Chapter 712

"Haha, my nephew will definitely stay here for a few more days, so that my uncle can fully enjoy the friendship of a landlord."

"Then it will bother Lord Hou."

"Hey! What is your name, Lord Hou? You and Meng Ming are classmates and brothers, so why are you so born?"

"Yes, uncle."

All of a sudden, the host and guests in the front hall enjoyed themselves.

In Lu Li's memory, he relied on his prominent family background to successfully join the Confucian sect.

But the truth is incomparably absurd!

Mr. Tiantai either went out to give lectures and study tours, or stayed in the academy to teach and educate people. He didn't associate with the nobles of Jinling in the city at all, and the reason why he was able to enter the holy place in the hearts of Jiangnan scholars——

Chongzheng Academy.

It was entirely because of fate, that's right, Mr. Tiantai, who had never been in Jinling City all the year round, suddenly had a whim, went into the city in a carriage, and came to the Hou's mansion, saying that he wanted to talk to Henan Hou.

After that, there was a scene in my memory where my father took me up to Qingliang Mountain to deliver Shuxiu to Mr. Tiantai.

In other words.

Lu Li thought he was a related family, but in fact, it was the teacher who took the initiative to visit him and wanted to accept him as a student.

"What's going on?" Lu Li thought in his heart, the reason why he became a fragrant bun.

Luck?

Or other reasons?

You can't think of the answer for a while, and you don't feel anxious. This is the benefit of changing your mentality.

"Whatever it is, it's impossible to expose the identity of the time traveler anyway." Lu Li shook his head, lifted the lid of the tea and took a sip, thinking, "Things more mysterious than this have happened before, it's nothing."

Back then, when I was in Chang'an, the Nestorian monk said that he had a predestined relationship with them, and so did the Aojiao, and invited him to watch the fire worship ceremony.

Later, when I went to Qianfu Temple to investigate the case, the abbot also sent an invitation.

It's almost a Taoist...

Unexpectedly, after entering this world, before I entered the Tao, I directly made a name with Confucianism and became a disciple of Confucianism.

For a moment, Lu Li was proud.

The junior brother sitting next to him didn't know why, but seeing the smile on his face, he also nodded with a smile.

And all this fell into Lu Xu's eyes, he lowered his head reservedly, and took a sip of tea to hide his pride.

When he was in court earlier, his colleagues still made fun of him. Now, seeing that the famous Confucian scholar Tiantai is like his own unicorn, he specially sent out his disciples to persuade Lu Li to return to the academy to study.

Is this how ordinary disciples can enjoy such treatment?

Forefathers and ancestors, my Lu family is finally going to produce a great Confucian in the world!

Thinking of this, Lu Xu, who was sitting in the first place, couldn't help laughing out loud. Back then, their Lu family was almost ransacked and wiped out because of their involvement in the Hu Weiyong case. Fortunately, Chengzu and the later emperors were generous enough to replace the honorable Hu Weiyong. Gui overturned the case.

Otherwise, how can there be the current wealth?

In order to keep a low profile, the lineage of Henan Marquis has been guarding Jinling for generations, and absolutely does not participate in the affairs of Yandu. In addition, even the Marquis Mansion will not be expanded, so as not to be criticized by the censor, saying that it is overstepping—

This is also the reason why Lu Li felt that his mansion was not imposing when he entered the house. He saw many mansions and courtyards on the road, but the owners were only earls or even merchants.

When Lu Xu came back to her senses, she was embarrassed to find that two eyes were staring at her.

He coughed dryly and didn't explain. Instead, he looked at Lu Li and encouraged him, "I'm going to the academy in a few days, so I need to concentrate on my studies."

In the end, Lu Xu held back and didn't mention the matter of obtaining fame. He didn't want to put too much pressure on his son. It would be best if he could restore the glory of his ancestors and the Forbidden City. It is also a good thing to pass down the incense.

"yes."

Lu Li put down his teacup and said with a serious expression.

"Of course, you must also take care of your own body. Our family is a general...get on your horse and beat Hu wildly, and get off your horse to draft an army letter..."

After rambling on for a few words, Lu Xu stopped talking. After all, the two of them will stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and they have plenty of time to teach.

"You two go wander around in the mansion, I have to go back to the Yamen for business."

After speaking, he asked the housekeeper to prepare the horse.

Before leaving, he warned again: "Recently, don't hang out in the streets at night, the world is not peaceful."

Business?

Jinling City is a place for the elderly. Officials at all levels like fishing. If there is anyone who doesn't like it, after so many years, they have also experienced the joy of working without paperwork. Naturally, they were assimilated and fell in love with fishing.

As far as he could remember, Lu Li had never seen his father busy. At most, Yan would come down with an order, or he would be a little busy when there was a major sacrificial event, but that kind of scene was rarely seen once in a few years.

in addition……

The world is not peaceful? !

Jing: Taiping.

Bujing: not peaceful.

As soon as he thought of his father's job, Lu Li immediately became excited, and several words popped up in his mind: demons, demons and ghosts!

In the orthodox history, the Wucheng Bingmasi was the yamen responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire bans.

Of course, it also includes night watchmen, whose status is similar to that of the Jinwu Guards in the Tang Dynasty.

at the same time.

In order to make Lu Li feel more at ease, Lu Xu directly stated, "It is said that there is a problem with Jinling's dragon aura and humane aura, and there are evil spirits committing crimes."

"From now on, stay in the mansion honestly, don't run around, the family is protected by the luck of the ancestors, and guarded by the guards, no matter what, it will be safe and sound."

However, Lu Xu never imagined that the more detailed he explained, the more excited his son would be.

"..." The younger brother hesitated to speak.

Especially when he noticed the smile on his senior brother's face, the ominous premonition became stronger. He hadn't forgotten that Lu Li had an unimaginable interest in strange stories, and he was very courageous.

"Father, what is the specific case? I also want to do my part."

However, Lu Li did not sneakily participate in the investigation, and said brightly: "A homicide occurred in the city, and you, the admiral of the five cities, must be the first to be among them..."

"Go, go, it's nothing to do with you." Lu Xu's face darkened, and he said seriously: "Stay in the mansion for a few days, and then go to Qingliang Mountain outside the city to find Mr. Tiantai."

Saying that, he left without looking back.

Just as Lu Li said, if such incidents happen in Yandu, the soldiers and horses of the five cities don't need to worry about it. After all, there are too many departments competing with them for power, and each of them has a backstage——

Xuncheng Yushi, Xunzhuying, East and West Second Factory, and Jinyiwei.

Even if it is the blame, it is not the turn of Wucheng soldiers and horses.

The only exception is Jinling, the accompanying capital.

A group of officials live here for the elderly, there is not so much intrigue, and there is a lot of sympathy among the nobles. At the beginning, the errand for Henan Hou Lu's family was to admiral Wucheng soldiers and horses, so no one would intervene to break this rule.

I thought it was a good thing, but once something unexpected happened, the good job would not be good. Although I don't have to worry about being deprived of the title, I will inevitably be impeached by the censor who is far away in Yandu.

Sighing, Lao Lu left the Hou Mansion.

And Xiao Lu looked at the back of his father's disappearance, showing a thoughtful expression. On the side, the junior brother saw that the senior brother was interested in this matter, and instantly panicked.
