Chapter 375: Young Master Lu Returns to the Mansion

With a "bang", the scabbard samurai sword slashed down at the head, and an idle man fell in response.

Lu Li kept holding his hand, swung the scabbard samurai sword, and slashed all the way. In the blink of an eye, half a dozen idlers were smashed over.

"You... who are you?"

The idle man at the head was shocked by Lu Li's ferocity, and said repeatedly, "We belong to the Wang family. If you dare to meddle in your own business, you are doing the right thing with the Wang family. You must think clearly about the consequences!"

Wang family? What a shit!

Lu Li sneered, picked up the scabbard samurai sword, and charged up again.

A few knives smashed the remaining idlers, and Lu Li jumped up and rushed to the front of the idler leader in a few steps, kicking him!

With a "bang", the leader of the idle man was kicked upside down by Lu Li and smashed to the ground.

"roll!"

Lu Li's face was cold, and he shouted at the group of idlers.

The idle men hurriedly got up, ignoring the severe pain on their bodies, supporting each other, limping and fleeing.

"Boy, some kind of sign up!"

The idle man leader shouted while running.

"I'm your grandpa!"

Lu Li reached out and pulled out the samurai sword, and threw it at the leader of the idle Han.

The light of the knife pierced through the air and slammed into the front of the leader of the idle man with a puff. The leader of the idle man made a strange cry, used both hands and feet, and stumbled and fled in embarrassment.

Lu Li snorted, turned around and walked over, pulled out the long knife from the ground, and retracted the scabbard.

"This... strong..."

The old housekeeper greeted him, but he didn't know what to call Lu Li. You say a strong man? He was also wearing a scholar's green robe. Say you're a scholar? Who has seen such a good scholar?

"Grandpa Sheng."

At this time, Li Wan came up with Nan Nan and said hello to the old housekeeper.

"Miss Chou is here?"

The old housekeeper hurriedly saluted Li Wan and Nan Nan, "Just come here. There are pirates outside, and the old lady was still talking about you last night!"

Having said that, the old butler looked at Lu Li again and asked Li Wan, "Miss Biao, this son is..."

"Uncle Sheng, you don't know your cousin anymore?"

Li Wan said quickly, "This is my cousin Lu Li, my uncle's son. I went to sea with my uncle ten years ago, and only came back yesterday."

In fact, Li Wan's real cousin is called Lu Li, and the fence of the fence is very similar to the name Lu Li.

This is also the reason why Li Wan's expression was a little wrong when she heard the name Lu Li in the mountain.

"what?"

The old butler was shocked, and quickly turned to look at Lu Li, "It turned out that the young master has returned? We haven't seen you for ten years, the young master... I almost can't recognize it. The eyebrows are indeed very similar to the eldest son!"

"Yes! I'm... back!"

Lu Xin sighed secretly, the identity of this Lu family's disciple can also be recognized.

To do things in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to do things without a proper identity.

Besides...the current Lu family might have a relationship with Lu Li five hundred years later.

"Quick! Go and inform the old lady, the young master is back! Young master Li is back!"

The old butler was full of excitement, and hurriedly shouted at the servants at the door, and then said to Lu Li, "Young master, just come back! Just come back! Quickly, come in with the old servant!"

Having said that, the old housekeeper hurriedly led the way, and led Lu Li into the Lu family mansion.

Passing through the front yard, only to the atrium, a group of people poured out in front.

An old woman with white hair, followed by a woman in her thirties, and a girl of fifteen or sixteen, surrounded by a group of wives and maids, hurried out.

"Where is my grandson? Where is my grandson?"

The old woman with a sick look on her face shouted anxiously as she walked.

"It's here! It's here!"

The old butler quickly replied, "Old lady, the young master is here!"

Lu Li raised his eyes and looked over. He saw this white-haired grandmother, her cloudy eyes flashing with tears, and her old face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

This scene reminded Lu Li of his grandmother who had been dead for many years.

Back then, when Lu Li returned to his hometown in the countryside to see his grandmother, his grandmother had the same expression...

Involuntarily, Lu Li's eyes turned slightly red.

"Grandma, grandson... back!"

Lu Li stepped forward, knelt upright in front of the old woman, and bowed deeply.

"Just come back! Just come back! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

The old lady's voice choked up, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Beside him, the woman in her thirties and the girl of fifteen or sixteen were also sobbing.

During this time, only a few women were left to support the Lu family, and it was already unsustainable.

Now, the eldest grandson of the Lu family has returned. The Lu family finally has a pillar to support the family business!

"Brother Li, you're finally back! Your second uncle... was framed and imprisoned, and the family can't support it anymore!"

This woman in her thirties is naturally the "Second Aunt". The fifteen or six-year-old girl next to her should be her "cousin", right?

"Don't worry, Auntie!"

Lu Li bowed to the "Second Aunt" again, "Since I'm back, the Second Uncle's matter will definitely be resolved."

"Good! Good! It's all up to Brother Li!"

Auntie nodded while wiping away her tears.

"Weier has seen Big Brother!"

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl next to her hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lu Li.

This girl's name is Lu Wei, the daughter of the second uncle.

Naturally, Lu Li had already understood this information clearly from Li Wan.

After everyone met, they inevitably asked the whereabouts of the boss of the Lu family.

Lu Li could only fabricate a shipwreck accident and send Li Wan's eldest uncle, the eldest son of the Lu family, to be with the Dragon King.

Going to sea in this era, there is no news for more than ten years, and it must have been fed to fish. Whether it is Japanese pirates or other pirates, when they encounter ships sailing at sea, they kill all the people, and rob the ship and the goods together. This is the basic operation.

The answer given by Lu Li was not unexpected, and everyone cried again, so they could only accept their fate.

Next, Lu Li officially worshipped his ancestors by offering incense in the ancestral hall as the grandson of Lu's family.

When he was worshipping his ancestors in the ancestral hall, Lu Li saw the portraits hanging in the ancestral hall, and actually realized that he was somewhat similar to the people on these portraits.

From the genetic analysis, perhaps... this Songjiang Mansion Lu family is really my ancestor five hundred years ago!

The reason why Li Wan said I was her first cousin was probably not for no reason, not just by finding someone to pretend to be.

They are similar in age and have some similarities in appearance. It is very likely... Li Wan really suspects that "Lu Li" is "Lu Li".

Anyway, that's a good thing.

At least, Lu Li's identity has been completely confirmed, and he is no longer a "heterogeneous" with no foundation and unknown origin.

...

After settling down in the Lu family compound, Lu Li took a shower and changed into a robe, looking like a rich boy.

At noon, Lu Li accompanied the old lady, aunt, cousin, and two cousins, Li Wan and Nannan, to have lunch together.

All the family members are women, and only one man is left. Huating Lu family members are not prosperous, yin is prosperous and yang is declining! No wonder he was bullied badly.

Lu Li also saw the old lady's illness.

Lu Li could see at a glance that the old lady was just too anxious, and it was purely a psychological problem.

Now that Lu Li, the mainstay, is back, the old lady will naturally be fine.

After eating with the family, Lu Li returned to the yard and called the old housekeeper Lu Sheng over.

"Uncle Sheng, I just came back, and many things are still unclear. Please tell me the cause and effect of the second uncle's imprisonment."

Sitting in the hall in the courtyard, Lu Li asked the old housekeeper why.

"Master, this is how it is."

The old housekeeper hurriedly reported to Lu Li: "In the twelfth lunar month of last year, the second son and his classmates went to Yunyan Pavilion for a banquet. That night, the second son stayed at Yunyan Pavilion. The next day... The little lady of Yunyan Pavilion died. Huating County Government was arrested and thrown into prison."

"This matter has something to do with the Wang family?"

Hearing this, Lu Li immediately thought of being framed.

The little lady of Yunyan Pavilion is naturally a prostitute worker. This cheap second uncle, no matter how powerful, can't kill a prostitute worker who has been on the battlefield and endured countless artillery fire.

"We didn't think about this in the first place. Later, the Wang family wanted to seize the land of the Lu family and deliberately released words. Only then did we know that the second son's imprisonment was framed by the Wang family."

The old butler quickly explained to Lu Li.

"Is that so?"

Lu Li frowned slightly, "How much land does the Lu family have?"

"Three thousand acres."

This number... not too small, but not too much.

For the 3,000 mu of land, as the in-laws of old Xu Ge, why did the Wang family disregard the appearance of food and start with the Lu family, who was also a squire's family?

There must be greater benefits here!

But...the fields in Yunjian Township, Huating County, have neither gold and silver minerals nor valuable cash crops, so where are the benefits?

There is still too little information to come up with a clue.

Lu Li nodded to the old housekeeper, "I see! I'll visit the Huating magistrate later and ask for news!"

"Master, do you want to prepare a present?"

The old butler deserves to be someone who is used to being a butler and thinks very carefully.

"I'll prepare the gift myself, you don't have to worry about it."

Lu Li sent the old housekeeper out, turned around and went to the study.

When dealing with civil servants as a scholar, it is better to be "gentle", and it is not acceptable to plug money directly.

The Lu family is a scholarly family, and there are natural brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in the study.

Lu Li spread out a roll of rice paper, pressed the paper to grind ink, and drew on the rice paper with a pen.

In a moment, a pair of ink bamboos appeared on the paper!

In the blank space, Lu Li mentioned another line of poetry: "Yazhai is lying down and listening to Xiao Xiaozhu, it is suspected that it is the voice of civil distress; some small county officials in Caozhou, each branch is always concerned about the situation."

This is touting Yuan Zhixian.

With Lu Li's master-level painting skills and master-level calligraphy, this painting and this line of poetry are naturally a rare treasure.

It's just... this Zheng Banqiao's poem, put on Yuan Zhixian's body, really humiliates this poem.

Lu Li pouted, changed a fine-blade brush, and signed his name below.

Habitually preparing to seal, Lu Li just remembered that there is no time to engrave the seal in this plot!

Fortunately it's not difficult.

The maid asked the old butler to ask for a piece of sapphire jade, and Lu Li took out the short knife that the Japanese pirates had snatched from it, and began to cut it.

Sapphire is nephrite. The quality of this short knife is not bad. Although it is not a special jade carving knife, it can still be used.

Soon, Lu Li carved out a seal with the words "Huating Lu Li".

Huating means Huating County.

Pick up the seal, smear it with cinnabar ink pad, put a seal on this scroll, and a pair of works is completed.

Lu Li used the scroll to mount the painting again. After drying, he put away the scroll and got up to go out.

Just as he walked to the entrance of the Lu family compound, Lu Li saw a carriage parked at the entrance.

"Master, I have the car ready."

The old housekeeper came up to greet him and bowed his hands to Lu Li.

"Thank you Sheng Bo."

Lu Li secretly sighed in admiration, the old butler was really thoughtful, even the carriage was ready.

Sitting on the horse, a young servant drove the carriage all the way to Huating County.

And then... Lu Li almost broke his waist.

In the era of no shock absorbers, sitting is all the way to "car shock"!

Fortunately, it didn't take long, less than half an hour, the carriage entered the city.

The road conditions in the city are much better, and the bluestone pavement is fairly smooth and less bumpy.

After a while, the carriage stopped at the county office.

Lu Li rubbed his waist and got out of the car. He walked to the gate of the county government office. He took out a piece of silver and handed it to the guard at the gate.

This "student" represents identity. Those who dare to call themselves students are scholars.

The guard at the gate received the money, so naturally he wouldn't be embarrassed, he said "wait a moment" to Lu Li, turned around and went back to report.

Later, when Yuan Zhixian heard the officer's report that "Lu Li asked to see him", he immediately knew that this was a friend who "shared the spoils together".

"Please come in!"

Reaching out to take the famous post, Yuan Zhixian waved his hand and sent the trooper down.

It's enough to have the name Lu Li, and I don't even need to read this post. It's just... Yuan Zhixian was attracted by the handwriting on the famous post at a glance.

"Good word! Good word!"

The handwriting on the name sticker, thick and majestic, shaped like a mountain, is a completely new font.

It turns out that this Lu Li has such talent?

At this moment, Yuan Zhixian's perception of Lu Li was a little better.

After a while, Lu Li walked into the back office.

"Student Lu Li, meet the magistrate."

After Lu Li entered the door, he bowed to Yuan Zhixian and saluted.

"No gift, no gift!"

Yuan Zhixian greeted Lu Li with a smile on his face, "Sit! Sit!"

After Lu Li sat down, Yuan Zhixian said again: "Ziming is here today, I don't know what is important?" (Note: Ziming is Lu Li's word.)

"The student has made a crude work, and I would like to ask Master Yuan to give some pointers."

Lu Li got up and handed the scroll to Yuan Zhixian.

"Oh?"

Yuan Zhixian remembered the handwriting on the famous post, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly picked it up, "Ziming's work, you must appreciate it!"

Reaching out and pulling out the scroll, Yuan Zhixian trembled when he saw this painting and this line of poetry.

Yuan Zhixian is also a scholar, and he has also passed the jinshi examination. His natural vision is not bad. How can he not see the extraordinary skills contained in Lu Li's painting?

And... this poem... is simply a true portrayal of this official!

Yazhai lay down and listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspecting that it was the voice of civil distress.

Some Xiaowu Caozhou county officials, each branch and leaf is always concerned about the situation.

Isn't this... written by this official?

With such exquisite painting skills, such profound calligraphy attainments, and such beautiful poems, Lu Li is worthy of being a famous student, and he is indeed an extraordinary learner!

At this moment, Yuan Zhixian's favorability toward Lu Li was really over the top.
