If it were the world of the Tang Dynasty, Qian Yuan's first reaction should be that he had a charming body and was probably from the Yinkui Sect!

"Uh... this is good. If there is no suitable one... I'll give it in first." Qian Yuan twitched twice.

"It's just a maid in the backyard." Lu Bing hesitated for a while. Qian Yuan was favored by the emperor and had a deep personal relationship, so he should not talk nonsense.

After thinking about it, Lu Bing decided to think about it again. If he came from the Lu Mansion, it would be a good thing if he could please His Majesty, but if it was a bad thing...

The two of them wandered around the garden and entered the main hall, sat down to have tea. Lu Bing smiled bitterly and said, "Lu has no Longjing in Mingqian this year, so he is waiting for the exhibition."

Qian Yuan laughed. Although Hou Ruliang took office as governor of Zhejiang, the Hangzhou prefect still sent the Mingqian Longjing this year, which was slightly more than last year.

"The quality is naturally kept, and ordinary tea is sold in the sea. South and Western merchants are not proficient in this." Qian Yuan said casually: "Brother Wenfu, don't worry, Qian is a person who cares about friendship. In the future, whether the Lu family is in Anlu or Pinghu, the Southeast trade will have a share."

"No need." Lu Bing shook his head, "This time, all the family wealth is spent, Anlu also has a farmland, and its descendants are enough to fill their stomachs."

"Brother Wenfu is so elegant, but the Lu family's in-laws are all as evil as ferocious wolves..."

Lu Bing snorted, "I have no military power, I have been able to support myself for a hundred years, and I am greedy for money and goods, so I am not playing with my brother in my hands?"

Although there are civil servants and eunuchs like Yan Song, Xu Jie, Huang Jin, and Wu Peng in the Lu family, most of them are noble families... Chengguo Duke, An Ding Bo, Guangning Bo, Xing'an Bo, and Yingcheng Bo, all of them have been pulled by Qian Yuan onto the pirate ship of Hai Trade.

"It's quite a rule." Qian Yuan was not polite at all, "It's just that the Zhao family is a little shameless."

Lu Bing smiled bitterly and stood up to salute and apologize.

Qian Yuan refers to the wife Zhao, who was promoted to justice a few years ago. His father was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing and was a Hanlin student Zhao Zupeng.

Zhao Zupeng is indeed a bit shameless. His young daughter is said to be both talented and beautiful. She first fell in love with Xu Wei, who was in the emperor's heart at that time, and then fell in love with Ding Shimei, the top scorer in the palace examination in the 38th year of Jiajing. She forced her to marry twice. Xu Wei cursed her, but Ding Shimei refused.

It's okay. Zhao Zupeng is from Zhejiang. He knows that Zhejiang has gone south to Zhenhai in recent years due to the great development of sea trade. He openly called his son-in-law Lu Bing and cheated him, which made Zhenhai in a mess. Sun Ying sent a letter to the capital, and Tang Shunzhi drove the people out directly.

Just for this matter, Lu Bing and Suiyuan had a small friction at the end of last year.

After waiting for a whole hour, Lu Bing finished writing the gift list. Qian Yuan read it briefly and threw it back, "Rewrite it, silver and gold are all zeros."

Lu Bing nodded repeatedly, there were zeros and evens, which seemed a little more real, and you didn't say this detail earlier, but I'll talk about it after I finished writing it!

He left with the rewritten gift list, and Lu Bing reluctantly sent it to the second door, "I thank you for your thanks for this."

After hearing the word "virtuous brother", Qian Yuan shivered a little. Over the years... the last person who called him this way was Zhang Juzheng.

"Brother Wenfu, teach you good." Qian Yuan turned around and looked at the garden again, and smiled: "If you really like Your Majesty, send this garden out..."

Lu Bing looked at Qian Yuan leaving thoughtfully, turned around and called his eldest son Lu Jing, and asked a few questions in a low voice.

After a while, Lu Bing received a reply. He pointed in surprise at the man who was still working, who was admitted to the Lu family because of his great strength. "Is this person's daughter?"

Lu Jing nodded affirmatively.

Qian Yuan never thought that sometimes history is so cruel, but sometimes history is so interesting. Is this a coincidence or inevitable?

In the original time and space, the eldest son and second son of King Yu died one after another. The first princess died early, and the second princess was reluctant to give birth to her. Until the 40th year of Jiajing, King Yu was in a favor with a maid next to the princess. Two years later, the maid gave birth to Emperor Wanli of the Ming Shenzong.

In this life, Prince Yu's eldest son did not die, and there was a maid next to the princess... and the maid followed her father to join the Lu family.

Coincidentally, the woman will appear next to Emperor Longqing again following the historical trajectory.

What's even more coincidental is that Qian Yuan casually mentioned that if this woman is favored by Her Majesty, she can give this mansion to her family.

In the original time and space, the Lu family cultivated the garden. The maid's father Li Wei carried stones and soil. Later, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne and Lu Bing was liquidated. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, the woman who transformed into Empress Dowager Li gave the mansion to her father Wuqing Bo Li Wei.

After returning to the study, Lu Bing carefully planned and sent the woman to the West Garden. After all, he had been in charge of the Jinyiwei for decades and was in-laws with Huang Jin, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor. He had many connections in the West Garden.

The key to the question is whether this woman can be favored by His Majesty. After thinking for a long time, Lu Bing made up his mind to prepare and send it in first. At the same time, he secretly sent his confidants to search for folk beauties.

"Father." Lu Jing knocked in, "That gift list..."

"Buy your life money." Lu Bing replied simply and directly: "If this happens, all three of you will resign and return home."

Lu Jing took the title of the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and the two younger brothers also took the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu. Lu Bing knew that his three sons were mediocre, and he could not make a fortune anyway, so it would be better to live a life honestly.

Just as he was thinking, Lu Bing suddenly changed his words: "If you don't go back to Anlu, go back to Pinghu."

Although Lu Bing was born in Anlu, the Lu family's ancestral home is Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture.

The Lu family was prosperous because Lu Bingjian was in the emperor's heart, and it must have declined because of Emperor Jiajing's death. How to go in the future... Lu Bing had long thoughts.

If there were no accidents, the Lu family would never be able to replicate Lu Bing's path. If they want to rise again, there are only two options: one is to enter the imperial examination.

It’s not a joke. It was normal for military origin or even Jinyiwei to get a Jinshi in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The most typical example was Zhang Juzheng, who was a military origin, as well as Hu Zongxian, Jinyiwei’s military origin, and even Xian Yuan, Wu Dui, and Lu Yipeng in Suiyuan were all military origins.

Lu Bing thought in his mind that the three sons were useless, and he could only look at the third generation if he wanted to go this path.

Second, sea trade.

Although far away in the capital, Lu Bing has a deeper understanding of the rise of Southeast sea trade than ordinary officials. This wave has swallowed Liangzhe, Susong is sweeping Fujian and Guangdong at an unprecedented speed.

If future generations cannot enter the imperial examination and rely on maritime trade, they can at least become rich.

Lu Bing rubbed his eyebrows. He wanted to take the sea trade route, but he might not be able to bypass Qian Yuan. This is another personal favor.

Lu Bing is a smart person. He guessed that sending his daughter to the palace was the blame for Qian Yuan throwing it over, but he had to admit that this was still a favor.
