The evil deeds of the time traveler who plagiarized poetry
In front of Lu Xin's family of three, Liu Buqi called Bai Jinjing to his side and learned that the soldier arranged to deliver the message had not set off yet.
He ordered her to take Zhang Xiruo and Lu Qinghou directly to Desheng Tavern and arrange for Zhu Caicai and Lu Qinghou, who came into the city as businessmen, to meet with several other grain merchants!
Lu Qinghou was also a man who did things efficiently and effectively. He took Bai and Zhang and said goodbye and left.
Liu Buqi chatted with Lu Xin and his wife about family matters, and learned a lot of embarrassing stories about Yue Lingxi's childhood from Jiang. She enjoyed the feeling of family reunion, which she had never experienced before.
After noon, Lu Qinghou and the other two returned to the mansion.
"My sister-in-law's subordinate is truly formidable. With just a few words, he crushed those profiteers who were taking advantage of the situation to raise prices! He's definitely a veteran with many years of experience in the business world! This deal was a brilliant one!"
After learning from Lu Qinghou that Zhu Caicai had finalized a deal for enough military rations to last Youzhou for another three months, Liu Buqi breathed a sigh of relief and explained the situation to Lu Xin.
"Master Zhu is the Deputy Minister of Commerce at the Youzhou Commander-in-Chief's Office. He is indeed one of the most powerful merchants in Youzhou! He is also the owner of the Desheng Tavern!"
Lü Qinghou had long recognized Zhu Caicai's identity as a businessman, but he never imagined that a businessman could actually be an official! Even Lü Xin and Jiang sat up straight after hearing this!
"Can merchants in Youzhou also become officials?" It was still Jiang who asked, but her eyes kept glancing towards Lu Qinghou.
No merchant in Taiyue can resist the opportunity of escaping from the business status while possessing an official status!
"Originally, it was not allowed, but the Youzhou Commander-in-Chief is not a permanent position, and subordinate officials in the government can be appointed according to the circumstances."
"Except for a few generals who already held official positions in the imperial court and had ranks, positions like the Commercial and Medical Commissioners, like Lao Zhu, were unrelated and lacked specific ranks."
"However, although there is no rank, it is indeed a real official status."
Liu Buqi's explanation made Lu Xin's family suddenly feel that an unprecedented huge opportunity was right in front of them!
Although Lu Xin and Jiang could imagine that Yue Lingxi must be very different now and have great power.
But he had never realized before that he already had enough power to easily promote businessmen to become officials!
It’s no wonder that they have limited knowledge. Apart from the lucky Zhu Caicai, there have been few people throughout history who have been able to hold important positions as businessmen!
Our ancestor almost spent all of his wealth that was enough to rival a country before he could barely get an official position. After hundreds of years of continuation, the Lu family has achieved its current glory!
As for why Liu Buqi took the initiative to bring up this topic, it was entirely because the bond of family affection, although precious, is definitely not unbreakable!
In the face of enormous interests, the possibility of family ties being shaken is even greater! At least in Liu Buqi's cognition, in his previous life, he would see brothers and sisters, and even parents and children, suing in court almost every day on the Internet!
Providing benefits that others cannot provide and providing a double insurance for Yue Lingxi's family relationship may be the greatest protection that Liu Buqi, an orphan, can give him!
…
After solving the urgent problem, Liu Buqi said goodbye to Lu Xin and his wife in the afternoon and returned to the Lu family's ancestral home again!
If we want to completely stabilize the smooth flow of Youzhou's food supply channels, it is unrealistic to rely on a few small businesses. Only by completely binding the Lu family to the chariot of Youzhou can the problem be solved once and for all!
Now that the business owner, Mr. Lu, has already sided with him, the key to the Lu family's game still lies with the official Mr. Lu!
The danger in the backyard of a mansion is no less than fighting on the battlefield!
As soon as Liu Buqi entered the door, she was called over by Qin. After being scolded, she was sent to the school where the women in the clan learned women's virtues and needlework, and was strictly ordered not to leave easily again!
Liu Buqi, who has watched at least dozens of TV dramas about palace fighting and inner house affairs, considers himself to be "experienced" in how to survive and develop in the inner house.
But I didn’t expect that I would have to undergo needlework training right away. This is definitely not something that any movie or TV show can teach!
In just three short days, I couldn't count how many times I had been scolded by the female teacher!
There is no way that a successful person like me who traveled through time and space could learn embroidery and knitting in just three days. This is simply too difficult!
Seeing that Liu Buqi started to lose focus again, the female teacher hit her on the head with the ruler in her hand without any hesitation. Although the blow did not cause much damage, it was extremely insulting!
The other ladies, young ladies, concubines, and a bunch of young girls and wives from the various rooms in the Lu Mansion burst into laughter!
The middle-aged female teacher taught Liu Buqi earnestly that needlework is the most useful skill in the future in the rear house!
Especially for a concubine like her, if she has a pair of dexterous hands, the future mistress will look upon her with more respect and her life will be much easier!
Liu Buqi, who was already exhausted by needlework, could no longer bear the "teachings" that she had almost heard so many times in the past few days!
I can’t stand it anymore!
He squinted his eyes and suddenly grabbed the ruler that was about to hit him again.
"A heroic figure holds a five-foot spear, and the dawn shines on the military training ground. The sons and daughters of Youzhou have great ambitions, and prefer weapons rather than red dresses." A plagiarized verse adapted from a poem by a great man in the previous life came out of the woman's mouth, leaving the female teacher stunned!
It even shocked the women in the Lu family who were somewhat literate!
After all, women in this era did not stay in their rooms and never go out. Although there were not many female eunuchs and female top scorers in the imperial examinations, they were definitely not rare!
Even the Lu family had produced one or two female censors! Liu Buqi's expression of her aspirations in poetry was inconsistent with her status as a concubine!
But writing poems to suit the occasion and express one's aspirations is precisely the most sought-after behavior of literati and scholars in this era!
The female teacher could no longer hit the student with her ruler. Instead, she pondered over this straightforward poem over and over again. The more she read, the more profound its aftertaste she found.
Some of it even reflected on her past experiences. She couldn't continue with the next lesson! After a long sigh, the female teacher left the classroom and went away alone in sorrow!
Liu Buqi was somewhat puzzled. He was glad to finish the get out of class early and returned to his residence happily. He never thought that the poem he plagiarized had caused an uproar in Lu's residence!
"A heroic figure holds a five-foot spear, and the dawn light shines on the military training ground. The children of Youzhou have great ambitions, and prefer to be armed rather than dressed in red..." Is this really a poem written by that little girl?
Lu Ren asked Qin repeatedly, seeming a little bit unbelievable!
"The rumor has spread in the inner chambers. It's said that Mr. Han was so angry that he skipped class and left on his own! I don't think there's anything special about this poem! It's not necessary for my husband to personally investigate, right?"
The somewhat confused Qin and the pensive Lu Ren formed a sharp contrast!
My wife comes from a merchant family and is related to Lu Shi, who is in charge of the business family. Naturally, she does not know the principle of "poetry expresses one's aspirations".
Judging from the tip of the iceberg, if a concubine can have such ambitions, what kind of ambitions will his adopted nephew who comes from a royal family have?
It seems that I need to think carefully about how to deal with that matter!
