Chapter 271: Tough Relationship
At this moment, the master Zhan Ruoshui, who was missed by the Lu family siblings, was slowly arriving in a car with two or three disciples.
"Master still loves Junior Brother Lu. As soon as he received his letter, he set off." Zhou Congguang and Junior Brother Wei Wenqian bit their ears.
The master traveled all the way to this remote corner of the mountains in Liaodong County. What is this if not favor?
Wei Wenqian lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother Zhou, don't you understand? For our master, studying abroad is not the only place to go? Junior Brother Lu said that his second sister had lied. If our master is willing to go to Liaodong County to have a look,
She is willing to arrange the wife's return trip." With such sincerity, their wife will be moved.
In Master's words, I haven't been to Liaodong County for many years to see if there are any changes.
Zhan Ruoshui quickly opened the curtain of the carriage, "What are you two talking about? Why don't you quickly find a place to stop the carriage and light a fire to cook? I want to starve your wife to death!" The two of them whispered so loudly, and he was not
If you are deaf, how can you not hear?
But look what they said? Traitors!
Is he that kind of person? Well, even if he went to Liaodong County for the promise of taking care of Cheng Yi as mentioned by his second sister, he is also a diligent and thrifty man. Is that wrong? A bunch of guys who don't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt are when they don't know how to be rich!
While eating, Zhou Congguang said while holding the vegetables, "Master, I have some new ideas recently about the thing I am studying."
Zhan Ruoshui encouraged him, "Have you got a new idea? That's great."
"Master, I want to test whether my new idea is right."
Zhan Ruoshui continued to encourage, "Try, you must try!"
"It's not even close to buying experimental equipment——"
Zhan Ruoshui's expression changed, "I don't have any money, I have to find a way by myself!"
"Master——"
"It's no use calling me daddy." At this moment, Zhan Ruoshui wanted to scream to the sky. Why did he accept a bunch of debt collectors?
No wonder he hasn’t saved any pension money yet! It’s all the traitors who misled him!
Zhou Congguang was about to say more, but Wei Wenqian stopped him and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, don't go looking for Master. I guess his pocket is cleaner than his face at the moment."
Zhou Congguang cried sadly, "What should I do?" He really had a hunch that he would succeed this time!
Wei Wenqian suggested, "Senior Brother Zhou, maybe you can follow the path of Junior Brother Lu. His second sister feels quite rich. Why don't you change your mind and start with them and see if you can get some money from them?"
Zhou Congguang's eyes lit up when he heard this...
Houcheng
Prince Gong and his party came to Liaodong County. They were originally ordered by the emperor to resolve the conflict and crisis between the Xianbei Royal Court and Liaodong County. However, the entire crisis had been resolved before their party arrived in Houcheng.
To be honest, Prince Gong was at a loss for a while. But he still decided to go to Houcheng to have a look.
Then Lu Desheng entertained them warmly, and did not hide the entire negotiation process from him, so that he could have an explanation for his trip, so that when he went back to face the emperor, he could talk to the emperor without having to go on a business trip.
The next day, Lu Desheng also asked them kindly if they wanted to rest in Liaodong County for a few days before returning to Chang'an?
He also said that during the break, they could walk around and learn more about local folk customs.
Of course, Prince Gong agreed without saying a word. He was old, and the journey from Chang'an to Liaodong County was more than three thousand miles. They and their group were really on the road, and they almost broke his old bones.
Fallen apart.
A few days' rest would suit his wishes. As for whether he wants to take a walk? Let's talk about it later.
Lu Desheng only stayed with them for half a day, and later apologized to Prince Gong that he had just come to Houcheng and had a lot of official matters waiting for him to deal with, so he could not accompany him around in person. However, he had already arranged the rest of the itinerary for him.
He and his entourage can just relax and have fun.
Through Guo Chunsheng, Lu Desheng arranged for a well-spoken local to lead them around, visit special attractions, and taste local delicacies.
There was still plenty of time, and with the persuasion of his entourage, Prince Gong simply had fun for a few days.
If we say, the original and unique scenery in Liaodong County makes them feel a little bit special.
So, when Lu Desheng arranged for people to take them to Anshi, Fangxian County on the coast, they saw the magnificent sea, which made them, officials who had been living in the interior of Chang'an, particularly shocked.
But after they had played for a few days, they heard that someone else was coming from Chang'an.
The following group of people were ordered by the emperor to reward the members of the Houcheng negotiation team headed by Lu Desheng.
Prince Gong felt that this was expected. Lu Desheng and others had made meritorious service, and it was normal for the emperor to reward them.
Then he found out that the person who came to announce the decree was his old acquaintance Zhou Chengzhong.
Within two days, this old acquaintance and his group were also sent to him by Lu Desheng.
In Lu Desheng's words, they are both old acquaintances in the court. If they play together, they will have more common topics.
Zhou Chengzhong seriously suspected that Lu Desheng was herding him and Prince Gong as sheep. As the saying goes, if one sheep is being herded, two sheep are also being herded.
However, just a few days after they met, news came out that Lu Desheng wanted to locate the county governor's residence in Houcheng.
After hearing this, Prince Gong was dumbfounded at first, then jumped to his feet, "Did he get the emperor's consent? He dared to say that the Liaodong County Governor's residence will be in Houcheng? Isn't he afraid that the emperor will punish him for treason?!"
Zhou Chengzhong: As expected of you, Lu Desheng, you are never a peaceful leader, whether in government or in opposition.
Looking at the jumping Prince Gong again, he knew in his heart that this was really a good old man as always.
As soon as the news came out, Prince Gong was no longer in the mood for fun. He wanted to go back to Houcheng and ask Lu Desheng if he knew what he was doing.
Prince Gong pointed at Lu Desheng, "Can't you just stay on your own terms?" He didn't even know what to say to him.
Lu Desheng thought to himself, should I, Lu Desheng, be the one who keeps to myself?
But he said on his face, "Prince Gong, you really can't blame me for this! You don't even know that after I was promoted to the county governor, the people in Houcheng were worried about me leaving Houcheng, and they became so hesitant."
Prince Gong knew from the entourage who stayed behind that what he said was true. From the day the decree was announced, ordinary people passed by the county government office every day to pay attention to the activities of the county government office and whether Lu Desheng was about to move away.
"Then you can't kill first and then show off."
"In urgent matters, follow authority. I think the emperor loves the people so much that he will definitely understand."
Zhou Chengzhong: If you don’t understand, you won’t love the people as your own children? Lu Desheng, you are digging holes in your words. You really haven’t changed your nature.
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. I just want to say, if you continue to act so willfully, I'm afraid you won't end up well in the end."
Lu Desheng gave up and said, "We'll talk about the future later." He sneered in his heart. He just kept to himself and didn't make any mistakes, so he could have a happy ending?
Take the negotiation with the Xianbei royal court as an example. If he and his daughter didn't bother, they might now become the souls of some Xianbei warriors.
Lu Desheng changed the subject, "Prince Gong, Mr. Zhou, officials from the Liaodong County Sheriff's Office and the magistrates of the eighteen counties are all here. How about we meet and have dinner together later?" He kept them for so long, and it finally came in handy.
