Lu Sangyu followed the sound of the woman's whimpering and saw that her mother's hands and feet were tied, her hair had been cut in several strands, her mouth was stuffed with cloth strips, and she was whimpering with her eyes wide open.
As for himself, his hands and feet are free and unfettered.
He stood up immediately, ran to his mother regardless of his dizziness, took out the cloth from her mouth, "Mom, how are you?"
Mrs. Lu originally saw My son was also caught, so he was so anxious that he issued a whimpering warning.
Now that he saw that his son was well, Fang felt relieved and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Lu Sangyu looked at his mother from top to bottom several times and made sure that he had only cut a few cuts. The strands of hair were unobstructed, but with his mind calm, he was filled with anger.
He looked at his mother's white jade-like wrists with red marks tied on them, and rage flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, a man walked out of the back room with a smile, "It is really presumptuous to invite Mr. Lu here in this way."
The man was in his forties and slightly fat. , with a beard on his face. When he smiled, his beard twitched.
While untying his mother, Lu Sangyu asked without raising his head, "Is it because you kidnapped the relatives of the imperial officials because they want to live longer?"
The man laughed loudly, " You are serious, Mr. Lu." He introduced himself, "My surname is Chen, and I want to make friends with Mr. Lu and form a relationship."
Lu Sangyu froze and raised his head suddenly, in disbelief. "Master Chen... Sir? Aren't you Lord Cen's adoptive father?"
The man was indeed Chen Jikang, Baron of Fuguo. He clapped his hands and a group of people came in carrying several wooden boxes.
One box after another was opened, gold and silver jewelry, unique calligraphy books, silk and satin, shining with the light of wealth and wealth under the candlelight.
He said, "Just be careful, just treat Chen as asking Mr. Lu to apologize for what happened today."
Lu Sangyu's face suddenly turned cold, "What if I refuse?"
"That's because Master Lu thinks Chen's sincerity is not enough." He clapped his hands again, and the servants brought in a few more wooden boxes and opened them one by one. They were still filled with glittering gold and silver jewelry.
This time, Lu Sangyu did not refuse immediately, "What do you want?"
Chen Jikang's face was full of smiles, "Master Lu, Chen said that he wants to make friends with you ." He ordered people to come in again, "Take Mrs. Lu to freshen up, don't scare anyone again."
Lu Sangyu's face turned cold, "No need."
"Hey! Chen Jikang smiled but said, "Now that we are here, if Chen really wants to do something, can we wait until now? Mr. Lu, please be patient, it's still early, sit down and talk slowly." I drank some wine and apologized slightly."
Lu Sangyu glanced at his mother.
Mrs. Lu knew that her son still had to deal with things, and did not want to hold him back, so she nodded to her son and followed her mother-in-law out.
The servants filed in, bringing good wine and food. Soon a large table of chicken, duck, fish, delicacies from the mountains and sea was set.
Chen Jikang is still smilingGreeting each other, "Master Lu, please."
Lu Sangyu's mind was spinning.
He knew that Chen Jikang was Cen Yuan's adoptive father, and that Cen Yuan had won this title for him. Otherwise, with the brains of a businessman like Chen Jikang, it is estimated that he will not be able to achieve class crossing in a few lifetimes.
But later, when Cen Yuan got married, the Chen family was not present.
Obviously, the relationship has fallen apart.
Thinking of this, Lu Sangyu sat down in front of the table filled with feasts, flicked the corner of his robe, "Let's get straight to the point, what do you need from me?"
Chen Jikang used it personally. He picked up the dishes with chopsticks and said, "Mr. Lu, let's eat and drink first before we talk."
Lu Sangyu raised his eyebrows and pushed the bowls and chopsticks forward in disgust, spilling the food and wine on the table, " Do you think I dare to eat your food? If a person like you, who is accustomed to using dirty tricks, puts some medicine and lets me sleep with your wife and your daughter, I will be sick to death."
The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough. Who is Lu Sangyu? When he was a child, he heard all the obscene words, and when he entered the Lu family, he and his mother were often slandered with obscene words. He had long since become indestructible.
It was just his status as the second best person, and his elegance as a scholar, which made him look like a dog for a while. He has always been a non-vegetarian, free and uninhibited person at heart, but now, how can he say anything nice about him.
Chen Jikang was choked by him and became quite angry, "It's really insulting to be polite!"
Lu Sangyu laughed loudly, "Master Chen, I can't talk about being polite when others talk about you. Forget it. You are a rough old man and a businessman. Do you really think that being a knight means you have achieved a class leap?"
Chen Jikang hates when people talk about his business background, and there is a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. .
Lu Sangyu was not ready to shut up, and always asked for some copies of the fright his mother had suffered, "Do you know who painted "The Shocking Mountain"? Do you know who painted "The Book of Shaohua"? Did you do it? Do you know what the Six Laws are? Do you know that kidnapping the relatives of imperial officials is punishable?" He slammed the table, "Chen Jikang, how many dogs do you have? Is it enough to kill you?"
Chen Jikang stood up suddenly, "Aren't you afraid that I will embarrass your mother?"
"Look, this is what a businessman like you would use. Lu Sangyu slowly raised his head and smiled contemptuously, "But you don't dare! As you said, you have been in trouble for a long time. Why don't you wait until now to call out the master behind you? Talk, I don’t want to waste my time with people like you.”
Mrs. Lu had already dressed herself up outside the door. When she heard her son’s words, she walked in, “Sang Yu, you don’t have to worry about your mother. Don't be fooled by them."
Lu Sangyu then took out a packet of peanut candy from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Lu, "Mom, put your belly first."
This. The package of sweets was brought out from the table when he went out, thinking that it would be an emergency in case his mother was hungry.
He helped his mother sit down, then turned around and said to Chen Jikang, "I'll give you half an hour to clear the door behind you."The master called out. Otherwise, Lu will be out of date. It's not that I look down upon you, but even if you, Lord Chen, give you ten courages, I wouldn't dare to keep me in your house. ”
Chen Jikang’s face was livid, and he didn’t want to say a word to this guy anymore.
The literati didn’t use curse words when they cursed, but every word hurt his heart.
As soon as he went out, his wife Yao rushed up to him and asked, "How is it?" Did he agree to marry our Mengran? "
Chen Jikang pushed his wife and said angrily, "No need to dream. ”
Before the serious business was discussed, and the additional conditions were not mentioned, he was slapped with insults. Who could be in a good mood?
He entered the main hall and faced a The man standing in front of the window admiring the moon with his hands behind his back said respectfully, "Master Li, Master Lu wants to see you. ”
“What step have you discussed with him? "The man turned around, and it was none other than Li Changfeng.
Chen Jikang wiped the sweat from his forehead. What step! It was just the step to get scolded!
But It should be said like this, "My subordinates don't understand political affairs, and they can't talk well with Mr. Lu. The subordinate was worried that it would be counterproductive, so he comforted him first. Mr. Li will have to discuss the rest in person. After all, Mr. Lu is talented and a smart man. "
Subordinate! That's right, the Chen family received an olive branch from the Li family before the breakup with Cen Yuan...
