The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

It is said that Lu Xu's father has now been recalled by the court to fill the vacancy, and now there are only the old man, second uncle, and third uncle who have long been in official positions in his family.

Although Zhao Qingyi is young, she is the head of the Penglai School anyway. She inadvertently handed a greeting card. She only lives in Lu's house.

Lu Xu still regarded her as a courtesy guest Lu Xu had recruited. Although she was courteous, she didn't need her elders to come forward, and she just didn't need to entertain her.

Lu Xu broke her identity, and the matter soon spread to the Lu family's grandfather.

When Lu Xu went to ask for peace the next morning, the old lady had already asked. Lu Xu personally confirmed it, but concealed her true identity. Lu Xu is not stupid. He understands that she can be known as a woman, but for the time being, outsiders cannot know the identity of the clan. If her identity is known by outsiders, her revenge plan will be hindered.

Lu Xu only said that the sea bandits agreed to return the goods and pass through under the mediation of her and the Huo family, but their Lu family caravan also had to abide by some rules, their own business can pass, and they should not provide such convenience to other families in the south of the Yangtze River.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu frowned and said, "Isn't this attracting the attention of other families in Jiangnan? These chaebols in Jiangnan are also in the middle of the court. If they feel unfair, they can join us on the charge of colluding with sea bandits. Big or small."

Lu Xu said: "We have also considered this matter. We can tell those family members that we invited martial arts friends to mediate, and the sea bandits gave this face. They can't invite martial arts friends, can we blame us? Really? It will go to the court. How many civil servants dare to risk death with us? The court is not able to manage affairs in the martial arts at this time, and the various business groups themselves quarrel with us to no avail."

At this time, the imperial court's military was abolished, and if the military were to be eliminated, it would inevitably cause great chaos.

Lu Xu again mentioned the Xiyi people and the tripartite cooperation in investment in navigation. Grandpa Lu is a traditional scholar-official, and his vision is not so broad. Or Lu Xu introduced the geographical knowledge he learned from Zhao Qingyi, and the Xiyi people’s nautical chart. As proof.

"I heard that this continent has a vast land that is fertile beyond our imagination. It is all land without an owner, and no one has cultivated it. There is also a hundred times the silver mines of our Central Plains, and it is also without an owner. There is still no owner on this continent. The land where no one is cultivated, the gold mines are far beyond our Central Plains. Western nations don’t like farming very much, and the population is small, but they are very capable of mining. Now the western countries of Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France are all going to these two continents. For development, their colony has expanded here. The Philippines is very close to us. The imperial court does not have this ability, so it is better for us to participate in this opportunity. If our Lu family does not participate, the Penglai faction and the Huo family are also ready to unite."

Elder Lu looked at the strange nautical chart he had drawn, and sighed: "The world is really so big, can't I just be in a corner?"

Lu Xu pointed to the map and explained, "Actually, it is also recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that Ban Chao, the envoy of the Western Regions, sent Gan Ying to Da Qin, and Gan Ying arrived in Persia, which is here, and further west is the'Da Qin.' I am. Said Spain is relatively close to the'Da Qin', in this place."

Mrs. Lu is a man who has studied classics and history. Hearing his explanation like this, he became interested in asking questions. Zhao Qingyi said that combining the map of the Western Regions she had obtained and the nautical drawings drawn by the Spaniards produced a more detailed map, Lu Xutuo copied a copy and introduced it to his grandfather at this time.

Grandpa Lu listened for a long time and said: "Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount, but my Lu family is not too expensive, and I also find more ways for the children of the clan. If the expansion of the barbarians is unstoppable, as you said, Weapons are stronger than us, and sooner or later they will expand to our land. At that time, we can't avoid it, and we can't deal with it in a hurry."

Mrs. Lu faintly felt that this was against the traditional stance of scholar-officials, but they did not do it, others did it, and Xiyi people did it even more. Eggs could not be put in a basket.

...

When Lu Xu came back to his yard, he was about to find Zhao Qingyi. Xuan Shuang told him that she and the Zhao brothers and sisters had gone out early in the morning.

Lu Xu thought to himself that he always took his subordinates to look for them. There were a lot of people on the streets of Yangzhou.

Besides, they always have a way to go when they go out. They did not hide their whereabouts, and finally found them after half an hour.

Zhao Qingyi was being taken by an ancient "real estate agency" to look at the house. He stayed under the eaves of others for a long time and was uncomfortable. Zhao Qingyi had thousands of taels of gold and a box of jewels in his hand and wanted to buy a small yard.

Zhao Qingyi negotiated the price with the real estate agent. When she talked about applying for the house deed, she did not have an identity yet. Although the dynasty did not strictly restrict population movement, you always need to clearly state your name, place of origin, and original home address in order to apply for a land lease. If she explained that she had come from the government of Zhenguo, it would be troublesome.

Zhao Qingyi asked to buy it under Zhao Jinxiu's name first. Zhao Jinxiu said no, Zhao Qingyi said: "You don't need to fill in the property tax. Your identity is a little more convenient. The house is still mine, and I will give you one at most. Don't think too much."

Zhao Jinxiu was too embarrassed to say anything.

Zhao Qingyi never thought that the deed of the house would be taken away by others, but he thought that in the future there would be no Dajin, and of course the deed of Dajin would have to be reissued. At that time, he could change it if he wanted to record his own name.

She is the head of Zhao Da, and people in her clan still dare not swallow her real estate.

After the two discussed, Zhao Jinxiu was responsible for negotiating with the real estate agency and going to the county office to complete the formalities.

After exiting the door of this house, I saw Lu Xu who had arrived. Zhao Qingyi was short of interest when he heard that he was going to attend the Lu family banquet.

She touched her nose and said, "Why are you so polite?"

Lu Xu said, "Junior Sister is the head of Penglai. This is the proper etiquette."

Zhao Qingyi sighed: "I don't like these socializing parties. If there is anything, we can discuss it."

Lu Xu said, "Isn't the junior sister quite able to deal with the elderly? Master likes you very much."

Zhao Qingyi said: "The old Taoist is a member of the Xuanmen. Your old man used to worship the second grade and a member of the court. Can this be the same?"

Lu Xu said: "Grandfather is not a pedantic person. Junior sister helped us solve the problem of sea bandits. We should also thank you."

Zhao Qingyi sighed: "Okay, I'll go. Next time you ask your family to not be too polite."

Only then did they dispel their plan to wander outside and return to Lu's house together.

The Lu family hosted a banquet in the main hall. Lu Xu’s father came to Beijing to take office. The old grandfather and the second master of the Lu family were present, and the second Li Er Xue, whom Zhao Qingyi was familiar with, was the guest. She was a woman, and because she was the head of Penglai, they personally hosted her. But there are differences between men and women, and no one else is allowed to come.

"Head of Zhao! The old man didn't know it, it was rude, forgive, forgive me!" Zhao Qingyi took Zhao Jinshan into the main hall with Lu Xu, and Grandpa Lu greeted him personally.

Zhao Qingyi also changed a suitable socializing face, showing a graceful and unrestrained attitude, and said: "Through the fellowship of the brothers, I will disturb your house and accept hospitality, because I am still young and I am a woman. Dare to disturb you more virtuous masters. I didn't expect the virtuous masters to be so kind, and I don't even know how to deal with myself."

Seeing that the men's maiden was so beautiful and generous with her eyes like stars, Mrs. Lu secretly admired: There is such an extraordinary girl in the world.

Mrs. Lu said: "I dare not. My Lu family and Penglai have always been good friends, Xu'er is also under Penglai, Zhao Zhangmen Tianzong wizards, women do not let the eyebrows, if you can do a little bit for the guests, it is Great blessing. With so much courtesy, Zhao Master makes it difficult for the old to have a place to stay."

Although Lu Xu knew that although Zhao Qingyi had been bold and mischievous a lot, if she was a smart person, she would have acted appropriately if she didn't have brutality, but he was still a little worried along the way, and only then was a little relieved.

His worries are like every woman who takes her boyfriend home, and like a man who takes his girlfriend home, afraid of any big conflict between the two parties.

The second master of the Lu family said, "Father, it's getting late, so let's ask the head of Zhao to take a seat first."

Zhao Qingyi said to him, "This is the second master."

The second master also replied: "Head Zhao doesn't need to be polite."

Zhao Qingyi was greeted in the first seat on the left. As the head of Penglai, she also helped the Lu family solve the current difficult issues. Although she was young, she was naturally qualified to sit in the seat.

Grandpa Lu was accompanied by the right prime minister, but he was sitting a little farther away from her than the average male guest.

The second master and Lu Xu were sitting at the bottom of the small round table again, while Zhao Jinshan and a few guests opened another seat below.

The wine, pear blossom wine, is clear, mellow and beautiful.

The host was kind and drank a cup.

She was young this year, but the Lu family's father and son saw her drinking very boldly, very different from the Jiangnan woman, and said: Sure enough, she is the head of Penglai with great ability.

The Penglai School is not a small school. Lu Xu's brothers and sisters have very high skills. A young girl can be the head, and he has something to convince others.

There are no outsiders on the table at this time. Zhao Jinshan is a member of Zhao Qingyi's faction, and the Li and Xue brothers also admire her for her patience. The old elders of the Lu family, the second elders, and Lu Xu are naturally the basic community of interests.

The old lady of the Lu family asked about the interests of the ocean, Zhao Qingyi also briefly introduced the various civilizations and customs of Xiyi, and talked about the "three sages" of ancient Greece. Socrates is the same status as the Confucius in the East, followed by Plato and Aristotle, who are also understood by them as sub-Saints and the like.

Grandpa Lu was a scholar of jinx background, but was quite curious. Zhao Qingyi introduced the dialogue, which Grandpa Lu understood as the "Analects of Confucius" in the West.

"It turns out that Xiyi is different from the kingdom of Yi and Di around the Central Plains, and it has such a profound and systematic theory."

Zhao Qingyi said: "Although they have few people, they can run all over the world and run to our door. This is enough to prove that they are better than us in some aspects. This is not just a dispute between the two countries, but the Western civilization and the Eastern Confucian civilization. When fighting for territory in the whole world. When Xiyi possesses and digests all the colonies, it is when Western civilization armed with a more powerful military force than now forms a large-scale siege of the Chinese nation of Confucian civilization. Those who must participate in the great voyage as soon as possible The time goes by, otherwise it would be terrible."

Mrs. Lu said: "In this way, the court should pay attention to the changes that have taken place overseas and train naval officers."

Zhao Qingyi disagreed and said: "The court has no money, right? It is really rich, and it was taken by the officials. How much training is used?"

What else did Mrs. Lu say, Zhao Qingyi waved his hand, and said, "I don't want to deal with people in the court. You can do these things with the Lu family."

Lu Xu hurriedly finished the game again, and then had a cup and a cup of tea, and did not have a banquet until after noon.
