"Uh...I was thinking that for us modern people, the elevator is the only way to climb the stairs, and the car is the only way to go out. It would be annoying to take two extra steps, but the ancients still lived interestingly."

"Look, for a good bridge, the straight-line distance from one end to the other is only a dozen meters, but it has to be like this, turning every three steps and turning every two steps."

"I think what they care more about is not efficiency and the final goal, but being able to stop and enjoy the scenery in the pool while reaching the destination..."

Hearing this, Lu Beicheng raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked with a smile, "Do you like it here?"

"Yes, I like it." Jiang Ruyi nodded fiercely.

She jumped onto the hand-width white marble bridge railing, stretched out her hands to maintain balance, and walked forward lightly.

Like a clever cat.

"Naughty." Lu Beicheng was willing to indulge her, but he was also afraid that she would fall off accidentally.

The lake water is cool in winter.

He could only reach out and hold her right hand and walk forward step by step.

When I reached the next corner, I couldn't help but hug the person down.

Still in my arms, I feel most at ease.

"Hahaha...Okay, I won't leave, please let me down." Jiang Ruyi hugged the man's neck and acted coquettishly.

"There's no one here, I'll carry you in."

The Zhuangyuan Pavilion is built along the water. It is a typical garden within a garden. It was built specifically for the first Zhuangyuan man from the Lu family.

Later, other promising children also lived there one after another.

However, after several generations of renovations, it has changed a lot from its original appearance.

The most eye-catching thing is the Zhuangyuan Building facing us. It has three floors and is the only tall building in the garden.

The Zhuangyuan Building has a majestic appearance, and the first floor is arranged in the style of an ancient reception room.

On the second floor, there is a study room, in which the four treasures of the study, such as pens, inks, papers and inkstones, are neatly placed.

On the third floor, there is a smaller exhibition hall, where the calligraphy treasures of the Lu family's patriarchs and great Confucians are hung.

Many of them are messages of encouragement to younger generations.

With earnest instruction.

Jiang Ruyi looked around. The window glass was inlaid with stained glass, depicting mythological stories and auspicious patterns such as the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, pine plumes and double cranes.

Judging from the appearance, they should all be cultural relics from the previous dynasty.

She wondered whether her ancestors a hundred years ago were like them now, silently talking to their ancestors across the distance of time.

Feel the power of family inheritance!

Unknown emotions surged in Jiang Ruyi's heart. For the first time, she realized deeply what kind of family she had married into.

She turned around and hugged Lu Beicheng's waist, raised her head and said seriously, "Brother Cheng, believe me, I will definitely work hard to be a good Mrs. Lu."

Not only for herself, but also for her three babies.

Be a good example.

Lu Beicheng lowered his head and looked at the twinkling light in her eyes. He just wondered why this little woman was so lovable.

He originally thought that he had already been very affectionate towards her.

But he didn't expect that this woman was capable of making him feel that he didn't love her enough.

I want to love her even more.

"Mrs. Lu, you are already very good..."

The rest of the words were lost between Lu Beicheng's lips and hers...

He has never been greedy, and all he has ever wanted is this little angel.

……

It was early in the morning on the day of ancestor worship.

Jiang Ruyi stood together with Yao Lingyu, making her official appearance as the master.

God is kind to me today, the weather is not bad.

Although it is winter, the sun is shining brightly, and the air is filled with the fresh smell of flowers and vegetation.

Refreshing.

But Jiang Ruyi's nerves were extremely tense, for fear of something going wrong.

There are many people coming back, and not everyone can live in the garden, so Jiang Ruyi only met a small number of people yesterday.

Those who came today are the big troops.

Yao Lingyu patted her stiff body and said with a smile, "Relax, everyone knows that you are the new wife in the first year and will not laugh at you."

"Besides, the ancestor worship process and items are all ready, and there are people watching every step. There won't be any problems. Just follow me and recognize the person."

"Thank you, Mom."

Jiang Ruyi smiled back, but she never dared to let go of the tension in her heart.

She made two small mistakes just now, but Yao Lingyu corrected them in time.

She couldn't let her guard down.

She is the wife of the heir to the Lu family and the mother of the next generation of heirs. She cannot embarrass Lu Beicheng and the babies.

……

Today, even if Lu Beicheng wanted to, he couldn't spare the time to help Jiang Ruyi.

Before going to bed last night, Lu Beicheng told her, "Tomorrow, you and Mom will mainly deal with the women and children of the clan."

"Don't be too nervous, just maintain basic courtesy."

"Anyway, many people only meet once every few years, so don't take it too seriously."

"I may have to stay with my grandfather and father the whole time tomorrow to deal with those tribesmen who have competing interests."

"The Lu family has flourished under my grandfather's hands. The fields it has been involved in and its market value have increased countless times."

"Many of the tribesmen from the branch have been around for too many generations, and not all of them are from wealthy families. Many of them, the whole family, refer to the Lu family's trust fund and stock dividends for life."

"So every collective ancestor worship ceremony is also an opportunity for them to fight for their own interests in the next few years..."

"You don't need to understand these, just know that there is such a thing."

"If any female family member comes to you to inquire or complain in a vague way, you will always explain it clearly. There is nothing you can do..."

After saying that, Lu Beicheng sighed.

Every time there was a collective ancestor worship in the past, he could see the light of greed in the eyes of those people.

Everyone wished they could suck more blood from Mr. Lu.

Many people probably still think that their master's family is too thin, and now in his generation, there is only one seedling in Lu Beicheng.

She is almost thirty, and there are no signs of getting married and having children.

He must be muttering in his heart that it would be best for him, Lu Beicheng, not to get married and have children for the rest of his life. They might even be able to live in poverty in the future.

But in less than a year this year, Lu Beicheng slapped many people.

He quickly married and had three children in his lifetime.

Tomorrow, how much of those people's flattery is sincere and how much is false...

Only they know it in their own hearts.

This is why Lu Beicheng was determined to start his own business.

As the family grows, there are a lot of troubles.

The entanglement of interests is so deep that it is like a mess and cannot be clearly separated.

This has bothered him the most since he was a child, but he had to deal with it.

……

The Lu family's ancestor worship ceremony was very grand.

This time, a relative who is one generation older than Mr. Lu returned from North America.

His name is Lu Yunzhang.

He is the youngest brother of Mr. Lu's father and his biological uncle. He always calls him "uncle" after meeting him.

Lu Yunzhang wanted to come back as much as possible while his body could still move. He didn't know if he would have the strength next time.

Lu Yunzhang was one of the first people to study abroad. Later, he also served in national foreign affairs positions for many years. After retirement, he settled abroad.

He has been operating overseas for many years and was lucky enough to seize two major productivity reform opportunities.

Therefore, Lu Yunzhang's own strength is no different from that of the Lu family's own.

He is considered a very prestigious person in the entire Lu family.
