Lu Zifei has been quite happy recently, since he came back from Dali, he has not been to the yamen once, and the yamen in Guangzhou are also happy to pretend to be deaf, who would like a boss to point fingers at his head.

Maybe it's because the time he spent with his eldest daughter when he was born was too short, but now that the younger daughter is born, he has given all his love to one person, and he should have given his love for all children to his younger daughter.

The father and daughter interacted happily in bed, anyway, Pei Peipei couldn't understand what his daughter was saying, he hoped to have a son at first, and then she also wanted to open it, and her daughter seemed to be more popular in the Lu family.

She observed her husband's attitude towards her daughter from beginning to end, and slowly she came back to her that her husband's love for his daughter had long since surpassed that of anyone else, including her husband himself, which made her love and hate.

"If you have time to talk to your daughter about aliens, you might as well come and help me look at the accounts, your disciple doesn't care about the accounts now, let me be tired and tired all day long."

Lu Zifei said without looking back: "Is it important for your daughter to break the account?" She's my baby, and you'll see if I'll look down if I'll look down at those broken accounts. ”

Pei Peipei was laughed at angrily, rolled a few thin pieces of paper into a ball and threw them at Lu Zifei, and scolded at the same time: "Without these broken accounts, you and your daughter can drink the northwest wind!" That's a good thing to say. ”

Lu Xuerui giggled when she heard the familiar voice, Lu Zifei kissed her daughter's little face lovingly, and said disregardingly: "You put your heart in your stomach, even if everyone in this world has no food to eat, you can't lack my daughter's food." ”

"You just spoil her, it's boundless to spoil at such a young age, I'll see what you do when you grow up, as long as you have a lot of dowry, you can pet it casually, I shouldn't be that bad person, anyway, my daughter's surname is Lu and not Pei."

Lu Zifei didn't hear his daughter-in-law's chatter, women just have a lot of things, do they need so many reasons to spoil their daughter? I have money myself, and I can't be willful.

The first person to read the court's reprimand document after it arrived in Guangzhou was Shen Kuo, because it was not a private letter, so Shen Kuo didn't seem to care about it, and at the same time there was a letter from Du Yan, which he never dared to open privately.

The faint uneasiness in Shen Kuo's heart was completely confirmed after reading the letter, he had mentioned this hidden worry to Lu Zifei in the days when the master came back, but the master didn't take it to heart at that time, so he didn't take it seriously, and now it seems that his worries are completely justified.

Lu Zifei didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of Guangzhou, he knew better than anyone as a disciple, for the sake of the master and the Lu family, he still bothered the master, and when he saw the master and his sister together, he was a lot relieved, at least the master would not be angry at this time.

In the angry eyes of the master, Shen Kuo cautiously took over the little junior sister, Lu Zifei read the documents of the imperial court first, Shen Kuo did not notice the change in the master's face, but after reading Du Yan's letter, Shen Kuo was very sure that the look in the master's eyes had changed.

"Did the letter come today?"

"I came today, and I sent it over as soon as I arrived."

Lu Zifei closed his eyes and was thinking about this matter, he felt that this was a small thing that could not be smaller, why did the imperial court grasp this little problem? Du Yan told himself that it was the imperial court's trust in him that had decreased, and that if this matter could not be resolved perfectly, it might affect the war in Dali.

Pei Peipei heard her husband start to discuss things, so she went out with her daughter in her arms, and after pondering for a long time, he asked lightly: "What do you think of this matter, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing." ”

Shen Kuo said: "This is a bad signal for the master, the imperial court knows that the master you are also concurrently serving as the judge of Guangnan East Road, and the meaning of this is probably not so simple." ”

How could he not think of a question that a child could think of, maybe because the disciple didn't read Du Yan's letter, so the master and apprentice thought differently, but he was not very willing to let the disciple see these pickled things too early.

"Look at this and talk about your thoughts, Lord Du, this Zai is quite very ingenious, it seems that a lot of things have happened in my absence! Take advantage of this time today, tell me about it in detail! ”

After reading the letter, Shen Kuo knew that he was thinking biased, things were more serious than he thought, in the feudal period, when a person lost the trust of the emperor, it would be difficult for you to do anything in the future.

The master is quite heavy in the emperor's mind, but he can't stand being filled with wind in your ears all the time, and he also knows where the master is embarrassed, and this matter is really a bit difficult for him to judge.

Heaven and earth are pro-monarchs, the emperor is in front of the master, and you let him say that the emperor is wrong, it seems that he is really a little difficult to get over in his heart. Ignoring the emperor's matter, Shen Kuo told Lu Zifei more about Liu Chang in Tangzhou and Zhang Dian in Dengzhou.

Hearing that the two friends had taken a big step forward in their careers, Lu Zifei was sincerely happy for them, and from them he saw that he was not alone, and there were friends who accompanied him to move forward.

"Tangzhou's affairs are very beautiful, which makes Wang Gongchen's fly not find stubble, and he has gained an official reputation in Tangzhou, which is very important, I think it is because he is too young, otherwise this alone can be promoted to another level."

Shen Kuo also smiled: "Yes! Uncle Liu, he can eat and sleep with the people, and throw off his arms to work, I never thought of this, Uncle Liu grew up in a honey jar. ”

Lu Zifei said: "Don't underestimate anyone's determination, a few of us took the palace exam together, won the jinshi together, rode horses and paraded the streets together, and assigned work together, you think about being a teacher and your Uncle Jia, every man is unwilling to lose to others in his heart." ”

Shen Kuo also agreed with this, he said: "In fact, in the long run, I am more optimistic about Uncle Zhang, Tangzhou occupies a favorable terrain, and with the support of Guangzhou, the future development may be better." ”

Lu Zifei said: "These two places can't be generalized, according to what you say, Dengzhou was still a barren land during the Han and Tang dynasties?" It can be said that the times have long been the characteristics of the two places! ”

"Dengzhou's spirit is very big! Open a shipyard, fight piracy, and vigorously support maritime trade, from all kinds of points of view, Uncle Zhang wants to implement your concept to the end! ”

Lu Zifei was still very happy to hear his disciple's praise, but he said: "The benefits of this are obvious, but the fault tolerance rate is too low, and it is easy for the local forces to turn the tables, because when you seek benefits for others, you will inevitably damage the interests of some people." ”

Shen Kuo said: "No! Uncle Zhang is the prefect of Dengzhou, and like the prefect of Tangzhou, he has the right to control the army, and Dengzhou is almost the same as you are in Quanzhou! With the military to escort them, I don't believe those people would dare to take risks. ”

Lu Zifei smiled, this disciple's mind is top and smart, if he is not a traverser, he may not really be as powerful, but youth is an inevitable problem, after all, you have so much experience.

"Do you know why the pirates in the southeast didn't have any way before they went to the division, it's not that the government's execution is not good, it's not that the army can't fight, it's not that there is no money to send troops, the problem is that there are people in the government who are in the same group as them, and this battle has already been lost before it starts, understand!"

Shen Kuo asked cutely: "Master, who has the courage to risk the world's condemnation, this is going to be caught, and I think all the people involved will be killed!" ”

"Do you think they'll care if they die? When the benefits reach 300 percent, those people dare to kill their own fathers and mothers, and what else do they dare not do. ”

After Lu Zifei finished speaking, he felt a little wrong, and then looked at the disciple, and then smiled bitterly, he was really led astray by this disciple, even if he found out, he didn't blame, and he couldn't live up to the disciple's kindness.

"Didn't Xiaoyun go to the Western Regions and come back yet? Is there any news of him, he has been gone for a year and has not returned, what does he want to do. ”

Shen Kuo thought about it for a while and said, "The last news from Uncle Shi was two months ago, the letter said that he and Senior Brother Yan had arrived in Gaochang, but they were still going to Beiting to see if they had a chance, and they wanted to go to Broken Leaf City to have a look. ”

Lu Zifei was thinking about what the current Beiting and Broken Leaf City were like, the Uighurs and Black Khan in Xizhou? It seems that with these two forces, the Uighurs are okay and do not reject the Han people so much, but the Turks and Qarluqs are different.

"Are there many guards around them" is a very important question, and Lu Zifei must ask it clearly.

Shen Kuo said: "The letter said that they took away about a hundred guards in Huifu, and a team of 100 people in the vast desert is not much!" It's okay to be fully armed against a little banditry. ”

Lu Zifei was a little worried, the Western Regions was really a little strange to Lu Zifei, this was his own brother, and he was one of the few relatives in this world.

"Go back to the capital! You go back to do things at home, the old man is sometimes afraid when he gets older, doesn't it feel very hard to be my disciple. ”

Shen Kuo bowed down and said: "It is anyone's honor to be your master's apprentice, and I am no exception, and I am your eldest disciple, these things are what a disciple should do." ”

"There are only a few people around the master who can be used, you must be careful and careful when you go home, because it is very likely that the family will involve people from the court, but don't be afraid, not offending people does not mean that we are afraid, but we don't want to cause trouble."

Lu Zifei was thinking in his heart, although he didn't have the idea of grabbing that position, but he had neglected the safety of his family recently, and the old people who followed him back from the Northwest Battlefield no longer had that momentum, and their hearts were corrupted by the days of money.

He can go back to the days when he has nothing, but none of his family and the people he cares about can have anything to do, this is his bottom line.

"Master, are you disappointed" After asking Shen Kuo, he ran away, he was afraid that Lu Zifei would beat him.

Lu Zifei smiled, there are so many disappointments as adults, and the more disappointments will become habits.
