Chapter 4 Want to Invest in Lu Kang
Lu Chou followed Old Man Lu into the house, and Li was already asleep on the bed.
Old Man Lu looked at his sleeping wife with loving eyes. Old Man Lu and Li have been married for many years, but they have always been very affectionate. Now that Li is ill, Old Man Lu naturally feels distressed.
Old Man Lu was feeling fate in his heart, but Lu Chou saw Old Man Lu’s worried look and brought water in from outside the door.
Lu Chou raised the water cup in his hand and said to Old Man Lu: "Father, let's have a drink of water first."
Old Man Lu looked at Lu Chou, felt relieved, nodded and said, "Okay, let's put it next to you."
Lu Chou obediently placed the water next to Old Man Lu, then walked to Old Man Lu and sat upright on the side.
Old Man Lu asked with a smile: "What can I learn recently?"
Lu Chou heard this and shook his head helplessly and said, "Father, the child has read the Four Books and Five Classics all over the world. He has a lot of feelings, but there is no teacher here to solve my doubts."
Old Man Lu was quite helpless when he heard Lu Chou's words. After all, even the most famous teacher in Wujun had no choice but to treat Lu Chou. I'm afraid that only the great scholars of the world could teach this child.
But why is the great scholars of the times so easy to invite?
I have to say that this child is indeed smart and almost a monster. Everything he taught will be integrated into something that belongs to him just by just one stroke.
It's not a problem to recite, it just takes a little time.
However, even if it took some time to read the Four Books and Five Classics, Lu Chou, who had already finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, could have recited the Four Books and Five Classics long ago. However, if it was said to be fully understood, it would be impossible. After all, without the guidance of a good teacher, no one could solve any doubts even if Lu Chou had some of his views.
The order of both reading and reading are different, but the difference is 100,000 miles.
Old Man Lu was also very troubled by this at first, but now Old Man Lu has an idea in his heart that makes people wonder whether it is a blessing or a disaster.
Today, as soon as Old Man Lu arrived at the blacksmith shop, he received a message that it was sent by Lu Kang, a member of Old Man Lu's tribe.
At this moment, Lu Kang had been transferred from the prefect of Wuling to the prefect of Guiyang, but by chance, he knew that the Lu family had a prodigy like Lu Chou, so he wanted Old Man Lu to go there.
There are two meanings: one is to help the old man Lu's family, and the other is to cultivate this figure who is known as the leader of the Lu family's next generation.
However, Old Man Lu is also a mature guy. Although the world is not as chaotic as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there are only two years left before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
In other words, many disasters have already come to this world, and there are many refugees caused by this. Some of the desperate refugees are naturally forced to go up the mountain to fall into the grass.
Therefore, the road to Guiyang is not easy to walk. Just a group of bandits will be enough for Old Man Lu’s family to get in.
However, Lu Kang was naturally busy with business because he took office because of his new official position.
Therefore, Lu Kang had clearly indicated that he could not come to pick up the old man Lu's family. Therefore, the old man Lu's family had to move forward all the way to Guiyang.
Geographically speaking, Guiyang is not very far away from Wujun and Wuxian. However, even if it is not far away, it is inevitable that there will be no accidents along the way. This is exactly where Old Man Lu is worried.
Old Man Lu looked at Lu Chou and couldn't help but sigh softly, but he knew in his heart that he would go no matter what he was doing, but how to reach Guiyang safely was the first difficulty he had to face.
Lu Chou was a human being for two lifetimes, but he could see that Old Man Lu seemed to be worried about why, and he couldn't help but ask in a childish voice: "Did my father encounter any trouble? Can you tell me to see if the child can help his father?"
Old Man Lu was naturally hard to say, but after holding it in his heart for a long time, he couldn't help but want to say something to vent.
So, Old Man Lu said to Lu Chou: "It's nothing, but it was your uncle who wrote a letter to let our family move west to Guiyang, but the road is dangerous and the world is not peaceful now, so I can't help feeling a little sad."
When Lu Chou heard this, he asked in confusion: "Uncle? Why did Uncle go to Guiyang?"
When Old Man Lu heard Lu Chou's words, he couldn't help but feel a little arrogant in his heart and said, "You don't know this. Your uncle is a hero of our Lu family. When you were born, he was promoted to the prefect of Wuling. Therefore, it is normal for you not to know it."
"Prefect Wuling?" Lu Chou was even more confused, but Lu Chou vaguely remembered that any surnamed Lu had been the Prefect Wuling.
What Wuling Prefect Lu Chou remembers is the Wuling Prefect when Liu Bei defeated Cao and seized the four counties in Jingnan after Liu Bei defeated Cao.
However, as for whom the surname is, Lu Chou is not very clear. He just vaguely remembers that he is a man with the surname Jin. As for the prefect of Wuling of the Lu family, Lu Chou cannot remember it.
Of course, if anyone in the Lu family is the most famous, of course, Lu Xun, who lost his life by Liu Bei, was burned by the Three Kingdoms. However, Lu Xun is probably not born yet at this moment.
Lu Chou shook his head and smiled and thought: "How is it possible? Lu Xun seemed to have come from Lujiang, why did he run to Guiyang again? How could he be related to the Lu family in Wujun?"
Old Man Lu looked at Lu Chou and asked the prefect of Wuling in confusion. Then he shook his head again and said dissatisfiedly: "What? Do you don't believe it? Let me tell you that the former prefect of Wuling and the current prefect of Guiyang are Lu Kang, the hero of my Lu family."
"Lu Kang?" Lu Chou thought in confusion.
Lu Kang had some impression of this, but Lu Chou couldn't remember who it was. As for whether Lu Kang and Lu Xun had any relationship, Lu Chou couldn't remember it at this time.
However, it doesn't matter. Since there is such an official uncle, Lu Chou will naturally be willing to go there. Maybe if he wants to establish his own power in the future, he will probably rely on the prestige of this uncle.
However, Lu Chou also knew that Old Man Lu's concerns were unreasonable. Now refugees are everywhere, and it may not be easy to walk to Guiyang safely on the way. Lu Chou's mind was running rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, Lu Chou felt a scheming in his heart.
Lu Chou smiled and said to his father: "Father, in fact, this matter is not that difficult."
When Old Man Lu heard Lu Chou's words, he said earnestly: "It's not as simple as I thought. Now the world is full of refugees. If you meet ordinary refugees, you may have to spend some money. But if you meet bandits, even if we have a hundred lives, we will not be able to handle it. What's more, your mother's body can't stand the tossing. This time, I'm afraid that your mother will die in less than half of the journey."
When Lu Chou saw his father's appearance, he knew that his father was worried about his mother. When faced with this problem, Lu Chou didn't know what to say.
After all, it is not a thousand years later, with such a developed means of transportation. The best means of transportation is just a carriage.
And in the case of Lu Chou’s case, how could he get on a carriage, something that is considered luxurious in the south? Lu Chou also began to think secretly.
Old Man Lu looked at the light that had originally bloomed in Lu Chou's eyes slowly dimming, but he thought to himself with self-deprecating thought: "Old Man Lu, Old Man Lu, your child is just a child no matter how you say it. Do you really think of him as the kind of person who is born to know and hope that he can come up with something?"
Then, Old Man Lu said to Lu Chou: "It's okay to have no choice, but don't worry, father, I don't have much ability, but what can be guaranteed is that it will never delay your future."
When Lu Chou heard Old Man Lu's words, he couldn't help but feel moved.
After all, no matter how many centuries have passed, parents' love for their children is the same. This made Lu Chou feel a little awkward at the moment, but now it is not awkward at all.
Lu Chou asked Old Man Lu with a smile: "Father, I wonder what big family does this Wujun have? What industries are there below?"
When Old Man Lu heard Lu Chou's words, he didn't know what he wanted to say. However, Old Man Lu still said everything he knew.
In Wujun, there are four larger families, namely the Lu family, the Zhu family, the Zhang family, and the Gu family. As for industry, it is mainly agriculture, and as for business, the four major families are slightly involved.
However, now the Lu family has followed because Lu Kang became the prefect of Guiyang. Only the unpopular side branches like Old Man Lu remained at Wujun to support the Lu family.
Lu scandal heard this and asked, "I wonder if the remaining three families except the Lu family have business in Guiyang County?"
After thinking for a while, Old Man Lu's eyes lit up.
Old Man Lu naturally understood Lu Chou's thoughts at this moment. However, then, Old Man Lu was shocked. After all, it was not surprising that this idea would appear in an adult's mouth. However, the person who talked about this idea at this moment was actually a four-year-old child, but Old Man Lu was not surprised.
Old Man Lu thought for a moment but said, "Now, the Zhu family seems to be in business to Guiyang. If we go over and say hello to the Zhu family, we might as well go with us."
Immediately, the older Mr. Lu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Okay! This matter is settled. Since their Zhu family is going to do business in Guiyang, they naturally need my Lu family to take care of him. I will talk to them now. It's very convenient to come, so I'll go now."
"Is the Zhu family?" Lu Chou murmured, looking up at the back of Old Man Lu's hurriedly leaving.
