After returning to the small courtyard in Bozhou Prefecture, Lu Zifeng wrote a memorial and handed it to Lu Chun.
"Now, take two secret guards back to the capital and personally hand this memorial to my uncle. Have him pass it on to the emperor. Be quick. I don't want to wait here too long."
Lu Chun took the memorial and put it in his arms, pressed it, and then left.
For the rest of the time, Lu Zifeng basically wandered around Bozhou Prefecture every day, buying some local specialties whenever he saw them. This is when he came to Bozhou Prefecture. He thought that since it was not far from Luzhou Prefecture, he would go back to see his uncle and his aunt's family. No matter what, family ties still need to be maintained.
Half a month later, Lu Chun came to Bozhou Prefecture again and brought the emperor's decree. The emperor also knew that Lieutenant General Xue had rebelled. He fully affirmed Lu Zifeng's action and praised him for doing a good job. He said that he would send someone to take over the affairs here again, and Lieutenant General Zhang really needed to go to the west camp of the capital to take up his post.
"Oh, our business is finally over. Lu Chun will take a two-day break. Let's go to Luzhou Prefecture and visit my uncle and aunt's family."
As soon as Lu Zifeng finished speaking, Lu Chun showed an embarrassed expression, and Lu Zifeng said unhappily.
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Lu Chun then said hesitantly.
"Sir, when I came here, Madam told you to go back immediately, saying that there was something important that required you to go back."
"Hmm...? What's going on? Why does this prince have to go back?"
Lu Chun said with a chuckle.
"Well, I heard that several ladies came to our house, and it seems that they are looking for a marriage for the young master."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zifeng sat up suddenly and looked at Lu Chun in disbelief.
"What did you say? About marriage? Did you find out who was in charge?"
Lu Chun shook his head in confusion. "Sir, I don't know either! I just heard that the Empress mentioned it at a palace banquet a while ago, so many families came to visit."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zifeng leaned back on the couch again.
"Oh, why didn't I think of it? How am I going to live in the future? To be honest, I don't want to get married, but I also know that it's impossible. Now I need to think of a way. It would be great if I could get married a few years later!"
"Oh, by the way, Lu Chun, Lu Xia, do you two have a favorite woman? If so, please don't hide it from me. I will make the decision for you when the time comes."
Lu Chun and Lu Xia looked at each other. This was your own business, so why are you talking about us? And the master hasn't gotten married yet, so how can we, the servants, get married?
"Master, you haven't gotten married yet? So Lu Xia and I are in no hurry. How can a servant get married when the master hasn't gotten married yet?"
Lu Zifeng shook his finger when he heard that.
"Lu Chun, you are wrong. You should get married first and have a child. Then your master's child will need your child to protect him. If your child is younger than your master, how can you protect him?"
Lu Chun and Lu Xia looked at each other again. It seemed that what their master said was right, but why did they always feel something was wrong?
Lu Zifeng fooled the two servants and stopped looking at them, thinking about his own things. He hasn't met the girl he likes yet, and he doesn't want to experience a blind marriage. Although this is not the era where he lived in his previous life, Lu Zifeng feels that he can still go and see whose girl there is. It's just that the Queen's words have disrupted his plan. It seems that he should not go back for the time being. It won't be too late to go back after this matter is over. Lu Zifeng is still confident that his family will find a marriage for him directly. He said at home at that time that he would have to find a wife for himself, so his family should not find a wife for him casually.
Three days later, Lu Zifeng took Lu Chun and Lu Xia and headed towards Luzhou Prefecture. Because Luzhou Prefecture and Bozhou Prefecture were both located on the banks of Mingjiang River, they chose to go by boat this time.
The master and his two servants boarded the ship and went straight to the cabin. It was a merchant ship. Lu Chun went to the dock to see, but did not see the Lu family's own merchant ship. However, he found a base in Bozhou Prefecture. This base was a base of the Lu family's merchant caravan, responsible for purchasing or selling the goods brought by the Lu family's merchant ships.
After being introduced by the people at the caravan station, the three of them boarded the merchant ship. The merchant ships sailing on the Ming River are not very big, about five or six feet long, with three floors. The bottom floor is full of cargo, the middle is where the crew and sailors live, and the top floor is where the manager of the cargo ship lives. Lu Zifeng and Lu Chun lived on the third floor. The view here is wide, and sitting by the window, with a cool breeze, they feel very comfortable.
Although the manager of the merchant ship did not know who Lu Zifeng was, he knew that since he could have the Lu family caravan's resident manager come in person to make arrangements, he thought that his identity must be extraordinary. His boss once warned him that the Lu family caravan seemed to have a relationship with the Lu family of Dingguo Mansion in the capital. Although we don't know what their relationship is, it is still better to be cautious. Encountering something like today's incident, the manager of the merchant ship decided to be cautious. It was just a matter of riding on his own ship, so there was no need to worry about so many things.
To go from Bozhou Prefecture to Luzhou Prefecture, one has to pass through Jizhou Prefecture. Only after passing Jizhou Prefecture can one enter the territory of Luzhou Prefecture. Moreover, this trip is against the current, so the speed of the boat is naturally much slower. Fortunately, Lu Zifeng and the other two are not in a hurry. They walk slowly and can enjoy the scenery along the way.
The merchant ship manager was very good at handling things. After coming over to greet him first, he rarely appeared in front of Lu Zifeng for the rest of the time. However, he would personally bring his men to deliver every meal to Lu Zifeng.
His humble attitude made Lu Zifeng feel good about him, and he couldn't help but learn more about him. When he heard that this merchant ship belonged to the Liu family, a big merchant in Jiangnan, Lu Zifeng understood.
When Lu Zifeng was in the capital, he had also heard of the Liu family in Jiangnan. A few years ago, the daughter of the Liu family was brought into the Prince Zhong's Mansion as a concubine. The Prince Zhong was the cousin of the current emperor and the son of the founding emperor's elder brother. Since the founding emperor ascended the throne, he named his elder brother the Prince Zhong and made him responsible for managing the affairs of the royal clan and the entire clan house.
The current Prince Zhong is the second generation Prince Zhong and is a cousin of the emperor. It is said that this generation Prince Zhong has a good temper and manages the clan office in an orderly manner, because he grew up with the late crown prince, the elder brother of the current emperor. He made great efforts when the late crown prince died early and the current emperor inherited the throne. He also has many controls on other members of the royal family and manages them very well.
That is to say, only two generations have passed in the Daewoo Dynasty so far, and there are not many royal family members. In addition, except for Prince Zhong who is closely related to the emperor, the others are cousins or brothers of the founding emperor, and their relationship is relatively distant.
