Chapter 264 The Zheng Family
No major incident happened along the way. The convoy was wearing the banner of the Qingcheng Sect, and there was no small thief who dared to provoke him if he was not open-minded.
In addition to practicing martial arts every day, Du Wenxing discusses mathematics with Lu Yi.
Well, it’s just a discussion, but it’s actually Du Wenxing’s talk and Lu Yi listened to.
Du Wenxing didn't expect that this uncle Lu was so interested in mathematics.
In the ninth year of Tianxi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chengdu, Xichuan.
The car is rippling and the horse is silenced.
A team of people with several carriages came from the south along the official road and entered the city from the south gate.
Although it is almost autumn, the huge trees on both sides of Chengdu Road are shaded and green.
Among the villas and fields far away outside the city, there are red plums and white plums, hidden by the willow branches and willow branches, and the sun is shining.
Du Wenxing rode above his clear shadow. After entering the city gate, he saw that the Chengdu city was very prosperous and the crowded, which was even more different from the Taizhou city in the south of the Yangtze River.
The commercial atmosphere of Taizhou City is stronger, with pedestrians, cars and horses in a hurry, while in Chengdu, the people on the road are much more leisurely.
Before entering the city, Lu Yi had already sent someone to Zheng's mansion to inform him that the Zheng family was also a large family in Xichuan, monopolizing the iron business in Xichuan, and the family power was second only to the Yun family.
When the group arrived in front of the Zheng Mansion, they saw Zheng Huan, the head of the Zheng family, greeting him outside the gate. Lu Yi smiled and said a few words, which made Du Wenxing come to pay homage to this great figure in Xichuan.
Zheng Huan is in his fifties, not tall, very rich, with a white face, but has a good beard and gentle words that have a kind of demeanor.
Zheng Huan himself had never been an official, but both of his sons had a career and were not around him.
"Boy Du Wenxing, I have met Mr. Zheng Huan."
Du Wenxing heard Uncle Lu introduce the Zheng family and the head of the Zheng family along the way. He knew that although he looked kind, he was actually resolute and decisive, and had extraordinary ways of acting. He was a person who even the head of Qingcheng would treat him with courtesy when he met him, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
Zheng Huan looked at Du Wenxing and bowed with fists, quickly helped him up, looked at him and said, "It turns out that he is worthy of being a young man from the Qingcheng Sect. He is a handsome talent. Please don't be too polite."
The group walked towards the house under Zheng Huan's leadership. The others had their own arrangements for the reception of the Zheng family's housekeeper, and Zheng Huan personally led Lu Yi and Du Wenxing to the backyard.
Du Wenxing was a little surprised. The backyard was where the female family lived, so the head of the Zheng family was too indifferent.
However, he didn't know that his uncle Lu and Zheng Huan had an extraordinary friendship, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was "the best thing for the family".
The courtyard of Zheng Mansion is very large, with a solemn front yard, but when you enter the back yard, you feel a change.
The small bridges and flowing water, the rare flowers and precious trees, and the layering of strange stones have a fresh and free feeling of Jiangnan gardens.
"A variety of scenic spots, mountains and forests are so close to you, it's such a great place." Du Wenxing blurted out.
Zheng Huan was immediately surprised. He thought that this Qingcheng disciple was a martial artist, but he didn't expect that he still had such literary talent.
A variety of scenic spots, a short distance from the mountains and forests?
It's really good to describe it!
"I didn't expect that my nephew is both civil and military, and it's rare."
Zheng Huan looked at Du Wenxing and became closer. After all, although Zheng Huan was a businessman, he also considered himself a literati, and the so-called "Confucian businessman" was.
For the literary juniors, they naturally have a little more intimacy.
Lu Yi also looked at Du Wenxing with a look of surprise. He knew the origin of this kid and had been studying for less than three months. What did he think of this?
He shook his head secretly in his heart, afraid he didn't hear it from somewhere.
But it was hard for him to remember, and he still knew where to use it!
Lu Yi did not expose it, after all, he was his own child.
He just smiled mysteriously at Du Wenxing, making Du Wenxing inexplicable.
"Uncle Master smiled so strangely, why are hesitating?"
At this time, he turned a round arch and saw a maid smiling and greeting him, "But it's here! The lady just heard the message that Mr. Lu was here and was so happy that she had asked someone to go to the front to see it several times. Please come in quickly, Mr. Lu, the lady is anxious."
Du Wenxing looked at Uncle Lu in surprise. It turned out that Uncle Lu was so familiar with the Zheng family, no wonder!
But what happened to the embarrassing smile on Uncle Lu’s face?
Before he could think too much, Du Wenxing followed Zheng Huan and Lu Yi into the room. When he raised his eyes, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting upright in the lobby.
The woman was wearing emerald clothes, with thin makeup on her face, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
However, Du Wenxing always felt that the woman looked at her uncle’s gaze, smiling slightly, and having a joking feeling inside.
"Madam, I have brought Brother Lu to you. You can decide how to send me a message!" Zheng Huan stood aside with a smile and looked at the show.
Lu Yi's face turned slightly red and bowed to the beautiful woman, "Sister gives me some face, and I'm still here for the younger generation."
Du Wenxing looked at the scene with a curious look, and wanted to say in his heart: "Don't worry about me, you guys continue."
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes turned around and smiled slightly when she saw Du Wenxing's appearance, "What a handsome young man, I don't know how to recruit people for a few years!"
Well!
Du Wenxing was slightly stunned and thought to himself that this lady really didn't treat herself as an outsider, so she was teasing herself.
Then he heard the other party say, "Since you are a junior of Lu and you are still brought by him, you are obviously a close person, so I will not treat you as an outsider anymore. Don't be restrained in my house, just like in your own house."
Du Wenxing couldn't help but look at Uncle Lu again, thinking to himself what kind of relationship does Uncle Lu have with the Zheng family? Is it a relative?
By the way, how should I reply? You are also giving me a hint!
Lu Yi seemed to be just concerned about embarrassment, and you ignored him, so he had to say, "Madam loves you, boy dare not be a kid."
"What's there to be that I dare not be a member of you, Mr. Lu, almost became a family with us. Even now, it's not too late."
In the latter sentence, the middle-aged beautiful woman obviously said to Lu Yi, and Du Wenxing stopped talking.
Lu Yi now regretted bringing Du Wenxing to the house and showed this kid a joke. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Sister Lu has not forgotten that incident.
He looked up and said, "Sister, that's true."
"Okay, okay, don't say anything more about your high-sounding words like "not taking advantage of others' dangers and not wanting to delay". My little sister has been waiting for you for so many years. Do you really have no feelings for her?"
The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyebrows stood up.
Lu Yi was embarrassed and speechless.
Zheng Huan hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Okay, madam, give Brother Lu some time, he will figure it out. Look, he hasn't married yet!"
Who has Mr. Lu delayed?
What is your relationship with Mrs. Zheng?
