My Life Simulator

"Can't I say it here?"

Lu Li really didn't really want to enter the door of the woman at the bottom of the black pot.

Although "greeting my body" is just a joke, but seeing that it is about to get dark, coming to the door at this time is really suspicious.

"I have something to show you!"

The woman at the bottom of the black pot seems to be very persistent.

Have something to show me? This... is really misunderstood!

Lu Li calmed down and nodded to the woman at the bottom of the black pot, "Let's lead the way!"

"Okay! Please come with me!"

The woman at the bottom of the black pot hurriedly got up, held the child, led Lu Li, walked all the way into Huangjia Village, and came to an old small courtyard.

Bamboo fences, thatched huts, and walls made of mud mixed with straw don't look bad.

After entering the door, the woman at the bottom of the black pot greeted Lu Li and sat down in the main room.

"Master Lu, please take a seat."

The woman at the bottom of the black pot saluted Lu Li and said, "The little girl's surname is Li, and my mother's surname is Lu. She came from a side branch of the Yangjing Lu family. Speaking of which, we should be cousins."

Is this a relative?

Lu Li couldn't understand the idea of ​​"the bottom of the black pot", so he could only answer: "It turned out to be a relative! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it before."

"My mother's family has moved from Yangjing to Huating County. It's normal that you don't know each other."

"The bottom of the black pot" smiled at Lu Li, and added: "Lu Ji, the head of the Yangjing Lu clan in the previous generation, the son of Duke Yanshan, passed away nine years ago at the age of thirty-seven. The current generation of Yangjing Lu clan. Patriarch, it's less than twenty now. You shouldn't be the direct descendant of the Yangjing Lu family, right?"

"of course not!"

Lu Li shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself, if I have anything to do with Lu Shen, I have to go back and look at the genealogy to find out!

It's just, what exactly is this "black pot" trying to say?

"My mother is the third family of the Yangjing Lu family. Although the third family moved to Huating, she also returned to Yangjing to worship her ancestors. I also met Yangjing Lu family's peers when I was a child, but... I have never been able to figure out who you are. Which cousin of mine is that?"

Having said that, "Black Pot Bottom" glanced at Lu Li with a strange look in his eyes.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Li smiled without answering, thinking: You know too much.

"I remember!"

At this time, "Black Pot Bottom" suddenly looked like he had come to a realization, "Young Master Lu, you are also the third wife of the Yangjing Lu family. You are my uncle's son and my first cousin."

"so what?"

Lu Li watched the performance of "The Bottom of the Black Pot" with a smile on his face.

This "black pot" obviously saw that Lu Li's identity was fake, but it was only slightly broken, and he deliberately gave him the name of his cousin. There must be a reason.

"Cousin, ten years ago, my uncle took you, who was only twelve years old, to run a boat with others, and you never came back. Now my cousin is finally back, and the Huating Lu family also has a backbone."

"The bottom of the black pot." The two got up hurriedly, "Cousin wait a moment, uncle still has something left here."

With that said, "Black Pot Bottom" turned around and went back to the room, and came out with a wooden box.

Handing the wooden box in front of Lu Li, "the bottom of the black pot" said, "Cousin, this is what my uncle left before he left, take a look."

Lu Li reached out and took the wooden box, but he didn't open it. Instead, he looked up at the "black pot" and said, "What do you want me to do by giving this to me?"

"Black Pot Bottom" hugged the little girl, and knelt down in front of Lu Li with a "pop", "Please, my grandfather, save my grandfather's family. My uncle was framed and imprisoned, and some gangsters embezzled the Lu family's property. Today, Huating Lu's only My grandmother and my brother-in-law's wife and daughter are left, the whole family is in danger, please help me!"

This is a deal.

In exchange for Lu Li's help with the identity of the third house of the Lu family.

"What about your family?"

Lu Li still didn't answer, and asked the "black pot" again.

"My father was a scholar, and he failed many times. He died of illness at an early age. My mother also passed away last year."

"Black Pot Bottom" replied quickly.

"What about your husband?"

Lu Li looked at the little girl in "Black Pot Bottom"'s arms and asked another question.

"Uh?"

"The bottom of the black pot" looked stagnant, "I'm not married yet, where can I get my husband?"

Lu Li was also a little stunned, and quickly pointed to the little girl in the arms of "Black Pot", "Then... Who is she?"

"My sister!"

The answer was beyond Lu Li's expectations.

With such a thick layer of ash on your face, how can I see how big you are? Seeing that you are carrying a child, the first reaction is that it is your daughter.

In fact, under normal circumstances, unmarried women and married women have very different hairstyles.

It's just... In order to avoid the Japanese pirates, the "black pot" not only painted his face black, but also broke his hair.

This made Lu Li a little preconceived, always thinking that this was a married woman.

"It turned out to be Miss Li, offended and offended!"

Lu Li smiled apologetically, stretched out his hand to help "Black Pot Bottom" up, "I know what you mean! This matter... I'll take it!"

If you want to mix in the Ming Dynasty, it is very important to have a reasonable identity. A fake identity will be fine for a while, but it is not a long-term solution.

Now, this "black pot" Miss Li deliberately sent Lu Li a reasonable identity, which is naturally much more convenient.

As for solving the plight of the Huating Lu family, it is not difficult.

The heads of twenty-three Japanese pirates can do a lot of things.

I have to say, this "black pot" Miss Li is really a smart person. This was done very well. If you put it in the future, she is not a female scholar but also a strong female.

It's a pity... In this day and age, even if she is flexible and intelligent, she can't do anything, so she can only pin her hopes on Lu Li.

In other words, her move was actually quite risky. Whether it can solve the problem, or even whether Lu Li will come forward to solve the problem, is still unknown, and it depends entirely on Lu Li's character.

Huh? and many more!

This "black pot" saw me go looking for the Japanese pirates, and also saw that I came back with a few knives and bloodstains on my body, and even heard me say "going to kill the Japanese pirates".

Besides, when the soldiers were looting, I even came forward to stop it.

Maybe she saw my character at that time and knew that I was a great man of noble character?

Not bad! Very insightful!

Lu Li smiled, stretched out his hand and opened the wooden box that "the bottom of the black pot" brought over.

In this wooden box, there is only one jade card, the texture is not bad, pure white Dushan jade.

Carving is normal.

In the view of Lu Li, a master of jade carving, the carving of the jade plaque is extremely crude.

The surrounding moire is very rigid and has no sense of elegance at all, and the word "Lu" in seal script is engraved in the blank space in the middle.

This word is also very ordinary, in the eyes of a calligraphy master Lu Li, it is simply unsightly.

"Thank you... cousin!"

Lu Li picked up the jade badge and hung it on his waist, bowed his hands to the "black pot", and called out the title of "cousin".

"Watch... cousin, you're welcome!"

A smile appeared on the "Black Pot Bottom" face. Seeing that Lu Li "recognized" this relative, the "black pot" breathed a sigh of relief.

"Right. Two cousins, what are your names? How old are you this year?"

As a "cousin", this basic information still needs to be clarified. Lu Li hurriedly asked "Black Pot Bottom".

"Little sister Li Wan, seventeen this year."

The bottom of the black pot pointed to the little girl next to her, "This is my younger sister, she is six years old this year, her nickname is Nannan, and her first name has not been taken yet."

Speaking of this, a look of sadness flashed in Li Wan's eyes, "I originally had a younger brother and a younger sister, but all of them... all died."

Lu Li also sighed.

In this era, the emperor's son will die, let alone ordinary people?

Just as he was talking, a shout suddenly sounded outside the door: "Master Lu, is Master Lu there? My lord of thousands of households has invited me!"

"coming!"

Lu Li agreed, then turned to look at Li Wan, "You and Nan Nan are waiting at home, I'll deal with things first."

"Um!"

Li Wan nodded quickly.

"By the way, I have something here, you put it away first."

Lu Li handed over to Li Wan the gold, silver and samurai swords that were found from the Japanese pirates.

"This is……"

Li Wan ended up wrapping it, only to feel her hands sink.

"The spoils of killing Japanese pirates."

Lu Li smiled, turned and walked out the door.

In the room, Li Wan looked at Lu Li's back, reached out and hugged Nan Nan next to her, and muttered to herself, "Young Master Lu is a good person, he will definitely help us."

...

After Lu Li went out, he saw a hundred officials outside the door.

This person is the one hundred households that Qianhu Tong Zhilin sent to count the corpses of Japanese pirates.

"This lord, what's your surname?"

Lu Li bowed his hands to the official of the hundred households.

"Don't dare to be! Under the king Heihu, I have seen Young Master Lu."

This Hundred Household Officer, according to the rank, is already a sixth-rank military attache. However, in front of Lu Li, a fake scholar, he could only call himself "under" and did not dare to put on airs.

This is the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty "literary, noble and military".

"Lord Wang is very polite!"

Lu Xin sighed inwardly. The status of the soldiers is so low, and they have to fight to the death to protect their families and the country, what's so special...weird!

The road of my great general, in the Ming Dynasty, in the era of "literary and military inferiority", is really not easy to mix!

Following Baihu Wang Heihu, Lu Li walked out of Huangjia Village.

At this time, Qianhu Tong Zhilin had already lined up in the cold wind with more than 300 "beggar soldiers" under his command.

The soldiers' clothes are worn out, and the once mighty and splendid war jackets have been dilapidated, and it is not known which year they were handed down.

A group of soldiers stood shivering in the cold wind. Lu Li even saw an old soldier with white beard and hair, and a half-old child in his teens in the army formation.

Daming's guardhouse has long been smashed!

"Master Lu, are you here?"

Qianhu Tong Zhilin saw Lu Li's arrival, and hurriedly greeted him, "I have already sent people to report the victory to the Huating magistrate and the commander of Jinshanwei. The two adults will be here soon."

"Are the magistrates and commanders coming?"

Lu Li nodded, "General Tong, how did this great victory of annihilating the Japanese pirates come about, do you know how?"

"certainly."

Tong Zhilin nodded quickly, "This morning, the sentry detected the whereabouts of the pirates, and Mr. Lu made a clever trick to lead the pirates into the forest. I led the soldiers to fight hard, and finally wiped out all the thieves."

"Can!"

Lu Li smiled and nodded, "Then I wish General Tong a promotion!"

"Where! Where! It's all in the light of Young Master Lu!"

Tong Zhilin bowed his hands to Lu Li again.

After a while, on the road ahead, a group of people came rushing in.

In front of the team are soldiers clearing the way, and in the middle is a large sedan chair. Behind the sedan chair, followed by a military general wearing a mountain armor, wearing a cloak, and riding a tall horse.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing this scene, Tong Zhilin's face was full of excitement, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Yuan, the magistrate of Huating County, and Mr. Liu of the command room of Jinshanwei, are coming soon. We will go forward to meet them."

Having said that, Tong Zhilin hurriedly dismounted from the horse, hurried to the intersection of the village, and stood on the side of the road to welcome the arrival of the two adults.

Lu Li also followed Tong Zhilin to the intersection.

After a while, the big sedan stopped at the intersection.

The general next to him got off his horse and waited outside the sedan chair with a respectful face.

The sedan chair fell, the curtains were lifted, and an official with a long beard and a round body wearing an official robe embroidered with the "鸶嶒" pattern on the chest came out with his head held high.

This person is "Master Yuan", the magistrate of Huating County, and he looks very round.

After Yuan Zhixian got off the sedan chair, the commander of Jinshanwei who followed behind only started to move, and he was still a few steps behind, not daring to rank with Yuan Zhixian.

The magistrate is of the seventh rank, and the commander of the guard is at least the third rank. In terms of rank, the commander of Jinshanwei is much higher than the magistrate of Huating.

However... the reality is that the status of the magistrate of Huating is much higher than that of the commander of Jinshanwei.

This is "the noble and the lowly".

"Tong Zhilin, a thousand households of the Jinshan Guard, pays a visit to the magistrate, and the commander!"

At this time, Tong Zhilin, who was greeted at the intersection, hurriedly knelt to the ground and saluted Yuan Zhixian and the commander of Jinshanwei.

This is another manifestation of "literacy and military inferiority".

The five-rank 1000-household official actually wanted to kneel and salute with the seventh-rank magistrate, and when they were greeted, the magistrate was in the front, and the commander of Jinshanwei was in the back.

This is completely rubbing the dignity of a warrior on the ground! Being despised to this extent, I really feel unworthy for the soldiers of Daming.

What surprised Lu Li even more was that after Tong Zhilin knelt down and saluted, Yuan Zhixian didn't seem to see it at all, didn't pay attention at all, and looked at Lu Li instead.

"Student Lu Li, I have met the magistrate."

Lu Li just bowed slightly and greeted Yuan Zhixian.

However... Yuan Zhixian was very enthusiastic about Lu Li.

"Your surname is Lu? Could it be after Duke Yanshan?"

Yuan Zhixian's eyes swept across Lu Li's body and saw the jade plaque hanging on Lu Li's waist, the smile on his face became even stronger, "No gift, no gift!"

"The student is from the third house of Yangjing Lu's family. The family moved to Huating many years ago, and now they are under the rule of adults."

Lu Li bowed his hands to Yuan Zhixian again.

If you want to make a difference in this Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to integrate into this society. If you are always out of tune, you will be rejected by the whole society.

There is not enough strength for the time being, so we can only integrate into it first.

When there is enough power in the future, let's talk about changing the world and changing the things of this era!

As a general, I can't say that I have to start with the imperial examination.

If, like Tong Zhilin, seeing a seventh-rank sesame official, he had to kneel down, it would be completely unbearable.

take it easy! Stand firm first, then change the world!
