This is the house in the middle. There are two similar houses on the east and west sides. The layout is roughly similar, with only slight differences.
Lu Mingyuan was very satisfied with this house. What Lu Zifeng did really surprised him. He would enjoy his son's filial piety at such a young age.
I took my father back to the restaurant in the front yard. Mrs. Qian had already prepared dinner. There were three dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, which was just right for the father and son.
After dinner, the father and son chatted for a while and then went to bed.
The next morning, Lu Zifeng took Lu Mingyuan to see the courtyards on both sides, and then took the satisfied Lu Mingyuan back to Lujia Village.
Seeing the father and son coming back, Yunniang hurried out to greet them. The father and son went out yesterday and came back today, which made her unable to rest well all night. Now that she saw that they came back safely, she finally put her mind at ease.
Seeing his mother like this, Lu Zifeng smiled helplessly.
"Mom, didn't I tell you when I left yesterday? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back yesterday, and I'll probably have to stay in the city for one night."
Yunniang said angrily, "That sounds nice, but how can I not be worried?"
Lu Mingyuan smiled and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry, but I won't do that again."
When Yunniang suddenly heard Lu Mingyuan calling her like that, she was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and her face turned red. She glared at Lu Mingyuan and turned her head away without looking at him.
Lu Zifeng's mouth twitched. Oh my god, how come this old man is so talkative after just going out for a while? Isn't this just showing off their love in front of me?
I shuddered, shook my head and went straight back to the house. I'd better leave quickly. I'm single and can't afford to get hurt for the time being!
After resting for a while, Lu Zifeng went to the old house with the cakes he brought back from the city.
When we arrived at the old house, Uncle Lu Mingshan was not at home. Only the old couple were sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here to see you."
Lu Lancheng saw Lu Zifeng coming and said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, have you bought that farm? How are the farmland?"
"Haha, Grandpa, I've bought it. The fields on the farm are all top-quality fields, a total of 800 acres, including 30 acres of orchards. The fruits will be ripe soon. I thought I would take you and Grandma to see them in a few days."
Xu said, "But it cost a lot of money! I heard that the best land here is ten taels of silver per mu."
Lu Zifeng smiled and nodded when he heard this. "Yes, grandma, I spent a total of 8,200 taels of silver to buy it."
After these words were spoken, old man Lu Lancheng did not react at all, but old lady Xu took a breath, opened her eyes wide, and said in a lost voice.
"Eight thousand two hundred taels of silver?"
Lu Zifeng was amused by the old lady's surprised look.
"Yes, grandma, it's eight thousand two hundred taels of silver, along with rice and fruit that will be harvested soon."
Lu Lancheng nodded and said, "It's a good buy. Although it costs a little more money, we didn't put in any effort to manage the food, did we?"
"Yes, that's why I came to see Grandpa. I hope he can help me with the autumn harvest in a couple of days!"
Lu Lancheng agreed quickly, "Okay, when the time comes, come pick me up and I'll help you harvest the rice and fruits."
Lu Zifeng stayed with the old couple in the old house for the whole morning and went home at noon.
When I got home, I saw Lu Ziyan practicing his swordsmanship with a knife, and Lu Zimo reading a book.
My younger sister was helping her mother cook in the kitchen. The seven-year-old girl was very busy.
It seems that I have to send my two younger brothers to school as soon as possible and cannot delay any longer.
After lunch, Lu Zifeng and Lu Mingyuan talked about Lu Ziyan and Lu Zimo going to school.
When Lu Ziyan heard that he was asked to go to school, he immediately refused. He said that he wanted to be a general and there was no need to follow the literary path.
Lu Mingyuan was so angry that he almost picked up the sole of his shoe to beat him up, but Lu Zifeng stopped him.
"Second brother, do you know that to be a general you need to study first? You have to know that to be a general you have to be able to read maps, and even more so, you have to understand the art of war, and you have to read military books first. How can you learn knowledge and read military books if you don't go to school?"
When Lu Ziyan heard Lu Zifeng say this, he suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Lu Zifeng suspiciously, then looked at his third brother and father.
"Dad, is what big brother said true?"
Lu Mingyuan nodded to indicate that they were both correct.
Lu Zimo said from the side.
"Big brother is right, second brother, you should study hard! If you don't study hard, how can you understand military books?"
Lu Ziyan sat down on the stool and said.
"Dad, I also want to go to school with my third brother."
Lu Mingyuan didn't expect that his son, who had disliked studying since childhood, would now say that he wanted to go to school. It seemed that the eldest brother was really capable and could make this kid ask to go to school on his own.
After the matter was settled, Lu Zifeng talked about letting his mother move to the house in the city with his two younger brothers and sister. One reason was that he could better take care of the lives of his two younger brothers who were in school, and the other was that he had already bought servants and let them live there first to adapt for a while.
Lu Mingyuan nodded. "Alright, we'll have to get used to it sooner or later. Let's go there tomorrow. We'll have to go to the farm to harvest rice and fruit in a few days. This way, they can live in the city, and we can feel at ease when we go to the farm."
Yunniang also knew that her son had bought a house in the provincial capital, but she had not been there yet, so she didn't know how big it was. Now that she heard that he had even bought servants, she was a little overwhelmed.
When Lu Ziyan heard that his family had also bought a servant, he quickly accepted it and looked at Lu Zifeng with shining eyes.
"Brother, are you telling the truth? Then do I have a servant following me?"
Lu Zifeng nodded and said, "Well, not only do you have two servants, but my third brother also has two servants. My younger sister and mother also have two maids to serve us. When we get there, there will be servants to take care of the house. Mother, you don't have to worry too much. There is also a maid to cook for you, and the dishes she cooks are not bad."
The third brother Lu Zimo was still the same, and no expression could be seen on his face. The youngest sister Lu Zixuan was happy and smiling with a rosy face, which was very cute.
It took Yunniang a while to digest Lu Zifeng's words, and now she looked at Lu Mingyuan with a smile.
"You already know everything! Why don't you stop it? How much more money will it cost?"
Lu Mingyuan complained, "To be honest, I only found out yesterday. By the time I found out, he had already made all the arrangements. What else could I do? I had to listen to him!"
Lu Zifeng said hurriedly.
"Mom, please don't worry. I have plenty of money, enough for us to spend. You and my dad just need to enjoy a peaceful life."
