Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The person on the carriage was Jiang Tuan's friend in the Ministry of Finance, Lu Qian, a doctor in the Ministry of Finance.

    Jiang Tuan quickly reined in the reins and said in surprise: "Brother Deyuan, why are you here?" With that, he was about to dismount and talk to Lu Qian.

    "Oh my dear brother Zhenyun, you really made it easy for me to find you!" I don't know if it was because the carriage was too stuffy, but Lu Qian's face turned red and his neck was thick with sweat, and he was covered with sweat all over his face.  He didn't even bother to wipe it, and showed a complicated expression that he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, and said in a hoarse voice: "Fortunately, God opened his eyes, and finally let me find you! Say goodbye one by one! You don't have to  Dismount! Come with me quickly!" Then he ordered the coachman, "Quick, go to Luqi Befu!" Looking back, he saw Jiang Tuan restraining his horse and not moving. He was anxious and nervous, as if his home was on fire.  He kept urging, "Brother Zhenyun, stop being dumb and come with me!"

    Jiang Tuan made an agreement with Xun An on the way, and the two of them would have a few drinks together tonight.  A gentleman keeps his promise and cannot change what he has agreed upon at will. He certainly cannot abandon Xun An and go to Lu Qian.  So he bowed his hand to Lu Qian and said apologetically: "Brother Deyuan, I'm really sorry. I have already agreed with Mr.  moment?"

    Lu Qian was extremely anxious.  They have been waiting there for more than an hour, and they see that if they don¡¯t rush there, they might not be able to see anyone. This is a great opportunity and blessing, but Jiang Zhenyun is still dilly-dallying!  He stretched out his robe sleeves and wiped it randomly on his forehead and cheeks. He opened his eyes wide and looked around, but he didn't see anyone else nearby.  He asked casually: "Mr. Xun? Which Mr. Xun? I said Brother Zhenyun"

    "This is Mr. Xun." Jiang Tuan immediately introduced him, "Pingyuan Xun'an is now the first guest of Uncle Shang Ying."

    "Oh, oh oh! I've admired you for a long time!" Lu Qian didn't even come out of the carriage, he was muttering haha, hunched over and leaning his head to salute Xun An, his brows furrowed as if he was making some decision. Then he said, "Invitation is worse than meeting by chance. How dare you invite Mr. Xun to come with me?" His words meant negotiation, but his tone left no room for negotiation at all.  Then he said to Jiang Tuan, "Hurry up and follow him! Hurry up, or you may not be able to see him if you are late!" Then he called the coachman to go quickly and don't stop.

    Xun An had a look and knew that Lu Qian was not sincere in inviting him, so he immediately suggested that he should take the first step.  As for the appointment with Jiang Tuan - what's the point? He and Jiang Tuan were afraid that they wouldn't have time to drink and talk?

    Lu Qian really couldn¡¯t afford to delay.  He was afraid that Jiang Tuan and Xun An would waste time by giving way to me, so he said categorically: "Mr. Lu can't leave! Let's go together, go together!" His tone was tough and resolute, coupled with his serious expression that showed no anger or authority.  , Tobe Tobe's character as a doctor was immediately revealed.

    Xun An immediately stopped insisting.  He, a small government servant who can easily grab a handful of people in the government office, is most afraid of Shangguan. No matter how big or small the official is, as long as he is a Shangguan, he will not dare to contradict him.  Although he no longer works in the yamen, it is impossible to change the habits he has accumulated for many years. When Lu Qian showed off his official authority, he showed obedience almost instinctively.

    Jiang Tuan was riding on horseback, thinking all the way.  He really couldn't think of anyone else who could make Lu Qian so confused.  As long as a powerful doctor from the Six Ministries like Lu Qian holds the truth, not to mention ordinary officials, even the prime minister will dare to challenge him; unless he makes a big mistake, or is held in a fatal situation by others.  As far as he knew, Lu Qian's official motto was always good. Although he had problems with eating and drinking like other officials, his hands and feet were relatively clean. At most, he could only "borrow" one or two famous calligraphy and paintings from others, or else  "Appreciate" one or two pieces of Shang Zun and Zhou Ding.  However, it is a common problem among scholars to be nostalgic for the past and regret the present. No one is exempt from this. Therefore, no one can blame him for this little "hobby".  But something was wrong today; judging from Lu Qian's panicked look, something big must have happened.  But if something serious happened, Lu Qian should go to worship the "big Buddha in the big temple". Why did he think of looking for him, a little person who couldn't even be called a bull-headed horse-faced person?

    He couldn¡¯t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He led his horse and approached the carriage, and greeted Lu Qian in a low voice, ¡°Did something happen to you?¡±

    Lu Qian didn¡¯t say a word all the way here.  He sat cross-legged in the carriage, frowning, and staring blankly at an unknown place with his two small eyes. It was obvious that he had been distracted.  Hearing Jiang Tuan's words, he faltered two or three times before he came to his senses. He quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "When I leave home, I go to the Yamen, and when I get off the Yamen, I go home. I don't usually have much social interaction with my colleagues, but I can still meet  What's going on!"

    "Is everything okay?" Jiang Tuan stared at him suspiciously.  The smile on Lu Qian's face made him feel uneasy, and he always felt that he was hiding something from him.  He said solemnly, "Brother Deyuan, I have something to say first  Although we have not known each other for a long time, I have always treated you as a close friend.  If something happens, just say it without beating around the bush.  I will help you if I can.  You know me, I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, and I am very unhappy in my official career. I can hardly help in any official matters.  However, I still took advantage of a few copper coins.  If you are in a pinch and need money, be sure to ask!  " He thought that Lu Qian was working in the Du Branch of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Whenever something happened, it must be related to money and food. As long as the amount was not too big, he could still come up with three to five thousand guan.

    "I'm really fine." Lu Qian said in a dumbfounded voice, "This is my teacher. He wants to see you."

    Lu Qian¡¯s master wants to see him?  Jiang Tuan was a little baffled by this statement.  Who is Lu Qian's master?  He knew that Lu Qian was a Jinshi who participated in the rites competition in the 13th year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty; but he had no impression of who the chief and deputy examiners were in the rites competition in the 13th year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.  The key is that there is something fishy about this matter - what does Lu Qian's master call him to do?  Moreover, the place where they were summoned was also strange. It was neither a mansion nor a government office. It was actually a place called Green Qi Befu. Just by hearing the name, you could tell that it was either a singing house or a romantic place like a mansion

    "Who is your master" he asked.

    "Not my advisor." Lu Qian hurriedly explained, "My advisor is Mr. Cao Chunde, the former minister of the Ministry of War. Hehe returned to his hometown for some reason a few years ago." At this point, his words  A little vague.  After all, Cao Zhang was dragged down by his family and was deposed as a civilian. It was not very honorable. He wanted to hide it for the sake of his venerable elders.  "The person who wants to see you today is my teacher."

    "Oh." Jiang Tuan then realized that he had gone astray.  However, Lu Qian's teacher seems to have nothing to do with him, right?

    "You will know when you meet my teacher later," Lu Qian said.

    Jiang Tuan wanted to inquire about the old gentleman again, but Lu Qian resolutely refused to say any more.

    Fortunately, Lu Qi¡¯s other residence was almost here as he spoke, so Jiang Tuan stopped asking any more questions.  Lu Qian refused to say. If he saw his teacher later, wouldn't he know how to ask?
