Chang Lin was very fast and arranged the carriage in just a quarter of an hour. Lu Mingshan got on the carriage from the back door without saying a word and headed towards Lujia Village.
Chang Lin arranged several guards to escort Lu Mingshan to Lujia Village. Since Lu Zifeng and his family went to the capital, all the properties that Lu Zifeng had purchased in Luzhou Prefecture were handed over to Lu Mingshan to manage. Originally, Lu Mingshan was just a farmer and was quite familiar with the crops on the farm. As for the winery and business matters, he was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, Chang Lin was there to help, and he was back on track in just a few months.
Lujia Village was not far from Luzhou Prefecture. The carriage arrived at Lujia Village in just half an hour. When the villagers saw Lu Mingshan coming back, they all greeted him happily. After this period of experience, Lu Mingshan had become quite eloquent. While greeting his fellow villagers, he returned to his own house in the village.
I just got home and before I even entered the door, I saw Lu Minglan walking out of the yard.
"Brother, you're back?"
When Lu Mingshan saw the girl coming out of his house, he was not surprised, but smiled.
"Well, I just came back from the farm over there yesterday, so I came back to take a look."
As they were talking, the two returned to the yard again, and Lu Minglan looked at Lu Mingshan.
"Brother, were you scared by the matchmaker coming to your house recently?"
After hearing what Lu Minglan said, Lu Mingshan was indeed a little embarrassed. After all, she was his sister after all.
"Yeah, it's annoying me to death."
Lu Minglan smiled and said.
"Brother, it's been so many years since the incident, and the former Kang family has been gone for so many years. You have to find someone to live with, otherwise what will you do when you get old?"
"Now, no one knows where Ziyi has gone. You said she was disobedient and followed her husband's family to where no one knows. You told them to come to Luzhou Prefecture, but after asking for so long, there is no news."
After hearing this, Lu Mingshan lowered his head helplessly and said nothing. When he was preparing to flee the famine, he went to his daughter's house, but his in-laws said they were going to Jiangnan, but not Luzhou Prefecture, and they were going to follow their clansmen, so it was not convenient for his daughter to follow him.
However, after this separation, there has been no news of his daughter. However, there is nothing he can do about it. Since his daughter is married, she belongs to her husband's family and naturally has to flee with him. This is why Lu Mingshan did not take his daughter with him.
"Then keep asking, you'll find out eventually." This was the only way Lu Mingshan could say to comfort himself.
In a blink of an eye, it had been three days since Lu Mingshan returned to Lujia Village. On this day, when he had nothing to do, Lu Mingshan went to a farm next to Lujia Village. This was the farm that Lu Zifeng bought from Lin Yuqi. The farm was not very big, with only about three hundred acres of land. It was the sacrificial field of the Lu family and was considered the public property of the family. The income from the sacrificial field was used to pay for the children's education in the family. In addition, if any family was having a hard time, they could apply for some food to survive.
Lu Mingshan came to the farm to look at the crops. Seeing the crops growing well, Lu Mingshan smiled. This farm is managed by the clan leader and the clan members work together.
It was hot at this time and there were few people in the fields. Lu Mingshan came alone to rest under a big tree. While he was sitting there, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a carriage coming towards this direction, followed by four guards, all riding horses with long swords hanging from their waists.
Lu Mingshan was very curious. Logically, this place belonged to Lujia Village, and this farm had been bought by his eldest nephew and given to the clan a year ago. There was no other family around here that owned land here, right?
After thinking about it, Lu Mingshan quickly stood up and went towards the carriage. No matter what, he couldn't be impolite.
He walked to a distance of ten feet from the carriage, stopped, and clasped his fists.
"I wonder who you are, and what brings you to Lujia Village?"
After the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old came out. She was dressed in a maid's clothes. The maid glanced at Lu Mingshan and did not say anything. Instead, she turned around and helped a woman in her thirties get off the carriage.
When Lu Mingshan saw that it was a woman, he didn't know what to do and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Lin Yulian was also bored today and wanted to go out of town for a walk. After leaving the city, she remembered that she used to have a small farm nearby. Although the farm has been sold now, she still wanted to come and take a look.
When she saw this man, she knew he must be the one who bought her farm. But what puzzled her was that her brother had said that the person who bought her farm should be a teenager! But the man in front of her looked to be at least forty years old.
But on second thought, this might be the young man's elder or the servant who manages the farm at home! Thinking of this, Lin Yulian no longer bothered about it.
"Don't be offended, big brother. This farm used to belong to me, but I sold it a year ago. I was out of town this time and wanted to come over for a stroll. I apologize for disturbing you."
When Lu Mingshan heard the woman in front of him say this, he understood. He thought that the woman in front of him should be a member of the Lin family, the richest family in Luzhou Prefecture. He smiled and said.
"No problem. Since the former owner of Zhuangzi is here, he can take a look around."
Because of the differences between men and women, Lu Mingshan couldn't stay here any longer, so he planned to go back and ask his sister Lu Minglan to come and greet him. After a few words, he said goodbye and left.
"Madam, this man is so rude! Now that he is the owner of the manor, he actually left his guests here alone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is because she knows how to behave. Even though you and the guards are here, there are still differences between men and women. It's not easy for me to be alone with him. What's more, I'm a woman who has returned home after a divorce. She knows how to behave when she leaves."
After hearing what the lady said, the little maid stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and said nothing more.
Here Lu Mingshan returned to the village and went directly to Lu Minglan's house.
Lu Minglan was still very curious and looked at the big sun above her head.
"Brother, something's up. Why is it out in the sun?"
Lu Mingshan didn't waste any words. He told his sister that he went out for a stroll and met the former owner of the manor who came to visit. He thought that since he was a man, it would be inconvenient, so he wanted to greet them to avoid being impolite.
After hearing this, Lu Minglan knew that her elder brother was right, so she agreed. After packing up, she headed towards the farm.
Lin Yulian was standing under a big tree to enjoy the cool air. She came here not to check on the crops, but to relax. Now that she was divorced and returned home, it would be bad for her reputation if she told others about it, so she naturally had no friends in Luzhou Prefecture.
