The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]
Chapter 148 Warring States
It is not known exactly which medicine the eldest grandson of the Lu family took, but it is good news that he can be cured. After the first person to visit confirmed the news, there was an endless stream of visitors.
Since the door-to-door came naturally with gifts, and everyone brought presents, Lu Weng naturally wanted to keep someone for a meal. People who left after the banquet all praised Lu's family for being kind, and the meals were all meaty.How did they know that this was not Lu Weng's kindness, but that the consumption of animals in the family had indeed increased recently.
The eldest grandson not only reached out to the little pig, but also the chicken.
After obtaining the right to castrate Xiaozhu with one book, Dalang Lu obtained the qualification to trim the beaks of his hens with two books.
Those are hens that can lay eggs!The old man's heart was bleeding, but who told him to lose the bet with his grandson without authorization? As an elder, how could he say no.
If it wasn't for the fact that the grandson hadn't been taken care of carefully after every move, and he had to study it carefully, it didn't look like he was messing around, Lu Weng would have thought that the first child in the family had been invaded by the evil star of chaos.But despite this, Lu Weng hid the weirdness of Lu Jia Dalang, and the corpses of livestock that died for various reasons were processed and sent to the dining room.
Two castrated pigs died, and five hens whose beaks were severed died. These became the meals of the Lu family, and the guests who came to the house naturally took advantage of this.But later, the guests who came to join in the fun did not have this treatment. These people may think that their idea of eating dinner is very embarrassing, but in fact it is because Lu Dalang's interest has shifted again.
After destroying the pigs and chickens at home, the eldest grandson immediately lost interest in the small animals who had resumed their diet and adapted to their new identities. A little bit older children are digging holes in the yard with farm tools, and they also threaten that the place faces south, what kind of flowers do they grow?We must grow vegetables!
How dare Mrs. Lu let her son do this, and she really can't resist her baby's mouthful of a mother who is acting like a baby every day, so she can only send a few people to divide a piece of land according to her son's idea. After a long time, he ran over and said that he wanted to plant rice.
Puyang is located in the north, and rice has always been a crop in the south. It is expensive and inconvenient to grow. At first, Lu Weng thought it was because his grandson was greedy and wanted to eat rice, so he wanted to grow rice. The grandson took it away and refused to eat it.
This is strange.
"An'er, tell Aye, why do you want to grow rice?" Lu Weng asked his grandson to ask.
His grandson is over five years old this year, but it has only been a month since he woke up. The child doesn't understand anything. Lu Weng was very patient with his only grandson, but his answer surprised him. "Aye, the land my mother gave An'er is a cold field, which cannot grow food. After An'er fills the field with water, he can grow rice. After a few years of planting, the land will be warm."
Lengtian is saline-alkali land.
Puyang is located in the south of the Yellow River, and its water resources should be considered abundant, but there are no rivers in the country, and all irrigation water depends on the Yellow River and precipitation.In addition, there are no mountains and rivers around this place, winter and spring are dry and summer is hot, and there is less land and more people, so there is no fallow time, and the natural land is gradually lost.
The house behind the Lu family’s current house itself is also farmland, but its output has been declining year by year. Although the farmers know that this is not good, the output cannot provide for the family’s livelihood. There is no other way but to keep planting. It became land, and salt grains were oozing from the surface, making it completely uncultivable.
The Lu family bought it at a cheap price to use it as a livestock shed. Yes, this is actually a way for Mrs. Lu to deceive her son.
Of course Lu Weng knew about this, but he was surprised how his grandson would know.
Unexpectedly, he looked at his grandson and thought for a while, then tilted his head to look at him in doubt, "An'er just knows."
Lu Weng was silent for a moment, he suddenly took a deep breath and picked up his grandson and went to the study. At noon, when Lu Mi came to find her husband and grandson to have dinner, she saw her husband's distraught face. She was immediately startled, Hastily stepped forward to ask, Lu Weng had a strange expression, half crying and half laughing, "An'er met a divine grant."
Lu Mi was startled, she hurriedly went out to look around, Lu Weng said behind her back, "No one, I sent everyone away before."
The Lu family is just struggling from the poverty line. It is considered a small rich family, and there are not many servants. Of course, no one will come to the master's house if they go down to rest.Lv Lao felt relieved when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked carefully.
As the name suggests, the gods are some people who are taught by the gods, that is, those who are born with knowledge in legends. These people are not uncommon, and they are often heard in ancient books and rumors. Silly, now suddenly when he wakes up, his mind is full of knowledge that he shouldn't know, all of these are naturally connected into a thread in Lu Weng's mind.
——The grandson was stupid before because he was summoned to the side of the immortal to receive education, but now he was released after the teaching, so he became smart all of a sudden.
"An'er is unforgettable to listen to and look at. How can he be an idiot with this talent." Lu Weng said to his old wife very proudly, but after thinking about it, he said again: "You don't want to say it!"
"Why?" Lady Lu was puzzled, her grandson was stupid, the fact that the Lu family had no heir had been her heart disease before, and many people had ridiculed their family before. It's not just passed on to idiots.Now that the grandson's incident happened, and she was not allowed to talk about it, wouldn't it be like wearing brocade at night and the soles of his shoes covered with gold, so he didn't feel proud at all?
Lu Weng also sighed at this matter, "A few days ago, you wanted to find a companion for your son to read..."
As soon as he said it, Lv Yu understood what the old man meant. If the news that their An'er was a god-givers reached Mr. Wei's ears, then no matter whether it was for the name or for An'er's knowledge, he would give it a try. Will definitely be called to the palace.Leaving aside the possibility of this young master inheriting the great cause in the future, once he becomes a companion of the young master, it will not go well for An'er's future career, especially when the state of Wei is in decline.
And when the time comes, those people will definitely find a way to dig out from An'er what he was taught. The grandson is only five years old. How can they make it clear that their family has no official status and can't protect the child. She still has to suffer for this, thinking of this, Lu Mi immediately turned serious, "I know, I will tell my wife immediately, this news will not be let out of the Lu family."
Lu Weng nodded in approval, inevitably still worried.
His family has now registered as a merchant, and now all countries are suppressing merchants. Before that, he heard the news that Wei Guo would introduce a new law: the descendants of merchants are not allowed to be officials within three generations.
If this law is really implemented, then all the plans of the eldest son when he was a businessman at that time will be in vain.At that time, the Lu family was already close to being destitute, and Lu Weng was a scholar, but the most indispensable thing in Weiguo was also a scholar. If the eldest son hadn't decided to go into business, the Lu family would have sold books to make ends meet.
The matter of the eldest son abandoning his writing was a pain in Lu Weng's heart. He suffered from his own incompetence. The eldest son was talented, but he had to give up his official career just to earn a fortune for his family.As long as the book is there, the Lu family is not afraid of getting lost.
However, if the government of Wei State comes out, the eldest son's business will affect the three generations of descendants.Once the laws of the State of Wei are implemented, they will immediately affect the State of Wei.
The grandson has such a talent and such an opportunity, it is impossible for Lu Weng not to think more.In this way, the grandson will be delayed because of the eldest son, and the recovery of the Lu family will also be delayed.
If so...
If it doesn't work, you can only change your nationality.
However, Lu Weng planned to discuss this matter with his eldest son after he returned. The most important thing now is to teach his grandson first.
He was so fond of touching his collection of books one by one, he just felt that his heart was about to move.
However, Mr. Lu was so frustrated that he gave up his thoughts very quickly. The reason is very simple. Although the eldest grandson has a good memory...but he is illiterate!So now he wants to teach his children, he can only lead the children to read sentence by sentence, starting from the most basic literacy.
Kid Lu An showed a little resistance to literacy, the child's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the chubby hand was so shocked that he tapped on the words on the bamboo scroll, "This is not a word."
Lu Weng frowned when he heard this, Weiguo's writing came from Wei, but Lu Weng showed his grandson the real Weiguo's writing, he looked at the position where his grandson's chubby hand was pointing, and asked patiently, "What does An'er think?" Is it a word?"
So he saw the little grandson pick up a pen and write a few words crookedly on the bamboo slips, and then said to Lu Weng very proudly, "This is An'er's name, grandpa, yours is a painting~" Lu Weng did not Angry, he took a closer look and found that the eldest grandson wrote a simpler script than the current Wei script, with flat, wide and straight characters.
Could it be the words used by immortals?It doesn't make sense, immortals live the same life as the sky, the writing should be more complicated and magnificent, how can it be so simple?Lu Weng thought for a while, and then felt that he seemed to have seen this font somewhere... But let's put this aside for now, the eldest grandson can write a few characters and doesn't want to learn Weiguo characters, how can this work?
Words are the foundation of a country. Wouldn't it be a joke if one's own family didn't know their own words?Before that, Wei Guo had a trouble because of Wei Guo's forced promotion of its characters, but it was a pity that it was suppressed, but which one of the Wei people can write two sets of characters?
In Lv Weng's eyes, if young children do not learn Wei characters, they are forgetting their roots, which is absolutely unacceptable.However, the eldest grandson is now the baby of the family, the old wife and daughter-in-law are very close, Lu Weng also loves him very much, and he is not willing to scold him too much. After thinking for a long time, he still agrees to his grandson to grow rice at the door in exchange Here comes Xiao Langjun's promise to learn Wei characters with his mouth pouted.
Then he exchanged his help with digging and irrigation in exchange for his grandson's promise to practice calligraphy and endorsement every day.
Just as he was about to exchange the seeds for something, he found his grandson holding the previous bag of rice and looking at him vigilantly.
Cough cough, Lu Weng immediately coughed dryly, swallowed back what he hadn't said yet, and restored his previous kind image of Weng, he said that of course A Weng would not do anything to steal your rice, come here, my good grandson , Aye taught you to write a letter to Daddy!
Half a month later, Lu Buwei, who is located in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, received a letter from his family. He was taken aback after reading the scroll. The words on the bamboo scroll were very immature, not written by his father. He only started to read the content on the second glance. , The more I read, the more amazed that my son has recovered from his illness, and he has also recovered to the point where he can write to him. Although it is only a few words, it is enough to make people gratified.
The man who has been haggard because of a sudden thought these days squeezed the bamboo scroll sent by his son. He stretched out his fingers and touched the ink stains on it. It was written by a novice. Only through this, he can think of the appearance of the little fat boy at home who is struggling to use a pen.
Lu Buwei has not returned home for two years, and he does not know the specific recovery of his son. In addition, the family has been telling him about taking medicine. He only thinks that his son has gone through a long recovery, so reading this letter is not too much. Overwhelmed.
He quickly re-rolled it, and opened his father's one again, and his brows were furrowed when he saw it.
The letter written by his father is obviously not very important to others, but in his opinion, every word and every word in it is very sensitive.
——The new policy of the Wei State wants to suppress business.
Not good news for their family.
Although Lu Buwei is a native of Wei, his long-term business scope is not between Wei and Wei, but to Qi and Zhao, which are farther away. Although Qi and Zhao are neighbors, they are also sworn enemies. In ancient times, the merchants who saw each other were not so pleasing to the eye, and it would be difficult for them to do business daily. As a defender of the country, Lu Buwei was relatively able to enjoy both sides. Stepped out of a business path.Once the business path has been established, it is natural to find a way to develop to the high end.
The state of Zhao has been established for many years, but the treasury will inevitably be empty during the long-term war with other countries, and the domestic economic environment is also tense. Under such circumstances, it is much more reliable to open the way with gold and silver than with feelings. The earthy recipe begins to climb up from the end of the banquet.
He is also a scholar and a businessman. An elegant and rich businessman is very happy at a banquet. There are many people in this world who hug their own sunset Yu Xun to save face, and face is something that needs some confidence. He Just can give this part of the confidence.
Lu Buwei has traveled a lot and is well-informed. He is generous and good at flattering and praising others. Coupled with his loyalty, he gradually has a few small circles around him. He also gradually gained a reputation in the aristocratic circle of Zhao State. The seats at the table were getting higher and higher, and finally he was lucky enough to participate in a higher-level banquet, where he met a person.
Qin Guo was sent to Zhao Guo as a hostage, the unfavored concubine son of the current Prince Qin, Ying Yiren.
Being a hostage in a foreign country is not always easy, not to mention that Qin and Zhao are warring countries. When they met for the first time, Zhao had the upper hand between the two countries, so Ying Yi was ridiculed miserably, and After a period of time, the Qin State gained the upper hand again, and the foreigner became the object of ridicule by these young princes and grandchildren.Lu Buwei observed carefully, and he found that Yiren was very interesting, and he was very good at forbearance.
Whether he is being laughed at or scolded by others, he always maintains a submissive attitude. This appearance naturally quickly makes the princes and grandchildren bored. If Lu Buwei hadn't been watching closely, he really wouldn't have found a little stubbornness in this person's bones.This person is like rush grass, it seems that it can be easily overwhelmed, but it is very difficult to break him.
No matter how tortured he was the day before, he would still show up the next day whenever there was a banquet.
interesting.
is a person.
can make friends.
He made such a judgment.
But out of caution, he inquired about this Qin Yiren in the social circle, and the conclusions he got were similar—bastard son, mother was not favored, was sent to Qin by his father, had difficulty living without financial support, and couldn’t get enough to eat. The superposition constitutes a poor foreign proton, a proton who is obviously sent by a powerful country but can bully at will and no one will stand up for him.
Lu Buwei knows very well that such a person lives in despair and suffering for a long time, and there are too few opportunities for him to choose in his life, so once he sees a straw, he will hold on to it.
He wanted to be this straw, because he saw infinite possibilities from the alien.
This possibility really moved him, and before that he was hesitant to step into this muddy water, but now, it seemed that he was given this excuse somewhere.
God gives it, if you don't take it, you will be disgusted by God.
The man rolled up the bamboo scroll with one hand, and he stood up abruptly. He wanted to go home, and he wanted to discuss this matter with his father face to face.
He is ready to use all of his own as a bet to bet on this monstrous fortune.
But before going home...why did his father ask him to go all the way to buy a piglet and go home?
Although he wants to go home, he still needs to maintain his network in Zhao State, and he needs to worry about all the arrangements after he leaves. Therefore, it will be two months before Lu Buwei really enters the border of Wei State.
It is said that it is the border of the country, but it is actually the edge of the city-state. After all, there is only one city left in Weiguo itself. He drove the ox cart all the way forward, while sitting on the shaft of the cart and paying attention to the chatter of the people around him. skills derived from time to time.
The most expensive goods must be what the king needs, but the best-selling goods must be what the people are talking about.This is also the skill by which he was able to accumulate a large amount of money in such a short period of time.However, after listening for a long time, he was surprised to find that the people of Weiguo had only one topic of chatting - farming.
Along the way, the keywords he heard were all seedling raising, ridge field, composting, irrigation, cold field and warm field and so on.
Some of these nouns are familiar to him and some are unfamiliar to him, but the most mentioned one is the Lu family.
Lu Buwei's family is actually surnamed Jiang, and his family is believed to be after Jiang Shang, the founding father of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu is their family's clan name. However, because Lu Buwei was in business, most outsiders call his family by his surname instead of his name.
So this Lu family should indeed belong to their family.
what happened?Lu Buwei was a little flustered. Just as he was about to walk to the door of his house, he suddenly saw an old man and a young man who were picking up guests at the door.
The old man was stroking his beard and laughing, talking and laughing with the visitor. With the other hand, he was holding a young child who could not reach his waist. The child was wearing a small braid, with a white and round face, plump cheeks, and looked chubby Extremely cute, with big black eyes and extremely agile, he was staring at the horse led by the guest and thinking about something, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, Lu Buwei felt that the child's gaze fell on the underbelly of the horse...
It should be because of my wrong angle!How could such a young child care about this?
Just as he was thinking about the traces of shame for himself, he suddenly met the child's eyes, Lu Buwei stopped thinking about it, he hurriedly got off the bullock cart and walked quickly, "Father! The child is back!"
After some fuss, the visiting guests greeted him and said they would visit another day, and they were considerate enough to leave room for the reunited Lu family.Lu Weng and Lu Buwei both came to hug their son and cried. Mrs. Lu also cried when she saw her husband who had not returned for a long time. The family surrounded Lu Buwei and entered the house, completely forgetting the goods he brought back. outside.
The forgotten little Douding looked back at the unreliable adults, and had no choice but to prop up the scene at this moment and wave people and the several carts of goods he brought back into Lu's house.But not long after the door closed, Lu Buwei's status dropped immediately.Because Lu Buwei brought back a lot of goods this time, the two hostesses of the Lu family and their son/husband had to focus on these things after reminiscing about the past, especially the piglets and lambs brought back by Lu Buwei, and the two pigs. Calves are even more important.
In farming society, the value of a cow is no less than the combination of a BMW and a tractor. For an ordinary family, the value of an adult cow is almost equivalent to the status of vehicles such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz in modern society.Although it will not be bankrupt, it will take several years to save up without eating or drinking before buying one.
The price of calves is slightly lower, but these are two calves. As long as they can be raised, they are very good whether they are used at home or sold.There were so many livestock coming all at once, and all the cubs couldn't fit in the cages, so they had to find someone to build animal sheds quickly.
Father Lu focused all his attention on the box of treasures brought back by Lu Buwei.
Before that, Lu Buwei traveled to various countries many times for business, and even went to war zones many times. This kind of utensils that cannot be eaten or used are completely worthless when they are about to survive. This is the case with food and antiques in troubled times. Lu Buwei used some means to collect various There are few cultural relics and antiques, he has no plan to collect them himself, and treasures are hot, these are the stones for him to open up his relationship network in the future.
Although he has done some research on this, his father has been deeply immersed in this way. This time he brought all of them back to ask his father to hold his eyes.Unexpectedly, as soon as his father saw him open the box, he didn't even bother to talk to him, and immediately picked up a few rolls of bamboo slips and hurried back to the room.He was obviously a wanderer who hadn't returned for many years, but now he was standing alone in the courtyard.Lu Buwei felt a little helpless, he shook his head and chuckled, and was about to call his servants to boil water for him, when he saw his short and sturdy son standing in front of him at some point.
It was at such a stop that Lu Buwei discovered that the child's facial features had completely absorbed the advantages of him and his wife, especially his pair of eyes, which looked very much like his wife, watery and round, as clear as a bright stream, with eyelashes flickering. Blink and blink, it is as lively as a clear spring.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it is completely fine?
...Why is it so short?Zhao Guo's five-year-old child is half a head taller than his own son. Could it be because of taking medicine for a long time?
Then he saw his son sized him up for a while and then suddenly raised his hand to him.
Lu Buwei was a little puzzled at first, and then he heard the young man's milky voice say to him angrily, "Hold hands."
For a moment, for some reason, Lu Buwei felt his heart was suddenly hit, and he felt a little flattered at the moment. When he carefully held his son's chubby little hand, he felt his heart soften. Immediately after being held by his hand, he was obedient and came to his side.At this moment, Lu Buwei felt that if his son told him that he wanted to pick the stars, he would think of a way.
But Lu Xiaoan didn't want Xing Xing, he thought his father was smelly, and wanted him to clean up for nothing, so Lu Buwei was taken by his son to take a bath as soon as he got home.
That's right, Lu Buwei would never have imagined that his five-year-old boy would command the servants to prepare for the bath, and even be so intimate that he forced himself into the bathtub, soaking with his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. piece.
The bathtub that the Lu family uses now is very special. It looks like an ordinary wooden basin, but an iron cylinder is inserted in it. At first, Lu Buwei didn't understand what it was. After putting firewood and hay on the fire and starting the fire, it suddenly dawned on me: "Is this something that keeps the water from cooling down?"
The young gentleman of the Lu family nodded. After confirming that the iron cylinder was hot, he ran to the other end of the iron bucket by stepping on the water in the tub, and then said to his father who had washed the dust off his body, "Father, sit over there. It's warm there."
Lu Buwei is a little strange, he wanders among nobles all the year round, and naturally he is sometimes stayed overnight when he is drunk, but he can say with certainty that no matter which master's house has such a bathing method nowadays.If you want to take a bath, there will be attendants who will continue to heat the water in the water. Although the water temperature can be maintained, it will naturally cause the water flow in the bucket to oscillate, and you will be frequently disturbed.
He did hear that a craftsman in the palace had made a design that could boil water outside the house and continuously send hot water into the pool through pipes. No outsiders would disturb Wang during the bath, but the cost was far more than a word, and now the same The effect can be achieved with an iron bucket.
He fiddled and observed for a while, and quickly figured out the reason.
This iron bucket is inserted in the water, as long as there is fuel, there is no need for others to add water, and there is no need to worry about the water getting cold, and the temperature can be adjusted by opening and closing the small opening at the top.
Lu Buwei immediately thought of the great benefits of this thing in a flash of thought,
Bathing is extremely important, but if you are not careful while bathing, you will easily catch wind and cold, so many people who are not so rich will try to reduce the number of baths in winter, but if you do not bathe for a long time, you will have bad smell. It was extremely rude.
As far as he knows, there are not a few people who have this distress.He can fully imagine how popular this thing will be if the cost is not high and ordinary people can afford it.
But at this moment, his son was sitting opposite him, and his short legs were paddling in the bathtub. Lu Buwei could feel that his son was observing him, so he suppressed this idea first, and prepared to communicate with his son first.
"An'er..."
"Aye said Father is a great businessman, right?"
Lu Buwei didn't feel annoyed when the words he was about to say were interrupted, and after listening to his son's words, he knew that this was the father's image of himself in front of the young son. However, he felt that his father's words to the child were too exaggerated. I'm afraid I'm going to be extremely disappointed if I go down one way.
He was so good-tempered that he shook his head, "It's just an ordinary merchant...how can it be so extraordinary."
"An'er heard that his father was in the business world, so he put righteousness first and did not cheat. People who have done business with my father praised his kindness, and they have all become friends of my father," Lu An's small head said. Off to the side, "Turning an enemy into a friend, An'er thinks this is very remarkable."
Lu Buwei laughed out loud when he heard the words. Seeing that the boy's black hair was already wet with water, he waved for his son to come over. Xiao Douding didn't care at all that this was actually the first time the father and son met, so he didn't recognize him so much that he came over. Lu Buwei stretched out his hand and hugged the little chubby boy at home, then he took the handkerchief on the side and tied it on his son's hair, and after wrapping all his son's black hair in the cloth towel, he took a soap stone and rubbed it for his son Taking a bath, this was the first time he did it. He was cautious at first, but later he found that his son was really good-tempered, and he would frown when he was in pain, so he gradually let go of his hand, and soon he looked good. "I can't talk about enemies at all. How can I turn an enemy into a friend? It's too exaggerated."
Unexpectedly, the child in his arms nodded with a profound expression, "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, An'er understands."
...Where did this saying come from?
Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows, and wanted to ask carefully, but seeing the child's whole body was rubbed red, and seeing the water temperature gradually rising, he was really not sure how the child would feel, so he wanted to hug his son and get up. The child suppressed it seriously, and the youngest son firmly stated that he would give him a bath, and he said that a man's relationship is sublimated in the bath and the wine table, and the set of rhetoric made Lu Buwei so dumbfounded that he could only recite it. Turning around to enjoy a scrubbing bath that my son loves.
Let's not talk about how it feels, but from the child's panting appearance, Lu Buwei can feel that his son is working very hard to connect with him.
People's feelings are mutual. Lu Buwei's feelings for this son are not very deep. When the child was just born, he was in an important period of life. When he later found out that the child had dementia, he was also doing business outside. Although he was depressed after the news, but because he was too busy, when he recovered later, he found that he had calmed down unconsciously.
Later, even though he did his best to treat the child, he never let go of seeking medical advice, medicine, and money to return home, but he was just doing his duty.
In the end, everything left only the word responsibility, which was already extremely cold, so after receiving the letter from his father that the eldest son recovered, he was just stunned until he saw the child standing in front of him alive and kicking.The moment the child looked over, the feeling of the same blood was clamoring.
This feeling is extremely subtle, making him feel that he really likes this child at that moment.
——And this father-son relationship encountered a challenge that night. When Lu Buwei wanted to go back to his room to rest after a busy day, he suddenly heard his son whispering to his wife in his room: "Mom, I think I quite like Father. Otherwise, let's try again and see if we can get along with Father. If it doesn't work, you can separate from Father and An'er will take care of you!"
Brat!
Lu Buwei's good self-cultivation disappeared at this moment. He entered the room with a ferocious smile, picked up the little fat man with a shocked expression on his knees, and slapped his round buttocks twice.
Little Lu An has been held in the hands of the whole family since he woke up, not to mention spanking, he didn't even pinch his face.
When he was hit suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react. After a while, the chubby face immediately wrinkled.
But the child didn't cry. After being put down by his father, he silently crawled to the corner of the bed, sat down at the farthest distance from Lu Buwei, faced the wall with his little butt facing him, and used the most clear body movements Said - ignore daddy.
Lu Buwei felt a little regretful when he attacked rashly, so he only slapped him twice and let it go lightly. Now that the slight anger before seeing the child like this has completely dissipated, now he just feels dumbfounded.
Seeing that his wife kept giving him winks, and hearing the little fat boy say that he likes him just now, in short, there were a million mixed feelings in his heart, and finally all softened into one.
He stretched out his hand to poke his son's round buttocks, the child flinched, ignored him, poked the little shoulder, the child suddenly shrugged.Lu Buwei suddenly had a bad taste, poked the right side, the child turned left, poked the left side, the child turned right, anyway, he was very angry, and he ignored it.
He blinked, stretched out two hands under his wife's helpless gaze, and poked the little fat baby's waist from left to right.
Mrs. Lu watched her husband and their five-year-old child quarrel and roll around on the floor, forcing her energetic son to lie on the couch and yawn. She could only smile and shake her head, "Husband, this If you want to make trouble with him, I'm afraid An'er will wet the bed at night."
Lu Buwei froze, his expression was quite deep, he looked at his son who was about to fall asleep with his belly puffed out, hesitated for a long time between taking the little fat baby out to sleep and cultivating the relationship between father and son, sighed "If An'er really ...Yes, it’s for my husband.”
Mrs. Lu glanced at him, but said nothing.
Then at night, she was not surprised to see Qiqi's snoring husband and son. She tried to poke her husband, and she was not surprised to see Lu Buwei turn around on the bed, scratching the quilt Where she poked, but after a while, the cry came again.
Oh man.
But on this point, the father and son did not admit it the next morning.
Lu Xiaoan straightened his body firmly and said that it is impossible for me to wet the bed.
Lu Buwei also straightened his back and said that it is impossible for me to wake up. He also glanced at his son and said: "Since An'er didn't wet the bed, it is even more impossible for me to wake up."
Lu Xiaoan also immediately got to this point: "Since Daddy was not woken up by being woken up, then An'er definitely didn't wet the bed!"
Yes, for the sake of their own dignity, the father and son firmly stood on the same front, and they showed righteous expressions in front of Mrs. Lu who was a little black and blue.
Mrs. Lu's gaze turned to the quilt which was basking in the sun, then at her son's changed clothes, then at her energetic husband, and finally she laughed and said nothing.
After breakfast, Lu Buwei straightened his clothes and stepped into his father's study with a solemn face. Lu Weng had been waiting for him for a long time.The father and son looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding.
Lu Weng was in the upper position. He looked at his prostrating son and was silent for a long time. Just now, his child told him an extremely risky thing. He planned to use people as commodities and bet all of the Lu family's wealth in a game. Gambling like never before.
If he wins, there will be a lot of prosperity and wealth to change his family, riches and honors. If he loses, it will not be as simple as the head falling to the ground, and the entire Lu family will be reduced to dust.
And most importantly, this move means that the Lu family will stand in line and vote for Qin.
Now that Qin and Zhao are fighting against each other, this move is not risky. According to his son, he just wants to seize the situation when the situation between Qin and Zhao is unknown and put down the bet. Only by sending warmth from the inside can this son remember him forever.
In the past, he might not agree to such a risky thing.
just now...
He slowly took out a roll of bamboo, unfolded it and placed it in front of his son, "My son, let's see if this word contains Qin Feng."
Lu Buwei: Why did you suddenly study calligraphy when you were talking about serious things? ? ? ?
Since the door-to-door came naturally with gifts, and everyone brought presents, Lu Weng naturally wanted to keep someone for a meal. People who left after the banquet all praised Lu's family for being kind, and the meals were all meaty.How did they know that this was not Lu Weng's kindness, but that the consumption of animals in the family had indeed increased recently.
The eldest grandson not only reached out to the little pig, but also the chicken.
After obtaining the right to castrate Xiaozhu with one book, Dalang Lu obtained the qualification to trim the beaks of his hens with two books.
Those are hens that can lay eggs!The old man's heart was bleeding, but who told him to lose the bet with his grandson without authorization? As an elder, how could he say no.
If it wasn't for the fact that the grandson hadn't been taken care of carefully after every move, and he had to study it carefully, it didn't look like he was messing around, Lu Weng would have thought that the first child in the family had been invaded by the evil star of chaos.But despite this, Lu Weng hid the weirdness of Lu Jia Dalang, and the corpses of livestock that died for various reasons were processed and sent to the dining room.
Two castrated pigs died, and five hens whose beaks were severed died. These became the meals of the Lu family, and the guests who came to the house naturally took advantage of this.But later, the guests who came to join in the fun did not have this treatment. These people may think that their idea of eating dinner is very embarrassing, but in fact it is because Lu Dalang's interest has shifted again.
After destroying the pigs and chickens at home, the eldest grandson immediately lost interest in the small animals who had resumed their diet and adapted to their new identities. A little bit older children are digging holes in the yard with farm tools, and they also threaten that the place faces south, what kind of flowers do they grow?We must grow vegetables!
How dare Mrs. Lu let her son do this, and she really can't resist her baby's mouthful of a mother who is acting like a baby every day, so she can only send a few people to divide a piece of land according to her son's idea. After a long time, he ran over and said that he wanted to plant rice.
Puyang is located in the north, and rice has always been a crop in the south. It is expensive and inconvenient to grow. At first, Lu Weng thought it was because his grandson was greedy and wanted to eat rice, so he wanted to grow rice. The grandson took it away and refused to eat it.
This is strange.
"An'er, tell Aye, why do you want to grow rice?" Lu Weng asked his grandson to ask.
His grandson is over five years old this year, but it has only been a month since he woke up. The child doesn't understand anything. Lu Weng was very patient with his only grandson, but his answer surprised him. "Aye, the land my mother gave An'er is a cold field, which cannot grow food. After An'er fills the field with water, he can grow rice. After a few years of planting, the land will be warm."
Lengtian is saline-alkali land.
Puyang is located in the south of the Yellow River, and its water resources should be considered abundant, but there are no rivers in the country, and all irrigation water depends on the Yellow River and precipitation.In addition, there are no mountains and rivers around this place, winter and spring are dry and summer is hot, and there is less land and more people, so there is no fallow time, and the natural land is gradually lost.
The house behind the Lu family’s current house itself is also farmland, but its output has been declining year by year. Although the farmers know that this is not good, the output cannot provide for the family’s livelihood. There is no other way but to keep planting. It became land, and salt grains were oozing from the surface, making it completely uncultivable.
The Lu family bought it at a cheap price to use it as a livestock shed. Yes, this is actually a way for Mrs. Lu to deceive her son.
Of course Lu Weng knew about this, but he was surprised how his grandson would know.
Unexpectedly, he looked at his grandson and thought for a while, then tilted his head to look at him in doubt, "An'er just knows."
Lu Weng was silent for a moment, he suddenly took a deep breath and picked up his grandson and went to the study. At noon, when Lu Mi came to find her husband and grandson to have dinner, she saw her husband's distraught face. She was immediately startled, Hastily stepped forward to ask, Lu Weng had a strange expression, half crying and half laughing, "An'er met a divine grant."
Lu Mi was startled, she hurriedly went out to look around, Lu Weng said behind her back, "No one, I sent everyone away before."
The Lu family is just struggling from the poverty line. It is considered a small rich family, and there are not many servants. Of course, no one will come to the master's house if they go down to rest.Lv Lao felt relieved when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked carefully.
As the name suggests, the gods are some people who are taught by the gods, that is, those who are born with knowledge in legends. These people are not uncommon, and they are often heard in ancient books and rumors. Silly, now suddenly when he wakes up, his mind is full of knowledge that he shouldn't know, all of these are naturally connected into a thread in Lu Weng's mind.
——The grandson was stupid before because he was summoned to the side of the immortal to receive education, but now he was released after the teaching, so he became smart all of a sudden.
"An'er is unforgettable to listen to and look at. How can he be an idiot with this talent." Lu Weng said to his old wife very proudly, but after thinking about it, he said again: "You don't want to say it!"
"Why?" Lady Lu was puzzled, her grandson was stupid, the fact that the Lu family had no heir had been her heart disease before, and many people had ridiculed their family before. It's not just passed on to idiots.Now that the grandson's incident happened, and she was not allowed to talk about it, wouldn't it be like wearing brocade at night and the soles of his shoes covered with gold, so he didn't feel proud at all?
Lu Weng also sighed at this matter, "A few days ago, you wanted to find a companion for your son to read..."
As soon as he said it, Lv Yu understood what the old man meant. If the news that their An'er was a god-givers reached Mr. Wei's ears, then no matter whether it was for the name or for An'er's knowledge, he would give it a try. Will definitely be called to the palace.Leaving aside the possibility of this young master inheriting the great cause in the future, once he becomes a companion of the young master, it will not go well for An'er's future career, especially when the state of Wei is in decline.
And when the time comes, those people will definitely find a way to dig out from An'er what he was taught. The grandson is only five years old. How can they make it clear that their family has no official status and can't protect the child. She still has to suffer for this, thinking of this, Lu Mi immediately turned serious, "I know, I will tell my wife immediately, this news will not be let out of the Lu family."
Lu Weng nodded in approval, inevitably still worried.
His family has now registered as a merchant, and now all countries are suppressing merchants. Before that, he heard the news that Wei Guo would introduce a new law: the descendants of merchants are not allowed to be officials within three generations.
If this law is really implemented, then all the plans of the eldest son when he was a businessman at that time will be in vain.At that time, the Lu family was already close to being destitute, and Lu Weng was a scholar, but the most indispensable thing in Weiguo was also a scholar. If the eldest son hadn't decided to go into business, the Lu family would have sold books to make ends meet.
The matter of the eldest son abandoning his writing was a pain in Lu Weng's heart. He suffered from his own incompetence. The eldest son was talented, but he had to give up his official career just to earn a fortune for his family.As long as the book is there, the Lu family is not afraid of getting lost.
However, if the government of Wei State comes out, the eldest son's business will affect the three generations of descendants.Once the laws of the State of Wei are implemented, they will immediately affect the State of Wei.
The grandson has such a talent and such an opportunity, it is impossible for Lu Weng not to think more.In this way, the grandson will be delayed because of the eldest son, and the recovery of the Lu family will also be delayed.
If so...
If it doesn't work, you can only change your nationality.
However, Lu Weng planned to discuss this matter with his eldest son after he returned. The most important thing now is to teach his grandson first.
He was so fond of touching his collection of books one by one, he just felt that his heart was about to move.
However, Mr. Lu was so frustrated that he gave up his thoughts very quickly. The reason is very simple. Although the eldest grandson has a good memory...but he is illiterate!So now he wants to teach his children, he can only lead the children to read sentence by sentence, starting from the most basic literacy.
Kid Lu An showed a little resistance to literacy, the child's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the chubby hand was so shocked that he tapped on the words on the bamboo scroll, "This is not a word."
Lu Weng frowned when he heard this, Weiguo's writing came from Wei, but Lu Weng showed his grandson the real Weiguo's writing, he looked at the position where his grandson's chubby hand was pointing, and asked patiently, "What does An'er think?" Is it a word?"
So he saw the little grandson pick up a pen and write a few words crookedly on the bamboo slips, and then said to Lu Weng very proudly, "This is An'er's name, grandpa, yours is a painting~" Lu Weng did not Angry, he took a closer look and found that the eldest grandson wrote a simpler script than the current Wei script, with flat, wide and straight characters.
Could it be the words used by immortals?It doesn't make sense, immortals live the same life as the sky, the writing should be more complicated and magnificent, how can it be so simple?Lu Weng thought for a while, and then felt that he seemed to have seen this font somewhere... But let's put this aside for now, the eldest grandson can write a few characters and doesn't want to learn Weiguo characters, how can this work?
Words are the foundation of a country. Wouldn't it be a joke if one's own family didn't know their own words?Before that, Wei Guo had a trouble because of Wei Guo's forced promotion of its characters, but it was a pity that it was suppressed, but which one of the Wei people can write two sets of characters?
In Lv Weng's eyes, if young children do not learn Wei characters, they are forgetting their roots, which is absolutely unacceptable.However, the eldest grandson is now the baby of the family, the old wife and daughter-in-law are very close, Lu Weng also loves him very much, and he is not willing to scold him too much. After thinking for a long time, he still agrees to his grandson to grow rice at the door in exchange Here comes Xiao Langjun's promise to learn Wei characters with his mouth pouted.
Then he exchanged his help with digging and irrigation in exchange for his grandson's promise to practice calligraphy and endorsement every day.
Just as he was about to exchange the seeds for something, he found his grandson holding the previous bag of rice and looking at him vigilantly.
Cough cough, Lu Weng immediately coughed dryly, swallowed back what he hadn't said yet, and restored his previous kind image of Weng, he said that of course A Weng would not do anything to steal your rice, come here, my good grandson , Aye taught you to write a letter to Daddy!
Half a month later, Lu Buwei, who is located in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, received a letter from his family. He was taken aback after reading the scroll. The words on the bamboo scroll were very immature, not written by his father. He only started to read the content on the second glance. , The more I read, the more amazed that my son has recovered from his illness, and he has also recovered to the point where he can write to him. Although it is only a few words, it is enough to make people gratified.
The man who has been haggard because of a sudden thought these days squeezed the bamboo scroll sent by his son. He stretched out his fingers and touched the ink stains on it. It was written by a novice. Only through this, he can think of the appearance of the little fat boy at home who is struggling to use a pen.
Lu Buwei has not returned home for two years, and he does not know the specific recovery of his son. In addition, the family has been telling him about taking medicine. He only thinks that his son has gone through a long recovery, so reading this letter is not too much. Overwhelmed.
He quickly re-rolled it, and opened his father's one again, and his brows were furrowed when he saw it.
The letter written by his father is obviously not very important to others, but in his opinion, every word and every word in it is very sensitive.
——The new policy of the Wei State wants to suppress business.
Not good news for their family.
Although Lu Buwei is a native of Wei, his long-term business scope is not between Wei and Wei, but to Qi and Zhao, which are farther away. Although Qi and Zhao are neighbors, they are also sworn enemies. In ancient times, the merchants who saw each other were not so pleasing to the eye, and it would be difficult for them to do business daily. As a defender of the country, Lu Buwei was relatively able to enjoy both sides. Stepped out of a business path.Once the business path has been established, it is natural to find a way to develop to the high end.
The state of Zhao has been established for many years, but the treasury will inevitably be empty during the long-term war with other countries, and the domestic economic environment is also tense. Under such circumstances, it is much more reliable to open the way with gold and silver than with feelings. The earthy recipe begins to climb up from the end of the banquet.
He is also a scholar and a businessman. An elegant and rich businessman is very happy at a banquet. There are many people in this world who hug their own sunset Yu Xun to save face, and face is something that needs some confidence. He Just can give this part of the confidence.
Lu Buwei has traveled a lot and is well-informed. He is generous and good at flattering and praising others. Coupled with his loyalty, he gradually has a few small circles around him. He also gradually gained a reputation in the aristocratic circle of Zhao State. The seats at the table were getting higher and higher, and finally he was lucky enough to participate in a higher-level banquet, where he met a person.
Qin Guo was sent to Zhao Guo as a hostage, the unfavored concubine son of the current Prince Qin, Ying Yiren.
Being a hostage in a foreign country is not always easy, not to mention that Qin and Zhao are warring countries. When they met for the first time, Zhao had the upper hand between the two countries, so Ying Yi was ridiculed miserably, and After a period of time, the Qin State gained the upper hand again, and the foreigner became the object of ridicule by these young princes and grandchildren.Lu Buwei observed carefully, and he found that Yiren was very interesting, and he was very good at forbearance.
Whether he is being laughed at or scolded by others, he always maintains a submissive attitude. This appearance naturally quickly makes the princes and grandchildren bored. If Lu Buwei hadn't been watching closely, he really wouldn't have found a little stubbornness in this person's bones.This person is like rush grass, it seems that it can be easily overwhelmed, but it is very difficult to break him.
No matter how tortured he was the day before, he would still show up the next day whenever there was a banquet.
interesting.
is a person.
can make friends.
He made such a judgment.
But out of caution, he inquired about this Qin Yiren in the social circle, and the conclusions he got were similar—bastard son, mother was not favored, was sent to Qin by his father, had difficulty living without financial support, and couldn’t get enough to eat. The superposition constitutes a poor foreign proton, a proton who is obviously sent by a powerful country but can bully at will and no one will stand up for him.
Lu Buwei knows very well that such a person lives in despair and suffering for a long time, and there are too few opportunities for him to choose in his life, so once he sees a straw, he will hold on to it.
He wanted to be this straw, because he saw infinite possibilities from the alien.
This possibility really moved him, and before that he was hesitant to step into this muddy water, but now, it seemed that he was given this excuse somewhere.
God gives it, if you don't take it, you will be disgusted by God.
The man rolled up the bamboo scroll with one hand, and he stood up abruptly. He wanted to go home, and he wanted to discuss this matter with his father face to face.
He is ready to use all of his own as a bet to bet on this monstrous fortune.
But before going home...why did his father ask him to go all the way to buy a piglet and go home?
Although he wants to go home, he still needs to maintain his network in Zhao State, and he needs to worry about all the arrangements after he leaves. Therefore, it will be two months before Lu Buwei really enters the border of Wei State.
It is said that it is the border of the country, but it is actually the edge of the city-state. After all, there is only one city left in Weiguo itself. He drove the ox cart all the way forward, while sitting on the shaft of the cart and paying attention to the chatter of the people around him. skills derived from time to time.
The most expensive goods must be what the king needs, but the best-selling goods must be what the people are talking about.This is also the skill by which he was able to accumulate a large amount of money in such a short period of time.However, after listening for a long time, he was surprised to find that the people of Weiguo had only one topic of chatting - farming.
Along the way, the keywords he heard were all seedling raising, ridge field, composting, irrigation, cold field and warm field and so on.
Some of these nouns are familiar to him and some are unfamiliar to him, but the most mentioned one is the Lu family.
Lu Buwei's family is actually surnamed Jiang, and his family is believed to be after Jiang Shang, the founding father of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu is their family's clan name. However, because Lu Buwei was in business, most outsiders call his family by his surname instead of his name.
So this Lu family should indeed belong to their family.
what happened?Lu Buwei was a little flustered. Just as he was about to walk to the door of his house, he suddenly saw an old man and a young man who were picking up guests at the door.
The old man was stroking his beard and laughing, talking and laughing with the visitor. With the other hand, he was holding a young child who could not reach his waist. The child was wearing a small braid, with a white and round face, plump cheeks, and looked chubby Extremely cute, with big black eyes and extremely agile, he was staring at the horse led by the guest and thinking about something, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, Lu Buwei felt that the child's gaze fell on the underbelly of the horse...
It should be because of my wrong angle!How could such a young child care about this?
Just as he was thinking about the traces of shame for himself, he suddenly met the child's eyes, Lu Buwei stopped thinking about it, he hurriedly got off the bullock cart and walked quickly, "Father! The child is back!"
After some fuss, the visiting guests greeted him and said they would visit another day, and they were considerate enough to leave room for the reunited Lu family.Lu Weng and Lu Buwei both came to hug their son and cried. Mrs. Lu also cried when she saw her husband who had not returned for a long time. The family surrounded Lu Buwei and entered the house, completely forgetting the goods he brought back. outside.
The forgotten little Douding looked back at the unreliable adults, and had no choice but to prop up the scene at this moment and wave people and the several carts of goods he brought back into Lu's house.But not long after the door closed, Lu Buwei's status dropped immediately.Because Lu Buwei brought back a lot of goods this time, the two hostesses of the Lu family and their son/husband had to focus on these things after reminiscing about the past, especially the piglets and lambs brought back by Lu Buwei, and the two pigs. Calves are even more important.
In farming society, the value of a cow is no less than the combination of a BMW and a tractor. For an ordinary family, the value of an adult cow is almost equivalent to the status of vehicles such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz in modern society.Although it will not be bankrupt, it will take several years to save up without eating or drinking before buying one.
The price of calves is slightly lower, but these are two calves. As long as they can be raised, they are very good whether they are used at home or sold.There were so many livestock coming all at once, and all the cubs couldn't fit in the cages, so they had to find someone to build animal sheds quickly.
Father Lu focused all his attention on the box of treasures brought back by Lu Buwei.
Before that, Lu Buwei traveled to various countries many times for business, and even went to war zones many times. This kind of utensils that cannot be eaten or used are completely worthless when they are about to survive. This is the case with food and antiques in troubled times. Lu Buwei used some means to collect various There are few cultural relics and antiques, he has no plan to collect them himself, and treasures are hot, these are the stones for him to open up his relationship network in the future.
Although he has done some research on this, his father has been deeply immersed in this way. This time he brought all of them back to ask his father to hold his eyes.Unexpectedly, as soon as his father saw him open the box, he didn't even bother to talk to him, and immediately picked up a few rolls of bamboo slips and hurried back to the room.He was obviously a wanderer who hadn't returned for many years, but now he was standing alone in the courtyard.Lu Buwei felt a little helpless, he shook his head and chuckled, and was about to call his servants to boil water for him, when he saw his short and sturdy son standing in front of him at some point.
It was at such a stop that Lu Buwei discovered that the child's facial features had completely absorbed the advantages of him and his wife, especially his pair of eyes, which looked very much like his wife, watery and round, as clear as a bright stream, with eyelashes flickering. Blink and blink, it is as lively as a clear spring.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it is completely fine?
...Why is it so short?Zhao Guo's five-year-old child is half a head taller than his own son. Could it be because of taking medicine for a long time?
Then he saw his son sized him up for a while and then suddenly raised his hand to him.
Lu Buwei was a little puzzled at first, and then he heard the young man's milky voice say to him angrily, "Hold hands."
For a moment, for some reason, Lu Buwei felt his heart was suddenly hit, and he felt a little flattered at the moment. When he carefully held his son's chubby little hand, he felt his heart soften. Immediately after being held by his hand, he was obedient and came to his side.At this moment, Lu Buwei felt that if his son told him that he wanted to pick the stars, he would think of a way.
But Lu Xiaoan didn't want Xing Xing, he thought his father was smelly, and wanted him to clean up for nothing, so Lu Buwei was taken by his son to take a bath as soon as he got home.
That's right, Lu Buwei would never have imagined that his five-year-old boy would command the servants to prepare for the bath, and even be so intimate that he forced himself into the bathtub, soaking with his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. piece.
The bathtub that the Lu family uses now is very special. It looks like an ordinary wooden basin, but an iron cylinder is inserted in it. At first, Lu Buwei didn't understand what it was. After putting firewood and hay on the fire and starting the fire, it suddenly dawned on me: "Is this something that keeps the water from cooling down?"
The young gentleman of the Lu family nodded. After confirming that the iron cylinder was hot, he ran to the other end of the iron bucket by stepping on the water in the tub, and then said to his father who had washed the dust off his body, "Father, sit over there. It's warm there."
Lu Buwei is a little strange, he wanders among nobles all the year round, and naturally he is sometimes stayed overnight when he is drunk, but he can say with certainty that no matter which master's house has such a bathing method nowadays.If you want to take a bath, there will be attendants who will continue to heat the water in the water. Although the water temperature can be maintained, it will naturally cause the water flow in the bucket to oscillate, and you will be frequently disturbed.
He did hear that a craftsman in the palace had made a design that could boil water outside the house and continuously send hot water into the pool through pipes. No outsiders would disturb Wang during the bath, but the cost was far more than a word, and now the same The effect can be achieved with an iron bucket.
He fiddled and observed for a while, and quickly figured out the reason.
This iron bucket is inserted in the water, as long as there is fuel, there is no need for others to add water, and there is no need to worry about the water getting cold, and the temperature can be adjusted by opening and closing the small opening at the top.
Lu Buwei immediately thought of the great benefits of this thing in a flash of thought,
Bathing is extremely important, but if you are not careful while bathing, you will easily catch wind and cold, so many people who are not so rich will try to reduce the number of baths in winter, but if you do not bathe for a long time, you will have bad smell. It was extremely rude.
As far as he knows, there are not a few people who have this distress.He can fully imagine how popular this thing will be if the cost is not high and ordinary people can afford it.
But at this moment, his son was sitting opposite him, and his short legs were paddling in the bathtub. Lu Buwei could feel that his son was observing him, so he suppressed this idea first, and prepared to communicate with his son first.
"An'er..."
"Aye said Father is a great businessman, right?"
Lu Buwei didn't feel annoyed when the words he was about to say were interrupted, and after listening to his son's words, he knew that this was the father's image of himself in front of the young son. However, he felt that his father's words to the child were too exaggerated. I'm afraid I'm going to be extremely disappointed if I go down one way.
He was so good-tempered that he shook his head, "It's just an ordinary merchant...how can it be so extraordinary."
"An'er heard that his father was in the business world, so he put righteousness first and did not cheat. People who have done business with my father praised his kindness, and they have all become friends of my father," Lu An's small head said. Off to the side, "Turning an enemy into a friend, An'er thinks this is very remarkable."
Lu Buwei laughed out loud when he heard the words. Seeing that the boy's black hair was already wet with water, he waved for his son to come over. Xiao Douding didn't care at all that this was actually the first time the father and son met, so he didn't recognize him so much that he came over. Lu Buwei stretched out his hand and hugged the little chubby boy at home, then he took the handkerchief on the side and tied it on his son's hair, and after wrapping all his son's black hair in the cloth towel, he took a soap stone and rubbed it for his son Taking a bath, this was the first time he did it. He was cautious at first, but later he found that his son was really good-tempered, and he would frown when he was in pain, so he gradually let go of his hand, and soon he looked good. "I can't talk about enemies at all. How can I turn an enemy into a friend? It's too exaggerated."
Unexpectedly, the child in his arms nodded with a profound expression, "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, An'er understands."
...Where did this saying come from?
Lu Buwei raised his eyebrows, and wanted to ask carefully, but seeing the child's whole body was rubbed red, and seeing the water temperature gradually rising, he was really not sure how the child would feel, so he wanted to hug his son and get up. The child suppressed it seriously, and the youngest son firmly stated that he would give him a bath, and he said that a man's relationship is sublimated in the bath and the wine table, and the set of rhetoric made Lu Buwei so dumbfounded that he could only recite it. Turning around to enjoy a scrubbing bath that my son loves.
Let's not talk about how it feels, but from the child's panting appearance, Lu Buwei can feel that his son is working very hard to connect with him.
People's feelings are mutual. Lu Buwei's feelings for this son are not very deep. When the child was just born, he was in an important period of life. When he later found out that the child had dementia, he was also doing business outside. Although he was depressed after the news, but because he was too busy, when he recovered later, he found that he had calmed down unconsciously.
Later, even though he did his best to treat the child, he never let go of seeking medical advice, medicine, and money to return home, but he was just doing his duty.
In the end, everything left only the word responsibility, which was already extremely cold, so after receiving the letter from his father that the eldest son recovered, he was just stunned until he saw the child standing in front of him alive and kicking.The moment the child looked over, the feeling of the same blood was clamoring.
This feeling is extremely subtle, making him feel that he really likes this child at that moment.
——And this father-son relationship encountered a challenge that night. When Lu Buwei wanted to go back to his room to rest after a busy day, he suddenly heard his son whispering to his wife in his room: "Mom, I think I quite like Father. Otherwise, let's try again and see if we can get along with Father. If it doesn't work, you can separate from Father and An'er will take care of you!"
Brat!
Lu Buwei's good self-cultivation disappeared at this moment. He entered the room with a ferocious smile, picked up the little fat man with a shocked expression on his knees, and slapped his round buttocks twice.
Little Lu An has been held in the hands of the whole family since he woke up, not to mention spanking, he didn't even pinch his face.
When he was hit suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react. After a while, the chubby face immediately wrinkled.
But the child didn't cry. After being put down by his father, he silently crawled to the corner of the bed, sat down at the farthest distance from Lu Buwei, faced the wall with his little butt facing him, and used the most clear body movements Said - ignore daddy.
Lu Buwei felt a little regretful when he attacked rashly, so he only slapped him twice and let it go lightly. Now that the slight anger before seeing the child like this has completely dissipated, now he just feels dumbfounded.
Seeing that his wife kept giving him winks, and hearing the little fat boy say that he likes him just now, in short, there were a million mixed feelings in his heart, and finally all softened into one.
He stretched out his hand to poke his son's round buttocks, the child flinched, ignored him, poked the little shoulder, the child suddenly shrugged.Lu Buwei suddenly had a bad taste, poked the right side, the child turned left, poked the left side, the child turned right, anyway, he was very angry, and he ignored it.
He blinked, stretched out two hands under his wife's helpless gaze, and poked the little fat baby's waist from left to right.
Mrs. Lu watched her husband and their five-year-old child quarrel and roll around on the floor, forcing her energetic son to lie on the couch and yawn. She could only smile and shake her head, "Husband, this If you want to make trouble with him, I'm afraid An'er will wet the bed at night."
Lu Buwei froze, his expression was quite deep, he looked at his son who was about to fall asleep with his belly puffed out, hesitated for a long time between taking the little fat baby out to sleep and cultivating the relationship between father and son, sighed "If An'er really ...Yes, it’s for my husband.”
Mrs. Lu glanced at him, but said nothing.
Then at night, she was not surprised to see Qiqi's snoring husband and son. She tried to poke her husband, and she was not surprised to see Lu Buwei turn around on the bed, scratching the quilt Where she poked, but after a while, the cry came again.
Oh man.
But on this point, the father and son did not admit it the next morning.
Lu Xiaoan straightened his body firmly and said that it is impossible for me to wet the bed.
Lu Buwei also straightened his back and said that it is impossible for me to wake up. He also glanced at his son and said: "Since An'er didn't wet the bed, it is even more impossible for me to wake up."
Lu Xiaoan also immediately got to this point: "Since Daddy was not woken up by being woken up, then An'er definitely didn't wet the bed!"
Yes, for the sake of their own dignity, the father and son firmly stood on the same front, and they showed righteous expressions in front of Mrs. Lu who was a little black and blue.
Mrs. Lu's gaze turned to the quilt which was basking in the sun, then at her son's changed clothes, then at her energetic husband, and finally she laughed and said nothing.
After breakfast, Lu Buwei straightened his clothes and stepped into his father's study with a solemn face. Lu Weng had been waiting for him for a long time.The father and son looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding.
Lu Weng was in the upper position. He looked at his prostrating son and was silent for a long time. Just now, his child told him an extremely risky thing. He planned to use people as commodities and bet all of the Lu family's wealth in a game. Gambling like never before.
If he wins, there will be a lot of prosperity and wealth to change his family, riches and honors. If he loses, it will not be as simple as the head falling to the ground, and the entire Lu family will be reduced to dust.
And most importantly, this move means that the Lu family will stand in line and vote for Qin.
Now that Qin and Zhao are fighting against each other, this move is not risky. According to his son, he just wants to seize the situation when the situation between Qin and Zhao is unknown and put down the bet. Only by sending warmth from the inside can this son remember him forever.
In the past, he might not agree to such a risky thing.
just now...
He slowly took out a roll of bamboo, unfolded it and placed it in front of his son, "My son, let's see if this word contains Qin Feng."
Lu Buwei: Why did you suddenly study calligraphy when you were talking about serious things? ? ? ?
