"Eldest Young Master is back! Eldest Young Master is back!" Lu Su finally had time to return to his residence. When he arrived at the Lu Clan's residence, the entire Lu Clan was in an uproar. In the past, they were proud of Lu Su because his friends were either the Viceroy or the Second Young Master. It can be said that because of Lu Su, the Lu Clan was one of the top clans in Jiangdong. However, ever since the Second Young Master went to war, there was no news of Lu Su.
Sun Quan brought back news that Lu Su was killed. At that time, the Old Master of the Lu family almost fainted. He only had one son. If he was killed in Yangzhou, the Lu family would be completely ruined.
Fortunately, there was news of Lu Su. Not only was he alive, but he had also reached the peak of Yangzhou's civil officials. Apart from Internal Minister Xu Shu, he was only second to one person.
Other than the Minister of the Six Ministries and the Commander of the Army, all the other officials were under Lu Su's jurisdiction. The mission of the Ministry of Personnel was to evaluate the officials every year. If the evaluation was excellent, then congratulations. If there was a vacancy, then the official could be promoted. If the evaluation was poor, then there would be no problem for one year. If the evaluation was for two or three years, then sorry, the official would either resign, or be transferred to a less important position or be sent to the grassroots.
Therefore, who in Yangzhou did not give gifts to our Lu Su, Minister Lu? If you offend Lu Su, you won't even know how you died.
Now that Lu Su was in Jiangdong, it was like returning home in glory.
"Eldest Young Master!" Along the way, all the people and servants of the Lu family greeted Lu Su. Lu Su also responded to them one by one. The Eldest Young Master of the Lu family had always been kind. He was also very warm.
"Eldest Young Master, you are back!" Just as Lu Su was greeting them, an old man walked over and called out to Lu Su.
"Uncle He!" Lu Su saw the old man who was called Uncle He by Lu Su. He was the housekeeper of the Lu family. He had been with Lu Su since he was a child. He had watched Lu Su grow up. Therefore, Lu Su never treated Uncle He as an outsider.
Housekeeper He looked at Lu Su with gratification.
"Where's Father?" Lu Su asked the butler beside him.
"Master is in the inner room," Uncle He said to Lu Su. "He's waiting for you."
"Then I'll go first. Uncle He, these are His Highness the King Of Shu's men. They are my colleagues. Uncle He, help me entertain them. " Lu Su said to Uncle He. Now that they were in the Lu family, Lu Su was considered the host. Naturally, he had to treat his guests with respect.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this to your Uncle He. Hurry up and go see Master. "Uncle He said to Lu Su with a smile.
"Okay!" Lu Su nodded and walked into the inner room.
"Come, everyone. You are all the young master's colleagues and friends of our Lu family. Come, this way please." Uncle He treated them very well. Yang Chen and others naturally did not dare to be arrogant and left with Uncle He.
The Lu family's Lu residence was a place where Lu Su had stayed for more than ten years. It could be said that Lu Su was very familiar with every blade of grass and every tree here. However, he did not know why, when he entered this place, he felt that he could not move his feet.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Su saw a familiar house and could not help but quicken his pace.
"Ka ka!" The wooden door always made a sound when it was pushed open. An old man was sitting on a chair inside, holding a book in his hand. Hearing the sound of the door, Lu Su wanted to say something but did not know what to say.
"You're back." The old man broke the silence and spoke first. "It's good that you're back. Where's Old He? Let him go to the kitchen and prepare your favorite sweet and sour crucian carp."
"Father!" Listening to his father's words, Lu Su finally could not hold back the tears in his eyes and directly flowed out. Lu Su plopped down beside his old father. "Father, this child is unfilial. I was not able to accompany you by your side, nor was I able to send you any letters. This child is unfilial. Father, please punish me." Lu Su lowered his head deeply.
"Silly child, it's good that you're back. There is no punishment. If you want to be punished, then today's punishment is to accompany this old man and drink a few more cups." Lu Su's father, Lu Taigong, was not a simple person. Back then, the Lu family was from Linhuai and was also a noble family in Linhuai. However, Lu Taigong could see that the world was in chaos and should have prepared a way out early. At that time, Linhuai was under the rule of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu even offered Lu Taigong the position of Governor of Linhuai. However, Lu Taigong refused because he could see that Yuan Shu was not a successful person. Rather than be tied to the Yuan family and eventually perish together with the Yuan family, it was better to move away early.
Therefore, the Lu family abandoned a large amount of assets and prepared to move east to Jiangdong. The Lu family had a few warehouses of provisions in Linhuai. There was too much to take with them, so Lu Taigong planned to give some to Zhou Yu who had a good relationship with Lu Su. At that time, Zhou Yu was the leader of Ju Chao. It was because of this wave of provisions that Zhou Yu was able to quickly gather an elite army to help Sun Ce.
Therefore, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were very grateful for Lu Su's kindness. As for the provisions, Lu Taigong directly opened up the granary and gave it all to the local people. At that time, the provisions were still very valuable.
As a result, the Lu family's reputation in the local area was unlimited. When the Lu family wanted to move east, Yuan Shu did not allow them to do so. They wanted to use force, but the people who were grateful to the Lu family helped them. This allowed the Lu family to smoothly move east. Even many people in Linhuai followed the Lu family to Jiangdong. It was because of this that no one dared to look down on the Lu family when they were in Jiangdong. In addition, they had previously helped Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in their hour of need. Therefore, the Lu family quickly gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong. Therefore, Lu Taigong was not to be underestimated.
Lu Taigong also knew that his son was in a difficult position. He was now the Minister of Personnel in Yangzhou. He was a minister under the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. If he sent a letter to the Lu family, it would not bring benefits to the Lu family. Instead, it would bring disaster to the Lu family. After all, Jiangdong and Yangzhou were enemies at that time. If they knew that Lu Su was working for the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, they would destroy the Lu family.
Even if they had Zhou Yu, it would not be enough. Now that Jiangdong was completely defeated, it was basically impossible for them to go to war with Yangzhou. Therefore, Lu Su could return to Jiangdong to visit the Lu family. If anyone in Jiangdong dared to make a move against the Lu family, unless they did not want to live anymore, once Yangzhou recovered Jiangdong, Lu Su, the Minister of Personnel, did not even need to do it himself. His subordinates could do it.
"Master, the banquet is ready. We are just waiting for you and Young Master." Housekeeper He's voice came from outside the door.
"Good, we will be there soon!" Lu Taigong replied.
"Father, let me help you." Lu Su said to his father.
"Young Master, let us do it." Housekeeper He said to Lu Su.
"Hm?" Lu Su frowned. It was rare for him to come back and help his father. Was this not filial piety? Uncle He, why do you have to stop me?
Housekeeper He looked at his Young Master frowning. Of course, he knew what his Young Master was thinking. He could not help but smile bitterly. "Young Master, it is not that I do not want you to help the Old Master. It is that you are unable to help him." Lu Su saw that there were two strong servants behind Housekeeper He. They did not come forward to help the Old Master. Instead, they came forward to set up a stool. The stool and the Old Master were set up together.
"Father, this?" Lu Su seemed to have thought of something. He could not help but widen his eyes as he looked at his father in disbelief.
"Hehe, Su 'er, your father is old. My bones are no longer as strong as they used to be. It's already not bad that I was able to persevere until you came back. It's just that my legs can't walk anymore. That's nothing." The old man said cheerfully.
"Your legs cannot walk?" Wasn't that paralyzed? Lu Su's heart ached.
"Young Master, ever since you disappeared, the Old Master has been washing his face with tears. His legs also became paralyzed at that time." Housekeeper He sighed and told his Young Master. When the old man heard that Lu Su had been killed in Yangzhou, he fainted. When he woke up, he was already like this. He could no longer move his legs. This was the concern of an old father for his son.
"Father, I, I!" Lu Su fell to his knees again. He knelt beside his father, not knowing what to say. Fortunately, Lu Su came back in time. If something happened to Old Grandfather Lu, Lu Su would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
"Su 'er, this has nothing to do with you. It is good that you are back. In the future, our family will be reunited. This is better than anything! Alright, today is your big day. Let's go to the front hall. We can't let those guests and your colleagues wait anxiously. " The Venerable Grandfather was very open-minded. What glory, splendor, wealth and rank? For Venerable Grandfather Lu, the only thing he wanted was for his son to be safe and sound, and for the Lu Clan to live in harmony. This was better than anything else.
"En!" Lu Su sobbed. He could only wipe away his tears. "Uncle He, let me do it!"
"En?" Uncle He was a bit stunned. Didn't he say that it was hard for a young master to move a person and a stool?
"Although the stool is heavy, I can still carry my father!" Lu Su said to Housekeeper He with a smile on his face.
"This?" Steward He looked at his young master and then looked at Grandfather Lu on the side.
"Forget it. Old He, let him carry you." Old Master Lu waved his hand and said. It was rare for his son to be by his side.
"Yes ~!" Housekeeper He nodded.
At the side, Lu Su bent down beside his old father. The old man lay on Lu Su's back, and Lu Su carried his father on his back. Although his father was not heavy, this fatherly love was very heavy. It made Lu Su unable to breathe. He owed his father too much.
Old Master Lu told Lu Su about Lu Su's childhood. Lu Su wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. The banquet quickly began. Although there were no singing and dancing, this banquet was very fulfilling. Because it contained true love, there was no pretense.
