The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Yuchi Gong revealed Cheng Yaojin's thoughts, and Cheng Yaojin stopped pretending and smiled.

"Isn't it that if there is good wine, you have to find a suitable brother to drink with? You see, I thought of you at the first time." Cheng Yaojin said, "Otherwise, this wine is boring."

"What you said is quite pleasant to hear." Yuchi Gong also took the opportunity to say, "Okay, let's stay here today, eat and drink, and have a good time!"

"That's right, Yuchi Laohei, you are serious now."

Yuchi Gong told the housekeeper to let the kitchen prepare wine and food.

"Don't hide the two jars of good wine you collected, take them out." Cheng Yaojin urged.

"I knew you were holding back, old man, and you came here for this thing. It's really hard for you to bring this jar of wine." Yuchi Gong joked, "You are so generous, you only brought one jar."

"Then one jar." Cheng Yaojin was playing tricks.

"You, the King of Jingyang gave you wine, so he gave you one jar? You only use your brain to deal with me." Yuchi Gong said helplessly, "Okay, one jar of wine, two jars of wine are enough."

"What do you mean by two jars?" Cheng Yaojin pretended to be stupid.

"If they give you one jar, can they give me more?" Yuchi Gong asked back.

Cheng Yaojin was speechless when he asked this question.

"Drink it, who can drink more than you? With this wine, it's good enough for the two of us to finish one jar each." Yuchi Gong said.

Although he also likes to drink, he has a clear understanding of his own weight. He can brag, but he can't be ignorant.

Of course, in front of others, he is still very stubborn about drinking.

The two of them made an appointment to drink in the middle of the day, while Li Fu took a carriage to Lu Deming's house.

When he arrived at the door, he handed over the visiting card, and soon the door of Lu's house opened.

Lu Deming's son Lu Dunxin took Lu Qingye out to greet him.

"Your subordinate greets Li Shaofu."

"Lu Youshi." Li Fu also bowed his hands and saluted.

Lu Dunxin entered the officialdom with the help of his family background, and his official position was Youshiji, also known as You Sanqi Changshi.

"Li Shaofu, this is my son Lu Qingye."

"Qingye greets Li Shaofu." Lu Qingye saluted quickly.

"No need to be polite, Lu Youshi, I'm here to visit your father today. I came suddenly, and your father..."

"Oh, Master Li, my father is in the backyard, please follow me." Lu Dunxin invited Li Fu to go home.

"Okay, by the way, the New Year is coming soon, I brought some New Year gifts, let the humble people take them, and there are also two jars of good wine, keep them well." Li Fu urged.

"Yes, thank you Master Li." Lu Dunxin thanked him, and then told the housekeeper to let the servants deliver the things to the mansion and properly accommodate the people who came with King Jingyang.

Li Fu followed Lu Dunxin and Lu Qingye to the backyard, and saw the current situation in the Lu family's backyard.

"Master Li, the courtyard where my father originally lived was the largest courtyard in the whole house. Behind the courtyard was the back garden of the family. Later, my father cultivated all the open space in the courtyard, including the wreath at the back, and now he is planting crops in the fields.

Speaking of farming, the family has land outside the city. If we talk about the harvest, we won't get much from this piece of land at home. In addition, my father is old, and I really don't want him to be so tired at home.

I would like to ask Master Li to help me persuade my father."

"How is your father's health recently? Is he still strong?" Li Fu asked.

"My father's health has improved a lot, his complexion has become rosy, and his health is better than before. The family invited a doctor before, and he said that my father is in good health after he came." Lu Dunxin said.

"What about before? What did the doctor say when he took my father's pulse?" Li Fu asked.

When the old man went to his farm before, his age and physical condition were just average.

"My father's health was pretty good before." Lu Dunxin said.

"That means that Dr. Lu has been busy at home, and he has made himself healthier. That's a good thing." Li Fu smiled and said, "Don't you think so? An old man in the family is like a treasure. Dr. Lu is not young anymore. Now he is healthy, with sufficient blood and rosy complexion. It is also a blessing for the Lu family.

People, when they live to this age, want to do something. Just follow his wishes. Sometimes you think you are good for the elderly, but the elderly don't think so. You think you have made Dr. Lu feel relieved, but he may not be happy. So, you should think more positively."

Li Fu said a few words to Lu Dunxin.

The Lu family is not short of money., there is no shortage of people to serve, and there is no conflict between the old and the young in the homes of ordinary people.

Lu Deming can do whatever he wants.

You can't say that you want to fulfill Lu Dunxin's reputation of filial piety and make Old Lu unhappy.

Old Lu is happy to farm at home, he is happy.

Even if he is tired, does he need Lu Dunxin to serve him? There are a lot of maids, servants and servants at home.

The Lu family is not without money.

Not to mention, Lu Deming is at this age, he is healthy and happy, then he is a living signboard of the Lu family!

"Yes, what Master Li said makes sense." Lu Dunxin listened and figured it out. His father, who was farming at home, was getting better and better.

But it's not a good idea to keep going like this. My father is the prince's teacher. He has been late for teaching the prince several times. He farms at home and often sits in a daze in the yard, thinking about something, or sits in the study all day, reading books, and organizing manuscripts.

Now outside, even in Chang'an City, some people who were originally friends with the Lu family are trying to find out about the family and guess what my father is doing at home.

Many people also know that my father is farming at home. If this matter spreads, what will happen to the reputation of the Lu family?

"It's just that there are many rumors about my father in Chang'an City now. Although the rumors are not true, for the Lu family... Alas..." Lu Dunxin sighed.

"Has it affected the Lu family?" Li Fu asked with a smile.

Lu Dunxin shook his head.

Not yet.

But...

Lu Dunxin always felt that it was inappropriate.

"That's it, isn't it? You have to believe Dr. Lu, he has a plan in mind. He has lived to such an old age, how could he not have seen a lot? How could he not know clearly? So, don't worry." Li Fu said.

The old man looked like he was insane, but in fact, once he really figured it out, this old man would be amazing.
