Chapter 187 Support
After hearing this, Jiang Che said, "This should be easy to write. What did Siwen write? It made Mr. angry."
Li Cheng shook his head and sighed: "At the beginning, he asked what is a teacher? What does it mean to respect a teacher?
A teacher’s duty is to teach, teach, and resolve doubts.
As a teacher, you should not treat students differently based on who is flattering, who is respectful, or who gives generous gifts to his teacher during holidays.
How can teachers gain respect from students if they cannot treat everyone equally? "
Jiang Che said: "Si Wen said it well. How many gentlemen these days are unworthy of their moral integrity? What's wrong? Your husband feels offended?"
Li Cheng glanced at Jiang Che and said, "What's good? Let's just say respect and flattery. How do you know whether others are sincere or fake? Isn't this the knowledge of how to deal with people? I'm too young to think about it, too impulsive, and too extreme in looking at problems. "Sir, I'm not offended. He is my father's friend. Be strict with him."
The young man Hequan reminded: "Sir, Commander Hua is here."
Li Chengle stopped his horse, turned around and looked behind him, and saw Huafu's motorcade approaching.
Hua Ruiming saw Li Cheng and Jiang Che and bowed his hands to them in greeting.
After Jiang Mansion declined the marriage with Hua Mansion, the Liu family did not want to see people from Jiang Mansion.
Hearing the greetings between his son and Jiang Che, he urged impatiently: "Brother Ming, it's getting late, we have to go in quickly."
Hua Ruiming cupped his hands towards Jiang Che and Li Cheng and said, "I'll go ahead and see you later."
Li Cheng and Jiang Che stepped aside and said, "See you later."
After the Huafu’s motorcade passed, the Xianwangfu’s motorcade followed.
Li Cheng and Jiang Che stepped forward to pay homage to the wise king.
The wise king raised the curtain and said, "You two are here too, let's go together."
At the entrance of the British Duke's Mansion, Lu Zixun and Lu Ziran greeted the guests at the door.
Seeing the carriage from Prince Xian’s palace, the two men rushed to greet him. After the two parties greeted each other, Prince Xian asked, “Where is Ziqin?”
Lu Zixun complained: "I don't know where to take a break. His crowning ceremony has burdened us here. I don't know what my grandfather thought. It was just a crowning ceremony and it was necessary to mobilize people like this. Back then, my crowning ceremony was the only one in the clan. An elder arrived."
Lu Ziran glanced at Lu Zixun and changed his words with a smile, "Fifth Master, please come from inside. Huanzhi, please come from Qingchuan."
Lu Zixun received Lu Ziran's look and realized that he had said too much, so he changed his words: "Your Majesty, Huanzhi, Qingchuan, Wende has just arrived."
Lu Ziran ordered: "You stay here and I will lead the prince and others in."
Several people followed Lu Ziran into the British Duke's Mansion. Lu Ziran explained as he walked: "Because my uncle was at the border and could not attend Ziqin's crowning ceremony, my grandparents were worried that Ziqin would feel uncomfortable, so they made a special trip. They set up the ceremony a few days ago. The ceiling, utensils, crowns and clothes were all prepared by my grandfather.”
The wise king nodded, "I know that my grandfather treated Ziqin very well."
Reaching a crossroads, Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, please come this way."
After receiving the letter, the British Duke led everyone to greet him. After greeting each other, he embraced the wise king and walked inside.
Li Cheng and Jiang Che looked at each other and slowed down.
Li Cheng asked: "Why don't you follow?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "It seems a bit unnecessary for us. Let's go and look for Qingyan."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Let's go this way, to Shuyingyuan."
The two of them turned into the laurel forest. They were no strangers to the British government. From here they passed through the laurel forest and then passed through a peach forest before arriving at Shuyingyuan.
“Do you think the eldest lady will come back today?” A voice came from the pavilion.
"Are you right? Today is a good day for Mr. Liu. Do you think the eldest lady will come back?" Another voice sounded.
“I heard from people in Rong’an Hall that the old lady didn’t want to hold a crown ceremony for the Sixth Master. She did it because the eldest lady hadn’t been back for a long time.”
"What's the meaning?"
“If the eldest lady comes back today, the Duke of the country will announce in public that he will be adopted under the name of the eldest lady.”
“Huh? Adoptive uncle?”
"Uh-huh."
“Then what if the eldest lady doesn’t come back?”
“If the eldest lady does not come back, the old lady will divorce the eldest lady on the grounds of filial piety.”
“In this case, it’s very difficult for the eldest lady to come back or not.”
“Who says it’s not the case? In this mansion, I think the eldest lady and the sixth master are the best..."
“Keep your voice down, for those of us who are servants, any master is fine, do you understand?”
Jiang Che and Li Cheng looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
The two of them left quickly and came out of Guishu Shulin. Li Cheng said: "Let's..."
Jiang Che waved his hand and said: "This is a household matter of the British government. We can't help. Let's go to Shuying Garden first, meet Qingyan, and tell him first so that he knows what's going on."
Li Cheng nodded, and the two of them quickly went to Shuyingyuan.
Dayong saw you two and was busy greeting you. The young man saw the opportunity and went into the house to report.
After a while, Lu Ziqin came out to welcome them. After bowing his hands in greeting, he let the two of them into the house.
Lu Ziqin poured tea for the two of them and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Che replied: "I saw you were not in the banquet hall, so I came here. Qingyan, Qingchuan and I just heard something, and we don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
Lu Ziqin put the teacup in front of the two of them and said, "How many years have we been friends? If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Jiang Che looked at Li Cheng and raised his eyebrows. "You tell it."
Li Cheng said: "You just have to say it."
Jiang Che stopped delaying and repeated what he heard.
Ru'an looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"
Lu Ziqin thought for a moment and said to Ru'an: "Go and tell your mother, she knows what to do."
Ru'an bowed and stepped back.
Lu Ziqin bowed his hands to Jiang Che and Li Cheng, "Thank you."
Jiang Che asked in confusion: "Why did the British father adopt Ziran into your grandma's name?"
Lv Ziqin smiled bitterly and did not hide it: "In order to inherit the title of the British Duke."
Li Cheng asked in confusion: "What? Aren't you the one who should inherit the title of the British Duke?"
Jiang Che glanced at Li Cheng and said, "Will Mrs. Yang be willing?"
Li Cheng nodded belatedly, "Yes!"
Jiang Che asked worriedly: "Are you prepared?"
Lv Ziqin shook his head and said, "I disdain that title. I just don't want my mother to be offended."
Jiang Che nodded, "I understand. Grandpa said that with your ability, sooner or later you will join the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister."
Lu Ziqin smiled, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister Jiang. It's almost time, you go over first."
Li Cheng and Jiang Che knew that Lu Ziqin had his own arrangements and did not bother them much, so they stood up and left. "Okay, we'll see you soon."
After the two left, Ruji asked: "Sir, what should we do if the old lady makes trouble in public?"
Lu Ziqin said calmly: "There are few people who have nothing to do and are unworthy of their children and grandchildren, so they are expelled from their homes?"
Ruji's eyes lit up, "Yes. I understand, little one."
"Sir, Manager Du has sent someone to urge him. He said that the auspicious time is coming. Please come over." Dayong came in and reported.
Lu Ziqin nodded, "I understand."
Lu Ziqin took a few boys to the main hall.
Du Bin was standing at the entrance of the corridor waiting. When he saw Lu Ziqin approaching, he greeted him with a smile, "Sixth Master, please follow me."
Lv Ziqin nodded, "We have Uncle Lao Du."
Du Bin looked at the polite Lu Ziqin and sighed inwardly, wondering what the Duke was thinking. How could he choose an uncle if he didn't choose such a good child?
Lu Ziqin looked at Du Bin, who was stunned, and shouted: "Du Bo, let's go over."
Du Bin came back to his senses and said, "Okay, okay, let's get over it."
Du Bin led Lu Ziqin to the steps of the main hall and said, "Master Six is waiting here."
Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "Okay!"
As soon as Lu Ziqin finished speaking, he saw the servants of the concierge rushing over, leaning towards Du Bin and saying: "Manager Du, hurry up and report to the Duke, the holy driver has arrived at Cuiping Road."
After hearing this, Du Bin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "Set up the incense case, open the middle door, and prepare to receive the driver."
The servants went to prepare immediately.
Du Bin went to report to the Duke of Guo. As he walked up the steps, he said to Lu Ziqin: "Master Six, go to the gate to pick up the Holy Master first."
The British Duke hurriedly led everyone to the gate. The advance guard was already standing solemnly around the Duke's Mansion.
When the emperor's dragon chariot stopped at the gate, everyone knelt down to greet the emperor. The emperor got down from the dragon chariot and said: "Everyone loves you. I heard that Ziqin was holding a crown ceremony today, so I came over to join in the fun. Isn't it an auspicious time? ?”
The British Duke and Lu Ziqin knelt down to thank him. The British Duke bowed and said, "It's not a bad time to return to the Emperor. Your Majesty came just in time. Your Majesty, please!"
The emperor stepped into the Duke's Mansion, and everyone followed behind him.
The emperor's general Lu Ziqin called to his side and asked: "Who will crown you?"
Lu Ziqin shook his head, leaned forward and said, "Back to the emperor, I don't know that everything today is arranged by my grandfather."
The emperor nodded and said, "I will crown you in a moment."
Lu Ziqin wanted to kneel down to thank him, but the emperor caught him and said, "No need to be formal."
Due to the arrival of the emperor, the original plan was disrupted and the crowning ceremony became more solemn. After the emperor personally crowned Lu Ziqin, he sat for a while before driving back to the palace.
The British Duke took everyone to the gate to see him off. When the emperor's dragon chariot left, the guests who were watching the ceremony took their leave one after another.
Mrs. Yang returned to Rongan Hall and leaned on the soft couch without saying a word.
Your Majesty, everyone stood by the side with their eyes and noses in mind. They were all very alert, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become the old lady’s punching bag.
Mrs. Li Er sent the guests away and came to Rongan Hall in a hurry. When she saw Mrs. Yang when she entered the door, she started to complain: "Mother, tell me about her son's crowning ceremony. She sat there drinking tea and talking like a guest.
I have been busy from 9 o'clock to now, and I have no time to spare. I am so busy. I wasn't that tired from the crowning ceremony between Zi Ran and Zixun. I don’t know, I thought it was my son’s crowning ceremony. "
Mrs. Yang looked at Mrs. Li, sat up and asked, "Have all the guests sent away?"
Mrs. Li sat down on the soft couch, "Everyone else has left. The fifth master, my aunt, the master, and Zi... Ziqin and his father are talking in the study."
Old Madam Yang sighed and looked up at Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang nodded and took the maid and her mother-in-law down.
Seeing the servants retreating, Mrs. Li asked softly: "Mother, why is the emperor here today? Father invited the emperor?"
Mrs. Mrs. Yang glanced at Mrs. Li, frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Can you use your brain? Who dares to issue a post to the emperor when organizing a crown ceremony for their children?"
Mrs. Li lowered her head and whispered: "Then why did the emperor come to our house today?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Yang became very angry. But that person was the emperor, someone she didn't dare to offend. Even if she was upset, she could only endure it and didn't even dare to complain.
"Why? Support that evil obstacle!" Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth and picked up the tea cup angrily.
“So, the matter of Ziran’s adoption cannot be mentioned today, right?” asked Li.
Mrs. Yang took two sips of tea, looked at Mrs. Li and asked, "Today, the emperor came to crown the evildoer, and pushed the Duke's mansion to the top of the waves, letting everyone in the capital look at us. In the eyes of this joint, How to mention it?”
Li asked worriedly: "What should we do? Just forget about Ziran's adoption?"
Mrs. Yang snorted coldly, "Forget it? Impossible! The Duke's Mansion must belong to Ziran. You can't even hope to get the slightest bit of that evil."
Hearing Mrs. Yang's answer, Mr. Li put down the stone hanging from his heart. He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes and said, "It is Ziran's blessing that Ziran has a mother who has plans for him. My daughter-in-law would like to thank her mother on Ziran's behalf!"
Mrs. Yang patted Mrs. Li's hand and said, "Thank you for what? Ziran is Lao Shen's grandson. If Lao Shen doesn't plan for him, who will he plan for?"
“Second aunt, the second lady and the old lady are talking in the house.”
Mrs. Yang looked at the door and asked in a loud voice, "Zi Qiu is here? Come in quickly."
Mrs. Yang turned to look at Mrs. Li, "Don't worry about this. I have my own plans. You can take care of the affairs in the house."
Li Shifushen said: "Thank you mother, my daughter-in-law will obey her mother's instructions."
Mother Wang lifted the curtain, bent her knees and said, "Second aunt, grandma, please come."
Lv Ziqiu entered the house and paid homage to Mrs. Yang.
Ms. Li looked at the door and asked, "Are you alone? Where is your mother-in-law? Did you let her go back alone?"
"She went back first and asked me to stay and wait for Brother Ming." Lu Ziqiu sat next to Mrs. Yang and casually returned to the Li family.
Mrs. Li lowered her face and reprimanded: "How many years have you been married into the Hua Mansion? Why are you still saying that Brother Ming is older than Brother Ming? Husband and wife should respect each other as guests. Brother Ming is your husband, you must respect him!" "
Being lectured by Li, Lu Ziqiu pursed her lips in displeasure, "My mother also said that we should respect each other as guests. If he respects me, I will naturally respect him. He doesn't see me in his eyes, but I still respect him, but I'm not that mean."
"you…"
“Okay, okay, Ziqiu comes back once in a while, can’t you say something nice?” Mrs. Yang glanced at Mrs. Li.
After speaking, Mrs. Yang handed a plate of almond cake to Lu Ziqiu, "Have a try, the kitchen made it this morning."
Mr. Li looked at her grandfather and grandson and hesitated to speak.
Lu Ziqiu reached out and took a piece of almond cake and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, "Yeah, it's my favorite taste, thank you grandma."
Lu Ziqiu held the almond cake in his mouth and nodded vaguely to Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang handed the tea cup to Lu Ziqiu and said with a smile: "Slow down, be careful not to choke. If you like it, take some back with you when you go back later."
Lu Ziqiu thanked Mrs. Yang: "Thank you, grandma. Grandma loves Ziqiu the most."
Mrs. Yang smiled and raised her hand, "Sit down, Ziqiu. You don't have to be polite when you come to grandma's place. You are such a sensible child, but you scold her to outsiders all day long. How can you be such a girl?"
