Chapter 420 Xu Rentu talks about his life, and Song Keli takes up his new position as the commander.
The old man who rarely talks about his descendants takes a break, his expression is desolate. Lu Dongjiang’s face was pale, he was sweating profusely in the middle of winter, and his back was soaked in sweat on his official clothes.
Before I saw the carriage, I smelled the horse’s hooves first.
Lu Feiqi sighed softly: “The four words of protection are not good, but they reveal the true meaning of being an official. Now the three surnames of the Qing Party are in the same power, and they are all in their own way. Not only do they go their own way, but they also need to be inferior to each other. How can they go far in Qingzhou? Grandpa is no longer able to make up for the future. He gets all the benefits he should get, and it is difficult to grab anything from Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu’s pockets. Grandpa can’t do it, and you can’t do anything to seize food from the tiger’s mouth. But grandpa can do one thing before he dies, that is, to take you outside another chessboard, there is not much room for trouble. Unlike the old chessboard, which is intertwined, it is very important to be complacent. Even if the Lu family is not strong enough, the descendants of the Lu family will not starve to death.”
Lu Dongjiang once had a close meeting with Chu Lushan, the Northern Liang Dynasty, on Chunshen Lake. Although he did not participate in the conversation, his wisdom in dealing with the world was enough to capture the signs. Moreover, Lu Chengyan secretly returned to Northern Liang, but Lu Dongjiang was unwilling to think deeply. Not to mention that the Northern Liang Dynasty was cold and bitter, the key was that it was as powerful as a burden. Lu Dongjiang was born in peace and was used to the peaceful days of drought and flood. Even if his daughter could become a concubine of the vassal king, she never felt glory. She had a momentum of joy and was killed. Lu Dongjiang woke up in the middle of the night several times, but she did not dare to question her grandfather’s claim.
As the sound of horse hooves became clearer, Lu Dongjiang mustered up his courage and said, “Grandpa, on the old chessboard, even if the Lu family is growing, they can still hope that a national player will regain the lost territory in the future. But if they change the chessboard that may be overturned one day, no matter whether the Lu family chess player is grandson or who will lose all the game, do you really need to change it?”
Lu Feiqi narrowed his eyes, Lu Dongjiang was sweating profusely, and he didn’t dare to wipe it. After saying his heart in one go, he suddenly reduced his momentum and said, “It’s the grandson who was wrong.”
He did not want to smile at the old man who was serious about the eldest grandson and patted Lu Dongjiang on the shoulder, “Dongjiang, Grandpa has been waiting for this day for many years.”
Lu Dongjiang suddenly looked up with disbelief. Lu Feiqi looked at the dim sheep house at the end and said with relief: “It is not enough to just worship the ancients, but to write poetry and be the same as a person. If you don’t even have the courage to say no to grandpa in this life, you will be very disappointed when you close your eyes. The reason why grandpa is very smart and tactful is that she is more intelligent than you, knowing when to nod and when to shake his head. Grandpa has been in the capital for three years in this life, and has been knelt down by so many people, many of whom have now become the six ministers of the ministers. You said that you are flattering and slapping. If grandpa hears, even if he goes to Beijing, even the blue-eyed one will treat you with courtesy. How can Wen Taiyi and Hong Lingshu compare with your grandpa, let alone one of them has to shake your tail and beg for mercy with Zhang Julu? One personIf you eat too much bird’s nest and shark fin, if you accidentally eat home-cooked side dishes, you will only have a particularly high appetite. But then again, when grandpa reaches this age, he will inevitably be dizzy. If you want to say who is standing fifty steps away, grandpa will definitely not be able to answer. But looking at the current situation, we should be farther away from you. Besides, Lu Feiqi’s gambling luck has always been good. When I bet for the last time, God will probably give me some face. “
Lu Dongjiang’s heart was filled with depression for many years and was full of energy.
The old man smiled and said, “If you choose a good bird, you are afraid that the big trees will not be reliable; if you change the door, you are afraid that the building will collapse. But the atmosphere of Beiliang does not seem to be declining, it is clearly a situation where the family is becoming more and more prosperous. In the past, it was a strong branch and a weak branch, so it was indeed not suitable to be attached to it. But now the main trunk is gradually growing. On the way back to retirement, my grandfather talked about the general trend of the world with a man named Huang. He said that as long as he could survive the two consecutive trips to the capital of the father and son, it was worth outsiders to take all their wealth. My grandfather agreed with this, which led to the meeting tonight and the Lu family’s departure from their hometown.
The Lu family has a mixed quality. In the future, someone will definitely be arrogant because of Yan’er’s identity. You, the head of the family, do not need to be too restricted. Choose a few Lu family members who are not capable of being given the great responsibility and take the initiative to help the King of New Liang to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Beiliang will probably record this old love in every ten years. If you want to look good in the bonsai in the garden, you have to cut it. You can’t choose it without making any choices. There is no good thing in the world that you are reluctant to leave. “
Lu Dongjiang was both terrified and suddenly said: “The grandson will definitely remember it in his heart. “
The old man who always carried the lantern narrowed his eyes and tried his best to look at the carriage that was gradually approaching. His words were originally warm and invisibly a little hurrying. “Grandpa really hopes that in the next time the government is ups and downs, the Lu family will have an old man like grandpa, who will go to clear the fog and teach his descendants the opportunity. This is grandpa’s greatest wish. “
Lu Dongjiang’s face suddenly changed drastically and he said sadly: “Grandpa, you won’t go to Beiliang with us.”
The old man sighed and finally slowly handed the lantern in his hand to the eldest grandson, smiling and said, “The Lu family has changed its new owner, but someone has to give the old owner an explanation, which has a beginning and an end, which is also a kind of willingness. Besides, during the Qingming Festival, the grave was empty and unreasonable. “
Lu Dongjiang took the lightweight lantern, but he felt as heavy as a pound.
After the old man handed out the lantern, he seemed to be disappointed and relieved. He did not turn his head, but just pointed to the eaves of the mansion behind him and said in a deep voice: “Remember one thing, it is the duty that people are under the eaves, and bow their heads to do things, but don’t forget to look up and be a human being, because this is the duty we cannot lose since the womb falls to the ground. “
The old man quietly straightened his back and looked at the King of Beiliang who was walking down the carriage.
The young general refused to admit defeat after spending all his capital. In order to make a comeback, he begged a group of powerful cabinet masters to give alms to the soldiers.I stopped in the heavy rain, and I stood from early morning to dusk.
And he, Lu Feiji, was one of the elders of the past.
The elderly man with no lantern on his hands was smiling at the corner of his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Dongjiang was shocked and hurried forward to support the Lu family’s ancestor who was falling backwards, and suddenly burst into tears.
The lantern in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
The light goes out when people die.
Xu Fengnian didn’t expect to get off the carriage and wait for such a sudden bad news. Fortunately, the eldest grandson of the Lu family, the future father-in-law, was not a pedantic and rigid sour scholar. He quickly carried his ancestors and led them into the mansion through the side door.
The threshold of the Lu family is indeed much higher than that of ordinary official residences, and the ground in the mansion is also much higher than the alleys outside. Bypassing the glass screen wall that is specially granted to be exceptional, he chose a group of detours from six groups to the west without going through the middle road. The high-ranking clans cannot be square without rules. Not only do the eaves of the detached roads are several inches lower, but the courtyard gate and the ground are also three feet lower than the middle road. They are usually for servants to walk, so many legitimate sons and grandchildren in the wealthy family will never be able to go a detached road in their lifetime from young to old.
Because I met with Xu Xiao and his group in Beiliang tonight, I had already issued a confinement order to the servants after I entered the night, and even the duty of guarding the hospital was exempted. However, there were many relatives and grandchildren and Qingke staff in the mansion, and they might not be able to abide by the rules. There were surprisingly many fences in Xiangfan City. After Li Baishi, who had a double-armored voice and color, left Qingzhou, there were no leader in the phoenixes. In order to compete for the title, they spared no effort. Xiangfan City was almost singing every night. Fortunately, the two big tribes Lu and Wen face to face were close to one end of the sheep house. If many famous and playboys who did not dare to criticize returned to their homes, they would enter the mansion from the other end, and the streets were filled with powder.
The old minister Wen Taiyi, who held the power of promotion and promotion of officials in the world, returned home many years ago to visit his parents to worship the tomb, and cursed him for a while, which made the sheep house live in a long time. When Mr. Wen returned to Beijing, his ignorant great-grandson, before he could reach the title, took two brothels home. The alley immediately regained his old style and was out of control.
Xu Fengnian followed Lu Dongjiang. Although the county magistrate lived a life of food and clothes to reach out, he wanted to be a famous scholar. He was not diligent in his five bodies. He was physically active, and he had a banquet and talk, and climbed up to work. However, the courtyard of the Lu mansion was deep, and Lu Dongjiang walked in a hurry, and was in a daze, and he staggered to the ground. Xu Fengnian picked up the lantern and followed him all the way. Without deliberately supporting him, Lu Dongjiang fell to the ground and was sobbing that he couldn’t stand up.
When a person lives in the world, he must be supported by his spirit. Once this breath is released, everything will be stopped. At that time, at the steps outside the mansion, Lu Feiji, the upper pillar country, forced his breath to avoid losing in front of Xu Xiao. Originally, the oil was about to end and the lamp was about to dry up, but he might still be able to boil it for one or two springs and autumns, like the residual oil boiling, and it was cleaned up quickly.
Xu Xiao sighed when he saw the scholar who had his head hit the ground with a firm head. Xu Fengnian approached and squatted down, stuffed the bamboo lantern into Lu Dongjiang’s hands, and carried the old man’s body himself. Lu Dongjiang sat on the ground, his face pale, wiped his tears, stood up, hesitated for a while, but finally he didn’t say anything and walked forward silently.
