The sky was bright, and Xiang Wan, who hadn't closed his eyes almost all night, didn't have time to wash up, so he put on a fur coat and boarded the west-facing balcony on the second floor.From here you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire mansion, including the first flower garden that is now used as a training ground.

Today was the first time Lu Zhan taught Brother Rui as a master of martial arts. Although Xiang Wan had compromised yesterday, he was really worried.

The flower garden is not getting warmer now, and the overwintering flowers and trees have been moved into the greenhouse when winter comes. In addition, the servants cleaned up overnight yesterday, so the yard is very spacious.

Xiang Wan looked around hard, and through the reflection of the red lanterns in the yard, he could vaguely see two figures, one tall and one short, moving back and forth in the yard, apparently running.

Xiang Wan was surprised, he thought that Lu Zhan would at most ask Rui Ge to put on a few tea kung fu horse stances, and then make gestures and fists: martial arts masters in martial arts halls usually lead new apprentices like this, and usually The master watched from inside the house, while the apprentices practiced outside, and would punish those who had a bad temper, and those who did not stay up for ten and a half months would not formally teach martial arts.

It is true that in the past, when Lu Zhan was leading troops in the barracks, the rules were much stricter than Xiang Wan imagined, and the recruits brought out by him had to take off three layers of skin before they could go to the battlefield , That is the real licking of blood, life and death.

However, Brother Rui's situation is very different. He neither has the foundation of martial arts, nor does he need to go to the battlefield immediately to fight. The time left for him is calm, and the method naturally cannot be generalized.

Of course, there is another level. Brother Rui, as Xiang Wan's only younger brother, is likely to become Lu Zhan's brother-in-law in the future. Just because of this, it's too late for Lu Zhan to try to curry favor. How dare he let Brother Rui eat too much? It's a pain, if he criticizes himself in front of Xiang Wan, Lu Zhan won't be able to bear it and walk around.

Besides, looking at what Xiangwan and Xie meant, they didn't really want to send Brother Rui to join the army. Lu Zhan knew it well, so he wouldn't put in all his strength to practice, it was only for Rui Ge to strengthen his body.

Lu Zhan ran ahead, and Rui Ge followed behind. After running back and forth in the middle of the yard for about a dozen times, Rui Ge was already out of breath, so Lu Zhan had to ask him to stop first, and while leading him for a slow walk, taught him He adjusted his breathing slowly.

Lu Zhan knew that Brother Rui was poor, but he didn't expect him to be so weak. Even if Xiang Wan didn't tell him, he decided not to lure Rui to dream of being a general.Now I can only teach according to his aptitude, and I only hope that after a year or so, he will be strong and healthy, which can be regarded as living up to this master-student friendship.

Lu Zhan put away the sandbags for leggings that he had prepared in advance, and took Rui Ge back to the main room first.

It is said to be the main room, but it is actually a warm room where the gardeners rested, and it was refurbished overnight yesterday.Because Lu Zhan ordered that outsiders should not be disturbed during the martial arts practice this morning, the servants had to prepare hot water to warm on the dying stove.

Brother Rui made tea for Lu Zhan himself, and Lu Zhan accepted it graciously. Even if he didn't have the title of master and apprentice, he was more than ten years older than Brother Rui.

The master and apprentice were resting in the main room, but Xiang Wan was in a hurry. She couldn't see the figure in the flower garden for a long time, and she immediately lost her mind. Man was thoroughly offended.

In fact, after tossing and turning all night, Xiang Wan had figured it out: Since the matter didn't turn around, this Mr. Lu didn't seem to have any sinister intentions, and he had to come forward to reconcile this matter. Who would let someone hold his only seedling in his hand? .

Gritting her teeth, Xiang Wan decided to go over and take a look as soon as possible.Last night I was only concerned about my anger, and this morning I must clarify the purpose of the Yu family inviting Master Wu to come.

By the time Xiang Wan finished tidying up and arrived at the flower garden, Lu Zhan and Rui Ge had just finished their first day of teaching.

Lu Zhan's back was facing the gate of the Kuayuan, but he didn't notice anyone coming. When Brother Rui saw his sister coming to visit the class, he ran over to greet his sister like a runaway pony. Lu Zhan saw that the person was Xiang Wan. No longer mentioning the matter of outsiders not disturbing, just followed over.

Seeing Ruige's bright red face and full of energy, Xiang Wan finally felt relieved. It seemed that Lu Zhan didn't abuse his younger brother because of her rudeness.

"Look at you running, sweating all over your head, hurry up and change your clothes before you come out, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Sister, you don't know, Big Brother Lu is amazing. Not only can he know swords, spears, swords and halberds, he can also do Tai Chi and Wuzongquan."

"It's not big or small, you should be called Mr. Lu." Xiang Wan didn't expect that Brother Rui, who was usually not good at talking, would get along with Lu Zhan so quickly, and it seemed that he was really happy with this master.

"It's okay, I'm the second child at home, and I didn't have any younger siblings when I was young. Rather than being a master for Brother Rui, it's better to be a big brother for him."

"Sister, don't worry about it, I'll go change first, and you help me greet Big Brother Lu to eat." Xiang Wan and Brother Rui have always eaten separately, because Lu Zhan came so early, it must be useless to go early, yesterday He ordered the kitchen to prepare it separately. Xiang Wan already had something to say to him, so he took him to the flower hall and ordered his servants to pass on the meal.

"Miss Yu..." "Mr. Lu..."

The two of them either didn't speak, or spoke at the same time, Zhu'er couldn't hold back, and let out a burst of laughter.

Xiang Wan glanced over, Zhu'er quickly put away her smile, and went outside with a sullen face to make a fuss about going early.

"Mr. Lu is willing to teach Brother Rui carefully. As a sister, I am both guilty and gratified. I really shouldn't have ignored your good intentions yesterday. You probably don't know that Brother Rui hasn't been so happy since his father left. Just for this, I ask Mr. Lu to accept my bow." As Xiang Wan said, he bowed deeply to Lu Zhan and bowed to the end.

Lu Zhan would not accept her gift, even if he wanted to worship, it was not here and now.

"It's unavoidable. Brother Rui and I have made a fortune. What's more, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This is not a big deal at all."

"Gao Yi, Mr. Lu, our Yu family has nothing to repay, but there is one thing I have to say first. Although Brother Rui has determined his ambition and wants to join the army, I actually don't want to."

"This Mr. Lu understands. The family is a heir to poetry and literature. It is unreasonable to waste Brother Rui's talent and force him to abandon literature and pursue martial arts. Now I teach him so that he can have a strong body. As for the future Since I have become his master, I will naturally guide him on the right path."

Xiang Wan didn't expect Lu Zhan to be so transparent.

"Now that I've said this, I have a word, and I want to ask Mr. Lu to clarify my doubts."

"Miss Yu, but it's okay to say."

"Although your two families live next to each other, how can my Yu family be able to be taken care of by Mr. Lu?"

"If you tell me, Ms. Yu probably won't believe it. As a person, I always do things from the heart. You don't have to think about it. Just treat me as a meddler."

Xiang Wan had let go of her guard earlier, and knew that there was no way to pry Lu Zhan's mouth open, so she had to suffer. She only hoped that there would be a chance to repay her in the future. She was never used to receiving favors in vain.

Lu Zhan didn't expect that Xiang Wan would have such a big change in his opinion of himself so quickly, but he didn't dare to get carried away, and still made up his mind to figure it out slowly.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, Lu Zhan went out through the corner gate of Yu Mansion, and went straight to the watch.

After Xiang Wan made some adjustments, he went straight to Ke Ruyunlai. Today was the first day of the battle against Zhuangyuan Building, and he didn't know how effective it was.

The yamen of the Ministry of Industry began to rest at noon, and it was not time to start work in the afternoon.During this period, Xiang Wan asked the staff to keep an eye on the customers coming and going at the intersection, to see how many came out of the yamen's gate and went straight to his own restaurant, and by the way, to see how many people were dragged away by the people from the Zhuangyuan Building.

The two guys hid behind the house, and they came back every time they had a cup of tea: Among the well-dressed business travelers, on average, 10 out of 6 people came straight to Customer Like Cloud, and these 6 About half of the people were pulled over by the people from the Zhuangyuan Building, that is to say, there are now 9 tables of customers from the Ministry of Industry in the store, and the Zhuangyuan Building intercepted 30 groups of people.

Xiang Wan knew that these 9 tables were all tooth extractions, so he could only keep a low profile before everything was arranged.

But Shopkeeper Dai has foreseen that Zhuangyuan Building will definitely not give up in the future, and only hopes that the owner is not the embroidered pillow, which is fancy but not useful.

At the Zhuangyuan Building, there was no movement of the customer like Yunlai, because Boss Hu was not in the store today, and the guys who went out to pull people were inevitably lazy, and they didn't find out why some people went straight to the newly opened restaurant. Anyway, they eat What is needed is a fixed salary, so the enthusiasm is naturally not much higher.

Xiang Wan waited here for a whole day, but he didn't see any reaction from Zhuangyuan Building, so he planned to make persistent efforts tomorrow, and let the servants muster up their strength. If they did this for two days, they would be dismantled according to Zhuangyuan Building's counterattack. trick.

At the second quarter of the time, Xiang Wan was thinking about the next countermeasure in the account room. The shopkeeper came to report, and a Lu Lang downstairs would come to look for him.

Xiang Wan thought it was Brother Rui who told Lu Zhan about opening his own shop, so he hurriedly invited people over.

Lu Zhan's visit this time brought two pieces of good news that are of great importance to the Yu family.

The first one was Xiang Wan's brother-in-law, Shang Zihuan, the former governor of Yongchuan, who was transferred to the right servant of the Ministry of War. There were more than a dozen foreign officials who were transferred to Beijing in the same batch. This incident did not cause much disturbance in the court.

And this second matter is really of great significance. His Royal Highness King Shou, who is now approaching his age, was suddenly added as a feudal lord.

King Shou originally had a fief. Although it was smaller than King Qi and King Chu, it was in Liangzhou, not far from Shangjing. Concubine Wan Shu insisted on staying behind after King Shou became a vassal on the grounds that she was reluctant to let her son go away. When he was in Beijing, Emperor Yong'an couldn't stand Wan's pillow style all the time. He actually ignored the ancestral precepts for many years and allowed King Shou to grow up in Beijing, and his voice even approached the crown prince.

The sudden addition of the feudal clan this time seems to be a special favor on the surface, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Emperor Yong'an's clear statement that King Shou will be a feudal clan. In other words, he has no relationship with Datong. , I'm afraid it will be upset again.

Although Xiang Wan didn't understand the affairs of the court, he also knew that Shou Wang might be at the end of the day. Does that mean that the Yu family will be rehabilitated one day?While he was overjoyed, he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it. How did Lu Zhan know the details of his family (the relationship between the merchant and the Yu family), and how did he know that King Shou was his enemy.

Luckily, Lu Zhan managed to get back a round in the tragic situation of chasing his wife because of his mental calculations but not his intentions.
