Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 39
The post envoy who rushed from Beijing to Suzhou to deliver the letter hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and his whole heart was tied to the waistband of his trousers.

how so?

It wasn't the man who came to their station to deliver the letter that day, and the man in his hand was the official uniform of a military general above the sixth rank. Every commoner who saw it had to politely call him "Jun Ye".

Naturally, he didn't dare to delay the matter of the military master, so he stepped up his horse's belly and galloped all the way.

"Huh, huh~" A skinny little postman got off the saddle, panting heavily while pulling the reins.

"It's almost here, which house's lintel is so high?" The Xiaoyi envoy propped his legs on his hands, bent over, and saw that the threshold outside the gate of the mansion in front of him was completely covered by his calf, and he was curious in his heart, and murmured Soliloquy.

He raised his neck, stretched out his fingers and said word by word: "Duke Lu's Mansion!"

On the tablet made of purple nanmu, there are four rubbings of gold-plated characters printed on it. Isn't it the Duke of Lu's mansion?
The little postman read it back and forth more than a dozen times, and after confirming that his eyesight was not blurred, he boldly stepped forward to knock on the door.

I just made a knock on the door, and before I hit it, someone pushed the door and came out.

Alu pushed the door and went out to find the golden thread weaving flowers that fell on the ground for the young lady, but he didn't expect to see the postman at the door just about to knock on the door: "I just saw that my brother is about to knock on the door of our government's mansion, what's the matter?" thing?"

"Ah, ah. The villain is also...delivering a letter for a military master in Beijing." The little post envoy wiped his rough cloth with embarrassing hands, then took out a letter, and handed it to A Lu with both hands. .

A Lu smiled warmly, took the letter and glanced at the sender's name, his eyes were straightened, and he was speechless for a while.

But after a while, Alu took out the broken silver from his cuff with trembling hands and put it in the palm of the little postman, bowed his body to salute slightly, and said goodbye.

As soon as the red lacquered wooden door of Lu Guogong's mansion was closed, A Lu didn't care about the usual etiquette. The corners of his mouth seemed to be grinning to his ears, and the letter in his hand was raised high. I've received a letter~"

Luo Ning heard the sound and came out to look for it: "A Lu, have you ever found Miss's golden step?"

A Lu hurriedly stopped, and smiled at Luo Ningbao: "Oh, look at my memory. I took the letter sent back by the second son, and forgot about this thing."

Luo Ning pouted, and poked him on the head: "The shopkeeper Baili just delivered it. I was sad for a long time when I couldn't find Miss." After speaking, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up: "What did you say? Second Young Master sent a letter?"

Not caring about getting into trouble with him, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly went to inform her young lady.

Seeing the dust kicked up from Luo Ning's skirt, A Lu stood still, hesitating for a long time, and finally stomped his feet and patted his thigh: "It's wrong, it's wrong. Miss is in Zhongyi Hall!"

Who can hear what he said?
One morning, this happy event came one after another to "knock" on Lu Guogong's door, whoever put it on him would not panic?

In the Hall of Loyalty and Justice, everyone in Lu Guogong's family was overjoyed, even Lu Zhiting, who was usually quiet and quiet, dragged Tong Yun to explain some important matters about entering Beijing.

As small as what to put on the carriage that needs to be used, as large as the arrangement of the servants in the mansion, it is even more trivial and troublesome than memorizing "Ancient Precepts of Saints".

"Brother, don't worry, you still have some time to prepare, right?" Lu Zhichen saw his brother's embarrassed look, smiled and got up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Grandpa, the second young master has sent you a letter." Alu dragged his robe and strode up the steps.

He didn't stop for a meeting this morning, but fortunately, the people who greeted him at the door were all good things.

"Who wrote?"

Lu Jinyan stood up from the chair suddenly, and asked Alu again with his ear turned sideways.

"Second Brother's letter? Let me read it first!" Before A Lu could reply, Lu Zhichen became a rogue monkey, hopping and pulling the letter out of A Lu's hand, tearing it open and studying.

Lu Ziyu knew that his second brother's temperament of reporting good news but not worrying, he didn't care too much, he just said to the third brother in a coquettish voice: "Be careful, don't spoil it."

Lu Zhichen fiddled with the letter with his head down, and waved at her: "I know, I know."

A piece of thin paper with only two lines of small print.

After a few cursory glances, I grasped the key points explained in the letter.

Lu Zhichen raised his head in astonishment, and glanced at the anxious people in the room: "Second brother is an official?"

"Ah, to be an official? What official?" Shen Lan squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and asked anxiously.

Lu Zhichen raised his letter, but couldn't explain for a while.

"Let me take a look." Lu Ziyu stepped forward lightly with curly hair, and relieved him.

Su Zhang spread out, asking people to believe.

After looking at it carefully, Lu Ziyu smiled: "Is he an official, or a fifth-rank General Zhaowu?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the monkey next to him.

Lu Jinyan lowered his head and said nothing, pursed his lips and patted the armrest of the chair vigorously.

On the contrary, Shen Lan sobbed softly: "My Mu'er, this is a military achievement after suffering so much!"

She felt distressed about the flesh that fell from her body.

Lu Jinyan gently held his beloved wife in his arms and patted the back. He couldn't help sighing when he thought of the bad things he said when his son left home.

"Look, our Mu'er is so promising. Back then you didn't let him join the army." Shen Lan pushed and pushed him, crying and blaming him.

"Yes, it's all about Madam's good life." Lu Jinyan said with relief in his eyes, without arguing.

Lu Zhichen stepped forward and muttered: "Mom, even if you miss your second brother now, you have to stop the tears. Otherwise, if the Su Causeway is flooded, His Majesty won't let us go to Beijing, but let us control the water here."

Lu Ziyu covered his red lips and smiled, because his third brother was always good at coaxing people.

Sure enough, Shen Lan smiled through tears, patted Lu Zhichen on the head, and spat: "You are the only one in our family who is not in shape yet, go and stay with me."

"Oh!" Lu Zhichen smiled and avoided his mother's slap, and then hurriedly winked at his little sister.

With a light cough, Lu Ziyu raised his eyebrows, and said to the servants with a coquettish smile, "Double happiness is coming to our house today, everyone first go to the housekeeper to get some rewards."

"Thank you, Miss Si." Everyone kowtowed and hurriedly left the Loyalty Hall.

In the entire Loyalty Hall, only their family of five remained.

With caution in his eyes, Lu Ziyu dismissed all the servants and analyzed the pros and cons of returning to the capital: "Father, although the sage has called our family to return to the capital, the power of this aristocratic family in Beijing is intertwined. If we If you rush into Beijing without making preparations early, you may be targeted everywhere."

"Little sister's words are true. My father has been away from Beijing for many years. This capital is naturally different from the past, but the soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, and we must not let them underestimate our Duke Lu's mansion!" Lu Zhiting sat on the chair and held up the tea bowl at hand, wrinkled He opened his mouth with a stiff eyebrow.

His Duke Lu's mansion does not cause trouble, but he is not afraid of trouble.

It would be a mistake if those aristocratic families still imagined that Duke Lu's mansion was an object at the mercy of others.

The debts that were once owed must be recovered with interest.

　I'm going back to Beijing, and it's the calm before the storm~

　　The aristocratic family in Beijing is enjoying their present life, and the brothers of the Lu family will take back the place for their father in a short time!
