Chapter 63

Since then, Lu You's daily life has changed significantly again.

Every morning, he would still pretend to be King Xuan and go to Hongwen Hall to study.At noon, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to show my face; after lunch break, I went to Hanlu Palace, and Tang Ruilang accompanied Zhao Rongze, the son of Prince Duan.

As discussed before, he began to seriously teach Zhao Rongze to read and write.

This Duan Wang Shizi is indeed an intelligent and studious child, an ordinary child of six or seven years old can only read more than ten words a day.However, Zhao Rongze was able to learn more than forty characters, and he took the test again the next day, but he did not forget a single word.

Occasionally, when you have nothing to do, Lu You and Tang Ruilang would sit and talk under the ginkgo tree, while Rong Ze quietly watched.

In the courtyard, the forest is deep and the spring is secluded, the flowers and plants are clear and fragrant, the birds are chirping and the fish are chattering in the ears, it really seems to be in a paradise.

When the sun was setting, Tang Ruilang left the palace, and Lu You returned to the Lizao Hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report to Changqiu Duke Qi Yunchu what he had seen and heard that day.After dinner, meet Master Hongqu on the Moon Shadow Terrace.

As if the ripples had returned to stability, life was turbulent again, but there was always a dark knot hidden in Lu You's heart.

From the second day after he left Liuquan City, the little eunuch Zhou Zong had fulfilled his duties——began to send back the news that Lu You wanted to know.

Liuquan City was still calm, and the Qin family seemed to have nothing unusual.However, the whereabouts of the ghost army witch doctor outside the city became more and more strange, and even had several conflicts with the surrounding medicine growers.

As for Ye Yueshan, Zhou Zong still doesn't know of her existence.And in the family letter that Ye Yueshan sent every ten days, she kept silent about any difficulties as always.

This kind of inseparable connection did not eliminate Lu You's inner anxiety, but instead inspired another kind of desire hidden in his heart.

He wants to create a home for Ye Yueshan, a destination that can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also forget thousands of worries.

Almost all of the savings of the year since entering the palace, as well as the money that Tang Ruilang sent intermittently, stayed in Liuquan City.Fortunately, for the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not difficult to accumulate sand to form a tower.

The salary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is meager, and many eunuchs spend their entire lives in poverty.However, there are also many high-ranking eunuchs who own a large number of fields and shops outside the palace, and the people under them even run casinos and brothels, so the wealth is naturally rolling in.

Lu You usually kept his ears to the outside world, so naturally he knew nothing about these means of making money.But he knew someone who might be able to give some pointers.

Mu Yuan was the eunuch who was slapped by Lu You in the garden of Qi's family back then.He was originally a regular servant of the Palace Bureau under Qi Yunchu's subordinates, and he was also probably the richest person in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Lu You tested his idea with him, originally he just wanted to learn some ways to make money, but after a few days, Mu Yuan actually gave him a land deed.

It is a small house located in the northeast corner of Kaiming Square outside the south of the city. It is said that it was originally the residence of a low-level official named Chen during the reign of the first emperor.After the death of the official, the family fortune fell, and the children and grandchildren did not keep enough, and soon owed a lot of debts.

Ten years ago, in order to repay the arrears, the Chen family demolished several houses, built small courtyards, and leveled out several vegetable fields, which can be regarded as self-sufficient.

However, just a few days ago, the owner of this house died of a serious illness, leaving behind a pair of children.The family thought about selling the mansion and taking the money to go back to their hometown to live.Somehow, the land deed fell into Mu Yuan's hands.

Having seen a lot of the world in the palace, Lu You understood that in Mu Yuan's eyes, this mansion was nothing more than a plaything for children.But he still took it, and took advantage of the ten-day holiday to go to Kaimingfang to take a look.

Kaimingfang was almost deserted, and the mansion was even older than he imagined.After entering the courtyard a few times back and forth, his mouth was open in darkness, like an old man on the verge of decay.

What surprised him even more was that although the land deed had been sold, the original members of the Chen family had not had time to leave.

It was a pair of brothers and sisters who were about the same age as him, dressed in rough clothes, with only an old mother by their side, but their eyes were clear and bright.As soon as they heard about Lu You's intentions, they immediately showed panicked expressions on their faces.

The scene in front of him seemed to overlap with the past, and Lu You felt sore in his heart.After thinking for a while, he said to his brother and sister, if they don't want to leave, it's fine to stay here.His brother and sister are still in charge of the mansion, and they don't have to pay rent, but they have to do something for him.

Anyway, after leaving the capital, we still need to make a living. When the brothers and sisters heard about it, they said "yes" again and again.

Lu You didn't have any clues for the time being, so he looked around inside and outside the mansion, and then went out to Lu Ying'er's house in Dayefang next door.

He entered the door and told Lu Ying'er and his wife about this matter. Originally, he wanted to find ginseng for details, but Zhu Zhu'er patted his thigh and jumped up.

"It's just a coincidence that we are also looking for land here!"

It turned out that although Lu Ying'er and his wife were making a living as knives, they had to go down to pick people every now and then, so they also brought some goods back to Zhaojing along the way.Especially for the large amount of medicinal materials needed for body purification, the shops in the city charge a lot of money and the supply is insufficient. Even if the internal servants save the money, Lu Yinger and his wife can get very little profit.Therefore, they prefer to purchase in other places—especially Liuquan City where the Medicine King Institute is located, where there are many medicine gardens and fierce competition among medicine shops, so the prices are naturally much cheaper than those in the capital.

However, during the recent period, Liuquan City's medicinal materials business has encountered a monopoly, many shops have closed down, the medicinal garden has been abandoned, and the price of medicinal materials has risen.Lu Ying'er and his wife were the ones who had to buy it, and after being taken advantage of several times, they naturally complained endlessly, and even thought of finding a place to grow medicine by themselves.

Lu You sat down with the two of them and discussed it.It was quickly decided that Lu Ying'er and his wife would invite one or two bankrupt old medicine farmers in Liuquan City, and then hire a few helpers, and together with the brothers and sisters of the Chen family, they would reclaim the vegetable field behind the old house into a medicine garden.If there is any production in the future, Lu Ying'er and his wife will be allowed to use the medicinal materials first, and then do business with the rest, and Lu You will share the proceeds [-]%.

In this way, the Chen family medicine garden soon had a clue, and Lu You also had one more place to care about occasionally.

The fleeting time turns secretly, Xingshuang secretly changes, and before you know it, another year in the world.
