Great Lawyer

Chapter 216
Du Jiuyan's heart thumped a few times. This...is the grandfather of the original body, a veteran official of the two dynasties, a great scholar in literature, and the chief assistant whom everyone respects and fears.

If she didn't want to be a litigator, she would definitely go over and be serious about her relatives.

Such a big man, it's worth admitting.

She swept her eyes and landed not far from Lu Zhangzhi. There was a fluffy blanket beside the bookshelf full of books. On the blanket lay a chubby young man in his early twenties. He was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, combed his hair in a bun, and swayed back and forth with his legs crossed in the air.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, when he raised his head to look at them, Yuanyuan's face suddenly smiled into a flower, and his eyes were dark and bright.

The old man of Luge, that Lu Nianzong who was rumored to be born with a deficiency?

"Come in." Lu Zhangzhi opened his mouth first, Guo Ting took a step forward, and said cautiously: "My subject, Guo Ting, pays homage to your lord."

Lu Zhangzhi hummed.

"Student Du Jiuyan pays respects to your lord."

"Du Honglin pays homage to Mr. Ge Boss." Little Luobo smiled at Lu Zhangzhi.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded slightly, pointed to the chairs, and said, "Let's all sit down." When they sat down, the book boy served tea and closed the door. Lu Zhangzhi looked at Guo Ting and asked, "You have been in Beijing for more than a month. take care of?"

"Returning to my lord, it's Han Chat. He is the deputy general of the subordinate. He has been in the army for many years and has trained horses. He is much more experienced than the subordinate." Guo Ting said.

Lu Zhangzhi glanced at Guo Tinggao. In front of outsiders, he can praise his lieutenant general, which shows that this person is open-minded. "Did you receive the military salary this year?"

"Last year I got it, but the year before last was still three months away." Guo Ting replied politely.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded slightly, and said: "The Ministry of War is taking care of you, and this probably has something to do with Master Meng helping you operate. In Liaodong and Xuantong, not only the military salary of the previous half year, but even last year's salary was only paid for half a year."

Guo Ting handed over should be.

"If you are outside, you will be unstable without military pay. It is not easy to stabilize the morale of the army. Thank you for your hard work." Lu Zhangzhi said.

Guo Ting was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly stood up with red eyes, and saluted Lu Zhangzhi, "Mr. Guo, you are thinking about it, no matter how hard it is for Mr. Guo, it is worth it."

After many years in the army, this was the first time Guo Ting heard such understanding from a civil official, and the other party was the chief assistant.

"If you have something to do in the future, you can write to me. If I can help, I will say a few words. If I can't help, I will write back and explain why I can't." Lu Zhangzhi had a good impression of Guo Ting.

Guo Tingying nodded excitedly, and couldn't help but look back at Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan is really his benefactor, every time he comes into contact with her, he always has all kinds of unexpected good luck.

"You are Du Jiuyan?" Lu Zhangzhi looked at Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan got up and cupped his hands, and replied respectfully: "Yes, student Shaoyang Du Jiuyan."

"I've looked at two of the cases you've worked on. One is the murder case of the father and son of the Yan Mansion. You can go back to six years ago from the existing case and take the initiative to help the victim reverse the case. This kind of dedication is very rare. " Lu Ge said: "In Ma Yuniang's case, although you took a sideways approach, you were not wrong."

"At such a young age, it is very rare to have a heart of benevolence without taking credit for pride." Lu Zhangzhi said.

Perhaps because of knowing her identity, or perhaps because of this short cup of tea, Du Jiuyan was attracted by Elder Lu Ge's personality charm, and she was also slightly excited, cupping her hands and saying: "Students, as litigants, defend the suitors. Benefits should be done, and I can't afford your praise, Mr. Ge."

"Knowing what to do and what not to do is the most difficult thing." Lu Zhangzhi said: "Drink tea!"

During the process of talking, Little Carrot sat quietly and listened to the chatting of the adults.

Lu Zhangzhi looked at Xiaoluobo, "What word do you want?"

"The shadows in the cloud pool are long and the sun is long, things change and the stars move a few times in autumn." Xiao Luobo thought it up on the road, "This... will it work?"

He heard Chen Lang read these two sentences lightly.

Lu Zhangzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and without asking any further questions, he got up to write and finished the work in one go.

Pen down stamp.

Little Luobo was so curious that he slid down quietly and tiptoed on the table to read. The handwriting was beautiful, but he didn't recognize it.

However, as long as Chen Lang knew each other, it would be fine.

Lu Zhangzhi folded the dried paper and handed it to him, and Xiao Luobo respectfully continued to salute: "Thank you for giving me the calligraphy!"

"No thanks!" Lu Zhangzhi said.

Xiao Luobo ran back smiling, looking at Lu Nianzong who had been lying on the blanket.Lu Nianzong was also looking at him, both of them looked at each other and tilted their heads.

Lu Nianzong waved at him, Xiao Luobo looked at Lu Zhangzhi, "My lord, can I go?"

Lu Zhangzhi nodded.

"What are you doing?" Xiaoluobo ran over and squatted in front of the blanket. Lu Nianzong hissed and pointed to the ground with a very low voice, "Look, look, there is an ant on the ground."

As he spoke, he moved to the side and moved the blanket a little for Little Carrot.

Little Carrot lay side by side with him on the ground, staring at the ants on the ground.

"Is this ant unable to find a home?" Little Carrot asked in a low voice.

Lu Nianzong shook his head, "He's looking for someone, he has no one to play with, he's boring."

"I see." Little Luobo said, "Then shall we play with him?"

Lu Nianzong nodded, "Okay, okay." He leaned on the ant, "Do you want to be friends with us? We won't bully you."

"Well, I won't bully you." Xiaoluo said.

Lu Zhangzhi looked back, his eyes were warm and soft.

Du Jiuyan was thinking about what should Little Luobo call Lu Nianzong if he recognized his relatives?

She has to go back and ask Mrs. Guo.

Life is really complicated. There are many relatives, and even the titles have to be memorized. It’s better to forget the relatives.

Anyway, Qin Jiuyan is dead, she is another person, it has nothing to do with Lu Zhangzhi or An Guogong.

"Master." The steward of the Lu Mansion knocked on the door and said through the door, "Master Qin and Third Lord Qin from the Duke's Mansion are here to pay New Year's greetings."

Elder Lu Ge nodded slightly, and said, "Please go drink tea, I'll be there later."

"Then... let's take our leave." Guo Ting got up and cupped his hands.

Lu Zhangzhi nodded slightly, "Nian Zong, help father see off the guests."

"Oh." Lu Nianzong looked at Xiao Luobo outside, "Are you leaving?"

Little Carrot nodded, "Yes."

"Then...then I'll see you off." Lu Nianzong held Xiao Luobo's hand, and the two of them walked out together. Eyes rolled around, "What's your name?"

"Little radish." Little radish said with a smile.

Lu Nianzong thought for a while, then bared his teeth and said, "I, my name is Da Bai Ya." Then he tapped his own teeth, "White?"

"Bai!" Little Luobo also followed him to show his teeth, and nodded.

"small carrot."

"Big White Teeth."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Du Jiuyan laughed as he saw the two of them, Guo Ting said in a low voice, "Uncle Lu's calligraphy and painting are very good."

"Calligraphy and painting?" Du Jiuyan said, "Better than Master Lu?"

Guo Ting shook his head, "I've never seen it, but I heard it's very talented."

Du Jiuyan looked at Lu Nianzong thoughtfully, and suddenly he turned his head and waved at her, "Yanyan, goodbye!"

Du Jiuyan's heart skipped a beat.

"Uncle Lu, you have mistaken someone." Guo Ting cupped his hands and said, "This is Du Jiuyan from Shaoyang."

Lu Nianzong tilted his head to look into her eyes, Du Jiuyan pretended to be calm, and looked at him with a smile, "Uncle Lu, do you think I look like smoke?"

"It's not like that anymore." Lu Nianzong said with a smile, "You are smart, but Yanyan is stupid!"

Du Jiuyan looked at him strangely, while Lu Nianzong's servant came forward and explained: "Mr. Du, our uncle likes to look into other people's eyes. She said that you are smart, so you should be able to see it from Mr. Du's eyes." of."

It turned out to be like this, Du Jiuyan smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your encouragement."

"You're welcome," Lu Nianzong waved his hand, "Goodbye!"

Saying so, he helped the boy back, walked a few steps and waved his hand, "Goodbye, little carrot!"

"Goodbye!" Little Carrot waved his hand.

The three left the Lu Mansion, and after getting into the carriage, Guo Ting asked, "When are you leaving?"

"What do you think, my lord?" Du Jiuyan wanted to leave tomorrow.

Guo Ting said: "Don't you still promise the Empress Dowager today, and go to the palace to meet her? If so, at least the tenth day of the lunar new year will be over."

"On the tenth day of the lunar new year." Du Jiuyan sighed, opened the curtain and looked at the cold and deserted street outside, "Then I'll go to Mrs. Qiu first. Mr. Qiu is more interesting."

Guo Ting laughed, "I'm here to make an appointment. Master Qiu's home should not be far from here."

In the afternoon, Guo Ting sent his servant to Mr. Qiu's home.

Although Mr. Qiu is rich, but because of his low rank and not from Yanjing, the house he lives in now is rented, a pitiful courtyard house.

When Du Jiuyan went in the next day, Qiu Zhang stood at the door with two permanent attendants, dressed in dusty robes, like hemp sticks growing out of the ground, but with a good complexion, obviously eating a lot of food. It's worth more than his suit.

"My lord," Du Jiuyan said with reddened eyes, "After you came to the capital, how could you live in such a desolate and difficult life?"

Qiu Zhang also wiped away his tears, "I don't see you for more than a month, why are you so ugly?"

"Don't dare to be too handsome, the sisters in the capital are too enthusiastic." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang laughed loudly, "It's still so dishonest." As he said that, he cupped his hands at Qian Daoan, the lame man, and Xiao Luobo, "It's cold outside, hurry up and talk inside."

Everyone filed in, and the walls of the house were nothing more than that.

But fortunately, the earth dragon was burning hot, and it was very warm when the door was closed.

"Drink tea!" Qiu Zhang poured the tea himself. He didn't bring his family with him when he came to the capital.As he spoke, he suppressed his voice and said, "This is the Dahongpao from Neigong in Fujian, drink and have a look."

Qian Daoan and the others were stunned. When they came in just now, they actually thought Mr. Qiu was a good official, clean and honest.But in a blink of an eye, he, a sixth-rank governor, actually drank the Neigong Dahongpao.

"Be low-key, low-key." Qiu Zhang put the large porcelain bowl with a hole in front of Du Jiuyan, "I'm a low-key person now, so don't stand out."

Qian Daoan and Zhou Xiao looked at each other, Zhou Xiao laughed, and cupped his hands and said, "I often hear Jiuyan mentioning my lord, and seeing you today, the students are convinced."

"She won't speak well of me." Qiu Zhang said with a smile.

Du Jiuyan drank Neigong's Dahongpao from a broken clay bowl, and this feeling was very subtle, "My lord, are you wearing gold thread inside this coat?"

"Wear it when you are buried with him." Qiu Zhang said quietly: "Low-key, low-key."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands, "At that time, I will definitely go to your lord's funeral."

"Try to dig the grave? Then I will definitely not let you know where I am buried." Qiu Zhang spat.

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "It's a tomb robber, my lord."

　Let me ask you a question, what does Little Carrot call Lu Nianzong?We call "uncle" here, what do you call it?
