Lu Yun just passed and stood up, inheriting the good appearance of Mrs. Lu's old lady Luo, and because she was a scholar, she had the demeanor of a humble gentleman. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Lu Yun returned to Beijing last year to report on his work, because of his outstanding political achievements in the previous term, he got a good job, and he was backed by the Jingguo Mansion, and there were people in the court, so he ordered the rich Cangzhou to be the governor of the prefecture. Zhizhou was the head of a state, and the Song Dynasty established this official position to weaken the power of the Jiedu envoys, which was equivalent to the history of the Tang Dynasty. Although Daqi did not have a festival envoy, this official position was retained. The prefect of the county, the prefect, the prefect and the transfer department, and the transfer envoy are respectively the four power centers of the county, the state, the province and the road, which constitute the basic framework of the local government system of Daqi, and the governor is equivalent to the modern ******** and is an official position from the five grades.

Lu Shuo respects Lu Yun's father very much, not only because of the succession relationship that has been formed as soon as he crosses over, Lu Yun is good at reading but not pedantic, good at handling mundane affairs, and is also very good at human relations; as the head of the second room of the Jingguo Mansion, Lu Shuo and him have been gentle and gentle in just one month, rarely arbitrary, and oppressive with power; the most important thing is that in this ancient time when three wives and four concubines were the norm, Lu Yun was able to take no concubines for more than ten years without children, which is very rare. All in all, Lu Shuo has a good impression of this father who has only been together for a short time.

Yuan was about to stand up and serve him to wash and change clothes, Lu Yun waved his hand, walked to the other side of Luohan's bed in a few steps and sat down, and said: "I came back from the government after changing into homely clothes, you just arrived, and you are running all the way, and you are resting, don't worry about me." ”

Yuan was also very tired, so he followed his words and didn't stand up again. Lu Yun only saw the two of them, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Sister Ying see it, how was it all the way?"

Yuan replied with a smile: "Okay, I don't get seasick, I eat and sleep well, but I got up early in the morning and ran all the way, and the villain is easy to sleep, so I let the nurse carry me to sleep." ”

Lu Yun nodded reassuringly.

Lu Shuo was still chewing the dim sum, and he hadn't swallowed all the dim sum he had just eaten, so he could only look at Lu Yun who was sitting down in a daze, while puffing out his mouth and chewing the pastry in his mouth unhurriedly.

Lu Yun saw that he was staring at him with big round eyes, his mouth bulging, and he was as well-behaved and cute as a little squirrel, so he couldn't help but hold him in his arms and said with a smile: "Your mother didn't want to spend money on this journey, and shortened your food and drink?

Yuan glanced at him and said angrily: "The old man is used to making fun of people, but when he arrives in Cangzhou, he is more and more oily." I am neither the sweet-faced stepmother nor the vicious woman who abuses children, but if I drink a mouthful of soup, they will have a mouthful of meat to eat, so let my lord put my heart back in my stomach. After speaking, he snorted softly, looking like he was going to be angry and ignore people.

Lu Yunle fought with Yuan, pointed at her and said to Lu Shuo: "Your mother is going back more and more!" Seeing that Lu Shuo swallowed all the snacks, he was afraid that he would choke, so he thoughtfully took the tea, and Lu Shuo took a sip of water.

The maids and ladies who were waiting around couldn't help but purse their lips and laugh.

Lu Shuo's big cute eyes looked like he didn't realize what they were talking about. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, I know that you are affectionate, but the old husband and wife are still sending dog food like this, and the onlookers who eat melons are very hard, and their teeth are going to be sour.

Yuan came to talk to Lu Yun again after a while, and said: "Sitting in the carriage all the way, I followed Brother Shuo'er to feast my eyes! I see that there are really many shops on both sides of the avenue, and it looks quite prosperous. ”

Lu Yun took Lu Shuo from his arms and put him on the Luohan bed, and when he heard this, he also nodded and said: "Yes, Cangzhou faces the sea in the east and the canal in the west. "Since the establishment of the Great Qi, although the status of merchants is still not high, the imperial court has much less exploitation of commerce, and there is no longer a restriction on the children of merchants' families to take the imperial examination, so many people are happy to do small business.

When Lu Yun said this, he saw that it was almost noon, and thought that the mother and son should have been hungry all the way, so he didn't say anything more, and hurriedly instructed the maids to set the meal.

Cups, plates, and dishes were placed on the table one after another, and Lu Shuo only glanced at them, and found that they were all familiar dishes from Beijing. The three of them each sat on their seats, and behind each of them stood the maids of the cloth vegetables, as long as you glanced at it, you didn't need to do it, the maids would put it into a small plate for you with a lot of eyes, but it avoided the embarrassment of stretching out your arms and not adding vegetables, Lu Shuo has also lived in the Jingguo Mansion for a few months, and I feel that compared to Mrs. Lu, there is a special maid who picks fish bones, and this configuration is already very low-key.

Eat silently, sleep silently. The three of them finished eating silently, and they all rinsed their mouths again, and there was a maid serving to clean their hands and faces, this time without Yuan's urging, Lu Shuo took Zhu Yi's hand quite consciously, and she led her to the big bed in the pear flower cabinet to take a nap.

When Lu Shuo walked away, Lu Yun and Yuan retreated, and then sat down again.

"On the way from Beijing, the climate is getting colder and colder, I didn't expect to arrive in Cangzhou, but it is much warmer, I just heard that Cangzhou is a little hot before, but I don't know if I can get used to it. Yuan Shi took the lead in speaking, his tone faintly worried.

"Madame rest assured, the climate of Cangzhou is no better, although it is north here, but it is near the sea, the climate is humid, I have lived for more than half a year, it is not difficult to endure in winter, but it is comparable to Beijing in summer, it is very suitable for living. Yuan listened to Lu Yun's words, but she was relieved, she was nothing, she was afraid that the two dolls were young, and it would be difficult to adapt to the change of environment.

"I wrote to you a few days ago, saying that the third uncle will be working in HB Dao in a few days, do you remember?" Lu Yun asked.

"Why don't you remember? It's just that I didn't expect to ask you this day. The third brother made a history of patrolling the salt, and he must be going to serve in Dingzhou, the capital city, Cangzhou is so close to Dingzhou, he can come and go often in the future. Yuan said excitedly while thinking. Since she got married, although she has also returned to her parents' home to kiss a few times, the third brother has been in a foreign position every time, and she has not seen her in the coming year.

"It's more than that. Lu Yunle said, deliberately selling Guanzi, until he was urged by the Yuan family to say: "The third uncle is not in Dingzhou, he is in Cangzhou." They arrived four days before you, and now their residence is not far from our governor's capital. ”

Yuan Shi was surprised and delighted, and said in surprise: "Why did you come to Cangzhou......? By the way, we arrived today, why didn't we see anyone from the Third Brother's Mansion?"

Seeing that the Yuan family still had questions to ask, Lu Yun hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "You have to take your time, let me answer which of you is better?" The third uncle went to Cangzhou to take up his post, and it was personally approved by the Holy Lord this year, I thought that maybe this place is more near the sea, and there are more salt merchants gathering, and although Dingzhou is a capital city, it is not much more prosperous than Cangzhou, in short, everything is sacred. While speaking, Lu Yun hugged his hands and bowed to the southwest, and then said: "The third brother's family has just come here not long ago, and there are many things to arrange in the house and the yamen. ”

Yuan's was even more excited now, and he was about to stand up and call someone to come in to arrange tomorrow's affairs, Lu Yun couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Sit down, sit down, I still have something to tell you." ”

Only then did Yuan calm down, and Lu Yun said: "I see that Brother Shuo'er is more than four years old, and I have also taken the school entrance examination for him in the Jingguo Mansion before, but I recognize a few words, but I haven't taken it seriously yet." Brother Shuo will definitely enter the imperial examination in the future, and enlightenment is a big deal. ”

Hearing him say this, Yuan nodded and said, "No, speaking of which, the children of some families began to enlighten at the age of three. Speaking of this, I remembered something, and said happily: "Brother Shuo'er is a smart and studious person, and he can sit still, I have to teach him to memorize a three-character scripture every night for the past few days, he remembers it quickly, and now a book is about to be memorized." ”

Although Lu Yun was also very pleased, he didn't show it much, he didn't want to help Yuan's motherly heart, and he couldn't bear Lu Shuo's study and hardship in the future. He cleared his throat and said, "Madam, I plan to send Brother Shuo'er to the third uncle's mansion." ”

When Yuan heard this, he was very distressed, and said: "It's not that the house can't afford to support Mr., if you do this, won't Brother Shuo'er have to run around every day in the future?" Although Lu Shuo didn't come out of her belly, he was smart and sensible, and Yuan loved him very much, and he had already treated him as his own son.

Lu Yun knew that Yuan would say this, so he shook his head secretly and comforted: "I don't know this reason?" It's just that although Mengxue is simple, it is very important to Confucian students, and many students' study habits, patience, and perseverance are honed at this time. The third uncle's teacher was recommended by his father-in-law, but he was only selected for the promotion due to bad luck, and he was disheartened all these years, and he did not plan to continue the imperial examination, but he could continue to teach for a long time, and I communicated with him, he was a square character and knowledgeable, and the third uncle also respected him very much, wouldn't such a teacher be better than the one we hastily found? This is one of them. ”

When Lu Yun said this, his mouth was a little dry, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "Second, Brother Lin of the third uncle's family is now the same age as Brother Shuo'er, and the two of them are enlightened together, not only can they have a companion, but they will also have a care in the future!"

Yuan Shi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

In this way, the sleeping Lu Shuo was set in the direction of the next few years.
