Cultivation Is Like This

  Chapter 172 Died before leaving the apprenticeship, the first emperor spent the budget

   That night, Lu Bei didn't go back to the Wei House, and went to the Zhu brothers' house to have dinner.

  Without him, let me figure it out, tonight the Weifu is in chaos, and there are iron cavalry fighting the portal.

   Seeing the partner come to pay New Year's greetings, the Zhu brothers greeted them with red envelopes, and the three of them went to Mingyuelou for a small gathering, and Lu Bei ate the long-lost authentic roast goose.

   I have no experience before, and I don’t know the cooking steps to make roast goose, so I can only get addicted to it. It's different now. I have rich cooking experience many times, and I am confident that I can reversely deduce the chef's production process based on the taste.

  …

  Yizhou, Nanyang County, Changming County.

  Changming House.

  Changming is the name of the county and the title of the eldest princess Zhu Qilan, who leads 3,000 households in the food town. . .

  Wu Zhou decree, unmarried and unmarried princesses do not enjoy food, and neither does the eldest princess. Zhu Qilan used to have a title without real income.

   But the emperor of the dynasty was very tolerant to his relatives, knowing that Zhu Qilan was far away in a foreign land, saying that he was a fief as the king was actually comparable to exile, so he won a lot of benefits for him after he ascended the throne, and the three thousand households in Shiyi were one of them.

   Originally, according to the emperor's intention, he was just such a real sister. The 3,000 households seem to be quite a lot, but the real title is only 300, and the 10,000 households are about the same, barely worthy of the noble status of the eldest princess.

   was rejected by the clan due to unreasonable laws and no precedent.

  The emperor expressed his understanding that there should be no precedent, but there is no precedent, which does not mean that there will be no future.

  As the boss of Wuzhou, he didn't want to be arbitrary, and he was willing to give face to the clan elders. He did not change the 3,000 households in the food town, and doubled the actual seal of 300 households, and led a total of 600 households.

  The two sides took a step back, and Zhu Qilan's worth was settled.

   In this way, the dividends of 600 households with taxation, corvée and servitude were not returned to the imperial court, but were all handed over to Changming Mansion, and the poor princess sister became a rich woman who did not worry about food and drink in seconds.

  Although she was not worried about food and drink before, she was the only one among the civil servants in Wuzhou who received the salary of the great commander of Emperor Jizong.

   At this moment, in front of the gate of Changming Mansion, a long dragon is lined up neatly. There are old, middle-aged and young people of all ages, but all of them are silk and satin, and their families are prominent.

   is about the location of the registration office. A young man put down the prayer note. The scribe in charge of the registration opened it and looked at it. He drew a sketch and then let someone pass the prayer note in.

  The young man looked forward to it, and only turned around and said goodbye to the rest until his salutation disappeared behind Xiao Qiang.

   "Young Master Zhao, are you here too?"

   "General Wang, Happy New Year!"

   "Seniors, I'm new here. I'm here to inquire. There is a sword of magic weapon, ten pairs of jade jade, fifty pearls, one hundred pieces of brocade and silk, and ten thousand taels of silver. Can you see the eldest princess?"

  You are driving up the market price!

   The crowd was stunned for a moment, then shook their heads and sneered.

   "Young man, from the country?

   "Hahaha, you don't even look at this place, you want to see the eldest princess with this little bit of money."

   "Save it, hurry up and put away the prayer posts, don't make yourself humiliated!"

   "Ah this..."

   The young man's face flushed red, he faltered and couldn't speak, and ran away amid the laughter of the onlookers.

  ┬┴┤;)

   In the corner of the wall, Lu Bei stopped to watch, and gulped.

  Poverty limited his imagination, and there was a certain misunderstanding of the word rich woman in the past.

I will not do it again!

   He touched his pocket, took out a palm-sized 12 taels of silver notes, struggled and stuffed it back into his sleeve. Taking a detour to the back door of the Princess Mansion, seeing the notice on the wall for recruiting handymen, I raised my hand and touched my chin.

  Two possibilities.

  The first type, considering that he is the eldest princess with a distinguished status, after he signed up, he was led into the door. In all likelihood, he would be tied up, and then an old man without a beard smiled and stepped forward with a knife.

  The second type, the low-level servants are all managed by military, because they are the eldest princess with a distinguished status, and there are four beautiful maids in the inner courtyard.

   "There's something going on!"

  Lu Bei nodded, choosing neither.

   He sensed it around and noticed that the backyard doorman was moving towards the hut with his trouser belt in hand. One of them took advantage of the booing to enter, jumped at the start, and easily climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.

  Shoo! xN

   Thirty-six soldiers in armor and armor stepped forward, neatly pulling out the long knife around their waists.

   is careless.

  Changming Mansion is guarded by a formation, and the shielding perception is also confusing. He did not check for a while, and turned directly into the illusion.

   As expected, the piercing siren outside had spread throughout the city.

   "He died before he left the apprenticeship, and the first emperor spent the budget..."

Lu Bei complained, avoiding the murderous intention in the phantom array, and walked towards the Shengmen position in a hurry: "I knew this would happen earlier, I should have bribed the accountant for ten taels of silver just now, this time I was stingy, and I won't next time. "

  Shoo! x3

   The front foot stepped out of the phantom formation, but the back foot hadn't come out yet, and there was another bright sword, light and sword shadow in front of Lu Bei's eyes.

   The difference is that this time the guards were three women, with indifferent faces and unsmiling expressions.

   "Girls, how good is it to dance with guns and sticks, swords and so on can easily hurt themselves."

  Lu Bei joked, seeing the unmoved light in the eyes of the three of them, he suddenly realized: "There are dead men in the family, cousin is very insecure!"

   "Who is coming?" the dead man asked.

   "If you don't change your name, don't change your surname, Ningzhou Ding Lei was invited to visit the eldest princess, and asked this sister to pass the message on her behalf."

  “Ningzhou…”

   The dead man frowned and pondered, one of them put away the long knife, and the other two guarded Lu Bei in place.

   After a while, the deceased brought back a young woman and pointed to Lu Beidao: "The housekeeper, this is the person who claimed to be from Ningzhou."

   The female housekeeper has a beautiful face and dazzling eyes. She is dressed in cyan satin, with a slender waist and tassels, and a wishful sachet is buckled.

   A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lu Bei for a while, and said in a voice like a spring: "Ningzhou Ding Lei has never heard of it, but Ningzhou Lu Bei has heard of it, dare to ask who is your Excellency?"

   "To be honest, Ningzhou Lubei, small character Ding Lei."

  Lu Bei explained that his identity was identified, so he simply stopped hiding it, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, revealing his original appearance.

"You are the one."

   The female housekeeper nodded and smiled, and said to the dead Shishi beside her: "This person is His Highness's guest, and the way to enter the door is the same as His Highness explained. Put away your weapons, don't neglect the guests."

  Lubei: (One`One)

   Make it clear, what is the way of entering the door and the explanation is the same, what else did Zhu Qilan maliciously slander?

   "Mr. Lu, please come with me. Your Highness is practicing in the quiet room, and I still need to inform you."

   The female housekeeper raised her hand and asked, and after walking a few steps, she met a maid and gave a few orders in her ear.

  Lu Bei's ears were sharp, and one of them accidentally listened to something 7788. The general idea was that the queue at the door was scattered. Today, she is unwell, and the dinner will be postponed to tomorrow, and it will be next time.

  Why are you eating with others?

  Lu Bei didn't understand and asked: "When we met for the first time, I dared to ask my sister's name."

   "Mr. Lu is very polite, I'm just a person, I can't bear the name of my sister."

  The housekeeper introduced herself, her surname was Ruan and her name was Bai Yu. She entered the palace as a maid when she was young and followed Zhu Qilan around. Later, he settled here with Zhu Qilan, and was deeply trusted. He was given the surname Zhu to manage the internal and external affairs of Changming Mansion.

   Entered the palace since childhood and followed Zhu Qilan for many years...

   It turned out to be Aunt Yu, so polite!

Lu Bei accurately captured the key words, raised his hand and arched: "It turned out to be Steward Yu, Sister Yu is polite, and the younger brother has another question. After listening to what Sister Yu said just now, after the group of lechers outside paid tribute, it was not my cousin who met them. , but you, Sister Yu?"

"cousin?"

   Now it was Butler Yu's turn, puzzled, and said, "Dare to ask Mr. Lu, who is the cousin you're talking about?"

   "It's your Highness!"

Lu Bei had an honest look on his face: "Last time, I said goodbye to my cousin. After I went back, I didn't think about eating and drinking, and I was shocked that my blood was calling. Taking advantage of the New Year's few days to visit relatives and friends, I finally found it among the relatives of Lao Zhu's family. Given the reason and rounding up, everyone is actually a family."

   Butler Yu: "…"

   Confirmed, it is this person, exactly as His Highness explained.

   "Sister Yu, it's your turn."

   "Did you not inquire about Mr. Lu before he came?"

Butler Yu chuckled: "A group of young heroes wanted to see His Highness's beauty, but she was so kind and could not bear to refuse, so I came forward. I am a weak woman, and I have chores in the house. They make three chapters of the law, and have lunch with the highest pilgrim person every day, and if there is someone with excellent character and talent, they will introduce him to His Highness."

   "Has anyone seen it?"

   "Every three or five months, when His Highness has nothing to do, he will pick someone who can fight." Butler Yu replied with a smile.

   "Wonderful!"

  Lu Bei said with admiration: "Cousin manages well and has made a lot of money over the years, which Lu admires."

   Butler Yu: "…"

   Curiously looked at the brazen Lu Bei and wondered why Zhu Qilan explained it alone. If this person comes to visit, he can take him in directly.

  Is it possible…

  His Royal Highness finally figured out, to choose a husband for himself?

  Probably not, the world is not without men, His Highness's vision is not so bad.

   After thinking about it, she thought it was Zhu Qilan's itchy hand, so she asked a sandbag to come to the door to discuss a thing or two.

  …

   In the Changming Mansion, Butler Yu led Lu Bei for a five-minute walk, first passing through the outer mansion, walking through the garden, and then entering the inner mansion.

   "Sir, wait a moment, I'll go and invite Your Highness to come here." Butler Yu ordered his servants to serve fruit tea at the waterside pavilion and bowed to leave.

   "Bai Yu, this name, it is estimated that the eldest brother will like it very much."

   Speaking of Senior Brother, Lu Beishun glanced outside the waterside pavilion. Seeing the koi looking out, Aba Aba opened his mouth and shook his head in disappointment.

   It's a pity that you can't throw two shots in a pool of good water.

   After a while, Butler Yu came in a hurry and led Lu Bei towards the quiet room with a slightly anxious expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness will not be able to break through the realm with his luck, and there is a risk of demonic intrusion. She said that Mr. Lu can help overcome the difficulties..." Butler Yu spoke quickly, and when Lu Bei came to the door of the quiet room, he withdrew the defensive formation and led people in directly. .

   In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes slowly opened, and the female voice was slightly lazy and hoarse.

   "You figured it out?"

"Ok."
