Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the study room next to the second hall's signature room, an old man and a young man had a rare moment of leisure, sitting on two chairs, a stool and a chess piece, talking with their hands hidden.  The chess blocks were placed on a small stool, and the two players could only hold their respective chess boxes. When they first heard that a fierce battle was about to take place here, even a group of Beiliang bosses including Li Gongde and Bai Yu from the front hall came forward.  When they came to watch the battle, some military counselors who had nothing to do at the moment came together in such a mighty manner that there was no room to stand in the study room. This shows that the battle for victory on the catalpa tree is very eye-catching. After all,  One of the chess players, the young feudal king, is not only Li Yishan's disciple, but also regarded as the younger brother of Xu Weixiong, a great national player in the eleventh division. It has long been rumored that Xu Fengnian is indeed very tough and powerful at chess. As the young feudal king's opponent,  Wang Jijiu is a well-educated Confucian like a master in Liyang literary circles, and is Xu Weixiong's mentor. Although there has never been a famous chess game handed down in the world, everyone feels that Wang Jijiu's chess ability is not as good as that of a genius.  When Xu Weixiong faced off against a young vassal king, he must have encountered a good talent and an opponent.

    Especially when the old man holds the Bailuozi, his elegant demeanor with one hand rolled up and the other hand twisting the bag is really dazzling. He is worthy of being the second highest ranking person in Shangyin Academy, a sage and moral master who studies the articles of heaven and man.

    ¡°Probably because the old man was so imposing and solemn, almost no one saw the helpless and blank look on the face of the young feudal king who was being challenged.

    The informal Mr. Bai Lian squatted next to the chess pier, wishing he could put his eyes on the chess board.

    Jin Baoshi, who is one of Han Guzi's disciples like Chang Sui, Xu Huang, and Xu Weixiong, stood behind the old man without any expectations. She didn't want to be embarrassed here, but she just couldn't bear the stubbornness of this old man.  After a rough fight, I was pulled over to strengthen my courage. In the words of the old man, I and Xu Fengnian are equally good at chess. The victory or defeat is between 50 and 50. If there is a peerless beauty standing by to encourage me, I will definitely be able to defeat Xu Fengnian in one fell swoop.  .  But Jin Baoshi knew the old man's chess prowess thoroughly. He was really a stinky chess player. Not to mention that she was thousands of miles away from her senior sister Xu Weixiong. She could also kill him in a chess match and make the old man lose his armor. That's for sure.  Victory in every battle.

    But Jin Baoshi and Xu Fengnian knew the old guy's true worth. Everyone in the room and their heads crowded at the window didn't know. Therefore, after more than a dozen moves in vain, Bai Yu, who was proficient in chess, frowned and became confused.  , those guys who were kept in the dark felt that it was really fucking mysterious. Wang Jijiu was worthy of being a national player in the world. Every time he made a move, he not only returned to his original nature, but also had a long aftertaste. He must be extremely clever. It must be that they are short-sighted and cannot see the old man.  How could it be that the old man acted randomly because of his lack of strength?  !

    After about thirty moves with each other, Li Gongde rolled his eyes and left with his hands behind his back. Many counselors who had seen the trick also left silently with strange expressions. As time went by, when the chess game came to an end, only those sitting in the room were left.  There were only four people on both sides of the game, including Bai Yu who was squatting and Jin Baoshi who was standing.

    The old man, who felt that the situation was great, turned to Jin Baoshi and said proudly: "My dear, what do you think? I, the nickname of 'Wang Tietou', the most popular chess master in the country, is definitely not in vain, right? How powerful is his chess power!"  Look at our prince, he is giving in step by step and has no power to fight back!"

    The old man said to himself: "Okay, I'd better change my nickname from now on and call him 'Wang Tiaqi'. He is exactly the same as the Beiliang Tiaqi, and his combat power is the best in the world."

    Then the old man looked down at Bai Yu with a smile, "Mr. Bai Lian, you have been squatting on the ground for a long time. Are you deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate yourself? Don't worry, I can understand."

    Bai Yu raised his head expressionlessly, "My feet are numb and I can't stand up."

    The corner of the old man's mouth twitched and he snorted coldly.

    Xu Fengnian silently made his move and slaughtered a huge dragon. In an instant, Bai Zi met a miserable end.

    The young feudal lord Yuya Yuya 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 had come back from his stunned state was about to reach out to stop him. The young feudal king squinted and said, "What, do you want to regret your chess? You can regret it this time. Don't even think about coming to the study to play chess with me again in the future."

    After weighing the pros and cons, the old man laughed and said: "This game of chess is magnificent and wonderful. Even though I lose, I feel honored!"

    Bai Yu finally stood up, bent down and rubbed his legs, and said to himself: "If I come to this study again to watch people playing chess, I will poke my eyes out."

    The old man ignored it and still looked satisfied.

    Jin Baoshi picked a chair and sat next to the chess pier, helping the two of 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 placed the chess box in the corner of the chess pier, "Generally speaking, he wants me to help Prince Yanchi and his son hold off the prairie cavalry for at least a year and a half."

    Wang Jijiu said in a deep voice: "You agreed?"

    XuFengnian leaned forward and pinched a chess piece with his fingers, and smiled calmly: "It's not about agreeing or not agreeing to this kind of thing, because it is meaningless. After agreeing, do you really believe that Xinliyang will treat the Beiliang border troops well?  If you don¡¯t agree, will the Beiliang cavalry stop fighting the Beimang barbarians?¡±

    Wang Jijiu's words were so shocking that Jin Baoshi, who was bending down to collect the chess pieces, was so horrified that his hands shook, "Then have you ever thought about meeting the old woman in private and diverting trouble to the east? Let Liyang and Liao border troops fly like dogs.  Jump, and let Zhao Bing and Zhao Zhu, the father and son who took over Tai'an City, clean up the mess? Beiliang will reap the benefits, not to mention other things, and at the very least, fewer people will die."

    Xu Fengnian said calmly: "I have 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 dark and unreadable, and he stared into the eyes of the young lord, trying to find some clues.

    The old man exhaled a breath of turbidity, "May I ask why this is?"

    Xu Fengnian gently put the chess piece on her fingertips back into the chess box, "It's hard for people in this world to distinguish between right and wrong. There are right and wrong in things in this world."

    The old man said impatiently: "You kid, to put it simply, don't try to be mysterious just because Miss Jin is here. To be honest, even if this girl is willing to like you, do you dare to like her?"

    Jin Baoshi¡¯s cheeks turned red and he glared at the old man.

    Xu Fengnian said helplessly: "To put it simply, it is very simple. If Xu Xiao was still alive and faced with a million cavalry troops from Beimang knocking down the border, would he secretly run to the old woman and say, you take the troops to attack Gu Jiantang?  Let¡¯s have a truce with Liang Mang?¡±

    The old man said angrily: "This is different. Xu Xiao is Xu Xiao. Those old ladies liked your father back then. Your father, a grown-up man, couldn't help but refuse to talk about it. What's so strange about it? But you, Xu Fengnian, are different."  !¡±

    Xu Fengnian didn¡¯t answer the question. He looked at the old man and asked: ¡°If the Beiliang cavalry does not fight when encountering the enemy, is it still the Beiliang cavalry?¡±

    The old man slapped the chess box heavily on the chess pier with both hands and scolded: "You are already on the verge of death, why are you a hero?!"

    Xu Fengnian's face remained as usual, "You might as well ask the Beiliang border troops about this question and ask them whether they agree. The first Liangmang battle took place at Hutou City in Liangzhou, under Qingcang City in Liuzhou, and in Hulukou in Youzhou. There were so many frontiers.  Army, it's not about imminent death, it's about already dead. It's useless for you to tell me now that we can save fewer lives."

    The old man cursed: "They are all idiots!"

    Xu Fengnian said angrily: "Don't rely on your old age, I will really beat you up!"

    The old man crossed his neck and made a spatula gesture, "Come on, come here, kid!"

    Xu Fengnian immediately said with a playful smile: "Don't dare, come on, come on, let's play another game of chess, I guarantee you will win!"

    The old man was doubtful and said: "Seriously?"

    Xu Fengnian said seriously: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"

    The old man immediately turned sentimental, "Girl Jin, stop it now. I will have another round with this well-deserved Yi Lin great player. Just watch me kill everyone."

    The second game of chess ended quickly.

    The old man who had been slain again got up angrily, waved his sleeves and left, not even asking for the chess pieces or the chess box.

    Jin Baoshi did not get back the chess box and secretly gave the young lord a thumbs up before leaving the study, which was very satisfying!

    Xu Fengnian laughed it off.

    At this time, a prison spy came to the study and whispered: "Deputy Envoy Lu is here with seven of the Lu family's children."

    Xu Fengnian rubbed his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Just let them come here."

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    The Lu family in Qingzhou was once a well-deserved wealthy family in Jing'an Road, with luxuriant branches and luxuriant branches. Especially in the early years, under the shade of the towering tree of Lu Feiqi, the old family leader, Shangzhu State, it was full of vitality. It was famous for its hobby of uniting the party with the government and the public.  Among the Qingdang members, he is still known as the most outstanding member of the Lu family in Shilin.

    It was just that the early days when the family moved to Beiliang Road were quite rough. None of the Lu family's children made any achievements in Liangzhou official circles or Beiliang literary circles. The main reason was that Lu Dongjiang, the head of the family, had no official status for a long time, and even  It is rumored that the father-daughter relationship with the future princess of Qingliang Mountain is also extremely sensitive. This is nothing more than adding insult to injury to the more than 400 people of the Lu family. Those confusing years are what the children of the Lu family are least willing to recall today.  In this bleak situation, even the innocent young children in the family are influenced by their elders, and their laughter becomes less and less. If they behave in a harmless and naughty way, they will be loudly reprimanded by the depressed elders, and their cries become more and more frequent.

    Originally, the Lu's mansion, who had been full of a lot of money in Liangzhou with a strong family, from the sparse and horse to Menke Luoque, but it was just one year.He was like a fish in water, and there were no idlers. Even the two ranches in Xianli Tianjing were busy with the Wang family's children. Wang Linquan, who was originally the richest man in Qingzhou, was privately called the God of Wu Wealth by Beiliang officials, standing shoulder to shoulder with Li Gongde, the God of Wealth and Wealth.

    This person is not afraid that everyone will fall into the world together, but is afraid of comparison. The rapid rise of the Wang family has made the high-ranking Lu family even more dissatisfied. According to legend, there was a man who was ostracized by his colleagues when he first entered the Liangzhou government office.  The proud son of the Lu family, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, angrily threatened to return to his hometown and told his uncle Lu Dongjiang face to face, "I would rather be a ghost in Qingzhou than a dog in Beiliang."

    All of this suddenly changed as Lu Chengyan was officially confirmed as the future Beiliang Princess. First, a leader of the Lu family was able to assume a position of real power in the construction of Jubei City. His rank was not high, but the Lu family was completely silent.  The beginning of the re-emergence of Beiliang officialdom.  Later, Lu Dongjiang, who was the backbone of the huge family, had a prosperous official career. He was out of control and rose all the way up until he became the deputy general envoy. From the second rank to the actual feudal official, looking at the entire Central Plains Map, he was only the fourth rank.  The celebrity Lu Yubo, who was in his early ten years, was considered the youngest leader of the local civil servants.

    This time Lu Dongjiang rushed from Lingzhou to Jubei City, and the convoy carried six young people from the Lu family. The Lu family has four houses, and at least one person in each house has received this honor and can meet the young vassal king together with the deputy manager.  Including Lu Chengsong, a leader of the younger generation who was originally an official in Jubei City, Lu Dongjiang was followed by a total of seven young people, led by a military counselor wearing a green shirt and hanging a seal ribbon, to the Ertang Qiu Summer Hall.  The study next door.  Lu Dongjiang specially asked Lu Chengsong to walk side by side with him. The latter has now been temporarily in charge of the new city's grain and grass branch, and has been officially promoted to a full-time official.  Gantry.  Therefore, the deputy manager, who had high hopes for Lu Chengsong, had a smile on his lips. He listened to the Lu family's children telling some interesting stories about Jubei City and nodded frequently, unable to hide his joy.

    After the Liyang court unified the Central Plains, the Liyang court, which had suffered from the separatist rule of vassal towns, delegated far less power than consolidated it. Except for the princes who were granted the title of vassal, you could be an important frontier minister ranging from an official to a military envoy and a military envoy.  Without the right to open a government, it is a grave sin to move thousands of miles without permission to select staff to serve as court officials with high rank.  However, there is always an exception in Beiliang. Whether it is the Liangzhou frontier army or the officialdom inside the pass, as long as they are of the third rank, the old and new generations of vassals will turn a blind eye to this, and have always allowed those few to do so.  When important civil and military officials open their own offices and select their own staff, Qingliangshan and the Duhufu will basically happily criticize the significant word "ke".  Beiliang is an exception, and Lu Dongjiang is no exception to this exception. It's just that the deputy general manager is a well-known celebrity in the scholarly community. He cherishes his feathers and does not promote too many members of the Lu family to high-ranking officials. There are only a dozen or so here and there.  , most of them were minor officials who had just risen to the rank of Qingliu. This could probably be regarded as repaying favor to the son-in-law named Xu.

    The young man walking at the end of the team came from the fourth room of the Lu family. There were very few men in the fourth room, and they were in a state of decline when their ancestor Lu Feiqi was still alive. This weakling named Lu Chengqing really took advantage of being the taller among the short ones.  , otherwise if it were a younger brother from another house, it would never be his turn to show up in that study.  Lu Chengqing has been an unknown member of the Lu family since he was a child. He has mediocre qualifications and mediocre literary talents. Lu Dongjiang naturally regards him as a dull junior who cannot be used for much purpose. He is just a mild-tempered person who never causes trouble, which makes people worry-free.  This time, when I came to Jubei City to meet the feudal king, I brought along this silent young man whose father died very early.

    Lu Chengqing was hanging alone on the tail of the team, his steps were steady and his eyes were straight. There was no curious look from other young people of his generation, nor the complacent look of the two Lu family disciples in front.

    Unlike the famous Lu Chengsong, and different from those who moved to Beiliang with his family, Lu Chengqing still devoted himself to studying the books of sages behind closed doors. Therefore, when the Lu family collapsed, this young scholar who had no support in the family was lost.  The youngest, when the Lu family was rapidly rising, he did not use the little incense accumulated by his father's generation to have a relationship with the eldest son to ask for an official position from the head of the family, Lu Dongjiang, who had "hands full of seals and ribbons".  He went to Qingludong Academy in Youzhou to study hard, but his life was still unremarkable. Even to this day, no classmates knew his identity as the Lu family. When classmates got together, they criticized current affairs, pointed out the country, and sang songs. Lu Chengqing had never been there.  This time, a letter from the family asked him to leave early for the customs, so Lu Chengqing came. Carrying only a bookcase, he gritted his teeth and hired a carriage, and then waited alone in the market outside the city for the powerful deputy governor.  When the group of people, Lu Chenghe, who was the same age as Sanfang at that time, learned that no high-ranking official in Jubei City came out to greet him, he complained that Jubei City was too ungrateful. If it were Tai'an City, with his uncle's prominent status, he would not  It is said that the Minister of Rites came out to greet him, so there should be a Minister of Rites waiting eagerly outside the city.  Lu Chengqing, who was ridiculed by his peers as a pimple on a tree, still looked on with cold eyes as always, only listening but not speaking.Don't do it either.

    The vassal king's study next to Qiu Shu Hall is not big, with only four chairs, one for the young vassal, and one for Lu Dongjiang. Lu Chengsong, who is not only the boss of Jubei City, but also one of the top young disciples of the Lu family, also  Being able to occupy one, the last one, Lu Dongjiang sat down and motioned for Lu Chenghe to sit down with his eyes, but in his eyes, in addition to the elder encouraging the younger, there was also a reminder not to get into trouble.  This Lu Chenghe is the son of the Lu family who resigned from his job as an official in Liangzhou Yamen. He is also the young celebrity who said those harsh words. It is a pity that this was in Beiliang Road, where martial arts is respected and literature is weak. Maybe it would be replaced by Lu Chenghe.  Into the south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains, this is an elegant and beautiful story that shocked scholars.  Lu Dongjiang has been fond of Lu Chenghe for a long time. He once personally praised me as Gaobiaolang of the Lu family. Gaobiao means high branches, which means the height of mountains and trees.  When Lu Chenghe was young, Lu Dongjiang did not hesitate to advocate and build momentum for him among the literary circles of Jing'an Dao. Lu Chenghe indeed lived up to expectations and won himself the nickname of a talkative little country player. He was the only young man who could compete with the relatively more pragmatic Lu Chengsong.  As for the dull and talkative Lu Chengqing, I am afraid that he is not qualified to be looked at seriously by two of his peers.

    There were four chairs in a study room. The young vassal prince stood at the door and stood up to greet them. After leading them into the room, he stood behind the ordinary book table with a smile, stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and waited until his father-in-law Lu Dongjiang and the three  After all the young people were seated, the young feudal king slowly sat down.

    The study room is not big, but there are many books and files, and there is no ice basin filled with ice cubes in the corner. Even if the young lord has opened the window before, it will inevitably be a little cramped and hot. This makes Lu, who is tightly dressed in order not to lose etiquette,  The children of the clan were a little uncomfortable. Several young people standing behind Lu Dongjiang, Lu Chengsong, and Lu Chenghe were a little surprised after looking at the study room from the corner of their eyes. The formal study room used by the dignified lord to deal with important military affairs was too simple.  Well, one can simply use the word shabby to describe it.

    In the early years, when they were far away in Qingzhou, Jing'an Road, they were all very curious about the rumored luxury level of the Wutong Courtyard in Beiliang. There was an interesting incident in the Central Plains literary world at that time. A famous scholar from Jiangnan Road with outstanding literary talents scolded Xu in the temple.  Xiao regarded being an official as the first priority, and after returning to the countryside, he made it the first priority in his life to criticize the affairs in Beiliang. After rising to prominence, an old man from an ordinary noble family was good at writing graceful poems in his later years, which spread all over the country.  Playing and having a banquet, Wenlin of Jiangnan Province praised it as "writing about the inner affairs of the Fuguimen courtyard, with such melodious charm that it can be said that the palace is full of gold and jade." However, it was unknown how it spread to the bitter cold of Northern Liang, so the prince 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 in your life. The article is full of gold and jade, which is unbearably vulgar. At the end, it also gives a gift of "a thousand sounds of rain hitting the bananas, and you sit and watch ten thousand koi carp".  I mean, there is no doubt that you, an old guy who is only a third-rank official, have seen nothing but romance.

    After the old man received the letter, he was angry and felt as if he had found a treasure. He immediately impeached the Xu family of Beiliang to the court. "Xu Xiao secretly embezzled soldiers' pay from the northwest frontier and enriched himself to the extreme, which is shocking." "Everyone in Beiliang is poor, and the Xu family  "Only rich", such famous sayings that were frequently borrowed by loyal ministers again and again, were first spread from the mouth of the old man who was a "skeleton scholar".  It was only after so many years that when the news spread that 10,000 snow dragons were riding down from Beiliang to the south of the Yangtze River, the old man who once threatened, "I would like to kill Xu Laizi head-on" immediately moved his family to Tai'an City overnight.  During this time, not a single thing that could be moved was left behind, everything was moved.

    During the conversation in the study room, although the young lord was not wearing a python suit, after all, Lu Dongjiang was wearing a meticulous official uniform, but from beginning to end there was no hint of a monarch and his ministers being right. It was more like an ordinary chat between the father-in-law and his son-in-law, which involved officialdom.  Regarding affairs, the young feudal prince also had a smile on his face, and most of the time it was the deputy manager who was talking about it. 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 was white frost tea produced in Lingzhou. Like green ant wine, it was soiled and crumbled. It was a summer tea and had no chewy texture.  It also has a strong astringent taste, and only the cash-strapped old tea drinkers in rural areas of Lingzhou are willing to taste it.  The reason why Baishuang Tea was selected by the old Liang King Xu Xiao as the "tribute tea" for the Qingliang Mountain Palace and the Beiliang Border Army is that in that tea producing area, more than 800 people once entered Liangzhou to ride together, and by chance they all became  In Pao Ze, in a battle outside the customs, eight hundred cavalry took the initiative to cut off the rear, and all of them died in the battle.  At that time, almost every household in Lingzhou, a small county with a sparse population and only three small counties within its jurisdiction, was as plain as white frost.  The descendants of the Lu family have probably never even heard of this. They just wonder how the young vassal king who is used to the richest and most leisurely life in the world can say this.  Of course, as long as most young people can drink this cup of tea, no matter how hard it is to drink or how hard it is to swallow, they will still be happy with it.

    Only Lu Chengqing, who was standing in the corner, only felt bitter.

    Even during the short journey into the city, he was listening to people like Lu Chenghe chatting about the royal family from Northern Liang.Of the antiques and treasures that have flowed into the public, each of them was lucky enough to miss a few, and each regretted missing a few.

    Lu Chengqing doesn¡¯t have any spare money, and even if he did, he wouldn¡¯t buy it.

    At this moment, Lu Chengqing looked at the young vassal king who always had a warm smile, and felt that the aftertaste of the cup of tea was even more astringent.

    Lu Dongjiang should also know that the war outside the customs is raging now, and the young vassal king needs to handle heavy affairs personally, so he did not stay long and quickly got up to leave.

    After the young feudal lord got up, he picked up a long brocade box placed in the corner of the table, walked around the table, handed it to the deputy manager, and said with an apologetic smile: "There are no good things here, this box of bamboo  Regardless of the little purple cone, I had someone specially send it from Wutong Courtyard. It¡¯s not worth much, but it¡¯s more valuable than rare.¡±

    Lu Dongjiang's eyes lit up, he took the box, and laughed and said: "Your Majesty is very interested. From the Dafeng Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Southern Tang Dynasty, the two cents of purple and green from Zhulin County in Weizhou were tribute, and the law clearly recorded that 'years old'  There are 5 liang of green hair and 4 liang of purple hair, especially the purple hair pen of "old rabbit sitting on the stone like a tiger, eating bamboo and drinking from the spring to grow purple hair" is the most precious. Unfortunately, after the fall of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, the war spread to Zhulin County.  There is almost no grass growing, and this kind of small purple cone is really a must-have. It is said that even the imperial study in Tai'an City only has two or three small purple cone, and they are reluctant to use it, only for viewing. My lord, I will tell you the truth.  I have been searching in Qingzhou for more than ten years in my early years, but I still can't find it. I'm so lucky, so lucky!"

    The young vassal king smiled and said: "This is a mistake."

    Lu Dongjiang came to take advantage of the good news and returned to take advantage of the good news.

    The children of the Lu family must also be proud of you.

    Just as the young vassal prince stood up and sent them out of the study, Lu Chenghe suddenly stopped and turned around, asking: "I heard that when the prince was still the crown prince, he once said, 'The rain hits the plantains with a thousand sounds, and I sit and watch ten thousand koi carps.  'Poetry?"

    Xu Fengnian nodded and said with a smile: "That's true."

    Lu Dongjiang knew something was wrong, but before the deputy governor could stop him, Lu Chenghe, who seemed to be out of pocket, said bluntly: "The prince's original intention is to belittle the fake wealth of Han Jiajing, a celebrity in Jiangnan Road, right?  "

    Xu Fengnian still smiled and nodded lightly.

    Holding the brocade box in hand, Lu Dongjiang has simply resigned to his fate, and in fact, deep down in his heart, he is also looking forward to a good thing that will "go right".

    Lu Chenghe said bluntly: "But what the prince said is nothing more than taking fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. The poems about wealth and wealth made up of golden and jade words are naturally not true wealth, but the prince's words are like the koi carp in Chaohu Lake and the thousands of words in Wutong Courtyard.  How about a banana plant and my "I read a book in the small studio, the breeze blows, and the lanterns hanging from the high building melt the moon"?"

    Xu Fengnian's smile grew wider, "Let's judge. In fact, my second sister was just like you back then. She scolded me severely, saying that I was worse than that old guy named Han. Suddenly rich and powerful, even Han Jiajing  All the subtle effort to decorate the appearance is gone.¡±

    Now Lu Chenghe was speechless.

    He really didn¡¯t expect that the young feudal lord would expose his own shortcomings like this, and the splendid drafts in his belly were suddenly useless.

    Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Are you the Lu Gaobiao and Lu Chenghe who said, 'I would rather be a Qingzhou ghost than a Beiliang dog'? Your sister once mentioned you to me in Wutong Courtyard, saying that you are too talented."

    Lu Dongjiang smoothed things over and said, "Your Majesty, this guy is quite talented, but he just doesn't deserve the word 'prosperous'."

    Xu Fengnian smiled and said nothing.

    Except for the satisfied Lu Dongjiang, the group of young people once again bowed respectfully and said goodbye.

    Lu Chengqing was still walking at the end. For some reason, this unknown fourth-room brother suddenly turned his head and looked around, just in time to see the young vassal king looking at him with a smile, and at the same time gently throwing a small object at him.

    Lu Chengqing subconsciously reached out to catch the cold seal-like object, holding it in his hand with a blank look on his face.

    The young feudal lord smiled and blinked his eyes, then turned and walked into the study.

    Lu Chengqing, who was suddenly sweating, tried his best to stay calm and continued to move forward slowly.

    He loosened his hand slightly and looked down.

    As expected, it is a small private seal made of mutton-fat white jade.

    The piece in Lu Chengqing¡¯s hand is an appreciation seal.

    This type of seal was used to seal calligraphy and painting cultural relics. It arose in the Dafeng Dynasty and flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period.

    There are two words "fake" in the seal!

    This private seal is definitely the most legendary appreciation seal, and it is very likely that it will not be surpassed even hundreds of years later.

    ¡°The priceless authentic calligraphy and paintings in this world, treasures destined to be passed down from generation to generation for hundreds or even thousands of years, have all been stamped with these two words.

    Lu Chengqing was in a daze and lost his mind.

     He couldn't figure out why the young feudal lord would throw such a significant object to him casually.

    I can¡¯t figure out why it wasn¡¯t given to the profound Lu Chengsong, the sharp-edged Lu Chenghe, or even the head of the Lu family, Lu Dongjiang.

    Xu Fengnian sat back at the desk and smiled.

    For the young man Lu Chenghe, the literati's tricks of pretending to be noble should only be treated as a not-so-funny joke.  Lu Chengyan did mention this cousin, but it was not that he was too talented, but that he was as depressed as a resentful woman, and he was so full of complaints that his heart broke.  It can be seen that Lu Chengyan has no good feelings for Lu Chenghe, but Lu Chengyan, who can be honest with her father Lu Dongjiang, is very optimistic about her unknown cousin Lu Chengqing. She solemnly told Xu Fengnian at that time that although her grandfather had never revealed it  There was no sign of any respect for Lu Chengqing, but he made two comments to her personally. The first was that "the whole house is full of elm wood, and no one knows about a single sandalwood tree." The elm wood means that everyone in the Lu family is mediocre.  Tanmu said that the fourth brother Lu Chengqing, "has the talent and knowledge of a governor in troubled times, and the qualifications of a peace minister." As the leader of the Qing Party, Shangzhu Guo Lu Feiqi was obviously full of expectations for the future of his descendant Lu Chengqing.  .

    The box of six small purple cones was actually sent by Lu Chengyan from the Wutong Courtyard to the Jubeicheng vassal residence.

    Xu Fengnian sat alone in the study, closing his eyes and concentrating. He muttered to himself after remembering the game with Wang Jijiu for no reason.

    ??Slay the dragon, slay the dragon, slay the dragon

    Carrying the two capitals with you, if you don¡¯t send them to the emperor, send them to the Central Plains
