Another month later, Lu Xuan's eighth letter arrived in Hubei City.

"Review by the Imperial Academy, what kind of official position is this?" Mu Siyu knew nothing about ancient official positions.

"It's a leisurely job. It mainly studies the history of the country and handles some documents, which suits his temperament." Lu Yi said, "From the seventh rank, it doesn't matter in the capital."

Gao Yamen said: "It's better not to be eye-catching. Second Master Lu is simple-minded and can't play with those old foxes. He is suitable for these idle jobs."

"According to the time, the Qin family's caravan should have arrived in the capital, and the silver ticket I asked the Qin family to send should also be in his hands." Mu Siyu said, "The capital is a place where every inch of land is expensive. You can't even afford a house there, so I brought some extra banknotes for my second uncle, so I can buy whatever is missing, and then I asked the Qin family to help me buy two servants and send them over to take care of him."

"Ma'am, to be honest, I am your husband's long-lost brother, you should raise me together!" Wen Wensong said seriously.

"The extra money you get every month is dozens of times that of the moon's silver. Could it be that the silver fell from the sky?" Lu Yi said, "Next month, my mother-in-law and Dr. Zhu are going to hold a hundred-day banquet for Ping'an. Are you ready?" A gift, and then go to the banquet."

Zhu Chen's hundred-day banquet was held in the village.

The venue was set in the courtyard of Lu Yi and Mu Siyu's village, and more than 200 tables were prepared in total.

The chef in charge of the banquet is the master chef in the restaurant. The whole restaurant was packed, and the battle was so big that the men, women and children in the village did not dare to underestimate them. They went back and changed into the best clothes and came to the door with the most sincere gifts. eat wine.

"Sister-in-law Yao, you have a good relationship with sister-in-law Tong, please say something nice for me!"

Yao shi looked at the village woman in front of her and said, "What good things can you say?"

"Oh, I offended her before, this is not..."

"You have a small stomach, do you think other people have small stomachs? She is so busy every day, but she still remembers who you are? What's on her mind?" Yao Shi said.

"Ms. Dazhu, I heard that your Meiqin married an official?" Another woman asked.

Yao shi smiled lightly: "What marriage? The marriage we talked about just now hasn't passed the sixth ceremony yet!"

"We country people can't be too polite, we just accept the dowry and marry the girl directly."

"I think so too. It's just that my future son-in-law is a scholar and won the Juren. Now he works with the county magistrate Lu. There are twenty or thirty servants in the family. It can be regarded as a scholarly family. Their family rules are strict. According to the rules, anyone who carries a big sedan chair will marry our girl."

"Oh, I've already seen that Meiqin is a lucky person, can't I be sure?"

"That's right, Meiqin is getting better and better as she grows, and now she is married to an official, so she will be blessed in the future!"

Mrs. Chen, Lu Zhenzhen and others also came over.

Several people are dressed in full makeup, like people from two worlds with those old neighbors in the village.Everyone looked even more sour, and felt uncomfortable.

"At the beginning, the two of them had a good relationship with Lu Yi's family, but now they have become rich because of their favor."

"Didn't your boys like Zhenzhen before? At that time, you looked down on him. Now look at his dress, he looks like a lady from a rich family, with a maid."

Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Chen met, and they held hands and went to the side to talk.The relationship between Lu Zhenzhen and Lu Meiqin is also good, and the little sister also has a lot of whispers to say now.

"Are you safe?"

"I saw it once when I was just born. At that time, it was wrinkled and not very good-looking. But my sister-in-law said that newborn babies are like this, and it should have grown up by now."

"Let's go and have a look later, I bought a silver lock for Ping An."

"Coincidentally, I bought it too, but instead of a lock, it's a silver bracelet."

"Aunt Tong certainly doesn't lack these things, but this is our wish. By the way, did your family promise you a kiss? My sister-in-law said they are a good family, congratulations!"

Many people rushed to the village one after another.

Among these people were Dr. Zhu's patients, and there were also those who fawned on Lu Yi.

The villagers realized how prosperous the Lu family is now after seeing so many noble people.

"How poor the Lu family was back then, it is now so beautiful. It really confirms the saying - 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, laugh at me for being poor today, and don't cling to me tomorrow!" sighed the old bookworm in the village.

"Lord Lu." The village head respectfully spoke in front of Lu Yi.

Lu Yi said lightly: "The village chief is welcome."

"My lord is an official, and we are the people. People have to salute when they see an official. I understand this rule." The village head said, "Not long ago, I heard the news that the road in Shitou Village will be rebuilt. I wonder if it is true? "

"it is true."

"My lord, you see that the road in our village is quite difficult and dangerous. You have to be careful when the bullock cart passes Yunwan Road. If you don't pay attention, you will slip under the cliff. That road is just enough..."

"I understand what the village chief means. It's just that building roads is not a trivial matter. We will try the stone village first because it is a little easier to repair there. We will make other arrangements according to the situation."

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief was just trying, but seeing Lu Yi say this, he felt hopeful.

"The village head needs to understand that Lujia Village is always my hometown, and there is no other place that has been repaired, so why not here, right?" Lu Yi said.

"That's what the lord said."

"However, before the road is built, I will privately contribute a sum of money to rebuild our Lu family's ancestral hall. My brother Lu Xuan, a second-class Jinshi in high school, works in the Imperial Academy, so it can also be included in the family tree."

"Second Master Lu is in high school too?" The village head was overjoyed, "This is a great event that brings glory to our entire Lujia Village!"

"That's right, so Lujia Village will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"That's great, my lord." The village head couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Such good news should be known to everyone. Let's drink a few more glasses today, which can also be regarded as congratulations to Second Lord Lu who is far away in the capital."

News spread that Lu Xuan was a Jinshi in high school and had already served in the Imperial Academy.

"Is there smoke coming out of the Lu family's ancestral grave?"

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about? I thought it was the same as before, daring to talk nonsense about anything." The man next to him heard this, and quickly covered his wife's mouth.

Lu Yi didn't put on any official airs, but everyone talked to him with trepidation, as if an old man was scolding his son.

Lu Yi didn't want to embarrass them, he said what he needed to say, greeted several elders, and chatted with the merchant who took the initiative to chat.

These merchants were eager to establish a good relationship with Lu Yi, and every word they said was pleasant, and the honest villagers next to them were taken aback for a moment by their ability to flatter.

Mu Siyu came out holding peace.

The village women finally had a topic to talk about, and they praised the child in various ways, wishing to praise him as a fairy boy in the sky.

"The county magistrate's wife is your daughter, go talk to her!" Niu Mei pushed Mu Dashan.
