Following.

Before dawn, Lu Wu woke up.

He found that Zhao Yu got up early and called the maid to groom and change his clothes, the house had been cleaned up, and Lu Wu had been freshened up and dressed in his sleep.

Being able to serve people without waking them up shows that they have been educated properly.

When Lu Wu got up, he found that he didn't notice what had happened, and his brain was also aching from drinking a lot of alcohol, and he thought, "I slept too hard last night?" ”

Zhao Yu saw Lu Wu wake up, stopped dressing up and walked to the edge of the collapse, and after a salute, he greeted: "Lord? ”

Now there is no bed.

When you sleep, just spread a blanket, straw mat, and other things on the floor, and it's a couch.

Lu Wu gave Zhao Yu a smile, looked at the maids who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Why do you get up early?" ”

Zhao said weakly: "A new wife needs to be boiled." ”

Is it a custom for a new woman to get up early to get food for her husband?

She said weakly, "The Lord also needs to give the guest a gift in return." ”

Lu Wu hasn't read the gift list yet.

He was just a look, and the maid who was signaled walked out.

It didn't take long for a box to be carried in.

The inside of the box is a bamboo slip.

Some are a half-piece bamboo slip.

More are made into a book of bamboo compendiums.

Lu Wu read the gift list, and he tried to recall Zhifu's reminder and tell whom to give what kind of gift in return.

It's a big deal.

What kind of status to get married, the gifts prepared by the guest must meet the specifications.

Most people will not deliberately pick precious gifts, and it is enough to pursue etiquette norms in terms of value.

There is also a need to pay attention to what kind of gift you need to return, generally half of the value of the gift in return.

Lu Wu quickly dealt with the matter.

When he finished his work, Zhao and a group of sisters came.

They saluted Lu Wu one after another.

After Wei Han finished his salute, he sat down beside Lu Wu and personally helped Lu Wu prepare the meal.

Han Yan hid her face and smiled, and also sat next to Lu Wu, and even took Lu Wu's arm and hugged her.

The remaining Zhao Xin stood a little helpless for a while, and saw Lu Wu pointing to the side with his finger, and obediently walked over and sat down.

From these actions, you can roughly see what kind of character they are.

Moreover, Lu Wu could see that Han Yan and Wei Han had had a lot of contact before, but they didn't seem to be familiar with Zhao Yu and Zhao Xin.

At the same time, Zhao is not familiar with anyone.

Lu Wu was relatively puzzled.

Zhao Yu is Zhao Tong's daughter.

In the past, the old Zhao family was very beautiful, even if Zhao was no longer taken seriously, the social interaction between the nobles would not be completely cut off.

Again, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Han family is very far-reaching, and there is no reason for the children of the two families to be estranged, right?

"Why doesn't it get dark early?" Han Yan said a little boldly: "Tonight, the Lord will come into my house. ”

What and what is this?

It's the early morning of a new day, and I'm looking forward to the night coming soon???

Zhao didn't say anything.

Wei Han immediately laughed and trembled, and he bit Han Yan's ears in a different position, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Zhao Xin still lowered his head, occasionally raised his head and looked at Han Yan and Wei Han who were already playing with envy.

Lu Wu, who had finished eating, stood up.

Some return gifts can only be sent by retainers, and some return gifts require Lu Wu to come to the door in person.

He first took people to Cheng Hua's mansion, and saw Cheng Hua and chatted briefly for a while.

Later, he went to Zhigang's side again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhi Gang let Lu Wu leave.

And Lu Wu's metal armor, from the moment he left Zhifu's house, no longer belonged to him.

To put it simply, Zhi Gang robbed Lu Wu.

Zhigang was not greedy to the extent of being excessive, he just asked for armor and didn't ask about manufacturing technology.

In the next few days, Lu Wu accompanied several ladies successively, and took them back to his mother's mansion in Xintian.

Nothing too special happened to Lu Wu and the others, and they talked a lot about their meeting with Han Ju.

Han Ju was a dignified-looking man in the army, and when he came into contact with Lü Wu, he showed the side of an elder.

It's just that the feudal collar that Lu Wu is most concerned about has successively probed several tentative tones, but no one has given any answers, not even hints.

In addition, he knew something.

The main sect of the Zhao clan was reinstated, and the Duke of Jin Jing also promised to return the land of Zhao to the main sect of the Zhao family, but there was no actual giving, resulting in Zhao Wu still living in Zhao Zhuangji.

Lu Wu, who sensed that the situation was very wrong, chose to live in seclusion, but had more time to communicate with several ladies.

Usually, Lu Wu does some things for the Han family and the Wei family.

For example, meet some of the people who are not suitable for Han and Wei.

One day, Lü Wu was summoned to see Luan Shu.

This is going through an "interview" process.

The meeting between Lu Wu and Luan Shu seemed very monotonous.

Luan Shu fully showed the bearing of an elder and did not ask any questions other than the examination.

During the examination, Lu Wu also realized that he was still a descendant of Bigan back to the test, and he could be regarded as a person with heels in his blood.

He is surnamed Lin, and he is also a heel, and the Lu family is just the current mainstream title.

And this is very important at the moment.

There is no good ancestor retroactively, and it is impossible to have too good rewards in the evaluation if the credit is enough.

After all, we are talking about an era when princes and princes will have a kind of thing.

It wasn't until a month later that the documents for the ruling Luan Shu (also the marshal) were sent.

Lü Wu's new fief was chosen in a place called "Yin", with Yin City as the center, and the surrounding area was one hundred and fifty miles long, all owned by the old Lu family.

Because there was no map, he could only guess the general situation from some of the descriptions in the document.

This "yin" is on the edge of Fenshui, and his fief directly encompasses part of the river section of Fenshui, but five out of ten of the new fiefdoms are all mountains.

The current name of this mountain area is "Huo Tai Mountain", and in later generations it was renamed Taiyue Mountain.

According to the current custom, the prefix of Lu Wu should be changed, called Yin Wu.

It's just that whether to change it or not is all according to his own wishes, of course it is impossible for him to change it.

The yin land is adjacent to "Yang" and "Yi", and on the other side of the Fenshui River, in addition to "Lu", it is "Huo".

In other words, Lü Wu was still a neighbor of the Wei family, and at the same time, he also had a border with the fiefs of several middle nobles.

To the southwest, it is Huocheng; To the north is Dajung; To the east is a mountain range called Kazugami; To the south of "Yang" is the fiefdom of the Zhongxing clan.

"Mountainous and poor!" Song Bin was the only retainer by Lu Wu's side, and he would definitely participate in major events, so he frowned deeply and said, "It's next to Qin, it's ominous." ”

The new fiefdom actually did not border the Qin State, and there was a distance of five hundred miles, and at the top was Huo Di.

In fact, Huodi has a large area, including "Lou", "Jiaogang", and "Kei", and has been approaching the east bank of the big river (the Yellow River, but the water is not yellow), and crossing the river is the territory of the Qin State.

It's just that the borders of various countries are actually very vague now, and unless the borders are fortified and fortified, it's really hard to say whose place is in the desert.

The war between Jin and Qin had only entered a truce, and anyone could see that there would be a fight in the next few years.

What Lu Wu attaches the most importance to now is how many people there were in the "Yin" land, and whether they can be counted as people from the old Lu family.

Then, what is the only city over there, that is, the "Yin City".

These are not difficult to inquire, Lu Wu found his brother-in-law Wei Xiang and got relatively detailed information.

According to Wei Xiang's disclosure, the "Yin City" has actually been abandoned, which means that what Lu Wu got was actually an empty city.

As for the registered population of the "Yin" land, except for nearly 6,000 people, who are considered to be in the name of the old Lu family, the rest of the slaves belonging to the official are not the property of Lu Wu.

Finally, there was a city, but it turned out to be abandoned a long time ago?

Lu Wu was somewhat comforted by the fact that he could increase the number of subjects by at least more than 6,000, which was equivalent to almost tripling the population of the old Lu family at once.

"Wu?" Wei Xiang smiled and asked, "A is taken by Zhi Gang?" ”

This is after Zhigang got the set of metal suits, he wore them to the party of the secretaries to show off, so that everyone who should know knows it.

The mention of Zhigang gave Lu Wu a headache.

The rest of the nobles still talk about some courtesy and exchanges, and Zhigang only goes in and out every time, even if he returns something, he is generous with things that do not belong to him.

A nobleman like Zhigang is really a wonder now.

However, the various families did not feel disgusted, and even found it a little interesting.

When Lu Wu gave away the armor, he knew that Zhi Fu would inevitably show off, and he had already thought of countermeasures.

"Phase." He didn't need to deliberately use honorifics on Wei Xiang, and said, "Give me the copper ingot, and give me the gold armor." ”

Wei Xiang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and laughed and agreed.

As for the smelting technology and manufacturing technology, Wei wants to and willingly let Lu Wu dedicate it, so that he will not use the way of robbery.

Lu Wu began to think about his own family background and how to develop his new territory.

What he didn't know was that he didn't want to go back so quickly, and there was a big historical event waiting for him to participate.
