Chapter 211 Slap!
Lu Qian almost didn't fall asleep all night. What happened during the day caused him a huge impact, so where can he sleep at night?
Indeed, he was relatively unfamiliar with Lu Zheng, or very unfamiliar with him. This was not because of his great prejudice against legitimate and illegitimate, but because of his personality. In fact, it was not only Lu Zheng, but even his legitimate son Lu Jun, the father and son had almost never had intimate communication.
In Lu Qian's world, children and daughters-in-law are all insignificant. He cares about the future and future of the Lu family, as well as his own future and future.
Since the late emperor suppressed the powerful families, after so many years, the life of the wealthy families in Jiangnan has become increasingly sad. The Lu family, who was the Duke's family back then, has now fallen to the six tribes in the capital, and it can be said that it has reached an extremely marginal position in the court.
Lu Qian was born as a juren, and now he has only become a fifth-rank official and a free position. The Tongzheng Department of the Southern Dynasty was a yamen for free. Lu Qian was also doing nothing while staying in the yamen. Therefore, he spent most of his time calling friends and making friends with his family, hoping to win fame through this, thus attracting the attention and attention of the court, and ultimately realizing his ambitions.
I have to say that Lu Qian is a person with lofty ambitions, but his ideals are beautiful and his reality is cruel. He has not improved his career until he is in his forties. Outsiders see him very glamorous, but in fact he knows his own hardships best.
If he keeps going like him, he may end up in the fifth grade in his life. He is often tormented by this idea. Sometimes he even doesn’t want to have a tea or a meal. How can he still have the intention to care about his family and children?
However, Lu Zheng's sudden appearance during the day yesterday really shocked him. This is his own son, but it made him look ugly in public.
Seeing that Lu Zheng was not old, he actually challenged him openly and succeeded in the end. People like Lu Qian who wanted to save face lost all their face yesterday, how could he easily let it go?
The first time he faced his descendants, the first time he felt the threat from young people.
It was also the first time he felt that he might be getting older because his son had grown up. Lu Zheng's performance yesterday was not something Lu Qian thought he could not do. Lu Zheng's sophistication made him extremely terrified to think about it carefully.
Although he didn't care about the housework, he knew more or less about the situation at his family. It was certain that Zhang was jealous and could not tolerate Lu Zheng. Yesterday's incident must have been the struggle between Zhang and Lu Zheng.
However, Lu Qian never dreamed that Lu Zheng was so powerful that he not only plotted against Zhang, but also plotted against him, a dignified fifth-rank official, and his father, and even the old man seemed to have been fooled by him.
Lu Zheng's heart was not in the Lu family at all. From the beginning, he thought about leaving the Lu family. Hong Shen made a special trip to Yangzhou to pick up people and returned empty-handed. From that time on, Lu Zheng had already begun to plan step by step.
In the end, Lu Zheng made a successful plan and he was about to leave the Lu family today. Before that, he caused a huge uproar in the Zhang family.
"Master, Brother Zheng is here to pay your respects!" Hong Shen said with his head down.
"Yes!" Lu Qian snorted softly, his eyelids slightly raised.
Lu Zheng entered the door respectfully, lowered his head, bent over, walked to Lu Qian, knelt down according to Dakang's etiquette, and said, "Lu Zheng pays homage to his father, good morning, father!"
Lu Qian stared at Lu Zheng and saw Lu Zheng's appearance, which seemed respectful, but in fact, Lu Qian could feel it clearly.
Originally, Lu Qian tossed and turned for a night, and the anger in his heart had completely subsided, but at this moment, he suddenly became angry again.
As the head of the family, Lu Qian has dignity. Lu Zheng dares to despise him? Ignore him? It's really outrageous. Why is Lu Zheng so arrogant? Just because of his status as a scholar now?
Subconsciously, Lu Qian was about to get angry, but he thought again, Lu Zheng was obviously respectful. If he got angry, wouldn’t he look down on himself? Besides, Lu Zheng did not make any mistakes. Even if he was angry, he would curse him at most. After being scolded, Lu Zheng turned around and went to Yingtian. Lu Qian could not find a place to curse him again!
In this way, he stared at Lu Zheng for a full cup of tea before snorting coldly: "Will you go to Yingtian today?"
Lu Zheng said: "The car arranged by Master Nie has arrived outside the house. The child is here to say goodbye to his father!"
Lu Qian said coldly: "In your eyes, I'm afraid my father is nothing at all, right? Humph!" Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he lowered his head and said, "When Lu Qian saw Lu Zheng's appearance, he became more and more annoyed. He shook his long sleeves and said:
"Okay, okay! If you see the gift, go wherever you like!"
Lu Zheng still looked that way and said respectfully: "Father, that child will surrender!"
Lu Zheng left as soon as he said that, stood up and left the door. There was no slight disrespect in etiquette. After leaving, he walked straight outside the yard without looking back.
"Uh..." Lu Qian couldn't speak in a daze. According to his thoughts, Lu Zheng should have said a few words, such as "child panic", because he was meant to be angry, but he didn't let Lu Zheng leave just by shaking his hands!
Lu Zheng's approach is to pretend to be confused when he understands it. When Lu Qian asks him to leave, he is not polite and turns around and leaves, not caring about Lu Qian's emotions at all!
Lu Qian's face became very gloomy, and a fire of anger surged into the sky. However, Lu Zheng had already gone out at this time, and it was too late for him to stop calling.
He has been a parent for so long. In the Lu family, except Lu Shanchang, he has the highest prestige. Not to mention the children of the second wife, even the younger generation of the Lu family, there is no one who disrespects him. His words from Lu Qian were all afraid of his juniors, but today, he felt that his majesty was openly provoked by Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng didn't take him seriously at all!
"This is a rude!" Lu Qian muttered, grabbed the teacup in his hand, and threw it to the ground hard. With a "bang", the teacup was broken into pieces.
"Huh?" He frowned suddenly and walked to the window. Through the window, he saw Lu Zheng being stopped in the yard by Hong Shen. The two seemed to be talking...
Lu Zheng came out of Lu Qian's study and felt relieved. He did not think about Lu Qian's thoughts carefully. For him, Lu Qian was just a politeness.
He has been very strange to Lu Qian since he was a child. Lu Qian is not much different from strangers to him, so there is no relationship at all. He doesn't hate this person very much, either love or hate, or is plain or dispensable, that's all.
After seeing Lu Qian, he had completed a task. Next, he could go to Yingtian with peace of mind. At this moment, he saw Hong Shen.
"Brother Zheng, please stay!" Hong Shen came over with a smile and said, "Brother Zheng, I went to Yangzhou to pick you up, but you teased me. I wonder if it is because I am not very kind on weekdays, or is it because my brother has such prejudices against me?"
Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said lightly: "Why did Butler Hong say this?"
Hong Shen said: "Brother Zheng, don't pretend to be confused when you understand me. Let me tell you this. Maybe you think your wings are hard, and you can go through the vast sky without relying on the Lu family.
Hehe, it’s a pity that you don’t understand one thing. If you leave the Lu family, you will be nothing. From yesterday to today, you have offended many people, especially the wife and the master. The wife and the master are generous and have not been calculating with you. Brother Zheng, do you know why this is?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, stared at Hong Shen, and said, "Is that so? Butler Hong, what do you want to say?"
Hong Shen said: "What I want to say is that no matter where you are or where you go, you are under the control of the Lu family. You can take care of you in Yangzhou Lu family. If you go to Yingtian, the Lu family can still control all your movements at any time.
So, don’t be too proud or too conceited at any time. Young people should understand the superiority and inferiority and filial piety. You have just achieved some small achievements, and the old man just wants you to have fun.
However, the moon has its phases and waxing, and people have good fortune and good fortune every day. Who can always go smoothly? Brother Zheng, are you saying what I said reasonable?"
Lu Zheng suddenly smiled, he waved to Hong Shen and said, "Butler Hong, come here and I'll tell you!"
Hong Shen slowly came over and Lu Zheng said, "A little closer?"
Hong Shen got closer, and Lu Zheng suddenly took action, slapped Hong Shen in the face and slapped him in the face. He deliberately took action, and it was extremely fast, and Hong Shen had no defense at all.
The slap in the face, Hong Shen screamed "Ah..." and felt that his eyes were dark and he almost fell to his head. He was stunned and stared at Lu Zheng with wide eyes, unable to believe the scene in front of him.
Lu Zheng dares to hit him?
At the same time, Lu Qian, who had been secretly watching the movements in the distance, was also shocked. His hand shook, and a new teacup he had just picked fell to the ground and broke again.
Lu Zheng took a step forward, stared at Hong Shen, and said, "Butler Hong, I am a person who believes in fate. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. My life and death are not bothered by you!
I'll slap you to tell you one thing, although you are older, you're just a slave. Do you think I dare not do this, so I just do it. Let me see who stands up with you?"
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, his voice suddenly rose and said in a voice that could be heard in the whole yard: "Things that do not know the magnanimity, evil slaves bully the master, I will beat you, who can do what I can do to me?"
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he spat hard, and then walked away without a trace.
"Yangqizhai" Lu Qian could hear Lu Zheng's words clearly, and he couldn't help but get furious. This time he was really angry. Hong Shen was his personal slave and had been by his side for decades. When the descendants of the Lu family saw him, they had to call him Uncle Hong.
Lu Zheng, the slander, dared to slap him in the face. It was really too arrogant. How could he take his father seriously? He was clearly provoking...
