Lu Tu invited Uncle Fu to sit down and instructed A Qiao and Ling Dang, "Please make more breakfast so we can all eat together."
Aqiao and Lingdang were flattered and waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "It's no trouble at all, it's what we should do."
Lu Tu didn't go to the city wall construction site early today. After all, last night was his wedding night. He had been fighting for months, so what was wrong with taking a break?
While waiting for the meal, Uncle Fu finally couldn't help but pull Lü Tu aside and ask curiously, "Sir, which room did you stay in last night?"
Lu Tu knew exactly what he wanted to ask, and nodded, "Yes."
"Could it be?"
"Just like you think, the five of us slept on one kang (heated brick bed)."
Uncle Fu almost blurted out the words "disrespectful to scholars," but then he thought that it was normal for young people to have more fun, especially since she was a properly married woman. It was not his place as an old man to interfere. So he reluctantly nodded and said, "Fine, fine."
Lu Tu laughed and said, "I know what you mean. I will definitely build more houses in the future. After all, I am a man. Building ancestral homes is every man's obsession."
Hearing this, Uncle Fu finally smiled and said, "That's good. I'm not questioning you, Lord Ha. I just think that even if you have multiple wives, you can't sleep with them all every night. Your health can't handle it! Why not follow the example of other wealthy families and flip through the dishes every night..."
Lu Tu thought to himself, "Who do they think they are? He's young and strong, and he can hit a willow leaf from a hundred paces away. So what if there are 14 of them, let alone 4?"
But Lu Tu knew that his skill in harmonizing Yin and Yang was entirely due to Song Yuxi, especially Song Yuxi's family's unique method, which not only brought Lu Tu physical and mental pleasure every time, but also restored his physical strength, which was simply a miracle. However, he could not tell outsiders like Uncle Fu about this.
"Uncle Fu, I've taken your suggestion. Once the exterior construction is finished, I'll build a few more rooms. You can move in then and help me manage the household."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu beamed and said, "Hey, I'm just a restless, hardworking person. These past few days I've wanted to go to work, but they won't let me. I want to go farm, but I've spent my whole life working for the Wang family and I don't know how to farm. I'm almost a useless person!"
Lu Tu could understand this feeling very well. It was like many old comrades in the previous life who, after retiring, couldn't find anything to do for a while and felt like they had been eliminated by society, which gave them a strange sense of inferiority.
“I’ll give you whatever you used to earn each month, since we’ll be having more and more people in the future anyway.”
Uncle Fu had a sudden inspiration: "Sir, since that's the case, why don't I ask Miss to move all the family's belongings from Wuchuan City here? It's not safe to leave them in the city anyway, after all, you've seen the current situation, it's chaotic!"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Tu shook his head: "You have to ask her. I can't offer my opinion on this matter."
Uncle Fu gave Lu Tu a thumbs up: "Lord Lu is truly meticulous in his work!"
After breakfast, Wang Miaoling called Lü Tu into the room, where the others were also present.
In front of everyone, Wang Miaoling suggested, "Husband, Uncle Fu just talked to me and said that since we are already married, we should follow each other wherever we go. At first, I wanted everyone to stay at my place in Wuchuan City, but then I thought that would make it easy for people to gossip about you, which is not good."
Lu Tu was so touched that he couldn't help but kiss her forehead again: "Miaoling, you've grown up, you even think about me now."
Wang Miaoling had only seen this side of Lü Tu yesterday, and was clearly not fully used to it yet. Her face was still flushed with embarrassment as she said, "It was Uncle Fu who reminded me. It seems I should think more about my husband in the future!"
"So I plan to hire someone to go back to Wuchuan and move all the belongings and silver stored at home here, otherwise we might be robbed! Besides, we are going through a lot of trouble right now, and I think we have a lot of places where we need money. This amount of money is just right."
Song Yuxi took her hand: "This is your dowry, little sister, how can you use it?"
For the first time, Wang Miaoling retorted to Song Yuxi, "But I heard that my husband is using Sister Xiaoyu's dowry, so why can't he use mine?"
Lu Tu felt ashamed after hearing this. He never dreamed that he, a former king of soldiers in the Dragon Kingdom, would end up with women rushing to spend money on him. But despite his thoughts, he still felt pretty good about it!
Nangong Huiyu chuckled. Her money, to put it nicely, was her dowry; to put it bluntly, it was stolen by Lü Tu and his men. But right now, she couldn't expose Lü Tu.
"That's right, I think Sister Miaoling is right. We're all family, why should we distinguish between you and me?"
Seeing Wang Miaoling's generosity, and considering that she and Lü Tu had inevitably been intimate with each other the night before, Jiang Wanyu felt a significant reduction in their competitive pressure.
She took out the calligraphy scroll again: "Since we're short of money, let's pawn this piece."
Lu Tudeng immediately stood up and refused, saying, "No way! This calligraphy is so valuable. Not to mention that it's priceless, who in our Wuchuan City can afford it? The key point is that bringing this thing out right now might do more harm than good!"
Song Yuxi also laughed and said, "I think the only person in Wuchuan City who can afford this 'Letter of Mourning and Chaos' is our Miaoling."
Everyone knows that the Wang family is the richest family in Wuchuan City. Their wealth is truly astonishing, an amount that ordinary people dare not even imagine. After all, one can tell from the fruits that Wang Miaoling eats every day.
Despite being in the northern border region, Wu Chuan was still able to enjoy citrus fruits transported from the south. In the Great Yu Dynasty, where transportation capabilities were extremely poor, this was something that ordinary people could hardly even dream of.
Wang Miaoling took a key from her neck and gently placed it in Lü Tu's hand: "Husband, go directly to my boudoir, use this key to open the hidden compartment on the bed, and take out the things inside. As for the other things, take as much as you can from the storeroom."
Lu Tu nodded with satisfaction: "I love you, baby."
"Ah?" Faced with Lü Tu's sudden sweet words, Wang Miaoling buried her head in her snow-white chest in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Song Yuxi couldn't help but laugh: "Husband, since your sister asked you to bring the dowry, you should set off as soon as possible, bring enough people with you, and be careful on the road. It's better to be early than late."
Lu Tu nodded: "Okay, but I need to find someone to come with us. Lin San, who came with us the other day, should be familiar with the things inside the house, right?"
“He understands. Lin San is shrewd, so having him along will make things much more convenient.”
Lu Tu held the golden spear in his hand, and before leaving, he turned back to look at the group: "Ladies, rest well at home, and don't fight, okay? I'll bring you candied hawthorns!"
They then went out and summoned Nie Yun and Liu Hong, ordered 100 soldiers and ten oxcarts, and set off towards Wuchuan.
Such a grand and elaborate operation to move the wife's family's gold and silver is probably unprecedented in the entire Wuchuan region!
