Chapter 248 If I want to have intestines, you have already torn it off
In the evening, the maid came to invite Pei Shan and others to have a meal in Xinghui Courtyard.
Because they were all relatives, there were no separate seats. Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu sat at the top, Pei Shan sat at the bottom of Wang Xiu, and Chen Anbang and Dong Zheng sat next to Lu Yunhong and rounded the table.
During this period, Uncle Cao called back, and Lu Yunhong asked him to wait in the outer hall.
Wang Xiudao: "What's so mysterious? I asked him to come in and agreed to go to dinner, but it's already very late."
Uncle Cao replied outside: "Thank you, grandma, for thinking about it. It's just a small matter. I'll go to the outer hall to wait."
Soon, the maid came in and said that Uncle Cao was gone.
Wang Xiu said to Lu Yunhong: "I only said one thing, and he was busy excusing you. Isn't he talking about the old man of Ji Yunwei's family? Why do he obey you so much?"
Lu Yunhong said with a smile: "Because I belong to the Ji Yunwei family, I know the rules very well. I know that I am working hard for the Ji family."
Wang Xiudao: "His family's property has been entrusted to you. How much trust is this, but you say you are doing coolies? If people outside know about it, they should scold you for being frivolous and ignorant of the world."
Lu Yunhong carefully picked up the fish bones and said without raising his head: "I know that the sky is high and the sky is high, so I know that the Ji family only has a few taels of silver. If they are piled up vertically, it is not as high as the sky, and if they are buried, it is not as deep as the ground. I will take over and take care of his family."
The ancestors will laugh and wake up."
Wang Xiu laughed and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Fortunately Ji Yunwei is not here, otherwise you would be so angry?"
Lu Yunhong said impassionedly: "If I'm still angry, the most I'd like to do is give up my official position and go into business, and then I'll get beaten up by my father when I go back." After saying that, he put all the meat with clean fish bones into Wang Xiu's bowl.
Dong Zheng and Chen Anbang were shocked when they heard that Lu Yunhong was actually in charge of the money of the Household Secretary?
How much money is that? They don’t even dare to think about it.
When Pei Shan arrived, he picked out a bunch of fish bones, put them in a small bowl, and then ate them one by one.
He lowered his head and looked gloomy and said: "I heard people outside saying that Master has bought the alley behind the yard and doesn't know what to do with it. They have been renovating it recently. Many of them have been renovated.
They all have to be torn down and rebuilt.”
Wang Xiu was stunned and asked: "Is that alley in the back Banqiao Hutong?"
Pei Shan raised his head and said with shining eyes: "Exactly."
Lu Yunhong raised his eyes, his eyes uncertain, and said coldly to Pei Shan, "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Pei Shan lowered his head and only focused on eating.
Wang Xiudao: "You bought everything, and you don't want anyone to tell you? That place is remote, there are no streets on both sides, and it's mostly a place for small businesses. Why did you buy it?"
Lu Yunhong said: "It's still being repaired. I'll tell you more about it when it's finished."
Wang Xiujiao said angrily: "You still want to hide it from me first? Is it because you have money in your hands that Huahua's intestines are coming out?"
Just as Lu Yunhong was about to put down his chopsticks, Wang Xiu preceded him and said, "Eat well, or I won't ask you to come out to entertain guests next time."
After hearing this, Lu Yunhong sighed and felt helpless, and muttered: "If I had a colorful intestine, you would have torn it apart long ago."
Dong Zheng on the side coughed in fright, his expression quite horrified.
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is talking nonsense to me."
Dong Zheng nodded repeatedly and then said: "Yesterday I received a letter from home saying that Shengfang gave birth to a big fat boy on March 26th and asked me to name him. I don't have enough ink in my belly. I'll ask my cousin if I come today.
Cousin-in-law, please help me think about it."
Lu Yunhong and Wang Xiu were both surprised, but they were really happy for their couple.
Wang Xiudao: "I don't know how to choose a name, but since my nephew has been born, of course I, the cousin aunt, have to prepare some gifts to send."
With that said, he asked Rongrong to go down and prepare.
Dong Zheng quickly thanked him and did not refuse.
Lu Yunhong said: "The eldest son and grandson of the Dong family should be chosen by you yourself. You should think about it carefully when you go back."
Dong Zheng didn't force himself after hearing this. He smiled and said he would consider it carefully when he went back.
Wang Xiuze asked: "Do you want to join the job in the capital, or do you want to wait to go to other provinces?"
"Maybe you can go back to Wuxi. You have to come up with an idea so I can ask for you."
Dong Zheng was overjoyed and said quickly: "If you want to stay in the capital, we can bring Shengfang and her son over when the time comes. We have relatives in the capital so we can take care of them."
Wang Xiu nodded and said: "There are many vacancies in the capital, and the six ministries all have idle positions. In that case, I will help you ask after you finish the Shujishi exam."
Dong Zheng thanked him immediately, his heart settled and he was very happy.
Chen Anbang didn't say a word, he just laughed as if he already had his own plans. In fact, he was so confused that he just couldn't speak.
He also wanted to stay in the capital. After all, capital officials had more prospects than local officials and could be promoted faster.
Besides, Jiuqing mostly came from the Hanlin Academy. He wanted to pass the Shujishi exam and stay in the Hanlin Academy with Pei Shan. It would be better if he could catch the emperor's eye.
Chen Anbang glanced at Pei Shan secretly and found that he didn't talk much while eating. The only thing that interrupted was that Wang Xiu wanted to know what Lu Yunhong was doing recently. Lu Yunhong didn't say anything, so he told everything he knew.
It can be seen that the person he wants to protect in his heart is not Lu Yunhong at all, but Wang Xiu.
Wang Xiu was also thinking about his favorite dish and asked his maid to place it in front of Pei Shan. His preference was very conspicuous.
However, these are all on the surface, and Lu Yunhong knows very well that there must be nothing worthy of his attention.
How did Pei Shan fall into Wang Xiu's eyes? He really wanted to know this.
After having enough wine and food, Pei Shan sent Chen Anbang and Dong Zheng out.
When he came back, he saw Lu Yunhong and Uncle Cao discussing something in the side hall. When he saw him, he called over.
Lu Yunhong glanced at Pei Shan, his eyes deep.
Pei Shan was ready to be scolded, but Lu Yunhong said: "Tomorrow when I go to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty, remember to be humble and polite, and don't let anyone take advantage of you. But don't be pedantic and weak and let others bully you. At least you have someone behind you.
The prince and the Wang family do not ask you to bury your head in a pile of books and then ignore everything."
Pei Shan lowered his head in agreement, feeling a little complicated.
Lu Yunhong waved his hand and said calmly: "Go back and rest."
Pei Shan nodded and left. When he left, he heard Uncle Cao reporting back: "The small courtyard built by Duke Ding was originally used to raise flowers and entertain birds. I heard that our family wanted to use it, so I sent the deed to the house.
I thought about sending it with market price money, but his family may not be willing to accept it. If I don't send it, wouldn't I owe you a favor? So I came here specifically to see you."
Lu Yunhong said: "It doesn't matter, I will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it."
Uncle Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but then added: "I heard that the Yushitai is going to participate, and that our Lu family occupies land that is disturbing the people. I wonder if we should take care of it?"
Lu Yunhong sneered and said: "I am better than them at writing pamphlets to complain. I really think I am something. I don't need to be used to it. I just pretend I don't know."
Uncle Cao swallowed. This was the first time he heard someone say, don't let censors who help others criticize you with words and writing, as if they are scoundrels.
This is also in the Lu family. If it was in the Ji family, he would have to do something.
Unknowingly, Uncle Cao straightened his back. Although Lu Yunhong did not have an official position now, the feeling of working with him was very different from working with Master Ji.
Lu Yunhong's temper seems to be all-round, and he can make some connections and favors with anyone.
But to be serious, he is like that persimmon lantern, which looks easy to pinch, but when you reach out to it, you are afraid that a layer of skin will be burned off.
