Since the family recognition banquet, Lu Zifeng's family has been completely integrated into the capital. Because of the presence of the Queen Mother and Princess Jing, no one in the capital dares to look down on the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, and they are not discriminated against because of their farming family background. Of course, whether anyone secretly thinks so is unknown. Lu Mingyuan can read, but has no official title. The Queen means that he is only in his thirties, and he should read more books when he has nothing to do, find a good teacher to teach him, and then take the imperial examination after a while.
Lu Mingyuan originally felt that he was too old and it was a bit late to take the imperial examination, but he was finally persuaded by Lu Zifeng and was studying at home during this period.
Lu Zifeng was still on duty. He had just finished his shift when he received a visiting card from Nan Shaoqing, saying that he would visit his master the next day.
When Lu Zifeng received his visiting card, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It said that he was visiting his master, but they had agreed at that time that he was not going to become his disciple. He was just going to teach him a set of spear techniques. Besides, the age difference between them was not that big. When he heard him call himself master, not only did Nan Shaoqing say that it would be awkward, but Lu Zifeng was very uncomfortable anyway.
Because Nan Shaoqing was going to visit the next day, Lu Zifeng took a leave and stayed at home.
Lu Zifeng usually stayed in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for a period of time, and spent the rest of the time in the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion. Anyway, he had his own separate courtyards on both sides.
Now the four personal servants Lu Chun and Lu Xia are guarding the courtyard at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. When Lu Zifeng goes there, they will serve him. Lu Qiu and Lu Dong are guarding the Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion.
Early the next morning, Lu Ziyan, who had just finished practicing martial arts, ran over.
"Brother, is Shaoqing coming today?"
Lu Zifeng was wiping his Overlord Spear without even raising his head.
"You are going to the academy today."
When Lu Ziyan heard what his elder brother said, he immediately lost his spirit and said helplessly.
"Brother, you know I don't like studying. Why should I study when you don't? I don't need to take the imperial examinations or be like my father."
Lu Zifeng put down the Overlord Spear and looked at Lu Ziyan, "So father didn't let you study with him. He only took your third brother with him, not you!"
"But you must read more. I prepared so many military books for you. Have you finished reading them?"
Hearing about reading military books, Lu Ziyan immediately became full of energy. He came up to Lu Zifeng and told him what he thought when reading the military books. After listening to Lu Ziyan's words, Lu Zifeng had to say that his second brother was quite capable. If there was a war in the future, he could take the boy to the battlefield to see it.
"Alright, let your little Si go to the academy and ask for leave! Come meet Nan Shaoqing with me later. Fortunately, you two can be considered classmates, right?"
When Lu Ziyan heard that his elder brother agreed, he immediately became happy and left the yard to ask for leave from his servant.
Lu Zifeng always thought that the person who came today was Nan Shaoqing himself, but who knew that he actually brought his two cousins with him. He didn’t write that in his post yesterday!
Now it seems that this kid is a little dishonest, but these things are not a big deal to Lu Zifeng, so he did not care about it. Instead, he let them follow Lu Ziyan to Lu Ziyan's yard, and only left Nan Shaoqing behind.
"Tell me, what's the matter? Let me make it clear first, don't talk about me learning martial arts and becoming a disciple."
Nan Shaoqing's smiling face suddenly collapsed. Looking at Nan Shaoqing's expression, Lu Zifeng sneered in his heart.
"It seems the Nan family is a bit too accommodating. Do they really think their rejection a while ago was fake? They still want Young Master Nan to act as their lobbyist?"
"Master, you really can't teach my two cousins martial arts?"
Lu Zifeng glanced at Nan Shaoqing with a smile.
"What about this matter? I guess your grandfather and father don't know about it. If they knew, they would definitely stop you from bringing them to me."
Nan Shaoqing looked at Lu Zifeng in surprise, "Master, how did you know?"
Lu Zifeng said with a look of disappointment.
"Go out and ask around. Martial arts like mine are rare, but they're not uncommon either. It's a great honor for me to be able to teach one person from your Nan family. But now you're still dreaming of having two more people learn your martial arts. That's wishful thinking, okay? If they come looking for you again, go find your grandfather and see what he says."
After hearing what Lu Zifeng said, Nan Shaoqing felt even more embarrassed. He knew that he had made another big mistake.
Although he secretly hated his two cousins for harming him, he hated himself even more for being so stupid. How could he have been tricked into coming here by those two with just a few words?
"Master, I was wrong. I will take them back now."
Lu Zifeng waved his hand. "That's not the case yet. They are in Yan'er's yard now. Go ahead! I won't entertain you any more. I'm going to go to the lower farm to pick up my grandfather."
What Lu Zifeng said was not an excuse, but a true story. Some time ago, the farm was busy with spring planting. Lu Lancheng and Xu were bored at home, so they took a few servants to the farm. Yesterday afternoon, news came from the farm that the old man and the old lady would be back this afternoon, and the house needed to send someone to pick them up.
Nan Shaoqing nodded.
"Master, how about I go with you to pick up the old man and the others?"
"No need. Just go and take care of your two brothers. Also, keep an eye on Brother Yan. He can't stand being bullied. Don't let him get into conflict with your brothers."
After arranging things, Lu Zifeng did not stay at home for long, but left the Marquis' Mansion quickly and went directly to the farm outside the city. As for how Shaoqing Nan dealt with the two men, that was the Nan family's own business.
After leaving the city, he rushed towards the farm and soon approached the farm. However, when he got near the farm, Lu Zifeng found something wrong. In the past, there were always people busy in the fields, but today, apart from the sound of talking coming from the farm, there was no one in the fields. This was very unusual. Lu Zifeng immediately became cautious and directly exerted his mental power to cover the farm.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zifeng's anger rose uncontrollably. He saw that his grandfather and grandmother were tied up by several men in black, and the servants and farmers on the farm were trapped and thrown into a room.
Seeing that his grandfather and grandmother were not in immediate danger of life, Lu Zifeng did not rush to show up. Instead, he put the horses into the space and approached the manor quietly.
