The prefect at that time was apparently transferred from the capital to Yong'an City. In fact, he was actually a bit like an imperial envoy. Although he was transferred to Yong'an City as the prefect, his real mission was to investigate the illicit salt case in Yong'an City.
Will be transferred back to Beijing.
Lu Tongpan was one of the insiders and the right-hand man of the imperial envoy. His transfer to Yong'an City was also their intention.
The birthday party for Erbao's second birthday was obviously a birthday party, but it was actually a way to lure a snake out of its hole.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong. One of Lu Tongfen's cronies betrayed him and used Er Bao's life to threaten the prefect Lu Tongfen to release the mastermind of the salt smuggling case.
The result...just look at the current Erbao. Lu Tongpan did not compromise and the mastermind was caught, but the Erbao also...
Magistrate Lu Tong was supposed to be promoted to a capital official, but because of the incident with Er Bao, he felt guilty and had been serving as magistrate of Yong'an City for more than seven years.
Erbao was still young when he passed away and didn't understand anything.
But now nearly seven years have passed. Erbao's soul has not yet entered the underworld, so he will not continue to grow up, but his IQ has matured a lot.
Floating in Lu Mansion all day long, his father who doted on him the most back then was naturally the person he liked to visit secretly. No, he accidentally found out that his own death could be considered to be caused by his own father.
.
Alas~
It’s nothing.
Mrs. Lu, who had a headache, appeared mysteriously again and brought Qi Bao'er into her room, where a chessboard was already placed on the couch.
"Can Miss Bao know how to play chess?" As a young master, he should be able to do everything.
Qi Baoer was startled for a moment. He didn't expect the old lady to invite him in to play chess, and thought she was going to say something.
"I know a little."
The old lady immediately became happy and slapped her thigh, "What a coincidence, I only know a little bit."
So, the old and the young, both of whom knew little, started to ‘fight’ on the chessboard.
They really only knew a little bit. Two novices pecked each other. You had to respect the elder and gave one piece to regret, and you had to love the young and gave two pieces to regret. They played a game of chess for a whole afternoon.
From the beginning of the friendly exchange between the two parties, friendship came first and competition came second. Later, Aunt Chun, who was just watching the fun, had to stand in the middle and be ready to take action at all times to prevent the old and the young from scratching each other.
Miraculously, when the maid next to Mrs. Lu came to invite them to dinner, as soon as the chess pieces were put down in their hands, the old man and the young man immediately returned to the calmness of an old man and the cuteness of a child.
Aunt Chun: "..."
Disrespectful, disrespectful.
Master Lu Tong had been huddled in the guest room where Qi Bao'er took his lunch break all afternoon. Now he came out. Although his face didn't seem to have changed much, he still looked like Master Lu with his elegant temperament.
However, Qi Baoer noticed that his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there was a medicinal smell on his body. He should have applied medicine to his eyes.
The two protagonists behind the screen in the morning also came.
No one else from the Lu family came for dinner. Mrs. Lu and Qi Baoer explained that Mr. Lu was not in Yong'an City. The eldest grandson was sick and had a fever so he didn't come out. The second grandson was not yet one month old. The twins born to Mrs. Lu
I just returned to school today.
The most famous Qixing Academy in Yong'an City is a semi-closed boarding school that begins enrolling children when they are three years old.
To be honest, Mrs. Lu is not very good-looking, with a medium-sized figure and a bit fat, but she has a calm and peaceful temperament about her that makes people feel very comfortable when they look at her.
If Mrs. Lu’s appearance is rated sixty points, Mrs. Lu’s appearance can be rated eighty points.
But, how should I put it, Qi Baoer saw the three words "White Lotus" on her body.
She sat with her eyebrows lowered and looked timid to everyone. From time to time she covered her lips and coughed lightly, which showed that she was not feeling well at the moment.
The peach blossom eyes are raised at the end, with a faint pink tint at the end. If you look at you timidly, oh, anyone who thinks he is a man probably can't stand it.
Qi Baoer glanced at the protagonist who was paying attention to her from time to time. He didn't seem to be a man. His flirtatious looks were all in vain, and he didn't care at all.
Qi Bao'er didn't believe it if he said he hadn't discovered it. How could he not be vigilant even though he was judged openly?
She looked at Yuanshi again.
Yuanshi had a forced smile on her face.
Qi Baoer: "..."
She felt some inexplicable sympathy for Lu Tongju. Just when everyone was sitting down, such a big drama had already been staged.
Lu Tongpan didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be naive. He seemed not to notice the dispute between his wife and daughter-in-law during the whole process. He was either picking up food for his mother and Qi Bao'er, or occasionally asking Da Ling to understand the book he read in the afternoon.
How much.
The Lu family is very particular about eating and sleeping without talking. Lu Tongpan saw Lao Qi's family having dinner when he went to pick up Qi Bao's son, and knew that their dinner table was lively, so he occasionally chatted with Da Li.
The reason why he didn't talk to Qi Bao'er was because he was embarrassed that afternoon. He didn't believe that no one outside could hear what he was doing in the room. The grown man was actually crying. He really had no face to face Miss Bao'er.
There was also an episode during dinner. The stewed goose with wild ginseng was placed in front of Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu kept hesitating and looked at Mrs. Lu, then at the stewed goose, then at Mrs. Lu, and then at Mrs. Lu.
Stewed goose.
Her reaction not only caused Lu Tongpan and Mrs. Lu to look at her frequently, but also Qi Baoer and Da Li were both curious about what she wanted to do.
The only one who remained calm was Mrs. Lu, who sat quietly eating and drinking, completely ignoring Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu felt it was too embarrassing, so she asked Aunt Chun to fill a bowl of goose soup for Mrs. Lu.
Ordinarily this matter should be over by now.
But Mrs. Lu didn't want to do it. After taking the soup, she burst into tears while drinking it. She looked aggrieved. If Qi Bao'er and Da Li hadn't been watching the whole process, Bu Ding would have thought it was a quick glance.
This family is abusing her.
Mrs. Lu's face turned cold, Lu Tongju's face darkened, and Mrs. Lu smiled.
Qi Bao'er and Dali looked at each other, and they both speeded up the cooking process.
One night passed, and early the next morning, before the city gate opened at five o'clock, the brother and sister were already well prepared to escape.
The old lady was so reluctant to let go, she was really crying while holding the precious baby.
Lu Tongpan's mouth twitched when he saw it, but in just one night, how could Mom and Miss Bao have such a deep relationship?
The other contacts were not long enough to comment on, but Mrs. Lu's human relations were really nothing to say. Knowing that the brother and sister were going back today, she had already gotten up and personally prepared the gifts when it was still dark in the morning.
None of them are precious things, they are just rice, noodles, meat, tea, etc. that relatives usually exchange.
As long as you are not a greedy person, you will immediately have a good impression of Lu Fu after seeing such a gift.
Before the brothers and sisters set off, Lu Tongpan handed Qi Baoer a thousand taels of silver. The man was still cautious and did not say it was a reward, but money to buy amulets.
Qi Bao'er left two talismans for Mrs. Lu, one was a soul-nurturing talisman that could temporarily keep Er Bao there, and the other was a house-keeping talisman that kept the family safe.
This is a good thing. Lu Tongpan feels that he has taken a big advantage by only taking one thousand taels, but unfortunately he can only take out so much now.
Lu Tongjian only took leave until yesterday, and had to go back to work early in the morning. It was inconvenient for Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, so the father and son each sent their close associates to see him off.
The carriage slowly left the Road Mansion, and the brother and sister ended their first trip to the Road Mansion.
