Sure enough, not long after Lu Xu walked out of Qin's mansion, he saw a kind-hearted old man waiting for him on the street.
Seeing Lu Xu coming out, the old man hurriedly walked up. When Lu Xu was at Qin Yongyan's house, he once passed by the old man. Lu Xu still remembered that his personal soldiers called the old man's housekeeper at that time.
The old man smiled and gave Lu Xu something: "My master asked the old slave to give such a thing to Lord Lu."
Lu Xu took it and saw that it was a jade talisman with the word "Cai" written on it. Lu Xu was wondering why it was Cai but not Qin?
I heard the old man say, "My master also said that if the adults have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future or need the help of people in the capital for help, they can send someone to the capital with this jade talisman to the capital to find the third son of Duke Cai's mansion."
Lu Xu was stunned, then laughed: "So that's it! So that's it! I understand!"
No wonder Qin Yongyan was able to get such a good opportunity for promotion, because he was originally a nobleman in the capital.
No wonder Qin Yongyan was neither afraid of Ding Nian nor close to Wen Yuanzhong, because he was a nobleman and represented another interest group.
In any dynasty, the nobles left by the country when it was founded belong to a special interest group. Because this group is relatively fixed, and this group must be with the country.
Their power, status and all their interests come from this dynasty, so they are different from other ministers after all.
Now that Qin Yongyan gave him his waist card, it means that the noble group has issued an invitation to him. If Lu Xu needs help in the future, he can take this waist card and ask the nobles for help.
However, in this way, I may become a member of the noble group and may even become their slaves.
But these have nothing to do with Lu Xu now. He just needs to figure out what the people like Qinzhou Prefecture are planning.
That night, Lu Xu returned to the Longmen Escort Agency. When Lu Xu arrived, the little girl who was rescued by Lu Xu also woke up.
Although the little girl still looked very afraid of being angry, she obviously still remembered that Lu Xu once buried her mother. So after seeing Lu Xu, she rushed directly to Lu Xu, looking very attached to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu simply hugged the girl and put her on his lap. Li Changqing said, "I heard that the adults don't have maids at home. Since he wants to take care of this child, he always has to prepare a few maids for the child.
”
"So I took my own initiative and went to find a maid to serve the child."
Lu Xu nodded. He would not tell Li Changqing about human rights. What's more, if you enter another world, if you really feel uncomfortable, just be nice to others.
He only cares about one question: "Is people trustworthy?"
Luo Yingyan hurriedly walked up and said, "It's trustworthy! Her family has an older brother working in our Longmen Escort Agency. Moreover, her family has a simple population, and there is only one old mother besides her brother. Her old mother also said that if we use it,
It’s okay to ask her daughter to sign a contract.”
Lu Xu sighed: "It's all poor families. In order to have a bite of food, I would rather let my daughter sign a contract."
Li Changqing also said: "Yes! Even if you sign a body contract, you will have no choice but to die, but in this chaotic world, even if you don't sign a body contract, how can you do it by yourself? Instead, you might as well sign a body contract and follow the adults to protect you."
Lu Xu asked, "Then do you think, should I sign this contract or not?"
Li Changqing said: "Of course you have to sign it! If an adult wants to keep that girl by his side, he has to be at ease."
Lu Xu nodded helplessly, and then he turned around and asked the little girl in his arms in a "innocent" tone as possible: "What's your name?"
Compared to Lu Xu's pretending to be innocent, although the girl's voice is slim and sings seem a little precocious: "Yaya has no name, everyone else calls me Yaya, uncle, call me Yaya too."
Listening to the girl's words, Lu Xu felt nervous. Although the old saying goes that poor children are early, a child of two or three years old looks precocious. How can this not make people feel heartbroken?
Thinking of this, Lu Xu could not give up his pretending naive tone. He asked with a smile: "Do you have any relatives in your family?"
The girl said in a silence: "No."
Lu Xu asked again: "Is that okay uncle good to be your relative?"
The girl grabbed Lu Xu's clothes without hesitation: "Okay."
Li Changqing asked, "Sir, are you going to adopt Yaya?"
Lu Xu nodded and said nothing, but he gave Li Changqing a wink. Li Changqing understood it!
Lu Xu's adoption of Yaya has become a foregone conclusion, but Yaya's future identity still has variables.
Lu Xu's meaning is obviously that he hopes to accept Yaya as his adopted daughter, but the adopted daughter and the adopted daughter are also different.
Usually, the relationship between adoptive father and son is more similar to that of Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. In name, these two are also the relationship between adoptive father and adopted son, but Lu Bu still has the surname Lu, and he has never been a member of the Dong family.
Another type of adopted son relationship is similar to the relationship between Mu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang. Mu Ying was originally named Zhu Ying, and his surname was given by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The reason is that after the founding of the country, it was not appropriate for Zhu Ying to have a surname Zhu. Mu Ying didn't know whether he didn't want to or really didn't know his original surname. In short, he just didn't tell Zhu Yuanzhang his original surname.
In addition, Mu Ying said that he was "deeply raising His Majesty and the Queen", so Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the surname Mu.
Mu Ying's words also point out the biggest difference between him and Lu Bu. The difference is not that Mu Ying was raised by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, but that Mu Ying was not only Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, but also Empress Ma's adopted son.
According to folk sayings, Mu Ying is a child recorded in Empress Ma’s name. He is a serious Zhu family. Even if the Zhu family later became a royal family, he is a serious royal relative.
Whether Yaya’s surname will be Lu in the future? Or whether she can become a legitimate Lu family member depends on Wen Yueqi’s attitude.
Under normal circumstances, if the head of the family wants to adopt a son, the mistress of the family will not refuse. Not to mention that the head of the family still accepts an adopted daughter.
It is possible for adopted sons to separate the property, but it is impossible for adopted daughters to separate the property.
However, Wen Yueqi has not given birth yet. Lu Xu is worried that Wen Yueqi may think too much, so Lu Xu still has to ask Wen Yueqi about this.
But no matter what, the adopted daughter was accepted by Lu Xu. On that day, Lu Xu waited until Yaya fell asleep before going back to bed.
Early the next morning, Chang Yao came down to pay a visit to Lu Xu and asked Lu Xu to go to Zuixiang Tower in Qinzhou Prefecture to have a banquet at night. Lu Xu naturally had no reason to refuse.
