Three days later, Daozi completed the escort mission and followed the boat back to Hailing.
Xu He called Wu Decao and Ding Ze to look for a yard outside for a day and prepared to move out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived home, Xu Peng handed an invitation to Xu He and said, "It was sent by a servant of the British Duke's office. He said that he would invite you, Xiaohe, to attend a cultural gathering."
Xu He was stunned when he heard this, the British government!
Isn't this Lu Heng's family?
I write to that little girl every month. Could it be that she knew I was coming to Beijing, so she specially invited me to meet her in the name of the Cultural Society?
When Xu He thought about it, it was really possible.
Lu Heng is the daughter of a British noble family, and should be the daughter-in-law of this generation of British Duke Lu Heng.
this……
Xu He was very curious as to how Lu Heng convinced his family to make such a big fuss just to invite him.
"Hey, Liangsheng, it's definitely Lu Heng. It's been almost a year since Hailing passed away. I wonder how Miss Lu is doing now?"
Wu Decao said again in a cowardly manner: "You said that Miss Lu is not attracted to you? You persuaded your parents to invite you to visit the house, what kind of literary meeting? It's all fake, but in fact it's your father-in-law who took the opportunity to see your son-in-law!" "
Xu He rolled his eyes at him, pretending to be disdainful.
But in fact, he also had this estimate in his mind.
Is this really the case?
This time, Xu He was in a bit of a dilemma.
Go ahead, just in case, as expected, you treat Lu Heng as a friend. Although there is a skin-to-skin relationship between the walls, it is a helpless move after all.
If someone uses this to force him, it would be difficult for him to handle it given his status as a British government official!
Don't go, I actually really want to see Lu Heng. The last time Huai'an Mansion asked for food, in the end it was Eunuch Zheng who was beside Lu Heng for help.
It doesn't make sense that someone helped you and invited you to be a guest, but you don't go.
After hesitating for a while, Xu He decided not to go. He was definitely not the only guest invited to the cultural gathering organized by the noble family, so he excused himself and wrote to Lu Heng to send some gifts. This was considered satisfactory. An explanation saves space, but if it turns out to be what Wu Decao said, it would be embarrassing.
Hearing that Xu He decided not to go, Wu Decao was a little stunned: "Liangsheng, Lu Heng, you really don't want to go?"
"Don't go!"
"Would this make Lu Heng feel sad? She is a woman after all. If you do this..."
Xu He explained his plan, and finally said: "Brother Yaochen, just in time, you can help me and tell me that I am sick! Prepare another gift for Lu Heng in the name of Eunuch Zheng. Let’s go get some gifts and the manuscript of Journey to the West!”
Wu Decao stared at Xu He for a long time, and finally said depressedly: "I don't know how happy it would be if someone else could attach themselves to the British government. You'd better stay away from him! Alas! I feel sorry for Lu Heng, I can see through the autumn water!"
"roll……"
…
Unexpectedly, Wu Decao went out for a while and then brought someone back.
Xu He was reading in the study, and Wu Decao's voice sounded outside: "Master Lu, please come here, please, slow down!"
When Xu He heard the noise, he stood up and said, Lu Heng is here, it's Lu Heng.
Although he was mostly friends with Lu Heng, it was definitely impossible to say that he didn't have any feelings between men and women.
Lu Heng told him when she left that day that she would never forget that night by the lake.
That night by the lake, he told the story of Wang Sheng of Taiyuan..., the oval-faced [young father-in-law] hugged his arms, her softness...
Thinking of this, how could Xu He, as an adult man, not feel anything.
He stood up from his chair and looked expectantly at the door.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, standing in front of him was a young man with a round face... a man...
Not Lu Heng?
Xu He felt a little disappointed, but he still raised his hands towards the man and said, "I wonder if my brother is..."
Wu Decao hurriedly introduced: "This is the young prince of the British government..."
"Mr. Xu, I'm Lu Ji, courtesy name Yuanzhi!" Lu Ji smiled and returned the favor!
Wu Decao stood behind him and winked at Xu He and said: "This Young Master Lu is the legitimate son of the British Duke, the Young Duke of the British Duke's Mansion!"
Xu He quickly asked Lu Ji to sit down and asked Ding Ze to serve tea.
As soon as Lu Ji sat down, Xu He said with a smile: "Shang Shu said: Ji Ran has great ambitions! Mr. Lu has high hopes for the young master!"
Lu Ji smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Xu Ge's nephew Xu He and Xu Liangsheng are very knowledgeable. He knew the allusion of my name when we met. Sure enough, he is a worthy man despite his great reputation!"
When Xu He heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart.
If someone can reach the stage of being elected as he is, what does "Shang Shu Da Zhuan" mean? Ji Ranyuan's ambition is to memorize the sentence!
It seems that this young man is not very good at studying!
Lu Ji tested Xu He before he even knew what he said. He smiled at Xu He and said, "I like reading the most on weekdays, and I often want to be friends with talented people like Xu Jieyuan. No, I specially asked my father a few days ago. Inviting talented people from Beijing to come to my house to sing poems and drink wine, among them, the one I most want to get to know is Xu Jieyuan!"
"I heard from this friend Wu today that Xu Jieyuan was suffering from cold and was suffering from heartburn, so he came to visit him. I hope Mr. Xie Yuang doesn't think I'm rude!"
After hearing this, Xu He wanted to laugh in his heart. This young man spoke half-literally, and was obviously someone who had difficulty finding words and extracting sentences. At his level, he even said that he likes reading, haha...
Xu He said with a smile: "I'm so sorry. I just came to the capital and I'm not accustomed to the local environment! I can't come to the house, which is a disgrace to the young master!"
Lu Ji was anxious: "Oh, what should I do? How about this? I ask an imperial doctor to come and take a look at Jie Yuanlang?"
Xu He's face turned dark when he heard this. If he really invited an imperial doctor to come, wouldn't it be a mistake? "Ahem, no, no, no."
This young master is also a fool. At this point, he still couldn't hear Xu He's polite refusal. He made a decision immediately: "Then let's do this. We will postpone the meeting until Mr. Xie Yuan recovers from his illness!"
It’s not over, right?
Xu He's head hurt a little.
Wu Decao smiled at Xu He as if he was watching a good show.
Xu He said helplessly: "My illness is not serious. Let's do this. Young Master's cultural gathering will continue as usual. I will just go!"
Lu Ji suddenly became happy when he heard this: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll get ready when I go back right away. It's settled that I will solve the problem for Duke Yuan!"
What else could it be?
"It's a deal!"
Lu Ji got the message and left happily.
After he left, Wu Decao laughed and said, "Your uncle really wants to bring you and Lu Heng together!"
After Xu He stared at him for a while, he said, "Why don't Brother Yaochen go back to Nanjing and sit in prison?"
"Hiss! Liangsheng, you are so stingy. I just teased you a few words, but you are pushing me into a pit of fire!"
"Haha, this scumbag!" Xu He laughed!
