Chapter 136 The Flower Peacock Gone Next Door
Su Shou was taken aback by her, and before she could refute, Mrs. Xiangjiang had already brought Mrs. Lu and her son in.

"My lord, madam."

Jiang Mei is Su Shou's subordinate, Mrs. Jiang's etiquette must be complete.After seeing the ceremony, she came up to Mrs. Lu. She and Mrs. Xu had met each other, and then she smiled and called Lu Ling to her: "This is Lu Ling, the dog. Ling'er, hurry up and pay a visit to Master Su."

Lu Ling saw that Su Wei was not present, and he was not in a hurry to guess her whereabouts, so he stepped forward in a calm manner, and saluted: "Xiaosheng Lu Ling, I pay my respects to Mr. Su, Mrs. Su."

In all honesty, Lu Ling is handsome, well-mannered, and a man of grace, but because Su Wei made it clear that he did not agree with the marriage, Xu looked at him as normal at this time.After the jaws had responded, he arranged seats and called for tea.

Su Shou was not happy to see Mrs. Jiang coming, but when he saw Mrs. Lu's mother and son, why didn't he understand?How could Mrs. Xu not know?Isn't it clear that they made an appointment to meet up!

With this little trick, I still want to hide it from him.

However, he only thought that it was Xu who sent them to persuade him to agree to the marriage. Even if he didn't want to be led by the nose, he felt even more upset, but he couldn't help it.

He looked up at Lu Ling, and saw that the young man was handsome and upright, with high spirits, he was better than his father, and he didn't have any obscene air that was used to making money.

Since the children's marriages are ordered by their parents, although Su Shou doesn't like the style of the Lu family, he doesn't need to embarrass the younger generation.He also pretended not to know what they were doing, and asked Mrs. Jiang: "Did Chongshan not come out?"

Chongshan is Jiang Mei's epigraph.Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded: "He made an appointment to play chess with Mr. Lu today, and I also invited Mrs. Lu to enjoy the flowers. Mr. Lu wrote a good article, and the academicians of the Imperial Academy praised his talent greatly. Because I wrote a new poem recently, I wanted a picture to match it, so I went with us to enjoy the flowers."

After she finished speaking, she winked at Lu Ling: "Su Shaoqing has profound knowledge and is the favorite student of Mr. Zhang Ge. Since Mr. Lu brought the article, why don't you ask Su Shaoqing for advice?"

Lu Ling nodded, and immediately handed over the article with both hands: "I am not talented, please teach me."

Su Shou slightly curled his lips: "I am an official in the same dynasty as Mr. Lu, how dare I point out Mr. Lu's articles at will? This move is really a shame."

Lu Ling's expression was calm: "Although my father has the same official position as Lord Shaoqing, my father's writing tends to be conservative. Lord Shaoqing's writing is calm but not rigid, clear and solemn. It is not unreasonable that the four "Red Jade Fu" is still being praised by the princes of the South and the North. It is more than enough to guide the young students."

Lu Ling will not fight uncertain battles. The Su family is stronger than the Lu family in all aspects, and it is obvious that the Lu family still needs Su Shou. Based on the principle of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, he has carefully found Su Shou's articles these days. After reading it, a confident person like him could not help but be convinced by Su Shou after reading it, so he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He had such a conversation, and it was passable.

Su Shou replied with a light smile: "It's hard for you to remember the crude work many years ago."

He has been an official for many years, and he will not be bought by him with a few flattering words, but it would be a bit disgraceful not to accept the articles he handed over after talking here.

He stretched out his hand to take the scroll, unfolded it, and saw a piece of neat and beautiful regular script, which turned out to be impeccable "Taige style". At his age, he could complete such a single stroke...

Su Shou looked up at him, then continued to lower his head.

It's Shouchang Fu, which uses Wing Chun to write about the world. The whole Fu is skillful and sharp, and it's actually worthy of his arrogance!

Although Su Shou has written a lot of stereotyped essays in recent years, he couldn't help admiring this literary talent in his heart at this time.

However, it's not like he hasn't seen talented young people before. He himself came here like this, and it's not enough to shake his determination.

He closed the volume and said: "Young Master Su has a brilliant literary talent and profound writing skills, and he has indeed a bright future."

After finishing speaking, he returned the article to him.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu glanced at Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang's heart was pounding too. Judging from Xu's intention yesterday, it was clearly intentional, but why was Su Shou's answer so perfunctory?
The article that Lu Ling wrote must be of a certain level, but the article of a young scholar must not be completely flawless. They originally wanted to make Lu Ling perform well by asking Su Shou to raise opinions. But Su Shou blindly praised, didn't this block the conversation?
Could it be that even though Mrs. Xu has no objection to this marriage, Su Shou is still not satisfied with Lu Ling being the husband-in-law of his eldest daughter?

But as far as the Lu family is concerned, the biggest bargaining chip to win this marriage is only Lu Ling's talent.

Then Lu Ling has to act quickly!

Madam Lu and Madam Jiang looked at Lu Ling together.

Lu Ling took his time and said, "It's a real honor for my humble work to be recognized by adults. I hope that when adults take time off in the future, I can serve the brush and ink from the side, so that I can admire your literary talents."

He also said: "I am not talented. I have accidentally acquired the small ability to identify handwriting because of hard work these years. I have not made any mistakes so far. My lord is working in Dali Temple, and I often have cases on hand. If it is useful, I will help Xiaosheng." may be summoned at any time."

Xu was dumbfounded.

Ordinary young people have already restrained themselves in embarrassment at this time, why would they take the initiative to attack?
Regardless of whether it is thick-skinned or not, it is obvious that this is the way in officialdom!
She has met a lot of people who can do things, but this is the first time she has seen such a young man who can do things!
She turned her head to look at Su Shou, Su Shou was holding tea in his hand, and seemed to be in a trance for a moment.

In the courtyard next door, Yang You saw Su Luo walking out of the Zen courtyard, and was about to go up to greet her, when Mrs. Jiang and his party entered their courtyard.

Staring at Lu Ling until he entered the room, he came back and told Han Mo: "It was Miss Su's family who went next door. Miss Su also came out just now, but for some reason, she talked with Miss Su in the madam's teahouse last time." That Young Master Lu went in just now."

Han Mo glanced at him: "Which family's Mr. Lu?"

"Lu Ling, the son of Lu Pei, the doctor of Guanglu Temple."

Since I mentioned it to Han Mo last time, Yang You would of course inquire about it when he turned around. This is a habit he has developed over the years. Otherwise, how could Han Mo get the information he wanted at any time over the years?How could he be promoted as the chief guard around him?

"What is he doing here?" Han Mo was puzzled, "Do you really know each other?"

"It should be acquaintance. I just heard that the leader is the wife of Jiang Mei, the head of Dali Temple. Jiang Mei and Su Shou have a very good personal relationship."

Having said that, Yang You moved closer again, gossiping and said, "That Lu Ling is very neatly dressed today, and he is still obsessed with the article. He doesn't know what to do. Anyway, he was dressed like a peacock, and he just passed by." The girls are still staring at him."
