Mrs. Rebirth

As the sun was setting, the Zuo Mansion finally calmed down after a day of turmoil. Luo Xiaoliu, who went to the government to sue the Xue family, did not bring an official messenger, but limped in with his hands on his buttocks.

"Grandpa... That shitty governor doesn't accept this kind of case at all!" Luo Xiaoliu said angrily, standing in front of Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing guessed in advance that now is not the best time to sue the Xue family. There are too many rumors outside, and the Governor of Jingdu may not want to accept the case related to the Zuo Mansion. If he is not careful, he will fall into the crusade of public opinion in the sound.

And he didn't really want Xue's to go to prison, he wanted her to watch at home how the Zuo family was destroyed by him step by step, and let her watch how his children stepped into the abyss bit by bit.

"Beating?" Zuo Shaoqing asked, looking at his strange posture.

Luo Xiaoliu nodded pitifully, then looked earnestly at Zuo Shaoqing.

Zuo Shaoqing also lived up to his expectations, and said with concern: "Thank you for your hard work, you can ask for any reward you want."

"Really?" Luo Xiaoliu immediately let go of his hand covering his buttocks, and almost jumped up happily, "Is everything okay?"

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched, and he looked at him with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Luo Xiaoliu smiled awkwardly, leaned against Zuo Shaoqing and said, "Master, these are what a slave should do, how can a slave ask for rewards? But... if the master goes out to build a mansion by himself in the future, you can let the slave Butler?"

"You think so far!" Zuo Shaoqing hit him unceremoniously: "How old are you this year, do you want to take charge of a mansion?" With his background, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get a manager.

Sharp-eyed Luo Xiaoliu's nimble eyes were covered with disappointment, and Zuo Shaoqing encouraged him again: "Although I can't let you take care of the housekeeper, as long as you behave well, I can let you take care of a yard."

"What is there to manage in the yard?" Luo Xiaoliu followed Zuo Shaoqing since he was a child, and there were only three people in the yard at the time, who could he control?Who else can take care of him?

Zuo Shaoqing glanced at him and stopped talking to him.

Just as he was about to pass on the meal, the housekeeper of the Zuo Mansion walked in tremblingly, lowered his head and said, "Third Master, Mr. Jiang hosted a banquet in the mansion today, and the Zuo Mansion was also invited. The master wants you to change your clothes quickly." Go to the lobby."

Zuo Shaoqing didn't remember this anymore, and frowned, he didn't want to join in the fun at all, the Jiang family, he didn't want to go in any more in his life.

"Go and tell the master that I won't go if I'm not feeling well. Jiang's family is high, so I won't care about a bastard from a small family."

The housekeeper lowered his head even lower, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate... When the Jiang family sent the invitation, they specially ordered the young masters to go, and what the master meant was that he would take this opportunity to get to know Jiang Shilang and treat the three of them well." There are advantages and disadvantages to my future official career."

Zuo Shaoqing glanced out of the corner of his eyes, no wonder there were advantages and no disadvantages. However, he also wanted to see what tricks Jiang Che and Zuo Shaoyan would use.

"Then let the master wait for a while, I will go there soon."

After the housekeeper left, Zuo Shaoqing said to Luo Xiaoliu, "You don't need to follow if you are injured, I will take Yin along."

When they arrived at the front hall, Zuo Shaoqing found that the entire family was there, and all of them were well-dressed. In comparison, the clothes of the bastard himself were too plain and low-key. People who didn't know must think that the Zuofu abused the bastard .

Mrs. Xue already knew the news of Luo Xiaoliu's return without success just now, and she was proud of it. Seeing Zuo Shaoqing like this, she couldn't help but mocked: "I said, Shaoqing, you have to worry about suppressing Zuo Fu's face even if you don't care about Zuo Fu's face." The face of the Duke's Mansion, what will others think of it?"

Zuo Shaoqing arched his hands at her, as a salute, "Don't bother mother, the appearance is a frivolous thing, so don't be too particular about it."

Zuo Shaoyan sized him up and felt that Zuo Shaoqing's temperament was more important than his appearance, and he no longer needed any external decoration.

He lowered his eyes and said, "Is Shaoqing's gift ready? If not, brother will help you first."

Zuo Shaoqing asked suspiciously with wide eyes: "Huh? Aren't you all together? Why do I have to prepare?" Ask him to give him a gift from Jiangfu?There are no doors!

Zuo Yunwen clenched his fists and coughed, "Okay, okay, it's just a trivial matter, Shaoqing hasn't married yet, so there's no need to prepare the gift alone."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled at Zuo Yunwen: "Thank you father for your understanding, my son is shy in his pocket, and he is afraid of losing the face of the Zuo family when he gives gifts."

Zuo Yunwen blushed when he thought of his son's monthly silver, which was only one tael a month. One tael of silver was not a lot for ordinary people, but it was obviously too little for a son who might become the number one scholar.

Students also need to communicate and date frequently. Drinking a pot of wine casually, listening to a little song costs more than a tael of silver. home face.

Zuo Yunwen thought so, and immediately made up his mind to raise the monthly silver for Zuo Shaoqing when he came back.

How did he know that Zuo Shaoqing now has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is also a Zhenbao Pavilion in the downtown area, which is about to open in two days. At that time, the daily income will be a considerable amount. One tael of silver?

Looking at the sky outside, Zuo Yunwen frowned and asked the housekeeper, "Where's Shuhui? Why isn't she well?"

As soon as the words were finished, a little maid hurriedly ran in, "Master and Madam, Missy said she was unwell and couldn't go out."

Everyone knew what was going on, but they were reluctant to speak out. The rumors about Zuo Shuhui were so fierce today, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stand it.

In fact, it's not just her, Xue Shi and Zuo Yunwen also don't want to go out and make a fool of themselves, but this banquet is too important and rare, not only will not wash away their reputation, but it may offend the nobleman.

Zuo Shaoyan walked out of the gate without saying a word, and headed towards Zuo Shuhui's yard. Not long after, he came with Zuo Shuhui dressed up.

Zuo Shuhui was indeed naturally beautiful, even if she was hit during this period, it would not damage her beauty, but instead made her a bit more weak and feminine.

Zuo Yunwen looked at this girl complicatedly, and felt a little uncomfortable. This daughter has been caring since she was a child, and she excelled in everything. She thought that there would be a great fortune, but she didn't want to become the situation she is today.

"It's getting late, let's go." The whole family boarded the carriage, and headed towards Yonghe Lane where Jiangfu was sitting.

Arriving outside the gate of Jiangfu, Zuo Yunwen got out of the carriage and straightened the crumpled clothes, and led the whole family to hand over the post.

The guard at the door seemed to have received a special order. Seeing the Zuo family coming, instead of taking it lightly, he led them into the Jiang mansion himself, and said respectfully: "My young master has given orders. Master Zuo is a distinguished guest. Let the young ones Serve carefully."

Everyone loves to hear good words, let alone a family like the Jiang Mansion. Zuo Yunwen straightened his back in an instant, and he didn't have the initial fear when looking at this magnificent mansion.

Zuo Shaoqing secretly observed Zuo Shaoyan's expression, trying to figure out something from it, but it was a pity that Zuo Shaoyan always had a calm expression without changing his face, which made him unable to start, so he had to be more vigilant secretly.

Although he has lived in Jiangfu for so many years, he doesn't know anything about it. His previous life in Jiangfu was very limited, not to mention the front yard, even the backyard.

It was the first time to observe this mansion so carefully, Zuo Shaoqing had to sigh, it was indeed a family of the same level as Zhen Guogong's mansion, Jiang Mansion was also bestowed by Emperor Taizu back then, it has been modified several times, and it is beautiful.

Different from the grandeur of Zhen Guogong's mansion, Jiang's mansion pays more attention to elegance and luxury. Every table and chairs are carefully crafted, not to mention the rockery, flowing water, pavilions, towers and pavilions, which are well reflected and dazzling.

Zuo Shaoqing noticed that all the Zuo family members showed envious and yearning expressions when they saw this scene. He secretly laughed twice, thinking that his plan for tonight would definitely go smoothly.

It is not so easy for Zuo Shaoyan and Jiang Che to plot against him, maybe cleverness will be mistaken by cleverness, and it is not certain who will win in the end.

When they arrived at the flower hall, the men and women were separated, and the free maid led Xue Shi and Zuo Shuhui into the back hall. Zuo Shaoqing smiled darkly against Zuo Shuhui's graceful back.

"Coming?" A familiar male voice sounded in his ears, Zuo Shaoqing turned his head, and smelled a faint scent of tea, and then saw Lu Zhengwei'an's figure.

"It's really early for Master Lu to come." Since the rumors about him and Lu Zheng had already spread, Zuo Shaoqing didn't need to hide their familiarity.

Zuo Yunwen and Zuo Shaoyan were taken aback. It was one thing to hear rumors, but another thing to see them with their own eyes. They first saluted Lu Zheng before looking at this man whom the Zuo family had coveted for a long time.

Lu Zheng's appearance is impeccable, not only his appearance is handsome, his figure is well-proportioned, but his aura alone is enough to make people admire and submit.

Lu Zheng glanced at the two of them, and when his eyes fell on Zuo Shaoyan, his gaze turned cold twice, then he nodded to Zuo Shaoqing and said, "My father-in-law just arrived, let's go in together."

It is conceivable that the scene of Lu Zheng and Zuo Shaoqing walking together can attract many people's guesses. Those who originally believed only five points now believe eight points, and those who did not believe at all are also shaken. thought.

Jiang Che greeted the guests at the door. When he saw the two people walking in with him, his eyes darkened for a moment, and then he put on a big smile and clasped his fists and said, "It really makes the humble house flourish to be honored by Mr. Lu. ah."

Lu Zheng turned his eyes behind his hands and said, "If Jiang Mansion can also be called a humble house, then there is probably no house in this capital that dares to call itself a mansion."

Generations of people in the Zhen Guogong's mansion were busy guarding the frontier. When there was a war, they couldn't go home once in a few years. Naturally, they neglected to refine the huge mansion.

Zuo Shaoqing's husband and wife echoed casually: "This is the first time Wansheng has seen such a beautiful mansion, I'm afraid it's nothing more than an imperial palace."

This sounds unlucky, can a house that dares to compare with the palace in the world be able to make a good end?

How could Jiang Che take the bait, and cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial palace, "The third son from the left has never been in the imperial city, so it's not surprising that this imperial palace is there. How can Jiangfu, a small household like this, compare?"

Zuo Shaoqing's teeth were sour when he heard this, and he felt that Jiang Che was extremely hypocritical, but everyone around him was watching, and he couldn't be too mean, so he lowered his head and looked at his toes, and stopped talking.

When Old Master Jiang and Master Jiang heard about Lu Zheng's arrival, they rushed out to greet him, and then they naturally complimented each other. Most of the people who came to Jiang's house for the banquet were dignitaries, and they were all masters of show talk.

After everyone was seated, Zuo Shaoqing's chest was already hung on his back, and the three of them, father and son, were still arranged in a corner position, which was very different from Lu Zheng's treatment, but this was exactly what the Zuo family should have. The treatment, on the contrary, made them less conspicuous.

After drinking for three rounds, the scene became lively. Someone suddenly raised the volume and yelled: "I heard that the peony garden in Jiangfu is unique and has a variety of varieties. It is a good time for peonies to bloom. I wonder if I can let everyone have a look at it." ?”

With this topic, everyone echoed it. Every year, the hostess of Jiangfu will hold a peony party, and invite ladies and daughters of boudoirs to enjoy the flowers. I am interested in flowers.

Mrs. Jiang's complexion was ruddy, and it was hard to tell that he was over sixty years old. He nodded, and his servants would tidy up the peony garden first.

Zuo Shaoqing was not very interested in the words of Shangjiang Mansion, and looked at the crowd flocking to him and thought coldly: When he opens a peony garden in Zhen Guogong Mansion in the future, he must compare with Jiang Mansion!

But he didn't want to invite people to visit, wasting a quiet place in vain, and then he and Lu Zheng could have a good time together, it's beautiful to think about.

"Shaoqing, what are you thinking? Let's go..." Zuo Yunwen let out a low drink and pulled Zuo Shaoqing back to his senses.
