Chapter 868 The news that shocked Lu Jiuyuan
When Lu Jiuyuan and the others came back, Zhao Weixin received them and learned that the tea ceremony they promoted in Japan was loved by the Japanese people, and the tea they brought was sold at a very high price. The three of Lu Jiuyuan conferred idle positions in Honglu Temple, with the official rank of Cong Wupin.

Although Lu Jiuyuan and the others were awarded Jinshi at the beginning, they were just fellow Jinshi, and their ranking was very low. There was no high-ranking official in their family to back them up, so the official position they appointed was not very good, so they were still nine-rank officials.

All three of them are academics, they are not tactful in handling things, but they have personality. They each worked as subordinate officials for a while, some did not agree with their boss's ideas, and some were squeezed out by their colleagues. They were very unhappy as officials, so they simply resigned. The official resigned, and was employed by the Academy instead, so that he could concentrate on learning.

This is also the reason why they want to excel in learning.

Now, if you want to plant flowers and flowers, you can't do it, but if you don't want to plant willows and willows to make shade.Not only did they establish the School of Mind, they spread their school theories through the "Sheng Shi Min Bao", and they also became the founders of the tea ceremony. Because of this, they went to Japan and were conferred such high official positions when they came back.

Whether you have an official position or not, others will treat you differently.When a group of friends get together, you who have no official position will always be the last one to accompany you.

After being grateful to Zhao Wei, the three of them wanted to thank Du Jinning the most.

If it weren't for Du Jinning, they would still wipe out everyone, who would know who they are?

"Is there a person named An Shi who went out with you?" Zhao Wei asked.

"Yes." Lu Jiuyuan didn't know that there was an oolong here, and replied honestly, "He is a luthier with superb piano skills. With his help in arranging the tea ceremony, he can get twice the result with half the effort. So at that time, he expressed his desire to go to Japan, and to go down The official took him there. Because of a sudden intention, he was allowed to occupy my place as a servant."

Although Zhao Wei was suspicious of the various coincidences of the Japanese ships, Du Jinning had already returned and was concentrating on restoring high-yielding rice, so he had no intention of pursuing the matter any further.After asking a few words, Lu Jiuyuan and the others retreated.

"How is Lord Du Jinning doing now?" Seeing that the eunuch leading the way was quite friendly, Lu Jiuyuan asked casually.

It's been a year and a half since they left. With Du Jinning's promotion speed, they might have been promoted to another level.In this case, wouldn't their ranks be the same as Du Jinning's?
"Master Lu, you don't know this yet, do you? Master Du is actually a woman. She has been considered a righteous daughter by the empress dowager and named Princess Ningguo."

Lu Jiuyuan staggered and almost fell, but Shi Xiu and Peng Shicheng who were following behind him froze in place, unable to react at all.It was the eunuch who had sharp eyesight and quick hands and supported Lu Jiuyuan to prevent him from being thrown to the ground.

"You... what did you just say?" Lu Jiuyuan couldn't believe his ears.

The eunuch repeated what he said just now, and said with a smile: "When our family first heard about it, our reaction was similar to Master Lu's."

After a pause, when Lu Jiuyuan and the others digested the news just now, he said again: "Now the princess is married to Master Qi, and she lives in the Princess Mansion on Guxi Street, you can find it by taking a carriage ride there. "

"Master Qi? Qi Muyuan?" Peng Shicheng interrupted and asked.

"Yes, it is Mr. Qi Muyuan Qi."

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally believed that this matter might be true.

At this time, they had already reached the gate of the palace. The three of them thanked the leading eunuch and looked at each other: "Go to the princess mansion to find Du Jinning?"

They were summoned as soon as they got off the boat, worried that they would be disrespectful in front of the palace, and all three of them went home to wash up in a hurry before entering the palace, not having time to say goodbye to their families and leave.I haven't been home for a year and a half. I should have gone home to have a good reunion with my family. I planned to go to Du Jinning again tomorrow, but what the eunuch said now made their hearts scratched like cats. They couldn't calm down until they understood it. .

Among the three, Shi Xiu had the most delicate thoughts: "She is a girl now, and she has been named a princess, so let's come here rashly..."

The three of you looked at me and I looked at you. They were silent for a while before Lu Jiuyuan said, "Let's go home first. This is such a big matter that our family members know about it. Go back and ask your family first, and then discuss what to do."

Shi Xiu also praised: "The news of our return from Japan will spread soon. Du Jinning really wants to see us, so he will naturally send someone to our door or come to see us in person."

"Then the gift we brought her back from Japan..." Peng Shicheng asked.

Lu Jiuyuan thought for a while: "Send someone to give it to her, and convey our greetings to her."

Anyway, they benefited a lot from Du Jinning. At this time, because Du Jinning became a woman and a princess, they deliberately alienated her and pretended that they didn't know her. They couldn't do such a shameless thing.

After returning home, Lu Jiuyuan asked someone to deliver the gift to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning was still thinking about meeting Lu Jiuyuan and the others. Considering that they were exhausted from the journey, he stopped and planned to send greeting cards to the three of them in a few days.

She was naturally very happy to receive the gift at this moment, and replied a post, inviting Lu Jiuyuan and others to a gathering at the princess mansion in five days.

"What's so happy about it?" Qi Muyuan saw Du Jinning holding a small doll looking at it as soon as he entered the door. The little doll looked very strange, and it didn't look like Da Song's item at first glance.

"Mr. Lu and the others?" Before Du Jinning could answer, he asked again.

Du Jinning nodded: "Yes, Japanese benzene dolls."

Qi Muyuan changed his outer clothes, came over and put Du Jinning in his arms, reached out and took the doll over for a look, handed it back to Du Jinning, and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Not to mention." Du Jinning shook his head, "It's just that there is such a thing in the gift that Mr. Lu and the others sent, take it out and have a look." She said, and she put the doll in the gift box.

In addition to the two dolls, there are various gadgets in the wooden box, all of which are very Japanese.

Probably Lu Jiuyuan and the others felt that these things were different from Song Dynasty, so they bought them as gifts.The gift is not expensive, but it shows their intentions.

"I want to meet them and ask about Riben's situation. I'll come over for dinner five days after I posted the post. Are you free that day?" She turned her head and asked Qi Muyuan.

Qi Muyuan saw her eyes moving and her brows moving, and couldn't help lowering his head to kiss her cheek, and then said: "Maybe. If I have time, I will try to come back."

In Qi Muyuan's position, he does things completely irregularly.When things come up, you can be busy for several days and nights; if you have nothing to do, you can rest for many days.

In the past, the aristocratic family held many important positions, Zhao Wen wanted to fight for power with the aristocratic family, and Qi Muyuan was very busy; now that the aristocratic family is declining, and the rest of the aristocratic family are all tucking their tails, Qi Muyuan has a little leisure here, and is no longer as busy as before.

When Du Jinning asked this question, he didn't want a definite answer, but just wanted to tell him about it.

"Did you go to the fields today? Are you tired?" Qi Muyuan stretched out his powerful palms to pinch Du Jinning's legs.

But pinching and pinching, this guy became dishonest, and his palms began to move up.

"Aha, don't make trouble, just watch other people's jokes." Du Jinning smiled and avoided his hand.

"No one." Qi Muyuan said.

Now the couple have returned to their previous habits. No servants are allowed in the yard where they live, and they ring the bell when they have something to do.Although doing so would make people think too much, but Yao Shuqi was extremely strict with the servants in the mansion, and the servants were all servants Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan had used for a long time, so no one dared to chew their tongues.

　Sorry for the lateness, Ann~
