Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

The welcome was so grand that all the officials in the city knew that Guan Shanyue was returning to Wudu.

However, with so many officials, both big and small, gathered together, the process became a bit complicated. It took nearly a quarter of an hour just to enter the city gate.

Later, everyone followed the welcoming team to the Qingzhou government office, where Guan Shanyue and other officials actually started talking about the war.

What everyone was discussing was not something Lu You and the others could listen in on, so Guan Shanyue asked Wen Xiuyuan to arrange for Lu You and the others to rest first.

The place for dining and accommodation was arranged directly in the Wen Mansion, which shows how much Wen Xiuyuan values ​​Guan Shanyue.

"Miss Lu, the bath water is ready, you can come over anytime."

In the room, a maid said with great respect.

Lu You was holding half a roast chicken and taking big bites of it. When he heard the maid's words, he pointed to the house across the yard.

"Which house is it?"

"Yes." The maid nodded.

"Got it." Lu You said with a smile: "Go and help me see if there is any meat left in the kitchen. As long as it is edible, bring it all to me."

The maid was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she bowed and said with a smile.

"Miss Lu, you are joking. There is a lot of meat in our Wen Mansion kitchen. If we take all of it, it would be at least more than a hundred kilograms."

Hearing this, Lu You was also a little confused: "Then we don't need that much, another two or three pounds of meat will be enough."

"What would Miss Lu like to eat?" the maid asked again, "I'll tell the kitchen to make it right away."

"Then stir-fry three pounds of meat. If you have deer blood and ginseng, you can also add some to it for me. It's better to do it quickly."

Following Lu You's instructions, the maid turned and left.

Widow Zhou, who was standing by, saw that Lu You had finished the tea in his cup, so she hurriedly poured him another cup.

"Slow down, you're so hungry, why didn't you eat more when you were having dinner just now?"

Lu You took the tea bowl, raised his head and poured the whole cup of herbal tea into his mouth.

"Didn't you see what happened just now?"

"We were invited to dinner by seven people, but there were more than 20 officials accompanying us."

"If I eat and drink excessively at that dinner party, wouldn't that bring shame to Lao Guan and Uncle Zhao?"

You are eating so voraciously in Wen Mansion now, it seems like you don’t leave much face for everyone, right?

Lu Yi muttered to himself, but his expression was very calm.

"Second sister, are you sure it's okay to eat like this?"

"This is still not enough food." Lu You spat out a chicken bone and said casually: "I have broken through to the inner strength realm, and I need a lot of food and medicinal herbs to temper my internal organs."

There were only three of them sitting in the room, so there was no need for Lu You to hide it.

Widow Zhou didn't know much about martial arts, so she didn't react much when she heard the news of Lu You's breakthrough.

But Lu Yi is different.

Not only had he read the Zuojia boxing routine compiled by Lu You, he also understood the methods of practicing martial arts.

He also knew that his second sister had only traveled through time a month and a half ago and did not have any foundation in martial arts at all.

"You have completed the training of external muscles and bones in such a short time?" Lu Yi asked in shock.

Lu You looked up at Lu Yi and said, "Yes and no, my breakthrough to the inner strength realm was at most a coincidence. If I hadn't been able to break through, I would have been the one who died."

Lu You couldn't bear to mention the events of Songpo Village and simply mentioned it in one sentence.

Lu Yi didn't dwell on this issue too much. He was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Second sister, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Lu You asked curiously.

"Can you please not bring me along when you do these things to pay respect to your godfather in the future?" Lu Yi said solemnly, "It's too embarrassing. I can't do it."

Hearing this, Lu Yi reluctantly put down the roast chicken in his hand.

"Xiao Yi, do you know how big of an opportunity we missed today?"

"Do you think that recognizing me as your grandpa was something I did on a whim?"

Lu Yi frowned upon hearing this: "What else?"

"Let me tell you this. Ever since I learned about Lao Guan's great influence in the court, I have been thinking about how to get on top of him."

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +60, +60, +60...]

Listening to the prompt in his mind, Lu You spoke slowly.

"In fact, I started to test Lao Guan's reaction when I first called him grandpa in Pingchang County."

"After all, although I saved Lao Guan when we were fighting our way out of Qingshi City, it was mainly to save myself. He was just a helper."

"I always mention the two times I saved my life, but the first time was a little reluctant."

"I was just playing around with Lao Guan all the way until Hu Laojiu and I killed the bandits and the escorts from the Golden Horse Escort Agency in the morning. Only then did I see an opportunity."

Speaking of this, Lu You couldn't help but sigh.

"We were just one step away. If my sister and I had really knelt down and called him grandpa, we would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives."

"I won't kneel!" Lu Yi said solemnly, "I have studied the books of sages and saints since I was young, and I have followed the way of a gentleman. I would rather break than bend in this life!"

You have a photographic memory, so why bother studying so hard?

Lu You rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"No one wants to make you gay, they just kneel down and kowtow a few times."

"Even if you feel disgusted by this behavior, it will pass in a moment, but once you recognize this grandfather, the convenience it brings will last a lifetime!"

"This world is so chaotic, we can't give up money and power just for the sake of dignity and face, right?"

"That won't work either!" Lu Yi stood up and said, "I have hands and feet, I can get what I want..."

"Stop!"

Lu You waved his hand to stop Lu Yi's impassioned speech.

"Can you make money now, or can you be an official?"

"We farmers can endure hardships, but you can't just endure it without any hardship, can you?"

"You don't want to be promoted by worshipping a grandfather, but you insist that we get up early and work late to sell cakes to make money, so that you will be happy?"

Seeing that Lu You and his sister were getting more and more excited, Widow Zhou quickly stood up and refilled Lu You's tea.

"Alright, alright, what you two siblings said makes sense."

"We are living in the Wen Mansion now. If we quarrel over such a small matter, I'm afraid we will be laughed at."

As she spoke, Widow Zhou reached out and tugged at Lu Yi's sleeve, signaling him with her eyes to sit down quickly.

"Besides, didn't Mr. Guan give you a jade pendant given by Emperor Wu? I think this jade pendant is also very useful."

Hearing this, Lu You took out the jade pendant and threw it on the table.

"This is a jade pendant, not a gold medal of immunity from death."

"It does show that we have a close relationship with Guan Shanyue, but we are still ordinary people."

"People respect us, and we are ladies and gentlemen."

"If someone is angry, we can always be thieves who steal the jade pendant!"
