For the Lu family, the highlight of the recent event is the old man’s birthday.

Once a year, Lu Shanchang's birthday is a major event. Today's Lu family can be said to be supported by Lu Shanchang alone. Every time he dies, he is one year older. He counts on his fingers and he is more than seventy years old and there will be no more days in the future.

In the past many years, Lu Shanchang deliberately kept a low profile. He would never disturb outsiders except for his juniors. But this year, Lu Shanchang's birthday has not arrived yet. Some families with related relationships with the Lu family have submitted posts and must come to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Lu.

The old man of the Lu family also turned against his previous low-keyness. Lu Qian came forward and said he wanted to give him a birthday party, but Lu Shanchang did not object. For a moment, the Lu family was busy and preparing for a birthday party became the top priority.

There is another thing related to the birthday party. The old man suddenly wanted to build a garden. He rebuilt a large yard outside the yard where he lived, named "Yunqi Pavilion". Look at this yard, there are five large cottages, pavilions, towers, and rockery and water pavilions in the yard. From the scale, this yard is no less than the large yard where Lu Qian lives.

Everyone in the family knew that the huge yard was probably not built by the old man on a whim, and the owners of the yard were probably Lu Zheng.

The Lu family caused great trouble for this. Lu Zheng is no longer the same now. A three-generation concubine son, but the old man treated him as a treasure and served him, where did he put the faces of his sons such as Lu Qian, Lu Chen, and Lu Cheng?

However, even if the sons felt bad, no one dared to make trouble. Lu Zheng has many skills now, and everyone in the Lu family knows that the big reason why the old man is willing to celebrate his birthday this year is Lu Zheng.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng played a key role in the Lu family's current situation. However, the old man is so biased towards Lu Zheng, which makes the other children of the Lu family feel uncomfortable.

It’s okay for others, even Lu Qian has been very delicious recently, but what can he do if the old man makes this arrangement?

The Lu family is busy with their own thoughts, but no matter what, it cannot cover up the fact that Lu Zheng is no longer as simple as a small concubine to the Lu family.

The reality is so cruel. Lu Zheng has strong enough strength, so strong that even the family has to show his kindness to him. Even the old man condescends to the nobles and personally repairs the residence for Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng is just a scholar now. If Lu Zheng can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future, he can master more power. What else will happen to the Lu family in the future? The Lu family only respects him, and this momentum seems to be irresistible at present.

...

The yard where Hong Quan lives is quite large, but it is located in the northernmost corner of the Lu family courtyard, surrounded by rockery, and there is no sun in the courtyard all day long, making it look gloomy and dark, especially hidden.

It was dark in the night and there was no light in the yard. Hong Quan sat alone under a towering rockery. He was already very old and hidden under the rockery, like a ghost.

"Brother, are you hesitating?" A low and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.

Hong Quan sighed softly and said, "This matter is extraordinary. If it is true, then the birthday of the boss will never be smooth sailing this time. The Gu family is very powerful. You and I have never gained the upper hand for so many years. Even if we really do our best, we may not be able to protect Lu Zheng from all over the world."

"Brother, then what you mean..."

Hong Quan smiled coldly and said, "What can I mean? Life and death are fate and wealth are in heaven. Lu Zheng has experienced so many dangers. This time, even if the Gu family puts all their strength into it, will it definitely hurt him? I don't think so?"

"Uh..." In the darkness, the low and dumb voice was speechless because he had no idea Hong Quan's intentions at all. Now all the hidden forces of the Lu family are focusing on Lu Zheng.

Lu Shanchang knew the lesson of the genius's death, and he had great hopes on Lu Zheng Mountain, and his investment was naturally huge. All the forces under Hong Quan were surrounding Lu Zheng, and the Gu family's slightest disturbance could not be completely hidden from his eyes and ears.

The Gu family and the Lu family have been old families for many years, and naturally they are rivals for many years. Hong Quan is very familiar with the style of the Gu family and Wang Ting's behavior, but he seems to hesitate about what to do about this question.

"Do you doubt my intention? Let me tell you, if this matter is not handled well, Jiangnan will be in a state of chaos! In the current situation, the old man's birthday is about to come, and Wang Ting will definitely take this opportunity to take action.

Lu Zheng was in Liuhe, which was his base camp. The place where he lived was surrounded by the Southern Palace Army. Even if Wang Ting could succeed unexpectedly, his losses would inevitably be huge after he succeeded.

Therefore, his best way is to wait for Lu Zheng to suddenly take action when he leaves Liuhe. It is convenient and easy to deal with!" Hong Quan said in a leisurely manner.

It was originally a clueless thing, but Hong Quan forced himself to analyze it well, and it sounded extremely convincing. He was worthy of being the confidant Lu Shanchang, the Lu family, and indeed not an easy person.

"I understand, boss, are you asking me to make arrangements in secret?" said the hoarse business.

"The best arrangement is to be made in secret. There are only two routes from Liuhe to Jiangning. What you have to do is arrange manpower in the most critical position. If the enemy does not move, you do not move. If there is an enemy situation, you can do it quickly and make it in one go. Just cut the mess and solve the problem with a quick knife!" Hong Quan said quietly. Finally, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, and I feel a little sleepy, you can go!"

A breeze blew, and there seemed to be a little warmth in the yard. The figures hiding in the dark disappeared, as if they had never appeared before.

Hong Quan's expression did not change much, and the hesitation in his expression remained unchanged. After a long time, he said to himself: "Life and death are destined to be rich and noble. Old boss, I am not completely on your side this time, I'm sorry!"

After Hong Quan finished speaking, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a powerful murderous intent was stirred up in his heart. The current situation was turbulent. Since the Gu family used hidden power, they must have been killed.

Since the Gu family has moved, they can take advantage of the situation. Based on his understanding of Wang Ting, Wang Ting will not simply direct the matter to Gu, and the Lu family has no room for maneuver.

Therefore, the Gu family is now posing as an attack on Lu Zheng, but in fact, Wang Ting is very likely to take the lead in attacking the west. The consequences of killing Lu Zheng are too serious, and Wang Ting can find another way.

For example, if Lu Jun suddenly disappeared and died on the bed of a famous star on the pleasure boat, the sudden bad news can greatly eliminate many "rumors".

On the one hand, Lu Jun is gone, and Mrs. Zhang or Lu Qian will do it. Will they forgive Lu Zheng? Lu Zheng is not tolerant of his parents. No matter how hard the old man supports it, the split within the Lu family has already become, and then Wang Ting can use thunder means to suddenly kill Lu Zheng.

By then, when Lu Zheng dies, the biggest suspicion will not fall into the Gu family anyway. Mrs. Zhang loses her son. This woman is a lunatic and her son is his lifeblood. There is nothing she dared not do for Lu Jun.

Maybe if Wang Ting doesn't need to take action, Mrs. Zhang would take the initiative to come through secret channels! By then, the internal strife of the Lu family was unconventional, and the Gu family was easily out of the matter, and all the filth and darkness would never surface...

Hong Quan can see through all this and understand it, but...

I don’t know how long it took, Hong Quan slowly stood up from the chair. He turned his back and entered the darker wing room. He was very tired today and should have rested long ago.

...

Liuhe, the streets of Sankong Bridge are singing and dancing, with bright lights and prosperous prosperity than ever before.

In Tianshui Pavilion, Fan Duoduo's piano sound is melodious and pleasant, sometimes like pearls and jade falling on the plate, sometimes like a waterfall pouring down. The beauty of the guqin music is not as vivid as this woman with exquisite orifices.

After the song was played, Lu Zheng laughed and clapped his hands, "Okay, Miss Duoduo's piano skills are even more powerful than the past!"

Fan Duoduo smiled sweetly, stood up from the guqin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your praise. Duoduo's piano skills are all guided by the young master to achieve today's achievements!"

"Haha!" Lu Zheng laughed loudly, feeling extremely happy. While studying hard, Tianshui Pavilion became Lu Zheng's best place to relax and relax.

Fan Duoduo is smart and has excellent talent. In this era of lack of spiritual games, it is not easy to have fun, but Fan Duoduo can turn many of Lu Zheng's strange thoughts into reality.

For example, the singing method of ancient lyrics is not only one kind of song, but Lu Zheng also has a melody in his heart. He taught Fan Duoduo that the girl could quickly understand it, and the charm of the singing was incomparable to what Lu Zheng thought.

For example, the playing of the piano is not just a fixed five tones. Lu Zheng's mind combines the guqin, the guzheng and other instruments such as the yangqin. He expressed these strange and even deviant ideas with Fan Duoduo. Unexpectedly, Fan Duoduo could really try it, and it made rapid progress. Lu Zheng was more interested in various explorations, and in Fan Duoduo's eyes, Lu Zheng's talent became even more unfathomable.

There was an ancient saying that the world was marching in heaven and earth. In Fan Duoduo's view, Lu Zheng's talent can be said to be marching in heaven and earth. In addition to poetry, Lu Zheng knew everything about classical writings, history, Huang Lao's learning, and Taoist sects.

When talking about music and guqin with Fan Duoduo, it is not just a simple taste, but a surprising speech, which makes Fan Duoduo feel enlightened.
