Stepmother Shaoguang

Chi Zhifu smiled obsequiously: "General Lu loves his wife and children, and I admire you. Is this garden comfortable to live in?"

Lu Xiaowen had nothing to dislike, so he nodded.

"That's good. I found a team of craftsmen to renovate it a month before the next official. This garden looks much more elegant than before."

Chi Zhifu rubbed his hands secretly, seeing that Lu Xiaowen didn't express anything, he thought about how to please him so that it would work.

He was afraid that he didn't have a good relationship with this person, and if this person went back and handed a booklet to refer to himself, then he would suffer.

Chi Zhifu returned to his magistrate's mansion. Although it was built by the imperial court according to the regulations, he also repaired and expanded a lot later, and the money spent was naturally filial to some wealthy households and imperial merchants in Jinling. .

He was meditating while lying on the grand teacher's chair. Aunt Zhen lifted the pearl curtain and came in. The pearl curtain collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"Master, what's bothering you?"

Aunt Zhen was gentle and considerate, and moved a low stool to sit beside him, with her upper body leaning against Chi Zhifu's chest.

Chi Zhifu's favorite in the mansion is this Aunt Zhen. Although she came out of the Firework Alley, she followed the then Master Chi before receiving the guests. She is a few years younger than the eldest girl in the mansion. .

Chi Zhifu is lustful and likes money. Aunt Zhen came out of Cong Hualou, and she knows how to coax this kind of person best, so Chi Zhifu was so coaxed by her that his heart melted, and he stayed with her every day. She picked a place with good geomantic omen, and the courtyard was more beautifully built than the main house.

Because of the word "Zhen" in her name, she even named the courtyard Zhenyuan herself. This favor can be said to last forever.

Chi Zhifu stroked her smooth hair, sniffed the aroma of hair oil on her head, felt much better, and said with satisfaction: "It's Zhen Zhen'er who is careful, I'm thinking about how to make friends with a man from Beijing. big shot."

Aunt Zhen blinked her eyes: "How old is an official? You need our master to bother you so much."

"That's the celebrity in front of the saint, Zhen Zhen'er, and my official position is more than a star and a half higher than your master."

Chi Zhifu is over sixty years old, and sometimes he can't help being jealous of young people: "And he is a handsome man, the appearance you young women like most."

Aunt Zhen pursed her red lips, and threw herself on Chi Zhifu: "What, I only have Master in my heart, no matter how good the others are, how can I have Master to treat me well?"

After all, he cast a winking look at Chi Zhifu.

With the beautiful woman in his arms, Chi Zhifu, who received the hint, felt boundless love for spring in his heart, and felt that he was about to move at this moment, so he didn't have the heart to think about other things.

Backing away a little affectionately, Aunt Zhen winked and gave Chi Zhifu an idea with a smile: "If the master really wants to win over this man, you might as well think about what he values ​​most?"

How could Zhifu Chi know what Lu Xiaowen likes?
Chi Zhifu arranged a grand reception banquet, which was filled with famous people in Jinling, and the banquet was extremely luxurious.

But in the face of jade plate delicacies, Lu Xiaowen's overtures to him were only polite, not pleasantly surprised.

At the banquet, two beautiful maids were arranged for him to pour wine, and he didn't give each other a look.

After the breakup, Chi Zhifu thought about sending a generous gift to Lu Xiaowen. Lu Xiaowen didn't even read the long gift list, so he returned it and said, "You don't get rewarded for nothing."

Chi Zhifu was so angry that he scolded the other party for not eating.

After some inquiries, he found out that Lu Xiaowen's son was studying at the government school, so he changed into an official robe, and went to the government school with professors, instructors and others in a grandiose manner.

The students of the prefecture school were in class, and the corridors were empty.

He had already found out that Lu Mingyan was borrowing from Class C and Three, but he didn't want to be too obvious, so he stopped outside each classroom in the name of inspection.

"This is Class C and Three?" Chi Zhifu stroked his beard and said with a satisfied expression when he heard the voice of a teacher teaching from inside.

"Yes, my lord, there are students from Class C and Three sitting here."

"Oh? I see...why is there such a small one? Still sitting at the end?"

At this moment, he didn't know that it was Lu Mingyan, so he just asked curiously.

The officials of the government school took a closer look, oh, it's Lu, who is on loan.

So he smiled and explained: "This is a relative of Xueguan Qi who is temporarily studying at the government school. The seat is already full, so I haven't rescheduled it."

It happened that Xueguan Qi was teaching a class inside, so you don't have any objections if you don't see him?

They think it's okay.

"Borrowed?"

Chi Zhifu narrowed his eyes, trying to see the other person's face clearly.As he got older, he couldn't see clearly.

"Student Lu is not bad. It would be great if I were a student of my government school."

An academic officer said regretfully.

"Surname Lu?" Chi Zhifu felt like he had nowhere to go.

"Yes, my family is from the capital, and my parents brought them to Jinling to escape the summer heat."

I found the right person, Chi Zhifu pretended to be serious and said: "What's the matter? He is so young, but he sits at the back, how can he show the demeanor of our Jinling school? Just because he is a borrower, he doesn't care about it." ?”

Xueguan Zheng said with shame on his face: "What the magistrate said is that I am the student officer of Class C and Three, and I will arrange a good position for Lu student in a while."

"Not only do you need a good location, but you also need to be more considerate and pay more attention to people! Forget it, lest you don't pay attention and make this mistake again, if any student who borrows has any problems, you must come to the government office and return to the official!"

Chi Zhifu ordered.

Everyone in the school was at a loss: did the prefect take some wrong medicine, came to visit suddenly, and suddenly paid so much attention to a borrower?
"Ahem!" Knowing what they were thinking, Chi Zhifu said seriously, "Last year, the prefectural school lost many students who should have studied in Jinling prefecture, don't you remember? They were all snatched away by the neighboring county!"

The source of students is also very important to the magistrate, so it is true that Chi Zhifu will be angry.

Everyone slandered in their hearts: Isn't that why you gave the subsidy that should have been given to the government school to repair the library and allocated to poor and outstanding students?People can go to other places to go to school for free, so they want to come to you?
It's just that no one dared to speak out, only dared to complain in their hearts.

Lu Mingyan had been in the last row for two weeks, and was suddenly transferred to the front row by Zheng Xueguan, sitting with Kong Wen'an.

Zheng Xueguan's attitude towards Lu Mingyan became bad because of the embarrassment of the borrower in front of Chi Zhifu and other senior officials.

He kept a dark face.

"Did you mess with him?" Hua Shaotang was sitting behind Lu Mingyan, obliquely behind Kong Wenan.

"No." Lu Mingyan was also very confused.

"Come on, if Classmate Lu provokes him, will he move someone else's place? I think it's his wife who scolded him!"

Hua Shaotang's tablemate was giggling, glad that Lu Mingyan had moved here, so he could ask questions anytime.

Originally, if Kong Wenan asked, he might not be able to answer, and he was not willing to ask him.
