Lu Mansion.

It was already late at night, and there were more than a dozen candles in the book room and it still looked dark.

An old man who was so thin that he was half breathed was sitting on Hu Chuáng, looking at the dark house outside with tired eyes.

It was time to turn off the lights, and there were constantly stewards, who used people to walk through the edges between the houses in a small way, and whispered: "Close the door, turn off the lights, close the door and turn off the lights!"

When wealthy families enter the night, all yards must turn off the lights regularly. It’s not that they can’t afford the little money for the lamp, but mainly to prevent water from being removed.

As for the door sealing, it is anti-theft.

As the most prominent family in the country and the most powerful family in the dynasty, the left governor Lu Bing's mansion was so large that it exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

This house covers an area of ​​about 300 acres and has more than 40 courtyards of all sizes. They live in tribes of different relatives from far and near. In addition to slaves and employers, there are two or three hundred people living in the door of the mansion, which is already a small society.

It is said that this is just a residence in the city where Lu Bing's two sons went to court to handle official duties. Outside the city, there are more than a dozen manors of different sizes. Those manors have different functions, summer villas that cool down and cool down: mountain pastures that feed horses and animals: ordinary farms that plant fresh fruits and vegetables, and there are a lot of people, and together, there are thousands of people.

To support so many people, daily elimination is a sea of ​​gold and silver.

And all this is because of the old man who is as thin as a vine in the book "Secretary"... a commander of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei commander Left Governor, Prince Taibao, and Lu Bing.

As Emperor Jiajing's young playmate, he has made the contribution of protecting the emperor. He has been honored and favored throughout his life.

However, even if there is a thousand-year iron threshold, you will eventually have a bad head. Once the deadline arrives, no one can escape.

Lu Bing is no exception.

This year he is only in his early fifties, but the fire of life seems to have burned out.

From the afternoon, he was so depressed that he was on Huchuáng, and different people were talking, just staring out the window blankly, as if thinking about something.

"Master Father, Master Father, just eat some." Lu Wei, the second master of the Lu Mansion, worked in Taichang Temple, and his affairs were free. He stayed in the mansion for thirty days a month, but twenty days a day. Unlike Master Lu, who works as a thousand households in the Fushi Department of Nanzhen, he could not see anyone on weekdays.

It is precisely because of his leisure that Lu Wei is with his father all day long and takes good care of Lu Bing's diet.

As he spoke, Lu Wei scooped up a spoonful of green vegetables and fed it to his father's mouth.

But Lu Bing suddenly turned around and his eyes flashed with two green lights like substance: "Take it away!"

After all, he was the Jinyiwei who had been a Jinyiwei for decades, and his power was so powerful at this moment. Even as a son, Lu Wei still had a sudden blow in his heart, and his right hand trembled unknown.

"Father, you haven't used supper yet. You can't continue like this. At least you have to eat something. Otherwise, you will ruin your body, be a son, or be a son..." Lu Wei looked at his skinny father, and his nose suddenly became sore, and he suddenly forgot to be afraid.

Seeing his son's true love, Lu Bing's eyes softened: "Second, take down the white porridge. After eating white rice and vegetables for a month, everyone has eaten green. I think of me, Lu Bing, have been free and happy all my life. When I am old, I have to suffer such torture. Go and get a braised pork to enjoy 1. Add more spicy and huā peppers, which will make it more delicious."

Lu Wei was shocked and knelt on the ground and said wailingly: "My father, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital said, you can't stick to meat, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Hehe, can I take the prescription from the Imperial Hospital accurately? I know the best of those people. When I meet a patient, the first thing I think is what kind of medicine should be prescribed to prevent people from killing them, not how to cure the disease. A small Bupleurum on the left and a licorice on the right, just hold you back. Get up, kneel down, I haven't tear it yet. It's not too late to kneel when I close my eyes and kick it. Forget it, I won't eat braised pork anymore, so as not to say many useless words, and I'll be sanitized."

Hearing that the old father stopped talking about eating meat, Mr. Lu Er wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up, and fed Lu Bing a few porridge. He said, "Although the prescriptions from the Imperial Hospital are as unreliable as those of the Imperial College, you are familiar with the Imperial Doctor Wang Lantian and his father, so he would not fool him randomly. Doctor Wang said that his father had deficiency of qi and blood, but his internal fire was extremely strong. If ordinary people have deficiency of both qi and blood, they will get great replenishment. But father, you have to do the opposite and not get any meat. If you keep this for a few years, you may recover slowly."

"Recover, your own body is the best. Wang Lantian is comforting you, don't take it seriously. As early as this winter, the latest next year, I will go to Xianyou for my father. But I can see this clearly and think through it."

Lu Wei hurriedly changed the topic: "My father, the matter of enrollment for clans is already done. Today he recruited the tenth scholar, named Wu Mingjie. It is said that he is the son of Wu Jianye, the chariot and chariot department of Nanjing Ministry of War. He is from an official family, has a scholarly family, and is very talented.

"Wu Jianye, I have some impression of this person. I have been dead for four years." Lu Bing said: "Wu Jie seems to be from Wan Civilized. He has just arrived in the capital for a few days and has settled in Shuntian Prefecture."

Master Lu Er was shocked and admired him very much. Although the master was very ill and had not gone out for a long time, he knew all the big and small things outside.

He pulled a piece of paper from his arms and met with his hands: "This is Wu Jie's test question today. My son thought this article was written so well, so he copied it with him."

"Oh, even you think it's good, come and take a look." After taking the manuscript, Lu Bing only took a look, immediately straightened his body, his eyes lit up again, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and a smile appeared.

This old man who was so sick that he had only breathed a breath, was now full of energy and seemed to have recovered: "Once you climb the Dragon Gate, you will be worth ten times more... Therefore, all the people who are dragons and phoenixes will be honored by the kings and marquis. The kings and marquis are not arrogant because of their wealth or honor, but they will be frivolous in the three thousand, and the envoys will be able to escape. That is, the person who is not as good as the kings of Zhou, will make the heroic and handsome in the world and run back and return to him. This is how he compares me to the kings of Zhou!"

"The son thinks it's not a mischievous thing, but the father can afford it."

"Can you afford it? "The old man put down the manuscript and suddenly felt sad: "In the past few decades, the court has repeatedly jailed, and it was all promoted by my Jinyi's personal military yamen. The two yamen in the north and south have been offended by the civil servants. Others are not good at slandering the emperor, but they have just dropped a lot of hatred on my head. But I don't know that over the years, Lu tried his best to maintain the ritual situation and was out of control. How many people have been rescued under the si? ​​It's a pity that those who have received my help not only do not have gratitude, but fear me, and even slander me. As for those who have received my support and precious glory over the years, I don't know how many people have. But recently, I have not been able to get the holy family. The house is deserted and the carriages are sparse. Lu Bing doesn't expect them to be grateful, and just wants someone to say a reasonable word for me in the past years."

"Yes, father."

Lu Wei was about to step down, but Lu Bing called him again: "What is this person named Wu Jie, please pay attention to it, after all, he is a person from Wan Civilization."

"Wan Wenming, he became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Yaya. Didn't you report it to me?"

"I recommended it, but it was actually the emperor's idea. Do you know why Your Majesty chose him?"

"My son doesn't understand."

"He is just an irrelevant person, he has nothing to do with the forces in the court, and can be accepted by everyone. It's just an excessive thing." Lu Bing glanced at the deep night: "Your Majesty's body is not good either. We are all old... In the future, the new king ascended the throne and has his own team, the mission of Wan Civilization will be completed."

The next day, it was the day when the Lu family started classes. Wu Jie got up early, and after breakfast, he slowly walked to Lu's mansion.

Butler Cheng was already waiting there, so he led Wu Jie to walk a long way around the Lu Mansion and came to an amazingly large house. Only then did he reach the place.

It turned out that the Lu family school was not in the Lu Mansion, and it was separated by an alley from each other.

Because this place is home to the court officials and officials, there are no idle people, and it is very quiet.

After entering the yard, there were many students, both young and young. The older one was sixteen or seventeen years old, and the younger one was still a child with a draped bun. There were 20 or 30 people in total, and many of them were wearing scholar-in-law Lan shirts. They were probably newly appointed Jiu Astronomy, and the backyard was the residence of the husband and servants, as well as a kitchen.

It turned out that the academy also booked a lunch.

Of course, the two young masters of the Lu family would go back to their yard to eat.

It was still early and the school had not started yet. The students stood in groups of three or three in the yard and talked or read.

In the crowd, Wu Jie saw Lin Tingchen and couldn't help but smile at him.

Lin Tingchen changed his face, and hummed in his nose, and turned his head aside arrogantly.

This guy seemed to have a lot of prestige among scholars. With his cold snorting, the scholars around him also looked over with hostility.

Wu Jie was naturally not afraid, and just raised the corners of his mouth and ignored him again.

At the same time, there was a little fat man who was surrounded by a large group of children without fame, like stars supporting the moon, and there was a momentum of the leader of the vibrant non-governmental organizations in the future. Judging from his appearance, he had a lot of identity in the Lu family...
