As night falls gradually, the lights of the Lu family flash like stars at night.

Dongpozhai, after the girl served the old man to take a bath, Hong Quan had already started grinding ink in the study, and Lu Shanchang copied scriptures at night. This habit rarely slacked off in twenty years.

However, he seemed to be in a bad mood today. After he took the pen from the pen holder, he wrote a few lines and put it on the pen. The girl brought the teacup over. He picked up the teacup, stood up and walked straight to the front of the grille window, staring at the window.

"Hong Quan'er, have you figured it out?" Lu Shanchang said.

Hong Quan hunched over and said, "It's probably clear that we have not raised many people in Yangzhou, so there may be differences in the detailed situation!"

He paused and said, "Brother Zheng has suffered a lot of hardships in Yangzhou, suffered a lot of crimes, and has survived many times. Whenever he encounters danger, he will be a god-like figure and come over miraculously. For details, I will tell you slowly..."

"After Lu Zheng arrived in Yangzhou, the first person to take action was the second grandmother Zhang Fuhua..."

Hong Quan's voice was not high and his speech was neither slow nor fast, but he told everything Lu Zheng had experienced in Yangzhou. If Lu Zheng heard it on the scene, he would probably be scared. The four great men in Jiangnan were indeed not simple.

In addition to the superficial power, the Lu family secretly raised countless people. The entire Jiangnan and even the entire Dakang seem to have a website belonging to the Lu family.

Lu Shanchang started a thorough investigation of Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng's experience in Yangzhou for one year could appear on Lu Shanchang's desk in one day.

"Slowly, where do you think the Green Bamboo Forest is?" Lu Shanchang suddenly interrupted Hong Quan's narrative and said.

Hong Quan shook his head and said, "This is not clear. It is inconspicuous in Yangzhou. It may be the residence of a certain hermit?"

"It's not that simple!" Lu Shanchang shook his head and said, "I have heard of the Green Bamboo Forest three times. The last time you told me Dai Yong, I heard the Green Bamboo Forest once. The file you gave me Nie Yong during the day, and I also saw the Green Bamboo Forest. Zheng'er went to the Green Bamboo Forest every few days. Is this place an ordinary place?"

"Zheng'er is just a teenager, but how experienced he is? Although the Zhang family is not worth mentioning, he can look down on the enemy everywhere and fight back with great cleverness. How can it be possible without anyone to give me some advice?" Lu Shanchang said.

He paused slightly and said, "Nie Yong failed to succeed in Yangzhou for three years, but suddenly rose up. From a time perspective, it was only after he and Zheng'er met him. This may not be a coincidence.

This time Nie Yong is so concerned again. If the two were just masters and apprentices, I guess they wouldn't be that way! I think these things should be Zheng'er's plan, and his intention is not to stay in the Lu family! Hey..."

Hong Quan frowned slightly. After a long time, he seemed to understand it and said, "Young Master Zheng is so qualified, young and promising! Just..."

Lu Shanchang shook his head and said, "I used to be worried about what you are worried about, but now I think about it. Under the protection of my Lu family, no matter how good the seedlings are, they will be difficult to achieve anything.

The wealthy and powerful families and noble families are either bound by various constraints and cannot perform, or are like Jun'er, greedy for wealth and not enterprising. No matter how good the horse farm is, they cannot raise wild horses. Throughout history, all great talents have gone through hardships..."

Lu Shanchang paused and said, "As long as Lu Zheng's surname is 'Lu', he will have no relationship with the Lu family in Jiangning. The higher he goes and the further he goes, the closer this relationship will be.

So, don’t worry that he can truly leave the Lu family. He will always be a member of the Lu family. Blood is thicker than water, and it will change continuously, and his bloodline will not change no matter what!”

Hong Quan nodded gently without making a sound.

"Hong Quan'er, what do you think of Liuhe?"

Hong Quan said: "Zhan Tianqi came to Nie Yong, but he was afraid he was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. This great governor who had never fought a war was not stupid. He thought of first seizing military affairs and then capturing the benefits of Jiangnan.

But the prince's identity is too sensitive, and a place like Jiangnan is too eye-catching. Zhan Tianqi needed someone to stabilize his rear, so he found Nie Yong.

Hehe, Nie Yong was unsuccessful in Yangzhou for three years. From Yangzhou to Jinling, I wonder how many people want to see him make a fool of himself! Liuhe is not comparable to a small county under Yangzhou? This person has been in office for several months and is said to be played around with by others. He is a county magistrate who is useless!"

A playful look appeared in Lu Shanchang's turbid eyes and said quietly: "I remember that Liuhe County Magistrate Qiao Zhisong was the Prisoner of the Ministry of Justice before?"

"Yes, County Magistrate Qiao is indeed a disciple of the Gu family. What the master means is..."

Lu Shanchang smiled and said, "Liuheyi County seems remote, but it has two unique conditions. The first is that the Nanfu Army is in Liuhe. Second, the golden waterway of the river passes through Liuhe forty or fifty miles. The Gu family has been operating in Liuhe for many years and has taken deep roots, but they dare not show up too much. It is really a contradiction!"

"If Nie Yong wants to break the deadlock, he must use the entanglement between the Gu family and the court, or the struggle for interests in all aspects. However, this matter is easy to say, but it is probably not easy to do."

Hong Quan said: "Master, there is another thing you can't forget. Nie Yong called out Dai Thief. Zhan Tian used him, and it was probably the sound of "Dai Thief" that sounded so good! The story between Dai Thief and our Jiangnan Quanjia was very long, so I don't know if Nie Yong can be right!"

Lu Shanchang raised his hand and said, "Okay, we are in Jiangning, and we can't reach Yingtian, so let's watch the fire across the river! Okay, I don't want to write today's handwriting anymore, I'll get up early tomorrow!"

...

There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Lu Shanchang and Lu Qian both got up early, but neither went to the yamen.

Lu Zheng lived in the yard of the second bedroom last night. Qi Qiuyue and his mother and son met, and were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.

Good guy, as soon as Lu Zheng came back, Qi Qiuyue now has a unique courtyard. Although there is only a small courtyard with three rooms, it is no longer the same as when he lived in the back house.

In addition to a yard, the family also gave Qi Qiuyue four girls and two mothers, and the monthly money was also given according to other concubines. There were also many rewards for various New Year holidays. Qi Qiuyue finally got rid of the life of a slave and was now able to be the master.

She was happy, but also worried. Her worries were that Lu Zheng had just returned home and was leaving again. I don’t know how Lu Zheng was doing when he went to Yingtian. She really didn’t have much confidence in her heart!

When he got up in the morning, Lu Zheng combed his hair under Ying'er's service. Ying'er said, "Young Master, have you not seen Shichen? It's getting late!"

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

Ying'er said, "Can you be fine? The breakfast prepared by my aunt has been hot for you several times. Also, you haven't been to greet you yet by the master and wife. I guess Mr. Nie will come to pick you up later. Time is very tight!"

After Lu Zheng finished coughing, Qi Qiuyue came up with a smile and said, "Hurry up and eat, you are really tired from coming from Yangzhou. Why don't you just take a rest at home and then go to Yingtian to study?"

A trace of warmth suddenly arose in Lu Zheng's heart. He was full of gratitude for the woman in front of him. This gratitude comes from a part of the front master, and a large part of him himself.

According to conventional rules, Qi Qiuyue could bow to Mrs. Zhang like Lu Qian’s other concubines. As long as she bows her head and obeys Mrs. Zhang’s arrangements in everything, she will be her master long ago. How could she suffer so much and suffer so much?

But the problem is that Mrs. Zhang cannot tolerate other concubines and children, but it is okay for her daughter. If she has a boy, she will never tolerate her. Qi Qiuyue fights Mrs. Zhang like a moth to the fire. Her only purpose is to save Lu Zheng's life. If it weren't for her desperate protection, Lu Zheng would not have lived today.

There is still a very clear memory clip in Lu Zheng's mind. This is when Lu Zheng was sent to Yangzhou by Mrs. Zhang to leave. Qi Qiuyue hugged him desperately and cried.

She said, "Mom is really helpless. If there is a little solution, I will not hesitate even if I let my mother sacrifice her life. Mom doesn't really want to fight with her wife, and she also wants to be the master and serve the master. But the wife doesn't let you live, and she can only fight to protect you...

But today my mother can’t protect her. You go to Yangzhou and let your uncle follow you. If you can’t survive, my mother will not survive. In the next life, we will be born in a good birth and will never be bullied again..."

When Lu Zheng saw Qi Qiuyue, this picture suddenly appeared in his mind. His eyes turned red. He instantly believed in his heart that the woman in front of him was his mother, and he was the closest person in this world, no doubt about it.

Qi Qiuyue wanted to stay in Lu Zheng for a few more days, which would naturally not work. First of all, Nie Yong was in trouble and didn't wait for me. He really needed help. In addition, Lu Zheng was worried that there were too many dreams at night, so he finally found a chance to leave the Lu family. If he lived in the Lu family, it would be inappropriate if his life changed.

While eating, Lu Zheng comforted Qi Qiuyue with great urgency. After breakfast, Lu Zheng needed to pay homage to his parents, so he went to Mrs. Zhang's yard first.

Mrs. Zhang guessed that she knew Lu Zheng was going to go, so she deliberately hid. The girl in the yard said that her wife had gone to the temple fair early in the morning. Lu Zheng felt relieved. From the bottom of her heart, he really didn't want to call a mother who had no blood relationship with him.

Mrs. Zhang is not in the yard, while Lu Qian is in the study. His study is called "Yangqizhai", which is the meaning of Mencius's great spirit. Outside the study is a large yard, with green pines, cypresses, green willows and bamboos in the yard, and the design is very elegant.

When Lu Zheng stepped into this courtyard, his first feeling was quiet and silent. If a girl hadn't seen Lu Zheng and took the initiative to lead the way, he would have thought that no one would live here.
