Chapter 691, Weakness
Three days later, Lu Youxia did not go home normally, and sent Dajiang back, saying that he would go to Lu's house first and would not come back for dinner.
Who knew that at dinnertime, when Yan Yan and Lu Jin were about to start, Lu You ran back again.
It turned out that Lu Ming somehow figured it out again, agreed to join the separation, went to the prison to see Yan Yu yesterday, the two drafted a letter of separation on the spot, and when they came out of the prison, Lu You personally sent it to Yan's mansion, and talked with Yan Peng for more than half an hour, Yan Peng finally agreed to return the three children to the Lu family.
So, after the court this morning, Lu Ming took the initiative to ask the emperor and promised to go to Youzhou early the next morning to take office, in fact, others had passed as early as early February, and he was more than a month late.
After going down, Lu Duan found Lu You and asked him to go back to Lu's house to send Lu Ming together, saying that it would be a good brother, and it would take three years to say goodbye.
Lu You didn't want to agree, but he was afraid that Lu Duan would come to make noise about Yan Yan, so he followed Lu Duan after a while.
But the two sat together and really didn't have anything to say, they were more alienated and embarrassed from each other, and maybe there was hatred, so Lu You sat for a while and came back.
As soon as Yan Yan heard that Lu Ming was leaving, she hurriedly asked Zhou Wanlai, Zhou Wan was taken back to Lu's house by Lu Ming on the day of the verdict to give birth, Yan Yan wanted to know if Lu Ming would take her to Youzhou.
"No, she stayed in the Lu family to take care of these concubines, and the three concubines are said to be brought to Youzhou, and he will teach them personally." After Lu You finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Yan Yan's words, "Lady, you said that the prodigal son will not change his money, could it be that he really repented?" ”
It is said that the only condition for Lu Ming to agree to leave is to take back the three children and teach them personally, he said that even if Lu Yuan really becomes a fool, then this is also his son, and he admits it.
"It's not good, he must have listened to the imperial doctor, if he teaches well, he may be able to take care of himself, so he wants to try it himself?" Yan Yan couldn't figure this out.
At the beginning, because Lu You couldn't speak, almost no one in the Lu family recognized his existence, and only asked him to have a meal with everyone during the New Year and when there were no outsiders; Also, Wang Shixiu's family also has a foolish child, who is still raised in Zhuangzi, and it is said that he is also ashamed to admit it to the outside world.
Therefore, Yan Yan really didn't expect Lu Ming to have this responsibility, he must take it with him personally, and he must teach it in person.
However, this is in response to a sentence, people are multifaceted and complex, good people and bad people are relative, but as long as they are people, they can always find a certain shining point from him, or in other words, weakness.
"That's it, for the sake of those three children, as long as he doesn't mess with me in the future, I will let it go and won't target him again." Yan Yan said.
"Okay, that's what I mean, but there's one thing, I still don't want to go back to the Lu family, it's boring." Lu You remembered Lu Duan's proposal to move back during the New Year's Festival, just to accompany the old lady.
But the question is, where are all these years of alienation and hatred so easy to eliminate? Rather than everyone being awkward together, it is better to be separated and comfortable.
Yan Yan agreed to him.
After Lu Ming left, the matter between the Yan and Lu families finally came to an end, according to the nurse and Qingbi, they came back and said that with Lu Ming's departure, there was much less discussion on the street, but there was one point, Lu Ming's departure with his three children won him a lot of embarrassment and favor.
No matter what he did before, but in the end, the reputation of a good husband and father was established.
Yan Yan did not judge whether his move was a show, from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that he would find a conscience, be willing to be a good father, and would be a good father.
With Lu Ming's departure, Yan Yan also completely let go of his past grievances, raised his baby with peace of mind, taught his husband and children with peace of mind, read books or something in his spare time, and lived a comfortable life.
Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, without waiting for the old lady to send someone to pick up, Yan Yan first sent someone to the Lu family to send a festival gift, saying that she was a month old, and it was just a matter of the past few days, so she didn't dare to move around at will.
Mrs. Lu also rejected Yan Yan's proposal, because Zhou Wan was in confinement, she had just given birth to a daughter, in addition, Lu Ming also had several concubines and concubines, and the old lady was reluctant to leave them behind, saying that they were all pitiful and did not have a father's pain, and the biological mother was a maid with little knowledge, so the old lady gathered the fourth generation of these concubines around her, and she guarded it personally, which happened to relieve her loneliness, which was a double win.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhou Haisheng went to Zhuangzi to inspect it, and came back to bring Yan Yan a bad news, saying that this year's drought will inevitably reduce wheat production, Mingzhuang is okay, there is a river, the impact is not particularly big, but it is difficult to say in other Zhuangzi.
Fortunately, Zhou Haisheng said that there are more people who go to Mingzhuang to enjoy the flowers this year, and the income of this piece is more than in the past, plus the income from those fruit trees, it should be worth the reduction in wheat production.
As soon as Yan Yan put down this matter, Lu You received a handwritten letter from Zhou Lu, also saying that the Khitan was also in a great drought and the grain production was reduced, so could he sell 100,000 stone of grain to them in case of urgent need.
Lu You showed the letter to Yan Yan, and after Yan Yan thought about it, he asked him to take the letter to the emperor and ask the emperor what he meant first, because from her personal point of view, she would never be able to raise the 100,000 stone grain.
Of course, Yan Yan also knew that Li Cong couldn't raise it, but she had an idea, she wanted to do this business, Da Zhou couldn't raise this grain, but Da Zhou's yakam may not be able to raise 100,000 stones, not to mention anything else, near the capital, Yan Yan's family alone planted thousands of acres of land, and the yield of this thing is high, the yield per mu is basically more than 1,000 catties, and the good ones can even reach 2,000 catties.
In addition, Yan Yan also had an idea, wanting to buy some grain from Nanyue or Dali, and it just so happened that during this period, she bought a lot of exquisite embroidery, silk and porcelain, and she planned to use these to go to Nanyue and Dali to exchange for some grain and medicinal materials to sell to Liao, and finally exchange some precious medicinal materials and furs from Liao.
Half of Yan Yan's ship can be delivered, and she wants to try it from the inland sea first, so as to accumulate some experience for opening up open sea routes in the future.
This suggestion was accepted by Li Cong, but there was one point, he did not approve of selling the potatoes of the Great Zhou to the Liao State, because in the real year of the Great Famine, the yams were also life-saving food.
But in any case, Yan Yan got Li Cong's permission, so she ordered Zhou Haisheng to go to Zhuangzi and draw out more than 100 men aged eighteen to thirty who knew water, these men were selected at the beginning of spring, and they had been training water-based during this time, these hundred people formed a caravan, the leader was Zhou Haisheng, the bodyguards were four Dajiang, and they also brought some small crossbows and gunpowder for self-defense, and they pulled fifty mule carts south.
