my life simulator

The whole family is all women, only Lu Li is a man.The Lu family in Huating is not thriving, the yin flourishes and the yang declines!No wonder being bullied miserably.

Lu Li also took care of the old lady's illness.

Lu Li could tell at a glance that the old lady was just overly anxious, and it was entirely a psychological problem.

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

After having dinner with his family, Lu Li went back to the courtyard and called the old butler Lu Sheng over.

"Uncle Sheng, I just came back, and many things are still unclear. Tell me the ins and outs of 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, Second Young Master and his classmates went to Yunyan Pavilion for a banquet. That night, Second Young Master stayed overnight in Yunyan Pavilion. The next day... the young lady in Yunyan Pavilion died. Therefore, Second Young Master was arrested The Huating county government has taken him to prison."

"Is this related to the Wang family?"

When Lu Li heard this, he immediately thought of framing him.

The little lady in Yunyan Pavilion is naturally a prostitute.No matter how powerful this cheap second uncle is, it is impossible for him to kill a prostitute worker who has been through countless battles.

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

The old butler hurriedly explained to Lu Li.

"Is that so?"

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

"Three thousand acres."

This number...is not too small, but it is not too many either.

For the sake of three thousand acres of land, why did the Wang family, as Xu Ge's in-laws, be so disregarding their appearance, and attack the Lu family, which is also a family of country gentry?

There must be greater interests in it!

But...the fields in Yunjian Township, Huating County have neither gold and silver mines nor valuable cash crops, so where is the benefit?

There is still too little information, and I can't think of a clue.

Lu Li nodded towards the old butler, "I see! I'll visit the county magistrate of Huating later and ask for news!"

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

The old butler is indeed a person who is used to being a butler, he is very thoughtful.

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

Lu Li sent the old butler away, turned around and went to the study.

It is better to be "gentle" when dealing with civil servants as a scholar, and it is not acceptable to just pay money.

The Lu family is a scholarly family, and there are naturally pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the study.

Lu Li spread out a roll of rice paper, pressed the paper and rubbed the ink, and picked up a brush to draw on the rice paper.

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

In the blank space, Lu Li mentioned another line of poem: "Ya Zhai listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspected to be the voice of suffering among the people; some small officials in Caozhou County, every branch and leaf are always concerned about love."

This is flattering Yuanzhi County.

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

It's just... this poem by Zheng Banqiao is really humiliating this poem when it is placed on Yuan Zhixian.

Lu Li curled his lips, changed to a fine brush, and wrote his name below.

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

Fortunately, it is not difficult.

Asking the maid to ask the old housekeeper for a piece of sapphire, Lu Li took out the dagger that the Japanese pirates had snatched, and began to cut it.

Sapphire is nephrite, and 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" on it.

Huating means Huating County.

Pick up the seal, dip it in cinnabar inkpad, stamp a seal on this picture scroll, and complete a work.

Lu Li used a scroll to frame the painting again, and after it dried, 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've got the car ready."

The old butler came up to meet him and bowed his hands to Lu Li.

"Thank you Uncle Sheng."

Lu Li sighed inwardly, the old housekeeper is really thoughtful, even the carriage is ready.

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

Then... Lu Li was almost knocked to the point of breaking his back.

In the era without shock absorbers, sitting on the road was a "car shock" all the way!

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

The condition of the roads in the city has improved a lot. The bluestone roads are fairly smooth and not so bumpy.

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

Lu Li rubbed his waist and got out of the car, walked to the gate of the county government office, took out a piece of silver, handed it to the gate guard, and sent a name card, "Student Lu Li, please see the county magistrate. Please inform."

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

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

Hou Ya, Yuan Zhixian heard the officer report "Lu Li asked to see him", and immediately knew that this was a friend who "divided the spoils together".

"Please come in!"

Reaching out to accept the name card, Yuan Zhixian waved his hand and sent the servants away.

Lu Li's name is actually enough, and there is no need to read these famous posts.It's just... Yuan Zhixian was attracted by the handwriting on the name post at a glance.

"Good words! Good words!"

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

So this Lu Li has such talent?

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

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

"Student Lu Li, pay homage to the county magistrate."

After Lu Li entered, he bowed to Yuan Zhi County.

"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, "Ziming came here today, what is the important matter?" (Note: Ziming is Lu Li's word.)

"The student made a rough painting, and I would like to ask Mr. Yuan for 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 lit up immediately, and he quickly took it over, "Ziming's works must be appreciated carefully!"

Reaching out to open the scroll, Yuan Zhixian trembled when he saw this painting and this line of poem.

Yuan Zhixian is also a scholar and has passed the Jinshi exam. Naturally, his 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 me!

Ya Zhai lay down and listened to Xiao Xiaozhu, suspected to be the voice of suffering among the people.

These little officials of Caozhou County, I always care about love every branch and leaf.

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

With such exquisite painting skills, such profound calligraphy skills, and such beautiful lines of poetry, Lu Li is worthy of being a descendant of a famous family, and he really has extraordinary talents!

At this moment, Yuan Zhixian's favorability towards Lu Li was really off the charts.

Chapter 378 Convincing people with strength, fists are the last word

"Good! Good calligraphy! Good painting! Good poetry!"

Yuan Zhixian looked at this picture scroll and couldn't help applauding loudly.

"Master Yuan has won the prize!"

Lu Li smiled modestly.

"Ziming (Lu Li), I didn't expect you to be so talented. You are worthy of being a queen of a famous family!"

Yuan Zhixian was full of admiration, and asked Lu Li quickly: "By the way, Ziming, I don't know what your fame is now?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, the student has been wandering abroad for many years, only recently returned home, and has not yet taken the imperial examination."

Lu Li cupped his hands towards Yuanzhi County, pretending to be ashamed.

"Is that so? It's time for the county examination next month, why doesn't Ziming come in and show his skills?"

Yuan Zhixian admired Lu Li's talent very much, so he naturally hoped that Lu Li would take the imperial examination.

Once Lu Li gets good grades, it's also due to Yuan Zhi County.

"Students have exactly that intention."

Lu Li cupped his hands towards Yuanzhi County, "I'm going back to my hometown this time, and I'm about to step into the examination room and show my aspirations."

"Good! Good!"

Yuan Zhixian was full of joy, and nodded again and again, "Then I wish Ziming's career will go straight to the sky, and he will win consecutive battles!"

Next, Lu Li chatted with Yuan Zhixian again.

Lu Li had read a lot of books on traditional culture as early as in the Master Craftsman plot, and also studied historical materials when he was studying cultural relics appraisal with Han Lao, so it is naturally not a problem to talk about literature with Yuan Zhixian this time.

After chatting for a while, Lu Li finally brought the topic to the point.

"Master Yuan, there is one more small matter for the students to come here this time."

Lu Li glanced at Yuanzhi County and said, "My second uncle, Lu Yan, was imprisoned for the Yunyan Pavilion murder a few years ago. This matter..."

"This matter... I naturally know about it."

Yuan Zhixian sighed slightly, "Ziming, there is another reason for this matter, I think... you know it too, right?"

"Students know a little bit."

Lu Li nodded, "What's strange to me is that the Lu family's [-] mu of land doesn't seem worth fighting, right? Although the Wang family is the Xu family's in-laws, it's not the Xu family after all. It seems that there is no need to have an enmity with our Lu family over this matter. Bar?"

"Ziming doesn't know something!"

Yuan Zhixian sighed, "Years ago, the central government issued a government order. After the spring of this year, all the prefectures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will change their fields to mulberries."

"what?"

Hearing this news, Lu Xin was shocked and was speechless for a long time.

Lying in a groove!

This is another crooked idea because Emperor Jiajing lacked the resources to cultivate immortals, right?

Changed fields to mulberry, expanded silk trade, and raised more money for Emperor Jiajing to cultivate immortals.

Expanding the silk trade is a good thing, but the question is... what will you eat if you don't farm?

Today's Ming Dynasty is not a descendant who has no shortage of food.All fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been converted into mulberries. How can the food shortage of tens of millions of people be filled?
