Lu Si strictly disciplined himself. Although he intended to promote the Lu family relatives, when he handed over the uncle Lu Youde and his brother Lu Wencai to the Huai'an prefect Zheng Biao, he asked the other party to teach for a year first, then watch and practice for a year, and then take the initiative for another year. That is, he asked two young people of the Lu family to be at ease with Zheng Biao for three years, and to officially enter the official career with their abilities and performance, rather than giving the Lu family relatives a higher vocational position from the beginning.

This led to Lu Youde now being just a financial officer in Funing Township, a subsidiary of Shanyang County, while Lu Wencai works as a transportation officer in Qinghe County. Both of them are from the eighth rank and are not in the right position. They are definitely not considered officials, at most they are considered officials.

Therefore, the tax officials at Dongguan Wharf of Yangzhou arranged such a scene for the two Lu relatives, and treated them like a few-ranked senior official, which really made Lu Youde's uncle and nephew "float".

At this moment, the two of them also felt the word "Lu Qin" firmly, and it turned out that they could eat so well.

"Lu Qin is in the way, don't enter if you are idle!"

Amid the sound of the gong, Uncle De, Nephew, was guarded by a group of officers and soldiers, and passed through the downtown area of ​​Dongguan. People in Yangzhou pointed and showed envy on their faces, which made Uncle De, Nephew in the car more comfortable.

Halfway through the journey, there were also local officials in Yangzhou's prefect Zheng Yuanxun, Huaiyangtonghuisi's left-level political officer Tan Wendao, Jiangdu County Magistrate Lu Jiying and other local power-based officials from Yangzhou came to greet him. Finally, when they arrived at Guanyuan Street, Huaiyangtonghui Liu Bao set up a case here and waited for him.

This is also a matter of course. Governor Lu succeeded in the Northern Expedition, and Dashun saw the light of day again. So soon the Governor would ascend the throne to Beijing. In this way, how could Liu Bao, as the local governor of Dashun, not pay attention to the incident of the Governor's father's visit to Beijing? He had already ordered people to arrange all aspects.

Huai'an Prefecture is the prefecture under Huaiyang Province. Liu Tonghui was like the former governor of the grain transport and the governor of Huaiyang. He was the largest official in the Huaiyang area, but he was able to condescend to welcome the two relatives of Hou and Lu. If you have uncle and nephew, you will be drifting, just like drinking the Qiongyu sauce wine given by the Queen Mother, which is so beautiful that it cannot be more beautiful.

Fortunately, Uncle De's nephew was under the command of Zheng Gong of Huai'an for more than two years and was still a little calmer, so he did not make a joke and his words and demeanor were appropriate, which made Liu Tonghui nod slightly, thinking that these two Lu relatives were much more sensible than other Lu relatives in Yangzhou City.

"Thank you for your hard work from the two Lu Qins. I have ordered someone to go to Lu Qin's mansion to communicate with the old master and the old master. I think the old man has already received the news and is waiting."

Liu Bao smiled.

Huaiyang people respectfully call the "old man" to the elderly. Although Liu Bao was from Huguang, he followed the customs of the countryside and naturally respected the title of King Chuang and his uncle as the old man.

"Sir!"

Lu Youde dared not take Lu's aphorism as a child. After all, he is just a small township official and can still be clear about his own family.

"Please, please, two, Lu!

It would be fine if Liu Baoqian gave in for a moment, and ordered his followers to take a pedestal and turn over the horse. He was a former juren of the Ming Dynasty, but he was a defensive envoy in Huguang, which was considered both civil and military.

Everyone went to Lu Qin Mansion in a vast way. When the alley in front of the mansion was already in a mess, many gentry and businessmen in Yangzhou who heard the news came to congratulate the old man on his way to Beijing.

It was really a bustling bustle, with big bags and small bags, gongs and drums, and colorful flags flying...

Lu Wenliang, the current leader of the Lu Qin Mansion, patrolled Yizhen. At this time, the Lu Qin Mansion was in charge of Lu Wenzhu, the son of the second uncle of the governor Lu. He used to be an apprentice in Xinxingchang Restaurant in Yancheng. Later, the Lu family became famous in Yangzhou where his father came.

After his uncle Lu Youcai wrote a letter to his nephew Lu Si, Lu Wenzhu was given the title of Yangtze River Surveyor, but this official is not only true. Lu Wenzhu usually trains in the army with his elder brother Lu Wenliang. However, somehow Lu Wenzhu was not interested in the affairs in the army, so even if his elder brother Lu Wenliang often urged him, he was not willing to go to the army.

Perhaps because of knowing the nature of this youngest brother, Lu Wenliang did not force him to come back to take charge of the Lu family's affairs. Unexpectedly, Lu Wenzhu was very familiar with these things, and managed the Lu family smoothly, welcomed and received the reception, and enjoyed it.

Lu Wenzhu also has an older brother, Lu Wenhua. In order to protect the Lu family's ancestral tomb, this man almost died. After he recovered from his injury, he was lame and unable to work in the army. Therefore, Lu Si asked this brother, who was not related to blood, to do business in Huaiyan in Yangzhou, and to do business as his business.

Relying on the convenience of the top and bottom, it was because of Governor Lu’s brother, Lu Wenhua’s business was well done. Not only did he marry a wife, he also took three concubines. Now he has two sons and three daughters, and he is the one with the most offspring in the next generation of the Lu family.

However, in March last year, Lu Si, who was far away in the north, suddenly wrote a letter to his uncle Lu Youcai, meaning that although Lu Wenhua joined the Lu family with his second aunt, Wenhua had a biological father after all, and Wenhua's biological father could not be cut off because of the Lu family. Therefore, Wenhua's next generation could restore his original surname and not enter the Lu family's genealogy. However, the Lu family will be responsible for the future of the children, which is treated as an equal official.

Lu Youcai felt that what his nephew said made sense, so he decided to change the child Lu Wenhua gave birth to then back to his original surname Chen.

Lu Si's second aunt Wang also made a big fuss about this incident and "fighted" Lu Si's second uncle Lu Youfu for more than half a month. Lu Youfu had no choice but to find his elder brother Youcai, hoping that the child born to Wenhua would be named Lu and all of them would be included in the Lu family's genealogy.

Lu Youcai thought that since his sister-in-law didn't want his grandson to change his surname, there was no need for their Lu family to force him, so he asked someone to write a letter to his nephew, but he didn't expect that his nephew would reply but insisted on his previous thoughts.

Just like that, several of Lu Wenhua's children changed their surnames back to Chen.

Lu Wenhua and his wife and concubine also live in Lu's residence, but he is not in his residence but in his hometown in Yancheng. In July and August, many salt fields were damaged by the sea water in Yancheng, including Lu Wenhua's salt fields, so he went to Yancheng more than a month ago to busy rebuild the salt fields.

Mo underestimated the salt farm under his name. It can bring him Lu Wenhua a net profit of more than 100,000 taels of silver in a year. The loss of this one day is very big.

Lu Wenzhu used to be an apprentice and a partner in a restaurant, and was very skillful in dealing with people and things. After receiving a notice, the prefect was about to come, so he asked his servants to clean up the house and wait in the doorman.

He had a good relationship with Lu Wencai when he was at home, so he greeted him enthusiastically as soon as he saw Lu Wencai. After Lu Wencai responded, he asked Xiaozhuzi where Uncle Wen was.

"The mansion asked you and Uncle Youde and I to send Uncle Youwen to Beijing,"

Lu Wencai pulled Lu Wenzhu aside and quietly told him that the Wenzong brothers were afraid that they would ascend the throne and become emperor, so Beijing was fighting to invite Uncle Wen to Beijing. If Uncle Wen went there, he would become the Supreme Emperor.

"real?!"

Lu Wenzhu was both happy and excited, so he quickly asked someone to inform his uncle and uncle and others, and invited Liu Tonghui and Zheng Gongyin to go to the living room to use tea.

Lu Youde looked around and found that there were many people in the mansion, but he looked neither like an official nor a rich man, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"These are all Lu Qin."

Zheng Yuanxun wanted to smile.

It turned out that Lu's uncle, Lu Youyou, was a talented and loyal person, and took special care of his neighbors. Therefore, all the members of the Lu family in Yancheng County and those who came to Yangzhou lived in Luqin Mansion. From food, clothing, housing and services to services, Luqin Mansion was responsible for everything.

Liu Bao, the Yangtonghui meeting with Huaiyangtong, and Zheng Yuanxun, the prefect of Yangzhou, basically met the requirements for the Lu family. Over time, the Lu family's mansion became a must-have place for the Lu family in Yancheng County and the neighbors of the Lu family to Yangzhou. On weekdays, there are at least dozens of poor relatives who come to Yancheng here.

The surname Lu is recommended by Lu to work in various places in Huaiyang by Lu's official residence. Now I am afraid that there are not a hundred or eighty.

.........

The one who went to inform Uncle Wen was Lu Yiming. In other words, he was his uncle and nephew of Uncle Wenzong who entered Beijing. Yiliang, who was beside Uncle Wenzong, was his brother of Uncle Wenzong.

The relationship is also relatively close.

Yiming came to Lu Qin Mansion to be a manager from his hometown in Yancheng three months ago by the patriarch Lu Youxue. He was quick-witted and had eyesight. Lu Youcai and his grandfathers praised his nephew for being good.

The Shen family mansion used to occupy a large area, with 103 houses alone and a rockery garden in the garden. Outsiders came in to look for people without knowing their residence, and they would definitely not be able to find them for a while.

Lu Yiming has been in this house for three months. It is logical that he could have found Grandpa Wen, but after searching for him, he could not see Grandpa. He couldn't help but be surprised. On the way, he ran into Xiaoyu, a maid serving his grandpa, and asked quickly: "Where is the third grandpa?"

Xiaoyu pointed to the north: "The third old man is picking fat in the backyard."

"Oh, how can the third old master pick fat? It's really nonsense!"

Lu Yiming was anxious and hurried to the garden in the north. When he arrived at the ground, he saw that the third old man was carrying two dung buckets to the west corner of the garden.

There was originally a piece of peonies there, which looked very beautiful, but now there is no peonies, only a piece of soil that has just been turned down.

Most of the time, the third old man was idle and wanted to turn the garden into a vegetable field.

"San Lao Grandpa, stop pouring weight. Come with me quickly. Liu Tonghui and Zheng Gongyin are here!" Lu Yiming quickly stepped forward and wanted to remove the burden on his shoulders for the Third Lao Grandpa.

"Liu Tonghui and the others are here? Is there anything wrong?"

Lu Youwen was afraid that the manure in the bucket would spread to his nephew, so he quickly put the bucket down and pulled out the shoulder pole.

"If you have something to do, my fourth grandfather invites you to Beijing!"

The third old man was accused of being accused of being a salt merchant in Haizi two years ago, and his ears were a little bad, so Lu Yiming spoke loudly, otherwise the third old man would not be able to hear it clearly.

"What?"

Lu Youwen was stunned when he heard this, "Go to Nanjing?"

Lu Yiming said anxiously: "It's not Nanjing, it's Beijing!"

"Beijing?"

Lu Youwen looked confused, "What are you going to Beijing for? I won't go." After that, he put the shoulder pole on the ground, picked up the manure scoop on the ground and prepared to scoop the manure and fertilizer on the ground that he had just turned over, otherwise he would not be able to grow anything.

Lu Yiliang was anxious and snatched the feces from the third old master's hand and threw them aside, saying, "My good old master, don't do this, hurry up and follow me."

Lu Youwen was also anxious: "Don't mess around, you have to fertilize this land. If you don't fertilize it, you can't grow something."

"Oh my mother, what an old man, you are all about to be the Supreme Emperor. What else can you pour in water and what will you grow!"

Lu Yiming was anxious and funny.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Youwen was stunned, "The Supreme Emperor?"

"Well, the Supreme Emperor!"

Lu Yiming was so happy that he smiled, "My Uncle Wenzong is going to be the emperor, the third elder, you are going to be the emperor!"

"The Supreme Emperor?"

Lu Youwen murmured to himself, over and over again, suddenly patted his hands and laughed: "Ah! Okay, my son is promising, promising! My ancestral grave is really coming out of blue smoke, and the blue smoke is coming out of blue smoke... OK, OK, OK, very good..."
