Chapter 282: Encountering Jinling (Part II)

"My lord, please come in, the next official is Zhao Yuanjing, the secretary of the Secret Pavilion, and he is here to greet my lord. At this moment, a civil servant came over and bowed.

This civil official is about thirty, with white skin, wearing an eight-grade light red robe, looking capable and neat, without dragging mud and water.

Lu Gao was stunned, he was not without understanding the system of the Dacheng Dynasty.

The eight-rank official greeted, it was low, but it was the Secret Pavilion, which was an institution close to the emperor, and he couldn't guess Wang Hongyi's intentions for a while.

But the first thing is not this, there are public bathhouses, and of course there are small baths.

"Adults have a hard time, please take a shower to wash off the dust. He led into a small room with a small bath of white marble in the chalk and a carved ebony wardrobe around it.

There was also a three-legged round table, with some wine on it, and the two girls bowed and saluted, but they were waiting.

In other words, the sailors marched, the water storage in the ship was limited, and even the fresh water was one cup per person per day, and there were 10,000 more, the cabin was full, and he didn't take a bath for more than ten days, and his body was full of smells, and Lu Gao was not polite, so he went inside.

When she got inside, the girl pulled the bell, and in a moment, hot water gushed out of a pipe, steaming, and entered the pool, Lu Gao was surprised, and asked, "Why is this?"

A young girl said, "My lord, this is a stone fire (coal) boiling water from the outside, and it leads through the pipes to the pools. ”

One of them said, "The servant serves the lord to change his clothes!"

To others, it may be weird, but it is normal for Lu Gao, who is now under the service of two young girls, and walks into the pool after untying his clothes.

The girl held another plate, and in it was a poured glass of wine: "My lord, this is used to invigorate blood." ”

Lugao soaked in the hot water and drank another glass of wine, but thought to himself, "What a luxury!"

There was finally something in his heart, and as soon as Zhong was completely washed, he got up, and the two girls stepped forward with plates.

One plate is underwear, white underwear, shoes and socks, and the other is a green shirt with a heavy gold crown on it.

Looking at this situation, Lu Gao was a little confused again, the clothes were very ordinary, but the golden crown was not available for more than five grades.

After changing her clothes, putting on her shoes and socks, and putting on her golden crown, which was just the right size, the girl led her out again, and pushed open the door, and saw that there was a hall inside.

The hall is not big, and there is already a wine banquet and an incense case.

At this time, in addition to Zhao Yuanjing, there was a eunuch waiting, as soon as he saw the eunuch, Lu Gao was shocked, and before he could speak, he heard the eunuch automatically stand to the south of the incense case, his face was expressionless, and he stretched out his voice: "The holy decree has arrived!"

Lu Gao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "Minister Lu Gao respectfully listens to the holy oracle!"

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, the former Yan Youzhou Festival makes Lu Gao, resist the foreign race, can be called loyal, and even have a heart, grant the post of general to drive the captive, Xu commands the old department, give a mansion on Jinling West Street, read the beginning to Jinling, and the family has not yet met, the concession holiday is one month, no need to see the driver first, and reunite with the family, Qin this!"

After reciting the holy decree in his hand, the waiter, who was originally expressionless, smiled and said, "General Lu, accept the decree and thank you!"

"Minister Lu Gao, thank you Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live!" Lu Gao heard this, took the holy decree, knelt on the ground and shouted thanks.

"General Lu, the Sprinkle family is here to congratulate the general!" The chamberlain can't interfere in state affairs, so he can only say this.

The words of the chamberlain, Lu Gao couldn't tell how much was true or what was false for a while, he only looked grateful, and hurriedly said: "This is the emperor's great favor, and I also ask my father-in-law to return to His Majesty for Lu, just say Your Majesty's great kindness, Lu is grateful, and he will repay him for his efforts!"

"General Lu, don't worry, your words, the Sprinkle family will return to Your Majesty without a word. The chamberlain said, waving his hand: "The emperor's order is here, you must reply immediately, and the family will leave!"

Some soldiers wanted to go up and stuff money, but they were also refused, and they left in a blink of an eye.

"Xia Guan also congratulated the military gate. At this time, Zhao Yuanjing also came up and said: "The journey to the military gate is hard, please use some at the table, and the lower officials will give you some explanations!"

Lu Gao froze and said, "Please!"

At the table, there were plates on the table, but they were not too expensive, and the twelve-colored dishes were served.

Lu Gao knew that this person's banquet was not polite, so he kept using it, and when it was almost done, he raised his glass to the lord and said that it was over.

Zhao Yuanjing entered the Secret Pavilion, to talk about the rules and temperament, this has a catty, the meaning of "washing the dust" is included one by one, Zhao Yuanjing is just accompanying the guests, moving a few hoops, just watching, now that he sees the end, he ordered it to be taken down, and served tea again, and then said work

"The military gate may not be clear about the system of this dynasty, this dynasty has five people and one army, ten people and one fire, five fires and one team, two teams and one battalion, which is the same as the previous dynasty. ”

"Five battalions and one guard, five guards and one capital, three capitals and one house. ”

"The military gate is actually a military gate, the military system is 10,000, and it is three products, which is the highest military position of the permanent leader of this dynasty. ”

"This is the emperor's grace!" Hearing this, Lu Gao stood up and bowed to the holy decree.

"The military generals, all of them have to be counted, naturalized, and conferred on the military department, and the military gate can go back to visit first, and the official position, seal letter, and confession of the military gate itself will be sent to the house within three days, you are a military general of the third grade, and you can have a hundred soldiers!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanjing arched his hand: "The responsibility of the subordinate has been fulfilled, so I will leave." ”

After Zhao Yuan went away, Lu Gao, who was sent to the door, gradually faded his smile.

Don't have to see a driver first?

What exactly did the emperor think about himself?

As for not going to the barracks within a month, this is normal, Lu Gao has been prepared for a long time, and said that in fact, it is already a very great grace to be able to go five times and then receive the old department.

If ordinary generals get this holy decree, it will be too late to rejoice, but Lu Gao smashed every word of this holy decree, and his heart instantly turned a thousand times.

"Dashuai, everyone is gone, aren't we ...... , a pro-soldier came to inquire at this time.

When Lu Gao heard this, he was stunned and came to his senses.

The emperor has given a mansion, in fact, this mansion has been given a long time ago, and now it is only public, of course he moved there, but ............

"Remember, you are not allowed to be a handsome man in the future. Lu Gao waved his hand and said.

The pro-soldier was stunned: "Then we will ...... in the future"

"Call it a general or a military gate!" Lu Gao said casually, since he came to Jinling, he had to pay more attention to the words and deeds of himself and his subordinates, this is no longer Youzhou, no longer himself, and some titles that imply a sense of secession must be changed.

“...... , uh, Junmen, is it time to go to this new mansion, or ...... The villain heard that the old lady had been taken there. ”

"Let's go over now!" Lu Gao sighed, no matter what, it was a blessing to be reunited with his family.

Now I don't have much luggage, just some gold and silver.

Some of the other belongings were dedicated to the emperor, and some of them had already moved in, and they didn't have much on them.

When I went out, I found that the bathhouse was still going on, and after washing and inspecting, the Youzhou soldiers came out, wearing a brand new military uniform, but it was the number one of the Dacheng Imperial Court.

After a glance from afar, Lu Gao sighed, got into the carriage, and said, "Let's go to the mansion!"

These old departments will be renaturalized and reorganized by the Ministry of War within a month, and at this time, they have been unable to interfere, and they will only take their own soldiers and go to their homes.

The carriage recognized the way, and after half an hour, it came to a house on Jinling West Street.

The gate of this house is wide, there are two big stone lions in front of the door, and there is a plaque on the main gate, and the plaque has the words "Eici Lu Mansion".

The team measured the front door, and the people inside got the news.

Immediately, the main door opened, and the trembling old lady, as well as Lu Gao's wife, concubines, and children, all came out of it.

After a long absence, Lu Gao hurriedly saluted forward at this meeting.

The old lady pressed her excitement and looked at it, and saw that her son was indeed much thinner, and his face was a little pale, and her heart ached, and she almost burst into tears.

But he said, "My son, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." This text is provided by the Qihang Update Group

When you enter the door, you can see that there is a corridor in front of the inside, and several main houses are upper rooms, carved beams and painted buildings, and they enter the inner courtyard, and when they arrive in the inner courtyard, outsiders have gone out, and the old lady cried out: "My son, this time our family can finally be reunited." ”

Lu Gao knelt on the ground, tears flowed out, and said: "Mother, my son is incompetent, he didn't keep Youzhou, and he didn't keep the ancestral inheritance......"

"My son, my mother has heard about it, I don't blame you, and as long as you are here, the family business can always come again. ”

"Mother, my son understands, my mother can rest assured ......"

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand. The old lady sighed and turned to the others: "Don't you want to give your father a salute?"

Then the children came forward and bowed, "I have seen my father." ”

After making a fuss for a while, these people dispersed again, and the old lady, the wife, and Lu Gao entered the room to talk.

Lu Gao's wife, the eldest daughter of Taishou Wence, is gentle and virtuous, and has a good relationship after marriage.

At this time, the dust settled, and Lu Gao returned to his true colors, and said.

"Now our Lu family, when we go to the Dacheng Dynasty, the situation is different, first of all, the problem of the clan, there are 300 clansmen in the Lu family's five suits, and the whole clan has 2,000 people, how to settle it is a problem. ”

"Second, this time I brought 110,000 taels of silver, bringing together the original 270,000 taels, which is 380,000 taels, right?"

Lu's wife listened to it and said, "Yes, but when I get to Jinling, I need money for everything, and the silver flows out like water......

Lu Gaomu listened with a face and waved his hand: "That's what I'm going to say." ”

"We are no longer the Lu family in Youzhou, so many people are not resettled, they must buy land and buy real estate, and it is not good for so many people to gather together, I am a courtier, and I gather thousands of people to do nothing, which is too attention-grabbing. ”

"I mean, the clansmen outside the five costumes give some money to buy a house and land to settle down, and the emperor also has a will in this regard, and there is a division of land, which adds up to about the same. ”

"The five suits should also be separated, and each will lead a room, so that it will not be noticed. After a pause, Lu Gao asked, "Mother, what do you see?"

"What my son said is right, now at this time and that time, it is not good for so many people to gather together, and each house also has private money, you take the idea, and the placement is. The old lady said, "I have come forward to complain, but my son, how much money are you going to pay?"

"380,000 taels, I will pay 180,000 taels, and I can always settle up and down. Lu Gao said, seeing that his wife's face was a little bad, he sighed and said: "Don't be reluctant to pay money, this even includes the worship of the field, buying a field, buying a house and buying a cow, everything needs money, this is a necessary work." ”

"My family's 200,000 taels of silver, the first thing is to buy land, you can't buy more here, you can't exceed 3,000 acres, but you can buy some shops in Jinling, or buy a boat, you can do these things...... I can't put too much effort into it. ”

At this time, Lu's wife calmed down and said, "Husband, don't say it, I understand, you are a person who does big things, and you want to bring someone back to your hometown, I won't use family affairs to make trouble for you!"

Lu Gao nodded and smiled bitterly. (To be continued.)
