Chapter Thirty-Five of One Hundred and Thirty-Five(2/2)
By the time we arrived at Lequn Courtyard, except for Hu Tou, all the companions had already arrived and were gathering in the upper room to have tea and talk.
Jingzhe went to clean up the house, but Dao Chi was directly called to the room by Wang Qi.
Wang Qi wore white filial piety and dressed up in plain clothes. Because everyone in the palace was in filial piety, everyone had been dressing up in plain clothes for the past two years, but he didn't look eye-catching.
After losing a lot of weight, he has a lot of energy. If he doesn't speak, he is still a handsome young man, but when he speaks, his bottom is revealed.
Inviting Erlang to come in, Wang Qi winked at him and said: "Erlang, Boss Chen went to Wuchang Mansion a few days ago and brought back the little beauty... Hehe..."
He smiled obscenely, which really cost him his face.
Seeing him like this, the Taoist idiots were dumbfounded. Looking at his classmates, Chen Chizhong became more and more calm, as if Wang Qi was not talking about him; Liu Congyun smiled and ate tea and watched from the sidelines; Lu Wenzhao, on the other hand, had a different reaction, with an uneasy expression on his face.
, looking at Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong with unkind expressions.
Dao Chi looked around, feeling confused, but did not stop Wang Qi and allowed him to tease Chen Chizhong.
Although Chen Chizhong took off his Taoist robe, he grew up in a Taoist sect and was not shy. He spoke the Tao of "Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth".
Wang Qi choked and ate half a cup of tea: "I can tell. Fortunately, Mr. Chen has returned to secular life. Otherwise, if he really wanted to become a Taoist priest, he would be a waste to the little Taoist nun."
Chen Chizhong glanced at Wang Qi's waist, looking like he knew what he was doing and didn't say much.
Wang Qi didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or annoyance, her face turned red and she said, "I'm in Xiaozhong, why is Mr. Chen's eyes darting around?"
Chen Chizhong said with a "haha" smile: "I think Qilang's new belt is good. What do Qilang think I'm looking at?"
Wang Qi couldn't hold it in anymore, so she stood up, pointed at Chen Chizhong, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. It's only been a year, and Mr. Chen's thick-skinnedness is almost as thick as mine..."
Before Chen Chizhong could speak, Lu Wenzhao responded.
"Bump!" He put the tea cup down hard, stood up, and said coldly: "Shameless!" After that, without waiting for anyone to react, he turned around and walked out angrily.
Chen Chizhong lowered his face and looked at Lu Wenzhao's back with a gloomy expression.
Being scolded for being confused, Wang Qi thought about how he had never seen Lu Wenzhao these days, let alone offended him, so he asked: "Boss Chen, when did you offend Lu Shudu?"
Chen Chizhong snorted softly and said, "Who knows why he has convulsions."
Wang Qi has known Lu Wenzhao for more than ten years and knows that although he is carefree and careless, he will never lose his temper for no reason.
Chen Chizhong refused to say that Erlang had always walked far away from them, so he must not have known about it, so Wang Qi looked at Liu Congyun.
As expected, Liu Congyun looked like a bitch who knew what he was doing. Wang Qi hurriedly came over and said, "Da Mao, I've only been resting for half a month and I'm already a fool. Let's talk about it. What kind of grudges did Boss Chen and Lu Shu have?"
Are you tired of looking at each other?"
Liu Congyun did not reply immediately, but glanced at Chen Chizhong and said, "This is Mr. Chen's private matter. Qi Lang had better ask Mr. Chen."
Wang Qi had no choice but to approach Chen Chizhong again, suppressed his smile, gave him a slap, and said: "Okay, Boss Chen, you are reporting good news rather than bad news. After all, Lu Wenzhao is the eldest son of the Lu family, and he still has a lot of power behind his back."
It's not easy to offend someone from the Lu family. What's the friction? You can't even care about the relationship between the windows?"
No matter what, he has some real friendship with Boss Chen, so he has to worry about him.
Even if Chen Chizhong is in the palace and has the heir apparent to support him, as one of the four surnames in Anlu, the Lu family will do no good if he offends him.
Seeing the concern on his face, Chen Chizhong calmed down slightly and said: "Qi Lang, don't worry, it's nothing serious, it's just that you don't mean what you say."
Seeing that Wang Qi was full of curiosity and wanted to ask more questions, he had to add another sentence: "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Mr. Lu sent someone to invite me over for dinner. He was too quick to talk."
It is not in line with Mr. Lu's nature to invite his son's classmates to visit him during the first lunar month.
Mr. Lu is famous for not being able to afford an early break without profit, and all dealings with favors depend on the word profit. Even if his uncle borrows money, he must write an IOU and indicate the interest to the owner.
Although the Lu family is the last of the four surnames in Anlu, this is also because the children of the Lu family did not rank well in the imperial examinations, and their official career depends on donating officials. It is difficult to advance into the officialdom by donating officials, and of course it is not as good as the other three families. They have enough backers in the officialdom.
.
However, the Lu family's officialdom is weak, but they can borrow the power of their in-laws.
Thinking of this, Wang Qi roughly guessed the reason. Seeing Chen Chizhong's depressed look, he didn't dwell on the matter any further.
Although the palace was on holiday before the Laba Festival, when Mrs. Wang was attending the funeral, everyone else also returned to the palace to assist in the funeral, so everyone gossiped about interesting things during the first half of the New Year.
After eating two cups of tea, the Taoist idiot was thinking about Hu Tou, so he told everyone and came out of the tea room. He thought about going to the front to greet Hu Tou. If Hu Tou hadn't come yet, he would go to the shop in Xicheng to look for Hu Tou's hall.
Brother, ask around.
Wang Qi heard that he was going to meet Hutou and followed him out.
After leaving Lequn Hall, Wang Qi said with a face full of gossip: "Erlang, brother knows why Shudai Lu is angry."
The Taoist idiot asked: "Why?"
Wang Qi smiled and said: "How can Mr. Lu treat people to dinner for free? Since he is staring at Mr. Chen, there must be a reason. Although Mr. Chen is a lonely man, he has Xuanmiao Temple and 500 hectares of land in his name. In the Anlu world,
In addition to the palace and the four surnames, Mr. Chen has a lot of land. Mr. Lu is probably eyeing Mr. Chen’s land." At this point, he touched his chin and seemed to have some understanding, and said: "No wonder in the past six months, there has always been
I feel that there is something wrong with Boss Chen. Even if he does hire a few maids, it is just his own private matter, so why make it known to everyone. It seems that he has other motives. I am afraid that it is not just the Lu family who is targeting Boss Chen.
He had no intention of accepting a son-in-law call from a wealthy family, and he didn't want to offend others too much, so he had to appear more romantic."
Five hundred hectares of land, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
The Taoist idiot thought that after Chen Chizhong received the Xuanmiao Temple to watch the delivery, he changed out of his Taoist robe and stayed in the palace. He was afraid that he knew in his heart that with these properties in his hands, if he didn't hold the prince's thigh tightly, he would be eaten alive when he went out.
Chen Chizhong looks rough, but he is quite calculating at heart.
The two brothers left the school and went to the gate of the palace.
Before reaching the gate, I saw a tiger head coming towards me.
Wang Qi was overjoyed to see this. Just as he was about to say hello, his expression changed before he could speak, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Who hit this..."
Hutou raised his head, holding the slap mark on half of his face, looking at Dao Chi, with tears welling up in his eyes.
The Taoist idiot's face suddenly turned dark...
