A poor son (117)

In front of the gate of the Lu Mansion, an inconspicuous carriage came. As soon as the carriage stopped, the gate of the Lu Mansion ran down, "Get out slowly, please get off the car. My master will go to the morning court tomorrow, because I have rested early today and cannot see the guests. If there is a famous letter, I will give it to the younger one, please come back."

The man driving on the shaft glanced at the door and then lifted the curtain. Before he could speak, he heard an old man's voice coming from inside, "Give him this sign, his master will meet with me."

The man responded, turned around and gave the door a black wooden sign with the ancient word "Wang".

"Please wait." Although Menzi didn't know what this was, he showed it to the butler and saved him from neglecting the distinguished guests.

When the sign was passed to Lu Heng one by one, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Lu Heng touched the sign in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and showed a wry smile on his face: "These people will always...forget it! Forget it! Who told me that I owe others favors back then? Please come in."

He himself sat in the chair without moving.

When the old man walked in, Lu Heng waved his hand and sent everyone away.

"Sit down!" Lu Heng stood up and went to get the tea set. "I haven't seen you for many years, and Brother Pingyao's body still looks so tough."

The person who came in was the old man living in the Baijia Villa, Wang Pingyao.

"It's useless." Wang Pingyao shook his head, "It's no longer the time to study with Brother Lu."

Lu Heng smiled: "It was time for a twenty-year-old man, now he is seventy. Brother Pingyao said that he was twenty years old, which shows that you are really not old at all."

Wang Pingyao laughed: "Brother Lu is getting stronger and stronger. Now he is the prime minister, and he is above all tens of thousands of people. In this civil dynasty, he is still afraid that Brother Lu will not recognize his old friend."

Lu Heng shook his head: "Brother's compliment, but I'm so scared." He said with a smile, handing over a cup of tea, "Try it! How does it taste?"

Wang Pingyao held the tea, smelled it, then took a sip, turned it in his mouth, then swallowed it slowly, and then his eyes lit up: "This is really a good tea! It is actually the only good tea I have ever seen."

"What a good tea?" Lu Heng asked with his eyebrows raised.

Wang Pingyao took another sip, closed his eyes and felt it for a while, nodding without hesitation, "It's indeed a good tea."

Lu Heng poured him another cup of tea, "How does it feel compared to Wang's tea?"

Every family has some treasures for the things passed down from the aristocratic families. For example, the Wang family’s tea is famous for its goodness. Only in the main house of the Wang family can you drink such authentic good tea.

If it weren't for the fact that the tea in Lu Heng was really good, otherwise it would be extremely rude to ask this question.

Wang Pingyao nodded: "I didn't expect that the Lu family has such a masterpiece, which is really eye-opening." He praised, but he didn't come here for drinking tea, nor was he in the mood to comment on tea and taste tea with him here. So he put down the tea cup, "Brother Lu, come here today..."

But Lu Heng raised the teacup and said, "Brother, do you know where this tea comes from?"

Wang Pingyao was stunned. What does this mean? He said endlessly around a tea. He still asked not to speak? This was too disgraceful. He was unhappy, but the cultivation of the aristocratic family made him unable to speak badly. He had to stop the topic first and look at Lu Heng.

But Lu Heng poured a cup of Wang Pingyao again: "You taste it again. This tea is grown by the Queen, picked by herself, and fried by herself. I only get two taels of it here."

Wang Pingyao's hand holding the cup froze. His eyes narrowed slightly, closed his eyes again, and slowly savored the tea fragrance, peaceful and peaceful. He finally understood what Lu Heng was going to say at this moment.

Since the queen can make such tea, is she still a vulgar person?

Those who truly understand tea ceremony are the elegant people in the aristocratic families. They are definitely not related to vulgarity.

Since the queen is not vulgar, then the emperor is definitely not the cowherd in their perception.

Lu Heng just asked, how much tea is compared to the Wang family. In fact, he is not able to compare it with it. He clearly wants to tell him that he is better than the Wang family.

This is just taking care of the face of the aristocratic family and his face, and not putting these words on his face.

If so, then the plan that was originally expected should have been completed. Since this Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could understand his intentions, why did he not make any noise?

His heart became a little uneasy.

Seeing Lu Heng savoring the tea with concentration, Wang Pingyao raised his eyes and said, "Brother Lu, this time I came, you can treat it as a private visit or as a business. You are now the first auxiliary minister of the Qing Dynasty. I am looking for you, that's right."

Lu Heng raised his eyes: "What are Brother Pingyao talking to me again?"

Wang Pingyao leaned back and whispered: "The aristocratic family can be under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, but..."

Lu Heng waved his hand: "Brother Pingyao, but forget it. Haven't you figured it out yet? Before, aristocratic families share the world with the emperor. The emperor can perish, but the aristocratic families are immortal. The people standing in the court are all recommended children of the aristocratic families. Later, the imperial examinations emerged, and the emperor no longer relied on aristocratic families to govern the world. Fewer and fewer children of aristocratic families have become officials. However, aristocratic families can only occupy such a small territory and manage their own power. Brother Pingyao, today's aristocratic families are still aristocratic families, and where is the style of aristocratic families. It is just a long-standing and pretentious mountain king. The former aristocratic families can assist the king and appease the common people. Today's aristocratic families have become poisonous weeds in the hearts of the king and the people..."

"Stop!" Wang Pingyao stood up suddenly, "Lu Heng, don't forget that the Lu family is also considered a noble family."

Lu Heng laughed at me. Before he became rich, a family that could hardly afford to eat was a family. If he had maintained his status as a declining family and failed to take the imperial examination and did not go to office, the Lu family would have long disappeared and he would have starved to death.

He smiled indifferently: "Okay! Let's not talk about ourselves, we only talk about others. After the imperial examinations and the poor students were offered, these people are much more useful than aristocratic families that only bargained with emperors. Therefore, aristocratic families who could not bear their status could only wander around their own land. Just like Brother Pingyao and I. Brother Pingyao, who was talented back then, wasted all my life. I have gone through two dynasties, but I am still prominent. This is the difference."

"Slowly, the kings could not even remember the aristocratic family. There were officials in literature and nobles in martial arts. The aristocratic families that restricted the imperial power were abandoned. Then, the kings even disliked the position of prime minister because he divided the imperial power. So, there was a cabinet."

When Lu Heng said this, he smiled: "Brother Pingyao, you understand that. If you still regard the aristocratic family as a family that can share the world with the emperor, I would like to advise you to find a deep mountain to live in the world before the emperor settles. The emperor will not even listen to your conditions, let alone agree to it."

They just rush to plot in the dark, but they don’t have the courage to charge. They think they are amazing and can play exquisite chess games on the chessboard, but why don’t they know that there are people in this world who directly overturn the chessboard.

I have been staying in a small place for a long time, and my vision and pattern have become really small.

The little one makes people laugh.

Wang Pingyao felt the disdain and arrogance that Lu Heng exuded from his bones, his face turned red, and he stretched out his hand and brushed the tea set on the table.

Suddenly, the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground came from the room.

Lu Heng didn't even frown: "Brother Pingyao, you don't listen to these words, but if I hadn't owe my brother a favor, I wouldn't have said this. If you listen to your advice and write a letter of surrender, I can pass it on your behalf. If you don't listen to your advice, then I will say that. Please do whatever you want, brother."

"Okay! Very good!" Wang Pingyao turned around and walked out, "I don't believe that the aristocratic family will not have the glory of the past."

The curtain was lifted, and Wang Pingyao and Fang Changqing walked face to face.

Fang Changqing bowed and saluted, and Wang Pingyao snorted coldly: "You are also a family member, what about the rules? Eavesdropping outside the door and sneaking, what kind of decent form?"

Fang Changqing was a little embarrassed when he said this. Lu Heng was his teacher. In the Lu Mansion, he always came and went freely. There was no one he could not meet or a place he could not go. This really had nothing to do with the rules.

Besides, it’s not a child of aristocratic families, so it’s still quite regular for others to behave.

It’s not like a few hundred years ago, except for the aristocratic families, it’s time for all the rough people.

He did not argue, and watched Wang Ping go away, then waved his hand to the servant to go in and clean up the inside. Then he walked in carefully, "Master, the head of the Wang family came to the capital? What do you want to do?"

Lu Heng waved his hand: "Why are you here today?"

Fang Changqing sighed: "Is the emperor going to attack the aristocratic family?"

Lu Heng laughed: "What? Finally, he reacted?"

Fang Changqing glanced at Lu Heng: "Master, did you know what the emperor meant?"

Lu Heng did not answer this question, but looked at Fang Changqing: "Changqing, what is a noble family? Now, where is there a real noble family? What the emperor wants to move is the local forces that are connected with local tyrants. As for the noble family?" He patted Fang Changqing on the shoulder, "It is not necessarily the emperor who sees it."

Fang Changqing was a little surprised. The aristocratic family and the local clerks had been integrated into one. They were officials sent by the court and could not be laid out in these places. They were either squeezed away or were pulled over by them and twisted into a rope. They supported such officials and expanded their power through their hands, and they were already a country in the middle of the country.

Then, even if you don’t take action against the aristocratic family now, you still can’t tolerate it in the future.
