If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

  Chapter 36 The gentleman often moves from time to time, the first step to break the cage of Lufu

  Guangu Songyuan is located in the south courtyard of Lufu, which is the most luxurious and solemn among the many gardens of Lufu.

  This garden was built thirty-six years ago. It was originally called Jiangnan Garden. The owner of the Lu family spent a lot of money, material, and manpower to transport many trees, flowers and plants in the south of the Yangtze River to make this courtyard elegant and gorgeous.

   Later, someone in Lu's mansion entered the palace and became a nobleman, and was favored by Emperor Tian Chong, so the nobleman had to order someone to send an ancient pine tree to the Lu mansion.

   That noble once said: "Gu Song is fortunate enough to bless the surname Lu for thirty years."

   It is precisely because of this ancient pine that Jiangnan Garden was renovated and named Guangu Pine Garden.

For example, at the top of the treasure bottle gate in this courtyard, the four vigorous characters were also written by Li Shenti, a great scholar of the dynasty, especially the two characters of ancient pine. Brilliant ancient pine!

Entering Guangu Pine Courtyard and passing through a fan of begonia stone arches, it is a scene change. There are rockery here, and there is a winding and graceful stream. This place has colorful flowers, and that place is full of ancient pines. !

  It is really an antique Suzhou garden, and the solemnity and elegance are in contrast!

   "This view of the ancient pine garden is really beautiful."

  Qing Yue followed behind Lu Jing, her hands were in front of her, her fingers were tangled, she followed suit, and there was a lot of nervousness in her eyes.

   Don’t say it’s Qingyue…

   Even Lu Jing, as the young master of the Lu family, has only entered this ancient pine courtyard very few times.

  In the past, when Lu Shenyuan was still in Taixuanjing, he never invited Lu Jing and Lu Jing’s mother to come to Guangu Songyuan for a New Year’s Eve dinner.

   Later, Lu Shenyuan was exiled to Yuanshan Road. In order to reflect the generosity and virtue of the family of the Mansion Lu, Mrs. Zhong allowed Lu Jingniang to bring Lu Jing personally. She lived a luxurious year in this ancient pine garden.

   Later, Lu Jingniang’s health was not as good as day by day, and she was sick in bed. Old Taijun Ning probably felt unlucky, so mother and son were not allowed to enter Gusongyuan.

  Because of this, it is ridiculous that Lu Jing has lived in this Lu residence for eight or nine years, but this is the second time he has come to see the ancient pine courtyard.

   "Master Chongshan was able to return from the Jokhang Temple, the old lady was very happy, so he would be a host in this Guangu Songyuan."

  Qingyue's eyes flashed with curiosity, and along the way, she watched the beauty of Guangu Songyuan.

   In this garden, in addition to Lu Jing and Qingyue, there are other young masters and young ladies walking past with their personal maids from time to time.

   They often looked sideways and ignored Lu Jing.

  Occasionally, when the maid bows her head, she uses the corner of her eye to see what other maids are wearing...

  There are a lot of things in the noble house, and everyone knows the warmth and coldness of human feelings!

   Not to mention the young masters and young ladies in the courtyards.

   Even these maids, there are many comparisons, to see which young master they are following each other, and which shop they are wearing silk and satin.

  So... Qingyue should be at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

  Many maids glanced at Qing Yue lightly, then quickly suppressed the fleeting strange color in their eyes and hurried forward.

  Lu Jing turned to look at Qing Yue.

   found that Qingyue's cheeks were slightly red, but she still pretended not to notice those strange eyes, and looked around at the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

   "This girl..."

  Lu Jing knew that Qingyue had a delicate mind and was not stupid, so how could he not know what those maids were looking at.

   He turned his head silently, never breaking Qingyue, but his eyes became much firmer.

   After walking through many aquarium stone gates carved with delicate patterns, we finally came to a building.

  This building is a banquet hall, located on a high platform, facing the very old but lush and beautiful ancient pine tree.

   This banquet room has a golden top stone wall, carved beams and painted buildings, such as bird leather, such as Hui Sifei, the building is smart and solemn.

  Lu Jing and Qing Yue followed the stone steps and entered the banquet room.

   But in the banquet hall, there are sandalwood tables on the left and right, and most of the tables are full of people.

   "Master, look, that's our desk."

   Qingyue's eyes flashed, and she caught a page of rice paper on a seat not far from the door of the banquet hall.

   On the rice paper, it was written: "The third master of the Lu family, Lu Jing!"

  The third master of the Lu family?

  Lu Jing smiled in his heart, but after taking a few steps, he came to the table.

   "Master, this location is very good. It's very far from Mrs. Ning and Madam Zhong. You don't have to be so restrained when you have a banquet."

  Qing Yue picked up the wine jug on the table and poured wine for Lu Jing, and said softly, with a bit of joy in her tone.

  Lu Jing knew that Qingyue was enlightening him.

  Because the order of seats at the Lu Mansion banquet is mostly based on the status of the clan.

   Ironically…

   Lu Jing's desk case was brightly written in large characters, but the seat was the last.

   Even the last few sons of the Second House were inferior. Qingyue was worried about Lu Jing's taste in her heart, so she spoke to ease.

   "Qing Yue, there are grapes here, they are fresh, you can eat some."

  Lu Jing picked a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate on the table and handed it to Qingyue.

   Qingyue waved her hands again and again.

  Lu Jing smiled and said, "Old Lady Ning, Mrs. Zhong, and Mrs. Zhu haven't come yet, so hurry up and eat some, otherwise there will be no chance."

   His smile was warm and sincere.

   Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this second ranking didn't seem to affect Lu Jing in the slightest.

   While she was stunned, Lu Jing said again: "You don't have to worry, in fact, my name is no longer on the Lufu family tree, nor is it on the Lufu internal register where the household registration is.

  According to the reason, Mrs. Zhong doesn't need to invite me to come, and now she wants me to come to see the ancient Songyuan, I'm afraid there is a reason. "

  Lu Jing whispered to here, paused slightly, his eyes became even colder.

   "If I only worry about the seat, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable after a while."

  Qing Yue took the grape in Lu Jing's hand, turned sideways, picked one and put it in her mouth.

   Biting through the grapes, the sweet and sour taste flooded into her taste buds.

   At this moment, Qingyue suddenly found that Lu Jing's tone was calm, as if he had a plan, and was not afraid of the coming censure.

   "Master..." Qingyue hesitated and did not dare to ask.

  Lu Jing turned his head and said, "Master Chongshan of Erfu will return to the residence, which is our chance."

   Qingyue blinked, not understanding what Lu Jing was talking about.

   is at this time.

   There was a commotion at the door.

   Then, Lu Qiong walked in with Xi Qiu in the lead. There was a lot of disgust and impatience in his eyes, as if he didn't like such an occasion.

   followed by Lu Feng.

  Lu Feng's breath was fierce, his eyes flashed with bursts of crimson, his face was expressionless, he was not angry, and his burly body faintly lingered with a breathtaking aura.

   He put his hands on his back and walked into the banquet room step by step.

   Immediately, many young masters and young ladies in the banquet room all stood up and respectfully saluted Lu Feng.

   Even the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Qiong, never had such prestige.

  Lu Feng was always a few steps behind Lu Qiong, walking with his hands on his back.

   And behind him, there was a girl. This girl is slender and graceful, with muscles like white snow, a waist like a bunch of plain skin, teeth like braided shells, and a face that seems to be a bit brighter than the spring color in the sky.

   The clothes on her body are even more luxurious, and they are not inferior to many young ladies in the second government.

   This girl is Lu Feng's eldest maid, Xixiang. She has a very high status in the mansion, and the maids next to her are absolutely incomparable.

   Xixiang and Lu Feng walked into the banquet room, subconsciously looked at Lu Jing, and then quietly looked back.

   "Master, look at the maids in Master Feng's courtyard."

  Qingyue stared blankly at the girl and said, "Sister Xixiang's birth is really beautiful, you can see her eyes are not only bright, pure and moist, but also crystal clear, just like the stars in the night.

   Of all the maids in the house, no one can compare to her. "

  Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Qing Yue carefully.

   "It's nothing more than a bit more rouge than Qingyue, and she's wearing a fancy dress."

  Lu Jing felt that Qing Yue would be much more beautiful if she dressed up.

   "Master, it is said that several years ago, Sister Xixiang was going to come to us...no...he came to the Young Master's Courtyard, but I don't know what happened and went to Young Master Lu Feng's Courtyard again."

  Qingyue's tone is not without pity: "Young master is unlucky, such a beautiful daughter, but went to another courtyard. If you come to the courtyard, you can also be my company."

  Lu Jing was dumbfounded.

   This Qingyue is sometimes well-versed in the world and is much more shrewd, and sometimes she speaks some nonsense and makes him laugh.

   "If Xixiang comes, don't you want to go to another courtyard? How can she keep company with you?" Lu Jing reminded quietly.

   Qingyue reacted: "Yes, what the young master said..."

   The two of them were whispering, and several young girls entered the door.

   Among them are Ning Qiang, Lin Rendong, Lu Yi... and Lu Jiang.

  Ning Qiang and Lin Rendong saw Lu Jing sitting at the door, and their eyes flashed with joy first, and then they saw Lu Jing's seat, and could not help frowning slightly.

  Lu Jing smiled calmly and nodded at them.

   Immediately afterwards, Lu Jing sensed a gloomy gaze that fell on him, which was also filled with biting murderous intent, causing him to turn his gaze to Lu Jiang next to him.

  Lu Jiang's eyes were extremely gloomy, and he gave Lu Jing a cold look.

   Lu Jing didn't seem to sense the hostility in his eyes, so he smiled slightly at Lu Jiang.

  Lu Jiang snorted coldly and turned his head.

   Everyone sat down, but less than a quarter of an hour.

  The old lady Ning leaned on a deer-headed peach cane and was dressed in Chinese clothes. Her face, which had never been able to express much expression, was filled with a joyful smile.

   She walked into the banquet room, and looked back frequently, looking at the middle-aged man behind her.

   "That's Lu Zhongshan..."

  Lu Jing's eyes moved slightly. The last time I saw this master of the Lu family's second mansion, you were many years ago.

   At that time, Lu Jing was still young and didn't have much memory.

   But now, looking at the Lu family's Chongshan master, Lu Jing seems to have seen a... walking dead.

  Master Chongshan's eyes were silent and his expression was desolate, but he was only a middle-aged man in his early forties, but he had a long hair.

   His face was faintly visible when he was a handsome young man. Although he is not old now, he seems to have grown old!

   "Now that I think about it, many rumors about Lu Chongshan should be true."

  Lu Jing took a deep breath.

   For him, Lu Chongshan's return to the house was a surprise!

   "The gentleman always moves in accordance with the times, and the wise will follow the opportunity."

   "The first step in breaking the Lu Mansion's cage is today."
