In fact, with the relationship with the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, Qi Yan will definitely be incomparable to before. It will be easy to find a suitable in-law for her, but if she wants to marry into a powerful family, it will be difficult. However, it is not impossible, but in this case, she usually cannot be the wife, but can only be a concubine or even a side room.
"It seems that Auntie is a sensible person. How is Qi Hao now? He is still studying in the academy. How is his study going?"
Speaking of Qi Hao, Lu Mingshan suddenly smiled, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.
"Brother Hao is doing quite well now. Not long ago, I went to the capital and happened to meet his teacher. He said that Brother Hao is doing very well in his studies and will definitely be among the top students next year."
Lu Zifeng smiled and laughed.
"It seems that Brother Hao is not bad. He is much more promising than that kid Zi Yan."
Lu Mingshan also sighed.
"That's right. I advised your aunt not to let them move out. It's such a big house, and besides me being the master, the rest are servants. It makes me feel uncomfortable, but your aunt just won't listen. However, your aunt's idea is not wrong. Qi Yan must be made to face reality. Fortunately, Hao Ge'er is still very hardworking. If he can pass the imperial examination, it will also be good for that girl."
Of course Lu Zifeng knew what his uncle meant. The two chatted for a long time. Lu Mingshan still needed to go to the farm to work, so Lu Zifeng did not disturb him. Instead, he went out to find Situ Yi.
Just now, Situ Yi saw that Lu Zifeng had something to talk about with Lu Mingshan, so he suggested that the servant in the mansion take him for a walk around the village.
As soon as Lu Zifeng walked out of the door, he saw Situ Yi fighting with several young men from the tribe.
These guys were probably around thirteen or fourteen years old, which was about the same age as Lu Zimo. Seeing them fight with Situ Yi for a long time before showing signs of defeat, Lu Zifeng was very pleased. He didn't expect that these guys had not slacked off in the past two years.
Seeing Lu Zifeng arrive, a group of boys immediately surrounded him, chattering and calling him Brother Feng.
"Are you all doing well? It seems you've remembered everything I taught you, and you've been able to apply it to yourselves. That's great."
Hearing Lu Zifeng's praise, the group of boys immediately cheered with joy.
Situ Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over.
"Hey, Brother Feng, these guys in your clan are really amazing. I almost couldn't stand their fighting skills. Did you teach them all?"
Lu Zifeng nodded.
"Well, the road to escape the famine was full of dangers. If they didn't learn martial arts, no matter how powerful I was, I would still be outmatched. So I taught them martial arts, but I didn't expect these guys to learn so quickly."
After sending these boys away, Lu Zifeng prepared to visit his aunt, so he asked Lu Chun to bring a lot of specialties he bought in Bozhou Prefecture, as well as a lot of fabrics and snacks.
Lu Zifeng brought Situ Yi, Lu Chun and Lu Xia to his aunt Lu Minglan's house.
"Auntie, are you home?"
Lu Minglan was making clothes in the house. When she heard the sound, she went out and looked at Lu Zifeng in surprise. She was very excited. She didn't expect that her nephew would come back. She ran to Lu Zifeng excitedly and grabbed Lu Zifeng's arm.
"It's Feng'er! Why didn't you tell me when you were coming back? Auntie should prepare some delicious food."
Lu Zifeng chuckled.
"Aunt, we arrived in the city last night and came here early this morning. I also heard that you moved to the small courtyard. Why? There is no need for such a big courtyard at home."
When Lu Minglan heard this, she pulled Lu Zifeng into the house and said, "Let's talk inside. It's too hot outside."
As he said this, he invited Lu Zifeng, Situ Yi and others into the house.
Lu Zifeng introduced to Lu Minglan.
"Aunt, this is my good friend, his name is Zhang Yi."
Situ Yi hurriedly saluted.
"Zhang Yi has met Aunt Lu."
Lu Minglan quickly helped Zhang Yi up and said, "Ah, we are all farmers, there is no need for so many etiquette. Since you are Feng'er's good friend, I will be generous and accept the call of Aunt."
Lu Minglan's actions made Situ Yi feel very comfortable, and he said with a smile.
"Then I'll listen to Aunt Lu."
Lu Zifeng stayed with Lu Minglan until the late afternoon before returning to the provincial capital with Situ Yi and the others.
The next day, Lu Zifeng and Situ Yi bought a lot of things and returned to Lujia Village. This time they planned to visit several grandfathers in the clan.
Several old men in the clan knew yesterday that Lu Zifeng had returned. They were very happy to see Lu Zifeng coming to their house today. They asked a lot of questions about the Lu family in Beijing, and they can be said to have a real understanding of the Lu family's affairs in Beijing.
They also talked about Lu Mingshan's marriage. Lu Zifeng said that his grandfather also had this idea, but he couldn't come back for the time being, so he asked all the grandfathers to help find a daughter from a good family for his uncle.
Several old men agreed readily. Before leaving, Lu Zifeng took out one thousand taels of silver notes from the space and handed them to the clan leader, saying that it was for the family's public funds to be used to purchase clan land, repair the ancestral hall, etc.
On the third day, Lu Zifeng took Situ Yi and the servants and left Luzhou Prefecture, preparing to return to Beijing.
Just when Lu Zifeng left Luzhou Prefecture, Lu Mingshan met Lin Yulian again on the farm.
To be honest, Lu Mingshan never expected to meet Lin Yulian again and again at the farm. When he saw Lin Yulian's carriage arriving, he was a little excited, but also a little inferior and didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to respond. He was about to go back to find his sister, but was stopped by Lin Yulian.
It took Lu Zifeng about twenty days to return to Tong County. After getting off the boat and going up to the dock, he saw Lu Qiu and Lu Dong waiting for him at the dock.
"Master, the carriage is ready. Would you like to rest here in the inn for the night, or return to the capital now?"
Lu Zifeng looked up at the sky and said to Situ Yi.
"I think it's going to rain today. Why don't we stay at the inn tonight and see what the weather is like tomorrow before deciding whether to go back or not?"
Situ Yi didn't care. He had nothing to do and was not in a hurry.
"It's all up to you."
The last group of people stayed at a nearby inn. The weather was just as Lu Zifeng said. They had just arrived at the inn for a quarter of an hour when it started to rain heavily outside. The rain was so heavy that if they were far away, they would not be able to see who was who.
"Master is truly wise! He actually guessed the weather right! If we were to set out now, wouldn't we get caught in the rain?"
Lu Chun and the others nodded in agreement to Lu Qiu's words.
"Yes, we really want to thank the master."
