Today's Lu Mansion is very different from three years ago, not only the entire mansion occupies nearly twice as much area as before, but the decoration pattern of the mansion also seems more and more magnificent, especially the main entrance with the plaque of "Wei Chengbo's Mansion", which is wide enough for two or three carriages to drive side by side.

The atmosphere of the front yard, the elegance of the atrium, and the delicacy of the back garden are enough to make any guest who enters the mansion linger and praise.

Such a ingenious building is carefully built by several masters of the Ministry of Works, not only because Lu Jin's status has been significantly improved - after all, he was just a squire at the beginning, and now he is the earl of the Son of Heaven - but also because this is still the face of today's son, as the only noble in this dynasty who was awarded by the emperor's decree, everything about Lu Zhen is the best.

At this time, our Uncle Lu was standing under a big camphor tree, his hands clenched into fists, and he was carefully practicing the newly learned Xingyi Quan one move at a time.

After experiencing the accident three years ago, he was almost injured by the rebels, and he paid more and more attention to his own martial arts, so in recent years, he specially found famous teachers and learned a lot of internal and external exercises from them.

This kind of internal boxing is actually more about health preservation, so it is appropriate for Lu Jin, who is over 30 years old and has been the father of several children, to practice. It's just that the eldest son Lu Yuanyi, who followed him and learned from him to play every move, looked a little ridiculous at this time, making the two wives and four younger children who were standing on the side watching the father and son practice martial arts couldn't stop laughing.

Listening to the laughter of his mother and younger siblings next to him, Lu Yuanyi, who had a straight face, only felt awkward for a while, until he finished the one move and two ceremonies, he stopped his movements and pouted: "Dad, I don't practice anymore, you still practice here alone, otherwise my face will be lost." He was not yet ten years old, but he put on an adult posture, which made a few people on the side look at it and have a gimmick.

When Lu Zhen heard this, he slowly collected his work, took the towel handed by the next person and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and then shook his head and said, "You, you're still too frizzy." When you can turn a blind eye to the jokes of others and ignore them, this Xingyi Fist will be considered to have entered the door. ”

"My Uncle Lu, you are too demanding of your own son, right? He's only ten years old, do you want him to become a Taoist at a young age? Hearing this, the mother was a little unhappy, and Chu Yunrong walked over as he spoke.

Although she is nearly thirty years old, she can hardly see the traces left by the years on her face, and she is still pretty, but because of this, she has a few more charms that only women have.

Lu Zhen was always the most helpless against his wife, so he had to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay, what you say is reasonable, I just don't force him." Hey, I was always worried because I didn't learn a smart skill, so I thought about letting my son learn some martial arts, so he could defend himself in the future. ”

"That's just as well." Only then did Chu Yunrong understand her husband's hard work, nodded, and looked at her son again: "Yuan Yi, then you can work harder in the future." In addition to the homework to be done every day on weekdays, don't delay the practice of martial arts. ”

Because his father is often busy with official business outside, and everything in the family is decided by his mother, Lu Dagongzi is still quite afraid of his mother, so he can only answer in a low voice at this time. And his performance immediately caused a burst of snickering from several other siblings.

Before Lu Yuanyi could get annoyed, Chu Yunrong raised his willow eyebrows, and his eyes fell on these people: "You are the same, from tomorrow onwards, you will learn martial arts with your eldest brother, and you must not be lazy." If you don't learn well, your mother won't spare you. ”

This time, it was the turn of these people to become sad, and Lu Yuanyi was secretly happy in his heart, if it weren't for his parents in front of him, he would have jumped up and cheered.

Lu Zhen watched his wife and children's answers, and his heart was warm, this is the life he hopes to live. Now that everything is on the right track in the DPRK and China, and the internal and external enemies have been eliminated, he naturally no longer has to stay in the Suppression Department to be busy with official business, or to deal with some difficult cases from life to death. Staying with your family like this and living a peaceful life is better than anything else.

Of course, in addition to getting older and beginning to miss his relatives in his homeland, the reason why Lu Zhen is so low-key is that he wants to protect himself. It's not that he is afraid that he will be jealous of the officials of the DPRK and China and cause any trouble, but because he is worried about when the Son of Heaven will kill him.

Three years ago, he was ordered by the Son of Heaven to get rid of the Emperor. At that time, because of the urgency of the situation, he naturally did not think too far about the matter, and only thought about getting rid of this scourge once and for all. But when I think about it in hindsight, I'm a little scared.

This is quite an unsightly thing, if only the Son of Heaven had always trusted him. But if one day the emperor became suspicious of him, and then remembered what he had done, he would naturally feel even more uneasy. After all, Zhu Qizhen was also his Lu Jin's monarch at the beginning, and it was not a good reputation to kill the monarch with his ministers, and it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not give birth to the idea that he might also be unfavorable to himself.

In order not to let the Son of Heaven be suspicious of himself, in the past three years, Lu Zhen began to become lazy, and gradually handed over the power in his hands, letting Yang Zhen, Qinggele, Yao Gan and others manage the relevant official affairs in Jinyiwei, and he became the shopkeeper. Even, even in the early dynasty or something, he can push and push, so as to give the Son of Heaven the impression that he just wants to be an idle earl and spend the rest of his life peacefully.

Of course, sometimes when I dream back at midnight, Lu Zhen still misses those thrilling encounters three years ago. Although there were always many dangers at that time, and he might even lose his life, that kind of time made him unforgettable, and he felt that it was not in vain that he traveled to Daming.

But with the change of identity, especially after being tied by his family, Lu Zhen knows very well what he wants next. Let's live a good life so that our family can have a stable and happy future. What's more, now that the government and the opposition have been pacified, and even the White Lotus Sect has been silent, he naturally doesn't have to take any more risks.

Just as Lu Jinxiao watched his wife and children talk, with a happy smile on his face, the housekeeper Han Wutong suddenly rushed over from the front. This domestic servant, who was not very concerned at the beginning, has now become calm and sophisticated, and ordinary things really can't make him look so eager, so after seeing him like this, Lu Jin was stunned: "Is something wrong with Wutong?" ”

"Master, Master Lu from Shandong sent someone over to deliver a letter, saying that something happened at sea." Han Wutong handed a letter to Lu Jin's hand with a solemn expression.

Today's Lu Jin is not like at the beginning, ordinary guests can't see him at all, and those who are slightly closer will be followed by Han Wutong, who is in charge. And the Shandong Master Lu in his mouth is Lu Renjia, who cooperated with Lu Zhen in maritime trade.

After all these years of hard work, coupled with Lu Renjia's extraordinary talent and ability in business, this overseas trade has really done a good job, and in just a few years, it has earned hundreds of thousands of net worth for him and Lu Jin.

Of course, he is also a smart man, knowing that he can have today thanks to Lu Jin's support and support, so he has always been respectful to his junior, and his filial piety is continuous every year, and he also asks his family to send letters and account books from time to time to ask Lu Jin to oversee him.

It is precisely because of his series of practices that the relationship between Lu Jin and him has become closer and closer, and Lu Jin has never shirked anyone who can help in maritime trade.

Unexpectedly, the maritime trade, which had not gone wrong for many years, actually had an incident this time, which made Lu Zhen slightly surprised, and quickly opened the letter and quickly browsed it. At this glance, his brows really furrowed quickly: "There is such a thing?" The merchant ships that sailed from Shandong were shipwrecked one after another, and several fleets and thousands of people failed to turn around......"

After reading the content of this letter, Lu Zhen had to pay attention to it, because it didn't look like a natural disaster at all, but the result of being targeted. If my judgment is correct, I am afraid that this time the matter will not be small, and it is even likely to make those who have stopped before and oppose the opening of the sea speak out again.

"Looks like we're going to have to send some people out there to investigate." Lu Zhen secretly already had an idea. But just when he instructed Han Wutong to let him entertain the visitor and bring his reply that he would solve the matter, another subordinate hurried over: "Master, there is a father-in-law in the palace, saying that he is here to reward His Majesty for the master's previous speech." In addition, there is an oracle to pass on to the master. ”

As soon as Lu Zhen heard this, he quickly stuffed the letter in his hand into his sleeve: "Wutong, you wait for me to entertain you first, and I'll go change my clothes and see the angel again." As he spoke, he instructed his wife and children a few more words, and then hurried back to the backyard, changed into official clothes, and came to the front hall to accept the will.

The eunuch who came to announce the decree didn't dare to take it big in front of Lu Jin, and now who didn't know that Uncle Lu was the most trusted courtier in front of the Son of Heaven, and he was much more important than these slaves and maids. As soon as he saw Lu Jin, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Wanfu, you have once again made a contribution to my Daming, why didn't Your Majesty specially ask the slave maid to pick a few treasures from the inner treasury for you as a reward." As he spoke, some of his attendants brought out a few treasures......
