After Lu Yu came to the main hall and met his grandfather, he was led by Zhang Feng and Qian Rong to their courtyard in the Duke's Mansion.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that the original Wutong Garden had become Dewu Garden.

Zhang Feng laughed as he looked at it. "This name has a good connotation. It is more meaningful than Wutong Garden."

The maids and old women who were still tidying up the yard lowered their heads guiltily when they heard this, but they didn't dare let anyone know the true meaning of the name of the garden.

Xiao Yuer nodded without any guilt. It was indeed a much better idea than Wutongyuan.

The phoenix roosts on the wutong tree, but she doesn't want to be a phoenix. What she wants is to step on the phoenix and knock it down.

After a round, Zhang Feng sincerely praised the maids and servants of Dewu Garden, "Xiao Yu'er, your maids and servants are really efficient. Almost everything has been cleaned up."

Qian Rong also praised, "These are all members of the Qin family. It turns out that the Qin family can become the richest family because of their vision."

Lu Yuyu nodded proudly and said seriously, "Indeed, they are all very powerful."

“My grandparents had a unique vision, and my grandparents also learned a little bit.”

After staying for a while, Zhang Feng prepared to leave. As the mistress, she was quite busy.

Before leaving, he told Lu Yu, "Xiao Yu'er, come to the front hall to eat tonight. First, to welcome our Xiao Yu'er, and second, to meet the brothers and sisters in the mansion."

Lu Yu nodded his head and said yes.

In the afternoon, Lu Qingfeng, Lu Qingci, and Lu Jiabao all returned from Wenchang Academy. They knew yesterday that their third uncle's youngest daughter would come to live in the Duke's Mansion.

This time when he came back, he planned to go see this little sister, but was stopped by Zhang Feng.

"You don't have to go now. You can see it at dinner later."

When the three heard this, they gave up their plans to go there and went back to their houses to pick out gifts.

At the same time, in Dewu Garden, Nanny Dong was also thinking about what gift to prepare.

Lu Yu held his chin and looked at Nanny Dong who was mumbling to herself.

"The Duke seems to like magical weapons. Why don't we give the Qingfeng sword that was my daughter's dowry to him?"

"The prince likes calligraphy and painting, so why not give Aunt Yun a painting."

"Second Young Master likes...likes..." Nanny Dong didn't know what Lu Chuan liked for a moment, so she turned around and looked at Lu Ping, "What does Second Young Master like?"

Lu Ping playfully imitated the tiger's roar.

Nanny Dong's face changed. Yes, the second young master had some special hobbies. He loved to raise all kinds of ferocious beasts.

I'm in a dilemma. Where can I catch the wild beast?

Skipping this for now, Nanny Dong started to mutter again, "The Crown Prince's wife is a lady from a famous family, she is very well-behaved, and her preferences are unknown, so you can give her a set of headgear in a proper manner."

"Second Young Master's wife Qian Rong is the daughter of a military commander. I heard she can wield a whip, so why not give her a better whip?"

"There should be a whip in the master's collection." She looked at Lu Yu, "Miss, pick one out."

Lu Yu nodded his little head.

"Next are the young lady's two brothers and one sister."

"Both young masters are seven years old and are studying. It is hard to tell what children of this age like or dislike. Why not give them some writing brushes, inkstones, and paper?"

"Miss Jiayi from the second house is six years old and is also studying. However, since she is a girl, it is not appropriate to give her writing brushes, inkstones, and paper. It is better to give her some nice jewelry."

Nanny Dong looked at Lu Yu and said, "Young lady, do you think this is okay?"

Lu Yu sat up straight and stretched, "Madame Dong, my two brothers and sisters don't know what they like, so don't give them gifts. Just give them banknotes and let them buy whatever they like."

When Nanny Dong heard this, she felt that it was inappropriate. She thought that giving the banknotes directly would be too vulgar and seem disrespectful.

"Young lady, send me a banknote..."

Lu Yu waved his hand, "It's settled, 1800 taels per person."

When Nanny Dong heard this number, she felt a pang in her heart but she no longer objected.

With so many gifts, who dares to say it's tacky or disrespectful?

Lu Yu walked out of the door and called Lin Ruquan, and Lin Ruquan fell down from the tree.

"Go to a place called Shanhuai Village outside the capital and find a man named Liang Laogui. Buy the eight pigeons from him and bring them back."

After receiving the order, Lin Ruquan disappeared.

Lu Yu knew that his second uncle Lu Chuan did not like birds of prey, but liked all spiritual animals and birds.

In the book, the eight pigeons of Old Man Liang finally fell into the hands of his second uncle, but they were delivered to him by Lu Jiabao.

In the book, everyone in the Duke's Mansion dotes on Lu Jiabao.

The reason why she did what they wanted was not to please them, but simply to pay the expensive rent so that she would not feel like a dependent.

After this, no matter what happens, if they finally stand on Lu Jiabao's side, she will not hate them.

After all, Lu Jiabao is also their niece and granddaughter.

But if they helped Lu Jiabao deal with her, she would also strike back without mercy.

At the hour of You, Zhang Feng sent someone to invite Lu Yu to the front hall. Lu Yu went to the front hall with Lu Guo and four maids.

As soon as he entered, he found that there were a lot of people. Lu Yu didn't recognize the extra people, but he could guess who they were.

Probably the family of my grandfather’s brother Lu Jingrong. Lu Jingrong is the eldest son of Mr. Lu, that is, Lu Yu’s great-grandfather.

Born into a family like the Lu family, Lu Jingrong has been rich since childhood, which has made him lazy and unwilling to make progress. He just eats, drinks and has fun every day.

Up to now, he only holds a fifth-rank idle position, and this idle position was arranged for him by Lu Jingmo.

However, it must be said that although Lu Jingrong is not very ambitious, his two sons and two daughters are very ambitious.

The eldest son, Lu Hai, passed the imperial examination on his own and is now a fourth-rank academician in the Hanlin Academy.

He married Sun Niaoniao, who was the daughter of the imperial tutor of the dynasty. She was well-educated and talented, a rare woman of talent.

The second son, Lu Kong, is currently a General of the Central Army in the military camp, but has not yet married.

The eldest daughter, Lu Qing, married Gu Xun of the Gu family. Gu Xun was not only the heir of the Gu family, but also a famous nobleman in Kyoto, with outstanding literary talent and martial arts.

Now they have a son and a daughter.

The youngest daughter, Lu Rui, got married last year and became a concubine to Prince Xin. She has no children yet.

Lu Yu had no good feelings towards the person in front of him. Compared to the people in the Duke's Mansion who only doted on Lu Jiabao, this family was completely a knife in Lu Jiabao's hand.

"It's really rude. A junior is making so many elders wait."

The sudden accusation made Lu Yu narrow her eyes. She looked at the person who was speaking. Judging from her clothes and sitting position, this should be the wife of her grandfather's brother, her great aunt Liu.

Liu was Liu Yuzhu's aunt from the next room and had a very harmonious relationship with Liu Yuzhu's parents.

"Aunt, my niece-in-law didn't tell Lu Yu the time, so she didn't know what time it was. It's not her fault that she's late. If anyone is to blame, it's my niece-in-law for not informing me in advance."

Zhang Feng explained with a smile, but she felt really sick in her heart. Originally, it was just their branch that was having a meal, but who would have thought that the eldest branch of the family would come uninvited.
