A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 506 Continue to Play Music and Dance

The outer city of Youzhou, Lulongfang.

Lu's house is decorated with lanterns and festoons.

There is a lot of traffic in front of the door, and guests gather.

Fan Yang Lu Wulang hosted a banquet, and no one who received the invitation would not come. Lu Wulang, the 'inspector of the governor of Youzhou', must definitely give the face.

What's more, the host and guest of Lu Wulang's banquet today is the new governor of Youzhou, who is like a thunderbolt even for them on the border of the empire.

Former Prime Minister, Emperor Xin, Prince Shaobao, Ji Xiang and a series of titles.

"Have you heard that Wu Shaobao wants to accept Lu Wulang's younger sister as a concubine?"

"Which sister?"

"I heard it's Lu 35's mother."

Lu 35's mother is a concubine, but her status is much higher than that of ordinary concubines. She is quite famous.Lu Chengqing Lu Chengye's mother is Lanling Xiao, the great-granddaughter of King Poyang of the Southern Liang Dynasty.When she married Lu Chisong, she also brought her concubine, who was also a daughter of the Lanling Xiao family, her cousin.

Because of this, although Lu 35 was born as a concubine, she was matched with Xiao Shi as her aunt. The Lu Chengqing brothers have always loved this much younger sister like a daughter.

"I heard that Mrs. Lu 35 is very powerful. She kicked out many people who came to ask for marriage."

Lu 35 is quite famous in Youzhou, not only is the jewel in the palm of the Lu family, but also this girl likes to disguise herself as a woman, but she is also good at riding and shooting. But this does not prevent her from often going out of the city to ride and shoot, or go to a restaurant with a group of gentry children to listen to music, watch dances, etc.
But if ordinary noblemen want to marry this, she still looks down on her.

In the twinkling of an eye, Lu 35 has become an old girl in her [-]th year, and the people of Youzhou are used to seeing this splendidly dressed man riding a horse through the city. Who would have thought that he would marry Wu Huaiyu now?
"Unexpectedly, Lu Wulang would marry Lu 35 to Wu Huaiyu as a concubine. It seems that the Lu family is a little afraid of this military governor?"

"What are you afraid of? It's called marriage and alliance. The Taiyuan Wu family is indeed not a famous family, but how does the Wu family get favored today?
There are two dukes of the state, three dukes of the county, one viscount and two barons, three governors and one governor. There are dozens of sons and daughters who are officials and honors.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the whole court, there are not many upstarts who are so favored. "

"That's right, who are the wives and concubines of this man? The daughter of Duke Ying is the official wife, the two granddaughters of Duke Tan are concubines, the three sisters of the Fan family are concubines, and the grand-nieces of Duan Decao and Yun Dingxing are concubines. "

"And the adopted granddaughter of Duke Yongkang Li Jing is also his concubine."

"There are also Tang family, Han family, Gao family, etc. who used to be quite famous."

······
Many guests whispered to each other, discussing in low voices.

"You said that the Lu family is like this, then we can only follow the arrangement of Mr. Wu?"

"Then what else do you want? Didn't you see the guard of honor when he entered the city?

Double banners and double festivals, inherit the system and worship the seal. "

"This is a privilege that Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang, did not have before when he paid homage to the governor of Youzhou."

"Yeah, recently one after another came to Youzhou. Let's know the times and be a hero. Be careful. Don't let the new official take office three times, and burn it on our heads first."

The lights are on.

Wu Huaiyu rushed forward and rushed forward.

Even if he came to the night banquet at Lu's house, Wu Huaiyu would bring three hundred knights with him, all of them were transferred by the emperor from the Hundred and Thousand Knights of the Forbidden Army, and he would also have his own family soldiers and attendants by his side.

Although the other governors are envoys and festivals, they are only examples, and there are very few real festivals, but Wu Huaiyu not only holds festivals, but also doubles the festival.

Those four martial arts disciples came out with double banners and double festivals, which was extremely intimidating, which represented the special authority bestowed by the emperor.

Behind him was Li Jinxing, the thirteenth son of the governor of Yanzhou, and Wu Huaiyu's newly adopted son even held the Kanling clapping knife bestowed by the emperor.

Wu Huaiyu didn't wear a purple robe and jade belt today, but a colorful silk armor instead.

The colorful silk armor is very realistic and beautiful, as if wearing a real set of imperial bestowed Mingguang mountain pattern armor.

He rode his horse all the way to Lu Chengye's gate.

The middle door of the Lu family was wide open, and Lu Chengye waited at the door with his children. Among the children, Lu 35's mother turned into Lu 35 Lang, and the man in the brocade robe and jade belt was also standing there, sizing up the fiancé carefully with a pair of red phoenix eyes.

Wu Huaiyu, who was dressed in silk armor, rode the Dawan horse of Kangguo in the Western Regions specially bestowed by the emperor. It was also called a bloody horse. It was extremely tall and golden.

Tall and handsome.

Prestigious.

Lu 35's mother was a little stunned. She had never seen such a mighty and handsome man, who broke into her heart all of a sudden, and made her heart beat a little faster.

Over the years, there have been too many children from famous families who proposed marriage, but although she was favored at home, after all, concubines and concubines came from concubines, and most of the people who really came to propose marriage were the offshoots of the famous families.

She doesn't care much about status.

But some of those so-called famous boys really looked pretty good, but none of them really caught her fancy. Before, she couldn't figure out what she really wanted, so she felt that she should find someone who was in the same business as Cheng Qing. Brother and the others are both civil and military.

But when she saw Wu Huaiyu today, the feeling that hit her heart directly made her realize that she seemed to be waiting for such a man.

"Sister, how is it?"

Lu Chengye turned his head to ask her, but seeing her in a daze, he couldn't help smiling.

Wu Huaiyu is young but holds a high position and has experienced many things. He even went up the mountain to practice Taoism with immortals. He really has an aura that even he admires.

The captain of the imperial guard who was guarding shouted, and all the knights stopped together.

Iron armor clang clang.

The murderous aura shocked those powerful and powerful families in Youzhou. The feeling of this murderous aura rushing towards the face made people feel tight and uncomfortable.

Wu Huaiyu dismounted from his horse, his movements were handsome.

Lu Chengye hurried forward to greet him.

"Wu Dudu is here, the humble house is full of splendor."

The house of the Lu family is not simple at all. In the 28th square of Youzhou City, his house occupies a quarter of Lulong Square. It is said that because Mrs. Xiao is from the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family also put a lot of thought into it for the Xiao family. Created a Jiangnan garden,
Small bridges and flowing water, winding paths leading to seclusion, one step at a time, one scene at a time.

The stones and timber transported from Taihu Lake were also harvested in Sichuan.

Lotus pond, water pavilion.

The courtyard in front is deep and consists of several corridors, and there is also a polo field in the back.

The Lu's banquet is also extremely delicate, with all kinds of delicious food and wine emerging one after another, and the candles used in the hall are all spiced.

It is estimated that ordinary people cannot buy one candle with their annual income.

First of all, the furniture and objects are very exquisite, and the exquisite white porcelain produced by Xingjiao is white and flawless.The celadon produced in Yuezhou is also very charming.

Several cases of red sandalwood.

Even the incense stove in the hall is an exquisite copper crane stove, the incense smells very good, it is absolutely extraordinary.

There are also many young and beautiful maidservants serving in the hall, and those who pass the dishes are all young and beautiful maidservants.

There are even people playing and dancing while eating.

Wu Huaiyu also often went to the palace for banquets, and even had a meal with Li Shimin from time to time. The emperor rarely had such pomp and luxury.

"Lu 35, I would like to offer a sword dance for the military governor!"

Not long after the banquet started, the song ended.

Suddenly Lu 35 came out with a sword in hand.

Before Wu Huaiyu could answer, Lu 35, dressed in men's attire, began to wield his long sword.

The elegance and agility of this sword dance amazed everyone.

Wu Huaiyu can even tell that this sword is not only fancy, but also of a real level that can be used in actual combat, and it is not low.

After the dance, Wu Huaiyu took the lead in high-five.

When Lu 35 came in front of Huaiyu, he took off his hair and pulled his hair away. His long hair fell loose, and suddenly the heroic 35 Lang turned into a heroic and handsome 35 girl.

"I am Lu 35's mother, can I ask the military governor a question."

Huaiyu also knew that Li Jinyan proposed marriage to Lu Chengye for him, and Lu Chengye promised his sister Lu 35niang to him.

Unexpectedly, it was the sword dance master in front of him.

Seeing her tall and slender, with long legs and thin waist, and a heroic face, she was a little surprised.

"Please say."

"If I follow Mr. Wu, can I still go out to ride horses and hunt in the future? Can I still dress up as men, play polo with others, and go to wine shops to drink?"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Huaiyu chuckled, this Lu 35's mother is really different from others in every way.

"If the girl likes it, she can do it."

"Really?" Lu 35's mother was surprised.

"real."

Many disciples from famous families in the hall, upon hearing this conversation, they all bluntly said that it was absurd.

"Is your Wu family so unruly?" Lu 35's mother asked.

"I heard that Fan Yang's Lu family is the most disciplined. Since the Lu family has allowed the girl to do this all these years, it means that the girl also understands the rules and etiquette, and has never crossed the line, so I trust the girl."

Lu 35niang carefully looked at Wu Huaiyu for a long time, "Okay, I trust you, pick a day and come pick me up."

After finishing speaking, she turned and left, walked a few steps, but turned around again, and handed the sword in her hand to Wu Huaiyu, "This is for you."

Wu Huaiyu took it, and simply untied a jade pendant from his waist and gave it back.

"this is for you."

Lu 35 accepted it with a smile, and left happily.

Lu Chengye was a little embarrassed, and quickly apologized to Huaiyu.

Wu Huaiyu smiled, "I like Lingmei's appearance very much."

"Come on, keep playing, keep dancing!"

The banquet continued.

Wu Huaiyu was very happy at the night banquet of the Lu family.

The owner, Cheng Lu Ye, was also very happy, and when he was happy, he handed Wu Huaiyu a booklet in public, which is the account book of all the fields of Fanyang Lu's family.

The Lu family actually took the initiative to hand over the real account of their own farmland to Wu Huaiyu, and Lu Chengye publicly stated that the Lu family will pay the grain for this year's righteous warehouse according to the number of mu in this account book, and pay two liters per mu, and all will be paid into the warehouse by the end of this month. One grain is not much.

This is not a small number.

That's tens of thousands of stone righteous granaries.

This example caught the famous and powerful families in Youzhou a little off guard.

But Lu Shi just did it.

Before giving away a Lu 35 lady, everyone still felt a little bit of a joke, thinking that this Lu 35 lady would not be able to marry even a 20-year-old girl, so it would be interesting to give it to Wu Huaiyu as a concubine.

But now that he handed over his real field book to Wu Huaiyu, and also handed over the righteous warehouse grain according to the real mu, it was a bit big.

Since Mrs. Lu brought this head, should we hand in the field records or not?To pay or not to pay for grain?

The terrible thing is that Lu Chengye sent his sister to hand in the field certificate to guarantee the grain, and then turned around and started to ask the famous people who came to the banquet one by one for Wu Huaiyu, and asked them when they would hand in the book and grain.

It's embarrassing for everyone.

Finally had to express my opinion.

The head of the Shanggu Hou family had no choice but to express their position and hand in the book to pay the grain, and the other families had to make promises one by one.

The governors of Youzhou sent by the imperial court may dare to perfunctory and deceive them, but in Youzhou, there are really few who dare not give Fan Yanglu face in public.

Many people don't understand why the Lu family is so cowardly this time?

Is it because Lu Zushang refused to go to Jiaozhou to be the governor before, and the fact that his head was cut off by the emperor frightened them?

Or are they afraid of this young military commander who always smiles?
Is he really that scary?
