"Sister-in-law, don't get excited!"
Lu Ning quickly put down his chopsticks and said speechlessly: "Half a month ago, didn't I tell you that I became a regular employee?"
The three of them frowned and stared at him, this was what happened.
Lu Ning continued: "You don't even think about it. As a ninth-grade captain, how does living in a small house like this fit in with my status?"
"Of course there is a big mansion that matches my identity."
When he said this, Lu Xiu and the others reacted.
As a ninth-grade military attache of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although his official position is not high, it is still an official, and it comes with a mansion.
"Second brother, where is the big mansion?"
Ruan Shuting became gentle as soon as she spoke.
In my excitement just now, I forgot that Lu Ning is now an official.
You still have to give some noodles when it’s time to give them.
Lu Ning glanced at his sister-in-law angrily and said, "Still on Pingyang Street, our County Lieutenant Li from Changxingfang was found guilty of bullying the people and taking bribes. Wasn't he caught a few days ago?"
"What we are moving to is his mansion."
Lu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it Li Cang in Nantou?"
Lu Ning nodded: "It's him, he's already in prison."
You are in jail, but you are not in a prison.
Ruan Shuting's eyes were bright. She remembered that Li Cang's mansion was quite big, and it was a newly built mansion.
Every time she passed by, she would look at him with envy.
Unexpectedly, less than half a year after living in the Li family, it became her home.
"Let me tell you, our second brother is the most promising!"
With a smile on her face, Ruan Shuting quickly picked up a chicken leg for Lu Ning and said happily: "Eat, one is not enough for two."
When Lu Qing saw this, he hurriedly picked up another chicken leg and said, "Second brother, eat. If two are not enough, there is still one pot."
"Ahem...we are all a family, you don't have to fawn over me so much...!" Lu Ning coughed lightly, and just as he was speaking, he found that both of them ignored him, and turned around to clean up with happy faces.
"Ah~ My chicken legs are my chicken legs... Xiaomi, the chicken legs are mine..."
Lu Ning was shocked by the reaction of his sister-in-law and little sister when the little girl hugged his arm and stretched out her short arms to grab it into his bowl.
"do not move!"
Lu Ning pressed the chicken legs with chopsticks and said hurriedly: "Uncle, I will pick it up for you. Come on, give Niu Niu a chicken butt...!"
"No, no, I don't want chicken butts, I want chicken legs...!"
The little girl pursed her lips, shook her head and waved her stubby hands.
Lu Ning rolled his eyes and gave the little girl a chicken drumstick.
The little girl grabbed the chicken drumstick without eating it, and continued to stare at the other one in Lu Ning's bowl: "Little millet, little millet, there is another one, I want more...!"
Lu Ning: "..."
He immediately picked up the chicken legs in the bowl and licked them with his tongue.
"Ah wu wu wu... Bad little millet, big bad guy...!"
The little girl stared at her big Kazilan eyes, pursed her lips twice and started crying.
You naughty kid, don’t leave any of them for me!
Lu Ning rolled his eyes: "I give it to you, it's all for you...!"
Holding a chicken drumstick in one hand, the little girl stopped crying.
Not sure if she disliked it, Lu Ning licked it twice, looked at the second drumstick and didn't eat it. She ate the first drumstick first, then swayed her little body and went to the side room to find her mother for a kiss.
For a while, there were only two brothers left in the main room.
Lu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, you are now promising, but this old house...!"
Lu Ning hurriedly interrupted: "Brother doesn't want to sell it, so we won't sell it. Just now I thought the old house was empty, so it would be safer to exchange it for money."
Lu Xiudao: "Keep it, we have too many memories here!"
Lu Ning nodded: "Listen to brother."
Then the two brothers talked about other topics.
There are those in the Confucius Courtyard and those in the court.
The Confucius Courtyard and the eldest princess were a bit close. Su Zhengjing didn't want Qin Zhong to cause public opinion, so he alienated the relationship with the eldest princess.
At the same time, Su Zhengjing also retreated to read the books of sages.
In the court, it was Lu Xiu who heard some prominent students and teachers talking about it.
The general meaning is that Emperor Mingwu's health is deteriorating and his succession to the throne has not yet been decided.
Ever since Kou Shize entered the palace and burst into tears, the eldest princess and the Demon Suppressor had become much quieter.
All civil and military officials in the court are cautious in their actions every day.
It seems like everyone is waiting.
Wait for that result to come out.
Only civil and military officials can make choices.
Lu Ning nodded silently. Emperor Mingwu really didn't have a good choice. He didn't want to give up the throne to his two brothers, but Concubine Qi was pregnant. Who knew whether she was a prince or a princess?
Therefore, Emperor Mingwu was also waiting.
It's just that there may be more than one outcome for Emperor Mingwu to wait. For example, who is Young Master Jinlin?
Can Concubine Qi give birth to a prince?
…
The next morning.
Cao Pei, the prison chief, Shou Hou, and the four prison chiefs from Ding and Bing areas.
People came to Lu Ning's old house one after another to help with the move.
The prison chiefs from Districts A and B also wanted to come, but Wu Yizhao did not give him leave.
The reason is that there must be some cell heads left in the sky prison to deal with some emergencies.
Moving to a new home is a joyful occasion.
Neighbors also came over to help. Lu Ning didn't have much of an impression of those people, but he could still recognize them when he met them.
"Chang'an is really promising now, he has become a Shangguan!"
"Yes Dalang, does Chang'an say he has a wife now?"
"Chang Wen, my third uncle's grandma's cousin has gone to school for two years. She is very quiet, virtuous, and a decent person. Why don't you tell Chang'an about it?"
Lu Xiu's face was full of smiles. Today was the most glorious day in the history of his Lu family.
There are people inside and outside the courtyard.
There was the sound of gongs and drums in the distance. It was the county magistrate of Changxingfang who came with people to congratulate the Lu family.
For a time, the entire Pingyang Street knew about Lu Ning's promotion and came to congratulate him one after another.
The atmosphere is so lively.
Lu Ning, who was packing clothes in the room, took a look outside and sighed inwardly:
It's true that once you get promoted, Zhang San and Li Si will come to add icing on the cake.
But when you are in trouble, there may be no one to help you.
The county magistrate of Changxingfang was surnamed Wei. Lu Ning had never heard of it before, but it did not affect the relationship between them at all.
Even when we meet, it feels like meeting old friends.
Of course, Lu Ning didn't feel this way.
It can only be said that Wei County Prime Minister is too old-fashioned.
Wear a big red flower and ride a tall horse.
The celebration of promotion and housewarming has begun.
Lu Ning sighed inwardly. He originally wanted to move in a low-key manner, but ended up making such a big noise.
Looking back at the elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister who were following behind him, they all looked elated and glowing, and he also became happy.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the new mansion.
Firecrackers crackled.
The purpose of enlarging red firecrackers is to calm the house and also to celebrate.
People are happy, envious and flattering.
After the firecrackers were over, of course Lu Ning, the official, came in first.
In the big mansion, when Wei County Cheng was tidying up, he had arranged for six maids in advance.
At this moment, the door was opened to welcome Lu Ning.
"Hello, sir!" The six maids bowed and saluted.
Lu Ning felt strange when he heard the maid calling him Master, but he didn't allow him to think too much at the moment.
After coming in.
He turned back to invite his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Wei Xian Cheng and others all praised Lu Ning for being so sensible, not forgetting respect for the elders and the younger, and not forgetting the kindness of his brother and sister-in-law.
"Little sister, come in too!"
"Second brother is here."
The family happily walked into the big mansion.
Then Wei County Prime Minister and everyone came to the house to congratulate him. Of course, congratulatory gifts were indispensable.
Some give calligraphy and paintings, some give jade articles, and some also bring money.
Human relationships and customs exist in every world!
Looking at the gifts piled up in the yard, Lu Ning smiled inwardly.
Afterwards, I discussed with my eldest brother and decided to entertain Wei Xian Cheng and his neighbors in a larger restaurant on Pingyang Street at noon.
"Brother Lu, come and take a look!" Cao Pei shouted outside the gate.
Lu Ning walked out quickly, and everyone was hanging a plaque. The plaque read: Lu Mansion.
Standing in front of the door and taking a closer look, Lu Ning nodded and said, "Not bad, very decent."
Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, he suddenly felt a cold light piercing his back.
Lu Ning couldn't help but turn around and look at a luxury carriage not far from the street.
His consciousness rushed out of his eyebrows, and he got into the carriage in a flash.
