When Lu Changsheng entered the inner hall, he saw Master Chen coming towards him with a smile on his face.
"Come here quickly, Lin'er!"
Chen Lin followed Master Chen.
This boy looks better than Zhao Qing, has a dash of heroic spirit, and looks quite lovable. I wonder if it is because he was admitted as a child student, and his face has an extra layer of official power.
"You are from the same village as Lin'er's mother, and you have achieved the title of Tongsheng first. Lin'er calls you Brother Lu, which is quite reasonable!"
Chen Lin was silent for a moment and shouted: "Brother Lu!"
Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Chen, you are polite! Speaking of which, you are older than me, so there is no need to call me brother!"
He saw the reluctance in the other party's heart and felt a little wary.
No matter how you look at it, Master Chen doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing.
I guess he has a plan!
Sure enough, after a few compliments, Master Chen seemed a little impatient and said: "Chang Sheng, you know what happened before. It is not something we can control. It concerns the Xun family, not to mention us, but also that Xu Everyone in the government should consider it carefully!"
"Changsheng understands this matter, Master, don't worry about it!"
This is true.
The agreement between the two parties was a mutually beneficial transaction. If the transaction failed, he would not resent the other party.
"Then I'm relieved. I invited you here this time because of Lin'er's matter! You also know that it is extremely difficult to get ahead in Heishan Mansion. Like me, Chen Yifu, I have to pay a huge price to climb to my current position. It’s not something ordinary people can imagine.”
"Because of this, I don't necessarily want my descendants to be reduced to the bottom! Lin'er's talent is rare, and even among children, he will receive a second-class evaluation!"
Lu Changsheng remained silent.
He knows something about this second class.
Whether it is Heishan Prefecture or other prefectures, it is not uncommon to invest in Jinke Tongsheng. Over time, a unique rating standard has been formed.
There are four levels: A, B, C and D. The higher the level, the higher the potential.
At the beginning, he was also rated as a second-class evaluation.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't take the opportunity to speak, Master Chen was a little unhappy, but he continued: "I know you have some hesitation, how about giving it to Lin'er? By then, my Chen family will have accepted your love! "
I see!
After hearing this, all the doubts in Lu Changsheng's heart disappeared.
Before coming, he was still curious. Wasn't Master Chen afraid of the Xun family's attitude when he invited him over?
Now it seems that everything is clear.
This kind of attempt to seize the property of Hefei can be regarded as an evil act. Even if the Xun family was really concerned about this matter, they would only be satisfied with Master Chen's performance and would not anger Master Chen.
"So, no matter what the nobles want to achieve, there is no need to worry at all. Perhaps, just one look can make the people at the bottom fall into dust forever!"
Lu Changsheng once again experienced the world of officials and the terror of those in power.
Only by sharing an official position can this situation be avoided.
"Master, what you said makes sense, but I have a question that I would like to ask for advice on!" Lu Changsheng was not angry.
He knew that getting angry at any time would not solve the problem, it would only make the situation worse.
Seeing how calm he was, Master Chen's expression softened and he became as kind as usual.
"You ask. Although I, Chen Yifu, failed to pass the exam, that's not my problem. I think I can still answer your question!"
Lu Changsheng smiled and said: "I heard that in addition to Chen's school, the Chen family also has a restaurant and a bookstore. Changsheng Hefei is shallow. As a junior of the master, I must not want to see this junior become a low-class child, right? I don't know. , Master, can you transfer these things to Changsheng, Changsheng will definitely remember this favor!"
Master Chen's expression suddenly dropped.
This can almost be said to be repeating myself.
"It seems that you didn't understand the situation!"
Lu Changsheng said helplessly: "Master is not willing, and this junior is naturally not willing either. However, this junior knows that it is a crime to have a jade in his arms. Therefore, can you give this junior some time to think about it?"
Mr. Chen's face became better now.
"It seems that you are also a reasonable person. It is natural to think about it carefully, but don't take too long!"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly turned from tense to harmonious, and as if to make up for the debt in his heart, Master Chen specially entertained Lu Changsheng in person, served him good wine and good food, and stuffed some money into him before Lu Changsheng left.
But it's not much, only a dozen taels.
"What a great gesture!" Looking at the money in Xunzi's sleeves, Lu Changsheng showed a hint of sarcasm.
Just as he was walking back, the inner hall of Chen's mansion.
More than a dozen people were sitting around, watching the maid in the middle dancing beautifully in tulle.
After a while, Master Chen walked in, hugged a maid, rubbed her into his arms, exhaled a long breath, and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.
It's a pity that at his age, he can only live with his hand addiction.
Therefore, after a while, he could only let go of his hand with a look of helplessness, letting the passionate maid reveal a look of reproach.
"how?"
"It's done! Lu Changsheng is also quite sensible. If it had been at our time, he might have become famous, but it's a pity -" Chen Fuzi shook his head.
Times can build people up, but they can also destroy people.
Therefore, sometimes ability is not enough for people to reach a matching position, and it also depends on the overall environment.
"Is it that easy? What did he say?"
Several wealthy men looked surprised.
Ask yourself, if it comes to them, they will definitely not give up the hard-earned success to others easily.
Favor?
This thing is just a piece of dough, you can knead it however you want. Unless everyone is of similar status, no one will take it seriously.
Master Chen told the story of the chat.
The big players thought for a moment, then shook their heads and said, "In the final analysis, they are still a little unwilling!"
"I heard that he also participated in this year's examination. It seems that he wanted to delay it until the time when the candidates were released."
"I know a piece of news. Lu Changsheng performed extremely well in the final archery test. Even the Gao family wanted to invite him to be their archery master."
Master Chen suddenly asked anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
If Lu Changsheng really entered the Gao family, even if he was just an archery master, it would be easy for him to deal with the Chen family.
The big man shook his head and said, "I didn't tell you because Lu Changsheng refused!"
Many big players sneered.
Lin Xiaowen said with emotion: "Fortunately, I have ended my relationship with him. To be honest, before this, I was even hesitant about making amends with him. Now it seems that I was overthinking it!"
There were also one or two family heads who said this, feeling very happy in their hearts.
In their opinion, it is good that Lu Changsheng is talented in reading, but he is not good at life and has no self-awareness. He will definitely not be able to go up in the future.
"However, he can put his hope in this championship, so he has some confidence!"
"pity--"
All the heads of the big families shook their heads and laughed.
"How can it be so easy to win the imperial examination? Now, it is no longer the past!"
"Yes! Otherwise, Lao Chen might have become a noble man now!" Everyone looked at Master Chen.
Here, he is definitely the most talented person.
