"Young Master, the Emperor actually really wants you to serve as an official. If you are willing to serve as an official now, the Emperor will definitely use it."

The old housekeeper looked at Lu Chensheng and said cautiously.

He knew this very well, because the emperor often met with the master alone, thinking that the master could persuade the young master to become an official.

There were many such things, so the master often talked to him about them.

"What, you're here to be a lobbyist too?"

Lu Chensheng heard this and looked at the housekeeper a little funny.

"No, isn't this old slave here to talk about things in the imperial capital? This is one of them."

When the housekeeper saw Lu Chensheng asking, he quickly shook his head to indicate that he was not here to persuade.

He knew the character of his young master, and if he really acted like this, he might not even think about saying anything next.

"Choose other more important things and let's talk about them."

Lu Chensheng did not continue to dwell on this topic, but changed the topic.

The old housekeeper did not dare to neglect, and told him everything that happened in the imperial capital these days.

Lu Chensheng listened carefully and would ask more carefully from time to time.

After waiting for a while, the old housekeeper was about to speak but stopped.

"If the housekeeper has anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so hesitant."

After Lu Chensheng saw it, he said directly.

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately glanced at Qiong Yue who was standing aside.

"Um, I dare to ask this for you, is the young lady pregnant?"

This is what Lu Qiping told me to ask when he came. Now the master is thinking about whether he can hold his great-grandson in his arms.

When Qiong Yue heard this, she immediately lowered her head, her eyes slightly gloomy.

"Go back and tell him that you can hug him right away, don't worry."

Lu Chensheng was also stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand.

The old man was just thinking about having a great-grandchild, and he couldn't wait.

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately understood that the young lady was not pregnant yet, so he did not dare to say anything else.

After dinner, Lu Chensheng came to the study and wrote all the letters he was going to reply to. Then he sat down again and continued writing the prologue to The Red Mansion.

When the bright moon rose above the treetops, Qiong Yue walked in with tea and saw Lu Chensheng writing about The Red Mansion, but did not disturb Lu Chensheng.

When Lu Chensheng was resting and eating refreshments, he stepped forward to rub his shoulders.

"What's wrong? Are you depressed again?"

Lu Chensheng immediately noticed Qiong Yue's little mood.

Qiong Yue looked at Lu Chensheng, with a bit of uneasiness on her face.

"Husband, am I unable to give birth..."

In such an era, any problem that cannot give birth to a child is a woman's problem, which is why Qiong Yue asked.

Lu Chensheng patted Qiong Yue's slender hand with his backhand, "What nonsense are you talking about? It could also be a problem with your husband. Having a child requires both of you to have no problems."

"Husband, don't talk nonsense. It can only be a problem with my body. How can there be a problem with my husband in it?"

Qiong Yue became nervous when she heard this, and spoke directly from the side.

"Having children has always been a woman's problem. When did it involve men?"

"You don't know as much as your husband. How can you argue with your husband in this regard? If a man has problems with children due to some reasons, he will not be able to have children."

Lu Chensheng explained to Qiong Yue, which made Qiong Yue a little suspicious.

My husband understands it, which is naturally more than hers, there is no doubt about it.

My husband is so steadfast in his vows, could it be that he really is her husband...

When Qiong Yue thought of this, she became more and more uneasy. She would rather it was her own fault.

"It's better, my husband takes the fifth day of the month and you can find out."

Qiong Yue thought about it and asked her husband to try it. Then she would know.

Lu Chensheng was startled when he heard this and wanted to say something, but Qiong Yue did continue to speak.

"Husband, don't say so much. Chuwu is a good girl, and now she can help her husband with his business affairs. We can't let Chuwu get married? Even if her husband is willing, Chuwu won't be willing.

So, if you don't get married on the fifth day of the lunar month, is it possible that your husband will make the fifth day of the lunar month lonely for the rest of his life?"

Qiong Yue said a few words aside, which made Lu Chensheng smile bitterly. This was naturally impossible.

The problem is that Qiong Yue is not pregnant yet, so it would be somewhat bad for both of them to accept the fifth day of the lunar month.

Lu Chensheng somewhat understands women's thoughts, so naturally he feels bad about this matter.

"My wife is trying to spend more time with her husband. If she doesn't have children yet, she will consider other things."

Lu Chensheng thought for a while and said something to Qiong Yue.

After hearing this, Qiong Yue agreed to Lu Chensheng after thinking about it.

I still have a glimmer of hope in my heart, maybe if I try more, I might get pregnant.

....

As time passed day by day, what Lu Chensheng didn't expect was that none of the princes came to redeem him.

Instead, one by one, they took some money and asked Lu Chensheng to teach for more time.

This made Lu Chensheng look at the white money sent and was a little confused for a while.

"I originally thought that I would catch these people and extort some money, but why did these people just dump them here?"

Lu Chensheng looked at the blue sky and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I was given 10,000 taels of silver and I took it back, but I lost 10,000 taels of silver directly. If I had used the 10,000 taels to teach the young master for ten months, I would still have gained something."

The steward heard this and said something to the side.

I'm not stupid. I paid 10,000 taels in vain and got nothing. It would be better to leave her here and foster her for ten months. That would be good too.

Lu Chensheng was startled when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was true.

They are all smart guys.

Lu Chensheng thought for a while and shook his head secretly.

But I didn't think much about it. I looked at the children hoeing the ground with their butts stuck out and thought that it would actually be good for them to cultivate the land for ten months.

When the time comes and autumn comes, they can still experience the feeling of autumn harvest.

As for whether to teach other things, it depends on how well these people perform.

Another ten days passed, and the old housekeeper was ready to leave.

He has been here for a long time and he cannot stay any longer.

Lu Chensheng didn't try to persuade him to stay. He stuffed the prepared drinks, some gifts and so on into the car, asked the butler to help bring them to the imperial capital, and then delivered them to others.

Lu Chensheng escorted the housekeeper outside. Finally, at the urging of the housekeeper, Lu Chensheng stopped seeing him off and watched the housekeeper go away.
