Return to the capital

Time flies into the twelfth lunar month.

During this period, Cheng Lixue and others came back and forth to Chengyuan Villa several times, staying for four or five days each time.

"Miss, everything is packed."

"Then let's go."

Lu Yaoyao took the fox fur hood from Qiu Shuang, put it on and walked out.

Today is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the situation this year is different from previous years. In the past years, she spent the New Year alone in the villa.

Now that everyone in the Lu family has arrived in the capital, the old man sent someone with a letter a few days ago urging her to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Three carriages set off from Chengyuan Villa in a mighty manner.

Lu Yaoyao's master and servant were sitting on the first carriage. The two carriages behind were filled with some of Lu Yaoyao's daily needs and gadgets that he often used.

In the capital, the Lu family was also very lively at this time.

Everyone knew that Lu Yaoyao was coming back today. Early in the morning, Zhao and Yuan called for people to tidy up the yard.

"Old Master, the princess has arrived."

A servant trotted to the main courtyard.

"Okay, let's go and pick up Yaoyao."

Mr. Lu stood up with a smile and led Lu Xiu and brother Lu Kang out.

"It's been really cold this winter."

In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Hongwen sat on a sofa and read the memorials, with a stove beside him.

Wang De was waiting on him while holding the pen and ink.

"It was indeed quite cold, but fortunately nothing serious happened."

"Well, it's all thanks to Wanfu's clever plan, otherwise I wouldn't have been so relaxed recently."

The temperature this winter is very low, especially in the past ten days or so, it has been snowing heavily here in Beijing.

The memorial from the north also stated that the snow in the north this year was very heavy.

The number of victims was increasing, but fortunately the court had already prepared food and money, so there was no big trouble.

"She should come back to the capital soon, right?"

"I think so. Everyone in the Lu family is in the capital this year, so she will definitely come back to celebrate the New Year."

"Well, you ask someone to inquire about it. If she comes back, you go to the warehouse to select some good leathers and send them over."

Wang De responded with a smile.

"Miss, Hou Si is back."

Lu Yaoyao had just settled in the Lu family here when Qiu Shuang walked in from outside.

"Where are the people?"

"I haven't come here yet. I'm currently at Baizhen Tower."

Hou Si was the chief intelligence officer she arranged in the dark, and he was also a former emperor's guard who should have been executed, so he could only hide in the darkness all these years.

Especially in the capital city.

"During this period, he heard that it was hard work and told him to rest first and I would go over to see him tomorrow."

Qiu Shuang nodded and retreated.

Ever since she unexpectedly learned last time that Wang De knew her mother and Emperor Hongwen also knew her, she had some guesses in her mind.

Originally I didn't plan to find trouble for myself, but after thinking about it later, I thought it would be better to investigate some things.

At least you have to be aware of it.

It was not like she had never thought of using scanning skills directly on Emperor Hongwen.

But what made her very depressed was that scanning Emperor Hongwen actually required nearly 100,000 points.

She was shocked at that time.

When she first used the scan, she only needed 500 points. She thought everyone only needed 500 points.

However, she tried it several times later and found that not everyone got 500 every time.

This value is uncertain.

Some people only need less than five hundred, while others need more than five hundred. Even when they scanned King Jin, they didn't use one thousand.

I never thought that Emperor Hongwen would need close to 100,000.

You must know that she only upgraded the universal search engine when she was in Jiangdong, and her points were basically exhausted.

Later, because it was winter, she had not had time to do many things, so she could not accumulate points. Now she only has less than 3,000 points.

Judging from the difficulty in obtaining points in the past, it is not known how long it will take to collect the points for scanning Emperor Hongwen.

Therefore, she could only ask Hou Si to use the most primitive methods to investigate bit by bit and look for clues.

The next day, after Lu Yaoyao had breakfast, he had a conversation with the old man and then left the house to Baizhen Tower.

Hou Si has been waiting here early.

Seeing her arrival, Hou Si quickly stood up and saluted.

"You don't need to be polite to me, just sit down."

"This trip has been hard."

"It's not hard for me to do things for you."

Hou Si respected his master Lu Yaoyao very much.

Not only because of Dr. Lin's life-saving grace, but also because Lu Yaoyao treated the people under him with great kindness and respect.

Although she is a master and servant, she, the master, always treats her subordinates as friends when they get along with each other.

He will always do many things to make things better for his subordinates.

Let’s just say Hou Si.

He is not alone, he also has a wife and children, but he has always hidden it very deeply.

Since they followed Lu Yaoyao together, his wife and son would receive a large sum of money every month, and Lu Yaoyao would send a copy of whatever new gadgets the villa had.

Although they are all small things, they can often warm people's hearts. Especially in this feudal system, if the master can do this, it will definitely make his subordinates burst into tears.

"Tell me, what did you find?"

Hou Si nodded quickly and explained everything he had investigated.

"My subordinates are incompetent and can only investigate these things. Please punish me, Miss."

He really didn't find much in his investigation this time. He just found out that Lu Yunjun did meet Emperor Hongwen, but he didn't find out whether the two had any friendship after that.

"Get up quickly. I feel very sorry for letting you go for a trip in this winter."

"Actually, I don't have high hopes for this matter, after all, it's been so long."

As soon as Lu Yaoyao opened his mouth, Qiu Shuang quickly pulled up thousands of Hou Si to his feet.

"Okay, it's almost the New Year's Day. You've been out doing things for me this year and haven't had much time to go back to spend time with your wife and children. Now I'll give you a holiday and go back and spend time with your wife and children."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Shuang took out a purse and handed it over.

"The lady knew that your eldest son was about to get married and it was not convenient for her to go there in person, so she prepared some congratulatory gifts in advance."

Hearing this, Hou Si quickly waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss, for thinking about me. You have given enough to your subordinates over the years, how can I ask for anything from you again."

"Didn't I just say that? They are all family members."

"To put it bluntly, we are friends, and your son is also my descendant. How can we not prepare a gift for something like an engagement?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled.

"The subordinate thanked the young lady for the reward on Quanzi's behalf."

"Don't be so polite."

"By the way, after the Chinese New Year, there will be a lot of action here at the Villa, which will require a lot of manpower. Do you think you should arrange for your wife and children to come over?"

"Firstly, you are helping me with some business matters, and secondly, when they arrive at the villa, you can always get together with them when you have nothing to do."

"What do you think?"
