my grandfather was qin shi huang

For a time, glory came to him. Wherever he went, he heard warm and kind words, as if many good sisters suddenly appeared out of thin air. This kind of treatment, let alone Lu Yu, who had a somewhat out-of-touch temperament. Even the always calm Lu Pheasant, although always modest and courteous on the surface, couldn't help but feel a little drifting in his heart.

This lively situation lasted for half a month before gradually dissipating.

The Liu family's current residence was given to them by Zhao Ying when Lu Pheasant entered Xianyang. It used to be pretty good, but looking back now, it feels a little cramped and cannot keep up with the respectability of the Liu family.

"Sister, I have asked people about several good yards in the past few days. Would you like to take the time to go and see for yourself..."

Lu Pheasant couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

"Now, we are the only two sisters living in the house. This courtyard is actually enough to live in. Why don't we wait until your brother-in-law comes back to discuss it?"

Lu Yu saw that her sister was actually moved, so she continued to encourage her.

"Sister, what is there to discuss? You know, in Xianyang City, it is no better than in our countryside. Every inch of land is expensive, and a house is hard to find. However, decent houses are in high demand. I don't know how many people there are. I’m watching. If you don’t buy it now, after passing this village, there may not be this store..."

When she said this, she was very considerate and honest.

"Now my brother-in-law is a dignified chariot commander and the general of Zhenxi. Wouldn't it be a joke if he continues to live in this small house after he comes back? It's not like you don't know that there were many guests in the house in the past few days. At that time, there was no place to stay in this family..."

Lu Pheasant seemed to be touched by this sentence and nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go over there and take a look together when we have time. If the price is right, then we can get it first so that when your brother-in-law comes back, we can have a place to entertain guests..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lu Yu who was aside.

"By the way, don't go out and run around these days. Go out with me to buy some furniture. A few days ago, I sent a letter to Aweng and the others, inviting them to come and stay for a while. Don't worry about it. There is no preparation..."

When Lu Yu heard this, she almost jumped up in excitement.

However, he soon became a little discouraged.

"When Aweng comes here, he has to take care of things again. He doesn't have any freedom at all..."

Seeing his sister's expression, Lu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and stood up.

"It's time for Aweng to come over and discipline you. Let's see what you have become like in Xianyang and Duye recently..."

When Lu Yu heard this, she became a little unhappy.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. I'm so wild. I'm with you at home every day. I haven't even gone out of the door..."

Lu Zhi couldn't help but stop and said with a half-smile.

"Really? Then tell me, sister, what happened to the young man riding the red horse a few days ago..."

When Lu Yu heard this, her pretty face turned red and she stamped her feet angrily.

"Well, that was just something I met occasionally when I went out last time. I just talked to him a few times. Don't talk nonsense..."

Lu Pheasant nodded.

"The best is this. Our Lu family is not a small family without some rules. Your brother-in-law is not the little pavilion chief in Surabaya now. As long as you wait with peace of mind, you will naturally have a good marriage. Don’t be confused and do something wrong and be laughed at..."

"Sister—"

Lu Yu's face suddenly turned red.

But she also knew that her sister was actually taking this opportunity to beat herself up, so she could only pretend not to understand, but she was also secretly vigilant in her heart, preparing to go out less during these days and cut off ties with those outside.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the concierge walking quickly.

"Mrs. Qi, the censor of the cabinet, the young master is asking for an audience with Cao Cao..."

When Lu Pheasant heard this, he couldn't help but paused and turned around suddenly with a happy expression on his face.

"Cao Shen? So it turns out that Cao Yushi has arrived? Please come quickly -"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed his words.

"No, I'll go and greet you personally—"

With that said, he raised his feet and walked out. When he walked to Lu Yu's side, he subconsciously glanced at his sister's pretty face, and with a slight movement in his heart, he ordered.

"Censor Cao Shen is your brother-in-law's friend in his hometown. Please come with me to greet him..."

When Lu Yu heard this, she reluctantly pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice.

"Sister, Cao Shen is not polite at all. Why are you so polite? I think he and his brother-in-law were originally from the same hometown. When he met his brother-in-law's promotion to an official position, it would be fine if he didn't rush to the door to congratulate him. He was still showing off. I delayed it until the end, maybe I didn’t mean to disgrace my brother-in-law..."

When Lu Pheasant heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Although Cao Shen's behavior made Lu Fei feel a little uncomfortable, if his sister's words were spread, she might really offend others.

"You can't trust your words. Cao Shen is now the Censor of the Cabinet. He is a close minister of His Majesty. He is very noble. What's more, even your brother-in-law is today thanks to his guidance and recommendation. He is our old Liu family member. My benefactor, how can you be rude?"

When Lu Yu heard this, she couldn't help curling her lips, but she didn't dare to disobey her sister, so she followed Lu Fei obediently and came out.

From a distance, I saw Cao Shen and two elderly servants standing at the door carrying things. They hurriedly took two steps and stepped forward to salute.

"I didn't know that the Cao family brother is coming here, but I am a bit disappointed to welcome you from afar. I hope that my brother won't be offended..."

Seeing this, Cao bowed in return from a distance.

"I don't dare to call you brother, Madam. Brother Liu is older than me. You can just call me Cao Shen, or Uncle Jing..."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries at the door, then led Cao Shen to the living room in the front yard, where the guests and hosts sat down separately. He was about to ask his servants to lead Cao Shen's two old servants down to rest, but Cao Shen refused with a smile.

The two old servants, who had probably received instructions before they came, stood behind Cao Shen in a very polite manner, without squinting their eyes and standing with their hands down.

Lu Pheasant was slightly startled, then smiled and said to Lu Yu who was standing aside.

"Mei, why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and make tea for Brother Cao..."

Cao Shen didn't even dare.

Although Lu Yu had a more delicate temperament, she was not an idiot. Before Cao Shen could refuse, she stood up smartly, holding the teapot, and filled him with a cup of steaming tea very obediently.

Cao Shen could only bow his head and thank him profusely.

After putting down the tea cup, Cao Shen stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Pheasant.

"Brother Liu and I are old friends and fellow villagers, so we are not considered outsiders. Therefore, I would like to take the liberty to ask, has Madam ever personally visited His Highness the Emperor's Grandson's house to express her gratitude these days..."

When Lu Pheasant heard this, he was startled at first, and then broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and bowed down to Cao Shen Yingying. "Thank you for your advice today, brother, otherwise I would have made a big mistake..."

When Cao saw Lu Fei's reaction, he couldn't help but admire it secretly. The look on his face also looked much better, and he said with a smile.

"Madam, there is no need to be so nervous. Your Highness, the Emperor's eldest grandson, is a mellow man and has a tolerant temperament. He will not care about you, but we, as ministers, cannot really lose our etiquette..."

Speaking of this, Cao Shen hesitated for a moment, but decided to mention it a little more so that the two of them could really know what was going on.

"Without the support and acquiescence of His Highness the Emperor's Grandson, do you think that Brother Liu, who has no foundation in the court, would have had the opportunity to conquer the Western Regions and make achievements?"

Lu Pheasant nodded seriously.

"I understand that without the cultivation of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, our Liu family would definitely not be as glorious as it is today. I will come to my door in person tomorrow to express my gratitude -"

Seeing this, Cao couldn't help but secretly admire Liu Ji. He was really lucky. The woman he picked up was not only beautiful, but also had extraordinary vision and knowledge.

"So good..."

Having said this, Cao Shen smiled and stood up to say goodbye. Lu Pheasant politely persuaded Cao Shen to stay. How could Cao Shen be willing to stay? Now Liu Bang was not at home. Except for a dozen guards who were given by His Highness the Emperor Changsun to look after the house and the courtyard, there was not even a male in the house. He stayed by himself. What's the deal?

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he was not married yet, had no female dependents at home, and had not seen Lu Fei personally go to express his gratitude to His Highness the Emperor Changsun, he would not have been willing to visit this time.

Seeing that he couldn't keep him, Lu Pheasant took Lu Yu with him and sent Cao Shen out in person. He waited until Cao Shen's carriage and horses gradually disappeared, then he and Lu Yu returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, Lu Zhi had a serious look on his face.

"Mei, this Yushi Cao is a gentleman who can truly entrust you with important tasks. If you are looking for a husband in the future, you should use such a talented person as a reference..."

Lu Wei curled her lips, as if she wanted to refute subconsciously, but when she thought of Cao Shen's elegant demeanor, manners and conversation, as well as his rather good appearance, she subconsciously compared it with the heroic and handsome face of the emperor's eldest grandson in her memory. For a moment, but still didn't speak.

Seeing his little sister's expression, Lu Pheasant already knew a little bit about her little sister's thoughts, and reached out to take Lu Yu's little hand.

"I heard that this brother of the Cao family has not yet married. When your brother-in-law comes back, I will ask him to match you two. If it can happen, it will be a good story..."

"Sister—"

Lu Yu couldn't help but blush.

Lu Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to his little girl who was already thinking about it, and turned around and walked towards his warehouse.

"I'm going to pick out a few decent gifts. Early tomorrow morning, I'll go to His Highness the Emperor's grandson's house in person to express my gratitude. I can't lose my etiquette—"

Nowadays, although His Highness the Emperor's Grandson has not yet moved out of the Eldest Young Master's Mansion, I don't know since when, the Eldest Young Master's Mansion has gradually become the Emperor's Changson's Mansion among the people of Xianyang, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.

All of this is like the rain in early spring, acting imperceptibly and moisturizing things silently.

Unknowingly, the willows in Xianyang City that had dried up all winter have sprouted new green. Spring is coming. On the banks of the Weishui River, people are already climbing and folding willow branches with a little fresh green to say goodbye to their friends.

But spring is really here!

……

"I think the willows in Xianyang should have turned green..."

Shangjun.

Fusu subconsciously tightened his cotton coat tightly, looking at the old elm tree in front of him with mottled and hard bark and still no trace of green, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Wang Ben's eyes flashed as he looked at the eldest son, whose face was much thinner and weathered, but whose body bones were also much stronger.

"At this time of year, it should naturally be green. If we are in Xianyang, this time of year is a good time for spring outings and hunting - I remember it was about this time last year, too. Your Majesty organized a hunt, and it was His Highness the Emperor Changsun who suddenly emerged and conquered the bears. Taking the lead in one fell swoop..."

Speaking of this, Wang Ben couldn't help but have an inexplicable taste in his eyes.

"I remember that before that departure, the silly boy in our family was still ambitious and thought about performing well in front of His Majesty. Who knows, he was immediately impressed by His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson - the eldest grandson's bravery is truly invincible in the world. , I actually managed to catch an adult brown bear, and when I think about it, I still find it unbelievable..."

When the eldest son Fusu heard Wang Bi mention Zhao Ying's hunting feat last year, he came to his senses instantly and smiled.

"Speaking of which, it was only after that that I realized that this child had actually inherited the divine power of his ancestors. I also realized that this child had been secretly hiding his clumsiness..."

Having said this, he shook his head with some regret.

"Speaking of which, I didn't do a good job as Aweng. I didn't care about him too much..."

Otherwise, the eldest son of the majestic Qin eldest son, who is also the eldest grandson of His Majesty, would have no need to hide his clumsiness.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and even some other thoughts became much lighter.

"he……"

Fusu casually climbed and broke a thin elm branch, and then discovered that, unknowingly, the elm branches in Shangjun had slight protrusions, and there was already a little green under the seemingly pale bark.

"Speaking of his temperament, he is more like His Majesty than me..."

Fusu subconsciously folded the elm branches in his hands.

Wang Ben didn't seem to hear the feeling in his words, and smiled from the side.

"It's true. Your Highness, the Emperor's Grandson, is not only talented in literature and military, but he is also brave and diligent in his work. He is decisive in killing and has the style of your Majesty..."

Fusu nodded.

He didn't want to continue this topic.

Others may not be able to see clearly, but he can see clearly that his son is not only decisive in killing, but in his opinion, his methods are even crueler than his own.

Ever since he patrolled the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of his own Aweng, rivers of blood flowed wherever he passed.

Countless scholars were destroyed and their families destroyed!

This must all be the work of my son——

"After all..."

He shook his head, but after all, the rest of the words remained unspoken. Although he is kind-hearted and believes in Confucianism, after all, he is only mellow and not stupid.

On the contrary, not only was he not stupid, he also had an extremely keen political vision and quite clever political methods. Otherwise, he would not have been favored by the First Emperor for a time and had the following and allegiance of countless people. Even years after his death, he would still be Some people rebelled under his banner.

It's just a different way. (End of chapter)
