The rebirth of the Republic of China

The next day Lu Yihua woke up early, washed up and went to the restaurant in the main courtyard with Liu Sheng for dinner. After sitting down for a while, the rest of the people also arrived.Several brothers and sisters sat and chatted with their families, mainly talking about yesterday's birthday banquet.At this moment, Mr. Lu led Uncle Fang downstairs, looked over at a glance, saw that his children had arrived, and nodded in a good mood.

When these people were eating dinner quietly, Lu Han discussed with her husband and was about to leave when he saw Mr. Lu glanced at the dining table. Puzzled, Lu Han paused halfway and sat back down.

After Mr. Lu took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, everyone heard him say: "Since you are all back, don't rush to leave. An Ansheng will stay at home for a few days, and I have something to announce. You are still tired today. Forget it, take good care of your spirits, and we will have a family dinner tomorrow night."

Lu Yihua's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at his father.

Sure enough, Mr. Lu announced the matter of Lu Yihua and Liu Sheng next.Except for Lu Chengan who knew about this beforehand, everyone else was obviously shocked.Lu Yihua didn't care, and thanked his father with Liu Sheng with a smile, and joked that Liu Sheng also called him father, and that was the end.

On the morning of the family banquet, Liu Sheng and Lu Yihua were called to the garden by Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu liked to tend flowers and plants when he was old. Liu Sheng was influenced by his father and grandfather when he was a child. However, I still haven't forgotten all the skills in the world. When talking about flowers and birds with Mr. Lu, the old and the young complement each other perfectly.

But Lu Yihua who was standing beside him didn't think so, because he couldn't understand these flowers, plants, birds and fish at all.Before going abroad, Lu Yihua was taught by his own father, but that only made him good at calligraphy and painting, he didn't understand these pleasant things.

This garden was built by Mr. Lu himself when he moved, and it is very beautifully arranged. There is a pavilion made of stone pillars in the corner of the garden. The old man was pulling Liu Sheng to discuss with great interest.

Lu Yihua didn't understand these things, and felt bored after listening to it, but he didn't want to leave first, and felt bitter after drinking tea, so he stretched out his hand and pulled a few petals from a pot of flowers, and Mr. Lu immediately quit: "You Tell me how old you are, how can you do all these things that can't be put on the stage?!"

"Why can't I get on the stage?" Lu Yihua retorted subconsciously, and realized something was wrong after finishing speaking. He looked at Mr. Lu's complexion that was turning black, and then at the petals that had been torn into pieces by him. He only apologized and said, "I Isn’t this boring, and it’s not that you don’t know that I really don’t understand these things, instead of trying to scare you old man here, you might as well let me go back and write more words!”

Old man Lu hates iron but not steel: "You say you can't learn if you don't understand? You have to have nothing to do for half a year, and you really plan to spend half a year in the rest of the day?"

"Father." Lu Yihua put on a business-like look, and Mr. Lu frowned, only to hear him say, "I've been working so hard for several years without a break, and you just have the heart to let your son Tired of going home?"

Grandpa Lu choked for a moment, then realized that his son's laziness could not be encouraged, and was about to teach him a lesson, when he saw a non-commissioned officer in military uniform walking over from the archway leading to the outside of the garden.

"Father, there may be something, I'll go and see." Lu Yihua said, throwing down the few petals in his hand.

Lu Yihua didn't only need two people when he came back this time, he also brought a guard battalion. These people were arranged by him in the yard closest to him. If there is nothing to do, they usually just take charge of guards outside his yard. He doesn't go out, and these people rarely follow him closely.

Mr. Lu obviously knew this too, he nodded to Lu Yihua and let him go.

After walking to the arch and saluting each other, Lu Yihua asked, "What's going on?"

The non-commissioned officer said: "Just now, someone from the porter came to deliver the message, saying that the second young master of the Zhao family had handed over the invitation card, and he brought a sentence along the way, asking if the commander is free at noon, if you are free, please come to the banquet by all means. "

After thinking about it, Lu Yihua asked again: "Is the invitation only for me?"

The non-commissioned officer said: "The person who sent the invitation card was still holding another post. I asked about it, and the person said that the post was for the second young master."

Lu Yihua nodded vigorously: "Go and make arrangements, and come out with me later."

"Yes."

"What's the matter?" Holding a pair of small scissors, Mr. Lu asked while trimming the flowers and plants according to Liu Sheng's words.

"The second son of the Zhao family came to send an invitation card, saying that he invited me and my second brother to a banquet at noon."

Mr. Lu said: "Is it for the cooperation between the two?"

"I think it should be."

The last time Lu Yihua came back to Miancheng was in March last year. It has been more than a year now. There have been too many things that happened in the past year. The cooperation between the Lu and Zhao families may be regarded as a big event for others, but it is for Lu Yihua. The things he encountered couldn't be more trivial.

Besides, Lu Yihua didn't have time to spend time on it. After Lu Chengan returned to China, he had already let go of this business. If it wasn't for Zhao Jiaxing's banquet, he probably would have forgotten about it in a few days.

After thinking about it, Lu Yihua felt that he should go there. After all, the cooperation between the two companies is not a trivial matter, let alone cooperating to transfer property overseas?Even for the sake of caution, Zhao Jiaxing still wants to meet him this time.

After all, he was the one who talked about cooperation with Zhao Jiaxing at the beginning. Even though he had already left the matter to Lu Chengan, the cooperation between the two companies has been stable all the way, but things in the business field are the most difficult to talk about. It is better for the three of them to meet and make it clear. , Lu Chengan and Zhao Jiaxing's cooperation in the future will also reduce some concerns.

Thinking of this, Lu Yihua sent someone to inform Lu Chengan.

Because Mr. Lu arranged a family banquet for the evening, Lu Chengan turned off his work for the whole day. When he received the invitation, he was sitting in his home teasing his children. He reached out to take the invitation and looked at it. Lu Chengan smiled and said: "Zhao Er The son has a heart."

The banquet at noon was very boring, Lu Yihua was impatient with this, and after sitting there talking to his second brother and Zhao Jiaxing, he became absent-minded.After listening to them talking for a while, Lu Yihua, who had been involved in business, felt his head ache. Feeling bored, Lu Yihua simply pleaded guilty and left first.

Walking around Miancheng for a few times, when passing by a small stall, Lu Yihua happened to see sesame candies neatly arranged.He suddenly remembered that he liked this very much when he was a child, so he bought some for people to carry. There was really nothing to do, so Lu Yihua went back to Lu's house by car.

"Who is that Liu Sheng? How could Jing An have that kind of relationship with him?"

"I heard that Jing An has known him for more than ten years, and he was also a young master of everyone back then, but the world is not good, and the family has fallen." A female voice followed the male voice just now.

The man's mocking voice sounded immediately: "How can this happen? That man Jing An is just like that, he dare not do anything, maybe he was forced to do it, and besides, I don't dare to go to parties with Jing An often. In a place, I’m afraid that it will be bad if I run into someone.”

The female voice continued: "Forget it, forget it, this is my house, Jing'an is still here, forget it if you are usually confused, you can't talk nonsense now, my younger brother has a big heart, and I can't save him if he is provoked." you."

Lu Han's words were obviously for the man's sake, but he didn't think so, and said indifferently: "Why, what I said is wrong? Besides, I can be regarded as his brother-in-law, so I don't believe that he disrespects his brother."

Lu Han frowned: "You're really right. Jing An is like an elder brother in my house. My father likes him the most. Can you say less or less. Besides, you have a good relationship with Jing An. In the future, his official career will be smooth, he will be in that position no matter what, even if the military and government are different, others will sell his face."

Although the man still didn't care about it, seeing Lu Han frown, he didn't say anything anymore, and helped Lu Han sit down in the small pavilion: "You have a body now, don't be unhappy, I just don't say those words in the future. But Well, speaking of it, it might not be Jing'an, it doesn't look like Liu Sheng is unwilling, Jing'an's conditions are so good, maybe—"

The man's words were not finished, and the remaining lingering sound reminded people of even more embarrassing afterwords.

Lu Yihua happened to walk to the arch of the garden at this moment.He paused when he heard this sentence. Originally, he was thinking that although it was afternoon, according to the old man's interest in the morning, he might still be in the garden now, so he turned around to have a look, but he didn't want to hear such remarks .

"—maybe?"

Lu Han's eyes widened suddenly, and Li Huai, who was standing beside him, also looked towards the garden arch, and saw Lu Yihua brushing a willow branch towards them.

Lu Han reacted faster, pinched Li Huai who was in a trance, stood up and smiled at Lu Yihua: "It's Jing'an, didn't you go out today, why did you come back so early? Where's the second brother?"

Lu Yihua didn't answer him, but smiled and said, "Sister Han, you'd better sit down. Now that you are a healthy person, and you hurt my father's grandson, no matter how much my father likes me, I will probably be punished." Lu Yihua said to himself , and regardless of Lu Han's forced smile after hearing his words, he continued, "Besides, I finally came back, and I don't want to be accused of disrespecting my brothers and sisters."

Li Huaiqiang smiled and said, "How is that possible."

Lu Yihua smiled: "I hope it's impossible, don't you think so, brother-in-law?"

Li Huai couldn't continue, and Lu Yihua didn't say any more. After glancing at them, he stopped smiling, and said lightly, "Born in a family like ours, Sister Han and brother-in-law both know that words are fearsome, right?" ? There are some things that should not be said indiscriminately!"

It is most embarrassing for people to talk behind their backs, and Li Huai almost couldn't hold back his face. If Lu Han hadn't been holding his hand tightly, this thin-skinned literati would probably run away.

After Lu Yihua finished speaking, he left. Lu Han breathed a sigh of relief, with lingering fears in his heart: "Fortunately, Jing'an only said a few words, otherwise I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy." Being said like this, I am afraid that he will bear grudges against the person who made him embarrassed, although Lu Han was worried, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade, "Don't worry about it, since my aunt passed away, Jing An has always had this temperament. Besides, it is much better now, if it was a child, let alone a person, it is something in his hands, if you dare to say something bad, he will dare to make you restless."

Li Huai forced a smile, suppressed the little grudge, stepped forward to support Lu Han: "Let's go back."

Lu Han looked at him, sighed secretly in his heart, and didn't know what he was thinking, but stopped talking, which relieved Li Huai who was preparing to listen to a nagging.
