Chapter 72 Scarce Talent
Chapter 72
As soon as the morning court was over, the news that the Lu family possessed a golden medal of immunity from death spread throughout the government offices.
The Qin family was quite surprised when they heard the news, and felt that the Lu family was really a hidden talent.
But the Qin family just listened to it and didn't have any thoughts. After all, their Qin family had been loyal for generations and had guarded the border with trepidation. Even if they made mistakes in the future, their military merits would be enough to offset them. They didn't have any thoughts of treason, so there was no need for this.
"Your father-in-law is really awesome." Qin Sanlang's focus was different from others.
Qin Sheng nodded, it was indeed quite impressive.
Qin Heng had assisted his father in commanding the army for many years, managing positions both large and small. He knew that the best position was the one that suited his abilities. Only by excelling in a position could one flourish, like their father-in-law.
Although Qin Heng wasn't in the court, he saw clearly that the Xie and Zhao families were currently praising him, and the next move would be a killing blow. Not only did he not fall for their inducements, he also threw their bait to a third party, throwing the Xie and Zhao families' plans into chaos.
Qin Heng explained his interpretation in detail to his two younger brothers.
Qin Sanlang thought about the recent achievements of this father and daughter and hissed. What's wrong with this Lu family father and daughter? Each one is so powerful.
Qin Sanlang was also puzzled. Why didn't the Xie family want such a powerful daughter-in-law and father-in-law? What made the Zhao family superior to the Lu family? Was it just because the Zhao family was a long-standing official family with more assets, connections, and people than the Lu family?
But the Xie family itself is also an aristocratic family, and they don't lack these things. Having them is icing on the cake, and not having them is not a big deal. On the contrary, talents like the Lu family father and daughter are hard to find in Dali. They are rare talents and are a perfect match for the Xie family.
Of course, the Lu family and their Qin family are also a good match.
"You have to be more considerate of your wife in the future." Qin Sanlang patted his younger brother's shoulder. He could already foresee the scene where Xiaoliu was being dominated by his wife. He just wished him good luck.
An old fox and a little fox. Did his little Liu disturb the fox's den?
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at his third brother. God knows what kind of mess was going through his mind.
Although Qin Heng didn't say anything, he was looking forward to the children that his younger brother and his future sister-in-law would have in the future.
Lu family
As soon as Lu Desheng returned home, he was once again warmly welcomed by his wife and children.
The little girl and son invited him to sit down, served him tea and water, rubbed his shoulders and back, and walked around him.
Lu Desheng felt happy as he drank hot tea.
Mrs. Jiang, who was standing by, saw her husband's smug face and shook her head helplessly.
"Dad, well done!" After Lu Songli and her brother Lu Mingzhi served her father good food and drink, they began to praise him.
Her compliment was sincere. If you don't believe me, just look at her sincere eyes. And her father was truly formidable. The Xie family was using a heavy bait to lure her father in, right? The bait was simply snatched away and eaten! Her father's move had effectively cost the Xie family their position as the Supreme Court Justice!
Her father's ability to seize opportunities and act according to circumstances was exceptional. In comparison, Xie Mingtang, the head of the Xie family, was much less capable than her father.
His daughter's exclamation made Lu Desheng feel proud. He stroked his sparse beard and raised the corner of his mouth. "You ruined one of Zhao Wenkuan's sons, so as a father, I can't be too bad."
After saying this, he hesitated and said, "Our family's golden medal of immunity from death has been discovered by others."
"If you know, then you know." Lu Songli didn't care. The Queen Mother knew that their family had obtained the golden medal of immunity from death, and she would never allow it to remain hidden in the Lu family and become their life-saving talisman. It was only a matter of time before it became widely known. Besides, it was a good opportunity to speak out, which would show Emperor Kangcheng's generosity and benevolence. Otherwise, the emperor would be in trouble.
When Lu Mingzhi heard this topic, he was confused at first. When did his family get a gold medal of immunity from death? When he heard the end, he found out that his family really did have a gold medal of immunity from death. Then he was amazed. His father was so amazing that he actually got this thing in just six months.
Jiang glanced at her husband and daughter, pulled him over, and whispered to him the whole story of the golden medal of immunity from death.
Lv Mingzhi: What did his father say about his second sister? She's awakened? In his opinion, his second sister's awakening is quite a bit!
Lu Mingzhi now knew that his family wasn't just about his father, but also his second sister! He couldn't hide his admiration for her any more. Later, when Lu Songli returned to Xiaofeng Courtyard, he followed her all the way.
As the family was talking, Manager Chen came in and said that the Yao family had sent them something - a small mahogany box.
Lu Desheng took it with one hand, opened it, and discovered the Yao family had sent him a box of jewelry. He counted them, and there were six pieces. There were also three thousand taels of silver notes in the compartments of the box. All in all, the value was around five thousand taels. He had helped by speaking up, opening the way for Yao Songwen to secure the position of Dali Temple Minister. The Yao family was quite generous.
If the Yao family gave the money, they would no longer owe the Lu family any favors. The Yao family knew her father's attitude from the moment he refused to drink with them after leaving the court, so they had to show their support.
Lu Songli felt that now that the goods and money had been paid, it was pretty good.
Lü Desheng found this very strange. He used to be in charge of killing people but not burying them, so few people gave him money afterwards.
As for offers of bribes to him, asking him to help bring someone down, he refused them all. He was a bohemian and unruly person, unwilling to obey anyone except the emperor. In court, he would criticize whoever the emperor told him to criticize, and when the emperor didn't give him any orders, he would criticize whoever he wanted to criticize. He was just that willful.
As a result, his colleagues avoided him and naturally no one would give him any benefits.
The Lu family's sources of income, besides the imperial salary, included the profits from the Jiang family's shop sales over the years, as well as occasional gifts from the emperor. Compared to the other censors in the Censorate who were paid to perform their duties, Lu Desheng's income was not much.
The next day, Lu Desheng brought all these into the palace and handed them all to Emperor Kang Cheng. Then he looked at him eagerly, as if he hoped the emperor would reward him.
Emperor Kang Cheng looked at it and nodded. The Yao family was quite sensible. Turning around and seeing Lu Desheng's expression, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Just keep the banknotes. How could I be short of money?"
Lu Desheng immediately put the box into his arms happily. He took it back the same way he brought it in. Perfect, he made a profit!
