This is what cultivating immortals is like

That night, Lu Bei did not go back to the Wei Mansion, but went to the Zhu brothers' house to have dinner.

Without him, he calculated with his fingers that tonight there was a war in the imperial palace, and there were cavalry fighting in the gate. He didn't know when he would be able to pay the money and withdraw his troops, so he would not go there and ask for trouble.

When their partners came to pay New Year's greetings, the Zhu brothers welcomed them with red envelopes. The three of them went to Mingyue Tower for a reunion, and Lu Bei had the long-lost authentic roast goose.

I had no experience before and didn’t understand the cooking steps of roast goose, so I could only try to get addicted to it. It’s different now. I have rich experience in cooking many times, and I am confident that I can reversely deduce the chef’s production process based on the taste.

…

Yizhou, Nanyang County, Changming County.

Changming Mansion.

Changming is the name of the county and the title of the eldest princess Zhu Qilan, who controls 3,000 households in the city.

According to Wu Zhou's law, unmarried princesses are not entitled to food and housing, and neither are the eldest princesses. Zhu Qilan had no actual title before.

However, the emperor at that time was very tolerant to his own sister. He knew that Zhu Qilan was far away in a foreign land. He said that he was granted the title of king, but in fact it was comparable to exile. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he obtained many benefits for her, including three thousand households in the city.

Originally, according to the emperor's wishes, he was just a biological sister. Three thousand households seemed like a lot in name, but only three hundred in actual status. Ten thousand households was almost the same, barely worthy of the noble status of the eldest princess.

It was rejected by the clan because it was unreasonable and had no precedent.

The emperor expressed his understanding that it should not be done without precedent, but it did not happen before, which does not mean that it will not happen in the future.

As the boss of Wuzhou, he did not want to act arbitrarily, and was willing to give face to the clan elders. He would not change the 3,000 households in the settlement, and doubled the 300 households in the real estate, for a total of 600 households.

Both parties took a step back, and Zhu Qilan's worth was determined.

In this way, the taxes and labor bonuses of the six hundred households did not go to the court, but were all handed over to the Changming Mansion, and the poor princess and sister instantly became a rich woman who had no worries about food and drink.

Although she didn't have to worry about food and drink before, she was the only one among Wu Zhou's civil servants to receive the salary from the great commander of the Emperor's Sect.

At this moment, in front of the Changming Mansion, there was a long queue lined up neatly. There were people of all ages, old, middle-aged and young, but all of them were from silk and satin and came from a prominent family.

At about the location of the registration office, a young man put down the greeting card. The scribe in charge of registration opened the greeting card, looked at it, made some outlines in his pen, and then asked someone to pass the greeting card in.

The young man waited eagerly until his invitation disappeared behind the wall, then turned around and said goodbye to the others.

"Mr. Zhao, are you here too?"

"General Wang, happy New Year!"

"Seniors, I am new here. I want to ask, I have a magic sword, ten pairs of jade, fifty pearls, a hundred pieces of brocade and silk, and ten thousand taels of silver. Can I meet the eldest princess?"

You are driving up the market price!

The crowd was stunned when they heard this, then shook their heads and sneered.

"Young man, are you from the countryside?

"Hahaha, don't even look at where this place is. Even with this little money, I want to see the eldest princess."

"Save it, put the greeting card away quickly, don't humiliate yourself!"

"Ah this..."

The young man's face turned red, he hesitated and couldn't speak, and he hid his face and ran away amid the laughter of the onlookers.

┬┴┤;)

In the corner, Lu Bei stopped to watch and swallowed with a gulp.

Poverty limited his imagination, and he had some misunderstandings about the word rich woman.

I will not do it again!

He touched his pocket, took out a palm-sized ten-tael silver note, and stuffed it back into his sleeve after a struggle. After taking a detour to the back door of the Princess Mansion, I saw a notice on the wall calling for handymen, and I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch my chin.

Two possibilities.

The first one, considering that he is the eldest princess with a distinguished status, he will be led in after signing up, and will most likely be tied up, and then a beardless old man will step forward with a smile while holding a knife.

The second type is that all low-level servants are under military management. Because she is a noble eldest princess, she has four beautiful maids in the inner courtyard.

"Got it!"

Lu Bei nodded, choosing neither option.

He looked around and noticed that the guard in the backyard was moving towards the latrine with his belt in hand. He took advantage of the situation and entered with a big jump, jumping over the wall and into the yard easily.

Uh-huh! xN

Thirty-six soldiers in helmets and armor stepped forward and neatly pulled out the long swords at their waists. The cold light was so sharp that Lu Bei's face was covered with black lines.

Careless.

Changming Mansion was guarded by a formation that blocked perception and brought confusion. He didn't check it for a moment and jumped directly into the illusion formation.

As expected, the piercing sirens outside have spread throughout the city.

"He died before he left the army, and the late emperor spent all his budget..."

Lu Bei complained, avoided the dangerous murderous intention in the phantom formation, and walked towards the Shengmen position in a hurry: "If I had known this would happen, I should have bribed the accountant ten taels of silver just now. I was stingy this time, and I won't do it next time. "

Uh-huh! x3

The front foot stepped out of the phantom formation, but before the back foot could follow, Lu Bei saw another bright flash of swords and shadows in front of his eyes.

The difference is that this time the guards are three women, with cold faces and serious expressions.

"Girls are so good at dancing with guns and sticks. It's easy to hurt yourself with swords and other things."

Lu Bei joked, and when he saw the unmoved eyes of the three people, he suddenly realized: "Everyone in the family raises death warriors, my cousin is very insecure!"

"Who is coming?" the dead man asked.

"I don't want to change my name, but I don't want to change my surname. Ningzhou Ding Lei was invited to pay homage to the princess, and I also asked this sister to pass the news on my behalf."

"Ningzhou..."

The dead soldier frowned and pondered, one of them put away his sword and left, leaving the two remaining to guard Lu Bei.

After a while, the dead man brought back a young woman, pointed to Lu Bei and said, "Housekeeper, this is the person who claims to be from Ningzhou."

The housekeeper has beautiful eyes and dark eyebrows. She is dressed in green soft satin, with a slender waist tightly tied with tassels. She holds a Ruyi sachet, and her figure is soft and graceful.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Lu Bei for a while, and said in a voice like a flowing spring: "Ningzhou Ding Lei has never heard of it, but Ningzhou Lu Bei has heard about it. May I ask who you are?"

"To be honest, Ningzhou Lubei, nicknamed Ding Lei."

Lu Bei explained that after someone found out his identity, he simply stopped hiding it and raised his hand to wipe his face to reveal his true appearance.

"You are the one."

The housekeeper nodded and smiled, and said to the dead man next to her: "This person is a guest of His Highness. The way he entered the door is the same as what His Highness told him to do. Put away your weapons and don't neglect the guest."

Lu Bei: (一`一)

To put it clearly, what does it mean that the way to enter the door is the same as the explanation? What else did Zhu Qilan maliciously slander?

"Mr. Lu, please come with me. His Highness is practicing in a quiet room and needs to be notified."

The housekeeper raised her hand to invite her. After walking a few steps, she met a maid and gave her several instructions in her ear.

Lu Bei's sharp ears accidentally overheard something, which roughly meant that the queue at the door had dispersed. She was not feeling well today, so the dinner would be postponed to tomorrow. The next time would be a sure thing.

Why are you having dinner with others?

Lu Bei didn't understand and asked: "It's the first time we meet. I dare to ask my sister's name."

"Mr. Lu, you're welcome. I'm a newbie and I can't bear to be called sister."

The housekeeper introduced herself. Her surname was Ruan and her given name was Bai Yu. She entered the palace as a maid when she was young and followed Zhu Qilan. Later, Zhu Qilan settled here and was deeply trusted. He was given the surname Zhu and managed all matters inside and outside Changming Mansion.

Entered the palace since childhood and followed Zhu Qilan for many years...

It turns out to be Aunt Yu, so polite!

Lu Bei accurately captured the key words and raised his hand: "It turns out to be Butler Yu. Sister Yu is polite. I have another question. Listening to what Sister Yu just said, after the perverts outside greeted them, the person they met was not my cousin. , but you, Sister Yu?”

"cousin?"

Now it was Butler Yu's turn to be surprised and asked in confusion: "May I ask Mr. Lu, who is the cousin you are talking about?"

"That's your Highness!"

Lu Bei looked like an honest man: "I reluctantly said goodbye to my cousin last time. After I went back, I didn't think about food or food. I was surprised to find the call of my blood. I took advantage of the New Year to visit relatives and friends, and finally found out among the relatives of Lao Zhu's family. After understanding the reason, rounding it all off, we are actually one family."

Butler Yu: "..."

It is confirmed that this is the person who is exactly the same as His Highness told him.

"Sister Yu, it's your turn."

"Didn't you ask Mr. Lu before he came?"

Butler Yu chuckled softly: "A group of young and talented people wanted to see His Highness's beauty. She was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to refuse, so I came forward on my behalf. I am a weak woman and I am troubled with chores in the house. I really don't have that much time, so I have to go with you." They made a three-part agreement to have lunch with the person with the highest number of invitations every day. If there is someone with excellent character and talent, they will be introduced to His Highness."

"Has anyone seen it?"

"Every three to five months, when His Highness has nothing to do, he will choose someone he can beat to meet." Butler Yu replied with a smile.

"Wonderful!"

Lu Bei said in admiration: "My cousin is very good at business and has made a lot of money over the years. Lu admires her."

Butler Yu: "..."

He looked at the shameless Lu Bei curiously and wondered why Zhu Qilan told him alone that if this person came to visit, he could be taken in directly.

Is it possible...

His Highness has finally figured it out and wants to choose a husband for himself?

Probably not, it’s not like there are no men in the world anymore, His Highness’s vision is not that bad.

After thinking about it, she felt that Zhu Qilan's hands were itchy, so she made an appointment with a sandbag to come to her house for a discussion.

…

In the Changming Mansion, Butler Yu led Lu Bei for five minutes, passing through the outer mansion first, walking through the garden and then entering the inner mansion. Although he did not express it in words, he proved with actual actions that the rich woman's family property was not worth a billion.

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will invite His Highness over." At the pavilion of the waterside pavilion, Butler Yu ordered his servants to bring fruit tea and bowed to leave.

"Bai Yu, I think senior brother will like this name very much."

Speaking of senior brother, Lu Bei glanced outside the waterside pavilion and saw the koi looking over. Aba Aba opened his mouth and shook his head in disappointment.

It's a pity that you can't hit two shots in a pool of good water.

After a while, Butler Yu hurriedly came and led Lu Bei towards the quiet room, with a slightly anxious look on his face.

"Your Highness has failed to achieve a breakthrough in luck, and there is a risk of demonic thoughts invading. She said that Mr. Lu can help tide over the difficulties..." Butler Yu spoke quickly. When Lu Bei came to the door of the quiet room, he took down the defensive formation and led the people directly. Go in.

In the darkness, a pair of bright eyes slowly opened, and the female voice was slightly lazy and hoarse.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Um."
