Lu Bing bought a large piece of land next to Qi Jingtong's ancestral house, although the Shandong people are stubborn and old-fashioned, what ancestral house can't be sold and what ancestral family rules are very exquisite, but they are also very honest, in the face of Lu Bing's perfect money and Xia Dade's coaxing and scare, plus Meng Xueqing's sense of offensive, they have been shaken, the Lu family is not unreasonable, and has given everyone enough profits, so that the relocation has become a good thing, and most of the residents around have moved within three days. Lu Bingzhi smiled and said that his husband and wife should travel back together with Xia Dade, and it would be good to have a demolition team.

Lu Bing didn't immediately build a large house, but he simply enclosed the land and surrounded Qi Jingtong's ancestral house. Dengzhou is not big, and the town where Qi Jingtong's family is located is even smaller, so everyone in the whole town knows that there is a huge rich man from outside, a young man surnamed Lu, although he is rich, he is not arrogant, he is polite and humble to people, and he is also full of esophagus to the workers who help with the construction. According to people who have seen Lu Bing, the lord surnamed Lu has a Confucian style but is as powerful as a god, like a Confucian general, and wants to inquire, but the people of the Lu Mansion know the rules very well, and they don't talk nonsense at all, and they don't talk about the identity of their master, so everyone begins to change from curiosity to respect.

Qi Jingtong's family has been very panicked recently, and the neighbors around them have moved away one by one, and when they inquired, they actually spent a lot of money to buy their ancestral home, thinking that it would soon be their turn and they could take the opportunity to get some money to improve their lives. Although the old lady of the Qi family was a little unhappy, saying that this was worthy of her ancestors, she could only accept it for the sake of life, how could she think that she would not have her own letter for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Qi Jingtong does not have much money in Beijing. There is a lot of entertainment, what is the civil official's son who is married, or the military general has taken a concubine. In short, there are banquets everywhere that need to be gifted, which is a standing thing, since it is in the officialdom, it cannot be excused, and the money sent home after the most is very little, and it is pitiful, far less generous than when he was the chief military officer of the Shandong Bei Japanese Army. In addition, Qi Jingtong never embezzled or deducted military salaries, sold grain and grass privately, and at the end of the day, he was not as thick as a hundred households.

Now Qi Jingtong's family is a little embarrassed, but something even more embarrassing happened, and everyone around him was bought. As for them, they didn't, but they were surrounded by other people's mansions, and they couldn't help but worry. Could it be that Qi Jingtong's enemies in the capital came to bully people? But after thinking about it, I felt that it was unlikely, although my family was considered a meritorious service, but it was not very good in this hometown. There is no real power in hand, not to mention that the man in the family is still outside. Now it is no better than when Qi Jingtong was the chief soldier of the Japanese army, and it can be said that he is helpless. There are many ways to rectify them, and they can find a few ruffians and hooligans who can smash the door every day, how can they use such a large amount of hard work, and it takes a lot of money to buy land and build a house like this.

Lu Bing's mansion was built day by day, and Qi Jingtong's wife Zhang couldn't hold her breath anymore, and after thinking about it for a long time, she really couldn't think of a reason. I can only visit the door to ask what is going on. After finding a good day, Zhang changed into a punctual outfit. Mustered up the courage to knock on the door of the Lu Mansion, the porter was an old man brought by the capital, and asked in a loud accent: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Dare to ask if Master Lu is at home?" Zhang asked.

"What's the matter, tell me first." The porter saw that Zhang's clothes were a little shabby, so he crossed Erlang's legs and said, there have been many beggars in the past few days, at first it was Lu Bing or a few ladies who gave alms in person, and then they really couldn't take care of it, so they asked the porter to make it clear, the rice should be taken on credit, and the noodles should be taken for the rice, obviously at this time the porter regarded Zhang's as a meal.

Zhang lowered his head and said: "I am from the Qi family next door, and I am here to visit Master Lu today" Before Zhang finished speaking, the porter ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "Master, the people of the Qi family have found it" The voice continued to spread farther and farther, Zhang couldn't help but marvel at why the porter was so surprised, as if he was a man-eating demon, and couldn't help but hurriedly touch his face and body to see if there was anything scary. The second is to marvel at the size of the Lu Mansion, and the shouts can resonate, which is really amazing.

The porter didn't dare to slack off, and when they first moved over, everyone didn't know what Lu Dao Lu Bing was going to do, why he just left the Qi family and didn't let them relocate. Lu Bing solemnly stated that he was not allowed to embarrass the relatives of his family, and he had to be courteous, and when the relatives came to him, he must immediately pass it, so the current situation was formed.

Zhang was standing at the gate and was wondering, and Lu Bing walked out quickly. As the saying goes, if you want to be filial piety, Lu Bing's little white shoes and tall and straight body suddenly made people feel very energetic, Lu Bing walked quickly, held his hands into fists, raised them high above the top and bowed deeply, and said, "Meet my sister-in-law." ”

"Master Lu, get up quickly, please get up quickly, how can the slave family afford this, what are you?" Zhang said busily, and Lu Bing smiled: "Sister-in-law, look at what this is." Saying that, Lu Bing handed the letter written by Qi Jingtong to Zhang, Zhang opened the envelope and read it, and Lu Bing immediately said: "Brother Shixian and I are good brothers who were born and died. ”

"You're Lord Lu?" Hearing this, Zhang suddenly looked up at Lu Bing and asked, Lu Bing replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you know me?" ”

"Of course, my lord said to the slave family last time, and he praised Lord Lu for his character, and said that you left soldiers and horses to help him. After that, I wrote many times, saying that Lord Lu, you are the pillar of the imperial court, the virtuous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you are a star and hope in the decaying court. Zhang said.

Lu Bing arched his hand again and again: "Sister-in-law, don't say it, I should be embarrassed to say it again." And don't call it Lord Lu anymore, I have resigned now, and one of the reasons why I came to settle in Dengzhou this time is precisely because of Brother Shixian's entrustment, I think the letter should be explained clearly. By the way, sister-in-law, you come in with me first, sit down and take a good look at the letter that Brother Shixian wrote to you, and I am going to go to see the old lady. ”

"Okay." Zhang's family agreed, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars, and Zhang was also eager to read Qi Jingtong's family letter carefully.

—————————————————————————————————————

The tiled houses of the Qi family were built seven or eight years ago, and Shandong is windy and Dengzhou is located by the sea. The wind is even stronger, and the tiled house is inevitably a little dilapidated after a few years. At this time, Mrs. Qi was sitting in the room, twisting the rosary beads and reciting the Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.

Zhang pushed the door in and said, "Mom." A noble man has come to the house. ”

The old lady opened her eyes and looked out of the door, outside the door Lu Bing was still dressed in a white robe and was full of spirits, followed by the slaves of the family and the courtyard carrying various gift boxes and gifts, the old lady couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Dare to ask whose son this is?" ”

"Mom, this is Master Lu next door to us. Before he finished speaking, Lu Bing stepped forward in three steps and two steps, regardless of the white clothes on his body. He knelt down after kneeling, and after kneeling, he kowtowed, and said, "The little nephew will meet Mrs. Qi." ”

The old lady and the teenager had never seen such a formation, so they hurriedly asked the Zhang family to help Lu Bing up. The three of them talked about their daily routines. Only then did the old lady realize that the old man who had spread his name in Dengzhou and the new rich man Lu turned out to be the same person, and they were also the life and death brothers of her son Qi Jingtong.

The old lady pulled Lu Bingxu and chattered, it turned out that Qi Jingtong's ancestor Qi Shen followed Emperor Taizu Gao to fight in the south and the north, and died in Yunnan after the last battle, which gave the Qi family a hereditary official position, and appointed the commander of Dengzhou. This kind of hereditary official position has always been passed down for only three generations, and it has become a position with no real power, which is also one of the redundant officials that Yang Tinghe wanted to abolish before.

The Qi family is sure that the same is true. One generation is not as good as the next, but much better than most hereditary families. They were still able to lead troops, and although their power was a little lower with each generation, they were still doing well. Qi Jingtong's uncle had no children, so he succeeded Qi Jingtong to his uncle, and the eldest son inherited the hereditary throne according to the etiquette law.

Since then, Qi Jingtong's luck and misfortune have begun, after the death of his biological father, the uncle who succeeded Qi Jingtong, that is, Qi Jingtong's father, also died, and Qi Jingtong had just turned six years old at that time. Under the age of age, it cannot be hereditary, so the family begins to be less difficult year by year.

Qi Jingtong's mother Yan was still very young, and many people wanted her to remarry, and some came to matchmaking. However, the Yan family was determined to start from the beginning and never remarry, which simply pulled Qi Jingtong up, so there is a reason why Qi Jingtong is so filial to the civilization of a hundred miles.

Lu Bing sat next to the old lady, and the old lady helped Lu Bing pat the dust left on his clothes because of kneeling, while talking about the old past. Lu Bing listened and said: "Old lady, I didn't come to visit immediately, I just wanted to wait for the yard to be repaired, and then come over and ask you what you mean, if you are willing to move in with me. I am like a brother to Shixian, and this time he entrusted it, so I should do my filial piety for him. What do you mean, old lady?"

"In this case, it's not good for me to pretend to be high, old lady, so I will answer your wishes, and I should enjoy happiness in this half a year, but I will trouble you in this way." The old lady and Lu Bing hit it off at first sight, and immediately agreed.

Lu Bing breathed a long sigh of relief, and he was afraid that the Qi family would have a strong temper and a hard backbone, and if he didn't go over, he wouldn't let down Qi Jingtong. Now that everything is fine, Lu Bing said happily: "No trouble, no trouble, you are just like my own mother, this relationship is good, everything is complete." After Lu Bing finished speaking, he shouted at the subordinates outside the door: "Come in, help the old lady pack up her things, let's go home!" ”

—————————————————————————————————————

Although Lu Bing didn't take advantage of the gold and silver mountains, it was no problem to eat the family's belongings for a lifetime, but where was Lu Bing who could be idle, so he completed the things his brother explained, picked up the old woman of the Qi family, and after completing his own courtyard, he began to find out if he could do something.

Lu Bing locked himself in the room and thought about it, seven days later, Lu Bing broke through the barrier, and when he went out, he called his subordinates to bring needles and threads, and the subordinates were puzzled but had to act according to orders, but this surprised Meng Xueqing and others who got the news, except for Xiaorui, the rest of the men, women and children gathered in front of the door that Lu Bing closed again. Meng Xueqing stepped forward and asked, "Master, master?" "They are a little worried, Lu Bing is serious and they know the truth, they are only worried that if they go down like this for a few days, the master will be stunned.

The door slowly opened, Lu Bing jumped out, and looked at everyone: "It's all here, come and see, what is this?" (To be continued......)
