Lu Zifeng and Situ Yi did not delay in front of the gate, but took Situ Yi into the mansion.
Situ Yi looked at the house and said, "Brother Feng, this house is not bad. Although it is not very big, it is not bad!"
Hearing Situ Yi say this, Lu Zifeng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I can tell at first glance that you're a person who doesn't care about worldly things. You know? When we first arrived in Luzhou Prefecture, we had limited money, and we didn't want to be too ostentatious. What's more, the mansions in the south of the Yangtze River are all so small and exquisite, and they don't have the grandeur of the northern ones."
"But you've also seen that the mansions in the south of the Yangtze River are much more elegant than those in the north. Also, you can't live in a house as big as you want. In this world, there are only imperial palaces and princes' mansions."
Situ Yi agreed with what Lu Zifeng said. He had just said it casually, and of course he knew about the regulatory issues.
After entering the mansion, Lu Zifeng learned about what had happened during this period and found that nothing serious had happened, so he felt relieved. The only thing that made him curious was that his uncle Lu Mingshan had such a good luck in love.
"Are you saying that my uncle has recently shown some interest in the woman from the Lin family who divorced and returned home?"
When Lu Zifeng heard Chang Lin say this, he was also a little surprised. For more than ten years, his uncle had been unwilling to get married because of what happened in the past, but now he has fallen in love with a woman. However, this is also a good thing. At least if his grandparents who are still in Beijing knew about it, they would definitely be very happy.
"Well, I know about this. I will write a letter to inform my grandparents in the capital. So, is your uncle living in Lujia Village now?"
"Yes, Master. The Master and that woman from the Lin family have actually met at my aunt's house. From what I've seen, it seems that all the elders in the clan are in favor of this."
After hearing this, Lu Zifeng understood that several elders in the clan were also involved!
After asking Chang Lin to clean up Lu Ziyan's yard for Situ Yi to stay in, Lu Zifeng began to take a bath.
After washing up, he had dinner with Situ Yi and then rested. After staying on the boat for a few days, to be honest, he felt really uncomfortable. The weather was getting hot, and the weather in Jiangnan was still very humid, which made the two people who grew up in the north very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lu Zifeng had lived here for a period of time, and it was much better than Situ Yi.
Early the next morning, Situ Yi was still sleeping when Lu Zifeng woke him up. The reason was naturally that neither of them had gotten up to practice martial arts during the time they were on the boat. Why didn't they get up to practice martial arts? First, the space on the boat was not big, and second, it was a blessing for two northern landlubbers not to get seasick on the boat, so how could they practice martial arts on the boat?
Because the weather was hot, the two of them sweated profusely after practicing martial arts. After taking a shower, they ate.
After dinner, the two of them started riding their horses and heading towards Lujia Village with the servant.
Lujia Village was not far from the capital of Luzhou Prefecture. A quarter of an hour later, the two arrived at Lujia Village. When they were near the entrance of the village, Situ Yi saw the best house in Lujia Village.
"Hey, Brother Feng, do you see that house up ahead? It's very well built. It really embodies the Jiangnan scenery of small bridges and flowing water."
Lu Zifeng smiled.
"This is my family's house. It was built by a famous local craftsman, and my father personally supervised its construction."
Situ Yi was very curious after hearing this, and he never expected that Lu Mingyuan would personally supervise the construction.
"I didn't expect Marquis Cheng'en to be so talented. However, I heard that although your father has read some books, it seems that he didn't read much. Of course, I don't look down on him, I'm just a little surprised."
Of course Lu Zifeng knew what he meant and smiled.
"My father's circumstances didn't allow him to study, but he actually has quite a bit of talent. He's currently studying and preparing to take the Tongsheng exam next year!"
As the two were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the house. The gate servant came out when he heard the voices and just saw Lu Zifeng and Situ Yi dismounting from their horses. He quickly ran out and knelt down to say something.
"The eldest master is back. I'd like to greet you."
Lu Zifeng didn't expect that this servant was the same one he had bought that time and still remembered him. He smiled.
"Get up, is your aunt still in the mansion?"
The servant said, "A few days ago, the aunt and her family just moved back to their previous courtyard. The master tried to persuade them to stay, but to no avail."
Lu Zifeng frowned when he heard this.
"Do you know why?"
The servant shook his head. "I don't know, and neither the aunt nor the master will tell me!"
Lu Zifeng waved his hand to let him go, then said to Situ Yi.
"Which way to go? Let's go in and take a look first."
At this time, Lu Mingshan had also received the news that his eldest nephew had returned. He was eating in the house and walked towards the main gate. As soon as he reached the second door, he saw Lu Zifeng walking in with a young man.
"Oh, Brother Feng, you didn't even tell me you were back. Why did you come back so suddenly? Could it be that your grandparents...?"
Lu Zifeng naturally heard Lu Mingshan's worry and smiled.
"Uncle, it's okay. I was just out on business and passed by our Luzhou Prefecture, so I thought of coming back to see you and my aunt's family. Don't worry, grandpa and grandma are in good health."
Hearing Lu Zifeng say this, Lu Mingshan felt relieved. He was really worried that something might have happened to his parents.
"Have you had breakfast? How about I ask the kitchen to make you some?"
"No need, uncle, we've just had dinner here, don't worry about us, just go and do whatever you want!"
Seeing that Lu Zifeng was so persistent, Lu Mingshan ignored him. After all, this was his home and there was no need to treat him like a guest. After saying hello to Lu Zifeng and Situ Yi, he went back to eat. He was also hungry, so he got up early in the morning and went to the farm. He was busy until now before eating.
It turned out that this period was the summer harvest season. Lu Mingshan was managing the Lu family's farm and his own dozens of acres of land, so he was very busy. Therefore, he did not bother to be polite with Lu Zifeng.
After Lu Mingshan finished his meal, Lu Zifeng asked his aunt why her family moved out of the house.
Lu Mingshan had no choice but to tell Lu Zifeng the reason for the incident. After listening to his uncle's explanation, Lu Zifeng finally understood why his aunt wanted to move out of the house and return to her own house.
To be honest, Lu Zifeng very much agreed with his aunt's choice. It was not that he disliked his cousin Qi Yan, but that this was how the society was. No matter how noble his family was, they were only relatives of the Qi family. They could help them get rich, but they could not bring them a rise in status.
They are just in-laws of the Cheng'en Marquisate.
