Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

at the same time.

On the calm lake in the eastern suburbs of the capital, a painted pleasure boat with carved beams and painted rafters was slowly sailing towards them from the opposite bank.

The willows on the shore drooped and swayed in the breeze.

The emerald green water was pushed aside by the pointed bow of the boat, and the shimmering light was reflected from the boat. The occasional laughter and joyful chatter from the boat stirred up the spring water.

Lu Liluo was wearing a bright red brocade robe, with his eyes slightly lowered, and was leaning casually on the chaise longue.

The wide neckline and cuffs hang naturally to one side, and the thick fabric is edged with black and purple patterns, making it look both elegant and noble.

It is the work of Cejun Yuanxianjun.

Ever since Yuan Xianjun married into the Duke's Mansion with Yuan Mubai, she had lived a very comfortable life. The biggest difference between Lu Liluo and other wives was that she never restricted the freedom of her husbands.

Usually these husbands can go wherever they want and do whatever they want.

Anyway, with the puppets sent by Lu Liluo following her, there will definitely be no problem with safety, and there is no possibility of her having an affair.

So since the wedding, Yuan Mubai was sent to a boys' academy by Lu Liluo. Yuan Xianjun spent all his time managing the business left by the Yuan family's ancestors and improving his needlework.

It can be said that nearly half of what Lu Liluo is wearing now, from four-season clothes and cloaks to underwear, shoes and socks, are made by Yuan Xianjun.

At this moment, Lu Liluo had a pot of fine wine and a few cups of tea on the table in front of him - the wine was brewed by Zhong Wuyan himself, and the tea was roasted and cooked by Tang Jiting.

Five gentlemen, some thin and some fat, sat next to each other - one played the piano, one danced with the sword, and one played the accompaniment.

The one playing the zither is Hua Manlou, whose reputation as a former courtesan was well-deserved. The sound of the zither reaches far into the distance, and the green mountains all around us make us forget the sound of farewell.

The one dancing with the sword is Lu Chengzhou.

The hidden injuries on Lu Chengzhou's body had long been healed thanks to Lu Liluo's various elixirs, and even his cultivation had surpassed its original level.

But he never thought of returning to the martial arts world again - the skills of the little puppets that Lu Li Luo casually gave him were far superior to his.

This made Lu Chengzhou understand that there are always people better than you. The world of martial arts is a never-ending cycle of fighting and killing. Now he is Lu Liluo's concubine, Lu Chengzhou.

I just want to stay with my wife for the rest of my life.

The accompaniment was provided by Zhong Wuyan and Tang Jiting. Zhong Wuyan struck the bell, Tang Jiting played the drum; as for Yuan Xianjun, his hands were busy at work.

No time.

Being able to free up two ears to listen to music is already a great honor.

Yuan Xianjun had recently learned several new crochet techniques, which were recorded in a booklet that Lu Liluo had found somewhere. Yuan Xianjun had applied them in the Yuan family's clothing shop, and they were a huge hit.

But for every type of crochet skill, Lu Liluo would definitely be the first to appear.

Then it quickly became popular in the capital.

Before this, even Lu Liluo had never imagined that he would one day become a blogger selling products. With Lu Liluo as his living signboard, Yuan Xianjun has made a lot of money in the past two years.

During the same period of time, Lu Liluo was naturally not idle either.

On the surface, she spent her days wandering around brothels, drinking houses, and singing boats, and at night she would dive into the gentle arms of her husbands. In reality, she did a lot of things in a low-key manner, especially in the Jinyang Army.

Although she handed it over to the old Duke on the surface, she couldn't really abandon it in private.

With the experience of rectifying the Nan Family Army in the first small world, Lu Liluo was quite familiar with the task in this life. However, she still wanted to personally participate in the work that needed to be done personally.

After more than two years, the Jinyang Army is now finally completely under her control, and even the development of the southern border cities where the Jinyang Army is mainly stationed is basically on the right track.

It can be said that it was only after being busy until today that Lu Liluo finally had a day of leisure time.

The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered.

There was a burst of applause all around.

Lu Liluo opened his eyes slightly and saw an exquisitely shaped boat parked beside him.

"Young Marquis has a good taste"

A woman standing on the boat facing the wind clapped her hands and laughed:

"On such a beautiful day, why did the young marquis secretly take his wives out for an outing without even bothering to invite his sisters along?"

Lu Liluo made a gesture, and Tang Jiting and several other men quickly put on their veils and retreated back to the cabin.

She then smiled and sat up, waving her sleeves:

"It's Sister Jiang. Long time no see. I have plenty of good wine and tea here. Why don't you come aboard and chat, Sister Jiang?"

The woman laughed and said:

"Just about to bother you!"

This person is none other than Jiang Mingyue, the second daughter of the General's Mansion and the elder sister of Jiang Qiushui, the heroine of this small world.

The original owner and her didn't have a close relationship.

You have to know that although Jiang Mingyue is the second daughter of the legitimate wife, she is a very decent person. She has some achievements and is very talented. She is not the same as the original owner's group of playboys.

But Lu Liluo is not the original owner after all.

She wanted to plant a pawn in the General's Mansion who could suppress the heroine Jiang Qiushui, so she had her sights set on Jiang Mingyue early on. They met and chatted several times.

Jiang Mingyue was surprised to find that Lu Liluo did not seem to be as unlearned and unskilled as the rumors described.

On the contrary, he has great ambitions in his mind and his words are meaningful.

Sometimes, a casual word or a point of view would make her feel like she had seen the light and her mind was opened. Gradually, Jiang Mingyue began to regard Lu Liluo as a close friend.

Lu Liluo discovered that Jiang Mingyue, a young lady from a family of military generals, was actually very sensitive to court affairs and had her own unique insights.

I also had some ideas in my mind.

The two felt like they had met too late and would meet up to chat from time to time.

But today was really just a chance encounter.

"Next month will be the once-in-three-years academy spring examination. Sister Jiang, do you have any ideas?" Lu Liluo asked tentatively.

Jiang Mingyue smiled bitterly:

"I do want to. But you know the situation in our General's Mansion. My mother won't let me participate..."

Although Jiang Mingyue's father was the legitimate emperor, he was never liked by General Jiang Tianming.

Jiang Tianming's favorite is the heroine's father, Consort Luo Chengdong. He also extremely dislikes the behavior of the court officials, saying that they are all treacherous and cunning.

It just so happened that Jiang Mingyue's mother was born into a family of civil officials.

Because she didn't like Zhengjun, she also disliked the two legitimate daughters born to Zhengjun.

Jiang Mingyue never even dared to let Jiang Tianming know that she was interested in these court affairs, and had secretly passed the examinations for the titles of Tongsheng and Xiucai earlier.

That's what it says.

After Jiang Qiu Shui, who had traveled through time, showed great interest in the affairs of the court, Jiang Tianming actively acted as a matchmaker for her and did the thing of winning her over, which he had disdained the most in the past.

In her previous life, after Jiang Qiu Shui became the Imperial Noble Consort, Jiang Mingyue's father was divorced and sent home, then hanged to death at the gate of the general's mansion with a rope.

Jiang Mingyue and her sister also had a bad ending.
