The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 235
The young man was a little unconvinced, and muttered, "I'm telling the truth, why should I apologize?"

But he was still afraid of his father's anger, so he moved up to Lu Qian, bowed his hands hastily, "Small...don't blame my uncle, I shouldn't be telling the truth."

A look of disgust flashed in Lu Qian's eyes, but he still replied with a half-respect, "Young Master Liu, you are being polite. Although I have the honor to join Mr. Liu as a disciple and become a senior brother, I am about the same age as you, so it is better to be friends of the same generation. "

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Liu Junsheng's face was full of complacency, and he didn't move a step, just waiting for his father to introduce the old dean for him.

Everyone pretended to be thirsty, raised their hands to hold tea bowls, and covered up the mockery and disappointment in their eyes.Poor Liu Yu is very talented and knowledgeable, but how could he teach his son so badly.

When Lu Qian said this, it sounded very humble on the surface, and he didn't dare to be the uncle of the servant's son, but on the other hand, why didn't he despise Liu Junsheng and disdain to be his uncle.

Liu Yu has been in the officialdom for many years, so he can naturally see this. It's not that he is not angry at his son's arrogance and rudeness, but in the end it is his own son, so he is a little displeased with Lu Qian's counterattack.

People are inherently selfish. It is very common to be strict with others and lenient to yourself.

"Teacher, this incompetent boy is the student's youngest son. He is incompetent in both civil and military affairs, but fortunately he has an upright temperament. In this big exam, the students will let him have a try. I hope the teacher can teach him a lot in his spare time."

"It's easy to say, young man, it's always like this. In the future, if you have doubts about your studies, just let him come to the door."

The old dean did not refuse, Liu Yu was overjoyed, and ordered his son to salute.

Lu Qian didn't seem to be dissatisfied at all, and he added tea for several senior brothers as usual, and then took advantage of the free time to report, "Teacher, while it's still early, the students will move to talk to Liu Buqi Cheng Ziheng lives with him. The husband has something to do, just send someone to find the student. In addition, before leaving, the teacher's wife has explained that the student reminds the husband not to drink too much alcohol and eat less sweets..."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." The old dean smiled and waved his hands, "I said why did this old woman let me go back to Beijing alone so happily, so she found your junior brother to be a 'jailer'!"

"The teacher's wife is also concerned about the teacher's health."

"Exactly. I don't know how the old lady is in good health?"

Everyone responded and greeted the dean's wife again.After having said that, the old dean said, "Dejing, let's go, Beijing is no better than Beidi, if you don't have anything to do, hang around less, and if you have something to do, let someone deliver the letter."

"is teacher."

Lu Qian saluted respectfully, and finally bid farewell to everyone, then left the hall, greeted the dog who had packed his luggage, went to the alley to hire a carriage, loaded the box into the carriage, and went straight to Sanjie Street.

Cheng Ziheng had already arrived in the capital, rented the yard, and the new year was extremely deserted. The day before yesterday, I hoped that Liu Buqi came, and the two of them wandered around the capital for a whole day. They were about to go out today, when Lu Qian, the master and servant, came to the door .

The two received the door together and helped carry the box to the east wing.Liu Buqi lives in the west wing, Cheng Ziheng lives in the main room, and a room of servants from Cheng's family lives in the back room. The women clean and cook on weekdays, and the men do rough work, which is convenient.

The small courtyard is located at the innermost side of the alley, very clean, and there are a few willow trees at the entrance of the alley, which is also elegant.

Lu Qian liked it very much, so he smiled, "How did Ziheng find such a good place, it couldn't be better."

Cheng Ziheng was a little embarrassed at first, but he laughed when he heard this, "It's also a coincidence that the owner of this yard went to his daughter and was anxious to sell the yard. I thought I would come to Kyoto often in the future, so I bought it directly. It's cheap. Just live here and treat it as your own home."

"Okay, this is what you said. When I come to Kyoto, I will come directly."

Liu Buqi laughed heartily, "I'm really lucky to have you two good friends. When I come to Kyoto, I will live in a courtyard. When I'm hungry, I'll go to Xiyangyang to eat hot pot. I wouldn't even give it to a second-rank official."

Both Cheng Ziheng and Lu Qian laughed, "You can take advantage of all the advantages, so give me the money!"

"How could this be possible? You just said you don't want money. If you want money, you will die!"

Liu Buqi joked so hard, it was much more lively than before.

After being able to enter the hall and sit down, the three of them each had a cup of tea and chatted a few gossips, but for some reason they became quiet again.

Cheng Ziheng was silent for a long while, then stood up and saluted Lu Qian, "Dejing, no matter what happened about the workshop, I am ashamed of your trust with Sister Xiaomi."

Liu Buqi hurriedly bowed together when he heard this, "And I, too, feel ashamed. I really have no face to face you and sister Xiaomi. It's a good thing, I don't want to be like this at home..."

The son did not speak of his father's faults. Although both of them were outside when the workshop was disbanded, they were always to blame for the various inappropriate behaviors of the family members.In particular, it was the kindness of a friend and younger sister who was ruined like this, making it difficult for the two of them to eat and sleep well during this period of time.

A gentleman's heart is as pure as mutton fat white jade, let alone this matter, it is just a stain, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to be clear and calm in the future.

Lu Qian got up, helped them up one by one, and sighed, "Speaking of it, I'm ashamed. Although it was out of good intentions, it caused Ziheng to lose his mother. If I had to choose, I really shouldn't have proposed a partnership business."

"It's not your fault, Dejing," Cheng Ziheng thought of his mother, his heart throbbing, but he still pulled Lu Qian and Liu Buqi to sit down, "Even if there was no workshop, my mother might not live long. Second-rate…"

He couldn't continue, he was a little choked up, the pain of losing his mother, and leaving in such a tragic way, it is difficult for any son of man to calm down.

Lu Qian remembered that when his mother passed away, he also looked like this, so he reached out and patted Cheng Ziheng on the shoulder.

Liu Buqi didn't want his friend to be so depressed, so he said impatiently, "You two are sick and sympathetic, and you will definitely get closer in the future, but you can't leave me alone. Although my mother is still there, but... my mother prefers my sister!"

Cheng Ziheng and Lu Qian were still sad at first, but they couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"It's not a bad thing to say that. My aunt is eccentric, and she still raises you so fat and strong. If you are not eccentric, you may not be able to go out."

After all, he was young, and with a few jokes, his sadness was wiped out without a trace.

Speaking of food, Liu Buqi felt his stomach was empty, and asked, "Dejing, when you go out this time, sister Xiaomi prepared some delicious food for you, take it out quickly, the three of us finally got together, we must come together Get drunk."

"This time we'll be out for a long time, and the weather is going to get warmer again. It's not easy for Xiaomi to prepare food. I heard that Xi Yangyang's business is very good, why don't we go find Big Brother Chen to join in the fun."

There are still two boxes of snacks in Lu Qian's luggage, but firstly, it is not easy to drink with snacks, and secondly, he is reluctant, since he is so far away from home, any little things from home become the epitome of Si Niang.

Coincidentally, before leaving, Xiaomi asked him to visit Xiyangyang, and took advantage of the opportunity to invite two friends to go with him.

"Okay, I went there once a year ago. Brother Chen also said that when you came, let me deliver the letter early. Now there is no need to deliver the letter. Let's go together."

Cheng Ziheng called his servants to give some instructions, and quickly hired a carriage. The three of them took three excited personal servants and rushed to the bustling West Market.

At this time, the first month has just come out, and the north is still covered with snow, but here in Kyoto, there may be high walls and heavy buildings, and the north wind has turned into soft fingers, bringing a little warmth to the streets. Wandering in the alley, occasionally lifting the boy's robe, skipping the flamboyant and wanton smiling face.

An impatient girl changed into a thin silk skirt early, and brought her maids to and from silver houses or cloth houses, causing the teenagers on the street to chase her all the way. Occasionally, some old man would scold her, and the teenagers would disperse with a bang. .

If you ask them why they are like this, then it involves the eyesight that everyone in Kyoto has.The one who dared to yell and curse at the feet of this emperor who had so many officials like a dog, might be the father of a first-rank official, or the emperor's third uncle, second uncle, or something like that.If you look at the beautiful women less, you will not lose a piece of meat, but if they get into trouble, what is waiting for them is probably fried pork with bamboo shoots and grounding.

It's okay to beat me up, the old lady at home always has to protect three points, but the grounding is too tragic.

Such a beautiful spring day is coming, no one wants to miss it.

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Qian and the three of them saw all kinds of scenes in the market and the turbulent crowd, and they were all overwhelmed by the prosperity of the capital.

This is the center of Dayuan. The wealth and power of the world are gathered in one city. How can a small state capital be comparable?

The coachman heard the dogs yelling and screaming from time to time, and guessed that they were foreigners who had just arrived in Beijing, and they deliberately passed by Qinglong Street, and saw the magnificent imperial palace from a distance, which really made the dogs even more happy It's dancing.

Even Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng in the car were a little excited, only Lu Qian looked puzzled, but Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng were just laughing and gossiping, so they didn't see it.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the West Market, and many carriages and horses had already parked in front of Xiyangyang’s gate. The coachman smiled and said to Lu Qian and the others, “Three gentlemen, there are so many carriages and horses, it will take a quarter of an hour to move forward. , why don’t you please drive your son to get out of the car and move around, so that you don’t have to sit boringly.”

Lu Qian and the others are not mean people, so naturally they would not refuse such a simple effort.When he got off the car and was about to pay the fare, a black-painted flat-topped carriage suddenly rushed up from behind. I don't know if the driver didn't see it, or he was going too hastily, almost hitting Lu Qian and the others.

Liu Buqi scolded immediately, "What are you doing, why don't you look at the road?"

Unexpectedly, the carriage also stopped, and as soon as the door opened, a few youths in fancy clothes jumped out.

One of them looked at Lu Qian and said sarcastically, "Who am I? It turns out that I am a troublemaker who came from a poor country? Why, this is here to see the prosperity of Kyoto? Didn't you scare me?"

What he said was really ugly, Liu Buqi and Cheng Ziheng were annoyed, and asked Lu Qian, "Who is this person, do you know him?"

Lu Qian's face turned cold, and he said calmly, "I don't know this kind of rude person, but his father is Mr. Liu Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the teacher's sixth disciple."
