Wan Ming looked at him with an incredulous expression and said: "Why are you doing this, it is not a wise choice to wade into the whirlpool so early, when I came, the emperor had already thought of recruiting Fan Zhongyan to return to the court, and the big changes were about to begin, you can come in again after the wind and waves are calm, then it will be safe." ”

Lu Zifei said, "I want to do something for the rise of the Chinese nation, a hundred years of life is like a white horse, when the race against time, and I have been slower than others for three years, the wind and waves are calm, it will never exist, as long as there are people, the struggle will always exist, the emperor is a Ming Jun who has not been seen for hundreds of years, do something, leave some memorial, and make your life not so muddy." ”

Wan Ming sighed and said: "People like you, once identified, will run in that direction, other people's opinions are actually not important to you, I have seen Kolai Gong, Ding Gao Xianggong and the current Prime Minister Lu Yi Jian Xianggong, your style of doing things is very similar, so they are all at the peak of the power of the Great Song Dynasty, Kolai Gong can be said to be both civil and military, but he is too greedy for money, Ding, Lu are good at handling government affairs, they are not as bold as you at your age, not as sharp as you, you are a teenager, you are a teenager, It looks invulnerable now, but what about later? ”

Lu Zifei didn't expect this old man to say it to this point, so he thanked him again, thought about it and said: "I am in business because others think that I am accumulating money, including my father, of course, it is not ruled out that I want to live a high-quality life, so do you think it is not enough to leave such a small tail?" ”

Wan Ming said with a sigh: "What is this, you did it before entering the imperial court, you belong to a gentleman who loves money, and you take it in a good way, it is not you who is set in front, those high-ranking officials and nobles in Kaifeng, and the emperor's relatives blatantly moved the silver from the treasury into their own homes, have you seen anyone say anything?" No one has a business, but the business is not corrupt, and the money comes from there. ”

I'm still young! There is an old man in the family, if there is a bag of treasures, this is the background, what kind of things have not been experienced, have not seen, they have their own set of procedures for dealing with many things, and they don't even need to face each other, and someone has helped them to take the blame.

Lu Zifei said, "Please Grandpa Wan teach me"

Wan Ming nodded and said, "What are you, a young man, what should a young man do, study and study, talk loudly about state affairs with friends, go around the horse and fly the eagle, unscrupulous, instead of thinking about how the court is doing, and you want to worship Fan Zhongyan as a teacher, do you know why you are confiscated?" It's not that you're not smart, it's not that you're not good enough, it's because he thinks you're too utilitarian, not like a young man, understand? The wine business can be done, it can really bring so much profit to the emperor, and your weight in the emperor's heart will be much heavier, and your Feibai body training is not good enough, I didn't expect so many accidents this time, otherwise I will bring you a copy of the emperor's calligraphy for you to copy, it is much stronger than you pondering alone, always remember that the Great Song Dynasty will always be dominated by scholars. ”

Lu Zifei said, "Thank you, Grandpa Wan for your advice" He needs to digest these news well, is it necessary to re-plan?

"Don't think about it so much, just pay a little attention, prepare, I will return to Beijing tomorrow, Li Lin will also follow me back, if your brother wants to go, you have to hurry." Wan Ming always had that expression. Lu Zifei didn't know how he could always maintain this expression.

"What's going on with you today, keep walking here, I'm upset when you go." Lu Zifei's mother said to Lu Li.

"Weak, you go to your second brother and ask him to take you to buy candy to eat, okay." Lu Li is deceiving his daughter.

For the weak, as long as there is food, I can leave, there are many people in the family in the past two days, she has a beautiful game, and there is a big brother who spoils him more, how good it should be every day, and happily go to the second brother to buy him candy to eat.

Lu Li said to his wife: "Xiao Fei told me today that he wants Xiao Yun to go to the capital, what do you think?" ”

"Why do you want to go to the capital, Chang'an County is also very good, what is Xiaoyun going to do." Lu Li didn't expect his wife to not cry, all the questions were practical questions, and this kind of silent support without crying or making trouble made Lu Li very uncomfortable.

"The child grows up and has his own ideas, you can also see that Xiao Fei is purely doting on Xiao Yun and weak, what about Xiao Fei? was supposed to inherit my position, but now it seems that there is no need, Xiaoyun was born to you, no one knows him better than you, he is not a piece of reading material, Xiaofei let his younger brother go, there is a reason for him, you have no opinion, I will tell Xiaoyun. ”

As soon as Lu Li wanted to say the next sentence, Lu Ziyun came in from outside the door, "Father, mother, I am willing to go." ”

"You kid, how can you eavesdrop on adults." Lu Ziyun's mother blamed.

Lu Ziyun said, "My little sister asked me to buy candy for her, but I didn't have any money, so I came to find my father, and I heard it at the door." ”

Lu Li looked at his son's eyes and said seriously: "You are only eleven years old this year, do you know what it means to go to the capital?" It means that you live alone in Kaifeng, your eldest brother is going to Luoyang to study, weak and young, your mother has to take care of her, and I can't do without it, you know this, do you feel that you can do it? ”

"The eldest brother went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen for me alone, at least it is safe for me to go to the capital, what am I afraid of, I think the eldest brother is also for my good, I am willing to go." Lu Ziyun said stubbornly.

"Let him go, I asked you to ask for a place in the country, study hard after you go, I will be in Luoyang then, not far from you, homesick, the eldest brother will go to see you, it won't take a few years for the eldest brother to go to the capital, our brothers can be together again, remember what the eldest brother told you that night? After I went, I watched more, listened more, and talked less. Lu Zifei also heard his brother's words at the door, and he still decided to let his brother go, and the environment in Tokyo might make him better.

Lu Li said: "You got the quota of Guozijian there, why don't you go yourself, isn't it better for you to go than your younger brother." ”

Lu Zifei said, "I don't need it, just let Xiaoyun go, when the time comes, if there is anything in the capital, you will find you Brother Li Lin, if he can't solve it, you will go to the Cao family and tell them that you are my younger brother, they will help you, and the Cao family can't solve it, so you will come to Luoyang to find me, and when you leave, I will give you a name post, that person happens to be the priest of the country, and you can also find him if there is anything." "That Ouyang Xiu's name card was also something he just remembered, just right.

Lu Li listened to the eldest son arrange everything for the younger son, he felt that he was old, and he was okay with his daughter-in-law in the room last night! The son surpasses himself, this is the expectation of every father, but also the loss of every father, a complex psychology, it seems that the eldest son has happened a lot of things in the three years of the army that he does not know, and there is time to talk about it.

Lu Li seemed to think of something, and said, "Xiao Fei, the Cao family you said is Queen Cao's Cao family. ”

Lu Zifei didn't expect that his father, a little official, also knew about the Cao family in the capital.

"What kind of eyes are you, although you are in Shaanxi, you also have a report to read, which makes me look like a hillbilly." Lu Li said angrily, this stinky boy actually looked down on me.

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Father is amazing, it is indeed Empress Cao's maiden family, in Weizhou Cao Commander owes me a favor, I want to take care of Xiaoyun There is no big problem." ”

Lu Li felt that his young heart had been hit mercilessly, and tens of thousands of critical hits were all hit without exception, and the connections that his son had for three years could not be achieved in his lifetime.

Lu Zifei continued: "This time, the eldest brother will give you a thousand yuan, and when it comes to the New Year, I will give you money again, go out to eat with friends or something, you can take the initiative to pay the bill, the eldest brother has nothing now, and the poor are left with money." ”

A joke eased the sorrow of parting, looking at his mother, Lu Zifei's heart was full of guilt, the ancients had a saying called 'Parents are here, don't travel far,' "Mother, I promise you, I will take you and my father to the capital in three years, our family can be together again, Shaanxi is not safe these years, you know, Xiaoyun goes to the capital is also very good." ”

Lu Li said, "Your mother is like this, there is no way to get the quota of Guozijian in Shaanxi Governor, Xiao Fei gave the opportunity to Xiaoyun, you should be happy, except that Guozijian is better than me, a father, don't put pressure on the child, Xiao Fei also said, you can be reunited in three years, okay." ”

In the afternoon, Lu Zifei didn't do anything, took Lu Ziyun and the weak to squeeze two large buckets of milk for the weak to make toffee to eat, with white sugar it is much simpler, put it together to boil, make a good mold, pour it into it and wait until the next day to cause cooling.

After eating, Li Lin said that he would send a cook to his house when he returned home, and let Lu Zifei help him cultivate in place.

Coincidentally, Uncle Wang happened to come back with a few sample bottles of wine, Lu Zifei called Wan Ming, Wan Ming personally filled five bottles of wine that he thought was the best, Lu Zifei felt that it was alcohol, this was for the emperor to taste, and it was also used for propaganda, the bottle that came out for the first time was not good-looking, but it was much better than the jar, and it looked tall.

Everyone knew that Lu Ziyun was going to the capital, so they didn't disturb their family's reunion, Lu Zifei still lived with his younger brother at night, and told him a lot, as for whether Lu Ziyun listened to it or not, only the gods knew.

Lu Ziyun was full of freshness about this trip, went out alone, with a huge amount of money in his arms, happy when he thought about it, no one cared about what he wanted, he ate whatever he wanted, and shouted in his heart, Tokyo, I'm here.

Got up at five o'clock the next morning, Lu Zifei casually made a little breakfast, everyone ate together to send Li Lin and them away, Li Lin was not sad, he knew that Lu Zifei was going to Luoyang in the future, there were many opportunities to meet, and Lu Ziyun was also very excited to ride a horse for the first time. Lu Zifei made a cheering gesture to his younger brother, patted the horse's buttocks, and several horses left.

Wan Ming said to Lu Zifei when he passed by him, "Wait for my good news"

"Xiucai, I'll go back to Luoyang to find you" from afar.
