Chapter 218 Night View
When Gong Yijue heard Yu Qiancui's name, his fingers trembled slightly as he sat down.
Lu Zhen observed very carefully.
Si Mo was indeed reliable enough. Lu Ze was just a little tired, so he quickly acted as an encyclopedia and helped him solve his own problems.
It's hard for Si Mo to smell that this tea is Sanfeng Maojian from Northern Chu, an aged tea.
It smells a little rotten.
Lan A doesn't like drinking tea. Who would have thought that such a person actually likes drinking dairy products.
Therefore, the things in his house, especially tea, were rarely fresh.
This was probably the only interesting thing Lu Zhe had observed about his so-called uncle.
The Gongyi family of Northern Chu was indeed a wealthy and powerful family, but Lu Zhe had never heard of such a person as Gong Yijue.
The head of the Gongyi family is a young man. The strength of this family is that everyone in the family is good at dealing with people.
In the true sense, officials and businessmen are one family.
The current head of the family is well-mannered and won the third place in the imperial examination at a young age.
Note that the imperial examination system of Northern Chu was not much different from that of the Yuan Dynasty.
It's just a little more stringent for the top three.
The top scholar in the same year as Gong Yishu was not as knowledgeable as Gong Yishu, who was the third place.
Because the position of Tanhua in Northern Chu must be obtained by the most handsome one among the top three, what level of appearance did Gong Yishu have at that time?
His elegant and gentle temperament made all the unmarried ladies in Northern Chu obsessed with him.
With a thin waist and fair hair, and a wealth of knowledge of poetry and literature, it is difficult to associate such a person with a dishonest businessman.
Unfortunately, Gong Yishu's younger brother Gong Yizou, who was born to the same mother as Gong Er, was a big profiteer who wanted to take all the money of the four countries into his own pocket!
Since then, the Gongyi family has become the leader of the four major families in the Northern Chu Imperial City because of its wealth and power.
Why is this Gong Yijue in front of me related to the Gong Yi family?
It's really nice to sit back and enjoy the coolness under a big tree!
Soon, Si Mo brought the brewed tea. The whole room was filled with the aroma of tea, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
"Uncle, please chat with Mr. Jue first!" Lu Zhe was not interested in listening to their chatter. "I just came back and I'm covered in dust. I'll leave now!"
As he said this, he glanced at Gong Yijue with a smile on his face:
"I think Mr. Jue must be very smart and good at using strategies. I hope you can share more of my uncle's worries, so that your wisdom will be worthwhile."
Lu Zhe then left the place.
Gong Yijue looked at that meaningful look and felt a little angry for a moment, but he quickly comforted himself.
When you live under someone else's roof, you can't be too casual.
"Mr. Jue, my nephew has a bad temper. You won't be angry, right?" Lan A carefully observed every expression on Gong Yi Jue's face.
There was no other meaning in his tone.
Gong Yijue thought that Lan A really valued him, and for a moment he was a little confused:
"I heard that your nephew was originally adopted by someone in Yuan State?"
Lan's expression remained unchanged, but her pupils became darker:
"Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Jue also knew something about my virtuous nephew's background..."
Who dares to ask about his people so casually?
Lan A was unhappy in her heart, but there was not even the slightest sign of it on her face.
Gong Yijue hadn't reacted yet and thought Lan A was interested in his past:
"Master Wuzhu, you must be careful of this nephew beside you. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives and is delusional..."
In just a moment, a sword was unsheathed.
The sword blade and scabbard clashed with each other, making a long whooshing sound, and in the blink of an eye it was placed on Gong Yijue's neck.
Gong Yijue was so frightened that he shut up at that moment.
"Mr. Jue, please watch your words." Lan A said calmly, "Not just anyone can talk about the descendants of my Lan family!"
Gong Yijue kept breaking out in a cold sweat. This sword was extremely cold and it was likely that it had taken the lives of many people.
He couldn't figure out what Lan A was like, so he stopped talking:
"I am sorry for saying too much. Please forgive me, Lan Wu."
Lan A put on a fake smile:
"That's true. When people get along with each other, there is more or less a period of adjustment."
…
As soon as Lu Zhe came out after washing up, he met someone.
His adopted brother.
Just like that in front of him.
"Fu Yun!" Lu Zhe said in a low voice, and then quickly walked over.
He signaled with his eyes to the Si Yan people around him to radiate outward quickly and search for any spies nearby.
Yun Fuzhi said with a relaxed expression: "When I came, there were not many people here. I came with the princess, so don't worry."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
I encountered it several times.
"Have you ever sent any letters to the Yun family?" Lu Zhe was almost irritated by his nominal elder brother.
The last time he went to see Yun Ju'an, Yun Ju'an specifically mentioned this matter.
How could Lu Zhe dare to say that he and Yun Fuzhi had already met?
It's just that when the two met for the first time, they were indeed not very friendly.
The two of them didn't communicate much before. When they bumped into each other for the first time, Yun Fuzhi was so angry that he almost lost his mind and was burning with rage.
Lu Zhe was surprisingly so close to Lan A.
This is simply recognizing a thief as your father!
Lu Zhe was also afraid that Yun Fuzhi would make a mistake, so he quickly asked someone to ask him out. After the two had a good talk, they discovered that Yun Fuzhi actually had such an emotionless plan.
"You have to know that Dad died to protect you!" It was impossible for Yun Fuzhi not to dislike Lu Zhe before.
However, no matter how much he hated him, Lu Zhe was originally the young master of the Yun family and his adopted brother. As such, their relationship should be closer than that of others.
The two of them cleared up their misunderstandings after their first meeting and got connected.
Yun Fuzhi had thought about sending a letter to the Yun family, but he was afraid of putting the Yun family in danger, so he never took any action:
"I...you...have you found out about the situation of Yuan Guoyun family recently?"
Lu Zhe was also unwilling to go along with Yun Fuzhizi because people outside said that the risk was too great.
"Come in and talk!"
Lu Zhe brought Yun Fuzhi in.
If it weren't for his adoptive father's love for him, he wouldn't feel like he owed the Yun family this, wasting time and effort for nothing!
"I heard that the Duke of the Yun family submitted his resignation to Emperor Yuan. I don't know whether he has been approved or not, but it is almost the end of the year, and the second and third masters of the Yun family are resting at home. Duke Yun has always been depressed. If he stays alone, I am afraid he will be ill for a long time..."
Lu Zhe's speculation made sense, after all, the Yun family was such a big family.
In the past two years, some people left, some dispersed, and some died.
Whenever he thought of Yun Huai falling in front of him and how he was powerless to do anything, Lu Zhe hated himself for the rest of his life!
Everyone felt that the Yun family was declining, and there were many people who wanted to secretly squeeze out the Yun family.
However, all of these were repelled one by one by the people Yun Zhuan had planted in the Yuan Kingdom.
