After thinking about it repeatedly, Lu Zhou still followed his grandfather's advice and took the initiative to report to the emperor, and it turned out that his grandfather was really right.

Lu Zhou entered the palace to meet the emperor, informed him of his life experience and took the initiative to ask for guilt, his words were sincere and reasonable. Who knew that after hearing this, the emperor laughed and helped him up, and said, "Lu Qing, hurry up." ”

The emperor patted him on the shoulder, and his smile was indistinct: "I already know about Lu Qing, Lu Qing is a talented person, and the prince is still young, so I asked Lu Qing to supervise the prince's studies for me with peace of mind." ”

"The minister will do his best to assist the prince." Lu Zhou hurriedly promised.

Lu Zhou stiffened his body, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief when he left the palace and sat in his sedan chair, he widened the button on his neckline, and touched the sweaty underwear inside, only to be glad that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Judging from the emperor's attitude, I am afraid that the emperor will know when his grandfather came to look for him yesterday, and the emperor is waiting for his attitude.

Is this "a companion like a tiger"? He was in a trance.

"Look at your little bit of interest!"

As soon as Lu Zhou got home, he was beaten with the old man's crutches, "Such a little wind and waves scared you?" ”

Su Xi looked a little unbearable, and helped Lu Zhou retort: "Old man, where is this a trivial matter?" If you don't get it right, you'll die. ”

"Hehe, if the emperor still wants to pursue it, the first unlucky one is your little father-in-law," the old man said not politely at all.

He added: "Although that person is not very glorious in the upper position, he has indeed done a lot of real things and promoted many talents over the years, and he can afford to be called the 'Maven'." If he wanted your life, not only would he have expelled the Lu family from the capital, but how could my son and my women and children escape from the pursuers and flee to Sifang City so far away. ”

"Grandfather is saying that the emperor intends to let us go?" Lu Zhou didn't believe this.

"Maybe, I only know that he was powerful when he ascended the throne, and he had an army in his hands, and the court was quickly purged and cleared, and there was time and means to deal with the people left by the emperor, but those who had the heart of retreat are still alive and well, what do you say?"

Lu Zhou's brows were furrowed, and there was sadness in his eyes that could not be dissolved, if it was really as his grandfather said, then what was the point of his father taking them to hide for more than ten years? My father's illness will not get worse and worse, and if he goes early, my mother will not ......

Lu Youzhen on the side also fell into deep thought and did not speak.

"Zhou'er," the old man said earnestly, "Since you choose to be an official, you must listen to all directions, see the situation clearly, and not be limited by your own stubbornness. Your father's heart is still too limited. ”

After he finished speaking, his expression became serious again: "If you can't do this, you might as well go home and farm, and the old man of the province will send the white-haired man to the black-haired man." ”

"Yes," Lu Zhou replied pursed his lips, "Grandson remembers grandfather's teachings. ”

Old man Lu is a very wise old man, I believe that with his mention, Lu Zhou's career will go smoother than others.

After three or five days of reunion, the old man Lu proposed to leave, and Lu Zhou had the intention to stay, but the old man said that he was going to Baishao Village to meet his unfilial son, and then go to Sifang City to hire his unfilial grandson.

What else can Lu Zhou say?

He kowtowed to the old man three times with red eyes.

Jiaoliu Lane gradually returned to its former tranquility, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi discussed going home, and the two set a date and began to buy special products for relatives and friends.

Lunch is naturally on the first floor of the capital, after all, when you go back to Sifang City, you won't have the taste of the first floor.

As soon as the dishes were served, he listened to Lu Feng, who was guarding outside the door—he had been back from Lingnan for several days—and said through the door of the private room: "Childe, the eldest prince is here, and I want to meet you." ”

Zhenxi and the two glanced at each other, and Su Xi changed his position to Lu Youzhen's side and made room for Lu Youze. Lu Youzhen personally got up and opened the door to invite Lu Youze in, and also instructed Xiao Er to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Er was warm and thoughtful, and the speed was fast, and in a blink of an eye, he put new tableware on Lu Youze.

Lu Youzhen didn't ask for wine, so he poured a cup of tea for Lu Youze, the two of them touched a cup, Lu Youzhen warmly beckoned him to eat, but Lu Youze obviously didn't come to eat, he stopped after a few chopsticks, and he refused to open his mouth when he wanted to say something, probably because he was worried about the existence of Su Xi.

Su Xi looked at the two of them and then at the table of deliciousness, and was a little complaining that Lu Youze had come at the wrong time.

She reluctantly put down her chopsticks and prepared to go out, but Lu Youzhen didn't let her, and said to Lu Youze: "Big brother has something to say directly, there is nothing that Su Xi can't listen to." ”

Lu Youze was slightly surprised, he nodded and said, "I heard that you are going back to Sifang City?" ”

"Yes," Lu Youzhen nodded, "It's been more than half a year since we came out, and we can go back at this time to have some fun along the way, and get home just in time for the New Year." ”

"The second brother really doesn't consider staying in the capital? The prince has a very good impression of you, and if you are willing to stay, you will definitely be reused. Lu Youze persuaded him.

Lu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "Big brother doesn't need to say much, I'm used to being lazy, and I don't have any great talents, and I don't know what you said about Situ Youxi, I can't help the prince, and Brother Lu is the talent that the prince should be dedicated to." ”

"Why should the second brother be modest in front of me, Situ Youxi's matter will not be talked about for the time being, the situation in the northwest is now tense, not that anyone can stop if they want to, what I want to say is the group of people in the hands of the second brother."

Lu Youze came prepared, he thought that Lu Youzhen was just relying on Fu Mingxia to open a few shops to save some money for himself, but after careful investigation, he found that Lu Youzhen not only had a large number of shops in his hands, but also a terrible information network.

He suspected that Lu Youzhen had any plans, but Lu Youzhen's friendship with Situ Yelin and Situ Ling was superficial, and he had not been involved with their forces, so he couldn't understand it.

He said: "I know that the second brother has some people who specialize in collecting intelligence for you, and the second brother has never been to the capital before, but he can develop his influence in the capital, which shows the talent of the second brother." ”

Lu Youzhen's face was a little bad, and he asked, "Did you tell the prince?" ”

"Naturally not," Lu Youze smiled slightly, "This is the second brother's thing, and naturally it is also the Lu family's, there is no reason to cheapen others in vain." I just hope that the second brother and I will join forces to assist Mingjun and get back what belongs to our lineage. ”

"Our vein?" Lu You was really shocked, "You want the title of Duke of Ningguo?" ”

"Want? Hmph, that should have been ours, second brother, you have to help the eldest brother. The third brother is a nerd, and the rest of the younger brothers are too young, only you can help me, and we have to go back to the capital in style. ”

"Do you know your plans?" Lu Youzhen asked in a deep voice.

"Father has long been sharpened." There was a bit of disgust on his face.

"So my mother knows, and also, without my mother and eldest sister matchmaking, my eldest brother may not be able to get Prince Lu's help, and I won't have the capital to take refuge in the prince," he instantly understood, "It's my mother who wants to go back to the capital, where can the first noble girl in the capital, who was once in the limelight, really endure growing old silently in such a small place." ”

"So you will hide from everyone in the family and get involved in the battle for the storage position, if you win, you will be your Ning Guogong, and the natural scenery will be infinite; If you lose, the whole family will be buried for you, and they don't even know why the disaster is coming. Lu Youzhen slapped the table, grabbed Lu Youze's collar and questioned him.
