Chapter 51: Good Things Happen Again and Again
Sometimes people can be mavericks.
It's just that more often than not, being too maverick usually doesn't end well.
Lu Wu firmly remembered the guidelines he had set, he could be high-profile when he should be high-profile, and he should be wise if he needed to be low-key.
He noticed the strangeness of the situation, and before he could figure out what it was, he decided to just go in and take a look.
It's all here, isn't it?
If you go outside and don't go in, will you be deducted from the hat of disrespecting the majesty of the monarch?
No matter what, you have to be steady.
Go in and take a look, whether you buy it or not, no one can make a mistake.
Lu Wu didn't see it as a simple formality, and talked to the person in charge more seriously, so that he wouldn't have the attitude of "I'm just going through the motions" as soon as he came in.
The soap here is different from Huo Cheng.
He is so proud and reserved, and his attitude of loving to buy or not to love is full of force.
Lu Wu smiled the whole time, and if the soap chief didn't introduce him, he wouldn't ask the price.
"It's the people of the wilderness," said the soap chief with a sneer on his face, "dare to give me a look." β
is worthy of being a person who works for the monarch, and has a lot of vocabulary.
Lu Wu looked at the soap chief as if he was surprised.
When will you be so arrogant as a slave and a slave?
This is to see the details of Lu Wu, and the soap chief vented the evil fire in his heart.
Lu Wu didn't know that the slaves and maids of the monarch of the Jin State were generally quite arrogant.
He put away his smile, looked the soap up and down, and then turned to the samurai who was accompanying him.
"Why?" The soap chief would rather Lu Wu get angry on the spot and become weak-hearted, and said inwardly: "If you don't buy it, you will leave." β
Lu Wu turned around very simply, and did not hesitate at all to leave this slave market.
He's really not angry.
It's just a villain with an uncertain future, worried that the current monarch will not be able to secure his position after his death, and he is extremely afraid and depressed in his heart, so he chooses someone to vent his evil fire.
After coming out, Ling whispered, "Lord, when will you kill him?" β
Nobles should not be insulted, especially as slaves.
Lu Wu thought for a moment, asked Ling who the current Si Kou (chief police) and judge (chief justice) were, and asked Ling to go in and bring out the soap chief and a few bystanders just now.
Ling and the other warriors were full of fire just now, but Lu Wu didn't give orders, so they could only endure it.
Soon, the soap chief and several witnesses were brought out.
The soap chief first shouted, waiting to find that Lu Wu and the others were taking them to Tu'anjia's (the current Sikou) mansion, and turned into begging for mercy.
There were a lot of people around, and they didn't know what was going on at first, but after listening to it for a while, they realized that the soap chief dared to be disrespectful to a nobleman.
The people who were also nobles, they immediately became angry when they heard this, as if they had witnessed the whole process, and shouted that they wanted to testify to Lu Wu.
In fact, they didn't even know who Lu Wu was, but they knew that as a nobleman, they couldn't be easily provoked, and it was even worse to insult them.
Otherwise, how can the dignity of the nobility be guaranteed, and how can it be superior!?
During the Spring and Autumn Period, except for the monarch who had a formal office space, the rest of the secretaries or doctors did not have their own national yamen, and generally worked either in Miyagi or in their own homes.
Lu Wu took the soap chief to the outside of Tu Anjia's mansion.
Because it was a large group of people who came over, Tu'anjia's mansion had known about it for a long time, and knew that it was a nobleman who was insulted by the slaves, and came to Si Kou to complain and file a case.
There are no twists and turns, Tu Anjia has a good relationship with Jin Jinggong, but when can slaves wantonly insult nobles?
Tu Anjia directly issued the case filing procedure, but he repeatedly observed Lu Wu and found that Lu Wu looked really indignant.
However, he sent people to the slave market to inquire, and after a detailed investigation, he confirmed that what Lu Wu said was not false at all, and ruled out that Lu Wu was a bold nobleman who took advantage of the death of the monarch to touch the porcelain and increase his reputation.
The court filed a case, but the trial was supposed to be conducted by the judges (justices).
Just a slave man, guilty of sending out the cowards and judges?
Actually, there was no need, but no one felt that there was anything wrong with what Lu Wu had done.
Jin Jinggong was seriously ill, and the Jin Kingdom was in a special period.
At the same time, the matter involved the monarch.
The nobles who knew the process of the matter all praised Lu Wu as a cautious and aristocratic person.
Without any accident, the soap chief was convicted by the judges, but it was not Lu Wu who killed him, he was dragged to the street and stabbed to death with a sword, and he was even dragged to a mass grave outside the city and thrown away.
Of course, Jin Jinggong, who was seriously ill, would not have known that such an incident had happened.
When the clan found out, they scolded again and again.
I can't understand the current situation, it's the idiot who is looking for his own death.
Some of the big nobles who knew it didn't take much of a big deal, they were busy planning how to ensure that the power in their hands was not damaged once Jin Jing Gong was born, or to go further.
Only Han Ju had a little reaction after knowing it.
He didn't think that Lu Wu had done something wrong, any nobleman who didn't fight back when he encountered something like that would be treated as a soft egg if he spread it.
It's okay to be a soft egg.
Once everyone knows that the nobleman is a soft egg, wait to be divided!
Lu Wu didn't know what the situation of the Spring and Autumn nobles was, but some things were common.
The seventeenth day they came to Nitta.
A group of people came to LΓΌ Wu's residence.
These people, with a palpable look of joy, reminded that it was about promotion.
When it comes to his own future, Lu Wu naturally doesn't dare to slack off.
It turned out that the merit evaluation of the Battle of Huo had a result, and Han Ju, as the commander of that war, issued the military merit evaluation results of each nobleman who participated in the war.
It is a merit that Lu Wu did not fall into the prestige of the Jin army in the Zhishi, it is another merit to help Cheng Hua capture the Qin State doctor, and it is a merit to kill Shi Zhu in the duel, and even going to the Qin army camp to harvest it is a great merit.
He has always been aware of the benefits of having people above, having channels for meritorious service, and backers who are not blocked by the rest of the nobles.
It's just that he doesn't know a little.
Due to the influence of killing that soap chief, none of the Qing had any objections to Lu Wu's military merit evaluation.
These nobles will maintain the authority of the nobility more than any nobleman, especially now that Jin Jinggong is so seriously ill that he doesn't know if he can be cured.
Lu Wu gave benefits and sent away that group of people.
The samurai present immediately cheered loudly.
From the moment he got the doctor's certificate, Lu Wu was also a middle- and lower-class nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, representing that the old Lu family ushered in a new stage.
However, the new title is not followed.
LΓΌ Wu ordered some samurai to send the documents he had written earlier, that is, the rules on the irrigation system, to the Wei, Han, and Zhi families, and then asked the samurai to pack up their things and prepare to go home.
Halfway through the packing, someone from Wei's side came.
It was Wei Jie, whom Lu Wu had met.
"Takeko." Wei Jie was a few years older than Wei Xiang and much more burly, and he said to Lu Wu with a smile: "Good thing. β
Of course, Lu Wu knew that it was a good thing, but he wasn't sure what it was.
"The Zhao family has a girl who has just grown up, and she wants to be good with Wuzi." Wei Jie saw that Lu Wu's face became sluggish, thinking that he was surprised and stupid, and said, "My family and the Han family will also marry." β
Wait a minute!
Which Zhao family is from?
As for dowry?
In these years, when a noble woman marries, if it is a big noble, several blood families will choose their daughters to marry, and they will also give a dowry.
A good nobleman will also produce a woman to marry, but the relationship must be good to the extent of a dead party.
Of course, the Wei family and the Zhao family are not dead friends, but they will not give up such a potential stock as Lu Wu.
Lu Wu knew that forming an in-law was part of establishing a relationship network, and he had previously expected that the object of marriage would be either the Wei family or the Han family.
After all, he has always been in contact with these two great nobles, and his talents are also appreciated, and marriage is a matter of time.
What he didn't expect was how could it be the daughter of the Zhao family as the main candidate for marriage.
Of course, he didn't know that he wasn't alone.
After the restoration, the main sect of the Zhao family married many clan daughters like wholesale.
However, not every groom has a dowry girl from the Han and Wei families.
