The rejection of Wang Liye's invitation was certainly not because he disliked his immediate boss, nor was it because he had any doubts about his character.
It's just because he doesn't like to wade into this muddy water. Although he is already standing on the edge of the muddy water, Lu Heng believes that he should be able to stay out of it.
When he came here, Lu Heng enjoyed this peaceful life. The quiet Qinhuai River, the ladies who could only appear in ancient paintings before, and the dreamlike willows in the fog. Of course, there are two other very
Lovely old man.
All of this is what Lu Heng is currently living.
He was very satisfied with his current situation and did not want his life to change. Therefore, faced with Wang Liye's invitation, which obviously had other intentions, Lu Heng could only decline it politely.
When you become the general accountant, you will naturally earn more than before. Of course, your work will also be much busier than before.
However, these extra tasks are just to calculate the account books for the accountants below, re-integrate them, and then see if there are any errors. Perhaps Wang Tingzhi secretly taught the calculation methods she taught her to
Over the past few days, the errors in the account books sent up from below have been significantly reduced. Moreover, from the layout and format of these dozens of account books, Lu Heng can still see the shadow of his own accounting.
Of course, with the update of calculation methods, the speed of accounting by the accountants has also increased. This can be seen from the fact that there are more than double the number of account books than before.
Even so, Lu Heng still integrated all the ledgers before noon. Then, he reviewed it again and only signed his name on it after confirming that it was correct.
After all, he, who has the huge computing power of later generations, has nothing to worry about when faced with the small-scale calculation of numbers and information at this time.
If you have to pretend to be busy every day, it is just a pain in the ass when you are idle.
At noon, someone still brought lunch to Lu Heng. This time the person who delivered the meal was a pretty little maid.
She was wearing a plaid skirt, and because it had been raining these days, a lot of rainwater had accumulated on the ground. There were obvious water stains on the edges of her pair of small embroidered shoes.
Perhaps because of nervousness, the maid buried her face deeply. Looking from the direction of Lu Heng, she could only see a small man holding a huge plate.
After Lu Heng smiled and thanked the new maid, he saw that the girl's face was red and she turned away shyly.
After having some free time in the afternoon, Lu Heng sat in the room and flipped through the books for a while, but found them boring. He wanted to find a book similar to Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, but was disappointed to find that there was a book on the bookshelf.
All are textbooks such as The Analects of Confucius.
Out of boredom, he spread out a large piece of rice paper on the table.
After grinding it, I stood next to the table and started practicing the art I had put aside for a long time.
In his previous life, when making strategies, pictures were an indispensable part. Before that, Lu Heng still did it by himself. But after that, he handed it over to specialized graphic designers.
As the work became more and more busy, in the end, not only was the design stopped, but even the usual painting time was squeezed out. Now, when I pick up the pen again, I really feel that my hand is a lot better.
This time, Lu Heng painted bamboo.
In Chinese paintings, there are landscapes and birds. However, bamboo is one of the most difficult to draw. Painting bamboo not only requires the painter to be highly skilled, but also requires a sufficient understanding of the habits of bamboo and the details of its growth at each time.
Among the famous people Lu Heng knew in his previous life, there were only one or two who were the best at painting bamboo. Among them, Zheng Banqiao was the undisputed number one bamboo painter.
In the room, the charcoal in the brazier was burning brightly. The antique furniture quietly exuded the scent of sandalwood. A scholar in a simple light blue gown stood in front of the table with a smile, holding a brush in his hand, with an indifferent expression.
The paper is wandering.
It wasn't until the light of the charcoal fire dimmed in the brazier that Lu Heng stopped writing.
Putting the brush in the inkstone, Lu Heng touched his chin and took a closer look at his masterpiece.
After all, he has seven years of professional art study history, so his basic skills are pretty good. The mountains and rocks bathed in the rain in the painting still have a lot of charm, and the use of thick ink marks is okay. However, when he saw that
But he frowned when he saw the bamboo with high roots.
"Hey, why do you draw it like intestines?"
Lu Heng frowned and looked at the tangled bamboo, which looked like intestines. Finally, he slumped his face and smiled helplessly. He crumpled the painting into a ball and threw it into the almost extinguished brazier.
After that, I added some charcoal to the brazier.
Lu Heng sat at the table, quietly thinking about how to draw bamboo well.
At the same time, Li Er also arrived at Zhizao's house with the envelope containing the engagement contract.
The person who received him was Su Guangyi, the governor of Zhizao Mansion.
Su Guangyi naturally knew what was in the envelope. However, he did not open it to look at it at this time. He just put the envelope on the table, looked at Li Er and said, "Lu Heng didn't say anything else?"
In his impression, the Lu family boy was not like this. When he broke off the engagement for the first time, he heard that Lu Heng was so angry that he passed out on the spot. He then stayed in bed for several days and almost didn't recover.
Why did you deliver the things so readily today?
Li Er smiled and bowed to Su Guangyi, then shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Lu just asked the villain to hand this letter to you personally. It seems that he has nothing else to say!"
Su Guangyi was still suspicious. He picked up the envelope again and took a look.
Yes, it was indeed the envelope from eighteen years ago. When I opened it and took a look, my name was clearly visible.
Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Su Guangyi could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he thought of the impatient expression of the man in Tokyo in the past two days and now that the engagement was in hand.
In this way, the marriage with Lord Zuopu She'an will be successful.
Su Guangyi stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. He leaned down and said to Li Er with a smile: "You have a message for Lu Heng. It's quite clear!"
Li Er hurriedly acted like he was listening attentively, and said with a serious look: "You little man, listen!"
Su Guangyi chuckled and said with some pride on his face: "There is a saying that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. Since Lu Heng has made concessions, I don't want to push people too hard. Haha, tell him, as long as he comes to the door in person
Apologize to Zhengwen, and I will give him a quiet environment!"
Unable to think of Lu Heng's conspiracy, Su Guangyi thought this was a sign of weakness from the Lu family boy.
After all, he knew about the affairs of the Lu family these days. Moreover, it was with his acquiescence in many things that Su Zhengwen dared to be so presumptuous.
At this time, he asked Lu Heng to come and apologize in person. Firstly, it was to eliminate the impact of Lu Heng's words during the Spring Festival. Secondly, it was obvious that he wanted to regain the previous situation and give Lu Heng a blow.
After Su Guangyi asked his servants to send Li Er out, he paced back and forth in the living room with his hands behind his back, holding the teapot in one hand and taking a sip with a pleasant smile on his face: "People, they are such a bitch.
You have to ask me to make some moves to know how high the mountain will stand! Hahaha!"
Su Guangyi has been an official for many years, so he naturally has his own tricks.
As long as Lu Heng comes to apologize, he will not be able to hold his head up in the Su Mansion from now on. Once a person loses his dignity, he is nothing. As long as he bows his head once, Su Guangyi will naturally have a way to make him unable to hold his head up forever.
When the time comes, what will Lu Heng, a young scholar, have to fight with him?
Is that the idle prince who is deeply jealous of the Holy Emperor? Or is he the has-been talent who was abandoned by the Holy Emperor? His backer is Lord Zuo She An. And Lord An is the father of the current Crown Princess and the future father-in-law of the country.
Su Guangyi stroked his beard and smiled. He thought that maybe something happy would happen in his family soon.
Thinking of the stunning woman he saw in Liu Mansion during the Spring Festival, Su Guangyi, who was almost forty years old, was moved with excitement.
However, when Li Er left the Zhizao Mansion, the first thing he did was to look back at this majestic building. Then he rolled his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on his honest face: "Idiot!"
Li Er took advantage of the guard's lack of attention and spat disdainfully at the door of the Zhizao Mansion, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
No wonder the young master refused to let me know anything. It turned out that he had already expected that this dog officer would think so.
The young master is truly a god!
As Li Er walked, his admiration for Lu Heng continued to rise.
Night fell quietly, and the stars twinkled in the night sky. The night wind blew by, and the rapeseed flowers in the flowerbed swayed gently. There was silence in the small courtyard.
In the room, the dim light swayed gently, flickering on and off.
While Liu Qingqing ate her food, she looked at Lu Heng opposite him in surprise, shaking his head and chuckling from time to time.
I was very puzzled. What happened to my uncle today? Why was he so happy?
"Uncle, what interesting thing happened to you today?" Finally, Liu Qingqing couldn't restrain her curiosity and asked after putting down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Oh, ah, no, it's nothing!" Lu Heng shook his head, but there was still a smile on his face.
"Uncle lied!" Liu Qingqing didn't believe it. When she saw that Lu Heng still had no intention of telling him, she stopped asking. But like an angry child, she lowered her head to eat sadly.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to whet her appetite. Unexpectedly, he made a mistake.
Seeing the other party's unhappy look, Lu Heng had no choice but to surrender.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you that!" Lu Heng put down his bowls and chopsticks, smiled and recounted what he heard from Li Er today.
However, it seems that this joke is not very funny.
After hearing this, Liu Qingqing just nodded lightly, and then continued to pick up the porcelain bowl and eat.
Uh! Not funny?
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, this joke was indeed not very funny.
He did not tell Liu Qingqing his intention for doing this. After all, no matter what the final result of this matter was, Liu Qingqing would not be very happy.
Moreover, he only said that he had returned the marriage certificate, which seemed like he was giving in to Su Guangyi.
No wonder Liu Qingqing looked unhappy, maybe she had misunderstood her intentions!
