In the dark night, two horse-drawn carriages drove into an inconspicuous alley. The carriage was extravagant and spacious, and the alleys became more cramped and narrow. Xiangfan City, as the old nest of the Youth Party, has a clear distinction between wealth and honor. The rich and princes are like Wang Linquan and his ilk. Because they have no family history and fame, even if they have a house in the city, they don’t live permanently. The Lu family, the mainstay of the family, hides in the city along with the rest of the family. Their houses are almost the same size as the royal family’s residences, and Wang Linquan’s main entrance on Laoshan Mountain, no matter how grandiose, is also It's just the gate of a wealthy family, not a mansion gate. And this hutong, called the Yangfang Jiadao by the people of Qingzhou, is full of powers and nobles. In addition to the Lu family, which is full of incense, Wen Taiyi, the eldest servant of the six servants of the court, and the Qingzhou general Hong Lingshu, who holds the military power of a state. Adjacent to each other, it is these three giants of Qingzhou that hold the group to support the Qing Dynasty that was able to fight against the rituals of Zhang and Gu in the temple. It is a pity that they have three surnames and lose three surnames. With the three elders of Lu Wenhong The enshrined renunciation and Li Germany surfaced, the Qing Party ceased to exist, and the birds and beasts scattered into the rest of the forces. The other high gates ranked here are also scattered with trees falling down, and one after another choosing high branches to cling to, it is difficult for people to gather together.
If someone can take a closer look, they will find that the threshold is in line with the identity of the owner of the Pinzhi Mansion, which is much higher than that of ordinary people. The rules here are insurmountable. The so-called door-to-door pair and the carp jumping into the dragon gate come from this. , And on the road to the sheep house, the Lujiafu Gate is the most popular place. When the mansion was built, the two gates were directly carved from trees, and then they were made into house doors and transported. Then they were installed again. The giant tree is destined to be too high for the two. The threshold of the Lu family is so high that it is said that many young children have to climb it. The common people usually have to make a detour to the sheep house, and they can't get close to this alley at all, so they don't have the ability to go to Lujiamen to find out.
stood a kind old man with white eyebrows under the steps of the mansion gate. He carried a bamboo strip lantern, and the candle light shook slightly, reflecting the shining brilliance of the old man’s kind face. He is eighty years old. The eldest grandson by his side is also approaching the age of no confusion. The man looks elegant and wears a gorgeous four-rank brocade official uniform. He is a well-known upright official, but he is approaching the new year and has a lot of affairs. To sit in the office, to attend meetings with superiors and officials, to socialize with colleagues in the county, and to ask young scholars to come to ask for instruction. These are trivial but not negligible headaches. I originally had to light up tonight and deal with a lot of thin books and copywriting. , Fu Shang Jia Ding temporarily informed his ancestors to rush home, Lu Dongjiang, the Taixi county county guard, had no time to change his public uniform and hurried back. The future Patriarch of the Lu family looked towards the end of the alley and turned to ask his grandfather whether he would hold the lantern on his behalf. The old man who was the backbone of the Qing Party shook his head. The old man didn’t tell the grandson who was going to visit him late at night. Lu Dongjiang, who was afraid of this grandfather since he was a child, did not dare to speak up. This reverence lasted until the year when Lu Dongjiang, known as Lu Piaoyi, was established. Until the past two years, he went to Taixi County to be a parent official of a county, and he was barely a laissez-faire official. , Only slightly improved, so that the old man would not shiver every time he asked in person, for fear that the old man would despise himself. No wonder Lu Dongjiang, a celebrity in Qingzhou, is so unmanly. It is true that his grandfather was too successful. The fact that he formed a pavilion with the mentor of the current chief assistant in the previous dynasty is enough to make people respectful.
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 it is Lu Dongjiang’s daughter who can talk and laugh freely with the ancestors, and no one else has the courage. After Zhishi returned to his hometown, the old man with the title of Shangzhu country glanced at the mansion across the alley. It was the mansion of the old man Wen Taiyi. When you calculate it, the next person was in the wild, almost four to five years. I’ve seen each other. It’s okay if I don’t see each other. I can still maintain the harmony in the face. It’s not like I’m looking down with Hong Lingshu and not looking up. On the contrary, I’ve traveled farther and farther, and even the two descendants of the two families who had a good relationship are too tired. I get tired of it. I fought a big fight not long ago, so that when the young prince came to the side, the young man would also be a human being. He did not hesitate to put on a posture of indictment as a prince, you are the lord of Qingzhou watching the fire from the other side It's all about 50 boards, what's the crime? In the olden days, I can stay in the capital, and often seek peace for the emperor day and night without feeling tired. At this moment, the old man really feels a little tired. Turning his head and glanced at the door knocker on the door, Lu Feichi laughed at himself, working hard all his life, so many times with trepidation, in exchange for such a green beast face tin ring that is not inferior to the prince.
Lu Dongjiang became more anxious when he saw his grandfather's unusual distractions. In the past few years, I have been in charge of Taixi County. I dare not slack off, and there are no flaws in the relationship between people. Nowadays, the imperial court is resolutely and resolutely prospering the imperial examination. Many scholars in the jurisdiction who have a friendship between teachers and students in the jurisdiction are all in the ranks. When Lu Dongjiang asked himself, the old man suddenly lifted the lantern in his hand and said softly: "There is a saying about this stuff. , The more you work, the more vulgar, it means that once the work is too complicated and loses the original flavor, it will be too late. Being a human is also a truth, no one hates a slick character, but no one will truly become a confidant with such a person. If you want to get along well with others, you must know one or two embarrassments of that person and one or two handles in order to be comfortable and at ease. In Taixi County, it is not that you did not do it well, you did it too well. , Has been beautiful in the forest. Our Lu family’s eldest grandson and daughter-in-law are not bad, although she is from a small family, she can manage her family well when she arrives here. It’s a good thing that she respects each other like a guest, but because of this, she puts away those entertainments on occasions that are not in harmony with the whole officialdom. You really think that the superficial reputation, one or two umbrellas when you leave your post, can make you step on others. You have been promoted? It should be noted that now our Lu family in Qingzhou can no longer speak up, and we will only get worse in the future. With grandpa alive, everything is fine. Whenever I close my eyes, you are so drunk all over the world and you are so alone. , Is tantamount to making enemies on all sides. You may think that you are a good official and a good person, and you are worthless, but your father walked early, and a few uncles were not upset. Grandpa helped them for most of their lives and failed to help them, let alone help. It’s not easy to be able to stay behind. Since you are in charge of the house in the future, it is inevitable that you have to be like the shadow wall behind the gate of Yimen, acting on your own, blocking all the filth for this family, you can no longer take it for granted as you do today."
The old man who rarely talks to his children and grandchildren has a rest, with a depressed expression. Lu Dongjiang's face was pale, sweaty in the winter, and the back of his official uniform was soaked with sweat.
I didn't see the carriage, first sniff the horseshoe.
Lu Fei Chi said softly with emotion: "Officials protect each other, these four words are not good, but they tell the truth of being an official. Now the three surnames of the Youth Party are in the same situation. , How can we go long-term. In this game of chess in Qingzhou, grandpa is already powerless, and he has all the benefits he should get. It is difficult to grab anything from Wen Taiyi Hong Lingshu’s pocket. Grandpa still can’t do it. Even worse for you. But there is one thing Grandpa can do before he dies, and that is to take you to sit down on another chessboard, where there are not many pieces and there is plenty of room for it. Unlike the intertwined canines on the old chessboard, it must be compared with each other. , Even if the Lu family is weak, the descendants of the Lu family will not starve to death because of this."
Lu Dongjiang once met with the old man and Chu Lushan in Beiliang on the Chunshen Lake. Although he did not participate in the conversation, his wisdom in life is still enough to catch the omen. Besides, Lu Chengyan secretly returned to Beiliang, just Lu Dongjiang. I don’t want to think about it. I don’t want to talk about the cold and cold in the north. The key is that the power is full of eggs. Lu Dongjiang was born in peace and accustomed to the peaceful days of droughts and floods. Lu Dongjiang was awake in the middle of the night with fright several times, but he did not dare to question his grandfather's claims.
As the sound of the horses' hoofs became clearer, Lu Dongjiang mustered his courage and gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa, on the old chessboard, even if the rivers are getting worse, the Lu family can hope that in the future a national player can regain the lost ground. The chessboard that may be overturned one day, no matter whether the Lu family chess player is a grandson or someone, it will only end up losing all the games. Do you really want to change it?"
Lu Fei squinted his eyes, Lu Dongjiang was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to wipe it. After he hurriedly said what was in his heart, his momentum was greatly reduced, and he lowered his head and said, "It's Sun'er that is wrong."
never wanted to smile at this unsmiling old grandson, patted Lu Dongjiang on the shoulder, "Dongjiang, Grandpa waited for this day for many years."
Lu Dongjiang suddenly looked up, with a look of disbelief. Lu Feichi looked at the dim sheep's room at the end, and said with satisfaction: "Blindly admiring the ancients is not worth it, writing poetry is the same as a man. If you don't even have the courage to say a word to your grandpa in this life, when your grandpa closes your eyes, you will Very disappointed. The reason why my grandfather has blue eyes on Yan'er is that she is smarter and more interesting than you. She knows when to nod and when to shake his head. Grandpa has been tossed in the capital in this life and was kneeled by so many people, many of them People have now written six books. How much did your grandfather listen to when you said the words of slacking the beard and horses? If you go to Beijing, Biyaner will treat each other with courtesy. How do Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu compare to your grandfather? Let alone one of them. I have to beg for mercy with Zhang Julu. I eat too much bird's nest and shark fin by myself, and I will eat a homemade side dish inadvertently, which will only increase my appetite. But having said that, grandpa is at this age, it is inevitable that his old eyes are dim, you have to say who is standing fifty steps away , Grandpa definitely can’t answer. But looking at the current situation, it should be farther than you. Besides, my Lu Fei-chi’s gambling luck has always been good. The last time I bet, God will definitely give some face."
Lu Dongjiang's heart and mind for many years was completely depressed, and his expression was full.
The old man laughed and said: "Good birds choose wood, because they are afraid that the tree will not be reliable. Changing the gates will cause the building to fall. But the weather in Beiliang seems to be decayed. It is clearly a situation where families are becoming more and more prosperous. In the past, it was a strong branch and a weak branch, and it is really not suitable for clinging to it. But now the main branch is gradually growing. When the grandfather was on his way back to his hometown, he talked with a person surnamed Huang about the world situation. He said that as long as he can survive the two consecutive trips to the capital of the father and son. , Then it’s worthy of outsiders to **** all the net worth. Grandpa is deeply impressed by this. That’s why we will meet tonight and the Lu family will leave their homes. Because of Yan'er’s identity, you are proud of your favor. You, the head of the family, don’t need to be too restrictive. Choose a few unbearable Lu family members as abandoned sons, and take the initiative to help the New Liang King to kill chickens and monkeys. Jiuhui will write down this old situation. The bonsai in the garden, if you want to look good, must be cut and cut. If you don’t choose, there is no good thing in the world."
Lu Dongjiang is both horrified and stunned: "Grandson will remember it in his heart."
The old man who always carried the lantern squinted his eyes and tried to look at the carriage that was approaching. The original words were gentle, but invisibly rushed, "Grandpa hopes that the next time the government will be upset, the Lu family will have a grandfather like grandpa. Such an old man~IndoMTL.com~ to get rid of the misty face with children and grandchildren, this is my grandfather’s greatest wish."
Lu Dongjiang's face suddenly changed, and he said sadly: "Grandpa, won't you go to Beiliang with us?"
The old man sighed, and finally slowly passed the lantern in his hand to the grandson, and smiled and said: "The Lu family has changed to a new owner, but someone has to give the old owner an explanation. There is a beginning and an end. This is also a kind of willingness. Besides, Qingming At the time, the graves were empty, it's not plausible."
Lu Dongjiang took the lantern, which was actually lightweight, but it was as heavy as a million-dollar.
After the old man handed out the lantern, he seemed to be lost and relieved. Don’t turn your head, just point your finger at the eaves of the mansion behind, and said in a deep voice: “Remember, people are under the eaves, and it’s your duty to bow your head to do things, but don’t forget to raise your head and behave, because this is what we’re doing. The duty that you can't lose when you lay down."
The old man quietly straightened his waist and looked at the King of Beiliang who had gotten off the carriage.
Back then, the young general refused to concede defeat after he ran out of capital. In order to make a comeback, he begged a group of high-ranking elders for alms, and stood in the torrential rain from early morning until dusk.
And he, Lu Feichi, was one of the elders back then.
The elderly man who has no lantern in his hand, with a smile on his mouth, slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Dongjiang was shocked, and quickly stepped forward to support the ancestor of the Lu family who had fallen backwards, suddenly crying.
The lantern in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
the light goes out.
