At that moment, his face was only contorted with hatred.
It was also because of this that he did not step forward.
In the end, it was Zhu Zanxun's uncle who spotted Zhu Yuewu standing at the door first. As soon as he saw Zhu Yuewu, Zhu Zanxun's uncle couldn't help but sarcastically mocked him.
"Hey, isn't this Yue Wu? Why are you so late? The banquet has already dispersed, but you just came. What's wrong? Did you oversleep?"
With just a few words, this brother-in-law created the image of Zhu Yuewu as a sleepy and useless person.
Zhu Yuewu's face almost turned angry when he heard what the other party said, but with so many people present, it was difficult for him to fight back.
Therefore, he could only smile and say, "What did you say, uncle? Yue Wu is not just like his uncle who just spends time sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, indulging in the gentle land. Yue Wu is very busy."
Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, this time it was the uncle who was angry. However, when he wanted to fight back, Zhu Zanxun's uncle suddenly coughed, and then the younger uncle did not dare to say anything.
Since Zhu Yuewu appeared, Zhu Zanxun naturally couldn't help but have a few words with Zhu Yuewu.
"Yuewu, why are you here?" Zhu Zanxun just asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing Zhu Zanxun's question, Zhu Yuewu just whispered, "Of course I'm doing something for my father."
Zhu Zanxun just nodded when he heard this. Then out of process, Zhu Zanxun took the initiative to introduce Zhu Yuewu to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, this is my second brother Zhu Yuewu."
Lu Zhizhang just nodded when he heard this, but Zhu Yuewu had already come up to him, "Hello Lord Lu, I have admired your name for a long time. I can see you today. You are indeed an extraordinary person."
When Lu Zhizhang heard Zhu Yuewu's exaggerated words, he just smiled lightly, "That's a compliment. It's the second young master who is a first-rate talent, extraordinary."
Zhu Yuewu exchanged a few pleasantries and then got to the point.
"Master Lu, I heard that you like Wu Juxi's paintings. I happened to get Wu Juxi's paintings from a good friend a few days ago. Can you please see if this painting is authentic?"
After Zhu Yuewu said this, he handed the painting to Lu Zhizhang again.
Lu Zhizhang naturally did not refuse. He just took the painting and took a closer look. Then there was a moment of surprise in his eyes. This painting was indeed the original work of Wu Juxi. This Qiulin painting was once auctioned for one million. Two white flowers and silver.
To be able to acquire this masterpiece, one must either have a very wealthy family or have a rich ancestral estate.
Even the officials in Beijing couldn't just take down such a painting.
He took one last look at the painting, and then said to Zhu Yuewu, "This painting is authentic."
After saying that, he returned the painting to Zhu Yuewu.
Zhu Yuewu originally planned to give this painting to the other party, but at this time, Zhu Yuewu was not willing to accept the painting.
Therefore, he immediately said in a flattering manner, "As long as this painting is real, sir, I bought it specially for you, so just take it."
However, under the public gaze, how could Lu Zhizhang accept it? In his opinion, he only felt that he didn't like Zhu Yuewu.
After all, although Zhu Yuewu sent a painting that he liked, in order to send this painting, he first studied his own. He didn't like to be studied by others.
The most important thing is that the painting he gave to him is worth millions. How could an ordinary bastard afford so much money?
It seems that the rumors I heard on the road may not be groundless.
This time he came here, he even felt that he was too aggressive. How could he accept the other party's things at this moment? .five
So he just pushed it with his hand and said, "The second young master is interested, but I really can't accept this thing. The second young master should take it back."
Zhu Yuewu wanted to refuse, but Lu Zhizhang's attitude was very firm.
Zhu Yuewu also saw Lu Zhizhang's gangster attitude. After knowing that it was impossible for the other party to accept the painting in his hand, Zhu Yuewu could only take back the painting in his hand unwillingly. At this moment, he felt that his face was being stepped on. Underfoot.
He originally wanted to use
This painting was done to please the other party, but now Lu Zhizhang doesn't accept his things at all.
He just felt very embarrassed. However, even so, he could only put away the scroll in his hand.
And just when he was about to follow Zhu Zanxun and the others to the post house, a servant behind him suddenly said to Zhu Yuewu, "Second Young Master, please come over."
After hearing the other party's instructions, Zhu Yuewu could only nod helplessly.
And Zhu Zanxun was naturally happy that his second brother would no longer follow him.
After all, after Zhu Yuewu took out the painting of Wu Juxi, he was already shocked by Zhu Yuewu's arrogant behavior. Isn't this bringing trouble to his family? For a moment, he even thought that Zhu Yuewu was deliberately trying to disgust himself because he couldn't get any benefits.
After getting on the carriage, Zhu Yuewu immediately apologized to Lu Zhizhang for Zhu Yuewu's behavior just now.
"Lord Marquis Lu, my little brother's words and deeds are out of character. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. He did not mean any harm."
Lu Zhizhang naturally didn't believe Zhu Zanxun's rhetoric. At the moment, he was just saying this to make the scene look good.
And since he is currently on the other side's territory, of course he can't just turn his back on him.
Therefore, Lu Zhizhang only said, "The eldest young master is worrying too much. How could the second young master ever be so hospitable to me?"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Zhu Zanxun felt relieved. After arriving at the post house, Lu Zhizhang suddenly took the initiative and said to Zhu Zanxun, "By the way, young master, my cousin Fang Hui and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know." Would you like to make it easier for me to talk to Fang Hui?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's proposal, Zhu Zanxun naturally nodded, and then Lu Zhizhang looked directly at Shen Fanghui, "Cousin, come here first."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's call, Shen Fanghui was frightened.
After all, she had not taken the initiative to convey news to Lu Zhizhang for so long, although this was not her subjective wish.
However, this was the case, and she didn't know what the other party would do.
But she was bought by the other party, so even if she was afraid, she had no other choice.
Therefore, even though Shen Fanghui was afraid at the moment, she could only take the initiative to walk to Lu Zhizhang's side.
After entering, Lu Zhizhang's attitude changed as expected, and his previous amiable and smiling appearance turned into displeasure and embarrassment.
"Let me ask you, what is the situation in Yunzhou City now?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Shen Fanghui obviously didn't know what the other party wanted to hear, so she only asked cautiously, "What does the young marquis want to hear?"
Although Lu Zhizhang looked stinky, he didn't get angry. He just said coldly, "Of course what's going on with the Zhu family now! One million and one painting will be given away. I didn't know this prefect was so rich!"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang mention this, Shen Fanghui roughly knew what Lu Zhizhang wanted to know. Shen Fanghui couldn't help but whisper to Lu Zhizhang, "The Zhu family can be said to be a powerful presence in Yunzhou, and the Zhu family plunders a lot of people's wealth and wealth." , The Zhu family in Yunzhou is an existence that is almost terrifying to the locals. "
After hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Lu Zhizhang had some ideas in his mind. He even remembered some of what he had seen and heard on the road, and he already had some ideas in his mind.
However, he still spoke up and asked, "I heard from Grandma Sun that you met gangsters on the road?"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's question, Shen Fanghui just nodded silently. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang suddenly said, "Did you have any adventures on the road? Otherwise, I don't think you would be able to show up in Yunzhou safe and sound like this, right?"
When asked this question, Lu Zhizhang's expression was only half-smiling.
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but beat a little drum in her heart.
This was really inappropriate to say, but she had to say it at the moment. After all, when he says what he said, he will definitely not get any good results.
Therefore, after some entanglement, Shen Fanghui finally told the truth.
「
I met the carriage team of His Royal Highness Prince Jin on the road. They took action to deal with the gangsters for us, so my grandma and I were able to survive. We followed them for a while, but after meeting the eldest young master of the Zhu family, I parted ways with King Jin and the others. "Shen Fanghui could only tell Lu Zhizhang the actual situation at the moment. After all, what happened to her in Leiyang was also known to Nanny Sun, and now Nanny Sun is in the group of accompanying people. If she doesn't tell the truth , Grandma Sun must have told Lu Zhizhang what she saw that day. Lu Zhizhang asked himself this, probably just to test himself.
I have to admit that Shen Fanghui's idea is very correct.
Lu Zhizhang just nodded after listening to Shen Fanghui's words. He seemed to be very satisfied with Shen Fanghui's honesty.
But then he asked again, "Then do you know why this King Jin is here?"
Shen Fanghui naturally knew what King Jin was for. After all, judging from Wu Chengwei's rescue of Li Yunlan, King Jin seemed to be suppressing bandits, but in fact he also intervened in the affairs of the Zhu family and his son, and this news was probably what Lu Zhizhang wanted to hear. Yes.
However, thinking about Wu Chengwei who was still here, she couldn't help but hold her tongue. She didn't want Lu Zhizhang to know about Wu Chengwei's existence.
Even if this was another test by Lu Zhizhang, she didn't want the news about Wu Chengwei to be leaked from her own mouth.
This is what she thought, and she did the same thing. She did not tell Wu Chengwei's existence.
She just said blankly, "I don't know, but judging from King Jin's discussion, he should be suppressing bandits in Leiyang. After all, he has surrendered a large number of bandits before."
It can be said that Shen Fanghui was actually quite lucky this time. Obviously Lu Zhizhang did not know the existence of Wu Chengwei at this time, so he just nodded silently to Shen Fanghui's words.
Then he just said, "Keep an eye on the Zhu family for me. If there is anything wrong with the Zhu family, come over and tell me quickly. I want first-hand information!"
