out his hand and pointed to the eaves of the mansion behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Remember one thing, people are under the eaves, and it is their duty to bow their heads to do things, but don't forget to look up and be a man, because this is our duty that we can't lose from the moment the mother's womb lands." ” The old man quietly straightened his waist and looked at the King of Beiliang who had walked down from the carriage.
In order to make a comeback, he begged for alms with a group of high-ranking elders, and stood from early morning to dusk in the pouring rain.

And he, Lu Feiqi, was one of the elders of the cabinet back then.
The old man, who no longer had a lantern in his hand, slowly closed his eyes with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Dongjiang was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the ancestor of the Lu family who fell backwards, and suddenly cried silently.
The lantern in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
People die, the lights go out.
