Lu Mansion

A simple yard with only one entry.

As night fell, dim vegetable oil lamps had been lit in the hall.

"The master is back." Seeing Lu Dahu returning home, Lu Su immediately greeted him and said.

"Yeah." Lu Dahu responded, then took off the top of his head and handed it to her.

"Master, you're hungry! The food is ready, I'll serve you hot." Lu Su said quickly after putting Lu Dahu's top dress on his face.

"No hurry, madam. I've been tired for a day, let me sit for a while first and rest." Lu Dahu said, and sat in the chair placed in the hall, then picked up the tea kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea. After taking a sip, he asked, "Nothing happened at home, right?"

"Don't worry, Master, everything in the family is well and nothing is going on." Lu Su walked behind Lu Dahu and replied with his shoulder loosened for him.

"That's good. Now that the rebels have arrived, the garrison general ordered the city gate to be blocked. The staff in this government office is often insufficient. I am afraid that there will be ignorant little girls who dare to make trouble in the chaos." Lu Dahu said with his eyes closed. At this moment, Lu Su's shoulders and neck pinched him made him feel extremely relaxed.

Lu Su was originally the daughter of a eunuch. Although she was ordinary in appearance, she was knowledgeable and polite, generous and decent. She was only implicated by her family and was demoted to Jiaosifang as a maid.

Seeing that Lu Dahu's father was very good, he paid money to redeem her for his son as his wife. If not, how could Lu Dahu marry her?

"Master, are these rebels really powerful?" Lu Su asked curiously.

"It's amazing. Today, there were only twenty rebels coming to the city gate, and twenty or thirty armored Eight Banners cavalry were killed and killed. They seemed to have escaped unscathed. I have never seen such a powerful rebel." Lu Dahu replied.

Lu Dahu's words made Lu Su very worried, and the work in his hand stopped unconsciously.

"Then are we in danger?" Lu Su asked.

"Don't be afraid of this. No matter what happens to Jiangning Mansion, it is a big city. The high and thick walls of this city are not comparable to ordinary city walls. Even if you use hundreds of red-clothed cannons to hit the city wall for a month, the city wall may not be in trouble. Moreover, the court will not allow the rebels to surround Jiangning Mansion for a long time." Lu Dahu replied:

"I heard that the imperial court has mobilized heavy troops from many provinces in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong to encircle and suppress the rebels. I believe that the siege of Jiangning Prefecture will be resolved soon."

"I feel relieved when the master said this." Lu Sushi brushed her chest and said, "But this battlefield fight is ultimately dangerous, so the master has to be more careful. Rong'er is still young now..."

"Okay, what do you know about this battlefield? You can't decide on this battlefield. If you eat this meal, you will have no complaints about today." Lu Su's words made Lu Dahu very annoyed and scolded her.

"Yes..." Lu Su didn't dare to say much, but there was a crying voice in his words.

In life, how can there be any thing that will always be successful?

Lu Su's life was a bit rich and frugal, but he didn't expect that he would fall from heaven to hell at once. Now he finally had a husband and children, and had hope for life, but he would suffer from military disasters.

The more Lu Su thought about it, the more sad he felt. The pain in his heart was far greater than tasting bitter gall.

"Okay, madam. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although the rebels are coming, they may not attack the city in large numbers. On the contrary, there is a high possibility that they will siege but not attack. After all, Jiangning Mansion is not easy to fight." Lu Dahu whispered to comfort him in a low voice.

"The Bodhisattva promises that this is the best." When Lu Su heard this, he immediately clasped his hands together and recited.

"My master thinks I'm hungry too, so I'll bring the food now."

"No hurry, madam. I want you to help you with this for some reason." Lu Dahu suddenly rubbed his hands and said with a little embarrassed look.

"Master, please tell me, you couple have any questions about whether to help or not." Lu Su looked at Lu Dahu's face strange.

"That's right. Today I picked up a piece of paper under the city wall with some words written on it. You know, I always know words, but I don't know words. So I want to ask you to help me see what is written on it." Lu Dahu said, then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Sushi.

Lu Su reached out to take the paper. He felt strange about Lu Dahu's behavior.

Um?

After watching Lu Su, he immediately closed his eyes and asked Lu Dahu, "Where did you come from?"

"What's wrong with the grass beside the city wall? What's written on it?" Lu Dahu hurriedly asked when he saw this familiar scene.

"Master, this thing should be a traitor and needs to be burned immediately. If someone with a malicious intention towards our family knows that you have this on you, it may bring disaster to our family." Lu Su said.

"So serious?" Lu Dahu didn't expect that Lu Su would say something that was almost the same as Chen Yiqi.

It seems that this is not a good thing.

"It must be burned if it is burned, it will burn it in a while. But tell me quickly, what is written on it?" Lu Dahu asked anxiously.

Since I asked Chen Yiqi not to find out the news, it would be fine to ask my literate wife.

"Master, there are actually no serious words written on it. It's just that it says propaganda and rebels. This is definitely a taboo in the court." Lu Su replied.

"Then tell me what it is writing about! It's really annoying." Lu Dahu said a little anxiously.

"Yes, I'll read it to the master now." Lu Su replied quickly.

“That is said above:

Open the city gate and welcome the King of Han,

The descendants do not make pigs or sheep.

There are fields and surplus grains,

You don’t have to worry about living in a big room with food and accommodation.”

"It's like this... it's over?" Lu Dahu was stunned after hearing this, and then asked.

"That's all, that's all the words on it." Lu Su replied.

"What's the matter? How serious do you say?" Lu Dahu looked like he was indifferent in an instant.

"Master, have you not figured it out? How many people are out of no land and land outside, and how many beggars sleeping on the streets? How many people are bullied by people all day long and dare not speak out?" Lu Su asked one by one, but Lu Dahu was silent. He was not bullied by people and dared not speak out?

"These few short sentences are like a lead that can ignite firecrackers. As long as someone raises a fire, there will be no undercurrents in the city at that time? If you carry such a note on your body, what do you think the officials of the court will miss you?"

"Madam is right, I will burn this piece of paper now. I won't mention it to anyone." Lu Dahu nodded and responded, then took the paper from Lu Su's hand and went to the oil lamp next to it to burn it.
