After Lu Lanchen and a few old brothers took a look around, they found that these houses were all similar. Only one house was better, which was a blue brick and tile house, but it was only slightly better.
Finally, they agreed to let Lu Lanchen's family live in this house. After all, Lu Lanchen is the patriarch of the Lu family and now the village chief of Lujia Village. His status is there, so it wouldn't be good for him to be too shabby, right?
The other clan members had no objections. Lu Zifeng's family did not share a house with Grandpa Lu Lancheng and his family. After all, they had already separated before.
Lu Zifeng took the initiative to allocate a small house not far from the village entrance. The house was not big, with only three rooms in the north and two side rooms on each side, which was enough for his family to live in for the time being.
The reason why Lu Zifeng chose this house was that he planned to build a bigger house in the future. There was a lot of space here, so he could build a house with two or three entrances.
Lu Mingshan didn't have any idea. He must live with his parents. The decision was in the hands of his old father, so they all lived in the house in the village near the patriarch's house.
Lu Minglan lived with her second brother Lu Mingyuan's family near the village entrance.
There were two families with money who were planning to build houses at the entrance of the village, so they did not choose it.
During the escape from famine, because of Lu Zifeng's presence, every family in the Lu family had a lot of money, so they didn't feel too bad about building another house.
After two days of busy work, the fields were divided and Lu Zifeng's family bought fifty acres of land.
Mr. Lu Mingshan and Mr. Lu Lancheng bought thirty acres, and Mr. Lu Minglan bought twenty acres.
The remaining 400 acres were divided up among the Lu clan members.
Lu Zifeng naturally looked down upon such a small piece of land. He planned to go to the town or the provincial capital in the next two days to see if he could buy two more farms. He had a lot of silver in his hands, but he also needed to buy some molds and the like to melt the silver and then cast it into silver ingots.
Sitting in the yard at night and looking at the starry sky, Lu Zifeng felt very comfortable. In his previous life, he lived in the end times, and there were fighting and killing every day. He always wondered when he could live a peaceful life in peace and stability. What he didn't expect was that he came to this world.
As soon as I arrived in this world, I encountered a severe drought, followed by war. Now I have finally brought my family to the safe place in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is time for me to have a good rest.
Tomorrow I will go and see if there are any big houses in the capital, buy one, and then buy a few farms. If there are shops, buy a few more shops. Then I will be a small landlord and live a leisurely life. As for carrying forward the family, I will leave it to the second and third sons. One will learn martial arts and become a general in the future, and the other will study hard and take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. I will stay at home to take care of my parents, run a small business, and manage the farm.
Lu Zifeng had beautiful thoughts, but he didn't know that some things did not go according to his wishes.
The next morning, Lu Mingyuan got up and went to the fifty acres of land he bought. It was now early September, and the second season of rice was about to mature. As a farmer, and having experienced three years of severe drought, Lu Mingyuan had an obsession with food. Food was the most important thing at any time.
After breakfast, Lu Zifeng rode his horse to the town, Qinghe Town. He passed by it twice, but Lu Zifeng did not stop and just passed by in a hurry.
After entering Qinghe Town, Lu Zifeng dismounted and led the horse to walk on the street. To be honest, Qinghe Town is indeed a big town on the north-south road. The whole town is shaped like a cross with two streets.
North-South Street is the busiest street, and Qinghe River runs through the middle of the town and flows into Mingjiang River. Although Qinghe River is not wide, there are still many ships coming and going.
Lu Zifeng did not stay in Qinghe Town for long, but left Qinghe Town and headed towards Luzhou Prefecture.
Half an hour later, Lu Zifeng arrived at Luzhou Prefecture, paid the entrance fee, and went straight into a teahouse.
"Oh, sir, you are here. Please come in."
Lu Zifeng looked at the waiter's attentive appearance and nodded without saying anything.
"Are there any private rooms?"
The waiter smiled flatteringly.
"Sir, you've come at the right time. There's a place available. I'll take you there right away."
Lu Zifeng followed the waiter to the second floor. Just as he was about to enter the private room, he heard Situ Hao's voice.
"Why are you here, Brother Feng? Come, come here, let's talk."
Lu Zifeng nodded helplessly and said to the waiter.
"Forget it, I won't go into the private room. I happen to have a friend here."
The waiter naturally wouldn't say anything. Although he didn't know the person who just called this guest, he knew the person in front of him! That person was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
He entered the private room and looked at Situ Hao.
"Are you not planning to return to the capital, my prince? I thought you had already left."
Situ Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I still want to stay here? There is no other way for the time being. Another wave of people came last night, but they were all dealt with by my uncle's secret guards. During this period of time, my uncle does not allow me to leave Luzhou City."
Lu Zifeng heard this and said, "Could it be that he is still the Prince of Qing's man? If so, then this Prince of Qing is a bit too arrogant."
Situ Hao said with a bitter face, "It's hard to be sure now. Maybe someone is using Prince Qing as a pretext to kill me."
Lu Zifeng didn't say much. These royal affairs were really too complicated. He wanted to live longer, so it was better for him to stay out of these royal affairs.
Seeing that Lu Zifeng didn't say anything, Situ Hao also knew what Lu Zifeng meant. He also understood that they were just ordinary people. If they got involved, the whole family would suffer in the end.
"Brother Feng, is there something going on in the city today?"
Speaking of this, Lu Zifeng had nothing to hide, so he told him his plan.
Situ Hao didn't ask in detail. "How about this! I'll have my men ask someone if there's a house for sale. We'll do as you ask. I'll also have them inquire about the manor. Let's have some tea and wine here today."
Lu Zifeng had no objection and agreed immediately. The two stayed in the teahouse until noon. When they were about to say goodbye and go home, they heard a commotion outside the door.
The two looked at each other, walked out of the private room together, and stood on the second-floor corridor looking down.
Seeing two groups of people fighting each other below, Situ Hao took a look below, frowned immediately, shook his head helplessly, and said to the servant beside him.
"Go down and tell the young master that if he continues to fight, he will be put in solitary confinement tonight."
Lu Zifeng glanced at the young man below who was shouting that he wanted to break someone's legs, and asked with a smile.
"That's the prefect's child, right? He's so arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, Situ Hao glared at Lu Zifeng and said, "Don't laugh at me. This guy is sixteen years old and still so childish." He shook his head after saying that.
