The first update

Lu Xudong took Sha Dabao, Bai Yi Province and Zhu Cun back to his house in Beijing. www.biquge.info There is also one of his cousins who lives here, although he can't take the imperial examination, but he also studied in Zeng Fan's academy and has studied for many years. Over the years, Lu's younger brother Lu Jianan has been in Beijing and has enjoyed reading. I'm quite happy to see my eldest brother coming.

"Big brother, why didn't you say anything when you entered Beijing?" Lu Jianan saluted the other three and talked to Lu Xudong affectionately.

"This is the younger brother, studying in the academy. also won the show. Lu Xudong was also a little speechless about this younger brother, he couldn't figure out why his younger brother had to stay in the academy and pay so much silver every year. However, anyway, there is no shortage of money for him at home, Lu Xudong is not bad to this younger brother, there are a few shops in Beijing, so that he can have no worries about food and clothing, and he wants to study. It's just that he felt that he clearly told him, with a background like theirs, you should never want to be whitewashed, even if you rely on it in the academy for the rest of your life, it is useless. But having said that, he was still willing, and Lu Xudong couldn't do it. But think about it, it's really something about yourself, unless you want to punish the nine clans, the younger brother who has been studying hard in Beijing may be able to be saved, so I don't care much about him.

"What a talent, Brother Lu, do you really want to provide a champion to come out?" Zhu Cun smiled and took out a piece of good jade and stuffed it into Lu Jianan's hand, which was a meeting gift. The other two also laughed, picked off some toys casually, and threw them to Lu Jianan.

Lu Jianan smiled and thanked them, invited them in, and happily served them tea and poured water. This house is actually not big, of course, it is still stronger than the one where Zeng Fan lives. Lu Jiannan also has a lot of servants in the family, but he also knows the temperament of his eldest brother, drives everyone far away, and personally serves in the next head.

"You can go back and rest!" Lu Xudong didn't let him participate this time and waved at him.

"Brother Lu, let the little guy listen to it too, and we just happened to ask what kind of charter Jingli is. Can it be counted if Master Zeng said it? Sha Dabao waved his hand and said hurriedly.

"That's, that's it, we've only heard that Lord Zeng has won the love of the former emperor over the years, but now that the new emperor is on the throne, Lord Zeng has made such a play, I'm worried that our brother will use his head to buy him a future." Bai Yixing gently touched his bald head, and there were still some thin hairs on his scalp, which rustled to the touch.

"Which Zeng-sama?" Lu Jianan's face turned pale.

"Of course, it's your mentor!" Lu Xudong shook his head gently, this is also the reason why he didn't let his younger brother here, Lu Jianan was Zeng Fan's student in the academy, and he was in the same class as Little Monkey, and he grew up in Zeng Fan's class since he was eight years old.

His admiration for Zeng Fan almost exceeded that of his father and brother. He kept mentioning it in his letters over the years. Lu Xudong has been giving gifts to Zeng Fan all these years, but he can't say it clearly, saying that it is a thank you gift for Lu Jianan? Even if Lu Jianan doesn't mind being the son of the Lu family in the Yellow River, he, the eldest brother, doesn't want people to know that he is the concubine of the Lu family in the Yellow River. He put Lu Jiannan in the capital, just because he didn't want to implicate him.

Therefore, he was really grateful to Zeng Fan for taking care of and teaching his younger brother, so he took the opportunity of Brother Hao to give Zeng Fan a generous gift, he wanted peace of mind. But I didn't expect Zeng Fan to confiscate it. Of course, at that time, Zeng Fan confiscated it, and his heart was even happier. Zeng Fan is worthy of his younger brother's admiration.

At that time, he was also happy that his brother had such a teacher. And now, his heart is also full of contradictions, he was moved by Zeng Fan's words, what's the point of beating his own people? He also reads the books of sages, but he is the eldest son in the family, so he can't blame himself for being born in the wrong place, right? Over the years, he could only grit his teeth and hold on. Now that Zeng Fan has drawn a big cake that makes his heart move, he can do something that makes his children and grandchildren proud, even if he is broken, he at least does it.

But this is not his business alone, he can stand in front of Zeng Fan by himself, but it is useless, Zeng Fan not only needs him alone, but he has to protect his father to leave this territory, as well as the lives of these brothers.

"Sir, do you have something to ask your eldest brother to do?" Lu Jianan's eyes lit up, but immediately darkened again, "Big brother, you don't have to be embarrassed for me, Mr. doesn't know that you are my eldest brother, you don't have to worry about me." ”

"What a fool!" Lu Xudong was a little relieved, his younger brother has been sensible and obedient all these years, he is alone in Beijing, so old, he didn't even marry a daughter-in-law, but he still didn't want to embarrass himself. He sighed softly and gently spread out the chart in his hand.

"This is the Fujian chart, how can the eldest brother have it?" Lu Jianan glanced at his eldest brother in some surprise.

"How do you think this?" Zhu Cun's brows furrowed, the chart was honest, they couldn't understand it, if Zeng Fan hadn't pointed it out to them one by one just now, they could see what the drawing meant. You must know that in addition to their good kung fu, they are familiar with their own territory, even if they drink a few large jars of wine, they can float back to their own water village with their eyes closed. The map of their territory is in their hearts. As a result, this scholar can understand it, is it possible that this is still taught in the school?

"Well, the teacher said that we can't be blind, and asked foreign priests to teach us geography, they have a lot of nautical charts there, and they sent our offshore charts to Mr. Yu, so that we can see our own ocean." Lu Jianan didn't think there was anything about it, the geography class, let them know that the world was not only their heavenly kingdom. The world is full of variables, and when foreign priests come to teach geography, the teacher will also listen carefully to the lectures below and learn how to draw. Because Zeng Fan was so attentive, no one in the other students dared not study hard, even Lu Jianan could draw a good map.

"You understand all this?" Lu Xudong pushed the picture to his younger brother, he was a little worried, Zeng Fan had nothing to do with teaching these students and babies to learn this? Wouldn't it be nice to read their sages well, but what about the outside?

However, Lu Xudong still had a voice in his heart, what do these foreigners want to do when they draw these maps and send them to the academy? Even if they are water bandits, they know that these foreigners have no good things, and they are really more hated than the dog officials. With a bad stomach, they have a way to steal, and these foreigners have no limit. If it weren't for the fear of provoking the government, Lu Xudong really wanted to kill all the foreigners and doglegs there. Now what do they say to teach their younger brother to study, they have such a good heart?
