These five courtyards are indeed quite a lot, if you count them before and after, it is equivalent to five sets of courtyards next to each other, adding up to hundreds of houses.

Just the Xu family, Xiao Wu, Lu Xueyu and Wang Zhen'er are very rich.

One person, one courtyard, with slaves, can be regarded as really having the rules of a high-ranking family.

Of course, at this point, all the rules of the high-ranking families have been established, and the front and back yards are clearly distinguished.

Mama Li is still the housekeeper of the backyard, and everything has to be done in her hands, after all, the Xu family can't stand up, if she can't manage the backyard anymore, then the backyard will be chaotic.

As soon as Lu Jian'an arrived in the backyard, a maid immediately opened a curtain for him.

"Madam, the uncle is here."

Xu Shi greeted with a smile a long time ago, "You kid hasn't been busy lately and can't see your shadow at all, I haven't seen you for ten days, although we can't see you kid in a yard, do you say I should beat you?" ”

The child she raised knew in her heart, of course she understood that this child could do this step today, of course, because this child was from a different background, and he was indeed a dragon species favored by God.

And I can enjoy such blessings only because of my own nurturing grace.

To put it bluntly, Xu is a person with a weak personality, but he is really good-hearted.

It was because she raised Lu Jian'an as her own child that she was able to reap this blessing.

Otherwise, according to Lu Jian'an's temperament, he would have run away from home impatiently, the sky is high and the sea is wide for birds to fly, where is not life with his means, why bother to bring two oil bottles.

That's exactly what happened. These two became his bonds.

"Mother, it's really my son's, the recent business of the silk village, there are too many piles, and my son can only sleep for two hours a day when he is busy. I don't have time to say hello to you. ”

She's also guilty.

"Look at you, why do we still talk like this, my mother is just joking with you, where is it really embarrassing for you. Mama Li told me a long time ago that you are busy in the front yard, and you have lost a lot of weight recently, and you only eat a little bit of a meal. ”

"For my mother, I specially asked Mama Li to stew bird's nest for you every day and send it over, you must take good care of your body, you are the pillar of our family."

Xu looked at Lu Jian'an, and his heart was full of love.

It's love from the heart.

"Okay, mother, you have people send you a cup of bird's nest every day, and I want to vomit a little bit when I eat it. I'm here to tell you something. ”

Lu Jian'an is not a person who is used to enjoyment, what bird's nest ginseng stews porridge for him to drink all day long, he really can't enjoy this blessing.

As long as he is more refined in eating, he is not a picky eater.

The only one to pick is their cook. Under his teachings, all kinds of food can be made.

To put it bluntly, the chef from the famous restaurant outside will probably be an eye-opener when he comes to their house, after all, their dishes are absolutely invisible outside.

A variety of modern dishes have long been moved here.

But any silk merchant who has eaten a banquet at Lu's house, which one is not praised, this Mr. Lu is a person who has enjoyed the blessing of the mouth, and he can actually adjust his own cook to this extent.

This is also a capable person.

I'm afraid that even if this Mr. Lu doesn't do silk business and changes to a restaurant business, it will be popular all over the country.

The things that have been eaten at the Lu family are never eaten outside, and the cook may not be able to figure it out when he goes back.

"An'er, what do you want you to tell me, what is it about?" Xu is very self-aware, not only Lu Jian'an's affairs, she doesn't interfere at all, and she doesn't want to take care of the affairs in the backyard, so all the mundane affairs in the backyard are handed over to Mama Li, and even her eldest daughter to take care of.

After all, there is no master who is inappropriate, so Lu Xueyu is now the master of the backyard in the family.

Lu Xueyu felt inappropriate at first, she discussed with her mother, in fact, her younger brother can already start to find a way to marry at this age, once the younger brother marries his daughter-in-law and children after he marries home, in fact, there is a housewife at home who can take care of things in the backyard.

After all, with his younger brother's current wealth and status, it is not impossible to really marry a famous lady.

How did she know that as soon as she and Xu talked about this, Xu shook his head again and again.

"Let you take care of it, don't talk so much nonsense, your brother naturally has his own plans, and if he doesn't agree with his relatives, who do you think can let him marry?" Xu's heart is bitter.

Where can this son of his own marry his daughter-in-law and come back? It would be a sin to marry him back.

But this kind of big secret, where does she dare to tell anyone, not even her daughter.

So Lu Xueyu, who had all kinds of suspicions and strange things in her heart, took office.

It's very strange to be the head of his mother's backyard.

"Mother, I want to go to Beijing."

"The emperor ordered the Linjiang palace to select silk for worship, I am a member of the Jiangnan silk merchants, the Lu family is inseparable, I must go."

Xu Shi was already panicked when he heard this.

"How come, could it be that the prince has already ......?"

Don't look at the Xu family, she doesn't care about the world, but she already knows the situation of King Linjiang.

Back then, the prince of Linjiang did not completely hand over the military power, which was enough to make the emperor angry.

The emperor's attitude towards the Linjiang Royal Mansion over the years has long been discussed in the eyes of outsiders, and even ordinary people are probably very clear.

What's more, she naturally knows that there is no benefit in getting involved with the prince of Linjiang.

"Mother, don't guess, it's probably not that the prince has something to do, maybe this prince wants to see me, and deliberately set a trap, after all, what is more reasonable than the excuse of making a birthday coat for the prince, and the emperor is more happy."

Lu Jian'an naturally knew that this Linjiang prince was a thorn in the emperor's eye.

If you want to say that you are dying now to make a shroud, the emperor will naturally give this dignity, of course, it is also for the world to see, you can see how much the emperor respects this brother.

did not hesitate to gather silk merchants from all over the world to select silk supplies for the prince.

This is how decent and glorious it is, and it is the emperor's favor.

But who wouldn't have guessed? The emperor may not want to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

"You...... Go ahead! ”

Xu was reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that this was Lu Jian'an's biological father, and she had no reason to prevent other fathers and daughters from recognizing each other.

This is human, but also the way of heaven.

If King Linjiang wanted to, it would be impossible for Lu Jian'an to stay here and become a silk merchant.

"Mother! Don't worry, I will always be Lu Jian'an Lu Jian'an of the Lu family, and my son is your son. Lu Jian'an appeased the Xu family, how could he not know the entanglement and worry in Xu's heart.
