Stepmother Shaoguang

Chapter 128 Knowing the Identity
"You know that Master Chi Zhifu came to study at the government today, right? All the school officials who didn't have classes went to meet him."

Hua Shaotang held a braised chicken neck in his hand, and gnawed loudly, while gesturing to his two partners with his eyes.

"do not know."

Lu Mingyan didn't know the magistrate, so how could he care about him.

"He scolded Xueguan Zheng this afternoon." Hua Shaotang snorted twice, very happy, "It must be because of Xueguan Zheng's stinky face."

Kong Wen'an couldn't help but despise him: "Dirty hands, don't touch my shoulder."

"Actually, Zhifu Chi is not a good official. Let me tell you, last year he wanted to buy a piece of calligraphy by a famous artist. He didn't want to pay for it himself, so he asked my father and Song Fuer's father to have dinner together. , and he got enough money to buy calligraphy.”

Hua Shaotang said angrily: "When my father came back, he sighed and gave away several thousand taels of silver for a meal, saying that since Jinling's surname was late, my father's family property was all gone. You said that Jinling is such a precious place, why didn't you come? A prince or something, does he dare to be so arrogant?"

Lu Mingyan silently said in his heart that he dared, you see how he bribed his father, he chased him to the government school.

"The sage also knows that Jinling is a good place, so he will definitely not give it to the enfeoffment."

"Your father is so powerful, to buy this garden, he must be a third-rank official in Beijing, right? Or he must be very rich."

Hua Shaotang sighed, "It's fine if you're an official, but if you're just a businessman, you can see my family and the Song family. Chi Zhifu will have to visit your father sooner or later."

Adu listened to these topics discussed by the young masters, sweating, and silently closed the doors and windows, this one really dared to speak.

Chi Zhifu is also an official of the court, isn't he?Can you talk like that?

"His three-year term has expired, why hasn't he been transferred, or has someone impeached him?"

Generally speaking, after serving in the local government for three years, if someone exposes it during the evaluation and assessment, he will be transferred or demoted.

"My father said," Hua Shaotang scratched his head, "The prefect Chi is just greedy for money, so it's easy to get rid of, and the next prefect may not be able to say anything!"

When he finished his madness and returned to his home, Mr. Hua sat in the main room smoking snuff with a sad face.

This is a novelty that has only been available in recent years, and only a few masters will smoke it for fun.

As soon as he saw his son coming back wrinkled, he called out: "Why did you come back like this? Come here! Did you get into a fight?"

Hua Shaotang was wronged and shouted, "I'm going to learn how to ride a horse!"

Master Hua put down the cigarette bottle in his hand heavily, and glared at him: "I don't know you yet? When did you work so hard?"

"Really, Dad!"

"Jinling is such a big place, and the racecourse is outside the city, who went with you?" Master Hua asked, he was in a normal mood today, if this kid learned to lie, he would never let him go lightly.

"I went to a classmate's house." Hua Shaotang pouted, and his father became more and more disgusted, "Didn't I tell you that there is a very powerful borrower in the class?"

"What? Whose house can run horses?" Mr. Hua's eyes were about to fall off, and he was so angry that he blew his beard, "Can you use your brain if you are talking nonsense, and see where we can run horses at our house?"

Can a house where a borrower lives can run horses?Do you live in the mountains?
"Really!" He insisted on proving it, so he said, "It's in the garden where you said King Wu lived before, that's their home!"

Master Hua shook his hand, feeling even more that his son was lying.

He patted his son on the head and said angrily: "If your classmate can live there, your father and I can live in the palace."

Hua Shaotang curled his lips aggrievedly, pouting high.

He said, "Father, the magistrate came to study at the government late today."

Master Hua was startled: "He is looking for you? Why is he looking for you?"

"He didn't look for me."

Master Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed again: "I didn't find you, so what did you say to me?"

"He saw my classmate sitting at the back, scolded Xueguan Zheng, and asked him to move him to the front."

"What's your classmate's background?" Master Hua looked constipated, "It's not a good thing to be targeted by Zhifu Chi, and you're a money-loser."

Knowing that there are more people to feed Chi Zhifu's appetite, Master Hua is in a good mood: "Okay, Dad will tell you about the garden, and next time you lie, you must be more down-to-earth. Do you know that the garden was given to the big man in the capital by a saint?" General's?"

"Which general?" Hua Shaotang was taken aback.

"It's General Lu, who calls out every day to learn from others and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, don't you know?"

The nervous Hua Shaotang opened his mouth and was stunned. He wanted to say, Lu Mingyan's surname is Lu!

After all, he still didn't say anything, looking at his father's smiling face, he decided to ask clearly the next day!
When he came to the school the next day, Lu Mingyan saw Hua Shaotang staring at him resentfully, hesitating to speak.

It's just that Zheng Xueguan came in quickly, without giving him a chance to speak.

It was not until lunch later, when the three of them were in the cafeteria, that Hua Shaotang had the opportunity to ask him mysteriously: "Brother, Xiao Mingyan, why are you hiding your identity from me?"

"What?" Lu Mingyan took a sip of the soup, looked at him and asked.

"Your surname is Lu, is your father's surname also Lu?" Hua Shaotang held back for a long time, and let out this sentence, even touching it quietly.

".if not?"

Lu Mingyan felt that he was somewhat careless.

"You are the son of General Lu! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hua Shaotang was heartbroken, "I have been to your house so many times! Once! I haven't visited your parents once, what a pity!"

His tone was painful: "You know how much I admire General Lu's demeanor? Well, of course you don't understand."

Before school was over, Hua Shaotang became excited. This was Senior Qi's class. He frowned slightly as he watched Hua Shaotang pull Lu Mingyan and Kong Wenan in front of him to talk, and they obviously didn't listen to what he was saying.

So he held up the book, went around behind him, and threw a book down.

"Ouch!" Hua Shaotang was caught off guard by a stick, covered his head, saw that it was Senior Officer Qi, and immediately became honest.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, why? We Hua classmates can't help but discuss where to go?"

Hua Shaotang's eyes lit up, and after Qi Xueguan walked away, he whispered to Lu Mingyan quietly: "Mid-Autumn School is on holiday, let's go play together? I have a place, I'm sure you will find it fun!"

Lu Mingyan was unwilling, she still wanted to go home and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her parents and sister.

"I didn't say I want you to come out without eating, let's go after eating." Hua Shaotang continued to force, "Besides, you left your father and your mother alone, your father must be happy."

After hearing this, Lu Mingyan reluctantly agreed.

It's rare to go out, there is no one else at home.Whose child wants to be like him, thinking about creating opportunities for his parents?
There is also a younger sister in the mansion who is not a big deal to watch the excitement, and he has to think about how to take her away, so that the two of them can have a chance to be alone.
